00:01Here we are, then.
00:03Ta, Mario.
00:05Shall we pop out the back, see how he's getting on?
00:07Would he like coffee?
00:09No, no, no. Don't interrupt him while he's working.
00:21I've always had trouble in the back.
00:23Ah, me too.
00:26It's sleepless nights, Mommy, I can tell you.
00:29Interesting, though, the human spine is not strong enough to support an animal that walks upright all the time.
00:37Upright all the time? I only wish I could, I'm telling you that.
00:40No, it's a fact. I read it in The Observer.
00:44Here, come on, Terry, we'll be here all day.
00:47Leave it out, Arthur, there's hundreds of the pleading things.
00:49One hundred and ninety-four.
00:51Hang about, Mario, you said two hundred.
00:54What is sixteenths?
00:56Anyhow, I gave you the rest for practically nothing.
00:58Green peaches, pickled walnuts.
01:00These are quality goods, not rubbish, you know.
01:03It's a shame there ain't any labels on them, no.
01:05Whoever passes easy is really living dangerously.
01:07Ah, people can't resist a gamble.
01:09That's a psychology of salesmanship, Terry.
01:12Well, good luck.
01:14I've got to get back to work. You finished?
01:16Yeah, ciao, ciao, Mario.
01:17Ciao, eh?
01:18Oh, er...
01:19I'll, er...
01:21Take it easy, Gary.
01:22Oh, yeah, I will.
01:31I never knew you had back trouble.
01:33Well, I don't talk about it, do I?
01:35Suffer in dignified silence.
01:37Must be a worry, though.
01:39Yeah.
01:40Your age.
01:41Age has got nothing to do with it.
01:42Come on, get them tins on, Terry.
01:44I want to be shot of them by this afternoon.
01:46Oh, the pity he only wanted the clean features.
01:57And everybody else only wants a bleeding walnut.
01:59All right, all right.
02:01I don't know what's the matter with people today.
02:03No imagination, no initiative.
02:05I suppose I can't wait to buy to my orders for the day.
02:10Where to now?
02:11You hungry?
02:12No, I'm starving as it happens.
02:14All right, come on.
02:15I'll buy you a bacon sandwich.
02:17Arthur, don't push a vote out of my account.
02:23Hang about a bit.
02:24Somebody getting a spanking.
02:27Oh, they'll do him a permanent.
02:31Hey!
02:32Take it easy, my son.
02:33Oh.
02:34You all right, man?
02:35Yeah, okay.
02:36He's all right.
02:37I think.
02:38What's the damage?
02:39Okay, he's okay.
02:40Yeah.
02:41Looks like I cut some bruises.
02:42Let me get caught.
02:43Oh.
02:44You all right, man?
02:45Yeah, okay.
02:46He's all right.
02:47I think.
02:48What's the damage?
02:49Okay, he's okay.
02:50Yeah.
02:51Looks like I cut some bruises.
02:52Let me get caught.
02:53Oh.
02:54Oh.
02:55Oh.
02:56You want to go to the hospital?
02:57No.
02:58Doctor?
02:59He's not bad.
03:00He's not bad.
03:01Do you want to lift anywhere?
03:02Yes, yes, please.
03:03You take me Tauros.
03:04Where's that?
03:05It's a restaurant in Green's Lanes.
03:07You all right?
03:08Come on.
03:09My name is Carol Ambos.
03:11Oh, yeah.
03:12In English, it's Charlie.
03:15This town is hard for me.
03:18I see Greek Cypriots playing cards with Turkish Cypriots.
03:22Oh, well, yeah.
03:23It's very cosmopolitan, Palmer's Green.
03:34Come on.
03:35Hold on.
03:36They kicked my knee.
03:37Yeah, I know the feeling.
03:42Nice place.
03:43He's made cushions.
03:52A table for three?
03:53Not just now, sir.
03:55I don't want a table, you idiot.
03:57Charlie, what the hell is the matter with you?
03:59Slight accident.
04:00Well, you could have brought him in the back way.
04:02What will the customs think?
04:03Through here.
04:04Oh, OK.
04:05Very charming.
04:06You must remember this.
04:07Yes, you must.
04:08Hey, Terry, are you getting it?
04:09Yeah, all right.
04:10Hold it.
04:11Hold it.
04:12There you go, son.
04:14I'll give it a chair.
04:15Here you are.
04:16Sit down.
04:17It's OK.
04:18Are you all right?
04:19What?
04:20How are you getting it?
