01:39Only you, Trevor, would fall for war horror.
01:42Get a second edition free with the first.
01:44You two don't have to go on.
01:47You're a big villain, Mr. Cato.
01:49And we are just humble detective sergeants.
01:53Nonetheless, speak to us when you are spoken to.
01:58Is it right?
02:01Right.
02:02Let's have a feel in your flies.
02:04Unzip.
02:09Bloody places.
02:10The last place a heterosexual would look.
02:12What if detective sergeant King's a gay blade?
02:14One in ten, you know?
02:15Then we'll have him for buggery and corruption.
02:19Look, I'm not happy about this.
02:21Happiness is a warm gun, Mr. Cato.
02:24Wrapped around a mini UHF transmitter.
02:28Receiving your crutch loud and clear.
02:31Right.
02:32On your bike, Mr. Cato.
02:34And remember, his name amounts.
02:37Specifics.
02:38I don't know why I'm doing this for you two sods.
02:43Because you are screwed, son.
02:46And because all British policemen are wonderful.
02:48The exception of that double-vent bastard over there.
03:07Oh, pissy rain must be coming from a Soviet Russia.
03:13Yeah, it won't be a minute.
03:15Two times 27 pounds 47 is...
03:1854.94.
03:19Clever.
03:20I was working in Petticoat when I was nine.
03:23That's boring information, Billy.
03:25I was robbing the bleeding stalls when I was four.
03:27Look where it got you.
03:28Look where it got me.
03:29I got you 200 quid a week, as usual, from me, which I'm handing you in this envelope, Detective
03:35Sgt.
03:36Key.
03:38Billy, why mention my surname?
03:42Why mention weekly and 200?
03:44What you on about?
03:46We on the air, Billy.
03:47He sucks.
03:48I can't believe it.
03:49I know what you're talking about.
03:50Are you what?
03:51Are you sod?
03:52I don't know the meaning of your phrase 200 quid weekly, as usual, or why you're handing
04:10me a sealed envelope, which I am not accepting.
04:14You and I know, Billy, that we will be discussing this matter at some later date.
04:19Now kindly leave the motor.
04:21Stop this old cat tired of our clock.
04:26That one.
04:29Wait.
04:31You and me talk.
04:43There.
04:44Get out.
04:46Who put that in your jails?
04:50that in your jackals.
04:52I see what I do.
04:53No!
04:54You're an anti-corruption squad.
04:56C.I.B. 2.
04:58Is that the truth?
04:59Yeah.
05:00Where are they?
05:01Out there in the motor.
05:03Your reputation is rubbish.
05:06In 24 hours, every ponce in London's gonna know you work with them bastards.
05:10Don't.
05:11Yes.
05:12Look, Ronald, on that, you can name your price.
05:15Not this time.
05:16Listen to me, Roddy.
05:17You talk about this, you talk about me, or we'll kill you.
05:20I fancy my chances for you, sons.
05:22Now, you and yours stay well away.
05:24And you can tell those bastards that I'm directly threatening them with physical violence.
05:28That goes for you, too, and I'll see your faces again.
05:50get on the cross.
05:51Get on the cross.
05:52Don't you?
05:53Nope.
05:54Sort it.
05:55He's coming back.
05:56The cape mustn't see us.
05:57Move!
05:58Hey!
05:59Hey!
06:00Hey!
06:01Hey!
06:02Hey!
06:03Hey!
06:05Hey!
06:06Hey!
06:07Hey!
06:08Hey!
06:09Hey!
06:10Hey!
06:11Hey!
06:12Hey!
06:14Hey!
06:15Hey!
06:16Hey!
06:17Hey!
06:18Oh, my God!
06:20Oh, my God!
06:22Oh, my God!
06:24Oh, my God!
06:26Oh, my God!
06:40God damn it!
06:48Ow!
06:50Ow!
06:52Ow!
06:54Ow!
07:04Ow!
07:06Ow!
07:12Ow!
07:14Wait, stop.
07:16I want to have a word with you.
07:21Yes, Sensei.
07:23Just sit down.
07:30Mr. Grant.
07:31Call me Denny. I've asked you to.
07:33I've got a couple of things to say to you, Mr. Grant,
07:35and I'm going to be straight with you.
07:37I'm not going to beat about the bush, OK?
07:39How am I doing? I'm trying hard.
07:42This year, I started with a class of 16 pupils.
07:45And, gradually, they've all dropped out, leaving just you.
