Transcript
00:00Five years ago, Mr. Regan, were you a detective sergeant, second class, working in the robbery squad of the divisional C.I.D. Chumley?
00:22Were you the sergeant who dealt with the Golden May Dairy robbery in Panda Street, Chumley?
00:27You said on the phone mills you had information for me.
00:31Oh, we've got something for you.
00:33Five years old, I'm a busy man.
00:35Trust me, I wouldn't bring you here.
00:38Nobody brings me anywhere, ducky.
00:41All right, invite you.
00:44Were you in charge of that job?
00:46Yeah.
00:47But I don't like being cross-examined by ragmen.
00:50I'm sure we're both in the same business of establishing the truth.
00:53You don't need hidden tapes for that.
00:55Is it not right the job was a three-hander and one man escaped?
01:00You still want that man?
01:02You'll win a coconut if you give him to me.
01:04Was that man five feet, eight inches tall, sandy-haired, slightly built, sunken eyes?
01:10Yeah.
01:11One witness described him as wearing a sort of garage man's dungarees.
01:15You reckon he'll still be wearing that gear?
01:17I realise, Mr. Regan, that the duty of a policeman is always to protect his informant.
01:24And nowadays, if there is an informant, there are strict rules.
01:27But we're talking about the past, aren't we?
01:30This is the truth.
01:33I've been doing some work for Mr. Regan over the years.
01:37They've been good to me and my mother.
01:40But he was very ambitious.
01:43But I'd done it.
01:44I was with him.
01:46I was the third man.
01:48One, but got away.
01:49Why did Regan want you to pick on Woods and Davis?
01:54I crossed him and he wanted to work one hour on them.
01:58I was the man in the dungarees.
02:02You smell nice.
02:05Do you recognise the man?
02:07Where's the man whose voice is on that tape?
02:19Governor, we've been smudged.
02:36That's all.
03:06I'm sure we've got a very worried Mr. Plod, but he hasn't admitted anything.
03:25Get me, Thomas.
03:27He's too canny.
03:29I'll lay the tiniest of bets, say, ten thousand to one, but he won't report this to his commander, is he sure?
03:36Yeah.
03:38Meryl, keep a good eye on Noah. The noose is tightening very nicely.
03:43Will do.
03:45Cup of tea, Noah.
03:49No, just give me another one of them.
04:06Drive around the block nine times, and we'll meet you back at the factory.
04:24Look, I'm not going to go into a great rigmarole. I just want to tell you what that little scene was about.
04:37What you just witnessed was aggro for me, and because you were there, it could mean bother for you.
04:43I switched the button off before I spoke.
04:44Yeah, they got others.
04:47Well, you know the score.
04:48What you saw was an allegation of conspiracy against me.
04:51Now, when it hits the fan, he'll be in a safe corner.
04:55Get it off.
04:57Look, as a result of that dairy job, I had a good run on the selection board.
05:00It was promoted from detective sergeant second class to first class.
05:05It was a swing point. Now, take it.
05:06So, what now?
05:16Well, I should report this to Haskins, but I won't.
05:19What's bloody more? Mills knows I won't.
05:22They want to see me put myself about a bit.
05:24They want the joy of jumping up and down on me when I'm under a pancake.
05:28And it'll give me a bit of time.
05:30Well, let me help. Look, that's your out, son!
05:33All right, OK, OK.
05:36Oh, Governor, when we win, I'm in a queue for the medals, right?
05:42So why can't I be trusted now?
05:44That dairy job got me where I am now.
05:46All I'll get out of this is no promotion for the rest of my service.
05:49Do you want some of that?
05:54Haskins?
05:55I think you're Mr. Regans, a very naughty man.
05:58Who is he?
06:06You see, Jack, was anything true in that office?
06:12The voice on the tape was one Noah Riley.
06:16There were three men on that flag, but Noah was the snout.
06:20He never took part in it. He just told me.
06:23The two we nicked, Dennis Woods and Ernie Davis,
06:25all their lunatics, and I mean cannibals.
