03:59Thanks a lot to the Flying Squad

04:00Saved us a lot of red faces

04:02and a lot of money

04:04Well if you ever get a consignment of gold caught in the dock strike again

04:08you'll know what to do, won't you?

04:09That's certainly well

04:10What did she say?

04:15What did she say?

04:25What did she say?

04:35What did she say?

04:37What did she say?

04:39Nothing? She doesn't know anything?

04:41What do you pay her for then?

04:43Well her little girl's been ill, hasn't she?

04:44Oh yeah

04:45Straight up, cub. She hasn't even got the bread to go and visit her old man

04:49Where is he?

04:51Durham, maximum security

04:52How much did she sting you for?

04:54Just a ticket

04:55How much?

04:5711 quid

04:5711.24

04:5911 quid?

05:02The Salvation Army, that's where you should be

05:04I've been over this a dozen times, Inspector, er...

05:08Regan

05:08Well that was the local CID, I'm from the Flying Squad

05:11All we need now is Interpol

05:13Yes, well I'm sorry, Mr. Cowley

05:16but this is the tenth in a series of almost identical break-ins

05:18Look, there's nothing fresh I can tell you

05:20Instead of standing...

05:21Are you your name?

05:22Aye, the tall one, he called me Mr. Cowley

05:24What were the exact words?

05:26He said stand and deliver

05:27Are you kidding?

05:29Now look here, Inspector, er...

05:32Regan

05:32I'm not usually inaccurate

05:34He said stand and deliver

05:36And he was an Australian

05:38Australian?

05:40Are you sure?

05:41I'm positive, Regan

05:42Inspector

05:44Well that's all fixed

05:56Yours is the one with the squint

05:57Great

05:58Thanks for nothing

05:59Eight o'clock at Bruce's place

06:01I'm, er, taking mine down the club first

06:03So the, er...

06:05That's all yours

06:06Me and the squint

06:07It's in the line-out

06:08I think I'm better

06:10Not again

06:12I was only trying to talk to her

06:14Honest

06:15Hey, we, er, we made the lunchtime additions

06:18Did you know that?

06:19Does it say how much?

06:2125 grand

06:23They spin a good yarn, don't they?

06:26Look out here comes Dunbar

06:27What is this?

06:35A union meeting?

06:36Anzac Day

06:37Don't give me that Anzac Day was last week

06:40It was every week

06:40Right, right?

06:42Right, Colin

06:42Every week

06:43The squash courts need sweeping

06:45That's right

06:46Well get up off your fat antipodes and do some work

06:49I suppose you wouldn't care to repeat that front of the race relations board

06:52Work

06:53Puff

06:54Well the magic dragon live by the sea

06:59Hey, Gwen, we're all going to crowd in the sauna

07:01We're going to play squash

07:02Put your glasses on for God's sake

07:03So the ball's at the end of his boot

07:07It's ballooned in over the goalie's head

07:09It couldn't be sweeter if he'd tried

07:10Gov, do you think 11.24 was strong in it a bit?

07:13Yes, I saw you coming, George

07:15One look at those baby blue eyes

07:17Jack, George, come through, would you?

07:19I'll bring you a copy

07:20Here, love

07:26Do us a favour, will you?

07:27Phone up King's Cross and find out the return fare to Durham

07:30Who wants...

07:33Chief Inspector Haskins

07:34That's who wants to know

07:35Thank you

07:36Oh, what about the metal dealer's trailer?

07:40Nothing

07:40And that's what'll be on it when we find it

07:42Should he get cartons of hypodermic needles?

07:47Junkies knitting

07:48Security gun

07:50Shot and wounded in Maida Vale

07:52Rent and rates money

07:55Cheers

07:56Well, how have you been getting on?

08:01Well, none of our regulars know anything

08:03None of the jobs have a recognisable MO

08:06At least none that fits any known firm

08:08Fresh talent, you reckon?

08:11Oh, yeah, they're talented, all right

08:12Ten jobs, not one ricket

08:14Carly, that's the man who was done last night

08:17He reckons one of them's an Aussie

08:18Bash upon me a day

08:20Is he sure about the action?

