00:00Terry!
00:02Terry!
00:04Terry!
00:06Terry!
00:08Terry!
00:10Terry!
00:12Terry!
00:14Terry!
00:16Terry!
00:18Hello, Des.
00:20Thank God you and I've been knocking for five minutes.
00:22Yeah, well, I was out the back.
00:24Look, I need some help with the breakdown.
00:26You're just the man.
00:28What about that big American breakdown truck you've got you keep on about?
00:32I've broken down. It has. I can't get the parts to fix it.
00:35I told you, by British.
00:36Look, it'll only take half an hour, maybe 20 minutes.
00:39Young Kevin didn't come in today. I'm on my own.
00:41Well, will I get dirty?
00:42All you've got to do is drive the van.
00:45Yeah, all right.
00:46Good lad.
00:54What's that? You don't do MOTs, do you?
00:56No, but India shows the customers.
00:58What happens if they want one?
01:00Tell them I'm booked up for a month.
01:05You don't come to a bad end, Desmond.
01:07I know.
01:09Cuff a fraction shorter, do you think?
01:24No, no, you don't do a lot of cuff, do you?
01:26No, wearing those flash sovereign cufflinks was never your line.
01:30The minicab's here, Mr. Daly.
01:33No, thanks, son.
01:34Oh, how about next Wednesday? That suits you?
01:36Wednesday, ah.
01:37Oh, Wednesday. Could you put it down?
01:38Mr. Daly, Wednesday, same time.
01:40As a matter of fact, Arthur, I was going to suggest next Wednesday evening is our night out.
01:44Oh, fine. I'll...
01:45Yes, I took the liberty of making a few arrangements.
01:47Is that you've done...
01:48Oh, yes, of course.
01:49I'll give you a ring and then we can confirm all the arrangements.
01:52Splendid.
01:53It's nice to see you looking so well, Arthur.
01:56It's nice talking to you, Harold.
02:08Mr. Daly.
02:10Arthur Daly.
02:15Joe.
02:17Well, that's what I call a nice surprise.
02:19Look, I've got a cab waiting somewhere.
02:21Why don't I drop you off wherever you're going and we can have a little chat.
02:24Why don't I drop you off?
02:25What?
02:26You're not into the taxi business.
02:27Not exactly.
02:28Oh, no.
02:31Where to, sir?
02:39Joe.
02:40Why?
02:43M1.
02:45Big pileup.
02:47Norman was killed instantly.
02:48After his death, it was either this or bar work.
02:49But I was always afraid of getting the change wrong.
02:50So...
02:52Look, Joe, I don't want you to think I'm, well, you know, but you're the last person I would've expected to...
02:55I should've learned to type.
02:56But there you are.
02:57Very local.
02:58But I never felt the need to be out working when Norman was alive.
02:59I know a lot of people do.
03:00But I was quite happy the way things were.
03:01At least I think I was.
03:02Okay.
03:03It always seemed that way.
03:04But he left you all right.
03:05Oh, yes.
03:06Nice home.
03:07Not so much in the way of savings.
03:08But we believed in spending everything we earned.
03:10Quite right.
03:11After all, you can't take...
03:12I think I'm...
03:13I think I'm...
03:14Well, you know, but...
03:15You're the last person I would've expected to...
03:16I should've learned to type.
03:17But there you are.
03:18Very local.
03:19But I never felt the need to be out working when Norman was alive.
03:20I know a lot of people do.
03:22But I was quite happy the way things were.
03:23At least I think I was.
03:24Okay.
03:25It always seemed that way.
03:26But he left you all right.
03:27Oh, yes.
03:29Nice home.
03:30Not so much in the way of savings.
03:32But we believed in spending everything we earned.
03:34Quite right.
03:35After all, you can't take...
03:37You can't do otherwise, can you?
03:39Plus, of course,
03:40Norman never made a great deal of money.
03:43Too honest for his own good, some would say.
03:45Not me, though.
03:46He wants insured.
03:47Oh, yes.
03:49Yes, I got the insurance money all right.
03:51Then, like a fool, I let some little rat walk off with it.
03:55Eh?
03:58I don't know how you've got the front to pick up cars with somebody like this.
04:12Heh.
04:13It's all part of the job.
04:14No, he hasn't left me the key.
04:16Shall we give it a tow?
04:17No need.
04:18They're always forgetting the keys.
04:19I brought me own.
04:23Is that legal?
