00:00You do, of course, appreciate that we are talking about a high-risk investment, Mr. Deller.
00:24Yeah, but you've seen my track record, Mr. Lamble. And even if we muff it, all you lose is your share of the front money.
00:31It's a good chance.
00:33Yes, the, um, front money.
00:38My clients are a little reluctant to commit themselves to that extent at this stage.
00:42Hey, hang on, you said...
00:45There will be no payment until you provide a clearer indication of how you propose to ship the, um, merchandise out of this country to Beirut.
00:57I told you it's all in hand.
00:59My dear Deller, I'm sure your word is your bond.
01:03My clients, I'm afraid, are a trifle fastidious about these matters.
01:09Yeah.
01:10Yeah.
01:27You seem to have attracted someone's attention, Deller, hmm?
01:31Yeah, well, uh, excuse me.
01:40Max, dear boy, please, it's only that I, um, I came up with the information that you were requiring rather sooner than I anticipated.
01:50As you said that it was important, I called round to your house immediately.
01:53You did what?
01:54Oh, Jean was very kind, and she said...
01:56I'll murder her over one of these days, I swear.
01:58There was the matter of my fee.
02:00You'll get your money when I get my information.
02:02Oh, oh, it's all here, Max. Oh, you were so right, Max, so right.
02:07Bernard Phillips changed his name more than five years ago.
02:11Changed a lot of other things, too.
02:13Well done, Professor.
02:16Well done.
02:24Oh, shit.
02:26That's easy.
02:27Max, you're so generous.
02:29We're on.
02:30Cheers.
02:31We're on.
02:32Cheers.
02:33We're on.
02:34Cheers.
02:36Cheers.
03:06Cheers.
03:36It's a nice bit of gear.
03:41Where'd you nick that?
03:42I fell off a lorry, would you believe?
03:44Oh, I believe.
03:50Oh!
03:51All right.
03:53OK?
03:54Tomorrow night.
03:55OK?
03:56Look, I'll let you know when I know something definite, all right?
03:58Fine.
03:59Hello, Guth.
04:00Oh, hello, George.
04:02What's Jack up to then?
04:04He's leading the assault on Scotland Yard's notorious inefficiency.
04:08Oh, yeah.
04:09Yeah, the organisation of methods boys are in.
04:11Our team's been selected to show them how we keep the paper flowing.
04:15I like that.
04:16Nice touch.
04:17So they pick on a one guy who's never filled a forming properly in his life.
04:21Right.
04:22The governor reckons Asking's put him up to it.
04:24Yeah, well, he seems to be enjoying himself.
04:26I'll grab him later in the pub.
04:28Is there anything I can do?
04:30No, it wasn't important, really.
04:32I've just got to whisper something to foot.
04:35It might be a blagging.
04:36It's nothing definite.
04:37I just wondered if Jack had heard anything.
04:39Well, he hadn't said anything.
04:41Er...
04:42Is that all you've got?
04:43Yeah.
04:44Someone's recruiting now.
04:46It seems whatever it is might be in the city.
04:48Well, I'll ask him for you.
04:50Yeah, do that, George.
04:52See ya.
04:53Duh.
04:54You see, the ideal situation would be one standard form.
04:58Yeah, right.
04:59Now, if I...
05:00Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
05:02Oh, dear.
05:03Tell you what, I've got an idea.
05:07Why don't we have a break, Mr. Bradshaw?
05:10I'll tell you what, we'll take you over to the pub for a spot of lunch, will?
05:13Well, that's very kind of you, Inspector, but really, er...
05:16I don't normally drink in the lunch hour.
05:19It upsets me for the afternoon, you know.
05:20Oh, well, we've all got that problem.
05:22Come on.
05:28Nice one, George.
05:32I just can't get the neck.
05:33It's all concentration, you see, James.
05:35Ah.
05:37Oops.
05:38Ah, yes.
05:39On the other hand, you don't have to believe everything I tell.
05:42Cheers, Scuff.
05:43Cheers, Guff.
05:44Didn't even move.
05:45How's your little friend?
05:46He's having the time of his life.
05:49Hey, listen, you can get the next one in.
05:51I've got two in already.
05:52Yeah, but when he came in, he was drinking lemonade.
05:54Now he's on doubles.
05:56Trebles.
05:57He said he didn't drink.
05:59He won't be much good to us like that.
06:01Oh, yes, he will.
06:02The sky should fall in any minute, then we can send him off home.
06:05He's due to be with Mr. Crossford's lot tomorrow,
06:07then we'll be shot to him for good.
06:11Well, tough.
06:37So the little bloke says,
06:42Oh, he says,
06:44How low can you get?
