00:00I want none of this out of sight, out of sight.
00:30Just because I'm not in England does not mean I cannot be reached.
00:33I want none of this English Channel mentality.
00:36The telephone lines do not stop at Dover.
00:39Furthermore, all executive decisions will be referred to me,
00:42and I'm relying on you more to make sure they are.
00:45Five minutes for off, Mr Bishop. Who are you?
00:47Your steward, sir. Out!
00:50I want you to phone me on the hour, every hour,
00:53just like a weather report. Understand?
00:56Yes, Mr Bishop.
00:58What about Archimedes?
01:00He's in the dog's home, sir.
01:02Tragic. Absolutely tragic.
01:04They want to know a poor animal on a lousy boat like this.
01:07I mean, it's not exactly the Queen Mary, is it?
01:10Well, you wanted a guy up this way, sir, in the shipping line.
01:13I know, I know.
01:15Have you inspected it?
01:17The ship?
01:18You fool, the dog's home.
01:20Of course, sir. It's a good one.
01:23I don't want good. I want the best.
01:25As far as I'm concerned, the major source of solar radiation shines out of that dog.
01:30The gangways near off, sir.
01:32Out!
01:34The boys and I, as a token of our respect,
01:38just a little goodbye present.
01:41What do I want from the present?
01:44Here, are you trying to bury me?
01:46Now, remember, tell the boys...
01:50I'll always be watching them.
01:52At the first sign of disloyalty, the first hint of double-crossing,
01:56they can take my...
01:58A doggy bowl!
02:02We had it made up at Asprey's.
02:05Look, it's got his name on the side.
02:08Archimedes.
02:10Yeah.
02:12Tell the boys, if any of them step out of line,
02:14they'll be sent to my punishment people.
02:15That's a very kind thought, Morgan.
02:17Sir, unless you're coming with us.
02:20Goodbye, Mr Bishop.
02:21Au revoir.
02:22Remember, this is only a tactical withdrawal.
02:25He who hits and runs away lives to fight another day.
02:28Yes, sir.
02:31Archimedes, I take this as a tribute to the both of us.
02:34Holtz.
02:38Holtz, shipping.
02:41This is Detective Inspector Regan here, Scotland Yard.
02:44I'm making inquiries about a man named Bishop.
02:47No, not all the phones at Scotland Yard are coin-operated.
02:50The Commissioner shares a party line with the Queen.
02:54No, I'm afraid I cannot tell you the serial number of my warrant card.
02:59But Bishop may be travelling on the Subad.
03:03She sailed already.
03:06Yeah.
03:08Yeah, well, thanks for your kind cooperation.
03:15She sailed!
03:20The End
03:21The End
03:25guitar solo
03:55guitar solo
04:25Oh, come on, Moose
04:37Don't waste my time
04:39I know you know
04:43You know I know you know
04:45So tell us where he's gone
04:47I'm asking you once again
04:52Where is Mr. Bishop?
04:56He's gone, boss
04:57I know he's gone, but where's he gone?
04:59He just left, boss
05:00Ah, but he didn't just leave, did he?
05:05He paid off the servants
05:06He put covers on the furniture
05:07He sold his Rolls Royce
05:08He even put the dog into her home
05:10Now, all that takes time
05:12One minute he was here
05:14The next minute he was gone
05:15But where, man?
05:18Where?
05:19He left no forwarding address
05:21All right, take him in
05:27I'll sort out the charges later
05:31Charges, boss?
05:32Yes, Moose
05:33Charges
05:35Hello, Mr. Regan
05:44Hello, Moose
05:44Pringle will get nothing out of him
05:49Mr. Pringle
05:51What about Bishop?
05:52Clean away
05:53Find out where the dog's been parked
05:55Keep an eye on her
05:56The dog
05:57Right
06:03Watch out for a tendon
06:05Thank you and good night
06:11I found this in a milk bottle
06:13Written in his own hand
06:14No more milk
06:17Well, he's right, isn't he?
06:20Where he's going, it'll be all champers and chips
06:22Birds with no bras and all that
06:24Find where Pringle's taken the moose
06:26Use your charm
06:27Go dark in the cells
06:28And find out what he knows
06:29Okay, go
06:30Play Pringle up as a heavy
06:32Now, promise him anything you like
06:34But try and get some kind of information
06:35Right
06:36Don't you ever knock
06:44Captain's compliment, sir
06:45I always make a point, steward
06:47I'm never letting alcohol touch my lips
06:49Until we're out of territorial waters
06:50But we are, sir
06:51Oh, we couldn't have opened the bond, could we?
06:53Oh, what in that case, sir
06:55Why don't you join me?
06:57Nice thing about a cruise ship
06:58Is the cheapness of the boones
06:59The nice thing about this ship
07:00Is that it's not British
07:01I won't talk to you about Bishop Gunn
07:08It would appear that he's clean away
07:10Mr Pringle's wary now
07:12Mr Pringle is fraud squad
07:14He's been given carte blanche
07:16He's not a copper, he's an accountant
07:17Aren't we all?
