00:00Hello, how are you?
00:21Fine till I saw you.
00:23Don't be like that, Judy.
00:24Leave me alone.
00:25You haven't seen me for a month.
00:26Been a nice interval.
00:28Carry a bag for you, miss.
00:29I can manage.
00:38Judy, love.
00:39One more trip.
00:40Just one.
00:41That's all I promise.
00:42You and your promises.
00:43All I have asked for was the truth.
00:45Please.
00:54One more.
00:55If not...
00:56Are you threatening me?
00:57Not me.
00:58I'm anticipating what they'll say.
01:00Tough.
01:04You don't walk out on these people, love.
01:06They don't invite you, RSVP.
01:08They tell you.
01:10They'll put me under for sure.
01:17They'll fix you too, you know.
01:20Listen.
01:21No more trips.
01:22I've been conned by you for the last time.
01:25I didn't have a lot of illusions.
01:27I didn't ask for...
01:29Go away and leave me alone.
01:30Go away and leave me alone.
01:32Go away and leave me alone.
01:36I don't react in my room...
01:42How many surprises will that scare?
01:52You all have to.
01:55I'll have to.
01:57Go away and leave me alone.
01:58MUSIC PLAYS
02:17Grin on his face.
02:18You know what he said?
02:19No.
02:20No hard feelings, officer. It's all part of the game.
02:24Oh, game. I love that.
02:25I said, listen, it might be a bloody game to you.
02:28It's not to me.
02:30Lawyers.
02:31I could have chinned it.
02:34So, Jack?
02:35Success?
02:3650%.
02:37We showed. No, he didn't.
02:40Acting on information.
02:43It's in the book.
02:45Yes, Sudbury. Garage, you know.
02:47Right.
02:48Out there all night, were you?
02:50All night.
02:51The weatherman says there was a frost.
02:53So does Jack Regan.
02:56So you haven't heard?
02:58A nice little blagging.
03:01Oh, yeah.
03:02Garage owner.
03:03In Sunbury.
03:05Not Sudbury with a D, but Sunbury with an N.
03:09N as in nicked.
03:16Just one letter out, or about 18 miles as the crow flies.
03:20Stupid prat.
03:21Your snout either needs elocution lessons or is ears syringing.
03:26With sulfuric acid.
03:28Well, that's up to you.
03:30You won't be asking me to okay any expenses, will you, Mr. Regan?
03:36Batman and Robin.
03:37What's the SP on that Richard of yours?
04:05What's the SPO on that Richard of yours?
04:08Judy?
04:08Yeah.
04:09Fine, no problem.
04:11We've got troubles enough without some rock little Richard running out on us.
04:14She's not running, huh? What gave you that idea?
04:17I know, don't I?
04:18How?
04:19Because it's my job to know.
04:21Temperament, that's all.
04:23Time was when you could pull her.
04:25Now you're bad news.
04:26No.
04:28Well, it's a... it's a phase.
04:31You know what they're like.
04:32Kissing a cuddle.
04:34I've tumbled you, Alan.
04:35You're all bunny.
04:35Give me two days, Reg.
04:37That's all.
04:38Two, like a pig's uncle.
04:42She knows a lot, doesn't she?
04:44Words and music.
04:46Her mouth is half as loose as yours.
04:48Rubbish.
04:49You get lippy with me.
04:54She starts spreading it round the houses.
04:56Never.
04:57It's not her style.
04:58Next thing you know, we'll have old Bill round here feeding our collars.
05:00Not in a million years.
05:03You boy wonders.
05:04You're done or you're born.
05:05Get a sweet set-up like this.
05:07Steady earner.
05:08Once in a lifetime.
05:10Well, I'm not sitting around like some jaffer and let it be Nick from under me.
05:15She's got to go.
05:15Cheers, Guff.
05:23Sleep tight, George.
05:24I hear more night work than there now.
05:26See you, Bill.
05:26Get out.
05:27Get out.
05:27Oh, bed.
05:43Bed.
05:44Bed.
05:44You're late.
05:54Not bad.
05:55Coming from you.
05:58Morning.
05:58What happened to you yesterday?
06:05A court magistrate had a migraine.
06:09And last night?
06:10We had a job on.
06:12Catch anything?
06:15A cold, I think.
06:16What's all that about?
06:29So you did forget.
06:30Forget what?
06:33Betty's 21st.