04:21I'm getting it.
04:22You're all right.
04:23Hold it.
04:24There you go, son.
04:25It's good.
04:27I'm getting it.
04:28Here you are.
04:29Sit down.
04:30It's OK.
04:31You all right?
04:32What happened this time, Charlie?
04:34My name's Daley, Miss...
04:36Mrs. Costos.
04:37Mrs. Costos.
04:38Well, me and my partner, Terry, come upon this gentleman being set upon by three young hooligans.
04:42Giving him a right good eye, didn't they were?
04:44And we stepped in and helped him out.
04:46Are you hurt?
04:47It's not bad.
04:49Sorry, Christine.
04:51My cousin has been in the country three days.
04:54He seems incapable of keeping out of trouble.
04:56Please, Christine, I am making no trouble.
04:58I am drinking coffee.
05:00A Turk, Arsene, if I have seen the new monument in Nicosia to the brave Turkish soldiers who invade Cyprus, what am I to say?
05:10I tell him, his brave Turkish soldiers who shoot my brother when he has no gun.
05:16I tell them that.
05:17What did you expect, you fool?
05:19It's not my fault.
05:21I must get back to the restaurant.
05:22Thank you for your help, Mr. Haley.
05:24Daley.
05:25Arthur, Daley.
05:26You mind to have a word, Mrs. Costos?
05:28Well, if it won't take too long.
05:29Terry.
05:30Go and start up the van, will you?
05:32Yeah, all right.
05:33Tad on, mate.
05:34Look after yourself.
05:35Yeah, yeah.
05:38Bye-bye.
05:42I suppose you want some compensation for your trouble.
05:44Now, Mrs. Costos, do I look like that sort of person?
05:48Now, I was wondering, do you get much call for pickled walnuts?
05:52Pickled walnuts?
05:52Yeah, you know, bug them in a moussaka or something.
05:55You can bug anything in a moussaka.
05:56Oh, no offence intended.
05:57I don't get any call for pickled walnuts, Mr. Daley.
06:00Thank you very much.
06:01No, it's just a fault anyway.
06:02So long, Charlie.
06:04Bye-bye, Mrs. Costos.
06:05From now on, Charlie, you keep your mouth shut.
06:11I will not allow your obsession with what happened in Cyprus to jeopardize my restaurant.
06:15And some woman.
06:19Capable, too, I should think, running a restaurant like that.
06:22Wonder where the old man was.
06:23I didn't see him, did you?
06:25Fancy your chances, Ed, do you?
06:26Well, it'd be dead handy, wouldn't it?
06:28Pop in for a little bit of tender loving care.
06:30Nice fillet steak on the house.
06:32Oh, she couldn't wait to see the back of us.
06:34Oh, yeah.
06:36You understand the machinations of the passionate continental, do you, Terry?
06:40Look, I understand it look like that when you...
06:41Let's go and get a bite to eat,
06:42and then we'll tell Mario what he can do with his pickled bloody walnuts.
06:45I don't see why it is so important.
06:50It's important because I say so.
06:54Just keep Charlie away from the restaurant and away from me.
06:57Especially me, right?
06:59What does it matter if he finds out?
07:00We're not doing anything wrong.
07:02Not in London, we're not.
07:03Who cares what widows get up to around here?
07:05But what about backing Cyprus?
07:07Now, if Charlie finds out about us,
07:09he'll start flapping his mouth before he's unpacked his souvenir model of Buckingham Palace.
07:13And the next thing we know,
07:14the rest of your bloody cousins are over here,
07:16drinking the restaurant dry and trying to save your soul.
07:19All right, Johnny, all right.
07:21From now on, I keep Charlie away from here, huh?
07:31Johnny,
07:31I want to talk to you about Omar.
07:34Well, I don't.
07:35I have to do something about him, Johnny.
07:38He could make trouble for the restaurant.
07:40I was thinking if I offered him a cash sum...
07:43No way, Christina.
07:45Now, we can make good money from this place.
07:48And when I say we, I mean you and me.
07:50You let Omar and his Turkish hordes get a foot inside the door here,
07:56and I'm off.
08:02Do you understand what I'm saying, Christina?
08:05Yes, yes, you're right.
08:10I've got things to do.
08:12Two slices of mortadella.
08:15First comes in a woman.
08:17Very smart, a bloody foreigner.
08:18She wants to know
08:21where is the man who drives my van.
08:25Thank you very much.
08:26You're paying me, sir.