07:47Yeah, I know. It's a gross shame.
07:49I don't know if you're a masochist or what, Mr. Grant,
07:51but I've tried to teach you, to the best of my ability,
07:54all the basic Aikido moves.
07:56And you seem to be refusing to do anything I've taught you.
07:59I mean, you're just maximising the pain to yourself.
08:03Somehow, I'm beginning to think that's what you want.
08:06I think you're getting your rocks off.
08:09I've been thrown around this room painfully by me
08:11for one solid hour every Thursday.
08:16David, if I've offended you in any way, what can I do?
08:22I love these classes. They're vital to me, vital.
08:25The second thing I wanted to tell you, Mr. Grant,
08:27this Whitechapel Polytechnic,
08:28the fact that I've lost all my class except you,
08:30means next year I'm not going to be re-employed.
08:34If I thought you were a genuine student of Aikido...
08:36I am, I am. I'm genuinely genuine.
08:38I'd take you through the next six classes solo.
08:42But as you're not, and there's no future here for me,
08:47let's just call it a day, okay?
08:48And you can pick up a refund for the unexpired lessons.
08:51Mr. Grant?
08:57Why are you crying, Mr. Grant?
09:01David.
09:03Oh, God.
09:05You'll do better next session.
09:07Winter's always good for karate.
09:10It's the early dark nights. Muggins, you know.
09:13It's not karate, it's Aikido. And I won't be here next session.
09:16Oh. Got another job lined up.
09:19I already have another job, actually.
09:21Like this, it pays next to nothing.
09:24Do you like breakdancing?
09:25I've just discovered it.
09:27I find it's...
09:29super at me.
09:33Oh, yeah. Grant.
09:36He paid for a turning off.
09:39Right.
09:40Can you give him a refund? I said you could.
09:42Sign this blank.
09:44I'll type a termination out over your signature.
09:46Great, thanks.
09:47Now I'll take care of the four manlies.
09:51I've, uh...
09:52just lost my boyfriend.
09:55I'm...
09:56nightly...
09:57deathly repressed, if you know what I mean.
10:01Would you be interested in that?
10:03Um...
10:06Not really, at the moment.
10:08Hmm.
10:13I remember the kings.
10:15I think they were the only sea of ee in the rag trade.
10:18That would make them stat after run here.
10:20One died in Bolivia, you know.
10:22He was a black sheep.
10:24Mind you, the family were all somewhat off-white.
10:27Villainy is inherited, you know.
10:30I think our Lord tells us.
10:32I think it's implicit in what Jesus said of criminals.
10:35Yeah, well, he was a bit of a villain himself, wasn't he?
10:37What?
10:38In the view of his temporal masters.
10:42He was a right punch-up artist.
10:44Show him a moneylender, and he was in with the bull.
10:47Ah.
10:48There you are.
10:54This one.
10:55What you might call the doyen of the house.
10:59The Victorian Mr. Fixit.
11:01He had the wet fish concession of a mansion house, you know.
11:05He made a few bob.
11:07He was a ladies man.
11:09And there's some Wallace Arthur.
11:10That's the one I'm interested in.
11:12Yes, I remember him vaguely.
11:15Was he married?
11:16Yes.
11:17I can't say I remember her.
11:18Do you remember any children?
11:19There was a boy.
11:21Run.
11:22Was he called Run?
11:23I think that was his name.
11:24Great.
11:25Now the big costigan.
11:27Any idea where he might be living?
11:28No.
11:29When his parents died, I believe he went off to live with an aunt.
11:33Do you remember her name?
11:34Costigan.
11:35That was it.
11:36Married Costigan.
11:38And where does she live?
11:39The Costigans?
11:41At one time, there were three families of Costigans in Lily Street, all related.
11:45Or a Lily Street boat?
11:46No.
12:00Good morning, Mr Castle.
12:01Morning, Mr Hordinette.
12:02Your autocycle Vengeandrum worries me much, Mr Castle.
12:09Let's hope the rust is not on vital components, such as brakes.
12:13Everything functions.
12:15Mr Hordinette, I wonder if I could have a private word with you?
12:19Of course.
12:20And how are you progressing on the King investigation?
12:25Oh, I found a grandmother, a son, and an aunt who raised Ronald Oscar.
12:30Very good.
12:31I think there's even a good chance he's living in the Bow area.
12:34Good.
12:36Good.
12:38Morning, Mr Denzel.
12:39Good morning, Mr Castle.
