(CRIES OUT)

Leave now. Understand?

Don't call out. Don't look back.

SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE

FAINT BEEPING

They call him Supari.

Travels the world. Kills for money - always within our community.

He arrives in London tomorrow morning

after killing an innocent young man in Paris.

I am offering him to you.

OK. That'll buy you five minutes of my precious retirement.

OK. That'll buy you five minutes of my precious retirement.

Two cousins.

The first, Amit... A good man and a friend to me.

Works hard. Makes plenty money.

Cheap fashions for cheaper teenage girls.

The other, Vijay...

A bad man. Mid-ranking drug dealer. Brutal.

Amit marries. A beautiful girl from back home.

Has a son. Amit, the father, works too hard.

Heart attack. All his wealth, put in trust for his son.

But if anything should happen to the boy before he comes of age,

all the money goes to the next male with the family name.

So Vijay hires a hit man to kill the child so he can get his hands on the money.

Ten million sterling.

And all you care about is helping the poor child?

Come on, Chavan. Don't play a player.

Very well.

If Vijay gets the cash, he will move into the money business.

In direct competition with you?

I'm not interested.

Have I not helped you put away bad men?

If Vijay challenges me, there will be a war.

Then take this Supari out yourself.

I cannot. Why?

Supari, the hit man...

..is my brother.

MAN: And blessed are the fruits of Thy womb. The Lord Jesus Christ.

BOTH: Amen.

It's just words. This is impossible, Calum.

There is no baby.

Hang on, you think it's the baby thing why I want us to be a proper husband and wife?

Why else would you want this? Because I love you, babe, hey?

Then you must be a proper Catholic.

PHONE CAMERA BEEPS AND CLICKS

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Come here.

So what do you think? Me and you...

..giving it a proper go? The real deal.

You said "no pressure", Calum. No. And no more secrets. Never.

Ever. Cross my heart.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Oh, sorry. A minute? Just Calum.

What?

You OK? Yeah. You?

And you're over the whole Symmonds thing, right?

Symmonds crossed a line. I pointed that out. End of.

Yeah - by putting a gun to his head. It wasn't loaded.

He's a member of Her Majesty's Security Services, not some gangland boss.

And Lenny wants...? To know that you're...

what? Back on a leash?

You want to be doing them exercises in the morning, mate.

Your little muscles are at their most responsive. What would you know about mornings (?) Boys!

Contract killer - guy on the left - arrives at Saint Pancras 8:30 tomorrow morning.

What do we do with him? What you do best. Take him out.

Name? Supari. It's Hindi slang for "hit man", apparently.

Who's his target? A baby boy.

I'll be watching over him and the mother.

BIRDSONG

Hi, the usual nanny couldn't make it, but I'm from the same agency.

No! No, no, no, no, no. This just won't do.

I asked for an Indian girl. How hard is that to understand?

So you're from India, originally?

Oh, I loved it when I worked there. Yeah. Fascinating (!)

The couple I worked for they were so rich! What was their name? Erm...

Sanjay and Kiran... Kiran?

Varma? Sanjay and Kiran Varma?

What, you don't know them?! I went to Bombay Scottish with Kiran.

What are the chances? Who's this?

The usual nanny's sick. They sent this one over.

I was just calling to tell them - Get rid of her.

Vijay... Look after your own kid for one day.

Out. Stay!

Stay. You're just perfect.

As my late husband's cousin, Vijay, I cannot turn you away,

but this is MY house.

Come.

(Yeah, I'm at the house. The kid'll be here.

There's a nanny and a bodyguard.)

It's beautiful.

It's what life's about.

Two people...being in love.

Love is more complicated than bad art. Don't knock what you don't understand, John.

Love is more complicated than bad art. Don't knock what you don't understand, John.

Do you understand the plan, Calum?

Find Subbuteo.

Psychological technique: dehumanise the enemy by giving them a crappy nickname.

Americans used to do it in Vietnam and Iraq. With devastating effect.

The plan, Calum.

Follow him till he's away from all these people, then pop him.

"Pop him"?

Stay in contact with hands-free, all right?

(GURGLES)

His name's Shakespeare.

You don't like it? Oh, no, it's lovely.

It's er...it's very historical.

It was either that or Marlowe, and he was so violent...and homosexual.

Not at all appropriate.

John, I've spotted him.

