Look at this!

Mr. Geoffrey!

What

are you making that?

What are you found?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

There comes a guy who's going to give this one to you.

There's sound.

Don't let me tell you.

W, Frankie, you're going to wait too long.

Where's Tommy?

He'll be coming.

Coming?

He'll be coming.

Enjoy your day, Anne.

Make peace.

Popcorn.

Popcorn?

Yeah, popcorn.

That's the password.

Whoever says it first, that's it.

We split.

Popcorn.

Right.

Got it.

Okay, let's keep it under 30 minutes.

Why, Lady Harriet.

Hello, Mrs. Prescott-Lau.

Mayor, present Lieutenant Dempsey.

I am so happy to meet you.

Yes, same here.

I'm thrilled.

Just thrilled you could come.

We wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Come along with me, dear.

There are so many people who I know will be just starving to meet you.

Well, don't just stand there.

Thank you.

Popcorn.

The bourbon's pretty good.

Oh, the bourbon.

Thank you.

Cheers.

You're right.

James Dempsey.

Angie Hughes.

Hi, Angie.

Hello, James.

Your daughter?

A daughter?

Yeah, good old George.

I didn't think so.

Don't knock it.

They made America what she is.

Hey, who's knocking it?

You know, I support all that stuff.

What stuff?

Stuff they support.

George Washington always told the truth.

You want the truth?

You think Martha Washington really looked like that?

Why not?

It's hard to imagine.

I don't know.

Sure would account for the War of Independence.

Just a couple more days.

Take care of some business and see the slides.

Then it's back to the States.

How about you?

I've worked here.

Oh?

I'm a cop.

Sounds interesting.

It has its moments.

Thanks goodness you're still up.

What's up?

Popcorn.

Pardon me?

Popcorn.

Popcorn?

Yeah.

There's some popcorn by the door.

Well, why don't you go have some?

Dempsey.

Excuse me.

Time's up.

We've had a call.

Look, make peace.

We're wanted now.

How do I reach you?

I'm staying at the Bridgewater.

I'll call you.

Don't make any plans.

Make peace.

Don't say a word.

I have a loss of your rifle.

30 or 40 yards, one bullet through the temple.

Simple, but very skillful.

Sounds like a professional job.

Meaning?

Contract killing?

Who was this guy?

Frank Price.

You're one of Jack Lang's mob.

Jack runs the biggest gang in South London.

Price went over the wall this morning.

That's as far as he got.

They broke them out so they could kill him.

Why?

You tell me.

He's obviously somebody who price trusted otherwise he wouldn't have moved.

So Price is one of Lang's boys?

Yeah.

Trouble is it don't feel right.

This is not the way all Jack operates.

All the same, that's where we'll start.

It's not praying.

It's not down to somebody else.

You with me, Sergeant?

Someone like Bernie Silk?

No.

Because if it is, this is just the bloody start of it.

Or on another thing.

Frank don't have anyone with a talent for this kind of job.

So if it is a contract.

They brought him in from the outside.

What did he mean?

Let's get to the start of it.

And who the hell is Bernie Silk?

Bernie Silk runs the West End.

Plus a fair chunk of North London.

Jack Lang controls the South.

Up till now they've left each other alone.

Respect each other's territories.

But if Bernie's had one of Jack's boys killed, peace is over.

This could be the beginning of a war.

Lang's one of the old breed.

He's into pubs, betting shops, street corner protection.

Bernie came later.

He's into gambling clubs, pornography, prostitution.

But he's never tried to move across the river.

You think he's moving now?

Spiking, Stars, and that's what he wants.

Here?

The guy lives here?

He's old school, like I said.

I hope I like fruit cake.

Fruit cake.

So, how's my old mate Gordon Spiking today?

He's very well, Mr. Lang.

He sends you his regards.

Does he now?

You hear it, Tommy?

Well, you make sure you give him our best regards.

He's sorry he couldn't come himself.

But he is, of course, rather busy.

Oh, yeah.

What's your name?

Frank Price is murder.

Well, that sounds reasonable.

Frank Price is one of your boys, Mr. Lang.

He must be very interested to know how he was killed.

Unless, of course.

Unless it goes what?

I told him.

You.

One of your boys.

Are you listening to me?

Then you might go.

I had nothing to do with Frank, he's killing.

And Spiking knows it.

Just like you know, it's full well.

Who did?

You think so?

Oh, yeah.

I know so.

And I'll tell you something else.

Tell Spiking to get his dates on and pull him in.

Because if he don't, there are them that will.

Great day, great day!

Great day!

Happy motor one.

How are you?

All right.

Do you have a nice day at school today?

Yes.

Lovely.

Give Grandad a kiss there.

Good night.

Say hello to some nice people.

Go on.

Hello.

Would you like a nice piece of Nana's cake?

Yeah.

Give me another lovely cake.

Oh, still.

Oh, yeah.

Tell Spiking that he's got 48 hours.

Two days.

That's all I'm giving him.

Two days to pull that.

That's to pull that party in.

Otherwise, you'll do what, Mr. Lane.

Oh.

Oh, he knows.

He knows.

Oh.

