00:00Satsang with Mooji
00:30What you doing trying to draw this tree isn't it a bit cold to be outside not
01:00Harry the Worm. One day Harry the Worm tunneled out of his hole to find that he tunneled into jail.
01:16As soon as the robbers saw him they said how on earth did you get him here?
01:21All right children. Carry on with the Regan. I'll be back in a minute.
01:25It's Mrs. Regan isn't it? Yes.
01:27She's got an appointment at the school dentist. 11 o'clock. Didn't she tell you?
01:32Yes. Yes she did yesterday. Sorry I'm a bit late. But Susie didn't come to school this morning.
01:37She did? Well she isn't here. I thought you kept her home for the appointment. She must be here.
01:47Susie? What time did you leave home this morning? The usual. Quarter two.
01:51Can I have your attention please children? Has anybody seen Susie Regan this morning?
01:55No. In the playground? No.
02:02She's got to be here somewhere. She's just got to be.
02:06She's got to be. Go to my house.
02:14Alright.
02:22Bye.
02:24Bye
02:24Well
02:25Bye
02:25Bye
02:28Bye
02:29Bye
02:32Bye
02:33Bye
02:34Bye
02:35You know, I was looking at a list.
02:50There's millions of pounds worth of jewellery and private saves all over the country
02:54that a handcuffed chimpanzee could open.
02:59What does your nose tell you then, Stan?
03:05It's definitely on, Mr. Egan.
03:09You know I wouldn't let you down.
03:11You haven't done. Yet.
03:13Did you cover those people I mentioned?
03:15Yeah, I've been asking a lot of questions, getting nowhere.
03:19Has to be a new firm, then.
03:24Yeah, yeah.
03:26If anybody knew, they'd cut my heart out.
03:29You know, put your ears about against, then.
03:32I'll see you at the same time next Thursday, right?
03:35Thursday.
03:35I could be arrested for what you were thinking.
03:43You could.
03:48Buttons, buckles, laces.
03:51Laces.
03:52Sort of patterned.
03:55She's very particular about what she wears.
03:58Long white socks.
04:00And coat.
04:02Dark blue duffel.
04:03With a hood.
04:04Now, how is her hair done?
04:13Like mine, but longer.
04:14With a fringe.
04:15I think Mrs. Egan, here's this important.
04:19What is it?
04:20Is there some news?
04:21I think Paul may be able to help.
04:23Did you see?
04:24Did you see who took Susie?
04:25You must tell us everything.
04:27Let me question Paul, Mrs. Egan.
04:28We've just got to get her back.
04:30Right.
04:32Now, do you know something, son?
04:33I saw Susie this morning.
04:37He lived just round the corner.
04:39What happened?
04:40She was in front, on the other side.
04:42Where?
04:43Right avenue.
04:45And you were a real detective, mister.
04:48Go on, son.
04:49There was a woman with a car.
04:50A woman?
04:51Yeah.
04:52A woman.
04:52She was talking to Susie.
04:55Then they got in the car, went up the road.
04:59You haven't booked your holiday period.
05:02I need to know.
05:03It's only bloody October.
05:04Can't it wait?
05:05August would be convenient.
05:07I'm still owed 11 days this year.
05:10Nine.
05:15Regan.
05:19This morning?
05:22Who's with you now?
05:24Yeah, I know him.
05:25I'll come right away.
05:27I need to know by Friday.
05:30Tuesdays and Fridays.
05:31I can't take her.
05:32Why not?
05:33I have to open the office at 9.15.
05:35It takes half an hour on the bus.
05:36She's only eight.
05:38A lot of kids of her age go to school on their own.
05:40Well, lots of mothers need to kick up the arse, then.
05:42Don't you dare criticise me.
05:46When will Knowles be back?
05:47He said seven.
05:50This neighbour's boy, where does he live?
05:53He can't tell you anything more.
05:55Where does he live?
05:56Oh, Jack, I know you.
05:57You've got screaming in there like a stuck pig.
05:59Why don't you think of me for once and Susie?
06:02Let Knowles deal with it.
06:04Isn't your case, anyway.
06:05It's my daughter.
06:07How many times have you been to see her in the last six months?
06:12Less than I wanted to.
06:13Twice.
06:14That's not fair.
06:15It's a fact.
06:19I phone her every week.
