00:30Take that ring off.
00:37Shut up or I cut it off.
00:40Hey, Tim.
00:43Last race, 9.37.
00:45That'll be him.
00:51You make a sound, you'll have one leg between.
01:00Tom, I'm backing them, Sturman.
01:04You're a mick.
01:05You're a paddy.
01:06Who are you?
01:07Belfast?
01:08Derry?
01:09Take the money for Christ's sake.
01:10I'm going.
01:11There's nothing else here.
01:12Yes, yes.
01:13And you're a paddy and I don't like paddy.
01:16I don't like mick five.
01:17I don't like the Irish.
01:22I'll show you a little snake.
01:26There's nothing.
01:36No, no, no.
02:08Welcome to C8. Sweeney, the heavy mob, and others that we won't go into.
02:13Thank you, sir.
02:14This is very impressive. I remember the supermarket job.
02:17I've been lucky, sir.
02:17Well, you can only be lucky so many times.
02:208-0 levels, 2-A levels, reading for the bar.
02:23Will you play cricket for the Met?
02:24A couple of times, sir. Pounding the beat down on fine leg.
02:27Come on, there's a sporting type. Ex-rugger.
02:29Soccer, sir. Inside forward.
02:34Well, we should bloom by Christmas.
02:36Ah, Bianca. This is my secretary. Detective Sergeant Hargreaves.
02:41Hello.
02:43I think you should meet D.I. Regan.
02:44That's Patrick Shaw.
02:58They really gave him a hiding. Shot him in the kneecap.
03:00Oh, dear.
03:02Must have been blood all over the place.
03:03Yeah.
03:04All dry-cleaning establishments within, what, a five-mile radius, George?
03:08Right.
03:10Mo Simmons?
03:11What's this mean?
03:13He's one of your snouts, isn't he?
03:14One of the best, yeah.
03:15He's just been nicked.
03:16Dishonestly handling.
03:17The burk.
03:19All right.
03:20Leave it with me.
03:20Oh, Jack, uh, this is Bob Hargreaves, I told you about him.
03:26Oh, yeah. Yeah, nice to have you with us.
03:28Sir.
03:28You don't have to be mad, but it helps.
03:31Yeah, that's right, yeah.
03:32This is George Carter.
03:33George?
03:33Have we met before?
03:35Finchley.
03:35Ross.
03:36Oh, that's right, yeah.
03:37I'll see Ross.
03:38He's all right.
03:38I thought you might fill Sergeant Hargreaves in on the short case, then.
03:41Cut his teeth on that.
03:41Yeah, all right.
03:42Nothing.
03:43Anything new on the whiskey hydro?
03:44No.
03:45If a truckload of dry ginger goes missing, we'll let you know.
03:48Oblige.
03:51You all right?
03:53No, thanks.
03:53I don't.
03:55Cheers, guys.
03:57Well, Shaw's a bookie.
03:59Well, he was a bookie.
04:00He's got more bones broken than I can spell.
04:02Will he live?
04:05You came back from the dogs a couple of nights ago.
04:08Catford?
04:10Yeah, that's right.
04:11They run there on Tuesdays.
04:13Yeah, well, when he gets in, there's a reception committee, isn't there?
04:16Shotgun, steel toe caps, the whole shtick.
04:18Did they get much?
04:20700 quid.
04:21Plus whatever they fancied from the house.
04:23Silver rings, the usual, you know.
04:24Sounds more like a division chop, sir.
04:26According to info, it wasn't a local firm.
04:28Two men, one called Tim, no recognisable MO.
04:31You made a bright start, then.
04:34What's he going?
04:43Meet one of his snouts.
04:45Widow Twangy.
04:45A laundrette?
04:47Who was meeting a laundrette?
04:50Oh, dear old Lord, look at that.
04:53What are they saying about schoolgirls?
04:55Those white socks, short skirts.
04:57What's your fetish?
04:58I'm married.
04:59Fair enough, it's perfect.
05:01You're married, George?
05:02No, I wasn't.
05:04No.
05:04We're gone.
05:06We're fine.
05:08I'm afraid that's all I can tell you, Jack.
05:11All right, now.
05:12Uh, couldn't do these for us, could you, by tonight?
05:14Yeah, sure, yeah.
05:15I might know you go, then.
05:16Right.
05:17Hello, love.
05:30Can we come in?
05:32Oh, uh, this is Sergeant Igreaves.
05:34He's just joined our team.
05:36Hello.
05:37You're not alone, are you?
05:40No, me auntie's just gone down the shops.
05:43Any news of the hospital?
05:44Uh, Dad's still in intensive care.
05:46Mum's a bit better, though.
05:47Did they hit her as well?
05:48No, it affected her ticker.
05:49Oh, I see.
05:50Come in and sit down.
05:51I'll make some tea.
05:51No, no, don't worry about that.
05:52I just wanted to know, why weren't you working on Tuesday night?
05:55Well, it's only part-time.
05:57More for something to do, really.
05:59Yeah, Eileen pulls pints down the local boozer.
06:00She'll put one for me any time.
06:02Did the local boys show you any photos?
06:04Yeah, no joy.
06:05There was one thing, though.