06:27I first nicked Davis when he was 18.
06:31And the last time, they've both got eight years.
06:34The third one's still circulating.
06:37And if they were put away for eight, and they're good little cannibals,
06:40they're about due out, aren't they, five years?
06:41They're out.
06:43And I reckon they've sussed Noah as the snout,
06:45and they're using it to put the finger on me.
06:48And he wasn't making a statement.
06:49He was reading a script.
06:51I'm ambitious.
06:52Yeah, and he can't win, Governor.
06:56I mean, your Noah's obviously got form, right?
06:58Well, he'd never hold water in the box.
07:01Noah's clean.
07:02He's got no form.
07:03That's why the heavies use him.
07:05Yeah, but why'd he go to papers?
07:06Saying that he did something he didn't?
07:08Because he's terrified, that's why.
07:11You get banged up for five years, you do a lot of thinking.
07:14They want my blood.
07:16And they put the frightens on Noah to set me up.
07:19I don't want me doing porridge or out of the force.
07:22And if I'm out of the force,
07:23I'm up to invitations down dark alleys, right?
07:26Then he goes to mills.
07:28That gets in the papers.
07:29Well, it's a new gospel, isn't it?
07:31Only let me have clean coppers about me.
07:34Why don't they frighten him that much?
07:36I told you, the learner takes.
07:38They take his mother's toes off one by one.
07:41He loves his mother, see?
07:45Okay, well, I'm going looking for trouble.
07:47You all right? I'll come.
07:48No, no, no.
07:49I can't remember addresses from five years back.
07:52You go over to Brentford if you want
07:53and get the docket on that dairy job.
07:56I'll make you back in the factory.
08:01When did a filth use public boxes, then?
08:04They don't want nobody to know.
08:06Right.
08:08Little Noah must be saying the right thing.
08:11Quick learner.
08:12You're in it, Regan.
08:13I'm going to hit that filth like an air raid.
08:16Yeah.
08:20I booked it in in the chorus book with the clerk.
08:22Right.
08:24Governor, why make it open?
08:25A fissile?
08:26Well, how else can I get addresses from five years back?
08:29There.
08:33That's Davies' old address.
08:35Nobody there knows you work with me.
08:36See what you can find out.
08:37And remember, we're not dealing with the girl guides.
08:40If they've set Noah up, they'll be watching the way I walk.
08:42So I want somebody watching them.
08:45Yeah, well, it's nice to be trusted.
08:46Hang on.
08:48You busy, Jack?
08:49Yeah.
08:50Yeah.
08:51Well, that's a bit old.
08:53Yeah, it was just an idea.
08:54It came or nothing.
08:54Tell me, have you added any enemies to that long list of yours?
09:00What?
09:01I had a funny one this morning.
09:03The man reckons you're a naughty boy.
09:05Yeah, I should be sent to bed with no dinner.
09:11Is Jack all right?
09:14Yes, Scott.
09:14You sure?
09:16Yes, Scott.
09:18Good.
09:18Don't look so relieved of my going, Sergeant.
09:40Look.
09:40You give us a signed statement
09:44giving us exclusive rights to your story
09:46and we'll publish
09:48and pay mum 200 quid down
09:52and a lot more to come.
09:55Why not now?
09:56We're not ready, are we?
09:58With you, I mean.
09:59Until you've signed your statements.
10:01You know, you're costing us a bomb keeping you here.
10:04Well, you're worth it, but
10:06we can't go on like this forever now, can we?
10:08You want mum paid?
10:12That suits us.
10:14Nobody can say we paid you.
10:19Despite A10,
10:20we don't trust the police to investigate themselves.
10:25We don't like whitewash.
10:28We want plenty of your black paint for Mr. Regan.
10:31Why?
10:32Well, you came to us with a story.
10:34It's all in the public interest.
10:37Pinning bent cockles.
10:38Who are you afraid of, hmm?
10:46Woodson Davis.
10:48Well, they can't do anything to you
10:50in the plastered all over the Sunday breakfast table,
10:52can they?
10:56Regan.
