00:00You do, of course, appreciate that we are talking about a high-risk investment, Mr. Deller.
00:13Yeah, but you've seen my track record, Mr. Lambert.
00:16And even if we muff it, all you lose is your share of the front money.
00:20It's a good shot.
00:23Yes, the front money.
00:25My clients are a little reluctant to commit themselves to that extent at this stage.
00:31Hey, hang on. You said...
00:33There will be no payment until you provide a clearer indication of how you propose to ship the...
00:41merchandise out of this country to Beirut.
00:46I told you it's all in hand.
00:48My dear Deller, I'm sure your word is your bond.
00:51My clients, I'm afraid, are a trifle fastidious about these matters.
00:59Yes.
01:07You seem to have attracted someone's attention, Deller.
01:18Yeah, well, uh...
01:22Excuse me.
01:30Max, dear boy.
01:32Please, it's only that I, uh...
01:34I came up with the information that you were requiring rather sooner than I anticipated.
01:39As you said that it was important, I called right to your house immediately.
01:42You did, Walt.
01:43Oh, gee, it was very kind.
01:45I'm not a matter of one of these to us, I swear.
01:47Hmm, there was the matter of my fee.
01:49You'll get your money when I get my information, but...
01:51Oh, oh, it's all here, Maxwell.
01:53You were so right, Max, it's so right.
01:56Bernard Phillips changed its name more than five years ago.
02:00Changed a lot of other things, too.
02:02Well done, Professor.
02:05Well done.
02:06Matt, you're so generous.
02:17Matt, you're so generous.
02:22We're on.
02:25Cheers.
02:25Cheers.
03:17It's a nice bit of gear.
03:30Where'd you nick that?
03:31Fell off a lorry.
03:32Would you believe?
03:33I believe.
03:39Oh!
03:41All right.
03:42Okay?
03:43Tomorrow night.
03:44Okay?
03:45Look, I'll let you know when I'm the same deaf fellow, right?
03:47Fine.
03:48Hello, Guth.
03:49Oh, hello, George.
03:51What's check-ups you're in?
03:54He's leading the assault on Scotland Yard's notorious inefficiency.
03:57Oh, yeah?
03:58Yeah, the Organisation of Methods boys are in.
04:01Our team's been selected to show them how we keep the paper flowing.
04:04Oh, I like that.
04:05Nice touch.
04:07So they pick on a one guy who's never filled a form improperly in his life.
04:10Right.
04:11The Governor reckons asking to put him up to it.
04:13Yeah, well, he seems to be enjoying himself.
04:15I'll grab him later in the pub.
04:18Is there anything I can do?
04:19No, it wasn't important, really.
04:21I've just got to whisper something to foot.
04:24It might be a blagging.
04:25It's nothing definite.
04:25I just wondered if Jack had heard anything.
04:29Well, he hadn't said anything.
04:30Uh, is that all you've got?
04:32Yeah.
04:33Someone's recruit, you know.
04:35Seems whatever it is might be in the city.
04:38Well, I'll ask him for you.
04:39Yeah, do that, George.
04:41See ya.
04:42So.
04:42You see, the ideal situation would be one stand at four.
04:47Yeah, right.
04:49Now, if I...
04:50Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
04:52Oh, dear.
04:55Tell you what, I've got an idea.
04:57Why don't we have a break, Mr. Bradshaw?
05:00I'll tell you what, we'll take you over to the pub for a spot of lunch, right?
05:03That's very kind of you, Inspector, but really, uh, I don't normally drink in the lunch hour.
05:08It upsets me for the afternoon, you know.
05:09Well, we've all got that problem.
05:11Come on.
05:12Nice one, George.
05:21This can't get the neck.
05:22It's all concentration, you see, James.
05:26Oops.
05:28Uh, yes.
05:29You don't have to believe everything I tell.
05:31Cheers, Scuff.
05:32Cheers, Guff.
05:33Look at that.
05:33Didn't even move.
05:34How's your little friend?
05:36Having the time of his life.
05:38Hey, listen, you can get the next one in.
05:40I've gotten to in already.
05:41Yeah, but when he came in, he was drinking lemonade.
05:43Now he's on doubles.
05:45It's Rebels.
05:46He said he didn't drink.
05:48He won't be much good to us like that.
05:50Oh, yes, he will.
05:51The sky should fall in any minute, then we can send him off home.
05:54If he's due to be with Mr. Crossfall's lot tomorrow, then we'll be shot at him for good.
06:00What's up?
06:01So the little bloke says.
06:18So the little bloke says, oh, he says, how low can you get?
