04:43Get him.
04:49I don't know.
05:09Heading in a south easterly direction over Southwark or Rotherhithe, flying low.
05:13A helicopter.
05:15Not so mad at that.
05:19HQ, Cowley here.
05:21Inform all CI5 agents of the Asher-Bieberman snatch.
05:23On leave, off sick, whatever.
05:25I want everybody on the job.
05:44Oh!
05:51Bodie?
05:53Yeah.
05:55What?
05:57Right.
05:58I'm away.
05:59Bodie!
06:01Bodie!
06:02You've struck me up just once too often.
06:04Breaks my heart.
06:05Really does.
06:06I'll see.
06:07Got a flight.
06:08I'll see.
06:09Okay.
06:10I'll see you.
06:11I'll see you.
06:12I'll see you.
06:13VIP Snatch Festival Hall. Proceed immediately.
06:15Right. Will do. 4-5 out.
06:20Sorry, love. Gotta ditch you.
06:22Ditch me? What are you talking about?
06:24We're going to the rock concert.
06:25We were going to the rock concert. Duty calls.
06:28But you're off duty tonight.
06:29I was off duty. I'm not now.
06:33Get Central to give me a rundown on the Festival Hall Snatch, will you?
06:36Why didn't you tell me you're impossible?
06:38Well, look, I'll call you tomorrow. I'll call you later.
06:40Don't bother.
06:41It's no bother.
06:42I mean me. Don't bother me. Just forget it.
06:46Deborah, ah, come on. Debrang.
06:54Oh, and, er, I want to send some flowers to Miss Jane Anderson.
06:58ETA, 15, 20 minutes.
07:01Er, I want you to send a telegram.
07:04A greetings telegram to Miss Deborah...
07:089 mil. They're using different makes Czech and East German.
07:26Yeah. Must be using M10s, Uzis or Ingrams.
07:30Thought they went bust.
07:31Well, there's that new firm in Atlanta making them.
07:33It's not where you got mine from.
07:35All right.
07:37Are you still chasing that big gymnast?
07:39No.
07:40Oh, I only go for the strawberries and cream.
07:42One of our choppers is over Kingston, starting an arc for the south-west.
07:45The other one's still over the city, heading south-east.
07:47What about the heliport? Have they put anyone up yet?
07:50Only one in the air so far, sir.
07:51Most of the pilots have checked out for the night.
07:53Marvellous. Caught four square with a political hot potato.
07:56Well, if they will, go out of an evening.
07:58We pick one up, sir, but it's a planned flight to the coast.
08:00Nothing on radar?
08:01No, sir.
08:02Well, if they're not spotted soon, it'll be dark and then we're really in trouble.
08:05Oh.
08:33Sir.
08:34Yeah?
08:42Beaten for speed, that's where they got us.
08:44This isn't a needle in a haystack, it's a whole harvest of haystacks.
08:47Come on now, move, move!
08:50Right, get in there, bossy!
08:55Right, let's go!
09:04We haven't cleared the country.
09:07Transferred to light aircraft.
09:08They're well organised.
09:09It might be better for us if they have.
09:11And have the whole world thinking we can't give security to our guests?
09:14I don't believe.
09:15I simply don't believe they could get to the coast without someone getting a light.
09:18You know, a chopper's not exactly a Rolls-Royce, is it?
09:20They can't just land unobserved.
09:21What?
09:22Clearing in the forest?
09:23Marshes?
09:24Heathland?
09:25Golf course?
09:26No, all right.
09:27Point taken.
09:28Your public might come through with something.
09:29The appeal's going out on all stations, radio and TV.
09:32Get his head down!
09:39This isn't Italy or some banana republic.
09:42This is an island.
09:43A piece of land surrounded by water.
09:45They must not get off this island.
09:47Scotland Yard, the radio and TV stations have all been swamped with calls.
09:51It seems that everyone and his mother heard or saw a helicopter in every conceivable part of London and the home counties.
09:57And on the coast?
