01:03Yeah, well, I'm not now, am I?
01:06Come on, just slow down.
01:07Come on.
01:10It's all right.
01:12It's all right.
01:13Oh, I'm sorry.
01:16Oh, I'm sorry.

01:22Oh, I'm sorry.
01:24Oh, I'm sorry.
01:25Oh, my God.
01:55Oh, my God.
02:25All right?
02:29Yeah.
02:36Look, four trips in a row he's coming here.
02:38Yeah, but what if this time he doesn't?
02:40Haven't I been right on every other job?
02:42That bird gave us the right day, didn't she?
02:44Right ferry, even.
02:46Anyway, if he don't stop here, we just catch him up and follow him till he does stop.
02:50Right.
02:52He'll stop here.
02:53The food's good.
02:55Foreigners don't eat your ordinary garbage.
02:56That's him.
03:20Did he mean us to follow him in?
03:29No.
03:30We stay with the truck.
03:32That's the arrangement.
03:33What do you mean?
03:37Mixed grill?
03:38Yeah.
03:46Are you sure that's our man?
03:48They haven't said to someone else.
03:49Nah.
03:50That's him.
03:51Looks a bit tasty, doesn't he?
03:52Ain't meant no matter, is it?
03:53How do you like him read it?
03:57It's written in Dutch as well as English.
03:59And what's he doing with that paper, eh?
04:01Eating it?
04:02Yeah, funny.
04:12Got a light, mate?
04:23What the hell are you doing?
04:44Hey, Will.
04:45God almighty.
05:07I can't stand him.

05:36Hey.
05:36Hey.
05:37Hey.
05:37Hey.
05:40Now the keys.
05:57The keys on the table.
06:04He ain't left the keys.
06:06He's still got his keys, Norman.
06:10You've forgot something, mate.
06:16The keys, you bastard.
06:21Nay.
06:22Not in touch.
06:24Come on.
06:26Nay, there's nobody there in the kitchen here.
06:28Nay, let's go.

07:36Hey!
07:40Who the hell are they?
07:41I don't know.

07:43I don't know.
07:43Get moving.
07:48Break the brake!
08:05Come on!
08:06Come on!
08:15Come on!
08:16Where to?
08:17Where to?
08:17Where we arranged.
08:18Not now, no!
08:19I told you, where we arranged!
08:20Where we arranged!
08:21I told you, where we arranged!
08:22What the hell is this?
08:24What the hell is this?
08:24Good God almighty!
08:25Good God almighty!
08:26Mitch!
08:26He's dead!
08:27Hey!
08:27Hey!
08:28What's going on here?
08:29Get out of here!
08:30Get out of here!
08:31Hey!
08:31How are you?
08:32How are you?
08:32How are you?
08:33How are you?
08:33How are you?
08:34How are you?
08:34What the hell is this?
08:39Hey, what's going on here?
08:39Get out of here!
08:40I'll shut off the old bus!
08:40Hey!
08:41Hey!
08:42He's dead!
08:43Hey!
08:43Hey, what going on here?
08:45Hey, get out of here!
08:46Here's get out of here!
08:47How are you?
08:49Now shut up.
08:50Don't yellяют!
08:51Hey!
08:52Interesting.
08:54Tam and grass tea!
08:55That has the rejuvenating effect.
08:59Do I need it?
09:00Hmm, you might.
09:02I talk a bit nice to me.
09:03Well, there's a drink.
09:03I told you, your planets are in a difficult configuration.
09:06Yeah.
09:07And you should let me work out your biorhythm someday.
09:09I will.
09:14What's this?
09:15The mouth. I've drawn it for you.
09:19The screaming shape I saw in the dream, that's it.
09:23Well, it's very nice, but what am I supposed to do with it?
09:26Keep it, you never know.
09:33You know what I think?
09:39I think that lemongrass tea can make me late for work.
09:47Who in the hell were they then?
09:48The driver was meant to deliver to us.
09:50That was the arrangement, wasn't our fault.
09:52Listen, we guaranteed that shipment.
09:54You want the Dutch mob coming over here after our bleeding, Nick?