08:23Positive

08:23Australian shoplifting, yes

08:27But maybe it's an Aussie firm with a heat on

08:29They've come over here for a bit of peace and quiet

08:31You know, the law's a lot tougher on non-cons over there

08:34They've only got a meet in the street and they're planning a job

08:36This shotgun trick, they've used that every time

08:39Yeah

08:39Dammit tonight, isn't it?

08:41Well, it's flash

08:42It's like that stand and deliver crack

08:43Could be Aussies, come and think of it

08:46All right, we'll cable Canberra

08:48The question is, how are they getting their information?

08:52In ten jobs, and each one grossing at least ten grand

08:55And they knew his name was Carly

08:57Well, whoever they are, they're well briefed

08:59Insurance company?

09:00It's that sort of gen, isn't it?

09:04Haskins

09:04A return fare to Durham is £11.24

09:10Oh, er, that's for me, sir

09:12Sorry

09:12Thank you very much

09:14What is it now, collecting train numbers?

09:18Something in the way I smart

09:23Looks beautiful

09:32It does now

09:33Guess what you pay for in this life?

09:37Yeah, and I pay for new tyres, new cylinder head

09:39Stiffer dampers

09:40Stronger valve springs

09:42Yeah, you polished inside a manifold

09:43Why's the time, Vince?

09:45How's moisture die on, then?

09:47Fine

09:47God's in his heaven, and all's right with the world

09:50That's poetry

09:52That's poetry

09:53That's poetry

09:55You think we all come from cow college, don't you?

09:57You cultured people

09:59Oh, leave it out, Colleen

10:00What do you want this time?

10:02Jerry?

10:03Shooter?

10:03Nothing so simple, mate

10:04There's this copper

10:06It's getting too close

10:07We want him fixed

10:08Stitched on the time

10:09Oh, I know

10:10That comes expensive

10:11That much we know

10:12Point is

10:19Can he be fixed?

10:23Well, when do you want it done?

10:25Like yesterday

10:25Who's he with?

10:28The Sweeney

10:29Oh, great

10:31What's his name?

10:33Haskins

10:33He's a DCI

10:35Oh, him

10:35I know him, don't I?

10:37Finest cop money can buy

10:38Oh, Finn Street or nothing

10:40Going bald on top

10:40That's him

10:41Well, won't be easy

10:45We never are

10:45And I haven't got long

10:47No

10:47Well, I'll have to do it myself, you see

10:51Why split the fee?

10:52We'll pay you 20% of the next job we do

10:54Well, the thing is, afterwards

10:56I mean, I'll be, what they say

10:58A bit persona non gratin

11:00I mean, they won't give me the MBE

11:02And send me home in a taxi, will they?

11:03Yeah, well, we've been thinking about that, Vince

11:05Now, your old lady, she lives in Canada

11:07Montreal, right?

11:08Yeah

11:09Well, we're banging the air ticket

11:10As an extra bit of, uh, fun for you

11:12You will

11:13And today's Saturday, right?

11:14Get your skates on, you could be in Canada, ooh, a Tuesday

11:17Just like that?

11:18Just like that

11:19And that's not all

11:20You play your cards right

11:23Jude might just go with you

11:25Oh, leave off

11:28No!

11:29Where is she?

11:30She singed her tights last time she saw you down at the kangaroo club

11:34Get away

11:34Straight up

11:35That's right

11:44Double baked jam roll

11:48I don't know where you put it, Jack

11:49Soldiers march on their stomachs

11:52Who said that?

11:54Napoleon

11:54Oh, yeah

11:56Yeah, they also carried field marshal's batons in their bags

11:59Hmm

11:59That and baked jam roll

12:02No wonder they lost

12:03Frank

12:06There's a rumor sweeping the office

12:09Oh, what happened to Doris?

12:12Well, there's a rumor going round the office

12:14Oh, yeah

12:15Yeah, that, uh, you've been offered a job with one of the big clearing banks

12:18They're set up their security department

12:20You fancy a bigger desk, yeah?

