- I wanna take another look, anyone object?

- No, no, go ahead, be my guest.

- I have never seen that much.

- Oh mercy.

- That is, look at that, that is awesome.

- How much you think there is?

- I don't know, thousands.

All right.

I still say we should take it to the police.

- Oh, just hear me out, okay?

One of us holds it, yeah.

We check in say, I don't know, 30 days.

If nobody's reported it missing

then we split it between us.

- Yeah, all right, okay.

So who holds it?

- I wouldn't mind.

- No, no, see 'cause I don't know you

and I don't know him.

How I'm supposed to know you ain't just gonna disappear?

- Yeah, he has got a point.

What about?

What about if I'm manning it.

He looks after me, yeah.

But to prove he's not a thief,

I'm not saying that you are,

he goes to the bank.

This is brilliant.

Take out, I don't know, what you got?

- I've got 6,000 in the bills.

- You've got six K,

okay takes out six grand

and gives us three grand each.

- But I keep the case.

- Obviously.

- I ain't got a problem with that.

- Yeah, and if we don't hear anything in a month

we'll come back, split the money.

- Okay.

- Yeah, okay.

Let's do it!

We're gonna be so rich!

I can't believe it.

Came up this morning, I had 20 quid in pocket.

Now, I'm looking at a third share in 25 grand!

It's like it just came out of the sky

and we just like found it there.

From heaven or something.

- So how's it going, Danny?

- What?

- The school.

How do you think it's going on a scale of say,

one to 10?

Nine, maybe?

- Nine-ish.

- Ask a question.

- How do you know how much is in the case?

- We didn't count it yet.

Oh shit.

- No.

- Well, what happened?

- He did.

Come here.

- First rule of cheating at cards.

Always cover the move.

Misdirection, big movement covers the small.

Simple stuff.

Oh and if you can, always sit by the door.

- Look, Mick.

- Forget it. - Look.

I don't wanna forget it, all right. Okay I screwed up.

- Yeah, what did you learn, in a sentence?

- Do it by the book.

- This way.

- You screw up again, Danny, I'll have it tattooed

on your ass.

- So is this Frank Goely?

- Beelzebub.

- Okay, well I say we give him a test of his own medicine.

Listen, I know some people, all right?

And I can personally vouch for how many places

they can hurt you.

- That's not what we do.

- Well what we gonna do then?

- Ash?

- He runs a hotel and casino in the West End.

Casino's bent.

He ships in girls from Eastern Europe for the hotel.

Hunters lose their money on the tables.

Then curl up with Hilda from Hungary.

It's not the sort of man you take liberties with.

In fact, if we had a list of places not to go,

he'd be right there at the top.

- Find me an in.

- Usual.

- Thank you sir.

- I was one card short of a great hand.

- Maybe I should put you on a curfew.

- I'd like to see you try.

- You're not 20 years old anymore, Albert.

- Oh yes I am.

Up here, where it counts.

- You are setting a very bad example.

- Good.

I hear you're giving young Jerry a hard time.

- He screwed up.

- Well, we all screw up.

It's what you do next that counts.

- Maybe.

- He's got rift sense.

And you can't teach that.

And I'm not gonna be around forever.

So you'll need him.

- Let me worry about Danny.

You just get some rest.

We'll call back later.

- Is there anything you want, Albie?

- Uh, three nurses and a deck of cards.

- We'll meet Ash back at the hotel.

See what he's got.

- When?

Call me.

- Yes?

- Lauren Phillips, media services.

- Media?

Sorry.

Hello?

I'm already on it.

Please tell the minister it's all in hand.

He has nothing to worry about.

I'm with Peter now.

Yeah, yeah, I'll call you

as soon as I'm on my way back.

Okay.

Sorry about that.

You know what politicians are like.

- Yes.

- Thing is, we've been tipped off

that the press are conducting investigation

into NHS Trust Services.

And this hospital's been earmarked.

- I see.

- What they do is they select a patient

and follow his progress through the system,

debriefing him as and when he leaves.

- Well, the thing is...

- Patient they selected is an elderly man

called Albert Stroller.

God I can just see the headlines now.

- Right, look,

I'll get on to... - Find him Peter.

Treat him like a prince.

We're all in your hands now.

- Thank you.

- If ever we needed Albert,

if there is an in, I can't find it.

- Well look, we know he plays cards.

- Yeah, we also know he can spot a chick.

- Women?

- He's got two dozen lookers on tap 24 seven,

but doesn't go near them.

I spoke to one of the croupiers at the casino.

I mean the guy's a loaner.

He locks himself in his room night after night.

- No friends?

- No, nothing.

