Morning.

You ever done that before?

What?

SHE EXHALES
Slept with a girl?

No.

I can tell.

What? Nothing. You're cute.

I'm going back to Japan soon.

Like, for the rest of your life,
or...? Probably.

I've always wanted to go to Japan.

Ever seen those monkeys
that sit in the hot pools?

You know, in the snow?

If I went to Japan,
I'd go and see those monkeys.

Sarah?

If you were planning on leaving,
now would be a good time.

Both of you.

He hasn't gone to the police yet.
How do you know?

We don't hear sirens.

Kenzo, get Taki. Go to the
airport... And then run away?

What happens to you?

I don't know! It's...obstruction
of justice harbouring an offender.

It's a couple of years, maybe more.

No! Well, it is!

That's... That's what it is.

You said he was
staying at his mother's house.

I'm not giving you the address.

What's his name? Ian.
What's his surname?

Oh, what are you going to do,

stab him in the back
with a samurai sword?!

No offence. Sarah!

Look, I know you want to help
but the last thing this situation

needs is the damn Mori
brothers riding in!

They're still rebuilding Seoul
after the last time you two

got in a fight, remember?

If you just tell us where we can
find him, we could at least...

I'm not telling you!

We need to stop this!
Yes, Kenzo, we do!

We need to stop the lying
and the violence and the...

..the chaos of this whole
fucking thing!

So, then, you go
and rot in jail for us

while we go and hide back in Tokyo?

I'll face the consequences
of my actions.

Which will not involve
sending the two of you off

on some cockamamie mission
to hunt my ex-boyfriend down!

This isn't you, Kenzo.

This is the man I...

I don't want anyone else
to get hurt.

Please?

HE SIGHS

I don't want anyone else
to get hurt either.

Kenzo?

Don't do this!

I'm going to fix this. I promise!

Hello?

Ian, it's me.

Please, can we meet?

OK. I'll hear you out.

Usual place.

KNOCKING ON DOOR

Japanese Colombo here
thinks something's wrong.

Jesus, what is it?

What, you're just going to
go and meet him? I'm going to

try and talk him out of it.

You put him in jail.
He doesn't want to reason with you -

he wants to destroy you. That's
a risk we're gonna have to take.

Take Taki to Kenzo's room
and wait there.

And don't do anything stupid.

Back in the old local.

It's still my local.

Yeah, it might stay that way.

It's not a million miles
from Pentonville. Don't gloat, Ian.

I'm not gloating. Believe me,
this doesn't bring me any joy.

Then why do it?

You're not a malicious man. You
don't know what kind of man I am.

Yes, I do! No.

You don't.

I spent 18 months
locked in a cage with people

bouncing my head
off the walls for fun.

The sort of thing changes a man.

Maybe I became something
different in that time.

Maybe you did, too.

Half of London's looking for
this guy and he's...

..what, just hanging out in...

..in your home?

It's hard to explain.

Yeah, I'd be fucking astonished
if it wasn't.

I got caught up in something.

I think you know what that
feels like? Yeah, I do.

I did a bad thing
and I was punished.

But my intentions were pure.

But you're giving shelter
to a murderer.

It's more complicated than that.
Will you let me try and explain?

I never got a chance to explain!
I know.

You never gave me a chance to
ask for forgiveness. And I'm sorry.

And you're angry
and you've every right to be,

but doing this won't bring back
the time I took from you.

It won't silence your demons.
You have no idea about my demons.

I know that I've just now let a tiny
bit of fucking light back into

my life and I know I don't deserve
to ask it of you, I know that!

Not after everything.

But it's this one small
bit of happiness I've got

and so I am asking you - please.

Please don't do this!

HE SIGHS

What are you doing?

I'm doing the right thing for once.

HE SIGHS

Where the fuck did she put it?

Yes!

Oh, God I'm going to smoke this!

HE EXHALES

OK, you need to help me.

How?

What are you doing, Sarah?

I mean, Jesus fucking Christ!

You've ruined me.

You took everything from me.

I'm sorry.

For fuck's sake, I loved you!

TEARFULLY: I'm so sorry.

I really am.

