Buy me a drink? Yeah, sure.
'Looks like we're going to be 50 down.
'Not a good month, John.
' When I find out who's responsible I'll You'll what? We only took a couple grand, see for yourself.
If you're going to do it, if you're going to cross that line, has to be worth it.
What if we took the lot? My husband's not a hero.
Open it! No.
Go, go, go, go! I'm going to do your knees and then your elbows.
We're full, let's go! Something went wrong.
You didn't get it? We got it.
We got it all but, Chris.
He was hurt.
Shot.
By who? I don't know who, and I don't know why.
Is he dead? 'What do you remember? 'How much do you retain? 'This is when the real work begins.

'This is when they think they know you.
'But they don't.
'They can't.

One male I'll need some new swabs, Steve.
Swabs.
I'll need the saw next, please.
Thank you.
Christopher Lebdon! Christopher Lebdon! 'and it's thought an extremely large sum of money was taken.
' 'Police haven't yet given details 'of how the gang broke into the counting house, 'nor how many were involved.
'We expect more information at the press conference this morning.
' Hello? Dita? OK, calm down.
What's happened? Here we are, sir.
'Confirm subject is approaching hotel.
' Confirmed.
Over.
'.
.
Released yet, but early indications suggest that the number 'is going to be big, perhaps the biggest cash robbery in UK history.
' Hey.
Hey It's all over, promise you.
I promise you.
It's all over.
'.
.
What we do know is that the gang was heavily armed 'and several shots were fired.
' We don't have to do this.
Yes, we do.
We can go, me and you, take off.
Who knows what he'll say if he wakes up? We have a plan and we're sticking to it.
Tell me this wasn't your fault.
Of course it wasn't! Excuse me.
You poor baby.
Question eight.
What s-superhero did actress Linda Carter p-p-p Spit it out, John! Play from 1976 to 1979.
Was it W-W-Wonder Woman? Question nine, in what sport do players take long and short corners? (Hockey.
) What? Question 10.
Need a lift? No thank you, I'm still sober.
You could always down a few and jump in with us.
I'm in no rush.
I promised I'd give a couple of the guys a lift.
See you tomorrow.
Night.
Here you go, mate.
Thanks.
Finish your drinks, please! Fancy going on somewhere after this? I know a good titty bar we can get into.
We've got other plans.
What, just the two of you? Romantic meal somewhere? A kebab and a bumming down an alleyway? You jealous? I think you're his type, he's been eyeing you up.
Can you two leave it out for a change? Finish your drinks, please.
Right, I'll leave you boys to johnny up and get sweaty, then.
You'll be thinking about that all night, won't you? Me? No.
I'll be in the titty bar putting a pound coin in your girlfriend's pot.
Leave it, leave it, leave it! Leave it.
Good night, benders.
Why d'you always let him wind you up like that? We need a place to meet.
We can't keep doing this every time we want to talk.
I thought it was a pretty successful quiz night, to be fair.
What is that? Sarcasm? Sorry, comes out after a few beers.
There are things we need and things we need to do.
Our first task should be to delegate those items.
Should someone be taking minutes on this? Just let him talk.
The plan's pretty simple, as far as I see it.
We set up a dummy collection, load up with as much as we can, then get the hell out of Dodge.
No, that won't that won't work.
It'll take 'em all of three minutes to connect it back to us.
By which time, we'll be long gone.
No, we cannot run.
That is not the way.
Agreed.
I'm not doing this cos I want to move to Brazil.
All right, Mr Bigshot.
What's your plan? See, normally a job like this will start on the outside and then they'll recruit someone well, someone like us.
We're approaching it arse about tit.
So far we have three men on the inside and no-one on the outside.
We need labourers.
Is that something you can help us with, Chris? Why are you asking me? I might know someone.
Who? Let me sound it out first.
Friend or family? Just let me test the water.
I won't give out any specifics.
Can I ask a question? Shoot.
When are we supposed to be doing this? A week from now? A year from now? Soon as possible.
September.
Six months.
And you don't think we should have a vote on this? The Southampton site is due to close in late August.
A third of their business is going to be taken on by us.
So, more cash in the vault.
Plus, any amalgamation could create confusion in the interim period.
Fine, September.
I'll mark it in the diary.
I wouldn't It was a joke! Right, listen.
If I am going to talk to these guys, I'm going to need some play money.
I thought you were just going to sound them out? I am.
But I want to show I'm serious.
If I can prove to them that I can get something out.