- Stocks?

Shares?

- Doesn't trust them. Dabbing one's lost every ever again.

The man's a block of ice.

He calculates the odds.

He never goes out on a limb.

The only thing he's passionate about,

as far as I can see, is extreme violence.

See there is one thing.

He carries a laptop wherever he goes.

If he has got a weakness,

that's where we'll find it.

- Good, that will give Danny a chance

to show us how much he's learned.

How we doing?

- Depends how much we spend on the set up.

- Whatever it takes.

He put his hands on Albert.

- But I thought the book says,

"Never let your heart rule your head."

Hello?

Your wife.

- I don't think it works.

- What?

- Down loading from the hard disc telepathically.

- I'm thinking.

- Yeah, but they're on dessert.

- Divide and conquer.

Excuse me, hello.

You dropped a fork there.

Here you go.

Enjoy your meal.

- Having fun?

- That's a natural laxative.

- What, eyedrops?

- Yeah.

Just watch.

- Thought you couldn't stand this place?

- I can't.

- Well then it must be important.

- Did Stacey tell you I came to see you?

- Why wouldn't she?

- You didn't call.

- I've been busy.

- Wow.

- I have.

Oh, thanks for the letters.

- I had nothing to say.

- So,

- I want a divorce.

Nothing else.

Forms just need a signature.

I even put a stamp on for you.

Simon and I want to get married.

Well?

- I've gone from soul mate to obstacle so fast

I think I'm gonna get a nosebleed.

- You always loved this more than me.

- Everything you ever dreamed of Izzy.

- Just sign the papers, Mick.

- Two minutes.

What are you doing?

Come on!

Be there.

Oh come on, come on.

We're done.

Well now.

It was here all the time. - Usual.

- I just didn't see it.

This guy is crazy about the movies.

Now the guy's a romantic,

so he's strictly black and white.

- Ah, then Stacey needs to be classier than Diaz.

Someone classic, like Hepburn

- Got it.

- Okay, so we talked about me moving up.

Working inside in the next week's school.

- Yeah, but that was before you screwed up.

- You shouldn't take it out on Danny.

- Yeah, look Pete would be great.

What about Sam, is he free?

Well give him a call for me, would you?

Any other names you can mention

who might be about?

- Danny.

Knock yourself out.

- Thanks Andy, Albert really appreciates it.

- Cheers.

- Sam.

- Ms. Monroe.

- Might need to shave, Sam.

- For Albert, sure.

- Hello Trinkle. - Hello, Pete, how you doing?

- Very well.

I'm here for Albert, all right?

- Oh!

- Maritime Pictures?

Hello there, I have a meeting

with your financial director there later this week.

I was wondering, could you fax me directions?

- Yeah, lovely.

Thanks very much, bye bye.

Okay.

- Right, we've booked you into a room at Gorely's hotel.

And there are faxes waiting for you

from every major Hollywood studio.

You know he keeps tabs on all his guests

and won't pass up the opportunity to meet

a big shot movie mogul like you.

You ready?

- Yeah.

- By the book, Danny.

- I don't know any other way.

- Look into his eyes,

and think as he thinks.

For Albert.

- Okay.

- Morning, can I interest you in a special discount?

Morning.

Hello, can I interest you in a special discount?

- I want a divorce.

- We're all set.

- Right.

- Wow, this is a whole new side of you

I haven't seen before.

- What?

- Suffering in silence.

- What makes you think I'm suffering?

- Mr. Happy left town days ago.

Listen, thanks for what you're doing for Danny.

- Why the sudden interest?

- Albie told me to look out for him.

- Albie.

Is there anything Albert hasn't taken care of?

- No.

Listen, if the strong silent thing stops working for you

and you need somebody to talk to...

- Yeah, yeah.

It's Rachel.

She wants a divorce.

- And?

- And that's it.

- So you agreed?

- I told her I'd think about it.

What, no lecture?

- You've got all this talent.

You can bend people to your will,

make them do exactly what you want them to.

If you set your mind to it,

you can convince her in a week to take you back.

So why don't you?

- You think I should con Rachel back?

- I mean that's what we do, isn't it Mickey?

Create a world the way we want it to be.

You convince her that you can be the man she wants.

Problem is, you gotta convince yourself first.

So, let's go get this bastard.

- I want that one please.

- Movie News.

- Mr. Harris?

I'm with the hospital's administration.

We need to talk about how you'd like to settle your account.

- I wish you lot had talked to each other.

You're a mess!

- I'm sorry.

- I've already settled my account, cash.

Special discount.

- We've had some faxes for you, Mr. Elliott.

- Yeah?

