1. The following is my explanation.Copy !req
2. Well...Copy !req
3. more of an account
of what happened.Copy !req
4. I'd been on my own
for a while...Copy !req
5. and getting kind of...Copy !req
6. lonely and bored.Copy !req
7. Nothing to do all day.Copy !req
8. And that's when
I started shadowing.Copy !req
9. "Shadowing"?Copy !req
10. Shadowing. Following.
I started to follow people.Copy !req
11. - Who?
- Anyone at first. Um —Copy !req
12. I mean, that was the whole point.
Somebody at random.Copy !req
13. Somebody who didn't know
who I was.Copy !req
14. And then?Copy !req
15. - And then... nothing.
- "Nothing"?Copy !req
16. Nothing. I'd just see...Copy !req
17. where they went, what they did...Copy !req
18. and go home afterwards.Copy !req
19. Why'd you do it?Copy !req
20. Um, to see where they went.Copy !req
21. Anyone — I mean —Copy !req
22. How can I explain?
You ever, um...Copy !req
23. been to a football match,
just let your eyes...Copy !req
24. go over, drift across
a crowd of people...Copy !req
25. and they slowly stop
and fix on one person...Copy !req
26. and all of a sudden that person
isn't part of the crowd anymore?Copy !req
27. They've become an individual,
just like that.Copy !req
28. - It just became irresistible.Copy !req
29. - So you followed women?
- No, I didn't follow women.Copy !req
30. It wasn't a sex thing.
I followed anybody.Copy !req
31. I just wanted to see
where they went and what they did.Copy !req
32. You were playing secret agent?Copy !req
33. No, I'm a writer.Copy !req
34. Well, I want to be a writer, anyway.Copy !req
35. I was gathering material
for my characters.Copy !req
36. Well, to begin with.Copy !req
37. After a while,
I spotted the dangers.Copy !req
38. I'd become hooked.
I had to start making up rules...Copy !req
39. to just try
and keep it under control.Copy !req
40. "Never follow people for too long."Copy !req
41. "Don't follow women
down dark alleys after dark."Copy !req
42. You know, stuff like that.Copy !req
43. It was supposed
to just be completely random.Copy !req
44. And when it stopped being random...Copy !req
45. that's when it started to go wrong.Copy !req
46. When I started to follow people...Copy !req
47. specific people, when I selected...Copy !req
48. a person to follow...Copy !req
49. that was when the trouble started.Copy !req
50. Other people are interesting to me.
Have you never...Copy !req
51. listened to other people's
conversations on the bus...Copy !req
52. or on the Tube, seen people,
somebody on the street...Copy !req
53. that looks interesting
or is behaving...Copy !req
54. slightly... oddly or something
like that and wondered...Copy !req
55. what their lives involved,
what they do...Copy !req
56. where they come from,
where they go to?Copy !req
57. You watch somebody's behavior,
and it raises...Copy !req
58. a hundred thousand questions...Copy !req
59. and I wanted to ask
those questions...Copy !req
60. and I wanted to know
what the answers were.Copy !req
61. And so I'd follow people
to try and find out.Copy !req
62. The most important rule was...Copy !req
63. that even if I found out where
somebody worked or where they lived...Copy !req
64. then you would never follow
the same person twice.Copy !req
65. That was the most important rule.Copy !req
66. That was the one that I broke first.Copy !req
67. Yes?Copy !req
68. - Uh, coffee, please.
- Come on. It's lunch.Copy !req
69. Uh, toasted cheese sandwich as well.Copy !req
70. Mind if I join you?Copy !req
71. Who and why?Copy !req
72. Hi. Yeah, um, I'll have
a black coffee please, and —Copy !req
73. What's that?Copy !req
74. Another coffee, black.Copy !req
75. You're obviously not a policeman,
so who are you and why are you following me?Copy !req
76. I'm sorry. I don't know
what you're talking about.Copy !req
77. Don't piss me about.
Who the fuck are you?Copy !req
78. Oh, thank you very much.Copy !req
79. Sugar?Copy !req
80. No, I wasn't —
I wasn't following you.Copy !req
81. I — I —
I saw you with your bag.Copy !req
82. I just thought
you looked interesting.Copy !req
83. - What are you, a faggot?
- No, no.Copy !req
84. Okay, to tell you the truth,
I thought you were this guy...Copy !req
85. that I was at school with.Copy !req
86. I saw you walk in here,
so I followed you in just to see if it was him.Copy !req
87. - But it wasn't.
- Why didn't you ask me when you saw me?Copy !req
88. 'Cause I'd have been embarrassed
if it wasn't the person.Copy !req
89. Not as embarrassed
as you are now.Copy !req
90. - No, I suppose not.
- What's your name?Copy !req
91. Bill.Copy !req
92. Well, Bill, what do you do?Copy !req
93. - Actually, I'm kind of —
- Between jobs right now. Yeah.Copy !req
94. - Yeah. That's right.
- What would you do?Copy !req
95. - Don't know.
- Oh, come on, Bill.Copy !req
96. Don't be coy. There's some burning
ambition inside you, isn't there?Copy !req
97. There's something
of the starving artist in you, no?Copy !req
98. - No. No.
- No?Copy !req
99. - You're a painter.
- No.
