00:19Hello, Paul. What are you doing?

00:21Trying to draw this tree.

00:23Isn't it a bit cold to be outside?

00:25Not really.

00:30Like a horse at the light, act upon your head.

00:33Swift and start a brush, and horses over,

00:35snuck your lovely tread.

00:37With crab, now you leave,

00:39for a goose, the back's white and speed.

00:41Sir, I let them start,

00:43send me off the other side.

00:45It's done by Julian, called Harry the Worm.

01:00One day, Harry the Worm tunneled out of his hole

01:03to find that he tunneled into jail.

01:06As soon as the robbers saw him, they said,

01:08how on earth did you get him here?

01:11All right, children. Carry on with the Regan.

01:13I'll be back in a minute.

01:15It's Mrs. Regan, isn't it?

01:16Yes.

01:17She's got an appointment at the school dentist.

01:1911 o'clock.

01:20Didn't she tell you?

01:21Yes.

01:22Yes, she did, yesterday.

01:23Sorry, I'm a bit late.

01:24But Susie didn't come to school this morning.

01:27She did?

01:28Well, she isn't here.

01:30I thought, um...

01:31Well, I thought you kept her home for the appointment.

01:33She must be here.

01:36Susie!

01:37What time did she leave home this morning?

01:39As usual, quarter two.

01:41Can I have your attention, please, children?

01:43Has anybody seen Susie Regan this morning?

01:46No.

01:47In the playground?

01:49No.

01:52She's got to be here somewhere.

01:54She's just got to be.

01:56How if tough are the best of people is?

01:58Yeah, Angelic Joe.

01:59Who just saw me all over?

02:00Yes.

02:01That goes with me to read.

02:03But Si we just saw the right thing sing

02:05When...

02:06For a sibling she else.

02:07No!

02:08What if is she snake

02:09And long she can fight with she snake

02:12Then Rob asked the sheriff Derrick

02:13How knew?

02:14I didn't ask...

02:15That person could be there.

02:16Leave you there.

02:17A陸 of her mother is sort more of a joke?

02:19Or she cracked down for a.-

02:20That boat dream of your friends

02:21Or I had, oh, i had to be in the countryside

02:22You know, I was looking at a list.

02:39There's millions of pounds worth of jewellery and private saves all over the country

02:44that a handcuffed chimpanzee could open.

02:49What does your nose tell you then, Stan?

02:52It's definitely on, Mr. Regan.

02:58You know I would have let you down.

03:00You haven't done. Yet.

03:03Did you cover those people I mentioned?

03:05Yeah, I've been asking a lot of questions, getting nowhere.

03:09It has to be a new firm then.

03:14Yeah, yeah.

03:16If anybody knew, they'd cut my heart out.

03:18You'll put your ears about against, then.

03:20I'll see you at the same time next Thursday, right?

03:24Thursday.

03:28Buttons, buckles, laces.

03:31Laces.

03:33Sort of patent.

03:35She's very particular about what she wears.

03:38Long white socks.

03:40And coat.

03:42Dark blue duffel.

03:43Um, with a hood.

03:47How is her hair done?

03:53Like mine, but longer.

03:54With a fringe.

03:59What is it?

04:00Is there some news?

04:01I think Paul may be able to help.

04:03Did you see?

04:04Did you see who took Susie?

04:06You must tell us everything.

04:07Let me question Paul, Mrs. Regan.

04:08We've just got to get her back.

04:10Right.

04:12Now, do you know something, son?

04:15Saw Susie this morning.

04:17He lives just round the corner.

04:19What happened?

04:20She was in front, on the other side.

04:22Where?

04:23Right Avenue.

04:24And you were a real detective, mister.

04:28Go on, son.

04:29There was a woman.

04:30With a car.

04:30A woman?

04:31Yeah.

04:32I would.

04:33She was talking to Susie.

04:35Then they got in the car, went up the road.

04:39You haven't booked your holiday period.

04:42I need to know.

04:43It's only bloody October.

04:44Can't it wait?

04:45August would be convenient.

04:48I'm still only 11 days this year.

04:50Nine.