06:46The little bloke says,
06:47A little Jack Russell right there.
06:49A little Jack Russell right there.
06:57Thank you, my dead child.
06:59Ladies, to our little good fortune.
07:14There you go, darling.
07:16Two pints of bitter.
07:18Large whiskey and a large vodka.
07:21With lemonade.
07:22You want me to all right?
07:24Oh, yes, love you.
07:25He's just a bit quiet.
07:26He's got a lovely sense of humour, really.
07:31Get a load of that pantomime over there.
07:33What do you make of it?
07:34Harry Fuller.
07:36Harry Fuller?
07:37Yeah, he's the right jug artist.
07:39Another double brand new.
07:40I deserve much.
07:41He was a bent briefs clerk before he got nicked.
07:44Yeah, between spells at the Ville drying out,
07:46he's a con merchant.
07:47He does a bit of grass in when he's really down.
07:50Hey, you keep the change.
07:53Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:05It's lucky he can't fold it.
08:06He can't.
08:07Only last week he was trading bum information to the drug squad he was so broke.
08:12So what's he been up to, then?
08:23Mr. Conway, now you've taken over the firm, do you intend to change the policy of sponsorship
08:35which Mr. Drummond pursued?
08:37Well, I haven't exactly taken over.
08:38Mr. Drummond is still chairman.
08:39But you are now managing director.
08:41Yes.
08:42And I'd like to say that I wholeheartedly support amateur sport in this country.
08:47And to answer your question, Drummond Sport will be helping out with the expenses and
08:51providing the weights and other equipment for the Middle East tour.
09:00I should now like to turn to Mr. Drummond.
09:03This is rather a case in reverse, Cinderella.
09:09Sorry.
09:11Thank God.
09:13Well, well, well.
09:14Bernie.
09:15Come on, gentlemen, please.
09:18Right.
09:19Now, hang about, George.
09:20He must have over 200 quid on him.
09:24Enterprise of martial kind when there was...
09:28Look, Carl.
09:28I've got a ticket for the International tonight.
09:31That old soaks up to no good.
09:33And I want to know why.
09:36Went away.
09:38He read from the track.
09:40It's a long way from A-Wing at Feesdown.
09:43What the hell are you doing here, Max?
09:45You hadn't covered your tracks as well as you thought.
09:49I reckon we might have a chat now that you're all rich and famous.
09:53What do you want?
09:54A hand up?
09:55Not exactly.
09:57Just thought us sportel boys got to stick together.
09:59Oh, come on, Max.
10:01Are you kidding?
10:02That was years ago.
10:04Who cares?
10:05Drummond's might.
10:08But that's not the point, is it, Mr. Phillips?
10:12I just thought you might like to do me a favour.
10:15A favour?
10:16For old times' sake.
10:17Just a favour, Bernie.
10:20Hey, remember that time you smashed that screw over the back of the Swede with a shovel?
10:25Fratcheted his skull, I think.
10:28I was a great help to you, if I recall.
10:31Got you off it.
10:34You could have done real porridge for that, Bernie.
10:38Come on, let's get outside.
10:39Do you think Jimmy's going to manage him on his own?
10:49Yeah.
10:50Yeah.
10:52Information, sir.
10:53What?
11:02Fuller's only drunk.
11:03He's like that every day of the week.
11:05We're on to something here.
11:07Do you want a bet?
11:09Yeah.
11:09Fiver.
11:10Put your money where you're matches.
11:12Hang about.
11:26You're not going to put him in here, are you?
11:29Come on.
11:31I just want a little help with the project I've got on it.
11:34It'll only take a day or so.
11:36This will have to think about it.
11:37Time I have not got, squire.
11:39Darling?
11:40Oh, hello.
11:41And who are you?
11:42Max.
11:43Max Deller.
11:44I'm in transport, shipping and all that.
11:46Hello.
11:47I'm Joanna Drummond.
11:48Yes, of course.
11:49I've seen you in the papers.
11:51Congratulations.
11:53Well, Bernie, I'll be in touch.
11:55Nice to meet you, Mr Drummond.
11:57Goodbye.
11:58Come on, darling.
12:00Are you all right?
12:01Hmm?
12:02Yes, yes, of course.
12:03We said we'd be at Stevens by seven.
12:05I don't know what you were drinking, but it won't come out.
12:12Your stomach must be lying with double-gloss emulsion.
12:16Now, come on, Harry.
12:18You'll do.
12:23One hundred and sixty-five quid.
12:27Fifty-five and a half pee.
12:30I don't know why you do it, Harry.
12:34It's not as if you enjoy it.
12:38How are you feeling now, Harry?
