00:00Mr. President, Commissioner, my Lord.

00:20Mr. President, my Lord, your worship.

00:25Mr. President, your worship, my Lord, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen.

00:41Mr. President, my Lord, Commissioner, your worship, ladies and gentlemen.

00:50That's better.

00:51Mr. President, it is my pleasure to propose the toast to the guests on behalf of the Flying Squad Social and Athletics Club in this, their annual...

01:07sound like a sourced-up old pudding.

01:14I was talking to a dog handler the other day.

01:19He was slagging his dog off.

01:21Er, I mean, he was complaining about how he was... how his dog was a bit useless.

01:26So I said, but he used to be a very keen, smart and efficient dog.

01:33Yes, he was, he said.

01:35That's a dog handler talking.

01:37Yes, he was.

01:38But last week, he was promoted to superintendent.

01:41Now he just sits on his arse and barks.

01:44Ha, ha, ha, ha.

01:47Best of clean as they've shrunk.

01:54We are all so honoured tonight with the presence of the new Deputy Assistant Commissioner,

02:00who has joined us from the other side of the fence.

02:05For those of you who don't know the gentleman, he's the one sitting on my left wearing a white crash helmet.

02:11Boom, boom.

02:11Ha, ha, ha.

02:14Tonight also marks the retirement of Detective Superintendent Reggie, well, if you twist my arm, Benton.

02:32Mr. Benton is going to be the president of a new association.

02:39Alcoholics Unanimous.

02:40If you don't want a drink, you ring them, and they talk you into having one.

02:47Well, laugh, you bastards.

02:48That one cost me a fiver.

02:53Oh, no.

02:57That's all I bloody need.

02:59Oh, yeah.

03:01Oh, no.

03:07Oh, no.

03:10Oh, no.

03:18Oh, no.

03:19Oh, no.

03:23Oh, no.

03:24You, my son, are in a severe state of imbibring.

03:44Hello, darling.

03:47You ever seen a green one before?

03:49Now, where are you two little darlings off to, eh?

03:52Come on, Loki.

03:54They ought to put something in your tea, Loki.

03:59You're getting married, Sadie.

04:01I need something to calm me nerves, don't I?

04:03Come on, Loki.

04:05The job.

04:06Come on, Sadie.

04:08Shh, shh, shh.

04:09I'm getting married in the morning.

04:15Oh, that's time, Loki.

04:17Oh, yeah. It's more like a bleeding weight than a staying party, Doc.

04:21Oh, that's nice.

04:22Like it, girl.

04:23Oh, yeah.

04:24It's yours, isn't it, now?

04:25Oh.

04:26Here.

04:27Where will you put it?

04:28Oh, Loki.

04:30Here you've got a visitor.

04:31Where?

04:32In your room.

04:33What kind of visitor?

04:35I'll put it in the lav.

04:36Be nice and moist in there.

04:38Hey.

04:39No.

04:40It's old mother rich.

04:42Checking on you.

04:43You've got a morbid sense of humour.

04:46You won't get out of it yet.

04:55I thought I'd bring your wedding present round, Loki.

04:58That's very thoughtful of you, Gloria.

05:01It's a chip pan.

05:02Has Linda got a chip pan, Loki?

05:12Here, Governor.

05:13That joke of yours last night about the DAC.

05:16What about it?

05:17He wasn't wearing a crash helmet.

05:21Oh.

05:24Here, Governor.

05:25Do you remember the last time we tried to pull Loki?

05:28Please don't shout, George.

05:31Bill.

05:32He was cased up with his Chinese tattooist bird.

05:35Straight up.

05:36Wouldn't he?

05:36She looked like a job.

05:37He reckoned that she was tattooed all over her body.

05:40Even her, you know...

05:41George, do you mind?

05:44I'm trying to remember what day it is.

05:46I hope he's had his hair cut.

05:48Loki's hair's not long.

05:49Yeah, well, I don't want him looking like a puff in the photographs.

05:51Mum.

05:52Hold still.

05:54My foot's gone to sleep.

05:58Are you holding yourself in?

05:59No.

06:00Yes, you are.

06:01I'm not.

06:02You can't hold your breath all through the ceremony, my girl.

06:05You are not altering this waistline.

06:07You're in the club, and there's nothing we can do about it.

06:10Another month, and you would have looked nice.

06:12We've been through all this, Mum.

06:14I don't understand you, Linda.

06:15Nice-looking girl like you.

06:17Four CSEs.

06:19Working with one of the best hairstylists in London.

06:21Why, you could have married anyone.

06:23I didn't want anyone.

06:25I love Luke.

06:26Love.

06:27Ha!

06:28You just wait till you're up to your elbows in dirty nappies,

06:32waiting for him to come home.

06:33Ha!

06:35It's all kissing and cuddling now.

