Transcript

00:00I thought this trip up to us a dead cert.

00:12You notice a betting shop round here, Kearney?

00:15No?

00:16You what, Judge?

00:17No, nothing.

00:19Just I think we're wasting our time, that's all.

00:22Hang on.

00:25That's no glagger, that's Mr. Bun with the bread.

00:28Oh, shut up.

00:30Charlie.

00:36Like we said, old son, nice and easy, does it?

00:55All right, Kearney, make a name for yourselves.

00:57Move it a bit, Charlie.

01:17Ambulance required junction of, uh...

01:20Junction of Kingston Avenue and Old Church Road.

01:22Yeah, yeah.

01:23Junction of Kingston Avenue and Old Church Road.

01:26Crap.

01:27The old bill, where'd they come from?

01:28Shut it.

01:29Throw a left ear and stop.

01:31Arne, you see that?

01:46See that, Kate.

01:48Come on, you see?

01:50Come on!

01:52Come on, Kate.

01:54Come on!

01:56Come on, Kate.

02:18All right, Cody.

02:48Come on!

03:18Who taught you to drive? Evel Knievel.

03:20Pardon?

03:48Hey, Cooney, you have to polish the car now.

04:11I'll go.

04:12Okay, now look, Fangio, you've done your brand's hatch numb,

04:15and I'll get back in the bloody car.

04:17Yeah.

04:18All right.

04:23Where'd you find him?

04:24He's a nutter.

04:25He's only holiday relief.

04:27Where are we?

04:30Pass Cooney.

04:32On your bike.

04:36So, what happened to Charlie?

04:39Oh, I don't know.

04:41We got out the car with the money and he took off.

04:44And the old bill now do.

04:46I don't know.

04:47Who shocked us?

04:48No one.

04:49I reckon we're just unlucky, that's all.

04:50Leave off, son.

04:51The law ain't that smart.

04:52Nobody's that unlucky.

04:53Oh, it's right what Barney said, Mr Prince.

04:54We were just unlucky.

04:55I should have done the job myself.

04:56You said this was a way to finance the big one.

04:57If Charlie's been nicked, he won't grass his family.

04:59So we're in the clear.

05:00Except for one thing, son.

05:01What?

05:02It looks as if we got no driver now for Saturday, don't it, stupid?

05:03The biggest thing we'll ever see and no driver.

05:04Oh, Charlie won't grass.

05:05Maurice, go and play with the traffic.

05:06What?

05:07Oh, yeah.

05:08Why don't we put up with him?

05:09Because I like it.

05:10Oh, sir.

05:11Hello, sir.

05:12I'm sorry.

05:13It's all right.

05:14What?

05:15That's all right.

05:16I'm sorry.

05:17I'm sorry.

05:18How you doing?

05:19Well, I'm sorry.

05:20It's all right.

05:21Well, he won't grass his family.

05:22So we're in the clear.

05:23Except for one thing, son.

05:24What?

05:25It looks as if we got no driver now for Saturday, don't it, stupid?

05:27The biggest thing we'll ever see and no driver.

05:28Well, Charlie won't grass?

05:30Maurice, go and play with the traffic.

05:32What?

05:33Oh, yeah.

05:34Why don't we put up with him?

05:36Hello, Sarah.

05:41Here you are, Dad. Thanks, Mum.

05:47Weren't you going to ask how we got on, then, eh?

05:51You got Charlie killed, didn't you? That was clever.

05:55Killed? What?

05:57It was on the news.

05:59It wasn't our fault.

06:00Whose was it, then?

06:02Yeah, well...

06:03Who's going to identify the body?

06:07I suppose they'll want to drag his mum down on the way from Leeds.

06:10Why don't you go, Sarah? After all, he is your cousin.

06:14Was.

06:15That morgue could be knee-deep in causes. She can't.

06:17No. Better to let them find out who he is and have them sniffing around here.

06:21Especially now.

06:22You're right, Dad. I'll go.

06:23Yeah, well, that's it, then, eh?

06:26Just one thing.

06:28We haven't got a chauffeur for Saturday.

06:30We've got to find somebody, then. Somebody good.

06:33Somebody good as Charlie.

06:35Somebody safe as Charlie.

06:38Oi.

06:39What's this?

06:41Looks like a hare.

06:43It is a hare. Yours.

06:46You'll make Inspector Yetskip.

06:49Careful, Cooney. You've got a lot of mouth for a strapper on that, bro.

06:53What are you doing up here?

06:55Well done, Cooney. Not bad for your first day with the squad.

06:57Thank you, sir.

06:58Is there any news on the driver?

07:00Apart from the fact that he's dead, no.

07:02His name's Charlie Spencer.

07:04We've got his fingerprints.

07:05There's no form.

07:07Been very quiet lately.

07:08A few ringing jobs. Nothing we can make stick.

07:12Oh, it was a wage snatch, you know, Guff.

07:14Not a bank raid, as your men prophesied.

07:16Yes, you're quite right, Jack.