12:23Just curious

12:23When you've got 25 years on the clock, you start to look around, don't you?

12:27Do you?

12:27Two lots of school fees

12:28Three times a year

12:29I'll get this

12:31Cheers, right?

12:32Oh, thanks, Jack

13:00Have you seen your daughter today?

13:03No, no, tomorrow's my turn

13:05Morning

13:15Good morning

13:16Come on, Doreen, hurry up

13:19We're going to be late

13:26Yes, dear

13:28That was last time

13:29Now, do I need an umbrella?

13:30No, dear

13:30Have you locked her back?

13:32Yes, dear

13:33Oh, have you got the car?

13:38Yes

13:38You had enough to eat?

13:58No, this afternoon

14:04What about Greenwich?

14:07The Caddy Sark?

14:08No Caddy Sark

14:09Hydra Fall Trip?

14:12Where'd it go to?

14:14Er, Greenwich

14:16I said I didn't want to go to Greenwich

14:18You did

14:19What about Madam Tussauds?

14:22Chamber of Horrors

15:37You need some new shoes

16:02You know that bank only want me for my contacts

16:05You're too modest, Frank

16:06That's only part of what you've got to offer

16:08It'd be nice to be my own boss though, wouldn't it?

16:10Well, don't put that in there

16:11I never do put that in there

16:13It'd be worth it to get away from Regan and that lot

16:17You'd be much happier

16:18Askins?

16:32Hello, Mr. Askins

16:34It's Wally Vince here

16:35I'm sorry to disturb you for Sunday

16:37That's all right, Wally

16:39Look, I've got some info for you

16:41Urgent like

16:41Call me at the office tomorrow, will you?

16:43Come on, Governor

16:44I said urgent

16:45How did you get my home phone?

16:47It's to do with these blaggings

16:49Which blaggings?

16:51Well, I'm on about a pair of flashboys from down under

16:54Was outgrafting in Gerrard's Cross last Tuesday?

16:57Oh, yes

16:57You know the football ground, London Road?

16:59Yes, I do

17:00Yeah, well, it's near where you live, isn't it?

17:02I'll see you there in ten minutes

17:04Car park near the main gate

17:06Oh, Wally, just a...

17:07Who was that?

17:10Young tearaway called Wally Vince

17:12Who are you calling now?

17:14Jack Regan

17:15It'd be nice to have one Sunday together, wouldn't it?

17:20A lot of them we can park the kids for the day

17:22Oh, damn

17:24Even bank frauds don't stop for the Sabbath, do they?

17:29Get me the car out, Doreen, would you, please?

17:32What about Box Hill? It'll be crowded later

17:34Yes, I'll be back in town, don't worry

17:36Oh, no

17:39How long have you been working here, Wally?

17:48Oh, about six months

17:49Well, I wish I'd known before

17:52Still, nowhere to come for tickets in future

17:55Any time, Governor

17:57I didn't know you'd taken up snouting, Wally

18:02Oh, needs must, Mr. H

18:04All right, then

18:05What have you got for me?

18:08First of all, there will be some insurance, won't we?

18:12Probably

18:12Well?

18:24Check

18:25See if any of the numbers match with any of those nicked on Tuesday

18:28I don't know if they've got a note of those numbers

18:30They're in sequence, Mr. H

18:32I'll take that, Chief Inspector

18:34Well, who the hell are you?

18:38Detective Chief Superintendent Pettiford

18:40Of where?

18:42A10

18:42Nice one, Wally

18:47Truth well out, Mr. Askin

18:50We'll go in my car, my driver will take yours

18:52Thank you, Mr. Vince

18:53We'll keep in touch

18:54Will I be suspended?

18:59Ask me that again in an hour's time

19:00Oh, we'll get back to it

19:15Little bit

19:17Yeah, we'll get back to it

19:18BIRDS CHIRP

19:48Mrs. Haskins. Yes. This is the kitchen.

20:00Freezer, tumble dryer, automatic washing machine, dishwasher, nice kitchen.

20:05Who are these men? A-10. Complaints against police investigation department.

