16:52don't miss a bloody child

16:53all right my methods then

16:54some of them

16:55I thought by now there was at least a

16:57a mutual trust and understanding

16:59you're a violent man Jack

17:00Deacon and Lee blinded one man

17:03the other is still concussed with 27 stitches in his sack

17:05that's irrelevant

17:06irrelevant

17:07to what I'm trying to say

17:11you forget I've witnessed your violence at first hand on several occasions even with other police officers

17:16you're bound to have a ruck that's part of the job

17:20you're building an image Jack

17:22a broken marriage drinking deliberate flouting of authority the whole damn thing's symptomatic

17:26of what

17:27a man who is heading for a fall

17:29and this could be it

17:30I didn't say that

17:31no you implied that

17:33you've made a lot of enemies in the job Jack

17:36can't you see that this is the kind of opportunity they're waiting for

17:39I can name you a dozen senior officers who'd be glad to see you gone

17:42they're not coppers they're civil servants

17:45they were out in the streets with their bikes 30 years ago

17:48if a window was done then it was a major crime

17:51they don't understand it's war it's bloody war now

17:55when you stop a kid in a stolen car

17:57you can't be sure he isn't too loud and ready to blow your face off

25:32Mr. Regan, Mr. Carter.

25:41Hello, Betty.

25:43How's business?

25:44Dreadful.

25:45I was only saying yesterday to one of me regulars.

25:47When money's tight, the last thing people think of is appearances.

25:50Look at him.

25:51I'll have to start selling paraffin soon.

25:53Do you know Andrew Deacon?

25:56He lives quite near.

25:57Have you heard?

25:58I heard something.

26:00What something?

26:01I'm sure it's malicious.

26:03He's heard.

26:04I don't believe a word of it, Mr. Regan.

26:06And that's the truth.

26:07Thanks.

26:08Him and his brother.

26:09That one's bloody mad.

26:10I can say it to you.

26:11Have you seen the boy around at all during the last few days?

26:14A couple of nights ago.

26:15Where?

26:15Just chance.

26:17I've got this friend.

26:18Nice boy.

26:19American.

26:19Yeah, where'd you see him, Betty?

26:21A wine bar.

26:22Called Belding's.

26:23Yeah, I know.

26:24It's newish, isn't it?

26:25It's quite nice.

26:2630 bub a bottle and all the arthritis you can take.

26:29I wouldn't know about that.

26:31Honest?

26:32Anyway, he was there.

26:34Was he with anyone?

26:35Some leuco.

26:36Fella?

26:37No, girl.

26:38Was this Wednesday night?

26:39About 7.30.

26:40They left before we did in that car of his.

26:42Flash little flop.

26:44Thanks, Betty.

26:45Anytime, Mr. Regan.

26:46Do you know that?

26:47Hey, would you like a shampoo?

26:49On the house.

26:50Just to keep me fingers in.

26:51No time, but thanks.

26:53Be careful.

26:55That Phil Deacon, him and his brother are pretty close.

26:59Watch out for his minder.

27:00Stan Traynor?

27:01You know him.

27:02I've nicked him twice.

27:16Good flight?

27:17I don't like planes.

27:22Yeah.

27:23It was all a bit of a rush.

27:27I've put up trains myself.

27:30Booked you in at a good hotel.

27:35Did you get my messengers?

27:38Backseat.

27:39You seen this?

28:00John Fruin, I told you.

28:06You knew about this, Carter?

28:07Well, he talked to me, er...

28:09When?

28:10Lunchtime.

28:10Well, what the hell did you say to him?

28:12Nothing, Gav.

28:13Nothing?

28:14You've been bloody careful not to name names.

28:16He's been very astute.

28:18The information, the innuendo, the tone of the whole piece.

28:21I'm going to pull this right up his nose.

28:24That's exactly what he wants.

28:27Did you say where he got the information?

28:28No, he might have a contact at the hospital.

28:30Where at the station are you?

28:31I'd like to meet this one.

28:33You'll leave him alone.

28:34Is that an order?

28:36No, it's a commandment.

28:39Larry, get back!

28:47Who do you say?

28:50A copper.

28:53Goes with the name of Regan.

28:55A right hard bastard.

28:58What rank is he?

28:59Detective Inspector.

29:06What's he done?

29:07That's no concern of yours.

29:10Let me ask him.

29:11Yeah, well, I don't pay you to ask questions.

29:14Stan will fill you in the details.

29:16Where he lives.

29:17What boozes he uses.

29:18His contacts.

29:19That sort of thing.

29:21When you want it.

29:25When I say.

29:27And only when.

29:29You'll be.

29:31Too grand on an account, wasn't it?

29:36You'll get the balance when I read the papers.