- Photos.Copy !req
100. - No.
- Writer.
- No.Copy !req
101. - Writer, eh?
- No.Copy !req
102. - But you write.
- Not much.Copy !req
103. - But sometimes.
- Sometimes. Who doesn't?Copy !req
104. Me.Copy !req
105. - So you're a writer.
- I didn't say that.Copy !req
106. What makes you think
I'm a writer, anyway?Copy !req
107. An unemployed 20-something...Copy !req
108. who fancies himself a writer —
a real leap into the unknown.Copy !req
109. - Well, I'm not a writer.
- But you're interested in people.Copy !req
110. - Yeah.
- This person.Copy !req
111. Perhaps.Copy !req
112. You haven't even
asked me my name yet...Copy !req
113. - What's your name?
- or what's in my bag.Copy !req
114. - What bag?
- My bag.Copy !req
115. The one you've been
looking at all morning.Copy !req
116. What's your name,
and what's in your bag?Copy !req
117. My name's Cobb.Copy !req
118. Take a look for yourself.Copy !req
119. What were you expecting?
Drugs?Copy !req
120. Why would you nick their old CDs?Copy !req
121. Easy to grab a load. Easy to sell.
Totally untraceable.Copy !req
122. The other stuff's a bit more tricky.Copy !req
123. You don't look like a burglar.Copy !req
124. Sounds like a compliment.Copy !req
125. Are you interested now?Copy !req
126. Gloves.Copy !req
127. - People don't really do that, do they?
- You'd be surprised.Copy !req
128. Does that really work?Copy !req
129. Wait and see.Copy !req
130. Beginner's luck.Copy !req
131. See? Nobody home.Copy !req
132. Okay, first things first.
We need a bag.Copy !req
133. A bag?Copy !req
134. To carry the stuff in.
Why are you whispering?Copy !req
135. - Don't you have one of your own?
- Yeah, it's a big bag
with "swag" written right across it.Copy !req
136. Ah, bingo.Copy !req
137. Okay. What do you fancy?Copy !req
138. - Nothing here of any value.
- You don't seem that concerned.Copy !req
139. - I don't do it for the money.
- Why do you do it?Copy !req
140. For the adrenaline. And because,
like you, I'm interested in people.Copy !req
141. You can tell a lot about people
from their stuff.Copy !req
142. - How old would you say these people are?
- Don't know.Copy !req
143. You can tell a lot from the futon, for a start.
Young people have futons.Copy !req
144. Most people wouldn't be
anywhere near 40 with a futon.Copy !req
145. And they've got one laundry bag,
which means...Copy !req
146. they're probably very used
to each other.Copy !req
147. - Probably about 25, over.
- They could be 20 and have been
living together for years.Copy !req
148. Nah. No, look at the books.
They're college-educated.Copy !req
149. Probably graduated
when they were 21 or 22.Copy !req
150. Moved in together in the last year.Copy !req
151. You can tell more from the music.Copy !req
152. And here is the box.Copy !req
153. - What box?
- Everyone has a box.Copy !req
154. With men, it's usually a shoebox.Copy !req
155. - Are there valuables in it?
- No. More interesting, more personal.Copy !req
156. Things like snapshots, letters...Copy !req
157. or trinkets from a Christmas cracker.Copy !req
158. See?Copy !req
159. Envelope, photo...Copy !req
160. little calling cards, notes.Copy !req
161. A sort of unconscious collection.
A display.Copy !req
162. - What do you mean, "display"?
- Well, display.Copy !req
163. Each thing tells something
very intimate about the people.Copy !req
164. We're very privileged to see it.
It's very rare.Copy !req
165. Hey, hey, hey, hey!
What the —Copy !req
166. What the hell'd you do that for?Copy !req
167. It's like a diary.Copy !req
168. They hide it, but actually they want
someone to see it. That's what I do.Copy !req
169. Concealment, display —
flip sides of the same coin.Copy !req
170. This way they know
that someone's seen it.Copy !req
171. That's what it's all about —
interrupting someone's life...Copy !req
172. making them see all the things
they took for granted.Copy !req
173. Like when they go back and buy
all this stuff from the shelves...Copy !req
174. with the insurance money,
they'll have to think...Copy !req
175. for the first time in a long time...Copy !req
176. why they wanted all this stuff,
what it's for.Copy !req
177. You take it away...Copy !req
178. and show them what they had.Copy !req
179. Saucy, eh?
Found these in the last flat.Copy !req
180. Think I'll just give them
something to chat about.Copy !req
181. - Why would you do that?
- She'll find them in his trousers
and ask him what he's been doing.Copy !req
182. Yeah, but why would you want
to fuck up their relationship?Copy !req
183. Don't you listen?
You take it away...Copy !req
184. and show them what they had.Copy !req
185. - Fancy a drink?
- You've gotta be joking.Copy !req
186. Oh, don't be fooled
by the supermarket label.Copy !req
187. I seem to remember I've had this before,
and it was actually quite good.Copy !req
188. You'd have had a bit of difficulty
doing this with your gloves on.Copy !req
189. - So we actually gonna take anything?
