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. Urn -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. Urn, 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.7Copy !req
27. They've become an individual,
just like that.Copy !req
28. lt 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 in valved,
what they do....Copy !req
56. Where they come from,
where they go to?Copy !req
57. [Coughing 1Copy !req
58. You watch somebody's behavior,
and it raises...Copy !req
59. a hundred thousand questions...Copy !req
60. and I wanted to ask
those questions...Copy !req
61. and I wanted to know
what the answers were.Copy !req
62. And so I'd follow people
to try and find out.Copy !req
63. The most important rule was...Copy !req
64. that even if I found out where
somebody worked or where they lived...Copy !req
65. then you would never follow
the same person twice.Copy !req
66. That was the most important rule.Copy !req
67. That was the one that I broke first.Copy !req
68. Yes?Copy !req
69. - Uh, coffee, please.
- Come on. It's lunch.Copy !req
70. Uh, toasted cheese sandwich as well.Copy !req
71. Mind if I join you?Copy !req
72. Who and why?Copy !req
73. Hi. Yeah, urn, I'll have
a black coffee please, and -Copy !req
74. What's that?Copy !req
75. Another coffee, black.Copy !req
76. You're obviously not a policeman,
so who are you and why are you following me?Copy !req
77. I'm sorry. I don't know
what you're talking about.Copy !req
78. Don't piss me about.
Who the fuck are you?Copy !req
79. Oh, thank you very much.Copy !req
80. Sugar?Copy !req
81. No, I wasn't -
I wasn't following you.Copy !req
82. I - I -
I saw you with your bag.Copy !req
83. I just thought
you looked interesting.Copy !req
84. - What are you, a faggot?
- No, no.Copy !req
85. Okay, to tell you the truth,
I thought you were this guy...Copy !req
86. that I was at school with.Copy !req
87. I saw you walk in here,
so I followed you in just to see if it was him.Copy !req
88. - Bu! it wasn't.
- Why didn't you ask me when you saw me?Copy !req
89. 'Cause I'd have been embarrassed
if it wasn't the person.Copy !req
90. Not as embarrassed
as you are now.Copy !req
91. - No, I suppose not.
- What's your name?Copy !req
92. Bill.Copy !req
93. Well, Bill, what do you do?Copy !req
94. - Actually, I'm kind of-
- Between jobs right' now. Yeah.Copy !req
95. - Yeah. That's right.
- What would you do?Copy !req
96. - Don't know.
- Oh, come on, Bill.Copy !req
97. Don't be coy. There's some burning
ambition inside you, isn't there?Copy !req
98. There's something
of the starving artist in you, no?Copy !req
99. - No. No.
- No?Copy !req
100. - You're a painter.
- No. - Photos.Copy !req
101. - No.
- Writer.
- No.Copy !req
102. - Writer, eh?
- No.Copy !req
103. - But you write.
- Not much.Copy !req
104. - But sometimes.
- Sometimes. Who doesn't?Copy !req
105. Me.Copy !req
106. - So you're a writer.
- I didn't say that.Copy !req
107. What makes you think
I'm a writer, anyway?Copy !req
108. An unemployed 20-something...Copy !req
109. who fancies himself a writer -
a real leap into the unknown.Copy !req
110. - Well, I'm not a writer.
- But you're interested in people.Copy !req
111. - Yeah.
- This person.Copy !req
112. Perhaps.Copy !req
113. You haven't even
asked me my name yet...Copy !req
114. - What's your name?
- or What's in my bag.Copy !req
115. - What bag?
- My bag.Copy !req
116. The one you've been
looking at all morning.Copy !req
117. What's your name,
and what's in your bag?Copy !req
118. My name's Cobb.Copy !req
119. Take a look for yourself.Copy !req
120. What were you expecting?
Drugs?Copy !req
121. Why would you nick their old CDs?Copy !req
122. Easy to grab a load. Easy to sell.
Totally untraceable.Copy !req
123. The other stuff's a bit more tricky.Copy !req
124. You don't look like a burglar.Copy !req
125. Sounds like a compliment.Copy !req
126. Are you interested now?Copy !req
127. Gloves.Copy !req
128. - People don't really do that, do they?
- You'd be surprised.Copy !req
129. Does that really work?Copy !req
130. Wait and see.Copy !req
131. Beginner's luck.Copy !req
132. See? Nobody home.Copy !req
133. Okay, first things first.
We need a bag.Copy !req
134. A bag?Copy !req
135. To carry the stuff in.
Why are you whispering?Copy !req
136. - Don't you have one of your own?
- Yeah, it's a big bag with "swag" written right across it.Copy !req
137. Ah, bingo.Copy !req
138. Okay. What do you fancy?Copy !req
139. - Nothing here of any value.
- You don't seem that concerned.Copy !req
140. - I don't do it for the money.
- Why do you do it?Copy !req
141. For the adrenaline. And because,
like you, I'm interested in people.Copy !req
142. You can tell a lot about people
from their stuff.Copy !req
143. - How old would you say these people are?
