00:00Where's my cup of tea then?
00:15Where'dy?
00:18The kettle!
00:21Boiling its guts out here.
00:24I don't know why you don't check them Saturday night.
00:29Eddie?
00:39It's come up.
00:41You're right, Eddie.
00:44It's come up, love.
00:46What?
00:48I've done it!
00:50You mean?
00:51Seven draws, one no score draw.
00:54Twenty-three bloody beautiful points.
00:57There were only nine draws, so I've got to win something reasonable.
01:00Eddie, you sure?
01:01I've checked three times.
01:03Eddie!
01:05Eddie!
01:07Buddy, Buddy, Buddy.
01:08Oh, you little dolly.
01:10Buddy, Buddy, Buddy!
01:11Buddy!
01:12Buddy!
01:13Buddy!
01:15Buddy!
01:16Buddy!
01:17Buddy!
02:48You must be Cat.
02:50I've seen you with Jack.
02:51Yeah, he's my governor.
02:52Oh, you're George.
02:54Talks a lot about you.
02:55Does he?
02:56Says you're going to be his governor one day.
02:58Oh, no, thank you.
02:59Kept me into more trouble than he does now.
03:00I'll tell him that.
03:02At least then he'd have to buy the first round, of course.
03:04The biggest kick I got was going to my bank and handing over the check.
03:07I'll bet.
03:08First time I've ever seen a manager, let alone talk to him.
03:10Yeah, so was the kids behind the counter, innit?
03:13Straight out of school.
03:14Acne and bitten nails.
03:16Every time I go in the bank to get some cash, they look at me like I'm about to blag the place.
03:20Let me top you up, Jack.
03:21Oh, look, just a small one.
03:23Well, I'm on leave for a few days.
03:24I'm looking for a flat.
03:25I work for an estate agent.
03:28Do you?
03:30Well, maybe you could give me some free professional advice.
03:33I'd like that.
03:35Really?
03:35Well, I'm only a typist, really, but I love looking at property.
03:38Well, what about tomorrow?
03:41Well, it'd have to be lunchtime or evening.
03:43Well, if we made it evening, maybe we could go out for something to eat afterwards.
03:46I'm vegetarian.
03:48Oh, no, a great little vegetarian restaurant.
03:50You didn't laugh.
03:52It wasn't very funny.
03:53People usually laugh when I tell them.
03:56Don't drink too much of that stuff.
03:58It's only a soft drink, though.
03:59Make your teeth fall out.
04:00I don't really mind where I was.
04:01Has he told you he's a practising heterosexual?
04:04Has he told you he eats too much meat?
04:06Has Dad been bending your ear about his plans, Jack?
04:09Yeah.
04:09Couldn't happen to two nice of people.
04:11Except me and him.
04:12Here's to them.
04:14Yeah.
04:14Oh, and you haven't got a drink.
04:15What do you want?
04:16White wine.
04:17Right.
04:19You haven't met George before, have you?
04:20No, he's nice.
04:22He's a diamond.
04:24Is he the one whose wife died?
04:26Yeah.
04:26Yeah, but he's over it now.
04:28There you go, love.
04:30To Annie and Eddie.
04:32There.
04:33Cheers.
04:34And 23 points.
04:39Ah, there you are, Jack.
04:41What's up, gov?
04:41You're going to face as long as a baker's round.
04:43Come in the office.
04:44I'll tell you about it.
04:45That Balan for, come up on Monday.
04:52You've heard of the briefies.
04:53Bloody Hollingsbury.
04:55Yeah, if that one put his hand down at the lavatory, he'd come up with a box of chocolates.
04:58Yeah, well, even that scheming bastard's not going to get this one chucked.
05:00He might, if the lorry driver falls apart.
05:06Leave it out, gov.
05:07I had a call this morning.
05:10The legal eagles are worried.
05:12They think he's got a shake on.
05:13Has someone got to him?
05:15I don't know.
05:15But we'd better sort it out by Monday.
05:232394.
05:24Eddie Monk.
05:25Speaking.
05:26I hope you haven't spent it all, Eddie.
05:29Who is this?
05:30Shut your mouth and listen.
05:31You and the little team pulled a job 11 years back.
05:33Over Screaming Alice.
05:34Three of you.
05:34Sports Gear Factory.
05:36The night watchman was hammered.
05:37He's never walked since.
05:39It's still on the books, Eddie.
05:40And you know what the filth are like about unfinished business.
05:43It's going to cost you 10 grand to keep it that way.