04:24No.
04:25Would I do anything illegal?
04:26I suppose not.
04:27Not if there was a witness.
04:28Yeah.
04:31I wouldn't have a red one, though.
04:37Oh, blimey.
04:39The way they do things nowadays.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Shilt cables come unsoldered.
04:44Has it?
04:45Yeah.
04:46Well, I'll just get some tools and you can be on your way.
04:48I'll get this one started up in two minutes.
04:50What?
04:51Just dump this back at the garage?
04:52Yeah.
04:53Oh.
04:54Key onto the driver's mat.
04:55Who's gonna nick this?
04:56You never know.
04:57Oh, er, thanks a lot, Terry.
04:59I won't forget this.
05:00I won't forget this.
05:01I won't let you, mate.
05:02Alright.
05:03Well, I got this.
05:04I'm gonna play.
05:05Well, I don't know what I think.
05:06You got this?
05:07OK.
05:08You get this.
05:10Yeah.
05:11You got this?
05:12Why?
05:13Well, that's good.
05:15You're right.
05:16Well, that's kinda good.
05:17Well, that's so cool.
05:18Honestly, Arthur.
05:30I've tried everything.
05:33Police, solicitors.
05:34I even thought of hiring a private detective.
05:37But I've heard so many stories about them.
05:38But you haven't yet tried me.
05:41It's nice of you, Arthur, but...
05:43No, I mean it.
05:44I think I can offer you just the help you need.
05:51Ifaristo, Polly.
05:52Paragano.
05:54I don't know anything about property deals, Arthur.
05:57No, but you're average intelligence.
05:59You know how to bring pressure to bear,
06:01and your heart's in the right place.
06:02Look, I know she's a friend of yours,
06:04but she's grown up, isn't she?
06:06At least I presume she is.
06:07Nobody forced her to hand over the money.
06:09Terry, she was conned in the most heartless way.
06:13Young woman, recently widowed.
06:15Please, not the violins.
06:16No, but you can see it, can't you?
06:18The villa in Majorca was security.
06:20A home, a new life.
06:21It all seemed kosher.
06:23And she wasn't the only one to get taken.
06:25See, what they do is they open with a big glossy brochure,
06:27followed up with a free trip to where the villas are going to be built.
06:30Bolts of champagne all round, no expense spared.
06:33How bad's that?
06:33Not bad at all.
06:35As long as the villa you paid for gets built.
06:37It's a job for the law.
06:39No, they can't do anything.
06:40In a case like this, you've got to prove it was planned as a fraud from the start.
06:43I don't think I have your undivided attention.
06:48Look, I'll be honest with you.
06:50I mean, she drives a cab for a living.
06:51She can't afford to pay me, can she?
06:52When you get her 6,000 quid back, we're in for 12 and a half percent.
06:58The bounty under.
07:01What's 12 and a half percent of nothing?
07:04There you are, Arthur.
07:06Joe.
07:06Sit down.
07:10This is the young man I was telling you about.
07:12Terry, Joe.
07:13Joe, Terry.
07:14Hello.
07:15Yeah, funny enough, Terry was just saying he looks on your story as a sort of challenge.
07:21And how he'd be delighted to help.
07:23Yeah.
07:24Yeah, that's right.
07:25If you're agreeable.
07:27Well, I don't quite know what to say.
07:29Of course, I'll make it worth your while.
07:31I put that rather clumsily, didn't I?
07:34No, not at all.
07:35What I meant to say was, if you recover the money, then you can take what you think is right.
07:40That's worth thinking about, isn't it?
07:43Um, this is the one letter I got for me.
07:48Yeah, just a volume part.
07:51Sunworthy.
07:52Homes in the Sun and Co. Limited.
07:54I like the name.
07:55It seems sort of reliable.
07:57The man I dealt with was Ralph Hurst.
07:59Yeah.
07:59All right, then, I'll shoot around and have a word with him this afternoon.
08:03Why waste time?
08:04What's wrong with now?
08:06Because he'll be having lunch, like everybody else.
08:09Now, there's a clever bit of deduction.
08:12Mr. Daly, we have some very special baby lambs for you today.
08:15Or if the lady prefers fish, we have some very special fresh barbunia.
08:21How about some very special red zina?
08:23No, thank you.
08:24Driving?
08:25Yes.
08:26Taking a customer to White City.
08:28We'll drop you off.
08:31Oh, how kind.