08:28There we are.
08:29Come again soon.
08:33Two slices of mortadella.
08:38Then in comes a man.
08:40Not so smart.
08:41Even more of a bloody foreigner,
08:43so you can hardly understand what he's saying.
08:45And he wants to know
08:46where is the man who drives my van.
08:48What do you do to my van?
08:49Hit a nun?
08:50I'm sorry, Mario.
08:53They come in asking questions and they buy nothing.
08:55Well, I don't know what it's all about.
08:56What do you tell them?
08:57I told them to go to the Winchester Club.
09:00I told them
09:01that they could always find Arthur daily there.
09:04Except when he's driving around causing trouble in my van.
09:06Yeah, talking to your van, Mario,
09:08me and Terry have had a bit of a...
09:09Hold on.
09:10This is nothing to do with me, all right?
09:12Me and Terry have had a bit of a setback with them tins.
09:14Setback?
09:15Yeah, we still got the bastards.
09:16I was wondering if we could leave them here for the time being.
09:19Oh, no, no, no, no.
09:19I've got no room.
09:20There's a big delivery of all of them all coming in today.
09:23Well, don't you need the van?
09:24Just take a look out front.
09:29As a matter of fact,
09:30I've been trying to sell that old van for months.
09:33Now that I've got the new one,
09:34you can use that old one as long as you like.
09:44Bloody tins have been in the want me.
09:46White Chapel Italians, they're all villains.
09:48Hey, look, you better get down to the Dragon.
09:50At least there'll be some money coming in from somewhere.
09:52Drop me off at the Winchester.
09:54You reckon it was her from the Tavros?
09:56Well, of course it was.
09:57I reckon the other one was Charlie.
09:59God knows what he wants.
10:02God knows what she wants either.
10:04Well, it's obvious, isn't it?
10:05Case of instant attraction.
10:09I thought it was instant hatred.
10:11Nah.
10:12She didn't want to let on in front of everyone else.
10:14I see your point.
10:16I mean, fancying you,
10:18she'd want to keep that quiet, wouldn't she?
10:24I'll see you about chucking outside, then.
10:34Maybe.
10:35Maybe not.
10:37Arthur, Arthur.
10:38Yeah?
10:38Be careful, eh?
10:40She's only after your pickled walnuts.
10:42Oh, come on, Arthur.
11:03Have one with me.
11:04Oh, that's very nice of you, Dave.
11:06Vodka Slim.
11:17Terry down a drinker, wrestling the Irish.
11:19Yeah.
11:22I can't remember when we last had the pleasure of your company for a whole evening.
11:25There was somebody who wanted to see me, and I must have blown out.
11:30Mr. Daly?
11:32Mrs. Costos.
11:35Well, this is a pleasant surprise.
11:37You'll get the lady a drink, Dave.
11:39Campari soda, please.
11:40No ice.
11:41Carry me up.
11:41No ice.
11:43Do sit down.
11:45There we are.
11:45Thank you very much.
11:48You must forgive me for tracking you down like this, Mr. Daly.
11:52Arthur.
11:53Please, Mrs. Costos.
11:54Christina.
11:57Oh, that's nice.
11:58Just like in Anasis.
12:02I must apologize for my behavior this afternoon.
12:06You were being so helpful, and I was so...
12:08No, no, no.
12:08Don't say another word.
12:09You were obviously under extreme stress.
12:13You are so perceptive.
12:16Yes, it's true.
12:18I have been under a lot of stress recently since my husband died.
12:22Oh.
12:23Oh, I am sorry to hear that, Christina.
12:26You're very kind.
12:28But the worst is over now.
12:30And I keep busy.
12:31I have the restaurant to run.
12:34The trouble is, Arthur.
12:37Yes?
12:37I am Greek.
12:40I am a Greek Cypriot.
12:42My late husband was a Turkish Cypriot, so now I have a few friends on either side.
12:49My late husband's friends and relations think it is wrong.
12:53Not suitable for me to run the restaurant on my own.
12:56Christina, are you in some sort of trouble?
13:01Yes.
13:03There is a man.
13:05Omar.
13:06He was my husband's brother.
13:09He runs a horrible cafe.
13:11He thinks he should take my husband's place in the restaurant.
13:17Not only in the restaurant.
13:21Diabolical.
13:22I am expecting him to call on me tomorrow.
13:24That's why I had to see you.
13:26Arthur, he is a very violent man.
13:28No, no, don't worry, Christina.
