00:30A bit new isn't living around here, isn't it?

00:50It's nearly time. There's nothing out front. Anything your end, Oskar Troll?

00:55No, I don't like, uh... often.

01:00It's getting a bit late, isn't it? Yeah.

01:05No one's gonna plug that bank.

01:09Haskins' Informer's rule is rubbish.

01:15It's getting a bit late, isn't it? Yeah.

01:19No one's gonna plug that bank.

01:22Haskins' Informer's rule is rubbish.

01:25Mm-hm.

01:26Mm-hm.

01:27Yeah.

01:28Mm-hm.

01:30Yeah.

01:31Mm, yeah.

01:32Mm-hm, yeah.

01:37Mm-hm, mm-hm, yeah.

02:08All right, we've waited over an hour. They must have got cold feet. I'm calling it off.

02:27What did I tell you, George?

02:30Nice work with the electronics, Danny Boyd.

02:32I told you, no names.

02:38Make a nice Christmas present, huh?

02:58Come on, move yourself.

02:59Come on, go! See the doors!

03:05Sit!

03:06Sit!

03:07Sit!

03:16Sit!

04:18$200,000.

04:20They leave a bit of anything else behind besides their dust?

04:23Only the antique geezer. In there.

04:25Where is he?

04:26Hospital.

04:29Did they knock him a butt?

04:31No, not really. It's got a dodgy ticker. Observation.

04:33It's a bloody demolition job.

04:36Don't gloat. I was wrong and Askins was right.

04:40Except you did pick the wrong bank.

04:42Yeah.

04:44I worked it during a stock car meeting.

04:46Clever, that. Enough noise to drown a road drill.

04:49Yeah, enough coppers around to protect the Bank of England.

04:52Oh, fair's fair, Gov.

04:54They were slogging through a Saturday night shift on voluntary overtime for a few extra pence an hour.

04:58I mean, some of them had done a 13-hour day.

05:00Up the Federation.

05:02Uh, Governor, the Sergeant is Divisional Rep.

05:05Local lads are a bit sensitive.

05:07Yeah, so's Askins. He got the news in the middle of his bacon and mushrooms.

05:17Your man was right then, Gov.

05:19No, not quite. He was about 200 yards out.

05:21Has he got any more for you? You know, the gang might be.

05:24I don't know. He's gone to ground. He knows what's good for him.

05:28The man address.

05:29Oh, what a shambles.

05:31And we've only recently had this place redecorated.

05:34It'll take more than just a woman's touch.

05:36Miss Epple, Detective Chief Inspector Haskins, Detective Inspector Regan.

05:39Good morning.

05:40I make it 178,000 in new notes, about 30,000 used. Singles, fives and tens.

05:45You were unlucky.

05:46These are the serial numbers of the new notes.

05:48Better get that on the teleprinter to see our earth.

05:50Right.

05:51Well, Dr. Richardson, please go to casualty.

06:04Dr. Richardson, casualty.

06:06The wire man knew his job.

06:10Who?

06:11The joker who fixed these alarms.

06:12Well, one of them should have rung in the police station round the corner.

06:15It's a tough drop of blight without an assist.

06:17Would you mind saying that in English?

06:19An inside job, Miss Epple.

06:21Are you suggesting that there's an accomplice in the bank?

06:24Well, a hold-up's one thing, Miss Epple. Pulling a stunt like this is another.

06:28We shall need to do a complete check on your staff.

06:30Domestic backgrounds, the state of their accounts, everything.

06:33What are you looking for?

06:35Bride money?

06:36No.

06:37Big spenders.

06:38in the mortals.

07:00Three of me best prints. Nine quid each.

07:23How are you feeling?

07:24The writer's ring. A bit stiff, that's all.

07:28Did you see any of their faces?

07:30200,000 you're after, not my prints.

07:34We'll do our best.

07:35Yes, and you'll be investigating me too, in case I had a hand in it.

07:39I was a war reserve constable, you know.

07:43Mr Tilly, with all your police experience, did you notice anything at all about him?

07:49Now, take your time. Anything that might help us?

07:51Not really. Tough nuts, prunes, didn't talk much.

07:56Ah, but there was one thing.

08:00One of them called another by his first name.

08:03Got bawled out for it.

08:04What name?

08:05Danny.

08:06You positive?

08:08It was Danny, all right.

08:10He must have been the bloke who fixed the alarms.

08:12Why?

08:13Well, it was because the other one said, nice work with the electrics, Danny.

08:18There we are, Danny. Fresh from the laundry.

08:32No trouble.

08:33Thanks, Arthur.

08:34Hang on, I can get you outside.

08:35Sure.

08:36One of those inflatable plastic birds, a nice little blonde.

