00:00Well, it's marvellous what you can do in two years if you've got the nerve and the ruthlessness and luck.
00:07Oh, no, I don't think it had anything to do with luck, did it, Dennis?
00:10No, not luck, more to do with hard work, wasn't it?
00:13Oh, there was quite a bit of that.
00:15Yes, mostly my hard work, wouldn't you say?
00:17Now, look, Tony...
00:17Now you look, Dennis!
00:18Keep your voice down.
00:20Am I embarrassing you in front of these good people?
00:23Come into my office.
00:24Oh, I see.
00:25You don't want your innocent slaves to know who it was who was responsible for the system that pays the mortgage.
00:32Well, let me enlighten your darkness.
00:36I'm Tony Gray, and I'm responsible for the modal system.
00:39They're all my little buttons you're playing.
00:40Oh, no, no, no, save your applause for the leader, the talentless Mr Longfield.
00:45I want to talk to you, Tony.
00:46Yes, I thought you might.
00:51Oh, by the way, don't stop working.
00:53It, uh, upsets.
00:55Oh, princess me.
00:59Hello, junior.
01:00You again?
01:02Listen, Tony, I can get you a job with Peter Gilbert.
01:05Oh, no, stuff, Peter Gilbert.
01:06I want my own job.
01:07Things have changed.
01:09Well, then, change them back.
01:11Look, I built this business.
01:13My knowledge, my ideas, my energy.
01:16You bled me dry.
01:18Make a simple financial deal with a bank, and you get the whole lot.
01:21Well, I'm back, and I want my share.
01:22Nothing's changed.
01:23Yes, it has.
01:25You've been in prison.
01:26Been in prison?
01:27What's that got to do with computers?
01:28A lot.
01:29We handle top security work now.
01:32No client's going to have confidence in an organization that employs ex-convicts.
01:37We handle bullion transfers, diamond shipments, currency in bulk.
01:41It's impossible.
01:41Ex-convicts?
01:43I killed a woman in a motor accident.
01:46Doesn't matter.
01:47You went to prison for two years for manslaughter.
01:49I couldn't have you working here.
01:51You've got a record.
01:53Yes, I know whose fault's that.
01:54I was working 18 hours a day, sleeping in the office, drinking too much, having a nervous
01:59breakdown because you set impossible deadlines.
02:01When I killed that woman, I was so exhausted I didn't even see her.
02:04I hadn't slept for three nights.
02:06But you insisted that I went to Manchester.
02:09The whole business depends on it, remember?
02:12Well, I paid.
02:13Now it's your turn.
02:14I want my partnership back.
02:16I bought you out two years ago.
02:18For 4,000 quid when I was in trouble and needed the money.
02:21It was more than you put in.
02:22I put three years of my bloody life into this business and I'll smash it.
02:27And you before I've finished.
02:31Now, what's more, I think your taste is appalling.
02:35Any...
02:35Ah.
02:37I think your Lord and Master need something of a wash and brush up.
02:42I guess get out of this place.
02:48Longfield!
03:06Longfield!
03:14Longfield!
03:14I'll get you!
03:17I'll get my job back!
03:20Longfield!
03:23Longfield!
03:23Call the police.
03:24Longfield!
03:44Starting price, $11 to $8.
04:09$11 to $8?
04:11Never mind, Bill.
04:12Even Emerson Fittipaldi makes mistakes.
04:15I think I've lost the use of me legs.
04:17Never mind.
04:18You'll get a disability pension.
04:19How long have we got to wait here?
04:21Every day till Askins realises there's nothing in it.
04:24Shall we buy a tent?
04:25Ah, seriously, Gav.
04:26Look, everybody knows this guy Burnham's gone straight, right?
04:30I mean, he's into credit transfers, that sort of stuff.
04:32He hasn't put a foot over the line for years.
04:34That's not the attitude, George.
04:36You're behind the times.
04:38Our Burnie's what we now call a target criminal.
04:40Mr Askins wants us to keep ahead of the game.
04:43So if we sit here patiently, sooner or later,
04:46someone with a naughty mind's going to come along
04:48and pay him a visit.