07:20He didn't join the force
07:21He fell through a hole in the Inland Revenue
07:23Well, that's the future, Jack
07:24It will be
07:25If we don't pull our fingers out, Gov
07:26You're supposed to keep academics
07:29Like Pringle off my back
07:31I want you in the canteen
07:33Sticking knives between his shoulder blades
07:35You know, somewhere out there
07:39Beyond the post office tower
07:40There's a vast committee called Pringle
07:42Constantly regenerating itself
07:45Yeah, well, let's be practical
07:48All right
07:49I'll arrange a meeting between you
07:52Pringle
07:53And Manon
07:54The commanders away sick
07:55It won't do you any good
07:57You'll be eaten alive
07:59All right, Jack
08:11What's the grievance?
08:13For the last two years
08:14Members of my squad have been investigating Bishop
08:16With a view to finding something big enough to bury him
08:19We conducted the inquiries in the usual painstaking manner
08:22That is, from the ground downwards
08:24At the same time
08:26We had over 100 other cases on our books
08:28So our resources were limited
08:30Nevertheless
08:30We were just about to put something together
08:33When I get the news that Bishop has fled the country
08:35And I'm informed that the superintendent
08:37Is about to take over the inquiry
08:39And the squad is being told to back off
08:41As I understand it
08:45Over the past five years
08:47Neither your squad nor any other element in the job
08:49Has been able to obtain anything
08:51That looked remotely like a conviction against Bishop
08:53I was brought in because of his activities in the city
08:57He was buying into companies where his presence represented a threat
09:00He has recently obtained interest in the Bantram Group
09:03This group has interest in small arms manufacture
09:07Security companies
09:08And Popple Jays, their printers
09:10Are actually under contract for the Bank of England
09:12This isn't the Open University, sir
09:14We don't need a lecture
09:15My brief came from the Assistant Commissioner Crime
09:19In plain and simple language
09:21It was
09:21To warm Bishop off
09:23That was not the brief
09:25That was the result
09:26Bishop has done a bunk
09:27And two years of painstaking inquiries
09:29Have gone down the drain
09:30Because someone in the city overreacted
09:32When he started making waves
09:34Oh, I don't know
09:35The only other conclusion is that you blew it
09:37It is a fact that now he's left the country
09:42He's no longer a threat to Bantram
09:44It is also a fact that now he's left the country
09:46We have the problem of getting him back
09:48I don't think we really want him back, do we?
09:52You may not want him back, sir, but I do
09:54That man has personally sliced people into pieces
09:57And canned them at his plant in Croydon
09:59You think I'm joking?
10:01That's why I'll talk, Jack
10:02I want him back
10:05And how are you going to do that?
10:09Any way I can
10:11You're on thin ice, Regan
10:16The Norfolk police have got a lead on the Greenberg killing
10:23They've arrested Charlie Norton
10:25Forget Bishop
10:27Hand your files and information to the Superintendent
10:30I want you to go out there and interrogate Charlie Norton
10:34Yes, sir
10:39Squad office, please, love
10:52How'd you get off?
10:54They destroyed me
10:55Well, I did warn you
10:56They picked up Charlie Norton
10:57They get stuck right into one case
10:59And another comes up right out of the past
11:01It's just my luck
11:02Regan
11:03You're not going to give up as easily as that, are you?
11:07Oh, George?
11:08Hello, Gov
11:09I've got the moose
11:10What happened?
11:11Pringle let him go, didn't he?
11:12Great
11:13So I nicked him again
11:15Where are you?
11:17Downstairs
11:18What do you mean, downstairs?
11:20In the car park
11:20You're breaking all the rules today, aren't you?
11:24Yeah
11:24Well, what do you want me to do with him?
11:26We're a bit exposed down here
11:28Keep him out of sight till six
11:30Then bring him up
11:31We've got to hang on a bit, moose
11:38Do you mind me asking where we are?
11:43Scotland Yard
11:44Out of the frying pan
11:46Into the fire, so to speak
11:48Oh, I wouldn't say that
11:50You're in Mr. Regan's hands now
11:52Getting popular, aren't you?
11:58Well, popular isn't exactly the word I'd use
12:00You see, we live in a world of supply and demand
12:02And you are in demand
12:04Like a toilet roll
12:07If you say so, moose
12:10You are right, Gov
12:22Bishop's on the Subad heading for the Med
12:24There's been two more calls
12:27Yeah?
12:27The Norfolk Constabulary called
12:29They're awaiting your confirmation when you're going up there
12:31Tomorrow night
12:32You and Carter also be coming along
12:34Me, Gov?
12:35Yeah, that's right
12:36It's me night off tomorrow
12:37Was, I'm short-handed
12:39Anything else?
12:42Mr. Pringle's office
12:43They called to say Sergeant Carter's rearrested moose
12:46And they're not well pleased
12:48No, I didn't expect they would be
12:51What is this, may I ask?
12:54It's an electronic surveillance device
12:55It's been used by Mr. Haskins
12:58To chart the approach of the tea trolley for the last week
13:00Which is why we've been getting our tea up for a chance
13:03Oh, I see
13:04Well, what are you doing?