09:57That's the murder case back there now.
09:59The place will be swarming with cops.
10:01We're in the woods here. All the cops are farmers.
10:03And besides, we've got this.
10:04To help us find that lousy English firm
10:06before the fingerprint department goes cross-eyed.
10:09What's that?
10:10Didn't see you in the gym this morning, George.
10:13Oh, just because you haven't had a smoke for six days,
10:15no need to carry on like Charles Atlas.
10:18What in this hell's front you're putting on?
10:20Just to pull a little innocent brand, freak.
10:23You can see it now, can't you?
10:25Top London cops seduced by old food, nymphomaniac.
10:28Pitiful.
10:29Creatures like her destroy homes, George.
10:32You think of the domestic bliss I'm saving somewhere
10:34by diverting her lust?
10:36She'll be getting overtime for protecting the public.
10:39Yeah, Regan.
10:41Right.
10:45Come in, Jack.
10:47Before the noise abatement society demand a prosecution.
10:50Sorry, Guff. That's the caffeine, you know.
10:52Worse than marijuana, that stuff.
10:53And very nearly as expensive. Sit down, Jack.
10:57I take it in your present state of piety
11:00you're not averse to the odd fine cigar after dinner.
11:03Are you asking me out, Frank?
11:06I've got my tracksuit with me today.
11:08No, uh, request from Kent.
11:13Lorry drag early this morning.
11:15Two dead.
11:16Fifty grand's worth of cigars.
11:18Last seen heading towards London.
11:20Go through the car, Jack, just in case the trail's still hot.
11:23Don't panic, Keith. You've got plenty of time.
11:36You're okay. Thanks, Harry. Local CID.
11:53What'd they have to say?
11:54It doesn't make sense, George.
11:56I mean, a firm of villains knocks over a truckload of Dutch cigars,
11:59suddenly a couple of blokes with Irish accents appear from nowhere,
12:02get shot at, leg it, and leave a stolen car.
12:06Two separate gangs?
12:08What, the same place on the same day, trying to hijack the same truck?
12:11No, I'm getting to one. Like winning the pools.
12:14People win the pools every week.
12:16Yeah.
12:18Well, that'd be nice, wouldn't it?
12:19I mean, look at that bleeding weather.
12:21You've got to be sitting by your pool, couldn't you?
12:24All brown, a bottle of shampoo.
12:26Oh.
12:28Still, we can all dream, can't we?
12:31Dream?
12:33Yeah, well, don't you?
12:45Norm, this is mad. You've got to get to hospital.
12:47Not yet. Get it inside.
12:48There's blood everywhere. You're bleeding.
12:50Outload it first.
12:53Shit.
12:55Go on!
12:57Cheers, mate. Thanks.
12:59Go.
13:00The wired photographs from Holland.
13:02They check out with a picture in his driving licence.
13:04Yeah, that's him all right, isn't it?
13:05All right.
13:06And they've found the lorry. It's there.
13:07Good. Tell it.
13:08I've also been on to see four about the other guy.
13:11It's all down there. He's got form all right.
13:13Let's have a look.
13:14But this bloke, according to Dutch police, no form.
13:16Well, is Deb sent now?
13:17Yeah.
13:18Were the people in the cafe sure it was the Dutchman's shooter?
13:22Sure as they'll ever be.
13:23And both cars were stolen. No dabs.
13:25Mm.
13:26Well, keep chasing the egg.
13:27Okay, gov.
13:28Okay, thanks.
13:29All right, let's have a look at Sleeping Beauty.
13:31Here's Don Sharples.
13:32Two previous convictions for extortion and a three and a half for GBH and robbery with violence.
13:41Don Sharples.
13:42He nutted me once about seven years ago. I still got the bump.
13:46Okay, Tom.
13:47Hold on, Norm.
13:48You'll be all right.
13:49They've got all kinds of machines now.
13:50Replacing some things like that.
13:51You'll be all right.
13:52You see if you won't, son.
13:53I'm telling you, we can't take the drop tomorrow. No, the weather's too shaky. Look, I assure you, everything is okay. I will call again tomorrow at the same time. Okay?