06:37Oh, my God, yes.
06:40It's all right.
06:40You weren't expected.
06:41I'm sorry, love.
06:48Oh.
06:50Still warm.
06:58Give us a flash, darling.
07:00Fat chance.
07:02Here.
07:04If you haven't left by now,
07:06then you're obviously not teaching the first period.
07:09Now, if you're not teaching the first period,
07:12we've got time to...
07:14You'd nod off on me.
07:18Keep them wanting.
07:19That's what they say, innit?
07:20Oh, yeah.
07:22You do that all right.
07:23All right.
07:23Let's go.
07:24You do that all right.
07:26Mm-hmm.
07:27Mm-hmm.
07:28Mm-hmm.
08:02Hi.
08:22Can you post my polls for me?
08:25Where are they?
08:27On the whole table.
08:57Who is it?
09:01Lily Law.
09:03Who else?
09:05Want to see my credentials?
09:07Cheeky table.
09:09You haven't shaved.
09:11Never do till I've had it away.
09:13Ah.
09:14Where's Peter Fledge?
09:15With his boyfriend, dear.
09:16Where else?
09:47You gave me a bum steer, Fledge.
09:49Me?
09:50I don't believe it.
09:51Big time motorman's drum in Sudbury, yes?
09:54Oh, that's how I heard it.
09:55It was Sunbury.
09:57As in sunshine, not Sudbury.
10:00Oh, God.
10:01Was it?
10:02It was.
10:03Well, you know me, Jack.
10:05If it doesn't happen under the GPO tower, it doesn't happen.
10:09Another couple of tips like that, I'll be back wearing it all out.
10:12I'll make it up to you.
10:13Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
10:15Next one will be a stone ginger.
10:17If it isn't, I'll find an unusual position for you.
10:21I promise you that.
10:25Promises, promises.
10:29I like it when you've got your Irish up.
10:31Reminds me of a sailor on you in Port Said.
10:34Here.
10:35Your dad wasn't a Navy man, was he?
10:37No, he wasn't.
10:38Well, the Osmere Port down the Manchester Ship Canal, that was his limit.
10:42Listen, the next time you're here, we can put your death aid in, eh?
10:45Right, sir.
10:46Got this down.
10:51Take care.
10:53Oh, God bless you, Gav.
10:56Got all the gold, that Jack Regan.
10:58Yeah.
10:59Up the workers.
11:07Mmm.
11:08Delicious.
11:09Now, you've got to own up.
11:11There are not many husbands who meet their wives out of work midweek
11:14and treat them to a four-star lunch, are they?
11:16Four-star?
11:17Yeah.
11:18That delicatessen on the corner of Prow Street.
11:19Gluckman's.
11:20Star of David.
11:21So who's counting?
11:22You were.
11:23You're only doing it because you're eating up with guilt.
11:26What, about your Betty?
11:27Amongst other things.
11:28Many other things.
11:29Yeah, listen, I phoned her.
11:30Sounds like a right raver.
11:31Yeah, feels like one.
11:32A little fragile, are we?
11:33Every time the school bell went off, read my fittings ache.
11:34Anyway, the point is, if I was a bank clerk, or on an oil rig, or flash Carter in the
11:35Beano, I wouldn't be able to be here, would I?
11:36Well, good as it is to see you, love.
11:37It is a pleasure I'd forgo.
11:38Know something from the sweet trolley?
11:39What, afters?
11:40A little fruit for a madame, eh?
11:41What?
11:42What are they?
11:43Light cheese.
11:44You're joking.
11:45Chitter not, madam.
11:46Are they five?
11:47Are they five?
11:48Oh, no.
11:49Oh, no.
11:50Oh, no.
11:51Oh, no.
11:52Oh, no.
11:53Oh, no.
11:54Oh, no.
11:55Oh, no.
11:56Oh, no.
11:57Oh, no.
11:58Oh, no.
11:59Oh, no.
12:00Oh, no.
12:01Oh, no.
12:02Oh, no.
12:03Oh, no.
12:04Oh, no.
12:05Oh, no.
12:06Oh, no.
12:07Are they five?
12:08I'm only a sergeant.
12:10What do you do with them?
12:12Well, at first you peel them, you see, and then you throw them away.
12:16What do you think you do?
12:17You eat them.
12:19Oh.
12:20Like king-sized grapes.
12:22Yeah.