06:37But I'm telling you, my girl,

06:39you're going to have to nail that one's feet to the bottom of the bed.

06:43I know his type.

06:45Carries his brains in his trousers.

06:51Mr. Regan.

06:53How missed a car, that?

06:55That's right, Lukey.

06:56And this is a pool.

06:58So save the big smiles for the magistrate, eh?

07:00Never know, it might be a bird.

07:02A pool?

07:02What for, Mr. Regan?

07:03You ever heard of the messenger of the gods, Lukey?

07:06You what?

07:07Mercury.

07:08Mercury?

07:10Mercury, my son.

07:12200 flasks of mercury have gone missing.

07:15That's a lot of thermometers.

07:17Pulling my chain, Mr. Regan.

07:18Do you know how much that's worth, Lukey?

07:20You what?

07:2130 grand.

07:2230 big ones.

07:23I don't know what you two are on about.

07:25Straight, I don't.

07:26We'll elucidate down at the Nick.

07:28I'm getting itched tomorrow.

07:31Yeah.

07:31What?

07:32Straight.

07:33Clean fingernails, best whistle.

07:35At three o'clock at St. Matthew's.

07:36To Linda Rick's daughter of Stanley,

07:38unfortunately deceased.

07:39And Lily, just unfortunate.

07:42You're very welcome to the reception.

07:44We'll try not to spoil your big day.

07:45I've got me orders, Mr. Regan.

07:47Get the barnet notch, pick up the whistle.

07:49On your arches, Lukey.

07:50She'll kill me.

07:51Lovely Linda.

07:52No, her bleeding mother.

07:55We'll give you police protection.

08:04So where do you wait now, Mum?

08:06Back over here.

08:13No, I think by the window's best.

08:20No, no, no.

08:26Back here, the guests can circulate then.

08:28You sure now, before we both get a bloody urnia?

08:31Language.

08:32Now, I want you two to keep your eyes on that Lukey tomorrow at the reception.

08:37You know what he's like when there's a free drink around.

08:40Oh, I thought your father could tuck it away.

08:42God rest his soul.

08:43And we don't want any filthy stories either.

08:46And for God's sake, keep him away from Aunty Vi.

08:49You know what happens when those two get together.

08:51She'll be up on the table singing and showing her knickers before we can even read the telegrams.

08:55The container was driven out of the depot at night.

08:59False information had been fed into the computer controlling cargo movements.

09:03Computers?

09:04I don't know nothing about computers, Mr. Regan.

09:07I can't even work out my odds down a petting shot.

09:09Lukey, look.

09:10We know that one of the cargo control clerks is involved.

09:13There are three others.

09:14I'm not in that division, honest, Mr. Regan.

09:16I didn't even know mercury was valuable to you, told me.

09:23All right.

09:24Well, why are you so shy about telling us where you were that night?

09:27I ain't shy.

09:29All right.

09:29Where were you then?

09:31Well, it's a bit awkward, isn't it?

09:34Oh, dear.

09:37You hear that, George?

09:38It's a bit awkward.

09:40What I mean is, Mr. Regan,

09:41the Sweeney's hardly renowned for its delicate, tactful approach, is it?

09:45You mean she's married?

09:47You're a very perceptive man, Mr. Carter.

09:50What's her name?

09:51Her husband's a very evil, bitter, vicious, twisted little man, Mr. Regan.

09:54Have you ever found out?

09:56Her name, Lukey, or we charge you.

10:07Stanley.

10:13Good morning, gentlemen.

10:14Good morning.

10:15We'd like a word with Mrs. Rilla.

10:16What about?

10:17No, it's private.

10:18I'm Mr. Rilla.

10:19I thought you might be.

10:21My wife's engaged at the moment.

10:22Perhaps I can...

10:23I've just seen a mouse.

10:25I'm sorry, gentlemen.

10:26Mrs. Rilla.

10:27Yes?

10:27I wonder if we could have a word with you, in private.

10:30What about?

10:32Bird protection.

10:34Bird protection?

10:35Yeah, we're from the London Wildlife Society.

10:38And Mrs. Rilla is a patron,

10:39and is especially interested in starlings and pigeons and sparrows.

10:45Oh.

10:45Oh, yes, of course.

10:47Since when have you been interested in birds?

10:49Yes, they said you'd be calling.

10:52Stanley, that fox of Mrs. Pincus, the cigarette burn.

10:56I can't find it.

10:58The fox?

10:59The burn.

11:00Who are you?

11:08Police.

11:09Is Lukey in trouble?

11:10He could be.

11:11Mrs. Rilla, where were you last Wednesday night?

11:14Oh.

11:15Wednesday, yes.

11:17Did Lukey, er...

11:18Were you with Lukey Sparrow?

