00:00Kung Fu
00:10Kung Fu is the most ancient art of self-defense.
00:13It is the result of trial and error, and the systemizing of unorganized ideas.
00:19Through the philosophy of Kung Fu, it is possible to resist the mightiest of forces and beat them.
00:25For Kung Fu is a philosophy. Its aim is to use the strength of your opponent to break him.
00:35Have you been listening to this?
00:37Yeah, I'm listening.
00:38There are five main movements based on the elements of earth, water, wood, fire and coal.
00:43Fire and what?
00:44The chief characteristics of the wood form is never to let one's right hand know what the left hand is doing.
00:51In this way, the opponent is caught off balance, and although he may recover, using these techniques he can be deceived again.
01:02Well, what happens if the opponent uses the same techniques?
01:05Well, as the master says, like does not fight like.
01:09Conflict only arises when there is a difference in philosophy.
01:14Well, such as between us and the Metropolitan Police.
01:17Yes, I think the master would agree with that.
01:22Kibber, Holtz, stand by your bunks.
01:26Right, routine search.
01:28What do you mean, routine search?
01:29Just a routine search, Kibber.
01:31We've been here nine years, we've never had a routine search.
01:33Come on, Kibber, we've got nothing to hide. We're due out of here in a couple of days.
01:37What's this?
01:40Did you set this up?
01:41I don't know what you're talking about, Collie. One minute we're reading Kung Fu...
01:46Kibber!
01:47You've grasped on me.
01:48No.
01:49Shut up, Kibber!
01:50Kibber, is this your writing, Kibber? I mean, what's all these numbers mean?
01:568 a.m. B page milk belt.
01:58You bastard!
01:59Remember the elements, Collie. Fire, wood, water and cold.
02:06Folks, you'd better come with us for your own protection.
02:09I have you out! I'll stitch you up!
02:13You bastard!
02:29try it out!
02:37Sure.
02:56Doesn't matter.
02:57You're in control.
02:58Come in.
03:00Hello, Governor.
03:02Who do you want?
03:04Mr Haskins.
03:06He's at the Target Compass.
03:08He's not. I've just come from there.
03:10In that case, stand there and if he comes up the corridor...
03:12Do what? Just give me the nod, right?
03:26You're not turning over your own Governor, are you, Governor?
03:28No, I'm merely looking for my annual report.
03:32I thought AQRs were confidential,
03:34for Detective Chief Inspectors and above.
03:36Yes, Sergeant, they are.
03:38But every spring, 5,000 officers break into their Governor's office
03:42and raid the contents of his desk
03:44trying to find out what he's written about them.
03:46Now, I know that might sound like a fruitless exercise,
03:49but when you reach Detective Inspector, you'll be doing it too.
03:54Yes, ma'am.
03:56Who's the new Target?
03:58Collie Kibber.
04:00Word is that seven days after his release,
04:02he's gonna make a million quid.
04:04Pull the other one who's got bells on him.
04:06He was a heavyweight in the 60s.
04:08That's before my time come.
04:10Yeah.
04:12Yeah, well, you know about heavyweights, don't you?
04:14They never come back.
04:16I don't believe the bastards put it in this safe.
04:20C-11 seem to think they've got a case.
04:24Yeah, well, if C-11 have got any evidence, they should nick him.
04:30If they haven't, putting 200 men on his turn, he's only gonna warn him off.
04:34What is needed is not overkill, but straightforward detection.
04:42It's in the typing pool.
04:44Detective Inspector Regan continues to get results,
04:54but undoes much of this goodwill
04:56by continually questioning the decision of superior officers.
05:00All our truths and distortions.
05:04Cibber, release 10 o'clock.
05:07Boarded London Train, 11.30.
05:10Destination Waterloo, stop.
05:12Met by chauffeur car and driven, stop.
05:15Oscar 3 in tow.
05:25Cibber's on board the roller, and we're in tow.
05:28Oscar 3 off.
05:38Yeah, but you wouldn't recognise it now.
05:41All plate glass in one way.
05:43Things have changed a lot since you went away, Mr. Cibber.
05:48Well, driving hasn't changed though, has it, Tom?
05:55Re-target conference.
05:57Watch commenced outside Cibber's house, Saturday 16th, 1pm.
06:02Home office permission granted re-telephone intercept.
06:06Authority obtained to use flat 7 Red Rose House for photographic surveillance.
06:10Can you manage that?
06:20Can you manage that?
06:21Don't you manage that?
06:22Don't you manage that.
