How are you ?

How long do you have ?

Another three months.

When you get out--

Anto feels very guilty.

Hes still your best friend.

I need you to tell him that you think its okay about me and him.

Is this a joke ?

No. He cant relax.

Here.

I want to give you this.

Will you tell him its okay ?

This is your team,

and we are going to win the league this year.

Look at the prizes, for fucks sake.

Now, you know the score. Tickets, five for a pound.

You can get them from me

or at the bar.

You okay ?

Oh, yes. A bit tired.

Just a bit. You know ?

Did AntoWas he-- He was cool.

Have you spoken to him ?

I havent spoken to him yet, no.

You going to ? Yeah.

Whos that with him over there ?

Thats Johnner and Bunny Kelly.

Used to live around the corner from me.

Ill never forget one Sunday morning. He had a row with his granddad.

His granddad, now. He stuck him in the bin.

Everyone was afraid to pull him out. The man was in the bin for an hour and a half.

Course Anto thinks theyre great.

You go over to him ? Yeah.

Um,

I dont want this.

I dont want it either. No. Its yours.

Whatever about you and Anto,

thats nothing to do with you and me.

So you keep it.

I want you to keep it.

Is that cider ?

Yeah. Have you not got a drink yet ?

No. Im gonna get one now.

Let me get this one.

You go and talk to Anto.

Okay.

Its a free thing. Somebody warned me.

And it was my personal responsibility to give him that money.

Im not particularly fuckin interested in listening

to your financial, uh-- You know ?

Thats the story, Johnner. I just cant get it.

Well, in my view of it, thats not gonna satisfy anybody.

Youre not even makin a fuckin effort, you know ?

What you want to get is someone to help.

You look like a dozy bollocks.

What can I do ? You can get this for a start.

And then well take it from there, eh ?

Hello. Can I help you there, pal ?

How are youse, lads ? Theres a thing with Anto, Git.

We gotta take care of it. Hell be out to youse in a minute.

Its just, you know, hes wanted now.

He has to do the raffle.

Excuse me. Would you fuck off, please ? Thank you.

Dont want to have to put you out, Git.

I cant go without him.

I mean, I just cant do it.

Steo.

Theres a lot of people outside. They know better.

Im puttin you out, Git. Okay.

Okay ? Okay.

Okay ? Jesus, Steo !

Come on.

Sorry about this, ya know ?

Id never played before.

I thought, you know, Ill bring 50 quid.

If we lose it, we lose it, ya know.

But thats it, like.

I wont come back.

All of a sudden Im ahead, ya know ?

Then you lose a bit, win a bit,

lose a bit, borrow a bit.

Next thing I know, Im trying to pay the whole thing off.

It never got heavy like that before.

Swear to God, you saved me in there.

Just leave it to me. Ill explain everything, okay ?

Okay ?

I remember when I was your age.

I was probably worse than you.

I was a little bollocks.

I was the one knacker you didnt want to come near.

Forget it.

Forget about it.

But I was never stupid.

And youve been very fuckin stupid.

He made a mistake, Mr. French. He didnt know the score.

Anto, I appreciate what youre doing.

And youre shittin your pants.

And you dont know whats gonna happen,

and thats probably good sense.

But at the end of the day, youre an arsehole,

and youre the last person Im gonna listen to, so shut up.

Because if I think youre gettin a smart mouth, Ill kick your head in.

Now, you. Im talkin to you,

Rocky Five.

Look at his face.

If you dont look at him, Ill break your fuckin legs.

Hes lost the eye.

Youve destroyed his face.

What kind of horrible, ugly, desperate bitch

is he gonna end up with ?

Hell be lucky if some Arab lets him finger his dogs arse for a fiver.

You like that, do ya ?

Its just, you know,

the way you said it was funny.

Steo.

Bring him inside.

And put Sky Sports on out.

Im sorry. I wont say anything.

Im finished with you anyway.

This is between him and me now.

Ill wait for you.

Now, by rights, and normally,

there is no fucking way Id be sitting here even discussing this.

I would have had your eye.

Hes my wifes sisters boy.

I think hes useless,

but I cant have this.

I cant have the Mulligans hanging out of me bollocks,

tryin to get me to do something.

Do you know who Frank Grogan is ?

No. Old associate of mine.

He was down in Cork, doing a deal for me.

Johnner was supposed to go down and pick up the money,

but obviously he couldnt because he cant even see now.

I would have had another fella do it,

but hes doing eight months for contempt.

And that Steos useless.

Grogan hasnt got in touch with me.

Reckon hes panicked. Thinks somethings up.

I need someone to go down, find him, bring the money back.

Mr. French, Im only out of prison.

Its very difficult for me to get involved in something like this.

There wont be any problems.

All I want you to do is pick someone up

at 3:00 in Gort and take him down to Grogan.

Friendly face.

Help him out. Reassure him.

Johnner handled it very badly.

And this is what I need you to do to make it right.

Jesus, Mr. French, Id like to help and get this all out of the way,

but it was an accident.

If you dont want to do it, dont.

Just give me £25,000 and I wont be out of pocket.

This is details of where Frank has been for the last few days.

Keep the photo.

Ill see if Anto can get us a car.

I think Anto should stay here.

What, here here ?

Dont worry. Youve got company. Who ?

Bunny Kelly ? Kellys a good man.

I dont think youll have any problems.

Bit of cooperation. He fucks up, its your fault.

You fuck up, its his.

That way I dont have to go around trusting everybody.

Ive just gotta nip in here for a sec.