11:20As you can see, gentlemen,

11:22Mr. Rilla is considerably older than myself,

11:25and he's not a well man.

11:27Slip disc.

11:29Wednesday is my night for seeing my sister.

11:31Sister?

11:32Yes.

11:33She's very understanding.

11:34Got a nice little flat in Clapham.

11:36Oh, if Stanley ever finds out.

11:38Now, all we want to do, Mrs. Rilla,

11:39is find out whether Lukey's telling us the truth.

11:41And he told us he was with you Wednesday night?

11:44Oh, yes, he was.

11:45He was definitely with me on Wednesday.

11:47I could swear to it if I had to.

11:49I won't have to, will I?

11:51What time did you meet him?

11:53Er, about eight, at the flat.

11:55My sister goes to tango classes

11:57and then on for a little light supper

11:59with a gentleman friend afterwards.

12:01And what time did he leave?

12:03Er, well, I don't know exactly.

12:05I got home about half eleven.

12:07Lukey must have left the flat about eleven.

12:09Eleven?

12:10Well, it might have been a little later.

12:13Hall in.

12:14One hole.

12:16Yes, well, er, thank you very much, Mrs. Rilla.

12:19Goodbye.

12:20Bye.

12:22See you at the next meeting.

12:24Pardon?

12:26Oh, yeah, of course.

12:27Yeah, thank you.

12:28Bye.

12:31Were you eavesdropping, Stanley?

12:33Certainly not.

12:35I do have other interests, you know.

12:36Beside you and the shop.

12:37But you hate birds.

12:39You've always hated birds.

12:43Where did you go to, Lukey, after you left, Doc?

12:46Home.

12:46Straight home, Mr. Regan.

12:50You ain't gonna believe that, are you?

12:51I can't prove it, because I didn't see no one.

12:55You were a sadist, you are, Mr. Regan.

12:57If you knew Mrs. Ricks, you wouldn't be doing this to me.

12:59I can't prove it.

13:06Soon fix you up, son.

13:09Right.

13:14A bit convincing, isn't he?

13:15It was your man who put his name in the frame, George.

13:18He might be wrong.

13:19No, he tells me.

13:20Well, it's a bit out of Lucas League, isn't it?

13:23Go and give his drum a spin, George.

13:25Take Pete with you.

13:26I'll stay here.

13:27Pete, you're all right.

13:28I reckon he's more frightened of Mrs. Ricks than us.

13:30How much longer, Mr. Regan?

13:38As long as it takes, son.

13:40I've been here nearly two hours already.

13:43Look, can I make a call?

13:44You ought to phone Linda and explain.

13:46Try and explain.

13:48Yeah, all right.

13:50Mr. Regan.

13:51What?

13:52Well, you couldn't phone, could you?

13:54Well, if Mrs. Ricks answered instead of Linda,

13:56you could say that...

13:58Do leave off, Lukey.

14:00Mrs. Dorothy Plummer?

14:04Yes?

14:06Police.

14:07Oh, what have I done?

14:09No, nothing.

14:09I want to ask a few questions about Lukey Sparrow.

14:12Always get married.

14:13Yeah.

14:14Not sure which one.

14:16Can you remember last Wednesday?

14:18Oh, Wednesday.

14:20Were you in about 11?

14:21Oh, I'm always in, love.

14:23Except when I go out.

14:25Really?

14:26Wednesday.

14:27What was on?

14:28Oh, of course, yes, yes.

14:30I was in.

14:31Wouldn't miss the horror film.

14:33Did you see last night?

14:34That Christopher Lee, his eyes and them teeth.

14:38Oh, put me off me port it did.

14:40And when that severed hand crept over those white sheets,

14:44leaving a trail of blood.

14:45Can you remember what time Lukey came in?

14:49Lukey?

14:49No, I'm sorry.

14:50I can't, love.

14:52When I'm watching that Christopher Lee, I become quite oblivious to my immediate surroundings.

14:56I'm there, living every horrible moment.

15:00Oh, Charlie might remember.

15:02Charlie's by the lodger.

15:04Want anything up the top, Doc?

15:05These gentlemen are from the law, Charlie.

15:07Oh?

15:08Asking questions about Lukey.

15:10What's up?

15:11Were you in last Wednesday night?

15:12Wednesday?

15:13Yeah, why?

15:14Did you see Lukey?

15:16I didn't see him, but I heard him.

15:18You heard him?

15:19Well, the flash weren't working.

15:21I was trying to watch the film, see, Lukey kept pumping it.

15:23Right next door to me room, right bleeding racket.

15:25What time was this?

15:28Dunno.

15:29Just after the film started.

15:32Half eleven, I suppose.

15:34Why?

15:36I ain't gonna be all right soon, son.

15:37Got the ambulance on the way.