- Don't know.Copy !req
144. You can tell a lot from the futon, for a start.
Young people have futons.Copy !req
145. Most people wouldn't be
anywhere near 40 with a futon.Copy !req
146. And they've got one laundry bag,
which means...Copy !req
147. they're probably very used
to each other.Copy !req
148. - Probably about 25 over.
- They could be 20 and have been living together for years.Copy !req
149. Nah. No, look at the books.
They're college-educated.Copy !req
150. Probably graduated
when they were 21 or 22.Copy !req
151. Moved in together in the last year.Copy !req
152. You can tell more from the music.Copy !req
153. And here is the box.Copy !req
154. - What box?
- Everyone has a box.Copy !req
155. With men, it's usually a shoebox.Copy !req
156. - Are there valuables in it?
- No. More interesting, more personal.Copy !req
157. Things like snapshots, letters...Copy !req
158. or trinkets from a Christmas cracker.Copy !req
159. See?Copy !req
160. Envelope, photo...Copy !req
161. little calling cards, notes.Copy !req
162. A sort of unconscious collection.
A display.Copy !req
163. - What do you mean, "display"?
- Well, display.Copy !req
164. Each thing tells something
very intimate about the people.Copy !req
165. We're very privileged to see it.
It's very rare.Copy !req
166. Hey, hey, hey, hey!
What the -Copy !req
167. What the hell'd you do that for?Copy !req
168. It's like a diary.Copy !req
169. They hide it, but actually they want
someone to see it. That's what I do.Copy !req
170. Concealment, display -
flip sides of the same coin.Copy !req
171. This way they know
that someone's seen it.Copy !req
172. That's what it's all about -
interrupting someone's life...Copy !req
173. making them see all the things
they took for granted.Copy !req
174. Like when they go back and buy
all this stuff from the shelves...Copy !req
175. with the insurance money,
they'll have to think...Copy !req
176. for the first time in a long time...Copy !req
177. why they wanted all this stuff,
what it's for.Copy !req
178. You take it away...Copy !req
179. and show them what they had.Copy !req
180. Saucy, eh?
Found these in the last flat.Copy !req
181. Think I'll just give them
something to chat about.Copy !req
182. - Why would you do that?
- She'll find them in his trousers and ask him what he's been doing.Copy !req
183. Yeah, but why would you want
to fuck up their relationship?Copy !req
184. Don't you listen?
You take it away...Copy !req
185. and show them what they had.Copy !req
186. - Fancy a drink?
- You've gotta be joking.Copy !req
187. Oh, don't be fooled
by the supermarket label.Copy !req
188. I seem to remember I've had this before,
and it was actually quite good.Copy !req
189. You'd have had a bit of difficulty
doing this with your gloves on.Copy !req
190. - So we actually gonna take anything?
- Anything your heart desires.Copy !req
191. Although that's not really the point, is it?
I mean, it's just work.Copy !req
192. I thought the whole point of burglary
was taking things.Copy !req
193. No, this is the point - breaking in,
entering someones life...Copy !req
194. finding out who they really are.Copy !req
195. I mean, don't you just feel it?
Standing here...Copy !req
196. drinking their wine -
people we'll never even meet.Copy !req
197. Would you like a drink?
I've got' some wine.Copy !req
198. - Holy f-
- Shh!Copy !req
199. - You startled us! Are you from the agency, or are you viewing like us?
- What are you doing in my flat?Copy !req
200. - Didn't the agent tell you we'd be here this afternoon?
- But we're not moving.Copy !req
201. You must be the man of the house.
Congratulations. You have a very nice home.Copy !req
202. - But we're not moving.
- Really?Copy !req
203. Oh, then I should check
with the agent then, love.Copy !req
204. Bye.Copy !req
205. Shit. We shouldn't have come up here.
We're gonna have to wait ages to get down.Copy !req
206. There's a way up here.Copy !req
207. Jesus Christ!
Do you think they believed you?Copy !req
208. Of course they didn't
fucking believe me.Copy !req
209. What the hell
do you think you were doing?Copy !req
210. - I caught them on the hop. We surprised them.
- How do you mean?Copy !req
211. That bloke wasn't her boyfriend.
Why do you think he didn't say anything?Copy !req
212. No, she was up to no good, and she was
probably glad we weren't her boyfriend.Copy !req
213. - You reckon'?
- Definitely. Why else would she be home...Copy !req
214. in the middle of the afternoon?Copy !req
215. No, you just can't plan
for that kind of fucking shit.Copy !req
216. We were unlucky.
Don't worry about it. It won't happen again.Copy !req
217. - Yeah, well, I'm not so sure.
- Oh, yeah?Copy !req
218. Well, next time you can do
the fucking prep work.Copy !req
219. - No, no, I didn't mean -
- No, I mean it.Copy !req
220. Take your mark, check it out...Copy !req
221. for days, months, years, whatever.Copy !req
222. - It'll be the next place we hit.