06:35The bloke says, a little Jack Russell, right there.
06:39A little Jack Russell, like that.
06:45Thank you, my dear child.
06:48Ladies, to our little good fortune.
07:03There you go, darling.
07:05Three pints of bitter, large whiskey and a large vodka.
07:10With lemonade.
07:12Your meat all right?
07:13Oh, yes, love you. It's just a bit quiet.
07:15You've got a lovely sense of humour, really.
07:20Get a load of that pantomime over there. What do you make of it?
07:24Harry Fuller.
07:25Harry Fuller?
07:26Yeah, he's a right Jug artist.
07:28Another double brand deal I deserve, my son.
07:31He was a bent breeze clerk before he got nipped.
07:33Yeah, in between spells at the Ville drying out, he's a con merchant.
07:37He does a bit of grass in when he's really down.
07:38All right, I keep the change.
07:42He's lucky he can afford it.
07:44He can't.
07:45Only last week he was trading bum information to the drug squad he was so broke.
07:50So what's he been up to, then?
07:51Mr. Conway, now you've taken over the firm, do you intend to change the policy of sponsorship which Mr. Drummond pursued?
08:14Well, I haven't exactly taken over. Mr. Drummond is still chairman.
08:17But you are now managing director.
08:19Yes.
08:20And I'd like to say that I wholeheartedly support amateur sport in this country.
08:25And to answer your question, Drummond Sport will be helping out with the expenses and providing the weights and other equipment for the Middle East too.
08:33I shall now invite you to turn to Mr. Drummond.
08:41This is rather a case in reverse of Cinderella.
08:47Sorry.
08:49Oh, God.
08:50Well, well, well.
08:52Bernie.
08:53Come on, gentlemen, please.
08:56Right.
08:57What are you trying about, George?
08:58He must have over 200 quid on him.
09:00I've got a ticket for the International tonight.
09:09That all soaks up to no good.
09:11And I want to know why.
09:28It's a long way from A-Wing at Feesdown.
09:31What the hell are you doing here, Max?
09:33You hadn't covered your tracks as well as you thought.
09:37I reckon we might have a chat now that you're all rich and famous.
09:41What do you want?
09:42A hand up.
09:43Not exactly.
09:44Just thought us sportsful boys got to stick together.
09:47Oh, come on, Max.
09:49Are you kidding?
09:50That was years ago.
09:52Who cares?
09:53Drummond's might.
09:54But that's not the point, is it, Mr. Phillips?
10:00I just thought you might like to do me a favour.
10:03A favour?
10:04For old times' sake.
10:05Just a favour, Bernie.
10:08Hey, remember that time you smashed that screw over the back of the Swede with a shovel?
10:12Well, it fractured his skull, I think.
10:16I was a great help to you, if I recall.
10:19Got you off it.
10:19You could have done real porridge for that, Bernie.
10:26Come on, let's get outside.
10:33Go out the door, please.
10:34Do you think Jimmy's going to manage him on his own?
10:37Yeah.
10:38Yeah.
10:40Information flow.
10:41What?
10:50Fuller's only drunk.
10:51He's like that every day of the week.
10:53We're on to something here.
10:55Do you want to bet?
10:57Yeah.
10:57Fibre.
10:58Put your money where your mouth is.
11:00Hang about.
11:01I have no idea.
11:04Gaff. You're not going to put him in here, are you?
11:06Come on.
11:08I just want a little help with a project I've got on it.
11:12It'll only take a day or so.
11:14Yes. Well, I will have to think about it.
11:15Time I have not got, squire.
11:18Darling?
11:19Oh, hello.
11:20And who are you?
11:22I'm Mr. Dirlington.
11:24Take care.
11:26Can you speak to the director?
11:29I know.
11:30Max. Max Deller. I'm in transport, shipping and all that.
11:34Hello. I'm Joanna Drummond.
11:36Yes, of course. I've seen you in the papers. Congratulations.
11:41Well, Bernie, I'll be in touch. Nice to meet you, Mr. Drummond.
11:44Goodbye.
11:46Come on, darling. Are you all right?
11:49Hmm? Yes, yes, of course.
11:51We said we'd beat Stevens by seven.
11:56I don't know what you were drinking, but it won't come out.
12:00Your stomach must be long with double-gloss emulsion.
12:05Come on, Harry. You'll do.
12:12One hundred and sixty-five quid.
12:15Fifty-five and a half p.
12:20I don't know why you do it, Harry.
12:22It's not as if you enjoy it.
12:26How do you feel it now, Harry?
12:28Bad, Mr. Drummond. Bad.
12:30Well, I should take it easier.