These movie studios, they never leave me alone.

Wanna do me a favor, sweetheart.

Send me up some mineral water, some fresh fruit.

- Of course.

- Got the cars outside.

- I'll see to it,

and I hope you enjoy your stay.

- Yeah, yeah, I'm sure I will.

Thank you.

Jason Elliott.

- So you're in the film business?

- So they tell me.

You like the movies, Frank?

- Since I was a kid.

- Yeah, they don't make them like they used to.

- So what is it you do exactly?

- I find the money, makes the magic happen.

You ever thought of putting money into films, Frank?

- I like my money where it is.

- Where is that?

- Where I can see it.

- Would you excuse me?

- Yeah sure.

Hey Frank.

I'm wining and dining a couple of investors later.

Might be nice, round the night off here if that's okay?

- No problem.

- Thanks Frank, I appreciate that.

- Danny thinks we need 20 grand for the convincer.

- How much are we short?

- If we can get five from Gorely up front

we can scrape 16.

- I'm telling you, Gorely has got trouble

written all over him.

I just don't wanna get in there and be off guard.

- So the question is where are we gonna find a sucker

with four grand at this time of night?

- What, no.

- Come on Eddie, it's better than the banks

at 50 percent return in three days.

- No.

- It's for Albert. - No.

- Will you stop saying no?

- No.

- Eddie?

- Albert told me that if I ever thought

I was talking to a con man, just keep saying no.

- We're not trying to con you, Eddie.

We're asking for your help.

- Three days?

- Tops.

- For Albert?

- Absolutely.

- If I don't get paid back, you're all barred.

- There he is, hey.

Good seeing you, Frank.

How you doing?

- Okay. - What are we doing here?

- Hey come on, just relax.

Frank, now this is Jeff Machin.

Jeff, this is Frank Gorely.

He owns this place.

- Arrogant asshole.

- What's his problem?

- You tell me.

You know, I made the guy three million dollars last year.

He treats me like the eye of hell.

- Whoa!

- Excuse me Frank.

- These bastards are cheating on me!

- Joe come on, just calm down now, okay?

We'll get you a coffee.

- I don't want coffee, I want another drink.

You cheating bastards.

- Come on, hey.

I'm sorry Frank.

It's okay.

- Your friend needs a lesson in manners.

I know, look.

You got somebody, maybe run him home?

- What?

- Frank.

Do him a favor, will you?

He's got very powerful connections.

He's a personal friend of Sly Stallone.

And I promised that I'd keep an eye on him.

- But he knows Sly Stallone?

- Well, it's not so much Sly.

It's more his mother.

- Yeah, I could buy this place.

- He's staying at the Grovenor.

- Close it down.

Turn it into a shit hole.

- I'm sorry Frank.

Now I gotta talk to Jeff.

You got anywhere quiet?

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

- He's a drunk, I don't wanna work with him.

- Come on, Joe's okay.

- Look, if he's in this time then count me out.

- I gave you my word.

- Then screw him and screw you.

- People you do business with have got

a really bad attitude problem.

You know that?

- Do me a favor pal.

Keep your nose out of what doesn't concern you.

- Okay, okay, that's enough.

- You wanna watch your mouth.

- I'm sorry Frank.

Jeff's just wound up about Joe.

Okay, look, all right, he's out.

I got somebody else to cover his end.

Now this is Frank's office.

Huh, a bit of respect wouldn't go amiss.

- You found a buyer yet?

- That's all in place.

We're buying at 15, we'll get back 60.

That's film extras.

And all the cast agencies,

they try and strike up an exclusive

of any movie with a decent budget.

I mean there's smart potatoes in the grand scheme of things

but hey, every little counts, right?

- Except we just lost Joe.

- Said I'd take care of it.

- How, this is a cash deal.

We meet with the producer at breakfast,

before the banks open.

- You know what, screw the deal.

I'm glad Joe's out of it.

A guy's only interested in the bottom line.

He's got no soul.

Know what his favorite film is, Frank?

Rambo.

I mean, how you gonna do business with a guy like that?

Now Bogart, Cagney, now they made movies.

- You like Cagney?

- No one like him before or since.

- Best film?

- White Heat.

- Made it's mark.

- Top Of the World.

- Good film, not his best.

Do you know he was a dancer?

Came up through Vaudeville.

- That's right.

- Best song and dance man in the business.

- When you two have finished

can we get back to the job in hand?

- Yeah.

So, what is this deal exactly?

- The deal is with the producer.

For the extras contract.

We meet him, pay him off,

then go to the set and collect from the guy

from the agency.

- Film set?