TOSHIO LAUGHS

Tell me the truth.

Did you even care about the
corruption or was it just...

I cheated on you?

Do you care that I've broken the law
or do you just care that

I put you in jail?

It's mainly the jail thing,
I'm not going to lie.

I heard that Joyce stuck around.

Yeah.

It turned into this...
something, I don't know.

She never visited me
while I was away.

HE SOBS QUIETLY

Don't!

So, this guy Kenzo...

He's the tiny bit of light
that you let in? Yes.

Do you love him?

That's really none of my business,
is it?

Part of my probation states
I'm not allowed anywhere near you.

So Christ know what'll happen

if I turn up with pictures
taken outside your flat.

You'd be doing me a favour
getting rid of these.

You're a twat, d'you know that?

You're a twat! Yeah.
You're a fucking twat.

SHE LAUGHS

Look after yourself,
Sarah Weitzmann.

Thank you.

And I really didn't put a snake
in your letterbox.

That's just...weird.

Sorry! Sorry, mate. Sorry.

PHONE KEYPAD BEEPS

Police, please.

Yeah, I've just seen
a man on the canal in NW1.

He's behaving very strangely
and I think he's carrying a knife.

POLICE RADIO CHATTER

Right, fella. I'm gonna need you
to put your hands up

where I can see them.

Nice and slow. What? Hands up.

All right.

Oh, whoa!

All right, all right, all right!
Look, all right.

We have information that you might
be carrying a weapon.

Have you got anything sharp in here,
anything we should know about? No!

Are you going to tell me
what the problem is, boys? Ah!

No, no. Hang on, that's a mistake.

I'm arresting you on suspicion of
possession of a class A substance.

You don't have to say anything,
but anything you do say

may harm your defence.
OK, listen to me -

my name's Ian Summers.
I'm an ex-cop, right?

Please, I'm on probation, mate!
Don't...

..do it, please! Sir!

Sir!

Kenzo, it's me. It's all sorted.

You can come back.

You'll kill someone with this,
Samurai Sword.

You should be in jail!

Wakizashi. What?

It was a Wakizashi sword.
Yeah, well...

..it probably don't make
any difference to the guy

that you shish kebab-ed with it.

The man I murdered was
a corrupt piece of shit.

I did the world a favour.
It don't make any difference.

Murder is murder.

And you know it.

You killed him - problem solved!

I didn't mean for this to happen,
I'm sorry. It's not good enough!

You had no right!

I know that. No, you don't know!
You just...

Look at you! Look what you did!

God, you're a fucking poison!
Sarah, I'm... Just leave me alone.

Just leave me alone! Fuck!

Ahh!

..what happened was... Oh, gosh...

Hi.

Hey!

Um, this is Taki.

Hi. Hi.

Er, these are my friends.

What's up? You want a beer?

How about a haircut?

On the house?

Could I stay with you
for a little bit?

I can't tonight, babe.

Sorry. It's not that
I don't want to, just...

Life, you know?

Sorry, I shouldn't have come here.
Let me finish your hair at least!

It's OK.

Maybe you should go back
to your dad.

I'm sure he's worried about you.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

Last month I was in Japan.

My brother was dead.

I was a faithful husband.

Now I look around and I don't know
what's real and what's not.

I came to London...

..and I met an English woman.

Maybe that's what I know.

I'm not English.

Oh!

I think you need to go and
make sure your daughter's OK.

And do what?

I don't know!

I need to think.

I understand.

We are not bad people...

We just did bad things.

Really, what's the difference?

MUSIC: Fall At Your Feet
by Boy & Bear

# I'm really close tonight

# And I feel like
I'm moving inside her

# I'm lying in the dark

# And I think that I'm beginning
to know her

# Let it go

# I'll be there when you call

# And whenever I fall at your feet

# Whenever I touch
your slow turning pain

# You're hiding from me now... #

SHE SCREAMS

# There's something in the way
that you're talking

# The words don't sound right

# I can hear them
all moving inside her

# Go, I'll be waiting when you call

# Whenever I fall at your feet

# You let your tears rain down on me

# Whenever I touch
your slow turning back... #