06:07They had shortish haircuts.
06:08Well, both of them?
06:09Yeah.
06:10Why didn't you mention this before?
06:12Well, I just remembered.
06:14Have you remembered anything else?
06:15Look, I've been over and over it.
06:18I'll get some tea.
06:19Non-usual words, distinctive watches, tattoos, rings.
06:21Only me mums.
06:23I'm going to go wedding ring, you bastards.
06:25Short haircuts.
06:28Army dessert?
06:30Yeah, time with the Irish angle, wouldn't it?
06:32Do they know he's Irish?
06:33Don't know.
06:33Apparently, uh, the accent set him off.
06:35Was that Tim or the other one?
06:36Yeah, Tim.
06:37Mr. Shaw said something, and Wallop.
06:39Oh, a kneecap.
06:40The gun and the cushion, now, that's pure IRA.
06:42IRA, yeah.
06:43Maybe a couple of them tried to come in, put a bite on,
06:45and he wouldn't give any.
06:45Check with the Army.
06:47We'll have tea first, eh?
06:48Hey.
07:00You allow that, do you?
07:03What?
07:03You're Doug chatting up birds.
07:05Why not?
07:05You never know where it might lead to.
07:07He might develop a taste for it, wouldn't he?
07:09You want to watch it?
07:10Why'd you have to shoot that short?
07:13I've got me reasons.
07:14Stupid ones, like leaving a note.
07:17Amateurs at work.
07:18You start cracking skulls, you get old Bill out in strength.
07:22A straightforward blag, nobody bothers.
07:25Call the insurance and save the ratepayers' money.
07:27Listen, ratbag!
07:29You gave us the wrong bloody number.
07:31What?
07:31You told us 27.
07:32We ended up going around half the district
07:34till we found the right one,
07:35which happened to be 24.
07:38I told you 24, clear as a bell.
07:40Hey!
07:42Ripped your flesh coat?
07:45Yeah.
07:49So what'd you get, 700?
07:51Three.
07:52Said seven in the papers.
07:54Yeah, well, that's the papers, then.
07:56On the rump from the Army,
07:56I wouldn't get too flashy if I was you, soldier boy.
07:59We've got some other bits and pieces as well.
08:00Rings, jewellery and all that.
08:02Yeah, well, that's your problem, innit?
08:03I just want the readies.
08:04You take my advice.
08:05You didn't go far for your info, did you?
08:07Right on your own bloody stupid doorsteps.
08:10Swen.
08:10Hey, you.
08:11And count yourself lucky to get that.
08:13You want more, be better next time.
08:17Just tell him I'd call them, will you?
08:20Detective Inspector Regan.
08:22Yeah.
08:23You all right?
08:24Right.
08:24So.
08:25I think friend Moe's coming to the end of his usefulness.
08:29Didn't he once flog you a tip right out of the stock press of the standard?
08:33Oh, yeah, he did.
08:34Didn't he, wasn't he?
08:34Yeah, it was a very expensive five quid, that was.
08:38How'd it go?
08:39Well, I think we might be on something.
08:41Oh, yeah?
08:42George told you I had a nose around the neighbourhood?
08:43Yeah.
08:43Well, I had a word with the man three doors down.
08:46Ex-stop broker drives a minicab.
08:48On Tuesday night, a lad came to his house asking for the Shaw's number.
08:51So?
08:51So he gave it to them.
08:53Now, this lad...
08:53How old?
08:54Early 20s.
08:54Description?
08:55Tell him it was the one the girl gave.
08:57Said it was from a garage.
08:58The driver being interested asked him which one.
09:00The Wilton.
09:01As in carpet?
09:02There isn't one.
09:03No Wilton garage.
09:04The driver didn't recognise the name, but I've checked.
09:07Why the hell didn't the locals pick this up?
09:09Ah, well, he went to Newcastle on Tuesday night to deliver some.
09:12Get back till this morning.
09:13Wilton.
09:15All right, let's put a check on all known Wilton's.
09:17Places named Wilton, streets named Wilton, roads, avenues, felonry, you were married to
09:21Wilton, et cetera, et cetera.
09:23Right, then.
09:24Well done.
09:25Thank you, sir.
09:27Tall for his height, isn't he?
09:31Yeah.
09:33And when was this?
09:35All right, let's have an address.
09:48Mr. Benjamin.
09:49Yeah?
09:49Detective Inspector Regan, Flying Squad.
09:51That was quick.
09:52I was told it was urgent.
09:53That was a 32 waist when you bought those trousers.
09:56Still is.
09:56Yeah, like the pound in my pocket.
09:58Turn round.
09:59Turn, turn, turn.
10:00Here, your tailor, he was annoyed with you, was he?
10:04We didn't pay him, maybe.
10:05Oh, didn't I?
10:06Allow me.
10:08I know the cutter.
10:09He used to work at the Delicatessen.
10:11He couldn't cut salt beef either.
10:13You said it was urgent.
10:15I've got something to show you.
10:18Came in for repair today.
10:20Very expensive coat.
10:23Did you ever see a pocket that size?
10:24Only on a Scotsman.
10:26I only see one like it once.
10:27Just once.
10:28Do you know what it was for?