07:17More luck than judgment.

07:19All the same, I'd still like to nick the two boys who got away with the 20 grand.

07:23I think any of the drivers, one thing.

07:24Well, we're on to them.

07:25George is off to the next of Kent.

07:26Oh, excuse me, sir.

07:28I'm sorry to bother you and all that, but I'm getting married on Friday and...

07:32Well, it's short notice and all that, but I was hoping you could make it.

07:34Well, yes, thank you, Cooney. I'll try.

07:38Yeah, well, it's Friday afternoon, sir.

07:40You know, registry office, very quiet.

07:42Just a few drinks afterwards.

07:44Yes, well, thank you, if I can.

07:46And the wife and I, well, that is, Maria and I, we were hoping that you two could make it as well.

07:52I'll bring you, ladies.

07:54Friday, well, my missus would be working, but I suppose I could.

07:59Yeah, yeah, Friday should be all right.

08:01Yeah, it should be our day off, Friday.

08:03We're duty squad on Saturday.

08:05Yes, well, you can't win them all, Jack.

08:07Just keep after the 20,000.

08:23How'd it go, love?

08:26See him?

08:28He's old Bill.

08:30They're on to it.

08:31They're on to it.

08:32I know.

08:41Oh, look, there's Haskins over this.

08:43No.

08:44I'm really looking forward to Paris tomorrow.

08:46There goes another good man.

08:47Yes, I'd like to see a young man with a stake in the future.

08:51A belief in society.

08:53How's the old cigar?

08:55Rapidly becoming anaesthetized.

08:57Mr. Haskins, nice of you to come, sir.

09:01I don't think you've met the wife.

09:03You're a very lucky man, Cooney.

09:04I'm sorry my wife couldn't come along.

09:05My daughter has a music exam.

09:06It's all right, Mr. Haskins.

09:07It's really very nice of you to come at such short notice.

09:08Good luck.

09:09Thank you, sir.

09:10Uh, you all right for booze gum?

09:11Yeah, I'm fine, dear.

09:12Nice girl.

09:13Good luck.

09:14Sorry, sir.

09:16It's the wedding.

09:17Shame.

09:18She's a nurse.

09:19You know what they say about nurses, don't you?

09:20Cheers.

09:21Yeah, cheers.

09:22I have another one go.

09:23There you go.

09:24Hey, steady on.

09:25Excuse me.

09:26You're Brian's boss, aren't you?

09:27Yes, I am.

09:28Oh, do come with me.

09:29Come with me.

09:30Come with me.

09:31Come with me.

09:32This way.

09:33Excuse me, I'm out.

09:34Meet her husband.

09:35He got anything for me?

09:36Yeah, I'm out.

09:37I'm out.

09:38I'm out.

09:39I'm out.

09:40I'm out.

09:41I'm out.

09:42I'm out.

09:43I'm out.

09:44I'm out.

09:45I'm out.

09:46I'm out.

09:47I'm out.

09:48I'm out.

09:49You got anything for me, George?

09:52Well, I checked up an old man Prince.

09:54Greg Prince, they call him.

09:56You were right.

09:57He's past it.

09:58He did a bag stretch last time.

10:00He's over the top.

10:01What about the daughter?

10:02Sarah?

10:03Well, nothing known.

10:04She works as a croupier in the gaming club.

10:05Divorced.

10:06Oh, she used to be married to Ernie Kingham.

10:08Do you remember?

10:09Went for the middleweight title.

10:10Yeah, I remember.

10:11Yeah, he got crucified by a young, didn't he?

10:13That's right.

10:14Anyway, they've split about three years ago now.

10:16She puts it about a bit, apparently.

10:18Um, since the old woman died two years ago, she's been living with the old fella.

10:22Same as the son, Bernard.

10:23Barney.

10:24Yeah, I wondered about him.

10:25Oh, he's a tough monkey.

10:26Plenty of form.

10:27Look, I've took some details.

10:31He knocks around with Morrie Brass.

10:33Imitation, a hard case, a bit of GBH and lightweight thieving.

10:37Apparently, he's after a Sarah.

10:40Yeah, you could be right.

10:42They could be the two that had it away on their toes.

10:44Yeah, but why would Big Sister turn up as bold as brass at the morgue?

10:47What a bloke there said her auntie had asked her.

10:50Doesn't smell rife to me.

10:55Hello, my luck's changed.

10:56He might be on a promise there, Judge.

10:58Yeah.

10:59Aren't you going to wait for them to cut the cake?

11:01No, I've had enough of Cooney's speeches already.

11:09Where's Jack going?

11:10Well, you know Mr. Regan.

11:12Can't stand weddings.

11:13Yes, well, George, we all know that marriage is a wonderful institution.

11:17Is he the right partner?

11:19Yes, Gav.

11:23You know, sometimes I don't understand Jack at all.

11:26I never do.

11:27Have another drink.

11:37Look, dummy, when you get a spare, you add the first ball from your next frame onto the ten you've already got.

