04:06That you on the phone, was it?
04:10Yeah, it's about that blag
04:12What blag's that?
04:14The one where the security fellow got shot
04:15I'm not with you
04:17For God's sake
04:20The one where they shot the armored truck guard
04:22And the getaway van broke down
04:24I jacked a motor
04:25Come on, it was on the wireless
04:28What a mouse ball
04:30Good bit of driving
04:31Go on then
04:33Tobin McCombrey's in London
04:35We're driving from Manchester
04:36Where?
04:38Junk shop
04:39Behind Lambert Road, North King
04:40Near the cemetery
04:42There you go, go
04:51Cheers, Junk
04:53You met Tobin before, have you?
04:57No, I've never had that pleasure
04:58You?
04:59No, I was on leave when he hit London
05:01He did smoke Yevans with a hatchet
05:03Charming
05:04Want one of this?
05:08Yeah, cheers
05:09He's on his toes from the army
05:11Marines
05:13They still want him back
05:14Court Marshal
05:15He's a right hard man
05:16Vicious
05:16He broke the back of his master at arms
05:19That's a bit naughty for a driver
05:21What is this, liquid concrete?
05:28Yeah
05:28I was in Borneo
05:31Cyprus
05:32And Aiden
05:33And he did four tours in Ulster
05:35I wonder why he deserted
05:37Maybe he wanted a bit of excitement
05:39I wonder if he was going to get a bit more
05:54than he говорит
05:55No sign of our bill.
06:14Hey, well, don't expect that to last three jobs in two days.
06:17He's too near the bone.
06:19I'm not complaining.
06:20It's paying for me old age.
06:21Oh, I didn't know you was an animal, lover.
06:27Drop dead.
06:30What time's the German, do you?
06:34Don't worry, son.
06:36The German is never late.
06:51That end, was it?
06:57I don't know.
06:59Hold on, gov.
07:04Whiskey, this is Zulu.
07:06Who was that?
07:07Zulu?
07:08I don't know.
07:08These photos are ancient.
07:10Terrific.
07:11Where's the camera?
07:12Whiskey's got it.
07:13Second floor on the corner.
07:14I'll get mine from the van.
07:15Get Jameson up here to take a few shots.
07:18Okay.
07:21You got a light, mate?
07:26Sure.
07:34Good.
07:51My dumb friends are enjoying themselves, I see.
08:09Jake here's the comedian.
08:11Why not stick to being punctual?
08:12And paying out.
08:14You surely don't want me to stop paying out.
08:16You'd surely better not contemplate it.
08:18Ten grand for Tover.
08:27Ten for Jake.
08:35What about Doc Boyd?
08:37I'll keep it for him.
08:39No tricks.
08:41I'll keep it for him.
08:43No tricks.
08:44You get right up my nostrils, Hermann.
08:46Doc Boyd's a mate of mine, a mucker.
08:53Okay.
08:54Fine.
08:54It's the next job.
09:11Is everyone ready?
09:14Otto Schmidt, alias Peter Van Greet.
09:17Sir, five years for armed robbery, eight years for kidnapping, and two years for possession
09:22of explosives.
09:24Born in Hamburg in 1936.
09:26He's wanted for questioning in France and Holland.
09:28He's known as the German.
09:31You met him, Gov?
09:32No, I saw him in court once during an extradition hearing, when I was at DC.
09:36Oh, he must be ancient.
09:38You're hell-bent on promotion, aren't you, Jimmy?
09:41Oh, sorry, Gov.
09:43You've got those warrants sorted up?
09:45On what evidence?
09:48Ah.
09:50Michael James Boyd.
09:52Now, he's a known associate at Tover McCombies.
09:55Thought he only worked out of town.
09:56If these jobs are even Stephen's, he's made a bundle.
09:59Tonight's papers reckon they're going for a million.
10:01You don't believe that, do you?
10:02They're just headline grabbers.
10:04I mean, all the tricks have been different.
10:05Well, Tover's not in town for the bright lights, is he?
10:08So, let's get some evidence.
10:11What about that other face, Gov?
10:13Not the bearded wonder.
10:14The other one.
10:15Yeah, I can't place him.
10:17Yeah, he bothers me.
10:19Well, I'm not too stuck on your faces at home, John.
10:23Well, Jake, what do you think?
10:28Go on, son.
10:28Tell him he's nothing to be afraid of.
10:32Yeah.