06:23Don't you manage that?
06:24I'm alone.
06:25Let's do it.
06:26You manage that.
06:27Darnold?
06:33Where's your governor?
06:51He's at the old Bailey, sir.
06:52He asked me to stand in for him.
06:54Very good.
06:57I was just briefing these gentlemen here about information we've received on Kibber.
07:09The first item comes from Chief Superintendent Dewar, our present liaison officer at the
07:14Home Office.
07:15It's a piece of paper found in Kibber's prison overalls while they were being dry cleaned.
07:27It's a piece of paper found in Kibber's prison in Kibber's prison in Kibber's prison.
07:56I thought you were coming tomorrow.
08:15No, I was ordered off this morning.
08:26That makes it difficult.
08:30My fella's still here.
08:33Well, he'd better be gone now.
08:35I know, who was this?
08:37It's Annie.
08:38Is that Daddy?
08:39Oh.
08:41I'll tell him he'd best be gone.
08:42You must be nine by now.
09:03Nearly ten.
09:05What are you going to be when you grow up?
09:08A social worker.
09:10Yeah.

11:40statement oats tightness oats do you know much underrated fairer got an IQ of 160 what about this
11:53suspense AC well in Oates's statement he reckons that suspense means the suspension bridge at
12:01Hammersmith T being the tide which is one hour later after the 21st a likely story
12:07you know that suspense account is something you get in banks there can be millions in it is that

15:35Mr. Rigan you're being unfair

18:41Monday the 18th, 9am.
18:58Subject collected by Brunhead, driving Harvest Gold MGB, H-O-O-8-N.
19:06Registered keeper shown as Mrs Linset, 6 Ladbrook Gardens, West 11.
19:12No trace local collator's office, no trace CRO.
19:16Believed call girl.
19:202.30, subject visited National Provincial Bank Temple Bar.
19:25Seen to go to Foreign Desk.
19:27Inquiries in hand through Chief Security Officer read details of transaction.
19:32Details on separate sheet.
19:337.30, subject returned home again in MGB.
19:39Two girls in tow, Mrs Linset and A.N. Other.
19:48They've got a camera up there, I'm sure of it.
19:50Then why don't you close the curtains?
19:54Because I don't want to give them that satisfaction.
19:56You know, I wouldn't give those bastards an inch.
20:07Come here.
20:10Yeah, Andrew.
21:11How can I stand back?
21:30You shall go to the ball.
21:51What's the news about Oates?
21:53I've arranged how the quarry dragged.
21:55I don't think he was in that car, do you?
21:58He hired it.
21:59I assume from these photographs, Mrs. Kibber has left the house.
22:06Yeah, it's gone to Mum's.
22:07A wise move.
22:08What about your lady?
22:10Which one?
22:11The one at the hotel.
22:13Think she was a plant?
22:14No.
22:15Well, did you ask her to phone you before she checked out?
22:19Yeah.
22:20Did she?
22:27What about Rains?
22:28I'm beginning to think he doesn't exist.
22:30He does.
22:31That's him.
22:35Where was that taken?
22:37Outside Kibber's, the 18th.
22:38Do you want him picked up?
22:40If you can find him.
22:43Don't take it out on me.
22:44You think if I hadn't have gone back to see that bird,
22:46Oates would still be alive and helping you with your inquiries?
22:49Well, since you asked me, yes.
22:50Well, I've given you my opinion.
22:52Oates is not dead.
22:53He's done a bunk.
22:54Furthermore, he's involved with Kibber right up to his neck.
22:57That picture says so.
22:58All that picture says is that Rains works for Kibber
23:01and he put Oates in the hole.
23:03Let's just agree to differ, all right, Governor?
23:14You knew we were being followed.
23:21Yeah.
23:23Well, doesn't it get on your nerves?
23:26The game is not to let it show.
23:30If we get out here...
23:44The game is not to let it show.
24:14Fire, wood, and water, remember?
24:20This is Mr. Finch, Titus.
24:22He's in charge of the banking side of the operation.
24:24I thought you should meet each other.
24:26We're very pleased with you.
24:28I didn't think it was necessary to meet at this stage.
24:30We'd like to know your face in case anything goes wrong.
24:34What about the passport?
24:36I've so got to go.
24:37It's a good likeness.
24:46Yes, well, don't forget to sign it.
24:48With my name.
24:50I still don't understand why you want a passport with his photo and your name.
24:55The art of deception, oh boy.
24:57It won us the last war, you know.
25:00You were a conscientious objector.