What's up?

What is up there?

It's on the bottom there, John.

So much for Lang's 48 hours.

And the Bernie Silk's mob was topped at the dog track last night.

And nobody saw a thing.

A revenge telling.

What else?

We moved to maximum surveillance.

I want round-the-clock teams from Tapsalock.

On what's yourselves?

Looks like we've got a war on our hands.

That is my guess.

And this is your phone.

And I'm going to use it.

Do you mind?

Did you hear what he said?

Yeah, I'm going to be tied up for a couple hours.

This is important.

Everything's important, mate.

It depends on how you look at it.

I'm not waiting.

Well, I didn't answer it.

You don't come out.

Well, tell British Water.

Yeah, you've got to miss the engine you used there.

There he is.

Come on.

Come on, my son.

Come on.

Lovely.

Oh, do we go?

Oh, yeah.

I know I'm late.

Twenty-two minutes, but who's counting?

I decided to walk.

It's a good day for it.

I love this town, don't you?

At the moment, I'd say.

Getting better all the time.

Now.

Thanks for the lunch.

That sounds like a bye.

No.

You must have a pretty touch, Gator.

I'll loosen it for you.

Why are you working on at the moment?

You?

No, seriously.

I'd love to know.

Contract killing.

When do you go back?

To the hotel?

To the states.

Oh, tomorrow.

For the next day at the latest, I can't leave it much longer.

You open to a little funny persona.

That depends on how pressing you are.

Somebody's here.

Here.

Where is he?

He's busy.

Get him in in.

Fast!

Do you like the decor?

It's not quite my taste, sir.

Come on.

Yeah, he is with some good faces.

Charitable work.

Yes, sir.

Just come.

I'll be next door.

You stay.

Mr. Spikey's.

What a pleasure to see you.

Sit down and make yourself comfortable.

Color's a nice touch, Bernie.

In morning, are you?

Morning.

Well, your boy, you've got none of the dog-track last night.

What's your problem, Chief Superintendent?

Not mind, Bernie, boy.

Yours.

Somebody's just giving Jack Lange a surprise present.

Oh.

Blew out one of his bedding shops a couple of hours ago.

Did they know?

I trust you don't think it was me.

No, I haven't got you down as a bomber, Bernie.

Not personally.

You haven't got the guts.

I don't have to listen to this.

No, but one of your firm... Well, that's different, isn't it?

You're very good at giving orders, aren't you, Bernie?

Chief Superintendent, I know nothing about this bombing.

I've got no quarrel with Jack Lange, but if you persist with these allegations.

..

You'll do what?

The hell with you, I'm going to phone my solicitor.

No, you made that call.

Look very good in the newspapers.

Don't threaten me, Spikey's.

I'm a respectable businessman.

Since when?

I do a great deal for charity.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I forgot.

Well, you make that call, Bernie.

And I guarantee you can whistle for your knighthood.

Is there anything else?

Not just now.

But I'm breathing on you, Bernie, boy.

Can you feel it?

Right on your neck.

You make one wrong move.

Just one.

And I'll nail you to the wall.

You got that?

Come on.

Hold it.

Hold it.

Listen.

We never started this.

But we've been it.

And I say we it back.

No.

There's only going on.

I don't understand.

Until I do.

We do nothing.

Jack, that's twice Bernie's club at us.

Now I say we wipe him out.

And then what I take over his man, do we?

Why not?

Because he's got my baby.

Oh, no, that is why not.

He's got my little grand or that baby.

Now, you listen to me.

Because I'm only going to say this once.

Anyone who makes a move.

Would have my saying.

Anyone.

And I will break his bleeding back.

Personally.

Understood.

Just let's talk some sense.

Shall we?

No.

You are all set.

Don't compare me.

I need to share with you.

Don't compare.

I want to wear this.

I want to get around.

Then I want to wear this.

I want to wear this.

I'm going to go to the next one.

And I'm going to go to the next one.

And I'm going to go to the next one.

How are we doing out there?

After you're sandboys, chucking the money in white light doesn't matter.

You're pointing at Bernie.

You know, Tony, with a set up like this, who needs crime?

Any word from Jack Lane?

Why should it be?

Well, it'll be pretty mad about that bombing.

I'm sure he's mad, but it wasn't us, he must know that.

I'm sorry if Jack's got trouble on his patch, that's his problem.

You know what Jack's like, you've got a short memory.

You're not Tony, Tony.

Jack and I, we've got an understanding.

Sue yourself.

You and me to sue yourself.

What do you know?

Nothing.

Because if I hear you've been talking to those slags, don't it, Sue?

What?

I

don't like losing it.

Is that it?

I rented the wrong suit.

I look like a widow.

James, you look fine to me.

Fine.

Could I have your attention, please, everybody?

Unfortunately, ladies and gentlemen, I have

to ask you to vacate the premises immediately.

Now, if you follow the staff's directions, then please leave in an orderly manner.

I need to pay everybody just leave as quickly as you can.

Have one, please.

I'm at your hotel.

I'll call you.

I'll call you, ladies.

I'm sorry, sir, the casino.

It's a bomb, right?

Yeah.