20:10Mrs. Haskins, you work in a bank, don't you? Yes. Could you show me the pay slips, please?

20:13PAYE, bank statements, etc, etc. There's no immediate hurry.

20:17But if you could do it as soon as possible, please.

20:23I've been set up, you know. Possibly. What were you doing in the football ground?

20:26I went to see Wally Vince. A known villain. They're the ones with the information.

20:29Regular contact? No, not regular.

20:32Then what were you doing there on your own?

20:35I tried to contact one of my D.I.s, anti-sergeant. And?

20:40Both numbers were engaged. How unfortunate.

20:45Excuse me.

20:47These all the shares you have? Yes. All. You'll find the total cost written on the back of the envelope.

21:01Three building society accounts.

21:10Isn't that rather excessive?

21:13One is mine. One is my wife's.

21:16And this one?

21:17Two hundred and forty-eight pounds.

21:20Which is also in my name.

21:23I had noticed.

21:27It's a special float for holidays, my wife's birthday, things like that.

21:30It was rather a surprise to your wife, I thought.

21:33Aren't I right, Mrs. Haskins?

21:35All right.

21:36She didn't know anything about it. It should have come as a surprise.

21:39I see.

21:42You see, I got this rule.

21:44What rule is that?

21:46If she puts out on the first date,

21:49then she's a trap.

21:50And that's what Joni did?

21:51Yep.

21:53Turned me right off.

21:54Before or after?

21:59After.

22:00Well, you needn't have taken her up on it.

22:01What sort of a dingbat you take me for?

22:04So.

22:05Goodbye, Joni.

22:07Yep.

22:09Enter.

22:10Gwendolyn.

22:11Now, Gwen, I could talk to.

22:13You know something, Colin?

22:14I've never been able to talk to a sheater.

22:16Yeah, marvellous.

22:17Chats, we used to have her.

22:18So?

22:19What was wrong with Gwen?

22:20Cow cockies.

22:22Oh.

22:23Now.

22:24Well, you wouldn't let me touch her.

22:26You.

22:27Not a finger.

22:28What do you do?

22:30What could I do?

22:32Go back to Joni.

22:41When was it last painted?

22:43In the autumn.

22:44300 odd quid.

22:47You've kept the receipts, have you?

22:49They're in the house somewhere.

23:07They don't believe in half measures, do they?

23:10Is this part of the framework?

23:11Well, of course.

23:12It's all circumstantial.

23:14Not all of it.

23:15The commissioner got a phone call from Vince's brief.

23:17Making certain allegations.

23:19Which is why we started.

23:20Which is why you started the investigation, yes.

23:25I'll get your receipt for those things.

23:26Then we'll go back to the yard.

23:28And I shall recommend you be suspended by the commander,

23:31pending further investigations.

23:41Not only does it bring discredit to the squad,

23:44but to the whole metropolitan force.

23:46But you can't operate unless you break the rules.

23:48Everybody knows that.

23:49Do they?

23:50Of course they do.

23:51The odds, sir, Sergeant, is a gesture of goodwill.

23:55Sorry, sir.

23:57There's a difference, Sergeant, between breaking the rules

23:59and breaking the law.

24:00But some slags word against this.

24:02It's a disgrace.

24:03Don't sound off at me, Sergeant.

24:05I'm telling you the facts.

24:07And steer clear of him, both of you.

24:09Otherwise you'll find yourself suspended.

24:11If A-10 want to talk, and they will,

24:14think before you let fly.

24:16And for God's sake, leave it to them.

24:18You're in the flying squad, not the US cavalry.

24:22Objectivity.

24:24That's what I expect from my officers.

24:26At all times.

24:28Yes, sir.

24:33Wish I'd been to Oxford.

24:34I'd be a commander at 36.

24:36I must say, you really spoke up for Askins, didn't you?

24:38Oh, shut your rabbit, George.

24:39God, dear.

24:40I've heard of keeping stomp.

24:45What's that?

24:46Well, look.

24:49A ton.

24:51So?

24:52Two days ago, I had lunch with Askins.