14:07Nick. Nick. If we don't find that load, we're dead.
14:27We're dead.
14:36Scott!
14:37Don, I'm going to stay with you.
14:38I'm all right now, leggy.
14:40Nurse!
14:43From these tire tracks, I would have said the changeover lorry could have taken a lot more than half the load.
14:48Well, maybe someone was too badly hurt.
14:50I want a sample of the cigars for the flyer.
14:53Scott, Matt.
14:54Stop.
14:57Yes, Tom?
14:58Geezer with a fresh bullet wound is dying in Hammersmith Hospital.
15:01He's been identified.
15:02Description matches one of the guys at the cafe, and he may still be able to talk.
15:05Check it out.
15:06What about the fingerprints from the Dutch?
15:08Tomorrow evening, they said.
15:09I thought we were the inefficient cripples of Europe.
15:13What about Sharples?
15:14Nothing.
15:15Stephanie CID thinks he stayed in dig somewhere in King's Cross.
15:18The local Nick have never heard of him.
15:20Okay.
15:21And tell those Dutchmen to get their fingers out.
15:24Right now.
15:25Yeah, aren't these the cigars that that bird with the wet t-shirt uses on telly?
15:28I love those adverts.
15:30You remember the ones where she's standing under the waterfall with no bra on?
15:35Then she starts running towards in slow motion.
15:38Bumbling about.
15:40Oh.
15:41Mind you, my mum hates them.
15:43Says she's going to write to Mary Whitehouse about it.
15:45Come on.
15:46I'll spell it.
15:47I'll spell it.
15:48I'll spell it.
15:49Find out.
15:50Anfangivo
16:03Beep.
16:04Beep.
16:06Beep.
16:07The old Bill wouldn't let them say it was Norman Charles unless it really was, no, would they?
16:34You know a lot, don't you?
16:36Yes.
16:36Do you recognize that by any chance?
16:41It's Don's.
16:42It's Don Sharpeau's, isn't it?
16:44That's right.
16:45Now, we're looking for the last of the three musketeers, and a little birdie has told us that you might know him.
16:51Now, we're in a position to be of considerable help to him.
16:54Considerable help.
16:56Am I making myself quite clear?
16:59Who, uh, who are you?
17:01Well, you know who we are.
17:03Well, um, I'll see what I can do.
17:09That's a good lad.
17:10Jeff, isn't it?
17:12Make it fast, Jeff.
17:14We're in a position to help you, too, if we have to.
17:17Hello, Jeff.
17:31Hello, Keefe.
17:33Well, I'm here.
17:33What do you want?
17:34Have you seen this?
17:35Well, of course I've seen it.
17:38Now, listen.
17:39You know nothing, right?
17:40If the old bill comes nose around, you don't say a thing.
17:42No.
17:42I'm going to get some cigarettes.
17:46I'll see you in a bit.
17:54Hello, Keefe.
17:56The sergeant and I would like to ask you a few questions.
18:00What about friends, acquaintances, people he went with?
18:05Norman wouldn't want to get anyone into trouble.
18:07No, no, no, no, of course not, no.
18:09You just take your time.
18:11Uh, excuse me, Governor.
18:16His granddad made that key.
18:20He was a locksmith.
18:23He was well known.
18:25He made a key for the Prince of Wales.
18:27What does it open, love?
18:32The yard shed.
18:34Your backyard?
18:35No.
18:37Our yard.
18:38My own.
18:39He was a builder.
18:42Your husband?
18:45Norman's going to sell the yard.
18:47The baby?
18:59Which one is it?
19:01Which one is what?
19:01What are you talking about?
19:03How does he know?
19:03The driver knew the markings.
19:05Is this the whole load?
19:06You ain't the law.
19:08Where's your cards?
19:09We don't carry cards.
19:10We're a special branch.
19:11Yeah.
19:13Special.
19:14Like Saturday night.
19:15What are you doing?
19:16No.
19:17No, don't.
19:46Oh, blimey.
19:56What do they keep in here?
19:56Elephants?
19:58Yeah, they're that or they're left in a hurry.
