(SNORING)

Hey.

You're snoring.

-No, I wasn't.

-Yes, you were. He always snored.

(WAIT PLAYING ON RADIO)

Where are we?

Canterbury. We're close.

Anyone know

if there's a hotel around here?

What?

Julian promised me a little bit of action.

You still like it in the afternoon?

So what did you do? Rob a train?

Blow up a building?

Leave the girl alone.

You told me he was suave.

Wanker's a drunk.

He's suave. You should have seen him

in the old days when he was a real activist.

You were the activist,

I just wanted to get laid.

One time the police came

to throw us out of our squat

and Theo invited them up for coffee

to negotiate,

only the coffee was spiked with ketamine.

No! You didn't, did you?

F*** off. You gotta be kidding.

You know how many people

I've tried this with?

I don't wanna know.

You'll be happy to know

out of the hundreds...

-Hundreds?

-...you are still the only one.

-I'm not doing it.

-Yes, you are.

-No, I'm not. The car's moving too much.

-Yes, you are. Yes, you are.

You are. Ready?

(ALL LAUGHING)

Thelonius!

No, wait, wait. Okay.

KEE:
Do it again! Do it again!

Julian, that's disgusting!

Look out!

LUKE:
Jesus! Sh*t!

JULIAN:
Go! Go! We're gonna make it.

Come on, we're gonna make it.

No, I'm not gonna make it!

I'm not gonna make it!

-Christ!

-Back up! Back up now!

Jesus!

Oh, save us!

Save us in our hour of need!

Blessed Mary, save us.

(GLASS SHATTERING)

Christ, Jesus!

-He's got a gun!

-Cover Kee!

Get down!

Oh, my God!

She's been shot! F***. She's been shot.

-How is she? How is she?

-THEO:
She's bleeding!

She's bleeding, she's bleeding everywhere!

Sh*t! Julian.

Put pressure on the wound!

Please, please, please.

Please, please.

LUKE:
Oh, no.

Oh, no.

THEO:
Julian...

Jesus Christ!

THEO:
Julian!

LUKE:
It's the cops. It's the cops.

Did they see us?

Keep going. Speed up.

LUKE:
Are they coming back?

What's happening?

Faster! Faster!

-Are they coming back?

-I don't know. Just go faster!

Can't you pull off the road?

(SCREAMS)

-All right, slow down. Slow down!

-I can't outrun them. I can't outrun them.

-COP ON LOUDSPEAKER: Stop the car.

-I gotta stop. I gotta stop.

Pull over to the side of the road.

Stop the car!

Get your passports out!

COP:
Stay inside the vehicle!

LUKE:
We're British citizens!

We're British citizens!

-British citizens!

-Hands on the steering wheel!

Hands on the steering wheel!

Calm down. Tell me what happened!

We were attacked!

We gotta take her to a hospital.

Okay. Just wait.

I'm gonna call for assistance.

What are you doing? What are you doing?

-Get in the car.

-Why did you do that?