08:39I'll get here, those sort of shots.

08:41Anyway, none of them come under six feet.

08:43She'll give you away, like sticking out of the head of the bed.

08:46Hey, Danny.

08:47Yeah?

08:47Have you heard?

08:48About what?

08:49Eddie Corrie.

08:50He was up before the visiting magistrates on Friday.

08:52What did he get?

08:52Lost all his remission.

08:54Man, they said he looked real ugly.

08:56Look, you shouldn't have got mixed up in the fight.

08:57If I hadn't, Mike, you'd be in the hospital.

08:59Maybe I should have agreed to help him with an escape like he asked.

09:02And lose your own remission.

09:04He had it coming to him.

09:05How do you worry about Corrie?

09:07You've heard he's back on full stretch, then?

09:09Yeah.

09:09Arthur's scared.

09:10Not for myself, man.

09:12Corrie can't touch me in this hostel.

09:14Right, Bill?

09:14Don't you be too sure about that.

09:16I'll be careful.

09:17Boy, you two really make me feel like Monday morning.

09:19Have a good weekend.

09:20Yeah.

09:21Who says there aren't any oaks in Borage?

09:22Oh, Danny.

09:23Yeah?

09:24I remembered that radio.

09:25Do you think you can fix it?

09:26Do what I can.

09:27See you tonight.

09:28All right.

09:28All right, thanks.

09:33Will this switch Corrie somewhere else?

09:35They might do.

09:36But Dad wouldn't stop him if he wanted to get eaten.

09:39Corrie's got friends everywhere.

09:40Inside and out.

09:42Edmunds John, Gilmore Wilfred.

10:09Snuffed it last November.

10:11That computer needs a new set of marbles.

10:13Harnet, Dennis.

10:15Holder.

10:16Ernest, Daniel.

10:17Couldn't mend a fuse nowadays.

10:19He lost an arm in a car crash.

10:21I forked out a quid for his presentation, actually.

10:24How kind?

10:25Ingram, Stephen.

10:27Joffe, Daniel.

10:29Back in Australia.

10:30We had to send a file on him to Brisbane a few weeks ago.

10:33Kelly, Timothy, Johnson, Ned.

10:37Hold on.

10:37Here's one.

10:38Kiva.

10:39Daniel.

10:41Anyone else with that name?

10:42Now, right, get a full printer and Kiva from C-4.

10:48Hello, Cuff.

10:48Hi.

10:51You seen that?

10:52Snatch of the day.

10:53Not very sporting.

10:56Makes our lot look like a Gilbert and Sullivan chorus.

10:59Local infantry's not their fault.

11:00Well, maybe not.

11:01But the fifth floor expect us to pull our fingers out over this one.

11:04The only lead we've got so far is the name Danny, overheard by the antique man.

11:08It's a sloppy mistake to make for a bunch of pros.

11:12Yeah.

11:12Well, if they never slipped up like that, our job would be twice as hard.

11:15We're checking form on a wireman called Kiva.

11:19Danny Kiva?

11:20You know him?

11:21He helped to knock off a fur warehouse in Cricklewood three years ago.

11:24Was Kiva one of Eddie Corey's, Tim?

11:26That was his first job with him after a lot of petty stuff.

11:29Corey brained a night watchman.

11:30Badly.

11:31They put him away for nine years.

11:34Oh, yes.

11:34I remember Danny Kiva.

11:36But you're wasting your time.

11:38What?

11:39Well, I was in court when he collected five.

11:41That means he's still inside.

11:44Uh, he isn't quite.

11:51Morning, Danny.

11:52What's your mark?

11:53Mr Sale?

11:54Morning.

11:54Didn't know you were in.

11:56Everything's all right, isn't it?

11:58Yeah, everything's fine.

11:59Mr Sale's thinking of taking on a few more pre-release blokes now.

12:02Thanks to your good example,

12:03I've just been telling Mr Colbrook how you picked up the fault on the Dutch order.

12:06It saved us quite a bit.

12:08Microwave coils in my obby.

12:10Well, keep it to yourself.

12:11Maybe I'll be able to offer you something better when you come out for good.

12:14Why, it's good of you, Mr Sale, but, uh...

12:16You aren't thinking of taking up some other form of employment, are you?

12:19I don't know.

12:20Certainly my plan's open.

12:21Know what I mean?

12:22Yeah, I think I understand that.

12:24At least I hope I do.

12:25Someone's getting back to the bench.

12:27Yeah.

12:28Feather in your cap, eh?

12:31Get a man pointed in the right direction.

12:41Joe wants to back an assembly, smartish.

12:45Danny?

12:45Phone?

12:50Why'd a call?

12:51Well, just felt like ringing us all.

12:54See if you're all right.