20:03The un...
20:04Gardner.
20:05Gardner.
20:12Still warm.
20:15What do you reckon?
20:16A fight over the split.
20:17Well, at least we know where the rest of the load is.
20:21Gov?
20:22Yeah.
20:25Looks like it.
20:25That's the lot, then.
20:52Good.
20:54Have some of this.
20:58Oh, that's better.
21:00Is that safe?
21:01It is until we get ourselves sorted out.
21:04What time it is over there now?
21:066.15, is it?
21:07Is it a now's difference?
21:08Yes, I think it is.
21:12Here you are.
21:13Use this.
21:13Make sure that bloody thing doesn't come open.
21:15Sure, Mick.
21:35Hey!
21:37Come on over here, hey!
21:38You lazy old bugger.
21:40You lazy old bugger.
21:42Take this rubbish out to the bin.
21:49This place is looking like a bloody pigsty.
21:53Yes, Finbar.
21:55Now, I shouldn't have to tell you, should I?
22:00No, Finbar.
22:02Gov.
22:16I've checked it.
22:18The entire load's complete except for one case.
22:21How many cigars is that?
22:22Well, one case is 50 boxes.
22:2450 cigars a box, that's two and a half thousand cigars.
22:26Okay.
22:27Yeah, cheers, Dave.
22:28Well, this time, check the weight of the whole load
22:30against the waybill at customs.
22:31Right.
22:33Yeah, right.
22:35Okay, thanks, love.
22:36Tell them, mate.
22:38Confirmation.
22:38Those prints are Keith Wilson's.
22:41One case.
22:43I don't get it.
22:44Well, maybe they heard us coming and legged it
22:46before they could take any more.
22:48Yeah, but those cases weren't stacked up, were they?
22:50They were scattered about, ripped open.
22:52Only some of them.
22:53That could have happened in the struggle
22:55before Wilson got shot.
22:56Why top a bloke for a few lousy smokes?
23:03It's ridiculous, isn't it?
23:04I stopped smoking
23:06and spent the whole of me waking life
23:08looking for cigars.
23:09At least you cut it down a bit.
23:11We were looking for half a million.
23:13At least you cut it down to a few thousand.
23:15It's not bad going, is it?
23:18Here, put the kettle on, Tom.
23:19Do you think Maeve's going to like her new piano?
23:31Why don't you just take them down
23:32in a couple of suitcases?
23:34Suitcases look too suspicious coming out of here.
23:36Pianas don't.
23:42Ta.
23:42Ta.
23:42Ta.
23:42Ta.
23:49You just don't see it, do you?
23:53What?
23:56Well, it's a coincidence.
23:58Has to be.
23:59Look.
24:00I know you think I'm out of my tree, but...
24:04Well, that dream.
24:07I've just remembered something else.
24:09Look, if everyone has nightmares...
24:11You were...
24:12trapped.
24:15In a narrow place, and...
24:17and there was this huge thing
24:20bearing down on you
24:21to crush you to death.
24:24Sounds like the barmaid at my local.
24:26Did it have a blue hair rinse
24:27and look like George III?
24:29Don't condescend.
24:33It's part of a pattern.
24:37Lemongrass?
24:39Hmm?
24:40Yeah.
24:42Don't you like it?
24:44No, no, it's very nice.
24:46It's, it's, it's just, um...
24:50I think it's working.
24:54Yeah?
24:55Yeah, I've got that.
24:56Thanks a lot.
24:58Yeah, ta-ra.
25:00Kilburn CID.
25:01There's a geezer called Hay
25:02who's been knocking out cigars
25:03in a pub called the Duke of York in Kilburn.
25:05Let's get down there.
25:07Could do with a punt.
25:07The, uh, office is an office break.
25:10You know that.
25:11Cheers.
25:12Four.
25:13Aye.
25:14That's a quick.
25:20That's him.
25:21He's got dozens of them.
25:23Shall we pull him?
25:24He'll probably give us a pull.
25:25Would you be, uh,
25:37wanting some cigars?
25:39You what?
25:40Pound for five.
25:44All real, huh, man?
25:45I bet I don't rob you.