04:49When that happens...
04:49We'll be too old to get out of the car.
04:51Exactly.
04:54Hey, George.
04:56Hmm?
04:56Who's that?
05:01He's not in the file.
05:02No?
05:03Smudge him when he comes out.
05:05Oh, you're all right.
05:07Ah, Mr Gray.
05:09I'm sorry we couldn't get together earlier,
05:11but things have been rather busy.
05:13Miss Newton.
05:15I've been asking to see you for two weeks.
05:20Yes.
05:21You've been away for a while, haven't you?
05:24But your real interest is in computers.
05:26What would you like to discuss?
05:29Computers.
05:29I designed these layouts.
05:34One entire system for time-sharing subscribers.
05:38It's one of the best of its kind.
05:41We have no real need of a computer, Mr Gray.
05:44But you may be interested to know who uses the computer, Mr Burnham.
05:47Longfield has some very important clients.
05:50Security firms, gold dealers, currency printers.
05:52You see, once the information is fed into the computer,
05:55then it is 100% secret.
05:58And no unauthorized person can get at it.
06:01Yes, I'm sure that is of great importance to such clients.
06:05Now, why have you come to see me?
06:07Because the information stored in the computer may interest you.
06:13But you said it was impossible to get.
06:15I said that no unauthorized person could get at it.
06:17How could you get at the computer now that you've been fired?
06:20Well, there is one way.
06:22I built the computer, don't forget.
06:24What could you ask your computer, Mr Gray?
06:27The date and the secret route of a shipment of gold from a dealer in the city.
06:31Would that interest you, Mr Burnham?
06:33Well, that would depend on the accuracy of the information and the risks involved.
06:38I don't know anyone who would put up the money without proof that it would work.
06:42Proof? You shall have, Mr Burnham.
06:44I don't like unpleasantness in any form.
06:46And certainly when it involves someone I work with.
06:48Of course, sir.
06:48The man's so unpredictable.
06:51One never knows, you see.
06:53I've given orders he's not to be allowed in the building.
06:55And you don't want to prefer charges against him for what happened this morning?
06:57Well, as I say, I don't want to be, well, unpleasant.
07:01I think he needs help more than punishment.
07:03He saw Burnham, all right?
07:13How do you know that?
07:14I was nice to the tea lady.
07:16You naughty old policeman.
07:18She was a naughty old tea lady.
07:19George's pictures are getting good, aren't they?
07:24Yeah, do you think you could put the word in for me, cub?
07:26You know, get the concession for the squad dance.
07:28There's only way you'll ever nick him.
07:30Burnham's too smart.
07:32He doesn't need to take risks anymore.
07:34He's quite the little tycoon now, Bernie.
07:35He'll make the mistakes sooner or later.
07:37They always do.
07:38Come on, Jack.
07:38Be your age.
07:39You've seen him walk out of number one court of the old Bailey twice already.
07:41Only because Serious Crime Squad couldn't make it stick.
07:44Well, neither will you.
07:45Your way.
07:46Expect to find him waiting in a bank one sunny morning,
07:48cradling a shotgun, wearing a stocking mask and a big smile.
07:51Attention to detail.
07:52Every last detail is the only way.
07:55Is this the only new face?
07:56The only one we don't know.
07:57Who's on now?
07:58Jono, till 12.
08:00Right, we'll get the hell of it off to C-11,
08:01C-R-O and Slater's reports.
08:02The lot, right?
08:03Aye, sir.
08:04Straight away.
08:05Crawler.
08:11Hi, Joe.
08:19Worksheets.
08:24Carolyn.
08:27Motorcars.
08:28That's the last thing I would have thought you'd want to be involved in.
08:32How are you?
08:35You're looking great.
08:38Dennis Longfield.
08:39Yes, I know.
08:39He told me.
08:40Longfield paid a fortune out of his own pocket to have your face done.
08:43Tony, I look dreadful.
08:45Yes, I know that too.
08:46Steve told me.
08:49Why didn't you let me come to the hospital?