12:23No wonder the Chinese are so thin.
12:29Mmm.
12:30Not bad.
12:32They always remind me of fingers I saw once in the mortuary.
12:36After the quacks had peeled off the skins to reconstruct the prints.
12:39Oh.
12:40Do you mind?
12:42They ought to be getting back, I suppose.
12:44What is it this afternoon?
12:46Othello with 3B.
12:48It's funny, isn't it?
12:49There's been soldier poets, coal miners, cricketers, civil servants.
13:03Bet there's never been a policeman poet.
13:06Haven't you read Jack Regan's sonnets?
13:09That'll be the day.
13:11Johnny.
13:12You wanted to see me, Mr. Crofts?
13:25Yeah.
13:26Take a seat.
13:27Little Bird tells me you were on that Hatton Garden job.
13:41Big Mert.
13:42It drove itself, didn't it?
13:43It's not the way I heard it.
13:47I might have a job for you, son.
13:48Can't be baited.
13:50The question is, I don't know if you're ready for it.
13:52Try me.
13:53Ready to move up with the pros, are you?
13:55Yeah, out of the three-rounders.
13:57When you want it done.
13:58There's no time like the present.
14:00I'm fit.
14:01I reckon I can drive a drag with the best.
14:04There's more to this than driving.
14:07How much more?
14:08A bit of aggro needs sorting out.
14:11Why me?
14:13Need smart boys.
14:14Mugs are two quid a go.
14:16How much?
14:18One-er.
14:19Leave off.
14:20One-er now.
14:21Another when it's done.
14:22200 sobs for sorting someone out.
14:24And all it leads to.
14:25No Johnny jumped up with me, you know.
14:28Tell me more.
14:34Ready, George?
14:35Yeah, hold on, Garvel.
14:36Just get me coat.
14:41Bedroom windows open.
14:42Yeah, let the fog out.
14:43And the villain's in.
14:45They should be so lucky.
14:55You see the missus?
14:56Yeah, I took her out for a walk at lunchtime.
14:58Oh, very nice.
15:02I miss the sisters 21st.
15:04When was this?
15:05Last night.
15:08Naughty, naughty.
15:10I was out with that wicked Jack Regan, weren't I?
15:12Yeah.
15:13In the rhododendron bushes of sinful Sudbury.
15:17Did you see the flags?
15:18Yeah, in all her glory.
15:26Get over!
15:28Drive a jump car, they think they're kamikaze pilots.
15:31They are two policemen.
15:32They are two pilots.
16:01I don't know.
16:31I don't know.
16:41Good night.
16:43Good night.
16:53Hello.
16:55Hello.
16:57What is that?
16:59I'm in trouble.
17:01I'll give you a lift home if you're not going to be long.
17:05Ten minutes?
17:07Fine.
17:09I'd post George's pools but I'd left my coat in the car.
17:11Borrow mine.
17:13Oh, thanks.
17:15It's freezing, although it looks nice.
17:20Mrs. Carter,
17:21you must find a moment tomorrow to go over your next term's timetable.
17:24Oh, yes. Right, Mr. Baker.

19:21It's amazing what they can do nowadays.
19:28And what is it?
19:31She's dead.
19:34Dead?
19:36An hour ago.
19:38But I said...
19:39Oh, Christ.
19:44Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, mate.
19:52Request?
19:55Yeah, um...

25:14Up at the school.
25:15Oh, been an accident, has it?
25:18No, not an accident.
25:21Well, like I told you, when I play, I play for keeps.
25:26But murder?
25:31Cold-blooded murder?
25:33No one screws up Ridgecrofts.
25:35No one.
25:37One thing, though.
25:39You blew it.
25:40Wrong teacher.
25:42I know.
25:43You wanted a Miss Grinden.
25:45You hit a Mrs. Carter.
25:54Copswife.
25:56Yeah, Benson says he remembers where he buried it.
25:59Great.
26:00Tell him to draw us a sketch map.
26:02We'll borrow some engineers and go prospect him.
26:04Composing he wants to lead the search party.
26:07You mean bring him up from the moor?
26:09No way.
26:10That was my reaction.
26:11It'd be like a rerun of the OK Corral.
26:13Yeah, it's a funny thing that Wyatt Earp lived to be 80.
26:16F-Division, wouldn't he?
26:21Oh, er, I've given George Carter a week's compassionate, as from midnight last night.