25:46She's smoking.
25:47Five for a quid?
25:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:50Would you be, uh,
25:50wanting a few?
25:52All right, I'll have them.
25:53How many you got?
25:55Uh,
25:56many what you want.
25:57How many you got?
26:01What's up?
26:02This place is usually
26:04crawling with a spice of branch.
26:06The IRA, you know.
26:08But I can smell them
26:09a mile away.
26:11Out the back.
26:18All right, buddy.
26:19What's your name?
26:20Where do you get these?
26:21What?
26:21My name, my name,
26:24my name, my name,
26:24Tony Hay.
26:25Tony Hay's my name, Tony.
26:27But, Mindy, I didn't steal them.
26:28No, I didn't steal them
26:29because, you see,
26:30this place where I worked here,
26:32there was this rubbish.
26:32I was throwing this rubbish out here.
26:34Tony Hay!
26:36You are about to sit
26:38the final examination
26:39for the Chinese Civil Service.
26:41The, the, the, the, the what?
26:42They had only one question
26:43and no time limit.
26:45Tell me
26:46all
26:47you
26:47know.
26:48Can I help you?
26:54No, no thanks.
26:55We're just looking around.
26:56You in the thread?
26:57Yeah.
26:58No, we haven't got very much
26:59in at the moment, I'm afraid.
27:01Yeah, I can see that.
27:02Good time.
27:19I'm afraid
27:20that's not for sale.
27:22Your key's a jam.
27:23I said
27:24it's not for sale.
27:27Yeah, all right.
27:27I didn't see a lot of...
27:44Hey, keep the heat in.
27:46Yeah, sure.
27:50There's a piano in there
27:51and it's nailed down.
27:53Anyone inside it?
27:54It doesn't work either
27:56so why would anyone
27:57nail down a piano, eh?
27:59Well, if they're
27:59sending it to be repaired.
28:01No, you're right.
28:03What's this game?
28:05Oi!
28:06Oi, hold up!
28:08Stop!
28:09Are you bleeding, are you?
28:10Oi!
28:11Oi!
28:11You stupid bastard!
28:25Can you hear the shouting?
28:29What's going on?
28:30What's he doing on my van?
28:32You what?
28:33Look, he knew we were behind him.
28:34How the hell could he see
28:35his mirror's broke.
28:36Oh, is he?
28:37What the hell were you doing
28:38down the alley anyway?
28:39I was taking a leak, Seamus.
28:41And the next time I see your face
28:43I'll do it on that.
28:55Those bastards tried to kill us?
28:57Nah.
28:57What?
28:58Nah, we just got the refs
28:59yellow card, that's all.
29:01Two blokes trying to stop
29:02that juggernaut at the coffee.
29:05Yeah, one big, one small, right?
29:07Well, at least I didn't think
29:08we were old Bill.
29:09I mean, even a Mick with a grudge
29:11isn't going to try
29:11knocking off a copper, right?
29:12Yeah, unless he had
29:13something worse to hide
29:14and we're scared.
29:17So we steam in with a warrant?
29:18We don't know
29:19what we're looking for, do we?
29:21And don't forget
29:21that old tea leaf, hey,
29:22probably accounts
29:23for the rest of the cigars.
29:25So what do we do, then?
29:28Do you believe in dreams, George?
29:31Sorry?
29:32Maybe they'll leave
29:34a window open tonight.
29:37We can just pop in
29:39and see if there's been
29:40a burglary.
29:43If you're in mind,
29:44he should have been a criminal.
29:46Has Sergeant Carter
29:47gone home too?
29:48Yes, sir.
29:49Call him.
29:50No, no, no, no, leave it.
29:52Give me C-11, would you?
29:54Yes, sir.
29:54Yes, thank you.
29:57Duty officer?
29:59Oh, hello.
30:00Haskins, flying squad.
30:01Couple of names for him.
30:02Yes, sir.
30:03Farrell, Michael.
30:06Flynn, Sean.
30:09Used furniture shop
30:10in Kentish town.
30:12Full check, sir.
30:13Yes, anything you've got.
30:15Right away, sir.