24:53When I went to get the coats, that was in my pocket.

24:58Who have you told?

24:59You.

25:00You don't believe that, do you?

25:02Christy, he's too square to be fed.

25:03Calm down, son.

25:04Now, look.

25:05Maybe it was planted to make me suspicious.

25:07Maybe it wasn't the wrong pocket,

25:08but ask yourself two questions.

25:10Why him and why now?

25:19He threatened to pull the wise brother in, you see.

25:21Who was that?

25:22Butling.

25:24Barry Butling.

25:27Any previous?

25:28You don't have a uniform as long as you're on.

25:29Askins was gonna fit Barry up for the Croydon warehouse, Blagg.

25:34And the money was a bribe?

25:35Yeah.

25:36Couple of ton in redis, he says.

25:38Or else.

25:40Like his own private lifeboat day.

25:43Well, we have your statement.

25:44That'll be enough.

25:48For the present.

25:49You haven't shaved.

26:02Well, I'm not going anywhere, am I?

26:04A man in a car outside?

26:06Yes, the Gestapo.

26:07A-10, the boys who keep us on the straight and narrow.

26:11Frank.

26:13About that other building society account.

26:16I wondered when you get round to that.

26:19What is it?

26:20It's a bit late to start distrusting me now, isn't it?

26:23It's cash.

26:25For my helpers, informants.

26:27Why?

26:28Because otherwise they'd blew it all in one go and get their throats cut.

26:35I thought...

26:38I can imagine.

26:42Why don't you just sit down, write to the bank and tell them you accept the job?

26:48That'd be great, wouldn't it?

26:50What's stopping you?

26:52Because I can't put my papers in while I'm under suspension without the commissioner's permission.

26:56Who says?

26:58The rules do.

27:00All right.

27:02So how long will it take?

27:07Well, from memory, the Times bribery allegation lasted just over a year.

27:14Christ!

27:27I like it.

27:29I like it.

27:31So, sir.

27:33Great.

27:35I prefer the pistache they did in this.

27:37Not the ice cream, Colin. I'm talking about the house.

27:40Yeah, I like the house well enough.

27:42What about the sheila doing the garden?

27:45Let her force my rhubarb any day.

27:48That alarm?

27:50I know that system.

27:52Break the door down, you've got about...

27:55Oh, five seconds, get the phone off the hook.

27:57And if you don't?

27:59The alarm sounds in the local mic.

28:02Five seconds, is that right?

28:05Five seconds.

28:07Tasty.

28:12Very.

28:14Feel like giving it a word?

28:16It's empty.

28:28Now, scrub it.

28:30See that sign?

28:31What's it say?

28:32Beware of the dog.

28:34Put your glasses on, right?

28:38Beware of the au pair.

28:40There's got to be a link, George.

28:42That's what Darwin said.

28:44Darwin?

28:46Yeah, I've been doing a lot of reading recently.

28:49The evenings get a bit long now.

28:53Hey, look, George.

28:54You know that new hair hostess of mine?

28:56She's got a friend.

28:58Yeah, well, cheers, Gubb.

28:59I've met those friends before.

29:00No.

29:01No, no, no.

29:02You remember Marty and Carol, the film star?

29:04What, Marty and Carol?

29:07Yeah.

29:08My granny's favourite.

29:09Oh, right, Peter Pan.

29:12Right, ten jobs.

29:13What have they got in common?

29:15Here's the file.

29:17I want to know everything about the victims.

29:19Banks, clubs, kids' schools, business interests.

29:22We've done all that.

29:23Well, we'll do it again.

29:24There's obviously something we've missed.

29:27I've got an appointment.

29:28Hello, it's DS Carter.

29:31Yeah, could you get my car round to the front, please?

29:34Hello, it's DS Carter.

29:36Yeah, could you get my car round to the front, please?

29:39Hello, I'm here.

29:40How's it going?

29:41So, let's go.

30:11Jack.

30:23Don't look surprised and don't take too long.

30:25This is knackering me.

30:31All right.

30:32Put this here.

