03:55That you on the phone, was it?
03:57Yeah.
03:58It's about that blag.
03:59What blag's that?
04:00Don't worry.
04:01The one where the security fellow got shot.
04:03I'm not with you.
04:05For God's sake.
04:07The one where they shot the armored truck guard.
04:09And the getaway van broke down.
04:11I jacked a motor.
04:13Come on, it was on the wireless.
04:15Out of mouse ball.
04:17Good bit of driving.
04:19Go on, then.
04:20Toby McCombrey's in London.
04:22We're driving from Manchester.
04:24Where?
04:25Junk shop.
04:26Behind Lambert Road, North Kent.
04:28Near the cemetery.
04:38There you go, go.
04:39Cheers, George.
04:42You met Toby before, have you?
04:44No, I've never had that pleasure.
04:45You?
04:46No, I was on leave when he hit London.
04:48He did smoke Yevans with a hatchet.
04:50Charming.
04:53Remember this?
04:55Yeah, cheers.
04:57He's on his toes from the army.
04:59Marines.
05:00They still want him back.
05:01Court Marshal.
05:02He's a right-hard man.
05:03Vicious.
05:04He broke the back of his master-at-arms.
05:07That's a bit naughty for a driver.
05:12What is this, liquid concrete?
05:15Yeah.
05:17I was in Borneo, Cyprus and Hayden.
05:21And he did four tours in Ulster.
05:23I wonder why he deserted.
05:24Maybe you wanted a bit of excitement.
05:26Ha-ha.
05:27Ooh!
05:28Ooh!
05:29Oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:35No sign of old Bill.
06:01Yeah, well, don't expect that to last three jobs in two days.
06:04He says he's too near the bone.
06:06I'm not complaining, it's paying for me old age.
06:11I didn't know you was an animal lover.
06:14Drop dead.
06:17What time's the German again?
06:21Don't worry, son.
06:24The German is never late.
06:34That in, was it?
06:43Don't know.
06:45Hold on, gov.
06:47Whiskey, this is Zulu.
06:52Who was that?
06:53Zulu?
06:54I don't know.
06:55These photos are ancient.
06:56Terrific.
06:57Where's the camera?
06:58Whiskey's got it.
06:59Second floor on the corner.
07:00I'll get mine from the van.
07:01Get Jameson up here to take a few shots.
07:04Okay.
07:12You got a light, mate?
07:13Sure.
07:20Good.
07:43My dumb friends are enjoying themselves, I see.
07:56Jake here's the comedian.
07:57Why not stick to being punctual?
07:59And paying out.
08:00You surely don't want me to stop paying out.
08:03You'd surely better not contemplate it.
08:05Ten grand for Tover.
08:14Ten for Jake.
08:22What about Doc Boyd?
08:23I'll keep it for him.
08:25No tricks.
08:27I'll keep it for him.
08:29No tricks.
08:30You get right up my nostrils, Herman.
08:32Doc Boyd's a mate of mine, a mucker.
08:34Okay.
08:40Fine.
08:55It's the next job.
08:58Is everyone ready?
08:59Otto Schmidt, alias Peter Van Greet.
09:05Sir, five years for armed robbery, eight years for kidnapping and two years for possession of explosives.
09:11Born in Hamburg in 1936.
09:13He's wanted for questioning in France and Holland.
09:15He's known as the German.
09:17Have you met him, Gov?
09:18No, I saw him in court once during an extradition hearing.
09:21When I was at DC.
09:23Good.
09:24He must be ancient.
09:25You're hell bent on promotion, aren't you, Jimmy?
09:28Oh, sorry, Gov.
09:30You got those warrants sorted up?
09:32On what evidence?
09:33Ah.
09:34Michael James Boyd.
09:36Now, he's a known associate at Tober McCombies.
09:37Thought he only worked out of town.
09:38If these jobs aren't even Stevens, he's made a bundle.
09:39Tonight's papers reckon they're going for a million.
09:40You don't believe that, do you?
09:41They're just headline grabbers.
09:42I mean, all the tricks have been different.
09:52Well, Tober's not in town for the bright lights, is he?
09:55So, let's get some evidence.
09:58What about that other face, Gov?
10:00Not the bearded wonder.
10:01The other one.
10:02Yeah, I can't place him.
10:04Yeah, it bothers me.
10:05Well, I'm not too stuck on your faces at home, sir.
10:09Well, Jake, what do you think?
10:11Er...
10:12Go on, son.