30:16Up here.
30:29Up here.
30:43Yes, sir.
30:44Good job.
30:52Yes, sir.
30:53Good job.
30:55Yes, sir.
30:56There it is.
31:26Where are we going to get into this?
31:32My mum had run like this.
31:35I can't do it.
31:51Is that H?
31:56No, it's not heroin.
32:01I reckon it's cocaine.
32:17At this stage, who cares, Jack?
32:19We just go in full blast and grab them with the stuff.
32:21Just make sure everybody's tooled up.
32:22There's been enough blood spilt on this one already.
32:24Hang about, Gav. These two fellas could be just the tip of the iceberg.
32:28A major international drug wreck.
32:30Farrell and Flynn.
32:32I suppose the obvious has occurred to you.
32:34I've got an Irish grandmother.
32:36And we do know you're a terrorist, Jack.
32:38Look, Gav, I've been playing hunches on this case, I admit.
32:42But so far they've worked out.
32:44And the IRA don't push drugs.
32:46Everybody knows that.
32:47All right.
32:49But when you get off your hunches, let's hope your joints don't creak.
32:54You know, Gav, for you that's not bad.
32:57Let's go.
32:58Let's go.
32:59Let's go.
33:00Let's go.
33:01Please.
33:02Let's go.
33:03Let's go.
33:34That's the one I have in mind here.
33:38Right.
33:56Works.
34:04That's the stand.
34:16You've got the clock.
34:18There's your commode.
34:20Come into the office and I'll give you a receipt.
34:24Do you know Castle Street changes its name five times before it gets to the ring road?
34:30Do you still cough a lot in the mornings?
34:32No.
34:33Oh.
34:34Oh.
34:35Oh.
34:36Oh.
34:37Oh.
34:38Oh.
34:39Oh.
34:40Do you know Castle Street changes its name five times before it gets to the ring road?
34:44Do you still cough a lot in the mornings?
34:48No.
34:49No.
34:50Oh.
34:51Oh.
34:57Hello.
34:58RDF from Oscar 24.
35:00I think we're on the move.
35:01Give us position fixes as soon as you've got them.
35:04Roger.
35:05Standing by.
35:06Gov.
35:07There's a van.
35:08Blue and silver.
35:09They're loading something.
35:10I'm on the blind side and I can't see what it is but it needs three of them.
35:27I'll go!
35:28I'll go.
35:29I'll go.
35:30Okay then.
35:31Clear.
35:32Van's started.
35:33It's on its way now.
35:35Okay, Tom.
35:37There he is.
35:41There he is.
35:45We'll get you in a minute.
36:15Yeah, just check in. We can still see them.
36:21You're right. It works.
36:32Gov. Tom.
36:36Yes, Tom?
36:38The old lady's still in there, locked up.
36:40But she's not wearing her earpiece anymore.
36:42Buggered.
36:44The wonders of science.
36:46We're all right, Tom. We're on our way.
36:49Hold on. Shouldn't you get it back?
36:51Bearing in mind you nicked it from C-7 in the first place.
37:12Hold on, government.
37:13Here we go. Back to the drawing board.
37:24He's designing one of these of his own. To his plans.
37:25Those two men, Flynn and Farrell. Yes, they do have criminal records of the Irish Republic.
37:39But, well, they are emphatically not connected with any known political group.
37:44Emphatically? Why emphatically? Frank, I can only tell you what I think you need to know.
37:51You know, Steve, sometimes I think Special Branch are in a totally different police force.
38:08Two years ago, they were both thrown out of the IRA.
38:15It seems they had ideas that were too wild, even for the provos.
38:19They were liabilities, I suppose. Fanatics.
38:22How do we know this?
38:23Well, Farrell, he's the real lunatic. He was accused by the provos of absconding with some of their funds.
38:28I.e., bank loot.
38:30And donations from little old ladies in Boston.
38:34And why are they still alive?
38:36Well, it's rumour there's a contract out there.
38:38That's not just a crafty IRA cover story.
38:41Frank, I've already broken rules.
38:44Look, two of my best men are at risk on this.