26:26Great.
26:27Well, what's wrong with that?
26:29No, it's just what he needs.
26:30A week to feel sorry for himself.
26:31He'll have too much to do.
26:33Anyway, better that than screw up some job because his mind isn't on his work.
26:37Now, what's that supposed to mean?
26:39You really know your lads, don't you?
26:41Do you remember that copper shot in Mayfair one hot Friday afternoon?
26:45A young PC was married the next morning.
26:47By 11.15, he was back on duty.
26:49That was George Carter.
27:09Debbie!
27:10Debbie!
27:32Terrible, terrible business.
27:34I don't know what the country's coming to.
27:39Yes, sir.
27:41Playground duty.
27:44400 howling banshees.
27:48No good trying to shout.
27:50Yeah, well, thank you, Mr Penketh.
27:53Well, don't thank me.
27:54I'm so grieved it had to happen.
27:57Her class.
27:58They're bowled over, really.
28:00Children could be pretty callous, but this has left them...
28:03Yeah, all right.
28:04Thanks.
28:09Come in.
28:13Come in.
28:14VINCEN
28:28Listen, darling.
28:29I won't be able to make it.
28:30Yeah, I know what I said.
28:35Well, something's come up.
28:37Yeah, well, I'll make it up to you.
28:40My old guy will still be there. Don't worry about that.
28:43When you're finished, Jack?
28:45Uncle Frank would like a word.
28:50Hello?
28:53Her name's Susie.
28:55Well, who is she?
28:57My daughter.
28:58I was just explaining why I can't take her to the zoo.
29:01I'm sorry.
29:03Hold on a sec, love.
29:05Division have found the car that killed Mrs Carter.
29:07And?
29:08It was stolen that afternoon, which might explain why it didn't stop.
29:12It might.
29:13A pro job.
29:15Keys, no prints.
29:16Yeah, I'll be with you in a minute.
29:21Susie.
29:23Well, all right, one verse, but make it quick.
29:29That's crazy.
29:30Didn't you say that, Peppa!
29:33I don't mind that.
29:34I won't see any Campbell.
29:36I'm just going for a couple of months here.
29:39But I don't even see what Nic's saying.
29:40You pick the Dinge to drink with snowman looking for a flower place.
29:44I don't want that SAS, but I'll throw them in Honey 것.
29:48That pretty much across the plant, you will not.
29:50Jack.
30:12Mrs. C.
30:13Too rich for your blood.
30:16And then some.
30:18Church has me foxed.
30:21Always rucking you for not going.
30:22Then when you do go, all they do is tell you how corrupt,
30:25how sinful, how unworthy you are.
30:27I know you didn't like Alison much.
30:29Who said?
30:30I've got eyes.
30:31Yeah, very old ones.
30:33Well, they don't miss much.
30:34You'd be surprised.
30:37How good cops' wives are hard to find.
30:39I should know.
30:42George listens to you, Jack.
30:44He's got to. I'm his governor.
30:45No, I didn't mean that.
30:46You see if you can get him to come home.
30:49Even if it's only for a few days.
30:51He's 26, you know, Mum, not six.
30:54So?
30:54I want more mileage out of him yet.
30:57You'll get it.
30:58When I've put the patches on.
31:01I'll talk to him.
31:02Cheers.
31:14Cheers.
31:20Think about it.
31:20An extra wedge of Yorkshire.
31:23That's my mum's answer to everything.
31:25It's better than rattling around here on you, Todd.
31:28Yeah, well, I'll suss it out.
31:31What are you going to do with that lot?
31:33I've got a card through the door.
31:35You know, second-hand jewellery, clothes, things like that.
31:37Handy?
31:38Yeah.
31:41I'll get the addresses out of the obituary columns.
31:45Jackals.
31:55Yeah, well, at least we're doing something with our lives.
31:57Who said that?
32:00I did.
32:01The last of our many rows.
32:13Gone.
32:15Any address?
32:16Landlady's out of bingo.
32:17And she's elbowed the school, right?
32:22Well, it means one thing.
32:23She's twigged.
32:24She would.
32:25I told you.
32:25She's bright.
32:27So you've got to find her before she starts rabbiting.
32:29What if I don't...
32:30You don't.
32:30I'll put you in the ground.
32:37Lats?
32:38Hiya.
32:40Who'd I talk to?