05:45Who are you?
05:46I'm the man who can put you away with one phone call, Eddie.
05:4910 grand.
05:50Nah, that's generous, don't you think?
05:52What do you want me to do?
05:53Just deliver the money exactly as I say.
05:56No aggravation, Eddie.
05:58Or they'll pull you so fast your nose will bleed.
06:15He hasn't been to work all week.
06:37There's someone in there.
06:44Is he married?
06:46Divorced.
06:49Mr Pope!
06:52Morning, Mr Pope.
06:54I wonder if we could have a quick word with you.
06:55I'm not well.
06:56I'm sorry to hear that.
06:58It won't take a minute if you just let us come in.
07:00What do you want?
07:01It's about the trial, Monday.
07:04You got anything to tell us, Mr Pope?
07:05Tell you?
07:06Tell you what?
07:07We haven't been at work.
07:08We were concerned.
07:10I haven't been well.
07:12I just told you it's my stomach.
07:13Look, Mr Pope, this is bloody silly.
07:15Trying to speak to you through three inches of door.
07:17Just leave me alone.
07:18I don't have to talk to you.
07:21Leave it, Jack.
07:22But Frank...
07:22Come on.
07:27He's not going to turn up.
07:28He knows he has to.
07:29I'm telling you, Frank, someone's got to him.
07:31If we don't get him there and sort him out, we're in dead lumber.
07:34Well, the state that he's in, he's not going to open the door.
07:36Oh, bloody open it.
07:37Come on.
07:43Just give me ten minutes with him, Frank.
07:45Ten minutes!
07:47Get in.
07:47We've got to see tonight, all right?
08:00Eddie!
08:01Hello, Alan.
08:02I heard about you, Will.
08:03You've got the roller outside.
08:06Can we go somewhere private?
08:08Private?
08:09In a quiet little pub.
08:10Let's take a ride.
08:12What's up, Eddie?
08:17Go on, blimey.
08:24Oh, that's nice, isn't it?
08:26Hot and cold running rust.
08:28What's the asking price?
08:31Guess.
08:32Eleven.
08:33Nope.
08:35There's no more than twelve.
08:36Fourteen.
08:39Unbelievable, eh?
08:40Hmm.
08:42Cleaning those won't make it look any better.
08:44You can't be optimistic with a misty optic.
08:47I beg your pardon?
08:49It's an old ballad proverb.
08:51Does it indeed?
08:54Well, talking about optics, let's go and have a large one.
08:56Ha ha ha!
08:56I don't know who he is or where he got his information from.
09:12Well, not from you, not from me, and certainly not from Ken.
09:16He knows a lot, even about that poor bastard night watchman.
09:19Bear in mind me, it was a bloody nightmare.
09:21Yeah.
09:21After that job, I said to myself, that's it, son, no more.
09:24You don't need no more of that.
09:27The smartest decision I ever made, Eddie.
09:29Got a good business, a nice house, a smashing family.
09:34Eleven years.
09:35I'd almost forgotten about it.
09:37Of course, he must know about your win.
09:40No point in trying it on before.
09:41I didn't have nothing.
09:43What are you going to do, Eddie?
09:46What are we going to do, my son?
09:48Now, don't mess with him, Eddie.
09:49He sounds a nasty bastard.
09:51Pay up and shut up.
09:52It's the only way with that sort.
09:54You never did have any funnel.
09:57I'd like to kick his lungs in.
09:58If we don't come across, he'll turn us in no sweat.
10:01Now, please, Eddie, please.
10:03When was that?
10:08Yes, I see.
10:11Yeah.
10:13But in your opinion, he's well enough to appear in court.
10:20Yes.
10:21Well, I appreciate that.
10:24Yes, thanks very much.
10:25Goodbye.
10:28Pope's GP.
10:30He's been treating him for three years for a stomach ulcer.
10:33Ever since his divorce.
10:35The other day, Thursday, Pope went in to see him.
10:38In a hell of a state.
10:40Well, the doc calmed him down.
10:41Prescribed Librium and Mogadon.
10:43Well, you heard the rest.
10:44In his professional opinion, Pope is well enough to appear.
10:48Yes.
10:50On downers and sleepers, you must be joking.
10:53If we do get him in the box, he'll be like a bloody zombie.
10:56Oransbury will get the poor sod so confused,
10:58he won't be able to count to ten.
10:59Five months it's taken us to pull this case together.
11:05Five months.
11:06Pope can turn it septic in five minutes.
11:08And then a half.
