00:30To be continued...
01:00You will do this for me, please?
01:05You will?
01:06Okay.
01:10Someone hasn't turned up.
01:12What, he's bright?
01:13So I said I'd fill in.
01:14Huh?
01:16That's a witness, you dummy.
01:17You can't get married without witnesses.
01:19Why not?
01:21So you can't make out later that it never happened.
01:24That's why not.
01:26As soon as he's the place ahead of you in the queue,
01:28the sooner he gets the treatment,
01:29the sooner they'll be able to do you.
01:31You need to make it sound like a case for dry rot.
01:34Excuse me, please.
01:35I'll be with you in a minute.
01:36You should come and watch.
01:39All right, ma'am.
01:39And then you'll know what you're letting yourself in for.
01:41I know what I'm letting myself in for.
01:44Looks like Samantha's tumbled it and all, didn't it?
01:46This is just late.
01:47She's always late.
01:48Beefing already, eh?
01:50It'll be my wife doesn't understand me
01:52before you've even got the ring on her finger.
01:53The ring?
01:54You got the ring?
01:54Of course I have.
01:55Very close at hand.
01:58Look, you're meant to be on my side today, Fred.
02:00That's what the best man's for.
02:02Best man?
02:04Yeah, well, you know, equality and that.
02:06Well, she's a mate.
02:07I know the best, so...
02:08And not the best.
02:09Hello, Harry.
02:11I call upon these persons here present to witness...
02:14I call upon those persons here present to witness...
02:18That I, Peter Hendrik van der Velde...
02:21That I, Peter Hendrik van der Velde...
02:23Do take thee, Min Kuang Yu Lin Tai...
02:27Do take thee, Min Kuang Yu Lin Tai...
02:32To be my lawful wedded wife.
02:34To be my lawful wedded wife.
02:38Please say after me...
02:40I do solemnly declare...
02:42I do solemnly declare...
02:43Nice and early.
02:51I'm not queuing up for this lot, right?
02:53I should have said yes to you.
02:55Oh, it's so romantic.
02:58This is Fred, my best mate.
03:00Hi.
03:01Hello.
03:01No photographs?
03:04You must be crazy!
03:15Fred!
03:16Do you take a photograph?
03:25Yeah.
03:25I would like for a souvenir.
03:28Sure.
03:33Left there standing, he was.
03:35And there's me, all set to put my money on...
03:36Mike and Samantha having the quickest marriage on record.
03:38I mean, Mike never looked at Samantha during the ceremony the way the Dutch boy did.
03:44Mind you, one look at Samantha and you can understand why.
03:47But the Dutch boy...
03:49Oh, he's lovely.
03:51It just goes to show, doesn't it, Maggie, that not everyone is in it for tax benefits.
03:56Although, when she ran off, he made no move to go after her.
04:01Although someone did.
04:02A guy in a red jag.
04:04Peter just stood there.
04:05Yeah, Peter, is it?
04:06Peter Hendrick Vanderveld, aged 23.
04:08He's only been here two weeks.
04:10And her name's Ming Kuong Yu Lin Tai.
04:1425.
04:15Chinese.
04:15Born in Hong Kong.
04:17You read the marriage certificate?
04:18I've even signed it, didn't I?
04:20I was a witness.
04:23Responsibility, Maggie.
04:26It's got the old pre-marital, was it?
04:28Please.
04:29Wedding nerves.
04:30I've known some brides all dolled up in the back of the bridal car.
04:34They take one look at that place and drive straight on.
04:37Only around the block, of course.
04:39And after the wedding, you see that too?
04:41Well, I suppose for some, I don't know what's hit them till this happened.
04:47Got it all sorted out in the old bridal chamber, eh?
04:50What is the damage to the photograph?
04:52Damage.
04:54I pay.
04:56Oh, I'm with you, yeah.
04:57What's the damage?
04:58Yeah, well, it's £2.50 for the pair.
05:02I could have had a really nice portfolio on you two.
05:05By the looks of her, you're a very lucky fellow.
05:08I will be when I find her.
05:10What, are you saying you've not found her yet?
05:12Could you direct me to 345 B Station Road?
05:15Only I know this town not so very well.
05:17Well, you should have gone round there straight away, mate, if that's where she hangs out.
05:19She's run off back to mum. You never went after her.
05:21Well, if I knew where she lives, then of course I would have gone there first.
05:25But Mr. Al Jarvis lives there?
05:27I've been given his name as a private investigator.
05:31Do you think he will help me find her?
