00:00How much is over there?
00:17435, Governor.
00:19435, eh?
00:21Right down to the last quarter of a mile.
00:25There we are.
00:27No, no, no, my son, you keep that.
00:29You deserve it.
00:31A nice tour we had all around London.
00:47Arthur.
00:48What's that?
00:50Arthur.
00:54Arthur.
00:55Who's that?
00:59It's Billy, Arthur.
01:02Billy!
01:04What are you doing here?
01:06Lurking?
01:07Spot a lurking?
01:09You all right, Bill?
01:10Oh, dear.
01:11Oh, dear.
01:12What have you done?
01:13I need help, Arthur.
01:15Come inside, we'll have a nice drink.
01:17No, I want a lift, Arthur.
01:18Can you drive me somewhere?
01:20Well, in my state, I'm boozed.
01:22I've been to a function.
01:24Some of the chaps from the lodge.
01:26Come inside and tell me all about it.
01:28I need a lift now, Arthur.
01:30I've done my leg in, you see.
01:32Oh.
01:33Are we friends, Billy?
01:34Are we mates?
01:35You will get a lift, my son.
01:37You will get a ride to the ends of the earth.
01:40Lean on me.
01:41I think it's really clever you being into yoga and everything.
01:55Yes.
01:56Right.
01:57Hey, have you got lodgers?
01:59Hey?
02:00Is there someone out there?
02:03Terry.
02:04Open up.
02:07Open up, Terry.
02:10Shh, Bill.
02:12I'm asleep.
02:14Very important.
02:18Terry.
02:21Open up.
02:24Oh, what have you come as?
02:28I'm sorry, Arthur.
02:29Listen, mate.
02:30He's got his Kung Fu gear on.
02:31I've got something else on in there, all right?
02:32Yeah, look.
02:33You know Billy Gilpin, don't you?
02:34Well, Billy needs a favour.
02:35Yeah, well, let's come in.
02:36Come on, Bill.
02:37Come in.
02:38Well, go over there, then.
02:39Over here, Bill.
02:40Shut up.
02:41Keep your doors down.
02:44You want a drink, Billy?
02:45Ah, no, thanks.
02:46I'll have that.
02:47Now, look, look, look.
02:48I promised, Billy.
02:49I said if there's one fella who will not let you down...
02:52I've got a bird in there.
02:53I will explain it to her.
02:54You won't.
02:55It's taken me three hours to get her there.
02:57You think I can't charm her into staying another three hours?
03:00Look, Terry, I'm sorry, but I really need this favour.
03:02Terry, a friend, Terry.
03:04Good night.
03:05Your charm must have penetrated through the bleeding wall.
03:14Not too fast, eh?
03:15We don't want to get a pull.
03:17You're right there, squire.
03:19I ain't been road taxed for months.
03:21You think I want some music?
03:22No, quite honestly.
03:23I like that one, er...
03:24Friends.
03:25Because you've got to have friends.
03:26Old, er...
03:27Klingman and Linnard.
03:28What?
03:29They said it.
03:30I mean, er...
03:31The bird sings it, but it's, er...
03:32Old Klingman and Linnard wrote it down.
03:34I won't forget this.
03:35The way I see it, a friend is a guy, you can look him up in the middle of the night and
03:47he oil puked.
03:48No questions, nothing.
03:51See?
03:52You haven't asked, have you?
03:53Ask what?
03:54How come pretty Billy's got a bruise on his face and a bad leg?
03:57How come he wants a lift in the middle of the night?
03:58I don't want to know.
04:00Well, that's good.
04:01We'll just give a hand too.
04:02I won't forget this.
04:03The way I see it...
04:04a friend is a guy, you can look him up in the middle of the night, and he oil puked.
04:06No questions, nothing.
04:07See?
04:08You haven't asked, have you?
04:09Ask what?
04:10How come pretty Billy's got a bruise on his face and a bad leg?
04:13How come he wants a lift in the middle of the night?
04:16I don't want to know.
04:19Well, that's good.
04:20good. Anyway, I've given Nata an address. You'll see you're well looked after. I thought
04:29it was all down to friendship. People I've been with you see, they don't understand that
04:35sort of thing. Slags. And the filth. No way are they going to believe my story. And I
04:46don't want to hear it, Billy.