11:13Then a half.
11:26I can't wait.
11:28I just want to use if I be able to rinse his breath.
11:30Oh, glory.
11:31Not bad.
11:31Not bad that I was taught.
11:32Not bad that I was a Pharisee.
11:33Not bad that I was intended.
11:33Not bad that I was good.
11:34And a half.
11:34Oh.
11:35Well, it's Gotcha that's right.
11:35I mean, anyways.
11:36Chillin', ain't it?
12:06Hey, say.
12:36I'm so glad I caught you, Mrs Monk.
12:41Please sit down.
12:42Oh, thank you.
12:51Is something wrong?
12:52I was more than a little concerned this afternoon
12:55when your husband withdrew such a large amount in cash, Mrs Monk.
12:58Large amount?
12:59The ten thousand from your joint account.
13:02Ten thousand?
13:03Ten thousand?
13:05My Eddie withdrew ten thousand?
13:07I'm so sorry, Mrs Monk.
13:09I hope I haven't been indiscreet.
13:10I naturally thought you would know.
13:12What time was this?
13:14Two o'clock.
13:16He's supposed to be at work.
13:18The cashier quite rightly came to me.
13:21I suggested to Mr Monk that if it was some sort of transaction,
13:24a certified cheque would be much safer and more convenient.
13:27He got rather worked up.
13:30Did he say what the money was for?
13:32No, no, he didn't.
13:34And quite frankly, I didn't feel he was in the mood to be pressed.
13:37Oh, you're early.
13:46Yeah.
13:48How was work?
13:49I got an headache.
13:50Sit down.
13:51I'll get you something.
13:52I was at the bank today.
14:06Needed a new cheque book.
14:13Eddie?
14:15What?
14:15What's the ten thousand for?
14:20The bank manager called me in.
14:22Told me.
14:25He's very concerned, Eddie.
14:26Yeah, well, he should mind his own sodding business.
14:28Well, it is in both our names.
14:30Look, I'm going out for a kip.
14:31I feel lousy.
14:32What's the money for, Eddie?
14:35It was meant to be a surprise.
14:37Now, that git sported all.
14:39What sort of a surprise?
14:42Well, I think I found a little business.
14:45In Whistable, the money was a down payment.
14:47In cash?
14:49That was part of the deal.
14:50Tax, you know what it's like.
14:52What sort of a business?
14:53What is all this?
14:55Well, we always talk things over.
14:59Decide on things like that together.
15:00Look, I'm feeling bloody rough.
15:02Where is the money?
15:03We'll talk about it later.
15:05Eddie, we've been married for 27 years.
15:08We know each other inside out.
15:10I'm not in the mood for this bitching.
15:12You're not telling me the truth, Eddie.
15:14You're lying to me.
15:16Oh!
15:17Oh!
15:18Oh!
15:22Oh!
15:27Oh, Anne.
15:30I'm sorry.
15:30I...
15:31I...
15:32I...
15:37I...
15:38I...
15:43I...
16:17Listen, hear me out, Mr. Pope.
16:21You realise you'll be in considerable trouble if you don't turn up as a prosecution witness on Monday?
16:25Who said I wasn't going to turn up?
16:27Look, I realise that the last few months have been a considerable strain.
16:30I only want to help you.
16:32And I can help you if you'll let me.
16:47Do you want one?
16:52No, no thanks.
16:55Mr. Pope, I've been a policeman for a long time.
16:58I've seen a lot of witnesses and been to a lot of trials.
17:01I know the kind of pressure you're under at the moment.
17:04If I'd known what it was going to be like, I'd look the other bloody way.
17:06Blind, deaf and dumb, three monkeys.
17:08That's favourite nowadays.
17:09Well, we're very grateful to you for your cooperation.
17:11Grateful? You must be bloody joking.
17:13Those men that are coming up for trial, they're animals.
17:17If you hadn't identified one of them, if you hadn't come forward when you did them,
17:20we haven't the hope in hell of finding any of them.
17:22Your evidence is crucial to the prosecution.
17:26I'm not going to lie to you, it's not going to be an easy case.
17:28They've got a very experienced brief and he's going to give you a rough time.
17:32But if you simply tell the court the truth, just tell them what you saw,
17:37then with that evidence and the other evidence we've got,
17:39we can put those bastards away where they belong.
17:41You said it's a dodgy case?
17:42I said it wouldn't be easy.
17:45What did they get off?
17:46What if this brief of theirs is sharper than your boy?
17:49They've come round here, they use my head for a football.