13:30I will put Terry in there for the day.
13:33He's an expert in what you might call curbing violence.
13:37Oh, I'm so grateful to you.
13:39Of course, I will pay him.
13:40No, no, no, no, Christina.
13:41You mustn't talk about money.
13:42Finish up your drink.
13:44Oh, no, I won't, thank you.
13:46I must go now.
13:48Must you?
13:51Arthur, would it be possible for Terry to wear a tie and a suit?
13:56We must be discreet.
13:57Right.
13:58Don't alarm the punters.
14:00Well, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
14:03Me too.
14:13Very tasty.
14:15Missed out, did you?
14:16You mustn't rush these things, Dave.
14:18Take them along gently.
14:20Lull them into a sense of false security.
14:25Oh, I'd better go and pick up Terry.
14:26Or Harry will palm him off with a handful of luncheon vouchers.
14:29Oh, that wouldn't do, would it?
14:30I mean, Terry getting his wages to rex.
14:34Do you like pickled walnuts?
14:38Nothing up there yet.
14:39They'd turn me right up.
14:41Yeah.
14:41You and a million other people, it seems.
14:44I think we've got a gatecrasher.
14:47Oh, my God.
14:48It's all right.
14:49He's a mate of mine.
14:51Arthur.
14:51Arthur.
14:52Yeah, calm down.
14:53Calm down.
14:53Calm down.
14:54You must help me.
14:57Arthur, it's very important.
14:58Yeah, what you've been doing?
14:58You've been aggravating the Turkish population again?
15:00I have lost a key.
15:03I think in the back of your, how do you say, how do you say, lorry?
15:07Your van.
15:07Van.
15:08It's a very important key for me.
15:09It's a key for my luggage.
15:11All right.
15:11Well, I'm going to meet Terry now, so you'd better come with me.
15:13Oh, Arthur, you are my good friend.
15:16Leave it out, Charlie.
15:17Come on, lads.
15:27Finish up.
15:29Now, this is what really gets up my nose.
15:33They happily take your money all evening, then dead on the bill, it's sod off you and keep
15:38the bleeding noise down.
15:39It's the law.
15:41Up the law.
15:42Come on.
15:43Let's go.
15:44I'm finishing my drink.
15:45Good luck, then.
15:47Come on, sunshine, on your bike.
15:50Touch me, John, and I'll do you.
16:01Oh, I'm a trust, Lord.
16:04You'll break my bleeding arm.
16:06If you come back again, I'll break your bleeding neck.
16:08Ouch.
16:10Quiet night, Terry.
16:12Charlie here reckons he dropped a key in a van.
16:14I'd probably fill out of his pocket while he was rolling around on a cobbles.
16:17Yeah, well, go and help him look for it, eh?
16:20Good evening, Arthur.
16:22Good evening, Terence.
16:24I'll just go and say hello, diary.
16:26How are you feeling now?
16:32Oh, I hurt a bit.
16:34A bit of leg, much better.
16:36That's good, isn't it?
16:46What's that, left luggage?
16:47Got it.
16:51Got it.
16:53Yeah.
16:55Oh, yeah.
16:56Right there.
16:57Harry wants to know if you want a swift one.
16:58He wants us to run him to the station.
17:01Please, Arthur.
17:02It's very important.
17:03Struggle on, Charlie.
17:04Can't a clean wife runs wait till the morning?
17:06His last thing, I ask.
17:08All right, all right.
17:09Come on.
17:10Everyone on the charra.
17:11Thanks, Harry.
17:21So, Christina says that...
17:23Oh, Christina now, is it?
17:26So, Christina, she says she wants you to look out for this Omar geezer.
17:31Oh, come on.
17:32Where's laughing boy in his treasure chest?
17:35I'm dying for some kip.
17:36Here he comes.
17:45All right, Charlie.
17:47Hey, mind them tins.
17:48Don't dent them.
17:49Your poor little warden.
17:52Now, what's this hotel?
17:53The Machos?
17:54Machos?
17:55No, no.
17:56Now you take me Honsie Road, please.
17:58Honsie Road?
17:59Leave it out.
18:00No, come on.
18:01We'll take you home, Charlie.
18:03All right.
18:04He's got something naughty on.
18:05What you got in there?
18:05A case of illegally imported cypress, Harry.
18:09No, no.
18:10He's nothing like that.
18:11He's just my gun.
18:19I am sorry, Terry.
18:22But will you take me Honsie Road, please?