04:50Me, I'm a champagne man. I just love that old bubbly. Up, up and away. But then I get
05:04these downers, see. I'm really down. So they put me on these tablets. Suppose they think
05:17I, uh, might top myself.
05:36Nearly always cracking jokes, me. You are as Gardner. Tell you what, we meet up again and
05:43we'll, uh, split a bottle of shabbat's, right? Yeah, right. How are you going to book in
05:52here without any bags or anything?
05:54Guy's a friend. No friends, Terry. You ain't ain't got a life.
05:59Oh.
06:01Oh.
06:03I don't know.
06:33Terence McCann.
06:45I'd never have guessed without seeing that.
06:47Yeah, you must have seen quite a few in your time.
06:49No. It's the Marks and Spencer executive line suit that does it.
06:53You've got no right breaking in here.
06:55Breaking in?
06:56We were kindly allowed access by your associate.
06:59I was having a kit.
07:01Shall we take a ride down the road?
07:02What if I say no?
07:03That would be silly, really.
07:05Because all we want to do is have a talk with you.
07:08Thanks, Arthur.
07:12Wherever I go, Terry, I see dirt.
07:17Wherever I listen, I hear lies.
07:21I've always had a kind of faith in you.
07:23No trouble for five years now.
07:25I thought you were a walking testimony to the reformative powers of the British penal system.
07:33And then, suddenly, you're running a minicab service for nasty villains like Billy Gilpin.
07:40I gave him a lift.
07:42I gave him a lift.
07:43That's no crime, is it?
07:44It depends.
07:45I mean, say two scoundrels walk out of a shop with a string of pearls that doesn't belong to them and somebody gives them a lift.
07:52That's a crime, isn't it?
07:53Eh?
07:54Yes.
07:55And what about attempted murder?
08:01Is that a crime in your book?
08:04Or aiding and abetting the escape of a man wanted for attempted murder?
08:07I don't know what he did.
08:15I just told you.
08:20Yeah, well, he never mentioned it to me.
08:22What did he talk about, then?
08:25Friends.
08:27Like who?
08:29Well, uh, Klingman and Linhart or something.
08:33Who are they?
08:34They wrote a song, apparently.
08:36Are you trying to be funny?
08:38No, that's what we talked about.
08:40And Lord Ingrave.
08:43What's that, a boozer?
08:44He may be, for all I know.
08:47It's also the name of the man that Billy tried to murder.
08:51Well, if he did, he never mentioned it to me.
08:54Listen, Terry.
08:56I'm not asking you to be super gross.
08:59I am advising a slightly more cooperative attitude.
09:02I mean, attempted murder on my patch, and I get somebody, either the guy who did it, or the guy who helped him to get away.
09:11Am I coming through loud and clear?
09:22I've got the top one, have I?
09:23Looks like it, Terry.
09:25It's OK by me.
09:26I've got plenty of practice.
09:28I've just done a five in Durham.
09:30Only out two weeks.
09:32Bastards down here, they don't give you a chance.
09:34Attempted robbery, they said.
09:35Black and blue all over, they give me a right kicking on the way in.
09:39Just to stuff them.
09:40I can't say stuff them.
09:43What, are you in for yourself?
09:45Not a lot.
09:48I've been everywhere myself.
09:50Maidenhead, Paul.
09:52I've even been up in Peterhead.
09:54I've done pottery and carpet weaving up there.
09:56And they niche you for it?
09:58No, inside.
10:00Occupational therapy.
10:03Bloody cold up there, you know.
10:05You don't say much, do you?
10:10Don't get a lot of chance with you.
10:13Don't mind me.
10:14I'm an outgoing sort of fella.
10:15I like getting on with people and that.
10:17I'll suss that.
10:19Oh, straight, I am.
10:22But like you, you seem worried.
10:26You know, depressed.
10:29First time in, is it?
10:32Don't worry.
10:33Get it off me chest.
10:34Yeah, why not?
10:35Best way.
10:37What'll they call you?
10:40They call me Colin.
10:41Big call, usually.
10:43Yeah, I know you.
10:44You do?
10:45You've heard of me?
10:45Oh, yeah, yeah.
10:47Probably end up my best pal, won't you?
10:50Then in a fit of depression and remorse,
10:51I'll tell you my life story,
10:53what I've done, how I did it.
10:54And the next time I'll see you,
10:56I'll be in the witness box swearing my life away.
10:59Hey, you've got it all wrong.