30:35The next time you see me, I'll read the gas meter.

30:38Whose van is it?

30:39Bouts are made of mines.

30:40How are you feeling?

30:41Do you want it with adjectives or without?

30:44Oh, I heard the door.

30:46You know Jack Regan, don't you?

30:47We've met.

30:48Morning, Mrs. Haskins.

30:50Tea, coffee, sorry?

30:51No, thanks, Governor. We'll make this as brief as possible.

30:53I'll leave you to it.

30:56Obviously, somebody thought you were going to feel their collar.

30:58Not somebody, Jack. Them.

31:00The shotgun mob, the Aussie firm.

31:02Who fingered you?

31:03Wally Vince.

31:04Woeful Wally.

31:07He couldn't tell the truth if his neck depended on it.

31:09You try telling that to A10.

31:11Anyway, he's as thick as two short planks.

31:14He couldn't put this together.

31:15Well, just do me a favor, Jack.

31:16Don't lean on him.

31:17It's more than my job's worth.

31:18Yeah, that's what they call well-stitched.

31:21Keep your eyes peeled, George.

31:24Desk first.

31:24Hasn't had his cactus any harm, has it?

31:40Yeah, mate.

31:41You can tell A10 have been here, can't you?

31:49Hello.

31:50What's that?

31:51What's that?

31:54Protect yourself with gold.

31:58Each Krugerrand contains one troy ounce of gold.

32:02Gold coins?

32:04Buying price is £96 each.

32:08Eskens hasn't got the money to spend on that sort of thing, has he?

32:13Warbitons of London.

32:24Warbiton O Lafouc

32:28Warbitons of London.

32:29Warbiton O Lafouc

32:34O Lafouc

32:41işte

32:43çünkü

32:44Nice and easy, does it?

33:10Eight o'clock at Mount's place.

33:12Oh, party?

33:12Yeah, you've got to bring a bottle, a bird, and an alarm clock.

33:14Oh, beaut.

33:15Hello, hello, hello.

33:17Put your glasses on, right?

33:20They're pretty.

33:29Want any knives sharpening, lady?

33:31If I did, I'd know where to stick them.

33:36You've missed him. He's gone for a walk.

33:38Yeah, I thought so. His boyfriend's missing.

33:40I think they'd have something better to do.

33:44How is he?

33:46Bitter.

33:49Thank you for what you're doing for him.

33:52Trying to do.

33:53Well, he's grateful.

33:55We're both grateful.

33:58And you must need moral support.

34:00You suddenly find yourself in a leper colony.

34:02Like that, is it?

34:03The phone doesn't ring.

34:05No letters, no callers, nothing.

34:08There's a beer in the fridge, if you'd like one.

34:11Come on.

34:19Cheers.

34:19How are the kids?

34:28Lucy's put a PS in her prayers.

34:31Well, it's nice to know someone's rooting for you.

34:33She's not praying that he gets off.

34:35Oh, no.

34:36She's praying that it doesn't get into the papers.

34:38What's going to happen?

34:43A little fizzle, though.

34:45You think?

34:45Yeah.

34:46I'll tell you what it's not going to be.

34:49It's not going to be another bed in the psychiatric wing of St Thomas' in a sick pension.

34:54Oh, no.

34:54Not if I've got anything to do with it.

34:55That DCS from, what do you call it, A-10?

35:05Sanctimonious.

35:05You'd think he'd invented the word.

35:08Talked about the book as though it was the New Testament.

35:13I'm sorry.

35:14You didn't come here.

35:15No, it's all right.

35:16Frank won't talk about it, you see.

35:18He just sits there and festers.

35:22And then you read that eight out of ten of the general public

35:24think that the police are bent.

35:28Oh, no, no.

35:29There's a new report out now, didn't you know?

35:31Yeah, it costs 95,000 quid.

35:33It says the public loves us.

35:35Madly.

35:36I could tell it a different way.

35:42And a lot cheaper.

35:46Up!

35:54Cheers.

35:57Thanks.

35:58Ugh.

35:59It's condensation.

36:01Business.

36:02Yeah, it can ruin your love life.