09:58A few, but those are mostly traceable.
10:01And first reports tie in with scheduled flights of civil aircraft.
10:05And what's your guess?
10:07Oh, I don't go in for guessing games.
10:10But I think they're down and gone to ground.
10:13I can't tell you how serious this is.
10:15The ramifications are appalling.
10:17Oh, I know.
10:18Now, don't keep this one under your hat, George.
10:20I don't want any of the, with one bound Jack was free.
10:24I want a fully coordinated operation, police, special services, whatever.
10:28I understand.
10:29But in the final analysis, weight of numbers may be an embarrassment.
10:34This is clearly a well-planned operation by a small force of, as yet unknown participants.
10:39There were embarrassments well chosen.
10:42But equally we must be seen to be active.
10:45We can't afford to risk the criticism of appearing inactive.
10:48Those are political considerations, Minister.
10:51We have the experience of other countries to ponder on.
10:54Cities, saturated with counter-terrorist forces, drenched with operatives.
10:58And weeks, months later, the kidnappers' quarters have been uncovered empty.
11:03Marvelously anonymous places.
11:05Not derelict farm buildings miles off the beaten track, but flats or houses in the thickest suburbia,
11:10or right in the heart of city centers.
11:12I know, I know.
11:13I assure you, Minister, our best course is to play the waiting game.
11:18They will.
11:20And so must we.
11:21Don't suppose you had time for a little pre-concert dinner?
11:38Sorry, it's not salt, beef and knuckles.
11:42Or, uh, what is it, uh, larkies?
11:46Please excuse the cutlery.
11:49Don't want you cutting yourself.
11:52Oh, nice hands.
11:54You should play the piano with hands like that.
11:57I do.
11:59Yes.
12:00Very musical, your people.
12:02Beethoven, Strauss.
12:04Oh, no, he wasn't one of your lot, was he, Strauss?
12:07Hey, Tales of the Vienna Woods, that one.
12:10Get on with it, John, will you?
12:12I do hope we don't have to cut one off.
12:15One of your fingers, I mean.
12:18Yes, but we are running against time now, sir.
12:22Yeah, sir.
12:23Of course.
12:24Would you hold a moment, sir?
12:25This one could be good.
12:26An old lady thought she'd heard a chopper about the same time.
12:29Um, and this area here, sir.
12:32She thought it was the local millionaire.
12:33He's got a pad out there, but realised he was in hospital.
12:35Of course don't, sir.
12:36Could anybody else have been flying it?
12:37No, pilots himself.
12:38Machines been on the ground for weeks.
12:39Good, excellent.
12:40Getting better.
12:41Same area.
12:43A pair of fellows out walking his dog.
12:45Reports a speed merchant.
12:46Took the number fours.
12:47Plates.
12:48Direction?
12:49Uh, B road, but it leads straight onto the main London road.
12:51Into or out of?
12:52Well, it's something.
12:53Mount a search.
12:54What in the dark?
12:55I don't care if it's pitch black out there.
12:56Mount a search.
12:57Police, troops, where's the nearest camp?
12:58Get moving.
12:59Uh, hello.
13:00I'm sorry, sir.
13:01Yes?
13:02Oh, that reminds me.
13:04About the fellow that went in the nut house.
13:07Nervous breakdown, you know.
13:08He said to the doctor, he said, will I be able to play the piano when I get out?
13:11The doctor said, yes, of course you will.
13:13That's funny, he said.
13:14Couldn't play before I came in.
13:16Eh.
13:17You understand?
13:20Are you up on the language?
13:22Enough.
13:24We will, you know, if we have to.
13:28We'll cut off your hand if we have to.
13:44Hey, I'm here!
13:45I'm here!
13:55Bob, give me the radio.
13:57I'm here.
13:58Sunray 5 to 6 ray.
14:00Sunray 5 to 6 ray.
14:02Sunray 5 to 6 ray.
14:14You found this job interferes with your social life?
14:16Interfered with our commanding officers, when we told them to get out on night manoeuvres.