10:30A shotgun.
10:32A saw an off shotgun.
10:33Who brought this in?
10:34A young boy.
10:36Early 20s, short haircut.
10:37You know him.
10:38When did you say it'd be ready?
10:40It's ripped.
10:41Only the pocket.
10:42He needs cleaning.
10:43I said tomorrow.
10:44Yeah, we'll be waiting for him.
10:45What's this?
10:47Could be paint.
10:48Could be blood.
10:49How's your dad, love?
11:04Oh, he's a bit better today, thanks.
11:06Give him my best.
11:06Yeah, I will.
11:07Can I get you a drink?
11:08No, it's all right, thanks, Tug.
11:09I've got one.
11:12Hanging's too good for some of these bastards.
11:14Nowadays.
11:14Here you go.
11:21Who's your friend?
11:22I was a mate of my dad's.
11:23Used to be a tic-tac man.
11:25What do you call that?
11:26A snowball.
11:28Looks like you could do with some stewed rhubarb in it
11:30or an apple crumble or something.
11:32Cheers.
11:33Cheers.
11:37I've got some more photos to show you.
11:39Look, I told you which one it was.
11:40No, there are only nine.
11:41Come on.
11:41Yeah, that's him.
11:56You're sure?
11:56Yeah, that's one place I'd never forget.
11:58And he's not the violent one?
11:59No.
12:00What's his name?
12:02Ames.
12:03He deserted from Holster.
12:04They had quite a good record until then.
12:06He was a medic in a military hospital.
12:07Turned a medic into a murderer?
12:09Well, he's not one yet.
12:10But he might be if we don't nick him.
12:12George, I've been reading about it in the papers.
12:16Some of them hardly mention me dad having his head kicked in
12:19or his kneecap shut off
12:20or whether he'll be able to think straight and walk again.
12:24They all get the money right.
12:27700 quid.
12:28Where'd you leave the back?
12:56Well, you told me.
12:58How's your arm?
13:00Oh, great.
13:01Should have had physio.
13:03How'd you instead dentin' my own nimble fingers?
13:06I wouldn't have mind have been a chiropractor.
13:09You've got no bloody cigarettes.
13:16Let me hear you say thank you.
13:18Yeah, well, I'll never say thank you.
13:22Yeah?
13:23It's Tug.
13:24Come in.
13:29You met my friend, Gladys?
13:32Evening, both.
13:33So, what's new?
13:34Oh, a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
13:38Yeah, but it's always little.
13:39You think too small, Tug.
13:41I thought there's something you ought to know.
13:44Oh, this should be good.
13:46The filth are still here.
13:48And they're asking questions.
13:50They're the same as the rest of us.
13:52They've got a living to make.
13:53Only this time they've got photos.
13:55Oh.
13:56Hear that, Dug?
13:57They've got photos.
14:00Full front of you, displaying your gongs.
14:03Who's the photos of?
14:04Shaw's daughter identified one of you.
14:06I couldn't see which.
14:07That's the good news.
14:08I'm going to ground.
14:09I'm dropping out for a while.
14:10I'm sure your happy, smiling faces
14:12are going to be missed all over London.
14:13Don't say I didn't warn you.
14:15Listen, Tug.
14:16Now, you're the only one who knows we're here.
14:19Make sure it stays like that.
14:20I don't grasp.
14:22Nor do we.
14:23Unless we have to.
14:25Yeah, well.
14:31Well, just, you know, wait till the dust settles
14:34and I'll lay a wig around
14:36and I'll look you up.
14:38And there won't be any mick this time.
14:41Listen.
14:42Do you know what they did to a couple of pals of mine?
14:44They got fried.
14:46And I had a shower bath in petrol.
14:49Which did me left arm in.
14:50How do you expect I should feel about paddies?
14:52I just don't like violence.
14:56Neither do we.
14:58Especially when we're on the receiving end.
15:01Understand?
15:01Yeah.
15:04You trust him?
15:16About as far as I can throw him.
15:18You think you're shoppers?
15:19No.
15:20No shoppers.
15:21So why did he come here?
15:22He's flapping.
15:23He's scared in case we're getting nicked and grass on him.
15:26Would you shop him?
15:27If the shore girl's right, she is.
15:33If one of them is Ames,
15:35then according to the army, a geezer named Cook,
15:38Tim Cook, went with him.
15:39Cook was badly burned in a land rover ambush.
15:42They met in the hospital.
15:42It's funny she had to do one and not the other.
15:44No, not really.
15:44You've got to realise she was laying on the floor clocking Ames.
15:47Well, according to army records,
15:48neither of them's married,
15:49so the next of kin's the parents.
15:51Well, we'll put the pictures out on general release
15:53and put a watch on the parents' homes.
15:55Now, what about that coat?
15:57Well, the blood's from the blood group O.
15:58Oh, that's a big help, that is.
16:0045% of the population's blood group O.
16:03Why couldn't it be AB Rhesus negative for a change?
16:05There was a piece of feather found in the pocket.
16:06Feather?
16:07Same as those in the shore house.
16:09Starting to simmer?
16:10Yeah, not before time.
16:11What other little gems have you got for us?
16:14Don't think he likes me.