12:41Morning, Mr Castle.
12:42Good morning.
12:43I have an extra tidbit for you.
12:51You may recollect that the Interstater left the rents of his boat building premises to the local National Union of Seamen.
13:00We assume that this was a seamen's union at Brixham.
13:05But it soon turns out that the rents were being remitted to the seamen's union at Wharf Road, Isle of Dogs.
13:13Right.
13:17Ah.
13:18You said you wanted a private word.
13:21Two minutes, then I leave to entrain from Birmingham.
13:25The Seaford will...
13:26Uh...
13:28Yeah, um...
13:29I was...
13:30I was just wondering, Mr Hodinett.
13:32I've been working for you for nine months now.
13:34And I think I've produced quite a few good results.
13:36Eleven hours.
13:38Very satisfactory.
13:40And you're paying me ÂŁ63 a week plus mileage allowance?
13:44Yes.
13:45I need more money, Mr Hodinett.
13:47Ah.
13:48So you want to tender your resignation?
13:50No.
13:51But if you need more salary and I'm about to tell you that myself and my partners are unlikely to pay you,
13:57then surely you would wish to leave us with a mutually agreed term for working out, you notice?
14:02No, no, no.
14:03Um...
14:04Forget I spoke.
14:05I'm very happy with the work.
14:06I'll just go now.
14:08As soon as you've traced Ronald King, there's the Ainsworth Wheel.
14:12Mr Denzel has all the details about it.
14:14Okay, I'll go now.
14:15I'll phone him later.
14:16Okay.
14:17I'll see you later.
14:18I'll go now.
14:19I'll go now.
14:20I'll go now.
14:21I'll go now.
14:26Morning.
14:27Morning.
14:28I'm looking for Ronald Oscar King.
14:31Yeah?
14:32Do you know that name?
14:35Yeah.
14:44DCS Hinkley.
14:45Thank you. I'll see you now.
14:50See it yourself?
14:56Well, Ronald.
14:58We've known each other a long time, Gerald.
15:00True, Ronald.
15:03Billy Cato comes to a meet, 0940, all wired up.
15:07CIB 2.
15:10I heard.
15:12Well, is that all you got on offer?
15:14Surely I deserve a nod, like who and why these bastards?
15:18There's nothing I can say, really.
15:22I said a nod.
15:25I mean, this isn't C11.
15:26It's definitely CIB 2.
15:28Is it something specific about me or things in general?
15:33Something specific.
15:35Specifically to do with Billy Cato
15:37and the Northwest Hospital's cleaning contract.
15:41Are they fired down the road, Gerald?
15:50So you think I'm lumbered?
15:56Resignation time.
15:57I'll get Cato and all the bastards who work with him.
16:09Look.
16:11Sergeant King.
16:13Phone.
16:20King.
16:21Mr. King.
16:23It's Ted Wingate.
16:25Your milkman.
16:27Five minutes back, a gent was making inquiries about where you lived.
16:30He looked a bit sus to me.
16:32I give him Parnell Street.
16:34I didn't give him your house number.
16:36When you say sus, did he look CID?
16:38No, kind of nutter.
16:40Funny haircut.
16:41Scruffy clobber.
16:42Hippy.
16:43Cato's mob.
16:45Appreciate it, son.
16:47Where are you?
16:49Right, I'll come and pick you up.
17:00There.
17:01There.
17:01There.
17:08Two sobs for you, son.
17:12Thanks, Matt.
17:13Leave me.
17:38Oh, Mr. Ronald King.
17:43Yeah.
17:43Come through at the back garden, will you?
17:44I don't want to make a mess in the house.
17:53Won't be a minute.
18:02Let's hear it.
18:03I've come to talk to you about some money.
18:05I told that garbage Billy Cato to stay away, send no one near.
18:08If I'm going down, he's going down.
18:11I'm going to tell every ponce in London he's a gross.
18:13No, no, no.
18:14You might be the beneficiary of some money.
18:17His money isn't enough to save him now.
18:19And I'm sorry for you, son, but you've got to take the message back loud and clear.
18:22Is he with you?
18:23Oh!
18:35Mr. King.
18:53Mr. King.
18:59I've got some money for you, Mr. King.
19:01Tell Billy his money's no good.
19:07Thank you very much.
21:28Would you believe Billy Cato, the hard man?
21:31They had him all wired up, sent him to a meet with me, but I twigged him.
21:34Wired?
21:34Yes.
21:35Billy?
21:35Yes.