- Yeah, all right.Copy !req
223. - Tell you what.
- What?Copy !req
224. I feel bad about pulling
the panty routine on that bloke.Copy !req
225. She's gonna give him loads of shit,
and she's the one fooling around.Copy !req
226. A beer, please.Copy !req
227. - Buy you a drink?
- Yeah.Copy !req
228. - But you can't sleep with me.
- Why is that?Copy !req
229. 'Cause I'm with the guy over there.Copy !req
230. Not that bald one.Copy !req
231. He'll let you buy me a drink,
but sex is completely out of the question.Copy !req
232. - Still want to buy me that drink?
- No.Copy !req
233. - So what's a nice girl like you...
- Doing in a place like this.Copy !req
234. Doing with a bald old cunt like that?Copy !req
235. It's a long story. And keep your voice down,
'cause he does own this place.Copy !req
236. I was trying to get your attention.Copy !req
237. My name's Daniel Lloyd.
My friends call me Danny.Copy !req
238. So?Copy !req
239. So you've obviously had a bad day...Copy !req
240. the kind that makes you feel like
everybody's out for their pound of flesh.Copy !req
241. Yeah.Copy !req
242. I've been having
quite a lot of days like that.Copy !req
243. - Say something to me.
- Like what?Copy !req
244. I'll see you outside in ten minutes.Copy !req
245. - Oh, I'm sorry. Lt just -
- Just came apart in your hands.Copy !req
246. - It did, actually.
- Yeah, I know. It was broken already.Copy !req
247. It's all right.
Somebody dropped it.Copy !req
248. I've been meaning to fix it...Copy !req
249. but, uh...Copy !req
250. I'll probably never get around to it.Copy !req
251. So take a seat.
Make yourself at home.Copy !req
252. - So about you and this bald guy, then.
- What about him?Copy !req
253. - Going out with him?
- Not exactly.Copy !req
254. But you and him have
something going.Copy !req
255. We used to go out with each other,
but that's been over for a long time.Copy !req
256. So why did you tell me
you were with him?Copy !req
257. To get rid of you.Copy !req
258. So why, when you agreed to have
a drink with me, did we have to come here?Copy !req
259. He still gets jealous, and, uh...Copy !req
260. - I didn't feel like going back to my place.
- Why not'?Copy !req
261. I got burgled yesterday.Copy !req
262. What's it feel like, being broken into?Copy !req
263. Most people ask,
"What did they take?"Copy !req
264. I'm curious about the way people feel.Copy !req
265. I'm a writer.Copy !req
266. Gosh.Copy !req
267. " So?
" $0'?Copy !req
268. - So how'd it feel?
- Great.Copy !req
269. Sorry.Copy !req
270. So this bald guy -
he's dangerous, is he?Copy !req
271. - Christ, you are a nosy bastard.
- Dangerous like how?Copy !req
272. Dangerous like
criminal-type dangerous.Copy !req
273. Dangerous like
"involved in bad things" type dangerous.Copy !req
274. - What sort of bad things?
- The usual.Copy !req
275. - Girls, drugs, magazines.
- Magazines?Copy !req
276. And films. Pornography.
And he owns a couple of clubs.Copy !req
277. - Wealthy type?
- Yes.Copy !req
278. And refined.Copy !req
279. Took me a long time to realize
the kind of things he was capable of.Copy !req
280. And what sort of things are they?Copy !req
281. Perhaps another time.Copy !req
282. I really think I should be going.Copy !req
283. ' Yeah?Copy !req
284. - It's me - Bill.
- What the fuck do you want?Copy !req
285. - Advice.
- On what?Copy !req
286. - On a job.
- What fucking job?Copy !req
287. - The job that I told you about.
- Not interested.Copy !req
288. Yeah, I know that.
I'm gonna do it myself.Copy !req
289. Wanna know something
about protection.Copy !req
290. - "Protection"?
- Yeah. You know...Copy !req
291. self-defense, weapons,
stuff like that.Copy !req
292. Surprisingly enough, I thought
you might be able to give me some advice.Copy !req
293. Steel whip.
Nunchucks, they're all right.Copy !req
294. Tools are good - sharpened
screwdriver, hammer, chisel -Copy !req
295. - "Hammer"?
- Yeah. Medium size. Good rubber grip.Copy !req
296. It's very nasty. If you get a claw hammer,
you can pry doors with it.Copy !req
297. Slip it into the back
of your waistband, you're set.Copy !req
298. You still there?Copy !req
299. Why don't you get some of these,
for chrissake?Copy !req
300. - Where did you get them?
- Stole them from Middlesex Hospital.Copy !req
301. You can't buy them.Copy !req
302. Bin-fucking-go.Copy !req
303. Okay. You get the bag.
I'll check out the stuff.Copy !req
304. - I got one.