13:04I know it's a regular
13:05But I'm going to see moose in the office
13:06When he leaves, I want him tailed
13:08So get out there quick
13:09Hello, Mr. Matthews
13:15Hello, moose
13:16Nice offices you've got here
13:18Come on
13:19First time I've ever seen them
13:21Come in, moose
13:24Sit down
13:26Mr. Pringle's going to put you away for a long time
13:40Nothing on me
13:42He practically told me as much
13:44He'll find something
13:45Yeah, he's a very persistent man, the superintendent
13:48Sergeant, canteen's open
13:50You must be hungry
13:51Do you want anything, Gav?
13:56Moose?
13:58Bring him up a bacon roll
13:59You like two?
14:01Two bacon rolls
14:02Carton, there's a good fellow
14:11Yes
14:12We had a nice chap coming up in the cart
14:14Loyal but thick
14:16Thick
14:18Thick
14:19However, loyalty's a rare thing these days, isn't it?
14:24That's why I appreciate your loyalty to Mr. Bishop
14:26You do?
14:28I understand it
14:29You understand what?
14:33Your loyalty
14:34After all, you've been with him seven years, isn't it?
14:38He told me so himself
14:40Mr. Bishop?
14:42Yeah
14:42You know how much he trusted you
14:44Jack
14:45He said to me
14:46Apart from you
14:48There's only one other person I really trust
14:50You?
14:52Me?
14:53Me and you?
14:56Of course, that was some time ago
14:58Before all this blew up
15:00He's had some bad words to say about you and Mr. Regan of late
15:05Of course
15:06Because I'm in the invidious situation, aren't I?
15:09Yeah, I'm conducting a flaming investigation against him, aren't I?
15:13See, all I could do is warn him about Pringle
15:15And tell him when it was essential that he get out
15:17Of course, the way you were concerned
15:20He didn't think that Pringle would arrest you
15:22Let alone put up these conspiracy charges
15:24What charges? He let me go
15:27Mr. Bishop gave me orders that if Pringle was to take any liberties
15:30I was to get you out of his clutches
15:32And I have
15:36You shouldn't have done that, Mr. Regan
15:45You'll get into trouble
15:46Don't you worry, Moose
15:47But listen, Sergeant Carter will be back in a minute
15:50With those bait and rolls
15:51So we're going to work out how we can help Mr. Bishop
15:54We haven't much time
15:55Now, what about his dog?
15:58Is there anything we can do there?
15:59It stands to the reason, doesn't it?
16:25It was Charlie Norton
16:26The deceased was doing Charlie's wife
16:29The gun was stiff with Charlie's prince
16:32The suspect drives off in Charlie's car
16:35It stands to reason, doesn't it?
16:37It was Charlie who rubbed him
16:39I'd have thought the case was prove me
16:41You're a genius, Matt
16:43These reports connect Bishop with the filling stations
16:51It seems he was trying to move in on the independents
16:54Yes, I know that, Inspector
16:57This one in particular, Shepherds Bush
17:00One of his companies brought into the service station
17:03Through a dummy partner
17:04A certain amount of violence was used
17:07Hmm, but no court proceedings
17:10The owners didn't have a leg to stand on
17:12Literally speaking
17:13Next
17:15This is our personal file on Bishop
17:20Background, habits and associates
17:22He's very fond of Gilbert and Sullivan
17:24Gilbert and Sullivan
17:27And, of course, dogs
17:28Dogs are his
17:30Next
17:32This is the stolen car file
17:37He was involved in exporting stolen cars to Cyprus
17:40Well, we're not going to get him on anything like that
17:42I mean, the Director of Public Prosecutions isn't
17:44There's enough here to go to the DPP with
17:46What for?
17:48Extradition
17:48Next
17:51Roberts and Lester, theatrical agents
17:57A funny thing happened to Roberts
17:59On his way to the theatre one night
18:00He fell down a hole
18:01What would Bishop want with a theatrical agency?
18:05Cash flow
18:06Next
18:10Next
18:11Next
18:11Next
18:12Next
18:12Next
18:13Next
18:13Next
18:14Next
18:14Next
18:15Next
18:15Next
18:16Of course, I can't believe that Charlie did this all on his own
18:18Why not?
18:20He's got pride like the rest of us
18:22Look, if someone was having it away with your wife
18:24And stealing your life savings
18:26Well, you wouldn't write to the papers about it, would you?
18:29No
18:29No
18:30Neither did Charlie
18:31So he got out his holland and holland
18:34Blew the geezer's head off
18:35It's a classic case of crime passion now
18:37Did anyone recall Thorpe?
18:40Oh, from the dog's home, you mean?
18:42Yeah, you did put Thorpe under the kennels, didn't you?
18:44Well, yeah, but you haven't told me to take him off
18:45Well, I know it didn't tell you to
18:47But I can't think of everything, can I?
18:49Well, I'm sorry, Gav
18:50I just got so carried away with this caper
18:51Well, what were your last instructions to him?
18:53Well, wait there till he was relieved
18:55How long ago was that?
18:58Three days
19:00There are some times, George
19:04When I believe you're incapable of looking after a potty plant
19:08Let alone personnel
19:09Sorry, Gav
19:11Oscar, two, three
19:28Inspector Regan's in Norfolk
19:35Oh, it's you, Thorpe
19:37Why didn't you say, sir?