12:32Not good for you, you know, this high life.
12:35You've been feeling dodgy, then, Harry?
12:37Hmm, nothing serious.
12:39Nothing serious, Mr. R.
12:41Minor respiratory inflammation.
12:45Would you, um...
12:46Would you have a cigarette, by any chance?
12:49You're killing yourself, Harry.
12:51The short-life sergeant was in gay water.
12:54Yeah, that's right.
12:57Cheers.
13:08Tell me something, Harry.
13:09Where'd you get all this bread?
13:11I, uh...
13:14I, uh...
13:16I, uh...
13:17I had a win, uh...
13:18White City.
13:19What was the dog?
13:20I can't remember at the moment.
13:22I, uh...
13:24Just a minute, I...
13:25Harry.
13:26You're not gonna muck us about, are you?
13:28Oh, you stupid idiot.
13:29Come on, Harry.
13:30You've sold someone hot information.
13:32Something bent, I guess,
13:33Cos no cop's gonna pay you this kind of money for information.
13:36You've been up to no good, haven't you, Harry?
13:38You couldn't have all that going straight.
13:40So what's it about, eh, Harry?
13:42Um...
13:43Come on, Harry.
13:45Who's doing what?
13:46Something's in the wind.
13:48It's simple logic, Harry.
13:50One.
13:51It must be something bent for you to get this money at all.
13:54Two.
13:55It must be something really naughty for a villain to pay you that kind of money.
13:59Well, um...
14:01Well...
14:03Yes, Harry?
14:07I can assure you, Mr. Regan,
14:11I...
14:12I can explain everything.
14:14A little casual worker.
14:17A firm solicitor...
14:19Names!
14:20But what if I should find out?
14:27Now, look, Harry.
14:29If I was in a bad mood, I could nick you for being drunk and incapable.
14:34Or unlawful possession of money.
14:36Being a public nuisance.
14:37Insulting behaviour.
14:38Disturbing the peace.
14:39Ruining my jacket.
14:40Ruining his jacket.
14:42But I'm not.
14:43Nope.
14:44I'm in a good mood, Harry.
14:46So I'll tell you what.
14:48I'm gonna let you go.
14:50Oh, thank you, Mr.
14:51Thank you, sir.
14:52There's just one more thing, Harry.
14:55Forget about your own problems.
14:57Put the nation first.
14:59Have a bath.
15:04I'll book him in for empty.
15:05You read the cash.
15:06I'll follow him, George.
15:07Do what?
15:08You heard me tell him.
15:09What for?
15:10Look, Governor, I've got at least four reports to write up.
15:11There are several other things that need to...
15:12And tickets for the International tonight.
15:13Did you?
15:14It's not only that.
15:15Look, that drunken bum is rubbish and you know it.
15:17He's probably telling the truth anyway.
15:18Do leave off.
15:19George, what solicitor's gonna give him a job?
15:20He'd take one look at the files and he'd be blackmailing the clients.
15:22Oh, something's afoot there.
15:23I could smell it.
15:24Okay.
15:25So Terry Potter had the breeze at their house, and what's up there?
15:26Is there anything you have to do with the business?
15:27And the news is what you have to do with him?
15:28Why are you feeling it?
15:29What's up there?
15:30Well, you're not getting you.
15:31But you're not getting you.
15:32You're getting you.
15:33What's up there?
15:34Well, I'm getting you.
15:35I'm getting you.
15:36I'm getting you.
15:37I'm getting you.
15:38I'm getting you.
15:39I'm getting you.
15:40I'm getting you.
15:41I'm getting you.
15:47There might be a flag, but there's nothing definite, is there?
15:49Potter.
15:51What, didn't he get in touch with you?
15:52No.
15:54Well, there's word about that there might be something in the city.
15:57He wondered if you had anything for him.
16:01George, get after Fuller.
16:03Governor, Harry Fuller can just about get into a public bar.
16:06Now, even you must agree a city bank is a little beyond him.
16:09George, get after him before he disappears and you and I fall out.
16:13I'll send Jimmy out to relieve you by six, okay?
16:17Yeah, okay.
16:19But you're wasting your time.
16:21And money, if I'm wrong.
16:22Don't forget I've got a fibre on it.
16:37Nice.
16:39Nice one, Pat.
16:47Oh, sorry, love.
16:55Oh, what the hell are you doing here?
17:15But, Max, it was urgent, very urgent trouble.
17:19The Sweeney.
17:20The Sweeney?
17:21Yes.
17:21And?
17:22They picked me up in a pond.
17:24Bombed out your bloody mind, I suppose.