17:51I mean, they're evil bastards.
17:53Look what they did to the poor sort of a bank clerk.
17:55They blinded him.
17:56So what about me?
17:59You heard of a blind lorry driver?
18:00Father, have you been threatened?
18:04That's why you came, isn't it?
18:06Have you?
18:07No.
18:10Because if you have...
18:11You don't listen, do you?
18:13I told you I haven't.
18:18Is this what they call a pregnant pause?
18:21Hmm?
18:22What's wrong?
18:23You've hardly said a word all night.
18:25I'm sorry.
18:27Well, come on, tell Uncle George.
18:28Mum and Dad had a row.
18:32Is that all?
18:34God dear, my old pair always at it.
18:36They love a good row.
18:37But he hit her.
18:38He marked her face.
18:40He's never raised a hand to her before.
18:43What was it about?
18:45Money.
18:45He hasn't given it all to the Batsy dog's own.
18:50He drew £10,000 out the bank today.
18:53Cash.
18:54Mum didn't know anything about it.
18:56He never said anything to her.
18:58It was the bank manager told her.
19:01What was it for?
19:03Well, we gave her some story about it being a down payment on a business in Whitstable.
19:08Well, she knew he was lying.
19:09Ten grand.
19:11That's a lot of dough, isn't it?
19:13There's something wrong, George.
19:15Mum said he looked awful.
19:17And after the row, he left.
19:18She doesn't know where he is.
19:20It's all right, honey.
19:40We won't be alone.
19:41We won't be alone.
20:11There he is.
20:34Stay in the car, George.
20:41Hello, Eddie.
20:46What are you doing here?
20:47Just passing.
20:48Stop it, Regan.
20:50Come on, give her your ride back.
20:51Peace off.
20:52Come on, son.
20:54My missus put you two up to this, didn't she, eh?
20:57Didn't she?
20:58She's worried about you, mate.
20:59Stupid mare.
21:00But if you're in some sort of bother...
21:02What does she say to you?
21:05What's the matter with you?
21:06She told you, didn't she, eh?
21:07She haven't bloody told you.
21:08I thought we were close.
21:11Close?
21:12You can't get close to a bloody copper.
21:15Ten grand, Eddie.
21:16That's a lot of notes.
21:17Yeah, well, it's my money.
21:19My business.
21:20Not yours.
21:21Or his.
21:21It's my business.
21:22You get your face out of it.
21:24Eddie.
21:27Now, take it easy, mate.
21:28Get out of it.
21:36Just leave me alone, Regan.
21:39You.
21:39You stay away from my cath, do you hear?
21:42You stay away from cath, or whatever you...
21:43Oh, I told you, it's my business.
22:02It's all right, love.
22:02He's only pissed.
22:03Thanks, Jim.
22:04And you, too.
22:04And it's my money, so you get your face out of it.
22:07Can you get him upstairs?
22:08Oh, I'm sorry, Anne, love.
22:10Eddie, don't mind, Eddie.
22:11I could cut me hand off.
22:13It's all right.
22:14I'll go and make coffee.
22:14Come on, Eddie.
22:15You're out of here, you, Regan.
22:17Please.
22:17You stay away from my cath.
22:19You're all right, Eddie.
22:19Eleven.
22:21Eleven years.
22:23Eleven bloody years.
22:26We'll be downstairs, Anne.
22:27Okay.
22:32I'll...
22:33Oh.
22:34Come on, dear.
22:38You know half the money he spent getting in the estate, would you?
22:41Yeah, right.
22:43Oh, lovely.
22:44Sorry to spoil our night out.
22:47Tell you what, you and I have going to have a bunce in the morning.
22:49I've never seen him like that before.
22:53He's asleep.
22:54What happened eleven years ago?
22:56I don't know.
22:58Nothing.
23:00Any idea where the money is?
23:01Well, it's not in the house.
23:02We looked all over.
23:03I don't know what's got into him, Jack.
23:05I'll give you a bell in the morning.
23:07He might feel like telling you what it's all about.
23:16Went to see Pope again.
23:18What happened?
23:19He let me in this time.
23:20What'd you do?
23:21Hypnotise him?
23:22I want an elbow set up on him, Jack.
23:24He has been got at.
23:25I asked him.
23:27He got very offended.
23:29I think I believe him, but I'm not going to take any chances.
23:32He lived like a pig.
23:34The place stinks.
23:35He got through half a bottle of gin while I was there.
23:38On top of pills?
23:39He's just about holding himself together.