21:36Billy Cato? He was diamond.
21:37My DCS has given me the nod.
21:39These yard sods have tumbled a big one.
21:42I'm on touch for the Broadly Hospital cleaning contract.
21:45Now, this is what we're going to do.
21:47You go and tell Broadly about these anti-corruption couple,
21:50tell him to get his books well sorted,
21:52because these and others are going to come call it.
21:54Now, that's one.
21:55Two, this is of sufficient seriousness
21:58that I may have to throw in the towel, quit the force.
22:01Good almighty.
22:03Now, Broadly is my fattest contract.
22:06And if I've got to piss off,
22:07I want plenty of cash to start a new career.
22:09Test the water.
22:10Tell him I'm going to hit him for a once and for all final payment.
22:13How much?
22:14Grands, many grands.
22:17Get a reaction, leave the rest to me.
22:19Ron, you owe me a ton from that other bit of business.
22:23I'll pay you.
22:23I'll pick you up at six.
22:26Yeah, right.
22:32Leave him.
22:34Russell, on that one.
22:53Bloody hell, what happened to you?
23:05Oh, er, I was mugged.
23:07Mugged?
23:08Yeah, this guy right outside his house.
23:09He took me around the back garden, hit me, and then disappeared.
23:12Look, we're here to convince an important counsel to take your case.
23:17He has to believe he can convince a judge that you're Mr. Normal.
23:21Yeah, well, I'm sorry.
23:22Oh, obviously a sentiment that comes easily.
23:26I'm sorry.
23:27And you're late.
23:28Thank God counsel's late, too.
23:34Well, Mr. Parrish will see you now.
23:35Come in.
23:49Ah, Miss Aker.
23:50Hello.
23:51This is my client, David Castle.
23:53Mr. Castle was mugged yesterday.
23:55Oh.
23:57Well, do sit down.
24:00What a series of misfortunes occurred to you, Mr. Castle.
24:04Did you at any time steal the accursed emerald eye of the little yellow god?
24:07No.
24:11Now, as I see it, your case, in a nutshell, is this.
24:16Three years and some months ago, you had an affair with the young lady,
24:19which resulted in a male child being born.
24:23Before and after its birth, you offered to marry this lady.
24:26She refused you.
24:27You now learn she plans to go ahead and have the baby adopted by her brother,
24:31who has a six-year-s-duration childless marriage.
24:35You wish still to marry the lady, if she would accept this for the sake of your son.
24:41You wish to stop this adoption order going ahead.
24:45Why?
24:48Well, because she doesn't want my son any more than I do.
24:50You had access to your son.
24:52She's let me see him seven times.
24:55Well, you probably think that what you're asking for is legally reasonable.
25:00But, well, Miss Aker will have told you.
25:01There is now case law on this. It is not at all favourable to your position.
25:05Yeah, Deirdre's... Miss Aker has told me that, yeah.
25:08You state in your affidavit your occupation as a teacher of self-defence technique.
25:14Also, genealogist.
25:18What is your living as a genealogist?
25:20I work for Hodden at Lineage Research Company.
25:23I help chase out the lost beneficiaries of wills.
25:27Intestate wills?
25:28Yeah.
25:29And what happens when you discover one of these lost heirs or heiresses?
25:34I tell them they may find something to their financial advantage
25:37if they're willing to sign a contract giving my employers 15% of their winful.
25:41I wonder if that's a precisely respectable thing to do, Mr. Castle.
25:48I think so, yeah.
25:49Well, probably, in the purview of current morality.
25:52Now, Mr. Castle, the situation in summary.
25:56Your solicitor and I have now to read through all the case law in this area.
26:01I have to put together our legal approach.
26:03That is one of two elements we need to fight this action.
26:08The second element...
26:11is you.
26:16Your appearance concerns me, Mr. Castle.
26:19No, no, no, I'm not talking about your bruises.
26:21The fact, as I read here, that you live in a bedsit.
26:24The fact that your earnings seem to be very low.
26:27And your genealogical job might be thought of as doubtful propriety.
26:31I'm going to read the case law on this.
26:35But that apart, I may decide to suggest to you
26:38that you delay an action until your house is in order.
26:42Now, the judge is concerned primarily about the child,
26:45not about emotional arguments.
26:46So, I seriously suggest to you,
26:49before we get to court,
26:50you acquire at least a three-bedroom flat.
26:52What?