- Anything your heart desires.Copy !req
190. Although that's not really the point, is it?
I mean, it's just work.Copy !req
191. I thought the whole point of burglary
was taking things.Copy !req
192. No, this is the point — breaking in,
entering someone's life...Copy !req
193. finding out who they really are.Copy !req
194. I mean, don't you just feel it?
Standing here...Copy !req
195. drinking their wine —
people we'll never even meet.Copy !req
196. Would you like a drink?
I've got some wine.Copy !req
197. - Holy f—
- Shh!Copy !req
198. - You startled us! Are you from the agency,
or are you viewing like us?
- What are you doing in my flat?Copy !req
199. - Didn't the agent tell you
we'd be here this afternoon?
- But we're not moving.Copy !req
200. You must be the man of the house.
Congratulations. You have a very nice home.Copy !req
201. - But we're not moving.
- Really?Copy !req
202. Oh, then I should check
with the agent then, love.Copy !req
203. Bye.Copy !req
204. Shit. We shouldn't have come up here.
We're gonna have to wait ages to get down.Copy !req
205. There's a way up here.Copy !req
206. Jesus Christ!
Do you think they believed you?Copy !req
207. Of course they didn't
fucking believe me.Copy !req
208. What the hell
do you think you were doing?Copy !req
209. - I caught them on the hop.
We surprised them.
- How do you mean?Copy !req
210. That bloke wasn't her boyfriend.
Why do you think he didn't say anything?Copy !req
211. No, she was up to no good, and she was
probably glad we weren't her boyfriend.Copy !req
212. - You reckon?
- Definitely. Why else would she be home...Copy !req
213. in the middle of the afternoon?Copy !req
214. No, you just can't plan
for that kind of fucking shit.Copy !req
215. We were unlucky.
Don't worry about it. It won't happen again.Copy !req
216. - Yeah, well, I'm not so sure.
- Oh, yeah?Copy !req
217. Well, next time you can do
the fucking prep work.Copy !req
218. - No, no, I didn't mean —
- No, I mean it.Copy !req
219. Take your mark, check it out...Copy !req
220. for days, months, years, whatever.Copy !req
221. - It'll be the next place we hit.
- Yeah, all right.Copy !req
222. - Tell you what.
- What?Copy !req
223. I feel bad about pulling
the panty routine on that bloke.Copy !req
224. She's gonna give him loads of shit,
and she's the one fooling around.Copy !req
225. A beer, please.Copy !req
226. - Buy you a drink?
- Yeah.Copy !req
227. - But you can't sleep with me.
- Why is that?Copy !req
228. 'Cause I'm with the guy over there.Copy !req
229. - Not that bald one.Copy !req
230. He'll let you buy me a drink,
but sex is completely out of the question.Copy !req
231. - Still want to buy me that drink?
- No.Copy !req
232. - So what's a nice girl like you...
- Doing in a place like this.Copy !req
233. doing with a bald old cunt like that?Copy !req
234. It's a long story. And keep your voice down,
'cause he does own this place.Copy !req
235. I was trying to get your attention.Copy !req
236. My name's Daniel Lloyd.
My friends call me Danny.Copy !req
237. So?Copy !req
238. So you've obviously had a bad day...Copy !req
239. the kind that makes you feel like
everybody's out for their pound of flesh.Copy !req
240. Yeah.Copy !req
241. I've been having
quite a lot of days like that.Copy !req
242. - Say something to me.
- Like what?Copy !req
243. I'll see you outside in ten minutes.Copy !req
244. - Oh, I'm sorry. It just —
- Just came apart in your hands.Copy !req
245. - It did, actually.
- Yeah, I know. It was broken already.Copy !req
246. It's all right.
Somebody dropped it.Copy !req
247. I've been meaning to fix it...Copy !req
248. but, uh...Copy !req
249. I'll probably never get around to it.Copy !req
250. So take a seat.
Make yourself at home.Copy !req
251. - So about you and this bald guy, then.
- What about him?Copy !req
252. - Going out with him?
- Not exactly.Copy !req
253. But you and him have
something going.Copy !req
254. We used to go out with each other,
but that's been over for a long time.Copy !req
255. So why did you tell me
you were with him?Copy !req
256. - To get rid of you.Copy !req
257. So why, when you agreed to have
a drink with me, did we have to come here?Copy !req
258. He still gets jealous, and, uh...Copy !req
259. - I didn't feel like going back to my place.
- Why not?Copy !req
260. I got burgled yesterday.Copy !req
261. What's it feel like, being broken into?Copy !req
262. Most people ask,
"What did they take?"Copy !req
263. I'm curious about the way people feel.Copy !req
264. I'm a writer.Copy !req
265. Gosh.Copy !req
266. - So?
- So?Copy !req
267. - So how'd it feel?
- Great.Copy !req
268. Sorry.Copy !req
269. So this bald guy —
he's dangerous, is he?Copy !req
270. - Christ, you are a nosy bastard.
- Dangerous like how?Copy !req
271. Dangerous like
criminal-type dangerous.Copy !req
272. Dangerous like
"involved in bad things" type dangerous.Copy !req
273. - What sort of bad things?
- The usual.Copy !req
274. - Girls, drugs, magazines.
- Magazines?Copy !req
275. And films. Pornography.
And he owns a couple of clubs.Copy !req
276. - Wealthy type?