38:48And I'm not going to be fobbed off with any Special Branch need-to-know rubbish.
38:51If there is any more information about those two that is necessary for my men to know
38:55in order to do their job properly and safely, I will damn well have to be told.
38:59Well, the present street value of what those mix are sitting on is a million quid.
39:04Now, there are at least two dealers who would put it up in used notes at two hours' notice.
39:08I was personally off for 10% just to make the connection.
39:14God bless you.
39:15Well, the next time someone says stick it up your left nostril, your eyes really will water.
39:20Keep saying we're in the wrong game.
39:25Regan?
39:26Jack, I asked you to chase up a lorry load of cigars.
39:29You recovered the lot in no time at all.
39:31You also turned up a load of heavy drugs.
39:34And in all probability, you solved a cluster of killings.
39:38Now, why not settle for that? Let's get out while we're ahead. What do you say?
39:42We've got no clean dabs in at Builders' Yard, Governor.
39:45We still haven't cracked that stock fiddle where they brought in the extra weight on the lorry.
39:49It wasn't even listed.
39:50They could get away with a million quids worth of snow.
39:54Frank, we've got the most sophisticated listening tackle C7 have developed.
39:59Standing by to follow that piano to John O'Groats if necessary.
40:03You said that before.
40:04Oh, Jack. What's going on?
40:19Couldn't sleep.
40:21What's this?
40:25Plain, ordinary tea.
40:28No.
40:29This?
40:30Oh, it's just a doodle.
40:31I told you, I couldn't sleep.
40:32Looks like a child.
40:33Horrible kid with glasses.
40:34Yeah, it's me.
40:35I had a repressed desire to murder me dad and run away with me mother.
40:38Oh, no.
40:39Those are Bristol's.
40:40I think it's your blue-rince barmaid.
40:41Hello?
40:42Gov?
40:43It's Tom.
40:44They're moving the Joanna.
40:45I'm on my way.
40:46Just coming up to the law at turn off.
40:47Thanks.
40:49I've found that I'm in the middle of the window.
40:52I don't know what to say.
40:53I don't know what to say.
40:54It's not that I'm in the middle of the window.
40:55I think it's your blue-rince barmaid.
40:56Hello?
40:57Gov?
40:58It's Tom.
40:59They're moving the Joanna.
41:00I'm on my way.
41:01Just coming up to the law at turn off.
41:08Thanks.
41:11Turn off.
41:12Thanks.
41:15Do you want one of these, Scott?
41:17No.
41:25They're off the main road.
41:27They've taken the B road towards Northland.
41:41They've turned west again.
41:43Must be a small track or a field.
41:45It's not marked on the map.
41:46In a field?
41:47Hello?
41:48They're stopping.
41:49It must be a meet.
42:02My God, you've grown an inch taller in a week, huh?
42:05Be glad you haven't a sister, Mick, huh?
42:07They make you feel inferior.
42:09Is your mum at home, Mick?
42:10Aye, she didn't say I couldn't, my face.
42:12We've a lot of work to do before we can have that.
42:14Come on.
42:24Right, radio's silenced.
42:25They might have a tune-up.
42:26Get to a phone, Bill.
42:28Put the squad on standby,
42:29but no one moves into the area till I give the word, right?
42:32Oh, and get some cigarettes, Bill.
42:34Right.
42:40Why not call the boys' house straight away?
42:42Uh, suss it up first.
42:43Don't want anything going off at half a cup.
42:45That's their position, sir.
42:46Mr. Regan said you'd give the word.
42:48Yeah, right.
42:49Thanks, Daniels.
42:50On the A15.
42:52Well, an inquiry was made three months ago to the United States.
43:04To the manufacturer of an automatic sighting rifle in Utah.
43:07It's the most advanced thing of its kind in the world.
43:10It operates by laser beam.
43:12Now, several of these rifles have gone missing from their factory.
43:15What sort of inquiry?
43:16Oh, just specifications.
43:18Type of ammo, how the laser beam works.
43:21The usual sort of thing from a would-be purchaser.
43:24The inquirer claimed that he was the editor of a rifle club magazine here in England.
43:27So?