12:40Bad, Mr Ridd.
12:41Bad.
12:42Well, I should take it easier.
12:44Not good for you, you know, this high life.
12:47You've been feeling dodgy then, Harry?
12:49Hmm, nothing serious.
12:51Nothing serious, Mr R.
12:53Minor respiratory inflammation.
12:57Would you, um, would you have a cigarette by any chance?
13:01Yes.
13:02You're killing yourself, Harry.
13:03A short life, Sergeant.
13:04Was it good?
13:05Yeah, that's right.
13:06Cheers.
13:07Tell me something, Harry.
13:08Where'd you get all this bread?
13:09I, uh...
13:10I, uh...
13:11I, uh...
13:12I had a win at White City.
13:13What was the dog?
13:14I can't remember at the moment.
13:15I, uh...
13:16Just a minute, I...
13:17Harry, you're not gonna muck us about, are you?
13:18Oh, Mr Pina!
13:19Come on, Harry!
13:20You've sold someone hot information!
13:21Something bent, I guess,
13:34I can't remember at the moment. I... Just a minute, I... Harry.
13:39You're not gonna muck us about, are you?
13:42Come on, Harry! You've sold someone hot information!
13:45Something bent, I guess, cos no cop's gonna pay you this kind of money.
13:49You've been up to no good, haven't you, Harry?
13:51You couldn't earn all that going straight. So what's it about, eh, Harry?
13:55Um... Come on, Harry. Who's doing what?
13:59Something's in the wind. It's simple logic, Harry.
14:03One, it must be something bent for you to get this money at all.
14:07Two, it must be something really naughty for a villain to pay you that kind of money.
14:11Well, erm...
14:14Well... Yes, Harry?
14:19I can assure you, Mr... Regan, I... I can explain everything.
14:26A little casual worker... from solicitors...
14:32Names.
14:33But what is it? I should find out.
14:39Now, look, Harry.
14:41If I was in a bad mood, I could nick you for being drunk and incapable.
14:46Or unlawful possession of money.
14:48Being a public nuisance.
14:49Insulting behaviour.
14:50Disturbing the peace.
14:51Ruining my jacket.
14:52Ruining his jacket.
14:53But I'm not.
14:54Nope.
14:55I'm in a good mood, Harry.
14:56So I'll tell you what.
14:57I'm gonna let you go.
14:58Oh, thank you, sir.
14:59There's just one more thing, Harry.
15:00Forget about your own problems.
15:01Put the nation first.
15:02Have a bath.
15:07I'll book him in for him if you read the cash.
15:08And I'll follow him, Judge.
15:09Do what?
15:10You heard me tell him.
15:11What for?
15:12Look, Governor, I've got at least four reports to write up.
15:13There's other things demonic people.
15:14And tickets for the international tonight.
15:15Do you know that?
15:19I'll book him in for him if you read the cash.
15:23And I'll follow him, George.
15:27Do what?
15:29You heard me tell him.
15:31What for?
15:33Look, Governor, I've got at least four reports to write up.
15:35There are several other things that need to...
15:37And tickets for the International tonight.
15:39It's not only that.
15:41Look, that drunken bum is rubbish and you know it.
15:44He's probably telling the truth anyway.
15:46Do leave off, George.
15:47What solicitor's going to give him a job?
15:49He'd take one look at the files and he'd be blackmailing the clients.
15:53If something's afoot there, I could smell it.
15:56OK.
15:57So Terry Potter had the breeze that there might be a black,
15:59but there's nothing definite, is there?
16:01Potter?
16:03What, didn't he get in touch with you?
16:04No.
16:06Well, there's word about that there might be something in the city.
16:09He wondered if you had anything for it.
16:12George, get after Fuller.
16:15Governor, Harry Fuller can just about get into a public bar.
16:18Now, even you must agree a city bank is a little beyond him.
16:21George, get after him before he disappears and you and I fall out.
16:24I'll send Jimmy out to relieve you by six, OK?
16:27Yeah, OK.
16:30But you're wasting your time.
16:32And money, if I'm wrong.
16:33Don't forget I've got a fiver on it.
16:35Yeah, thanks.
16:36Nice one, Bert.
16:37Yeah, thanks.
16:38Nice one, Bert.
16:39Yeah, thanks.
16:40Nice one, Bert.
16:42Sorry, love.
16:49Mother, Bert, you must've got seven, two, three, three, four, four, four, five, uh, no, no.
16:58That's going to be something done!
17:00Hey, thanks.
17:01Oh, sorry, love.
17:25What the hell are you doing here?
17:27But, Max, it was urgent.
17:29Very urgent.