06:21That's not the same.
06:22I didn't come because of the situation.
06:30What situation?
06:31Your Aryan language laboratory boyfriend.
06:34That's all over.
06:36You didn't tell me?
06:39No.
06:41Well, what happened to true love?
06:43Holding hands into the sunset.
06:45Oh, you are a cynical bastard.
06:48Did he take his bed with him?
06:51Must be a good market in second-hand four posters.
06:54Among croat divorcees.
06:55So, we'll have to think of another excuse for not visiting Susie.
07:00If we ever get her back.
07:04Alive.
07:08I'm sorry.
07:09I thought it was all going to work out for you.
07:15So did I.
07:18So did I.
07:19Come in.
07:34You two know John?
07:35Hello, Jack.
07:37How's the division?
07:38Well, I get to eat.
07:39See the wife.
07:40Take the dog for a walk.
07:42I never had a dog.
07:43You had a wife?
07:44Who thought a policeman was a man on a bicycle with a funny hat and a pension.
07:47Well, you know the basic facts.
07:50I want the details.
07:52There aren't many yet.
07:53I've implemented all standard procedures.
07:55That sounds like section 10 from the Good Policeman's Manual.
07:59But then you were always one for standard procedures.
08:01And they get results.
08:03Sometimes.
08:04You haven't changed much, have you?
08:06I'm not sure how to take that.
08:08I thought you would have been promoted by now.
08:11What would I do with an office carpet and a tin of paperclips?
08:14What's happening?
08:16We're checking the description of the woman to see if she's known.
08:19Between 20 and 40, blonded, medium height, trouser suit, no distinguishing marks.
08:26We think the car was a Capri.
08:28Gold vinyl roof.
08:29Registration?
08:30He didn't notice.
08:32If he said she was wearing a moustache and driving a Rolls, you couldn't be sure.
08:36Not with a kid.
08:36Well, he seemed intelligent enough to me.
08:40Let me speak to her.
08:42No.
08:43Well, why not?
08:44Look, Jack, I do know how you feel.
08:46Do you?
08:47I sympathise, but this is division, and I've dealt with two other cases of this nature before.
08:52No, you listen to me.
08:54I don't give a toss whether you're the best bloodhound around.
08:57Some screwed up bitch has got my kid somewhere, and I'm going to find out where.
09:00Now, we can do this together, but don't you waste my time with departmental politics and bullshit.
09:06Look, Regan, I'm telling you.
09:07Stop it, you two.
09:07Stop it.
09:08Stop it.
09:08There is one thing that puzzles me, though.
09:16What?
09:17And if it had been a man instead of a woman, or if it had been the woman abducting a baby rather than an eight-year-old,
09:29then the psychological pattern would have been far more easily recognisable.
09:33Sexual or sick?
09:35Well, a woman abducting a grown child, I mean, it's unique in my experience, anyway.
09:39Look, there must be something you can do.
09:41Just standing here talking about it isn't going to find her.
09:44We'll find her, Kate.
09:52Not for me, thank you.
10:03That isn't going to help, you know.
10:05It hasn't been helping you for years.
10:11It hasn't been helping you for years.
10:13Oh, my God.
10:43I'm sorry.
10:53Regan?
10:58No.
11:00No, I told Haskins I couldn't make it till 3.
11:033?
11:05George Carter's still on sick leave.
11:10Any news?
11:12Nothing yet. I brought some photographs.
11:15Come in.
11:20Photographs?
11:21This woman may have been seen hanging around the school recently.
11:25You may have noticed her.
11:28It's worth a try.
11:30Who are they?
11:32They're basically women that have been convicted for child molesting.
11:36She's not blonde.
11:38She may have been wearing a wig.
11:41Oh, I'm sorry.
11:43It's worth a try.
11:46It's worth a try.
11:48Nothing?
11:49Nothing.
11:50Nothing.
11:51Nothing.
11:52I've also advised that a school that we want to keep this away from the media for the moment.
12:14Even the local press.
12:16Can it help?
12:17No.
12:18Especially since Sue is a policeman's child, you see every anti-copper crank that will
12:23be sending us in ransom letters.
12:48Regan.
12:49You got the shoe?
12:53I want to talk to Susie.
12:54She's safe and well.
12:55I want to talk to her.
12:56Don't waste my time, Inspector Regan.