18:25He's very important.
18:35Drive faster.
18:38You're not going to shoot, Terry.
18:40He's your friend.
18:41We both are.
18:42We helped you out, right?
18:44Please.
18:45Please.
18:45No, no, no.
18:46Come on.
18:46There's a good lad.
18:47Charlie.
18:48Charlie.
18:48Charlie.
18:49There's a good lad.
18:49There's no point in blowing Terry's head off.
18:52None at all.
18:53And what a thing to do to someone who saved you from a beating, eh?
18:56Please.
18:57Come on, Charlie.
18:58Arthur.
18:58There's a good boy.
18:59Sorry.
19:11Very sorry.
19:14Listen, something.
19:15You ever do that again, I'll break your legs.
19:17Oh, where'd you get this, Charlie?
19:21War Museum?
19:22No, no, no.
19:23He's my grandfather's.
19:25I have to cut the barrel fit case.
19:28He would be mad with me for that.
19:29Oh, I should think so, too.
19:30That's vandalism.
19:31Yeah, look at Terry.
19:32Look, he's quite upset.
19:35Yeah.
19:36With his shotgun stuck in me here, I do tend to get quite upset.
19:40Antique shooter like this, you're probably in the safest place.
19:45Terry, forgive me.
19:46Terry, don't touch me.
19:49Now, come on, Charlie.
19:50Where's this hotel you're staying at?
19:52The Turks, they bomb village.
19:56Then the soldiers, they come.
19:59He's a curfew.
20:02But my brother, he's stubborn.
20:05He sit outside his house in the evening like a Greek, he said.
20:12He's the Turkish soldier.
20:14Shoot him.
20:18You?
20:18Where was you?
20:20He was in my house, obeying curfew.
20:24Yeah, but how do you know it was this guy that did him?
20:27I have information.
20:29This man here tells me a Turk is boasting.
20:33He knows name of my village, name of my brother.
20:37This man, he knows everything.
20:39Yeah, but who is this man?
20:40He is a Greek Cypriot.
20:43It's a very sad story, Charlie.
20:44But you go around London topping Turks, all you'll get is banged up where they don't serve kebabs.
20:49And what about Christina?
20:51Oh, yeah.
20:52It's Christina.
20:53Yeah, it's Christina.
20:54She's here to a nut, won't she?
20:55Yeah.
20:56Come on.
20:57Now, you be a good boy.
20:59No more trouble, Arthur.
21:02Oh, and Terry, get yourself a suit for tomorrow.
21:05Here, come on.
21:06Christina don't want you looking scruffy while you're minding her calf.
21:09Scruffy?
21:10Bleeding cheap.
21:11Oh, Terry.
21:12Do me a favour, my son.
21:15Observe the speed limits.
21:16I mean, it's not going to be very clever to be stopped while we've got Charlie's amputated shooter on board, is it?
21:21Not to mention the pickled walnuts.
21:25And Terry, wear a tie.
21:26Eh?
21:28A tie.
21:30Tie.
21:32Yeah, I'll remember.
21:33I had one of them once.
21:36Oh!
21:37Terry!
21:38My father used to tell me about the old days, when the men would put on their best suits and go out at dawn to shoot somebody for looking at their sister.
21:47I reckon Charlie heard the same stories, too.
21:51I never thought he would go to such extremes.
21:54I'm ashamed to say it, but I've always thought of him as being rather comical.
21:58Put him on a plane, home, love, or he might commit a comical murder.
22:03Arthur, I don't know how to thank you. You've been wonderful.
22:06Well, I'll see you later, Christina.
22:08And don't worry about Omar.
22:10If he comes on strong, Terry will kick him into touch.
22:13I saw this geezer. Mind you, he was Irish.
22:16Every night, after he'd had a few drinks, he used to get a roof tile, put it on the bar, look at it, then what?
22:23Break it in half with his head.
22:25Straight up, fix the post-it was unbelievable.
22:27I'm going to have another go with those bloody tins. I might drop in later for a spot of lunch.
22:31Yeah, well, aye, just don't forget, if you sell any, you still owe me.
22:35Of course.
22:36Oh.
22:36Oh, very nice.
22:43Don't put your thumbs in the soup.
22:45Oh, whoops.
22:46Oh, I'm sorry, friend. We're not serving lunch yet.
22:51I don't think you'll realize who I am.
22:54No, I don't. Who are you? Hitman for Fanny Craddock?
22:59It's all right, Terry. He's a friend.