10:33Yeah, it's all right, I suppose.
10:35Yeah.
10:35Good.
10:38Good.
10:39I'm glad it meets with your approval.
10:41Well, it doesn't meet with mine.
10:43It doesn't have to.
10:44He's part of the movement.
10:45You're a hired thug.
10:46Listen, Haini, a job's a job, but stuff a pantomime.
10:50Pantomime?
10:50You're pushing your luck, man.
10:51You can't go pulling jobs as quickly as this.
10:54Even the dumbest copper will be able to suss this lot out.
10:56My dear Tovers, this operation is the outcome of thorough military planning and intelligence,
11:00not some muddled scheming of a bunch of Mancunian psychopaths.
11:04Military what?
11:05How do you know the old Bill hasn't got this place surrounded?
11:09Where the hell's George got to?
11:11Don't know, Gov.
11:11Gov.
11:12Gov.
11:13Gov.
11:14Gov.
11:15Gov.
11:16Gov.
11:17Gov.
11:18Gov.
11:19Gov.
11:20Gov.
11:21Gov.
11:22Gov.
11:23Gov.
11:24Gov.
11:25Gov.
11:26Gov.
11:27Gov.
11:28Gov.
11:29Gov.
11:30Gov.
11:31Gov.
11:32Gov.
11:33Gov.
11:34Gov.
11:51Gov.
11:52It's me ankle, Gav.
11:57Gav? Gav?
11:59George, quick!
12:06What happened?
12:07Put that away and give us a hand.
12:10What happened?
12:13I thought they'd come back over the wall.
12:15We were playing football.
12:16Football? Yeah, you know, football.
12:18Little round thing, people kick it. It's all the rage.
12:21Yeah, looks like it.
12:22If you'd have been on time, it wouldn't have happened.
12:24Sorry I was so long. I was stuck down C-11. They start late.
12:28Did you find anything here? No.
12:30What's the word?
12:32Well, that face you recognised from five years ago. The German.
12:35He's still involved with explosives and kidnapping. Politics.
12:38What sort of politics? Extreme.
12:41No kidding. Oh!
12:43Look, he's hurt, Gav.
12:44I served him right for showing up.
12:51Get down.
12:56Yeah, and that other face. That photo.
12:58Pizza Bell.
13:00Do you want to go through the comic book?
13:01Oh, certainly. If I've got a week off.
13:04No, I probably saw him at a demo of one of those funny raids.
13:07Listen, Governor, if this is a terrorist caper, is it really down to us?
13:10Violent robbery's always down to us, George.
13:12I don't care what the villains vote for.
13:15Go and have a whirl with Nicely Nicely.
13:17Ask him if Special Branch have got any interest.
13:19He hates me.
13:20Everybody, George. Nicely Nicely hates the world.
13:22But he's a super now.
13:24And I'm a detective inspector, George, and you're not.
13:26That's what makes the world go round.
13:28Give him my regards.
13:30I'd stick to darts if I were you, Gav.
13:34Oh, shut it, Bill.
13:37You've only sprained your ankle.
13:39You're not going to get a commissioners' commendation for that.
13:43That, of course, was always keen to be of assistance.
13:46But I must say, Sergeant Carter,
13:49that was a little nonplussed when Superintendent Turner suggested we had a chat.
13:53Yeah, well, Nicely, Mr. Turner said it was nothing to do with his lot.
13:58He said DI5 were involved.
13:59We're not DI5.
14:01No?
14:02Good heavens, no.
14:03Oh.
14:04You're Mr. Regan wants to know something.
14:08Yeah, look, can we go into an office?
14:11Why, Sergeant?
14:12Well, it's a bit more private, you know.
14:14This is Whitehall, Sergeant, not the Kremlin.
14:17Perhaps we can come to the point.
14:20Yeah, all right.
14:20Have you any involvement with a German called Schmidt?
14:24And a certain William, evil Willie Sanders?
14:27And why might we be interested?
14:29Well, politics.
14:30Political offences.
14:31You don't have political offences in this country.
14:33I thought someone in your position would know that.
14:35Good afternoon, Samantha.
14:41Now, what's a nice girl like a...
14:43Typing the Minister's letters, I hope.
14:46And what have these two heroes been doing?
14:48A few blaggings, we think.
14:49Hmm?
14:50500 grand so far.
14:51My, my, all without your noticing.
14:53We've just gone on to them.
14:54Don't tell me the yard's losing its touch.