10:56You come look in.
10:58Well, think of all the thousands of hotel rooms in London.
11:01Can't stand me and cooped up.
11:03Well, just as well you didn't go inside then,
11:07didn't it, eh?
11:11Drink.
11:11Oh, look, Noah.
11:15Everybody's got a mother.
11:18Yeah, well.
11:21She's one of the angels.
11:22I haven't heard from my Noah for four days.
11:30Do you mind if I sit down?
11:31Yeah.
11:32Doesn't matter much what I do.
11:34It still hurts,
11:35but it's not so bad when I sit down.
11:38Yes, I'll have one, thanks.
11:44Has anybody been here for him?
11:45No.
11:46Dr. Manor.
11:47No friends?
11:48No.
11:50Just went.
11:51Thanks.
11:53Does he still work the same place?
11:54You won't find him there.
11:57They've been looking for him as well.
11:59You want a cup of tea?
12:01No.
12:02Do you?
12:03I find it hard without him getting round
12:07and doing things.
12:08I don't want any other woman in my house.
12:11I know that.
12:13He's one of the angels.
12:16And when did you last see him?
12:19He's wrong on Friday, half past two.
12:22Did he sound, er...
12:24all right?
12:26My Noah doesn't drink.
12:29Was it a long distance call?
12:31How would I know that?
12:33He said he's something special to do.
12:35I said, are you in trouble, son?
12:37He said, no, he'll ring every day to see how I was.
12:40Only he hasn't.
12:44Where is he?
12:46And now you've come.
12:49He doesn't lie, Noah, does he?
12:51Never.
12:52Did he mention anybody else when he rang you?
12:57He always spoke well of you.
13:00He must be in trouble.
13:01I thought you knew where he was.
13:07What's happening?
13:08Did he mention any newspapers?
13:10Have you received any, er, strange money?
13:18You tell me what's happening, please.
13:21Fancy a night out?
13:38Me's up Mother Brown.
13:40What lovely.
13:41Your car.
13:42Unofficial.
13:44You don't have to.
13:45I've given you your envelope.
13:47Tore that up.
13:51Could be double careful, though, haven't we?
13:53All belt and braces.
13:55Listen, what is it?
13:55Who gets the night first?
13:56I saw them.
13:57There's going to be a lot of faces around.
14:00Woods and Davies are having their coming out at Fred's pub.
14:03Normally, that scene's up to West End, all flashing double gins.
14:07But tonight's going to be a knees-up.
14:08So it could be a set-up.
14:10What, and we just walk in?
14:11Through the back.
14:13Look, I haven't got time to wait.
14:16Governor, look.
14:17Look, I know there's going to be a lot of nervous people around,
14:19but I've got to get a result.
14:25Look, there's nothing stopping us having a drink, is there?
14:27Look.
14:32Well, it never has before, has it?
14:38I love you.
14:41Oh, don't come too near, Woodsley.
14:44I'm only human, darling.
14:45My O'Reilly's doorstep, and that's an order.
14:48Oh, get you, ducky.
14:50Well, it's your ball we're playing with, dear.
14:52Hang on a minute while I get into drag.
14:56Now, you madam.
14:57It is madam, isn't it?
14:58I don't believe it.
15:00It takes one to know one, dear.
15:02You're in charge.
15:03Remember, we discussed it the other week down at the swamp.
15:06Right?
15:07She's a liar, dear.
15:08I've never spoken to her before in my life.
15:11From the top.
15:13What a lovely laugh, isn't she?
15:15Right from the top.
15:21They're coming, Mr. Davis,
15:23and they're coming their own motor.
15:25Vanish.
15:25She's got a little hole in her frock,
15:41hole in her shoe,
15:43hole in her stock,
15:45and we're at the beach through our body.
15:48Drink, Mr. Regan.
16:13deep, or taste not.
16:17What's your poison?
16:19You, son.
16:29That's just for starters, Regan.
16:41Later for you, Ooster.
16:48It's all very much, dear.
16:50Yeah.
16:50Detective Chief Inspector Haskins,
17:08New Scotland Yard.