16:15Only one, Gov.
16:16Our dried cleaner friend from Putney.
16:18Well, beautiful downtown Putney.
16:19Which is five streets away from Wilton Avenue.
16:22Well, getting up to that Kemp's then,
16:23find out who lives there.
16:24Right, Gov, will do.
16:27He's a bit sensitive, isn't he?
16:29Now, you were a bit snide, Gov,
16:30all that little gems business.
16:31Yeah.
16:32I mean, he's got to nub you out
16:33before he gets a drawer, hasn't he?
16:36I don't know.
16:36I mean, the man, he doesn't swear,
16:38he doesn't drink.
16:39You know, when he does drink,
16:40he's cider, in halves.
16:42He's a cricketer.
16:43Yeah, I was coming to that.
16:44And a pint or a penny is a god-botherer.
16:47Well, with his size, you see,
16:48his prayers don't have to go far.
16:52Hey, George.
16:54This jacket.
16:56Is it fit?
16:58You got a new bird or something?
16:59A jacket.
17:00Is it all right?
17:01Yeah, I know, yeah.
17:03How much did you pay for that whistle?
17:05Forty quid.
17:06Forty quid?
17:07You know you could have got a new one for that,
17:08don't you?
17:09Yeah.
17:10No, seriously, Gov.
17:11If you ever want to get rid of it,
17:12I'll buy it off you.
17:13Really?
17:14Yeah, really.
17:16My mum's dog needs something to sleep on, you see.
17:18Yeah, get off!
17:20I'll buy it off you.
17:21Yeah.
17:21Do you want to get on?
17:21I'll buy it off you, sir.
17:22I'll buy it off you.
17:23I'll buy it off you, sir.
17:23I'm sorry.
17:40Shop?
17:44Uh, yes sir.
17:46Leather coat, clean and repair. You said today?
17:48Ah, yeah. £6.50, sir.
17:53Uh, there we are, sir.
17:58£7.50 change.
18:00There we are.
18:03Thank you very much.
18:55Down there. Come on.
19:09Hey, there's the other one.
19:21Yeah, okay.
19:22All right? Heads.
19:24I'll stay here. You go and get the DI, all right?
19:26All right.
19:27Could you bring my hand around?
19:28Sure.
19:29I thought I told you to keep it ready round the back.
19:39You told me to get it filled up with petrol.
19:41And I have.
19:42Well, don't use it up then.
19:45Don't use it up then.
19:48Well, don't use it up then.
19:51Okay.
19:52You're in.
19:53I'm sorry.
19:54I'm sorry.
19:55I've got a light.
19:56I'm sorry.
19:57You're in.
19:584-7, Ian, where are you?
20:19Any change?
20:20No, no, they're still in the caravan.
20:21Look, it's that blue and white one over there.
20:24I've got it all covered this side.
20:25Pete, where are you?
20:27Matt, let me know when you're in position.
20:29Right, Gav.
20:29I'm just waiting for Pete to clear the civilians
20:31from the far side of the caravan side.
20:33There's a lot of women with kids.
20:34It's taking a hell of a time to get them out.
20:36It's obvious we can't push them too fast
20:37or they'll make a noise.
20:39Pete's got it all under control.
20:40Should be ready any minute.
20:41Otherwise, we're all ready outside.
20:43Hang on a minute, Gav.
20:44Pete's signaling something now.
20:45Cheers.
20:46I'm going to have a look.
20:48You know, the first hairy one I was on.
20:51You know, shooters, etc.
20:53It was a real old sweat.
20:55Weren't you nervous?
20:57Somebody asked him afterwards.
20:59No, he says.
21:00Not even a little bit.
21:02No.
21:04Funny thing is, though,
21:06somebody peed my pants.
21:09Gav, Matt here.
21:11Civilians are clear.
21:11It's all yours.
21:12Right.
21:12That tree on the road.
21:23That tree on the road.
21:24George.
21:24Go.
21:37Go.
21:37Go.
21:37Let's go.
22:07Let's go.
22:37Let's go.
23:07All units that are away on a motorbike, waste ground going north. Move!
23:18George, take the car, see if you can cut them off.
23:21Where the hell were you?
23:22By the old owner.
23:22I said by that train!
23:32Lost them?
23:33Lost them.
23:34Well, how?
23:35We went in the door.
23:37They came out the window.
23:38Surely you blocked all the escape routes.
23:40I thought I had.
23:41Thought?
23:42I had.
23:43I don't believe it.
23:44Neither do I, and I was there.
23:45It's not like you, Jack, letting villains off the hook.
23:48I told the commander...
23:51Doesn't matter.
23:55Anyone hurt?
23:55George Carter got stabbed.
23:57Stabbed?
23:58With a fork.
23:58Anyone eating with it at the time?
24:01It was a garden folk in a hedge.
24:03I'm glad there's something to show for it.
24:06Stewart all right?
24:07Yeah, a couple of stitches.
24:09Armful of jabs.
24:12Operation cock-up.
24:14All right, make up a wanted folder.
24:15See how your statement reads in that.
24:17Jack, why the hurry?
24:20I mean, why didn't you suss the land out bitter?