14:56No, sir, we're just playing them along for a while.
14:58I wish you'd take the same attitude to my wife's parking fines.
15:02That's a different department.
15:04Now, what about these two, sir?
15:05Schmidt and Sanders.
15:08Not my department.
15:11But a special branch, boys.
15:12Don't...
15:13Well, that's why I'm here.
15:14Well, I'll route around, Sergeant.
15:16We're very cooperative.
15:19Yeah, well, if you could let me know...
15:20Oh, you'll hear, all right.
15:22If we have an interest.
15:24Yes, the word will filter down to you.
15:26Have no fear.
15:32Just to make sure they let you out.
15:33Yeah.
15:34A warrant card means nothing here.
15:36As you possibly noticed.
15:39Take care, Sergeant.
15:53Zulu to Charlie.
16:13They've gone for a wet, I think.
16:15Over.
16:16Okay, Zulu.
16:17Look, you take a break.
16:18But leave your channel open.
16:20Off.
16:20How long have you been on D.I. Regan's team, Skip?
16:26About 18 months, I suppose.
16:28I hear he's a bit heavy.
16:30Nah, he's all right.
16:31You knew, then?
16:31Yeah, just posted him from division.
16:34Well, it'd be nice to him if I were you, Sunbeam.
16:38Have a shifty round the back, George.
16:40Yeah, why not?
16:41Look, you move round the corner, and I'll suss out the backyard.
16:44All right.
16:44Be careful, and don't borrow anything.
16:47Oh, sure.
16:48If I'm well behaved, I might find six signed confessions.
16:51I'll get back to the local factory.
16:53About time I sorted out that warren.
16:57Well, are you in, Tober?
17:00What do you mean?
17:01Am I in?
17:01Of course I'm in.
17:02Just you said to the German you thought he was getting close to the bone.
17:05It is, son, it is.
17:06Have you ever fought the Sweeney?
17:10They're the real heavy mob.
17:12I fought the army, Tober.
17:13In the Emerald Isle.
17:15Oh, I, you did.
17:16Maybe I've even fought you.
17:19No, sonny.
17:20If you had, we'd have been doing business via the spiritualists.
17:26Zulu to Charlie.
17:27They're at the shop door.
17:33Can I help you, sunshine?
17:34I'm looking for Earlfield Road.
17:37Not within a mile of here, friend.
17:39Earlfield?
17:40They said it was close to the cemetery.
17:42We're all close to that, kid.
17:44Yeah, well, thanks anyway.
17:45Any time, Mr. Ingram.
17:50Still driving on our clutch, are we?
17:51That shows nerves, you know.
17:53Not me, mate.
17:54You've got me mixed up.
17:55My name's Fox.
17:57All right, constable.
17:58Can I go into my shop now?
18:04Right, that does it.
18:05All right.
18:08Okay, sweetie!
18:19I'll count up to ten.
18:23Just to save as any embarrassment.
18:25One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, six, nine, ten!
18:43Feeling the strain, old son?
18:58He's changed, but you haven't.
19:15His name used to be Dave.
19:17It didn't click.
19:18When was this?
19:19Oh, about 14 years ago.
19:21He used to race cars, Rossendale Hill Climbs.
19:23When you asked to stand in for my regular,
19:25I gave you just one piece of advice.
19:27What was it?
19:27Always be where you wanted me.
19:32This is a fiver.
19:33This five pound says that when George came out of that alley,
19:36you weren't there.
19:38Governor, do I owe you a fiver?
19:41No.
19:41I wasn't there.
19:42Well, not exactly, anyway.
19:44Okay.
19:45I'm going to recommend you for two weeks as the Supers driver.
19:48This man can drive for George.
19:49I'm sorry, sir.
19:50All right.
19:51Did you disturb anything on that, chap?
19:58No.
19:59What about that warrant?
20:01I've decided to cool on that for a bit.
20:05It's nothing to do with me, Gav,
20:06but shouldn't we nick them all?
20:08That's what Askins said.
20:09Well, what did you say?
20:10Mr. Regan said we needed evidence.
20:13I said good interrogation would produce that evidence.
20:16Mr. Regan then asked for more time.
20:21Um, I'll just go and get those cigarettes, Gav.
20:23I've just been with the assistant commissioner.
20:28Not, I trust, in the biblical sense.
20:31Jack, can you obey orders?
20:34I mean, if they're quite clear, quite specific.