17:09Can you please give me the present prison
17:11the following two men are in?
17:13Number one, Dennis Woods.
17:15Date of birth,
17:17one, niner,
17:18three, five.
17:27Good morning, Jack.
17:30There must have been some lady
17:31if she could eat you both
17:32and spit you out.
17:33Now,
17:36what is this?
17:38I've said.
17:39These are five years old.
17:41Yeah, well, you know our motto.
17:42We never give up.
17:44Good.
17:45But why Woods and Davis?
17:47In your room, sir.
17:48We don't have a secret room, Jack.
17:50This is your own squad sitting in here.
17:52I asked you a simple question.
17:53What's the simple answer?
17:54Yes.
17:55Yes.
17:55Yes.
17:55Jack?
18:10You're out of order
18:10in front of my troops.
18:11You know the rules in this game.
18:12If you want to have a pop at me,
18:14in private.
18:15Getting a rocket in front of DC's
18:16does not come right.
18:17What rocket?
18:18I'm working on something.
18:19Well, who's working on you?
18:21You look like the M1 in a fog.
18:25When it's right for your ears,
18:29you'll be told.
18:30I demand to be told now.
18:32Request refused, sir.
18:35Detective Inspector Regan,
18:37you have until nine o'clock
18:38tomorrow morning
18:39to answer my question.
18:41Failure to do so
18:42will result in both of us
18:43going to see the commander.
18:45Don't forget your warrant card
18:46and pocketbook.
18:48The commander will want to take them
18:49from you when he suspends you.
18:55That I did not need.
18:58You look beautiful.
19:00Should see me ribs.
19:02I've got 24 hours.
19:04Any ideas?
19:05Why not go to A10?
19:06Get taken off the case?
19:08Noah's lying, right?
19:10Soon as A10 are in,
19:10they'll bang a caution on him
19:11for the take alone.
19:13He's admitted a criminal offence on him.
19:16You reckon he'd start telling the truth?
19:18He might, Governor.
19:19No way.
19:20Mills wouldn't bet them anywhere near him
19:21without his brief saying,
19:22don't answer, don't answer.
19:23No, I'm the only one
19:25who can find Noah.
19:26I've got to.
19:28Permission to speak.
19:30Hudson Davis know where he is.
19:32No, I want them following me,
19:33not me them.
19:34That way I know where they are
19:35when I do want them.
19:37I've got to find Hooter.
19:39Listen, if we're short of time,
19:40we'd better split up.
19:41What shall I do?
19:43Well, we're supposed to be on duty.
19:44You'd better stay here and look busy.
19:45Oh, Jack.
19:46Uh, just a word, please.
19:53You're not over busy at the moment.
20:06Our Canadian friend left via Shannon yesterday,
20:08so he's out of our hair for a few weeks.
20:10The divisional commander, Peckham,
20:12is still screaming about those handbag snatches.
20:14He reckoned it's a hard core of 10 or 12
20:16divided into teams of three or four.
20:18So if you've got any spare,
20:19you go looking south, right?
20:22Oh, by the way,
20:23I see your two old friends
20:25came up at the briefing,
20:26Woods and Davies.
20:27Yeah?
20:27And Davies is keeping down
20:29in Southport Street,
20:30not the address he gave on release,
20:32with Johnny Standings' bird
20:33in the flat over the laundrette.
20:34Standings inside?
20:36She didn't let the bed get cold.
20:38It's welcome back all the way.
20:39They're driving around in minicabs.
20:40Any help?
20:45Thanks.
21:06Noah?
21:08You...
21:09You said you weren't violent.
21:14What is all this?
21:15Why do you want to hang the dog?
21:17I'm wanting you in here!
21:21Some people do things
21:22and some write about them.
21:25Look,
21:27I'm not a heavy.
21:28I'm a newspaper man.
21:31I've got a wife and budget.
21:32You want my science, Damon, right?
21:35Yes.
21:35What happens then?
21:37We research.
21:38We check up.
21:38Then we publish.