- Yes.Copy !req
277. And refined.Copy !req
278. Took me a long time to realize
the kind of things he was capable of.Copy !req
279. And what sort of things are they?Copy !req
280. Perhaps another time.Copy !req
281. I really think I should be going.Copy !req
282. - Yeah?Copy !req
283. - It's me — Bill.
- What the fuck do you want?Copy !req
284. - Advice.
- On what?Copy !req
285. - On a job.
- What fucking job?Copy !req
286. - The job that I told you about.
- Not interested.Copy !req
287. Yeah, I know that.
I'm gonna do it myself.Copy !req
288. Wanna know something
about protection.Copy !req
289. - "Protection"?
- Yeah. You know...Copy !req
290. self-defense, weapons,
stuff like that.Copy !req
291. Surprisingly enough, I thought
you might be able to give me some advice.Copy !req
292. Steel whip.
Nunchucks, they're all right.Copy !req
293. Tools are good — sharpened
screwdriver, hammer, chisel —Copy !req
294. - "Hammer"?
- Yeah. Medium size. Good rubber grip.Copy !req
295. It's very nasty. If you get a claw hammer,
you can pry doors with it.Copy !req
296. Slip it into the back
of your waistband, you're set.Copy !req
297. - You still there?Copy !req
298. Why don't you get some of these,
for chrissake?Copy !req
299. - Where did you get them?
- Stole them from Middlesex Hospital.Copy !req
300. You can't buy them.Copy !req
301. Bin-fucking-go.Copy !req
302. Okay. You get the bag.
I'll check out the stuff.Copy !req
303. - I got one.
- Oh, that's good.Copy !req
304. - May not need it, though.
There's fuck-all here.
- Really?Copy !req
305. - Well, what about the telly?
- It's fucking useless.Copy !req
306. What are we, burglars or vandals?Copy !req
307. Well, if you're a burglar,
why don't you start burgling?Copy !req
308. Uh, what about the tapes?Copy !req
309. - Not much of a collection,
and it's a bit personal.
- What do you mean?Copy !req
310. Not the stuff you'd play to your dinner
party guests to fill in gaps in conversation.Copy !req
311. - What sort of music's that?
- I don't know. Simply Red,
Fleetwood Mac, that kind of shit.Copy !req
312. - He's got taste.
- Each to his own...Copy !req
313. but he's a sad fucker
with no social life.Copy !req
314. - Ooh. Nice machine.
- Maybe he's a writer.Copy !req
315. Nah. If he was a writer,
he'd have a word processor.Copy !req
316. This guy wants to be a writer,
and those are two totally separate things.Copy !req
317. - You checked this out?
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
318. - You watched him go to work?
You saw his routine?
- Yeah.Copy !req
319. - What's his job?
- He works in a bank.Copy !req
320. This guy's unemployed.Copy !req
321. - No, he's not.
- Look at the desk. He's unemployed.Copy !req
322. People who have jobs don't have
this fucking shit in their homes.Copy !req
323. He's either unemployed
or is a student...Copy !req
324. which means he could be back
any fucking second. What the fuck is that?Copy !req
325. I mean, you should recognize
the dole, boy. His fucking UB40!Copy !req
326. You fucking asshole! You didn't
check this out at all. We're going now.Copy !req
327. We're not gonna take anything?Copy !req
328. No, we're not.
I don't feel like scrounging off...Copy !req
329. some poor dole-head fucker —
no offense.Copy !req
330. None taken.Copy !req
331. Let's go to someplace
I've checked out.Copy !req
332. Hi. Make yourself at home.
I'll be down in just a minute.Copy !req
333. - Nice place.
- Thanks.Copy !req
334. Feel a bit funny about it,
you know, since...Copy !req
335. someone's been going through my stuff.
It's sort of creepy.Copy !req
336. What'd they take?Copy !req
337. Books, my camera, CDs.Copy !req
338. They even took a bag
from my cupboard to take it away in.Copy !req
339. - Apparently that's pretty standard.
- Must be terrible, losing all that stuff.Copy !req
340. Insurance will cover most of it.
It's personal stuff that's worse.Copy !req
341. "Personal stuff"? Like what?Copy !req
342. They, um,
rifled through my underwear.Copy !req
343. Shit. Why would they do that?Copy !req
344. Come on. You know the kind of kinky,
voyeuristic shit men get into.Copy !req
345. No, I'm sorry.
I'm not into any of that.Copy !req
346. One other thing they did was
they took one of my earrings.Copy !req
347. The didn't take the pair, they just took one,
just to really fuck me off.Copy !req
348. You probably misplaced
the other one or something.Copy !req
349. Oh, no. I mean,
I had them on my dresser.Copy !req
350. I came back,
and there was just one.Copy !req
351. - So you just wear the other one now.
- Gives me something to talk about.Copy !req
352. I'll, uh —
I'll go and get some clothes on.Copy !req
353. Bill?Copy !req
354. - Saucy, eh?Copy !req
355. You haven't found a bag yet?Copy !req
356. - Is this her flat?
- Yeah. She's a fox.Copy !req
357. She's got pictures
of herself everywhere.Copy !req
358. Yeah. She looks good.Copy !req
359. Look at this stuff.Copy !req
360. - You should take some of this stuff.