11:02I just want to be your friend.
11:03Great.
11:04But I've had enough of friends for today.
11:06OK.
11:07OK.
11:07OK.
11:07OK.
11:07OK.
11:07OK.
11:07OK.
11:08OK.
11:09Let's go.
11:39Terry, don't go nipping off to me, okay? We may want you in again.
11:53You got me to thank for getting you out of there. I got you to thank for getting me in there.
11:57Nice, ain't it? Look, me walking around dressed like this at this time of day.
12:00Don't worry. All your friends will think you've been to a tailor's for a fitting.
12:04Fit up, more likely.
12:06When I think, and the dinners I've been to with some of those people, D.I.O. should be nameless.
12:11I got him a deep freeze, giveaway price.
12:13Steel.
12:15Well, it was, wasn't it?
12:16Beside the point.
12:18They're not only getting younger, they're getting stroppier.
12:21Taxi!
12:24They're just as bad.
12:26Not wearing a yashmack, they don't want to know.
12:27So what about Billy?
12:31Well, you can never tell with him. He might be doing a bit of cross-channel swimming.
12:34In the motor, he was talking about topping himself.
12:37Well, I hope he makes a phone call about that dough before he does it.
12:39Oh, you're charming, aren't you? I thought he was a mate of yours.
12:42So, I'll cry a little.
12:43But I still want the dough.
12:46Quick sauna, change of attire, and we'll nip over to Lady Ingraves.
12:49Who?
12:50Lady Anna Claire Ingrave.
12:52Who is?
12:53Who is?
12:54The wife of the geezer Billy tried to murder, right?
12:57That is our personal, private business.
12:59But our wages, that's something else, isn't it?
13:02Taxi!
13:13Hello, I'll see you later.
13:14Yeah.
13:19It wouldn't be Terence McCann, would it?
13:39Don't do it, Rana. We're not old, Bill.
13:42Hard to tell these days.
13:45No aggravation. Someone will talk to you.
13:47Same pattern, I know. That's what they said. Kept me in for bleeding hours.
13:51Bobby Altman gets to the point much quicker.
13:54Who?
13:55A good friend of Billy Gilpin.
13:58I knew that word had come into it somewhere.
14:00Eh?
14:01Friends. I mean, Billy.
14:03Very into friends.
14:04A good friend of mine.
14:22How much has he done?
14:46On his fourth mile.
14:52Do a bit of jogging, do you, Terry?
14:59Now and again.
15:00Squash? Tennis? Badminton?
15:03No.

25:54I have nothing to say to you.
25:56Yeah, well, I've got a few things to say to you.
25:58Please leave me alone.
25:59You haven't been exactly straight...
26:00If you don't go, I shall call the police.
26:03Oh, yeah?
26:04And what will you tell them?
26:05All about pretty Billy?
26:07Your friend, Bobby Altman?
26:09How you just paid Arthur and me off?
26:11What exactly do you want?
26:15Well, how about a little drink for a start, eh?
26:19Thank you, Carlos.
26:39It's good, honestly.
26:42Shouldn't it have some custard on it?
26:43Terry, I think you're a little more sophisticated than that.
26:47Oh, yeah?
26:48Well, I'm just trying to think of a sophisticated way to say something else.
26:52Um, you are Billy's mistress, right?
26:56It's a very old-fashioned word.
26:59Yeah, I must have read it in a book.
27:01All right, then.
27:03You and Billy were having it off on the side.
27:04That better?
27:05Hmm.
27:06But Billy falls madly in love.
27:09He wants to take you away from the squalor you live in to the squalor he lives in.
27:13How am I doing?
27:15Fair.
27:16But being the little villain he is, he can't think of a nice way to do it.
27:20So he has a go at your old man.
27:22Not quite right.
27:24Well?
27:24My husband tried to murder Billy.
27:27What Billy did was in self-defence.
27:29Did you tell the law that?
27:32Would it help?
27:33Not many.
27:34It would help Arthur and me for a start, wouldn't it?
27:36Would they believe it?
27:38I mean, who would you believe, Terry?
27:40An hereditary peer of the realm, or a...
27:42Handsome little gangster from Canning Town, yeah.
27:44If you like.
27:46So while these two were fighting over your affections, what were you doing?
27:49Nothing much.
27:50What was the plan, then?
27:51You and Billy going to run away?
27:56Give us a lager.