19:39Er, hang on, there's a message for you
19:41Yes, it says, don't worry, help is on the way
19:44I've been here for three days
19:47I'm starving
19:47I need a fresh change of clothes
19:50I'm dying of exposure, sir
19:53Yes, well, he says, if you need any help
19:55Try and contact a D.S. Gallagher of the local division
19:58He says he's the only human being around there
20:01Thank you, sir
20:02I'm looking for D.S. Gallagher
20:26Detective Sergeant Gallagher's on sick leave
20:35Are there any other human beings in the building?
20:41No
20:41I'm looking for D.S. Gallagher
21:11Hello, Mr. Carter
21:15Charlie, where's Mr. Regan?
21:18Having dinner
21:19Take a seat
21:20Am I on the front page?
21:22You're on page three and there's not even a picture
21:25I've got my hat on, specially
21:27They came along and took hundreds
21:28Well, maybe they're saving you up for the Sundays
21:31Tell us the secret, Charlie
21:35Did you shoot him?
21:37If you don't mind, sir
21:38I'll save me breath until Mr. Regan arrives
21:41You're late
22:01Has the copper gone?
22:02Yeah, he's gone
22:03I thought he'd never go
22:04Yeah, well, he's bound to be back
22:05So we'll have to work fast
22:06Hey, how will I know which is Archimedes?
22:11By the spikes on his collar
22:12And how will I calm him down, stop him from barking?
22:18Give him this sweater
22:19It's one of his masters
22:21He loves it
22:22That'll do the trick
22:23It should do
22:24Take these
22:26Yeah, what are they?
22:29Tranquilisers
22:29For me?
22:30No, for the dog
22:31These are for you
22:34What are they?
22:38Reds
22:39You've got a long drive ahead of you
22:42It was the night I got out
22:44I came home
22:45Was that your opening pot?
22:47It was the night I got out
22:48Was that what I said?
22:50Yeah, come on, Charlie
22:51You can do better than that
22:52Where were you the night you came out?
22:54I was on the town, wasn't I?
22:56Celebrating
22:56And I came home
22:58And there she was in bed
22:59Lying there with nothing on but a mink coat
23:02God, I said
23:03Where did you get that?
23:05All right, Charlie
23:06Skip that bit
23:07Tell us what happened on the night of the killing
23:09I'm leading up to it
23:10Yeah, like a 19th century novelist
23:13300 boring pages
23:14When did you shoot him?
23:16On the 13th
23:17But this was only the 10th
23:18Well, skip the next two days
23:20I've no intentions of skipping the next two days
23:23I heard he was living up here in Norfolk
23:26And without thinking about it
23:27I was driving up here in the old Zephyr
23:29With a shooter in the boot
23:31How he got there, I'll never know
23:33You put it there, Charlie
23:35I suppose I must have, Doug
23:36Regan
23:38It just came to me that I had to kill him
23:41It was crime passion, hell, you might say
23:43I was calm
23:45But there was this horrible force squirming up inside me
23:48There was a four-letter word frothing from me lips
23:51What do you mean, the dog has gone?
23:53Kill, that was the word
23:54Who?
23:55Kill, kill
23:56Oh, turn it off, Charles
23:58Just for one moment
23:59I'm giving it to you straight
24:00I had to kill him
24:01Kill
24:02Are you telling me it clipped its way through a barbed wire fence?
24:07Well, it's a bleeding dog, Thorpe
24:09Next you'd be saying it was all blacked up with a berry on its head
24:12Kill
24:13Yeah, I want you to find it at once
24:16Where was I?
24:19You said kill, kill, kill, kill
24:22Now listen, pull in the owner of that home
24:23He's what?
24:27A major in the what?
24:30Well, you outrank him, son
24:31Don't take any lip from the army
24:33I'll be down there tomorrow
24:35Yeah, now listen, get on to Superintendent Pringle
24:37This is his pigeon
24:38Now don't wait till the morning
24:41Wake him up
24:43Oh, I can't hear myself think
24:46This is an important moment
24:48Sorry, Charles
24:49The dog's got out
24:51Well, what do you know?
24:53But the best bits have yet to come
24:54Yes, well, I'm sorry, Charlie
24:58I'll read it in the Sundays
25:00I'm afraid I've got to go back to London
25:02But I'm doing you a favour, Mr. Egan
25:04I'm saving you thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money
25:07Yeah, well, you'd have made it a lot easier, Charlie
25:09If you'd have surrendered to the first priest, fireman
25:12Or police constable you came across
25:13Or better still
25:15You could have got a train down to London
25:17We'd have reimbursed the fare
25:20And you could have worked out the whole story
25:22Between you, your brief
25:24And the papers right there in my office
25:26Take over, will you, George
25:28And keep the paragraph short
25:31It was the night I got out
25:34It was lashing down with rain
25:36It's been made to look like an accident
26:02A dozen escaped
26:04But it was an outside job
26:05A lot to the compound's been forced
26:07And where's the owner?