- No way.Copy !req
361. Suit yourself.
I'm gonna take some, though.Copy !req
362. Look at her. She's a babe.Copy !req
363. Bingo.Copy !req
364. Why does she have
so many pictures of herself?Copy !req
365. I think she's a model.
She's certainly vain.Copy !req
366. Is that about it?Copy !req
367. Yeah, I guess
that covers the useful stuff.Copy !req
368. Stereo's too big.Copy !req
369. Piano definitely too big.
I think...Copy !req
370. I'll just misplace this for her.Copy !req
371. - What is this place?
- Used to be offices.Copy !req
372. - How'd you get the keys?
- Broke in, changed the locks.Copy !req
373. It's owned by one of those
management places, you know?Copy !req
374. They never come around, and if they do,
they'll just think they've mixed up their keys.Copy !req
375. Eventually they'll break in and change
the locks, but I'll be long gone by then.Copy !req
376. London's full of these dead spaces.Copy !req
377. Above restaurants or shops.
Whole buildings.Copy !req
378. - Do we leave the stuff here?
- No, that's your job.Copy !req
379. You hang on to it till I let you know
we're ready to fence it.Copy !req
380. - Okay.
- Unless...Copy !req
381. you want to try to sell it yourself
and give me half of what you get.Copy !req
382. I wouldn't know
what to do with it.Copy !req
383. Look, I was hard on you
on that last place...Copy !req
384. but you've got to understand:
I won't let anybody put me at risk.Copy !req
385. - It's dangerous enough already.
- Sure.Copy !req
386. - An early supper, I think.
- I really can't afford it.Copy !req
387. - It's covered.
- Yeah?Copy !req
388. Okay.Copy !req
389. Authentic, I don't know,
but I like it.Copy !req
390. So you keep on coming in here?Copy !req
391. - I know. I like it, but —
- Why, I don't know.Copy !req
392. No, I do know why.Copy !req
393. - Why?
- Well, because there's no windows...Copy !req
394. and because it's dark, and nobody
can see you in the alcoves...Copy !req
395. and so perhaps the bald guy
wouldn't come past.Copy !req
396. - Maybe.
- Maybe. Maybe this is where you bringCopy !req
397. all the guys you go out with,
because you know that he's...Copy !req
398. not just gonna be walking by,
popping in.Copy !req
399. - Maybe.
- Maybe, yeah.Copy !req
400. I thought it was over
between you two.Copy !req
401. It is.Copy !req
402. So how come you still go
to basement bars, then...Copy !req
403. so that you can't be seen by him?Copy !req
404. - Because, as I've told you before —
- Because you're afraid of him,'cause he's —Copy !req
405. - Because he's dangerous.
- Dangerous.Copy !req
406. Dangerous — How-How dangerous?
You keep on saying he's dangerous.Copy !req
407. You never explain to me...Copy !req
408. why you're so afraid of him.Copy !req
409. Okay.Copy !req
410. He came around to my flat...Copy !req
411. with a couple of his associates...Copy !req
412. and... I didn't really know
what all this was about...Copy !req
413. until this other guy arrived...Copy !req
414. who apparently owed them
some money.Copy !req
415. They didn't like this very much,
so they got a hammer.Copy !req
416. They held him down, and they smashed
every single one of his fingers.Copy !req
417. And then they smashed his skull.Copy !req
418. Someone get me
a tea towel or something.Copy !req
419. You're joking with me.Copy !req
420. No.Copy !req
421. - You're not joking with me.
- Uh-uh.Copy !req
422. This is why you don't
go out with him anymore.Copy !req
423. No. No, no. That's because
he made a mess on my carpet.Copy !req
424. That's not funny.Copy !req
425. I know.Copy !req
426. How on earth did you get
to fall in with somebody like this?Copy !req
427. - Let's just change the subject, all right?
- He's not the sort of bloke I'd have thought
you'd normally associate with.Copy !req
428. - Come on.
- What were you doing? Were you...Copy !req
429. "working" for him at the time?Copy !req
430. That is none of your business.Copy !req
431. I think you better find someone else
to start telling you little stories.Copy !req
432. Oh, come on.
I was just joking.Copy !req
433. Oh, Jesus fucking Christ!Copy !req
434. Think, think, think, think, think, think.Copy !req
435. You're developing a taste for it.Copy !req
436. The violating, the voyeurism —
oh, it's definitely you.Copy !req
437. - I think not.
- I think so.Copy !req
438. And before long you'll have
developed a taste for all the things
that go with the proceeds.Copy !req
439. - Such as?
- Well, all this.Copy !req
440. Do you make all your money
through burglary?Copy !req
441. No, not all of it.Copy !req
442. - In fact, you're gonna pay for this.
- I told you: I can't afford to.Copy !req
443. Don't worry. It won't really be you.
It'll be D. Lloyd that pays for this.Copy !req
444. I thought I'd give you the pleasure
of pretending to pay.Copy !req
445. - What am I supposed to do with this?
- Sign it.Copy !req
446. - "Sign it"?
- Sign it.Copy !req
447. In your own handwriting.
Then you can do anything you want with it.Copy !req
448. "D. Lloyd."Copy !req
449. Don't you ever worry
about being caught?Copy !req
450. Why else would I do it?
Besides, I'm not gonna get caught.Copy !req
451. - What, you've thought it all through?