27:59Well, were you?
28:02Maybe we were.
28:03I don't know.
28:04And that's why he nicked the money.
28:07What money?
28:09Come on, Duchess, don't give me that.
28:12Bobby Altman has lost 70 grand.
28:15Billy had it, Billy hid it.
28:17My guess is he thought that would be enough to keep you in the startle to which you're accustomed.
28:21What the hell does it matter to you, anyway?
28:23What does it matter?
28:25Altman thinks that Arthur is keeping the money.
28:28And if Altman doesn't get the money back, he'll kill Arthur.
28:31And as I'm supposed to look after Arthur, he'll probably have a pop at me and all.
28:35I thought that's what you were paid for.
28:38I wonder what Billy saw in you.
28:40Couldn't have been your heart of gold, could it?
28:43I think I'll go now.
28:44Hold on, Duchess.
28:45As everyone's so much into friendship and favours, maybe there's one you can do.
28:52Such as?
28:54Get your old man to tell the truth to the law.
28:56What do you want to tell the truth to the law?
28:57What do you want to tell the truth to the law?
28:58What do you want to tell the truth to the law?
28:59What do you want to tell the truth to the law?
29:00What do you want to tell the truth to the law?
29:01What do you want to tell the truth to the law?
29:02What do you want to tell the truth to the law?
29:03What do you want to tell the truth to the law?
29:04What do you want to tell the truth to the law?
29:05What do you want to tell the truth to the law?
29:06What do you want to tell the truth to the law?
29:07What do you want to tell the truth to the law?
29:08What do you want to tell the law?
29:09What do you want to tell the law?
29:10What do you want to tell the law?
29:11What do you want to tell the law?
29:12Come on, come on.
29:42Excuse me, what wall is Lord Ingrave in?
29:51That's the private wall, it's down the right.
29:54Okay, cheers.
30:17They won't let anyone else see him.
30:19Did you tell him about me and Arthur?
30:21Listen.
30:23Oh, what are you doing here?
30:26I'm a friend of the family, suddenly.
30:28Mr McCann wanted to see my husband.
30:31Did he?
30:32Very considerate of you, Terry.
30:33I believe he's making a bit of a recovery.
30:35He's much better, thank you.
30:37Good.
30:38In fact, good news all round.
30:41They just fished Billy Gilpin's body out of the sea.
30:46Somebody identified the body?
30:48Oh, yeah.
30:49His sister's just been down there.
30:51Tired carried him well out.
30:53Someone thought he'd hooked into a nice bit of Dover soul
30:55and comes up with Billy instead.
30:58He didn't seem too bad, considered him.
31:00Always was a good-looking boy.
31:01I was just going to let Lord Ingrave know, m'lady.
31:08Come on.
31:09If you'll pardon the expression, Terry,
31:12this sort of lets you off the hook, doesn't it?
31:24Do you believe him?
31:26Why not?
31:28Billy was a very good swimmer.
31:32He was going to set up a fake suicide, you mean?
31:35So all that stuff he gave me about depression and tablets
31:38and chopping himself was all a load of crap?
31:40I suppose so.
31:42You're just there to set me up as part of the great conspiracy.
31:45I didn't know.
31:46Well, hold on.
31:47What do you know?
31:49He was going to swim out to sea for about a mile.
31:52A friend was going to pick him up in a launch.
31:54They were going to land in Normandy.
31:55Another friend was going to drive him to Paris.
31:57It must be really great having all them friends, eh?
32:05Come on.
32:06Come on.
32:36I hope you're well-insured, Arthur. You've just done our nearside wing.
32:49And he didn't leave a message for me?
32:52No, no, that's all right, no.
32:54No, I'll hang round here. It'll probably show up.
32:57Yeah.
32:58Yeah, cheers.
32:59Hello.
33:04Excuse me, pal.
33:06Give us a gin and tonic, a large one, and a lager when you've got a minute, please.
33:14Oh, nice.
33:16You might have rung me.
33:18I meant to, honestly.
33:19What about some more eye?
33:21Yeah, any luck, I'll probably be out.
33:24Jane!
33:25Valerie!
33:25Put it on a slate, will you?
33:41Slice of lemon, all right?
33:44That's all they've got in the way of fruit.
33:47Fine.
33:47So this is it, eh?
33:51The natural habitat of Terry McCann.
33:54Yeah.