12:55Yeah, I'm okay.

12:57Yeah, Bender.

12:58You sure nothing's the matter?

12:59Of course there's nothing the matter.

13:01I'm better this Monday than I have been for a long time.

13:04Me too.

13:05Uh, do you think you can nip home on your way back to the hostel?

13:10Yeah, I'll try.

13:11I'll be back at six.

13:13What would you like?

13:14What do you think?

13:16Food, I mean.

13:18Surprise me.

13:19Anyway, I've got to go now, love.

13:32I'll see you later.

13:33Yeah, ta-ra.

13:38I think I've got a right to know.

13:40Yeah.

13:41Where's the other exit?

13:42Out of the end.

13:43One collar.

13:44Sergeant, his fellow workers have absolutely no idea that he's serving a prison sentence.

13:47But jumping on him like this isn't exactly going to help his chances.

13:50That's quite right.

13:50Couldn't you have phoned?

13:51Well, and give him a chance to get on his toes.

13:53Do me a favor.

13:54Well, the damage is done now anyway.

13:56Yeah.

13:57Look, I'll ask Kiever to step out here, will you, please?

13:59All right.

14:00A few questions about what?

14:23Like who was grafting a bank on Saturday night?

14:25Me involved in that caper?

14:27Oh, no, mate.

14:28You got the wrong bloke.

14:29You really have.

14:31Electronics factory.

14:33Just keeping your hand in.

14:35Very funny.

14:36You forget I'm still in the nick.

14:37You weren't over the weekend.

14:39You were booked out till Sunday night.

14:41You were booked out till Sunday night.

15:11You're late.

15:16Had a nice trip in the country.

15:18I don't get it.

15:19What?

15:20All four of us are here.

15:22This says one of us has been arrested.

15:23We've been careless.

15:25Who are you talking about?

15:26The poor devil in custody.

15:28It's the best guarantee we've got for not being nicked.

15:31And especially for him.

15:33You see, the man the police have got is supposed to have done Alf's job at the bank.

15:38And we've made certain that the coppers have got both his name and his fingerprints.

15:42A frame?

15:44He's got brains, after all.

15:46You never tell me about this when I joined your mob.

15:48Well, seeing that this is the first job that you've done with this firm, we didn't think you needed to know.

15:53Who's the mug?

15:55He's a wire man called Danny Kiva.

15:57You don't have to worry about him.

15:59He's already doing his time.

16:01He only came out for the weekend.

16:02How the hell did you manage to set that up?

16:04Never mind about that.

16:06I'll get the money.

16:12There we are.

16:1240,000 pounds each.

16:19And you can count it if you want to.

16:20Hold on.

16:21What do you mean, 40,000 pounds each?

16:23Four ways is more than 50 grand each.

16:25You said equal shares.

16:26They are equal shares.

16:28We're next a bit of buns for me on the side.

16:30Any objections?

16:31What about five shares?

16:32The fifth share is for the other party.

16:35Without whom we could never have pulled this job.

16:37That's something else you never tell me about.

16:39Who's the fifth member?

16:40You don't need to know that.

16:41Then how can I be sure that they actually exist?

16:44Look, Phil, I'm getting bloody tired of you.

16:47I'm the draftsman in this unit.

16:49Remember?

16:50Or perhaps you'd like to take a vote on it.

16:54Anybody would think you were amongst thieves.

17:11First time I stopped at home for three years.

17:21And you think I'd risk being done?

17:22You wouldn't be the first one to blow it.

17:26Listen, Regan, I had nothing to do with blagging that bank.

17:28Needed a wireman with the right knack.

17:31It's stuffed.

17:32There must be a dozen wiremen with the same finish.

17:34They're not called Danny.

17:36Then find another bloke to win.

17:38How can I join a team anyway?

17:40You suppose their draftsman popped in a stir for a natter?

17:42Look, if you weren't at the bank, where were you?

17:48I was watching their stock cars.

17:54In the whole of London, you happen to be down in the room from a bank job.

17:58You're a stock car enthusiast, aren't you?

18:03I used to help tune the cars.

18:04Anybody will tell you.

18:06Waited a bloody long time to see a meeting again.

18:09Chose my Wiccan app, especially.

18:11All right.

18:11Who do you go with?

18:13I was on me Todd.

18:17Your first two nights out of prison, then you leave the missus on one of them.

18:20Brenda was doing a friend's hair.

18:22She's too nervous to stock cars.

18:24If you're such an enthusiast, you must have met somebody you'd know.

18:26Could have done, but I never went near the pits.

18:29Why not?

18:30Meet your old pals and all they want to talk about is what it's like in a nick.

18:34Yeah, they're going to have to wait a bloody long time to find out.