05:33Well, you look.
05:34At a price.
05:35Any price. I'm not so skint.
05:37It's worth finding, isn't she?
05:42My wife.
05:44How did you know you were staying here, then?
05:46Oh, it's one of the marriage certificate we both signed yesterday.
05:49Resident here for 15 days, it said.
05:51He's Dutch. Not that he'd have guessed it.
05:54Nice lad like that.
05:56He looked English enough to me.
05:57I don't usually take in, foreigners.
06:01Yes?
06:02Where the hell are you?
06:03I'm on a case. I'll call you back in five minutes.
06:06What case?
06:07All right, I'll call you back in two.
06:13My radio.
06:15They're playing my tune.
06:17Did you meet the girl while he was staying here?
06:19Never said I was on her before yesterday morning.
06:21When he asked you to be a witness at the wedding?
06:24Mind you, he told me he was going to get married almost as soon as he got here.
06:28As I said to him, why don't you spend your honeymoon night here?
06:32I mean, it's a lovely double bed he's got in that room up there.
06:35Or was, until my Sydney went to roving.
06:38Until then...
06:38Well, we're all at it these days, aren't we?
06:42Not in this house, we're not.
06:44So, you don't know where they've been meeting then?
06:46Well, I asked him that last night when she ran off.
06:49At her place, I thought.
06:51But he didn't seem to know where that was.
06:54Bertine Rogers-Dravenu was the address she gave.
06:57Did he try looking for her there yesterday?
06:59Guess what?
07:00Don't tell me.
07:01I've checked it out.
07:02You'd think a road the length of Rochester Avenue would have a number 13, wouldn't you?
07:11Very superstitious at number 12A.
07:15Anyway, I've put him in touch with a detective, I know.
07:19Well, not know exactly.
07:21I mean, one doesn't, does one?
07:23Oh, detectives.
07:26You ever met any?
07:27Private eyes, I call them.
07:30Peeping Toms is what I say.
07:33Anyway, Al Jarvis is a cut above some people I know.
07:36Station Road, isn't he?
07:38Is that where Peter's gone now?
07:40You know, your motor couldn't have to do with a clean.
07:43Tell him to call me.
07:45Frederica Smith.
07:47Eyes.
07:50So, we could have a client if I get there soon enough.
07:54There's enough work here in the office, Fred.
07:56Yesterday's as well as today's.
07:58You know me and paperwork, Maggie.
08:00We just don't hit it off.
08:01It goes back to potty training.
08:03You ask my mum.
08:05Fred, this is Pree.
08:07Who is this client, anyway?
08:08Dutchman.
08:09I've got to help him find his wife.
08:10He's asked you to.
08:12No, but he will when I find him.
08:14So, where did you think she was living?
08:16There.
08:1713 Rochester Avenue.
08:18You never met her there before?
08:19I never met her at all until yesterday morning.
08:23When you married her?
08:24So she could become Dutch citizen.
08:26Are you married?
08:27Once was enough for me.
08:29For me too, I am sure.
08:30Who put you up to this?
08:32Put up.
08:33What is put up?
08:34Who got you to marry the Chinese bird?
08:36Look, I met in Germany.
08:38He paid me 300 pounds so that she could marry me and then go to Holland with the wedding
08:41certificate.
08:42Maybe you should look for her there, then.
08:44But how to find my wife in the hall of Holland?
08:46Well, it's not so big.
08:47You can see the whole country from the air.
08:50Probably find her with a telescope.
08:52The Chinese stick out a bit, won't they?
08:55Lin Pong Yu Lin Tai.
08:57Look, I can put you in touch with a very good agent in Rotterdam.
09:01Why don't you get back home to your village straight away and I'll have him call you there?
09:04But in this town, surely there must be someone who can tell me where she's gone.
09:08This is where she must inhabit or why was I sent here to marry her?
09:10Why do you want to find her anyway?
09:12You've been paid, haven't you?
09:12She is my wife.
09:14Who presumably is already making arrangements to divorce you.
09:16That is just why I need to find her very quick.
09:18To persuade her not to.
09:20You think you'll succeed?
09:22I let her go?
09:23I would not be such a fool.
09:29She is fantastic, no?
09:30Yeah, but does she think you are?
09:32I mean, if you find her, do you really imagine she's going to take you in her arms till death
09:35us do pass?
09:36I am sure.
09:37Once she gets to know me.
09:38She took one look at you and ran off.
09:40Come on, mate, you did it for money.