08:51I was out on bail for a week after the accident,
08:53but you wouldn't let me see you.
08:55I didn't want you to see me like that.
08:58You never answered my letters.
09:04You never visited me.
09:06It wasn't fun in that place.
09:08It wasn't fun for me either.
09:09Oh, baby, you wouldn't even let me say that I was sorry.
09:13That woman's son came to see me.
09:15Do you know that?
09:16Told me that he'd stopped hating me.
09:18I told him that I was sorry.
09:20I told him it was my fault that his mother was dead.
09:23He even talked about what she was like.
09:25But you...
09:26Oh, for tell me, do I really look the same?
09:30Last year I looked hideous before Dennis found that surgeon.
09:33Good night, Caroline.
09:34Oh, good night, Bill.
09:34There's no difference.
09:37You're beautiful.
09:38Look up, man.
09:40That horse went down, George.
09:42Yeah, it serves you right for listening to other people's phone conversations.
09:44The headmaster's been looking for you.
09:46Oh, yeah.
09:46And Mr. Mistry.
09:48Oh, sorry, Guy.
09:49All right.
09:50Mr. Mistry.
09:51Gray.
09:51Anthony John.
09:52What, villain?
09:53No, not really.
09:53Just got a predilection for running down old ladies on zebra crosses.
09:56Mindslaught, eh?
09:58Oh, a computer man.
10:00Oh, Bernie really is organising his crime.
10:03Well, I'd better go and get my bottom smacked.
10:05It hurts him more than it hurts you.
10:07Oh, shut up.
10:10Tom.
10:13Ah, Jack.
10:15I wanted you earlier rather urgently as it happened.
10:18Yeah.
10:18Yeah, Gav, I, er, I was, er, you know, hmm.
10:23Look, Jack, we've got a lead on this man of yours.
10:25His name is Gray.
10:26Yeah, I saw the CRO docket.
10:28Yeah, he was a computer man and went down for mindslaughter.
10:31He's only a jack artist, isn't he?
10:32Yes, well, we've got some more.
10:33The collater's report from the Nick at Millerton.
10:37They received a complaint about Gray from his former business partner,
10:41Dennis Longfield of Data Task Computers.
10:45Evidently, Gray created a disturbance there this morning.
10:48Threw a whiskey bottle.
10:50Ruined a rubber plant.
10:52Oh, dear, oh, dear.
10:54Some people.
10:57Well, it hardly makes him public enemy number one, though, Gav, does it?
11:00It depends on what he's up to with Burnham.
11:02Well, do you want me to talk to him?
11:04No.
11:06Build up a profile, there.
11:07Check out Longfield.
11:08Find out where Gray's living.
11:10See if he's found a job yet.
11:11You know the sort of thing.
11:12How is she?
11:12You OK, Tommy?
11:13All about the same.
11:14A bit better, I think.
11:16A little present for you, 500 pounds.
11:18You know, Tony, you don't have to.
11:20And another thousand to follow.
11:22Listen, Steve, you were the only one of my so-called friends that came to visit me when I was in that prison.
11:26I would have gone mad without you.
11:29Just put it towards that farm in Ireland you're always talking about.
11:32Should I tell Kate?
11:35No.
11:36No, when the grand arrives, just pack up and go.
11:38What about the other business?
11:39Well, I'll do exactly as we said.
11:41Wear the dark suit, all right?
11:42He and I were partners.
11:44I handled the business side.
11:45He's a technical man.
11:47We built up the company together.
11:50But he drank a lot.
11:53Lost his license.
11:54Went on driving.
11:56One night he killed someone.
11:57Injured my secretary and went to prison.
11:59Well, as I told the uniformed man, he ranted and raved.
12:03Threw an ashtray at me.
12:04Broke things up in reception.
12:06He's very dangerous when he's drunk.
12:08I think he needs help.
12:09He feels he's got a grudge, then.
12:10Heaven knows why.
12:11I gave him his first big opportunity.
12:14Without me, he'd have been nothing.
12:15Not much now, is he?
12:24I didn't want to talk in there.