17:31I'm in trouble. The Sweeney.
17:32The Sweeney?
17:33Yes.
17:34And?
17:35They picked me up in a pond.
17:36Bombed out your bloody mind, I suppose.
17:43You didn't tell him anything, did you?
17:45Because if you did, I'll...
17:46No, no!
17:49Look!
17:51He's one of them.
17:52Come on.
17:53Don't go, I'm in trouble.
17:55I'm in trouble.
17:59The Sweeney.
18:00I'm in trouble.
18:01I'm in trouble.
18:02I'm in trouble.
18:03I'm in trouble.
18:04Come on, come on, come on!
18:34Come on, come on!
19:04Come on, come on, come on!
19:34You've got the line, Toe, so you can put a finger on me, haven't you?
19:38Yes, why?
19:39Here, John!
19:41Hey!
19:46Harry?
19:48I know, I know, but what I don't understand is how you lost it.
20:10I mean, he's not exactly a four-minute miler, is he?
20:13No, I know that, Governor, but...
20:14How was it, George?
20:16Good game?
20:16Yeah, thanks.
20:17It was terrific.
20:18Good.
20:19No, I'm sorry about that.
20:20This old man got me the ticket.
20:21Second half was rubbish.
20:23Look, Governor, what I mean is there were two blokes, right?
20:26Harry and this top.
20:27Well, I chased him into the station, and when I came out of the arches, I was just chasing
20:31this other bloke.
20:32Harry had upped it.
20:34I wasn't with Todd.
20:36Yeah, okay.
20:38Now I've got Jimmy Thorpe round checking Fuller's place.
20:40Well, I don't need his action, mate.
20:44Oh, no, I thought he'd been sunk with all hands.
20:50Morning, Mr Bradshaw.
20:52Feeling better?
20:53Not really.
20:54Oh, dear, I'm sorry to hear that.
20:57Mr Crossfall's obviously down the corridor there.
21:00Second on the right, past the Licks.
21:02But I'm supposed to complete my work with you today, Mr Regan.
21:06My Governor didn't say anything about today.
21:08Well, yesterday, yes.
21:10Yes, but I've just cleared it without too obscured.
21:12He wants flying squad research collated first before I can go...
21:15Yes, but not today, Mr Bradshaw.
21:17I mean, this is our busiest day, Friday.
21:20You know, clearing up before the weekend and all that.
21:22We've had a lot of new cases come in during the night, haven't we, Sergeant?
21:26Oh, not many.
21:28Listen, why don't you do yourself a favour?
21:31Go and get yourself a coffee in the canteen,
21:33then get on to your Governor and let him sort it out.
21:36That's favourite.
21:38Oh, well, the whole business has become very confused.
21:43Yes, well, perhaps.
21:50Has he found out what you've been putting in his lemonade yet?
21:52Yeah, that's going to remain one of the ten great unsolved crimes of the century.
21:56He couldn't even sort himself out, never mind this lot.
22:01Listen, get on to C4.
22:03Have a look at their photos.
22:04See if you can recognise the human cannonball.
22:06I only saw the back of his head.
22:08Well, yeah, but look, anyway.
22:10Governor?
22:11Yes, George?
22:12I suppose you have allowed for the fact that the guy might have been mugged for his money last night?
22:16Not by a face wearing a hundred-guinea suit.
22:19What the hell are you doing here?
22:30Your role in my plans has been extended a bit.
22:34What do you mean?
22:38Who...
22:38Who is that?
22:40A nervous friend.
22:42Now, listen, Max, you can't do this to me.
22:44No, why not?
22:44Are you going to tell the old Bill?
22:46They might get very curious about you.
22:49What will your shareholders think if they find their managing director's been inside?
22:54What's Joanna going to tell her debutante friend?
22:56You can leave her out of this.
22:58It's up to you, Bernie.
22:59Get rid of it.
23:00Yes, I know, Thor, but I want you to go round there as well.
23:04Do as you're told!
23:06He will argue!
23:10Yeah, well, it's since he had his beard cut off.
23:14They've been around all the dossers' kips.
23:16The Spike, the Sally Ann.
23:20Every casualty department, not a whisper.
23:23Come on, boy.
23:49Yeah, boy.
23:49Who do you want?
24:16For you.
24:19Hello, hello, Bernie.
24:22How'd it go?
24:23I'll call the law, tell him I had the car stolen.
24:25Nice thinking, Bernie.
24:28Max.
24:29Yeah?
24:30Max, did you kill him?
24:32No.
24:33Heart attack, wasn't it?
24:35Get to the address on that card.
24:37What are you going to do about them TV cameras guarding that place?
