00:28Tim?
00:28Yes, I can hear you.
00:29Tim, she's back.
00:31Hello, she's stopped outside the bank.
00:32She's filling in her purse for something.
00:35No, no, it's okay.
00:36She was just getting her keys out, that's all.
00:38Pub must be locked, I suppose.
00:40Well, that's all.
00:43Anybody with her?
00:45No, she's on her own.
00:47She's all right.
00:48Leave her alone.
00:49Hey, Dick, she won't be able to see you from the window, will she?
00:52Her window.
00:54What, you mean when she gets inside?
00:55No, no chance.
00:56She won't be able to see me out the window.
00:57I'm right on top of her room.
00:58It's a pretty upfront fire of, is it?
01:02It's going to be a bloody lonely up here all night, you know?
01:04You stay put.
01:06Remind us just before the pub opens and we'll keep it quiet down here.
01:09And Dick,
01:10keep the chat down.
01:12Never know who might be listening.
01:13Yeah, right.
01:14No, no.
01:14I know who might be listening.
01:18All castings are going to appear.
01:19There are all castings are going to appear.
01:21Let's go.
01:51You're nine minutes late.
01:53That pub will be full of punters in 31 minutes.
01:57But get these down here and get on with it.
01:59Don't look like that, son.
02:01You ain't started yet.
02:21I want accurate times at every stage when I'm as late already.
02:48I don't want the time made up as soon as possible.
02:51Remember what I said at the briefing.
02:53This operation is too important politically to take any risks.
02:59Ah, well done, Sergeant.
03:01I don't think there's much doubt, is there?
03:03No, it's Cyrus Long, all right.
03:05You think she's in on it, sir?
03:07Get hold of Inspector Jack Regan for me, will you?
03:10He might be able to help us out.
03:11Do we have to bring the school in, sir?
03:14At one time it seems they were contemplating marriage.
03:17Now, we're not going to let a little wreck like that go to waste, are we, Sergeant?
03:21No.
03:22I want Regan here five minutes ago.
03:23I really appreciate this, Sergeant.
03:34I was going to be spending a dull afternoon watching Fulham play.
03:39Can't we go any faster?
03:41My governor likes people to be punctual.
03:43How long have you worked for Superintendent Grant?
03:45Six months.
03:46Well, my money is the best superintendent to DS could have.
03:48There is a certain amount of wastage amongst his personnel.
03:52What?
03:53I mean, his men keep dying on him.
03:54It's pretty dangerous working for ground, isn't it?
03:56We have the highest arrest rate in the men.
03:58Yeah, cardiac arrest.
04:00Criticism is something the governor encourages.
04:03Sometimes I think he's his own worst enemy.
04:05Not while I'm around.
04:18Regan, Governor.
04:35Congratulations on your latest medal.
04:37Decoration.
04:38Sit down.
04:40Well, it was good of you to volunteer.
04:43Volunteer?
04:44For the operation.
04:45Wouldn't, uh, Jelinek fill you in?
04:50Ah, just as well.
04:51The situation has developed since then.
04:53Don't tell me it's dangerous.
04:55It presents a certain physical challenge.
04:57How well do you know a woman called Iris Long?
05:01I gather you used to see quite a lot of her.
05:05What does that mean?
05:06She's involved in this right up to her neck.
05:09There's a bank rate going on, Regan.
05:12And I'd like to have the Sergeant fill you in.
05:14One, two, three, two, four.
05:18Are you back on patrol?
05:19The woman Long lives above a pub, here,
05:23next to the National Anglia Bank.
05:25The raiders are already inside the bank.
05:28They've established a three-way radio link
05:30between the bank, the leader, who we call Control,
05:33and a sort of super scout
05:34who's ensconced somewhere on the roof.
05:36We've codenamed him Eagle.
05:38Eagle?
05:39That's nice, isn't it?
05:40They've been inside the bank since early this morning.
05:45They came out of Long's window at the top of the pub,
05:48and they entered the bank across the roof.
05:51They've neutralised the alarms,
05:53and now we think they're working in the vaults.
05:56We're monitoring their radio.
05:58Now, we want someone who can get into Long's room
06:01and stay there without arising suspicion.
06:05Someone like me.
06:06Yes.
06:07Well, you know the lady, don't you?
06:08We want to cut off Chummy's exit
06:10while we get on with the serious business
06:12of locating control.
06:14That's what these lads are doing now.
06:15And how long's that going to take?
06:18Three hours at the most.
06:20You're going down there straight away.
06:21Now, just a minute, Governor.
06:24If you know they're inside,
06:26winkle them up.
06:27Now.
06:29Well, that's what your crime squad's all about, isn't it?