17:31You didn't tell him anything, did you?
17:33Because if you did, I'll...
17:34No, no.
17:37Look.
17:39He's one of them.
17:41Come on.
17:41The Sweeney.
17:41Come on.
17:43The Sweeney.
17:50Sit.
17:52Come on.
18:05We're close! Come on! Come on, guys!
19:05Come on.
19:13Here.
19:15What did you tell them?
19:16Nothing, nothing I swear.
19:18They're using you to get at me.
19:21I swear I'll be a fellow.
19:23You've got the law in tow, so you can put a finger on me, don't you?
19:26I swear...
19:27Here, here, here!
19:33Here. Here.
19:35Harry?
19:39Oh, no.
19:53I know, I know. What I don't understand is how you lost it.
19:56I mean, he's not exactly a foreman in Milo, is he?
19:59No, I know that, Governor.
20:00How was it, George? Good game?
20:02Yeah, thanks. It was terrific.
20:04Good.
20:05I'm sorry about that. This old man got me the ticket.
20:07Second half was rubbish.
20:09Look, Governor, what I mean is there were two blokes, right?
20:12Harry and this top.
20:13Well, I chased him into the station,
20:15and when I came out of the arches,
20:17I was just chasing this other bloke.
20:19Harry had opted.
20:20I wasn't with Todd.
20:22Yeah, okay.
20:24I've got Jimmy Thorpe round checking Fuller's place.
20:27Oh, don't need his action, man.
20:29Oh, no, I thought he'd been sunk with all hands.
20:36Morning, Mr Bradshaw.
20:38Feeling better?
20:39Not really.
20:40Oh, dear, I'm sorry to hear that.
20:43All right.
20:44Oh, Mr Crossfall's obviously down the corridor there.
20:46Second on the right, past the lifts.
20:48But I'm supposed to complete my work with you today, Mr Regan.
20:52My Governor didn't say anything about today.
20:55Well, yesterday, yes.
20:56Yes, but I've just cleared it without too obscured.
20:58He wants flying squad research collated first before I can go...
21:02Yes, but not today, Mr Bradshaw.
21:04I mean, this is our busiest day, Friday.
21:06You know, clearing up before the weekend and all that.
21:08We've had a lot of new cases come in during the night, haven't we, Sergeant?
21:12Oh, not many.
21:14Listen, why don't you do yourself a favour?
21:17Go and get yourself a coffee in the canteen,
21:19then get on to your Governor and let him sort it out, huh?
21:23That's favourite.
21:25Oh, well, the whole business has become very confused.
21:29Yes, well, perhaps.
21:36Has he found out what you've been putting in his lemonade yet?
21:39Yeah, that's going to remain one of the ten great unsolved crimes of the century.
21:42He couldn't even sort himself out, never mind this lot.
21:47Listen, get on to C4.
21:49Have a look at their photos and see if you can recognise the human cannonball.
21:53Only saw the back of his head.
21:54Well, yeah, but look, anyway.
21:56Governor?
21:57Yes, George?
21:58I suppose you have allowed for the fact that the guy might have been mugged for his money last night?
22:03Not by a face wearing a hundred-guinea suit.
22:14Morning, Bernie.
22:15What the hell are you doing here?
22:17Your role in my plans has been extended a bit.
22:20What do you mean?
22:22Who... who is that?
22:26A nervous friend.
22:28Now, listen, Max, you can't do this to me.
22:30No, why not?
22:31Are you going to tell the old Bill?
22:33They might get very curious about you.
22:35What will your shareholders think if they find their managing director's been inside?
22:40What's Joanna going to tell her debutante friend?
22:43You can leave her out of this.
22:44It's up to you, Bernie.
22:45Get rid of it.
22:46Yes, I know, Thor, but I want you to go round there as well.
22:51Do as you're told!
22:54He will argue.
22:56Yeah, well, it's since he had his beard cut off.
22:59Oh, shit.
23:00Yeah.
23:01They've been around all the dossers' kips.
23:03The Spike, the Sally Ann.
23:07Every casualty department, not a whisper.
23:10Yeah, boy.
23:11Yeah, boy.
23:12Yeah, boy.
23:13Yeah, boy.
23:14Yeah, boy.
23:29Go, boy.
23:30Here, boy.
23:36Go, go, go.
23:44Agh!
24:00All right? Yeah.
24:01What do you want?
24:03For you.
24:08Hello? Hello, Bernie. How'd it go?
24:10I'll call the law, tell him I had the car stolen.
24:13Nice thinking, Bernie.
24:15Max.
24:16Yeah?