18:36I'll spend her.

18:37She knows I went to the track.

18:39Yeah, you and 20,000 other punders.

18:41And not one of them have vouched for you.

18:43No, you're going to have to do better than that.

18:58Yeah, Mike.

19:02Right, bring it into the garage.

19:05They found the ambulance.

19:06Where?

19:07Hospital car park.

19:08What about Kiva?

19:11Well, either he's cocky or he's clean.

19:12Oh, Kiva hasn't changed.

19:15Yeah, I read the file, Gov.

19:17You caught him after a chase and he broke your jaw.

19:20No wonder you're remembering him.

19:22You always seem surprised that I know how to mix it, Jack.

19:25Don't forget, I agree to this.

19:34Don't worry, we'd have lined you up for the old man, but I don't want to waste time.

19:38Hi, Mr. Tilly.

19:41Do you recognise him?

19:45Can't tell.

19:47The old war, these stocking things.

19:50Say something, go on.

19:51Well, what am I supposed to say?

19:53Except I never saw him before.

19:55Sorry, Sergeant.

19:56He only spoke a couple of words.

19:58But could it have been his voice?

20:00It was all muffled.

20:01Not having much luck, are you?

20:05Thanks.

20:08Don't push yours.

20:10Come on.

20:12It must have been somebody else.

20:15Oh, God, can't you bloody coppers leave a man alone, even after he's done time?

20:19Well, not exactly picking on him, love, when he's already in stir.

20:24How's your dad?

20:26How's Arnold?

20:27What have they got to do with it?

20:31They're keeping out of trouble, are they?

20:33I haven't seen my brother for over three years.

20:36My dad's retired.

20:38That's good news for the dock, please.

20:40And you say you don't pick on people.

20:42Oh, come off it, Brenda.

20:43If your family had a coat of arms, it would have crossed jammies on it.

20:46Well, if you're so smart, you'll know that there's never been anything on me.

20:50And now Danny's going straight.

20:52I mean, what do you think?

20:53He'd arrange a job like this with full remission coming.

20:56He ever meet anyone at your place after work?

20:59If you mean one of this gang, no!

21:02Never brought any equipment.

21:03Look, he went to the stock cars.

21:05Then he came home and he brought some Chinese takeaway.

21:07Have you any idea what it means to have your husband do something like this after three years?

21:15You're just trying to put him away again.

21:17I'm trying to recover 200,000 quid.

21:20Well, Danny never touched it, I know.

21:23He wouldn't do that to me.

21:25I keep telling you.

21:27Why would I help pull a job on him due out in a few months?

21:29You bloody would.

21:30You didn't get any loot for the job you're inside for.

21:33All the furs were recovered.

21:35Chance like this comes up, you'd jump at it.

21:37Nice little pile to come out to.

21:39Who's going to suspect a man who's doing the time?

21:41That's just so much exercise for your jaw, Raskins.

21:44You didn't think we'd get on, do you?

21:45You're pleading right, I didn't.

21:47It's just too bad the computer threw up your name.

21:49I'm coming out soon.

21:50Who earned my living?

21:51You mean you were.

21:53Ain't my guts, don't you?

21:55You know as well as I do your job was an accident.

21:59Like I did.

22:01Break my jaw and return.

22:03Say I'll slip.

22:03We want the gang who did that bank with you, Kiva.

22:07We might even make a deal.

22:09Even if I did know their names, I'd still tell you to get stuffed.

22:24Look, I know you've got a search warrant,

22:33but can't you do this sort of thing with a bit of tact?

22:35Yeah, well, we're not exactly the men from Arad's squad.

22:42Who's that?

22:43Prison welfare.

22:44Mark Colbrook.

22:46I'm the voluntary part-time associate who looks after Danny.

22:49Here you go.

22:49I'll do all I can, Mrs. Kiva.

22:58A nice bit of gear.

23:01If you're wondering why,

23:02a man doesn't like his wife to look too glamorous when he's in prison,

23:06so I hid him for the weekend.

23:09Very considerate.

23:14Inspector.

23:15I'd like a word with Danny.

23:17Just how firm is your evidence?

23:18You're his lawyer and all.

23:20I've been helping Danny for two years.

23:22Our inquiries are incomplete.

23:23He calls this an inquiry.

23:26An inquiry.

23:26You all right?

23:49You all right?

23:50Yeah.

23:51Yeah, fine.

23:52Oh, Danny, they came and searched the flat.

24:06Malcolm says he's going to get you a lawyer.

24:09What's the use?

24:11I've forgotten what this part smelled like.

24:13Well, won't be for long.

24:15Can you believe it?

24:16I'm a bloody gift.

24:19I'm a perfect suspect.

24:21Already inside.