23:01Whatever you're paying that bug is too much.
23:11I have to protect myself, don't I? You won't let me deal with Omar in my way.
23:15Well, I have to keep him at arm's length somehow.
23:17Here, Terry.
23:18I had it up to here with being a waiter.
23:26Terry, I'm strong. I don't smoke. I don't drink. I do karate. You think I could get work like you?
23:33Well, um, are you intelligent? Quick thinking?
23:39Oh, yeah.
23:40You got initiative?
23:42Definitely.
23:43Then no.
23:44You're overqualified.
23:45I just want you to tell me what to do.
23:48First of all, sort out your comedian of a cousin.
23:52Ship him back to his goats or whatever he's got.
23:55Come on, we'll go and get him a ticket right now.
23:57All right.
23:58Then I'll tell you what to do about Omar.
24:01In the meantime, your tame bouncer can mine things, okay?
24:05Yes, okay.
24:08Charlie's gun in here?
24:10No. I hid it in the storeroom.
24:13I'll throw it off a bridge or whatever it is you're supposed to do.
24:16Yeah.
24:19Christina, why don't you go and bring the car onto the front?
24:23I've got a few calls to make.
24:27Johnny, listen, I don't mean to go on at you, but I just want you to help me.
24:35I understand.
24:37Now I'm helping you, right?
24:39I get the car.
25:00It's Omar.
25:01Help you, gentlemen?
25:10I've come to see Mrs. Caustas.
25:13Oh, she's not seeing anybody at the moment.
25:15She'd better see me.
25:17No.
25:17She particularly doesn't want to see you.
25:21I'm amused that Mrs. Caustas should go to such lands employing a bodyguard.
25:24But if you will not tell her that I'm here, Shafiq will fetch a form him.
25:32Yeah, well, I suppose I can't stop him trying.
25:34Shafiq.
25:35Have a look.
25:45It's John Travolta.
25:51That's fantastic.
25:52Very well.
25:54You will tell Christina that if she's not prepared to discuss things in a civilized fashion,
25:58then I must think about things in a different way.
26:04This restaurant will be closed within one week.
26:08Yeah, all right.
26:09I'll tell her.
26:11But in the meantime, get yourself and your friend out.
26:16Come.
26:18Things will go bad, Augustina.
26:21Yeah.
26:21From no one.
26:24A table for two?
26:25Yeah, help yourself, pal.
26:26Oh, dear.
26:27Don't worry.
26:29It wasn't the cooking.
26:32Come on, sir.
26:34Come on.
26:34Table for two.
26:35Good morning.
26:38Well?
26:39Well, he's gone.
26:41But he's definitely got plans for you.
26:43What does he mean, plans?
26:46Like closing you down.
26:48Well, you're here to make sure that doesn't happen, aren't you?
26:52Yeah, but let's just say, just for a joke,
26:54that he gets a few tizer bottles,
26:56fills them up with four-star,
26:57and lobs them through the window.
26:58Then form the fire brigade.
27:01I thought you were supposed to be the hard nut around here.
27:05Yeah, well, I just thought I'd mention it.
27:08Surely, Omar, don't you?
27:09Listen, he probably wants to hustle some work for his mates.
27:13Now, go and get the car, okay?
27:14Okay?
27:14You get back in the restaurant.
27:32Now, listen.
27:34As far as I'm concerned, I work for Mrs. Costos.
27:37So while I'm in the restaurant,
27:39you don't talk to me, you don't come near me.
27:41Because I don't like you.
27:44And I'm having a lot of trouble trying to keep it a secret.
27:51No answer.
27:52Please, pick number five.
28:04Who's having a little green round, thanks?
28:10Those will be my stop-bindies.
28:12Yours.
28:12Um.
28:13Good, good.
28:26Terence, table for one.
28:46One what?
28:48Van Gogh's your tip for starters.
28:50All talking to starters, bunkers a menu.
28:53Ta.
28:54You can't sit down with a customer.
28:56No, listen, I'm only joking.
29:01How's it going?
29:03Well, you've got competition.
29:06Oh, yeah? What kind?
29:07That young geezer just going out the door.
29:10He is Christina's.
29:13Joking.
29:15Any sign of Omar?
29:17Oh, yeah, Omar came in with a little friend.
29:19Had to give his friend a smack on the wrist, so they took their customer elsewhere.
29:23But I think it was just an opener.
29:25I reckon they'll be back for the second leg.
29:28He's no more than a bit of a boy.