26:09Rounding the rest of them up
26:11Evidently, they went for some sheep
26:13Oh
26:13Well, um, Eddie
26:16Eddie, would you go back to the Transport Cafe
26:19And get us some, I don't know
26:21Egg sandwiches, silver thermos
26:23You take sugar?
26:24Yes, go
26:24Sugar is well, Eddie
26:25This is the local law
26:35Not very cooperative
26:37Morning, sir
26:40Are you the owner of this establishment?
26:42No
26:43I'm Detective Superintendent Pringle Scotland Yard
26:45Yes
26:46I'm the sergeant from Unstanton
26:48Oh, good
26:49Well, look, I want you to get onto your headquarters
26:50Ask them to send a photographer up here as soon as possible
26:53Oh, and I want whatever strength you've got on your CID
26:55There hasn't been a murder, has there?
26:57There will be
26:59If you don't get a move on
27:01Hello, George
27:06Check out these contacts
27:08Well done, Gov
27:08How's it going?
27:10He hasn't said a word, Gov
27:12No, he keeps going over the same old story
27:15But then when he gets to the important bit
27:16He just blanks up
27:17I feel like giving him a kick in
27:21Be patient
27:23He needs to be loved
27:24Regan
27:26Good morning, Superintendent
27:29The dog's gone
27:30Yeah, so my DC tell me
27:32So what was the idea in staking the place out?
27:34I wanted an eye kept on it
27:35To what purpose?
27:36You failed to prevent the dog from going
27:38If we ever get Bishop before the jury
27:40A little lark like this could jeopardise the whole case
27:42My intention was simple
27:43To follow the dog
27:45Because its destination is where Bishop's going to be
27:48So
27:48That's why you had Moose rearrested
27:51Yeah
27:52Did you put a tail on him?
27:53Yes
27:54We lost him
27:57For the last time
27:58Back off, will you, Regan?
28:00This is my case, remember?
28:04You were saying, George?
28:05Cheers
28:06The owner's back, sir
28:14Yeah
28:14Did my driver say anything about the tracks?
28:17Yeah, one four fours
28:18High speed and for a heavy car
28:19God
28:20They could be 200 miles away by now
28:23Oh, we could put out an all-ports call, sir
28:25For a dog
28:27They'd never wear it
28:31Everything costs money these days
28:33Get him to go over this area again, eh?
28:39Yes, Garth
28:39Good
28:41I had an electronic surveillance device on test
28:45It's disappeared
28:46Matthew said you took it
28:47Yeah, that's right, Garth
28:48I locked it on the bottom of Moose's Range Rover
28:50Hmm
28:51All right
28:51Where's the Range Rover now?
28:54Well, that's the point
28:54It's disappeared
28:56Right here
28:57With my ESD
28:58That's right, Garth
28:59You've lost my ESD
29:00Have you any idea how much those things cost?
29:02Wait a minute
29:03I haven't lost it, Governor
29:04It lost itself
29:05After all, it's supposed to be unlosable
29:07I mean, that's the whole point of the machine, isn't it?
29:09Gives off these little bleeps
29:11So you can tell where it's going
29:12They cost a fortune
29:13Look, we were asked to evaluate it
29:15Well, I've just evaluated it
29:17In fact, I can give you my considered verdict
29:19It's useless
29:20We've lost the moose
29:21And the dog
29:22And the machine
29:23It was working perfectly well on the tea trolley
29:25Well, that's life
29:26Back to the drawing board, isn't it?
29:32See the thing here, Stanley
29:45What you've got to realise
29:46This is temporary, see?
29:48I'm here only for a short time
29:49Oh, but, Jared
29:51I've told you
29:52It's already too long
29:53The bank are getting nervous
30:17They see this holiday as a sign of weakness
30:23An admission of guilt, you might say
30:26Stanley, I just got here
30:28Look, Jerry
30:30You are about to go public
30:31The shares in your company are ready for issue
30:34Now, merchant banks and brokers of repute
30:38Are ready to launch you into a new future
30:40And you'll need it
30:43Agreed, Stanley
30:45But the moment I decide to go straight
30:47I'm persecuted by malicious elements
30:49Who see me as some threat to their own futures
30:51Exactly
30:52So you must come back and fight
30:54Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
31:24If I come back, certain irresponsible men will want to put me in jail.
31:37Such as who?
31:39Inspector Regan, for one.
31:42There's nothing he can hit you with.
31:43Don't underestimate Regan. He can manufacture a case. He's done it before.
31:47No, no, Regan's not in the running.
31:49It's Pringle from now on, and he's a nobody.
31:50That, too, is a mistake.
31:52Now, Regan is so bent he cannot be straight.
31:55But Pringle, Pringle is a nobody who wants to be a somebody.
31:58Now, he's a headhunter.
32:00Now, I don't want my bonce in his trophy room.
32:02Now, what you've got to realise, Stan, is that these guys are paid to destroy people like you and me.
32:08They're in the demolition business. Don't underestimate them.
32:11What comes up must go down.
32:15That's their motto.
32:16But, Jerry, I beg you, you're fighting shadows.
32:24I'll stay here till everyone's been sweetened.