24:22They haven't proved anything yet, have they?

24:25They've made up the miles it was made.

24:28Danny, swear to me that you've never had nothing to do with it.

24:34Jesus.

24:37Not you too, Brenda.

24:39All this stuff belongs to the ambulance.

24:41I wouldn't mind betting that, forensically speaking, it's whiter than white.

24:45But this is more interesting.

24:47A multitester for determining circuits and currents.

24:50The wireman's.

24:51Well, it would hardly be for counting banknotes.

24:54Any prints?

24:56Yes.

24:57And a positive ident.

24:59Forefinger and thumb, right hand.

25:01Danny Keepers.

25:03Right, Keefer.

25:04You're back home again.

25:05Yes.

25:18Ben was a nifty swimmer in his day.

25:32Pinched all the cups of divisional galas.

25:35Perhaps the last time he was known to have swallowed water.

25:39They came in useful before the days of trained frogmen.

25:43If it hadn't been for Ben's underwater exploits in the Southend Barge case, he might never have caught an ugly customer called Mollis.

25:52Well, Ben, can you tell me what?

25:53I'll tell you.

25:54Don't you like goodbyes?

25:55Not the crap that's been spoken over there.

25:57Sheppick should have resigned years ago before they got him on oil in file drawers.

25:59Yes.

26:00Well, at least he got his pension.

26:01Half the rent.

26:02He'll probably end up nicking people at Woolworths.

26:03No, he won't.

26:04He's got the dreaded bug.

26:05Six months.

26:06Oh.

26:07You charge Kiwi yet?

26:08Not yet, no.

26:09Well, why not?

26:10You've got enough to have him.

26:11Well, that's the trouble.

26:12It's too easy.

26:13Don't tell me you've still got doubts.

26:14A few.

26:15I mean, that job spelt class.

26:16You saw that yourself.

26:17I hadn't said, Kiwi was the weak link.

26:18I mean, rusty through being in jail.

26:19What's the problem?

26:20Well, the way someone hands us a name, hands us equipment.

26:21I don't know.

26:22I don't know.

26:23I don't know.

26:24I don't know.

26:25I don't know.

26:26I don't know.

26:27I don't know.

26:28I don't know.

26:29I don't know.

26:30I don't know.

26:31And so, Kiwi was the weak link.

26:32I mean, rusty through being in jail.

26:34What's the problem?

26:35Well, the way someone hands us a name, hands us equipment and fingerprints.

26:41And so, Ben, we shall miss you.

26:44A great crime buster.

26:47To you and your wife from the lads of the yard.

26:51A happy retirement and a bright and peaceful future.

27:00Good luck, Ben.

27:01If only the computer could learn to write speeches, we'd be completely streamlined.

27:13Sounded just right.

27:14Clearing up that bank job, I hope, Jack?

27:16There's just a few details.

27:18We've just been discussing.

27:19Why the delay?

27:20You got one of them, haven't you?

27:22Yes, it's one of our multi-testers, all right.

27:25It's not much good, though.

27:26Why?

27:27We decided to repair two weeks ago.

27:29Still on the blink.

27:30Would Kiever know that?

27:31Well, if you wanted to make use of it elsewhere, you'd be a fool not to check it over first,

27:34wouldn't you?

27:35Hmm.

27:36Is there anything else missing?

27:37Not as far as we can discover, no.

27:38Our people aren't searched at the gates items.

27:39They're trusted.

27:40How's your insurance?

27:41Say that.

27:42My Prince.

27:43It doesn't make sense.

27:44Look, Reckon, somebody's framing me.

27:45Why would they want to do that?

27:46I don't know.

27:47I don't know.

27:48It doesn't make sense.

27:49It doesn't make sense.

27:50Look, Reckon, somebody's framing me.

27:51Why would they want to do that?

27:52I don't know.

27:53Even Brenda thinks I might have done it.

27:54What's all this?

27:55The television company covered the stock car meeting for a sports programme.

27:56I borrowed the tape.

27:57Where were you in the crowd?

27:58Somewhere about the middle of the second corner.

27:59What were you wearing?

28:00My green velvet suit and a thorn roll neck sweater.

28:03There.

28:04There.

28:05What's all this?

28:06What's all this?

28:07The television company covered the stock car meeting for a sports programme.

28:08I borrowed the tape.

28:10Where were you in the crowd?

28:12Somewhere about the middle of the second corner.

28:15What were you wearing?

28:16My green velvet suit and a thorn roll neck sweater.

28:21There.

28:22There.

28:23I must have been eyeing up and that's everything.

28:25Try again.

28:26There.

28:28There.

28:29There.

28:30There.

28:31I must have been eyeing up and that's everything.

28:32Try again.