25:02Yeah.
25:03Is there anything else?
25:04Yeah.
25:05Horace is losing his bottle.
25:07You're going to have to talk to him.
25:09Well, that's going to be difficult.
25:10I've got half the squad camped outside my door.
25:12That's what I told him.
25:14Why don't you talk to him?
25:15He won't listen to me.
25:17I thought that was the whole point of the dodge.
25:20That I'd take the stick, leaving you free to organise.
25:22Well, I have organised everything except Horace.
25:26Horace is primed, he's been rehearsed, he's been wound up like a clockwork rabbit.
25:31All he wants is a bit of reassurance.
25:34A word from the captain before the team takes the field.
25:38You know what you're asking me to do?
25:40You're asking me to take a hell of a gamble.
25:42That's the name of the game, isn't it, Collie?
25:44Anyway, it's too late to replace him.
25:47What about Finch?
25:48Not me.
25:50I can't handle a man like Rains.
25:52You can do whatever you like.
25:55My job is behind a desk.
25:57It's strange, isn't it?
25:58So often, creatures without backbones have the hardest shells.
26:05Okay, I'll talk to him.
26:08There'll have to be some sort of diversion to get me clear of the house.
26:11You want me to work on it?
26:12No.
26:14No, I think there's something.
26:15I don't want to see you until we're on the other side of the Atlantic.
26:18There's your driver, with two of Kilburn's finest.
26:27Drop Finch at a tube and then get rid of this car as soon as you'll throw.
26:30Yeah.
26:30Oh, good luck, Collie.
26:33You just carry out your part to the Cape and we won't need the luck.
26:36What's the matter, Tom?
26:49We've got some agro here with a local bill.
26:52Get in and start the motor.
26:53Excuse me, sir.
27:02Excuse me, sir.
27:02Is this your car?
27:03Yeah.
27:04Could I see your driving license, sir?
27:05No.
27:07And furthermore, you can't pick me up.
27:08I'm a squad target.
27:09They're tailoring.
27:12You can see them over there.
27:14They're in that Cortina.
27:15Would you mind waiting here a moment, sir, while I verify that fact?
27:21Take it away, Tom.
27:28Hey, you.
27:29Stop.
27:30It's nice to have friends.
27:36Sergeant Carter?
27:37What progress of the squad to report?
27:39Well, sir, we've traced the route of the fish vans on Friday.
27:43There are less than six of them work in the area.
27:45Now, hold on.
27:48Look.
27:50We've circled the areas where the garbage is collected on a Friday morning before 9 a.m.
27:55That gives us one intersection here.
27:57That no-man's land beyond Staines.
27:59I've now got men checking the playgroups to see if anybody living there works in a bank,
28:04presumably owns a car, and has a wife and two children.
28:07What about Kibber?
28:09Well, he made his usual rounds, had the usual callers.
28:12The details, Sergeant.
28:15Well, the visits have all been logged, sir.
28:17It's the usual rogues gallery without our photographers working full-time.
28:20Yes, I've seen some of the photographs.
28:22Yeah, well, in the evenings, he has his girlfriends.
28:25He seems passing to them in pairs.
28:28Yes, Sergeant.
28:29But nevertheless, I feel that a rather unnecessary amount of film is being devoted to this particular
28:36aspect of his activities.
28:37He always leaves his curtains open.
28:42As if he was putting on a show.
28:46In your opinion, Sergeant Carter, should we call off the surveillance on Kibber?
28:53No, sir.
28:54No.
28:54What about Mr. Regan?
28:57Well, you'll have to ask him that, sir.
29:00Why does he never deign to come here?
29:03Well, he's got that case at the Old Bailey, and then there's the day-to-day running of the squall.
29:11I thought that should be your job.
29:13And, of course, he's pursuing a few of his own inquiries.
29:16Well, it's just the way my governor works.
29:20He doesn't like to be...
29:24Part of a team?
29:30Team?
29:31Well, we're all part of a team here, aren't we?
29:33In the greatest crime-fighting unit in the world.
29:36It's just that, um...
29:38Well, my governor believes that operations like these are counterproductive.
29:43Operating in such a large force, uh...
29:46Well, we show our hand, giving the initiative to the other side.
29:49Well, let's hope events prove him wrong.
30:01Yes.
30:01Yes.
30:02I think it's all right.
30:32It's time you took your clothes off.
30:44Take your time.
30:45Watch out.
30:45They're closing them.
30:46I've got it.
30:48Hmm.