29:44I'll be way home by then.

29:49You'll get it.

29:52Better.

29:57What time was this?

29:58Hello, lad.

29:59Jack.

30:00Listen, can you check someone out for me?

30:02Quickly.

30:03What's he?

30:04It's a coloured girl.

30:05Yeah, was he with a spade?

30:06Angela Bailey.

30:0817.

30:09Uh-huh.

30:09Bailey.

30:10They left together.

30:11What, how long after?

30:12It's a juvenile.

30:13I see.

30:14Okay, Sam.

30:14No, we'll come round to you.

30:15Now, don't be stupid.

30:16No names, of course.

30:16How long do you think it'll take?

30:17Tell her.

30:19Well, we'll get round to you about 8, all right?

30:23All right, see you then.

30:25They were in the Admiral to a closing time.

30:27Sam heard them talking.

30:28He reckons they went back to her place.

30:30Anne's checking the girl out now.

30:31Look, if Regan's done, they'll know it was you.

30:35I'll be in church, won't I?

30:36Yeah, you kill a coser, you take the lot on.

30:38I won't be doing anything.

30:40I'm a respectable citizen, minding my own business.

30:43Phil, you know what I'm saying is right.

30:47They won't be able to prove a thing.

30:49They'd fit you up somehow.

30:51They are their ways.

30:52You know, you worry me sometimes, Stan.

30:54I mean, you hate the filth just as much as me.

30:58Regan's done you twice.

30:59Well, at least you know where you are with him.

31:02Not like some of those other bastards.

31:03What are you trying to say, Stan?

31:04Let me fix Regan for you, my way.

31:08I guarantee he won't forget.

31:11I'm already in for two grand.

31:14I'll talk to Eddie.

31:15I think he's looking forward to it.

31:18Yeah, well, he ought to be in Broadmoor.

31:21I don't like it.

31:23I don't like any of it.

31:27It ain't your brother, though.

31:29Jack, you know I want to do anything I can to help.

31:32But it's privileged information.

31:35Look, love, I can get most of it from CRO,

31:37but it'd just take too long.

31:39Too many complications.

31:41I mean, I promise you I wouldn't ask you if he wasn't crucial.

31:43Well, as long as you understand.

31:46If there's any comeback, I'll take it, all right?

31:53She's been to court five times.

31:55From the age of 11 onwards.

31:58Shoplifting, drugs.

31:59Last two times of prostitution.

32:02She's done four months at approved school.

32:03Where's she live?

32:08She shares with two other girls.

32:10If you like, I can arrange a meeting with Miss Battle.

32:12Well, she can tell you much more about Angela than I can.

32:15Is she Angela's PR?

32:16Well, knows her pretty well.

32:17How's the girl involved, Jack?

32:19She was with Deacon the night before we arrested him.

32:21As a customer or a friend.

32:24She's still a Tom?

32:25Miss Battle thinks she might be.

32:27I'd trust her intuition.

32:28If she tapped him, he wouldn't have spent the whole night with her, would he?

32:31How well organised is she?

32:34What do you mean?

32:34Is she just earning a bit on the side, or is she under a wing?

32:36I have no idea.

32:38I could find out for you, though.

32:39She's like a second Поскольку, watch it.

32:40Oh, please.

32:42Maybe.

32:44Wait, what's the first thing about her?

32:46Since she's in the moment,

32:47I'll show you the second boy at the two songs.

32:54I can Barnett meet a White Imperial Fire

32:57The one thing is that she ever did a new thing is that she walked through in the middle.

33:00She wanted to wear a belt with a arma that never geçer.

33:03THEM WHERE?

33:24A pub.

33:25The Admiral.

33:26Dee-dandy.

33:27What?

33:28Nothing.

33:33Where did you go after?

33:37Me?

33:38Both of you.

33:39I went home.

33:40Andy went to CMA.

33:42What time did you get back?

33:44Just before 12.

33:45Alone?

33:46I said.

33:47He didn't drive you back.

33:48I walked.

33:49Why didn't he drive you back?

33:51I've already told you.

33:52He went to meet a mate.

33:54And he let you walk home?

33:56I like to walk.

34:03Oh.

34:04Good morning.

34:05Good evening to come.

34:06Please sit down.

34:07Yes, well, I haven't got a lot of time.

34:10What do you want?

34:15Your piece last night was irresponsible and totally fallacious.

34:19In what way?

34:20In its implication.

34:22I merely reported the facts.

34:24Rubbish.

34:25What?

34:26No.

34:27No.

34:28No.

34:29No.

34:30No.

34:31I merely reported the facts.

34:32Rubbish.

34:33No journalist of quality merely reports facts.

34:37You set out quite deliberately to smear the squad.