10:13Tell him he's nothing to be afraid of.
10:16Yeah.
10:17Yeah, it's all right, I suppose.
10:18Yeah.
10:19Good.
10:20Good.
10:21I'm glad it meets with your approval.
10:23Well, it doesn't meet with mine.
10:24It doesn't have to.
10:25He's part of the movement.
10:26You're a hired thug.
10:27Your job's a job, but stuff a pantomime.
10:28Pantomime?
10:29You're pushing your luck, man.
10:30You can't go pulling jobs as quickly as this.
10:32Even the dumbest copper will be able to get a job.
10:34What do you think?
10:35Er...
10:36Go on, son.
10:37Tell him he's nothing to be afraid of.
10:38Yeah.
10:39Yeah, it's all right, I suppose.
10:40Even the dumbest copper will be able to suss this lot out.
10:42My dear Tobers, this operation is the outcome of thorough military planning and intelligence,
10:46not the muddled scheming of a bunch of Mancunian psychopaths.
10:50Military what?
10:51How do you know the old bill hasn't got this place surrounded?
10:53Where the hell's George got to?
11:07Dunno, gov.
11:08Where the hell's George got to?
11:09Dunno, gov.
11:10Where the hell's George got to?
11:11Dunno, gov.
11:12Dunno, gov.
11:13Dunno, gov.
11:14Dunno, gov.
11:15Dunno, gov.
11:16Dunno, gov.
11:17Nocunian.
11:19Where are you, Bill?
11:20I don't know, I'm quite sure, I guess.
11:22I've been trying to hear about it, sir.
11:24I'll see your next number.
11:26Tango Bravo, 9 and 10, November.
11:31Tango, yes, sir.
11:33Here I go, Bill.
11:43Whoa!
11:47Good Lord.
11:50It's me ankle, Gavin.
11:52Oh.
11:55Gov, gov.
11:57George, quick!
12:03What happened?
12:05Put that away and give us a hand.
12:09What happened?
12:11I thought they'd come back over the wall.
12:13We were playing football.
12:14Football?
12:15Yeah, you know, football.
12:16Little round thing, people kicking.
12:18It's all the rage.
12:19Yeah, it looks like it.
12:20If you'd have been on time, it wouldn't have happened.
12:22Sorry I was so long.
12:23I was stuck down C-11.
12:24They start late.
12:25Did you find anything here?
12:27No.
12:28What's the word?
12:29Well, that face you recognised from five years ago.
12:32The German.
12:33He's still involved with explosives and kidnapping.
12:35Politics.
12:36What sort of politics?
12:38Extreme.
12:39No kidding.
12:40No kidding.
12:41Oh.
12:42Yeah, look.
12:43He's hurt, come.
12:44Yeah, I served him right for showing off.
12:46Yeah, and that other face.
12:47That photo.
12:48Brings a bell.
12:49Do you want to go through the comic book?
12:50Oh, certainly.
12:51If I've got a week off.
12:52No, I probably saw him at a demo of one of those funny raids.
12:53Listen, Governor, if this is a terrorist cable, is it really down to us?
12:55Violent robberies always down to us, George.
12:56I don't care what the villains vote for.
12:57Go and have a whirl with Nicely Nicely, ask him if Special Branch have got any interest.
12:58He hates me.
12:59Everybody, George.
13:00Nicely, Nicely hates the world.
13:01But he's a super now.
13:02And I'm a detective inspector, George, and you're not.
13:03That's what makes the world go around.
13:04That's what makes the world go around.
13:05I'm not.
13:06I'm not.
13:07I'm not.
13:08I'm not.
13:09I'm not.
13:10I'm not.
13:11I'm not.
13:12I'm not.
13:13I'm not.
13:14I'm not.
13:15I'm not.
13:16I'm not.
13:17I'm not.
13:18I'm not.
13:19I'm not.
13:20I'm not.
13:21I'm not.
13:22I'm not.
13:23I'm not.
13:24But, George, and you're not.
13:25That's what makes the world go around.
13:26Give him my regards.
13:27I'd stick to darts if I were you, Guff.
13:31Oh, shut it, Bill.
13:34If you've only sprained your ankle, you're not going to get a commissioner's commendation
13:39for that.
13:40Air Force was always keen to be of assistance.
13:43But I must say, Sergeant, um, Carter.
13:46That was a little nonpluss when Superintendent Turner suggested we had a chat on him.
13:51Yeah, well, nicely, Mr. Turner said it was nothing to do with his lot.