20:36Whenever possible.
20:37Well, here is one, and I think it's possible.
20:40If you get the Germans, Doc Boyd and Toba,
20:44all together in the same place again,
20:45you will arrest them.
20:46The ACC has pointed out that whilst he is not influenced
20:50by the fact that yesterday's raid was in all the headlines,
20:53a security guard was shot.
20:55And that makes him very angry.
20:57So stop messing about, Jack,
20:59otherwise I'll find you another case.
21:00We're still going to need evidence, Gav.
21:03I mean, all we've got so far is a tip-off
21:04from a not-very-reliable snout.
21:07Could you be clear and specific about that?
21:10Unless Georgie's men can be persuaded to shop them all in court,
21:13all we can hope to do is scare them away.
21:14At the rate you're going, Jack,
21:16that might prove to be the best available option.
21:34What's going on?
21:36The bloody law's been here sussing us out, that's all.
21:39Nothing to get excited about.
21:40That's what you've saved your adrenaline for the driving.
21:42Yes, I'll be driving in a minute.
21:44We have a contract for four jobs, Tober.
21:46Then you'll have to sue me.
21:48It's all right for you lot, 48 hours in the nick,
21:50and away home if you keep your mouth shut.
21:52Me, the Marine Commando, has won a few years of my life.
21:55I can't let you do that.
21:56Just walk out like that.
21:59When was the police here?
22:00I didn't see them.
22:02Look, wake up, Herman.
22:03The Sweeney's as good as in here with us.
22:05You can't be serious about another job.
22:06Not in the smoke.
22:07Not this side of Christmas.
22:08Oh, I'm perfectly serious.
22:11Then that's your Wagnerian funeral, Heinrich.
22:14Don't expect me to sit in the bunker till we're down to the last cartridge.
22:18I suppose your plan was to shoot the cat, poison Jake,
22:21and I pour petrol over you and Evil Willie after a hasty marriage ceremony?
22:25Forget it!
22:26Come on!
22:47Come on!
22:51Come on!
22:52Tobey.
22:54Tobey.
22:54Mr. Tober, I had a phone call from Manchester this morning.
23:04Your daughter.
23:07She was on her way to school.
23:10The 23 Drummatures Street.
23:12She's quite well.
23:13My daughter?
23:14Rosina?
23:15A pretty little girl.
23:17Dark hair.
23:18About six years old.
23:24Where is she?
23:29School, I imagine, but I can find out just like that.
23:32You know I'd kill you, Schmidt.
23:34Yes.
23:35And you'd still have her hurt.
23:37It's not my decision.
23:38You appreciate I'm not a gangster, Tober.
23:41You and your team have a contract for four jobs in three days.
23:44At ten grand a times, that amounts to £120,000.
23:49That leaves marginally more than half for me and my boy.
23:54And do you know what we take?
23:57Our airfares and some pocket money.
23:59And the rest for the cause, is it?
24:02You're not gangsters, you're a pair of bloody mugs.
24:05It's up to you.
24:07You know the score.
24:09Leave if you want to.
24:12And what if we get nicked?
24:15Or smashed up?
24:16Wouldn't be your fault.
24:18We're not animals.
24:19All right, I'll drive tomorrow.
24:29Good.
24:30I'd have headed you to be left out.
24:32Result, hacking.
24:45Trap three, Nova.
24:48Trap five, Shinelli.
24:50SP trap three, 13 to eight.
24:53Trap five, five to one.
24:58You're a chemster.
25:00Left at four, number three, bit of gold.
25:03Three to one, number six, lager last.
25:05Four to one, number five, forked and thread.
25:08Four to one, number eight, carries thread.
25:11Oh, give me up.
25:26You can't shit for an economy size, can't you?
25:28Leave me alone, Mr. Carter.
25:29I didn't know nothing.
25:30All right, you're under arrest.
25:31You told me enough to tie you in for conspiracy.
25:34You can't do that to me.
25:35Do you want to bet?
25:36This is a conspiracy inquiry.
25:38Now, you know what Eddie Morton got for that, don't you?
25:40Come on.
25:41It was my word put him down.
25:43I whisper.
25:44Exactly.
25:45You'll be the most popular man inside.
25:48I doubt if you'll even survive remand.
25:50Oh, Eddie will be pleased to see you in Parkhurst.
25:52You're not serious, Mr. Carter?
25:54Oh, yes, I am.