09:41That's all there was in it for you and you know it.
09:48Peter!
10:07Peter!
10:17Peter!
10:19Peter!
10:37Peter!
11:06how much three ninety nine a pair they are rubbish so they're cheap I give you

11:49that Dutch boy get him out of my hair he wants to find his lady love my can't
11:54help him should he go to the police he didn't seem too keen on that I should
11:58think not I didn't think you think so that's why I sent him to you in the
12:02first place okay I don't know what's going on but when you came to me saying
12:08there'd be a Dutch boy coming here wanting lodgings for a fortnight I didn't ask any
12:12questions did I because if anyone came questioning me later I would know
12:16nothing just tell him to get off on his travels and forget all about it someone
12:20else was offering to help him this morning she left her card as they call themselves
12:27I was in Germany and I met this English lorry driver who gave me a lift
12:37Bill was his name and he knew this Chinese girl who wanted to get to Holland only she
12:45had no papers so he asked me to marry her okay I said anything to oblige for a lift
12:51day yeah yeah and 300 pounds by the time I'd raised him to his limit she would
12:57give me a divorce he said and besides I never been to England before I went to
13:03take a look at your Buckingham Palace the other day I've seen better you know how
13:09this works looks like you do it's not empty yet I generally find a weak spot once
13:15I really get to know them
13:33you're on your way home when you met Bill and the colder feet the nearer I got there I've not seen my family in two years I write
13:45well sometimes hey I think my mother would have a good laugh if she knew I was
13:52married especially to a girl you met the first time at the registry office I'm sure
13:56she'd fall about anyone at home just me where's Bill heading up north he phoned from
14:04Chatham off an hour ago he got held up by customs at Dover he said won't be back till
14:09the morning now well I've got to see him stay the night then he should be here by
14:14eight not too sure how pleased he'd be to find you here at that time still why do

14:54she could have sped me half an hour so maybe I could buy her a beer I didn't want to spend a few days with her
15:01oh but you're right Mr. Jarvis said the same she's not going to be interested in me even if I did find her so I will make again for India and try to forget her

15:46so am I
15:47to a Dutchman who's crazy about her
15:50why don't you go home to mum
15:55because in Holland I would be thinking of her every minute of the day
15:58I wonder who she is
16:00that is something I will always wonder
16:02even if I'm never to see her again
16:05I would like to know something about her

16:22like tomorrow
16:23like tomorrow
16:24like tomorrow
16:25like tomorrow
16:29you
16:42so
16:47Yes sir may we help you? I have an appointment. Of course it's Mr. Broomyard isn't it? Broomyard
17:09and I'm surprised you've forgotten me considering it's only a month ago since
17:13we met. Oh would you come this way? Not a very promising start to the investigation my
17:17board of directors is thinking of entrusting you in. We do have quite a
17:21number of clients Mr. Broomyard. Who look like me. Into industrials are you?
17:28Overseas companies scared some greedy little English temp is selling their
17:32secrets for the price of a jet set holiday. Still that's where the money lies these
17:37days you can stick your matrimonial for. Anyway I won't keep you. Just popped in
17:43to pay my respects. Three attractive girls setting up in the business. That's just
17:48the kind of image we want to see in the profession these days. By the way do you
17:54maintain your own equipment? No we have to without a man about the house. Not just a
18:00pretty face eh? Still if your telex plays up or any of the electronic wizardry we
18:07all depend on these days I know a fella locally who's very reliable and discreet.
18:12Does that ever let you down? We generally dial false if the phone's out of order.
18:19Oh well glad to see you're making a go of it. I'll do what I can to put business your way.
18:24Oh Fred this is Mr Jarvis. He's been giving us some tips. Fred? Short for Frederica. My mother
18:32had hoped for another boy. Good news for the lad she didn't have one I reckon.
18:36Oh well au revoir ladies and if you ever find yourselves in a tight spot you know
18:42where to turn. So kind. My pleasure. Mutual aid is what it's all about and if we ever
18:48happen to be involved in the same case I hope we'll cooperate right? See you around Fred.
18:53You too inspector. Well what'd you expect? He went caught the other week trying to nail
19:01that copper. Anyway what's he come here for? As long as you keep him out of there he might
19:08prove quite useful one day. That creep. There's certain things best left to a man you know.
19:13Like what? Like impersonating one if you ever need to. Frederica I've been taking a look at
19:22your expenses. It looks as though Earl Jarvis is looking at yours. His car's tucked away
19:30up the lane. He's hoping I haven't spotted it's his Jake. And never mind Mr Jarvis now.