15:40Has anybody got time for a ratepayer?

15:44How can I help you, madam?

15:46Don't you madam me.

15:47You know who I am.

15:48Mrs Ricks.

15:49My daughter has just received a ridiculous phone call from that look, Mr Sparrow.

15:54Oh.

15:54And I've left her in tears.

15:56Oh, dear.

15:56Now, what is all this rubbish about?

15:58I really can't discuss it.

15:59He says he's been arrested.

16:00I'm sorry, Mrs Ricks.

16:00Well, what's to be done?

16:01I can't discuss it out here.

16:03You're not much use for anything, are you?

16:04I don't suppose you even know whether he's here.

16:06He's in with Inspector Regal.

16:08Oh, where?

16:08Which room?

16:09He can't go in.

16:10Oh, we'll see about that.

16:11You'll have to wait.

16:12Wait?

16:13I have not got time to wait.

16:14I am two hours behind schedule as it is.

16:17Now, I want to speak to that Inspector Regal now.

16:21Well, if you wait in there a minute, I'll have a word with him.

16:22Hmm.

16:23I don't know what the police force is coming to.

16:29She's in again.

16:32You got a fag?

16:39Excuse me, Gav.

16:40Can I, uh...

16:41Don't get too comfortable, son.

16:48Don't get too comfortable.

16:51That's yours, Regan.

16:52I heard that.

17:00When I told her you were unavailable at the moment, I thought she was going to stick one on me.

17:04The last time she was here was to report a man who exposed himself in Woolworths.

17:08She had half the CID out.

17:09They found him in the casualty department of the local hospital with a broken nose, where she lit him with her shoe.

17:15Well, if you're not out in half an hour, I'll ring the anti-terrorist squad.

17:18Yeah, thanks.

17:19Ah, are you this regal bloke?

17:29Regan.

17:30Oh, perhaps I can get some sense out of you.

17:32Mrs. Rex...

17:33Now, what's all this nonsense about Mr. Sparrow?

17:35Mr. Sparrow is assisting us with an inquiry.

17:38And what's that supposed to mean?

17:39Exactly what I said.

17:40He's assisting...

17:41Exactly what is he supposed to have done?

17:43I am not at liberty to discuss any charges at most...

17:46That's just about what it is.

17:47A bloody liberty.

17:49Are you aware that he is getting married tomorrow to my daughter?

17:53He did mention...

17:54And are you aware that he is due at St. Matthew's Church at precisely three o'clock for a full rehearsal with a very reverend Denison?

18:02Mrs. Rex...

18:02And are you aware that without the prospective groom there can be no rehearsal?

18:06And that without a rehearsal the whole thing will be a bloody fiasco?

18:09Mrs. Rex...

18:10Don't you shout at me!

18:14Mr. Sparrow will be released from this establishment when, and only when, I am fully satisfied that he took no part in a serious incident that we are investigating.

18:24What I want to know is...

18:26Certain inquiries are being conducted by another police officer at this moment.

18:31When he returns we might have a clearer picture of the situation.

18:34But if sufficient grounds for suspecting that Mr. Sparrow was involved or established, I'm afraid you may have to postpone the wedding.

18:43Postpone the wedding? Are you mad?

18:46I'm sorry if it causes any inconvenience.

18:49Inconvenience? I've got 60 guests arriving tomorrow from all over the country.

18:53I'm sorry.

18:54And there's £300 worth of food and drink being delivered, the cars have been booked, the organist, the choir, the hotel, honeymoon suite.

19:02And I've just bought 30 boxes of bloody confetti!

19:06Er, Skip, he's through there with Mrs. Riggs.

19:09How's it going?

19:11She's got a mouth like a blow lamp.

19:12And if I get no satisfaction, I shall go straight to Scotland Yard.

19:27Governor.

19:28Excuse me.

19:30Don't think you're just going to walk out of here.

19:32Jesus.

19:35Are you enjoying yourself?

19:36No wonder Lukey's got a shake on.

19:38Don't you slam the door on me.

19:42I haven't finished with you yet.

19:43I'll be back in a minute, Mrs. Riggs.

19:45Make sure you are.

19:46I haven't got all day.

19:52Look, there's this geeseer called Charlie Pierce.

19:53He lives in the same house as Lukey.

19:55He reckons that he heard him come in at 11.30.

19:57Definite.

19:59Well, what do you think, George?

20:01Well, it seems straight enough.

20:02I'll check with CRO.

20:03There's no form.

20:04Listen, I hate to say this, Governor, but I think Lukey might be telling the truth.

20:08You ought to have a quiet word with that bloody snout of yours.

20:11Don't worry, I will.

20:14You know, something in my water tells me.

20:17Governor, I don't see how we can hold him.

20:20Yeah, I suppose you're right.