08:32Right then, George.
08:34Now, what are you going to have, Joe?
08:35This is 188, isn't it?
08:59Sunworthy homes.
09:00Yes.
09:00I'm not the first, then.
09:02Listen.
09:02We have no connection with Sunworthy homes.
09:05We have no knowledge of the whereabouts of Sunworthy or any Sunworthy personnel.
09:10We had never heard of Sunworthy till we moved here last month, and only them from other people.
09:14We cannot help you in any way, Mr. Booze.
09:17It says it all, doesn't it?
09:21Are you Mr. Booze?
09:23Are you a customer?
09:24Because if not, you can push off.
09:26Hey.
09:28I'm not afraid to scream, you know.
09:30Where's Hurst?
09:31Good morning.
09:43They've all gone, I'm afraid.
09:45Sorry?
09:47You looking for an allotment?
09:48We're all growing our own now.
09:50No, no.
09:51I'm looking for someone called Hurst.
09:55Well, I'm someone called Hurst.
09:57What is it?
09:59Ralph Hurst.
09:59No, he's my father.
10:04Well, would he be at home?
10:05Why?
10:06I want a word with him.
10:09What about?
10:10Well, I'd rather tell him that.
10:13It's about the villas in Mallorca.
10:15I'm working on behalf of a friend.
10:17Where are you from, a newspaper?
10:18No, no, I'm just...
10:19I see you've just come to lean on him.
10:22To hound him, to cause him distress.
10:24Cause him distress?
10:25What do you think he did to all those poor punters who lost their money on villas that never got built?
10:29Don't waste your time, son.
10:36Get out of here.
10:38Get off my land.
10:40Look, which of those houses is yours?
10:46I warned you.
10:47I'm sick to death of people abusing my father.
11:05Oh, yeah.
11:06For something he didn't do.
11:08What about conning people out of all their savings?
11:11He didn't con anyone.
11:13That will do.
11:14That will do.
11:16Now, just look at your clothes, that pair of you.
11:19Yes, you've done the beans and the spring cabbage with power of harm, too.
11:22He's another one of them, Dad.
11:23I'm not another one of anything.
11:25I'm a friend of someone who lost their money on your villas racket.
11:29I see.
11:31You'd better come inside.
11:33Oh, but Dad!
11:34He deserves an explanation.
11:36We're in full view of everyone around here.
11:38I don't know what your mother's going to say.
11:49Sugar, Mr. Terry.
11:51No, thanks.
11:53Let's go, Mr. Terry.
11:54No, thank you.
11:55I think he wants to say his piece.
11:57Well, let me.
12:00You see, Mr. Terry, the sunworthy fiasco was as much a blow to me as it must have been to your friend.
12:076,000 quids with...
12:08Are you going to listen or not?
12:09It's all right, Graham.
12:12Ralph was facing redundancy when it started.
12:14I sold pharmaceuticals, but horns were being drawn in and they were obliged to let me go.
12:19The handshake was far from golden.
12:22So when Freddie Fenton offered me the job...
12:25Freddie Fenton?
12:26Yes, it was his project.
12:28Naturally, I seized the opportunity with both hands.
12:31You see, at the end of it, by way of commission, there would have been a small villa for us.
12:36An ideal place to retire to.
12:39So you're not sunworthy, then?
12:41No, he employed me as one of the salesmen.
12:43But that's not the point.
12:45Because he did the selling, he has to take the blame.
12:48You've no idea what it's been like.
12:50People coming here, accusing him, threatening violence.
12:53It's not only frightening, it's humiliating.
12:55Oh, why didn't you send all these people round to Fenton?
13:00Well, if it had become a police matter, I wouldn't have hesitated.
13:04The man's done nothing wrong.
13:05I gave my word that I wouldn't disclose his whereabouts.
13:11He's probably left London now anyway.
13:14There's no purpose to be served by pursuing him.
13:17There's no money.
13:19He's bankrupt, I expect.
13:21I'm sorry for the creditors, of course.
13:23But why punish a man because he's made a mistake?
13:26Where was he the last time you saw him?
13:28Oh, don't ask any more questions.
13:30He doesn't know and wouldn't tell you anyway.
13:32God knows why.
13:33Fenton was in three months' commission.
13:35And then there was that business about...
13:36Look, he didn't mean it.
13:37He didn't know what he was saying.
13:38Now, don't blame him for getting excited.