24:23I didn't think there was any virtue in waiting
24:25the sooner they'll be on bars.
24:28Oh.
24:32You all right, Les?
24:33Yeah, all right.
24:34Go on.
24:41You all right?
24:42Yes.
24:45I'm all right.
24:47No alcohol.
24:51Well?
24:52Not amused.
24:55He's not the only one.
24:57Where's Hargraves?
24:59Gone home.
25:01A couple of half-arsed bloody amateurs
25:04and they mugged us.
25:06Tell me it didn't happen, George.
25:08It didn't happen.
25:09Where was he?
25:11Oh.
25:12Hargraves.
25:14A couple of young tearaways,
25:15an armed squad of hideous
25:17friendly-trained police officers
25:18and sweet F.A.
25:20Well, one potential tetanus.
25:23He must be bent.
25:24Bent?
25:25Bent as Uri Gill as Watson.
25:26No, leave it.
25:27That's the only explanation.
25:28He knew where he should have been.
25:30The question is,
25:33do I write my statement
25:34and then get drunk
25:35or get drunk and then write it?
25:37Why not just get drunk?
25:39Yeah, why not?
25:40All right, Governor.
25:41So the caravan site is kaput, right?
25:43Yeah, as soon as C3 are finished, will it?
25:45We've still got the Walton Avenue lead.
25:46Yeah, check the files.
25:47See if we can tie and cook our aims
25:49with anybody who used to live there.
25:50I was going to say that.
25:51Great minds, George.
25:53Great minds.
25:53Hello.
25:54Oh, thanks for that burst of indifference.
26:21Sorry.
26:24Isn't it going well?
26:25A bad day.
26:28I'm going to throw this thing away.
26:30Sorry.
26:31Old habits.
26:31There are six perfectly good cups and saucers in there.
26:33I know, I know.
26:34I had lunch with Daddy.
26:36He said your notes on the Criminal Justice Act were,
26:39oh, what was his exact phrase?
26:41A model of succinctness.
26:43Good.
26:44Well, that's high praise coming from him.
26:48So what's your problem, Sergeant?
26:49That's very boring.
26:50Oh, not to me.
26:51Have a stake in the company.
26:53Well, we're going to pick up a couple of villains,
26:54the bookie-blaggy.
26:55The Irishman.
26:56Mm.
26:57They got away.
26:58Were they armed?
26:59Very.
26:59Then I'm damn glad they did.
27:01Well, that just means that somebody
27:02will have to go and pick them up some other time.
27:03Exactly.
27:03That's fine.
27:05So long as it's not you.
27:06Send your friend Regan.
27:07He was there.
27:09That's his forte.
27:10Kicking and getting kicked.
27:12I keep telling you commissioners don't knock doors down.
27:14It's because they're not expendable.
27:17Neither are you.
27:18But I'm in the Sweeney now, love, not the Diplomatic Corps.
27:22You're in the Sweeney this year, Bob.
27:24Next year, it'll be the Fraud Squad or something else.
27:27You heard that man's advice.
27:28As much experience as possible and as diverse as possible.
27:31You've a long way to go.
27:32Number 38.
27:38Yeah, I've got a note about that somewhere.
27:42There we are.
27:45Oh, dear, my eye keeps wanting to close.
27:48Yeah, 38.
27:50The house is empty.
27:52Moved.
27:55Mm.
27:58And what does mm mean?
28:00Well, we don't know that the Cooks or the Ames families
28:03didn't used to live in Wilton Avenue.
28:05What, 10, 20 years ago?
28:08Yes, we do.
28:09Bob checked.
28:10Oh.
28:11Well, that was smart.
28:14You said it.
28:15I didn't.
28:16On.
28:1940.
28:20Uh, Thomas.
28:22F.
28:25Mr and Mrs and...
28:27two girls, both over 18 years of age.
28:30Lucky for some.
28:32Cross them off.
28:34Cross them off.
28:40And what's funny?
28:42No.
28:43I just thought of something.
28:46How do you tell the sex of a chromosome?
28:49Look up, it's genes.
28:52How do you know that?
28:53We both eat the same breakfast cereal, don't we?
28:55It's on the packet.
28:56Did you make the little...
28:58What, a joke wheel?
29:00Yeah.
29:00Oh, yeah, I made that up, yeah.
29:02I thought you would.
29:04For Susie.
29:05Well, for Susie, of course you would, wouldn't you?
29:07Yellow and highly dangerous.
29:11Shark-infested custard.
29:14Think of a number.
29:16Think of a number?
29:17On here.
29:1842.
29:21Uh, Mrs Pym.
29:24Uh, E Pym.
29:27No, too old for jury service.
29:29Oh, scrubber.
29:30No, thank you.
29:3344?
29:3544 is a cafe.
29:3746.
29:39There isn't one.
29:43Finished.
29:43Oh, God, what a grotty mess.
29:50So what have we got?
29:52Six, seven possibles to check on.
29:58It's a pity that married women don't have to put their maiden names down on the electoral list.
30:02I'll give you something to do in the morning.
30:04Cheers, thanks very much.
30:07Hey, I thought you were supposed to lay off the booze for 24 hours.
30:11Oh, yeah.
30:13Come on, son.