- Oh, that's good.Copy !req
305. - May not need it, though. There's fuck-all here.
- Really?Copy !req
306. - Well, what about the telly?
- It's fucking useless.Copy !req
307. What are we, burglars or vandals?Copy !req
308. Well, if you're a burglar,
why don't you start burgling?Copy !req
309. Uh, what about the tapes?Copy !req
310. - Not much of a collection, and it's a bit personal.
- What do you mean?Copy !req
311. Not the stuff you'd play to your dinner
party guests to fill in gaps in conversation.Copy !req
312. - What sort of music's that?
- I don't know. Simply Red, Fleetwood Mac, that kind of shit.Copy !req
313. - He's got taste.
- Each to his own...Copy !req
314. but he's a sad fucker
with no social life.Copy !req
315. - Ooh. Nice machine.
- Maybe he's a writer.Copy !req
316. Nah. If he was a writer,
he'd have a word processor.Copy !req
317. This guy wants to be a writer,
and those are two totally separate things.Copy !req
318. - You checked this out?
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
319. - You watched him go to work? You saw his routine?
- Yeah.Copy !req
320. - What's his job?
- He works in a bank.Copy !req
321. This guy's unemployed.Copy !req
322. - No, he's not.
- Look at the desk. He's unemployed.Copy !req
323. People who have jobs don't have
this fucking shit in their homes.Copy !req
324. He's either unemployed
or is a student...Copy !req
325. which means he could be back
any fucking second. What the fuck is that?Copy !req
326. I mean, you should recognize
the dole, boy. His fucking UB40!Copy !req
327. You fucking asshole! You didn't
check this out at all. We're going now.Copy !req
328. We're not gonna take anything?Copy !req
329. No, we're not.
I don't feel like scrounging off...Copy !req
330. some poor dole-head fucker -
no offense.Copy !req
331. None taken.Copy !req
332. Let's go to someplace
I've checked out.Copy !req
333. Hi. Make yourself at home.
I'll be down in just a minute.Copy !req
334. - Nice place.
- Thanks.Copy !req
335. Feel a bit funny about it,
you know, since...Copy !req
336. someone's been going through my stuff.
It's sort of creepy.Copy !req
337. What'd they take?Copy !req
338. Books, my camera, CDs.Copy !req
339. They even took a bag
from my cupboard to take it away in.Copy !req
340. - Apparently that's pretty standard.
- Must be terrible, losing all that stuff.Copy !req
341. Insurance will cover most of it.
It's personal stuff that's worse.Copy !req
342. "Personal stuff"? Like what?Copy !req
343. They, um,
rifled through my underwear.Copy !req
344. Shit. Why would they do that?Copy !req
345. Come on. You know the kind of kinky,
voyeuristic shit men get into.Copy !req
346. No, I'm sorry.
I'm not into any of that.Copy !req
347. One other thing they did was
they took one of my earrings.Copy !req
348. The didn't take the pair, they just took one,
just to really fuck me off.Copy !req
349. You probably misplaced
the other one or something.Copy !req
350. Oh, no. I mean,
I had them on my dresser.Copy !req
351. I came back,
and there was just one.Copy !req
352. - So you just wear the other one now.
- Gives me something to talk about.Copy !req
353. I'll, uh -
I'll go and get some clothes on.Copy !req
354. Bill?Copy !req
355. Saucy, eh?Copy !req
356. You haven't found a bag yet?Copy !req
357. - Is this her flat?
- Yeah. She's a fox.Copy !req
358. She's got pictures
of herself everywhere.Copy !req
359. Yeah. She looks good.Copy !req
360. Look at this stuff.Copy !req
361. - You should take some of this stuff.
- No way.Copy !req
362. Suit yourself.
I'm gonna take some, though.Copy !req
363. Look at her. She's a babe.Copy !req
364. Bingo.Copy !req
365. Why does she have
so many pictures of herself?Copy !req
366. I think she's a model.
She's certainly vain.Copy !req
367. Is that about it?Copy !req
368. Yeah, I guess
that covers the useful stuff.Copy !req
369. Stereo's too big.Copy !req
370. Piano definitely too big.
I think...Copy !req
371. I'll just misplace this for her.Copy !req
372. - What is this place?
- Used to be offices.Copy !req
373. - How'd you get the keys?
- Broke in, changed the locks.Copy !req
374. It's owned by one of those
management places, you know?Copy !req
375. They never come around, and if they do,
they'll just think they've mixed up their keys.Copy !req
376. Eventually they'll break in and change
the locks, but I'll be long gone by then.Copy !req
377. London's full of these dead spaces.Copy !req
378. Above restaurants or shops.
Whole buildings.Copy !req
379. - Do we leave the stuff here?
- No, that's your job.Copy !req
380. You hang on to it till I let you know
we're ready to fence it.Copy !req
381. - Okay.