24:17Max, did you kill him?
24:19No. Heart attack, wasn't it?
24:22Get to the address on that card.
24:32What you gonna do about them TV cameras guarding that place?
24:36What do you think I've been messing around with this lot for?
24:39Here.
24:40Look.
24:42Television cameras, right?
24:44Yeah.
24:45Now, their pictures are sent up these cables to the security office upstairs.
24:49Okay?
24:50Yeah, well...
24:51Well, now, all we've got to do is to plug our videotape recorder in here.
24:55That's the main feed.
24:57Ah.
24:58And we record their pictures, which is about an hour of empty passages and locked doors.
25:03All right?
25:04Now, we disconnect their feed and we send our own pictures upstairs.
25:08And the security guard think they're watching a load of peace and quiet and everything's hunky-dory.
25:12And me, moi?
25:16Now, there were only three witnesses, evidently.
25:19Can't remember anything.
25:20Now, this is the third hijack there in three weeks.
25:23My suggestion is that...
25:24Regan.
25:25Who?
25:26Oh, yeah.
25:27Yeah.
25:28What?
25:29Leave that, George, to a firm fuller.
25:39It's a firm fuller.
25:46It's a blag, isn't it?
25:47That's right.
25:48It's a blag.
25:49And a bloody big one.
25:51I see.
25:52Oh, I'm glad about that, because you'll be helping us get the gear out of the country.
25:56Or at least Drummond's Sports Enterprises will.
25:58What?
25:59Well, I thought you might like to give my little firm a trial.
26:02See how we get your gear to the Middle East.
26:04I just thought you'd like to know where you fitted in.
26:08Come on.
26:09Get on with it.
26:10We haven't got all day.
26:11Come on, George.
26:26Well, it's him, all right.
26:28The doc's not committing himself until after the PM.
26:31There are lacerations on the back of his head, but he doubts if that's what did it.
26:35He says Fuller was a sick man.
26:37Don't need a brass plate to know that.
26:38How did Fuller get out of here?
26:39Well, he must have been dumped from a car.
26:41The retire mark's over here.
26:43Look.
26:46Oh, and the gamekeeper was knocked down by a hit and run.
26:49Just over there.
26:50That's how the local Nick got onto it.
26:52Did the keeper see anything?
26:53I don't know, Gubb.
26:54Well, he's still out cold in the cottage hospital.
26:56Broken leg and severe concussion.
26:58Well, they'll dump the car.
27:01Probably nicked anyway.
27:03You stay here, Jimmy.
27:04We'll want some cast of those tire marks.
27:06Make sure the local boys get them.
27:07Right, Gubb.
27:11I wonder if...
27:12Yeah.
27:13No, we'll wait till after the post-mortem.
27:16I wonder if they learn?
27:17Yeah.
27:18No, we'll wait till after the post-mortem.
27:19Yeah, I don't care.
27:20No.
27:21Yeah.
27:22To the post-mortem.
27:23Oh, never mind.
27:24No, never mind.
27:25I'm not doing now.
27:26I don't care.
27:27No, never mind.
27:28I don't care.
27:29Yes, my goodness.
27:30But if you're looking for what?
27:31No, I'm not looking for a bar.
27:32I'm not going for a bar or not.
27:34I'm not living in.
27:35I'm not living in.
27:37It's all the other way around tonight.
28:04It's all this time and motion business.
28:07All right.
28:37All right.
28:39All right.
28:42All right.
28:44All right.
28:47All right.
28:51All right.
28:54All right.

30:11All right.
30:12All right.
30:13All right.
30:14All right.
30:15We didn't run the rule over that kid, can we?
30:17Yeah.
30:18No fault.
30:20All right.
30:21All right.
30:22All right.
30:22All right.
30:23All right.
30:24All right.
30:25All right.
30:26All right.
30:27All right.
30:28All right.
30:30All right.
30:33Line up tonight.
30:39Okay, one hour.
30:52Miss Drummond, Detective Inspector Regan.
30:55Not again. We've only just got rid of one of your lot.
30:59I understand you have a Mr. Bernard Comway with you.
31:02Is he a policeman, too?
31:04Man and boy, ma'am.
31:06May we come in?
31:08Be my guest.
31:12Darling, Batman and Robin are here.
31:26Bernard Comway, Detective Inspector Regan.
31:29This is Sergeant Carter, Flying Squad.
31:32Flying Squad?
31:34Sit down, Mr. Comway.
31:38We'd like to have a chat about your car.
31:41My car?
31:42The car.
31:43We've had that all bloody evening.
31:48Perhaps you'd prefer to talk to us on your own, eh?