06:31And what about their leader?
06:33What about control?
06:34Well, you pick the gaffer up later, don't you?
06:36That's always the way.
06:37But he's not going to hang about
06:38while we're arresting his friends, is he?
06:40We're going to miss the biggest fish,
06:41and there's something else besides.
06:44That bank doesn't carry enough cash
06:46to warrant an operation of this size.
06:48They're after something in the safe deposit boxes, aren't they?
06:51Something very big.
06:53And I'm going to wait until they've got it
06:55before I nick them.
06:57That way we'll all know what it is
06:58we've been protecting, won't we?
07:01And you become a hero.
07:04Not at my expense.
07:06What about Long?
07:07Iris Long is someone I knew years ago.
07:09She's nothing to do with me now.
07:11No, this is just another of your crackpot schemes
07:13that sent many a keen young jack to his grave.
07:16Well, I'm having nothing to do with it.
07:18Nothing.
07:19All you have to do is stay in that room
07:21with your lady friend.
07:22And while you're there,
07:23they won't risk leaving the bank.
07:25Just give us two closing time.
07:27Oh, closing time now, is it?
07:29We'll have located control by then.
07:31It may have escaped your notice,
07:33but half a dozen men armed to the teeth
07:35are likely to come through the window
07:36before closing time.
07:38And I'm likely to be blown out of that room
07:40like a cork out of a bottle.
07:43I'm fine for this if it makes you feel any better.
07:45Yes, it does make me feel better.
07:50You want to pull up here, sir?
07:51Oh, no, no, right outside the pub.
07:54Open the door as I get out.
07:56Give me a salute and play God Save the Queen.
07:58You're vegan, by the way.
08:06I want you to find out
08:07if the landlord's in on this.
08:08Don't worry, I've got men posted
08:10round each corner.
08:11Bullets don't travel round corners, do they?
08:14Oh, by the way,
08:15does the local link know what's going on here?
08:17No, not yet.
08:19Just till closing time.
08:20Stay on the alert, won't you?
08:21Such men were sent
08:25to try our patience, Jelinek.
08:47Georgie?
08:48Come and have a look at this.
08:49What do you think?
08:57Ten minutes?
08:58Go on.
09:19Squad office, Sergeant Carter.
09:26George, this is the D.I.
09:28Listen, I'm outside a pub
09:30on the corner of Wollstone Gardens.
09:32In a minute, I shall be upstairs
09:33with a girl I know.
09:34Draw yourself a pistol
09:36and get down here with a friend.
09:38Someone who can shoot straight.
09:40Grant's mob are here,
09:41but the locals haven't been informed.
09:43And neither of them know about you,
09:44so be careful.
09:45You'll be caught in crossfire.
09:46Charming.
09:47What's going on?
09:48There's a bank screwing going on.
09:49Right next door to the pub.
09:51I see.
09:51I want you to sit in the bar
09:52till closing time,
09:53if necessary,
09:54and do nothing
09:55till I scream, right?
09:56Right, gotcha.
09:57So long.
09:58Bertenshaw!
10:16Hey, Jerry!
10:17Yeah?
10:19Look, get yourself a gun.
10:20You're working.
10:21Terrific.
10:21Terrific.
10:21Terrific.
10:21Terrific.
10:28I'm looking for Iris.
10:31Iris Sloan, you know Iris.
10:33I'm a friend of hers.
10:35What's your name?
10:37Regan.
10:43There's a fella here called Regan.
10:46Is it Jack Regan?
10:48He says yes.
10:51Right.
10:54Top of the stairs,
10:55first on the right.
10:56Give us a bundle of scotch, will you?
10:58She doesn't drink scotch.
10:59I do.
11:013.31.
11:22Come in, Jack.
11:26There's no ice,
11:39unless you can mend the fridge.
11:40Who's your friend?
11:58None of your business.
12:05A nice view.
12:06On a clear day,
12:08you see Centrepoint.
12:12That's nice, isn't it?
12:13Yeah.
12:15Do you know somebody's made it?
12:18How have you been keeping, Jack?
12:20Must be nearly four years.
12:22More like ten.
12:24What rank do they dignify you with now?
12:27Inspector.
12:29What are you doing tonight?
12:31Going out.
12:32Call him.
12:32Tell him he's off.
12:33No, I can't.
12:34Not tonight.
12:36Call, sir.
12:37If you want to make an appointment.
12:39What?
12:40I'd do it for money these days.
12:43What are you trying to do?
12:43Impress me.
12:45I'm trying to say no, gracefully.
12:48You live in a bedsitter above a pub.
12:51The landlord didn't lose his licence before you struck me.
