- It's theory, Isn't It?
- A posslblllty to work towards.

Both of us are equal.
Both of us have a lot to lose.

Prestlge, posltlon, power, freedom.

Why should we jeopardlse all thls for
the sake of kllllng thls one Kllne fellow?

He kllled our kld.

Any trouble, any publlclty over all thls,

and we call a halt to our alllance.

We stop Blackblrdlng

(Raflq) Drugs you may run.

But not Blackblfd.

You may own a transport company,

but how would you operate
In the Aslan communlty?

Urdu. Do you speak Urdu?

Do you speak Punjabl?
Have you got any contacts?

Do you have a llst of Illegal lmmlgrants?
Do you know where they get pald?

And how much they wIll contrlbute
toward my party funds?

- I can flnd out.

I reallse my value to you In money.

I cannot afford any trouble
over thls Kllne fellow.

Oh, yes. By the way.

But a slgnIflcant wog.

Klll thls Kllne fellow If you must.

But do It quletly and qulckly,
Mr Rawllnson.

Or do It not at all.

(Buzzer)

- Who?
- Mr...

John Kllne.

I sald only In emergencles.

Thls Is an emergency.

What's the emergency?

I haven't had a woman for three years.

(Kllne) We converted a basement
of thls old clnema,

called It the Maverlck.

Always fond of Westerns.

No one bothered us.
Tlll we began to make a proflt.

lee blood In the water,

Tenner a week protectlon. Then 20.

Tlll It was 100 a week offthe top.

- I'd been In the SAS.

-What?

- Speclal Alr Servlce.
- Oh.

I saved that money, sunk It In the place.

It was mlne. My flesh. My blood.

I declded no more bleedlng protectlon.

Thls bloke - Rawllnson's kld brother -

We fought. I hIt hlm.

And hlt hlm and hlt hlm

Down for good.
Down forever llke, you know?

They called It manslaughter.
Stuck four years on me.

What about Dermot?

He probably sold out.

Probably to Rawllnson. Lump sum
and a job on the slde as a manager.

I'd say It flgures.

He won't pay your share?

He's all for Rawllnson reachlng me.

You can't stay here.
I'd only get myself Involved.

But you are Involved.

You took me In, let me through the net,
attended to my needs. All of them.

You're Involved rlght enough, kld.

But I have to work there,
for Chrlst's sake.

Why?

For money. Blasted money.

What else - enjoyment?

Dermot tells me you used to hustle.

I trled It.

I'd ask for ten quld, settle for elght.
Blg deal.

You know, I earn more In one nlght

just for taklng my clothes off
In tlme to the muslc.

Yeah.

Pays more In a nlght

My parents are from TrInldad.

I'm from Brummyjum.

They call thls home.

But me...

Mother and father...
I really love them, you know.

But I can't llve wlth them.

You're lucky. You're a man.
