01:21I want you to listen.
01:22Hello?

02:57Don't lose him.
02:59I won't.
03:00You said that the last time.
03:02Well nobody told me you'd got no entry, did they?
03:04Watch the road.
03:05All right.
03:06Not another one.
03:19It's not our night, Governor.
03:22When was it?
03:23Do you realise, George, that if this sceptered isle had not been forced to punse off the ARAP...
03:31Listen, Governor, I hate to mention this.
03:33Well, don't then.
03:33But it's your turn to do the business with you.
03:36Well, it wouldn't be safe, George.
03:38I had three large ones back at the crown.
03:40I know.
03:40I bought two of them.
03:42I did offer.
03:43It's not my fault of your drinking orange juice.
03:45Yeah.
03:46I'm trying to lose a few pounds.
03:49Yeah, who is she?
03:52Aftershave, haircut, bought a new whistle.
03:56Yeah, someone I've known for ages.
03:57We're getting secretive, aren't we?
04:01Here's one, George.
04:06A couple more and we'll call it a day.
04:09A couple more and it will be, Ty.
04:18I don't remember.
04:20Come on, you must.
04:21I can't.
04:23How should I know it was anything special?
04:25It's no good turning on me.
04:26All right.
04:27All right.
04:30I said it was a girl.
04:33Yes.
04:33No, which girl?
04:34Old girl.
04:34He didn't say.
04:38Did they say where they were going?
04:39No.
04:42Is there anyone else with them?
04:43I don't know.
04:47Did they ask for any money?
04:49No.
04:50Disco pub pictures!
04:52I don't know!
04:57Where are you going?
05:13Mind the store, George.
05:15What are you doing?
05:16I'll give you a bell.
05:18Hold up.
05:18Listen.
05:19What happens if Barton gets a...
05:20Basket!
05:21Basket!
05:30You can't do that!
05:31Oi!
05:31Wait a minute, I do remember.
05:37He saw this girl when he was somewhere with you.
05:40You sure?
05:41Quite sure.
05:42I can't remember.
05:51Wait.

06:41Knap him.
06:51Evening Sergeant.
06:53Evening sir.
06:54Where's Mr. Regan?
06:56Erm, he was taken shorter.
07:00When you do see him again, remind him he's working for me this week, will you?
07:04Serious crime squad. Not on one of his Sweeney raps.
07:08Yes, sir.
07:13All right! Cut it out!
07:17What are you trying to do? Wait, they're dead!
07:19Erica Taylor. But she lives here, doesn't she?
07:22What if she does?
07:23I've got to talk to her.
07:24Look, it's a quarter to two in the morning. Can't you come back later?
07:27I'm sorry, it's desperately urgent.
07:29What do you want her for?
07:30I've got to see her.
07:31Look, you can't go around.
07:32I've got to see her.
07:33Try again in the morning.
07:34No!
07:36I'm calling the police.
07:37Listen, I'm sorry, but I must find Erica.
07:41I'm Erica.
07:43Well, if you're going to talk, for God's sake, keep your voices down.
07:45Have you seen Paul?
07:50Have you seen Paul?
07:51Paul?
07:52Where is he?
07:53Paul who?
07:54Paul Ember.
07:56What happened tonight?
07:57What do you mean?
07:58Tonight, earlier on, what happened?
08:00Well, I haven't seen him.
08:01You must have done.
08:02No, I haven't seen him since last weekend.
08:06Are you sure?
08:07Yes.
08:08Yes.
08:12Have any idea what he was tonight?
08:15Not at all.
08:17You're Mr. Ember, aren't you?
08:19I've only been out with Paul twice.
08:21Do you know what I'm thinking?
08:22I don't believe it.
08:34You were thinking the same, weren't you?
08:35It's not possible.
08:36They caught up with us.
08:37That's what he did.
08:38Shut up!
08:40Oh!
08:41No!
08:42No!
08:43You know what I'm thinking?
08:45I don't believe it.
08:47You were thinking the same, weren't you?
08:52It's not possible.
08:54It's not possible.
08:57They caught up with us.
08:59That's what you do.
09:00Shut up!

10:14Sounds interesting.