13:56He said DI5 were involved.
13:57We're not DI5.
14:00Mo?
14:00Good heavens, no.
14:02Oh.
14:02You're Mr. Regan.
14:05Wants to know something.
14:07Yeah, look, can we go into an office?
14:09Why, Sergeant?
14:11It's a bit more private, you know.
14:12This is Whitehall, Sergeant, not the Kremlin.
14:15Perhaps we can come to the point.
14:18Yeah, all right.
14:18Have you any involvement with a German called Schmidt?
14:22And a certain William, evil Willie Sanders?
14:25And why might we be interested?
14:27Well, politics.
14:29Political offences.
14:29We don't have political offences in this country.
14:31I thought someone in your position would know that.
14:34Good afternoon, Samantha.
14:40Now, what's a nice girl like a...
14:41Typing the Minister's letters, I hope.
14:44And what have these two heroes been doing?
14:46A few blaggings, we think.
14:47Hmm?
14:48Five hundred grand so far.
14:49My, my, all without your noticing.
14:51We've just gone on to them.
14:52Don't tell me the yard's losing its touch.
14:54No, sir, we're just playing them along for a while.
14:57I wish you'd take the same attitude to my wife's parking fines.
15:00That's a different department.
15:02Now, what about these two, sir?
15:03Schmidt and Sanders.
15:05Not my department.
15:07Well, a special branch, boys.
15:10Tell...
15:10Well, that's why I'm here.
15:13Well, I'll route around, Sergeant.
15:15We're very cooperative.
15:17Yeah, well, if you could let me know...
15:18Oh, you'll hear all right.
15:20If we have an interest.
15:22Yes, the word will filter down to you.
15:24Have no fear.
15:30Just to make sure they let you out.
15:32Yeah.
15:32A warrant card means nothing here.
15:35As you possibly noticed.
15:37Take care, Sergeant.
15:55Zulu to Charlie. They've gone for a wet, I think. Over.
16:14Okay, Zulu. Look, you take a break, but leave your channel open. Off.
16:19How long you been on D.I. Regan's team, Skip?
16:23About 18 months, I suppose.
16:26I hear he's a bit heavy.
16:28He's all right. You knew, then?
16:30Yeah, just posted him from division.
16:32Well, I'd be nice to him if I were you, Sunbeam.
16:36Have a shifty round the back, George.
16:38Yeah, why not? Look, you move round the corner and I'll suss out the backyard.
16:42Be careful and don't borrow anything.
16:45Oh, sure. If I'm well behaved, I might find six signed confessions.
16:49I'll get back to the local factory by the time I sorted out that warrant.
16:56Are you in, Tober?
16:58What do you mean? Am I in? Of course I'm in.
17:00It's just you said to the German you thought it was getting close to the bone.
17:03It is, son. It is.
17:06Have you ever fought the Sweeney? They're the real heavy mob.
17:10I fought the army, Tober. In the Emerald Isle.
17:13Oh, I did.
17:15Maybe I've even fought you.
17:17No, Sonny. If you had, we'd have been doing business by the spiritualists.
17:24Zulu to Charlie. They're at the shop door.
17:31Can I help you, sunshine?
17:33I'm looking for Earlfield Road.
17:35Not within a mile of here, friend.
17:37Earlfield? They said it was close to the cemetery.
17:40We're all close to that, kid.
17:42Yeah, well, thanks anyway.
17:44Any time, Mr. Ingram.
17:48Still driving on our clutch, Joey. That shows nerves, you know.
17:51Not on me, mate. You've got me mixed up.
17:53My name's Fox.
17:55All right, Constable. Can I go into my shop now?
18:03Right, that does it.
18:11Okay, Sweeney!
18:18I'll count up to ten.
18:21Just to save as any embellishment.
18:27One.
18:29Two.
18:31Three.
18:33Four.
18:34Five.
18:36Six.
18:38Seven.
18:39Eight.
18:40Nine.
18:41Ten.
18:55Feeling the strain, old son?
19:03One.
19:04Two.
19:05Two.
19:06Two.
19:11He's changed, but you haven't.
19:12His name used to be Dave. It didn't click.
19:15When was this?
19:16Oh, er, about 14 years ago.
19:18We used to race cars, Rossendale Hill Climbs.
19:20When you asked to stand in for my regular, I gave you just one piece of advice. What was it?
19:24Always be where you wanted me.
19:29This is a fiver. This five pound says that when George came out of that alley, you weren't there.