11:43Got it.

11:44That's what I've done, haven't I?

11:46Oh, God, Alpuss.

11:47This lane's taken.

11:49All night, by the look of it.

11:51Look, sport, the bloody place is empty.

11:54Morris Brass.

11:59Who wants to know, Sunshine?

12:00The name's Regan.

12:02Client's one.

12:06So?

12:07I want a word with you and your mate.

12:12Yeah?

12:13What's this saying?

12:14Hello, Barney.

12:15Do I know you?

12:17No, but you will.

12:18Look, I don't know who you are.

12:20Sweeney.

12:21Regan.

12:22Oh, yeah.

12:27What's all this about, then, eh?

12:28Charlie Spencer was your cousin, right?

12:30Oh, yeah.

12:31Bad, that would happen to Charlie.

12:32Where were you when it happened?

12:34When what happened?

12:35When Charlie snuffed it.

12:36When was that?

12:37I mean, exactly.

12:38Three o'clock Tuesday.

12:40Uh, Tuesday, uh, Lakefield Park.

12:43A long way from home.

12:45The Gee-Gees.

12:46I was at the betting shop, wasn't I?

12:48Who saw you there?

12:49Oh, a lot of blokes.

12:50I mean, uh, Miggy Bennessy, Archie, Greenberg, Bill Lodge, all but half a dozen.

12:55Yeah, and Fred Peters, the manager.

12:57He'll remember us, too.

12:58Will he?

13:00And Fred Peters and co will all swear to that, no doubt.

13:03I think you'll find they all will, gov.

13:05Yeah, I'm sure they will.

13:06Because you've bunged them a long one each to make sure they're judging themselves, haven't you?

13:09Have a your way, sailor.

13:15I'll be seeing you, Bernie.

13:17Fancy your chances, eh?

13:19Not with Einstein scoring, I don't.

13:27He's sassy something, won't he?

13:29Just fishing, that's all.

13:31Seen sir up the morgue, like we said.

13:33Just trying to load us up.

13:35He's got no proof and he knows it.

13:37All the same, Murray, stay stern.

13:39Don't the old man do in his nap.

13:41He's got no proof of doing his nap.

14:00Hey, come on.

14:02Anyone would think this is our first time.

14:05Brian, I know it isn't, but in a way, it is.

14:10Look, I won't be a moment.

17:38No. No.

17:39I thought you were on your honeymoon, mate.

17:41Listen, son. I'm a man of limited experience, but if there's anything I can do for you...

17:45Yeah, all right. Sorry, Skip. Forget it, eh?

17:50Yeah, thanks.

17:52Here, Brian. Listen, son. If there's anything urgent, I'll...

17:57Suit yourself.

18:06That's nice. No play, Max.

18:09Pinside. Face down on the... Hang a bar. Hang a bar.

18:13You want to see your mum against a dice stone?

18:34What are you doing, Edgar?

18:36Oh, it says you thought I was just selling some of your old stuff.

18:38The wife's going to...

18:40Heard you've been after young Prince. Did you get anywhere?

18:44He's got a bogus alibi and he smells.

18:46Oh, pull him in.

18:48I want a bit more before I do it.

18:50A bit more? What have you got now?

18:52Nothing.

18:54Marvellous.

18:56I don't know how I came to drink all that.

18:58No, go.

18:59How many did I have?

19:01All right. Never mind.

19:03Look, I'll... I'll leave you to it.

19:05Well, we're working on it.

19:07Yes, we're all work and no play, Max Jack.

19:10Did we get Cooney a present?

19:14I don't know, did we?

19:16Jack, he's your driver. You're responsible for it.

19:18Yeah, I know.

19:20Oh, John.

19:22All right, Gump.

19:24Enjoyed the wedding?

19:26Anything on Spencer?

19:27Oh, nothing we didn't know already.

19:29There are no records either here or in criminal intelligence

19:32about anybody working as an associate to Charlie Spencer for the last three years.

19:36Except Morris Brass.

19:38Well, he must have driven for somebody.

19:40Don't get a reputation like that for nothing.

19:42No.

19:44We could spread a few bob around, see if any grass comes up with the latest SP.

19:47Yeah, that's an idea, George.

19:52You fancy a drink?

19:55No, I told the white.

19:57Yeah, all right, come.

19:59Here, Cooney got hold of you.

20:01Cooney?

20:02Yeah, he was on the flyer. He said he wanted you.

20:04Me? Why?

20:05I don't know.

20:07Oh, look, don't send me up, George.

20:09I'm too tired for your Christmas cracker honeymoon, George.

20:11I'm not sending you up.

20:13That was very serious.

20:15Ah, he's having me up.

20:16You've got to hand it to him.

20:17There's stubborn nothing on that ego.

20:19Don't have to tell me.

20:21Hey, did you see Cooney's castle?

20:23Oh, I picked my own up here.

20:31Now that's the proposition, Mr Cooney.

20:34So what do you say?