04:54Regan.

04:59This morning?

05:02Who's with you now?

05:04Yeah, I know him.

05:05I'll come right away.

05:07I need to know by Friday.

05:10Tuesdays and Fridays.

05:11I can't take her.

05:12Well, why not?

05:13I have to open the office at 9.15.

05:15It takes half an hour on the bus.

05:16She's only eight.

05:18A lot of kids of her age go to school on their own.

05:20Well, lots of mothers need a kick up the arse, then.

05:22Don't you dare criticize me.

05:24When will Knowles be back?

05:27He said seven.

05:30This neighbour's boy, where does he live?

05:33He can't tell you anything more.

05:35Where does he live?

05:36Oh, Jack, I know you.

05:37You've got screaming in there like a stuck pig.

05:39Why don't you think of me for once and Susie?

05:42Let Knowles deal with it.

05:44Isn't your case anyway.

05:46It's my daughter.

05:47How many times have you been to see her in the last six months?

05:52Less than I'd wanted to.

05:53Twice.

05:54That's not fair.

05:55It's a fact.

05:59I'll phone her every week.

06:01That's not the same.

06:02I didn't come because of the situation.

06:10What situation?

06:12Your Aryan language laboratory boyfriend.

06:15That's all over.

06:17You didn't tell me?

06:18No.

06:21What happened to true love?

06:23Holding hands into the sunset.

06:28Did he take his bed with him?

06:31Must be a good market in secondhand four posters.

06:34Among cropped divorcees.

06:35So, we'll have to think of another excuse for not visiting Susie.

06:40If we ever get her back.

06:42I'm sorry.

06:52I thought it was all going to work out for you.

06:55So did I.

06:58So did I.

07:08Come in.

07:12You two know, John?

07:16Hello, Jack.

07:17How's the division?

07:18Well, I get to eat.

07:19See the wife.

07:20Take the dog for a walk.

07:22I never had a dog.

07:23You had a wife?

07:24Who thought a policeman was a man on a bicycle with a funny hat and a pension.

07:29Well, you know the basic facts.

07:31I want the details.

07:32There aren't many yet.

07:33I've implemented all standard procedures.

07:35That sounds like section 10 from the good policeman's manual.

07:39But then you were always one for standard procedures.

07:42And they get results.

07:43Sometimes.

07:44You haven't changed much, have you?

07:47I'm not sure how to take that.

07:48I thought you would have been promoted by now.

07:51What would I do with an office carpet and a tin of paperclips?

07:54What's happening?

07:56We're checking the description of the woman to see if she's known.

07:59Between 20 and 40.

08:01Blonded.

08:02Medium height.

08:03Trouser suit.

08:04No distinguishing marks.

08:05We think the car was a Capri.

08:08Gold vinyl roof.

08:10Registration?

08:10He didn't notice.

08:12If he said she was wearing a moustache and driving a Rolls, you couldn't be sure.

08:16Not with a kid.

08:16Well, he seemed intelligent enough to me.

08:20Let me speak to him.

08:22No.

08:23Well, why not?

08:24Look, Jack, I do know how you feel.

08:26Do you?

08:27I sympathize, but this is division, and I've dealt with two other cases of this nature before.

08:32Now, you listen to me.

08:33I don't give a toss whether you're the best bloodhound around.

08:36Now, we can do this together, but don't you waste my time with departmental politics.

08:41Look, Regan, I'm telling you.

08:42Stop it, you two.

08:43Stop it.

08:43There is one thing that puzzles me, though.

08:52What?

08:56Well, if it had been a man instead of a woman, or if it had been the woman abducting a baby rather than an eight-year-old,

09:04then the psychological pattern would have been far more easily recognizable.

09:08Sexual or sick?

09:09Well, a woman abducting a grown child, I mean, it's unique in my experience, anyway.

09:14Look, there must be something you can do.

09:16Just standing here talking about it isn't going to find her.

09:19We'll find her, Kate.

09:27Now, for me, thank you.

09:28That isn't going to help, you know.

09:40I haven't been helping you for years.

09:58I haven't been helping you for years.

