- One what?

An author.

Stupid!

Look after that for Jason.

Hello, Jason. All right?

All right? How are you doing?

Hello, Steve.

- Good night, Sonny.

- Good night, darling.

Ray! I didn't think you was coming.

- No need!

- Nice to see you, Sonny.

Hello, Stevie.

Still in Mensa? Dave just got here an' all.

Dave, get 'em in, will ya?

All right, Steve.

Lovely bit of work.

Dave asked if I wanted a taste, but

I don't know. Maybe I've lost me bottle.

- I don't think so.

- I hope not.

- You haven't seen Connie, have you?

- No.

Gentlemen.

Welcome home, Sonny.

Good to see you home.

- Ray? Can I have a word?

- Sure.

I got a bit of work.

My mate's sister works in a

diamond place in Hatton Garden.

- You'll get collared.

- You don't know.

You had a nice tickle today.

If you're smart, you'll never

go on the pavement again.

I'm 35 years old, Jason.

I was working honest till I was 24.

My first touch was like what you had today.

And Dave told me what I'm

telling you now, but I didn't listen.

I've done five years inside. I could have

earned double driving a van or minicab.

They told me you were staunch.

Being staunch, being solid, is sh*t.

All of it.

Who's that?

I don't know.

He goes out with Dave's daughter.

All right, Dad?

I thought you might want to check in

with Sarah before we went out.

- Where are you off to?

- We're going to a party.

Oh. Are we invited?

I don't think it's exactly

your kind of thing, mate.

Let's go now, Chris. See you later, Dad.

Sarah... stay.

Have a drink with your old dad, eh?

- I don't think so.

- Come here.

You be careful. I mean it.

- I will.

- Give me a kiss.

- Enjoy yourself.

- Don't worry. She's all right with me.

Good night, gents. See you soon, Dave.

Why, he's jealous! Look at him!

He's thinking about the boy

giving Sarah one!

He'll soon be rumping her

in the back of the motor!

- Hello, Connie.

- Stevie!

What have you been up to?

- I see.

- What about you?

The council's closing down the project.

We could have a couple of the kids.

There's room in our house.

My house.

There will be room, when you're gone.

Where am I going, Ray?

Steve, you're gonna have to start

looking after yourself. Understand?

It's not as if we're family or anything.

Now you've got a bit of dough,

we can buy you a little flat, all right?

Ray!

Who is this vision of loveliness

I see before me?

This is Connie.

- Connie!

- Sonny's just come home.

- From where?

- Just finished six and a half out of nine.

Do any of your co-workers

manage to stay out of jail?

No.

I thought getting away with it

was an important part of the job.

You summed it right up there, Connie.

And every time you get