31:50No, no, no.
31:52Oh, you mean Joanna?
31:54No, I'd prefer her to stay.
31:56I've, um...
31:58I've nothing to hide.
31:59No one said you did, Mr. Comway.
32:01No.
32:02No.
32:13It's stuck!
32:14Well, what the hell's the matter?
32:15I don't know.
32:16What the hell's the matter?
32:17I don't know.
32:25What'd that have to do?
32:26Come on!
32:27What'd you do?
32:28Come on!
32:29Go, Steve.
32:32No.
32:33Come on!
32:36All that.
32:37Alright, the door.
32:39Well, if you guys are going to insist on staying for breakfast, you might as well have a drink.
32:44Well, if you guys are going to insist on staying for breakfast, you might as well have a drink.
32:56Thanks. Scotch.
32:58And what about your nice, quiet friend?
33:01Yeah, I'll have the same. Thank you.
33:08Do you own the car, Mr. Conway?
33:10No, not exactly. It's a company car.
33:13What company is that?
33:14Drummond Sport Enterprises.
33:15Don't be so bloody coy, darling.
33:18Look, Inspector, Drummond's my father. He's grown too old and too miserable to run the company.
33:22So he's left Bernie in charge.
33:24Forty minutes.
33:25Oh, one thing puzzles me, Inspector.
33:27Oh, one thing puzzles me, Inspector.
33:29Oh, one thing puzzles me, Inspector.
33:42A flying squad.
33:56Now, I had a long talk earlier this evening with Inspector White, and he mentioned...
34:00Mr. Conway, the body of a man was found in Epping this afternoon.
34:03Now, we have a reason to believe that your car was used to transport it.
34:07A body?
34:09Now, we're not sure about the cause of death. There'll be an inquest, of course.
34:14Another man was injured.
34:15A gamekeeper.
34:17Now, we think he may have been struck by your car leaving the scene in Epping Forest.
34:24I'm sorry I didn't know.
34:26Your people didn't say anything about that.
34:28Well, they didn't know.
34:29I see.
34:31Well, I'll give you all the help I can.
34:48Stop.
34:58There's only five minutes left on the table, now.
35:06All right, let's go.
35:09Well, come on, come on.
35:11That's enough.
35:15What's up?
35:17Well, thanks, Mr. Conway.
35:18That's been very useful.
35:20I'm afraid it'll be some weeks before you get your car back.
35:24Sorry about the intrusion, Miss Drummond.
35:26It's okay, Inspector.
35:27If you hadn't called it, then you've been wasting our lives away.
35:30Yes, well, I think they want to go, John.
35:33So much for you.
35:35And your Irish hospitality.
35:37Well, are you Irish then, Mr. Conway?
35:39Well, er...
35:40Of course he's a make-inspector.
35:42A poor little peasant who came over on a cattle boat to make his fortune.
35:46Whereabouts in Ireland?
35:49Somewhere near, er, Shannon Airport.
35:51Oh, I know, yeah, County Clare.
35:54That's funny, because my old man comes from near there.
35:56Clare Castle.
35:57Did you know any Regans?
36:00I can't say I do.
36:01My folks moved around an awful lot before I came over, and, er...
36:04I see.
36:06Yes, thanks again.
36:07Well, he's got no record here.
36:22He's almost checked for his dad's in Ireland, I suppose.
36:25Dad's?
36:26Yeah, his finger prints are going to be all over the car, aren't they?
36:29Well, that's a thought, George.
36:30I don't think he's ever been to Ireland.
36:32He's lame.
36:33He's not the only one, is he?
36:35You all said your old man came from Liverpool.
36:37My God!
36:53Oh, my God!
37:11Come on, cut. Where have all the flowers gone?
37:13Fifth floor. Big briefing.
37:15The city bullion vault was black during the night.
37:18There's nothing on the radio.
37:19Well, there will be. A million quid's worth of gold's gone missing.
37:22Yeah.
37:23Potter was right, then?
37:25His informant was.
37:27Should we be upstairs?
37:29No. No, Frank Haskins has decided that we can be spared.
37:34Not Bradshaw?
37:35Yep. He's coming in on a Saturday just for us.
37:38How kind.
37:41Hey, listen, I checked out Conway's story.
37:44No-one found can remember seeing either his car in the street or him in the phone box.
37:48What did I tell you?
37:50Yeah, but hang on, girl.
37:53Look, they're nearly all offices there.
37:55People are coming and going all the time.
37:57Oh, er, I found the switchboard girl on the firm he said he phoned.
38:00No good.
38:02She said the bloke he asked for was out.