10:16You still got that fair who used to mark the bottle?
10:19You know, the level with the pencil.
10:21No.
10:23He died.
10:24Or too much for him.
10:25Or too good for him.
10:26You know anything about a new firm?
10:35Mugging tourists.
10:37Schwarzes and Arabs, mainly.
10:39Robbing the rich to pay the poor.
10:41They're not poor, love.
10:42Every night is pay night.
10:45I can't help you much with the Arabs.
10:47They don't like us shixas.
10:48What?
10:49Nah.
10:50It's the Jewish chicks that turn them on.
10:53Bent little bastards.
10:55That and the gambling.
10:56Oh, yeah.
10:57They do like the flutter.
10:59Even with remission, none of them would be out yet.

16:15So either pee or get off the putt.

18:52As much as there was. Yep. Your time.
18:58Your alarm call. He's starting to get up. Thank you very much.
19:03Listen Governor. This bloke Ember. What did he do?
19:08It was before your time. I know that. Even so. What?
19:14Well you can't go around wiping old snorts noses all the time can you?
19:18All good stuff. Bank flags up Watford way. Was he a pro?
19:24Nah. He worked in a security firm. Little man with big dreams.
19:29What did you do? Drop him out?
19:31Something like that. Did you nick any names?
19:33Kiehl's. George Mahoney. Mad Mike Moss. Lot of three rounders.
19:38You were made up about that time weren't you?
19:40Gonna be a sergeant all your life.
19:43What a sergeant all your life.
20:13Delivery. Ask us in in case you're being watched.
20:20Pollution. They talk about pollution.
20:23You ought to see the garbage that's dumped in my cabs.
20:26Hosed out some of them. Dirty bastards.
20:29How'd they get hold of it?
20:30Half inched it. What do you think? They flagged him down?
20:32How?
20:33Cabbie gets a call. Can you come up to the ninth floor? We've got luggage.
20:36Luggage.
20:37I see. So while he's going up?
20:38Yeah, exactly.
20:39Do you know, in my office, I've got umbrellas galore.
20:43Sets of Nashers.
20:44Twenty pair of Palmers.
20:46Palmers?
20:47Palmers stores. Drawers.
20:48Inhabited.
20:49I should be so lucky.
20:51And every currency under the sun.
20:53You need a bloody degree to drive a flounder these days.
20:56No kidding.
20:57Oi.
20:58What time can I buy Le Figaro?
21:00Where can I get a whiskey sour?
21:02Where can I get the clap treated?
21:04What's on at the Paris Pullman?
21:06Listen, how long was it missing?
21:08Hour, maybe less.
21:10When do I get it back?
21:11Fingerprints. You know how it is.
21:13Every hour it's off the road, I'm losing money.
21:15Used to have a bit of class this town once.
21:18Now it's all drack.
21:19Shouldn't be allowed to put a truckers in a cab off of them.
21:22You love them, really.
21:25Monitor your calls.
21:27Soon as Grand Belly has fixed it, I'll get someone in to operate it.
21:30No.
21:31Well, why not?
21:33I don't want anybody else brought in.
21:34I can't do this on my own, you know.
21:36It's either that or not at all.
21:41All right.
21:44I'm running a check on all the slags you put away.
21:47See if any of them have been released yet.
21:50Method index?
21:52What, K for kidnapping?
21:54It's not that easy.
21:58What about informants?
21:59Trust you.
22:01Yeah, there's not a lot we can do until we find out why he's been snatched.
22:10This him?
22:12There are lots of photos.
22:14We got some eight millimetre film somewhere.
22:16I don't move it.
22:18Dig him out.
22:19What are his chances?
22:24Tell me who, why and how much and I'll answer you.
22:30Do I pay?
22:32You pay and you lose your money and your son.
22:40Bring it in with you.
22:50Morning, Governor.
22:53Ma'am.
22:54Sorry?
22:55I thought this was to be a three-handed meeting.
22:57Pardon?
22:58Where's your DI?
23:00Mr. Regan.
23:01Oh, he's out.
23:02Where?
23:04Seeking information.
23:06He seeks it here, he seeks it there.