36:04How many?

36:05Another five.

36:07All good?

36:07Should be.

36:08They all bought 5,000 plus.

36:09Oh, great.

36:10What should we say this time?

36:12A ground apiece?

36:13You said that last time.

36:15Let's try seven and a half for the five.

36:17No, it's too strong.

36:18Every one a winner.

36:19Look, have you any idea how many burglar alarms,

36:21Alsatian dogs these jokers have got?

36:23Not to mention au pair girls.

36:25We're lucky to make two heads every five addresses.

36:29All right.

36:30Seven, then.

36:31Six.

36:33And a half.

36:34Done.

36:36Is this your body, girl?

36:39Two minutes, Magruder.

36:41The badminton net, remember?

36:43Get along, little doggy, get along.

36:48Who's that?

36:49I don't know.

36:50I've never seen him before.

36:52What did we say?

36:53Six.

36:54Was it?

36:55And a half.

36:57Oh.

36:59Soon be time to make like the Arabs, Carl.

37:01Hold our tents and steal away.

37:04That's what we are doing.

37:05Stealing away.

37:06My father had a formula for success.

37:09Always save a bit for the next man.

37:11My old man used to say never come down from the tree sun

37:13till he picked the last of them apples.

37:15Why hadn't he?

37:16He died.

37:17Oh.

37:18In jail.

37:19My father's got his own Cayman Island

37:21and he takes a new 17-year-old mistress

37:23every January the 1st.

37:25Hey, is that right?

37:26Why is it, Judy, that everything we do

37:28is either illegal or immoral?

37:31I don't know.

37:33Ask Ray.

37:37Put your glasses on.

37:39Single stone, claw set on 18-carat white gold,

37:45expanding shank, 1,340 pounds.

37:47French marble clock, ormula, mounts and pendulum, 500 pounds.

37:51Assigned dry point by Picasso, 1,200 pounds.

37:55Four 18th-century snuff boxes, 3,500.

37:58Now, have you got all that down?

37:59Were you a collector?

38:00Only as a hedge against inflation.

38:02Any items on this list bought in the same place?

38:06No.

38:07What about these gold coins?

38:08A hundred Kruger rounds.

38:09What were they worth?

38:10About 10,000 pounds.

38:12Where'd you get them from?

38:13Dealer in the city.

38:14Warburton's.

38:16Warburton's?

38:17Are these people?

38:23Ah.

38:23And they're light and bitter.

38:25How are you?

38:29Come here.

38:30I see you brought your little friend with you.

38:32Oh, I can't go anywhere without him.

38:33Well, what is this?

38:39A wake?

38:41Or do you think we've found the common denominator?

38:43Well, tell me more.

38:45Warburton's.

38:46Remember the name?

38:47The bullion house in the city.

38:49What were you doing there, Guth?

38:51Oh, it was that attempted snatch.

38:52Do you remember?

38:53The one down by the docks?

38:54During the strike?

38:55Yes, well, you missed out there, Jack.

38:57Yeah, I lost me crowbar that week.

38:59Well, we think the answer's Kruger-Ranz.

39:02What?

39:03Eleven victims so far.

39:05Eleven people who'd bought Kruger-Ranz.

39:07So, thousands, Jack.

39:08I mean, every pundit in the city recommended people to put some of their savings into gold.

39:12Yeah, but they didn't all buy their coins at Warburton's, did they?

39:16Warburton's.

39:16Eleven victims, eleven clients at Warburton's.

39:19Spot the leak and we're on our way.

39:23Well, how does this help me?

39:27It doesn't.

39:30Cheers.

39:32Ah, yes.

39:33The law has changed in 1971.

39:36No, it doesn't apply to coins which are legal tender.

39:38But there's no income, remember, so it's up to you.

39:41I'll call you back, Alex.

39:42I have someone with me.

39:46Sorry about that.

39:47I didn't quite get the drift of what you were telling me.

39:52Eleven robberies and all eleven were customers of yours.

39:54We call them clients rather than customers.

39:57By the time this breaks, you'll be lucky to have either.