Shit.

Look, this is stupid.

Number one, I can see you.

Number two, youre moving.

And three, I know youre in there.

I can see you. Youre behind the whatchamacallit.

I can see you. Are you gonna let me in ?

I cant talk through this.

Hello, Mr. Kelly.

How are youse ?

Teresa !

Do you know who this friendly face is ? No.

Do you know Grogan ? I know of him.

It says here he was staying in the Glenwood Hotel. Okay.

But thats out of the picture. I mean, theres no way hes gonna still be there.

I dont know. If thats where hes staying.

But if he doesnt know whats going on, hell be moving around, you know ?

Ah, thats one theory.

Why would he stay in the same place ?

Why wouldnt he ?

Hed want to keep the head down.

He doesnt know whats after happening.

Hes an old-time fella. Id say hed be calm about the whole thing.

Yeah, Im not saying the mans not calm.

Im saying hes not gonna stay where any idiot can find him.

I know what youre saying, but what are you basing this on ? What do you mean ?

I mean, what are you basing your opinion on ? Because its what Id do.

Yeah, but youre not him, are you ?

Now, Im not saying anything. Dont get me wrong.

This is not about you. I dont know you.

So I have to go on what I do know. What do you mean ?

Well, I mean, youre a young guy. Yeah, all right.

Dont get me wrong. Im not blaming you for your opinions. If thats what youd do, fine.

But theres more experience on my side that might help us get the job done that bit quicker.

So what do you want to do ? I want to--

I think I want to see when we get there. Do you know what I mean ?

See when we get there ? Thats the plan.

Get me some fags, will ya ?

And something to eat.

What are you waiting for ?

Hello. How are you ?

Hows it going ? Not too bad a day now.

No.

These, these

and, uh, 20 Carrolls, please.

And whatever that is out there.

He hasnt put anything in yet. What ?

Shit. Whats the story ?

Whats it look like ?

It looks like you stole this car. Yeah.

You go on in and get the smokes. Ill have this off in a minute.

Hes only waiting on this.

Yeah, well, its not helping anybody, you standing there looking at me,

keeping the pressure on, now, is it ?

Im not trying to put pressure on you. Just, hes looking.

Any second now hes gonna twig that this is not our car.

Do you ever remember when you were young ?

You could never do anything right when somebody was looking at you.

What ? Press in here.

Where ? Here. Round the rim.

Hard. Aye.

Thats it. You fill that up.

What are you doing ? Come in and give us a hand.

Wheres your man ? Hes down here.

Aw, fuck ! Here. Take that. Come on, take it !

Cover him.

Where are you going ?

Oh, bollocks.

Look, if you move, Ill kill you. Mm.

Had to get the video.

He clocked us messing with the cap.

He knew the car was hot.

Hed have shopped us in a minute.

I had to do it.

Had to be done.

Did you have to rob the place ?

Have to dump the car.

Could we not have waited till the next town, no ?

Nah.

Fuck that.

Stay too long on that road, what are you gonna do ?

Cops see you, youre a snared rabbit.

I dont want to hear it.

I just-- I dont even want to hear it !

Try it now.

You dont know anything about engines, do you ?

Afraid not. No. Okay, well, youre gonna have to push her.

Excuse me ? Come on, we dont have all day.

Yeah, well, you know, Ill tell you what.

I probably wouldnt do it properly.

You know what I mean ? Id probably only fuck it up.

So why dont you push the fucking car ?

Can you get that heater on ?

OhOh, Jesus ! Its disgusting ! Turn it off !

Will you turn it off !

Not my fault.

Were gonna miss this guy. Who ?

The friendly face. Friendly face.

Oh, for fucks sake !

Is there any chocolate left ? No.

Is there none left ? I dont eat chocolate.

Well, I have to eat it.

Ive a little condition.

Where is it ?

Straight across.

Jesus !

Bunny ! Bunny !

What are you doing ?

I cant feel the bottom. For fucks sake.

Im gonna ruin me shoes.

Hello ?

Couldnt wait anymore. Is that it ?

We fucked this up. Fuckin car.

Dont worry about it. Well get Grogan. We dont need this twat.

But Ill tell you something.

Blaming people isnt worth the paper its written on.

What are you talking about ? How are we gonna get him ?

Well get him. We need the friendly face.

Bunny ! We need the friendly face !

Im getting a bit tired of hearing about this friendly fucking face.

Why dont you use your initiative and stop acting like a fucking baby.

If we mess this up, Tom French is gonna eat us.

No guts, no black pudding.

I think you know what Im talking about.

Thats not an argument !

Stay here and be a boy, then.

The men are getting in the car.

He checked out yesterday.

Gotta start somewhere.

Thats the first rule.

Theres the pub he drinks in.

The Black and Amber.

The Black and Amber.

Black and Amber.

Youre not coming in ?

Lets not draw loads of attention to ourselves

like a bunch of fucking monkeys, all right ?

Ill see you when youve finished wasting all our fucking time.

Im gonna get a room. Long drive.

Pint of Guinness, please.

I dont know if you can help me.

Im looking for a friend. I was supposed to meet him in here a couple of days ago.

Just wondering if youd seen him.

Hes the one on the left

with the thing on his face.

Was he in ?

Thats 1.78.

When was he in ? A few days ago.

A few days ago, eh ? Do you know where he is ?

Did he leave a message ?

Therell be somebody down to you now. Who ?

Someone who can help you.

♪ Trouble in mind

♪ Im blue

You looking for Frank ?