12:59I was expecting a woman.
13:00Were you?
13:01What do you want?
13:02Your nose out of our business.
13:03What business?
13:04You know what I'm talking about.
13:05I'm not a bloody mind reader.
13:06Did you enjoy a chat with Proctor?
13:07How do you know what I mean?
13:08I'm beginning to.
13:09Forget about your enquiries, Inspector Regan, and you'll get your little girl back.
13:12When?
13:13Soon.
13:14Where?
13:15She'll be quite safe if you do as we say.
13:17Listen, you lay one sweaty finger on her and I'll kill you.
13:18If it takes me ten years, I'll find you and I'll kill you.
13:19Now that's a promise.
13:20You're wasting time again.
13:21What do you want?
13:22Precisely nothing.
13:23No more questions, no more enquiries and no more meetings with Proctor.
13:25And tell no one, no one about this call.
13:28As if you do, you could be very unfortunate.
13:29I'm not a failure.
13:30You're going to take me back.
13:31When?
13:32Soon.
13:33When?
13:34Soon.
13:35Where?
13:36She'll be quite safe if you do as we say.
13:37Listen, you lay one sweaty finger on her and I'll kill you.
13:39If it takes me ten years, I'll find you and I'll kill you.
13:40Now that's a promise.
13:41You're wasting time again.
13:42What do you want?
13:43Precisely nothing.
13:44No more questions, no more enquiries and no more meetings with Proctor.
13:47And tell no one, no one about this call.
13:49But if you do, you could be very unfortunate.
13:52And I promise you that.
14:07I sometimes hate this bastard place.
14:10It's a bloody holiday camp for thieves and weirdos.
14:14All the rubbish.
14:16You age prematurely trying to sort some of them out.
14:19Try and protect the public and all they do is call you fascist.
14:24You nail a villain and some punched up pinstripe hamster barrister screws it up like an old fag packet on a point of procedure.
14:33Then pops up for a game of squash and a glass of Madeira.
14:37He's taking on thirty grand a year and we can just about afford ten days in Eastbourne and a second-end cart.
14:46It's all bloody wrong, my son.
14:50Is he alright?
14:51He's still on sick leave.
14:52This won't take long.
14:53All right.
14:54Hello, Gummer.
14:55There's not much wrong with him.
14:56Yeah.
14:57There's not much wrong with him.
14:58Yeah.
14:59She won't let me go to the gym.
15:00Look at how I've got a gut starting.
15:01What, Gummer?
15:02There's not much wrong with him.
15:03Yeah.
15:04She won't let me go to the gym.
15:05Look at how I've got a gut starting.
15:06What, tea or coffee?
15:27Yeah.
15:28Uh, coffee, if it's not too much trouble.
15:31A coffee, if it's not too much trouble.
15:35I'm driving a man being at home all day.
15:37It's nice to see you, Gav.
15:38This isn't exactly a social call, George.
15:41No, I hoped it wasn't.
15:42You haven't heard? Oh, no, you wouldn't have done.
15:44Heard what?
15:46Susie's been snatched.
15:48Straight up.
15:50Who?
15:51Well, that's the point.
15:52They contacted me this morning.
15:55But I'm not to tell anyone I'd do anything about it.
15:58No-one else is to know they've contacted me.
16:01Not Kate.
16:03Not Alison.
16:05No-one.
16:20Obviously know about Stan Proctor.
16:22Well, he's convinced it's no-one he knows.
16:24A new firm?
16:26Yeah.
16:27They're an heavy duty at that.
16:29The irony is.
16:31I'm nowhere near them.
16:32Well, I must think you are.
16:36At some point during the last few days, I must have touched a nerve.
16:39Governor, you must have got very close to panic them into this sort of gig.
16:43Now, one thing's for certain, it's going to be in the next few days, right?
16:46And it's going to be a monster.
16:47Right.
16:48So what do you want me to do?
16:49You're not doing anything.
16:50Oh, haven't you got any shopping, love?
16:54You know what the doctor said.
16:56Leave it out, love.
16:58You can't let him be for five minutes, can you?
17:00Alison.
17:01I knew to get like this when he told me he was going back with you.
17:03All right, that's enough.
17:03I'm not embarrassed to speak my mind.
17:05Look, I wouldn't have come round if it wasn't important.
17:08Important?