13:40Excited?
13:41Threatening to beat you up if you persisted in asking for money that was yours?
13:44He did not mean it!
13:45I hope you understand now, Mr Terry, that I was not responsible for your friend's loss.
13:55Yeah.
13:57Yeah, OK.
14:00Thank you for the tea.
14:04I'm, uh, sorry about...
14:06No, don't be silly, you lot.
14:10I'll see you out.
14:15I don't want to upset Ralph any further.
14:25But I don't think he should take all the responsibility for Fenton's mistakes.
14:34It might help.
14:36It's his office address.
14:37Yes.
14:45Freddie, can I have a word?
14:54What about?
14:55Son-worthy.
14:56No, thanks.
14:57I have nothing to say.
15:00You'd better have something to say.
15:01No comment.
15:02No comment.
15:03Nothing to say.
15:04Fenton.
15:05Thank you very much.
15:06That's all I have to say.
15:08Fenton!
15:14Fenton?
15:15I'm not moving from here till you come out.
15:18Fenton!
15:20Fenton!
15:20He's gone home, mate.
15:21He's always away by half past four.
15:23No, he's still in there.
15:25He won't come out, that's all.
15:26What's your game, then?
15:28He owes me some money.
15:29You want to take the appropriate steps.
15:31Go through the proper channels.
15:33A barney in the street won't do no good.
15:36No, you're right, dear.
15:37I'll go through the proper channels.
15:44I'll go through the proper channels.
15:52I'll go through the proper channels.
16:01Mr. Fenton, I'm in the house opposite, keeping an eye on your front door, so you better stay put.
16:22Now, what I want you to do...
16:31Hey, Dad, look, you're trespassing.
16:34No, I'm not. I'm exercising my citizen's right of arrest.
16:38What do you mean?
16:40Sunworthy. Can only mean one thing, can't it?
16:43Look, I don't know what you want.
16:48I want £6,000 that belongs to a friend of mine, Mrs. Josephine Williams, who put it down as a deposit on one of your villas that never got built.
16:56Are you trying to threaten me?
16:58I'm not sure yet. We'll see how it goes.
17:01I've just been talking to Hurst.
17:05Oh, no doubt. He told you I was the villain and he was the harmless dupe.
17:09No.
17:10Yeah, well, let me tell you something. He was no help at all.
17:13He was supposed to be partners. He was supposed to be the business expert.
17:16All he knew about was selling, and how not to upset the natives.
17:20It's not very easy to admit you've failed.
17:22Oh, I hope you're not going to make me cry. I get upset very easily.
17:25I don't want to upset anybody.
17:26You should have thought of that before you conned Mrs. Williams and the rest of them.
17:29I didn't con anybody.
17:31If you didn't con Mrs. Williams, how come she lost six grand?
17:33I've done my best to pay everybody back.
17:35If anybody was conned, I was.
17:37Oh.
17:37All right. I was a bad businessman.
17:41I was undercapitalised.
17:42I got taken by the bloke who owned the land in Mallorca.
17:45In the end, I found I was paying way over the top for it.
17:48It's been a bloody nightmare. I wish I'd never got myself into it.
17:51But what are you going to do about it?
17:52There's nothing I can do about it. I'm bust, broke.
17:57So she's just got to write off £6,000.
17:58I wish I'd only lost £6,000. Everything's gone by lot.
18:02I didn't take my car to wear. A beautiful jag.
18:04I wish I'd never heard of Mallorca.
18:09Look, I'm doing my best to get straight.
18:11If I do, I promise you.
18:12Oh, don't make promises you can't keep.
18:16Oi. What are you living on?
18:18Social security.
18:19You mean the poor old taxpayer has to keep the likes of you?
18:22I've paid my share over the years.
18:33In myself, I see nothing against using a bit of pressure.
18:36Fair. Would have done no good at all.
18:38Well, if you say so.
18:39Will they say anything about my membership, Harold?
18:40Oh, I'll leave it a bit, Arthur.
18:41Come as my guest a few times.
18:43Show your face, I'll introduce you around,
18:44and then we'll put out a few feelers.
18:45It's not a night what I'm after.
18:46I just want to join the club, that's all.
18:48So you're told Joel, right?
18:50Me? That's your department.
18:51I just tell her the good news.
18:53See, what do you mean about the narrow lapels?
18:54Yeah, more discreet.
18:56She's working till nine tonight,
18:57and I'm going to Montclair with Harold.