23:09Rather a scarce character, Mr. Regan.
23:12Is he?
23:13On the missing list again last night, according to Commander Watson.
23:16Yeah, but that was call of nature.
23:18Which of nature's calls are we referring to, Sergeant?
23:21Or perhaps I shouldn't ask?
23:24Fact remains, another tourist mugging took place.
23:27Number seven.
23:28And you must have missed it by seconds.
23:30Yeah, but that's the name of the game, innit?
23:31I mean...
23:32Forgive me for being so literal, Sergeant,
23:33but I'd like to believe that we'd stop thinking of it as a game.
23:37Figure of speech.
23:38And started to consider it as our top grade A number one priority.
23:43Clear?
23:44Clear.
23:57Miss Taylor, Erica.
23:58That's right.
23:59Detective Inspector Regan.
24:01Oh.
24:02What about Paul?
24:03Come on in.
24:04Do you not work in the dam?
24:05I'm a morning off.
24:06Sit down.
24:07Thanks.
24:08Paul Embers disappeared.
24:09Yes, I know.
24:10How close are you?
24:11Nothing special.
24:12I worked at the branch where the embers banked.
24:13I've only been out with them twice.
24:14But not last night?
24:15It'll be engraved upon my headstone.
24:16How long have you worked at the bank?
24:17Three years.
24:18Any idea what sort of funds the embers have?
24:19Of course not.
24:20But you could find out.
24:21If I wanted to, yes.
24:22I'm not accusing.
24:23I'd hate to meet you when you were.
24:24I'd hate to meet you when you were.
24:25Why don't you help yourself to a drink?
24:34I'd hate to meet you when you were.
24:35Why don't you help yourself to a drink?
24:36No, no, no, no.
24:38I'd hate to meet you when you were.
24:39Why don't you help yourself to a drink?
24:41Oh.
24:42I've just been, I've just been out with him.
24:43I've only been out with him twice.
24:44But not last night.
24:45It'll be engraved upon my headstone.
24:46How long have you worked at the bank?
24:47Three years.
24:48Any idea what sort of funds the embers have?
24:50Of course not.
24:51But you could find out?
24:53If I wanted to, yes.
24:54Well, that's the best I've ever had all day.
25:01Within these four walls, not for publication,
25:06Paul's been abducted.
25:09Kidnapped?
25:10Sounds like it.
25:12No.
25:13Cheers.
25:22Tell me about the embers.
25:23I don't know much.
25:25Well, the little you do know.
25:27Do you mind if I carry on ironing?
25:29No.
25:31Helps me to think.
25:34I'll bring a couple of shirts round later.
25:38They're very nice people.
25:40Paul's adopted.
25:41Do you know that?
25:43No.
25:44No, I didn't.
25:46I hope you haven't done anything silly,
25:48like calling the big bad fuzz.
25:51No.
25:53Good.
25:54Good.
25:56Time to talk turkey.
25:58How much?
26:00Ten thousand.
26:02I can't.
26:03You will.
26:04Ten thousand.
26:05Used notes.
26:07Not more than four of it antennas.
26:10What then?
26:11Just get the goat.
26:19That's Paul's 18th birthday present.
26:21Nice one.
26:23Yeah, I used to have one of those.
26:25In me bath.
26:26You were only saying that because you know we didn't have a bath.
26:32Is that Amber?
26:33Yeah, that's her.
26:37Looks like it's scraping by, doesn't it?
26:39Well, you could say that.
26:41Got a boat yard.
26:42Doing a bum, apparently.
26:54In my office, two minutes.
26:56So?
26:58You got a razor?
26:59Yeah, my desk.
27:00I hope you haven't done anything silly, like calling the big bad fuzz.
27:09I'm going to the bank.
27:11But...
27:13What about the tape?
27:14I'll wipe it.
27:15They'll know.
27:16I'll wipe it.
27:17But we don't...
27:18Why, Riegel is not his son, is it?
27:20All right.
27:21Let's not mess about.
27:22What are you two up to?
27:23Up to?
27:24Up to?
27:25You have trouble with the English language, Mr. Riegel?
27:27No, so not usually.