38:04Any more news about Fuller?
38:05No.
38:06Post-mortem?
38:07No.
38:08Look, George, I want you to go round to Conway's firm, the Drummond place.
38:11Well, it's Saturday.
38:12Yeah, I know, but someone will be around.
38:14See what you can find out about Conway.
38:16You know, use your charm.
38:17You're, er, making inquiries about who might have nicked his motor and all that.
38:20Yeah, all right.
38:21Pardon.
38:22Mr. Haskins sent me down from upstairs, gov.
38:23Out of the briefing.
38:24Sent out to see you.
38:25Yeah, that's right.
38:26Sit down, Jimmy.
38:27Yeah, but I thought you wanted me to...
38:28Listen, if, er, somebody rings for me from the fingerprint boards or the pathologist,
38:32I'll be at that number, right?
38:34China, Drummond?
38:35Yep.
38:36What about Bradshaw?
38:38Who?
38:57You picked up the stuff, all right, then?
39:01Oh, Bert.
39:02Hang on.
39:03Go on, then.
39:06Good God.
39:09You did that TV robbery.
39:10I told you it was a big one.
39:13There.
39:14Might not be up to Drummond's standards, but it'll do.
39:20Come on, George, get on with it.
39:21That plane leads at 2.30.
39:23Don't worry.
39:25We can let them dry off on the way.
39:27But you've got a crate of stuff, you ass, all right.
39:31There's plenty of time.
39:35How long have you known your fiancé, Miss Drummond?
39:38About three years.
39:40Was that after he joined your father's company?
39:44About three months, yes.
39:46He's done well, though, hasn't he?
39:48Bernie?
39:49I suppose so.
39:50I mean, it was his first job after coming over from Ireland.
39:53I know what you're thinking.
39:56He just happens to be good at his job.
39:58Don't worry, he earned his promotion.
40:01What about you?
40:03I fell in love with him.
40:07I didn't want to seem uncooperative, Inspector,
40:09but what has all this to do with my fiancé having his car stolen in Shoreditch?
40:13Well, I'm just trying to fill in a few gaps.
40:15Gaps?
40:16You see, Mr Conway was a bit vague about the circumstances surrounding the theft of his car.
40:21Well, he wasn't there when it was taken, was he?
40:30I think he's mixed up in a major crime.
40:35I don't believe you.
40:37Look, you're close to him.
40:38Has he been behaving strangely?
40:40Has he got any money problems?
40:41You must be joking.
40:44Well, what about friends?
40:45Business associates?
40:49Has he met anyone unusual lately?
40:51A man called Della showed up a couple of days ago.
40:53Della?
40:54Yes, it's funny.
40:55He seemed to upset Bernie, yet Bernie's been trying to get him work with the company ever since.
41:00He's supposed to be some sort of transport contractor.
41:03Looked more like a pimp to me.
41:05I don't understand...
41:06No.
41:09Della, you said?
41:10That's right.
41:11Max Della.
41:13Tallish.
41:14Bit smarmy, really.
41:16Seemed to be well off there.
41:18Thanks, love.
41:26Well, listen, Joe's expecting me to phone.
41:28You can make all the calls you like as soon as we got rid of this lot.
41:31But those Flying Squad people are giving me a bad time.
41:34They wanted to know where you had your jam jar pinched.
41:37You told them.
41:38Right?
41:40Now stop flapping.
41:41Where's Mr. Potter?
41:42I don't know.
41:43What do you mean you don't know?
41:44Is you a governor, ain't he?
41:45Sure do.
41:46You call me sir, mate.
41:47Hey, for crying out loud, Jack, what are you doing?
41:48Hey?
41:49Barging in here, shouting at my boys.
41:50Look, we're all in trouble, and you should bloody well know that.
41:51Now clear off.
41:52Nobody tells me to clear off, sir.
41:53Now look, mate, we're all in it up to here.
41:54Right?
41:55In case you hadn't noticed, a million quid's of a gold bullion has been nicked right under our noses.
41:58Well, what's the latest?
41:59Go and buy yourself a newspaper.
42:02Yeah.
42:03Yeah.
42:04Yeah.
42:05Yeah.
42:06Yeah.
42:07Yeah.
42:08Yeah.
42:09Oh, Garth.
42:10It's all right.
42:11Della, I wouldn't go to it myself.
42:12Good lad.
42:13I don't know this hero, do you?
42:14Get George for me, will you?
42:15Well, I don't know this hero, do you?
42:16Get George for me, will you?
42:17Most of his early form out of town, reputation as a draughtsman.