28:35He seems so keen to make a new start.

28:38Popular with his workmates.

28:39That's Harrison.

28:41Try again.

28:46He seems so keen to make a new start.

28:48Popular with his workmates.

28:50He had a whip-run.

28:52Do you make art machines?

28:54Yes, we do.

28:56I suppose your job makes you cynical.

28:58Just a shade, yeah.

29:00The money's for his wife.

29:02Normally his wages go to the Home Office,

29:04so I'm having the staff collection sent to Mr Cornwall.

29:06I see.

29:07Yeah, well, thanks a lot, Mr Salve.

29:17Thanks, anyway, for trying to give me a break.

29:20You wouldn't be mucking me about, would you?

29:23I was there.

29:24I never went near that bank.

29:37I was there, sir.

29:43Hello, Sergeant.

29:45Sorry I lost my temper last night.

29:47Nobody likes being made a mug of.

29:49That's hardly the way I see it.

29:51It's just that when one of your cases blows up,

29:53you tend to blow up with it.

29:55Yeah, I know the feeling.

29:57You see, I use my business connections to get prisoners jobs.

30:00Sale's a man with a social conscience,

30:02but, well, I'm afraid this may make him think twice.

30:05What about yourself?

30:06As far as I'm concerned.

30:08What's that?

30:12Ah, a piece of ironware we found in the ambulance.

30:15Why bring it here?

30:17Stolen from the workshop.

30:18By Danny.

30:19That's what we think.

30:21Well, that does it.

30:23There can't be any doubt now, can there?

30:25This is some kind of mistake.

30:27Come on.

30:32What was the point of this private TV screening?

30:35If Kiefer showed up in the crowd at the stock cars,

30:37he'd be innocent.

30:38That seems to be all that you're trying to prove in this case.

30:40Well, you couldn't find him in the crowd.

30:42Of course not.

30:43Kiefer's having him on.

30:44You've just got a thing about him because he busted your jaw.

30:46I'm just trying to make sure we don't charge the wrong man.

30:48Meanwhile, we trail further and further behind the gang.

30:51To use one of your own favourite expressions,

30:53the ball is beginning to bounce.

30:55You know where you're liable to bounce.

30:59Kiefer could have been set up.

31:01Or he failed to check the equipment.

31:04Ah, a craftsman like that, he'd never let it down.

31:06I agree.

31:07It's a weak point.

31:08We've gone into court on less.

31:09Just give me a few more days, sir.

31:11I think the case should be reassigned.

31:13Let someone have a fresh look at it.

31:14Another 24 hours, Jack.

31:15Talk whack.

31:16And you'd better get results.

31:18You've messed about enough.

31:25I need you authorise a home office order.

31:27Where for?

31:28To cover taking Kiefer back to the hospital.

31:29The antique dealer's already said he can't help.

31:31Well, I may want him to have another good look.

31:35All Danny ever talked about was being home for good.

31:38Nothing about people outside.

31:41Only his wife.

31:42We were real surprised at Danny.

31:45Catch me being in bad company before my release.

31:49What did you go down for?

31:51Running a ladies' college.

31:54Pimping.

31:55Hey, course language ain't allowed in here, man.

31:58Nice one, Sarge.

32:04Now, there is a chance that Danny didn't do it.

32:06No.

32:07No.

32:08Now, supposing there was somebody trying to fit Danny up.

32:10Any ideas?

32:11Nobody that I know.

32:12Hey, look.

32:13I promised to help in the library tonight.

32:14I've got to go.

32:15Stay there.

32:17Now, who's collecting from your girls while you're inside?

32:21One of the family.

32:22You wouldn't let the business slide, would you?

32:24I don't know what you're talking about, man.

32:26I can check it with Vice God in 10 minutes.

32:29Now, where was it?

32:30No, I know.

32:31Brixton?

32:33I can break up your pitch completely.

32:36Just like that, man.

32:38Now, who's trying to fit up Danny Keever?

32:43Okay.

32:44But you promise you won't ever tell anybody who told you?

32:49Well, there's this old mate of Danny.

32:51I don't know what you're talking about, man.

32:53I can check it with Vice God in 10 minutes.

32:55That's this old mate of Danny's.

32:57A vicious guy called Eddie Covey.

33:05Yeah, I heard about Danny.

33:07Too bad.

33:09I bet it made you a day.

33:12We'll have to move one of us out of here.

33:15Now he'll be doing as much time as me.

33:17Unless we find somebody fitted him up.

33:20You think I have an enemy?

33:21You threatened to get him after you'd had a fight.

33:23Tell Danny I was asking after his guts.

33:26Not that he ever had any.

33:27He used to be one of your team.

33:29I made a mistake.