10:22I've been helping you for years.

10:24No, no, I told Haskins I couldn't make it till three.

10:28Three? George Carter's still on sick leave.

10:36Any news?

10:38Nothing yet. I brought some photographs.

10:41Have a look at them.

10:43They're coming.

10:54Photographs?

10:56This woman may have been seen hanging around the school recently.

10:59You may have noticed her.

11:02Come on, it's worth a try.

11:04Who are they?

11:06They're basically women that have been convicted for child molesting,

11:09you know, that sort of thing.

11:11She's not blonde.

11:13She may have been wearing a wig.

11:15Oh, sorry.

11:24Nothing.

11:37Nothing.

11:42I've also advised the school

11:45that we want to keep this away from the media for the moment,

11:48even the local press.

11:50Doesn't it help?

11:51No.

11:53Especially since Susie's a policeman's child.

11:55You see, every anti-copper crank

11:57will be sending us in ransom letters.

12:23Regan.

12:27You got the shirt?

12:28I want to talk to Susie.

12:29She's safe and well.

12:30I want to talk to her.

12:32Don't waste my time, Inspector Regan.

12:34I was expecting a woman.

12:36Who are you?

12:38What do you want?

12:39Your nose out of our business.

12:41What business?

12:42You know what I'm talking about.

12:43I'm not a bloody mind reader!

12:45Did you enjoy your chat with Proctor?

12:48Now, do you know what I mean?

12:50I'm beginning to.

12:52Forget about your inquiries, Inspector Regan,

12:54and you'll get your little girl back.

12:56When?

12:57Soon.

12:58Where?

12:59She'll be quite safe.

13:00If you do as we say.

13:02Now listen, you lay one sweaty finger on her

13:04and I'll kill you.

13:05If it takes me ten years,

13:07I'll find you and I'll kill you.

13:09Now that's a promise.

13:10You're wasting time again.

13:14What do you want?

13:15Precisely nothing.

13:16No more questions.

13:17No more inquiries.

13:18And no more meetings with Proctor.

13:20And tell no one.

13:21No one about this call.

13:23As if you do.

13:24It could be very unfortunate.

13:26And I promise you that.

13:35I sometimes hate this place.

13:44It's an holiday camp for thieves and weirdos.

13:47All the rubbish.

13:49You age prematurely trying to sort some of them out.

13:53Try and protect the public,

13:55and all they do is call you fascist.

13:58You nail a villain,

14:00and some punched-up, pinstriped hamster barrister

14:03screws it up like an old fag packet

14:05on a point of procedure.

14:07Then pops up for a game of squash

14:10and a glass of Madeira.

14:12He's taking them thirty grand a year,

14:15and we can just about afford

14:17ten days in Eastbourne and a second-end car.

14:33Is he all right?

14:41He's still on sick leave.

14:43This won't take long.

14:44All right.

14:51Hello, government.

14:52There's not much wrong with him.

14:54Yeah.

14:55She won't let me go to the gym.

14:58Look at that, I've got a gut starting.

14:59Well, a tea or coffee?

15:01A tea or coffee?

15:02Coffee, if it's not too much trouble.

15:06I'm driving a mad being at home all day.

15:09It's nice to see you, Gav.

15:10This isn't exactly a social call, George.

15:12No, I hoped it wasn't.

15:13You haven't had?

15:14Oh, no, you wouldn't have done.

15:15Heard what?

15:17Susie's been snatched.

15:19Straight up.

15:21Who?

15:22Well, that's the point.

15:24They contacted me this morning.

15:26I'm not to tell anyone I'd do anything about it.

15:28No one else is to know they've contacted me.

15:32Not Kate.

15:34Not Alison.

15:36No one.

15:50You obviously know about Stan Proctor.

15:52Well, he's convinced it's no one he knows.

15:54A new firm?

15:56Yeah.

15:57They're an heavy duty at that.

16:00The irony is.

16:01I'm nowhere near them.

16:03Well, I must think you are.

16:06At some point during the last few days, I must have touched a nerve.

16:09Governor, you must have got very close to panic them into this sort of gig.

