Why did each character get £4000 during the deal if Mark put in £2000 upfront?
In Trainspotting, why did each character get £4,000 during the deal if Mark put in £2,000 upfront? From the £16,000 they got surely they wouldn't each get £4k if Mark contributed £2k to buy the gear from Swanny's friend?
And how did Spud know to go to the locker to get his share left by Mark at the end?

Because SickBoy and Begbie are sociopaths - and Begbie is prone to violent outbursts. Renton didn't even want to be involved in the deal, but did so out of fear and for the same reason agreed to the unfair split.
And how did Spud know to go to the locker to get his share left by Mark at the end?
Obviously, Renton got a message and the key to Spud after he had put the money in there.

Why does Renton steal the money?
Overall, the main idea is that Renton has undergone sufficient growth to recognize his bad behaviors and wants to move on to a normal life, and doesn't believe he can do that without enough money to escape and without separating from his friends.How much money did Renton leave spud?
While getting some rest at a hotel room, Renton decides to take the money and leave. He leaves \xa32,000 in a safety deposit box for Spud to collect. Begbie violently destroys the hotel room after learning Renton has betrayed them, which gets him arrested by the police. Meanwhile, Renton walks away to start a new life.How Every Character Got Their Vision