27:30Nerves bad or was it the play?
27:32Someone's been sharpening pencils with it.
27:35Gambling clubs.
27:37That's what I'm on about.
27:39Gambling?
27:40The Arab bashing.
27:41Oh, yeah, of course, yeah, the Arabs.
27:47I'm right in assuming that your paths do converge, albeit occasionally.
27:53Yes?
27:55Yes, sir.
27:56I wonder if Frank Askins looks as if his ulcers are perforating.
27:59Governor, these muggings, out of the seven tourists that were mugged,
28:02four of them had something in common.
28:03They'd all been gambling at the same three gaming clubs.
28:07Well done, Sergeant.
28:08You were in on this, were you, Regan?
28:13When you weren't being taken short, of course.
28:15Oh, yeah, yes, sir.
28:17Yeah.
28:19Which three clubs?
28:21Er...
28:25It was Golden Guinea.
28:28And, er...
28:29Yes.
28:31Well, they all sound the same, don't they?
28:32A pair of jacks and a golden fleece.
28:35A pair of jacks.
28:36That's another one.
28:40I'll set up an operation.
28:42Be available.
28:44That's all.
28:45That was quick.
28:46He said it was urgent.
28:47It's about Mr. Ember.
28:48He came into the bank about an hour ago and went straight into the manager's office.
28:49A few minutes later, they were collecting up all the used notes.
28:50About £10,000 worth, somebody said.
28:52Interesting.

33:39I'm sorry.
33:40Sorry?
33:41Too late for that.
33:46No, please.
33:48I'm very disappointed in you, Mr. Ember.
33:52I thought you were brighter than this.
33:54It was a mistake.
33:56Please believe me.
33:57You should never trust the fuzz, you know.
33:59A awful bungler.
34:00I won't.
34:01I won't.
34:01I won't.
34:02I won't.
34:02I promise.
34:04We've heard your promises before, haven't we?
34:09Stop it.
34:10Stop it, please.
34:11I beg you.
34:12Stop it.
34:14One more chance.
34:16That's all I ask you.
34:17Just one more chance.
34:18I'll be right back.
34:19Hmm.
34:21We'll have to see.
34:22I'll be right back.
34:23I'll be right back.
34:25I'll be right back.
34:26Inside the Golden Guinea will be our friend here, Pink Jim.
34:45Or as he's known at the Stretford Road End, D.S. Jim Hinksman.
34:49He's with us because until last night, he'd never set foot in this fair city.
34:55Now, Jim will be in there playing blackjack.
34:58When he's a few grand to the good, he'll leave.
35:00Uh, yeah.
35:02How do we know he'll win?
35:06When Jim leaves, his winnings burning holes in his pockets, you and Sergeant Carter will follow.
35:11Same question.
35:12How do we know?
35:13Of course, at that particular table, the dealer, flashing her knockers to one and all, is policewoman Janet Reynolds.
35:23Take care.
35:26I don't suppose anything will happen till after dark.
35:29God, I'm scared, Al.
35:32Me too.
35:47You haven't sat your dud, then?
35:52You get any good presents?
35:55Well, that sounds expensive.
35:57Who was that from?
35:59I see.
36:00Well, when do I get my date, then?
36:05Yeah, yeah, I know.
36:06I'm sorry.
36:07Things have been a bit hectic.
36:10Is it?
36:12Yeah, we'll see you at the night.
36:14Cut now.
36:15Yeah, um, I'm sorry, lovey.
36:17I've got to go now.
36:19I'm glad you had a good time.
36:21Yeah, me too.
36:23Bye.
36:24I'm sorry.
36:27Okay?
36:30Kids.
36:32They're better than surgeons with a knife.
36:39Come on, then.
36:39Drive slowly up and down the North End Road, from the Market to the Fulham Road.
36:47A Blue Viva will pick you up.
36:49Follow it.
36:49Don't lose it.
36:50Never thought it'd be this easy.
36:56Told you.
36:58Like the tash.
37:01Lon Chaney, man of a thousand faces.
37:04Thing is, you see, Paul, it's like clocking them down in outer space.
37:08Gieser like your old man, probably never even had a parking ticket.
