00:00If you stand there solidly, your feet are all in the wrong position.
00:05You're not going to get hit all the time. You've got no way to move.
00:07If you bounce, you should be able to bounce, keep your feet...
00:10Look, I'll show you.
00:11Luthor, come and throw a few right handles at me.
00:13Well, look, here you go.
00:15That's typical.
00:17Right, look, I'm moving, right?
00:19I'm moving.
00:20Don't let me see you.
00:30Hello, Arthur.
00:35Hello, George.
00:37You've got a kid down here, don't you?
00:39Yeah, my boy, Tony McCann. Helps him out with her boxing.
00:41No, ain't that public severity?
00:43Oh, yeah.
00:45How's the little lady, Nick?
00:47Oh, a diamond, George.
00:49A treasure, eh?
00:50Oh, like flint.
00:51He's still a bit tasty, you're Terry, isn't he?
01:00He does all right by me, I reckon.
01:02Dad passed out Brenda's tonight.
01:09They say you don't mind subletting him. Is that right?
01:13Depends on the price, George.
01:15And a job. Nothing dodgy.
01:17Would I put you on to something not strictly kosher?
01:22Come on.
01:23Dad, can I?
01:24Look, shout it, Anthea.
01:25What's the score, then?
01:26There's a couple of punters use my place at Southgate.
01:28They need a bit of muscle.
01:29But a man is good.
01:30And I'll make them meat.
01:31Why not?
01:32Make him out of it, Terry.
01:33Come on, give him the old ABW!
01:35Arthur?
01:36What's the matter?
01:37What's the matter?
01:38What's the matter?
01:39What's the matter?
01:40What's the matter?
01:41What's the matter?
01:42What's the matter?
01:43What's the matter?
01:44What's the matter?
01:45Arthur?
01:46Now, what exactly are you gentlemen looking for?
01:50It's not easy to describe the sort of person we need.
01:54Essentially, Mr. Daly, we're seeking a man who looks the part.
01:59You know, a bit...
02:00Tasty, but not to...
02:02But not so much as to frighten people.
02:04Sounds like my Terry.
02:05What's the job?
02:06Oh, simply to reassure a visiting client.
02:09Look after him.
02:10Discourage anyone taking advantage.
02:14We wouldn't want him with any kind of, er...
02:18You know.
02:19A shooter.
02:20Oh, Terry never packs one.
02:21We're strictly legitimate.
02:22George knows that.
02:23Then I think we can do business together.
02:26So, where'd you hear about this?
02:28George Lewis down at the youth club.
02:30Picking up his kid.
02:31Saw your boxing.
02:32Reckoned he'd get you a job for a couple of days.
02:34Who's George Lewis when he's at home?
02:35He owns an escort agency.
02:37A club in South Kent.
02:38You know, discotheque and supper.
02:40Couple of tables upstairs, some girls.
02:42What is it?
02:43All who raise an Arabs?
02:44Ah.
02:45Oh, that could be 1.26.
02:50I've arranged an interview for you.
02:52An interview?
02:53Hmm.
02:54What's he want to mind or a bleeding brain surgeon?
02:56Here are.
02:57Two o'clock at that address.
02:58Yeah, all right.
03:00Bit dodgy though, innit?
03:02Mm-hmm.
03:03Wouldn't you think they could hire some proper muscle?
03:05Well, maybe they don't know their way around.
03:06Yeah, but maybe they do.
03:10Cheers.
03:11Cheers.
03:15Cheers.
03:21Mr. Elliott.
03:22Yes?
03:23I'm Terry McCann.
03:24I believe Mr. Daly had a word with you about me.
03:27Have you been inside?
03:31Look, just tell me what the job is, eh?
03:33It might be too high class for me.
03:35Carry a piece?
03:38No way.
03:40Anyway, what do you want a bodyguard for?
03:42Big boy like you.
03:43It's for a colleague.
03:45Ah.
03:46A Mr. Syene.
03:48French.
03:49Arab.
03:50Lebanon.
03:51He's in banking.
03:53Commodities.
03:54Very influential.
03:56What's he want a babysitter for then?
03:58Oh, they get a bit paranoid out there in the Middle East.
04:02It's part of his contract.
04:04Rented house.
04:05Chauffeur bodyguard.
04:06Manservant.
04:07You know the sort of thing.
04:08Oh, yeah.
04:09My dad never travels anywhere without them.
04:12He'll be here for three or four days.
04:15The car's a Rolls Royce.
04:18And what we're looking for is a driver come minder for Mr. Syene.
04:23Now listen, I'm not poncing around in all that chauffeur's gear like somebody's pet monkey.
04:29Personally, I never thought monkeys could drive.
04:33But so long as you look tidy, wear what you like.
04:37Any questions so far?
04:39Well, yeah.
04:40Let's get it straight.
04:41Is anybody liable to have a go at this Mr. Syene?
04:44Good Lord, no.
04:47You can look forward to a nice, easy three days.
05:01Clock's stopped.
05:02Don't worry.
05:03The manservant will wind it.
05:05Manservant?
05:06Yes.
05:07Mr. Syene will need somebody to run the house.
05:09Listen, if I'm gonna look after this geezer...
05:11I think I ought to be there when you choose this manservant.
05:14Check him out.
05:16I mean, we don't want a tea leaf about, do we?
05:18There's no need to worry, Terry.
05:20Your Mr. Daly is providing the manservant, so he's bound to be okay.
05:25Now, where shall we start?
05:27Yeah, well, we want to check all the locks, doors, windows, that sort of thing.
05:31All the light switches, creaking boards, anything that might put us in lumber if somebody has a go at us.
05:44I can't see Elliot being too pleased with you running around in his roller.
05:55Don't worry, Terry. When the wind of good fortune blows, you've got to capitalise.
05:59Opportunity knocks but once.
06:00What are you gonna say to this geezer, anyway? He's got a very busy programme.
06:05Look, he's a banker, right?
06:07When did a British businessman, e.g. me, allow an Arab banker to walk in and out of his life without relieving him of the odd hundred Gs?
06:13Now, why would he give you a hundred thousand?
06:18Listen, Arthur, I'm sorry, mate, but you're not in his league.
06:21Terry. Oh, you do know how to wound, you really do. Not in his league, eh?
06:25Who looks after you, son?
06:27Who got you a job driving a Rolls Royce when three days ago you were barred from the snooper hall for a six-pound death?
06:32Look, I'm getting late.
06:33Don't forget the introduction. This is the managing director of Lockfast Securities.
06:36Yeah, I've got all that.
06:37I'll be just over here, walking by sort of dead casual, you know, probably smoking a proper cigar.
06:43That's really gonna dazzle him, Arthur.
06:46Yeah, it's a brown model right in front of you.
06:49The boat sergeant.
06:54No, Mr. Sardin.
06:56You have some identification?
06:57Yeah, of course.
07:03You work for Mr. Sardin?
07:05No, Mr. Elliott. On a contract.
07:08A contract? I hope not.
07:12Oh, sir.