14:22He's sitting in his mesquite sipping pork, was he?
14:24Yeah, I loved it.
14:26At times, those guys have had me slogging through the night,
14:28up to my eyes in mud.
14:30Yeah, me too.
14:32Come rain, come sleet, come snow, pound in the streets.
14:36Used to really get me, you know,
14:38watching them come out of the pub, well jollied up,
14:40then off home to their warm beds.
14:42Well, you're an officer now.
14:44Tell Captain Cowley.
14:46You tell him.
14:48Hang on.
14:50I told you that chopper would be down me whole dark, wouldn't I?
14:54You know, I sometimes wonder where you get this incredible insight
14:58into the criminal mind.
15:00I'm not suggesting...
15:01If you go on munching bread and fried grub,
15:03you're not gonna make old bones, you know.
15:05It's beautiful, gets the adrenaline flowing.
15:07Just clogging yourself up with cholesterol.
15:12Pull over, I'll take the wheel.
15:14What?
15:15I've just realised the incredible risk I'm taking.
15:17You're jammed tart, your heart could just pop it any minute.
15:19Come on.
15:20Get off!
15:21Come on, up the other half.
15:23That's what you want, isn't it?
15:24I know.
15:25Want it?
15:26I wouldn't be seen dead eating that.
15:27It's because you forgot to bring your vitamins.
15:34Right, we're there now.
15:35Tell Mr Cowley that we'll report back in five minutes out.
15:38You boys haven't touched the outside of this thing, have you?
15:49Of course not.
15:50Look, we've found it.
15:51Another hard job to miss it, won't it?
15:52Yeah, all right.
15:53Corporal, plan your man out at intervals of 25 yards
15:56and post them in the lane 50 yards distance apart.
15:59No unauthorised personnel past that point, okay?
16:01All right.
16:02I've got something to show you.
16:03Great, fine.
16:04Thanks.
16:05I think we'd better be careful.
16:06It could be boobied.
16:07Well, you think they're that fancy?
16:08Yeah, well, they're still in the helicopter, haven't they?
16:10Taking a guy that some Arabs would give off the desert for.
16:13So I don't think they'd be too squeamish about blowing off the odd limb, do you?
16:16You're quite a persuasive talker, wouldn't you want to be, aren't you?
16:19Let's leave it to the bomb squad.
16:21Right?
16:22Do you want to touch this, have you?
16:23Oh, yes.
16:24Kaiser of Tel Aviv.
16:25Supports local industry.
16:26Be hopping around on one foot.
16:27Except that he's not going very far.
16:28There you go.
16:29I should have won that pen back.
16:30Looks like two cars.
16:31Yeah, and going in opposite directions.
16:32So take your pick.
16:33Oh, yes.
16:35Kaiser of Tel Aviv.
16:36Supports local industry.
16:39Be hopping around on one foot.
16:42Except that he's not going very far.
16:47There you go.
16:49I should have won that pen back.
16:52Looks like two cars.
16:54Yeah, and going in opposite directions, so take your pick.
16:58You got a bang out of sounding there.
17:15What else did you get for Christmas?
17:19Three-six.
17:22You on your way in?
17:23Yes, sir.
17:25The chopper collected from Elstree Airfield yesterday on a transporter.
17:30That explains it, why they didn't fly in daylight.
17:32They did a good job on the papers.
17:34On a signature of the works.
17:36And they were British.
17:37One sounded Scots.
17:39One of yours, sir.
17:41Oh, that's enough, buddy.
17:42Sir.
17:43Where's Goldilocks?
17:45He's in the back trying to get some beauty sleep.
17:48He'd better make the most of it.
17:50Out?
17:51Out.
17:52He sounds lively.
17:53That crack of yours about it might be better if they got out of the country.
17:56That really stuck in his patriotic craw.
17:59That's incredible.
18:01Look at the time.
18:02The minister cannot be disturbed.
18:03If Smiler came through on the hotlines for the same story.