20:36I say you're mad.

20:37You're bloody mad.

20:39I need a driver.

20:41We've sussed your track record.

20:43You're very good.

20:45What's your problem?

20:46Don't you want 10,000 quid?

20:48I want my wife.

20:50That's what I want.

20:51You'll have her all nicely wrapped up

20:53to take back to the bridal suite

20:55as soon as the job is over.

20:57It's you.

20:59Here she is.

21:01Cooney.

21:03Marine!

21:05Marine!

21:08There, Cozza.

21:10I'll kill you!

21:12I'll better kill the lot of you!

21:14Look at her!

21:16Now, look!

21:18Marie.

21:20Marie.

21:22You all right, love?

21:24Yes.

21:26Yes.

21:28Oh, God.

21:30Brian.

21:31Why have they done this to us?

21:33Get help, please!

21:35Please!

21:36That's enough.

21:38Still, sunshine.

21:40She's had about as much as she can take, Cooney.

21:43If you don't cooperate,

21:45she may have to take a lot more.

21:47She's got a pretty face, Cooney.

21:49Why don't we keep it like that?

21:51You don't want to look at her every day

21:53and feel responsible, do you?

21:55Leave her alone.

21:57Leave her alone!

21:58That's down to you, lover boy.

22:00Don't you want her back, Cooney?

22:01All in one piece?

22:02We're not playing games, Sonny.

22:05You're a copper.

22:07You've been around.

22:08You know what we can do to her

22:10if we put our minds to her.

22:12All right.

22:14Well, if...

22:16If I do whatever you want,

22:18you'll let her go?

22:20Yeah.

22:21After the job.

22:23All right.

22:24We'll let her go.

22:27Wise up, sunshine.

22:28All right.

22:31All right, love.

22:33It's gonna be all right.

22:35Don't worry. I'll...

22:36You're what?

22:38Okay.

22:40You win.

22:42What do you want me to do?

22:44Stay here tonight, for starters.

22:46I can't. The hotel.

22:48I mean, I've gotta go back.

22:49I've got plane tickets tomorrow!

22:51You're going nowhere, Sonny.

22:53Would Mr. Robert Williams please go to the reception desk,

22:59where there's an urgent phone call for me.

23:02Mr. Robert Williams to the reception desk.

23:23Can I have a drink, sir?

23:27Care for a drink, sir?

23:28No, thank you. I prefer to play.

23:30One hundred thousand pounds.

23:41Gentlemen, the game is poker.

23:43Dealers choice at table stakes of a hundred thousand pounds for each player.

23:47There's no credit, and if any player loses a stake, he retires from the game. Accepted.

23:50Yes, sir.

23:51First check calls.

23:54Seven cards start.

24:21Six to bet.

24:24One thousand pounds.

24:32Your call, sir.

24:34Gentlemen, how about a change of game?

24:35Why not?

24:36Five cards draw.

24:38New deck.

24:40Certainly, sir.

24:43Room service.

24:50Three!

24:51That's for starters.

24:52Next one gets his head blown off.

24:53Don't try anything, Cooney.

24:54Oh, shut up, will you?

24:55Just do me a code of war.

24:56On the deck.

24:57Face down.

24:58You've been sensible so far.

24:59Don't do anything stupid.

25:00Get after them.

25:01After them.

25:02On your way, Sonny.

25:03Sonny.

25:04On your way, Sonny.

25:05Sonny.

25:06On your way, Sonny.

25:07On your way, Sonny.

25:08On your way, Sonny.

25:12Sonny.

25:13Sonny.

25:14On your way, Sonny.

25:15You've been sensible so far.

25:16Don't do anything stupid.

25:19Get after them.

25:20After them.

25:21On your way, Sonny.

25:27On your way, Sonny.

25:29Eh!

25:53Hello.

25:54Hello!

25:56Hello!

25:57Oh, at last.

25:58Give me the police.

25:59The police! What? Oh, room 3-2-0. Hurry!

26:07Six hundred thousand pounds has been stolen. Most of it mine.

26:14I'll take my chances with the police.

26:17And if any of you want to see any of your money back, you've got no louty choice.

26:23Gentlemen, I feel I must warn you, the police are likely to be unfriendly about your money.

26:32Would you like a drink?

26:34Six thousand biggons. What do you think about that, Pop?

26:37Yeah, added off some, haven't we?

26:40Sweet as a nut, Cooney. You're on the firm now. One of the chaps.

26:45What's the matter with you, Cosa?

26:46Shut up, will you? Just clad me in.

26:49Look, this game's quite legal.

26:51Yeah, these gentlemen were playing for money, but...

26:56Flying squad, we've got to call an MP.

26:59Detective Inspector Regan, what's all this about?

27:01Well, it's through. He's been robbed. Two men come in with guns and they take away six hundred thousand pounds.

27:06Climmy. Is he joking?

27:07Any descriptions, Captain?

27:08Descriptions, descriptions. Talk, talk. Go and catch them!