26:54Oh, one bedroom for yourself,
26:55one for the au pair or nanny
26:57who will look after your son,
26:58and one for your son.
27:00I couldn't possibly afford that.
27:02I mean, you must change your job
27:03to one with a salary that will afford it, Mr. Castle.
27:07David, what Mr. Parrish is saying
27:09is that at the time of the court action,
27:11you have to look like a fair proposition
27:13as a man who has both the ways
27:15and the means to raise his son.
27:18So what do you want me to do, rob a bank?
27:29Well, yes, uh, fixtures and fittings.
27:53Fixtures and fittings?
27:55What fixtures and fittings?
27:56These few broken chairs?
27:58The only use for this load of old crap
28:00is to cremate some buggers on the banks of the Ugly,
28:02as it palms its way through Calcutta to the sea.
28:05It's a goodwill.
28:06Are you winding me up?
28:07Goodwill?
28:08I thought you were selling the place.
28:09I'm going to take a walk.
28:10Tell her.
28:11Hold on.
28:12And look, the question's got to be asked.
28:16You lot send my Bert off for a five-year-away game,
28:20and now it's a sergeant of the Met, your good self,
28:23on about making an offer for the business
28:25that he was sent down for.
28:27Well, I mean, he's going to be well-chuffed
28:29when he hears you've put in an offer, Sergeant King.
28:32Let me tell you a few facts, Mrs. McElroy.
28:34This is a debt-collecting agency.
28:36Now, debt-collecting is walking a razor-fine line.
28:39You've got to walk it like Nuriyef.
28:42Your old man walked it like an African rogue elephant.
28:45He thumped too many, too hard and too often.
28:47That's why he's enjoying Her Majesty's hospitality.
28:50Now, I'm looking for a little business.
28:52Man of debt-collecting was a good little business.
28:55Now, if the price is right, I'm interested.
28:57When's your old man's next visit?
28:59Tuesday.
29:00Tell him $15,000.
29:01That's if I can get the banks in a good move.
29:03He won't take less than $20,000.
29:05Listen, darling, will you?
29:06This business, the least a lot,
29:08is worth 7,500 sovs, top whack.
29:11All right, I know there's some funny money around at the moment
29:13with Arabs and similar rubbish.
29:15So maybe it's worth $15,000.
29:17My Bert will want to know why you want to buy.
29:20Why?
29:21I'll tell you why.
29:22For 18 bollock-ridden years,
29:24I've given my entire life to the force.
29:26Your old man knows me.
29:28He knows that over those years,
29:29sometimes in his presence,
29:31I've cut a few corners.
29:32Well, the buggering mob that are running the mech now
29:34want choir boys and eunuchs.
29:37Well, that's not the force I joined.
29:39It's not the force I want to be in.
29:40It's not the force I can be in.
29:42I want this business.
29:44Now, the price is too high.
29:45I haven't got the guilt to pay for it.
29:47Convey all that to your dearest.
29:49I'll be in touch.
29:52Make him see sense.
29:54A bird in the hand is worth two in the scrubs.
29:56A bird in the hand is worth two in the hand.
30:26Oh, hi.
30:31The landlord let me in.
30:32I hope you don't mind.
30:34No, no, not at all.
30:37I was waiting for an invitation.
30:42It was very important for me to see where you lived.
30:46Well, yeah.
30:49Exactly how long have you been here?
30:51Nine lousy months.
30:53Well, we have to do something.
30:55What's that?
30:56I knew you weren't taking it in when I told you.
30:59The judge will probably ask for this,
31:01the place that you live in,
31:03to be inspected.
31:04It won't pass.
31:06Yeah, I know I've got to move.
31:07I know that.
31:08But as quickly as possible
31:09so that it doesn't look like you've moved
31:11just for the duration of the case.
31:13And then you get custody and you come back here.
31:15Yeah, right.
31:15Do you want to go to the pub?
31:18Ah, I can't stay.
31:21I really just popped by to see the flat.
31:23Also, to give you counsel's chat,
31:24I got over the telephone.
31:25Oh, yeah.
31:28Well, he's quickly checked through the available case law.
31:31Obviously, he'll go back and read it in more detail later.
31:34And he's had some thoughts about how you'll fare in court.
31:37And?
31:39He's pessimistic.
31:41He's also doubtful, as I am, that will get legal aid.
31:44Which means that as well as renting a flat
31:46and paying for au pair's wages,
31:48you would have to fund this action as well.
31:50I find it totally unbelievable, really.