23:42Well, just so long as he doesn't come unglued before Monday.
23:46What about his phone, Frank?
23:47Can we put an ear on it?
23:47I've already got things moving on, that.
23:50If they have nobbled him, they've timed it perfectly.
23:53A right three-minute egg.
23:56Check on his divorced wife, would you?
23:58They might try to get at him that way.
23:59All right, good.
24:08Hello.
24:09Hello.
24:10I need another five grand.
24:12Drop dead.
24:13Now you listen good, you old pig.
24:28I want another five grand.
24:30If I don't get it, the filth will be banging on Alex Lehman's door.
24:32You should have stopped in bed, Eddie.
24:58I need a walk.
25:00What about breakfast?
25:00I'm not hungry.
25:01I'll make a pot of tea.
25:02I'm going for a walk.
25:04I'll come with you.
25:05No.
25:06Eddie?
25:09Eddie!
25:11He ain't gonna stop.
25:13He wants the lot, Alec.
25:14I told you he was in Ed Case.
25:16There's only one thing you could do with a dog like that.
25:19I don't know who he is, Eddie.
25:21We're gonna find out.
25:23How?
25:24I've got something worked out.
25:27Look, I ain't up for this sort of game no more, Eddie.
25:29Listen, you gink.
25:31You're part of this.
25:31I need you.
25:34I can't, Eddie.
25:35I'm gonna sort that slag, and you're gonna be there.
25:38You bottle on me, Alec, and I'll give you real grief.
25:41Yeah, he would.
25:43All right, I'll have a whirl.
25:43Morning.
25:44Oh.
25:44You're supposed to be on leave.
25:47I heard you needed help.
25:48Oh.
25:49My little crystal balls.
25:51Get out and find that flat.
25:53No, honestly, gov, it's driving me mad.
25:54I think I'll stay where I am.
25:56You're not due back till Monday.
25:59I couldn't stay awake, gov.
26:00It's that secretary, isn't it?
26:05On the next floor, the one with the arthritis.
26:08Oh, leave me out.
26:10Don't tell me you don't lust after her.
26:13Well, I didn't say I don't lust after her.
26:15Oh, leave me out.
26:22Mrs. Monk?
26:24It's Mr. Saxby.
26:26At the bank, yes.
26:28Your husband's been in again.
26:31I'm afraid so.
26:33Another 5,000.
26:35Cash again.
26:37Well, there wasn't much I could say.
26:45I'm afraid so.
27:15I don't want to.
27:16Number five.
27:21Let's do this.
27:24Let's do this.
27:34Oh, my God.
27:36Okay.
27:38Come on.
27:38Take care.
27:39Take care.
27:40Get out of here.
27:42Bye-bye.
27:42Bye-bye.
27:43Bye-bye.
27:43Bye-bye.
27:44Bye-bye.
27:44Bye-bye.
27:44Bye-bye.
27:44Bye-bye.
27:45Bye-bye.
27:45Oh, my God.
28:01Eddie.
28:02Eddie.
28:06Eddie.
28:15You take sugar, government?
28:36Yeah, a grape, too.
28:37No, he was dead when the ambulance arrived.
28:40Nought's opposite tomorrow, but his chest was all crushed up.
28:44No, I'm sorry, Jack. You two were close, weren't you?
28:47As close as a copper can get to a retired villain.
28:50I met him through Wally Half when I was at DC.
28:53About, er...
28:54It was 13 years ago.
28:56Wally got him the job at the power station when he came out of Nick.
28:59Wally Half.
29:00It's a name from the past.
29:04What about witnesses?
29:06Oh, yeah. Great, thanks.
29:08Well, we got the number of one of the cars.
29:11Green 1800. Stolen a few days ago from Finchley.
29:14And we weren't so lucky with the other.
29:16White, possibly foreign.
29:17Might have been R-registered.
29:19Plates were covered in mud.
29:20And the two drivers?
29:21Yeah, that one was a driver with a stolen car.
29:25He's 25-35 denims, black jacket 5'10", dark greasy hair.
29:30And he sounds a right hard case.
29:32He was giving a right hiding to chummy here.
29:34Nuts and clogs.
29:35He looks older.
29:37Yeah, round about 50.
29:39More conservative.
29:40Short hair, quiet suit, medium height.
29:44We think he was a mate of Monk's.
29:46How's that?
29:47Three of the witnesses said exactly the same thing.
29:49Said he seemed very distressed when he saw what had happened to Monk.
29:52Called him Eddie.