33:30You mean your club and a night watchman.

33:32Stupid git asked for him.

33:34Only Danny got soft about him losing blood.

33:36If he hadn't made a fuss, we'd have been cleared out of that fair warehouse before Askins turned up.

33:41Another of your old team.

33:42Billy Peters was in to see you.

33:44That must have been a sentimental visit, eh?

33:46Been checking a book, have you?

33:49Listen, Regan.

33:51If I had a fixed Danny, I wouldn't say.

33:53But I'll tell you this.

33:55I wish I bloody had done.

33:57Filling my bags behind me.

34:00Smoking my last cigar.

34:03I wish I had her beside me.

34:07I wish I was in my car.

34:12No sweat, push.

34:15Oh, it's you.

34:17I'd like a word.

34:19You going up?

34:20Yes.

34:21To see Danny.

34:27I thought you favoured the drab look for prison.

34:29Well, I changed my mind.

34:31What about Danny's morale?

34:32Oh, you can take care of that.

34:39Well, pick yourself a drink.

34:41No, thanks. This'll only take a minute.

34:43Danny says he was wearing a green velvet suit on Saturday.

34:46Was he?

34:48Don't come that with me.

34:49On his first free day in years, you'd remember he's clubber.

34:51What of it?

34:52I want it examined.

34:54The gang wore overalls, but there was a lot of dust in that bank.

34:57Well, Danny hasn't got a suit like that.

35:06Sergeant Carter saw it.

35:08Where is it?

35:11I burned it.

35:13You did what?

35:14Well, I was afraid.

35:16I thought it might give him away.

35:19Well, if he was in that bank.

35:21It could also prove that he wasn't.

35:37Have you destroyed the suit?

35:39Stupid.

35:40It's not so stupid if he was the wireman.

35:42You still think he was innocent, don't you?

35:44Well, we haven't proved a thing either way.

35:47Listen, Gub.

35:48It might be best if we let another team take over.

35:50Well, let Haskins have it over me.

35:53Put a watch on Brittany Keever for a bit.

35:55Better still do it yourself.

35:56Yeah, anything you say.

35:57Here, what?

35:58Is this the report from the bank staff?

36:00Yeah.

36:01They've had it down to their socks.

36:02Well, somebody gave that gang inside information.

36:04Well, now we're really for it.

36:06What's the matter?

36:07The antique dealer.

36:08Had a heart attack.

36:09They couldn't do anything for him.

36:11He died half an hour ago.

36:13Familiar?

36:30Any bank I ever did was a piggy bank.

36:43Yeah.

36:44Oh, come on.

36:45Charlie.

36:46I've got him.

36:47Oh, come on.

36:48Oh, come on.

36:49Oh, come on.

36:50MUSIC CONTINUES

37:12Isn't this rather unorthodox?

37:14Won't take long. Are your alarm systems back in order?

37:17Yes.

37:20But, uh, have you had head office permission?

37:23We're trying to recover your money, Miss Huppel.

37:26May I ask why you want to study the alarms?

37:28Well, there's nobody better to guess whose handiwork it was than another wireman.

37:46Hey! Stop!

37:49Set up like this would need a bloke like Alf Stannard or possibly Ginger Tate.

37:56But Alf would be my favourite.

37:58Right. We'll pay him a visit.

38:00Also, somebody must have definitely tipped them off about this lot.

38:03You sure?

38:04No chance of doing a proper job otherwise. Too risky. By the way, a multi-tester. Cobblers. Never been needed.

38:13Excuse me, love.

38:21Where's Brenda about?

38:22No, she's gone out.

38:23Oh. I said to buy her lunch.

38:26Then you've been stood up. What a waste.

38:28Yeah.

38:29You can take me to lunch when she gets back.

38:32Yeah. How long has she been?

38:34Half an hour or so.

38:35You don't know where I can find her now, do you?

38:41No idea. You're new, aren't you?

38:45And fresh.

38:46I can see that. I didn't know she had another fella.

38:49No, neither did I. More than one bit on the side, eh?

38:52Hardly call it that.

38:53No, I suppose not.

38:55Can't really blame her for trying to liven up her life a little, can you?

38:58You know about Danny?

38:59Yeah, stupid.

39:00Better for her if he stays inside.

39:02Yeah, I'll expect so.

39:04Danny's bad news for her.

39:06You don't know who my rival is, do you?

39:08Never been introduced.

39:09He picks her up sometimes in the car.

39:12Why do you want to know about him?

39:23It's almost like a widow collecting her insurance, innit?

39:30I can do without the jokes.

39:32If this gets upstairs, you'll hear the rumble from here.

39:35You were using a home office chit issued for taking Kiva to the hospital.

39:39I still had it in my pocket.