31:54I mean, if I was a vicious Tory property speculator,
31:56I'd be well on the way to getting custody my son, wouldn't I?
31:59David, the law is more than just an ass.
32:02Right.
32:04I could really do with a drink, actually.
32:06Are you sure?
32:06There's a nice pub down the road.
32:07I've got to get my cat to the vet by seven.
32:15I'm going to get my son back, Deirdre.
32:18I mean, she doesn't want him and I do.
32:20That's natural justice, isn't it?
32:22Anything else is unnatural.
32:23Right.
32:23So come up with a few ideas.
32:26Better still, surface a rich, dead, intestate relative of your own.
32:30Nobody in my family ever made any money.
32:32I'll talk to you tomorrow.
32:34Right, I'll see you out.
32:35It's all right.
32:36I can find my way down a flight of stairs.
32:39Okay.
32:42Oh, Deirdre.
32:45Well, thanks for everything you're doing, anyway.
32:48It's okay.
32:49Come on.
32:50No.
32:55So, I mean, look at it this way, Colin, my governor.
32:59Bloody hell.
33:00Check it for once and for all.
33:01Yeah, but how much of once and for all?
33:03Colin, you've got your Northwestern Hospital's cleaning contract
33:07because of my governor's past persuasion.
33:10Now, I'm marking your card, son.
33:11You'd better cultivate a warm generosity in your wallet towards my governor,
33:16or somebody who's going to learn that your contract was spent.
33:20I'll just leave you with that as a thought, mate.
33:24Where's Hilda?
33:26Oh, yeah, okay.
33:27How great to think.
33:30He said a governor will be in touch then, sir.
33:32Governor, governor, governor.
33:34All he bloody says is governor.
33:36If he once said Ronald King, DS King, would have the bugger.
33:39Have you made that clear to Broadly?
33:41Yeah.
33:41So?
33:41He said he forgot.
33:43Forgot, did he?
33:44Or didn't he forget?
33:45You mean put him on a conspiracy charge?
33:47Well, we can't all be perfect, gentlemen.
33:52Give him one more chance.
33:55Then crucify him.
34:00Has he seen her old man, your enemy, Mrs. McElroy?
34:03No.
34:03What do I tell her?
34:05Tell her another day, another dollar.
34:07Or not if I get a better proposition.
34:09Just keep the pressure on her.
34:11Will I be on a payroll?
34:13I mean, this debt collection, I don't know what you start.
34:15Jack, you're not very bright.
34:18I mean, that's how McElroy got in, brother.
34:21Debt collecting is very subtle work.
34:24All right, you're a fine man, but you're as thick as a Tory frontbencher.
34:34That's the bastard Billy Cato sent to pay me not to spill.
34:38Do me a favor, Jack.
34:40Take him round the back and hit him with a brick.
34:42There's a pile by the shed.
34:43Bit early in the day, innit?
34:46Don't be pathetic, Jack.
34:47You're an ex-contender.
34:49I've got the CIB2 on me back.
34:50I've got to watch me step.
34:52Now, hit him once and lunch on me.
34:54Once, then.
34:55Just this once.
34:55Just once.
34:56Oh, Mr. King, please.
35:13Oh, Mr. King, please.
35:17Oh, Mr. King, please.
35:17Oh, Mr. King, please.
35:19Oh, Mr. King, now to the one-time for Gideon, and for the city, in the two-time for Gideon.
35:24That's the new of the Heads, the new of this first race, is Betty.
35:28This time is from John.
35:29The final boy is a favorite, easing from five to France, on nine to four to five to two.
35:35I'll give it to seven to two.
35:42Jake!
35:44Mr. Ronald Oscar King?
35:46I'm David Castle of Hoddenet Lineage Research Company, and I wish to inform you of something
35:50to your financial advantage.
35:51You've been left ÂŁ28,000 in a will.
35:53Well, and if you consent to sign a contract giving Hoddenet Lineage a finder's fee, we
35:59will present you with the full details.
36:07Now, Mr. Ronald Oscar Edward King.
36:13Ah, lucky recipient of good fortune.
36:16Come and sit down, Mr. King.
36:20Yeah.
36:23Well, Mr. King, I think the figure is not on adjacent to ÂŁ28,000.
36:29This is our standard form.
36:32We have the information.
36:34You sign the form.
36:36We collect the 15% when you collected the wind form.
36:42I'd like to learn a little bit more about the Circles.
36:45I'm sorry.
36:46What I mean is, I don't know how big my family is.