20:23I suppose we've got to let him go, under the circumstances.

20:27At least they'll get jaws off your back.

20:29Yeah.

20:31And we'll know where to find him when we need him.

20:37She's here, isn't she?

20:44Not many.

20:46Next door.

20:47That voice.

20:48That voice.

20:49Is Linda like her?

20:51Do you know, I keep having this nightmare, Mr Carter.

20:54Waking up in ten years' time next to that.

20:56Teeth in a teacup, half a pound of spanners in her ear.

20:59You can go, Lukey.

21:01Honest?

21:02Yeah, Charlie Pierce confirmed your story.

21:05But I didn't see Charlie that night.

21:07Well, he reckons he heard you come in about eleven-thirty.

21:11Pull for you, Skip.

21:16If we find out Charlie Pierce's lighting,

21:19if we find out you're fibbing, Lukey,

21:22I'm going to come down so hard on you,

21:25you'll have to reach up to tie your shoelaces.

21:28Hello?

21:28Oh, it's you, is he?

21:31Listen, what's your game?

21:33Now, just listen to me, Nick.

21:34We pulled Lukey Sparrow, didn't we?

21:36And he was nowhere near the container depot.

21:38Is there a back way out of this, Nick, Mr Regan?

21:40You make me laugh, Lukey.

21:42Hold on, hold on.

21:42If it's you or her with me, son,

21:43you'd better start learning the early shuffle.

21:46Can her old man do an 18-peneth?

21:49Yeah, got that.

21:50Right, hold on.

21:52Where'd we find her?

21:53Erroneous identification.

21:54You dozy lugs.

21:56Do you think I've got nothing better to do

21:58than traipse around police station?

21:59No, you'd better be right this time, my son.

22:00Well, I'll tell you one thing.

22:02I'm not letting you out of my sight from now on.

22:04You can stay at our house tonight.

22:05That'll be nice.

22:06On the floor.

22:13Well, back to square one, George.

22:16No, not quite, Governor.

22:17That was my man.

22:18He said he got to whisper about Lukey from Mrs Clayton.

22:23Dave Clayton's Mrs.

22:30Yeah?

22:47We'd like to see Mrs Clayton.

22:48Shane here.

22:49Are you sure?

22:50Sard off!

22:52Who the hell are you?

22:53Miss Swainy, what's your mouth?

22:55What do you want, Regan?

22:56Want a little chat, Mrs Clayton?

22:57In private.

22:58I was just leaving.

22:59There's a coincidence.

23:00See you, Kev.

23:01Yeah, tell her, Bernie.

23:04He's a mate of Dave's.

23:06Really?

23:07Shared a Peter with him.

23:09He looked a bit nervous.

23:10Well, what'd you expect?

23:12How is I, Dave?

23:14Safely banged up.

23:15So what are you doing here, Regan?

23:16Like I said, just want a little joke.

23:18About what?

23:20Lukey Sparrow.

23:20Who?

23:21The Clapham Casanova.

23:23We pulled him for that mercury job.

23:24I don't know what you're lying about.

23:26Yes, you bloody do.

23:27A snout put Lukey's name in the frame for this job.

23:31He said you and Lukey have been making whoopee while Dave's been inside.

23:34And he said you got careless with your mouth and dropped Lukey in it.

23:37He is a bastard liar.

23:39So you don't know Lukey?

23:42That's right.

23:43And you don't know anything about the job?

23:45I'm on my own business.

23:48Is there a phone in this tip?

23:50Phone?

23:52We're going to have to pay a visit, George, with our old man in the neck.

23:56Dave, what for?

23:57Well, he might like to know that his mate's been sniffing around.

24:00What was his name?

24:00Bernie?

24:01Yeah, we might just mention Lukey as well.

24:03I'm sure Dave knows Lukey.

24:05I'm sure he'll be very interesting.

24:07You bastard, Regan.

24:08Very jealous man, your husband, isn't he, Mrs. Clayton?

24:10Very violent man.

24:12And he comes out in a couple of months.

24:14You evil pig.

24:16Look, Slag, I don't give a toss who you have in your bed,

24:19but don't you try and run your numbers on me.

24:22Now, you know something about that blag.

24:25Now, you've got a simple choice.

24:26You tell me what you know,

24:28or you get your arms broken when the old man comes out.

24:32Look, if I do give you a name,

24:34will you two swear it won't go further than these four walls?

24:37You're on.

24:39If he finds out I grasped him, it'd be more than broken bones.

24:42There might be some bread in it for you.

24:44Stuff your money.

24:46The name.

24:50Spooner.

24:51I'll be Spooner.

24:52That's all I'm saying.

24:54Yeah, that's all we need.

24:56I'll be Spooner.

24:58Well, that's more like it.

25:03Thanks for your cooperation, Mrs. Clayton.