19:33Governor, do I owe you a fiver?
19:35No. I wasn't there. Well, not exactly, anyway.
19:39Okay. I'm going to recommend you for two weeks as the Supers driver. This man can drive for George.
19:43Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
19:44All right.
19:46All right.
19:50Did you disturb anything on that, Chuck?
19:51No, no.
19:52What about that warrant?
19:54Yeah, I've decided to cool on that for a bit.
19:57Er, it's nothing to do with me, Gov, but shouldn't we nick them all?
20:00That's what Askins said.
20:02Well, what did you say?
20:03Mr. Regan said we needed evidence.
20:05I said good interrogation would produce that evidence.
20:08I said good interrogation would produce that evidence.
20:10Mr. Regan then asked for more time.
20:17Er, I'll just go and get those cigarettes, Carl.
20:23I've just been with the Assistant Commissioner.
20:25Not, I trust, in the biblical sense.
20:28Jack, can you obey orders?
20:31I mean, if they're quite clear, quite specific.
20:33Whenever possible.
20:34Well, here is one, and I think it's possible.
20:37If you get the German, Doc Boyd and Tober all together in the same place again, you will arrest them.
20:44The ACC has pointed out that whilst he is not influenced by the fact that yesterday's raid was in all the headlines,
20:50a security guard was shot.
20:52And that makes him very angry.
20:54So stop messing about, Jack, otherwise I'll find you another case.
20:57We're still going to need evidence, Guff.
20:59I mean, all we've got so far is a tipper from a not very reliable snout.
21:04Could you be clear and specific about that?
21:07Unless Georgie's men can be persuaded to shop them all in court, all we can hope to do is scare them away.
21:11At the rate you're going, Jack, that might prove to be the best available option.
21:15What's going on?
21:31The bloody law's been here sussing us out, that's all. Nothing to get excited about.
21:37That's what you've saved your adrenaline for the driving.
21:39Yes, I'll be driving in a minute.
21:41We have a contract for four jobs, Tober.
21:43Then you'll have to sue me.
21:45It's all right for you lot, 48 hours in the nick, and away home if you keep your mouth shut.
21:49Me, the Marine Commando's won a few years of my life.
21:52I can't let you do that. Just walk out like that.
21:56When was the police here?
21:57I didn't see them.
21:59Look, wake up, Herman. The Sweeney's as good as in here with us.
22:02You can't be serious about another job. Not in the smoke. Not this side of Christmas.
22:06I'm perfectly serious.
22:08Then that's your Wagnerian funeral, Heinrich.
22:11Don't expect me to sit in the bunker till we're down to the last cartridge.
22:15I suppose your plan was to shoot the cat, poison Jake,
22:18and I'd pour petrol over you and Evil Willie after a hasty marriage ceremony.
22:22Forget it!
22:41Come on!
22:42Come!
22:44Come on!
22:48Come on!
22:50Ah!
22:51Tober.
22:57Mr. Tober.
22:58I had a phone call from Manchester this morning.
23:01Your daughter.
23:05She was on her way to school.
23:0723 Drummatures Street.
23:09She's quite well.
23:10My daughter?
23:11Rosina?
23:12A pretty little girl.
23:14Dark hair.
23:15About six years old.
23:18Where is she?
23:19School, I imagine.
23:20But I can find out just like that.
23:21You know I'd kill you, Schmidt.
23:22Yes.
23:23And you'd still have her hurt.
23:24It's not my decision.
23:25You appreciate I'm not a gangster, Tober.
23:27You and your team have a contract for four jobs in three days.
23:29And ten grand at times that amounts to one hundred and twenty thousand pounds.
23:34That leaves marginally more than half for me and my boy.
23:35And you know what we take?
23:36Our airfares and some pocket money.
23:37And the rest for the calls, is it?
23:38You're not gangsters, you're a pair of bloody mugs.
23:39It's up to you.
23:40You know the score.
23:41Leave if you want to.
23:42And what if we get nicked?
23:43Or smashed up?
23:44What if we get nicked?
23:45Or smashed up?
23:46Wouldn't be your fault.
23:47We're not animals.
23:48What if we're not animals?
23:49You know?
23:50I'm not a poor guy.
23:51No one.
23:52Oh.
23:53The market is marginally more than half for me and my boy.
23:58You know what we take?
24:01Our airfares and some pocket money.
24:02And the rest for the calls, is it?
24:04You're not gangsters?
