Brian and Charlie ultimately come up with a plan to betray their gang and flee the UK, whilst robbing a Triad gang of their illgotten money through drug dealing. However, Casey, no longer trusting Brian and Charlie, plans to eliminate them at the same time, ordering his hit men, Abbott and Morley, to kill them during the Triad gang robbery. Faith, having overheard all about the plan, tries to remove Brian from the scene, but fails. Brian and Charlies plan to rob the Triads and flee, goes well until their car runs out of petrol, as Charlie had forgotten to refill it. They flee the Triads, Abbott and Morley on foot and hide in a nunnery, later dressing up as Nuns and introducing themselves to the Sister Superior, Liz Janet Suzman as Sisters Euphemia Brian and Inviolata Charlie. When Casey comes to know about their backstabbing, he becomes enraged and places a bounty on Brian and Charlies heads.Faith, who witnessed the gunfight and saw Brian and Charlie enter the nunnery, goes to the nunnery to find them, but she is taken to the infirmary after Sister Liz notices a gunshot wound on Faiths arm inflicted by Morley, who wanted to silence her. Brian spots her and visits Faith in her room, but in wanting her to leave them alone for her safety, he tells her that he is married. Faith lets slip that she is going to the church to confess. Brian, worried that the priest, Father Seamus, may advise Faith to go to the police, enlists Charlies help in distracting Father Seamus long enough for Brian to impersonate him. During the confession, Faith admits that she does love Brian, with the latter advising her to keep her trap shut. However, as Faith leaves the church, the Triads who have been waiting outside, abduct her in their van and interrogate her about their stolen money. Faith tells them that Casey will most likely have it, as Brian and Charlie worked for him. The Triads release her, but she bumps into a pole and bangs her head when she falls over, ending up in the hospital. .