25:20We've pulled Loki's barrel.

25:22Who?

25:23No, it's your turn in the barrel, Albie.

25:25You manners don't get any better, do they, Mr. Regan?

25:27Nor do your jobs.

25:29What's that supposed to mean?

25:30You bloody know.

25:32I do?

25:33You haven't got much imagination, have you?

25:35The last time you had done it was for half inching a load of nickel.

25:38Boffitt got chucked.

25:40Yeah, and we both know why.

25:43Insufficient evidence, the chocolate said.

25:45Yeah.

25:46Yeah, someone suddenly developed a severe case of amnesia, brought on by traumatic experience.

25:53Namely, having his kneecaps tucked with a coal hammer.

25:55Are you suggesting I interfere with a prosecution witness?

26:00Are you coming like that or you want to put a frock on?

26:02I'll change.

26:03But you're making a big rig, Governor?

26:05No, Albie.

26:06You made the rig when you did that container of mercury.

26:08Yeah.

26:10Oh, father!

26:35Stephen!

26:35Fuck!

26:38He's got away, George.

26:52The Olympic Selection Committee know about him.

26:56Your nose is bleeding.

27:00Must be the altitude.

27:08Oh, Lukey, I was ever so worried.

27:12It was all an unfortunate misunderstanding, love.

27:15A question of erroneous identification.

27:17But it all sounded so serious.

27:18What, were you being carted off to the police station like a common criminal?

27:22I never got me barnet cut or picked me suit up.

27:24Oh, this doesn't matter, as long as you're all right.

27:27You're all right, love.

27:28Hmm, a bit wobbly.

27:30I'd just be glad when it's all over so we can be by ourselves.

27:33Bloody right.

27:35I'm sorry Mum's been such an old cow.

27:37Well, she's not really like that, underneath.

27:40You might even get to like her.

27:42Will she get used to me?

27:43Of course she will.

27:50This is Mr. Spap...

27:55Luke.

27:56Luke?

27:57Now, there's an uplifting name.

27:59And this is the Reverend Denison.

28:01Pleased to meet you, Vicar.

28:03What a joyous occasion this is.

28:05If they haven't shipped it out already, George,

28:08that mercury's got to be somewhere.

28:11Then we're better than a building due to be demolished.

28:13Look at this.

28:26Oh, the contract files.

28:28We'll go through them.

28:29Make a list of all the buildings that Spooner's firm are going to demolish.

28:32There can't be that many.

28:33Okay, and then I'll check them out.

28:35Yeah, quick as you can.

28:37I'm going to give Charlie Pierce the quiet job.

28:40What do you think he's lying?

28:42Lukey Sparrow was on that job, all right.

28:46Yeah, but you said that Spooner said he never heard of it.

28:50Yeah, I'm sorry.

28:51He wouldn't admit to knowing his own mum, would he?

28:53I know for a fact that those two herbists did time in the same college.

28:57Listen, I reckon we ought to shift that gear before that bastard Regan gets onto it.

29:02Well, you arrange a transport.

29:03I'll get over there.

29:04I've got a contact in a cold storage place in Essex.

29:07We'll dump it there.

29:08Then listen, I'm going with it, and I'll stay out there until the scream's off.

29:13What are we going to do about that, Lukey?

29:16If that little snot's grass does, I am going to personally put his lights out.

29:20If Big Brother and me receive the slightest information that you've been putting it about a bit.

29:24Plenty of station with any bit of spare rattle.

29:26We're going to chastise you.

29:29Comprenez-vous?

29:30Who exactly are we waiting for, Mrs. Ritch?

29:33Uncle Billy, your worship.

29:35He's given Linda away, and Gloria, her best friend.

29:38She's maid of honour.

29:39I hope they arrive soon.

29:40Yes.

29:42Sorry I'm late, Mrs. Ritch.

29:43We must get on.

30:44Charlie Briss?

30:57Yeah.

30:59In.

31:00What do you think the hell you're at?

31:04My name's Regan.

31:06Flyer squad.

31:07Sweet.

31:08That's right, son.

31:10And you are in the manure, right up to your pink little ears.

31:13I don't understand.

31:15Don't give me any track, Charlie, or you might trip up them stairs.

31:18Doc!

31:19Doc!

31:20She's not in.

31:20She's out.

31:23That's all I got.

31:24We're all alone, Charlie.

31:27Just you and me.

31:29And I haven't got a lot of time to waste on rubbish like you, son.

31:33Now.

31:33You've been telling my sergeant fibs, haven't you, Charlie?

31:39You told him that Lukey was here last Wednesday, just after 11.

31:44I'd better have gone down in a written statement.

31:46You'd have purged yourself, Charlie.

31:48He was.

31:49No, Charlie.

31:50He wasn't.