32:41George Carter?
32:42No, one of the other lats.
32:43Carter's off for a week.
32:44Ah, was his wife, then?
32:46Yep.
32:47Tough.
32:48Very.
32:49Says she was only 29.
32:50About that, yeah.
32:52Phew.
32:53Terrible.
32:54Well, a maximum fine hundred quid for failing to stop.
32:57What do you expect?
32:59Anyway, you didn't call me to chat about hitting runs, did you?
33:02I want to ask a favour, Jack.
33:05I work for the Sweeney, you know, not Dr. Barnardo's.
33:08There's something in it for you.
33:09Ah.
33:11Mickey Parisi, you know him?
33:12By repute, no.
33:14Hey, you've been muscling him around Notting Hill, Bayswater.
33:17Striped the girl last week.
33:18A tom?
33:19Young Irish kid.
33:22She doesn't increase her own impotential, does it?
33:25Shove your head in a bag.
33:26That was his advice.
33:28What's the kid's name?
33:29Deirdre Quinn.
33:31Will she talk?
33:32Be your age.
33:35All right, leave it with me.
33:38Next item.
33:38Our Sunbury friend.
33:41He's an active little number, isn't he?
33:45Islington next week.
33:47When?
33:48Dunno.
33:49Got an antique shop, I don't know which.
33:50Come on, Fletch.
33:51Gets vaguer by the minute.
33:53Well, it carries a quarter of a million stocks, so it must be in the sponcy part.
33:57Okay, what's the story?
33:59The owner, the elderly man, takes his dog for a pre-bed walker's every night.
34:03When?
34:04After news at ten.
34:05That's when they're going in with his key.
34:07He lives over the shop.
34:08Alone?
34:09With his niece.
34:11How do you hear all this?
34:13It's my business.
34:15Any chance at the reward money?
34:17You're eager.
34:18Most of bloody school fees.
34:21You hear from Nobby?
34:22A couple of months ago, down in Welsh Wales,
34:25bought a van load of tin carrots, changed the labels to Australian pears.
34:31Go lovely with a drop of cream, boy.
34:32Ha ha ha!
34:52My secret is out.
34:56I'm sorry, Mr. Penker.
34:58Look, um...
35:00Do you recognize this at all?
35:01Yes.
35:06Belongs to Miss Grinden, our French teacher.
35:08Oh.
35:09Well, good.
35:09I've, uh...
35:10I've had it cleaned.
35:11Could you see that she gets it, please?
35:12I'm sorry, I can't.
35:14Why is that?
35:15She's disappeared.
35:17Disappeared?
35:19Not a note.
35:20Not a phone call.
35:21Nothing.
35:22She was due to go to France in a fortnight.
35:25France?
35:254A and 4B.
35:29Cultural exchange to Paris.
35:30Now I don't know what I'm going to do.
35:32She didn't say anything to you?
35:33No.
35:35Bolt out of the blue.
35:37Was she worried about anything?
35:39No.
35:40Well, if she was, she never mentioned it.
35:44Not unless...
35:45Yeah, go on.
35:46Well, when I went round to tell her about...
35:48about Mrs. Carter...
35:49I thought she seemed frightened.
35:52She didn't say what of?
35:54No.
35:56Has she tried to get out of making this trip?
35:58No, why should she?
36:00She's been doing it three or four years.
36:02How often?
36:03Well, never less than twice a year, sometimes three times.
36:06And always France?
36:08Always France.
36:08France?
36:19Don't tell me how hard you work.
36:25Tell me how much you get done.
36:28Well, write to your MP.
36:29In the meantime, get it on my desk by lunchtime.
36:33Hello, Judge.
36:34Hello, Gov.
36:36Have you got a minute?
36:37Yes, I do.
36:41Barney Goodsall was Nick last night.
36:44Where?
36:45Coventry.
36:46What was he doing there?
36:48He said, and I quote,
36:49he went to see Lady Godiva.
36:54Er, listen, Gov, I think I've stumbled on something.
36:57As the actress said.
36:59You remember when you came round the other night?
37:02I said to you,
37:02why didn't the driver stop, right?
37:04Yeah, I remember.
37:05I think I've come up with an answer.
37:07Oh?
37:08How does murder grab you?
37:11You think Alison was murdered?
37:13Yeah.
37:14You putty.
37:16No, no, but they didn't mean to kill her.