12:54Are you turning this place over?
12:56Yeah.
12:56Do you mind?
12:58You haven't changed, have you?
13:00You come in here swinging a bottle of scotch.
13:04You are in trouble.
13:06Do you know that?
13:08The last time I had a place turned over,
13:10I was with this posh John in St John's Wood.
13:13Nearly rhymed, didn't it?
13:15The doorbell rings,
13:17and he goes down to answer it.
13:19There are these two six-foot geezers
13:21with size 12 boots on.
13:22You know who we are, they're saying,
13:24while we're here.
13:25Yeah, he says, only I wasn't expecting you so soon.
13:28Do come in.
13:29Then the John comes up to me.
13:31I honestly says, I want you to leave.
13:33You know who they are, I says.
13:35Yeah, he says, they're masons.
13:36You see, I've applied to join,
13:38and they've sent out a couple of their committee.
13:40Do leave off, I says.
13:42They're not masons.
13:44Look, just get dressed, he says,
13:45and go out the back way.
13:46Now, just at this moment,
13:48the everyone comes in.
13:49Oh, John says, this is my wife.
13:52Can I see all dirty laundry, he says,
13:54without blinking.
13:55My laundry?
13:57Yeah, your underpants.
13:59Now, look, the John says,
14:00don't get me wrong,
14:01and I don't want to seem discurped,
14:02but I don't see what becoming a mason
14:04has got to do with my underpants.
14:09Mister, the big one says,
14:12we are not masons,
14:13we are CID,
14:15and we are investigating a rape case
14:17in which you are a prime suspect,
14:19suspect.
14:20At which,
14:21my John faints.
14:22That geezer didn't rape anyone,
14:24I says,
14:25spraining with aftershave.
14:27Where's the laundry?
14:28That's all, they say.
14:29Try the bathroom, I says.
14:32So they go out to the bathroom.
14:34I've never seen them again.
14:37I reckon they left through the sewers.
14:41Where's your bathroom, Iris?
14:42Straight down the hall.
14:43And hurry up.
14:52Because I'm going out.
14:55Listen,
14:55I don't know who he is.
14:58He said his name was Regan,
14:59and she said she knew him.
15:00That's all.
15:02Right.
15:05The cinema was so hot,
15:07I fell asleep, you see.
15:08Now, the film went round.
15:09When I woke up,
15:10it was exactly the same place
15:12as when I went to sleep.
15:13I can't have a lie.
15:13Yeah, so I watched it to the end,
15:15then I went out into the street,
15:16it was pitch black.
15:18I thought a gun did, though.
15:22How much longer are you going to be, Georgie?
15:23Two minutes.
15:24Well, I hope so.
15:25Time's going.
15:26Jim.
15:27The man.
15:29Keep going, Georgie.
15:30One, one, one, one.
15:32And dealing for me.
15:34Key.
15:36I can't see a message.
15:37I can't see a message.
15:37I can't see a message here.
15:40Jim.
15:40Oh, Jim.
15:42Yes, Jim here.
15:43At last, listen carefully.
15:45Someone's with that girl in her room.
15:46The landlord just phoned me.
15:47Who is it?
15:48The fool doesn't know.
15:49I want you to find out.
15:51All right, stick here.
15:52Look, I can take a look if you like.
15:54No, your job is to stay exactly where you are
15:56and watch the streets.
15:57Don't move unless I tell you.
15:58Is that clear?
15:59Yeah, got it.
16:00Yeah.
16:02Jim, go up on the pop roof yourself
16:04and take a look in the girl's window.
16:05Let me know who it is in that room.
16:07Don't get yourself spotted, understand?
16:08All right.
16:14I'm going up on the roof.
16:15Give me my coat and the shooter.
16:17And Georgie, you keep going.
16:19Right.
16:19Right.
16:19Go up on the roof.
16:232, generations, 2, 3.
16:24All now to put a move of theesh.
16:251, 3.
16:262, 1, 3.
16:272, 2, 2.
16:272, 3.
16:281, 1, 3.
16:289.
16:29Ampe over.
16:34Right.
16:35Out.
16:352, 1, 2, 1.
16:371, 1, 3.
16:381, 2.
16:391, 3.
16:401, 3.
16:401, 3.
16:412.
16:422, 1, 3.
16:432.
16:441, 2.
16:451, 2.
16:47You notice I'm not eating?
17:10I just want you to realise I've cooked this meal under protest.
17:13As far as I'm concerned, I'm being kept here against my will.
17:16Have you ever heard of Superintendent Grant, Serious Crime Squad?
17:20No.
17:22He's got you marked.
17:24What as?
17:25Someone with big-time criminal connections.