Well, how much? A couple of bundles should do.
What? You think I'm going to do a bunk? We have to put it straight back.
We can't miss an audit.
I might only press a couple of buttons for a living, but I'm not stupid.
OK.
OK, but I will get it out.
All right.
See you in the morning, campers.
'Ey! 'Ey! I thought you two were friends.
We are.
But he doesn't know about your father? What do you know? You're a security guard in a cash warehouse, Chris.
Your background was checked the moment I employed you.
I assume nothing's changed in that time.
Gordon, what a surprise.
Not stopping you from doing anything, am I? No, no, no.
No, not at all.
How do you feel about the North West? Of what? Of England.
It's a region.
I'm not sure.
Well, be sure.
Be certain that you love it and are prepared to move your family there.
Harriet Lynne is leaving for health reasons.
I don't know what that means, but I assume it's cancerous.
I've been asked to suggest a few replacements, promoting from within.
I've given them two names.
You and Mr AN Other.
Really? The other guy's a dead cert, but I wanted to put you forward to make him look better in his interview.
Right, right.
I'm joking with you! Lighten up and brighten up.
Be a few extra quid in your pocket.
Come in handy with another mouth to feed.
Thanks.
Night, Chris.
Night.
Three days, no longer.
Gina! 'Posh Chinese on a Tuesday.
I'm spoiling you.
' It's cold.
I'll take that as a compliment.
Be a love and nuke it.
I don't want to go down downstairs, I'm cosy.
Don't make me walk around, I'll get sticky thighs.
You are a class bird.
Just try one of these.
I don't want a cold pork ball! You're ruining the moment.
What moment? This moment.
There we go.
Someone's fried a gift into me food.
What a brilliant surprise! Relax, it's not a proposal.
It's just a token of my affection.
You actually asked the chef to do this for you, didn't you? Not as straightforward as it looks.
Why? I mean, why? I thought it would be funny and romantic and Isn't it? I don't need a gift after every time we have sex.
Good job, or you'd almost be out of fingers.
Marcus, just stop, OK? What? Just stop for a minute.
I don't need this.
This doesn't make me happy.
It's just something else we have to do shitty jobs for.
Don't worry about money.
Don't ever say that.
What? Every time you say those words, something goes wrong for us.
Well, not this time.
Look, I promise you.
Not this time? There's someone I want you to meet.
That work? Yeah, yeah.
I have an interview next week.
What for? For the North West.
Regional manager slot.
Gordon put me up for it.
I don't know why.
Well, because he rates you.
Is that so hard to believe? No, I don't think he Well, I don't know.
Anyway, they want me to go up and see them, so, I'll go.
There'll be a lot of competition for it.
And if they offer it to you? They won't.
But if they do? I don't know, it's Well, would you? Could we? It's a big move and I don't even think the money's worth it.
You can never have too many new starts in life.
That you, Chris? Mum, this is Dita.
It is nice to meet you, Mrs Lebdon.
She talks funny.
Shall I do the vegetable gravy or the meat? Meat! I can do both.
No-one likes vegetarian gravy.
Where are you from? Krakow, Poland.
They don't have men back there? Someone want to come and lay the table for me? Dita and I have some news, Mum.
We're having a baby.
You're going to be a grandmother.
There nothing you want to say about that? Is it what you want? More than anything in the world.
Then I'm happy for you, son.
And I guess this means you'll be staying in the country.
I need some ice.
Dita! You know, if you had any balls, you'd smoke this in your own house.
My bollock size is not in question right now.
Does Gina know about this? Are you serious? Keep it that way.
You can get in on it if you're nice to me.
Whatever scam you're running is doomed to fail, so, no thank you.
Well what if I told you I had permission to walk out with as much as I could carry? Who's going to let you do that? My partners on the inside.
But Here we go It's dependent on me getting some outside help.
Yo we have an in.
A what? I've got a meeting with someone who can help us.
Have you told him that yet? It's not his business.
I thought we were doing this together.
He's useful to us, OK? That stuff about the other site closing, we need to know that shit.
Outside of these walls, he's not the boss.
You know that, don't you? Yeah, yeah, course.
It's not that I don't trust him, I don't think he's up to it.
He can think what he wants, but we know we're running this, right? What do you want out of life, John? I I want an opportunity to prove that I'm that I'm capable of managing my own region.
So does the other guy I'm interviewing.
What puts you above him? Well, I'm I think I have experience.
I've been managing my own site for nearly seven years.