24:05You're a pair of bloody mugs.
24:07It's up to you.
24:08You knows a score.
24:09Leave if you want to.
24:11And what if we get nicked?
24:12Or smashed up?
24:14Wouldn't be your fault.

29:22activities you mean i've stumbled under something political i can't say of course
29:27but i can't stop you speculating i realize your job's terribly secret major but i can't accept
29:34your brief cover's armed robbery or putting innocent civvies at risk feel strongly about it do you
29:39inspector and when i find tober and that mob they're gonna go down for 12 or 14 years even if they vote
29:44methodist i'm afraid i'm gonna have to log this conversation morning sir
29:57so
30:04so
30:12so
30:24There'll be only one car. God knows what Toba will borrow.
30:40Your job is simple. Block this exit. But wait for my word, right?
30:43Right, Gav.
30:54You know what I'd like. One of them Uzi submachine guns. They're Israeli. Solid gear.
31:16What do you think, German?
31:17What about?
31:18That Sweeney business. Do you think anybody was here?
31:21No.
31:22Even Vili didn't think so, did you, Vili?
31:24No way, man. Toba's lost his cool. I reckon this will be his last caper.
31:30Do you, Sonny? Three blaggards and you think you know it all?
31:34The way you talk, I don't think you even know what side of the bloody Atlantic you're on.
31:37Okay, you and Eva Vili go first.
31:45Good luck, comrade.
31:54You did well on the last job. Do you still want to join us?
32:02More than ever.
32:03I've been in touch with the military council.
32:06They have checked you very thoroughly.
32:10Extremely thoroughly.
32:12Welcome to the struggle, comrade.
32:16Comrade.
32:18I have some news for you.
32:20News?
32:20Today's raid is to find the stool pigeon.
32:23That is its purpose.
32:24What stool pigeon?
32:25In our organisation, security is more important than funds.
32:29Today's raid is a mock-up.
32:31I shall stop it at the last moment.
32:33You mean, we're all jacked up for a blag and there's no blag?
32:36I suspect we have an informer.
32:38Tober could be right about the police being involved.
32:41As he nor Doc Boyd have any commitment,
32:43they may have made a deal with the police.
32:45If there is an ambush, there must be an informer.
32:49If we're ambushed, mate, we're all down for it.
32:51You'll have a lifetime in Parkhurst to figure out who shocked us.
32:54No.
32:56You and I shall remain in the background near a vehicle I shall indicate.
33:00This time, Doc Boyd and Tober are bound to put up a fight.
33:03If so, we shall slip away.
33:05Don't worry.
33:06There'll be ample time.
33:07And you were willing.
33:10I trust him, comrade.
33:11But can't you trust Tober and Doc Boyd?
33:14Because if they're an anecdote of grass, they owe us nothing.
33:17We shall be a thousand miles away before Tober can come anywhere near a courthouse.
33:21Now to arms.
33:37Take up your position.
33:46Take up your position.
33:47Chief Inspector Haskins, I don't think we've met.
34:06My name's Carver.
34:08The wife's a fair driver, you know.
34:18There's a place around the back, park the car there, go into the gents, lock the door and stay there till I tell you.
34:42Gents.
34:44Gents.
34:44They know his face.
34:47Of all the drivers in the squad, he's the last one I need to run.
34:50We may have to scrub this, Jack.
34:52You what?
34:53The ambush.
34:56We may have to let it pass.
34:57Calm off it, governor.
34:58I don't know what hatchet work's been going on, but this operation's already underway.
35:02We can't move out.
35:03You're too late, Guth.
35:04A major Carver has been to see me.
35:06You wouldn't have to be Dick Tracy to guess that.
35:08Now watch it.
35:09They explained everything to me.
35:11I'll bet.
35:11Shut up.
35:14Now Carver's outfit have got a man in Tober's team.
35:16He's managed to get inside a group of terrorists called Liberty and Peace for the People, the OPP.
35:23Now this raid is just a dummy.
35:25It's a tryout.
35:26The German reckons that if we try to feel their colors, then it must be down to one of his own team.
35:32He's going to call off the blag at the last minute.
35:34It must be off his bloody skull.
35:36Because of a grasp, the German can put the finger on the major's man.
35:40And they reckon they're pretty near to rounding up the lot of them.
35:42But it was the dwarf.
35:44Well, you try telling that to Schmidt.
35:46Look, Jack, this way you get five of them for conspiracy to rob.
35:50The other way, the major breaks up a terrorist organization.