He's wearing a green jacket, carrying a brown hold-all.

I see him. I see him.

He's going for the upper stairs.

Yeah, heading towards... Champagne bar.

Keep your head down.

INDISTINCT TANNOY ANNOUNCEMENT

'He's just picked up a bag. Looks like a pre-arranged drop.'

'Weapons.'

Shit!

He's seen me.

Calum, he's in the lift. Get down to the lower level.

DRAMATIC MUSIC

He's there, he's there! Where?

He was just there.

He came for me, a cold-blooded hit man!

You share a flat with one, Calum.

LENNY: 'Hello?' Yeah, we lost him.

'Well, you better get to the child before he does.'

(GURGLES)

Right...

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Lenny. What is it?

Madulika... Huh?

There's a man coming here to kill your son. What are you talking about?

Vijay hired him. We have to leave. What...?

We have to go right now, or your son's going to die.

Come on.

(GASPS)

Back up the stairs.

TYRES SCREECH

John...

DRAMATIC MUSIC

Shh... Shh... (GURGLES SOFTLY)

(CRIES OUT)

(CRIES)

Put the baby down.

Never.

(SUPARI CRIES OUT)

(GURGLES)

Your mum gave up her life to protect you, matey.

Always remember that.

Some mums, they just run off and abandon their kids.

(GURGLES) What's his name?

Shakespeare. You're joking!

(Shh! He's not deaf.)

We have to get out of here. What about his mum?

Nothing we can do for her. Come on.

Babe...

Do you know how I told you about how we protect people?

You said no more lies, Calum. No, straight up.

This little man is one of them people.

(His mum got killed by a very bad man.)

And now we have to look after him for a little while.

Swear this, Calum.

On your music. Babe, I swear on my entire White Label collection.

Go on, then. Hello, hello!

You'd make a good mum.

We're not done with Supari. He's gone. I know how these guys work.

They keep moving, never look back.

No, not this guy. He's never once missed a hit.

Chances are, when he works out the baby's still alive, he'll come back. It's pop psychology.

It works well enough on you! He'll put two and two together

and he'll work out his brother Chavan is behind saving the boy.

Chavan hired us to take out his brother? Don't ask.

All to do with the mother. Very Greek, if you ask me.

Either way, Supari will come after Chavan, assuming he knows where the baby is.

I won't let you do it. Do what, Calum?

You're not using baby Shakespeare as some kind of worm on a hook.

Chavan's the worm on...the bait.

Anyway, the baby's safe - he's staying here, right?

And who's gonna look after him?

Ha! Good old Uncle Lenny?

Baby needs love and warmth, John,

not basic skills in manipulation!

Basic?

What's she doing here? She's...well...

I've got a name.

Good with babies? Manuela's not getting involved.

No way! I won't let it happen.

I'll do it. I need you.

I can look after the baby. I won't have it.

You won't have it? I'm your husband.

Y eso lo hace mi jefe entonces? Ahora que, usted esta en control de mi vida? Que se cree!

Babe, look... (SIGHS) Sorted.

MOBILE PHONE BUZZES

Mr Symmonds... 'Is it done?'

Not yet. Installing this kind of audio-visual equipment takes time.

Time in which all four of them have to be out the flat.

'I can help with that. Wait for my call.'

Where have you been? I don't want Lenny having anything to do with Manuela.

She's just baby-sitting. There's no way the guy could know the kid's at ours.

She knows stuff about us, John. She's seen the guns in the flat.

He'd kill her, if he found out. Lenny's all bark and no bite, mate.

That's what they said about Ivan the Terrible. What would you know about Ivan the Terrible?

He was terrible, wasn't he? Everybody knows that!

SHOP BELL RINGS

Hey!

I'll wait here.

I wouldn't - not if I were you. Who are you?

A colleague of Lenny's.

The child? He's safe...for now.

Your brother got away, though. Then he will come here.

That's the idea. Yeah.

You cannot kill him. Not here!

People will talk. I'd get everyone out, if I were you - now.

Including your man on the door.

Do it...or I will.

Not you, though. You stay. You're the bait.

Very well.

You grew up together, did you, you and your brother?

What's it to you? I'm just curious...

..as to what kind of a man hires someone to murder his own brother.

I am not a killer, like my brother.

Yes, I have taken lives, perhaps in more terrible ways,

Yes, I have taken lives, perhaps in more terrible ways,

but the difference between us...