19:36Well he's a villain. And he's scared we're on to him. For what? Fixing a marriage. So that some Chinese girl can get herself
19:44over to Holland as a Dutch citizen. It was his car that was parked outside the
19:48registry office when she ran off. And it was his car that followed her. Is this one
19:53for the police? In the interests of the taxpayer we should leave them something to do. Prudence has been
19:59telling me about your Dutchman. Have you got a proper contract with him? Not yet. Don't tell me
20:05you're looking for him in home office time just because you fancy him.
20:09Well he's quite fanciful.
20:13But as for looking for his bride he already signed up Jarvis.
20:19So you didn't get to him first after all.
20:21Well let's ask Fred. You have no evidence that Jarvis is up to no good.
20:26I'd probably resent you muscling in on his case. Who is this girl? Min Kuang Yulin Tai from Hong Kong.
20:34From Hong Kong? Hmm. I can tell you her father's name. That was on the marriage certificate as well.
20:41They all look alike to Westerners don't they? Dark hair, narrow eyes. Not to mention a touch of
20:47sulfur in the skin as distinct from the tar brush. Malaysian perhaps but um definitely not Chinese.
21:07Leaving. I decide to take your advice.
21:11Defensible lad. So I am off just as soon as I find out who she is.
21:15And I have someone else to help me find her. Huh. Miss Frederica Smith from Eyes.
21:19Well at least she does not want me off home until I find out who I am married to.
21:23I only want you off home because that's what I thought your wife was.
21:25Aren't you meant to drive on the left in this country?
21:28As a matter of fact she's in the south of France. Marseille.
21:38Oh certainly I remember her. She may not be Chinese after all.
21:43Ethnologist are you? I'm just a registrar. And they all look alike to me anyway.
21:49Orientals.
21:50Brides.
21:52She claims she was born in Hong Kong.
21:54Well she was born it's no concern of mine. Just as long as she's not been married before.
21:59They can be red, white and blue and wanted for murder. They have the same right to marry as you do.
22:03Dutch men.
22:04At least the Dutchman could speak good English. The last one to marry an oriental girl in here was
22:10German. And until I got an interpreter I don't think he had the foggiest notion what was going on.
22:17Do they often marry foreigners then?
22:18Is that a crime?
22:20Well it is to acquire foreign citizenship.
22:22As long as they believe at the time that their marriage is for life.
22:25I kind of doubt that.
22:27If I allowed myself such doubts Miss Smith my conscience would prevent me from marrying anyone
22:30at all.
22:32Now if you care to take a look at the current register you will find a
22:35various number of weddings lately between Chinese girls and either
22:39Dutchman or Germans.
22:42But if it leads to these girls getting out of the country frankly I'd have thought that was
22:46something to be encouraged. At least they're not marrying Englishmen.
22:53There aren't many savings director of Rotterdam.
22:56She could have gone from Dover to Ostendland.
22:57Yeah well she didn't.
22:59My agent over there picked her out soon enough.
23:01She was the only Chinese looking girl among the passengers.
23:04And she had no reason to deny she was Mrs. van der Velde once she got ashore.
23:08She's proud of her Dutch citizenship.
23:10How did you get in without a passport?
23:12She borrowed one from a French girl whose family came from Indochina.
23:17Well with that look you can't tell one from another if they're roughly the same age
23:20and you've only got a passport for her to go on.
23:23Anyway with French papers she could get to Marseilles which is where she wanted to go.
23:26Why not to Holland?
23:28Ask her.
23:30If you want her address it's on that pad over there.
23:32My colleague said she'd be pleased to talk to you if you insisted.
23:39She'll be on this number till late.
23:42You're not there?
23:42No.
23:43Well she can give it yourself.
23:44Uh, bonjour madame.
23:47Uh, pardonnez-moi, je veux parler aux madame van der Velde.
23:52So.
23:55So.
23:59Lynn?
24:01It is Peter.
24:03Your husband, remember?
24:05But what's the matter?
24:06You got your money.
24:07And you have your Dutch nationality.
24:09So we're both happy.
24:10Fantastic.
24:11Why are you in France?
24:13If it's the divorce that you're worried about.
24:15Divorce?
24:17Cannot we have some marriage too?
24:18It usually comes first.
24:19Where can I meet you?
24:23But I'm in France.
24:24Marseille.
24:25What is the address?
24:3015, rue de la Madeleine, Marseille.