27:13Here. Um, could anybody recognise them again?

27:18How about you, miss?

27:21Well, well.

27:24You look just like Sarah Prince.

27:38Miss Sarah Prince, or is it Mrs?

27:41Miss.

27:41What are you doing here?

27:42Well, I'm a croupier.

27:44No kidding.

27:45Look, the people running the game, taking part in the game, ask me.

27:47I usually work at a bullion club. They all know me.

27:50Yeah, but do you know the villains that just got away with, uh, six hundred thousand pounds?

27:55How could I know them?

27:57Look, Inspector, I am only too happy to cooperate.

28:04Only just please do something.

28:06Well, for a start, you can all make statements to this officer here.

28:09Look, Inspector, this was a small game between friends.

28:12Okay, you can call it illegal if you want.

28:15I'll say I can.

28:16Six hundred thousand pounds?

28:19Over half a million quid and you call it a friendly?

28:21Don't come in.

28:22This was the big pot, right?

28:24Look, Inspector, if it is a matter of exchange control regulations...

28:29You're damn right it's a matter of exchange control regulations.

28:32Breach of exchange control regulations.

28:35My money is a private matter.

28:39Any inquiries you wish to make on that score, I suggest you direct them to my country's embassy.

28:44In the meantime, I think that you'd both be better employed in capturing two armed and dangerous bandits

28:50or stolen a vast quantity of money.

28:53You what?

28:53I suggest that you stop harassing foreign visitors to your country

28:58and get on with the job that you are paid to do.

29:01Bloody chick.

29:02All right, all right.

29:04Now, statements.

29:07Ladies first.

29:09I was hired by a reputable gaming house to demonstrate dealing techniques.

29:14Do leave off, love.

29:15Inspector Regan.

29:17If I might just have a word outside.

29:20Go down and tell Wilson where we are, George.

29:22Yeah, okay.

29:22Uh, Sergeant.

29:26Take a statement from this young lady, will you?

29:32You know, for the weekend, Gav.

29:33I thought I was just collating statistics for the ACC's quarterly report

29:37and then I heard that you'd rode yourself in here.

29:39Yeah, well, we are duty squad, Gav.

29:40Yes, I know, I know.

29:41You were bored out of your mind waiting for the classified to come up

29:44and then suddenly, manor from heaven on the air.

29:47A robbery at a posh hotel.

29:49600 grand, Gav.

29:50So they say.

29:51Jack, you've involved yourself, your firm and what's more to the point,

29:55me, with foreigners, embassies, politicians, the home office

29:59and almost certainly questions in the house.

30:01Look, it's Saturday afternoon.

30:03We're all very tired.

30:04Biggest break that uniform sergeant in there's ever had.

30:06Now, be reasonable for once.

30:08Go back in there, get Carter, go home and settle for match of the day.

30:12But there's a connection in there, Gav.

30:13Well, you won't get anything out of them unless you promise them immunity.

30:16What?

30:17Well, you've got no choice.

30:18If you threaten them, they'll shut up.

30:20They brought in a load of hot money I can hold them for questioning.

30:22And carve out a very promising career for yourself as a traffic warden.

30:26Look, Jack, from where I sit, they're just a bunch of big-time gamblers who've been done.

30:30It's probably a setup.

30:31Yeah, I'll go along with that.

30:32If we manage to get their money back for them, then our police remain wonderful.

30:36Right.

30:36At the moment, we're a good deal less wonderful than O Division CID.

30:43Yeah, all right, Gav.

30:45I'll just go and put the local factory in the picture.

30:48Right, thanks, Jack.

30:49Just do that.

30:51And no more.

30:56Oi, Gav.

30:57Yeah?

30:58You're CID, right?

30:59That's right.

31:00Yeah, well, I saw the car, didn't I?

31:02You what?

31:02I saw the getaway car.

31:04Can you give us a description?

31:05Four blokes.

31:06One of them fast foreign jobs.

31:09Yeah, go on.

31:10Well, I was carrying these bags, see?

31:12All bloody heavy they was, too.

31:14I think they come from the airport, Manila.

31:15Yeah, all right.

31:16What about the car?

31:18Well, it comes out like the clappers, didn't it?

31:19Do you know it nearly knocked me down?

31:23What happened then?

31:24Well, it comes out like the clappers.

31:27Then, as I say, it suddenly stops.

31:29Stopped?

31:30Yeah, to let me cross the road.

31:31I was carrying these four bags, you see.

31:34Yeah, I see.

31:36Yeah, cheers.

31:37Pleasure.

31:42Marie!

31:47Hotel.

31:48What a castle.

31:50Marie, please.

31:52No, don't look at me!

31:53Marie!

31:54Marie!

31:56See what you've married?

31:58I think I married a very brave girl.

32:08Brian, the door will be locked in.

32:11Yeah, yeah, look, everything's all right.

32:12Don't worry.

32:14Look, I think I'd better phone the governor, don't you?