- I've thought it all through.Copy !req
452. This is only the tip of the iceberg.Copy !req
453. I will do things
that you don't even believe.Copy !req
454. - Such as —
- Example:Copy !req
455. Sometimes when I'm watching a flat,
I'll see that the owners...Copy !req
456. are about to go on holiday.Copy !req
457. I'll wait till they're gone,
then move in for a week or two.Copy !req
458. You've got to be joking.Copy !req
459. No. Happens a lot more
than you'd believe.Copy !req
460. How do you know
when they're gonna be back?Copy !req
461. It's almost always marked
on the kitchen calendar.Copy !req
462. Christ.Copy !req
463. Jesus fucking Christ!Copy !req
464. - What's wrong?
- The woman — from the first flat.Copy !req
465. - The one we broke into. She just walked in.
- Are you sure?Copy !req
466. - Yes, I am fucking sure.
- Is she with the same bloke?Copy !req
467. - No.
- It's all right, then.Copy !req
468. - What if she sees us?
- She's with her partner.
She can't do anything.Copy !req
469. I think that's
one hell of a chance to take.Copy !req
470. What's she gonna say? We stole half
a bottle of indifferent red wine? Calm down.Copy !req
471. - Do you mind if we skip dessert?
- Yes, I fucking mind.Copy !req
472. - She's coming this way.
- She's going to the loo.Copy !req
473. - She saw me.
- Oh, yeah?Copy !req
474. She saw me. She recognizes us.
I think we should leave.Copy !req
475. Okay.Copy !req
476. We'll leave. Not that we've got
anything to worry about...Copy !req
477. except for you making
a fucking twat out of yourself.Copy !req
478. I really hate it when I don't get to finish
a good meal with a cup of coffee.Copy !req
479. - Yeah, but —
- Don't fucking say it.Copy !req
480. She got a second look at me.
She recognized me.Copy !req
481. That sort of thing makes me nervous.Copy !req
482. If you're so worried about your appearance,
why don't you change it?Copy !req
483. You know, new haircut,
new set of clothes.Copy !req
484. Your mother won't recognize you. Just
because you break into people's homes...Copy !req
485. doesn't mean you have to look
like a fucking burglar.Copy !req
486. "Everybody has a box."Copy !req
487. - Yeah?
- Hello. It's Bill.Copy !req
488. Oh, hello, Bill.
What can I do for you?Copy !req
489. Not much. It's about the stuff.Copy !req
490. What about the stuff?Copy !req
491. I've, uh, met this guy.
Said he would fence most of it.Copy !req
492. I thought I'd have a go myself,
like you said.Copy !req
493. I don't reckon
I'll get as much as you could...Copy !req
494. but, um, you'll have half
of whatever I get.Copy !req
495. How does that sound?Copy !req
496. Well, that sounds fine.
Anything else?Copy !req
497. - Yeah, I took your advice.
- What advice?Copy !req
498. About changing my appearance.
Got my hair cut. I'm all dressed up.Copy !req
499. With no place to go.Copy !req
500. God, Bill, I wasn't being
entirely serious about that, you know?Copy !req
501. Yeah.Copy !req
502. I just feel better this way.Copy !req
503. - Safer, huh?
- Safer.Copy !req
504. I'll give you a ring
when I get the money.Copy !req
505. Right.Copy !req
506. What was all that about?Copy !req
507. You.Copy !req
508. Your stuff, anyway.
He's gonna deal with it himself.Copy !req
509. Meaning?Copy !req
510. Meaning he took the bait,
and he's hooked.Copy !req
511. He's gonna hang on to the stuff,
pretend to sell it, give me some money.Copy !req
512. You may even get most of it back,
if you're lucky.Copy !req
513. God, it's perfect.
The photos worked.Copy !req
514. I even got him to cut his hair
and change his clothes.Copy !req
515. So does that mean you'll tell me
where you hid my earring?Copy !req
516. No.Copy !req
517. And I wouldn't wait
for your panties either.Copy !req
518. He's too embarrassed
to give those back to you.Copy !req
519. Shit. And did you have
to break my window?Copy !req
520. Couldn't you have found
a key or something?Copy !req
521. No, that would've been
three spare keys in a row.Copy !req
522. Even Bill's not going to fall for that.Copy !req
523. God, it was so embarrassing
when we went to his place.Copy !req
524. Right under the mat, just like I told him.
It's totally pathetic.Copy !req
525. It was a new mat as well,
and I seriously think...Copy !req
526. he bought this mat just so
he could put the key under it.Copy !req
527. Fuck off.Copy !req
528. How did you know it was me?Copy !req
529. That could've been your mother
you just told to fuck off.Copy !req
530. I meant it.Copy !req
531. Oh, come on. Let me in.
I've come to apologize.Copy !req
532. - So apologize.