18:06Listen, you've got to learn to live with the order of things, right?
18:08There's a move afoot to bring back touching the forelock.
18:11Oh, does it hurt?
18:12There's a good job on the papers.
18:13The owner's signature.
18:14Excuse me, sir.
18:15And they were British.
18:16Once I met Scottish.
18:17Really?
18:18Sixteen hours since they did the job.
18:20They're in no hurry to get in touch.
18:21We'll just have to wait, that's all.
18:22Try telling that to world governments.
18:23Washington still believes that over here everything stops for tea.
18:26Excuse me, sir.
18:27They phoned the Express.
18:28There's something waiting for us in a phone box in Jubilee Walk.
18:30Oh, next step in the waiting game.
18:31Right.
18:32I'd like the sound of that something.
18:33Half an ear, perhaps.
18:34Excuse me.
18:36There are times, Bodie, when I find your rivalry quite distasteful.
18:41Come on.
18:42Yeah, right.
18:43Is Harvey down there already?
18:44Yes, sir, they've checked it out.
18:45They've got a bomb squad.
18:46Where's this Jubilee place, you call it?
18:47Er, County Hall.
18:48Come on, Harry, Harry.
18:49Harvey's got the first squad there.
18:50They've checked it.
18:56How soon did your men get here?
18:57Within seven minutes, sir.
18:58Every chance.
18:59The box hasn't been used since.
19:00They've probably used gloves and dialed with a pencil.
19:02Possibly, but there's always a chance door.
19:03Come on, sir.
19:04Is this door safe?
19:05Yeah, there was something bulky in there.
19:06Look at the, uh, outline.
19:07Oh, a cassette?
19:08Maybe.
19:09Have you got those, uh, scissors there, Chris?
19:11Yeah, I'll give this, uh, bag and a fish on you.
19:12I hope there's no wire.
19:14That's all right, I think.
19:15Hold that.
19:16There you go.
19:17Yeah, you're right.
19:18I'm sorry.
19:19I'm sorry.
19:20I'm sorry.
19:21I'm sorry.
19:22I'm sorry.
19:23I'm sorry.
19:24I'm sorry.
19:25I'm sorry.
19:26I'm sorry.
19:27I'm sorry.
19:28I'm sorry.
19:29I'm sorry.
19:30I'm sorry.
19:31I'm sorry.
19:32I'm sorry.
19:33I'm sorry.
19:34Yeah, you're right.
19:35One cassette.
19:36Oh, German cassette.
19:37Not too much by-British about this lot.
19:40There he is.
19:41Bit cheapskate.
19:42They've used available light.
19:46Sounds like something, though.
19:47They get the sun in the morning.
19:49And the moon at night.
19:50Very amusing.
19:51He looks a bit groggy.
19:52Yeah, he's probably dote up to the eyeballs.
19:54We'll get this blown up.
19:55And go someplace and play this tape back.
19:57See that they check up the box for prints.
19:59No, no, no.
20:05And if these demands are met in full, I will be released unharmed.
20:11Otherwise my captors will consider themselves absolved from the consequences.
20:18Usher Biberman.
20:19The last section once more, please.
20:22In full, I will be released unharmed.
20:28Otherwise my captors will consider themselves absolved from the consequences.
20:35Usher Biberman.
20:37Once more, if you please.
20:39Permet in full, I will be released unharmed.
20:45Otherwise my captors will consider themselves absolved from the consequences.
20:52Usher Biberman.
20:55He tells us two, possibly three things.
20:58Does he?
20:59Why?
21:00We had to hear it several times.
21:02The pauses.
21:04The seventh, the eleventh, and the seventeenth.
21:08And the seventeenth word.
21:09A prepared code, and the message dictated by the kidnappers.
21:12He tells us they are not Arab.
21:14That they are not political.
21:16They are, I think, British.
21:19And if they had been Arab, political, a different sequence, right?
21:23We have to be prepared at all times, on all levels.
21:27Quite.
21:28Excuse me, sir.