16:13Now, one thing's for certain, it's going to be in the next few days, right?

16:16And it's going to be a monster.

16:18Right.

16:19What do you want me to do?

16:20You're not doing anything.

16:23Haven't you got any shopping, love?

16:25You know what the doctor said.

16:26Leave it out, love.

16:28You can't let him be for five minutes, can you?

16:30Alison.

16:31I knew to get like this when he told me he was going back with you.

16:33All right, that's enough.

16:34I'm not embarrassed to speak my mind.

16:35Look, I wouldn't have come round if it wasn't important.

16:38Important?

16:39Anyone would think you were the only two coppers in London.

16:41He's sick.

16:42Yeah, I'm sick of sitting here day after day being treated like a bloody invalid.

16:48There.

16:49I'll be two minutes.

16:50You're going?

16:52Yes, I'm going.

16:55I'm sorry.

16:57No, you're not.

16:58I need him.

16:59Badly.

17:01I can't explain, not at the moment.

17:02That's personal.

17:03I'm beginning to know how your wife must have felt.

17:07You better start growing up, Alison.

17:09Now face facts, you're married to a copper.

17:11And a bloody good copper.

17:12There's no need to swear.

17:13Now he could go straight to the top.

17:14But he's going to need help.

17:15From you?

17:16Mostly from you.

17:17He gets that.

17:18Does he?

17:19I can't give up on fit.

17:21What about your coffee?

17:23Oh, I'm sorry, love.

17:24But I'll phone you.

17:25You got your pills?

17:26Yeah, me pocket.

17:28Make sure Mr. Haskins knows your bank.

17:32I'll phone you later.

17:37Apart from the faces Proctor put me onto, I've been to see most of the major jewellers.

17:41Jewellery import people, insurance companies specialising in that area.

17:46And banks with safety deposit jewellery.

17:48Now it's got to be someone in one of those places that I made inquiries at.

17:52And someone that knows that Stan Proctor is a little bird.

17:55Do you want me to check back?

17:57It's the only way.

17:59Could be dangerous.

18:01Not if we play it right.

18:03And how's that?

18:04You're from a special crime prevention squad.

18:07You're there to check their security.

18:09Alarm systems.

18:12Well, you tell them you did that course when you were away from the Sweeney, didn't you?

18:15That's right, yeah.

18:17Yeah, it might work.

18:19It's got to work.

18:22There is another way, Guff.

18:24What?

18:26Do as they say.

18:27So that they do the job and you get Susie back safe.

18:30No.

18:32No-one could blame you.

18:33I could.

18:35Look, Jack, that little kid is...

18:36Now, look.

18:37I'm gonna nail those pigs.

18:39Oh, God help them when I do.

18:48Try that one back now.

18:49I spoke to a man named Lancet.

18:52Governor, are you sure you want it this way?

18:54We don't have a lot of time, George.

19:19We don't have a lot of time.

19:26Mrs. Regan?

19:30Mrs. Regan?

19:33I thought Susie might...

19:35Just might.

19:37Can I give you a lift home?

19:39What?

19:40Home?

19:41It's on my way.

19:43Come on, you look tired.

19:44Yes.

19:45Yes, I am.

25:37There's a back way.

26:07Stand?

26:14Oh, no.

26:19It was out of order.

26:26George.

26:30They really laid into him.

26:3463, 5'4 and asthmatic.

26:37He must have really given him a bad time.

26:40Yeah, he must have copped it in there and crawled out here.

26:43That's a long way to go when you're in that condition.

26:46Why?

26:49He could have been trying to get to the street door.

26:52Yeah.

26:53Or his coat.

27:04What was the name of that importer?

27:13Foss.

27:14Arnold Foss and son.

27:18Stated today.

27:20Coincidence?

27:21I don't believe in coincidence when a man's been murdered.

27:36What's the name of that?

27:37Well, I'm a son of a son.

27:38Hello.

27:39Yes.

27:42Well, who are you?

27:48Hello.

28:04Yes.

28:05Who are you?

28:06Shouldn't that be my question?

28:08Where's Kate?

28:10Are you...

28:11Mr. Regan.