32:16Oh, no, you can't!

32:18If you tell...

32:19If you go anywhere like Regan, he won't believe that you did it for me.

32:24Not now.

32:28No, you're right.

32:31Still, look, I mean, I didn't take that money, did I?

32:34Perhaps he'll...

32:34No, Brian, please.

32:36I couldn't go through any more.

32:37Oh.

32:38Oh.

32:38Hey, what did you tell that divisional D.I.?

32:54To get on with it.

32:56He's going to keep me posted.

32:57He's an old mate.

32:59So we just forget it?

33:01I mean, seriously?

33:02Not bloody likely.

33:05Well, it could all be a coincidence.

33:07Yeah, and it couldn't.

33:09Sarah Prince's cousin, and in all probability her brother and that horizontal heavyweight,

33:14knock over a cashier carrying 20 grand.

33:17Now, four days later, she happens to be around when 600 grand goes for a walk.

33:22So the wage snatch financed the big coup?

33:25Oh, come off you, gov.

33:26We're really going to have to bust the gut to try and break Barney and Murray's alibis.

33:30And the only thing you'll get that Sarah on is contravening the gaming act.

33:33And what's that?

33:33A 30 quid fine, top work.

33:34Regan.

33:37Regan.

33:38Yeah, hello, Steve.

33:41Yeah.

33:43Yeah, of course I expected that.

33:48You sure?

33:52Yeah.

33:53What about the blokes on holiday or sick leave?

33:55Well, thanks for ringing.

34:04Steve Hunter, Traffic.

34:05Yeah?

34:06They found the car, BMW, the hotel job.

34:10It was dumped out in Slav.

34:12Nothing in it except a standard-issue Metropolitan Police ballpen under the driver's seat.

34:19You know, that hotel porter, he said the getaway car stopped to let him cross the road.

34:23A copper?

34:25A copper?

34:25No.

34:27Well, Steve said that no Met copper's got a car with that registration.

34:30No copper's reported his car stolen.

34:36I wish we'd never let Cooney get us into this.

34:38Oh, hello, now.

34:43Everything okay, then?

34:44Yeah.

34:46Kritsky rang last night, got to Tangier, okay?

34:48Yeah?

34:49Take about three weeks for the Reddies to get to us.

34:51Well, then, that's 100,000 quid apiece.

34:54So what are you looking so miserable about?

34:56The old bill, Dad.

34:57It's too quiet.

34:58Well, they didn't get nowhere.

35:00Listen, it was a bank game, you know that.

35:02Those foreign tops don't want any trouble.

35:04And the boys haven't got enough to go on anyway.

35:06Yeah, but...

35:07Did you cop the two first?

35:13What?

35:13Morian, with a tenor on the favourite, comes last night.

35:16Come out the bloody stalls backwards.

35:19I tell you what, darling.

35:21You better come up with his chair quick, or he's going to be scapegoat.

35:24Real Brassic's era.

35:26You'll have to wait.

35:26Number eight.

35:28Oh!

35:29Oh, cop air, eh?

35:32Who's for a drink, Dad?

35:33Yeah, I like your style, Barney.

35:36No scotch?

35:37There's a full case round the back.

35:38What's the matter with you?

35:38Are you paralysed?

35:40Okay, pop.

35:41Keep your rag on.

35:42Come on, muscle.

35:45Oh, that Morrie.

35:46What a pain.

35:47Yeah.

35:48He fancies you.

35:49Don't I know.

35:50You shouldn't gee him up like that.

35:53He's useful.

35:56Bleeding our case.

35:56Yes, you are.

35:57Just like your poor old mum.

36:02Oh, that silly bleeder.

36:04What?

36:05He's fallen down the stairs.

36:10Who's that mother, eh?

36:12All right.

36:13Just a small one.

36:15Whoa.

36:17At least you two haven't lost your sense of you, ma.

36:19I was just tanning her.

36:20You know, we got away with blue murder.

36:22We should be bloody great.

36:23Shut up, Dad.

36:24All right.

36:25All right.

36:25Come on.

36:26What's up with big sis, then, eh?

36:28Come on.

36:29Pop's right.

36:30Nobody sucks poor Charlie.

36:32And Regan never came back after.

36:35Regan?

36:36Yeah.

36:36Regan, the Sweeney bloke who bent our ears at the ball.

36:41Regan was the DI at the hotel.

36:44Remember Carter, his mate.

36:45Flash.

36:46Fair air.

36:48He was the one that was on to me at the mall.

36:54What did you tell him?

36:57What did you say?

36:57Hey, that looks terrific.

37:13It's cheap and nasty.

37:18Hey, now look, sweetheart.

37:20You've got to pull yourself together.

37:22Look, we've been through this a hundred times before.

37:25Life's got to go on, you know.

37:28Yeah.

37:30Yes.

37:31I know, Brian.

37:33But I'll try.

37:35I promise.

37:38Listen.

37:39Why don't you get yourself down to the doctor's and, er...