Do your staff respect you? Well I think You think? Never think, John.
Seriously, never think, always know.
Sorry.
Stop apologising! It doesn't matter if you're wrong and the other guy's right, don't admit to a weakness.
They're aware of your experience, it's written in front of them.
What they don't know and desperately want to hear is how much you want this job.
They want to see you tear a man limb from limb just to get it.
Really, you think so? I know so.
You're a nice guy, John.
That's not going to do it for you.
You've got to take it for yourself.
I will.
No "ums", "ers", no hesitation.
Walk into that room with a belief you can do it, and don't leave until you succeed.
It's all in there, John.
I can see it.
It's just behind those eyes.
So, who is this guy again? Kalpesh? He's a mate.
Did a conversion for me, introduced me around.
Good business, he's well connected.
Paki? India, Pakistan, somewhere around there.
Just do me a favour, yeah? Anything.
Don't try and be funny.
My man.
How you doing? This the bloke you want killed? You what? I'm screwing with you, mate.
You boys are family, right? Close enough.
My sister's partner, Marcus.
He's nailing your sister? I've got three of them myself, I just can't stand the idea of it.
Hey, it's a good job she's ugly, I'm the best she'll get.
That any way to talk about your lady? It was a a joke.
I'll leave you boys to talk.
So, you have something I might want to see? What have you got there? 40K? Bang on.
And I can get a lot more of it, with a bit of help.
Let's go and assume I already know where you work.
When you say "more", how much more? I can get it all.
And that is? On a good night? .
.
up to 150 million.
No-one uses cash any more.
Doesn't make it worth any less.
You're a relatively wealthy man.
What do you want to talk to me about? I need someone to help me carry it out.
You want muscle? Yeah, in every sense of the word.
You have permission to walk in, take whatever you like, with no-one stopping you? Not exactly, but there will be a plan.
Fantastic.
So there will be a plan, will there? You don't have to worry about that, that's the beauty of it.
We can work out all the details and leave nothing to chance.
We? Now there's a "we".
I've got a lot of help on the inside.
Is this something we can talk more about, or not? Because I can leave now, if I'm out of order, no disrespect.
Let me take a proper look at this.
Make sure it is what it appears to be.
They're not fakes.
All the same, let me hold onto them for a bit.
If you want to establish trust, then you're going to have to make the first move.
You'll get it all back.
Look at me, it's my business.
Where am I going? We need a catch-up.
Not here.
I know that.
I've got a place.
An empty shop.
Just the usual, is it, sir? Here, I've pre-loaded each other's numbers.
Should make it easier to stay in touch.
Pink? Yeah, might encourage you not to leave it lying around.
So, where are we at? I had a meeting.
Indian guy by the name of Kalpesh.
Pretty much runs his own army.
And how did you find out about him? He was recommended.
By by who? Does it matter? Yes, yes it matters.
Because if he can be linked back to you Do you have someone else lined up? Cos if you do, then we'll go with that.
If not, then maybe you want to stick to your secret corporate e-mail shit and let us get on with the proper stuff.
Just tell him what he said.
That he can provide us with personnel.
Right.
And where's the money? I'll get it back.
Back? Back from where? He wanted to check it out, make sure it was genuine.
I'm sorry, what? You gave £40,000 of our money, to who? Someone with a criminal reputation that we don't know? He's giving it back.
When? Soon.
Well, great.
This is This is great.
If he said he'd give it back then So you met him too? No.
But apparently you trust him? What did I say about agreeing to this stuff beforehand? We need that money back.
No money, no me, no job, no plan.
I'll get it.
Tomorrow, no later.
Just call him for us, would ya? And say what? That I need to get it back.
Look, whatever you two talked about, agreed upon, exchanged, whatever, has nothing to do with me.
Don't drag me into your shit.
Well, can I trust him? No.
Great.
Good work, thanks, mate.
You asked me for an introduction and that's what I got you.
Do I trust him? No.
Should you trust him? No.
I thought that was a given.
If he's done you over, sorry, not my problem.
What, you scared of him, or something? No, he won't hurt anyone.
But he has people who will.
You been out here waiting for me? I didn't want to go inside.
I didn't know if I should.
What do you want? I need it back.
Need what back? Come on, you know what.
I don't have a clue.
This wasn't the deal.
You'd better not be following me.
You can trust me.
I see you out here again, someone's going to come down.
You clear on that, Marcus? What does he expect me to do? Kneecap the bloke? If it's all going to go wrong, better now than down the line.