28:12I'm sorry.

28:14Can I come in?

28:15Yes, of course.

28:18Is she out?

28:24Asleep.

28:26How is she?

28:28The doctor was here earlier.

28:31Oh, I'm sorry.

28:32I'm, um, Doreen Alexander, Susie's teacher.

28:34Are you a friend of Kate's?

28:36No, not really.

28:36I know her through school.

28:38I saw her at the school this afternoon.

28:41Well, what was she doing there?

28:42She said she thought Susie might turn up.

28:47Had she been drinking?

28:49I think so.

28:52The, um, doctor's left us some tablets.

28:54She's taken one.

28:56Would you, uh, buy her coffee, something?

28:58No, no thanks.

29:00Oh, you get away.

29:01I'll stay with her now.

29:02Are you sure?

29:03Yeah, that's where I can.

29:05Well, I've got rather a lot of marking to do.

29:09Susie's lucky to have a teacher like you.

29:11I remember, uh, uh, Miss Beeston.

29:16Sixty.

29:18Used to shave twice a day.

29:20Had a 50-inch bust, halitosis, and knuckles like a nevy.

29:25Ooh, if she caught you talking.

29:26I might be like that one of these days.

29:30I don't think so.

29:31You'll look like that.

29:32That's all you said.

29:37See you later.

29:40I don't think so.

29:40See you later.

29:41See you later, yes.

29:42Both and Jack?

29:43See you later.

29:45Yeah, Dad.

29:45Take care.

29:46Bye.

29:47Bye.

29:48You Mechanicalo.

29:48Bye.

29:49Bye.

29:50Bye.

29:51Bye.

29:51Bye stand.

29:52Bye.

29:53Bye.

29:54Bye.

29:55Bye.

29:56Bye.

29:57Bye.

29:58Bye.

30:28I've been trying to contact you. They thought you might be here.

30:47Come in.

30:48Where's Kate?

30:57Asleep.

30:58There's something about this case, something that doesn't fit. It doesn't make sense.

31:02The pattern's all wrong.

31:03I don't give much on patterns and formulas. You can't rely on them. And when they're

31:07not there...

31:08Well, I've been searching for a motive. If it had been purely sexual, this woman would

31:14have done what she needed to and left Susie somewhere. Right?

31:18Maybe.

31:19And if it was for any form of ransom, she'd be in contact by now somewhere.

31:23What would she be after? My silver-plated truncheon?

31:26If she was a complete head case, I think she'd have probably given herself away by now.

31:31She needed to tell somebody about it. Needed the attention. She'd been looking for the

31:36security of arrest. Now, what other motive might be possible in this particular case?

31:42Well, you're doing the paperback psychology. Revenge.

31:47What?

31:48It suddenly occurred to me, the obvious. You must have made a lot of enemies, chap.

31:54Are you serious?

31:55It fits.

31:56Conveniently.

31:57Too conveniently.

31:58Well, it's worth working on, isn't it? It's damn all else.

32:02What do you want me to do?

32:06Right. I want you to go carefully through all the arrests you've made, the convictions

32:10you've got. Say, over the last two years, to start with.

32:13To start with?

32:14Come on. This sort of resentment could go back years.

32:17Yeah.

32:31on the road and keep going.

32:34All I have now is not going to be the last one.

32:37All I have, I am ready.

32:53I will be friends, but I am not going to be the last one.

32:57Have you been in a while,

32:58Look, Jack, you've made a refutation by following your intuition.

33:01Backed up by a lot of hard graft.

33:03Well, my intuition screams that I'm onto something.

33:06I've been listening.

33:07You should be sleeping.

33:08Is this true?

33:09Kate.

33:10As soon as he's disappearing, he's connected with Jack in some way.

33:12I think he might be.

33:13He's just guessing.

33:14Do you know something we don't, Jack?

33:16Like what?

33:17You're hiding something.

33:18Why would I want to hide anything?

33:19I don't know, but you are!

33:28Your job's poisoned mine and Susie's lives already.

33:37And now this happens.

33:38You're getting hysterical.