18:59Where are we?
18:59What do you think about the whistle, Terry?
19:01What does he know?
19:03Yeah, what do I know?
19:04I'm still into wide lapels.
19:06Listen, you said you wanted to help her.
19:08I do. We eat in there, Harold.
19:10Yes, I put a table at half past eight.
19:11A bit early, isn't it?
19:12That's why I put you on the case.
19:14Put me on the case?
19:15Listen, you can say that
19:16when you're giving me $200 a day plus expenses.
19:19Best to be early before it gets busy.
19:20OK, well, it's your problem, Terry.
19:22It's your 12 and a half percent of six grand.
19:24Mine?
19:25It was ours yesterday.
19:26Oh, that's why he still had a chance of getting it.
19:28Yeah.
19:30Yeah, well, thanks.
19:31Thanks a lot.
20:02Won't be a minute, Mr. Fenton, sir.
20:07That's all right.
20:08I want it done properly.
20:13I like this one much better,
20:15the old blue one you had, sir.
20:17The old blue one was a 76.
20:20I know, sir, but there is nothing like a brand new car.
20:25Even there is no, sir.
20:29Thank you very much, sir.
20:31No, not this afternoon, Des, no.
20:44Oh, God, 15 minutes, that's all.
20:47What's up to the young Kevin now?
20:49Oh, I wish I knew.
20:50He didn't come in again today.
20:51It's just round the corner in High Street Ken.
20:52It's a Mercedes.
20:53Look, you can bring your suit with you.
20:56Desmond, it's pouring with rain.
20:58Oh, it's in a plastic bag.
21:00I'm not.
21:00Come on.
21:01Silly idiot's left the radio on.
21:30Here, gives me two bucks.
21:32There you go.
21:42You can dump the van back at the garage.
21:44Thanks.
21:59Right, come this way, gentlemen.
22:00Good evening, Mr. Stone.
22:05Hello, Julia, how are you?
22:06I'm fine, how are you?
22:07Good, terrific.
22:08Mr. Daly is my guest.
22:09Good evening.
22:10You've been keeping well?
22:11Very well.
22:12And you?
22:13All set for a heavy night.
22:14Oh, I hope so.
22:16I'll sign the book out.
22:19Thank you very much.
22:21Come with me.
22:23Evening.
22:24Evening.
22:24I think Fenton didn't know what he was doing
22:27and you all paid for it.
22:29Now, Hurst is really down on his luck.
22:31And Fenton, he's got a crummy little office.
22:33He drives an old banger.
22:35Now, if anybody got any money out of it,
22:36it wasn't those two.
22:37Does Arthur know about it?
22:38Yeah, yeah, I told him.
22:40He's very disappointed, of course.
22:42Yeah.
22:43But he didn't stop him going to the Montclair this evening.
22:46Well, I told you about that, didn't he?
22:48Yeah.
22:49Seemed important to him.
22:50Would you like a drink?
22:51Uh, yes, please, yeah.
23:05Friends of yours?
23:06Oh, he used to be a caster of mine some years ago.
23:09I often see him here.
23:11I haven't got much choice at the moment.
23:16I mean, I've got to earn my living.
23:18And there's the housekeeping and the shopping and the cooking.
23:20Ah, you made too much of that.
23:23I mean, it's just a way of filling in time, isn't it, really?
23:27Well.
23:28Look, I understand.
23:30It's good for us all to have some sort of routine to work by,
23:32but you've got to change it a little.
23:34I mean, extend your frontiers.
23:37What frontiers did you have in mind?
23:41Five pounds.
23:43Thank you, sir.
23:44Your mate's not doing too well.
23:46Oh, he can afford it.
23:47Oh, what's he in?
23:49Property.
23:49He's had some very nice developments in Spain, apparently.
23:52Some nice ones there, too, if you don't keep losing.
23:54I like Beethoven.
24:09Did you see the film?
24:11Was it from a film?
24:15Don't answer that.
24:15Oh, hello.
24:19Uh, hold on.
24:22Turn it down, love.
24:26Andy.
24:28Oh, can't you find someone else?
24:30Oh, no, of course not.
24:34Would I let you down?
24:36I'm on my way.
24:37You're not going to work.
24:43Can't let them down.
24:44Oh, don't you, why not?
24:45You don't even like the job.
24:47That isn't the point, is it?
24:52I can't take any more disappointments.