33:56I'm surprised Billy didn't bring you to places like this.
33:59He was a champagne man.
34:01Oh, that's right, yeah.
34:02He kept on telling me.
34:04But this is where he'd belong, though.
34:07I mean, what was he?
34:08A little thing.
34:11Now, you see that geezer at the bar?
34:13Oh, he's a thief.
34:15Good one, as it happens.
34:16Now, him.
34:17He'll steal and lie.
34:19But he would never land a friend in trouble.
34:21And you're one of the same species, are you?
34:24Except I don't steal.
34:26You beat people up for a living.
34:28Who told you that?
34:30Now, I escort drunks to the door.
34:33Sometimes I look after people who can't look after themselves.
34:36But I never cause trouble.
34:38I try and stop it.
34:39And how do you recognise it?
34:42Well, that's not difficult after a while.
34:44You soon come to recognise whether it's just the booze talking.
34:47Geezers going on and on about how many fights they've had.
34:50Well, they're no threat at all.
34:51Then there's the other mob.
34:53Cold blue eyes, smart suits, think they should have been in Day of the Jackal.
34:57Well, they're terrific at shouting at birds in the typing pool.
35:00Now, in my game, you don't look for trouble.
35:02You just keep an eye out for the guys who are going to starve it.
35:05And you're always right.
35:07Right, me?
35:08No, you're kidding.
35:09Now, you see, there's one mob.
35:11Who you can never recognise.
35:13Nutsers.
35:14And what do they look like?
35:16Well, that's the trouble, you see.
35:17They look like anybody.
35:20They look like you, Duchess.
35:22They look like they're on the video, eh?
35:25They look like a little mob.
35:28Excuse me?
35:28Let's go.
35:58Hello, Bob. Bit of a misunderstanding, eh?
36:02Is there?
36:05You look older, Arthur.
36:07Well, time marches on and all that.
36:10You're looking well.
36:11I said not to hurt him.
36:13Well, he got leppy in the motor.
36:26I was expecting 70 grand.
36:28No, you got it all wrong, Bob.
36:30You see, look, all I did was...
36:31Yeah, yeah.
36:32I know, I know. I heard it all from Terry.
36:34Did he give you my message?
36:36Yeah.
36:37You thought a few nights at the hotel and then forget all about it.
36:40And then you heard that Billy really was dead.
36:42And you thought, hello, suddenly it's Christmas.
36:45I haven't heard nothing.
36:46Don't lie!
36:47I can stand a thief.
36:49I can't stand a liar.
36:52You haven't changed.
36:54You were too Bob in the old days.
36:55You're still too Bob.
36:57Actually, you've upset me.
37:01I'm sorry about that.
37:02I said no violence!
37:05Don't hurt him!
37:07See, now, I've got to calm down.
37:10Oh, well, I'm sorry about that.
37:12Shut up!
37:15Give him a camp bed and a Lila.
37:18We'll make an early start in the morning, Arthur.
37:20Bob?
37:28Bob?
37:31Bob?
37:45So you and your old man were the front for Altman, eh?
37:48Poncing all round Europe, selling off dodgy bearer bonds.
37:51More or less.
37:53God, dear, I bet Altman loved that.
37:55Well, of course he did.
37:57New money craves old respectability.
37:59Then why screw it all up?
38:01By falling for pretty Billy?
38:04He was very good company.
38:06Oh.
38:07That's what my mum said about our old Labrador.
38:11Then I'd probably have liked him.
38:13Yeah, you probably would.
38:15He was the right little scallywagon, all.
38:19What are you, Duchess?
38:21A villain's groupie?
38:23I loved Billy.
38:26Maybe you did.
38:29But he ain't coming back, is he?
38:31And he don't need the money anymore.
38:34And does Altman?
38:35Oh, not many.
38:37Listen, he needs it more than, well, what do you call it?
38:40The old respectability.
38:42He needs it enough, Duchess, to put you in a hospital bed next to your husband.
38:49If I tell him about you and Billy.
38:52And would you?
38:53Oh, yes.
38:55I've got a friend, too.
38:59Now, come on, Duchess.
39:01The money.
39:02The money.
39:02A bit warm in that cellar, was it, Arthur?
39:25No.
39:26No, it's OK.
39:27You look a mess.
39:31Get your clothes off.
39:33Eh?
39:34Undress.
39:36What for?