37:42We'll tell him you can't sleep or something.

37:44I'm going to give you a tonic.

37:45All right, all right.

37:47Look, it's half past eight already.

37:49You think you'd better go?

37:51Yeah, all right.

37:55Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot.

37:57I'm sorry, I've got a rush.

38:00Oh.

38:00I'm sorry, I've got a rush.

38:03Is it...

38:08It is all right?

38:10Brian?

38:11Yeah.

38:13Yeah, love.

38:14Everything's fine.

38:16Look, I'm sorry, love.

38:17I've got a rush.

38:18Oh.

38:20All right?

38:23Well, I'll see you tonight.

38:25So, Askins goes up to the fifth floor and he meets this big dark cloud and a voice booms out of it.

38:37Do not make waves, Francis.

38:40So we just let it slide, then?

38:41Oh, you know what they're like.

38:43We don't want any diplomatic repercussions.

38:46Bad for tourism.

38:47Bad for the pound and all that.

38:50The Swiss geezer was the only one that complained anyway.

38:53He must have been winning.

38:54Well, he got over it pretty quick.

38:55He flew back to the idle voice yesterday.

38:59So, Bango's your theory about a Prince connection, then?

39:02Oh, Barney and Murray's alibis are cast iron.

39:05Naturally.

39:06They could have been involved in both jobs.

39:10Yeah, well, Cooney's lost that out for you, haven't they?

39:12Eh?

39:13Killing their stop boat.

39:14Yeah, I'll kill him if he don't get a move on.

39:17Well, they could have recruited another driver.

39:20Yeah.

39:21Yeah, I know a copper who leaves police pens all over the place.

39:24He stops to let people cross the road before he leaves a scene in a crime.

39:28That's the one.

39:29It's happened before, you know, George.

39:31Yeah, in a Y5-0.

39:34Here he is.

39:44Sorry I'm late, Dov.

39:45Welcome, Dano.

39:47Traffic?

39:48Yeah, well, this is your first day back, Casanova.

39:51Do you mind if I put this in the back?

39:53Eh?

39:53Oh, no, that's all.

39:55Right.

39:56Where to, Gov?

39:57Hammersmith flyover.

39:58We're still on that hijacked job.

40:00How was the honeymoon, then, Coons?

40:02Oh, OK.

40:03OK.

40:04Is that all?

40:06Yeah, well, the wife went too well.

40:07Sorry to hear that.

40:09Oh, no, I suppose.

40:11We, uh, we come back early.

40:14Well, Paris?

40:14When did you go back?

40:16We come back Sunday morning, actually.

40:17It's a shame, Dad.

40:18You were only on a long weekend anyway, weren't you?

40:20Yeah.

40:21Two days I live in Montmartre.

40:23You seem to have had that all right.

40:24Yeah?

40:25I, uh, just bumped in.

40:30I won't ask how you did it.

40:32In the car, actually.

40:33I pulled off a bit sharp and, uh, went straight.

40:38Click, old son.

40:39Uh, Gavner.

40:42Hmm?

40:42Read that at the bottom there.

40:43I think you'll find that quite interesting.

40:48Yeah.

40:49Please put up here, Kearley.

40:52George, listen.

40:52And I've got a meeting this morning.

40:54I forgot all about it.

40:56So you go on, and I'll get a captain.

40:59Okay, Gav.

41:05Have you got one of the firm's pens on you, Coons?

41:14Oh, uh, hello, Mr. Regan.

41:17Hi, Murray.

41:18How's the new ride?

41:19Oh, Brian's gone.

41:20You've, uh, missed him.

41:21Yes, yes, I know.

41:22Oh.

41:23Yeah, I was just passing.

41:24I thought I'd, uh, call in, have a little chat.

41:26Would you like a...

41:27No, no, I don't want to hold you up.

41:28I was going to go down the shops.

41:30Well, fine.

41:31I'll walk with you, if you don't mind.

41:33No.

41:34No, of course not.

41:44I just wondered if, uh, everything was all right.

41:47All right?

41:48Yeah, I spoke to Brian this morning.

41:51He seemed a bit edgy.

41:51You know, a bit uptight.

41:53Just wondered if everything was all right.

41:55Yeah, yeah.

41:56Everything's fine.

41:59Yeah.

42:00A bit nervy, eh?

42:01Is that...

42:01What?

42:02Well, Brian, he said you're nervous.

42:04Oh, did he?

42:05Oh, yeah, they are a bit.

42:06I think it's all the excitement, getting married and that.

42:10It's a big business, isn't it?

42:12Yes.

42:17Something's different.

42:18What?

42:18Your hair.

42:21This.

42:21Yeah, I like your own hair better.

42:23You've got lovely hair.

42:23Oh, lots of people wear wigs these days, don't they?

42:25Well, do they?

42:26What, with hair like yours?

42:27Well, it's up to me if I want to wear a wig, isn't it?

42:29Oh, sure.

42:30Sure, yeah.

42:31How was Paris, then?