24:53Good night, Mr Bailey.
25:02Good night.
25:06He remembered my name.
25:08I reckon Fiver was about right, don't you?
25:12I don't want to look ostentatious.
25:14Oh, yes, I think that was all right.
25:15All right.
25:23Is your young lady driving you home tonight?
25:30No, no, no, she's off tonight.
25:32No, I'll, uh, I'll pick up a cab.
25:34I'll drop you home if you like.
25:35Oh.
25:45Harold.
25:46That bloke with the Spanish Developments.
25:48Is his name Freddy Fender?
25:49Not quite.
25:50Freddy Fenton.
25:50Do you know where he lives?
25:51Where he lives?
25:52I can tell you his inside leg measurement, if you like.
26:15Arthur.
26:16I've got some news for you.
26:22I've got some news for you.
26:47Evelyn.
26:47how cozy
27:06I think you'd better leave us Val
27:11and turn that thing off
27:17I suppose you think you're Jack the lad walking in here
27:26you weren't quite straight with me were you
27:28you said you'd lost everything at the sale of your jag
27:32it's lucky you had the roller in it
27:34that's not mine it's got your initials on it
27:38doesn't mean to say I own it
27:39it's leased by a company I do some work for
27:42they allow me to use it
27:43oh that's nice isn't it
27:45what about all this by another company
27:48see I don't own anything
27:49except of course that 1970 Cortina
27:52lucky to have all these companies
27:54that you can do some work for
27:56yeah run by friends of mine
27:57where would we be without our friends
27:59that's what I always say
28:01and I don't like cheap con artists
28:03that's what I always say
28:05there's nothing cheap about me son
28:06this watch costs more money than you'll earn this year
28:11but you don't own it do you
28:12it belongs to one of your companies
28:14no as a matter of fact I did buy this
28:18out of winnings from a casino
28:20a friend of mine lent me the original snake of course
28:22and I'm not a con artist
28:24like I told you before I was unlucky
28:27I paid too much for the land
28:29that's right
28:30but that was a deal you had with the landowner wasn't it
28:33whatever you could get these poor punters to pay
28:36that was the price of the land
28:37and then when the company went bust
28:40he'd quietly very quietly
28:42give you back half the money
28:43that's just a fantasy
28:46is it
28:47well now here's a bit of reality
28:51if Mrs Williams doesn't get her six grand back today
28:55I'm going to make you famous

36:11If it isn't, we'll find somewhere else.
36:14You didn't make all this fuss with the Jag and the Mercedes.
36:16Well, that was different. I've got it all worked out.
36:18That's what we're doing here, innit? Working it all out.
36:26That's the old sod.
36:41This is the old sod.
36:47This is the old sod.
36:53This is the old sod.
36:59The old sod.
37:15This is a new sod.
37:50Oh, that's all right.
37:57You can leave this one today, son.
37:58Why? Who are you?
38:00Freddy, Mr. Fenton, wants us to fit a radio telephone in here.
38:04It'll be back by four.
38:06First I heard of it.
38:07I supposed to wash it and go home early today.
38:10With all due respect, Sunbeam,
38:11Mr. Fenton doesn't really have to ask your permission for us to get a radio telephone fitting, does he?
38:16Funny. He didn't mention it.
38:18Well, no, he didn't mention it because we've only just phoned his office to tell him we could do it today.
38:22If you don't like it, go and phone him.
38:23Don't get scroppy with me. I only work here.
38:26You're all right.
38:26Don't worry.
38:29I'll tell him what a wonderful job you're doing.
38:46It's on Mr. Fenton's account, isn't it?
38:47Oh, that's right.
38:51It's on.
38:51Yeah, well, I'm fine.
39:07Right, now, where are you going to keep this?
39:09No, on second thoughts, don't tell them.
39:10You'll don't want to know.
39:10It'll be quite safe.
39:11Don't worry.
39:12Tell you what, Terry,
39:13they fetch a lot of money in the Middle East these years.
39:16Desmond.
39:16Just making a point.
39:18Well, don't make the point.
39:19Don't even think about it.
39:20I can't help it.
39:21Well, stop it.
39:22Have you sorted out the lorry?
39:23Is that absolutely necessary?
39:24Yes.
39:25Absolutely.
39:25I wouldn't worry about you, Cortina.
39:39That's in your usual place in the car park.
39:41It's your roller that's been nicked.