24:49What do you think I've been messing around with this lot for?
24:52Here.
24:53Look.
24:55Television cameras, right?
24:57Yeah.
24:57Now, their pictures are sent up these cables to the security office upstairs.
25:03Okay?
25:03Yeah, well...
25:04Well, now, all we've got to do is to plug our videotape recorder in here.
25:09That's the main feed.
25:10Ah.
25:11And we record their pictures, which is about an hour of empty passages and locked doors.
25:16All right?
25:16Now, we disconnect their feed and we send our own pictures upstairs.
25:21And the security guard think they're watching a load of peace and quiet and everything's hunky-dory.
25:25And meanwhile?
25:29Now, there were only three witnesses, evidently.
25:32Can't remember anything.
25:33Now, this is the third hijack there in three weeks.
25:36My suggestion is that...
25:37Regan.
25:41Who?
25:42Oh, yeah.
25:44Yeah?
25:45Oh, yeah.
25:47What?
25:51Leave that, George.
25:52They're firm fuller.
25:58It's a blag, isn't it?
26:00That's right.
26:01It's a blag.
26:02And a bloody big one.
26:04I see.
26:05Oh, I'm glad about that, because you'll be helping us get the gear out of the country.
26:09Or at least Drummond Sports Enterprises will.
26:11What?
26:12Well, I thought you might like to give my little firm a trial.
26:15See how we get your gear to the Middle East.
26:18Well, I just thought you'd like to know where you fit it in.
26:22Come on, get on with it.
26:23We haven't got all day.
26:25Come on, George.
26:25Well, it's him, all right.
26:41The doc's not committing himself until after the PM.
26:44There are lacerations on the back of his head, but he doubts if that's what did it.
26:48He says Fuller was a sick man.
26:50Don't need a brass plate to know that.
26:51How did Fuller get out of here?
26:53Well, he must have been dumped from a car.
26:55The retire mark's over here.
26:56Look.
26:59Oh, and the gamekeeper was knocked down by a hit and run.
27:02Just over there.
27:04That's how the local nick got onto it.
27:05Did the keeper see anything?
27:06Don't know, Gav.
27:07We're still out cold in the cottage hospital.
27:09Broken leg and severe concussion.
27:12They'll dump the car.
27:14Probably nicked anyway.
27:16You stay here, Jimmy.
27:17We'll want some casts of those tire marks.
27:19Make sure the local boys get them.
27:20Right, go.
27:23I wonder if...
27:25Yeah.
27:26No, we'll wait till after the post-mortem.
27:29Poor old bastard.
27:30No, we'll wait till after the post-mortem.
27:41What's up?
27:47No, we'll wait till after the post-mortem.
27:50Oh, I wonder if you can't.
27:52It's a good one.
27:53Oh, my God.
27:53Oh, my God.
27:54Oh, my God.
27:55Oh, my God.
27:56Oh, my God.
27:56Oh, my God.
27:57Oh, my God.
27:58Oh, my God.
27:59Oh, my God.
28:00Floor contract, mate.
28:14Oh?
28:16You don't usually come till midnight.
28:17Oh, we're the other shift.
28:18It's all the other way around tonight.
28:20It's all this time and motion business.
28:22Oh, yeah.
28:24All right.
28:30All right.
29:00All right.
29:30All right.
29:42Ready?
29:48Hi, what's wrong?
29:49All right.
30:01All right.
30:02All right.
30:04Okay.
30:05Yeah, cheers, Ted.
30:06Thanks a lot.
30:08Yeah, Bernard Conway does own the car.
30:10Oh, sorry, Matt.
30:12He told the porter at the flats that it had been stolen this morning.
30:16He's at his bird's place.
30:18And Miss Joanna Drummond, Putney.
30:19He's not expected back till very late.
30:22Joanna Drummond?
30:24Forensic are sure that's the car?
30:25Oh, yeah.
30:26A bit of the rug the body was in was caught in the door.
30:28Division run the rule over there, kid, can't we?
30:32Yeah, no fool.
30:37Right.
30:37We've recorded one hour.
30:39Okay.
30:39We'll go for a replay.
30:40Playin' up tonight.
30:52Okay, one hour.
30:55Miss Drummond, Detective Inspector Regan.
31:10Not again.
31:11We've only just got rid of one of you a lot.
31:14I understand you have a Mr. Bernard Conway with you.
31:17Is he a policeman too?
31:19Man and boy, ma'am.
31:22May we come in?
31:23Be my guest.
31:25Darling, Batman and Robin are here.
31:41Bernard Conway.
31:42Yes.
31:43Detective Inspector Regan.
31:45This is Sergeant Carter, Flying Squad.