21:42Then you get paid the remainder.
21:44What happens to me?
21:45Well, that depends.
21:47On what?
21:48Back off.
21:51On what you want to do?
21:53I want to know
21:54that my mother's all right.
21:57She can't do without me.
21:59Will Mr. Regan go on trial?
22:04Probably.
22:06Your conscience is clear.
22:09Our lawyers will try to get immunity for you.
22:11You'll give evidence against Regan.
22:14He's the one who's bent.
22:16You want my science statement?
22:18You don't get it till I see her.
22:20You can't.
22:20Oh, yes, I'll come on.
22:26Give it, man.
22:28Come on.
22:32You let me find her then.
22:34And you can have this.
22:37And I'll write.
22:37He's going for Uta.
22:50Well, you open your mouth, Uta,
22:52and it'll be later for you, my old son.
22:55Mills.
22:56Tommy.
22:57Everything's dandy,
22:58but our friend won't make any statement
22:59unless he's allowed to ring his mother.
23:02I don't know what you want me to do.
23:03You said no call.
23:04How is he?
23:05Just a little bit tense.
23:07But we can't make a move if he won't...
23:10All right.
23:11But no tricks.
23:13I know he came to us,
23:14but I don't trust these mugs any further
23:15than I could spit them.
23:18You know the number,
23:19so you do the calling.
23:21Oh, and Tommy.
23:22When you get that statement,
23:24I want it full
23:24and enough to run for a month of Sundays.
23:27Don't forget.
23:31It's okay.
23:32Give me that number again.
23:44Okay, Harry, that's it.
23:48Leave me alone, Mr. Regan.
23:50You play both sides,
23:51you get what's coming, son.
23:53I'm doing.
23:54I told you about the booze-up.
23:56And look what happened.
23:57What about me?
23:59Horrible.
24:01Listen,
24:01they haven't been out long enough
24:02to pick up anything but beer money,
24:04so who's supplying them with minicabs?
24:07Oh, he's straight, Mr. Regan.
24:09He's a kind of little John Bentley
24:11round here, Manny Bello.
24:13Straight with those two for mates.
24:14Oh, I know it's disgusting,
24:16but he's right down the middle.
24:18I mean,
24:18I tried to shove it here his way,
24:20keep the old wolf and that,
24:21but he wouldn't have it.
24:23Nothing bent.
24:24He's trying to make a million,
24:27Mr. Regan.
24:28Through charity?
24:28Come on, him, sir.
24:29Was he in here last night?
24:31Come in!
24:32Ah, yes,
24:33come to think of it,
24:33he was.
24:34You know,
24:35drinking quiet,
24:36and all the faces
24:37parked near me in the back,
24:38but he just sat there,
24:40and they let him alone.
24:42I've got to go.
24:43How long's he been on the manor?
24:44Six or seven years.
24:46He's got all the concessions
24:47round the boozers.
24:48Where's his till?
24:48You better tell me,
24:55Oda,
24:55if you want to be lucky.
24:59Maybe she's out shopping.
25:01She has it done for her.
25:03Well,
25:04perhaps having a cup.
25:07How old is she?
25:08She sleeps in the afternoon.
25:12Something's wrong.
25:13Look,
25:14we've got permission.
25:16We can try again later.
25:18They're fingers.
25:20They're like twigs.
25:23Now,
25:24do you,
25:25me?
25:26Come on.
25:48Manny Bellow?
25:50That's right.
25:52Can I help?
25:54You know Dennis Woods and Ernie Davis?
25:58You're the old Bill.
26:00I asked a question.
26:02So did I.
26:042-9-2-9.
26:06Yeah.
26:08Yeah.
26:10Ex-cons usually traipse around collecting beer money.
26:12You give them a minicab. Why?
26:142-9-2-9.
26:16It's taken me a long time to get accepted in this area.
26:20I keep everybody sweet.
26:222-9-2-9.
26:24Look at me.
26:26And where are they?
26:28Clear at Tibbets Corner.
26:30Okay Danny.
26:32I'll manage that.