33:40Why couldn't she have paid for someone to beat you up or something?

33:44Thanks.

33:45I bloody hate you, Jack Regan.

33:47And everything you stand for.

33:553862.

33:58Yeah?

33:59Where are you?

34:00It's going to be dodgy, gov, without a warrant.

34:01Yeah, I know.

34:02All right, shut up.

34:03I've got to go out, Kate.

34:05Don't wait up.

34:06Would you at Helen's in half an hour?

34:07Yeah.

34:08You're safe.

34:09I'm safe.

34:10I'll queue up.

34:11I'll queue up.

34:12You know, just be safe.

34:13You're safe.

34:14You're safe.

34:15You're safe.

34:16You're safe.

34:17You're safe.

34:18You're safe.

34:19I'm safe.

34:20You're safe.

34:21I'm safe.

34:22You're safe.

34:23You're safe.

34:24But you're safe.

34:25You're safe.

34:26I'm safe.

34:27You're safe.

34:28Ring her. This is the third time we've had to postpone it.

34:31I can't help that. Ring her. What do I tell her this time?

34:34I'm working. She'll understand.

34:36But they never did.

34:37Understand.

34:39One by one, they stopped inviting us.

34:42One by one, the Christmas cards stopped coming.

34:44One by one, I lost every friend I ever had.

34:48Did you ever realise how lonely I became?

34:58And that's how we ended up.

35:03Not talking to each other.

35:06Leading separate lives.

35:10Strangers.

35:14The only thing we shared was Susie.

35:19And now we don't even have her.

35:28Which one?

35:40The white one, on the corner.

35:43Listen, how do you want to play this?

35:44The way it comes.

35:45Good evening, madam.

35:46As you know, you doof next week for a North Sea gas conversion.

35:49I wondered if I could come in for a few minutes and, er...

35:51At the moment, no.

35:52Well, it could save you a lot of time and inconvenience.

35:53I'm expecting visitors at any moment.

35:54Well, it won't take a couple of minutes.

35:55I just want to do a check on the appliances.

35:56I said no.

36:16No.

36:17Police.

36:18Police.

36:19Flying squad.

36:20Ahh!

36:22It's from the back!

36:28It's locked.

36:29I heard Susie.

36:43Get out.

36:44That's my kid you've got up there.

36:46I'll shoot.

36:47You're gonna have to, cause I'm coming up.

36:49Watch it, Gav.

36:51Get back.

36:53You'll get life for shooting a police officer.

36:55Just put it down, lady.

36:58Do it, he says, Faye.

37:00Before someone gets hurt.

37:03Please.

37:04I can't let him take you away.

37:06Where's the child?

37:07Back bedroom.

37:09Why did you have to get mixed up in this?

37:11You needed the money.

37:12Come on.

37:13What's the money, you little liar?

37:15That man again, isn't it?

37:16You fancy man.

37:17Bloody Alan Foss.

37:24Susie!

37:25Daddy!

37:26Oh, love, princess!

37:28Where have you been?

37:29Oh, sorry, darling, I'm sorry.

37:32It's all over now, though.

37:34It's all over.

37:42Alan was gonna phone me.

37:43Then I was to take the kid back to near the school and leave her there.

37:45When?

37:46He didn't say exactly.

37:47Saturday.

37:48He didn't say.

37:49Sometime after the job.

37:50I don't know anything about a job.

37:51You can do better than that.

37:52I don't know anything but what I've told you already.

37:54You didn't know about Proctor?

37:55Who?

37:56Stan Proctor.

37:57He was an informer.

37:58No.

37:59He's dead.

38:00Murdered.

38:01They knew he was trying to contact me.

38:03Well, I swear I didn't know.

38:04You are in a lot of trouble, Brenda.

38:05Abduction of a minor.

38:06Armed robbery.

38:07They weren't going to...

38:08What?

38:09What?

38:10What?

38:11What?

38:12What?

38:13What?

38:14What?

38:15What?

38:16What?

38:17What?

38:18What?

38:19What?

38:20What?

38:21What?

38:22What?

38:23What?

38:24What?

38:25What?

38:26What?

38:27What?