12:25It's a bit delicate.
12:26Oh?
12:27Yes, I'm a police officer.
12:29Sergeant Carter.
12:31It's about a Mr. Gray.
12:32Anthony John Gray.
12:33We understand you're a friend of his.
12:35Well, yes, I know him.
12:36But what does that have to do with the police?
12:38Well, it's the accident.
12:39You know, the statement you made at the trial.
12:41I think that was two years ago.
12:43He's out of prison now.
12:44Yeah.
12:45But from our records, we understand you were once a close friend.
12:49Listen.
12:50Tony's a good man.
12:51He's had a very bad time.
12:53He's out of prison now.
12:55But he can't get his old job back, so he's going to start afresh.
13:00If you persecute him, you'll destroy what little confidence he has left.
13:03We're not persecuting him, Miss Stewart.
13:05Why all this, then?
13:07He's starting afresh, you say?
13:09Well, all I know is that he's starting his own business.
13:12Computers?
13:13I suppose so.
13:13That's what he's good at.
13:15Well, I think somebody's agreed to back him.
13:17What the girl told George is true.
13:20And Gray's sugar daddy is Burnham.
13:24He's registered a company called Band Automation.
13:27Computer specialist, apparently.
13:28Ding-a-ling-a-ling.
13:29Exactly.
13:30I've ordered up all their publicity material, etc.
13:33We're on to something here, Jack.
13:36Promise?
13:37So I told him to leave you alone, and he went.
13:41Baby, once you're known to them, then they never leave you alone.
13:45It's not just me.
13:46It's happening all the time.
13:48Guy comes out, he can't get a job.
13:50Hounded by those gorillas every day and night.
13:53Eventually he thinks we're...
13:54Oh, what the hell, so he goes back to crime.
13:57Keeps the police in work.
13:59At least it's their job.
14:00What's Dennis Longfield's excuse?
14:02What was yours?
14:07I haven't got one.
14:09I resented you for the accident, but that soon went.
14:12I wanted to come and see you, but for some reason I just couldn't.
14:15So that was part of Longfield's bargain.
14:17He'd pay for your plastic surgeon so long as you dropped me.
14:20I wouldn't have agreed to that.
14:22That's probably why he didn't say so in so many words.
14:26But that's what he meant, isn't it?
14:29He really does loathes me.
14:34He's jealous of you.
14:37Younger, cleverer.
14:38You frighten him.
14:39You always did.
14:41Do I frighten you?
14:44No.
14:47Look.
14:47When I told you that I was going to start again, I meant everything.
14:52Everything from scratch.
14:55Can I start again with you?
14:56What would you say if I told you that I was going to start again better than before?
15:06What would you say if I asked you to come to Brazil with me?
15:10Like next week?
15:11It says here the cursor will guide the operator.
15:16What's a cursor?
15:17Someone we nicked for obscene language.
15:21Sorry.
15:22So you bloody well should be.
15:23You're neat.
15:25You get worse and worse, you two.
15:27You know, it's funny.
15:27How's it going, Jack?
15:28Oh, it's hard, good.
15:31Yes, I think you're going to need technical help on this one.
15:33Oh, we will, yeah.
15:35Eh?
15:35Yes, Captain?
15:37What's the matter with you two?
15:38Nothing.
15:39I'm just saying we will need some help on the technical side.
15:41Jack, I'm in no mood for a wind-up.
15:43It's not a wind-up.
15:44We're agreeing with you.
15:45We can't be one-man bands anymore.
15:47You're always saying that to me, yes, Captain.
15:48So, we bought a new player.
15:51Jenny.
15:53Could you come over there?
15:55Dr Smart, this is Detective Chief Inspector Haskins.
15:59Jennifer Smart.
16:00How do you do, Mr Haskins?
16:01Dr Smart works for the Home Office, Guff.
16:03We found her lurking around the police national computer at Hendon.
16:06She's interested in our current problem.
16:08My boss says I can spend a day or two with you.
16:10Yeah, it's just a matter of you sorting out the paperwork, Guff.
16:30What's your game, then?
16:32What's your game, then?