17:28He's right.
17:29He's not a very pleasant man to know.
17:32Doesn't like women.
17:34One of those.
17:35I put him in the same class as Jack the Ripper.
17:41You're not sitting in a comfy chair.
17:44I can't see the tally.
17:46You can't see the window, either.
17:48You keep looking at that window.
17:52I think it started to rain.
17:54Has it?
17:55Yeah.
17:58What do you keep looking at that window for?
18:00I thought I saw someone outside it, that's all.
18:04It's the cat from the dairy.
18:07Poor thing.
18:08It would be soaking.
18:09Why don't you let it in, then?
18:10You know, this Superintendent Grant, he thinks there's a bank rate going on next door.
18:20He says that half a tonne of equipment was seen manoeuvring itself out of your window early this morning.
18:27He was wondering if there could be a connection.
18:29Oh, and he sent you round to see if there was?
18:31Is.
18:32They're still in there.
18:34Oh.
18:35And I thought this was going to be a social occasion.
18:39In some ways it is.
18:40I told him to stuff it.
18:44Till your name came up.
18:46Oh, do leave off, Jack.
18:49You wouldn't cross the street to say hello to me if I lay naked on a zebra crossing.
18:53Don't pretend to be what you're not.
18:55All right, you tell me why I'm here.
18:56Because you wanted to combine business with pleasure.
18:59That's plain, isn't it?
19:00Look, Iris, the world does not revolve round your body.
19:03This bloke Galileo proved it goes round the sun.
19:06And what's more, I'm no longer the despised aide to CID that was when I knew you.
19:10I don't need it every afternoon anymore.
19:12And you don't get it either, do you?
19:14Ball, pot belly, double chin.
19:17Most coppers get like that.
19:18You've been conducting a survey.
19:19My sister told me that.
19:20Yeah, all the ones that Millie knows are like that.
19:22You know, if she shaved my ears off her chest and put a frock on my neck.
19:25Oh, I don't know what I have. I saw in you.
19:26You saw free food, free pictures and a hoped-for fur coat.
19:30And was it worth it?
19:3218 months of you, where did that get me?
19:48What did they pay you to stay out of the room till lunchtime?
19:52Ten quid.
19:54You need a good agent.
19:56This job wouldn't be going off if there wasn't at least 50 grand in it.
20:00Look, all this man asked was if I'd rent my room for an hour.
20:05Who was it?
20:05I don't know.
20:06Some Henry in the bar.
20:07Look, will you stop going on about Henrys and Johns and stop pretending you're on the bloody game?
20:12You'd like to be, but you don't have the application.
20:14There's one thing I've never done.
20:21Made a man happy.
20:24There's one thing I've never understood.
20:25It's how you can make remarks like that stone-cold sober.
20:30How long have you known him?
20:32Who?
20:32The guy who gave you the ten.
20:35I just met him.
20:37Where?
20:37Downstairs.
20:39The landlord introduced us.
20:41How old is he?
20:44About 40.
20:46Going to seed.
20:47Not what I'd call attractive, but he had plenty of money.
20:51What does he do for a living?
20:52I don't know.
20:53He's just some Henry.
20:54He knows the landlord?
20:56Yeah.
20:56I think he might.
20:59Sometimes when I'm coming through, he'll ask me if I'll have a drink.
21:02Who?
21:02To Henry?
21:02I thought you didn't want to call him Henry.
21:04All right.
21:05This geezer, then.
21:06They both buy me drinks.
21:07And they give you a tenner?
21:0820.
21:0920?
21:1010 for now and 10 for later.
21:12You mean 10 for going out and 10 for coming back?
21:14I don't know, Jack.
21:15Do I?
21:16Well, do you?
21:19Keep quiet.
21:23God, Miley, what are you doing with that thing?
21:25I'm a copper, aren't I?
21:27You leave that poor cat alone.
21:30That's not a bloody cat.
21:32You leave that poor cat.
21:33Let's go.
21:34You leave that poor cat.
21:38You leave that poor cat.
21:38All alone, you have to be my body.
21:44You'll never die to be near me.
21:47No, you don't have to be near me.
21:51I'm a copper, aren't I?
21:53You leave that poor cat.
21:54There's someone on the roof.
22:15What do you mean?
22:16There's a bloke.
22:17There's someone on the roof.
22:18Where'd he come from?
22:20Out of the window.
22:22Out the window.
22:23He come out the window.
22:24Pull yourself together.
22:25That's Jim.
22:26No, Jim's here.
22:27Jim's here too.
22:29Right, now listen carefully.
22:30Stay exactly where you are and keep out of sight.
22:32Is that clear?