♪ But I wont be blue all day ♪

Do you know where he is ? Hes in here.

Hes here ? Yeah.

Come on. Hes waiting for you.

♪ In my back door someday

♪ Trouble in mind

♪ Its true

♪ Ive almost lost my mind

♪ Life aint worth livin

♪ Feel like I could die

If its not right,

we should do it again now.

Youll never get it right later. Go again.

These fuckers must have Grogan.

Were gonna have to try and find him.

We could tip off the guards. They must have dislodged your brain, did they ?

We get the guards involved here and drag Tom French into this, hell go fuckin spare.

Whatever you owe him,

itll be like nothin when hes finished with you.

No. Were gonna have to do this.

Hows that ?

This might sound mad,

but I think you look better now than you used to.

You know what I mean ?

Here.

Saw you didnt have one.

I didnt get time to pick one up.

How much do I owe you ?

You get me next time.

Whats your story, you and French ?

It suits me to do this.

What is it ? Debt ?

Yeah. A debt.

Yeah ?

Is that him ? Mm-hmm.

Aye, aye.

Bunny !

Jesus !

Cool it. Its me. What are you doing ?

I had to make sure it was you.

You ever use one before ? No. Never.

Know anything about them ?

Right. What were you in prison for ?

Indecent exposure.

Were you ? No, I wasnt.

Come on, show us. Here.

Take it. Heavier than you thought it was going to be, eh ?

Fuckin right. All right now, its not loaded, so its safe.

But when it is loaded you cant be too careful, so we always leave one chamber empty.

Look, the holes where the bullets go, theyre called chambers.

Right ? Now Im gonna load it. Right.

Now, you push this forward, this comes out.

Now we can put the bullets in. Im only putting in five bullets.

The gun takes six. A six-shooter.

Correct.

Now, you see, one of the chambers is empty.

And this is the one we leave under the hammer.

So when we close the gun--

See ? This is the hammer.

This is what hits the bullet and the gun goes off.

So what it is, is, if the gun gets jostled,

we dont leave a bullet in that chamber.

The hammer is on an empty chamber. Right.

Now, when you pull the trigger back like this,

this bit goes around, and now we have a chamber with a bullet in it.

See ? The gun is cocked. Ready to fire.

And the thing goes round. Yeah. Yeah.

Now, thats an old gun. Its in good nick, but it is an old gun.

Its been around, so you dont want to get caught with it.

Youll be done for nearly every job since 1977. I was six.

So ? Ah, but seriously, like,

every time you fire it, it does become more identifiable.

So, to make it worth my while keepin it, every time you fire it

you owe me, say, 100 quid.

Its not part of the job. The job ? No way, son. Independent operators.

Best way not to get involved.

Nothing like a financial arrangement to help keep that bit of distance.

Thats the way. Now show me how youre gonna use it.

What, shoot it ?

No, use it. Come on. Youre going in with these boys.

What are you going to do with it ? You know--

Show them I mean business, you know ?

Yeah, well, thats the idea, but youve got to use it to your advantage.

You got to use everything youve got.

Give you the edge. Know what I mean ?

Get down on the ground, you bollocks ! Ill burst your fuckin head open !

Get down, or Ill blow your bleedin head off ! Do ya hear me ?

Do ya ? Yeah.

You all right ? Yeah.

You see, theres no point in having a gun unless youre going to point it,

and theres no point in pointing it unless youre going to make them believe

that youre fucked up enough to use it. I think you are fucked up.

Now, these will help as well. Aye.

I could only get one cool one.

That was one me nephew had.

Will you stop looking at me !

Fuck !

That him ? No.

Shh. Its okay. Youre safe.

What ? Youre safe.

Is this a dream ?

No. Its real.

Weve come to take you back. Is the money here ? What money ?

The money from the deal. Dont know.

Come on ! Lets get youse up.

Wheres the money ?

Down ! Down, you cunt ! You bollocks !

Get down on the ground ! Get down now !

Stay down, boys, or we start shooting.

Where are youse taking me ?

Back to Tom French.

No ! What are you doing ?

Oh, Jesus ! What the fuck is that ?

Sorry, Frank.

This is bollixed ! He didnt want to come with us.

You didnt get the money. Says he didnt know anything about it.

Bunny, he nearly died when I said Tom French.

Im telling you, if hes nicked the money, he can face the music.

Its not our fault.

Ive had a feeling about this, you know ?

You know ?

He didnt want to come with us.

Well, of course he didnt want to go with youse

cause you made a mess of it.

And you never got Franks pal, did you ? We had a few problems.

You made a bollocks of it. He doesnt seem to know anything about the money.

I dont blame him. I wouldnt tell you couple of clowns anything either.

Do you still have him ? Yeah.

Hes in the-- Hes in the car.

Franks budll be there again today.

Bring Frank to him.

Can I speak to Mr. French ?

No. No, hes gone out.

Mornin, Frank.

I can tell youse now, I dont know what the hell youse are talking about.

We understand you cant trust us.

Thats why were gonna take you to someone who knows you.

Its not that. I honestly dont know what youre talking about.

Why do you think we were sent to get you ? Tom French ?

Yeah. Can I have one of those ?

No.

Look, I dont know if this is some kind of mix-up or what hes after tellin ya,

but theres only one reason hed wanna give me hassle.

Whats that ? Ive been fuckin his wife for about 18 months.

What ? Thats what Im telling you.

So what-- What are we-- Stay there a second, Frank.

Come here a minute.

Stop payin attention to that.