30:16Let's give it the elbow.
30:21You don't think my leg will fall off, do you?
30:29It's not funny.
30:30It's not funny.
30:30You just turn up there and you have to embark at 11.20.
30:59Yeah, in the morning or 4.20 in the afternoon.
31:05Yes, that's right.
31:06Any day.
31:07It's not...
31:08You, what are you doing?
31:09Sharon.
31:09Get off!
31:11What do you want?
31:13More sugar next time.
31:15Miss Ames.
31:16But it's not Miss Ames, is it, anymore?
31:18It's Mrs Farmer now, isn't it?
31:19You don't know who I am.
31:21I'm your brother's friend.
31:24What's in there?
31:26What?
31:26Through there!
31:28Look for yourself!
31:30I will.
31:30Look!
31:38Look!
31:38Ah!
31:39Shut up!
31:39Just shut up!
31:40Ah!
31:40Ah!
31:41Ah!
31:41Don't leave me alone!
31:54No!
31:55Listen!
31:57There's two things I like, really like.
32:00One's kicking mix and the other's thumping birds.
32:03Right?
32:03Ah!
32:04Where's that lead to?
32:11Alleyway.
32:13Garouches.
32:14When's your shot?
32:15Why do you want to know?
32:17Wayne!
32:185.30!
32:21You open up?
32:22Yeah.
32:23By yourself?
32:24Yeah.
32:27No one else comes?
32:29No.
32:34I want bread, milk, tea and sugar.
32:40Are you listening?
32:41No!
32:42And I'd like some cold meat or something like that.
32:47Now make sure you have it all laid out for us here.
32:50We're coming at six.
32:53You do the law, I'll be waiting for you!
32:58I'd like to show you a trick.
33:01Oh, no!
33:02No!
33:04No!
33:04Now there's a good girl.
33:06And this is what a bad girl looks like.
33:09Ah!
33:12Ah!
33:29Ah!
33:30Ah!
33:33Ah!
33:33Ah!
33:33Ah!
33:33You're wasting film.
34:00Eh?
34:01They're Mormons.
34:02How can you tell?
34:03That's the way they walk.
34:04Do what?
34:05No, I'll pass the couple on this side.
34:07Oh, there you go.
34:10Milkman.
34:12A man with farmyard manure?
34:15Who said Swinging London was dead?
34:17122.
34:18How'd you find her?
34:19Market Researcher Street, didn't I?
34:21Biological washing powder.
34:23For that, you've got to give a maiden name.
34:25Of course you have.
34:26They insist on it.
34:27What about the phone?
34:28They're not on it.
34:30How's your leg?
34:31Well, I'm going to go for a late fitness test.
34:33I've called Mr. Revy.
34:34What time's Hargreaves on?
34:36Up past two.
34:37I don't know.
34:38Is he defending him anymore?
34:39You're not doing your boy scout routine?
34:42You've got to give everyone a chance, haven't you, Guff?
34:44Yeah, well, he's had his, hasn't he?
34:46I spoke to a couple of blokes who work with him, you know.
34:49Demonstrations, drunks acting leery.
34:52Baron Hargreaves was always there just as the dust was settling.
34:55So what you're saying is...
34:56He's got no bottle.
34:57That's his trouble.
34:58God knows he's big enough.
35:00Well, that's not the point.
35:01He bottled.
35:03Now, I reckon that was the first time he's ever faced a shotgun.
35:08Yeah, and I reckon he fancies facing the TV cameras outside the spaghetti house with scrambled egg on his uniform.
35:15Can I tell Askins?
35:18Rather you than me.
35:21Sod it.
35:22Well, ain't this the job.
35:26They must be persuaded that violence and disrespect for property are wrong.
35:32That professional criminals kill and maim.
35:35Oh, sorry, Gunn.
35:37Is it important?
35:38Yes, it is, yeah.
35:40Right, type up as far as you're going to be.
35:42Anchor, I'll buzz you.
35:43Your memoirs?
35:45My speech.
35:46She won last.
35:48No, far too pretty.
35:52Problem?
35:54Bob Hargreaves.
35:56Oh, yes.
35:57Can we keep this off the record?
35:59I thought you prided yourself on running your own squad, Jack.
36:02Well, I've got my doubts about him.
36:04Is records as good as anybody in the squad?
36:05On paper.
36:06Well, that's where records are usually kept.
36:10Well...
36:11He chickened out on us at that caravan site.
36:15And you haven't mentioned this before.
36:17A serious accusation.
36:19I realise that.
36:20Jack, persuade me that you're not here because you don't like him.
36:23He's got nothing to do with that.
36:26I spoke with a couple of blokes at his old factory.
36:28That's damned high-handed of you.
36:30Off the record, of course.
36:31Oh, yes, of course.
36:32You're trying to snow me.
36:33No!
36:34You think you've been foisted off with a Haskins man, so you're gonna make him a scapegoat?
36:37Oh, come on, Frank.
36:38That's not the way I work.
36:39I haven't gone out of your way to make him feel at home.
36:41Did he say that?
36:42I've got eyes, Jack.
36:43Facts.
36:44Not theory or fancy talk.
36:45He didn't do his job.