It's amateur time.

15 minutes.

Well, the cops.

I just did it.

Move it.

Charlie won.

I'm sure I'll go back.

Charlie's leaving you, Charlie.

Whatever.

Arrival Bernie since Clavin' popped him to give Tomlin's back.

Take the next left, now.

Then cut up through the market.

Remind me to ring Mrs. Spike's will cast him down.

I got tired of waiting.

The tired of living as well?

I feel like company.

Hold it.

Is there any metal in that dress?

If there isn't, I've been robbed.

Because this thing may be magnetic.

No problem.

Was it something I said?

Nope.

Nothing you did either.

But if I don't concentrate.

It's the way one hell of a way to go.

Detonator.

Exposed.

It's a good job.

You sound like an expert, are you?

You better hope so.

Give me a chip.

A chip.

A chip.

Just any old chip?

Just... Here.

Ten grand.

I don't come any cheaper.

I can feel it.

What's your mouth?

Now all we have to do is...

What?

Break the contact and the tarmels.

Is that right?

The trouble is it has to be the right wire.

And if it isn't?

Hamburger time.

How many wires are there?

Two.

Any way of knowing?

Uh-uh.

You're... going to guess it?

Yeah.

Something like that.

Which is it?

I think...

This one?

No.

No?

You figure this one?

I think we have a communication problem.

I'd say that's exactly what we have.

And how are we going to resolve it?

How's it going?

Got the cards?

Okay, never.

You're the boss.

I gotta be out of my mind.

Now he tells me.

Well, you've been calling the plays all night.

And again, this was my first hunch.

Baby.

I don't have any choice.

Be lucky, Angie.

You do, James.

Well,

look who's here.

When danger calls, they're never there.

It was a hoax.

Nah, it was really not.

It's been taken care of.

Some guy called Dempsey.

Never heard of it.

Yeah.

Make peace.

Look, no, I was sleeping.

Can't wait till morning.

Thanks.

Where were we?

You were about to tell me something real important.

About explosive devices.

Oh, yeah.

We see, baby, the guru is.

Always handled with extreme care.

Yeah.

I told you.

Leave it out, Jack.

I swear to God, you touched me again and I'm off you.

What the hell got in here?

I got sight.

We had to do something.

Not while I had God.

Damn it.

What do you want to do, then?

Let them walk all over.

Hey, wait!

What for?

To make burnies go away.

Right.

Hurst.

You put Bernie on.

I want to speak to him.

Bernie's not here, Jack.

He's asked me to handle it myself.

What's happened, Debbie?

Is she all right?

Take it easy, Jack.

Yes, she.

Shut up and listen.

Remind your language.

There's an open line.

Don't know who he's listening in.

Now, the party in question is in very good nick.

Still.

Expect you lock her back.

If you've harmed her.

Fuck.

There are conditions.

You with me, Mr. Lang?

Yeah.

What are they?

We'll be in touch with the details.

Now you tell me now.

Just be available.

Why, Mr. Lang?

We won't be using the phone no more.

You listening to me, Hurst?

Oh, Mr. Lang?

We won't be using the phone no more.

You listening to me, Hurst?

I want blanket coverage.

Shoot the works, OK?

I'll take Lamb.

You handle Bernie.

Take Dempsey, but he will stake him out.

I want to.

Where is Dempsey?

Dempsey?

Resting, I imagine.

Resting?

After his exertions last night.

You were a bit abrupt on the phone last night.

Yeah.

I was in the middle of a good dream.

Well, I hope she made you breakfast.

Looks like Bernie's on his way to the club.

I think so.

Where else?

He's in no hurry, that's for sure.

I don't see any.

I think!

Come on, chop your neck!

Yeah, Jack.

What do you want?

Yeah, well, this is a little trade-off.

Now we're both in a position at bargain.

But first, first there's something else.

He wants you.

Jack, what's on your mind?

The truce.

You going, Ted?

Yeah, I can.

Now you've got to do one for me.

You stay well out of it.

This is between me and Bernie.

I want your work, Jordan.

Yeah, my work.

I'll take that.

Thanks.

Oh, thank you.

You didn't think you'd get away that easy, did you?

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

Don't take your country anymore.

I'll get it all.

No, I can handle it.

Turn around, James.

Nice and easy.

Be careful.

I know how to use this.

I guess you do.

Now, hands on the trunk.

Load the trunk.

And be sure to leave a space.

For you.

Cheers, Jack.

No hard feelings.

You wait.

Jack, for the love of God, can't you see?

He said us out.

Ooh, man.

Don't be afraid.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Jack!

No,

no!

Oh!

Hey, James!

Shoot that girl!

She was her idea.

Police!

I

didn't know either.

Not till now.

They did it deliberately.

They wanted a war.

For why?

So you and Bernie would take each other out, and they'd have it all for themselves.

Carved up between them.

Gordon.

You broke your word.

You call us a guarantee of no violence.

This is well in your case, Jack.

Don't know about Bernie.

I wonder if you can get a posthumous night hood.

Where the bloody hell have you been?

That's a really good question.

She was a professional killer.

Yeah.

She really was.

Yeah.