29:53You know, really confused.
29:55Though he didn't know what to do.
29:56Anyway, he steamed back to his car and took off.
29:58Any news on the stolen 1800?
30:00No, not yet.
30:01It'll tear it up, though.
30:03Would be handy for fingerprints, wouldn't it?
30:05Close.
30:06Well, he's probably got some previous, that cheese.
30:10Tell me, any of the witnesses mention a large brown envelope?
30:14No.
30:15Why?
30:16Eddie was carrying five grand.
30:18The bank gave him a large stiff-backed envelope to put it in.
30:24What was the money for?
30:26I don't know.
30:27But it was the second large cash withdrawal in 48 hours.
30:30How much the first time?
30:31Ten grand.
30:33Well, where did a power station worker get bread like that from?
30:36Have you been at it again, Jack?
30:38No, not Eddie.
30:39No, he's been straight for years.
30:40He won 58 grand on the pools.
30:43Oh, there's a turn-up.
30:45Poor bastard.
30:46Sounds like a meet-up.
30:47For a payoff?
30:49Between the hard case and Eddie Monk?
30:51Yeah.
30:52Pay off for what?
30:54I don't know.
30:55But I'm gonna bloody well find out.
30:57Can I take these?
30:58Yeah, sure.
30:59Here.
31:01Well, thanks a lot, Dave.
31:02Any time.
31:03But remember, Jack, anything you turn up, I want to know.
31:06And I mean anything.
31:08Certainly, Dave.
31:09You know me, mate.
31:20The doctor's been Jack.
31:21He gave an injection.
31:22But she won't go to bed.
31:24How are you, Kath?
31:26Still don't believe me.
31:28Look, Kath, is this a good idea?
31:30No, it's all right, George.
31:31I'm glad you came.
31:33She was asking.
31:36She may not make much sense, Jack.
31:38Five minutes, Kath.
31:40It's very important.
31:41I understand.
31:48Mum.
31:51And?
31:55He was only 50, Jack.
32:01Yeah, I know, love.
32:03You should have seen him when he was 20.
32:06Best-looking fella for miles.
32:09All the girls was after him.
32:12Right.
32:14We're gonna find out who did it.
32:16I was always dead plain.
32:19Hardly used any make-up.
32:23Used to sew all my own clothes.
32:26Couldn't afford to buy them.
32:29Mum.
32:31Jack's got a couple of pictures he'd like you to look at.
32:34Pictures.
32:36We thought you might recognise them.
32:40No.
32:43No.
32:45Who are they?
32:47Well, we don't know.
32:48We thought you might...
32:49No.
32:50I know him.
32:51I've seen him ages ago with Dad.
32:53How long ago?
32:54Oh, must be years.
32:56Six or seven.
32:57I'd just left school.
32:59Mum, are you sure you don't know him?
33:02I'm tired, Kath.
33:04I'm gonna lie down.
33:05We'll call in again tomorrow.
33:09Eddie used to say he was the only copper he knew who never made him feel like a thief.
33:20He worked hard, Jack.
33:23Harder than any man I know.
33:26He had a bad start.
33:28That's all.
33:30Bad stuff.
33:43Baskins has been screaming for you, Gov.
33:45Sod it.
33:47We'll drop George off to pick up his motor.
33:50Find Wally off.
33:53He was at this address 18 months ago, but he could be anywhere now.
34:02Find him.
34:03Show him these faces.
34:07He knew Eddie long before I did.
34:09So he might be able to put a handle on Eddie's mate.
34:12What, you'll be with Haskins?
34:13Yeah.
34:15Give him this.
34:19I owe it to him.
34:22Where the hell you been, Jack?
34:29On personal business.
34:31Are you gonna put that in your diary?
34:32Eddie Monk's been killed.
34:34Some greasy-eyed scumbag curved his chest in.
34:37I was with his wife.
34:39I'm sorry, I didn't know.
34:41Didn't he just...
34:4258 grand.
34:44All he wanted was a little shot by the seaside.
34:46What happened?
34:48He'll tell you when I find out.
34:49Who's on it?
34:50Dave Leiford.
34:53Well, what's so urgent, Frank?
34:55Pope's done a runner.
34:57He couldn't. The other.
34:58He's gone.
35:00Well, how did he get past them?
35:02Well, we'll sort that one out later.
35:04Did you get hold of his wife?
35:06No, not yet.
35:07What do you mean, not yet?
35:08Not yet!
35:09You had all day, Jack.