26:36I see you've got a lot of little numbers going round here.
26:40Already.
26:422-9-2-9. Clear at Tibbets Corner.
26:44Mr. Regan. Like you.
26:46Who told you my name?
26:50I make it my business to know.
26:52Everything I touch is legit.
26:56I'm a very careful man.
26:58With friends like yours you need to be.
27:00But knowing my name is a bit careless.
27:02What's your height?
27:045-foot-9.
27:06You won't mind if I spend a couple of hours in the basement of the company's house.
27:10Going through your interests Mr. Bellow.
27:12Directorships.
27:13Fellow directors.
27:14Not at all.
27:16But why?
27:17I want to know where you were on the night of the 27th of December 1969.
27:213-7.
27:221969.
27:24I was living in Leamington.
27:263-7 here.
27:27Do you remember where you were?
27:29Is there anybody reading me?
27:31Woods Davies and I were having an argument about 18 grand's worth of Christmas takings and a certain death.
27:383-7, 3-7.
27:40Hold on a sec.
27:42Mrs. Royley?
27:51Yes?
27:52Who is it?
27:54Ma.
27:55Ma.
27:56How are you?
27:57How are you?
27:58You all right?
27:59Where are you Noel?
28:01Why do somebody else have to ring me?
28:04Tell me where you are.
28:05Are you all right?
28:07Give me that number.
28:09Yeah, I'm all right.
28:10I can't give you the number.
28:11I can't give you the number. Nothing's wrong.
28:14If nothing's the matter, why aren't you here where you should be?
28:18Why is everybody looking for you?
28:20And what's so important that you have to go away?
28:24My health's all right. I've just been ignored.
28:28I'm all right. I'm all right if you're all right.
28:32I'm earning. I'm where I always wanted to be.
28:35Four-star comfort. You know what I mean?
28:37All right, son.
28:39That Mr. Regan's been here.
28:41I eaten enough.
28:43I've eaten enough. Are you eating enough?
28:47How can I when I don't know when you're going to ring again?
28:51Well, you tell anybody who wants to know.
28:54No tricks, we said.
28:56Well, how's that gonna leave us? She wants to know where I'm falling from.
28:59Your part of the bargain, Mr. Riley.
29:09No-one.
29:10No-one.
29:11No-one.
29:12No-one.
29:13No-one.
29:14Yes, scab, there's been one.
29:24Noah's mum, she wants to see you.
29:26Noah's been on.
29:27All right, I'll go.
29:29Listen, George, get on the company's house.
29:31Dig up all the dirt you can on one Emmanuel Bellow.
29:34Money.
29:37I've still got them with me.
29:39I'm keeping them out of trouble.
29:41You tell Mr. Davis we're okay.
29:44Mr. Wood says to say we're okay.
29:48Good.
29:49You go home now, Danny.
29:51Day!
29:52Come on, son.
29:53Home you go.
29:55I'm stuck in heavy traffic of Edward Road.
30:01He has to wait for me with the wife gone.
30:05Point is, are we okay, man?
30:07I don't understand you.
30:09I don't know what you want.
30:12Dennis wants his six grand.
30:14I want mine.
30:16Well, it's all tied up.
30:18You've got two-thirds of the action.
30:20They're yours.
30:21We earned it.
30:24Look.
30:26If it's ready as you want, there's some in there.
30:29If you can, hang on.
30:31Let me take my time, sell it bit by bit.
30:33There'll be 40 grand.
30:38I mean, it's got to take time.
30:40Hot dogs, minicabs, fish stalls, scaffolding.
30:43I've already put another five grand into that escort agency.
30:51Look, Ernie.
30:53I want to try laundrettes.
30:55All you've got to do is check on them once a week and collect.
30:58All the slaves do the running about.
30:59We draw the dough.
31:00We're sleeping partners.
31:01Three-one, three-one, three-one.
31:02Please, Ernie.
31:03See sense.
31:06Stuff your fish food, all of it.
31:09Three-one, three-one.
31:10I wanted my dough minded.