31:02What are you doing?
31:15I'm going.
31:16What about me?
31:17Here.
31:18Collie, before you go.
31:19Here, take this.
31:22Jesus, Collie.
31:26And remember, we were here all night, making love.
31:29All night.
31:31Remember?
31:31We're here all night.
31:45What are you doing?
31:47Oh, my God.
32:17Oh, my God.
32:25Squad office. Jigio speaking.
32:29What?
32:47WAH!
32:53huh
32:55What did you get to this day?
32:57you knew me
32:58you knew me
33:00me
33:00why do you hit me?
33:01Why do you hit me?
33:03If you sit, you don't want to die
33:04I'll go
33:06MAH!
33:07MAH!
33:08I can't
33:08I'll go
33:10MAH!
33:10MAH!
33:11MAH!
33:12MAH!
33:13MAH!
33:14MAH!
33:15Let's go.
33:45What's the matter, son? You've got doubts.
33:53Something bugging you.
33:58I understand how you feel.
34:00I'm going...
34:02I'm going through the same anxieties.
34:04I work out the permutations.
34:06Even when they come out right, I get this nagging feeling in the back of my head.
34:11I'm worried about you going to America.
34:15You're worried about me going to America.
34:17Well, you think I won't come back.
34:19You don't trust me?
34:24You want someone else to go in my place?
34:27All right.
34:28Just as an example, you give me the name of one person that you would trust, that I would trust,
34:33and all the rest of the team would trust to go to the States and pick up that money.
34:35Not easy.
34:39You've got the easy job, if you know what I mean.
34:42But someone's got to go to that bank in Manhattan and finish that money.
34:47Someone very cool and collected.
34:51Up to you, Horace.
34:52I'm not putting any pressure on you.
34:53You're the best, Horace.
35:06That's why you were selected.
35:08You remember that.
35:09Okay, let's get the hell out of here.
35:29Airport, Mr Kipper.
35:30There's blood and teeth all over the floor.
35:35Poor old Toby's weeping.
35:36They smashed all his lenses.
35:38Dave's in hospital and Wyatt's downstairs with concussion.
35:40Wasn't Wyatt on watch outside Kibber's place?
35:42Well, yes, Governor, but he heard the call and since he was closest...
35:45Where's Kibber?
35:46Well, shall we go and knock him up?
35:47See if he's still there?
35:50I think you should knock up Detective Superintendent Boothroyd.
35:54I thought that was your job, Governor.
35:56You know, explain what happened.
35:58How many arrests have you made?
36:00Three.
36:01Get him on the charge sheet, then get a search warrant for Kibber's place.
36:04Meet me outside his house at six.
36:19Where's Kibber?
36:21He's gone.
36:23Yeah, that's the one.
36:51Back up with you.
36:53Back up with you.
36:54Back up with you.
36:55Back up with you.
36:56Back up with you.
36:57Back up with you.
36:58Back up with you.
36:59Back up with you.
37:00Back up with you.
37:01Back up with you.
37:02Back up with you.
37:03Back up with you.
37:04Back up with you.

37:13Back up with you.
37:14Back up with you.
37:15Back up with you.
37:16Back up with you.
37:17Back up with you.
37:18Back up with you.
37:19Back up with you.
37:20Back up with you.
37:21Back up with you.
37:22Please excuse me, love. I'm a police officer. Could I use your phone? It's rather urgent.
37:45Of course. I thought you must be up to something.
37:52Sir, just over there on the wall.
37:56Oh, thank you very much.
38:12Ah, Mrs Bradshaw. Hello, my name's Detective Sergeant Carter from Scotland Yard.
38:18I've been... Oh.
38:22First you don't succeed.
38:24Thank you very much.
38:36Mrs Bradshaw? It's me again, Sergeant Carter.
38:40I was just wondering when would it be convenient to see your husband?
38:44Six o'clock. Right, thank you, madam.
38:48Yes, I do appreciate that. I was married once myself.
38:52What's she like, this Mrs Bradshaw?
39:00What?
39:02Well, I presume you do know her, Mrs...
39:04Smedley.
39:06Isn't it a bit unusual for her to lock her door and not accept any calls?
39:10No.
39:12Oh.
39:13How would you describe her, then?
39:15Well, she's something of an extrovert.
39:18She and her husband have rather got the reputation round here for being swingers.
39:23Swingers round here?
39:25Oh, they go all over the place.
39:28Mind you, that is only what I've heard.
39:34No first-hand knowledge?
39:37No.