22:32Yeah, but he's got a gun.
22:34Right, Jim.
22:35What the devil is he doing on the roof?
22:37Tell the neck.
22:38Make a notice to keep off the roof.
22:39Yes, sir.
22:40We're getting a different bearing on the controller again, sir.
22:43This one is out by 80 degrees.
22:45Sergeant, are you saying that controller's using different radio sets?
22:48No, sir.
22:49It's more likely he's mobile.
22:51I'd say he was operating from a car.
22:54This is Jim.
22:55I've been having a look round up here.
22:56I reckon she's got a customer with her.
22:58Customer with a gun?
23:00I don't know anything about that.
23:02I didn't see no gun.
23:04What I do know is he's going back in.
23:07Right.
23:08Radio silence until he's gone.
23:09I'll leave my shooter up here with Dick.
23:33Have another look through that window.
23:34And if he's harmless, get back in the back.
23:36You're behind schedule.
23:38Right.
23:46Sergeant, if control is in a car,
23:49how long will it take to locate him?
23:51If he's in a car, sir, it could take all night.
23:54I don't think we've got all night.
23:55He must not be sidetracked by roof walkers or anybody else.
23:58Unless they're really dangerous.
24:06Are you sure they're robbing a bank?
24:09Yeah.
24:10I told you.
24:12What bank?
24:14That one next door, I told you.
24:17Oh, I know you told me.
24:19I just don't believe you.
24:25What were you doing on the phone?
24:27What phone?
24:29I saw you through the window when I was coming back.
24:33I was telling my boyfriend I couldn't come out
24:36on account if I had a cold.
24:39Here.
24:41I thought he was chasing bank robbers, not spying on me.
24:43Yeah, where's my gun?
24:45In the dishwasher.
24:46You put it in the dishwasher?
24:48It was filthy.
24:51What are you trying to do?
24:56That's government property.
24:58Ah!
24:59Ah!
25:00What is it?
25:01Face at the window.
25:02Where are you going?
25:02Yeah, the police.
25:03Get your hands off me.
25:04I am the police.
25:06I told you about the face in the window, remember?
25:09Just act naturally and you'll go away.
25:10Oh, he won't.
25:11Yes, he will.
25:12Oh, he won't.
25:13Yes, he will.
25:15Oh.
25:21Will he?
25:22Yes.
25:25Yeah.
25:25It's all right.
25:31Is that in the course of duty?
25:34You've ruined my pistol.
25:36Do you know that?
25:41Why's that phone?
25:43Right out on the landing.
25:44Hello?
26:06PHONE RINGS
26:08PHONE RINGS
26:10Hello?
26:12Inspector who?
26:16A bloke here wants a copper.
26:18Inspector Regal.
26:24Old bin all over the place!
26:26Get back! Police!
26:28Hello? Regan?
26:30Looks as if someone's gonna fetch him, sir.
26:32Good.
26:34It's open all over the place!
26:36It's a police!
26:38It's a police!
26:40I tell you, it's a police!
26:42There, you!
26:44I saw that!
26:52Look, you!
26:54Good boy!
27:04Get that one!
27:06After him!
27:08Right!
27:10Get that one!
27:12After him!
27:14Right!
27:16Hey!
27:17Hey!
27:18Hey!
27:19Hey!
27:20Hey!
27:21Hey!
27:22Hey!
27:23Hey!
27:24Hey!
27:25Hey!
27:26Hey!
27:27Hey!
27:28Hey!
27:29Hey!
27:30Hey!
27:31Hey!
27:32Get that one!
27:33After him!
27:34Right, coach!
27:35Hey!
27:36Hey!
27:37Hey!
27:38Hey!
27:39Hey!
27:40Hold that.
27:41Stop!
27:42The police!
27:43Hold that.
27:44Hold that up.
27:45Hold that.
27:47Hold your locket off.
27:48Hold that.
27:49Hold that!
27:50Hold it.
27:51Hold that.
27:52Hold the police.
27:53Come on!
27:54Hold that.
27:55Hold on.
27:56Come on!
27:57Oh!
28:02What else I can do for you, Gav?
28:04Get the old man upstairs.
28:05Just a minute! Who the hell are you?
28:07And him!
28:08Hey! Hey, man! Get the police!
28:11Hold on.
28:13Sergeant Carter!
28:18I thought we didn't say anything about the squad being involved in it.
28:21Get him to the ambulance.
28:22Yeah, ambulance.
28:23Please and ambulance.
28:25All right, sir?
28:37All right, Dick here.
28:38Where have you been?
28:39There seems to be some sort of asshole down in the pub.
28:41What do you mean? Does it hold the land?
28:45Well, I don't know.