31:12I told you from all I had a plan.
31:15We've readies.
31:16Regan's the plan.
31:17He's a cyst.
31:19Then we're going.
31:21Ernie, you've been away.
31:23Is that so?
31:24Your judgment might not be as sharp.
31:29Look, Ernie.
31:30The only people we're doing are the tax lot.
31:32Even the old bill do them.
31:34We're legit.
31:37Everybody loves me.
31:39Even the old bill.
31:41You've had a visit.
31:45Well, you don't think that I'm in with the old bill.
31:50I told you he was coming.
31:51Look, all I'm saying is things are moving.
31:58I want my money.
32:01Three-one, three-one.
32:02Look.
32:04Conveyancing transfers.
32:05Well, you conveyed it away from the dairy, old son.
32:09You'll just have to convey it back again to us.
32:13Friday.
32:13Four-star comfort.
32:24Definitely four-star.
32:25Yes.
32:27Now, look, Mrs. Riley, I don't know, neither do you,
32:29whether that was a hint or not,
32:30but for a lot of reasons, I've got to take it as one.
32:33Who's in trouble?
32:34You are in.
32:36Both.
32:37All right.
32:39That's why I phoned you, I suppose.
32:41Yeah, I'm just waiting on the teleprinter,
32:56coming back on Bellow.
32:58It'll take time, Gov.
33:00Ring round all the four-star hotels and above.
33:03You know where my little book is.
33:04Only speak to security and make sure they're ex-coppers.
33:07Now, find out if there's a two-up in any of the rooms.
33:10And he's poisoned vodka.
33:12They'll be lacing him with it and he never comes out.
33:15Now, don't bother with reception and computers.
33:17Fast.
33:24When Maynoah was born,
33:26we could put him in a two-pound sugar box.
33:30Stick with him, then.
33:30I'll get down there.
33:34Convey.
33:35You frightened, Dave?
33:51Oi, is there one there?
33:57Shall I help?
33:58Well, he ain't come out yet.
34:20Would Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Kennedy from Boston...
34:23Yes?
34:31Governor?
34:32I reckon we've got him.
34:48Where is he?
34:49I'm going to get him.
34:50Now, listen, until I come back,
34:52you don't open the door to anybody, all right?
34:53What's he done?
34:54Nobody.
34:57And you locked the door behind me.
35:04Here we go.
35:05He's tumbled it.
35:26He's going where Noah's at.
35:28You want me to follow him or you?
35:29And I'll pop up and do her manicure, eh?
35:31No.
35:32We'll stick with him.
35:34I'll never get through there.
35:36Go round the outside, then, lively!
35:38Den, you berk!
35:56I never knew reverse was on the left.
35:58I'm out of practice, am I?
36:01Yeah.
36:02Lost it!
36:03Let's get back to Mother Riley's doorstep.
36:07She's bound to know where our little Nellie is.
36:12It's 4026.
36:13Why, the vodka's been going in there,
36:14they'll be singing Red Sowers in the sunset.
36:16You get rid of Thomas.
36:19Telegram for Mr. Thomas!
36:25All right, come on!
36:26Come on, the last hell of me!
36:27Get off!
36:29Listen!
36:30What the hell are you doing?
36:34Out of the bath!
36:35That dairy job was hit and miss.
37:00Because when you tipped me off,
37:01you didn't know when it was,
37:02Thursday, Friday or Saturday, did you?
37:03A detective sergeant second class
37:06can't call out the cavalry, can it?
37:10You're a steaming idiot!
37:11You've got a mother going out of her mind!
37:13What the hell are you playing at?
37:16Noah!
37:17Don't ask me, Mr. Regan.
37:18We've been mates a long time.
37:21You're out of your tiny skull.
37:24Friends don't lie.
37:25So why are you lying?
37:28You're lying because of mum.
37:30You don't want her toes coming off,
37:31so down I go!
37:32You don't matter.
37:34Oh, yeah?
37:35Why the four-star clue, then, if I don't know?
37:38I don't know.
37:40All right.
37:41You go ahead.
