It's old people who fought for our country! I'm not talking about robbing them personally, just the bar. And those old guys do drink a lot. No. We wait. And starve in the meantime? No one's fucking starving, OK? our wives are all earning money. And you might be OK with that, but some of us aren't. And how come you get to be the one who says no, huh?

Yeah, that'll fly in court (!) Meanwhile, Munroe claims he was out walking his dog when a mob of drunk ex-servicemen, mistaking him for a robber, assaulted him and then shot him in the buttock when he tried to flee.

We did it cos we're on the bones of our arse. You keep saying the South African money's gonna be here. Yeah, and it will be, and I know where, and I know when. We've been waiting all this time, and just when we're about to go, you go and pull a fucking stunt like this. I know. I should've listened to you, Ted. I got a bullet in the arse to prove that. Hand on heart, I'm sorry, Ted. If we didn't need you for this job, you'd be fucking gone. Do you get that? Do you understand that? Yeah, I do. You've got one shot to make this right, one shot. I know. And I won't let you down, mate. BIRDS CHIRP BOTTLES CLINK NEWMATICS' 'JUDAS' # Judas... How did you do it? Oh, Lefty played his part too. I'll give you Ted West. You made him a nark? No, he offered up his mate, just like that, to save himself. How'd you get off? Thought you'd do time for sure. Cops. They're fucking bozos. But if you go after Ted, then Rita will go` I'm not going after Ted. All I want Lefty to tell me is exactly where the gang are gonna be, on what day and at what time. For example, right now, I know they're drinking in Ted's backyard. And they'll be there for some time. To all of us, united. Never to be split again. I'll drink to that. I'll drink to the South African job, soon to be done and dusted. Yeah! Thank God for that. SKA MUSIC CONTINUES Hello? MUSIC CONTINUES # Time spans the ages... Oh, hey, here he is. You wanted to see me? Yeah. Go get us some brandy, sweetheart. # I knock him down, # wipe the sweat upon my brow... I got a nice little job for you if you want it. Fancy a trip up to the winterless north? I go where you tell me to. Tuesday week, I need a driver to take some people up to Whangarei. Watch the game against North Auckland, < and then take them out on a little boat trip they've organised. OK. They're bastards, by the way. South Africans. Complete arseholes of men. # The fact of the matter is Judas is getting bold... What are you doing Tuesday week? I have no idea. I don't plan that far ahead. Why? I'm going up north for a bit, and you ` you need to be somewhere else. Like where? Nowhere near this place. SKA MUSIC CONTINUES Lefty. He had it coming. He did. Yeah. MUSIC CONTINUES I don't know ` maybe the gang,... maybe it's had its day. Maybe there's a new way ` me, you, the boy. The Wests against the rest? I like that. # 12 pieces of silver in the sands below the town. # It's all clockwork from here on in. Evan's still gonna suspect me. But he won't be able to prove it. The rest is you being able to look him in the eye and deny everything. They're, maggots, wolf. They deserve what's coming, and they don't deserve your pity. Time to load up! Time to get this show on the road. ALL SHOUT Were you sleeping with her, Wolf? Were you fucking her?