17:09Anyone would think you were the only two coppers in London.
17:11He's sick.
17:12Yeah, I'm sick of sitting here day after day being treated like a bloody invalid.
17:18There.
17:19I'll be two minutes.
17:20You're going?
17:21Yes, I'm going.
17:24I'm sorry.
17:26No, you're not.
17:28I need him badly.
17:30I can't explain, not at the moment.
17:32It's personal.
17:33I'm beginning to know how your wife must have felt.
17:37You better start growing up, Alison.
17:39Now, face facts, you're married to a copper, and a bloody good copper.
17:42There's no need to swear.
17:43Now, he could go straight to the top,
17:44but he's going to need help.
17:45From you?
17:46Mostly from you.
17:47He gets that.
17:48Does he?
17:49I can't have an outfit.
17:50What about your coffee?
17:52Oh, I'm sorry, love, but I'll phone you.
17:55You got your pills?
17:56Yeah, me pocket.
17:58Make sure Mr. Haskins knows you about.
18:01I'll phone you later.
18:07Apart from the faces Proctor put me on to,
18:09I've been to see most of the major jewellers.
18:11Jewellery import people,
18:12insurance companies specialising in that area
18:15and banks with safety deposit jewellery.
18:18Now, it's got to be someone in one of those places
18:20that I made inquiries at
18:21and someone that knows that Stan Proctor
18:24is a little bird.
18:25Do you want me to check back?
18:27It's the only way.
18:29Could be dangerous.
18:31Not if we play it right.
18:32And how's that?
18:33You're from a special crime prevention squad.
18:37You're there to check their security.
18:39Alarm systems.
18:42Well, you tell them you did that course
18:43when you were away from the Sweeney, didn't you?
18:45That's right, yeah.
18:47Yeah, it might work.
18:48It's got to work.
18:49There is another way, Guff.
18:53What?
18:55Do as they say.
18:56So that they do the job and you get Susie back safe.
19:00No.
19:02No one could blame you.
19:03I could.
19:05Look, Jack, that little kid is...
19:06Now, look.
19:07I'm going to nail those pigs.
19:09God help them when I do.
19:11Try that one back now.
19:19I spoke to a man named Lamson.
19:22Governor, are you sure you want it this way?
19:24We don't have a lot of time, George.
19:41Mrs. Regan?
19:59Mrs. Regan?
20:02I thought Susie might...
20:04Just might.
20:07Can I give you a lift home?
20:09What?
20:10Home?
20:10It's on my way.
20:12Come on, you look tired.
20:14Yes.
20:15Yes, I am.
20:16The car's everywhere.
20:24If anything happened to Susie,
20:26I don't know what I'd do.
20:40I don't know what I'd do.
20:41I don't know what I'd do.
20:42I don't know what I'd do.
20:43I don't know what I'd do.
20:44I don't know what I'd do.
20:45I don't know what I'd do.
20:46I don't know what I'd do.
20:46I don't know what I'd do.
20:47I don't know what I'd do.
20:47I don't know what I'd do.
20:48I don't know what I'd do.
20:49I don't know what I'd do.
20:49I don't know what I'd do.
20:50I don't know what I'd do.
20:50I don't know what I'd do.
20:51I don't know what I'd do.
20:51I don't know what I'd do.
21:22So you're wasting your time, Sergeant, uh...
21:25Carter.
21:26Carter, yes.
21:29I've spent 15,000 pounds on making this place impregnable.
21:33A Swedish firm.
21:34They are the best, you know.
21:35Uh, they're very competent.
21:37No, they're the best.
21:39I went into it in great detail.
21:45Just out of interest, Mr, uh, Foss, what is the most that might be held here at any given
21:50time?
21:51Well, last year, apart from some lesser stones, I had some uncut emeralds, about, um, quarter
21:57of a million, I suppose, 400,000 altogether.
22:00That's a lot of money.
22:02Yes, I suppose so.
22:03Oh, sorry.
22:04Didn't know you had somebody with you.
22:05This is my son, Alan.
22:07Sergeant Carter.
22:09Special security.
22:10Checking up on us.
22:12Really?
22:13Oh, it's just routine.
22:14I cover a specific district every month, you know.
22:21Can I speak to Mr. Regan, please?
22:25When will he be in?
22:29Can you take a message?