39:40Anyway, I didn't have a chance to use it before the old boy snuffed it.

39:43That's against the book.

39:44And I'm supposed to carpet you now.

39:45What the hell were you playing at?

39:47It was useful.

39:48And that's all.

39:49Danny reckons there was a tip.

39:51Danny does?

39:52You know, sometimes, Jack, I think there's a hole in your head where your brains ought to be as big as the hole in that vault.

39:57That could have been how they knew the layout.

39:59Oh, well.

40:01Enjoy yourself.

40:15You said this branch was redesigned. How recently?

40:18A month ago.

40:20The run of the bank, these boys?

40:24More or less.

40:25Yes.

40:26We've had everything redone.

40:27Were the alarms already installed?

40:29By a separate firm.

40:30Highly trusted.

40:31Still, a painter with a bit of electrical know-how could learn a lot now.

40:36Yes, I imagine, Sally.

40:37Well, Sally had a date with me.

40:41Hmm.

40:42Quite dishing.

40:43What did he look like?

40:4430-ish.

40:45Fair air.

40:46Plenty of chat.

40:47You mean you didn't arrange to meet him?

40:48Well, maybe.

40:49I don't know.

40:50You're a cool one.

40:51Well, I expect he'll be back.

40:56See you in an hour.

40:58What, said he had a date with me?

41:03Hmm, quite dishy.

41:05What did he look like?

41:0730-ish, fair air, plenty of chat.

41:10You mean you didn't arrange to meet him?

41:12Well, maybe.

41:13I don't know.

41:15You're a cool one.

41:16Well, I expect he'll be back.

41:17See you in an hour.

41:28I know him.

41:56Phil Arister.

41:56He's got form, mostly for housebreaking.

42:05Is this a keeper?

42:06Yes.

42:08Who are you?

42:10One of your partners, you might say.

42:12Oh.

42:13What do you want?

42:30The split was less than I expected.

42:33You've got your equal share.

42:35Nobody told me it'd be five ways.

42:38Sir, you must be mad to come round here.

42:40I think you'd better get out.

42:41You shopped your own bloke, eh?

42:43Why?

42:44It's got nothing to do with you.

42:49Somebody else, right?

42:51Well, that's a nice bit of business.

42:52Frame your old man, keep him locked up,

42:55and a tidy sum of money into the bargain.

42:57But a bit of it is mine.

42:59Now, you listen to me.

43:01You touch one penny of my money,

43:02and you're going to find yourself in dead trouble.

43:04All I want is the share that I was promised.

43:06Well, I shall have to ask another partner.

43:11My partner.

43:13Yeah.

43:14I knew you didn't rig it on your own.

43:16Come back here at, er, six o'clock.

43:19What do you take me for?

43:22Come on.

43:22Where is it?

43:23I'm warning you!

43:24I'm telling you!

43:25Tenth hour of yours now, or else!

43:27Or else what?

43:29I get a message to Danny.

43:32And once he knows, you've had it.

43:36All right.

43:39All right, I'll get it.

43:43It's in the cellar.

44:06You are Nick, Sonny, Jim.

44:24I've read about it.

44:29It's all the place apart, the report said.

44:32Lovely job we did there, too.

44:33Grade one finish.

44:35Are these your regular blokes?

44:37Good bunch.

44:39What's this in aid of?

44:40The gang that did that bank.

44:41They knew what they were about.

44:42You don't think we have anything to do with that, do you?

44:44I don't mean the robbery.

44:46Somebody gave them the layup.

44:47A rundown on the alarms.

44:49Look, Inspector, none of my lads would touch that game.

44:51Nobody missing from work?

44:52No.

44:53Knock and vote for every one of them.

44:54Don't get your brush in a tangle.

44:56I have a few words to say to our architect as well.

44:59Yeah, I'd like a few words with him myself.

45:01Where can I reach him?

45:08Him?

45:10Someone you know.

45:10Thanks.

45:26Parrish, please.

45:34Another carnivore that he planned for you, son.

45:36Thanks.

45:40Look, sir, it's very important that they see these plans right away.

46:10We've got Parrish, Guff.

46:18No sign of the girl, I'm afraid.

46:19Don't worry, George.

46:20She's up there with Colbrook.

46:22Oh, so he's the boyfriend?

46:23He was the architect.

46:25He knew that bank like the back of his hand.

46:27Crafty.

46:27Yeah, he went a bundle on her, started taking her out, living it up.

46:31Had a word with his partner.

46:33He owes his firm a lot of money.

46:35Some welfare man.

46:37Yeah, been looking after his own.

46:38Mark!

46:45What is it?

46:46What are you doing here?

46:47Listen, I was followed when I went to collect the money one of the gang.