32:27I have my girl, my flowers, and soon, I hope, my dog.
32:30What more can a man need this side of a million dollars?
32:34Cables for you, Jerry.
32:35Hello.
32:36You fly home, Stanley. Take care of things.
32:40All right, Jerry. I don't say I have to warn you.
32:42All right, thanks.
32:44Bye-bye.
32:45Bye-bye.
33:05Cable.
33:06Cable.
33:06Cable.
33:08Cable.
33:10Cable.
33:10Cable.
33:10Cable.
33:11Cable.
33:11Cable.
33:12WHISTLE BLOWS
33:20Paragraph.
33:21Furthermore, I know nothing about the escape of Bishop's Dog
33:24from the Salt House Dog Home
33:26other than what I have read in Detective Constable Thorpe's report.
33:29Paragraph.
33:31It was unfortunate that D.C. Thorpe was not relieved for three days.
33:35This was due to an oversight.
33:37Paragraph.
33:40On the other hand, Superintendent Pringle had at no time indicated any intention
33:45of placing the dog's home under observation,
33:48so I do not understand his complaint.
33:51Under his charge, the dog would have escaped more easily.
33:54And probably sooner, in fact.
33:56Just like his master did.
34:00Mark, one copy for the Commander and one for Mr Pringle.
34:03Is that all?
34:04Yeah.
34:06Tell me.
34:08I don't suppose you go out with married men?
34:11Only for money.
34:12How many copies for the files?
34:142,750.
34:161,750.
34:171,250.
34:1823,750.
34:191,750.
34:283,500.
34:304,815.
34:31Up and reach punch.
34:3224,524.
34:335,2525.
34:34There's only 7K لكن nerty.
34:355,2525.
34:3612,。
34:375,29.
34:388,80.
34:39Wait for me!
34:45Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
34:51Are you sure, Gerry?
34:53I know him. It's him.
34:57Where's the tin opener?
34:59You're not going to give him tinned meat.
35:02I don't trust the steak out here.
35:04Well, we eat it.
35:06And only Evian for the first week.
35:08You can't trust the water, either.
35:11Come on, boy.
35:15Come on, boy.
35:18Can you hear him?
35:20Come here, come here.
35:21Listen to him.
35:22Come here.
35:29Hello, Obis.
35:38A toast.
35:40Hello, boss.
35:42A toast to weary travellers.
35:45Welcome to France.
35:47Here, have a champagne.
35:49A toast.
35:58That's not...
35:59My...
36:00Dog!
36:01Dog!
36:02A toast.
36:03A toast.
36:04A toast.
36:05A toast.
36:06A toast.
36:12A toast.
36:16A toast.
36:17A toast.
36:19A toast.
36:20BIRDS CHIRP
36:27Order. It's all right. I'll take it.
36:30Cheers.
36:32Hello, miss.
36:34Been to a football match.
36:36What's going on?
36:38Have a nice flight.
36:40Terrible.
36:42Are you all nicking me again?
36:44Don't know.
36:45Where have you been?
36:47France.
36:49Delivering a dog?
36:50Oh, bloody one, wasn't it?
36:52Oh, dear.
36:57There you go.
37:01What about my luggage?
37:02You haven't got any.
37:07Hello, Moose.
37:09Hello, Mr. Egan.
37:11I gave him my trust.
37:18I treated him like a brother.
37:21It was not a mistake.
37:24How could it be a mistake?
37:26He arrived here with that dog wearing his collar.
37:30I'm not upset, Henry.
37:31I merely strangle the hound with my bare hands.
37:35Eh?
37:37No, it's not a felony here.
37:38No, no.
37:39No, they eat them here, Henry.
37:41Yeah, they eat them here, yes.
37:43Now, look.
37:44I want you to find out what happened to Archimedes.
37:47Now, I do not recall what happened to Moose.
37:51Yeah, he got away.
37:52Yeah, he got away, yes.
37:53Yes, yes.
37:54He caught the plane.
37:55Now, look.
37:56This is very important, Henry.
37:57What?
37:58Hello?
37:59Hello?
38:00Hello?
38:01Hello?
38:02Hello?
38:03Hello?
38:04I would have thought someone with your expertise
38:06put all teeth to me.
38:09Well, how do you recognise him in the first place?
38:13By the spikes on his collar.
38:16You mean someone changed the collar?
38:18Not someone.
38:20You did.
38:21Not me.
38:23It was Mr. Pringle.
38:27I told you not to trust him.
38:29Thought I wouldn't put a stunt like that.
38:31Whoever did, it was evil.
38:36Mr. Bishop nearly killed me.
38:39Not to worry.
38:40He had you insured.
38:43Who did?
38:44Mr. Pringle.
38:46You butty meal.
38:47Don't be daft.
38:49How did Bishop take it?
38:50Bud, he attacked me.
38:52And the dog went for him.
38:54And he went berserk.
38:56He got hold of the dog in some sort of judo hold.
38:59And the two went rolling around the floor,
39:01biting each other.
39:03That would be terrible.
39:05Hello?
39:06Operator?
39:07I want London.
39:10Catra-er?
39:12Allo, pronto.