- Yeah, trouble is, like Jeff says we lost Joe

so we're five grand light.

- Let me get this straight.

You take this producer 15 grand

and you drive over to the film set

and collect 60?

- That's about the strength of it.

- So what if I put up the five grand you all lack?

So long as I pick up his share,

this guy, Joe's share, in return.

- No way.

- I wasn't talking to you.

- You gonna let this guy muscle in?

- All he'd be doing is taking over Joe's share.

What difference does it make?

- I don't even know this guy.

For God's sake, the lame brain's gonna

give us a check now.

- Hey Jeff, Jeff, come on please.

Just relax.

Does have to be cash, Frank, I'm sorry.

Wanna be polite?

Frank helped us out with Joe.

Cutting him in's the least we can do.

Thanks Frank.

- Like I said, I like my money where I can see it.

I'm coming with you.

- All right.

Hey.

- I'll call.

- Three sets.

- Flush.

Again.

- Pete.

- You took your time.

- Nice to see you too.

The money's in the one with the flap open,

so give that one to Danny first.

- How long?

- Any minute now.

Just about side, eh?

- Excuse me, you can't park there I'm afraid.

- I've told you, Lucy, either the line goes or I do.

Well Jesus Christ, go and tell them.

- Jenny baby.

- Jason.

- How's it going?

- The director's a moron.

Can't you fire him for me?

- Come on baby, I could.

But he'd sue my ass out.

This is a very good friend of mine.

This is Frank Gorely.

- Glad to meet you Frank.

- How do you do?

- Okay, come on now, back to work.

Time is money.

- He's such a slave driver.

Toot-a-loo.

- Toot-a-loo.

- So that's Jenny Cole?

- Yeah, you know her?

- I was reading about her this morning.

- Yeah, she's gonna be huge.

They're calling her the new Audrey Hepburn.

- Jason.

- How you doing?

- Okay.

We start?

- Yeah, it's a done deal.

- Great, I got 200 wannabe starlets

waiting for tonight.

Here, you fellows wanna help me pick?

- Now, we'll leave that, all right?

You gonna talk all day or are you gonna

give me my money?

- Split three ways.

Just like you said.

- That's beautiful.

20 grand.

Not a bad return for half and hour, was it?

- Yeah, looks like Joe's loss is my gain.

- I guess so.

- While we're here,

any chance of walking around the set.

You know, watching a bit of filming?

- Hey, Frank you know what?

I gotta get back, square things up with Joe.

- I thought Joe was out of the picture.

- Well he is for this,

but not the big one.

- Big one?

- Shut your mouth, Jason.

- Did I say anything?

- Just get in the car.

- Anybody asks for me,

you tell them I left five minutes ago.

- So where's my full grand?

- We just gave it away.

- Hi Eddie.

- Did he just give my money away?

- Oh it's all right.

It was bait.

- Bait?

- So, do we get the green light?

- Uh huh.

We'll send him the tale tonight.

- Hey here he is.

Frank, how you doing?

- Okay.

- You remember Jenny?

- Of course.

- She wrapped late today. She wants a little bit of R and R.

- Excuse me, are you Jennifer Cole?

- Yes sir.

- You got a pen?

- Thank you.

- Can you get someone to watch over Jenn

while she plays the tables?

- No problem.

See Miss Cole isn't bothered.

- Go have fun.

- Thank you Frank.

- Can we get a drink?

- Yeah.

So, how'd it go with Joe?

- You know, that guy's a fruitcake.

- I told you that six months ago.

- Yeah, it's a shame.

I kind of liked him, you know.

- Yeah, but this is business.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- So what about the big one?

You mentioned it earlier.

- Jeff.

- Okay, okay, Frank, Frank, sit down.

Tell him.

- We're gonna make a movie.

Kind of low budget.

Say about five million.

Now Jenny, Jenny thinks it's her big break

in the States.

But where we're really gonna make our money

is in Asia.

- Asia?

- Can I be frank, Frank?

- Please.

- While everyone else is looking at the home market

we sell the video rights to Asia up front, all right.

We can virtually name our price.

I figure we're gonna get 10 million

without breaking a sweat.

- And she's agreed to do it?

- She signed the contract yesterday.

- So is Joe in or out?

- Well, he still wants in,

but you know what these mob guys are like.

They're a liability.

Bottom line is Frank,

you wanna slice of the cake, you can make it happen.

- How much are we talking about?

- Well it's gonna be the same as me and Jeff

were in for.

That's 200 big ones.

- 200 grand?

- With a guarantee that you're gonna get

double your money back in three months.

- Nah, I think I'll pass.

- What?

- I'm 15 grand up.

