Flares

The friends bury Tiny Blair but are scared when the villa suffers a power cut and flares are fired and believe the Serbs are trying to intimidate them. Maria comes to the villa next day but Woody has his doubts as to whether she really is a detective. However footage from the camcorder proves not only that Alvo was,as suspected,a drug smuggler but that he was dealing,not with Serbian gangsters but corrupt police officers - including Maria,whom Quinn shoots dead as she tries to kill them. Lottie brings the car and everybody decides to return home,except Quinn,who will use most of the drug money to start a new life on the island. But no sooner has the car driven off than Dominic,the corrupt officer in charge of the drugs racket turns up at the villa.

Having made a dubious fortune in property and retired, Alvo invites his four best school friends for a private holiday in his villa on Mallorca. Baxter, Woody, Quinn have a great time, especially teacher Rick, who despite a happy marriage goes all the way for a local harlot. Yet they feel progressively debased as Alvo, who rages at the telephone to business contacts, keeps referring to the mates' wasted opportunities, and drags them along on a mission to 'borrow' and abandon the yacht of his hostile neighbor, a Serbian mobster. The next morning, a man in a TonyBlair mask fatally shoots Alvo at breakfast.

All hell breaks loose as first one and then a group of killers in Tony Blair masks pursue the quartet and Carmen is accidentally killed in the melee. It becomes evident that these are the drug smugglers from Majorca out for murderous revenge and the boys are pursued to a beach. Here however they encounter even more gangsters who hood them and force them onto their knees ready to be shot. It looks as if the mad dogs are finally going to be put down.