We have to be very careful here. Do you hear me ?

No matter what that loolah says, it doesnt matter.

Its none of our business.

All we have to do is deliver him, and this is over.

I dont care whos fucking who, whos drunk, or what.

The less we know about this, the better. Believe me, all right ?

These are slippery fucks.

Words no good. Truths not important. Just the job, okay ?

What if hes-- What if he really is--What ?

What if he is ? It doesnt change the job.

If he wants to fuck Tom French around, thats his business.

Im not gonna drive him around while he does it.

You have to ignore him. Dont let him use you.

Come on. We have to change the car.

Civilization. Ill walk in from here, get fresh wheels.

You drive through. Meet me on the far side.

Hi. Hello ? Is that Carol ?

Caroline. Uh, hello, love. This is Uncle Bunny.

Who ? Uncle Bunny, sweetheart.

Uh, tell us, is Auntie Teresa there ?

Yeah.

Well, can I talk to her ?

No. No. Right.

Uh, will you-- Will you do something for me, Caroline ?

Will you tell Auntie Teresa that Uncle Bunny loves her ?

No.

Trussed up like a fucking turkey.

Will youse believe me if I dont know this guy ?

At this stage, Id believe happiness was a big dick, Frank. You know what I mean ?

What does that mean ? Dont know. Just said it.

Tom French is not gonna do youse boys any favors.

Never did anything for anybody.

Theres a ruthlessness in that man.

Even if he liked you-- and he doesnt like anybody.

Now, Im not like that, boys.

Sure, I associate with these people.

Thats my fault. No one else is to blame.

I come from a lovely family.

They taught me all sorts of decent things

from a very young age.

I have a degree. Youse know that ?

Degree in ridin other blokes wives ? Dont say that.

Anybody can fall in love. Dont say that.

Frank Grogan, B.A.

See that ?

Education can change your name.

Change your life if you let it.

Change your mouth into an arsehole. Oh, now, that is a real--

That is a real-- What Tom French would say.

Thats about the level now. But Ill tell youse one thing.

And this is the truth.

I was working with a couple of young fellas not much older than you, son.

Lovely fellas. Cousins.

And one day I sent one of them down to the bookies to throw on a fast bet for me.

Won and all, and when I went in to get it

I found out that the girl had had to fill in the docket for him.

I mean, the poor fella.

And do you know what I did ?

I taught them lads how to read.

Tom French ?

Never occur to him in a million years to do something like that.

I taught them fuckers to fuckin read, for Gods sake.

You gave them boys something to do while theyre banged up

for capers you probably got them involved in, yeah ?

Oh, yeah. Big gas.

But theres no gift like giving. You cant beat it.

And the opportunity can come

and you miss it, and its gone forever.

Now, theres one thing you boys can do

as human beings, for the sake of decency--

What ? A few fuckin clothes, you know ?

How long have you been workin for French ?

I dont work for him. What ?

Im like you, Frank. I dont have a choice.

Do you owe him money ? Well, thats the big question, isnt it ?

If there isnt any, you know ?

There isnt.

How did you get involved with Frenchs wife ?

Known them for years.

I was at their wedding, for fucks sake.

We used to work together.Yeah ?

Long time ago-- the days of Sonny Mulligan.

What happened to him ? Thats the whole point.

Nobody knows. Just vanished ?

You hear different stories. I dont know.

Probably living in the Caribbean.

Millionaire gangster.

Suckin a cocktail. Someone suckin his cock.

True gentleman he was.

A gent.

Is he Frenchs boy ?

Dont think so. You dont know him ?

This fella youre takin me to.

What if hes got plans to, you know,

take care of me-- in a bad sense ?

You feel all right about that ?

I dont think Id just let something like that happen, Frank.

Im depending on you then.

Do you hear me ?

Im only used to the very best. They only stock the best.

Youse are fuckin bastards.

Didnt even get me a pair of shoes. Nearly forgot.

What do you think of these ?

Aye, they should do the job. No. These are for me.

What am I gonna wear ? You can have these ones.

Did you ever make love to a gangsters wife ?

Jesus. You cant really enjoy yourself.

I mean, no, no. Im not saying--

I mean, shes a smashing little bird, Frenchs missus.

I dont really want to hear this, Frank.

Do anything to you. Do anything.

And there you are, relaxing.

Perfectly within your rights--

Two consenting adults having intercourse. I dont want to hear this.

And human contact. Very nice.

But all the time like, like, youre just waiting--

just waiting for them to catch up with you.

Youve no idea.

The fear.

Its like making love with the angel of death fucking sitting on your--

Would you fucking shut up !

Youre jabbering away there like, like, like a fucking idiot.

I mean, the fucking thing is, like, you know, I mean, we dont know,

one, if youre bullshitting us;

two, if youre lying; three, what the fuck is going on.

So just give it a rest, all right ?

Cool your jets. Im only talking.

All you fucking do is talk ! Bunny.

You know, like, I mean, Im that close from putting you back in the fucking boot.

And you can fucking stay there ! Bunny ! Bunny, look !

Undo his hands, quick.

Quick !

Give us a minute, men. Nothing serious.

Are youse local ?

No, just passing through. Couple of days off.

Well for you. Yeah.

You know your tags is two months out ?

I know, Guard. Its a company car, you know. Ive been after them for weeks.

You want to get it sorted out. Save yourself the hassle.

Yeah. They were the same with me last year. Ended up paying it myself.

Easier in the long run. Get them to reimburse you.

Yeah. Ill-Ill probably do that. Hmm.