I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.

- What if we, you know...

- We can find someone else.

It's not a problem.

Okay, now, how about that drink?

- Sure.

- You've gotta pick it up Dan.

You're talking to this guy about money.

He's surrounded by money.

He's not phased by it.

You're offering him something he's already got.

You've gotta think about what brought us this far.

What can you give him

that he can't get anywhere else?

Don't talk to his head, talk to his heart.

Emotion, not reason.

Come on, think!

- You like the movies, Frank?

- Since I was a kid.

- No one like it.

- Best song and dance, man.

In the business.

You like Cagney?

- What do you say Frank?

- Count me in.

A banker's draft.

- Thanks Frank, now that's beautiful.

All right, now there's a receipt for 200 grand,

a copy of the contract.

We're all gonna make a lot of money.

- We better.

Top of the world.

- Top of the world, Frank.

You're not gonna join us, baby?

- I'm trying to get my head around this damn script.

- You want me to run some lines with you?

- Would you mind?

- I'll tell you what, why doesn't Frank help you?

Get him in the swing of things.

Frank?

- What me?

- Come on, just gotta read through the script with Jenn.

You're gonna be great, come on.

Go ahead.

- I've never done this sort of thing before.

- Oh don't worry, you'll be fine.

Thank you Frank.

Thank you.

Check's cleared.

It's being transferred now.

Time to make sure he won't come after us.

- Then we blow him out tonight.

You ready?

- Yeah.

- Do you think he's gonna be all right?

- If he does what he's told, he'll be fine.

- There, you have to be face over Mickey

when he shoots or the signal might not work.

If it doesn't work, when you go down

fall on your chest.

The force should split the bag, all right?

- Danny, no theatrics.

Okay, one shot and you go down like a sack of potatoes.

- Yeah.

By the book.

- By the book.

- We're done.

- Okay, we start shooting next month

and Jason is talking to directors all week.

- Well I hope he's getting someone better

than the last one.

- Where is Jason, should be here by now?

- Oh relax Frank, he's just crossing the T's and...

Oh hey Jason.

Jason?

- We're screwed.

- What?

- Joe's gone.

He checked out of the hotel first thing.

- So what's the problem?

He wasn't in the picture anyway.

- Well he was co-signature at the bank.

All right, I didn't have time to change it.

He cleaned us out before he left.

- Cleaned us out how?

Of what?

- Everything.

All right, it's all gone!

Every penny!

- Oh God, I had 200 grand in there.

- Yeah, well we all did!

- Wait, you mean he took all the money?

- He took my money too.

- And I gave that money to you,

you little shit.

- Well I'm telling you it's all gone!

- Go get it back!

- I can't!

Come on, he figures...

He figures we will sign him first when we cut him out.

- Oh for God. - Well let me know where he is

and I'll get it back!

- You can't, none of us can.

He's connected.

- I want my money back.

- Don't be stupid, Jeff.

Come on man, I'm telling you.

I'm telling you man.

He's taken all of it.

There's nothing left!

Oh Frank.

- You dirty rat!

- Get me out of here Frank. - Get him out!

- Frank please, rest.

- Get off my money!

- Please, Frank, help me.

- Get her out.

It's okay, I'll take care of everything.

Go, go!

Come on, come on, come on.

Don't die on me, don't die on me.

Come on Danny, come on Danny.

You're gonna be all right, you're gonna be all right.

- How's he doing?

- They're operating on him now. What about Gorely?

- He's laying low.

He thinks he killed Danny, so

he'll stay that way.

- Good.

- Police?

- I told him we found him like that.

He was there for a big game and got robbed for his stash.

- They buy it?

- There were no other witnesses

so they had no choice.

- I'm sorry.

- For what?

- You were right, he wasn't ready.

- Yes he was.

He did good.

He's gonna be okay.

- 3,900, four grand.

- Well, interest.

- Thought you'd forgotten me.

- How do you feel?

- Like I've been shot.

- The doctor says you should be up and about in no time.

- Got Albie's present.

You wanna come?

- Yeah, I wouldn't miss it for the world.

- Your carriage awaits, sir.

- You know how I hate surprises.

- Well you'll like this one.

- Just look at you two.

I should start taking out medical insurance.

- First there's this.

- That's a lot of money.

- And now the cherry on top.

- Look, Albert, there's no way I can apologize enough.

The truth is, I'm an idiot.

I'm not fit to lace your boots.

I am the shit on your shoes.

And I don't deserve your forgiveness.

But I'm begging you.

Forgive me.

All right?

- Thank you Frank.

That was so sweet of you to run those lines with me.

- Now that's show business.