- I haven't been entirely honest with you.Copy !req
533. I'm doing a piece about burglaries.Copy !req
534. What?Copy !req
535. I'm writing about burglaries,
about a friend of mine...Copy !req
536. who breaks into people's houses.Copy !req
537. That's why I asked you
so many questions about your break-in.Copy !req
538. I didn't tell you at the time 'cause
I didn't want to upset you too much.Copy !req
539. He's been breaking in, and I've been —
I haven't stolen anything.Copy !req
540. I just go along and...
see what happens.Copy !req
541. Is that it?Copy !req
542. Yes.Copy !req
543. What's that got to do with anything?Copy !req
544. Now I've been honest with you.
I want you to return the favor.Copy !req
545. - I have been honest with you.
- You're still seeing the bald guy.Copy !req
546. I was early the other day,
and I saw him leave.Copy !req
547. - You said it was over.
- It is.Copy !req
548. Then why are you still seeing him?Copy !req
549. He's blackmailing me.Copy !req
550. - He's rich. Why on earth would he —
- I didn't say anything about money.Copy !req
551. - What's he blackmailing you with?
- Photos.Copy !req
552. Of?Copy !req
553. Of me.Copy !req
554. - Don't ask me anything else.
I'm not feeding your seedy little fantasies.
- You've got me all wrong, you know.Copy !req
555. - Have I?
- Yes.Copy !req
556. - Where are these pictures?
- In his office. Why?Copy !req
557. - I could take them.
- How?Copy !req
558. I could break in.
Me and this guy could do it.Copy !req
559. There's got to be some valuable stuff
in his office, right?Copy !req
560. - He sometimes keeps
some money in his safe.
- We can't get into his safe.Copy !req
561. - That's where the photos are.
- What?Copy !req
562. They're in an envelope —
the negatives and some of the prints.Copy !req
563. - We can't do that.
- I know the combination.Copy !req
564. How?Copy !req
565. I've seen him open it
loads of times.Copy !req
566. I thought I might be able
to lift them myself.Copy !req
567. That's what we'll do, then.Copy !req
568. No one in their right minds
would steal from him.Copy !req
569. If we don't get caught, it's not gonna
matter who it was we stole from...Copy !req
570. and we're not going to get caught.Copy !req
571. If you get them,
you won't look at the photos...Copy !req
572. and you won't even look
in the envelope.Copy !req
573. - Of course not.
- I've got your word on that?Copy !req
574. You have my word.Copy !req
575. - You're late.
- Sorry.Copy !req
576. I thought you said
you were gonna fence it yourself.Copy !req
577. I got rid of most of it.Copy !req
578. It'll take me a couple days
to get rid of all this.Copy !req
579. That's what I thought.Copy !req
580. Is there something else
on your mind?Copy !req
581. Yeah. I want to hit a place.Copy !req
582. I've been scouting out
a couple places.Copy !req
583. - A particular place. For some photos.
- "Photos"?Copy !req
584. Yeah, for a friend.Copy !req
585. - What's the place?
- The photos are in a safe,
but I've got the combination.Copy !req
586. Well, if it's for a friend,
where's the money in it?Copy !req
587. Money's in the safe... probably.Copy !req
588. "Probably." Whose office?Copy !req
589. - A club owner. Pornographer type.
- Heavy?Copy !req
590. Yeah, looks like it.Copy !req
591. What the fuck's going on?Copy !req
592. - I'm seeing someone.
- Who?Copy !req
593. - The owner of that bag.
- What?Copy !req
594. The woman whose house we hit,
the one with the pictures of herself.Copy !req
595. Tell me you're fucking joking.Copy !req
596. No.Copy !req
597. I thought she looked interesting,
I followed her...Copy !req
598. - we had a drink, and... now we're involved.
- Have you slept with her?Copy !req
599. Yeah. We're gettin' on really well.Copy !req
600. I wanted to give some of her stuff back
to her, but I thought that would mean —Copy !req
601. You thought that would mean telling her
that you fucking robbed her!Copy !req
602. How shrewd! I mean, how fucking
prudent of you not to tell her that!Copy !req
603. That's a nice haircut, though.Copy !req
604. Nice suit as well.Copy !req
605. - Pity about the bloodstains on it.
- What blood—Copy !req
606. You're on your own now.Copy !req
607. Here.
Here's a present for you...Copy !req
608. to get you started
on your new solo career.Copy !req
609. - Did you have to beat him?
- Did you have to sleep with him?Copy !req
610. - You told me to.
- I said you should if you had to...Copy !req
611. but that's not really the same
as telling you to.Copy !req
612. - Did you enjoy it?
- Did you enjoy beating him up?Copy !req
613. Of course.Copy !req
614. Look, I'm in deep shit.
This is going to work.Copy !req
615. Do they really think
you're involved?Copy !req
616. They've already had me in
for questioning, haven't they?Copy !req
617. It's not gonna be long before they find
the guy who saw me leave and pull me in.Copy !req
618. - Did he get a good look at you?
- No.Copy !req
619. Which is why I think
this is gonna work.Copy !req
620. All we need is someone
of roughly the same appearance...Copy !req
621. roughly the same way of working,
and we should be fine.Copy !req
622. Just tell them what really happened,
that you found her like that.Copy !req
623. No, you wouldn't say that
if you saw what I saw.Copy !req
624. No, I mean, this is horrible.Copy !req
625. There's blood everywhere.Copy !req
626. I mean, her head has been beaten.
She doesn't even look human anymore.Copy !req
627. I mean, I'd been there a while.Copy !req
628. I may have left traces, prints,
forensic shit. I don't know.Copy !req
629. The point is, the body's fresh.
It hasn't been dead long.Copy !req
630. Any witness might put me there
close enough to the time of death.Copy !req
631. You just said the witness
didn't get a good look at you.Copy !req
632. No, but that's not the point, is it?Copy !req
633. A crime that brutal —
an old lady beaten to death.Copy !req
634. If they even think it's me, they're gonna
try and pin it on me, aren't they?Copy !req
635. No, we've got to have someone else.
I've even told them there's someone else.Copy !req
636. - And if he's got an alibi?