22:31Ask him to ring Stan, straight away.
22:34Just Stan.
22:36Who's there?
22:47I know there's someone there.
22:51Uh, to your coffee, Carl?
22:54Uh, coffee, sir.
22:55Can I?
22:56Hello, John.
22:57Well, Jack.
22:58I'm very sorry.
22:59I've only just heard.
23:00There's anything I can do?
23:01Anything at all?
23:02Yeah, thank you, Frank.
23:03I have, of course, arranged compassionately.
23:05Well, that won't be necessary, but thanks all the same.
23:07Well, I naturally thought that you...
23:08No, Inspector Knowles is going to keep me fully informed.
23:11Well, I think he wants to stay out of it.
23:13Well, I couldn't be much help.
23:15Couldn't be objective.
23:16Well, Knowles is a good man.
23:18We just have to wait.
23:19That's the worst part, of course.
23:21Uh, how's Mrs. Regan?
23:23You're coping, just about.
23:25Is there someone else?
23:26I'm very sorry.
23:27I've only just heard.
23:28There's anything I can do?
23:29Anything at all?
23:30Yeah, thank you, Frank.
23:31I have, of course, arranged compassionately.
23:32Is there someone with her?
23:33No, she doesn't want anyone with her.
23:35I've phoned her sister, just in case.
23:37And I've given this number to the neighbours.
23:39Oh, well.
23:40As I say, if there's anything I can do.
23:42There was a telephone message from Stan.
23:45What did he want?
23:46I'll call back as soon as he can.
23:47Right.
23:48I didn't expect to see you until Monday, George.
23:50No, I couldn't keep awake, Guff.
23:51How are you feeling?
23:53Well, I could do 15 rounds.
23:54With the tea lady, I suppose.
23:58But still lose.
23:59Yeah.
24:01There you go, Guff.
24:02Cheers, sir.
24:03Cheers, sir.
24:06Hey, you haven't been watering this, have you?
24:08They don't like scotch.
24:14Is that engaged?
24:15Continuous tone.
24:21Detective Inspector Regan, I want a priority check on 246-9700.
24:26Just a continuous tone.
24:27Hey, Governor.
24:28Was that Ken Knowles?
24:29Yeah.
24:30He was here for about a year, wasn't he?
24:31Yeah, he was one of the bright boys for a while.
24:32Why'd he give it the old boy?
24:33He had a dog.
24:34Pardon?
24:35A dog.
24:36Oh.
24:37Was it reported?
24:39Out of order.
24:40The hairs on my wooden leg tell me that something is up.
24:41Hold on.
24:42Look, you simply must get some rest.
24:46Now, these will help to calm you down.
24:47And one of these, half an hour before you go to bed, will get you to sleep.
24:51But only one, is that clear?
24:52Yes.
24:53Now, you are not to drink at all alcohol.
24:54Is that quite clear?
24:55Yes.
24:56Look, these tell me that something is up.
24:58Well, hold on.
24:59Look, you simply must get some rest.
25:01Now, these will help to calm you down.
25:04And one of these, half an hour before you go to bed, will get you to sleep.
25:07But only one, is that clear?
25:08Yes.
25:09Now, you are not to drink at all alcohol.
25:12Is that quite clear?
25:13Yes.
25:14Look, these tell me...
25:15Yes!
25:16Yes!
25:17Uh, is there somebody who could come over and stay with you?
25:23No.
25:24Well, no family, no close friends.
25:28I've got a husband.
25:30An ex-husband.
25:31Susie's father.
25:33But he'll be too busy getting drunk with tarts for information
25:37or beating some poor devil half to death in an alleyway.
25:39I could stay.
25:40No.
25:47Well...
25:49I'll be back in the morning.
25:51Good morning.
25:53We'll be back in the morning.
26:13Oh, dear.
26:14At the back door?
26:15What?
26:16Look at the back door.
26:17Oh, dear.
26:19You're an old boy.
26:20Okay, you're an old boy.
26:21STAN
26:32Stan?
26:33Oh, no.
26:40It was out of order.
26:44George.
26:48They really laid into him.
26:50Poor little bastard.
26:5263, 5 foot 4 and asthmatic.
26:55He must have really given him a bad time.
26:58Yeah, he must have copped it in there and crawled out here.
27:01That's a long way to go when you're in that condition.
27:04Why?