39:40I don't go into team games myself.
39:45Where's your husband?
39:47He's at the office.
39:51What does he do?
39:54He's in insurance.
39:56And Mr Bradshaw, what does he do?
39:59He's at the bank.
40:04Hello, mates.
40:07Of a sort.
40:08He drives Todd into the city each day.
40:11Todd lost his licence.
40:13So, er, we don't get out much.
40:17Did he drive in there this morning?
40:18Yeah.
40:19Got two cars, have they?
40:21No.
40:22Well, what's that BMW doing in the drive?
40:26They don't have a BMW.
40:29He only has a Mini.
40:31Oh, erm...
40:32Yeah, Computer Bureau, please.
40:34Yeah, DS car at the flying square.
40:36Look, can you check a maroon BMW, whiskey-papa-papa, four-five-eight Juliet?
40:43Yeah.
40:44Do you know what bank it works for?
40:46No.
40:48Well, my husband would.
40:52What's she done?
40:53Mrs Bradshaw?
40:55Oh, nothing.
40:56We were trying to help her.
40:57She sounded frightened.
40:58So would you be if you were trying to have it off with one of your friends and a policeman knocked at the door.
41:03So what do you think's going on?
41:04Well, isn't it?
41:06Er, yeah, yeah.
41:09Oh, I see.
41:10Well, thank you.
41:14Can I see upstairs?
41:17It's like joining the Masons.
41:19All over again.
41:25Regan.
41:26Governor.
41:27I've called at the Barhead Road address.
41:29And Mrs Bradshaw.
41:31Well, she won't come to the door.
41:33I've talked to her on the phone.
41:34She sounds nervous.
41:37Well, local speculation is she's in bed with her lover.
41:40Well, what do you think?
41:41Well, there's a stolen BMW in the driveway.
41:44It was Nick from West Hendon, nine o'clock this morning.
41:47Where's the husband?
41:48He works in the bank.
41:57Come in.
42:12Detective Inspector Regan.
42:13Yes.
42:15I take it you've already met our Chief Security Officer.
42:18He wants to interview Mr Bradshaw.
42:21He's not in any trouble, is he?
42:22Not with the law, sir.
42:24Well, I'm sure that Murray can take you to him.
42:26He's not in his office, sir.
42:28Well, maybe he's still out to lunch.
42:29It's his turn to host the club bar today, sir.
42:33Oh.
42:34With your permission, sir, I'd like to search the building.
42:37Very good, Murray.
42:41And if you've got a moment, sir, I'd like to ask you some questions about Bradshaw.
42:46I mean, what is his job here?
42:48Bradshaw?
42:50He's in foreign settlements.
42:51He has a bright future.
42:54Supposing pressure was to be put on him?
42:56No pressure?
42:57Such as the kidnapping of his wife and children.
43:00I beg your pardon?
43:02It's our belief that Mrs Bradshaw has been under observation for some weeks
43:05by men we consider to be dangerous criminals.
43:08Now, today, she locked herself in the house, drew all the blinds,
43:12and is reluctant to answer the telephone.
43:15Now, all this could just be coincidences, but, er...
43:17Well, that's why I'd like to speak to her husband.
43:26Now, that barely indicates the end of our trading for the week.
43:29I presume your worst fears have not been realised.
43:33Now, any attempt at extortion would have happened by now, would it not?
43:35I must say you tapped Sir Redhoff once you get the bit between your teeth.
43:40No, thank you, sir.
43:44Yes?
43:46So, did you find him?
43:47Connors did, sir.
43:49What?
43:51Was anything the matter?
43:53It's a state of shock.
43:54Hello, Bill, it's Jack Regan.
44:08Listen, give me everything you can spare.
44:10Seal off the area and keep George Carter informed of what's going on.
44:13Sit down, my dear Walter, as I get your brand.
44:15Oh, by the way, this is Inspector Regan from Scotland Yard.
44:18He's very concerned about you.
44:20It's too late.
44:21No, no.
44:22Look, Mr Bradshaw, we've got a good idea of what's going on.
44:26Tanya.
44:28Is she in danger?
44:31Do you want us to phone her?
44:32No.
44:33Not yet.
44:36What time does your daughter get back from school?
44:38I mean, we should call the school, Mr Bradshaw.
44:40I've already done that.
44:42Thank you, sir.
44:44When did you get the phone call?
44:47Um, about 11.
44:49What do they want?
44:50They wanted me to send a telex to New York at 2 o'clock this afternoon, precisely.