16:46What's your game, then?
16:50What's your game, then?
16:54What's your game, then?
16:59the facilities in this hotel are excellent but far from cheap
17:27i hope you're going to prove worthy of the the trust i'm placing in you mr gray
17:33you mean i haven't yet you haven't done anything yet mr gray
17:36why can't you arrest him on what charge i don't know public menace threatening behavior but he
17:47hasn't threatened you though has he he's harassing me he killed someone once you know in a car accident
17:52look apart from what you've told us there's no evidence against him what do you mean apart
17:56from what i've told you well you say you saw him running i don't say i saw him i saw him
18:02mr longfield well up to now whiskey bottles been smashed you say you've been insulted and you've
18:09found an alarm clock in your car now the local police force deal with that sort of thing i'm
18:13more concerned with any possibility of a major crime what sort of major crime well you say you
18:18handle a lot of secret information for clients now is there anything in particular that a rival
18:22organization same i'd like to get its hands on industrial espionage not a chance that's the
18:28whole point of our system large amounts of information are processed and stored here precisely
18:33because with us they're completely safe the system's foolproof who designed the system mr longfield
18:39it's our own system did anthony gray design it he did work on it that was two years ago
18:44our codings and classifications have changed many times since his day so you've got no worries about
18:49fraud or theft of information anything like that no inspector and i wouldn't like the slightest
18:54suggestion of that sort of thing to be made in police quarters or anywhere else in my business
18:59confidence is everything just the same mr longfield you'd have no objection if we brought in our own
19:05computer expert just to satisfy ourselves that we're doing our job properly we like people that
19:10have confidence in us too you know there we are mr gray mr winter will coordinate the operation for
19:17you taking care of the uh the ancillary areas right yes well it's time for me to go anything you need
19:25i'll be glad to help hmm thank you mr burnett oh don't thank me yet mr gray
19:30good morning and welcome to the course my name is tony gray and i shall be concerned with the
19:52training of those of you who are programmers tomorrow we shall be joined by those whose job
19:56it will be to form your backup team and of course we still have many more applicants to interview who
20:01may join us in the next few days but longfield's sure it was great positive if it wasn't him it was
20:06his ghost longfield's terrified doppelganger what never mind i'll look it up where's the
20:14poor trend firecracker you mean our jenny she's at longfields longfields yeah she's trying to find out
20:20if there's a connection between burnham and that trouble at longfields that's a more obvious
20:24connection what this that a career in computers are you worth 5 000 per annum if you have above
20:31average intelligence or under 35 with an interest in automation and computers contact 230 9992
20:38it's a number that burnham's taken at the heathrow hotel i think dr smart should enroll there
20:45and you should move into the hotel for a day or two on hand but undercover in case you're
20:50plucked by any of burnham's known heavies well we've got tonight separate rooms
20:55mr boynton can you get me please mr boynton can you get me please mr boynton can you get me
21:01hi miss stewart i do have a reservation okay oh everything is going extremely well
21:10the course is virtually full good now what about the serious business
21:16right as i told you longfield has a contract with maynards the gold people
21:23and we know that maynards mint married to raise dollars for some of the richest oil estates in
21:27the gulf now you tell me that they're about to export a huge quantity tomorrow morning
21:32my computer's job at longfield is to work out the safest and quickest route for shipment
21:39using a road information and weather reports and so on but the computer only decides the route
21:45a few minutes before shipment so that nobody can possibly know the route in advance
21:50except the computer and me
21:53what would you need i would need a very powerful radio transmitter
22:02and a man who served in the uh royal marines
22:06what to break into longfield's computer room