Where youse headed ? Uh, his auntie.

Where is it, Mick ? Ennis.

Ah, youll be there in about three quarters of an hour.

Not the way he drives, Guard.

Is that right, yeah ?

Youve a bit of Cork ? Family down there.

You can hear it. Where are you from yourself ?

Originally from Claire.

Ennis, actually. Would I know your relations ?

Ah, she only moved there last year. Is that right ?

Think were okay now.

Okay, well, good luck, boys.

Thanks, Guard. Thanks very much. All the best.

Now, huh ?

Whos on whose side now ?

What ? After me being brilliant with the guard and everything ?

What if he doesnt know this bloke ?

Then he might be telling the truth, you know ?

But I mean, I wouldnt put it past this geebag to let on he doesnt know him.

Get out of paying what he owes. Do you see what Im saying ?

I dont trust him, Git.

This job-- clear your debts with French ?

You must be joking.

Sometimes feel as if Im gonna be beholden to that fucker the rest of me days.

Would you not just go somewhere ?

Away from him, like ?

Ah, you cant just drop things.

Anyway, its not just up to me.

You know, the missus and all that.

You know ?

Its never that easy.

Fuckin place.

Im not going over that bog again.

You bring him over.

Dont fall into any fuckin holes.

Im gonna check it out first.

Ah, for fucks sake !

How are ya ?

You with Frank ? Yeah.

You know him, yeah ? Oh, yeah.

Frank, yeah. Ill take it from here.

Okay. Ill get him.

Look. If theres any trouble--

What trouble ? Bring him over, dump him, come back, we go home.

What ?

I sort of said I wouldnt leave him if--

What did I tell you ? What did I say to you ?

I know. Look, these shits will do anything to get their way.

Now, you take that bastard over there, cash on delivery.

Youre back here, two minutes, or Im gone.

Cause you love him so much, youre welcome to him. Now do it.

Just do it, huh ? Thats all there is for you ?

Thats all there is, chicolito, and Ill tell you why.

One, theres no room for anything else.

Two, youve got to leave-- and this is quite fucking simple--

youve got to leave room for yourself. Three--

Jesus, Bunny ! Youre just like him.

Its all mouth. I mean, what if that was you in the boot of that car ?

I dont care. Do you see ?

No. I dont.

Where is he ? Come on.

Weve got to go across here.

Ive never been here before.

I dont know this place is what Im saying.

Look, please, dont make me go in there. Look, I wont leave you.

Well see whos here. You promise ?

How are ya ? All right.

I dont know him.

Do you know Frank ? I dont, no.

The fella who was supposed to be here yesterday couldnt come today.

Whats his name ? I dont know.

Cause, you see, Im supposed to hand Frank over to a friendly face.

You dont like my face ? What ?

Im just telling you what Im supposed to do.

You hang around, you know, and youre gonna give me a problem here.

Be on your conscience forever if you leave me. Makes no odds to me.

Both of you, in. I told you this. Wheres your--

Yeah, I think Id like to see that as well.

Slowly.

Throw it over there.

Inside.

Kneel down on the tarp. You !

Look, theres no need for this. Just do it !

Look, what-whatever youre getting--

W-What are you getting ? Five ? Ten ? Twenty ? Ill give you fifty.

Ill give you fifty grand if you let me walk away from this.

We can go to my bank tomorrow.

Whatll you give me ? I dont have anything.

Fuck him. This is you and me.

Forget about him. Hes got nothing to do with any deal that we make.

Okay.

There better be a very good

expli-fucking-nation for this.

Bunny, thank God. Talk to this maniac.

Drop it ! Now !

Git.

Get up and come on.

What about me ? Youre not my problem.

Two of youse can go to your bank. See youse around.

I-I-I was just buying time. I knew you were gonna come through for us.

Great, you know. Fuck you.

Think about it. I buy my way out of this, Im still at large.

Do you think Tom French is gonna be happy with your work ?

Its not our fault. Were not letting you go.

-Charles Bronson is. I can get you a good thing here.

Face it, Frank. You blew it.

I can get Tom French off your back for good.

Cause youre shaggin his wife ? I dont think so.

Theres some money that we have to sort out.

Oh, really ? I wouldnt have thought that, now.

Ah, I know. I know. Big joke.

But this is the truth.

I can sort us out.

Bunny, can I talk to you for a sec ? I mean it.

All I need is a phone. Theres two things here.

He buys his way out of whatever this is, hes right. Well get the fuckin blame.

All everybodys been doing is lying to us.

But we hang on to him, do this on our terms, and we can walk away.

Cause French wants this bad.

I say we stop fucking around and use this bastard.

Who do you want to ring ?

Who do you think ?

Uh, that would help me, actually.

If I can get someone on my behalf-- That this isnt my fault--

I have a mobile. I dont fuckin believe this.

Its in my car.

Howd you get your car in here ?

What do you mean ?

Were parked across the bog. Why are you on the back road ?

Well, its more scenic, isnt it ? Give him the keys.

Put him in first class.

Get in.

I had a plate.

A plate for printing one side of a 20-dollar note.

Got it cheap, years ago.

But I mean, what use are one-sided forgeries ?

So since then, Ive been trying to see

if I cant get anyone to get me the other side, to do the backs.

Couldnt, could I ?

Then all of a sudden, Tom French gets the other side.

Now, I go way back with Tom French. We used to work together.

So I offer-- This is about Sonny Mulligan ?

Ah, no, no. This is years ago.

This is nothing to do with Sonny.