- Well, he's a loner.Copy !req
637. He's perfect.Copy !req
638. Even strangers that have seen him before
aren't gonna recognize him...Copy !req
639. because he's had his hair cut.Copy !req
640. No, he's our man.Copy !req
641. I've got it.Copy !req
642. I've got to drop off
the fucking money first.Copy !req
643. Money. Bundles of fucking money.Copy !req
644. Ow!Copy !req
645. Nothing. Nothing.Copy !req
646. "Okay"?Copy !req
647. - I'll — I'll be around soon.Copy !req
648. You promised me
you wouldn't open the envelope.Copy !req
649. It wasn't sealed. They fell out.Copy !req
650. - "They fell out."
- So are you gonna explain?Copy !req
651. I mean, what was it? Was it all
just bullshit to get hold of the money?Copy !req
652. There isn't usually any in there.Copy !req
653. Well, what, then?Copy !req
654. It was for a friend.Copy !req
655. The police think he did something,
and he didn't...Copy !req
656. so he needs a decoy,
another likely suspect.Copy !req
657. Someone caught robbing a place using
the same way he does it, his methods.Copy !req
658. "His methods"?Copy !req
659. Who is the friend?Copy !req
660. Cobb.Copy !req
661. Broke into a place
a couple of weeks ago.Copy !req
662. He found an old lady
bashed to death.Copy !req
663. He ran off. Someone saw him.Copy !req
664. Couple of days later, the police called him in
for questioning. They think he killed her.Copy !req
665. He probably did.Copy !req
666. No, he's a thief.
He's not a murderer.Copy !req
667. So he told them
that they'd got him confused...Copy !req
668. with another burglar he knew,
one who used the same MO.Copy !req
669. Why me?Copy !req
670. You set yourself up for it.Copy !req
671. Cobb noticed you following him
days before he actually approached you.Copy !req
672. Well, initially he thought
you were police...Copy !req
673. - and then he followed you.
- He followed me?Copy !req
674. He followed you
and realized you were just...Copy !req
675. this sad little fucker
waiting to be used.Copy !req
676. So you and Cobb just went for it.Copy !req
677. How could you do this to me?Copy !req
678. To anybody?Copy !req
679. It's not that serious.Copy !req
680. You've got the money.
You didn't kill the old lady.Copy !req
681. You're just there to plant doubt
in the minds of the police.Copy !req
682. They'll never charge you.Copy !req
683. You were supposed to get caught
tonight breaking in.Copy !req
684. They'd pull you in, ask you about the old lady,
and you wouldn't know anything.Copy !req
685. They could still have charged me
for breaking and entering.Copy !req
686. But you did break and enter.Copy !req
687. And for whatever reason,
you didn't get caught red-handed.Copy !req
688. He came in. He went down.Copy !req
689. I didn't hang around long enough
to find out whether he could get up.Copy !req
690. It's his blood on my hammer.Copy !req
691. How could you do this to me?Copy !req
692. It's nothing personal.Copy !req
693. When I began this,
I didn't even know you.Copy !req
694. - I'm going to the police in the morning.
- You can't.Copy !req
695. I'm going,
and I'm gonna tell them everything.Copy !req
696. You can't,
'cause they won't believe you.Copy !req
697. I'm gonna tell them everything.
They'll believe me because it's the truth.Copy !req
698. - Not if you haven't got someone
to back up your story.
- You could.Copy !req
699. I won't.Copy !req
700. They'll make you, because your lies
won't stand up to the truth.Copy !req
701. - I wouldn't do this if I were you.Copy !req
702. That's it.Copy !req
703. I mean, if you've got
any questions, then —Copy !req
704. One or two.Copy !req
705. You see, we don't actually have
any unsolved murders of old ladies...Copy !req
706. - at the present.
- You must have.Copy !req
707. There's no such ongoing investigation.Copy !req
708. And we don't know
this Mr. Cobb of yours.Copy !req
709. I warned you
he'd look in the envelope.Copy !req
710. He gave me his word.
I believed him.Copy !req
711. It's nothing personal.
He couldn't help it.Copy !req
712. I mean, he's a born peeper.Copy !req
713. Anyway, down to business.Copy !req
714. "Business"?Copy !req
715. Perhaps there's...Copy !req
716. something else
you'd like to tell me, hmm?Copy !req
717. Anything.Copy !req
718. - Where's the hammer?
- It's in that bag.Copy !req
719. What are you gonna do with it?Copy !req
720. The old man was very specific
about how I should do things.Copy !req
721. What's the old man
got to say about it?Copy !req
722. Well, he is letting me keep
all the money from his safe.Copy !req
723. Anything at all.Copy !req
724. Your side of things.Copy !req