..is that I see the darkness I have created around myself

and, on occasion, seek out the light.

The light in this case being the baby, right?

Little "wheel of life"?

# Sol solecito

# Calientame un poquito

# Por hoy, por manana

# Por toda la semana

# Luna cascabelera #

It's really for a father to sing.

Calum said you guys are getting serious.

Well, he didn't really say. I was just reading between the lines.

There is no serious with him. Everything is one big joke.

Ha, ha, ha (!) Well, he's serious about you.

Really?

What's that? Decoy baby.

Decoy baby? Yeah, in case Subbuteo turns up, starts casing the gaff out.

Doesn't see the kid, gets suspicious... I thought it was dead clever.

She's Asian, and everything!

He's probably not expecting the kid to be here. He thinks Chavan will know where it is.

It's a girl. Do you think he'll be able to tell if he gets close enough?

No. It's perfect. Do you think he's actually going to come here?

I'm counting on it.

(GURGLES)

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Yes?

MAN: 'We need to talk. Lenny won't take my calls.'

Well, I'm sure he has his reasons. I know you care about him.

I think he might be in a lot of trouble.

No, I can't. Not now.

You need to go somewhere? I think Lenny's about to make a big mistake.

We'll be fine. You can go.

OK. Where?

Don't you ever stop eating? Everyone gets scared, John.

Being brave is just about overcoming your deep inner fear.

In my experience, you get scared, you freeze. You freeze, you die.

Great (!) You tell me that whilst I'm stood here

waiting for the world's most lethal assassin to arrive?

He's coming here expecting to find Chavan. Maybe one heavy.

We've got surprise on our side, so just trust me.

It'll be a piece of cake. Hmm! "Piece of cake".

Very good! I like how you did that.

'Yes, girls, sorry I can't get to the phone.

This is Calum McKenzie. Leave a message.'

Calum...

I finished thinking.

Maybe we try.

See if this can be the real deal.

(CHUCKLES) What have I done, little man?

Mmm! John, mate, you should try some of this. Good shit!

SHOP BELL RINGS Sorry, mate, we're clo... Whoa!

(PANTS)

You could have taken me at the station.

What was it - afraid of killing somebody (?)

You're in the wrong game. That's where we're different, you see.

Killing's not really a game to me.

Then what - a vocation (?)

And that's better? This morning, you tried to kill a child.

You killed his defenceless mother instead.

And now you're questioning MY moral framework?

(This "piece of cake" surprise thing, isn't working is it?)

He's out of bullets.

(Now what?)

Now, do you see that? If it's a game, you lost in every single way.

I just wanted you to know that.

CHAVAN: Wait!

When you took the work, you knew that by killing the boy you would destroy me.

When you took the work, you knew that by killing the boy you would destroy me.

We share the same blood!

You are nothing to me.

You talk too much.

Let me know how it works out with the whole "wheel of life" thing, won't you (?)

Families, eh, Calum?

Poor kid didn't stand a chance!

Why don't you go home and see your wife?

Go on, I'll clean stuff up here.

Calum is here, hey?

DOOR CREAKS

SEAGULLS CRY

By day, you can see Silvertown.

There used to be a munitions factory in the First War.

Purifying TNT.

It went up in 1917. 73 dead, 400 injured.

Shattered windows in the Savoy, turned a cab over in Pall Mall.

You could see the flames in Guildford

and hear the blast in Norfolk.

That's what you get for playing with fire, isn't it?

History always bored me. What do you want?

Lenny refuses to come into the fold.

Huh! Sorry, is that funny?

Lenny in a fold? It's mildly amusing.

I know what he thinks of me. Well, then, you shouldn't be so surprised.

It's touching, your loyalty. Really.

There aren't many women who'd do what you've done...for an ex!

I think we're finished. Truth is, I can't help Lenny.

People are starting to lift stones

and sooner or later they'll find him.

But I can help the rest of you.

Leave Lenny and join you?

Well, you can't run around like tabloid-sponsored vigilantes for ever, now, can you?

Well, you can't run around like tabloid-sponsored vigilantes for ever, now, can you?

And if you can't have Lenny's toys?

You'll burn us all.

Do your worst.

But you knew I'd say that.

Oh, thanks for coming.

All right, love?

No-one's going to hurt you, OK?