38:28What?

38:29What?

38:30What?

38:31What?

38:32What?

38:33What?

38:34Not going to what, Brenda?

38:35I was never part of that.

38:36Of what?

38:37The robbery.

38:38But you don't know anything about a robbery.

38:39You don't know anything about anything.

38:40That's what you said, Brenda.

38:41I never knew that much.

38:43Well, what did you know?

38:52The ladies are going to love Erin all the way.

38:55Not many.

38:56Nice, blonde barnet.

38:57Good figure.

38:58Sympathetic nature.

38:59Should be a real home from home.

39:01Well, it's going to have to be, innit?

39:02For a long time.

39:05Look, if I tell you everything I know, will you drop all the charges against Fay?

39:10No deals.

39:13But I will blow in the right ear if, if, what you tell us is worth listening to.

39:21We're waiting.

39:23I only know what Alan's told me.

39:26Is Alan Foss the draughtsman?

39:28The what?

39:29Did he plan the robbery?

39:30God, no.

39:31He should never have gone involved.

39:33Why did he?

39:34Money.

39:35Well, his old man's rolling in it.

39:36That's Alan's problem.

39:38He doesn't have his father's acumen.

39:40Thinks he does.

39:42He's lost a lot of money lately.

39:44He's got involved with some particularly nasty people.

39:47Who suggested his involvement as a way out.

39:50But once involved, there was no opting out.

39:52They made that quite clear.

39:54He wanted to get out.

39:55He told me and I believed him.

39:57And what's your relationship with him?

40:00I like him.

40:02And he asked me to help him.

40:05Look, we didn't harm your little girl.

40:08I like children.

40:10She's a nice kid.

40:12Pretty, intelligent.

40:14The three of us play Monopoly together.

40:18Have you any idea what you've done to her mother?

40:22She could end up in a psychiatric ward because of you.

40:27Sorry.

40:29Sorry?

40:31Too bloody late for that.

40:36If you were Alan Foss,

40:38I'd take you somewhere quiet and I'd make sure you never walk straight again.

40:45What was Alan Foss's part in the robbery?

40:48He was responsible for selling the jewellery.

40:51Jewellery, not stones?

40:52No, antique jewellery.

40:53It came in from abroad.

40:54From where?

40:55I think Singapore.

40:56I'm not certain.

40:57And where did it come to?

40:58That I don't know.

41:00Has it anything to do with his father's place?

41:02Is he the inside man?

41:03No.

41:04No, they don't do that sort of work.

41:06It's somewhere in Covent Garden, I think.

41:08It came through Heathrow about five days ago.

41:10That's all I know for certain.

41:12I'll go and check its value.

41:13700,000.

41:15You've no idea where it's being held?

41:21No.

41:22Or when the robbery's planned for?

41:25Tomorrow.

41:26Or is it today now?

41:27Thursday?

41:28Night.

41:29Alan was gonna phone me Friday morning.

41:31Do you know any other names?

41:33Well, one of them was called Ken.

41:34I heard Alan on the phone to him.

41:36No surnames?

41:37No.

41:38He was the one that forced Alan to...

41:42Your little girl.

41:44Anything else?

41:45I didn't know about the man being killed.

41:57I swear.

41:58And I know Alan didn't.

42:01People like you and Foss make me laugh.

42:04I find you both about as funny as a broken leg.

42:12You sure?

42:13Yeah.

42:15Look, Jack.

42:16Nobody could be more pleased than I am that you got your kid back unharmed.

42:19It's just the way.

42:20It was the only way, wasn't it?

42:21You'll never learn, will you?

42:23You could have come to me.

42:25I would have helped.

42:26I wanted to in any way that I could.

42:28But you just have to con me.

42:30All this bloody rubbish about not being able to be objective.

42:34What's this all about?

42:36Look, I got her back and I got the insight on her number one set up.

42:40You don't understand, do you?

42:42You don't even want to try to see it from our side.

42:46You deliberately withheld information.

42:49Inspector Knowles is considering bringing a serious complaint against you.

42:53He had the courtesy to come and see me first.

42:55What's the matter?