28:46I mean, it's just some kind of fight, punch-up down in the pub.
28:48Two fellas run out, went round the back. One of them got punched stupid.
28:51That's all I know.
28:53I suppose it is Saturday night, isn't it?
28:55I mean, I don't know.
28:57I've got it.
28:58No, I don't know.
28:59Yeah, I don't know.
29:00I don't know.
29:00I don't know.
29:01I don't know.
29:01Go ahead, Dick.
29:02I don't know.
29:03I don't know.
29:04I don't know.
29:04Oh, man.
29:05I'm sorry, Regan. I thought you'd have had the phone pretty well covered.
29:26What do you want me to cover? The window or the phone?
29:30Hello, Regan. What's the problem?
29:32What in hell's name made you ring me here?
29:33Regan, I'm sure you have the situation under control.
29:36I want you to know what the situation is here. We now believe control is mobile.
29:39He's in some sort of vehicle.
29:41It's going to take us a few more hours yet to locate him.
29:43What?
29:44I want you to stay there until such time as we do so.
29:48I don't think we'll be needing your bottles. Get in there and help them.
29:59Hurry up with that. You've got all these to open yet.
30:03Hang a bell!
30:10I think I've found it.
30:11What about the girl?
30:12She will stay with you.
30:13I don't go for that. It's getting hot here. She might get hurt.
30:17It is essential our friends continue to believe Miss Long is in that room.
30:21Once she leaves, they're likely to become suspicious.
30:23What makes you think they're not suspicious now?
30:25Because we are able to monitor their thoughts over the radio.
30:29Well, let me know the second they decide to pull out, that's all.
30:33Regan?
30:35What was that bit about two men earlier on?
30:36The fight spread outside the pub. Eagle got nervous, that's all.
30:40But we've got triangulation on control, sir.
30:42It's the Hampstead Belsize Park area, all right?
30:45That makes sense.
30:47High ground, you know.
30:53Lord, you've got two that start to death!
30:56I must warn you that...
30:59Get him down to the station.
31:03What's the charge?
31:03Well, just hold him for the moment.
31:05Yeah, he's a bloody cop, eh?
31:06And him, too.
31:07But he started the fight!
31:09Come on, it'll do you no good to argue.
31:10He started it!
31:11Come on, lad!
31:12Listen, there's 300 pounds worth of bloody hell!
31:14Have I done it?
31:15Come on!
31:17Right, get him outside and make sure he doesn't talk to anyone.
31:20Come on, Dad.
31:20Well, we're...
31:22Come on, Dad.
31:23But the gents, she's upstairs.
31:25This is about your...
31:26Now, look, all we need to do,
31:28what we do,
31:28the dogs in the tent,
31:29I don't lie to people.
31:31Now, we don't need to talk to them.
31:33Come on, Dad.
31:41Dick here.
31:42It's all right, it's all clear.
31:43I told you, didn't I?
31:43Now, get some kip.
31:44We'll wake you at four.
31:45Four?
31:46That's right, four.
31:49Very pretty.
31:50Sling it in there.
31:51It's not what we're after.
31:55All right, Jerry.
31:56We can go home.
31:57Oh, uh...
31:58You sure you don't want me to stay, go?
31:59No.
32:02There's any word on George.
32:03Yeah, he's down in the hospital.
32:06That geezer you told him to chase out of the pub
32:07only turns out to be one of Grant's boys, doesn't he?
32:10George got jumped.
32:11Well, I hope we gave him a kick in.
32:12No, there was three of them, Gough.
32:15Oh, well.
32:16Listen, the next time you see...
32:17Yeah, yeah, not many.
32:19Look, uh...
32:20You sure you're gonna be all right here on your own?
32:21Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
32:23See you tomorrow, Jerry.
32:27Hope so, Gough.
32:29Well, what was that all about?
32:44Well, what was that all about?
32:57Are you gonna bed?
32:59Well, aren't you?
33:20Good night, Harris, love.
33:21Good night to you.
33:24Hold it. Shut up.
33:34I've got it.
33:36This is it.
33:38Hold it. Shut up.
33:46I've got it.
33:48This is it.
33:51This is it.
33:53This is it.
33:57Put the documents in the case and wait for the van.
34:22And you, Dick, give me a report on the street.
34:24Anything that moves, let me know.
34:27What do you want to do?
34:57Oh, my God.
35:27What about the street? Any problems?
35:29No, the newspaper's still out there.
35:31Newspaper? What newspaper?
35:33The newspaper at the pub. Nobody's picked it up. It's still there.
35:35And the milk's there, too.
35:37Well, where's that bloody landlord then?
35:42Watch what you're doing with that case.