- Unless...Copy !req
382. you want to try to sell it yourself
and give me half of what you get.Copy !req
383. I wouldn't know
what to do with it.Copy !req
384. Look, I was hard on you
on that last place...Copy !req
385. but you've got to understand:
I won't let anybody put me at risk.Copy !req
386. - Ifs dangerous enough already.
- Sure.Copy !req
387. - An early supper, I think.
- I really can't afford it.Copy !req
388. - It's covered.
- Yeah?Copy !req
389. Okay.Copy !req
390. Authentic, I don't know,
but I like it.Copy !req
391. So you keep on coming in here?Copy !req
392. - I know. I like it, but -
- Why, I don't know.Copy !req
393. No, I do know why.Copy !req
394. - Why?
- Well, because there's no windows...Copy !req
395. and because it's dark, and nobody
can see you in the alcoves...Copy !req
396. and so perhaps the bald guy
wouldn't come past.Copy !req
397. - Maybe.
- Maybe. Maybe this is where you bringCopy !req
398. all the guys you go out with,
because you know that he's...Copy !req
399. not just gonna be walking by,
popping in.Copy !req
400. - Maybe.
- Maybe, yeah.Copy !req
401. I thought it was over
between you two.Copy !req
402. It is.Copy !req
403. S0 how come you still go
to basement bars, then...Copy !req
404. so that you can't be seen by him?Copy !req
405. - Because, as I've told you before -
- Because you're afraid of him, 'cause he's -Copy !req
406. - Because he's dangerous.
- Dangerous.Copy !req
407. Dangerous - How-How dangerous?
You keep on saying he's dangerous.Copy !req
408. You never explain to me...Copy !req
409. why you're so afraid of him.Copy !req
410. Okay.Copy !req
411. He came around to my flat...Copy !req
412. with a couple of his associates...Copy !req
413. and... I didn't really know
what all this was about...Copy !req
414. until this other guy arrived...Copy !req
415. who apparently owed them
some money.Copy !req
416. They didn't like this very much,
so they got a hammer.Copy !req
417. They held him down, and they smashed
every single one of his fingers.Copy !req
418. And then they smashed his skull.Copy !req
419. Someone get me
a tea towel or something.Copy !req
420. You're joking with me.Copy !req
421. No.Copy !req
422. - You're not joking with me.
- Uh-uh.Copy !req
423. This is why you don't
go out with him anymore.Copy !req
424. No. No, no. That's because
he made a mess on my carpet.Copy !req
425. That's not funny.Copy !req
426. I know.Copy !req
427. How on earth did you get
to fall in with somebody like this?Copy !req
428. - 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
429. - Come on.
- What were you doing? Were you...Copy !req
430. "working" for him at the time?Copy !req
431. That is none of your business.Copy !req
432. I think you better find someone else
to start telling you little stories.Copy !req
433. Oh, come on.
I was just joking.Copy !req
434. Oh, Jesus fucking Christ!Copy !req
435. Think, think, think, think, think, think.Copy !req
436. You're developing a taste for it.Copy !req
437. The violating, the voyeurism -
oh, it's definitely you.Copy !req
438. - I think not.
- I think so.Copy !req
439. And before long you'll have developed a taste
for all the things that go with the proceeds.Copy !req
440. - Such as?
- Well, all this.Copy !req
441. Do you make all your money
through burglary?Copy !req
442. No, not all of it.Copy !req
443. - In fact, you're gonna pay for this.
- I told you: I can't afford to.Copy !req
444. Don't worry. It won't really be you.
It'll be D. Lloyd that pays for this.Copy !req
445. I thought I'd give you the pleasure
of pretending to pay.Copy !req
446. - What am I supposed to do with this?
- Sign it.Copy !req
447. - "Sign it"?
- Sign it.Copy !req
448. In your own handwriting.
Then you can do anything you want with it.Copy !req
449. "D. Lloyd."Copy !req
450. Don't you ever worry
about being caught?Copy !req
451. Why else would I do it?
Besides, I'm not gonna get caught.Copy !req
452. - What, you've thought it all through?
- I've thought it all through.Copy !req
453. This is only the tip of the iceberg.Copy !req
454. I will do things
that you don't even believe.Copy !req
455. - Such as -
- Example:Copy !req
456. Sometimes when I'm watching a flat,
I'll see that the owners...Copy !req
457. are about to go on holiday.Copy !req
458. I'll wait till they're gone,
then move in for a week or two.Copy !req
459. You've got to be joking.Copy !req
460. No. Happens a lot more
than you'd believe.Copy !req
461. How do you know
when they're gonna be back?Copy !req
462. It's almost always marked
on the kitchen calendar.Copy !req
463. Christ.Copy !req
464. Jesus fucking Christ!Copy !req
465. - What's wrong'?
- The woman - from the first flat.Copy !req
466. - The one we broke into. She just walked in.
- Are you sure?Copy !req
467. - Yes, lam fucking sure.
- Is she with the same bloke?Copy !req
468. - No.