Why don't you just put that down.

Get out of here! It's all right.

I'm from the council.

Maintenance, yeah?

I'll kill you!

Don't, please!

(WHIMPERS AND SCREAMS)

Silly, wasn't it?

Nobody's going to get hurt.

Really? Yeah.

These things happen sometimes.

You're a sensible girl.

You won't tell anyone I was here, that you saw my face... Will you?

No. I promise.

You couldn't do something for me, could you, love?

Lift up your head. Look at the ceiling.

Just like you're at the dentist.

Now, just close your eyes.

Baby? I'm home!

POIGNANT MUSIC

JOHN: Calum?

(GENTLY) Calum...

Calum, what happened, mate? No!

Baby's OK.

She's dead.

That's what happened.

We'll have to dispose of the body.

Is that it, Lenny?

You gonna get rid of her, like she never existed?

You don't have a heart! Get off me.

You are his bitch!

That's the truth.

Did you tell him that she knew about us? You did, didn't ya?

What? And you, Lenny Douglas, killed her.

Not with your own hands - you wouldn't have the courage to do that.

You're not making any sense, Calum.

Letting her look after that baby!

What was all that about, eh?

Making me think that everything was all right,

then getting one of your thugs to finish her off?!

This isn't about what she knew.

Don't you even bother! You're as bad as them.

Where were you, Rose?

Did you do it?

Did you kill her?

It was all of you!

You all killed her.

Get him out of here.

(Come on...) (SOBS)

Who did this, Lenny? Symmonds.

He called me. That's where I was.

He said you were in trouble,

that he could help and then, when I got there...

He said I was thigh-high in shit and then offered you two safe harbour.

He wanted me out the flat.

Symmonds wouldn't have the balls to move on me without some kind of evidence.

He sent someone to bug the place?

Yeah. We'll find nothing now.

Whoever it was messed up, didn't know she was here.

I should never have left her on her own.

If I'd have stayed here with her - You'd be dead, too.

I'll kill him for this. I handle Symmonds.

Yeah? And what does that mean?

You'll use Manuela's death to leverage some kind of deal with him?

He's establishment, John. She was just a girl.

She had nothing to do with this.

Calum loved her. (SCOFFS)

Calum loves anyone who doesn't kick him in the head.

Symmonds is a dead man.

You touch him again...

..and that will be the end of everything.

Everything, for all of us.

Do you think that has finally gotten through to you?

Now, let's tend to the dead, as well as the living.

I want you to watch him.

There's a problem. There was a girl in the flat.

She had a gun. It got a bit out of hand.

What girl? What do you mean, "out of hand"? She's dead. What?!

Italian, or something, girlfriend. What does it matter?

You killed an innocent party?

How am I supposed to explain a fucking corpse? Hold an inquiry.

That seems to do the trick.

The body - where's the body?

I don't do disposal.

If this had been a proper op, then...

Fuck! Jesus, you left it in the fucking flat?!

Where the hell do you think you're going? Same place as you, posh boy.

To the dogs. There's a sweet little brindle bitch in the last race.

She runs like a dream!

How is he?

He'll be all right.

You really think so?

No.

You can't just dump her.

I know a place.

I'll do that.

It's all right, Calum.

Get her legs.

That's it.

Wait...

Hail Mary, full of grace.

Blessed is the fruit of Thy womb.

Pray for us sinners, now...

..and in the hour of our death. Amen.

Amen. Amen.

(SOBS)

(GURGLES) He's yours now.

Give him an education.

Let him be one of the good guys.

As long as he's looked after and protected,

Vijay won't have the financial muscle to take you on.

But I can't - The baby for Supari.

A life for a life.

Lenny, listen...

This girl...

It was all a terrible, terrible mistake.

How does it feel, Matty?

It's not the same as the climb to the top, is it?

Must feel like a sheer drop into hell.

Lenny, there must be some way we can put all this behind us.

Ultimately, in the big picture,

this girl is of... no real consequence.

this girl is of... no real consequence.

You, of all people, must understand that?

"Of no real consequence"?

OK, here's what's going to happen.

You relinquish all present or future claim on me or my unit.

Of course. I knew you'd understand -

No, no, no, you didn't let me finish.

And I never want to see your face again.

And Mercer?

He'll do as he's told.

As will you.

Goodbye, Matty.