37:11Stupid git.
37:12Do you think he's ever done anything in his old dreary life?
37:16Put his hand on some, type his knee once.
37:19That's his speed.
37:20Dead for their tail, most of them.
37:22There he is.
37:23Right.
37:24Out of sight.
37:34Looks like being a busy night.
37:39Follow me!
37:42Nice.
37:49Not nice enough.
37:52Going to lose me my job, you are?
37:54Sure I can find something for you.
37:56Mind on your cards, please.
37:57Please.
37:58If Paul's not back by tonight.
38:18He will be.
38:19I'll go straight to the police.
38:20Come on!
38:21Can I have car keys?
38:28What?
38:29Your keys!
38:29Could be some villains the kid's fallen in with.
38:54Yeah, but I thought the embers were solid Tory voting, teeth cleaning, middle class.
38:59My kid might not be.
39:01Oh.
39:03Give up all that?
39:04Sproncy pad, motorboat, water wall banknotes?
39:07I didn't say willingly.
39:09No, I can't say it, gov.
39:12A delicate bit of machinery.
39:14What is it?
39:15The family unit.
39:20Makes me glad I'm gay.
39:21Successful evening, sir?
39:35Lucky at cards, unlucky in love.
39:38The night is young.
39:41Nice to spare it.
39:43Would you like a taxi, sir?
39:45Aye.
39:46Good idea.
39:47Freaking I can afford one.
39:56Oh.
40:17Who's going to open it, then?
40:27You can.
40:29Tell you what, we'll take a lock each.
40:32OK.
40:37Ready?
40:37Ready?
40:38One.
40:40Two.
40:42Three.
40:43Three.
40:52Hey, Pete's working for a living.
40:55Oh, smells good.
40:58Sounds good.
41:04And that taste.
41:08Terrific.
41:09What an idiot.
41:10Who?
41:11Your old man?
41:12Yeah, let you not strip him off like that.
41:15Like taking pennies from a dead man's eyes.
41:24Oh, no!
41:26Oh!
41:26Oh!
41:28Oh!
41:28Oh!
41:29Oh!
41:29Oh!
41:29Oh!
41:30Oh!
41:33Oh!
41:34Oh!
41:34Oh!
41:35Oh!
41:35Oh!
41:36Oh!
41:37Oh!
41:38Oh!
41:39Oh!
41:40Oh!
41:41Oh!
41:58Oh!
41:58Oh!
42:00Oh!
42:01It's a schnozzle's birthday.
42:12What's that all about?
42:14You said night!
42:16If he isn't home...
42:18I know what I say.
42:20What about Regan?
42:22You've still got those numbers he gave you.
42:31What do you think I should do?
42:35Well, I... I do.
42:39Yes!
42:42Don't you?
42:48I don't know.
42:53I don't know what to do anymore.
43:01I don't know.
43:03What do you want, George, is a bloody great key.
43:31An ice-cold key, stick it down your back.
43:34Keep my nose down.
43:36What's up?
43:37My Joe's asleep.
43:39Oh, shh.
43:42Mustn't work, Mum.
43:46Here you go, look.
43:47Stopped.
43:50Well, slowed down anyway.
43:54Seen that?
43:59I'll use your phone.
44:01This time of morning.
44:02Ember called.
44:04Here.
44:06I gave him your number.
44:08That's bleeding good of you.
44:10Most satisfying outcome.
44:21I'm sure it is, sir.
44:25Have you seen Sergeant Hinksmann?
44:27On the mill train of Manchester.
44:29That was our arrangement.
44:30Oh.
44:31I see.
44:32Anything wrong?
44:34Well, sir.
44:37Em.
44:38Out with it.
44:40I think he's forgotten something.
44:43What?
44:44The £6,000 winnings.
44:46What about them?
44:48Well, he seems to have taken them with him.
44:53I'm glad you popped round just in time.
44:59Cheers.
45:00Never been like a refuse.
45:03Not when it's free.
45:05Well, cheers, Paul.
45:08You're a lucky boy.
45:09Cheers.
45:10Cheers.
45:11You can say that again.
45:12Yeah.