It's not going wrong! We're going to have to be patient, that's all.
The money's not there, the boss is going to have to find a way to cover it.
It can't all be down to us.
Then, tell him that.
Stammering prick.
You know he had to adopt a kid because he didn't have the batter to make one himself? I got some news.
Didn't just find 40 grand under the table, did ya? Dita and I we're having a baby.
Shit, really? Yeah, really.
Nice one, mate.
Well done.
Haven't really told anyone yet.
Just family.
And everything's good? Everything's healthy? Far as we know.
I mean, it's tiny, just a little You know, when we went to have the scan When do we get audited next? Is it Friday? We've got until Friday, at least.
You'd better hope you don't hit traffic.
When have I ever been late for anything? Hang on, wait.
A job interview requires a Windsor knot.
Shows you take care and pay attention to smaller details.
Yeah, I don't think the tie will swing it for me.
You can get this job.
If you want it badly enough, you can get it.
You sound like Gordon.
Well, we both know what you're capable of.
Knock 'em dead.
Yep.
Yep, that's the plan.
Just leave the talking to me.
No.
You don't say a bloody word.
Anyone offered you gentlemen coffee? We declined.
So this is the gang, is it? The three desperados.
The grunt, the security guard and you, sunshine, are wearing the suit of a pen pusher.
You have £40,000 of our money.
Your money? It's ours if I say it's ours.
As I understand it, you've got a guaranteed 150 million coming your way.
I'm a little surprised to see you turn up mob-handed for just 40K.
Yeah, I don't think I don't believe the situation was explained to you properly.
I wondered if that were the case.
We have an opportunity.
And right now, it's little more than that.
But without that money that opportunity slips away.
Why didn't you come to me in the first place? Why send him? We had some leadership issues, but that's all straightened out now.
Now I know who I'm really dealing with let's pretend I'm interested.
What's the plan? It's relatively simple.
You kidnap me.
You force me to get past security.
You terrorise everything in your path.
If all goes well, you don't kill anyone.
20 minutes later, you drive away with everything.
You and I divide it down the middle.
How we pay our respective teams is our business.
What are these two going to be doing? He'll be opening doors, avoiding alarms.
He'll be holding a gun to my wife's head.
You have weapons? No.
A van to drive it away in? Preferably a lorry, and no.
Are those items you can obtain for us? I can get it if I need it.
Then, do so.
When you're ready, show me.
Sounds like I could almost do this without you.
No.
No, you couldn't.
Start with the guns.
I want to see them.
How do I contact you? Well, I guess that's where he becomes useful.
Nice to meet you, Kalpesh.
You too.
John.
Where did that come from? You don't know anything about me.
I've got a question.
When did we agree on any of that? There's only one way we can get that much money out.
It's old-fashioned but it works.
Will the guns be loaded? Of course.
And the one I'm holding to your old lady's head? We have to come out the other side of this as victims.
It's the only way.
Would I rather one of his people hold my family hostage? No.
Get that in the vault.
Today.
I can do that.
You need to do less, Marcus.
And you? You need to contribute something.
Get the bus to work.
I'll see you, but not talk to you, tomorrow.
Can't you drop us somewhere? I've a job interview in Liverpool.
What do you want to work in Liverpool for? I don't.
Ready? One, two, three.
Just here.
You know what I'm thinking? Do I want to? It's too much.
Why waste time loading what you don't need? He wants it all.
Why? I don't get it.
Why not play it safe and just get enough? Did you see him this morning? Yeah.
Course I saw him.
He was Well, he was good.
And you can't do that.
And that's why, from now on, I'm listening to him.
Gordon had some nice things to say about you, John.
I'm sure he was just being kind.
He mentioned the modesty, too.
He believes you're very capable.
And we love Gordon.
He's hilarious.
Yeah.
Everybody loves Gordon.
He all but told us we'd be mad not to give you the position.
Well, that's that's very flattering.
And very Gordon.
So let's hear it.
Wow us.
Tell us why Gordon believes in you.
OK Well, I I'm sorry, I I think I have I have g-g-good Take your time, John.
Sorry, c-could I have could I have a glass of water, please? Apparently I need a key for the car park.
Just a second, sir.
There we are.
Thank you.
How'd it go? What, they said "no" or they? They didn't exactly have to.
You're a pessimist.
Maybe they liked you a lot more than you think.
I screwed up.
I mean, I I could hardly get a word out.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
It doesn't matter.
It's not something we need.