24:36You think I made Paris this evening so I hitch a lift on the autolue tonight?
24:39Well, Adobe de Calais no problem.
24:41You'll probably get to Paris in time to get the overnight train.
24:45I'll be with you this time tomorrow, Min, okay?
24:47Fantastic.
24:50Listen.
24:52I love you.
25:01Hey.
25:02What do you think my mother would say if I walk in after two years with a Chinese wife?
25:06Get back to work.
25:16I've got a business to run.
25:19In my time?
25:23But why come here when it's really Holland or Germany that they're set on?
25:29Presumably because immigration control over here is just a bit more lax.
25:33If you're coming from the British colony, I imagine there are plenty of married Englishmen.
25:37Not on this list.
25:39Okay, I only checked with three registry offices and in all 15 cases,
25:43these Chinese girls have married either Germans or Dutchmen.
25:47And if Nigel's right, they may not even be Chinese.
25:51Min presented her birth certificate.
25:53The registrar told me.
25:55And if it's a forgery.
25:56I mean, why pretend to be someone who shouldn't be here at all?
26:00Ask Maggie.
26:01She's got a theory of her own about this.
26:03She's in the...
26:03She's got a theory of her own about this.
26:24Impersonation?
26:25Peter!
26:41She's in Marseille.
26:43Well, that's in France.
26:44You haven't been doing your chopping too, yeah?
26:47Mr Jarvis, he tracked her down for me.
26:49Looks like he has got good connections after all.
26:51He's having you on.
26:53Having me on what?
26:54He's conning you.
26:55Fooling you.
26:56But I just speak to her.
26:58She's expecting me there tomorrow morning.
27:00It is fantastic, yeah?
27:01Mr Jarvis has reserved me on the hover boat from Dover to Calais.
27:05So I will catch a bus to the Autobahn and then hitch a look down to the coast from there.
27:09How much is he charging you to find her?
27:12Six pounds and fifty pence.
27:15For phone calls.
27:16Plus VAT.
27:21He is making a lot out of you, isn't he?
27:29How do you know you spoke to her in Marseille?
27:32You think I did not?
27:34If you know where she really is, tell me.
27:37Because my bus leaves in 15 minutes and I have to be on it if I'm going to be in Dover by eight
27:41and Paris by midnight and also Marseille by tomorrow morning.
27:44I'm sure your wife wouldn't mind you being late.
27:47Yes, but you are not married to her, are you?
27:50You can afford to be wrong.
27:52I cannot.
27:54If I am being had on then I can always come back.
27:58Well cut your losses and take a slow boat to India.
28:16Yes?
28:18Fred Smith from Eyes.
28:22What do you want?
28:23We're in a tight spot.
28:35That's quite a list.
28:36That girl could be any one of them.
28:38How can she have a record?
28:41Even if she'd only been done for shoplifting she'd have found herself deported if she'd been here illegally.
28:45I don't think she is here illegally.
28:47So why this marriage charade?
28:49I'd really like pictures transmitted the whole list but they'll kick at the expense.
28:53You'd need my authority to get any one of them.
28:55That's why I sent for you Nigel.
28:57I'm not an errand boy Margaret.
28:59Yes, but doors do open for you don't they?
29:02I'll settle for the three whose last known addresses are in our area.
29:09If 15 room Madeline's just an hole in the wall or she hops it before he gets there,
29:14it's no skin off my nose.
29:16If we ever found ourselves working on the same case you said.
29:19The case is closed and I didn't need a computer to track her down with neither.
29:23Nor any of that expensive hardware which might explain that fancy aerial you've got on your roof.
29:28Just a good old blower.
29:30I've been at this game a little bit longer than you darling.
29:33There's no substitute for experience.
29:35You learned that.
29:36Why don't you want Peter to find her Mr Jarvis?
29:39Is she a friend of yours?
29:41They can't stick anything on her just for marrying him you know.
29:44Whatever her motives.
29:46Unless she wasn't who she said she was.
29:48She presented her birth certificate.
29:50How do you know?
29:52You have to.
29:53No you don't.
29:54Besides, what does a birth certificate prove?
29:57In every other country in Europe you have to have a passport or ID card to get married.
30:02A registrar told me that.
30:04A photograph to show you really are who you claim to be.
30:08In jolly old England you could use anyone's birth certificate.
30:12As long as you roughly fit the facts that are on it.
30:14Who would want to do that?
30:16Whoever you are, your birth's registered somewhere.
30:18But it explains why they come to England though, doesn't it?