21:35My, my, there's careless for you.
21:37A break for us, that for the morning sun.
21:39I mean, the worst summer for years.
21:41They always say that.
21:42Yeah.
21:43What about this, sir, this line?
21:44It's not a crease in the photograph, is it?
21:46Telephone wire?
21:48Perhaps.
21:49But there's no proof it's on the outside.
21:52This, uh, round patch now, I don't think is a stain.
21:56Oh, it's probably one of those ventilators, you know, that you see in the bedsitters.
21:59Very faint.
22:00Well, plastic on glass, it would be.
22:01What about this hard line here, this sort of curvy bit?
22:04A bit of furniture obstructing the sunlight.
22:06Bigger man.
22:07Bigger still.
22:08Especially that run blob there.
22:09Sir.
22:10Well, thank you, gentlemen.
22:11We knew about the British angle.
22:12They collected the helicopter from Elstree Airport.
22:13Forged documents.
22:14Unusual.
22:15Professional criminals meddling in the political area.
22:16It has happened elsewhere.
22:17In Italy, for instance.
22:18Mafia supplying arms to the politicals.
22:19Yes, yes, of course.
22:20And the IRA running protection rackets.
22:21But this is an odd one.
22:22I don't like it.
22:23No, do we.
22:24Especially, I imagine.
22:25My friend Bieberman.
22:26Now, if I, or any of our specialists, would be of any help to you...
22:36Specialists, Mr. Hirschfeld?
22:39Don't tell you that's Israel has specialists operating here.
22:44Nigel.
22:45County could have software glaze by there.
22:50What is this?
22:52telling me that israel has specialists operating here no mr cowley i'm not telling you that of

23:57politics when your friend arrived is it in your brief or five brief before briefs they're hung up on
24:04clothes prisoners of the rurality cult obviously understood come on we're on on what on a bus
24:19hook yourself to the chips we'll continue this meeting at a later date you and me could form a
24:26subcommittee this is ridiculous how does he know it's a boss anyway could be a shadow anything well
24:36we're going to get very far sitting around in police canteens were we yeah see that blonde piece yeah i could
24:41have fixed a sexual politics you know this equality business doesn't do much for what the spanish call
24:46cojones tell me what do you think of the philosophy of camp i think yeah exactly so that hard edge on
24:52the photograph is a bus and this is a place to be in it you said it was a chest of drawers listen
24:58that man in rome the one with the red socks he's the one that's infallible mate not me yeah him and
25:02cowley there's enough daylight to give us at least one sweep there are 300 bus routes not counting the a's
25:07and b's and the green line double deck all right it's a long shot but long shots have come in before
25:11than the locations if any of them fit the bill but you're too young to remember the war you could go
25:16to jail for what you're doing spreading alarm and despondency 18b i think it was mr cowley i'm not
25:21being despondent i'm just being realistic still being a lunatic how many years have you been in
25:24this outfit i'm stuck on the top of the bus looking for a load of kidnappers what's that
25:31they're pouring people under the buses all over greater london army navy air force police two by
25:37two just like into the ark it's crazy we're the two top operatives and they got us on top of a bus
25:41we should be where it's at well how do we know where it's at cowley's probably got his auntie on
25:46a bus by now but we do know several things the room faces east there's a line if it is a phone line
25:53can't be less than 24 feet from the ground and the infrared process suggests grid lines in this disk here
26:00it's very probably a ventilator
26:07that's the third one on this route no phone line you know i reckon that line was on the inside
26:13anyway they could have strung it up the hang of dishcloths nylons anything okay we better report it
26:19we're about a mile from the devil what's our next little jaunt 52 452 operation center over is that
26:27further out yeah you know they speak a different language out there keep your eyes peeled i know i know
26:35keep taking the pills i'm gonna pack this job in and do what uh operation center 45 here reporting a
26:42possible red said over and do what live off some rich woman oh they can be very demanding no you know