29:30That's right.
29:30You'll have to settle for being a father figure, won't you?
29:35Me?
29:36I don't give them monkeys.
29:38Leave it out, Arthur.
29:39You were all over her.
29:40Business, wasn't it?
29:43All it needed was a little charm, and here you are, earning a nice little wage, and here
29:47I am, ordering lunch on the house.
29:49Now, are you listening?
29:50I do right.
29:51Avocado, vinaigrette.
29:52Hold on.
29:53Lamb kebab.
29:54Oh.
29:54Green salad.
29:56Nick?
29:57Boy, come on, where's your little book?
29:59Nick?
29:59Now, your plane leaves at 7.30, eh?
30:17Yes.
30:17I get you a minicab.
30:19No.
30:20No, no, no.
30:21I take you myself.
30:23If I spend more time with you, none of this would have happened.
30:27I see you later.
30:28You eat too much animal fat, you do.
30:47No, straight up, I read about it.
30:49See, in the countries where they eat the most meat, that's where they have the most heart
30:52attacks.
30:54I bet your heart is a needle thing.
30:56Oh, don't leave it out.
30:57I can't understand how I'm eating.
30:58Yes, I can't see that, Arthur.
31:07Here, did tell it, Seth.
31:08Scatter, right.
31:11It's the cholesterol, isn't it?
31:12What's that about?
31:14It's pita, Greek bread.
31:15These stupid bastards aren't supposed to deliver at lunchtime.
31:18Very tasty, isn't it?
31:21I tell this, chef.
31:26Someone lost a thumb.
31:27Terry!
31:33Terry!
31:34Terry!
31:35Terry!
31:36Terry!
31:36And those bastards who bring the bread.
31:45Look what they do.
31:53Nick, they took the key to the deep freeze.
31:56Yes, I had to give it or they hit me.
32:10That's diabolical.
32:13Oi!
32:14The keys are out front, says he's a butter elf inspector.
32:17Anything the matter?
32:20Oh, my good God.
32:24We've received a complaint.
32:27Who made it his complaint?
32:28I'm not at liberty to divulge that.
32:30These things are dealt with in the strictest confidence.
32:32Yeah, I'll just have a word with this gentleman, Nick.
32:34I'm sorry, but Mrs. Costas isn't here at the moment.
32:40I can examine the premises regardless of who is present.
32:43Oh, yes, of course, of course, I understand that.
32:44Do sit down.
32:45Only, you see, I'm in the catering trade in a way,
32:48and I wondered if you could just clear up one or two points for me.
32:51Hey, get done with this.
33:01Do me a favor.
33:03He's coming.
33:04You must, you must.
33:21This floor looks damp.
33:23Oh, an accident.
33:24Some cooking of oil was spilled.
33:27Hmm.
33:33What's going on here?
33:35Spot check, Mrs. Costas.
33:37This in Benny?
33:38Huh?
33:40I don't understand this, sir.
33:41We've never had a complaint before.
33:43Nothing to be ashamed of.
33:46Actually, I'd hate to have to close you down.
33:49Do you mind?
33:51Oh, I'm sorry, sorry.
33:55Hello, what's this?
34:00It's a ladle.
34:03Funny place to keep a ladle.
34:06Well?
34:10Well, that settles it.
34:11I must talk to Omar.
34:13Try to come to some agreement.
34:14Now, hang about, Christina.
34:15Look, like you said,
34:17just because your old man steps off the...
34:19passes away,
34:20it don't mean Omar can come in here
34:22and start playing tunes on your till.
34:26Well...
34:26I haven't been entirely honest with you.
34:31You see...
34:32the truth is, Omar built up this restaurant with my husband.
34:39They shared the work, the responsibility equally.
34:43When my husband died,
34:45it turned out that the restaurant was legally mine.
34:49Omar has as much right to it as I have,
34:51if not more.
34:52I was persuaded.
34:54I was persuaded.
34:56Johnny?
34:58Yes.
35:00He was a waiter here.
35:03I was...
35:04Johnny saw a great opportunity, I suppose.
35:10Right, little gold digger.
35:13Yeah, but when you asked Omar to go,
35:14did he just leave?
35:15He went on holiday.
35:18We changed the locks,
35:19the staff,
35:20the menu.
35:21Johnny would have nothing Turkish on the menu.
35:25Omar had some savings.
35:27He bought a run-down cafe.
35:28Whatever you may think of him,
35:31he is not an aggressive man.