- It's all right, then.Copy !req
469. - What if she sees us?
- She's with her partner. She can't do anything.Copy !req
470. I think that's
one hell of a chance to take.Copy !req
471. What's she gonna say? We stole half
a bottle of indifferent red wine? Calm down.Copy !req
472. - Do you mind if we skip dessert?
- Yes, I fucking mind.Copy !req
473. - She's coming this way.
- She's going to the /00.Copy !req
474. - She saw me.
- Oh, yeah?Copy !req
475. She saw me. She recognizes us.
I think we should leave.Copy !req
476. Okay.Copy !req
477. We'll leave. Not that we've got
anything to worry about...Copy !req
478. except for you making
a fucking twat out of yourself.Copy !req
479. I really hate it when I don't get to finish
a good meal with a cup of coffee.Copy !req
480. - Yeah, but -
- Don't fucking say it.Copy !req
481. She got a second look at me.
She recognized me.Copy !req
482. That sort of thing makes me nervous.Copy !req
483. If you're so worried about your appearance,
why don't you change it?Copy !req
484. You know, new haircut,
new set of clothes.Copy !req
485. Your mother won't recognize you. Just
because you break into people's homes...Copy !req
486. doesn't mean you have to look
like a fucking burglar.Copy !req
487. "Everybody has a box."Copy !req
488. - Yeah?
- Hello. It's Bill.Copy !req
489. Oh, hello, Bill.
What can I do for you?Copy !req
490. Not much. It's about the stuff.Copy !req
491. What about the stuff?Copy !req
492. I've, uh, met this guy.
Said he would fence most of it.Copy !req
493. I thought I'd have a go myself,
like you said.Copy !req
494. I don't reckon
I'll get as much as you could...Copy !req
495. but, um, you'll have half
of whatever I get.Copy !req
496. How does that sound?Copy !req
497. Well, that sounds fine.
Anything else?Copy !req
498. - Yeah, I took your advice.
- What advice?Copy !req
499. About changing my appearance.
Got my hair cut. I'm all dressed up.Copy !req
500. With no place to go.Copy !req
501. God, Bill, I wasn't being
entirely serious about that, you know?Copy !req
502. Yeah.Copy !req
503. I just feel better this way.Copy !req
504. - Safer, huh?
- Safer.Copy !req
505. I'll give you a ring
when I get the money.Copy !req
506. Right.Copy !req
507. What was all that about?Copy !req
508. You.Copy !req
509. Your stuff, anyway.
He's gonna deal with it himself.Copy !req
510. Meaning?Copy !req
511. Meaning he took the bait,
and he's hooked.Copy !req
512. He's gonna hang on to the stuff,
pretend to sell it, give me some money.Copy !req
513. You may even get most of it back,
if you're lucky.Copy !req
514. God, it's perfect.
The photos worked.Copy !req
515. I even got him to cut his hair
and change his clothes.Copy !req
516. So does that mean you'll tell me
where you hid my earring?Copy !req
517. No.Copy !req
518. And I wouldn't wait
for your panties either.Copy !req
519. He's too embarrassed
to give those back to you.Copy !req
520. Shit. And did you have
to break my window?Copy !req
521. Couldn't you have found
a key or something?Copy !req
522. No, that would've been
three spare keys in a row.Copy !req
523. Even Bill's not going to fall for that.Copy !req
524. God, it was so embarrassing
when we went to his place.Copy !req
525. Right under the mat, just like I told him.
It's totally pathetic.Copy !req
526. It was a new mat as well,
and I seriously think...Copy !req
527. he bought this mat just so
he could put the key under it.Copy !req
528. Fuck off.Copy !req
529. How did you know it was me?Copy !req
530. That could've been your mother
you just told to fuck off.Copy !req
531. I meant it.Copy !req
532. Oh, come on. Let me in.
I've come to apologize.Copy !req
533. - So apologize.
- I haven't been entirely honest with you.Copy !req
534. I'm doing a piece about burglaries.Copy !req
535. What?Copy !req
536. I'm writing about burglaries,
about a friend of mine...Copy !req
537. who breaks into people's houses.Copy !req
538. That's why I asked you
so many questions about your break-in.Copy !req
539. I didn't tell you at the time 'cause
I didn't want to upset you too much.Copy !req
540. He's been breaking in, and I've been -
I haven't stolen anything.Copy !req
541. I just go along and...
see what happens.Copy !req
542. Is that it?Copy !req
543. Yes.Copy !req
544. What's that got to do with anything?Copy !req
545. Now I've been honest with you.
I want you to return the favor.Copy !req
546. - I have been honest with you.
- You're still seeing the bald guy.Copy !req
547. I was early the other day,
and I saw him leave.Copy !req
548. - You said it was over.
- It is.Copy !req
549. Then why are you still seeing him?Copy !req
550. He's blackmailing me.Copy !req
551. - He's rich. Why on earth would he -
- I didn't say anything about money.Copy !req
552. - What's he blackmailing you with?