37:42You go to jail for a lie.
37:45You weren't there.
37:46I know it, you know it,
37:48and Woods and Davies know it.
37:49And I warn you,
37:50you haven't got a snowball's chance in hell
37:52of banging me up.
37:53Well, by the time I get through
37:54with my testimony,
37:56and Woods and Davies finished theirs,
37:58even with their form,
37:59in the white was a mess-up.
38:01And where the money went...
38:02Still no chance.
38:04Well, maybe they don't even want you banged up.
38:06Just create a stink.
38:08Hold you lot up to the light,
38:10not a brain in sight.
38:11Yeah.
38:12Yeah, they want me loose on a dark night.
38:15They're animals, Mr. Regan.
38:16You don't know how.
38:17I know where she is.
38:31You've been fair.
38:32But if it comes down to you or her,
38:34I'll do good for her every time.
38:36I can protect her.
38:38For how long?
38:39Convince me I'm wrong.
38:41Why the hell should I?
38:43Look, I like her,
38:44but you're trying to bang me up
38:45in a big cell.
38:47We'll crucify you in the box.
38:49I'm the third man.
38:51You and Manny Bellow.
38:54So you were lying.
38:56I don't help liar, son.
38:58Help me.
38:59Help me.
39:05You OK?
39:07OK.
39:07I'll put Mum somewhere safe
39:10with men alongside.
39:12And you say nothing.
39:13Right.
39:15I'll go with you.
39:16No, no.
39:16You stay here.
39:18Refuse to write anything,
39:19but stay here.
39:21Why?
39:22Why can't you hide me with her?
39:23Not on your sweet Nelly.
39:25Listen, I'll keep my promise.
39:27Mum will be safe,
39:27and that's your clear.
39:29But when I've done,
39:29A-10 will want to talk to you,
39:31and that's my clear.
39:32You stay here.
39:36I can't stand being cooped up.
39:37How long for?
39:39Just as long as it takes me
39:40to prove conspiracy
39:41against those two lunatics.
39:51You can have him.
39:54You bastard, Regan!
39:59You'll know he was
40:00a right little thespian,
40:01didn't he?
40:01Where to now?
40:02A-10?
40:03Not yet.
40:03I'll keep my promises.
40:05He'll only tell them
40:06what he told us.
40:06Not till Mum's safe.
40:08I had to leave her.
40:08We're unofficial.
40:09I also had to lose
40:10Repman and Bobbin
40:11on the way here.
40:12Even their thick skulls
40:13that work out
40:13must have got the information
40:14from her place.
40:16They'll be there.
40:17We'll collect.
40:20Stairs.
40:25Regan's been here.
40:27Well, they forced their way
40:28and they kept me in the loo.
40:31They had a quick go at Noah,
40:32then they went.
40:33Now he wants their bloody thing.
40:35Yeah, well,

47:58Are you all right, madam?
48:06Yes, thank you.
48:10What have we got?
48:12Take your pick.
48:13Conspiracy to pervert me or kidnapping an old lady.
48:17Yes, well, stay away from it.
48:20I have.
48:21Until nine tomorrow.
48:23Sharp, my office.
48:28Are you all right?
48:42You failed to notify a superior officer of an allegation of crime made against you?
48:46You met a man allegedly a material witness against you?
48:49You detained a man in a bathroom against his will?
48:52You know, there's a multitude of offenses under the discipline code they could throw at you,
48:56so why the hell didn't you come to me?
48:57We could have gone to A-10.
48:59The good book doesn't cover all circumstances.
49:02I've got to stand by what I've done.
49:04It was done to save me.
49:06You and I have never seen eye to eye.
49:09You went against the book, and for me that's wrong.
49:13And if it's any help, I'll put a word in.
49:15Right, A-10.
49:18As a result of a little meeting I had this morning...
49:21If it's any consolation, I was torn into little bits too.
49:24I mean, I'll never make chief inspector.
49:27But I'm still a bloody good D.O.
49:29I'm still a bloody good D.O.
49:29Okay.
49:42Bye.