31:51I heard him.

31:53You, Charlie, are a lying little toe rack.

31:57You don't know what it's like in the neck, do you?

32:00You can't breathe for the stink of sweaty bodies.

32:05Stale food and slop-outs.

32:08It's horrible, Charlie.

32:10And then there's the noise.

32:12Doors slamming.

32:14Keys rattling.

32:15Yard boots on the catwalk.

32:17The tannoy blurring out all day.

32:20Every day, Charlie.

32:22And then when they bang you up for the night,

32:24there's some hairy great con wanting you to be nice to him.

32:28You love that, Charlie.

32:30And then when you come out,

32:33well, you've got fun.

32:35No-one wants to know you, Charlie.

32:38You can't get a job.

32:39No-one will give you a room.

32:41You're a social leper.

32:44Villains use you.

32:45The cop has put you in the frame.

32:49You're usually back inside within a 12-month.

32:58I may have been mistaken.

33:03Really?

33:03How do you mean, Charlie?

33:09Well, eight days.

33:11It's over a week ago.

33:14I mean,

33:15it's difficult to remember.

33:17Did Lukey mark your card, Charlie?

33:21Eight?

33:21Oh, he can be very persuasive, can Lukey.

33:24I don't know nothing about nothing else.

33:25I thought you did, Charlie.

33:29We wouldn't be here having a friendly little chat.

33:32Now, we'd be down to Nick,

33:33and you'd be in a peter with my sergeant,

33:36who doesn't take kindly to a scrub like you,

33:38making a mug of him, Charlie.

33:41If Lukey ever finds out, I told you,

33:43it would shoot me.

33:44That, Charlie, would be a mercy killing.

33:49The organ will be playing.

33:51All eyes will be upon the bride.

33:52So, take your time, Linda.

33:54Don't be nervous.

33:55This is the happiest day of your life.

33:57Your boots, Billy.

34:05What?

34:06Your boots are squeaking.

34:08Speaking?

34:09I don't have to say nothing, Lord, do I?

34:11I'll see you after.

34:13Me battery's going.

34:16Is something amiss, Mrs Ricks?

34:18Oh, no, no, Vicar, thank you.

34:24Silly old sod.

34:27I hope you said your prayers, Lukey.

34:56What are you doing here, Stan?

35:00I told Albie he was making a rick recruiting you.

35:03I told him you didn't have no class.

35:06I warned him you was rent-a-mouth.

35:08Who is this lemon, Lukey?

35:10Shut your crack.

35:13I never said nothing to Regan on my life.

35:15Will you let me go?

35:17Exactly.

35:18Give me that, you...

35:20Leave him!

35:32Luke, he's scalping!

35:33I'm getting nowhere fast, Governor.

35:54How many left on the list?

35:58Two.

35:59Well, I'll take one of them.

36:06Hey, guys!

36:07Hey!

36:08Hey!

36:13Hey!

36:14Hey, son.

36:34You haven't seen a geyser with blonde hair running around here, have you?

36:37You sure?

36:40All right.

36:41Thanks.

36:41Bye.

36:47He's probably just gone for a walk.

36:49No, he's gone.

36:50I know he's gone.

36:52Poor old Lukey.

36:53Everyone just kept having a go at him.

36:55Where is he?

36:59He's flown.

37:00Little bastard.

37:02Stuff it.

37:04Leave it out.

37:05We'll find him.

37:25Put the word out.

37:27I want every pair of eyes and ears you can get out on the street.

37:31He can't have got far.

37:32There's a sentry in it for the face that spots him.

37:35This really is most inconsiderate of Mr. Sparrow, Mrs. Bricks.

37:38We're overrunning half an hour, as it is.

37:40Well, he has had a lot on his mind recently.

37:44I sincerely hope it's not going to be like this tomorrow.

37:47Of that, I can assure you, Your Honor.

37:50Yeah, I never did like churches.

37:52Get your boots on, Uncle Billy.

37:56Me dogs are barking low.

37:58Right now.

38:00Oh, well.

38:01And as for that Lukey, just wait till I get my hands on that tripound.

38:06It's all your fault.

38:07My fault?

38:08She don't mean it, Mrs. Bricks.

38:09Yes, I do.

38:11We didn't want a church wedding, Lukey and me.

38:13You hold your tongue.

38:14We wanted to get married quietly.

38:16The first time you brought him home, I knew.

38:18I took one look at him.

38:20Yes, and you made that very obvious, didn't you?

38:22Every time he stuck his nose through the door, you had a go at him.

38:24All those snide remarks.

38:26You've changed since you've been going out with him, my girl.

38:29You've got a very nasty tongue.

38:31Yeah, and you know where I get that from, don't you?

38:33Oh, he's even turned you against your own mother.

38:36You've been a right old cow to Lukey.