42:39Most of his early form out of town, reputation as a draughtsman.
42:45But five years in 1968 for a conspiracy to rub banks.
42:50Della?
42:53Yeah, that sounds like him.
42:56One more thing, Gov. Conway was here first thing, evidently,
43:00organising a dispatch of gear to some weightlifters doing a tour of the Middle East.
43:04Get all the information you can on that, George.
43:07Yeah, you know, flight numbers, weigh bills, agents, all that.
43:12Hello, Gerry. I'll explain later, George. Ta.
43:16Gerry, it's Jack Regan here.
43:18Yeah, fine, mate. Listen, if you had half a ton of bent gold for sale,
43:22where would you try and place it?
43:25Yeah, that makes sense.
43:28Yeah, many thanks, mate. Ta.
43:30Jimmy, get on to London Airport. Find out all direct and communicating flights to Beirut today.
43:36No, no, of course I'm not angry.
43:39Oh, for crying out loud, George. I'll explain everything later.
43:43I told you it'd be awkward.
43:45She's invited some people for lunch and I'm supposed to be there or something.
43:49Well, that's too bad, kiddo.
43:51Look, I've got a couple of calls to make. Get that stuff into the crates, will you?
43:54Well, you know how it goes together.
43:57Oh, come on. I haven't gone all day.
44:01Hey, and, er, remember, you're into this all the way, so no bottling out.
44:06All right?
44:07Oh, Mr. Lamborn, please. Well, get him out of it. I can't afford to hang about.
44:18Yeah, well, there's a funny thing, actually. There are no records in the office.
44:24Yeah, it seems how Mr. Conway made all the arrangements himself.
44:28OK.
44:29Yeah, no-one will be able to tell there's been a switch.
44:32Now, what did you do with your weights?
44:33I chucked them in the bushes.
44:34Great, great. Come on. Let's go.
44:38This is bloody ridiculous.
44:40Look, don't panic, Governor. They'll have every air cargo terminal covered by one o'clock.
44:45Well, quite a few flights will have gone by then. It could be in any of them.
44:48Yeah, but I just couldn't get enough fellas down here in time.
44:50Well, we're not exactly placing a trail, are we?
45:20Oi! Don't be daft! It's only a load of iron, you know.
45:26What's all that about?
45:27Oh, that gadget's looking for explosives in cargo, see?
45:30It detects, um, ferrous metals, iron and steel.
45:34There's no point in squirting it at iron weights, is there?
45:37That's why it made all that noise.
45:39Iron weights?
45:40Well, that's what the weights are made out of, cook.
45:42That's what caused all the row.
45:44Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, um...
45:46Hang about.
45:50You changed the weights!
46:20Come on, George!
46:37Um, we've lost the wheel now.
46:50Come on, George!
46:52Come on, I mean.
46:58Uh!
46:59Hey!
47:00What's this going?
47:02What's this going on?
47:04Hello, Mr. Deller. You are in good shape, aren't you?
47:23My name's Regan, Flying Squad. I think you'd better stop.
47:27It'd be better for both of us. You're nicked,
47:30and I'm not authorized or insured to drive this car.
47:34You caused a lot of people a lot of bother.
47:46I'm very sorry, Inspector, but I didn't have a lot of...
47:48All right, you're instrumental in the capture of Deller
47:50and the recovery of stolen property,
47:52but you admit to disposing of a dead body
47:54and assisting in the shipment of gold.
47:55But listen, it's...
47:56There's also the matter of the gamekeeper.
47:58Yes, but you don't seem to realize I was under a hell of a lot of pressure.
48:00All right, you're being blackmailed.
48:02But nevertheless, Mr. Conway, I must warn you,
48:04the charges will probably be preferred.
48:06Of course, you have helped.
48:08And if the rest of the gang can be caught,
48:11well, we'll do what we can.
48:12We, uh, we tracked down Conway's dabs.
48:25He was a tear-away as a kid.
48:27His real name's Phillips.
48:29Do you know what?
48:30What?
48:31He and Deller shared the same room at Ballstall for two years.
48:35Now, Phillips seems to have gone pretty straight.
48:37Jimmy, nice one.
48:40Yeah, but that explains everything, Gav.
48:42I know, Jim.
48:44But, I mean, aren't you going to nick him?
48:47Conway.
48:48It's all been taken care of, son.
48:50Oh.
48:51I know what you're thinking.
48:59Yeah?
49:00Yeah, about the hard time Terry Potter's going to give you.
49:03Yeah?
49:04I was wondering when you're going to shell out that fiver, you owe me.
49:07I know what you're doing.
49:22I know.