34:40Do you still insist that Regan didn't touch that boy?

34:43I do.

34:44And the ruptured kidney, the bruises?

34:46That is being looked into.

34:48By whom?

34:49Inspector Regan.

34:51Oh, you have a delightful sense of the absurd, Mr. Haskins.

35:01I haven't known Andy long.

35:03We just go out, have a drink, a laugh.

35:06What else do you do?

35:08He doesn't come back, if that's what you mean.

35:10Oh, don't you like him?

35:11Of course I do.

35:13But you don't fancy him?

35:15It's not like that.

35:16Like what, Angela?

35:18I'm on probation.

35:20We know.

35:21And we know what for.

35:23He's got dirty minds.

35:25It helps in this job.

35:26You believe that beating took place at the hands of more likely the feet?

35:31Of one of my officers.

35:32Regan.

35:33Why didn't you name him?

35:34I intend to.

35:35That would at least give Inspector Regan the opportunity to publicly clear his name.

35:39In court.

35:40Don't give me that, Haskins.

35:42Don't think a little hot breath from you is going to put me off.

35:45You know exactly what will happen.

35:47He'll be put discreetly away in some drawer until the screams off.

35:51And then brought out, dusted off, wound up, and put back on the streets again.

35:55And no one will remember.

35:57Except perhaps Andrew Deacon.

35:59Today's headline, tomorrow's chip wrapper.

36:02What a disturbing self-indictment of your profession.

36:05Well, at least it's a self-indictment.

36:07I mean, your profession is the protection of society.

36:11And the individuals that go to make up that society.

36:14And yet you condone.

36:15And even try to conceal an act of premeditated violence.

36:18I am neither condoning nor concealing anything.

36:20Regan is a violent man.

36:22He has a reputation.

36:25Even amongst his fellow officers.

36:27Inspector Regan is one of the best officers in the squad.

36:30Regan isn't the only one.

36:32How many times have you seen suspects carried from the interview room?

36:36It would be naive of me to say never.

36:39But it's not like you would have the public believe.

36:42You are an extremist.

36:43Well, you have to be.

36:45To make them listen.

36:46Listen to what?

36:47The truth.

36:49As I see it.

36:51Perhaps I should point out, Mr. Fruin.

36:53That both Inspector Regan and I are members of the public.

36:58Citizens.

36:59Just like you.

37:00And Andrew Deacon.

37:02We have the same makeup of emotions.

37:05The same survival instincts.

37:07The same rights.

37:08The same protections.

37:09And the same access to justice.

37:12What are you trying to say?

37:13Simply put up or shut up.

37:15If you can give me some sort of evidence that Jack Regan gave that kid a-kicking,

37:20I will personally bury him.

37:32What happened, Angela?

37:33Wednesday night.

37:34I told you.

37:36I don't believe you.

37:38Now, why are you lying?

37:39I'm not.

37:41Well, we just thought you'd want to help, that's all.

37:43We went for a drink, that's all.

37:46That's not all.

37:46He took you home.

37:47No.

37:48He stayed the night.

37:49No.

37:51Look, someone, sometime between you leaving that pub at closing time and us arresting him

37:55the next day, gave Andy a ruptured kidney.

37:57No.

37:59Well, how can you be so sure?

38:00Because you did it.

38:01It said so, in a paper.

38:04Everyone knows who I am.

38:05They don't write it unless it's true.

38:07You did it.

38:08You were Andy.

38:11Why can't I speak to Regan?

38:13Orders.

38:14Whose?

38:16Gods.

38:17What's got frightened of the truth?

38:19It requires as much caution to tell the truth as to conceal it.

38:23It's very articulate, Mr. Haskins.

38:26Not my words.

38:28Grazian.

38:29Well, no.

38:29Don't forget, late edition, my treat.

38:41Hello, love.

38:43Is she cooperating?

38:44There's something she's not telling us.

38:46You know what you're asking me about, Angela?

38:48Whether there was a pin.

38:49And there was.

38:51It was never proved, but she was living with him in his house the last time she was charged.

38:55What's his name?

38:56Lindbergh Rea.

38:57Rea?

38:57R-E-A.

39:00Thought it might help.

39:02Yeah.

39:03Thanks.

39:04Do you want me to talk to the girl?

39:06No.

39:06At least not at the moment.

39:09Look, love, I'll see you later.

39:10All right.

39:22Lindbergh Rea.

39:23And you'd better tell me before you're in trouble.

39:29He...

39:30He saw us coming out.

39:32Of the pub?

39:33I haven't seen or spoken to him for months.

39:35It's the truth.

39:37I've had nothing to do with him or his thought.

39:39I believe you.

39:41Now I want the rest.