38:38Please, Miss Bricks, remember where you are.

38:40You keep out of it.

38:41Oh, I'm sorry, Your Highness.

38:45I think perhaps we had better adjourn this unfortunate gathering.

38:50Maybe tomorrow we'll all be a little more composed.

38:53But we're only halfway through.

38:55The boys will be in for choir practice any minute now.

38:57And stop that snivelling.

39:01And stop that snivelling.

39:01We're not going to talk about it.

39:02We're not going to talk about it.

41:05You are nicked!

41:15That only little bastard who grasped me, he's earned himself a spanky.

41:23Nice one, George.

41:47He nearly had me bleeding swede off.

41:49Luke, he's done a bunk.

41:50Don't blame him.

41:51What do you mean?

41:53The spoon has put the dogs on him.

41:55How do you know?

41:56He said he reckons Luke, he grasped him.

41:59He'll bloody kill him.

42:01If he's lucky.

42:06Hello?

42:09It's me, love.

42:11Lukey.

42:12Where are you?

42:13Listen, then.

42:14Meet me at the park.

42:15But, Lukey, I...

42:16Please, as soon as you can.

42:17Where are you?

42:18I can't talk now.

42:19Just do as I say.

42:20Meet me at the park.

42:22I'll explain later.

42:23Please, Lynn.

42:24All right.

42:25Don't tell no one.

42:26Who was that on the phone?

42:30Oh, Aunty Vi.

42:31She wanted to know how the rehearsal went.

42:32What did you say?

42:33Nothing.

42:33I said you'd ring her back.

42:34You didn't tell her about Lukey?

42:36No.

42:36Oh, good.

42:37I don't want her around here getting in the way.

42:39Where do you think you're going?

42:40I'm going for a walk.

42:41And I've got a date.

42:44You're not leaving this house.

42:46That wasn't your Aunty Vi on the phone, was it?

42:48Mum, I'm going for a walk.

42:50That was Lukey.

42:51What if it was?

42:52You are not leaving this house, my girl.

42:53Oh, come on.

42:54I've been going down the road.

42:56You're staying in.

42:57I'm not being a minute.

42:58I don't care, Aunty.

42:58You're staying in.

42:59I'm not having you going out and eating that little girl.

43:02Now then.

43:03We're going to stay in here until we get this sorted out.

43:05Come on.

43:24You're in the front room, Uncle Billy.

43:44Oh, oh, oh.

43:47Look, you can just get back in your car and bugger off.

43:51We want to talk to Linda.

43:52Well, she doesn't want to talk to you.

43:53How about letting her decide that, eh?

43:55This is harassment, this is.

43:56Mrs. Ricks.

43:57Oh, where do you want the wooden cake?

43:59Give it to me.

44:00Mrs. Ricks.

44:01Lukey could be in serious trouble.

44:03Just stay out of my house.

44:06Where is Linda?

44:07Look, you heard me.

44:09Out.

44:14Oi.

44:15Our mum's locked her in the lav.

44:19Caught her sneaking out to meet Lukey.

44:22Do you know where?

44:24Eh?

44:25Where?

44:26Where what?

44:28Where Linda's going to meet him.

44:30Uncle Billy!

44:32She's in the right mood.

44:39Oh, God, help!

44:41Mum, help me!

44:42Hey!

44:42Oh, help me!

44:49Hurry up!

44:52Mum!

44:54Help me!

44:55Don't move, love.

44:56Hurry up!

44:57Look, all right, all right.

44:58Don't look down.

44:59It's okay.

45:00Be all right.

45:04Don't look down, all right?

45:10It's no use, Cub.

45:10We'll never get her down from here.

45:12It's all right, love.

45:13Hold still.

45:15You silly bitch!

45:16Stay still, Linda!

45:18Oh!

45:19This is all your fault!

45:21Don't you ever let up.

45:34Jammed!

45:36Ladder.

45:37You got a ladder?

45:37Next door, Av.

45:38He's a window cleaner, but they're away.

45:41Mum!

45:42It won't be long, sweetheart.

45:44What the bloody hell?

45:46What's she doing up there?

45:47Your mum locked her in.

45:49She's stuck.

45:50She was trying to sneak out and meet that Loki.

45:53We couldn't find him.

45:54They're looking everywhere.

45:55All right, all right.

45:56Hold up.

45:57Please, no.

46:00Who are they?

46:01Coppers.

46:02The bell?

46:03Oh, just barged in.

46:04Pushed me out the way.

46:09What's your game, mate?

46:10We're trespassing on private property.

46:15He did that on purpose!

46:17You pillock!

46:21One more word from you and I'll nick you.

46:25Nice little dig, Cub, eh?

46:26He struck my rate.

47:36I know, love, but you don't want him hurt, do you?