26:50i've tried it very boring very repetitive uh operation center 45 reporting a possible red
26:57red said corner of garrett's lane and delia street over repetitive here you little devil
27:10where the hell have you been i've been for an ice cream ice cream what's up with you mac we're
27:28sitting on a bomb in this place and you go for an ice cream don't worry about it there's nothing
27:30strange about going for an ice cream it's all this cloak and dagger stuff anyway frank
27:35it's okay out there better be do you want one of these no what flavor is it well it's uh plain chocolate
27:41no thanks well you better have it then what matter hey him or me you you
27:52you doing your time i would be way out sir knees didn't sir you know gateway to the west
27:57well they were a might too quick for us but that's their prerogative for now put their message across
28:01and got off the line before we could trace the source it was somewhere here oh great we've got
28:07tape recorders placed in every newspaper office the periodicals radio tv everywhere gay news everywhere
28:15news desk yeah that's right get this down and be quick about it we've got bieberman and he's up for
28:21grabs this is not a political kidnapping it's an auction we want money now just a minute never mind
28:27for just a minute get it down he's up for grabs the highest bidder one lot want him back the other
28:32lot might want him put away we want to make a sale got that you want to make a sale right the next call
28:39we'll state our terms but tell them to get their minds made up there'll be no hanging about
28:45hello hello
28:47well we need a voice printer could be anybody it sounds a bit like you actually
28:57of course one knows about the auction as you call it there are arabic newspapers printed here too you
29:03know with political agents and their staff that is a possibility would they want bieberman
29:08i'm sorry you're not making yourself clear i'm sorry too
29:19the israelis have always refused to negotiate acts of war and so forth this is somewhat different
29:27in what way mr cowley you're not normally so obtuse
29:31bieberman is held by criminals not by soldiers in a state of war and no one condones criminality no of
29:44course not i hope that was not intended as a cynicism no it was not if a certain group were to assist
29:51with obtaining bieberman's freedom that group would be undertaking the most unpleasant task of trading with
29:59the criminals and for the use of their good offices they would expect surely considerable concessions
30:10and certain acts of amnesty that sounds a little close to direct demands direct exchanges between the
30:19two sides perhaps we are now in the diplomatic area perhaps you should consult your superiors
30:28yes yes yes indeed hey hey what are you on up with or downers i never touch the stuff money turns me on
30:40especially the lack of it come on that's a

36:45Well, he's well doped up, but if in doubt, use the chloroform.
36:50Right.
36:52Frank?
36:53What's up?
36:54Moving about, next door.
36:56How'd you see them come back?
37:06No.
37:07No, not at all.
37:08Well, they came in the back way.
37:09Are you sure you didn't see them?
37:10Of course I didn't.
37:11I just wondered who the visitor was, that's all that girl.
37:13Oh, sister, friend, goodnight.
37:15Good looking, eh?
37:16Oh, you're in for a long night.
37:35I'll send somebody up.
37:36There'll be help.
37:37Come on, you two.
37:38Come on.
37:40Well, come on.
37:50Come on.
37:54Thank you, Miss Petova.
38:22All quiet?
38:23Yes, sir.
38:23You get some sleep?
38:24A little.
38:25Rough?
38:26Back of a patrol car.
38:28When I couldn't sleep, I listened to the shortwave.
38:30It's better than a king-sized novel.
38:32Sex, violence, money, intrigue.
38:34You should make a bid for the film, right?
38:36Oh, here, hold that, will you?
38:40Hello, Cowley here.
38:43Yeah?
38:45Wakey, wakey.
38:47The old man's gone back to London.
38:49What?
38:50The old man's gone back to town.
38:51Oh, no, don't tell me we're up a wrong tree again.
38:55No, the Israelis are sussed.
38:56We're onto something.
38:57But what do they want?
38:58Another Entebbe?
39:01Four or five, we've seen him.
39:27We're on our way.
39:29The whole world knows your policemen are wonderful.
39:33If you want to know the time.
39:34Exactly.
39:36Mr. Cowley, you are an elusive man.