It's Liverpool.
We're here.
We're happy.
We're a family.
That's enough, isn't it? Put her back in her room.
Sleep in here tonight.
Gina? Shit.
Can we talk? Wait your turn.
They've got some noodles if you want one.
I'm sorry? Noodles.
The floaty things.
Right! Thanks.
This is our first time.
For a first-timer, she's good.
Yeah.
Nice-looking girl you've got there, son.
Dad this is Dita.
Hello, Mr Lebdon.
Sidney.
Sid.
If he's bringing you here, then he's got something he really wants to tell me.
We're having a baby.
Everyone! listen up.
I'm going to be a grandad! Welcome to the family, love.
Sorry it's a bit of a car crash.
Look at you? You are mine? When you took that job I knew we'd end up talking about this.
I'm that predictable? To me.
Nothing's decided yet.
It's just an idea.
Your idea? Not entirely.
Good.
Maybe someone else can think it through properly.
You're not angry with me? This is like everything else.
It doesn't matter what I say, what warnings I give you, if you want to do it you'll find a way.
It could change our lives.
Whatever the outcome, that's guaranteed.
Talk to me, will ya? I'm talking to you.
You're waiting to hear what you want to hear.
And what's that? That I support you.
That I what? Believe in you? And don't you? I think in your head you see things play out and nothing ever goes wrong.
And that's you.
That's what's so infectious about you.
But something always does go wrong.
Something you do.
Something you forget to consider.
You think I'm a loser.
I don't have to believe in you to love you.
But this time this time things are going to be different.
This time you're going to run it all past me.
Step by step, every choice, every decision.
I'm not going to let you screw this up.
That's it.
Powerful kicks.
Lovely.
Not far to go.
Kick your legs.
Good.
He is like you are.
My dad? No.
Yeah.
He is quiet and strong.
Do you know why he's in there? Do you want to know why? He hurt people.
Who? Anyone.
Anyone he was asked to hurt.
Then, for money? Sometimes for money.
Sometimes just for good old-fashioned pride.
But I'm not like him.
I don't want to be like him.
Underneath it all, I know he's a good man.
My dad never said "no" to anyone.
You've forgotten your towel.
Hurry up.
In you go.
Get yourself dry.
Put your wet things in the bag, all right? I'll just be out here.
I'm sorry.
What was that? I said I'm sorry.
I bumped into YOU.
Why are you sorry? Look, it was an accident.
You often apologise when you've done nothing wrong? That the sort of man you are? I don't know what your problem is No, there's no problem here.
I'm not the pussy backing down, am I? 'The name we're being given is Christopher Lebdon, 'a 31-year-old security guard who was working the night shift when the robbery took place.
' 'His condition is said to be critical.
'It's understood he has been working at Larson House for several years 'and is being described as a valued employee 'who kept himself to himself.
'The details surrounding the robbery ' I'm going to get some newspapers.
They won't print it until tomorrow.
Good.
Maybe there's something else going on in the country.
Just five minutes.
I swear.
OK.
'This morning Larson House is still cordoned off and remains a major crime scene.
' I'm just going to reception and back, OK? OK.
You can see him.
He's awake.
You go.
I'll stay with Dita.
What happened with Christopher? One of your boys got carried away.
Is it going to be a problem? Only if he lives.
It's there for you when you're ready.
I've enjoyed this, John.
Me too.
Good luck out there.
Excuse me, do you have any newspapers left, please? Yes, one moment, sir.
John? Gordon.
Gord, thank God.
Kirsty said that you she said you came by.
Are you OK, buddy? Well, no, no.
Well, I-I-I don't know, really.
Gordon, I am so, so sorry.
For what? Well, for letting them, you know, letting letting them do it.
I didn't I didn't stand up to 'em.
None of us did.
We couldn't.
It's the shock, that's all this is.
I just couldn't stop them, Gordon.
I was just so scared and I just You're all right.
I just c-c-couldn't.
You're all right, John.
Hey.
How much did we get? 'Two weeks and they haven't come up with anything.
They won't go anywhere till they get him.
' He was supposed to make contact but so far he hasn't.
Feeling betrayed? It wasn't meant to go like this.
'Obviously, someone had a different idea.
'I'm a suspect, don't hassle me.
'Charges are expected 'in this multi-million-pound robbery some time tomorrow.
' The plan's gone.
There's no point in both of us staying here.
I don't wanna leave you.
Whatever you got, was it worth losing this? I always knew it wouldn't be.