22:11no to get onto the roof i'm going to plug the radio transmitter into the computer
22:16oh well you see when we installed the system we had to take the gpo lines up through the
22:21computer suite ceiling and out via the roof so we send the gold into a trap we've carefully
22:25prepared correct and we'll be the only people apart from maynards who will ever know the phony
22:30route here's a list of what i'll need it's very simple you'll have it tomorrow
22:35excuse me
22:40oh no darlings super
22:47i would yeah you would
22:57how'd you get on
22:58sweet felicity i'll cry
23:00nothing six of the lads been out all day not even a whisper
23:03and what about c11 you've got to be joking
23:06they're thinking of nominating bernie for the businessmen of the year award
23:10clean as a proverbial
23:11no issues
23:15hello georgie
23:17jack
23:17good day johnny
23:20interesting
23:22oh longfield doesn't give much away
23:24i had to work most of it out for myself
23:26what exactly does data tasks do
23:30well they perform tasks for business concerns
23:33you mean payrolls that sort of thing
23:35hmm that's right payrolls
23:36stock checks market analysis
23:38most businesses can't afford their own computers
23:40so they rent time from a computer company when they need it
23:43just like they coin up laundry
23:44well that's not all they do
23:46they've got heavy contracts with merchant banks for instance
23:55something to do with the transfer of money i think
23:57but of course i couldn't get access to any of that
23:59how much would grey know about all this
24:01about the computer
24:02oh everything
24:03no about the companies who use it
24:05and these codes
24:06nothing the machine changes its codes all the time
24:09that's what longfield said
24:10unless grey built some secret codes of his own into the system when he set it up
24:14and they were still maintained in the computer's memory
24:16if he had done that would he be able to get any real secrets
24:19well it's possible but i wouldn't think so for one minute
24:22that's that then
24:23the thing is foolproof
24:24well that's about it i'm afraid
24:25uh how are you fixed for tonight

26:25LAUGHTER
26:32Minister Casey, to a telephone, please.
26:34Watch grey.
26:35Minister Casey, to a telephone.
26:55Hello, Casey here.
26:59Hello, Jim.
27:02What?
27:05Nah, it couldn't be him.
27:09When?
27:11But I've just seen him.
27:14He's only a few yards away from where I am now.
27:21OK, we'll tell Longfield we'll come straight over.
27:26What do you mean, is everything all right?
27:29Tony, I've just seen that detective who called on me yesterday.
27:33He's over there now.
27:36Miss Phillips, to a telephone, please.
27:39Miss Phillips, to a telephone.
27:49Miss Phillips?
27:51Hello.
27:52Hello, Jen.
27:53Listen, Longfield's in trouble again.
27:56Says he's seen Grey five minutes ago.
27:58Have you any idea what Grey's plans are for tonight?
28:01Well, there's a girl with him.
28:02She arrived this afternoon.
28:04Yeah, well, if it's the girl George when I see her,
28:06I'd better get him out of the way before he's spotted.
28:08I think she's staying the night. They've booked a Swede.
28:10Yeah?
28:12Well, they'll stay put now she's here.
28:14Listen, could you keep an eye on him?
28:16And if he leaves the hotel, or the girl does, ring me at Longfield's.
28:18Is that all right?
28:20Yeah, all right.
28:21Good girl.
28:25Hello.
28:27Yes, it's Grey.
28:29Listen, the police are here.
28:31Oh, don't worry, I will.
28:36Stop worrying.
28:37Okay.
28:40Listen, I'm leaving now.
28:43Uh, is all the gear there?
28:46Uh-huh. And I can trust the guy.
28:49Okay, yes.
28:51About half an hour.
28:53Look, I've got to go now.
28:55Just stay here and don't move out of the room.
28:58I'll be back before you know it.
29:00Tony, what is going on?
29:02I'll tell you all about it on the plane tomorrow.
29:05Oh, and don't answer the phone.
29:09Love you.
29:17Well, certainly I can talk to him, but I saw him myself.
29:20So did Sergeant Carter.
29:21Whoever it was you thought you saw, it definitely was not Grey.
29:25Look here, Inspector, I think this has gone on long enough.
29:27Yeah, so do I, Mr Longfield.
29:28I think it's time we had a serious talk.
29:31Now, if someone's harassing you, there's got to be a reason.
29:34Let's start with security.
29:58Let's start with security.
29:59Okay, thank you.
30:00Let's start with security.
30:03That's the company.
30:05The company has failed.
30:07I think it's a big deal.