25:56Conspiracy to robbery and shooting security guards.
25:59I've had a threat, Mr. Carter.
26:01The word's out that the player was involved with bloody fanatics.
26:04Terrorists.
26:05And they know someone's grassy.
26:07I take junk from that shop.
26:08A pony for two beds and a couple of sideboards.
26:11I'm the only one who knows they're there.
26:13Just a whisper.
26:14We'll do a deal.
26:15A couple of drinks.
26:16Not even for a dollar a day.
26:17All right.
26:19Albert James Milligan, I'm arresting you for conspiracy to commit...
26:22Tomorrow.
26:22Three-thirty.
26:24It might be a bank.
26:26Where?
26:27I don't know.
26:27I swear.
26:28You're a liar, Albert.
26:29The bank's shut at three-thirty.
26:31I don't know anymore, Mr. Carter.
26:32Honest.
26:38Let's assume three blags in two days.
26:41Now, there's nothing today except several meets.
26:44The German and that unknown face, they go to the junk shop, wait one hour, leave.
26:50Tober and that hippie stay behind.
26:52Yeah.
26:53Our rabo team said they turn the telly off at ten.
26:55Yeah, well, the little men have got a busy day pending.
26:58Yeah, I reckon your snout's right about that tomorrow, George.
27:01Yeah, it's three-thirty p.m.
27:02But not a bank?
27:04I don't think so, no.
27:05These are all the wage rounds for tomorrow afternoon, Gough.
27:08I've marked down times due at the side.
27:10Only three of them make any sense.
27:12You're lucky none of it makes sense to me.
27:14If Tober isn't on this, I can't understand why he hasn't had it away by now.
27:21He must know he's on borrowed time after that scene at the shop.
27:25Who do you reckon chooses the location?
27:27Doc and Tober.
27:28They're the pros.
27:29Doc for the ease of attack, Tober for the best getaway route.
27:35Heads.
27:37Tails.
27:38You be Doc, I'll be Tober.
27:41Now, I know I've been pushing me luck, so I'm looking for the best way to aim out.
27:47Squad office.
27:49Hold on, sir.
27:50It's Mr Haskins for you.
27:55Yes, Governor.
27:58Well, actually, Governor, I'm standing here planning a robbery.
28:08Good morning, Inspector.
28:20Who are you?
28:20My name's Carver.
28:21Major Carver.
28:22I spoke to your sergeant earlier.
28:24Oh, yes, security service.
28:25I mean, not in so many words.
28:27So, no more, Major.
28:29This sergeant of yours, sir, Carter, wasn't it?
28:32I wasn't quite frank with him.
28:34Surprise me.
28:35This case, Your Honor.
28:37What case is that, Major?
28:38We might have an interest.
28:39I don't like silly games, Governor.
28:41I take it this conversation isn't official.
28:43Just informal liaison, Inspector.
28:45Sir, what do you want?
28:46I get the feeling you're planning a very heavy move out here.
28:49Am I?
28:50You're setting up for a right shuffle.
28:52Shooters, iron bars, the lot.
28:55Am I right?
28:59Go on, I'm only listening.
29:00It would be no bad thing if your adversaries were, shall we say,
29:06unhindered in their endeavours today.
29:07Come on, Major, do me a favour, cut the bunny and come clean.
29:11I appreciate it.
29:11I can't talk about my work, Inspector.
29:14Suffice it to say.
29:16Suffice it to say, Mr. Regan,
29:19the national interest would be best served if our mutual friends were able to complete
29:25their present activities.
29:26You mean I've stumbled under something political?
29:29I can't say, of course.
29:30But I can't stop you speculating.
29:34I realise your job's terribly secret, Major.
29:36But I can't accept your brief cover's armed robbery
29:39or putting innocent civvies at risk.
29:41Feel strongly about it, do you, Inspector?
29:43And when I find Tober and that mob,
29:44they're going to go down for 12 or 14 years,
29:47even if they vote Methodist.
29:48I'm afraid I'm going to have to log this conversation.
29:58Morning, sir.
29:58Morning, sir.
30:28There'll be only one car.
30:42God knows what Tober will borrow.
30:44Your job is simple.
30:45Block this exit.
30:46But wait for my word, right?
30:47Right, go.
30:58You know what I'd like?
31:15One of them Uzi submachine guns.
31:17They're Israeli.
31:18Solid gear.
31:19What do you think, Chairman?
31:20What about?