39:42He was in the car.

39:45When he saw me, he stopped.

39:47Then what happened?

39:48Nothing.

39:49Come on, love.

39:51Andy told him to leave me alone or...

39:53Or he'd lose his turn.

39:55Big brother would see to that.

39:56Nothing happened.

39:58I swear.

39:59We got into Andy's car and drove back to my place.

40:02Did Rea follow you?

40:03No.

40:04They went in the opposite direction.

40:06They?

40:06There were three of them in Lindbergh's car.

40:09Who were the other two?

40:09I don't know.

40:11I don't.

40:15Did Deacon stay the night?

40:17Yeah.

40:18What time did he leave?

40:21About 11 o'clock next morning.

40:24Do you know where Rea's living now?

40:27Not in the old somewhere.

40:39Leave her in.

40:56Rea!

40:56Let's go.

41:26Let's go.

41:56Let's go.

42:06Hey, that's it.

42:08George, watch him.

42:10Let's go.

42:22Let's go.

42:32Ria!

42:34Ria!

42:36We just wanna talk.

42:38We're not gonna bust you.

42:40We're not the drunk squad.

42:42We just wanna talk.

42:46We just wanna talk.

43:08Oh, break your bloody arms!

43:10Governor, the door!

43:12George!

43:24George!

43:25Do you want a cigarette, Gab?

43:34Do you want a cigarette, Gab?

43:46Hello, son.

44:02How are you feeling there?

44:06Doesn't hurt so much.

44:08I told Phil you were a tough kid.

44:12I told Phil you were a tough kid.

44:18So I stopped to talk to her.

44:20Outside the attic.

44:22And he comes out.

44:24Starts slaying it on me.

44:26About his big brother and what he's gonna do to me.

44:28He called me a coon pimp.

44:30Really?

44:32I didn't want any trouble for Angie.

44:34She's my lady.

44:36She doesn't seem to think so.

44:38She's got a thing about honkies.

44:40He ain't the first.

44:44So you waited outside her place?

44:46All night.

44:48I went around the back way.

44:50So he wouldn't see me following.

44:52He came out about 11.

44:54I followed.

44:56With the other two?

44:57They went home.

44:58I didn't need them.

45:00He ain't nothing.

45:02He wants everybody to think he's as hard as his brother.

45:05But he ain't.

45:07He's nothing.

45:09Sure you had a straightener.

45:11He ain't gonna bring no black sister smile for a while.

45:16Get his statement, George.

45:18Charging with assault on police and possessing an offensive weapon.

45:21Send this down to the drug squad.

45:25For analysis.

45:26Hey.

45:27You said no heavy number with him if I told you.

45:29I'm a liar.

45:31I got home in a cab.

45:34I was passing blood.

45:36I drank most of a bottle of scotch.

45:40And took some Panadol.

45:42The pain eased.

45:46And I must have nodded off.

45:49It was dark when I woke up.

45:52So I went out to get another bottle of scotch.

45:55And the next thing I knew I was nicked.

46:00Look, Phil.

46:01I know what it must have looked like.

46:03But Regan never touched me.

46:06The booze and the pills were off.

46:11And I just folded up.

46:17Why didn't you phone?

46:20I reckon they'll be all right.

46:23Who is this black hammer?

46:25His name is Ria.

46:36I know him.

46:37Then I have a word with him, Stan.

46:39I owe you an apology.

46:51Not me.

46:52Inspector Regan.

46:55I spoke to the hospital.

46:58Andrew Deacon is out of intensive care.

47:00Well, that's good news.

47:04There's not much I can say.

47:06I don't regret what I printed.

47:07I thought it was right.

47:08It wasn't.

47:10This time.

47:13Mr Fruin.

47:18Yes.

47:19Well, I suppose I asked for that.

47:35Euston Station.

47:38Why didn't the boy's brother file a complaint?

47:52I mean...

47:55In the circumstances, from what you told me about him.

47:59Very strange, Phil Deacon.

48:00Odd.

48:02In what way?

48:04Unpredictable.

48:06Like you.

48:08If things had turned out different, it would probably send somebody round.

48:12To talk to you?

48:14You could put it like that.

48:19Zombie.

48:20A corpse said to be revived by witchcraft.

48:23Very impressive.

48:26Did I ever tell you about that parrot that got locked in the morgue?

48:32No.

48:33Which is true.

48:34If it's true of this, you can ask George Carter.

48:35He's a worse liar than you are.

48:37Well, George and I had to go round this morgue to identify an old paraffin who got killed by drink.

48:43When we got there, there was this bloody big parrot sitting on a slab.

48:47Oh, righty.

48:48Oh, righty.

48:49We'll be listening before.

48:50Hope to do