30:09I think you've got to be a big deal.
30:10I think we've got a big deal on it.
30:12I think we've got to be a big deal on it.
30:14And the company has to be a big deal.
30:16But there's no good deal.
30:17Let's try it.
30:19Let's take it.
30:21Let's try it.
30:22It's just a thought, Mr Longfield, and I don't want you to take this the wrong way.
30:51But has anyone got a grudge against you apart from Gro?
30:55No.
31:21Well, what about business rivals?
31:48No, Mr Longfield, I don't think you're lying, but it doesn't make sense, does it?
32:10If I'm watching grey and he's behaving himself, then the only way I can solve the mystery is to have you watch too.
32:16If you did, you'd find I'm telling the truth.
32:17All right, I'll arrange it.
32:18Green and red banding going to wait.
32:45Green and red banding going to wait.
32:57All right.
32:59That's it.
33:03Now give me a minute to get clear.
33:06And don't forget the rope.
33:08Inspector, you'll appreciate all this is a bit of a strain.
33:22I'll have security show you out.
33:24Hey!
33:38What are you doing down there?
33:40Come on, who are you?
33:42Who are you?
33:43Who are you?
33:45Who are you?
33:45When was this?
34:05Well, sound the alarm, man.
34:07Hello?
34:10Green?
34:11Is that you, Green?
34:13Hello?
34:16Governor?
34:20Oh, God, no.
34:22Give me your word.
34:24George, get an ambulance, get one of the local boys, and when you've sorted it out, meet me at that hotel.
34:28Now, let's go.
34:53Police.
34:54Where's Gray?
34:55He's in bed.
34:57Is he now?
34:57This way.
35:08Wait a minute. Who are you?
35:11Flying squad. You look hot, Mr. Gray.
35:12You having a bad dream?
35:16We don't all go to bed just to sleep.
35:18You're Mr...
35:19Detective Inspector Regan.
35:21What do you want?
35:23How long has he been here?
35:27How long?
35:31All evening.
35:32That's straight, all evening.
35:34So would you leave us alone, otherwise I'll make a complaint.
35:40Sorry, you've been troubled.
35:50Tony, for God's sake, tell me what the hell is going on!
35:59Sit down.
36:05So what about your computer course, then?
36:07I'd say it was completely legit.
36:09Gray knows his stuff and teaches very well.
36:13It's got to be a cover, then.
36:15There's something going on at Longfields and it's starting to turn ugly.
36:18Listen, if Burnham and Gray were trying to pull some computer stroke, what could they be after?
36:25Blackmail.
36:27What, you know?
36:28Bad debts, bank accounts, personal records?
36:30This is all science fiction to me.
36:32You mean villains and computers don't mix?
36:35Something like that, yeah.
36:36Well, they do, you know.
36:37One computer programmer in the States systematically rounded off all the share values of a stock-broking firm to the nearest full percentage point.
36:45All the little bits were transferred by the computer to his own personal bank account.
36:50Took a long time.
36:51How much did he make?
36:52Half percent of 400 million.
36:54Two million dollars.
36:56Did they nick him?
36:57No, they couldn't prove it.
36:59When the company began to suspect what he was doing, they asked the computer to deliver a statement of his personal account.
37:06And?
37:06Well, as soon as they typed in his account number, the computer went berserk.
37:10Every memory bank, disk and tape was completely wiped clean.
37:14It's what he told the computer to do, you see.
37:20Governor?
37:21Hi, George.
37:22Local boys are searching the area.
37:23The security man is concussed, but they don't think it's going to be too bad.
37:26They'll let us know when he comes round.
37:27Well, I told them, yeah.
37:28Whoever it is, though, didn't get very far.
37:30What do you mean?
37:31Well, I know it's hard to tell in the dark, but there's no sign of a break-in.
37:34They're still looking.
37:37They'll ring if they find anything.
37:38Yeah, that's if they were trying to break in.
37:40What else would they be doing?
37:41I don't know.
37:42We'll go back there first thing in the morning.
37:45How'd you get on, love?
37:46Well, it's been a long day, George.