35:53We can get them for the blags in our own time.
35:59What if it's not a dummy?
36:00Are you so frightened of the men, Major, that you're prepared to let people get hurt?
36:04Because if you are...
36:05Now, don't be so childish, Jack.
36:06And the first sign of trouble, we nick them.
36:08I told them we can't let anything happen.
36:15This is Lollipop.
36:16All units listen very carefully.
36:18This operation is not to proceed.
36:19I repeat, Operation Penguin is suspended.
36:23All units to remain undercover and observe.
36:25I want detailed reports of everything that occurs.
36:28No action is to be taken unless you have my direct command.
36:32Radio silence will be maintained, but keep listening.
36:36Off.
36:41Sorry I lost my rag, girl.
36:43Forget it.
36:44Is this one of them?
36:51Lookouts.
36:53They post tours of them.
36:54There you go.
37:18That's sign for it.
37:19Here.
37:20That guy with the long hair.
37:22His name's Jenkins.
37:23He used to be in the job.
37:26Jenkins?
37:30Yeah, I know him.
37:32He got the elbow, didn't he, a couple of years ago.
37:35Look, go to the governor, tell him we got that face.
37:39Yeah, Detective Sergeant Jenkins it was.
37:41I met him on election weekend four years ago.
37:43He was special branch.
37:45He got caught up in the eternal triangle.
37:47An MP's wife.
37:49He was told to put his papers in.
38:05Jenkins.
38:08There's not much of a future in that job.
38:10I suppose he lost his pension.
38:12That's all he could get, working for Carver.
38:15Hope I can do better.
38:17Well, at least we know who the Major's boy is.
38:21He's the Wagers.
38:22He's the Wagers.
38:40And here's the team.
38:43And here's the team.
38:43And here's the team.
38:43He's the Wagers.
38:45And here's the team.
38:46It's all off.
39:11Well, is that a fact?
39:13Yeah.
39:15German's orders.
39:30Hey, Peter.
39:43I can't believe it.
39:45They would have moved by now.
39:50I can't believe it.
40:02I can't believe it.
40:04I can't believe it.
40:09I can't believe it.
40:10I can't believe it.
40:11I can't believe it.
40:12I can't believe it.
40:13I can't believe it.
40:14I can't believe it.
40:15I can't believe it.
40:16I can't believe it.

45:37i'm not daft inspector
45:41names dates places telephone numbers crown witness you name it
45:47i know what a deal entails
45:51oh jack i think you've met major carver
46:02he's uh interested in the background to the arrest you made
46:08right uh while the german's dummy run was in progress sergeant carter identified a former police
46:13officer done up like a first-class anarchist i think his name is jenkins
46:18then one of my other boys dc thorpe was clocked by a very nasty student agitator by the name of evil
46:24willie just out of interest why didn't thorpe idea this man before today faces are like that
46:30sometimes they just click as soon as the ambush was sussed i had to follow it through
46:34if the team had been allowed to back out then the evil willie and the german would have known they've
46:39been infiltrated and ex-sergeant jenkins would have doubtless been tortured and murdered no question
46:45in a decision forced on me by an unfortunate coincidence i had no alternative but to make the
46:50claim hmm i think you slightly underestimated our mr jenkins no doubt you beat him up so that his
46:57cover was further protected right we can let the prisoners know that it was a snout that shocked him
47:03and then your man's in the clear god knows what use he's going to be now i want to let them know your
47:08snout's name of course no way major there's been enough people hurt already anyway there's no need
47:15you do you mind still in the hospital yes i would explore motives if i were you
47:24not now
47:28yes all right uh put him through george carter
47:34i hope you'll excuse this it appears to be urgent
47:38yes george governor
47:39okay i've got some bad news yeah i've been nobbled

47:55yeah well that fella that you've bashed up
48:00he just bashed me up and scarpered
48:03yeah he fought like a maniac he was obviously terrified of going inside
48:08you don't know how right you are george
48:12your man's clean away surprise surprise i told her not to underestimate friend jenkins
48:19well must be away cabinet briefing
48:23thanks awfully for all your help it all turned out rather well really didn't it
48:29uh major yeah what would have happened if i'd nicked them all in the act on an earlier job
48:36nothing much jenkins might have felt a tiny bit
48:40unloved might even have appeared at the old bailey with some
48:43cock and bull story about working for the government
48:47but who'd believe the discredited ex-policeman eh
48:51must go toodle-pip