31:21That's Sweeney business.
31:23Do you think anybody was here?
31:24No.
31:26Ivor Vili didn't think so, did you, Vili?
31:27No way, man.
31:29Tober's lost his cool.
31:31I reckon this will be his last caper.
31:34Do you, Sonny?
31:35Three blaggings and you think you know it all?
31:37The way you talk,
31:38I don't think you even know
31:39what side of the bloody Atlantic you're on.
31:41Okay, you and Eva Vili go first.
31:48Good luck, comrade.
31:50You did well on the last job.
32:05Do you still want to join us?
32:06More than ever.
32:07I've been in touch with the military council.
32:10They've checked you very thoroughly.
32:13Extremely thoroughly.
32:16Welcome to the struggle, comrade.
32:17Come on, Brian.
32:21I have some news for you.
32:23News?
32:24Today's raid is to find the stool pigeon.
32:26That is its purpose.
32:27What stool pigeon?
32:29In our organisation,
32:30security is more important than funds.
32:32Today's raid is a mock-up.
32:34I shall stop it at the last moment.
32:37You mean, we're all jacked up for a blag
32:39and there's no blag?
32:40I suspect we have an informer.
32:42Tober could be right about the police being involved.
32:45Now, the He and or Doc Boyd have any commitment,
32:46and they may have made a deal with the police.
32:49If there is an ambush,
32:50there must be an informer.
32:52If we're ambushed, mate,
32:54we're all down for it.
32:55You'll have a lifetime in Parkhurst
32:56to figure out who shocked us.
32:58No.
32:59You and I shall remain in the background
33:01near a vehicle I shall indicate.
33:03This time, Doc Boyd and Tober
33:05are bound to put up a fight.
33:07If so, we shall slip away.
33:08Don't worry.
33:09There'll be ample time.
33:11How is Eva Vili?
33:13I trust him, comrade.
33:14But can you trust Tober, Doc Boyd?
33:18Because if they're Nick Deograff,
33:19they owe us nothing.
33:20We shall be a thousand miles away
33:21before Tober can come anywhere near a courthouse.
33:24Now to arms.
33:44Take up your position.
34:06Chief Inspector Haskins.
34:07I don't think we've met.
34:10My name's Carver.
34:20The wife's a fair driver, you know.
34:21There's a place around the back.
34:41Park the car there.
34:42Go into the gents.
34:43Lock the door and stay there till I tell you.
34:45Gents.
34:49They know his face.
34:50Of all the drivers in the squad,
34:52he's the last one I need around.
34:53We may have to scrub this, Jack.
34:55You what?
34:56The ambush.
34:59We may have to let it pass.
35:00Calm off it, Governor.
35:01I don't know what hatchet work's been going on,
35:03but this operation's already underway.
35:05We can't move out.
35:06You're too late, Guff.
35:07A major carver has been to see me.
35:09You wouldn't have to be Dick Tracy to guess that.
35:11Now watch it.
35:12They explained everything to me.
35:14I'll bet.
35:14Shut up.
35:17Now Carver's outfit have got a man in Tober's team.
35:20He's managed to get inside a group of terrorists
35:21called Liberty and Peace for the People, the LPP.
35:26Now this raid is just a dummy.
35:28It's a tryout.
35:29The German reckons that if we try to feel their colors,
35:32then it must be down to one of his own team.
35:35He's got to call off the black at the last minute.
35:37It must be off his bloody skull.
35:39Because of a grasp, the German can put the finger on the major's man.
35:43They reckon they're pretty near to rounding up the lot of them.
35:46But it was the dwarf.
35:47Well, you try telling that to Schmidt.
35:50Look, Jack, this way you get five of them for conspiracy to rob.
35:53The other way, the major breaks up a terrorist organization.
35:56We can get them for the blags in our own time.
36:02What if it's not a dummy?
36:04Are you so frightened of the mad major
36:06that you're prepared to let people get hurt?
36:07Because if you are...
36:08Now don't be so childish, Jack.
36:09And the first sign of trouble, we nick them.
36:12I told them we can't let anything happen.
36:18This is Lollipop.
36:19All units listen very carefully.
36:21This operation is not to proceed.
36:23I repeat, Operation Penguin is suspended.
36:25All units to remain undercover and observe.
36:29I want detailed reports of everything that occurs.
36:32No action is to be taken unless you have my direct command.
36:36Radio silence will be maintained, but keep listening.