Me and Tom French have been more or less out of touch since Sonny went.

We had a falling out over a certain lady friend.

I rang him up. You know, let bygones be bygones.

And offered to buy his side of,

you know, the other plate.

Tom French is having none of it.

Hes too greedy. He wants them both.

And he offers to buy my one for five grand. I ask you !

So I go, Bollocks. No way.

Cause now we know that the other one at least exists,

its worth far more than that.

So its like, um, Ive arsed around with this long enough.

Ill sell it.

But not for any five grand.

No problem finding a higher bidder.

This bloke in London-- Ten grand, thank you very much.

But before I can ring this other bloke, Tom French rings me again.

Hes found a buyer for the both plates.

A hundred grand, and he can give me twenty-five up front

as a goodwill fucking gesture.

So I say okay,

as long as his wife brings the money down.

So, there I am waiting in the Glenwood

to do the deal with his missus, and she never shows.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What ? What do you mean, what ?

What do ya think I mean ? I mean, What ?

What ? You mean, the whole thing, What ?

Its a fairly simple question.

What are you--

What did you have

that time ?

Ya fuckin da brain.

Mr. French, please.

Who is it ?Git.

Yeah ? Franks pal wanted to kill him.

Have you still got him ? Yeah.

What do you want to do ?

Make a deal where no one gets killed, if thats okay by you.

Ask Frank if he wants to do what Sonny might have wanted.

He wants to know if you want to do what Sonny might have wanted.

When ? When ?

In the morning. Hell know where to go.

What about Anto ?

By the time we meet,

hell be tucked up with his girlfriend.

How will you be paying, Mr Guinness ?

Cash.

I think.

Oh, Jesus, lads, I wouldve thought that by this stage

this would be a little bit unnecessary.

Well, we really need a little break from you, Frank.

And this way you can have a little kip,

watch the box, whatever.

W-What are you boys doin ? Well, itd be a shame to waste the facilities.

What if I need to go to the toilet ?

You shouldve gone before we came out.

When we first met complex numbers

we said that every quadratic equation had two roots.

Were going to prove that.

In fact, were going to prove something much more ambitious,

something that goes by the grand title of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.

Now, thats a bit of a mouthful. What does it mean ? Well--

This mate of yours, a good mate, huh ?

Yeah.

Best mates since we were six.

And, uh,

as well, like, hes, uh-- hes seein this girl I used to be with.

Thats tough.

I just wanna get this over with.

Get away, you know ?

Where would you go, then ? Dont know.

States. Dont care. The States is brilliant.

You been there ? Yeah--

Uh, no. Just on the telly.

Youre a fuckin chancer.

What do you think about this tomorrow ? You askin me ?

Dont get smart. Come on.

Chance to find out what--

Only chance to get out of this, for fucks sake.

I mean, what the fuck are we into here ?

Were up to our bollocks in some real old-time gangster fucking row.

Im ridin your wife. Youre wearin my wig.

I had Sonny Mulligans dick up my arse two nights on the trot in 1971.

You know what I mean ? Yeah.

Saps.

Do you want another one ? Another one ?

Can we get another two, please ?

So, in order to see

what sort of pictures were going to need for the proof, heres Colin.

We already have an excellent picture for complex numbers

as points of the complex plane.

Im not educated like the folk out there, you know,

but I have a theory about the ladies.

See, a good-looking bird, shes gone around all her life

blokes lookin at her, comin on to her, tryin to fuck her.

Pretty soon shes gonna have the opinion that life is full of romance.

At work. In the pub.

Life is basically full of romantic fuckin, you know, sex.

You know ? Yeah.

Thats the way she sees life, mmm ?

Yeah, well, an ugly bird

goes through life more balanced.

No chance of a ride. Forgets about it.

The proper outlook, you know.

Im not treatin everybody like Im some bitch doesnt have to make the effort

because my tits

give me a license to whatever.

You know what I mean ?

Uh, whats the--

Well, Im still workin on the theory, but

its a thing about

maybe ugly birds are better.

Hmm ?

How long have you been married ?

Twelve years.

Yeah, you know,

I was trying to--

Shes been stayin at her sisters. Just for a little while.

You start fuckin thinking.

Armed robbery. I did six and a half years.

You cant, you know. You lose-You lose a lot of, um--

There was a-- There was a man.

A man I shared a cell with for two or three months.

Um

what went on,

i-it wasnt full--

Im bein frank with ya here now.

Not that Frank. Not Frank upstairs frank.

Im not a queer, you know,

but Tom French says hell tell and

me wife doesnt know.

And thatd tear it. Thatd fuck it up.

I havent told anybody else about this. Dont worry about it.

Oh, I dont know.

I sometimes feel as if that cunt is all over me, all over the fuckin place.

Been a while ?

Im only out two days, man.

Id have the arse ridden off that quicker than youd get your glasses off for a Taig.

Yeah ?

Whoa. What are you doin ? What do you think Im doin ?

I took me da out for a few drinks one night last year.

He was ill all his life.

Emphysema. Couldnt work with that.

He loved his drink.

But a terrible, messy fuckin drinker.

And so I took him out, lashed a few scoops back.

I was walkin home with him when we saw these c--

these fellas ram-raid a shop.

Alarms going, the works.

They grabbed hi-fis and all this

and into the car and off they went.

And this fuckin idiot beside me

says he wants a video.

Walks into the shop, picks one up.

I was tryin to get him to put it down when the cops came and snared us.

And, uh, I said Id done it.