37:18They meant to kill somebody else.
37:20I see.
37:21Any idea who?
37:22The French teacher.
37:23What?
37:25Well, we'll get to that later.
37:27Look, this teacher has just disappeared.
37:30Like, no warning, nothing.
37:31She's just dropped out overnight.
37:33Over the night of Alison's accident.
37:35Go on.
37:35Well, this bird owns a coat.
37:37Don't we all?
37:39Yeah, but it's a dark green duffel coat.
37:40It's distinctive.
37:41And for some reason, Alison was wearing it when...
37:44So you think someone was after Miss France and Alison copped it?
37:49That's about the size of it, yeah.
37:51Is that all?
37:52Well, not quite.
37:53Alison once told me about a friend of hers who was involved with the tearaway.
37:56You know, what should she do, et cetera.
37:58And what did you say?
37:59I said, go down the local nick and have a chat to somebody.
38:01You know, flutter her eyelashes and confess.
38:03And did she?
38:04Never heard.
38:07The local French teacher.
38:10She was off to France in a couple of weeks.
38:12What for?
38:13One of those culture exchange jobs.
38:15She went two or three times a year.
38:18No, you're ringing bells, George.
38:21Yeah, I can think of one or two faces who'd like access to someone who makes regular channel crossings.
38:26England or France or...
38:28Well, either.
38:29Well, imagine it.
38:30Hundreds of sticky-fingered little kids rushing through customs,
38:32partly viewing like crazy.
38:34That's not a bad cover, is it?
38:35Not bad at all.
38:37Yeah, little Willie carries the sandwiches.
38:39Inside the sandwiches are the, uh, whatever it is.
38:42Anything from heroin to diamonds.
38:44Well, it's got to be important to be worth killing for.
38:47First murder case I worked on was over an ace of clubs.
38:50Anyone Carter with you?
39:07Of course.
39:08I'm sure she'll have found one start from now.
39:10What's that?
39:11Well, why not?
39:12I'm not happy about Carter being in on it.
39:14Well, don't you think he's earned it, Cap?
39:16If you show me a vengeful copper, I'll show you a duff one.
39:18Well, he knows that.
39:19Well, he's the sort.
39:20I've seen him before.
39:21What sort?
39:22Quiet ones.
39:23When they blow, watch it.
39:24They mean it.
39:25They start tearing up trees.
39:26Yeah, well, I'll sit on him.
39:27I know, and a court full of war victims.
39:29None of that resists you.
39:29I'll read you.
39:31Look, Jack, it's justice.
39:33Not revenge.
39:34It's a woman's life.
39:36A copper's wife, you know.
39:37It's not some crafty dip into the penny cash.
39:40No punch-ups.
39:42That's not a suggestion.
39:43Not a request.
39:45It's an order.
40:00Hello, Mrs Davies.
40:02Hello, dear.
40:09Had to happen, didn't it?
40:19What?
40:20It's these long engagements.
40:24I didn't know you was engaged.
40:26Had my ring on a chain round her neck.
40:29Couldn't wait to leave.
40:30Knew I was going up north on business.
40:32When'd she go?
40:33Wednesday?
40:34First thing.
40:35That's it.
40:36I was just going up the M1.
40:37Didn't leave no address.
40:39She'll write or call.
40:41I'm not worried about that.
40:42I just don't like to think of her being lonely.
40:44Can't help.
40:46Sorry.
40:48How did she leave?
40:50Minicab.
40:51Usual one.
40:54Wrecking cell.
40:59Brighten up your weekend, Mrs D.
41:01Oh, thanks.
41:04And this is her old address.
41:06I went round as soon as she didn't come to school.
41:08Gone?
41:09Bag and baggage.
41:11You've no other address for her on your records.
41:13You know, parents, next of kin.
41:14Your best bet's the local education authority.
41:17All right, Mr Panketh.
41:18We'll call you if we think of anything else.
41:21You're welcome.
41:22Sorry I couldn't help more.

41:28You know, it's her.

44:58She was.
44:59A good friend.
45:00People like you make me puke.
45:02You're not worth helping.
45:04That kid was murdered.
45:05You knew that.
45:06You!
45:09Croft's second-hand motors.
45:11Off the Fulham Road.

45:13Was Croft driving?
45:15No.
45:16Who was?
45:17It's too late for that, darling.