39:13This is very, very urgent.
39:14Come here.
39:15Sit down.
39:16Sit down.
39:18Hold on to this phone.
39:20To admit you get a reply, get a hold of Sir Basil, right?
39:23Call him at the golf club if necessary.
39:24Ask him to ring me back here at six o'clock.
39:26I'm going to the town to send some cables.
39:32Hello?
39:34Hello?
39:35All right, where is he?
39:36Who, sir?
39:37Mr. Regan?
39:38Oh, Special Enquiry, sir.
39:39And the moose?
39:40Well, I don't know, sir.
39:41Inspector Regan picked him up at the airport, didn't he, at 10 a.m. this morning.
39:45Did he, sir?
39:46Excuse me.
39:47Excuse me.
39:48And where's the dog?
39:49What dog?
39:50Bishop's dog.
39:51I thought he was in France.
39:52Bishop's in France.
39:53Bishop's in France, but his dog isn't.
39:54Well, what do you mean, sir?
39:55I mean that somebody switched the dogs.
39:56Now, listen.
39:57I want the moose, Inspector Regan, and the right dog in that order, understand?
39:58Well, I'll leave a message at your call, sir.
39:59It's about the best I can do.
40:00Now, come in, Ease.
40:01Right.
40:02Here, Mike.
40:03What?
40:04What?
40:05What?
40:06What?
40:07What dog?
40:08What dog?
40:09What dog?
40:10Bishop's dog.
40:11I thought he was in France.
40:12Bishop's in France, but his dog isn't.
40:13What do you mean, sir?
40:14I mean that somebody switched the dogs.
40:15Now, listen.
40:16I want the moose, Inspector Regan, and the right dog in that order, I understand?
40:17Well, I'll leave a message at your call, sir.
40:18It's about the best I can do.
40:20Now, come in, Ease.
40:22Hi.
40:23Here, Mike.
40:24Come on.
40:25Come on.
40:26Come on.
40:27Come on.
40:28Come on.
40:29Basil.
40:30Basil, I have a problem.
40:35My dog.
40:40Has Stanley been?
40:42Yes.
40:43Well, look, the situation is like this.
40:45Yeah, well, look, never mind the switch for the moment.
40:48That can wait till later on.
40:50Look, Basil, what I want for...
40:53What I want from you, Basil, is a complete rundown on the law concerning the Metropolitan Police and my dog.
40:59How can the police hold my dog?
41:01What are their powers of arrest concerning animals?
41:04What has my dog done to the...
41:06Of course they've got him.
41:08Who else has?
41:09Of course they'll deny it.
41:11They always deny it, don't they?
41:13Ah.
41:14Come on, Moose.
41:15Just for me.
41:16I tried so hard.
41:17I know, Moose.
41:18It would have been worse but for that dog.
41:19He really loved you, that dog, didn't he?
41:20Yes.
41:21He saved my life.
41:22Mr Bishop strangled him with his bare hands, eh?
41:25Here.
41:26There, but for the grace of God, I thought, went the moose.
41:28There, but for the grace of God, I thought, went the moose.
41:35It's all Mr Pringle's fault, isn't it?
41:36That's right, Moose.
41:37Mr Pringle put you in it, and Mr Bishop has now gone mad.
41:38It's all Mr Pringle's fault, isn't it?
41:39That's right, Moose.
41:40Mr Pringle put you in it, and Mr Bishop has now gone mad.
41:41You're likely to end up in a waste disposal, like his girlfriend, Kathy, if you're not careful.
41:44So, what did you do?
41:45It's all Mr Pringle's fault, isn't it?
41:48There, but for the grace of God, I thought, went the moose.
41:54It's all Mr Pringle's fault, isn't it?
41:59That's right, Moose.
42:00Mr Pringle put you in it, and Mr Bishop has now gone mad.
42:03You'll likely to end up in a waste disposal, like his girlfriend, Cathy, if you're not careful.
42:09Sir, what can you do?
42:12Mr Pringle wants you to turn Queen's evidence, but that's dangerous, isn't it?
42:16You'll have an armed escort each time you go to the Old Bailey,
42:19but a good chance of being shot every time a guard bends down to tie his shoelace.
42:23Whereas all I want from you is everything you know about Bishop on the tape recorder.
42:29No trials, no porridge, no statements, nothing.
42:33Of course they've got the dog.
42:36I don't care if there's no evidence you're in public relations.
42:39That's what I pay you for. Get out a story.
42:41Let the press build it up.
42:43Get on to the RSPCA.
42:45Tell them the police are making war on animals.
42:48That's right, they're turning on dogs.
42:50I'll have the whole nation behind me.
42:52I'll take it to The Hague.
42:54There must be something in the UN Charter about it.
42:57Well, look it up!
42:59It crumbles.
43:01The whole structure just... just crumbles.
43:04A whole lot of structure just crumbles, that's all.
43:17Sorry I'm late, sir.
43:19Last time it was your turn, Inspector. This time it's the superintendents.
43:32Bishop has briefed Sir Basil Davids to take an action in the High Court for the recovery of his dog. Where is it?
43:38Jack?
