I'm looking for Alice.

-She's not here.

-She is.

-No. I told you.

-It's all right, Sean.

-When did you get back?

-Late.

You rip her off?

Thanks.

-Who is she?

-Just let her in, Sean.

They're very Serious people, Alice.

And they want it back.

Every penny you've borrowed.

-When?

-Tomorrow.

-SCOFFS:

-How can I do that?

I've already given you everything I had this week.

I can't get any more.

Get them on your side.

What do you mean? How do you do that?

Do something for them, a small job. Something easy.

Do it well, Alice, and you never know.

Have you ever been to Amsterdam?

It's really lovely.

They need something picking up.

Something small.

Nothing to worry about.

You could go tomorrow morning.

I think if you did that

they would look upon your situation very differently.

-What was she asking you to do?

-Don't.

-How much do you owe?

-Stop it.

-How much does she owe you?

-A lot.

-Please stop it, Sean.

-Think about what I said, Alice.

It won't be me next time.

You do realise that, don't you?

DOOR CLOSES

-Fuck's sake, Alice. I told you.

-Told me what?

Told you to stop spending money you don't have.

How much do you owe? Tell me.

-Stop it.

-No. No, Alice!

-How much?

-I'm not a child, Sean!

Maybe you should stop acting like one. How fucking much?

Why do you want to know?

Do you understand what she was talking about?

Or what she actually wants you to do? It's not a game, Alice.

You know, she's not kidding. She fucking meant it!

How much? Fucking tell me, Alice! How much?!

£8,000.

And the credit card bill?

SIGHS

You owe...£12,000.

SOBS

Oh, shit.

I tried to pay it back. They just kept giving me more money.

Said it was no problem, no hassle,

that I could take my time paying it back.

And now this.

Oh, Sean.

CRIES

Think about what Mum would have done...

then do the opposite.

You're not going to Amsterdam, Alice.

No way.

You. You're late.

Come with me.

Keep this place sparkling clean and keep your mouth shut.

I'll be back to check.

Remember, I've got a hundred Poles who want this job,

and they're cheaper.

I thought I was here to be a waiter.

Hello, Sean.

What?

We only need a few minutes of your time.

We're here to make a proposal, an offer.

-He looks worried.

-Don't be. It's very simple.

We want to play a game.

We offer you this. £1,000.

And then this.

It opens a safety deposit box

in a train station which opens at 9:00 tomorrow morning.

In there is another £11,000.

-Which could be yours.

-That's right, Sean. Yours.

All you have to do is hide from 9pm tonight.

What do you mean, hide?

-You hide...

-We seek.

-And if we don't find you...

-Then you get to keep it.

-All of it. No strings attached.

-It's yours.

You'll never see us again.

But if we do find you in those 12 hours, then all you have to do...

Is give the money and the key back.

What is this? Who are you? I don't understand.

Take this number.

But you must call before 9:00 tonight.

£12,000, Sean.

-That's a lot of money.

-Could clear a lot of debt.

Get someone out of trouble. CLEARS THROAT

MAN: I'm sure I had it When I came in.

I took it off, hung it up there and I went in there.

-Have you seen it?

-Seen what?

A cigarette case.

No use asking him. He was asleep when I came in.

Now, the case itself is worthless, but my wife gave it to me years ago.

I'm really sorry about this. I, er, maybe left it in the taxi.

Why don't you sit back at your table

and I'll have one last look here?

Thank you.

What?

-Empty your pockets.

I'm here. I've got the documents.

-Can I go and have a look?

-I'm sorry.

Like I said before, there's nobody here. They would have passed me.

What, even if they were working all night?

I don't think there was anyone working late last night.

Cos, er, you'd have seen them on your rounds, right?

Right.

Look, between you and me,

I don't give a shit.

I get paid anyway.

But if he's up there, and he doesn't get these documents,

and I tell him why,

whoa, you can imagine what might happen, eh?

Just wait here. I'll go check upstairs.

Sure.

Wake me up if I fall asleep, yeah?

THUD!

Everything OK there, sir?

Sure.

There's something hanging out of there.

Looks like a shirt or something.

The boot.

-'..resulting in the two-step inflationary boom

'and a one-step deflationary buzz that we've grown accustomed to.

'But mild can turn wild when the systems get out of control.'

SHOWER RUNS

'Out-of-control inflation is when the Fed lends trillions of exchange units

You hunted them and you killed them.

Let's, er...let's talk about it.

Do a deal. What do you think?

Put the gun down

and step away from me.

How much do you need?

Why did you do that to my sister?

Oh, I can give you more money than you ever dreamed of.

I can do that quickly.

I need to know.

It doesn't matter now.

Oh, no, it does.

It really does.

Do we have a deal?

If you tell me.

I did it because...

And that was it? No other reason?

Do...the...deal.

SONG: # Half the kids That you grew up with

# Were pushing prams by the time that they were just 16

# If love is a drug then where is the cure

# For the girl who used to talk to you about her dream?

# And all the boys with all their toys

# Couldn't see the signs as we scorched out eyes with nicotine

# And the grown-up said Listen to your heads

# But our hearts were crying out for heroes on TV screens

# Now this song is about you

# Now this song is about

# Changes in your mind

# Changes in your life

# Changes in the times

# And the reason you can't sleep at night

# Changes in your mind

# Changes in your life

# Changes in the times

# And the reason you gave up the fight... #

-SAM:

-It's all there.

I didn't touch a penny.

Alice is at the hospital.

She's going to be OK.

I spoke to her.

I didn't know, Sean.

They gave me some money. told me it was a game.

I didn't know they were going to do that.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.