35:54All cars from MP, out.
35:57The newspaper at number two.
36:01And your location is all side over.
36:07Jim, Jim. I've heard no word from the landlord all night.
36:09And the people are still outside the pub. Jim, Jim!
36:12Yes, Jim here. We're out of the bank. I'm ready to go.
36:15Now, listen, the landlord's unreliable.
36:17He may be about to shop us. I want him to be found and silenced.
36:20Send two men over the roof and you go through the bar.
36:22Get that landlord fast!
36:24Got it. Georgie?
36:26Yeah?
36:27Get up on that roof. You and Dick come down through the window.
36:30I'm going up through the hatch. We'll meet up in the barn.
36:32Right.
36:34Georgie?
36:35Yeah?
36:36Don't move till you see the van.
36:38Right.
36:40Dick, I'm setting a man up to you. Get into that pub and find that landlord.
36:43What was that about newspapers on the roof?
36:45They didn't catch us.
36:46It's not what they say, sir. It's the frequency.
36:48It must go wrong now.
36:49Once we get locked into that...
36:51Hello? Arthur?
36:52No, I was just calling you.
36:55That's definite, is it?
36:57Have we got him?
36:59We have, sir.
37:01I'm sorry.
37:02I was just calling you.
37:03We'll be here, sir.
37:04It's just calling you.
37:05You're just calling you.
37:06Oh, my God.
37:36Hello? Inspector Regan, please. Hello?
37:55Put your clothes on.
37:56Hello, Regan.
37:57Oh, it's you. When are they coming out?
38:00The situation here, Regan, is that I've decided to charge the landlord.
38:03It's too risky to let him go, you understand?
38:05Well, you don't have to worry about him.
38:06I wasn't worried about him.
38:08You'll also be glad to know, Regan, that we've located control.
38:11And, in fact, I am leaving now to supervise that end of the operation.
38:15It's imperative we pick him up as soon as possible.
38:18When are they coming out?
38:20According to our latest information, five past eight.
38:23Well, that's in ten minutes.
38:24Precisely.
38:25Iris and me are coming out now.
38:27No, don't do that.
38:28You'll be spotted by their man on the roof. He's still up there, you know.
38:30Well, why don't you bloody well nick him, then?
38:33Because I don't want a vulgar battle going all over Wollstone Gardens with people shooting at each other and consequent loss of life.
38:39Worse still, I don't want Chummy bolting back into the bank.
38:43Or it'll take a week to winkle her mouth with consequent loss of face.
38:46Well, what are you going to do?
38:48The moment they leave, we'll move in.
38:50Now, once we're in the bank, Chummy's line of retreat is cut off.
38:53We will have no option but to use his getaway cars, which means going down Ledbury Street.
38:58Now, that's all open ground.
39:00We have our sharpshooters in place.
39:03That's a terrific idea, Superintendent.
39:06What about us?
39:08Lie low.
39:09Try the cellars.
39:10Now, you listen to me.
39:11There's somebody already in those cellars.
39:13That would tie in with Sergeant Jelinek's theory.
39:15Which is what?
39:16That they're not coming over the roofs.
39:18They're coming through the cellars.
39:19Look, you're monitoring the radio.
39:22Are they coming over the roofs or are they coming through the cellars?
39:25Ah, yes, I see what you mean, Regan.
39:28If you go into the cellars and they come out that way, the game is blown.
39:33That's not all that'll be blown.
39:36Iris, come on.
39:38Out.
39:38Now.
39:49I'm going to go into the cellars.
40:19Jim, don't go up to that barn until the van arrives.
40:33Now, hello, three.
40:35Three.
40:36Where are you now?
40:37Just turned into Wollstone Gardens.
40:41What are you doing?
40:42I am trying to get this barrel under this trap door.
40:50There's no answer to that.
40:51Exactly.
40:52Don't just stand there.
40:53Give me a hand.
40:55When are you going to get home?
40:55What are you going to tell the neighbours?
40:57That it fell off the back of a lorry?
40:58Give me a hand.
40:59For God's sake, they're coming up this way.
41:01I thought they were coming through my room.
41:03No, they're not.
41:05Why don't you get dressed, Iris?
41:13What do you want me to do?
41:15Push or get dressed?
41:18Get dressed.
41:20All right.
41:22What do you think I should wear?
41:24Something inexpensive because of the bullet holes?
41:26Or something dark so it doesn't show the blood?
41:29That's not funny.
41:30You're getting hysterical.
41:32I am not getting hysterical.
41:33I am terrified.
41:35Pass in the bank.
41:36Get in there.
41:38Right.
42:00Quiet.
42:09Forget about getting dressed.