43:42Well, obviously the dog was lost the night the others got away.
43:46Are you saying you haven't got it?
43:48Of course I haven't.
43:51As a matter of fact, Superintendent, if we're being honest, I thought you had it.
43:55Yeah, in fact I thought what a devastating detective the superintendent is becoming in his old age.
44:01He's obtained possession of the dog and he's holding on to it as an inducement for Bishop to return to this country.
44:06Even presuming I had gained possession of the dog, what legal right would I have for withholding him from Bishop?
44:14There's no law which prevents a dog from leaving this country, but there is a law which says that no dogs can be imported into this country without first undergoing the usual period of quarantine.
44:23Archimedes is such a dog. Bishop illegally imported him two years ago.
44:28So what you're suggesting is that his illegal entry is sufficient to have him held at the Metropolitan Dog Compound?
44:36Until his owner claims him.
44:38But Davids can apply for possession.
44:40We could oppose it.
44:41You're on thin ice again.
44:43How long do you think we'd have to argue the case before Bishop gets on a plane and comes home?
44:47This is the one thing he can't handle from France.
44:50All this, of course, supposes that the dog can be found.
44:55I think we can safely leave that to Inspector Regan. After all, he seems to have worked out everything else.
45:00How's the moose, by the way?
45:03I released him after he gave me a statement.
45:05It's one of the great historic documents of our time.
45:08Yes, okay, I'll accept that. I'll go along with that.
45:11You just find the dog, Inspector, and we'll proceed from there.
45:14Hmm. That's nice. How many men will you need, Regan?
45:18To find the dog?
45:19Oh, Sergeant Carter and me should suffice.
45:22Over 50 square miles of forest.
45:25We were both in the Boy Scouts at one time.
45:28They've picked it up.
45:30It's in the police pound.
45:33Well, it's only a rumour, Jerry. We've had no official confirmation.
45:37There's no possible identification unless somebody comes forward with the proof.
45:41Well, the proof of its American pedigree, Jerry. That's what they're looking for.
45:45Well, they say it's an American dog and they want to see the import license and the date of entry, etc.
45:56Well, okay, it's not called an import license.
45:58Well, I am not your lawyer, Jerry. I'm your accountant. To me, a dog is a dog.
46:03Yes, well, I'm on the line, Jerry, to tell you that the script issue is not going forward.
46:10Well, the handlers don't think that this is a propitious moment.
46:16Yeah, don't think it, but... Come on.
46:27Morning, Doris. Morning, Gov.
46:29Morning, Sergeant Carter.
46:30Your ESD. Turned up all by itself.
46:32Oh, really? Cool.
46:34Yes, I think you're right.
46:37Gov.
46:38That saved you £500 off your wages.
46:45I didn't lose it. You did.
46:47All electronic surveillance equipment in the department is your responsibility, Sergeant.
46:51Yeah. Whatever it is, good as new.
46:53Hello? B?
46:55Get me Irene. I don't know a second, though.
46:58Where'd you find it?
47:00Under the Range Rover. At the house of one Stanley Hedge. Chartered accountant.
47:03Checking with records?
47:05Did better than that. Got a wiretap. Cheeky.
47:08The dog has not got an import licence. First of all, there's no such thing as an import licence.
47:13Second, I've brought the dog in on a fishing boat.
47:16Oh, OK, Jerry, it's not called an import licence. I'm not your lawyer, Jerry. I'm your accountant.
47:20To me, a dog is a...
47:21Hello. Look, tell Irene, the one with the big chest and the ringlets.
47:26Yeah, tell her that Jack Regan can't take her to the pictures tonight,
47:29but he'll send a car round with a ticket so that she can, er, take a friend.
47:33How much more of that?
47:35Er, about an hour before I was warned off. Irene, eh?
47:38What state is Bishop in?
47:40He's going potty.
47:41Yeah, I sold the commander. If I don't make that wiretap official, you'd better come with me.
47:45Er, what shall I do about that? Give it back to Askins?
47:47No, I put it back under the tea trolley. There, it was performing a really useful function.
47:52It's all a servant whose glance, whose love, who's sick, no summon, who crave, no promise, a sign for the love of a lady.
48:00Baby, baby, misery, me.
48:04Get dressed. We're going to the airport.
48:09The plane doesn't leave till five.
48:11We're going now.
48:12You don't think they've got that dog in that pound for nothing, do you?
48:15He'll get rabies. Fleas.
48:18They're a disease his dogs get just by smelling each other.
48:21They'll be waiting for you. You know that.
48:24He'll be lonely. Confused.
48:27It's been six weeks now.
48:30He'll be out of his mind.
48:32You're out of yours.
48:38What did you say?
48:40Oh, I'm sorry, Gerry.
48:42I didn't mean to argue with you.
48:44Oh.
48:45Get your bags back.
48:54Don't worry, old boy.
48:55We'll get you out of this.
48:57I'm not without influence, you know.

49:34Don't you think?
49:43Yes, sir?
49:44Will you have my car sent round to the side door, please?
49:49Oh, I don't know, Inspector.
49:50I'm more cautious than you.
49:51I'd call it 15 love.