30:21Not having a passport or ID card to get married anywhere else.
30:24Listen, I don't want to be inhospitable but I have a lot of work to do.
30:28Come to think of it, they don't even have to come to England.
30:33Just have their birth certificate sent.
30:36And Bill could do that.
30:38Bill?
30:39Then all he's got to do is, well they all look alike.
30:43Look, why don't you go and play detectives back at the ranch with the other lady's sleuths.
30:47I'm not sure I want him to find her now.
30:50And if you're mixed up in this, which I think you are, right up to your neck,
30:55I can understand why you don't.
30:56Whatever you're on about, I'm not bothered. Get it?
30:59I think you will be when he finds her. And so will he.
31:04He's married to a woman he's never set eyes on.
31:08Not even at the wedding.
31:09And I knew man.
31:12Come on.
31:18Come on.
31:24Come on?
31:35Come on.
31:36Excuse, please.
31:43Not heading for Dover.
31:45Bill!
31:46Well, that's great.
31:47Fantastic.
31:48Mr. Van Der Veld.
31:50On your way home, are you?
31:51I was looking out for you the other night.
31:53I thought you might be thumbing a lift back.
31:55Come on, let me take that.
31:56Not being, eh?
31:59It's a racket that's been used for refugees before.
32:02They somehow managed to get to Germany or Holland,
32:05where they're approached by an illicit organization
32:07that offers them German or Dutch citizenship
32:10in return for a thousand pounds
32:12and the loan of their birth certificate.
32:15This is then sent to some operator in England.
32:18Al Jarvis.
32:19He may be the link man here,
32:21but there are others scattered about the country.
32:26The link man's job is to find someone
32:29to impersonate the refugee.
32:31She then presents the birth certificate.
32:35and fixes up a wedding
32:37with a German or a Dutchman
32:39already recruited.
32:40By Bill.
32:43Whose passport details she's been supplied with.
32:46After the wedding...
32:47Off goes the marriage certificate
32:48to the woman abroad who's paid for it.
32:50From which the Dutch bridegroom
32:51has never even seen.
32:53Not that he minds.
32:54He's been paid.
32:55Oh, Peter minds.
32:56Where is he?
32:56He's gone to Dover.
32:57Well, you let him go.
32:59Bill couldn't hold him.
33:00But they'll call us from the hoverboard
33:01as soon as he shows up.
33:02So what do we tell him?
33:03To change course for Holland
33:04because that's where his wife is.
33:05The one with the wedding certificate anyway.
33:07In Holland?
33:08She's never been anywhere else.
33:10And that's why Jarvis doesn't want him to go there.
33:13The one I want to find
33:14is the girl he thinks he's married to.
33:16The stand-in of the registry office.
33:17I don't think she's gone that far.
33:19Come and look.
33:20Well, you found her.
33:20I don't think so,
33:21but you can identify her.
33:24Real name, Tam Eubon.
33:26Malayan.
33:27Convicted for obtaining money
33:29by false pretenses.
33:31Someone had her knocking on doors
33:32with a collecting box
33:33for the Ethiopian relief.
33:35She made quite a haul.
33:45Who's gone to Fetchum?
33:46Where?
33:47Chatham.
33:47She works in a sweatshop.
33:50I don't pay you to check to boyfriend.
34:04She'll check later.
34:06And what do you want?
34:07I'd like to talk to one of your workers
34:09if you do this, you pray.
34:10Not in my time, lady.
34:11Out.
34:12They knock off at 6.30.
34:13You talk later, right?
34:15Well, I'll have to talk to you instead.
34:16My time's money, too.
34:18About your work conditions here.
34:19Just the one entrance.
34:20No windows, no fire escape.
34:23I could have you closed down.
34:24Closed down?
34:26You do like he says.
34:28Get out.
34:29We like conditions here.
34:31And also about the money
34:32your workers get paid.
34:34Are you from the union?
34:35We don't want no union here.
34:37We don't want no strikes here.
34:40We want to work.
34:41Come on, lady.
34:42Oh, I surrender.
34:43You can get back to your treadmill now.
34:48So, if anyone comes asking questions before then,
34:51you know speak you the English, right?
34:54I'll pick you up at half six.
34:57All right, if she stays here.
34:58Can't risk having her at my place.
35:00Who is she?
35:01She's in a bit of trouble.
35:02Got to lie low.
35:03I expect she's used to that
35:05if she's one of your women.
35:06She's not.
35:07She's one of Bill's.