37:48Time you were in bed.
37:49You were going to be up at seven.
37:52Aren't you?
37:53Yeah, why?
37:55Oh, no, I mean, it's just that, well, we've got men on duty outside of Burnham's room.
37:59We've got men on duty outside of Grey's room.
38:02There's no need for you to stay up, either, is there?
38:04You know, that's all I meant.
38:06Yeah, yeah.
38:07Well, thanks a lot, George.
38:08Thanks very much.
38:10Good night.
38:11You don't fancy...
38:21And keep out of Caroline Stewart's way.
38:25Oh, well, yes, yeah.
38:26Good night, Jenny.
38:27Good night.
38:28Good night, sir.
38:29Good night, sir.
38:38Room service.
38:39Now then, Jenny, what are you going to have to drink, love?
38:41Um, well, thanks, Jack, but I think I'm going to bed all the same.
38:45But, um, don't let me stop you.
38:48Good night.
38:58Morning, all.
38:59I hope everybody's recovered.
39:04Right.
39:05This morning, I'm going to start with a few introductory remarks about the terminal keyboard and the VDU.
39:11The VDU being the visual display unit.
39:18Well?
39:19Well, I haven't found any sign of a break-in yet, Mr Longfield.
39:21You won't.
39:22Why not?
39:22Because there was no burglary.
39:23It's all part of Grey's campaign.
39:25Campaign?
39:26To provoke and annoy me.
39:27Well, if that's what he's about, he's chosen a funny way of doing it.
39:30Running around your property in the middle of the night, knocking over your security staff.
39:33Yeah, he still hasn't come round.
39:35Get him to check the whole place again, George.
39:37Ground floor, first floor, front sides and back.
39:40All right.
39:40Kev!
39:47Well, that's it for today.
39:52The course will begin again in about two weeks' time.
39:54You'll all be personally notified by post.
39:58All right.
40:00Make sure no one comes in here.
40:14Governor, there's marks on here.
40:38They look new.
40:39There's footmarks on this wall, too.
40:41Well, get another ladder and get right up to the top.
40:45The frequency's drifting a bit.
40:46I don't like that.
40:51What are you doing?
40:52Using my own personal code in order to ask for Maynard's reference number.
40:56Are you sure your code still works?
40:58Mr. Burnham, I know what I'm doing.
40:59If anybody tried to delete my own private number, then the whole program would go up the chute.
41:12My code.
41:13T-S-S-3-E-1.
41:19There's the checking response.
41:26Now, Hamilton.
41:35It should have added welcome back.
41:36What now?
41:37We spring you a little trap, Mr. Burnham.
41:39Where do you want the gold truck to go?
41:56Governor, those marks go all the way up to the roof.
42:09Someone's been playing around with some wires up there.
42:11Wires on the roof?
42:12Yeah, there's a radio up there as well.
42:17I've just wiped the whole computer out.
42:19It's memory is completely blank.
42:22Game's set and matched to us.
42:24The gold truck will be there in a few minutes.
42:27And Longfield's career is over.
42:29Very thorough.
42:3050,000 pounds, please.
42:32There's 25,000 pounds in there.
42:35You'll get the rest when it's all over.
42:38The system's useless.
42:50Total abort.
42:51He's done you up properly, hasn't he?
42:54I think it's time you gave us details of any major security operation you were handling today, Mr. Longfield.
43:08Okay, see you.
43:09One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
43:21Now that's yours.
43:22Right, make sure you put it in the safe deposit box downstairs.
43:28Good luck, Tony.
43:29Get on with it.
43:39Is the car right outside the door?
43:41Yes, sir.
43:47Excuse me.
43:48Miss Smart?
43:49Yes.
43:50Where's CID?
43:51I'm told you can help us identify a man called Gray.
43:54Mr. Gray.
43:55Come on out, Mr. Gray.
43:56That's Gray.
43:57Hang about.
43:58You're right.
43:59Mr. Gray, he's smashed out of his mind.
44:13Caused a big scene upstairs.
44:14Now the girl.
44:15Where's his girlfriend?