36:47Then put it on a docket.
36:48I said off the record.
36:49On the record or not at all.
36:55What's it to be?
36:56Forget it.
37:15Get that one full face when he comes away.
37:18Do my best, sir.
37:21Yes?
37:22Mrs Farmer?
37:23Yes?
37:24Used to be Miss Ames.
37:25I've come about your brother.
37:27Which one?
37:28The one the police are looking for.
37:31Can I come in?
37:40Why isn't she at work?
37:41The shop's closed all day today.
37:45There's something I've been meaning to ask you, Sergeant.
37:47Yes, sir?
37:48How come you joined the Sweeney?
37:50Tell enough people enough times, you know how it's done.
37:52That's how?
37:53No, why?
37:54Don't follow him.
37:55Well, early morning raids, foot in the door, shoot-ups.
37:59Wouldn't have thought it was your scene.
38:01Hang on, girl.
38:05Hey, I know him.
38:06Who is he?
38:07Name's Wilson.
38:08Tug Wilson.
38:09Any previous?
38:10I've nicked him myself.
38:11Sure?
38:12Absolutely.
38:13What's his strength?
38:14Small-time draftsman.
38:15You've been through the card.
38:16Remand, home, Borstal, Nick, you name it.
38:18Uncle Tug Wilson.
38:19Check him out, then give his drum a spin.
38:21Me?
38:22Why not?
38:23I'd love to have a go at him.
38:24Take Daniels with you.
38:25Any advice?
38:26Well, you know him.
38:27I don't.
38:28I believe he's still on parole.
38:29So remind him.
38:30Tell him the story about the tall man with the big keys.
38:33Right.
38:34Put the breeze up his kilt.
38:35Right, will do.
38:46Here we are.
38:56Lovely sound, isn't it, Rayne?
38:58When you're on the inside, nice and warm.
39:01So my sister agreed, then.
39:03What?
39:04She don't mind us using this place?
39:07Yeah, she was only too glad to help.
39:09Usually says no to everything.
39:11Well, not that you would know.
39:13I wouldn't have liked that.
39:15Go through life saying no when they really mean yeah.
39:18Much more trouble than they'll work.
39:21Best to stick to your own kind.
39:24So how would you know, then?
39:26You stay here.
39:27I'll talk to him.
39:28You've got the warrant?
39:29Evening, Uncle.
39:30I know that face, didn't I?
39:31Hargreaves.
39:32Oh, Mr Hargreaves.
39:33Oh, Mr Hargreaves.
39:34Now, what's it to be, Uncle?
39:35Outside where everyone can hear us,
39:36or in here where it's nice and quiet?
39:38I've got a warrant.
39:39Up to no good again, eh, Uncle?
39:41No, sir, I've been up to nothing.
39:42I don't want no trouble, Mr Hargreaves.
39:43I don't want no trouble, Mr Hargreaves.
39:44Oh, Mr Hargreaves.
39:45Now, what's it to be, Uncle?
39:46Outside where everyone can hear us, or in here where it's nice and quiet?
39:50I've got a warrant.
39:51Up to no good again, eh, Uncle?
39:52No, sir, I've been up to nothing.
39:53I don't want no trouble, Mr Hargreaves.
39:54No, don't start any.
39:55Germs, like your two soldier friends need to be destroyed.
39:59Where are they?
40:00I don't know, Mr Hargreaves.
40:02Honest, I don't know where...
40:04I don't know much.
40:05I've been up to nothing.
40:06I've been up to nothing.
40:07I don't want no trouble, Mr Hargreaves.
40:09Oh, don't start any.
40:10Germs like your two soldier friends need to be destroyed.
40:13Where are they?
40:14I don't know, Mr Hargreaves.
40:15Honest, I don't know...
40:17I don't...
40:21Oh, let's talk, Mr Hargreaves.
40:23Of course, let's talk.
40:24Talking time's over, Uncle. It's too late for that.
40:39Stop! Stop! Stop it! I'll tell you! I'll tell you!
40:42Tell me what's! What are you trying to tell me? Tell me what's!
40:45They're in this sister's place. Amos's sister. That's all I know.
40:49In the house! Someone's trying to say they're in the house!
40:51No! In the shop where she worked! In the back!
40:56Thank you, Uncle. I knew you'd come through.
41:11Oh, God! What happened, Skip?
41:16What are you trying to do? Kill him?
41:21What the hell did he do?
41:26I showed him the warrant. Did he cut up rough?
41:30Come in!
41:31Wait outside, George.
41:35Sit down.
41:37What the hell are you up to? You trying to work your ticket?
41:39What's that supposed to mean, sir?
41:41Tug Wilson.
41:42Obviously, you've been talking to Daniels.
41:44I want the facts. I talked to the engine driver, not his oil rack.
41:47He resisted arrest.
41:48Bull!
41:49You question him, right?
41:50Right.
41:51On your own? Yes.
41:52Why?
41:53Two of us going at him. Sweet and sour. Third keeping score. We've been there till kingdom come.
41:56There's a routine. There's a reason.
41:58You let him get on top. You'll never shake him.
42:00You talk. You don't kick the stripes in.
42:02They laugh at you. It's the toe cap, they understand.