35:08I'll go and fetch her.
35:10Bill's?
35:11Over in Chatham.
35:13Hang on.
35:14You're telling me Bill's got a woman at Chatham?
35:17Where do you think he sleeps when I'm here?
35:19And his cab?
35:21Yes.
35:28It's a shame I'm not heading south.
35:29I could give him you a lift all the way to Marseille.
35:31Where are you headed?
35:33Over, I don't carry.
35:34And up to Hamburg.
35:35So you go through Holland?
35:37Yeah.
35:37Listen, you've got to get yourself to Marseille.
35:42You catch the 8.30 hovercraft at Cali, you'll be fine.
35:46Do you think my wife is in Marseille?
35:50Well, if that geezer was his name says, I mean...
35:52But what do you think?
35:54It was you that got me to marry her
35:55so she could become Dutch citizen.
35:57Why is she going to France?
35:58Look, all I do is arrange for the bridegrooms,
36:02like the lads like yourself.
36:04Get the passport details
36:05and fix up a place to stay until you're married.
36:08Who is it behind it all?
36:10Come on now.
36:12That would be talent, wouldn't it?
36:15But now she is Mrs. Peter van der Velde,
36:17she has to be in Holland.
36:20The hovercraft, you can sail without me.
36:23I catch the ferry to Ostend with you, okay?
36:26Sure.
36:26You can drop me off in Holland tomorrow.
36:31That Mr. Jarvis,
36:32he was definitely helping me on.
36:56Come on, darling.
37:12Come on, darling.
37:17Hello, Duchess.
37:23What brings you here?
37:24I can make my own inquiries without helping her.
37:27The police will want to question her.
37:28That's exactly where I'm taking her.
37:29Police? What for?
37:31For perjury, conspiracy and fraud.
37:33I think you can leave this to me, Mr. Jarvis.
37:35You're not even an ex-police inspector.
37:37But he said you're not police.
37:39It's called citizen's arrest.
37:40Where are you taking me?
37:52To meet your husband.
37:54I've got the girl.
37:55What time does the hovercraft sail?
37:578.30.
37:58You should just make it.
37:59I may say that when I told my superiors at HO
38:05that this racket seems now to have been enlarged
38:08to embrace some of our oriental friends from the Far East,
38:11they were most concerned.
38:13I told them I found 15 cases in this area alone
38:16between visiting foreigners and...
38:17You found them?
38:18We work as a team, Frederica.
38:22Approves taken at Adoba
38:23so that your Dutch friend can meet her in time.
38:31Turn the girl in, have you?
38:33Immigration racket.
38:34Exposed by lady amateurs and one ex-probe.
38:37Another feather in your cap, eh?
38:40Mutual aid, I said.
38:41Not pinching my bloody living.
38:43He came to me to find his wife.
38:44And when I did...
38:45You told him she was in Marseille.
38:47Yeah, so when I really found out she was working in Chatham,
38:50I'd go and get her.
38:51Only to have your lady snatch her from under me.
38:54There's plenty of witnesses back there to say
38:56I was already taking her to the law myself
38:58before you lot crashed in for the pickings.
39:00And whatever she says in court,
39:02there's nothing anyone can pin on me in all this.
39:05Even if I do know a whole lot more about it
39:06than you kids do,
39:08with your fancy toys and your smart motors
39:10and your rich sugar daddy to finance you.
39:13As it happens, I'm just a client.
39:14What, with a daimler and a chauffeur?
39:17All the big money's outside the country these days.
39:20So you set these kids up as a front
39:22for whatever it is you're playing at.
39:23Out here on the river with them aerials on the roof.
39:26I've got the odd contact in Whitehall
39:28who might be very interested in you lot.
39:30Get that.
39:31Yeah, bend the right here.
39:32I could have the home office sorting this place out.
39:34So, what's the deal then?
39:36Keep me out of it.
39:38You can have all the glory
39:39and all the facts.
39:41I think we've got all the facts, Mr. Jarvis.
39:43You don't know where the marriage certificates
39:45get sent to on the continent
39:46or who finds the lads
39:48to put themselves up at their wedding shops.
39:50Bill does that.
39:51And Bill knows who's behind this racket.
39:53Bill who?
39:59You still write your parents then, do you?
40:01Oh.
40:02Sometimes.
40:03Where do you think you are at the moment?
40:06Cash me in.
40:08Cash me in?
40:09All right, now you get your ticket over there.
40:38You write for money?
40:39Yeah, yeah, I'm not so skilled.