42:11I don't want you out of my sight.
42:12All right?
42:12Excuse me.
42:13Which is the best place to hide?
42:17Jack.
42:19Get down.
42:22What is going on?
42:24That's their truck outside.
42:26They're coming out of the bank through the cellars under here.
42:28Shut up.
42:34That's the van outside now.
42:36Get ready to open the street trap door.
42:38I'm going upstairs.
42:52They'll bring the stuff straight up into the street with any luck.
42:54With luck, they'll bring the beer into the pub.
42:56Yeah, and they didn't do all this without the knowledge of the landlord, and he isn't here anymore.
42:59So when's that going to penetrate the thick skulls?
43:03You haven't brought the milk in, have you?
43:06No.
43:07Or the newspapers?
43:09No.
43:12This leads up to the bar, but the bloody thing won't open.
43:15Go on, get in the van.
43:19Right.
43:22Right, now.
43:23One more.
43:28What?
43:30Howkay?
43:30What?
43:39What?
43:40What?
43:40Jack!
44:01Jack!
44:03Jack, come back!
44:10Jack!
44:12Jack!
44:15Jack!
44:20Jack!
44:22Jack!
44:24Jack!
44:26Jack!
44:28Jack!
44:30Jack!
44:32Jack!
44:34Jack!
44:36Inspector Regan, please.
44:38Yeah.
44:40Message from the super, sir.
44:42Wants to warn you there are two armed men coming over the roof.
44:55Jack!
44:57His blood!
44:59Jack!
45:00Jack!
45:01Jack!
45:02Jack!
45:03Jack!
45:04Oh, my God!
45:05Oh, my God!
45:23I'm giving you permission to see the inspector now, provided you don't disturb them, right?
45:26Oh, thank you, sir.
45:27Oh, thank you, sir.
45:28Thank you, sir.
45:31Thank you, sir.
45:32Lieutenant, apart from the inspector's unfortunate accident, the operation was success.
45:36Oh, total, sir.
45:37Yes, we're going through the stolen valuables now and informing the owners one by one.
45:41Were they after one particular thing?
45:45No comment.
45:46Come on, sir, gentlemen.
45:47Thank you, nurse.
45:49Good morning, Jack.
45:50How are you?
45:51Morning, sir.
45:52Now, I'm sitting here on the, uh, side of the bed, right?
45:53You can get them two shut, can't you?
45:54Uh, on the foreground?
45:55We'd like to see the wound, sir.
45:56Where exactly was it wounded?
45:57Yes, where is your wound, Jack?
45:58You're sitting on it.
45:59Oh!
46:00Well, you can always widen your angle.
46:01Oh, it's a leg wound, is it?
46:02Yes, it's a leg wound.
46:03Can we have something more dramatic, like, you know, a bandage round the head or arming plaster?
46:07Why not?
46:08I'm surprised you're not at the palace collecting another medal.
46:10Very funny, Jack.
46:11You'll be pleased to know we got them all from the big fella himself right down the line.
46:13The lock.
46:14The lock.
46:15The lock.
46:16The lock.
46:17The lock.
46:18The lock.
46:19The lock.
46:20The lock.

46:40So, what were they after?
46:41I mean, what did you find on him, after you'd so courageously surrounded him with half
46:42the men three streets away from the scene of the crime?
46:44Jewels, Kruger Rams, and certain documents of a highly political nature.
46:50We're charging high risk.
46:53Of course.
46:54Conspiracy.
46:56Oh, no way.
46:58That girl saved my life.
47:00Well, I asked the judge to take that into consideration.
47:02Yeah, well, here's something you should take into consideration.
47:06I might marry her in prison at the beginning of the trial.
47:10Now, that would really keep me off the front pages, wouldn't it?
47:13Yeah, we could hold hands across the witness box,
47:16kiss through the bars of the Black Mariah.
47:20Yeah, I reckon we could hog the headlines for a whole month.
47:23You'd be nowhere.
47:25You're not serious.
47:26Well, in that case, you'll be all right, won't you?
47:29Of course, I could speak to the DOPP's office,
47:32see if they could drop the charges against her.
47:36Oh, yes, you could, couldn't you?
47:39I can't promise anything.
47:41Oh, no, of course you can't.
47:44I'll do my best.
47:47Oh, you will.
47:48I know you will.
47:50Excuse me, Superintendent.
47:52Yes, if you could make that look together,
47:54it's an old comrade's sake.
47:55This is for the Badger Curry series.
47:57Yes, why not?
47:58Right.
47:59Secret evidence is obviously very dangerous.
48:01Wet evidence is dangerous.
48:03Can I have my own suspicion, please?