36:39Off.
36:44Sorry I lost my rag, Guth.
36:46Forget it.
36:47Is this one of them?
36:54Lookouts.
36:56They post two as a room.
37:17There you go.
37:21Better sign for it.
37:23Here.
37:23That guy with the long hair.
37:25His name's Jenkins.
37:27He used to be in the job.
37:29Jenkins?
37:34Yeah, I know him.
37:35He got the elbow, didn't he?
37:36A couple of years ago.
37:39Look, go to the governor.
37:40Tell him we got that face.
37:42Yeah, Detective Sergeant Jenkins it was.
37:44I met him on a lecture weekend four years ago.
37:46He was a special branch.
37:48He got caught up in the Eternal Triangle.
37:51An MP's wife.
37:53He was told to put his papers in.
38:09Jenkins.
38:12There's not much of a future in that job.
38:14I suppose he lost his pension.
38:16That's all he could get, working for Carver.
38:19Hope I can do better.
38:21Well, at least we know who the Major's boy is.
38:25He's the Wages.
38:26He's the Wages.
38:26And here's the team.
38:47What?
38:48He's the Havis.
39:04He's the Wages.
39:05He's the Wages.
39:06He's the Wages.
39:06He's the Wages.
39:07it's all off well is that effect no German's orders
39:37I can't believe it they would have moved by now
40:07Jimmy here gun sorry to break the silence but I've just been clocked over

44:39oh
44:41oh
44:43that's
44:44please. So that's as good as me cutting the neck myself. You're right with you, sir. Right now, Jack, we're going back to the yard.
44:57What do you get out, Tauber? I've got muckers in Manchester, Mr. Egan. I bet you have. They'll see
45:05she's all right. Can you be sure? Oh, aye. We don't handle terrorists like the government, Mr. Egan.
45:14You'll not find them planting bombs in our byyards. Not twice.
45:25Outside line. Go ahead.
45:35I'm not daft, Inspector. Names, dates, places, telephone, numbers, crown, witness, you name
45:53it. I know what a deal entails.
45:56Oh, Jack. I think you've met Major Carver. He's, uh, interested in the background to the
46:13arrests you met. Right. Uh, while the Germans dummy rum was in progress, Sergeant Carter
46:19identified a former police officer done up like a first-class anarchist. I think his name
46:24is Jenkins. Then one of my other boys, DC Thorpe, was clocked by a very nasty student agitator
46:30by the name of Evil Willie. Just out of interest, why didn't Thorpe ID this man before today?
46:36Faces are like that. Sometimes they just click. As soon as the ambush was sussed, I had to
46:41follow it through. If the team had been allowed to back out, then Evil Willie and the German
46:45would have known they'd been infiltrated. An ex-Sgt. Jenkins would have doubtless been tortured
46:49and murdered. No question. In a decision forced on me by an unfortunate coincidence, I had
46:55no alternative but to make the claim. Hmm. I think you've slightly underestimated our
47:00Mr Jenkins. No doubt you beat him up so that his cover was further protected. Right. We
47:07can let the prisoners know that it was a snout that shot them, and then your mind's in the
47:11clear. God knows what use he's going to be now. I'll want to let them know your snout's name,
47:16of course. No way, Major. There's been enough people hurt already. Anyway, there's no need.
47:22Your mind's still in the hospital. Yes. I would explore motives, if I were you.
47:31Not now. Yes, all right. Put him through. George Carter. I hope you'll excuse this. It appears
47:43to be urgent. Yes, George. Governor. I've got some bad news. Yeah, I've been nobbled. I don't
47:56get you. What do you mean good? He's not good. He's terrible. Yeah, well, that fellow that
48:04you bashed up, he just bashed me up and scarpered. Yeah, he fought like a maniac. He was obviously
48:14terrified of going inside. You don't know how right you are, George. Your man's clean away.
48:21Surprise, surprise. I told her not to underestimate friend Jenkins. Well, must be away. Cabinet briefing.
48:30Thanks awfully for all your help. It all turned out rather well, really, didn't it?
48:36Uh, Major. Yeah? What would have happened if I'd nicked them all in the act, on an earlier job?
48:43Nothing much. Jenkins might have felt a tiny bit unloved. Might even have appeared at the
48:49Old Bailey with some cock-and-bull story about working for the government.
48:54But who'd have believed the discredited ex-policeman, eh? Must go. Toodle-pip.