27:07He could have been trying to get to the street door.
27:10Yeah.
27:11Or his coat.
27:20What was the name of that importer?
27:31Foss.
27:32Arnold Foss and son.
27:36Stated to date.
27:38Coincidence?
27:39I don't believe in coincidence when a man's been murdered.
27:42I don't believe in coincidence when a man's been murdered.
27:44I don't believe in coincidence when a man's been murdered.
27:46I don't believe in coincidence.
27:48Can He but happiness TV, a friend, his career negative coincidence?
27:50I don't think this guy's been murdered in my death and a man Jeremy move on and left the Unsur grain.
27:52And even after his second life, the American birthday party student was found.
27:55почему?
27:56donations to this guy that have heart cause problems so he would make better.
27:57You know they're named David Coglia.
27:58This may not be worth praising.
27:59What he did not think he could a young people's most likely accomplishments for him.
28:01Shut up.
28:02What are you trying to be doing?
28:04Hello. Yes. Who are you? Shouldn't that be my question? Where's Kate? Are you... Mr. Riggel.
28:30I'm sorry. Can I come in? Yes. Of course. Is she out? Asleep. How is she? The doctor was here earlier. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Doreen Alexander, Susie's teacher. Are you a friend of Kate's? No, not really. I know her through school. I saw her at the school this afternoon. What was she doing there?
29:00She said she thought Susie might turn up. Had she been drinking? I think so. The doctor's left us some tablets. She's taken one. Would you like a coffee? Something? No, no thanks. No, you get away. I'll stay with her now. Are you sure? Yeah, that's where I can.
29:22Well, I've got rather a lot of marking to do. Susie's lucky to have a teacher like you. I remember Miss Beeston. 60. Used to shave twice a day. Had a 50-inch bust, halitosis and knuckles like a nevy. Ooh, if she caught you talking.
29:44I might be like that one of these days. I don't think so.
30:14I don't think so.
30:44I've been trying to contact you. They thought you might be here.
31:05I'm coming.
31:14Where's Kate?
31:15Asleep.
31:16There's something about this case, something that doesn't fit.
31:19It doesn't make sense. The pattern's all wrong.
31:21I don't give much on patterns and formulas. You can't rely on them.
31:25And when they're not there...
31:26I've been searching for a motive.
31:29If it had been purely sexual, this woman would have done what she needed to and left Susie somewhere.
31:35Maybe.
31:37And if it was for any form of ransom, she'd be in contact by now some way.
31:41What would she be after? My silver-plated truncheon?
31:44If she was a complete head case, I think she'd have probably given herself away by now.
31:49She needed to tell somebody about it. Needed the attention.
31:53She'd been looking for the security of arrest.
31:56Now, what other motive might be possible in this particular case?
32:00You're doing the paperback psychology.
32:02Revenge.
32:04What?
32:06Well, it suddenly occurred to me, the obvious.
32:09You must have made a lot of enemies, Jack.
32:12Are you serious?
32:13It fits.
32:14Conveniently.
32:15Too conveniently.
32:16Well, it's worth working on, isn't it? It's damn all else.
32:23What do you want me to do?
32:24Right. I want you to go carefully through all the arrests you've made, the convictions you've got.
32:29Say over the last two years, to start with.
32:31To start with?
32:32Come on, this sort of resentment could go back years.
33:02Well, thanks.
33:04Thank you, Jack.
33:05You've made a reputation by following your intuition.
33:07Backed up by a lot of hard graft.
33:09Well, my intuition screams that I'm onto something.
33:12I've been listening.
33:13You should be sleeping.
33:14Is this true?
33:15Kate...
33:16As soon as he's disappearing, he's connected with Jack in some way.
33:18I think he might be.
33:19He's just sleeping.
33:20I don't know.
33:21I've been listening.
33:22You should be sleeping.
33:23Is this true?
33:24Kate...
33:25As soon as he's disappearing, he's connected with Jack in some way.
33:26I think it might be.
33:27He's just sleeping.
33:28It's okay.
33:29is connected with jack in some way i think he might be he's just guessing do you know something

46:46Listen, that ain't good enough, son. We've paid your bleeding, mate, enough.
46:50We'll make sure he's earned it, done his job properly.

47:44The kicking you gave him.
47:45Dirty, stinking little grass he is.