- Photos.Copy !req
553. Of?Copy !req
554. Of me.Copy !req
555. - Don't ask me anything else. I'm not feeding your seedy little fantasies.
- You've got me all wrong, you know.Copy !req
556. - Have I?
- Yes.Copy !req
557. - Where are these pictures?
- In his office. Why?Copy !req
558. - I could take them.
- How?Copy !req
559. I could break in.
Me and this guy could do it.Copy !req
560. There's got to be some valuable stuff
in his office, right?Copy !req
561. - He sometimes keeps some money in his safe.
- We can't get into his safe.Copy !req
562. - That's where the photos are.
- What?Copy !req
563. They're in an envelope -
the negatives and some of the prints.Copy !req
564. - We can't do that.
- I know the combination.Copy !req
565. How?Copy !req
566. I've seen him open it
loads of times.Copy !req
567. I thought I might be able
to lift them myself.Copy !req
568. That's what we'll do, then.Copy !req
569. No one in their right minds
would steal from him.Copy !req
570. If we don't get caught, it's not gonna
matter who it was we stole from...Copy !req
571. and we're not going to get caught.Copy !req
572. If you get them,
you won't look at the photos...Copy !req
573. and you won't even look
in the envelope.Copy !req
574. - Of course not.
- I've got your word on that?Copy !req
575. You have my word.Copy !req
576. - You're late.
- Sorry.Copy !req
577. I thought you said
you were gonna fence it yourself.Copy !req
578. I got rid of most of it.Copy !req
579. It'll take me a couple days
to get rid of all this.Copy !req
580. That's what I thought.Copy !req
581. Is there something else
on your mind?Copy !req
582. Yeah. I want to hit a place.Copy !req
583. I've been scouting out
a couple places.Copy !req
584. - A particular place. For some photos.
- "Photos"?Copy !req
585. Yeah, for a friend.Copy !req
586. - What's the place?
- The photos are in a safe, but I've got the combination.Copy !req
587. Well, if it's for a friend,
where's the money in it?Copy !req
588. Money's in the safe... probably.Copy !req
589. "Probably." Whose office?Copy !req
590. - A club owner. Pornographer type.
- Heavy?Copy !req
591. Yeah, looks like it.Copy !req
592. What the fuck's going on?Copy !req
593. - I'm seeing someone.
- Who?Copy !req
594. - The owner of that bag.
- What?Copy !req
595. The woman whose house we hit,
the one with the pictures of herself.Copy !req
596. Tell me you're fucking joking.Copy !req
597. No.Copy !req
598. I thought she looked interesting,
I followed her...Copy !req
599. - we had a drink, and... now we're involved.
- Have you slept with her?Copy !req
600. Yeah. We're gettin' on really well.Copy !req
601. I wanted to give some of her stuff back
to her, but I thought that would mean -Copy !req
602. You thought that would mean telling her
that you fucking robbed her!Copy !req
603. How shrewd! I mean, how fucking
prudent of you not to tell her that!Copy !req
604. That's a nice haircut, though.Copy !req
605. Nice suit as well.Copy !req
606. - Pity about the bloodstains on it.
- What blood-Copy !req
607. You're on your own now.Copy !req
608. Here.
Here's a present for you...Copy !req
609. to get you started
on your new solo career.Copy !req
610. [Coughing 1Copy !req
611. - Did you have to beat him?
- Did you have to sleep with him?Copy !req
612. - You told me to.
- I said you should if you had to...Copy !req
613. but that's not really the same
as telling you to.Copy !req
614. - Did you enjoy it?
- Did you enjoy beating him up?Copy !req
615. Of course.Copy !req
616. Look, I'm in deep shit.
This is going to work.Copy !req
617. Do they really think
you're involved?Copy !req
618. They've already had me in
for questioning, haven't they?Copy !req
619. It's not gonna be long before they find
the guy who saw me leave and pull me in.Copy !req
620. - Did he get a good look at you?
- No.Copy !req
621. Which is why I think
this is gonna work.Copy !req
622. All we need is someone
of roughly the same appearance...Copy !req
623. roughly the same way of working,
and we should be fine.Copy !req
624. Just tell them what really happened,
that you found her like that.Copy !req
625. No, you wouldn't say that
if you saw what I saw.Copy !req
626. No, I mean, this is horrible.Copy !req
627. There's blood everywhere.Copy !req
628. I mean, her head has been beaten.
She doesn't even look human anymore.Copy !req
629. I mean, I'd been there a while.Copy !req
630. I may have left traces, prints,
forensic shit. I don't know.Copy !req
631. The point is, the body's fresh.
It hasn't been dead long.Copy !req
632. Any witness might put me there
close enough to the time of death.Copy !req
633. You just said the witness
didn't get a good look at you.Copy !req
634. No, but that's not the point, is it?Copy !req
635. A crime that brutal -
an old lady beaten to death.Copy !req
636. If they even think it's me, they're gonna
try and pin it on me, aren't they?Copy !req
637. No, we've got to have someone else.
I've even told them there's someone else.Copy !req
638. - And if he's got an alibi?