42:56The old ego bruised.

42:58It could have turned out differently.

43:00Susie could have been hurt.

43:01Badly hurt.

43:02It didn't and she wasn't.

43:04You gambled with her life.

43:05Your own daughter, you bloody hypocrite, accusing me of a bent ego.

43:08You were getting no matter.

43:09Yeah, you have held crucial information.

43:11You could find an Irishman in a harp club.

43:13Regan, the minute I knew you were on this inquiry, I thought...

43:15What?

43:16Forget it.

43:17What do you mean by that, Regan?

43:18There are two kinds of jacks.

43:19Some do, some talk.

43:20He's a talker.

43:21That's why he couldn't get on in the Sweeney, and he knows it.

43:23And that isn't true.

43:25Why do you leave then?

43:26Personal reasons, which I don't have to explain to you.

43:29You've got no style, son.

43:31If I was making a complaint against another officer, I'd go to the engine driver, not his oil rag.

43:35I don't have to take that from you, Regan.

43:37I'm ready to talk to the commander. Are you?

43:39You are sick, Regan.

43:42Do you know that?

43:46Thank you for your time, sir.

43:48I thought I was getting to know you, Jack.

43:59Knowles has thrown it on.

44:01He was right.

44:02It could have been more serious, your own child.

44:04Don't you think I know that?

44:06Don't you think my guts turned over every time the bloody phone rang?

44:09Where do you think I am?

44:11I did it because she was my kid.

44:14You let these animals get away with it once, just once.

44:17And every copper and his wife will be living on a knife edge.

44:20Scared to let the kids out of their sight.

44:25Susie's all I've got left.

44:27She's the only thing in my life that's clean and simple.

44:32I don't give a damn what you and Knowles think.

44:35I know why I did what I did.

44:38And you can damn well think what you like.

44:43Jack.

44:44I didn't understand.

44:47At least you listened.

44:48Jack.

44:49Jack.

44:50Jack.

44:51Jack.

44:52Jack.

44:53Jack.

44:54Jack.

44:55Jack.

44:56Jack.

44:58Jack.

44:59Jack.

45:00Jack.

45:02Jack.

45:03I'll buy you.

45:05Jack.

45:06Come on, boss. Move yourself.

45:36Hold it. We've through the complete alarm system.

45:48He said that the whole lot would have switched off.

45:50This Peter's not wired up, is it?

45:52I don't think so.

45:55Listen, that ain't good enough, son.

45:57We've paid your bleeding, mate, enough.

45:59We'll make sure he's earned it, done his job properly.

46:01We haven't had any problems up to now, have we?

46:03No, and you know just what'll happen to the pair of you

46:06if I hear as much as a phone bell in there.

46:10Is it what you expect it, Bill?

46:12Yeah.

46:13Good. It'll be a doddle, eh?

46:14Sure.

46:15It'll be out of here in ten minutes.

46:20Lights!

46:26Kenny Jarvis.

46:28Bloody reen.

46:29I thought you saw it in him, eh?

46:31Get him out of here.

46:36You.

46:37I want to talk to you.

46:39Take it easy, come on.

46:40He's not worth it.

46:41Get in the rain on downstairs, such a...

46:43All right, old boy.

46:44All right, you heard him.

46:45Come on.

46:47I can turn it in.

46:49You phoned me a music.

46:51I didn't drink the proper leather bottle,

46:52not after the kicking you gave him.

46:54Dirty, stingy little brass ears.

46:56He's dead.

46:59That ain't funny, reen.

47:00I'm not laughing.

47:02Now, listen.

47:03Listen to me, reen.

47:04Silly, listen.

47:05Ah!

47:10Ah!

47:11Ah!

47:12Ah!

47:13Ah!

47:25Ah!

47:26Ah!

47:27Ah!

47:28Ah!

47:29Ah!

47:30shoe reader.

47:30He died now.

47:31Get off.

47:32Ah!

47:34Ah!

47:45Ah!

47:46Uh!

47:46Ah!

47:47Ah!

47:48Ah!

47:49Ah!

47:50Ah!

47:51Ah!