45:13Not many kidnappers are so straight.
45:15Reckon?
45:19Not the way you'd have played, did they?
45:21Not really.
45:22Still.
45:23All's well.
45:24Thank God.
45:25Cellar, eh?
45:27What's the old dump?
45:29Any idea where?
45:30Not a clue.
45:31You didn't hear any church bells, your clock chimes, traffic noise, anything like that?
45:36I said a cellar.
45:37Underground.
45:38How many of them were there?
45:40Two.
45:41Can you describe them?
45:43Dark glasses, funny tashes.
45:46One had a tattoo.
45:48That's all.
45:49Did they ever let you out?
45:51No.
45:52Tinjeri in the corner.
45:53Can you know?
45:54What to do about food?
45:55Sandwiches.
45:56Wrapped in cellophane.
45:57British Rail.
45:58Was there a bed in there?
45:59I've told you.
46:00It was a grotty old cellar.
46:01A few fertilizer bags.
46:03An old coat.
46:04You had a bath since you got home.
46:05No, I haven't.
46:06Must have been clean.
46:07The fertilizer bags, I mean.
46:08Can't we stop all this?
46:09I mean, he's home.
46:10That's what matters.
46:11Ah, come on, Regan.
46:12Forget you're a cop at once.
46:13Sorry.
46:14We could have a good holiday.
46:15Out for France.
46:16Somewhere like that.
46:17Sounds nice.
46:18You're not worried about your money.
46:19Yeah, of course I am.
46:20More to life than money, you know.
46:21Really?
46:22We're home, isn't he?
46:23I'll leave you home.
46:24I'll leave you home.
46:25You're home.
46:26That's what matters.
46:27Ah, come on, Regan.
46:28Forget you're a cop at once.
46:29Sorry.
46:30I think I have a good holiday.
46:31Out for France.
46:32Somewhere like that.
46:33Sounds nice.
46:34You're not worried about your money?
46:35Yeah, of course I am.
46:38More to life than money, you know.
46:40Really.
46:41Really?
46:45He's home, isn't he?
46:47How do you fellas know?
46:52Did pre-record the scream?
46:54No.
46:56No, it was all live there and then.
46:58Why did you scream?
47:00Twisted my arm.
47:02They were going to torture me. You know.
47:05No.
47:07What do you mean?
47:08I mean I don't know how they were going to torture you.
47:10They were going to burn me.
47:12Nasty.
47:13I was dead scared, I admit it.
47:16Who did the talking?
47:18The tall one.
47:19They use any names?
47:20No, didn't say much at all.
47:23Was there any electric light?
47:25I told you, it was dead bloody grotty.
47:29An old paraffin lamp.
47:31Well, they never let you out, not once.
47:33Said so, didn't they? Dad.
47:35Leave it alone lads, he's been through it, you know.
47:37I'd like Dr Ross to look at him now.
47:39Maybe.
47:40Leave it out, Mum.
47:41I'm all right.
47:43Look, I think I'll just go to bed.
47:46I'm knackered.
47:48Before you go, Paul, there's one thing that bothers me.
47:53Grotty cellar, no electricity, no...
47:56There was a cold cell for Christ's sake.
47:58There was a telephone.
47:59What?
48:00Telephone?
48:01We could all hear you.
48:02You were right there.
48:03But I said...
48:04You said you never went out.
48:05Not once.
48:06Dad, get them off my back.
48:08Poxy bloody rosy.
48:09Careful, son.
48:11I think you ought to answer the question, Paul.
48:18Smell it.
48:20Sweet as a nut.
48:22You know, old bastards.
48:23You're unlucky, son.
48:27Our business, you meet too many victims.
48:30Road accidents, burglaries, knifings, shootings.
48:34You gotta know the look.
48:36The smell.
48:37You don't look right.
48:39You don't look right.
48:40You don't smell right.
48:48Thanks, Jack.
48:49I'll bring him in.
48:53Why?
48:54Tell me why.
48:57Ask him.
48:59We gave him everything he ever asked for.
49:02No kid ever had more.
49:05Like father, like son, eh?
49:09Pity you don't have one of your own.
49:16We'll go and get your money now.