31:47Flying Squad.
31:49Sit down, Mr. Conway.
31:50We'd, uh, we'd like to have a chat about your car.
31:56My car.
31:57The car.
31:58We've had that all bloody evening.
32:02Perhaps you'd prefer to talk to us on your own, eh?
32:05No, no, no.
32:07Oh, you mean, uh, Joanna?
32:09No, I'd prefer her to stay.
32:11I've, um, I've nothing to hide.
32:14No one said you did, Mr. Conway.
32:16No.
32:17No.
32:28It's stuck!
32:30What the hell's the matter?
32:31I don't know.
32:32What the hell's the matter to do?
32:42Come on!
32:42Come on!
32:42Well, if you guys are going to insist on staying for breakfast, you might as well
33:11have a drink.
33:12Thanks.
33:12Scotch.
33:13And what about your nice, quiet friend?
33:16Uh, yeah, I'll have it the same.
33:23Do you own the car, Mr. Conway?
33:25No, not exactly.
33:26It's a company car.
33:28What company is that?
33:29Drummond Sport Enterprises.
33:31Don't be so bloody coy, darling.
33:33Look, Inspector, Drummond's my father.
33:35He's grown too old and too miserable to run the company.
33:38So he's left Bernie in charge.
33:39And the lucky bastard's going to marry me, the boss's daughter.
33:43Does that make you jealous, Sergeant?
33:46Yes.
33:4840 minutes.
33:48Oh, one thing puzzles me, Inspector.
33:57Oh, one thing puzzles me, Inspector.
34:18It's a flying squad.
34:20Now, I had a long talk earlier this evening with Inspector White, and he mentioned...
34:23Mr. Conway, the body of a man was found in Epping this afternoon.
34:27Now, we have a reason to believe that your car was used to transport it.
34:30A body?
34:31Now, we're not sure about the cause of death.
34:35There'll be an inquest, of course.
34:37Another man was injured.
34:40A gamekeeper.
34:42Now, we think he may have been struck by your car leaving the scene in Epping Forest.
34:47I'm sorry I didn't know.
34:50Your people didn't say anything about that.
34:52Well, they didn't know.
34:53I see.
34:53Well, I'll give you all the help I can.
34:56I'll give you all the help I can.
35:26Only five minutes left on the tape, now.
35:29All right.
35:30Let's go.
35:33Well, come on, come on.
35:34That's enough.
35:39What's up?
35:40Well, thanks, Mr. Conway.
35:42That's been very useful.
35:43I'm afraid it'll be some weeks before you get your car back.
35:47Sorry about the intrusion, Mr. Drummond.
35:49Well, it's okay, Inspector.
35:51If you hadn't called it, then you've been wasting our lives away.
35:54Yes, well, I think they want to go, John.
35:56So much for you.
35:58And your Irish hospitality.
36:01Well, are you Irish, then, Mr. Conway?
36:02Well, er...
36:03Of course he's a mick, Inspector.
36:05A poor little peasant who came over on a cattle boat to make his fortune.
36:08Whereabouts in Ireland?
36:12Oh, somewhere near, er...
36:13Shannon Airport.
36:15Oh, I know, yeah.
36:16County Clare.
36:17That's funny, because my old man comes from near there.
36:19Clare Castle.
36:21Did you know any Regans?
36:23I can't say I do.
36:24My folks moved around an awful lot before I came over, and, er...
36:28I see.
36:29Yeah, thanks again.
36:30That jammy bastard's got it made, hasn't he?
36:49Well, why would he want to knock over poor old Harry?
36:51I don't know, but it didn't smell quite right to me.
36:54Well, he's got an own record here.
36:56He could almost check for his dad's an iron, I suppose.
36:58Dad's?
36:58Yeah, his fingerprints are going to be all over the cobwein, aren't they?
37:01Well, that's a thought, George.
37:03I don't think he's ever been to Ireland.
37:05He's lame.
37:06He's not the only one, is he?
37:08You all said your old man came from Liverpool.
37:27My God!
37:28Oh, Gup, where have all the flowers gone?
37:48Fifth floor.
37:49Big briefing.
37:50The city bullion vault was black during the night.
37:53There's nothing on the radio.
37:54Well, there will be.
37:55A million quids with the girls gone missing.
37:56Oh, dear.
37:58Potter was right, then?
38:00His informant was.
38:02Should we be upstairs?
38:03No.
38:04No, Frank Haskins has decided that we can be spared.
38:09Not Bradshaw?
38:10Yep.
38:11He's coming in on a Saturday just for us.
38:13How kind.
38:16Here, listen.
38:17I checked out Conway's story.