35:34He didn't do a bad impersonation.
35:36How's rats?
35:37Oh, makes you want to turn vegetarian, doesn't it?
35:41Look, now I have made my decision,
35:42I won't need Terry anymore.
35:44Perhaps we can discuss money now, yes?
35:45Good idea.
35:46Yeah, Terry, go and look after the van, will you?
35:48No, hold on, I thought...
35:49Now, come on, come on, it's on a double yellow.
35:51Money down the drain.
35:52Come on, come on.
35:58Would 150 pounds be reasonable?
36:05Christina, please, not for me.
36:08But I suppose, Terry.
36:13Johnny, he won't give you any aggravation, will he?
36:15Oh, no.
36:16Once he hears that I've made it up with Omar,
36:18he'll be off, don't worry.
36:20I can handle Johnny now.
36:22So?
36:23I suppose your opinion of me now
36:25is not what it was.
36:26On the contrary, Christina.
36:29You are my flavor of the month.
36:44Yes?
36:45This is your friend speaking.
36:47Please.
36:49Please, leave me alone.
36:50Listen to me.
36:52I spoke to him again.
36:53I asked him what he would do
36:55if a son of the man he killed
36:56came to him with a gun.
36:59It would never happen, he said.
37:01They were not a family of honor.
37:03You must not say those things.
37:05It's not true.
37:07They were not a family of honor.
37:09I show him who is family of honor.
37:14Arthur?
37:16Terry?
37:16You know, one day,
37:28just once,
37:31I'd like to get my wages
37:33without having to ask for them.
37:36Sorry, Terry.
37:38Completely slipped my mind.
37:40There you go.
37:42Half a ton.
37:43Fifty?
37:44Very tight-fisted, that Christina.
37:47Anyway, that's more than you get normally
37:48in a place like that,
37:49including tips.
37:51Same again.
37:53Why not, Dave?
37:54Terry's getting them in.
37:54He's just been paid.
37:56Oh, no.
37:56Friendly yours, aren't they?
37:58Oh, thank God you're here.
38:00Christina, you're just in time.
38:01Chair, chair, chair, chair.
38:03Terry's getting them in.
38:04Drink for the lady.
38:05Campari soda, no ice.
38:06No, thank you.
38:07You sure?
38:07It's Charlie.
38:09I know.
38:10He wants a lift to the airport.
38:12I'm thinking of charging that geezer petrol money.
38:14He is not at his hotel.
38:16His luggage is gone.
38:16He's checked out.
38:18Well, maybe he decided he'd want to have a look at Big Ben.
38:21Oh, Wimbledon dog track.
38:23He promised me he would not leave the hotel.
38:26He knows the time of the flights and everything.
38:29You think he's up to the ritual murder, Lark, again?
38:31Well, at least he ain't told up.
38:33He's got a gun.
38:35Well, that is the other thing.
38:37Yeah.
38:38I hid the gun at the restaurant.
38:40Now it's gone.
38:42The only other person who knew where it was was Johnny.
38:47Now, he's probably taking it to show it in front of his mates.
38:51You sure you don't want a drink?
38:52No, thank you.
38:54When Charlie hijacked us, he was all for going up the Hornsey Road.
38:58Well, we could go up there and have a look, Christina, if you like, but it's a very long road.
39:01The Hornsey Road, that's where Omar's place is.
39:08Just a thought.
39:10Yeah, and Charlie did say that the geezer who gave him the nod knew all about his brother being shot.
39:15Right.
39:16So Johnny set Omar up for topping Charlie's brother.
39:19Dead handy for Johnny.
39:20No more Omar, no more half-shares in restaurants.
39:23Oh, that's incredible.
39:26It's the way our DVS minds work, I'm afraid.
39:29What's the name of Omar's place?
39:31The Sultan Selim.
39:32You take Terry up there in your motor.
39:34I'll follow in the van.
39:35Ponzi Road, I'll tell you when.
39:56Ponzi Road, I'll tell you when.
39:57You must be looking forward to this.
40:04I'm not killing this man for my own pleasure.
40:07Of course not.
40:10You're doing your duty.
40:11What's up?
40:23Look, if Charlie's done anything silly, keep well out of it.
40:26OK.
40:28Oh, er...
40:29Arthur.
40:30Yeah?
40:31Watch yourself.
40:33The clutch is a bit sharpish, you know.
40:34Why don't you teach your grandmother?
40:36What about you?
40:55You're doing this?
40:59I don't know.