40:40Well, don't be too long, will you?
40:41Let's start loading soon.
40:42I just make telephone call home.
40:45Listen, you don't want to do that.
40:46Why don't you give them a surprise?
40:48Come on, I'll go with you.
41:08Thanks.
41:09That was passport control.
41:32Dover.
41:33The hovercraft is left.
41:35Peter wasn't on it.
41:37He must be.
41:38Where's Bill taking him?
41:39Bill?
41:40Of course, Bill.
41:42You would have told him your trick
41:43to get Peter to Marseille.
41:45You made his travel arrangements.
41:47You even sent him to the transport cafe
41:49so Bill knew where to pick him up.
41:50So, yes, where has Bill taken him?
41:53I thought to Dover.
41:55So you get to Calais and then to Paris.
41:57What's the registration number?
41:58Is it a deal?
42:01Like hell, it's a deal.
42:03If anything happens to that boy.
42:04Happens?
42:05What do you want about?
42:06A boy who hasn't seen his family for two years
42:08isn't going to be missed.
42:10What's the registration number?
42:12Are you?
42:30What you want about?
42:32What's the registration number?
42:33What's the registration number?
42:34como The registration number of goods
42:35ì–´ë µietet
42:39A311 RSU. They could be on the ferry for Ostend that leaves in 10 minutes, if not they haven't
42:50left the country yet. But I may have done by the time I've found out. Tell Nigel to get me
42:54immediate clearance to go on board. He's doing that now. I'll send you a postcard from Ostend.
43:03A bit of a wind blowing up. Could be in for a rough crossing.
43:05It's not too good. I've got a sickness at the sea. You'll be all right on deck.
43:25Who's done, Pastor? I have to go on board. What about passports? No passports, you've been told. Check it out.
43:31There's plenty of time for all that. Let's go and have a drink. I could make my fare to India on this last
43:35soon up then, Peter. Come on. This man got some nice work on this tub. Let's have a drink with him.
43:39Yeah? Yeah, don't ask me.
44:10Where are you taking me?
44:19It isn't sailing yet.
44:30Are you sure?
44:32Transputacy foreign parts.
44:40Travel broadens the mind, they say.
45:03I'll tell you what, Fink.
45:18These ferries will be bankrupt if you want for our trucks.
45:20Yeah, I do this for unregular.
45:23Fruit machines, you wouldn't catch me up there with those day trippers, I tell you.
45:28Got everything I need down here.
45:31It's all right as long as you don't take it short.
45:33Come on, let me have a drink.
45:34Come on, Pete, relax, please.
45:39There's a lorry driver on board called Bill Fawcett, and I think a Dutchman called Peter Vanderbilt.
46:00Could you put out a call for them?
46:01On what authority?
46:02I have to talk to them.
46:05I think I have to tell my father.
46:08I hate my father.
46:11He turned me out, which is why I went backpacking.
46:15Then he left my mother.
46:17But now, now I have to see him.
46:20Well, you'll find your wife soon enough by yourself.
46:24Not as soon as he will.
46:26He's superintendent of police.
46:34Oh, I don't think I feel so good.
46:36Well, don't you start throwing up down here.
46:38Come on, up you come.
46:39That's it, upstairs.
46:40Fresh air, that's what you need.
46:42Come on, up, that's it.
46:44Come on.
46:50That's it, you've got better than the end.
46:54Come on.
46:57Let the end, thank God.
46:58Let it all go.
47:00Let it all go.
47:01Bill!
47:03Christ!
47:07What the hell are you doing here?
47:08She took me from the workshop.
47:10She's looking for you and him.
47:11Come on, get out of here.
47:12Come on, get lost, go!
47:15That was me.
47:15That'd be dark.
47:16I'm sure it was her.
47:18How could she be here, eh?
47:18On the same boat.
47:20I was right.
47:21Come on.
47:22Let me go, Mel!
47:36Come on!
47:48I need you for a look out while I...
47:52Throw him overboard.
47:57He fell.
48:00He's plastered.
48:02He fell from up there.
48:07Well, I don't know who he is.
48:08He's just a lad I gave a lift to.
48:09He's...
48:09He's Dutch, I think.
48:12He's dead.
48:19i've just been told that girl's going to be let off with a suspended sentence
48:47and what about that bastard bill manslaughter manslaughter it was murder possible to prove
48:55besides he's agreed to name names so what you're saying is it's worth killing someone
49:01to keep these asians out of europe we don't make the rules spread