38:19No-one found can remember seeing either his car in the street
38:22or him in the phone box.
38:23What did I tell you?
38:25Yeah, but hang on, Gar.
38:27They're nearly all offices there.
38:29People are coming and going all the time.
38:31Oh, er, I found the switchboard girl on the firm, he said he phoned.
38:35No good.
38:36She said the bloke he asked for was out.
38:39Any more news about Fuller?
38:40No.
38:40Post-mortem?
38:41No.
38:42Look, George, I want you to go round to Conway's firm, the Drummond place.
38:46But it's Saturday.
38:46Yeah, I know, but someone will be around.
38:49See what you can find out about Conway.
38:51You know, use your charm.
38:52You're, er, making inquiries about who might have nicked his motor and all that.
38:55Yeah, all right.
38:56Pardon, Mr Haskins sent me down from upstairs, Gav.
38:58Out of the briefing, said I had to see you.
39:00Yeah, that's right.
39:00Sit down, Jimmy.
39:01Yeah, but I thought you wanted me to...
39:03Listen, if, er, somebody rings for me from the fingerprint boys or the pathologist,
39:07I'll be at that number, right?
39:08China, Drummond?
39:10Yep.
39:11What about Bradshaw?
39:13Who?
39:13Good God.
39:43We did that TV robbery.
39:44I told you it was a big one.
39:47There.
39:49Might not be up to Drummond's standards, but it'll do.
39:54Come on, George, get on with it.
39:56That plane leads at 2.30.
39:58Don't worry.
39:59We can let them dry off on the way.
40:02But you've got to crate the stuff, yeah?
40:04That's all right.
40:06There's plenty of time.
40:10How long have you known your fiancé, Mr Drummond?
40:13About three years.
40:15Was that after he joined your father's company?
40:19About three months, yes.
40:21He's done well, though, hasn't he?
40:23Bernie?
40:23I suppose so.
40:24I mean, it was his first job after coming over from Ireland.
40:28I know what you're thinking.
40:30He just happens to be good at his job.
40:33Don't worry.
40:33He earned his promotion.
40:35What about you?
40:36I fell in love with him.
40:41I didn't want to seem uncooperative, Inspector,
40:44but what has all this to do with my fiancé having his car stolen me in Shoreditch?
40:48Well, I'm just trying to fill in a few gaps.
40:50Gaps?
40:51You see, Mr Conway was a bit vague about the circumstances surrounding the theft of his car.
40:56Well, he wasn't there when it was taken, was he?
40:58I think he's mixed up in a major crime.
41:10I don't believe you.
41:12Look, you're close to him.
41:13Has he been behaving strangely?
41:15Has he got any money problems?
41:16You must be joking.
41:19What about friends?
41:20Business associates?
41:21Has he met anyone unusual lately?
41:26A man called Della showed up a couple of days ago.
41:29Della?
41:29Yes, it's funny.
41:31He seemed to upset Bernie, yet Bernie's been trying to get him work with the company ever since.
41:36He's supposed to be some sort of transport contractor.
41:39Looked more like a pimp to me.
41:41I don't understand...
41:41No.
41:43Della, you said.
41:44That's right.
41:46Max Della.
41:47Tallish.
41:49A bit smarmy, really.
41:50Seemed to be well off, though.
41:52Thanks, love.
42:00But listen, Joe's expecting me to phone.
42:03You can make all the calls you like as soon as we got rid of this lot.
42:06But those flying squad people are giving me a bad time.
42:09They wanted to know where you had your jam jar pinched.
42:12You told them.
42:13Right?
42:14Now stop flapping.
42:20Where's Mr. Potter?
42:28I don't know.
42:29What do you mean you don't know?
42:30He's your governor, ain't he?
42:31Sure could.
42:31You call me sir, mate.
42:33Hey, for crying out loud, Jack, what are you doing?
42:36Hey?
42:36Barging in here, shouting at my boys.
42:38Look, we're all in trouble and you should bloody well know that.
42:40Now clear off.
42:41Nobody tells me to clear off, Tom.
42:43Now look, mate, we're all in it up to here, right?
42:46In case you hadn't noticed, a million quid's of a gold bullion has been nicked right under our noses.
42:50What's the notice?
42:51Gov.
42:52Go and buy yourself a newspaper.
42:53Yeah.
42:56Yeah.
43:00Oh, Gov.
43:02It's all right.
43:03Della, I went and got it myself.
43:05Good lad.
43:07I don't know this hero, do you?
43:11Get George for me, will you?
43:12Most of his early form out of town.
43:17Reputation as a draftsman.
43:20But five years in 1968 for a conspiracy to rub banks.