Why ?

He was me da.

You know ?

He couldnt have,

so I said it was me.

Went up before this bollocks of a judge.

Sent me down for eight months.

And then two weeks later I got word.

The old fella kicked it anyway.

Waste of fuckin time.

And I was gettin a loan with me girlfriend.

We had plans.

We couldnt get it then because of me.

So, thats how I lost me girlfriend.

Did ya not tell her the truth ? Nah.

And blame a poor dead fella ? Thats worse.

Nah. I made me commitments.

Head down, and now Im out.

Yeah.

Youre at large.

Oh, shit.

What were you doin ? Same as you.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Sorry, love. Were in a hurry. Could you settle your bill, please ?

Its paid in advance. This is phone calls.

Sorry ? Theres three phone calls made from your room.

That fuckin motormouthed-- Fuckin--

Were not payin for his calls.

How much is it ? 2.80.

Cheap fuckin-- Could I query this ?

Of course. You not gonna pay it.

Just wanna look at the numbers. We cant have time for this.

Ill be one second.

Two local calls and one, its a Cork number.

Right, hes in Cork. Come on. Do you recognize these local numbers ?

This is a local taxi company. Come on !

And this, I think its the Slieve Na Vogue-a hotel about five miles toward Mullingar.

Were gonna kill him.

Show.

Pat Shanks B.A.

Ahh.

Ya motormouthed fuckin idiot, ya.

Goin on about your B.A. B.A., yeah ?

Well, Im Professor F. Fuckin Kelly,

and Im here to give you a lecture on gunshot wounds to the face,

ya sneaky little fuckin in-the-bath fella.

Now, Im that close to just gettin rid of ya.

Go and put your clothes on, you tubby little no-dick, lying little fucker !

How are you, Git ? Dont fuckin mind him.

Get dressed. Come on. Give us a chance.

Fuck that. Put your clothes on. Youre makin me sick.

Come on ! Theyre here !

Excuse me.

I just got held up. Ill be about half an hour.

Table for three, please, by the window.

Thank you.

Come on, Frank. You know the drill. Oh, fuckin hell.

Come on, come on, come on !

Theyre gonna come. Are you out ? What ?

Are you out of ammo ? Yeah.

All right. Better take this.

Bun, I cant be doin this. Its nothin. Its just to put them off.

But what if I hit something ? Its just a warning, Git.

Jesus, Bunny.

All right, theyre comin.

Just do what you done in the car park, all right ?

Are you gonna do it ?

Shit !

Jesus Christ, come on ! Theyre gonna kill us all !

You dont have to kill em, for fucks sake ! Just shoot at them ! Please !

What are you doing ?

What are ya doin ? Will ya come on !

That was good shootin.

Dont worry about settlin up. Well sort it out when its all over. Huh ?

You know. What we agreed. About what ?

Dont make me do this.

You pay what you shoot. Six hundred.

Are you joking ?

Why would I joke about somethin like that ? I only make a joke when its really funny.

You should know that about me. You were tellin me to shoot.

No, I was telling you to do what the right thing was in that situation.

To shoot the gun. Thats what the right thing happened to be.

But it doesnt affect our arrangement, which you freely entered into.

I dont want to be teaching you about ethics on top of everything else.

Please dont make me do that. Okay ?

Okay ?

Another thing you could do is buy the gun off me.

Seven hundred. And I wont charge you for firing mine.

All right ?

Okay ?

Anyone could panic.

I never wanted to be any trouble,

Thats the simple beauty of it.

Hey, Git.

Nice few days ?

When you do whatever this is,

Antos already gone home. Okay ?

But with me and you ?

Well see how things go. Thats as good as my promises get.

That right, Frank ? Promises.

State of you.

The thing is, lads, were not here to fuckin-my moral fibre.

-What way do you wanna do this ? -As long as its done, Im easy.

Why doesnt Git come with me.

Im not armed.

Ill even let Bunny search me, if he promises not to enjoy it too much.

Sorry. I didnt like that.

All right ? Yeah.

All right. Well be five minutes.

Git.

Is this about plates ?

Ah, the famous plates.

Franks a nice fella, but you cant believe a word he says.

So you learn to hate him for your own good.

He said something about your wife.

I dont want to be rude,

but thats between me and her.

This is it. Im fucked if Im diggin.

Youre young. Give us a fag.

What is it ? About two foot down theres a suitcase.

You used to go with Sabrina Bradley, didnt you ?

Known her all her life. Do you know that ?

She used to come in with her little shorts, skinny little legs.

Child grows up,

enters the adult world,

behavin like an adult.

Very fond of her.

Shes always had a sneaky regard for me.

I doubt it.

Hit a nerve there.

Youre a bit of an oddball, arent you ?

You just-- You dont talk to anybody.

What do you do ?

Whats in your life ? Things like this ?

Just tryin to stay out of the way.

Thats where youre wrong, you see.

You need people doing you favors and shit.

You shouldve been working for me a long time ago. Bunch of morons, I have.

I dont work for you.

Now, remember this:

This is as close as losers ever get to this kind of money.

Would you shut the fuck up ?

Youre like a fuckin-- Jesus fuckin--

Flyin form, Frank. Yeah.

Nobody talks anymore.

They were gonna build all around here a few years ago, Frank.

That wouldve shook you. Ah, its the luck of the draw.

Its just gas. Hope you lads are payin attention.

See what money does to people. It tears em apart.

Never known money to bring people together, and thats the truth.

Now, thats an odd combination, Frank-- you and the truth.