42:04Oh, you. You're a right one, you are, aren't you?
42:07Yeah, kick the day like some cheapskate petty crook who wouldn't say boo to a goose.
42:12But when you're on a real job, when we need you to come out fighting, you lose your bottle.
42:17You wanted info, you got it.
42:19Wilson's on parole. All you had to do was tell him you knew he was up to some villainy.
42:22I did. He got lippy.
42:23So you half killed him.
42:24A slight exaggeration, sir.
42:25You admit thumping him.
42:26I hit him.
42:27Once.
42:28More.
42:29How many more?
42:30Who's counting?
42:31And did he hit you?
42:32Chance would be a fine thing.
42:34Give me one good reason why I shouldn't carpet you in front of Haskins.
42:37You've been waiting to do that since I joined.
42:38A reason!
42:39The address you wanted is on your desk.
42:41You could have got it without all this pantomime. I'm not defending you.
42:44Defending me? Against who?
42:45If he's only half educated, Tug Wilson will have his brief round here before you can say supper!
42:50Police painting's a national sport today. Didn't you notice?
42:54Anyway, if this gets to be a formal complaint, you're out, son.
42:58Finished!
42:59Not just the Sweeney. Finished with the force.
43:08Whatcha gonna do, Gov?
43:10Talk to Wilson.
43:11I've had one guy tell him, asking you what I think of him.
43:14I'm not playing that scene again.
43:16Listen, if he hadn't have put the fear of God into Wilson, we wouldn't know where they are.
43:19George, we should be nicking Wilson, not asking favours.
43:21You did criticise him for being soft.
43:23Well, you don't think he did all that just to get information, do you?
43:25Why else would he do it?
43:26George, he's the sort of...
43:30Look, just tell him I want to see him when I get back.
43:33you're the first guy out of the room.
43:35You're the first guy out of the room.
43:36You're the first guy out of the room.
43:44All right, sir.
43:47But it's up here.
43:48Let's go.
43:50I'll just say the next guy out of the room.
43:51Come back up here.
43:52Come back here.
43:53Again.
43:54I want to think of him, but you should be near the building.
43:56Come back up here.
43:57Come back up, I'll just say the other guy out of it.
43:58You should be near the building.
44:00My name's Regan. Flying squad.
44:03I've been so popular in me life.
44:06You're a bother, aren't you, old son?
44:09Big bother.
44:12And you on parole.
44:15You go around mugging cars for villains like Cook and Ames.
44:19They'll be back on the island finishing your last stretch before you start your next.
44:25You got two years out, didn't you?
44:27Yeah.
44:29It wasn't smart, that, was it?
44:35What happened?
44:38I fell down the stairs, didn't I?
44:41I'd had a cup, hadn't I?
44:47You'll be all right, will you?
44:49Yeah, yeah, yeah, bright as rain.
44:51I'll sweat it out in the bath tomorrow morning.
44:58Can you keep my name out the frame?
45:01I'll try.
45:05No promises.
45:06People are being smashed up because they talk with an Irish accent.
45:22You can't go thinking about it for the rest of your life.
45:24I'll just stop.
45:25Tell her.
45:27You go, end of the day, switch off and forget it.
45:29I think it's a sandwich, George.
45:33Okay.
45:35Right.
45:36Now, you listen to me.
45:37When we go in tomorrow, you are going to watch the sisters' house.
45:48You're trying to dump me.
45:49I want to go in with the troops.
45:50You owe me that.
45:51I owe you?
45:54That's funny.
45:55I didn't think I owed you anything.
45:57Not even a chance.
45:58Not even a chance.
46:58It's all right, Gabby. I've got the key.
47:28I'm all in, you! Keep away from that door!
47:44You hear me? I'm all in, you, you poxy filth!
47:47Keep away from that door!
47:54Leave it!
47:55Keep away from that door!
47:57Fuck it!
47:59Hardly!
48:01All right, come on!
48:09Run!
48:10Run!
48:11Run!
48:13You're all right, son!
48:20Yeah, sure!
48:21All right!
48:24Come over here!
48:28Toxie!
48:29I'm telling you!
48:31Come here!
48:32Get out of here!
48:34Get out of here!
48:38Hargreaves.
48:39Yeah?
48:40He done a bunk, didn't he?
48:41Run off.
48:43Get the car, Bill.
48:50I'm sorry, Bill.
48:51I'm sorry.
48:52I'm sorry.
48:53I'm sorry!
49:14I shouldn't have listened to you, George.
49:15Me?
49:16I should have rode him out the first time he bottled.
49:19This, Wilson, none of it would have happened.
49:23Guff, there he is, the phone box.
49:36Come on.
49:38Come on, let's get you on.
49:41I have a favour.
49:43Yeah, sure.
49:43I couldn't see it.
49:45Come on, come on, Lorry never solved anything.
49:48Come on.
49:48Get him home and stay with him.
49:50Get another car out.
49:51What happens to him now?
49:56Chief Medical Officer.
50:01If he's lucky, he'll end up helping old ladies across the street.
50:06It's a hard world, Guff.
50:08Yeah, but keep it to yourself, George.
50:11No one else wants to know.
50:25Ooh.