35:10He's playing silly buggers.
35:11He's not gonna go to the first place we're gonna look for him, is he?
35:13Easy!
35:14Wally.
35:44Wally?
35:45Come on, Wally.
35:46Oi.
35:47What the bloody hell?
35:48Who?
35:49Jack Regan sent me.
35:50Who?
35:51Jack you?
35:52Jack Regan.
35:53He's my DI.
35:54He says he owes you this.
35:55Well.
35:56Good old Jack.
35:57Good old Jack.
35:58Good cop is Jack Regan.
35:59I saw him everything.
36:00Everything.
36:01Did you know that?
36:02He's the guy in the....
36:03I'm with Ed.
36:04Who?
36:05Jack Regan sent me.
36:06Who?
36:07Jack you?
36:08Jack Regan.
36:09He's my DI.
36:10He says he owes you this.
36:11Good old Jack!
36:16Good cop is Jack Regan.
36:20That's what I'm everything.
36:23Everything.
36:24Did you know that, whatever your name is?
36:28George Carter. We have met.
36:46I got a mouth like a fireman's boot.
36:48You got any face?
36:50Yeah.
36:52What?
36:58Here, Taylor's.
37:00Yeah.
37:02Listen, mate, I've got some bad news for you.
37:04Bad news? What?
37:08Eddie Monk was killed today.
37:12Eddie?
37:14Jack wondered if you could identify either of these two faces.
37:24Eddie Monk, dead?
37:26He was killed.
37:28Eddie killed.
37:30Do you know who they are?
37:36Who?
37:38Who are they?
37:40Who are they?
37:42Do you know?
37:44Me?
37:46No, no.
37:48And I'll never forget a face.
37:50Are you sure? Look, what about this one?
37:52Of course. Of course I'm sure.
37:56Listen.
37:58I was nicking villains before your voice, bro.
38:02Do you know that?
38:04Whatever your name is.
38:06Eleven commendations I got.
38:10Eleven.
38:12Eleven.
38:14And I was the best bastard thief-saker there was.
38:20So don't you get bloody cocky with me, son.
38:26I told Jack Regan everything he knows.
38:32I don't like that.
38:34I don't like that.
38:48Poor old daddy.
38:50Dead.
38:52Heardy Monk.
39:00Poor old daddy.
39:02Dead.
39:04He's working as a part-time gateman in a bakery.
39:07There's a lot of room at the bottom.
39:09I showed him the faces, but in the state he was in,
39:11he wouldn't even recognise himself in the mirror.
39:13Anyway, I left him with him.
39:15Never know, in the morning he might be sober.
39:18When I first knew him, he was Teetotal.
39:21What happened?
39:23His wife died. Cancer.
39:32Detective Chief Inspector Haskins.
39:35Yes.
39:37Morris Pope.
39:39Bristol.
39:41In and out like a blatant fiddler's elbow.
39:47Get some glasses, George.
39:50What are we celebrating?
39:52Pope's turned up in Bristol.
39:55Bristol?
39:56He fell out of a train just as he was pulling into the station.
39:59He's got serious back and leg injuries.
40:02So that's it.
40:03That's Monday down the toilet.
40:05He was full of pills when they picked him up.
40:07They had to pump him out when they got him to the hospital.
40:10Why Bristol?
40:11Why not?
40:12It's far enough away from us.
40:14So what are we going to do now, Frank?
40:17Finish the bottle.
40:19Yeah, why not?
40:21Your bottle?
40:22No, as a matter of fact, it's yours.
40:23I borrowed it from your desk.
40:24Cheers.
40:25Hello, Jack.
40:26Hello, Wally.
40:27Have a drink?
40:28I know.
40:29Sit down.
40:30I, er, made a pratt of myself last night, Jack.
40:32I guess this I've come about.
40:33Is Eddie really dead?
40:34No.
40:35No.
40:36No.
40:37No.
40:38No.
40:39No.
40:40No.
40:41No.
40:42No.
40:43No.
40:44No.
40:45No.
40:46No.
40:47No.
40:48No.
40:49No.
40:50No.
40:51No.
40:52No.
40:53No.
40:54No.
40:55No.
40:56No.
40:57No.
40:58No.
40:59No.
41:00No.
41:01No.
41:02No.
41:03No.
41:04No.
41:05No.
41:06No.
41:07No.
41:08No.
41:09No.
41:10No.
41:11No.
41:12No.
41:13No.
41:14No.
41:15No.
41:16No.
41:17No.
41:18No.
41:19No.