43:28What?
43:29The address.
43:30It was the same as that second-hand furniture business.
43:33I think the great silver bird, he comes, senor.
43:49Yeah, I think you're right.
43:51Gringo.
43:52Now, any terrorist group's going to give its high teeth to get its hands on a rifle with
43:57a laser sight?
43:58All the more reason to check it out seriously.
44:00Oh, look.
44:01Your furniture boys didn't seem to be in that league.
44:03That's a ton of money in you's fibers.
44:05They're not in white gold.
44:07How many of these things did the American factory report missing?
44:10Five.
44:11Means there'd be more of them to handle.
44:13Two crew at most.
44:14It's not going to be a jumbo coming in here, is it?
44:17No.
44:18I want twelve men, fully armed, and five cars outside the front now.
44:23I want tear gas, masks, walkie-talkies, loud hailers, full ambulance facilities, the lot.
44:35There you go.
44:36It's ham?
44:37It's all.
44:38What is ham?
44:39I'll have ham then.
44:42It's all.
44:46Governor?
44:48Here we go.
44:49I wish he'd stop tinkling that thing.
44:51Well, at least we know they've taken the stuff out of it.
44:53That could be it, couldn't it?
44:54I wish he'd stop tinkling that thing.
44:55Well, at least we know they've taken the stuff out of it.
44:58That could be it, couldn't it?
44:59That could be it, couldn't it?
45:00I wish he'd stop tinkling that thing.
45:01Well, at least we know they've taken the stuff out of it.
45:02That could be it, couldn't it?
45:15I could be a good name.
45:45Just the one pilot.
46:04Makes three fellas and the girl.
46:05You take the fellas, I'll take the girl.
46:08Cheers.
46:10What's that?
46:12Dunno.
46:13So what happened to the cocaine?
46:15Could be a swap.
46:16What now?
46:17What do you think?
46:19Well, the message was for us to wait until the cavalry gets here.
46:21It could be a way by then, George.
46:23Well, you're the governor, I suppose.
46:25That's right.
46:27We're making for the barn.
46:30Come on.
46:42It's all there.
46:45All right.
47:01All right.
47:01Well, what a beauty.
47:08You see that, man?
47:10It's waiting up while you see it.
47:12What a beauty.
47:15That's our boy.
47:16Oh, look at that.
47:22Got it, Fitz.
47:24Now, let's see what she can do.
47:26Right.
47:26Give it a try.
47:27All right.
47:28Police.
47:30Now, put that down.
47:32Very gently.
47:35Okay, fellas.
47:35All right.
47:36All right.
47:37Don't panic now.
47:37Don't panic.
47:38Come on.
47:58Come on.
47:58Jack.
48:14Are you all right?
48:17I'm all blind.
48:18Where's that thing?
48:21I don't know.
48:23Where's the pilot?
48:26I don't know.
48:27You killed my brother.
48:46Hold on, love.
48:48Keep coming up.
48:49Put that down.
48:50Now, don't be silly, love.
48:51Put it down.
48:52Nobody wants to hurt you.
48:53Now, just put the gun down.
49:20Gunner!
49:24My retinas are okay.
49:25I've just got to keep the bandages on for a bit.
49:28That's good news, isn't it?
49:31Governor?
49:32Oh, cheers, George.
49:35Now, you may not have heard.
49:37The pilot was forced down.
49:39Organized crime in America had the guns.
49:41They exchanged them for cocaine.
49:43Yeah, straight swap.
49:44Those two nutters were going to use the rifles
49:45to buy their way back into the IRA.
49:47It would have been a disaster.
49:49You don't have to tell him, do you?
49:51You've got a fag, George.
49:53Yeah, of course.
49:54Smoking in bed is dangerous.
49:56Yes, I know, love enough.
49:58Everything he does in bed is dangerous.
50:01Not half as dangerous as what she does.
50:05Get your laughing gear around now.
50:12I can't taste it.
50:13That's it.
50:14I can't to kill her.
50:29I can't do anything like that.
50:32No problem.
50:33I can't to kill her.
50:34All around.
50:35I have to kill her.