36:50I'm possibly in a corner of some forum field, there's a whole team of them.
36:52And what you've got is an aunt who died last week.
36:56And the news hasn't percolated to me yet.
36:58And if I wait a month, it'll save divvying up your 15%, squire.
37:02I can tell you this is an uncle of yours who died intestate four years ago.
37:05Hmm.
37:06Well, I don't know.
37:07I mean, it's an ace drop.
37:09And it's very handy, seeing as I'm considering a new career prospect.
37:11But 15%.
37:13About 10.
37:1610 what?
37:1810%.
37:18I'm afraid our fees are not negotiable.
37:22Is that a fact?
37:22That'd have to take.
37:23Well, let me put it another way.
37:26Delighted as I am hearing the news, assuming that it's kosher, I want a little pause to think
37:32about it.
37:33By all means.
37:34I'll be in touch.
37:36Oh, uh, I'd like to have a word with your young man.
37:40In confidence.
37:41Well, uh, leave my office for a moment.
37:44That would suit.
37:46Thank you, squire.
37:51Right.
37:52Now, he wants 15%.
37:53On nearly 30 grand, that's four and a half grand.
37:55That's a lot of dough.
37:57Now, presumably, you've got all the information about this, which you could give to me.
38:00What's your price?
38:02You're sort of pretty disgusting, really, aren't you?
38:05What about 1,500 pounds?
38:07As it happens, I desperately need 1,500 cash, but the answer is no.
38:11All right.
38:121,750, my final offer.
38:14No, you're just not getting it, whatever the price.
38:16I couldn't do that anyway to my employer.
38:19What happens if I don't sign at all?
38:22This organisation loses out on a few hundred pounds worth of research, and I've wasted my
38:25time.
38:26So, it's in your interest in to hang about me to try and get me to sign, isn't it?
38:31If I think you might.
38:33I might.
38:34Come and have lunch.
38:36I mean, fundamentally, I don't want to know.
38:38I've got work to do.
38:39That's right.
38:40Work for us.
38:41The reason you've got work is that our bad apple bent the hospital committee.
38:45They'll give you this sodding giant contract.
38:47What do you want?
38:48This is it.
38:49You do this for us, and we'll let you off the anchor.
38:51I'm a small business suffering.
38:53I've got cash flow problems.
38:55Get on the blow of the Sergeant King.
38:57I don't have direct dealings with him.
38:59It's all through, can it?
39:02Do as we say, Mr. Broadley.
39:06Tell him that this once-and-for-all payment is well out of order, but you are prepared to
39:11be reasonable and double up the five hundred a month to a grand for a limited period.
39:16A grand?
39:17Then you tell him you want to meet him at this address to discuss the matter, only you don't
39:24meet him.
39:25You get him to Belia from this location, and this time we want his name on tape when you
39:30talk to him.
39:31I don't get this.
39:32You will.
39:33Now, these four guerrillas in your employ, Harris, Eggersley, Mahmood, and Lynn, we want
39:39to borrow of them.
39:41How come you're a karate expert?
39:46It's Aikido, actually.
39:48Yeah, well, whatever you call it.
39:51When I was 18, I joined the Royal Navy.
39:54Nobody liked it in the Navy, and you can't run away on a ship.
39:58So I learned self-defense.
39:59You learned it well.
40:02It's a science.
40:03Oh, yeah.
40:04It's a science of killing people.
40:05Very handy.
40:08I'm thinking of starting a business as a debt collector.
40:11Extraordinary.
40:12I thought you were supposed to be a policeman.
40:14I won't be for much longer, because of the bloke who owns those cars, Billy Cato.
40:19Did me a right mischief.
40:21Debt collectors have to keep up the macho beers, a hard man.
40:27Won't be a minute.
40:28Oh, uh, what did you think was the most expensive of those two cars, Daimler or the Merc?
40:36I don't know.
40:38I think the Daimler.
40:39You come on.
40:47I don't know.
40:48I don't know.
40:49I don't know.
40:50What if I'm an banker and my daughter?
41:22How hungry are you?
41:43Not particularly.
41:44Look, are you going to sign this paper or not?
41:46I want to talk to you about a different business altogether.
41:52Come and see this.
42:03Now, the last owner of this organization is doing a six for collecting debts over enthusiastically.
42:30In this filing cabinet over here, there's details of over 200,000 quid with the bulk debts.
42:37Now, I can get all this lot for 15 Gs.