44:55What was the content of that telex?
44:58It's on file.
44:59Please, Mr Bradshaw, do your best to remember.
45:06To NYSBB, test code 367214476, please pay to the instructions of Mr Kibber on 22 October 1976, the sum of $2 million, figures $2 million, on production of his UK passport number 9356472, signed Merkbank.
45:16But you didn't have the fixed key to the New York State Bank.
45:22It was easy.
45:23I simply went in and asked Wishart for it.
45:24The Tesco was already in my keeping.
45:25All I had to do was get down to the telex and send it myself.
45:29Telephone New York.
45:30Telephone New York.
45:31Tell them to withhold payment.
45:33It was sent at 2 p.m.
45:35What time do the banks open?
45:379.30 their time.
45:38It's 10 o'clock now.
45:39Well, they're away, aren't they?
45:40Is it that easy?
45:41Is it that easy?
46:11Now, here's someone.
46:24You must stay in the car, Mr. Bradshaw.
46:25Put my wife in there!
46:26Stay in the car.
46:30Regan!
46:32Regan, what's the situation?
46:34Sir, the assistant commissioner's on the phone.
46:35Do you want to speak to him?
46:37Oh.
46:39The right mess I've made.
46:41Hey, two million, I heard.
46:42I still can't believe it.
46:44What are we going to do about this lot?
46:47Well, the BMW's still there.
46:49Let's get at them before the TV arrive and turn it into a freak show.
46:55Yes, sir. Of course, sir, we'll try and avoid it.
46:57I shall get on the blower and try and talk them out.
47:00Who's that?
47:01He's the boss.
47:02I thought he was the boss.
47:04No, he's the government.
47:05Yes, sir.
47:06Oh.
47:07Yes, sir, I'll keep in touch.
47:10That was the assistant commissioner.
47:12Oh, excuse me.
47:13He's...
47:15Who is that?
47:16Hello, Mum.
47:17She lives here.
47:18I can't talk to you about the police rear.
47:20No, I'll call you back.
47:23Bye.
47:25He's been in touch with New York.
47:27Someone walked out of the bank with two million dollars.
47:31In fact, the officers insisted on escorting him as far as his car.
47:35But it wasn't Kibber.
47:37Kibber was positively identified getting on the Miami plane.
47:40Well, if it wasn't Kibber who...
47:42From the description, it sounds like tight as oats.
47:51I think we've been sold a very good dummy.
47:55Look, what are you doing about my wife?
47:59I was just going to put a call through, sir, if you'd dial the number.
48:02I shall ask them to get into that BMW, drive down the hill, switch off the engine, and throw away the ignition key.
48:11Thank you, sir.
48:18Hello.
48:19I am Detective Chief Superintendent Boothroyd.
48:24I wish to speak to the leader of the men who are holding you prisoner, Mrs. Bradshaw.
48:31What did you say?
48:34When?
48:35Why did you not notify us earlier, Mrs. Bradshaw?
48:43He is your husband, Mrs. Bradshaw.
48:46Darling?
48:49Lunch time.
48:51They just walked down.
48:52We're coming in for now.
48:54Said they had the daughter.
48:55Told Mrs. Bradshaw to stay put till she came home.
48:58The BMW's still in the drive.
49:01All part of the cover.
49:02They knew we wouldn't rush them.
49:05They knew we wouldn't rush them.
49:14We've been done.
49:24You're all right?
49:28Where'd that date?
49:35A massive defeat for the forces of law and order, wouldn't you say, Gav?
49:47Stay out.
49:48You can't win them all.
49:49Too true, son.
49:50Too true.
49:51LBC 261 medium wave, where news comes first.
50:07And a newsflash from LBC.
50:09News is just coming in about a wage snatch in the city,
50:12in which thieves are reported to have got away with over £100,000.
50:15That's part of the city now.
50:16This big mess.
50:16So many vines that have gone home around here.
50:17Yeah.
50:18But there's the thing here.
50:18Are you guys fleeing for that?
50:18Comelo25?
50:21Good night.
50:22Goodbye, I'm 14 weeks.
50:23Good night.
50:24Good morning.

50:25Keep on your females but youá�s who is a mess,
50:27and though do, don't you?

50:29Good night.
50:30Good night.
50:30Have you see how do these days,
50:31The Vieira of Monsieur by the electron temperament are in the stones.
50:31Throw in as weird and natural teachers,
50:32Just go in the audience and we think youá!
50:33How do you want you so much care?
50:35I have one thing in the Neither way,