19:38around you. yeah well i've often wondered that myself. out of gold though. and he got you this
19:44appointment? hmm? well through a friend of his who met a couple of blokes in a club. elliott and saadi.
19:49that's right yeah. he said they needed a minder. and here i am.

20:16hold on. elliott said he was hiring me to babysit a nice old banker who was a bit fussy about his
20:23status. he said you needed a minder the same as you need a big motor or gold taps on your bath
20:28appearances. elliott told you this? yeah well that was the drift. but now i don't square with the vibes
20:34i'm receiving. you're in trouble aren't you. frankly terry i cannot really afford to be away from
20:43beirut right now. beirut? there you go again. i'm sorry? begging the bleeding question. look we're
20:48talking about enemies, me being out of my class and all because i suspect that i'm not dressed properly.

21:58really heavy. come on terry don't let's get paranoid. but the last one he came to london he had three
22:04armed bodyguards. now nice old bankers don't go around mob-handed. you um reckon there's uh danger?

44:25Marlene Wallop.
44:27Mr. McCann, I've radioed for a car to take you all down to the nick.
44:31We've got a lot of sorting out to do.
44:33Sorting out?
44:33Oh, listen, I just ran halfway.
44:35Yes, if you get a citation or a hand on your collar.
44:39Oh, it's charming, isn't it?
44:41I'll tell you what, look.
44:42My motor's there.
44:43I don't want to get Nick for parking, so I can take these gentlemen down there now.
44:47All right.
44:47It's the Picton Street, Nick.
44:48Do you know it?
44:49Yeah, of course I do.
44:49Ask for Detective Inspector Samson.
44:51I'll see you there, sir.
44:52Cheers.
44:53All right, get rid of this lot.
44:57Come on, then.
45:15Right, Abdul, we've just got time to get you to the airport.
45:18Airport?
45:19What are you talking about?
45:20We're due down to Nick.
45:21Nick, and on the right side of the counter.
45:23Oh, yes, he's right, boy.
45:25But, but, on the other hand, we can't let our offendi here get done on a false passport claim now, can we?

45:35Terry, what have you got me into?
45:37Got you into...
45:38Look, own up, Arthur.
45:39We're better off without him.
45:41Abdul is nothing but trouble.
45:43Aiding and abetting, illegal immigrants, assisting a felony, or...
45:47They wouldn't like that down at the Picton Street, Nick.
45:50And that D.I. is a right bastard.
45:54Well, what are you waiting for?
45:55Come on, off you go to the airport, before the Lord puts a shout-out on us.
45:59There are other cars, Arthur.
46:00Boarding now, sir.
46:18Thank you so much.
46:21Well, gentlemen, what can I say?
46:22No offence, sir, Sheik, but I like the sound of goodbye.
46:27Well, goodbye, then.
46:29And I hope you will not be offended.
46:31I wish you to accept these checks.
46:33One thousand pounds.

46:43Thank you, boys.
46:44Oh, yeah.