42:40Your mob are getting me 30 Gs.
42:43You got any previous?
42:45Previous?
42:46Yeah, police record.
42:47Four.
42:48Now, tell the truth, because I'll be checking.
42:49No, I haven't got a police record.
42:51And you're honest?
42:52Yeah.
42:53And you can handle yourself with that karate-style thing of yours.
42:56And your present job is tracing people, just like a debt collection agency.
43:00And you're on 63 pounds a week.
43:02And you need money, you say?
43:05Yeah.
43:06So?
43:07What would you be interested in being in my employ?
43:09150 pounds a week.
43:11That's more than double the wedge you'll get in my hand.
43:13I'm interested in 150 a week.
43:15I've got to be.
43:16Let me tell you what a debt collection agency is about.
43:18It's about local councillors' favors not paid for, local bookies being knocked,
43:23and the wide boy not paying these protection subs.
43:25That's roughly the SP.
43:27You interested?
43:28Yeah.
43:29I need the money.
43:31Right.
43:31Well, over a bevy, you can tell me why you need the money.
43:33Thanks, pal.
43:49So, the surcs are that your son is about to be adopted by the brother of the slut.
43:55Instead of taking the handle out, you're resorting to the law.
43:58So you've got to ante up a lot of cash to show you're respectable.
44:01So why not work for me?
44:03Well, I'm a little bit worried that the job you're offering
44:06is going to get me in trouble with the law
44:08when I should be trying to show them how respectable I am.
44:10Yeah, well, naturally, we'll have to be careful.
44:13When's this job start?
44:17So, look, well, I've got to resign first.
44:21About fortnight to wrinkle the final deal out of McElroy.
44:25So a week to exchange of contracts.
44:27So nine to ten weeks of completion.
44:29That's how I'm offering you to starting gate three months from now.
44:31No, that's too long anyway. I'll need the money in a hurry.
44:35I don't think I'm negotiable until the premises are signed soon and delivered.
44:40Nothing can happen anyway until I jack in the force.
44:43Might be possible to anticipate a little,
44:46but I don't like anticipating anything in my business.
44:50Ronnie!
44:50Blower.
45:01King?
45:03Yes, Cole?
45:04I hear from Jack a couple of mobile mugs from out the yard are making strife.
45:09Serious enough you might elbow the uniform?
45:11Yeah, but something else has turned up as well.
45:13Kenny offered me about your once-and-for-all suggestion.
45:16I've got to tell you, it's not a runner.
45:18Oh, yeah.
45:20I can raise from 500 to a grand a month for a limited period,
45:23but I've got to see you and discuss this.
45:25You look great to be, Andy.
45:27Look, we must talk, and I'm busy, on the move.
45:30Can you meet me corner a Yardley Street and Pelham Lane, outside the Prince region?
45:33Yeah.
45:44Mmm.
45:45Well?
45:46I smell something.
45:48What's that?
45:49A rat.
45:52More than 18 years in the force, son.
45:55More than a decade in CID.
45:57Those two from CIB2, they're well overdue a move.
46:01And it all ties in with the offer of a grand a month
46:04and an unusual meeting place.
46:08I'm going to suss out the geography.
46:10I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about.
46:12All will become clear.
46:13Cop those two.
46:35If it came to the pinch,
46:37do you think you could handle one of them if I took the other?
46:40Why?
46:40You're running, King.
47:06Detective Sergeant King.
47:08Mr. Broadley sends this.
47:09He said he's very sorry, but, er, he can't make.
47:13Here.
47:15Contains one grand.
47:16All right?
47:17Mr. Broadley wants you to phone him now to discuss this
47:20and further payments.
47:22That call.
47:24So you want me to bill Broadley?
47:25Yeah.
47:26Here.
47:28There's 10p.
47:29And his personal number.

50:12No, it's not that.
50:15I need to start earning money decently now.
50:32Sergeant King has resigned forthwith.
50:39You were lovely to watch. Terrific. You were partry.
50:48I must be mad.
50:50Very much so.
50:52I'm not going to like you.
50:54I'm only doing this for my son.
50:56And I'm not going to break the law either.
50:57Yeah, yeah. Boar, boar.
51:01I work for you totally and exclusively for money.
51:04That's the only law that there is, son.
51:06Now, come on. We're conveniently located for some refreshment.
51:09Here, keep the grant. I meant it.
51:25It's a lot of money.
51:27Yeah, well, think of it as your early Christmas bonus.