39:37Because I said so.
39:39Look, honest to God, you've got it all wrong.
39:41Go to my house, turn it upside down, you won't find any money there.
39:45Well, obviously, you'll find a bob or two, but you won't find your money.
39:47I believe you.
39:49Because you've hid it somewhere else.
39:51On my boy Terry's life.
39:53Clothes off.
39:53What are you going to do?
39:56Oh, I've got it.
39:59Arthur thinking it's torture.
40:01Strip off.
40:02Electrodes on the private parts.
40:05What do you think we are?
40:06Some nasty little South London team?
40:08This is happy hamstead, Arthur.
40:11London's lungs, somebody called it.
40:13That's why I live up here.
40:14Because it's healthy.
40:16Give me my skier.
40:17Go for a run.
40:25You're joking.
40:26I don't run.
40:28We're about the same age, aren't we?
40:31And I'm in perfect condition.
40:34That's you, Arthur.
40:35Bit flabby.
40:37Too much of the old vodka.
40:39Still smoke.
40:41Late nights, chasing after young birds.
40:42You could lose two stone.
40:46Don't bother.
40:47Change your whole life.
40:48Change your outlook.
40:49Look.
40:49Don't bother.
41:05I don't know.
41:35You know what the run does for you?
41:39Clears the mind.
41:41Business problems, whoosh, float away.
41:43And with the mind clear, helps the memory.
41:47Things come back to you.
41:49You'd be surprised.
41:52See, I've got a Cartier watch.
41:55I couldn't find it.
41:56I've shouted at the dear wife.
41:58I've even come to the point where I thought the lads had nicked it, or the au pair.
42:02I went out for a run, and what happened?
42:05Suddenly, I remembered.
42:06I'd left it in the tweed jacket.
42:08In the tweed jacket.
42:10See, that's what a run did for me.
42:12Found me a couple of grand's worth of watch.
42:16There you are.
42:17See, you look fitter already.
42:19See, you look fitter already.
42:20See?
42:21I see.
42:22See?
42:22See?
42:23See?
42:24See?
42:25See?
42:26See?
42:27See?
42:27See?
42:28See?
42:28See?
42:29Tell you what, Arthur, you could do a runner.
42:55Look at this jogging. It's not my game.
42:57Of course it is. On your mark, Arthur. Guess it. Go!
43:20See, it's quite easy, isn't it?
43:22Yeah. OK.
43:27Come on, Arthur. A lot of doctors don't approve of this,
43:34and I feel out of condition. Never too much too soon.
43:38Some fellas, you know, their eggs go first like old fighters.
43:41Yeah, then their lungs begin to tighten.
43:45Hey. Bobby's taking him over the cross-country bit now.
43:52I suppose you could say he's gonna run him into the ground.
43:55Yeah. We better turn around.
43:56Yeah. We better turn around.
44:03Hey.
44:10Bobby's taking him over the cross-country bit now.
44:13I suppose you could say he's gonna run him into the ground.
44:16Yeah. We better turn around.
44:20He's bleeding, McCain!
44:22He's bleeding, McCain!
44:35I'm bleeding, McCain!
44:36I'm bleeding, McCain!
44:37He's bleeding, McCain!
44:42Have him off the road.
45:12Read the statistics. Heart attacks. You drop dead, Arthur. What do they find? Just another old jogger.
45:36The money, Arthur.
45:38Then run. You've been abusing your body.
45:44You're killing me. And I don't know.
45:50Nice, big, deep breaths. And you can tell me.
46:08See? Great what little exercise can do for you, isn't it?
46:16Isn't it just?
46:18You're going to count it, then?
46:30No, Terry, no. No, you've got an honest face.
46:36Leave it out, Stuart. He'll slaughter you.
46:42Come on, mate. You're all right. Come on. Up you get. Come on.
46:48There you go. That's it.
46:52Terry, I'm a goner. The watch. You have the watch. Look after her indoors. Don't tell her too much.
47:08Come on, you're all right. Get your feet on your plates. Come on, that's it. Good deep breaths. Come on, come on.
47:24Uh-oh. At the minute I'm going. Oh, I need the kiss of life.
47:34Oh, I'm sorry about that, mate. Listen, have a cigar, eh?
47:38Oh, come on. Oh, Terry. You're a pal.
47:46Yeah, mate. Where would we be without them, eh? Come on, come on.