41:20No.
41:21Look, mate, I'll eat a lot. I know, son, I know.
41:24But I've still got a bit put by.
41:26I'm not on the blacking yet.
41:29Well, I'd better be off.
41:31I've got an early appointment with my stockbroker.
41:35Why don't we meet somewhere tonight and have a...
41:39Well, I'm...
41:40I'm working tonight, Jack.
41:44Well, thanks again, Wally, for the...
41:46How's Anne? I mean, how's she taking it?
41:53Why don't you go and see her?
41:54Oh, she might not, uh...
41:57Well, I mean, um...
41:59Not at the moment. Maybe later.
42:02But you'll be going to the funeral?
42:04I don't think so.
42:07Well, no disrespect, Jack.
42:10Tell Anne, um...
42:12I just can't take funerals.
42:16White, foreign, or registration?
42:32Mud on the plates.
42:43Shut up!
42:46Calm down.
42:47God up!
43:06Go, go, go!
43:06Go, go, go!
43:07Go, go, go, go!
43:09Go!
43:11Go, go!
43:12Go, go, go!
43:13Go, go, go!
43:15Oh, my God.
43:45I'm too bloody old for all this.
44:15It was 11 years ago, to the month.
44:34There were three of us.
44:36Odie, me, and a fellow called Ken Norris.
44:39He shared a pita with Eddie in prison.
44:42He set the job up.
44:44Eddie didn't really want to know.
44:46Ken kept on at him, on and on.
44:49Like he had some hold over him.
44:52But in the end, Eddie said he would.
44:54He gave in.
44:55It was a cock-up from start to finish.
44:59A real tosser.
45:01The night watchman caught us on the premises.
45:04When he wasn't young, we could have legged it easy.
45:07But Ken was a vicious bastard.
45:11Oh, Eddie and me tried to stop him.
45:13Ken piled in like the lunatic.
45:15At the time, Eddie and me pulled him off.
45:20The fellow was a mess.
45:24The bloody nightmare.
45:25I still dream about it.
45:26All he got was 400 quid.
45:31This Ken Norris.
45:32Where did we find him?
45:33In the graveyard.
45:34He died six years ago.
45:36This bloke that killed Eddie.
45:38You'd never seen him before?
45:39Never.
45:40Different generation, mate.
45:43Who else knew about the black 11 years ago?
45:46Just the three of us.
45:47Eddie, me, Ken.
45:49No one else?
45:50What a bloody turn-up.
45:55Poor old Eddie hadn't run the pools.
45:58He'd still be alive.
46:00Kath, Jack.
46:03No issue.
46:05We'll be round later.
46:08You want a quick word with George?
46:09Just come in.
46:10Kath.
46:11Oh.
46:12Hello, love.
46:14How's your mum?
46:17Yeah, this evening, I think, yeah.
46:20No, no.
46:23No, I've decided to stay where I am.
46:24It's too much hassle.
46:26Yeah, okay.
46:28Yeah, I'll see you later.
46:29Ta-ra.
46:31We're gonna need a W.
46:34What, you got something on Norris?
46:36He was married, right?
46:37Two years after he dies,
46:38the old woman takes up with this young bloke.
46:4032.
46:42Brian Frederick Fisher.
46:44A dead ringer for the geezer we want.
46:46That's Fisher, S-C-H.
46:47Previous includes auto-theft,
46:49obtaining by deception,
46:50demanding money with menaces,
46:52et cetera, et cetera.
46:53A real little Christian.
46:58Well, that was six.
47:00This'll be a...
47:00This is Eileen Norris.
47:11Yeah?
47:12Detective Inspector Reagan,
47:13Detective Sergeant Carter.
47:14What do you want?
47:16Can we come in?
47:17No.
47:20This says we can.
47:31Where's Fisher?
47:33Who?
47:35Brian Frederick Fisher.
47:37You know, the fellow that goes around
47:38blackmailing and killing people.
47:40Eddie Monk's dead.
47:49Brian said that there was no trouble.
47:52He said it was easy.
47:54Where is Fisher?
47:56Gone.
47:58What do you mean gone?
47:59Gone out or gone?
48:01He did this.
48:02I told him 10,000 is a lot of money.
48:07Be satisfied.
48:09But no, he wanted more.
48:1010,000 is enough.
48:13He hit me.
48:16You give Fisher the information
48:17on the robbery 11 years ago.
48:20Your husband tell you.
48:24Just before he died.
48:29Fisher.
48:29He said he'd come back