42:33Um, we didn't go.

42:35You didn't go?

42:37Well, I thought Brian said you came back early.

42:39I must have misunderstood him.

42:42I wasn't feeling very well.

42:43Well, Brian said, yeah.

42:46So there's nothing at all.

42:47No problems.

42:49Are you okay for money?

42:52Money?

42:53Well, most young people have difficulties these days, don't they?

42:58No, no.

42:59Not exactly, Richard.

43:00We've got plenty of money.

43:01Oh, sure, sure.

43:02I see.

43:03Hey, look, do me a favour.

43:04Don't tell Brian that I called.

43:06I don't want him to think I'm fussing.

43:08No, I won't.

43:10Well, I'll get off.

43:12Glad you better.

43:13Yeah, bye.

43:23Where to now, Gough?

43:29Just up the road, though.

43:30Something on?

43:31It will be soon.

43:32Big shift of old notes from the southern bank over there.

43:36Three o'clock Wednesday afternoon.

43:38We're just doing the final checks.

43:40Are we guarding it?

43:41No, no, it's a security firm's job.

43:45It's one van, that's all.

43:4720,000 niggering old notes in the one van.

43:50Yeah?

43:53Well, it's nonsense.

43:57In Cooney...

43:57What possible evidence do you have?

44:01There's a cut on the side of his head.

44:03That could be with braking suddenly.

44:05And the witness saw the getaway car break hard.

44:08Did the witness see him take the money?

44:10Would he know him again, identify him?

44:12Governor, he had 10,000 pounds put in his bank account on Monday.

44:1610,000 quid, how do you explain that?

44:19Legacy, win on the pool.

44:21Could be a marriage settlement.

44:22Our old man runs a tobacconist in Felixstown.

44:24Where's he going to get hold of 10 grand?

44:26Jack, I have to have more than supposition to suspend a man.

44:30The wedding night phone call.

44:32The cancelled honeymoon.

44:33They're both behaving very strangely, Gov.

44:35You can hardly get a word out of him.

44:37I'm not so sure that's a bad thing.

44:40Her mum's fluttering like a leaf.

44:41And she's taken away in a wig.

44:43A wig?

44:44With hair like that?

44:45I'll say one thing, he's a rotten one.

44:47I don't think they're spending the money yet.

44:48Somebody could be loading him up.

44:51Who'd want to load up Cooney?

44:53Now look, Gov.

44:54As the officer in charge of the motor that Cooney's driving, I'm responsible for him.

44:58Now if he gets into trouble, they'll throw the book at me.

45:01They'll do me for lack of supervision.

45:03Now I'm not wearing that, Gov.

45:04He is bent.

45:06Face it.

45:06He's got to be.

45:09George.

45:09Well, I'm sorry, Gov.

45:12I think he's bent.

45:16All right.

45:17Let's have him in.

45:18Time I talk to him.

45:19Could you leave it a day, Gov?

45:21What?

45:22I've put a job his way.

45:26Now, he tells me.

45:27The day after tomorrow.

45:28It's his day off.

45:32What did Sarah say?

45:34She didn't want to know.

45:36Easy for her.

45:37Don't smoke over the table.

45:46What do you want out of it?

45:4825.

45:49I could do with a bit of that.

45:51We'll be waiting forever for the other...

45:52Shut it.

45:56You'll drive?

45:57Oh, yeah.

45:58But you'll have to supply the car, all right?

46:01What?

46:03Why have you gone bent all of a sudden, eh?

46:04Well, you gave me 10 grand, right?

46:08Well, I just realized what a dragon is living on 35 quid a week.

46:16Phone me here tonight.

46:17After six o'clock, all right?

46:22Do you want me?

46:25Why not?

46:28Were you going to tell the old man?

46:30No, his bottle's gone.

47:00What the hell's he up to?

47:19There's no way out of here.

47:21Shut up.

47:21This is my manner, remember?

47:22What the hell's he up to you?

47:23What the hell's he up to you?

47:24What the hell's he up to you?

47:40What the hell's he up to you?

47:41What the hell's he up to you?

47:42Oh, my God.

48:12Get an ambulance!

48:17All right, Koenig.

48:19Try not to move.

48:20Ambulance is on its way.

48:21I'm okay.

48:28You want another take, were you, sir?

48:32That was Blackman.

48:34I had Maria.

48:38I had to get my arm back, Governor.

48:42I've ruined my chances in the job, haven't I?

48:47Yeah, I'm afraid so, sir.

48:49Were all the princes involved?

48:52Yes, all of them.

48:54Including the girl, Sarah?

48:57Especially the girl.

48:59Don't worry, Brian.

49:01We'll get her.

49:03And the old man.

49:04We'll get her.

49:14Well, it's Exit Cooney, then.

49:15You know what they say.

49:17What's that?

49:18If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined.

49:21Thanks, sir.

49:21You'll be right back.

49:22Bye.

49:23Bye, God.

49:27Bye, guys.