39:59Jedi?

40:00Yes, Mr. Ohl.

40:00Jeddy? Yes, Mr. Earl?

40:04Judy, bring in the Kruger Run Register, will you? Yes, Mr. Earl.

40:16This could be a serious matter, Inspector.

40:18They're like bankers, you know.

40:20We pride ourselves on our discretion, our ability to read the wind.

40:22Thank you, Judy. Give me the names, Inspector.

40:24Crowley, Arthur George, Gerrard's Cross.

40:30Yes.

40:32Another?

40:33Gross, double S-E, Ian Phillip, Great Missenden.

40:38Another?

40:40Ferguson, Isabel Jane, Petersham, Surrey.

40:44Tell the managing director I'd like to see him right away.

40:46Right away.

40:47Tell Mr. Warren from security to meet me there.

40:49And don't mention a word of this to anyone else, you understand?

40:53The Kruger Runs are then sent either to the home...

40:56Through the post? Mm-hmm. Registered and insured.

40:59To the client's home or his bank. Safe to deposit box or whatever.

41:02I see. And they keep a list?

41:04I register with all the addresses.

41:06It's a who's who of plums ready for picking.

41:09And Kruger Runs aren't traceable?

41:10Nope. And they're easily negotiable.

41:12Zurich, Canada, South Africa, the States. Anywhere in the world.

41:16In and out like a rat in a coil around.

41:19Where was that? Oh, yeah, nice.

41:21Yeah, nice.

41:23Hello, Judy.

41:24You just can't do without me, can you?

41:25Colin, it's time to blow.

41:26Who says something?

41:27The big bad fuss.

41:28Not again.

41:29I thought that orca was fixed.

41:30Yeah, Askins, yeah, it cost us a fortune.

41:31Well, now there's a lot of money.

41:32It's time to blow.

41:33Who says something?

41:34The big bad fuss.

41:35Not again.

41:36I thought that orca was fixed.

41:37Askins, yeah, so you've got plenty of money.

41:38They'll never be able to go.

41:39Why isn't it?

41:40Who says something?

41:41No, no, no.

41:42I mean, what is that?

41:47What's that?

41:48Oh yeah, nice.

41:49Yeah, nice.

41:50Hello, Judy.

41:51You just can't do without me, can you?

41:52Colin, it's time to blow.

41:53Who says some?

41:54The big bad fuss.

41:55Not again.

41:56I thought that orca was fixed.

41:57Yeah, askins?

41:58Yeah, it cost us a fortune.

41:59Well, now there's another one.

42:00They're going through everyone who has access to the register.

42:02What's his name?

42:03Regan.

43:15well that Kruger Rands were the link

46:22Oh, fuck.

46:52Who's in charge?

46:58Iron.

46:59Police.

47:00Look at a couple of Australians.

47:02Australians?

47:03Yeah, jokers.

47:04Very flash.

47:05They used to work here.

47:06Used to?

47:07They left.

47:08When?

47:09Just after lunch.

47:10I'll get a couple of cars out at the airport.

47:11I'll get a description.

47:12What do they like?

47:13Rough.

47:14What do you mean, rough?

47:15Apparently, the key witness, Wally Vince, has vanished.

47:17Don't they always?

47:18A10 think he might have left the country.

47:22So the allegations are incapable of substantiation.

47:26You're reinstated immediately without loss of privilege, pay, or seniority.

47:31Here's your warrant card.

47:35In other words, it's service as usual.

47:38Frank.

47:39Thank you, sir.

47:41We've lost them, Gov.

47:44They're still checking the channel ports, though.

47:48Hold on.

47:49You'd do yourself a mischief.

47:51Or some you lose.

47:56We've lost before.

47:57Yeah, but we needn't have done.

47:59Couple of Aussie irons mugging us.

48:01Well, no one can blame us.

48:02I blame us.

48:03Stand and deliver.

48:04What's this?

48:05Your share of the bung.

48:06What bung?

48:07Haskins.

48:08It was in my coat pocket.

48:09Remember?

48:10I can't do that, Gov.