- Well, he's a loner.Copy !req
639. He's perfect.Copy !req
640. Even strangers that have seen him before
aren't gonna recognize him...Copy !req
641. because he's had his hair cut.Copy !req
642. No, he's our man.Copy !req
643. I've got it.Copy !req
644. I've got to drop off
the fucking money first.Copy !req
645. Money. Bundles of fucking money.Copy !req
646. Ow!Copy !req
647. Nothing. Nothing.Copy !req
648. "Okay"?Copy !req
649. "Okay"?Copy !req
650. - I'll - I'll be around soon.Copy !req
651. You promised me
you wouldn't open the envelope.Copy !req
652. It wasn't sealed. They fell out.Copy !req
653. - "They fell out."
- So are you gonna explain?Copy !req
654. I mean, what was it? Was it all
just bullshit to get hold of the money?Copy !req
655. There isn't usually any in there.Copy !req
656. Well, what, then?Copy !req
657. It was for a friend.Copy !req
658. The police think he did something,
and he didn't...Copy !req
659. so he needs a decoy,
another likely suspect.Copy !req
660. Someone caught robbing a place using
the same way he does it, his methods.Copy !req
661. "His methods"?Copy !req
662. Who is the friend?Copy !req
663. Cobb.Copy !req
664. Broke into a place
a couple of weeks ago.Copy !req
665. He found an old lady
bashed to death.Copy !req
666. He ran off. Someone saw him.Copy !req
667. Couple of days later, the police called him in
for questioning. They think he killed her.Copy !req
668. He probably did.Copy !req
669. No, he's a thief.
He's not a murderer.Copy !req
670. So he told them
that they'd got him confused...Copy !req
671. with another burglar he knew,
one who used the same MO.Copy !req
672. Why me?Copy !req
673. You set yourself up for it.Copy !req
674. Cobb noticed you following him
days before he actually approached you.Copy !req
675. Well, initially he thought
you were police...Copy !req
676. - and then he followed you.
- He followed me?Copy !req
677. He followed you
and realized you were just...Copy !req
678. this sad little fucker
waiting to be used.Copy !req
679. So you and Cobb just went for it.Copy !req
680. How could you do this to me?Copy !req
681. To anybody?Copy !req
682. It's not that serious.Copy !req
683. You've got the money.
You didn't kill the old lady.Copy !req
684. You're just there to plant doubt
in the minds of the police.Copy !req
685. They'll never charge you.Copy !req
686. You were supposed to get caught
tonight breaking in.Copy !req
687. They'd pull you in, ask you about the old lady,
and you wouldn't know anything.Copy !req
688. They could still have charged me
for breaking and entering.Copy !req
689. But you did break and enter.Copy !req
690. And for whatever reason,
you didn't get caught red-handed.Copy !req
691. He came in. He went down.Copy !req
692. I didn't hang around long enough
to find out whether he could get up.Copy !req
693. It's his blood on my hammer.Copy !req
694. How could you do this to me?Copy !req
695. It's nothing personal.Copy !req
696. When I began this,
I didn't even know you.Copy !req
697. - I'm going to the police in the morning.
- You can't.Copy !req
698. I'm going,
and I'm gonna tell them everything.Copy !req
699. You can't,
'cause they won't believe you.Copy !req
700. I'm gonna tell them everything.
They'll believe me because it's the truth.Copy !req
701. - Not if you haven't got someone to back up your story.
- You could.Copy !req
702. I won't.Copy !req
703. They'll make you, because your lies
won't stand up to the truth.Copy !req
704. I wouldn't do this if I were you.Copy !req
705. That's it.Copy !req
706. I mean, if you've got
any questions, then -Copy !req
707. One or two.Copy !req
708. You see, we don't actually have
any unsolved murders of old ladies...Copy !req
709. - at the present.
- You must have.Copy !req
710. There's no such ongoing investigation.Copy !req
711. And we don't know
this Mr. Cobb of yours.Copy !req
712. I warned you
he'd look in the envelope.Copy !req
713. He gave me his word.
I believed him.Copy !req
714. It's nothing personal.
He couldn't help it.Copy !req
715. I mean, he's a born peeper.Copy !req
716. Anyway, down to business.Copy !req
717. "Business"?Copy !req
718. Perhaps there's...Copy !req
719. something else
you'd like to tell me, hmm?Copy !req
720. Anything.Copy !req
721. - Where's the hammer?
- It's in that bag.Copy !req
722. What are you gonna do with it?Copy !req
723. The old man was very specific
about how I should do things.Copy !req
724. What's the old man
got to say about it?Copy !req
725. Well, he is letting me keep
all the money from his safe.Copy !req
726. Anything at all.Copy !req
727. Your side of things.Copy !req