43:25Della?
43:28Yeah, that sounds like him.
43:31Uh, one more thing, Gov.
43:33Conway was here first thing, evidently.
43:35Organising a dispatch of gear to some weightlifters doing a tour of the Middle East.
43:39Get all the information you can on that, George.
43:41Yeah, you know, flight numbers, waybills, agents, all that.
43:47Hello, Gerry.
43:48I'll explain later, George.
43:49Ta.
43:50Gerry, it's Jack Regan here.
43:52Yeah, fine, mate.
43:54Listen, if you had half a ton of bent gold for sale, where would you try and place it?
44:00Yeah, that makes sense.
44:02Yeah, many thanks, mate.
44:04Ta.
44:05Jimmy, get on to London Airport.
44:07Find out all direct and communicating flights to Beirut today.
44:10No, no, of course I'm not angry.
44:13Oh, for crying out loud, George, I'll explain everything later.
44:15Oh, I told you it'd be awkward.
44:19Honestly, she's invited some people for lunch and I'm supposed to be there or something.
44:23Well, that's too bad, kiddo.
44:25Look, I've got a couple of calls to make.
44:27Get that stuff into the crates, will you?
44:29Well, you know how it goes together.
44:31Come on.
44:32I haven't gone all day.
44:33Hey, and, er, remember, you're into this all the way, so no bottling out.
44:40All right?
44:47Oh, Mr. Lamborn, please.
44:49Well, get him out of it.
44:51I can't afford to hang about.
44:53Yeah, well, there's a funny thing, actually.
44:54There are no records in the office.
44:58Yeah, it seems how Mr. Conway made all the arrangements himself.
45:04OK?
45:04Yeah, no-one will be able to tell there's been a switch.
45:06Now, what did you do with your weights?
45:08I chucked them in the bushes.
45:09Great, great.
45:10Come on.
45:10Let's go.
45:11This is bloody ridiculous.
45:15Look, don't panic, Governor.
45:17They'll have every air cargo terminal covered by one o'clock.
45:19Well, quite a few flights will have gone by then.
45:21It could be in any of them.
45:22Yeah, but I just couldn't get enough fellas down here in time.
45:25We're not exactly blazing a trail, are we?
45:41Oi, don't be daft.
45:58It's only a load of bloody iron, you know.
46:01What's all that about?
46:02Oh, that gadget's looking for explosives in cargo, see?
46:05It detects, um, ferrous metals, iron and steel.
46:09There's no point in squirting it at bloody iron weights, is there?
46:13That's why it made all that noise.
46:14Iron weights?
46:15Well, that's what the weights are made out of, cock.
46:17That's what caused all the row.
46:19Yeah, yeah.
46:19Yeah.
46:20Well, um...
46:21Yeah, hang about.
46:39You're a bastard.
46:50You've changed the weights!
46:52Come on, George!
47:14Um, we've lost the wheel now.
47:32Mind me.
47:33What's this going on?
47:41Hello, Mr. Deller.
47:59You are in good shape, aren't you?
48:01My name's Regan, flying squad.
48:03I think you'd better stop.
48:05It'd be better for both of us.
48:07You're nicked, and I'm not authorised or insured to drive this car.
48:10You've caused a lot of people a lot of bother.
48:24I'm very sorry, Inspector, but I didn't have a lot of...
48:26All right, you're instrumental in the capture of Deller and the recovery of stolen property,
48:30but you admit to disposing of a dead body and assisting in the shipment of gold.
48:33But listen, it's...
48:34There's also the matter of the gamekeeper.
48:36Yes, but you don't seem to realise I was under a hell of a lot of pressure.
48:38All right, you're being blackmailed, but nevertheless, Mr. Conway,
48:41I must warn you, the charges will probably be preferred.
48:44Of course, you have helped, and if the rest of the gang can be caught,
48:49we'll do what we can.
49:00We, uh, we tracked down Conway's dabs.
49:03He was a tear away as a kid.
49:05His real name's Phillips.
49:06Do you know what?
49:08What?
49:09He and Deller shared the same room at Ballstall for two years.
49:13Now, Philip seems to have gone pretty straight.
49:15Well done, Jimmy.
49:15Nice one.
49:18Yeah, but that explains everything, Gav.
49:20I know, Jim.
49:22But, I mean,
49:23aren't you going to nick him?
49:25Conway.
49:26It's all been taken care of, son.
49:28Oh.
49:29I know what you're thinking.
49:37Yeah?
49:38Yeah, about the hard time Terry Potter's going to give you.
49:41No?
49:42No, I was wondering when you're going to shell out that fiver, you or me?