This is it.

I dont dig.

Gits got the spade.

Is it far down ?

No, its not far.

Soil settles, huh ?

Theres something here.

Thats right.

Theres something else here.

Oh, Jesus !

Thats that, then.

Sonny Mulligan.

What happened ?

Money. Clash of personalities.

Not with Sonny. No.

Sonny was a gent.

Yeah ! Yee-hee !

Fuckin money !

The counterfeit plates were Sonnys retirement plan.

Finest plates ever made. Never seen craftsmanship like it.

Hed hired them from the big boys across the water

on condition he wouldnt print more than 50 grand.

Twenty-five years ago we were one of the most successful gangs around.

We were very close. We had it all.

Tom even married Sonnys niece, and I let him.

But we blew it. We wanted him to print more than 50 grand.

I had a blazing row about it the week before he died,

right in the middle of me own fuckin wedding, all Sonnys pals there and all.

So we had the fantastic brain wave of borrowin the plates

and printing our own sneaky batch.

He always kept one on him. I saw where he buried the other one.

Plan was, wed print one side, do the other later.

If he knew what we were doin, well, you could forget about it.

The Mulligans wanted to know what happened to Sonny,

the big boys wanted their plates back,

so we said Sonny had ripped us off and disappeared.

There was a lot of heat. We were very lucky not to be killed ourselves.

And then, to top it all,

Tom caught me in bed with his wife.

We couldnt even breathe the same air anymore, let alone do a deal.

Right up to here we are, a quarter of a century later.

Poor cunt lyin out here in the cold all these years.

He was a prick. Lets burn that and fuck off.

What are you doin ?

Where is she ?

Who ?

Dont fuck me around.

Where is she ? Wheres my 25 grand ?

Just stop the shit, Frank.

Where is she ?

She never showed.

I swear to God, Tom, she never came.

She did youse both. Im fuckin delighted.

That guns not gonna work after 23 years.

I like a gamble.

Tom.

Thats for Sonny.

And this is for fucking my wife.

Where are youse two goin ? Just do it, if youre gonna do it.

Oh. Is the faggot gettin all catty ?

Im not that !

Youre not anything.

I didnt know I was the type.

What ?

About to shit in me pants.

Why didnt you hit him the first time ? Empty chamber.

What were you doin with an empty chamber ?

You told me always to leave one. No, I didnt.

Im not arguin with you. Youre a cunt.

Git. What ?

How much did Frank say wed get for these ?

Well, I reckon youll be able to get another pair of those white shoes.

You dont think a man would only have one pair of shoes like them, do ya ?

Are you jokin ?

No.

Youll know when Im jokin, cause itll be really funny.

Come on, Bunny.

You gotta stay awake. Weve gotta get you sorted out.

Come on, keep it together.

Okay.

Where you goin after this ?

Come on. Whats the plan, huh ?

Where are you going ? Youre not comin with me.

Did I say I was ? Ive things to do.

You wanna get sorted out goin to the hospital before you do anything.

I suppose. What am I gonna tell them ?

Ill say I did it. Will ya ?

Would you fuck off !

Ah, Ill get some backstreet cunt.

I dont feel that bad anyway.

I could drink a pint. Could ya ?

Do ya fancy one ? Dont mind.

Where are you livin ? B and B.

Theres room in my house if you want, till you get sorted out.

Jesus.

Youll have a room of your own, 30 pound a week. Not too shabby.

Theres a hundred grands worth in this case, and youre tryin to get thirty quid off of me.

Yeah, well, I always said if I ever got rich Id never change.

You know, Im gonna-- Im gonna stick to it.

Youre brilliant. Yep.

Thanks for comin. Its all right.

I havent seen you around for a while. Ive been very busy.

Thinkin of goin away. Where you goin ?

States. States is brilliant.

You been there before ? No. First time.

Do you know where Git went ?

Here. What is it ?

Put it away. What is it ? Put it away.

What is it ? Would ya put the fuckin thing away when I tell ya, please ?

What is it ? A little few bob for you and him to burn.

A few bob. I know.

From who ? You know who. Dont make me say it.

Git ? I think that might be how it is, yes.

Where is he ? Hes gone away. States.

Do you think he knows anything about where Tom French is ? Why would he know ?

Anto told me he was going to do something for him to help Anto with a debt.

Well, I think he might have done that, all right.

I heard it around. I just bumped into him.

He asked me to give you that.

You dont think he was involved ? You must be jokin, love.

Tom French done an insurance scam and fucked off.

He did a Sonny Mulligan on it.

Bunny. Wait.

If you do bump into him, will you give him this for me ?

I dont know, love, but Ill tell you this much:

Whatever happens over the coming years, you be ready to forgive your man,

cause sometimes the benefit of the doubt can even save your life.

Im learnin that.

So many men think so highly of you,

might be hard for you to see which one is the one thats gonna light up

just from hearing your name.

But Ive met him. So have you.

The white one, it is. Relax, will ya.

Whats your problem, man ? Liar.

Jesus Christ.

Here, boy. Im watchin.

Howd it go ? Jeez, kid, not too good.

But I managed to get this back off her.

I didnt want it. I wanted her to have it.

You fuckin moron.

Gonna miss the plane.

What the fuck am I doin ?

Do you mind if I ask you something ? Depends what it is.

Remember that bird you were with that night in the hotel ?

Yeah. Did she suck your cock ?

Thats whats been on your mind ? Well, you know, I reflect.

Did she ? Yeah.

But I went down as well. I always do.