39:43Hey, John.
39:43Don't do that.
39:44You'll only get your suit ripped.
39:46Well, I should just tell the police.
39:47That's a novel idea, yeah.
39:49But if you do,
39:50my friend who's looking after the car,
39:53he'll see that something very dramatic happens to him.
39:56Like it might fall over a cliff
39:58or burst into flames,
39:59that sort of thing.
40:01So he wouldn't be any better off, would you?
40:03Now, on the other hand,
40:04if you was to return
40:05Mrs Williams' her 6,000 pounds,
40:08I think I could guarantee
40:09that you get your roller back good as new.
40:12Then, of course, it is brand new, isn't it?
40:14What's the difference, Freddie?
40:15Is he short?
40:16Let him have it.
40:17You can get a new one.
40:17Oh, shut up, John.
40:19Yeah, shut up, John.
40:21You see, it takes three years to get a new roller,
40:23and Freddie knows that, don't you?
40:25So where are we?
40:27Mrs Williams gets her 6,000 back,
40:29and you get your roller back.
40:31Otherwise, you don't.
40:32And there's nothing you
40:33or anybody else can do about it.
40:35You know, I do hate having to say this,
40:38but you won't get away with it.
40:39Oh, yes, I will.
40:41And I'm going to do you a favour.
40:44I'll give you a bit of advice.
40:45You see, there are winners and losers in this world.
40:49Now, you, you're the one with the property,
40:51you're the one with the cash,
40:52you're the one with the roller,
40:53whether you say you own it or not.
40:55So you're the one who stands to lose.
40:58And me, I've got nothing.
41:00I'm fireproof.
41:03Here, read that carefully.
41:06Take your time.
41:06It's your instructions.
41:08There, read that carefully.
41:10If you look like you're the one with the
43:09Have you got the money?
43:14A thousand in each packet.
43:16It was sealed at the bank.
43:17There's no need to count it.
43:22It's a pleasure to do business with you.
43:24How are you getting home?
43:25Well, I thought you might give me a lift and a two.
43:30Right!
43:30Let's go.
43:31Let's go.
43:32Let's go.
43:32Let's go.
43:33Are you all right?
44:02Yes, certainly.
44:02Off you go.
44:03Twelve and a half percent of 6,000 quid.
44:22Seven hundred and fifty.
44:23Fifty-five over two.
44:24Oh, so it's seven fifty.
44:26Yeah, seven fifty.
44:28Three hundred and seventy-five quid each.
44:31That's fair, isn't it?
44:33No, I'm not bothered.
44:34I did it for Jo.
44:34She can do what she likes with the money.
44:35You mean you don't want to be the one who has to bring up the subject of rewards?
44:39That's all right.
44:40I don't mind.
44:41Jo's the kind of girl who appreciates someone who says what's on their mind.
44:45Unless you have some other arrangement with her?
44:49More personal?
44:51Oh, no.
44:52No?
44:52No arrangements.
44:53No?
44:54No.
44:55Oh, Jo.
44:56Andy radioed the message to me.
44:58I was out at Luton.
44:58That's why I've been so long.
45:00Here you go.
45:01Three.
45:03You don't know what this means to me.
45:06Terry, I never thought...
45:07Oh, don't be silly.
45:08It's a pleasure.
45:10Suddenly everything's different.
45:11Oh, Arthur, Terry, this is my boss, Andy.
45:14And not anymore.
45:16What are you fellas drinking?
45:17No, no, no.
45:17We're fine, thanks.
45:19Oh, you've just lost a driver.
45:20That's right.
45:21You don't have to count it.
45:22It's all there.
45:23I know, but...
45:24200 pounds?
45:31I know you didn't do it for the money.
45:33That's just for expenses, that's all.
45:35Well, I know you won't be offended.
45:37It's just a token of my appreciation.
45:40No, no, I'm not offended.
45:41It's a really nice thought.
45:43In it, Arthur.
45:46Well, I, uh, must be going, if you don't mind.
45:49No, we have to call on my solicitor.
45:51Yes, Andy's thinking of selling his share of the business to his partner, so, uh, we're
45:56thinking of buying a little place in Mallorca.
45:59Mallorca?
45:59Hmm.
46:00A bar with hotel accommodation.
46:03This is my partner now, for want of a better word.
46:06Oh, Terry, you've been marvellous.
46:10Thanks very much.
46:10Well, good luck for both of you.
