Hmm.

Pfft. Shame on you.

OK. OK. You got me.

I'm pot less.

So, why did you tell my

We're f*cked now.

I was working on a few things,
almost there with my land, I just...

I just didn't want my brother
to think I was a skint boat.

Yeah.

But the truth is
you're on the floor,

you're singing in bars,

and you're squatting

Please don't tell your dad.

What?

Tone.

Those 96 acres of field we
drove through. Your land.

Is that all bullshit, too? No,
no. That's the one thing I own.

Then, why don't you sell it?

it makes me a millionaire.

Yet you're still a pub singer.

Because there's one
field I don't own.

Two and a half acres standing
in the way of my dream.

And we're stood on it. Oh,
do me a f*cking favour.

So, why don't you own it?

Remember that fella
from the club, Ernesto?

He owns it.

We were gonna do a deal,
until he went cold on me.

He's the only thing standing
between me and a load-a readies.

Oh, well, you know what,

maybe you can grow
some potatoes instead.

Maybe you could disappear?
I'd love to, believe me.

It can be arranged.
Yeah. Try me, c**t.

Cind!

(CHUCKLES)

There you go. One
for the hat, Tone...

Mug. Let me know when
you're done with this joker.

Tone.

Who are those kids?

They're f*cking gypsies.

I'll get shot of them
when I want. It's my land.

You see it, don't you, Gene?

There's a fortune in this
land. You want cash? Help me.

You know you were always
my favourite, don't yeah?

I never cared for the
rest of our family.

My brother, he's bitter
and bent out of shape,

and the rest are two-bob.

Me and you...

I love you, kid.

(SLOW, DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Listen, Cind. I know
he's not for you,

but you're just gonna
have to trust me, alright?

Cos I know what I'm doing.

And we've run out
of options now.

See that police
officer you ran into?

Yeah.

He's dead, baby.

We're never going home.

I'm sorry.

Come here.

(SOBS)

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

We're gonna be OK.

There's something here
for us, on this land.

I can feel it.

I've got an idea.

Just trust me.

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

Excuse me, Senor?

Ernesto right? Si.

Speak English? Hmm.

You need something? I'm just
gonna be straight with you.

I'm the nephew of, Tony Lord.

Please. Not in my tennis club.

I apologise, but I wanted
to introduce myself to you.

Very happy to meet you, just
don't mention your uncle, OK?

OK, look. I know...

I know he's not for
everyone, but I'm not him.

I'm simply asking for a
few minutes of your time.

What for?

To convince me he's
a nice guy? Never.

I know he's not.

But I think he undervalued
the land you own,

it's worth a lot more.

And if you'll allow me
to demonstrate this...

Look, amigo.

You know, I live a
comfortable life.

I don't need to deal
with a puta like Tony.

OK?

Mister Ralveras.

What if it was us
you dealt with?

And why should I believe you?

Because I feel the
same way about Tony.

The man is a puta.

But we see the
opportunity. For all of us.

It could be millions.

Hey, think about it.

You can reach us at the Villa
that Tony claims is his,

but everyone knows
is a complete lie.

Just like everything
in his life.

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

Come on, Cind.

(BRIGHT MUSIC)

If he calls, we do a deal.

We could parcel that
whole section off.

I make it ten acres.

You offer it to Ernesto.
An olive branch.

You mad? He owns a donkey field.

You're f*cked anyway,
he's not gonna call.

I mean... (INHALES
SHARPLY) why would he?

Look at the state of
you, you're shot to bits.

Shut it. (SCOFFS)

f*ck this. I'm gonna lie down.

Whatever you offer needs to be
so generous he can't say no.

It's called speculation.

DON'T patronise me, Gene,
I know what it's called.

And yet you still don't
own the donkey field.

(SLOW, FOREBODING MUSIC)

(INSECTS CHITTER)

Hello, girl.
(BREATHES SHARPLY)

Don't f*cking creep up on me.

It's time you started
showing me some respect.

Know what this is?

An invitation?

You want it?

A bit of my Jack and Danni.

Take it.

Pfft.

You think you can hurt me?

I've had things done to me that
would give you f*cking nightmares.

I see you coming a mile off.

Big hat, no cattle.

You've got no idea who
you are dealing with.

Relax, girl, won't hurt.

Cross me again...

and every time you
look in the mirror

and see the stitches
holding your face together,

you will remember me.

You'd better make
it count, girl.

'Cause you'll only try once.