39:40You left central London last evening.
39:42Oh, those were your people trying to follow me.
39:45Oh, yes.
39:46But they were intercepted by a police patrol and told, most politely, that they were exceeding
39:51the speed limit.
39:53Even with diplomatic plates, one is expected to conform with the laws of the land.
39:57Of course.
39:59Now, Mr. Cowley, what's the position?
40:01The position is that we are proceeding with our inquiries.
40:04But you have some definite information.
40:22Let's say we are pursuing a more promising line of inquiry.
40:25Four or five to two, four.
40:43Mr. Cowley, can Israel be of assistance?
40:47At this stage, I think not.
40:49What about our Arab friends' proposal?
40:51Such generosity with friends like that, who needs enemies?
40:56It seemed plausible, might not something...
40:58But it hasn't come to that yet.
41:01I do think that, diplomatically speaking, you understand, Israel is entitled to some more
41:08detailed information.
41:10The diplomacy you speak of is outside my particular province.
41:14Obviously, if I was instructed to amplify the information, I would do that.
41:19Minister?
41:19Ambassador, I really think Mr. Cowley knows what he's doing.
41:32Sir, we've had, sad to say, plenty of experience of this kind of thing.
41:39Yes, I know.
41:41Mr. Hirschfield, if he's where we think he is, we'll get him back for you.
41:46Dead or alive?
41:49Alive.
41:51I hope.
41:51I hope.
41:51I hope.
41:56I hope.
41:57I hope.
41:59I hope.
43:03Four, five.
43:08You've got to hand it to them.
43:09They've got a sense of humor.
43:11They've called the sporting life.
43:13Well, they're taking a gamble.
43:15Here it is.
43:16Yeah, touché.
43:17They want the jackpot.
43:18How much?
43:19Two million.
43:20Half a million apiece.
43:21Is that all?
43:22No, the military aircraft and fuel for 3,000 miles, plus 12, repeat 12, parachutes.
43:30And the money, of course.
43:32They've got their own pilot, and the RAF crew jump first, right?
43:37Right.
43:37So if anyone fancies tampering with the chutes, it could be a touch of Russian roulette.
43:41Nice one.
43:42Yeah.
43:42See ya.
43:47Hey, listen, make this nice and strong, will ya?
43:49Don't want to get me head knocked off.
43:50Hey, jump.
43:54This will kill ya.
43:58Ha-ha-ha.
44:14Tail's in place.
44:15Returning the stakeout.
44:16Off.
44:39Your clutch is slipping.
44:40My clutch or my touch?
44:42All we need is the time and the place.
44:44Or as bad as Bodie.
44:45Oh, now, be fair.
44:48Nobody's as bad as Bodie.
44:53Nice.
44:54Yeah, thanks, mate.
44:55Oh, no, that's all we need.
45:20What's that, sir?
45:21The child, the neighbor's child.
45:23They've let her through.
45:24School's out.
45:25Just after 12.
45:26She must have forgotten.
45:28Now, keep an eye on them.
45:29Hey, come on.
45:40Hey, come on.
45:44We're not going to be here.
45:49This one's rare and this one's thumper.
45:52Aren't we supposed to be here?
45:54Not really.
45:54But they're hungry.
45:56Can I have some pets?
45:57Here I am.
45:58I've got some lettuce.
46:01Come on.
46:01I'm going to feed them every day.
46:05And I'll clean them out.
46:09Red Zed, Red Zed.
46:12There's two kids in the garden feeding some rabbits.
46:15What do you mean?
46:16We're not supposed to be here.
46:18Mum says they're bad men.
46:20And the police say they've done something terrible.
46:22Somebody slipped up.
46:23How the hell did that happen?
46:23No, I don't know how they got there.
46:26Job, cleaning them out.
46:28I hate it.
46:29Come on, Zoe.
46:30You better go.
46:31They've had enough.
46:32Asher, look!
46:34Ow!
46:40Thank God.
46:41The kids have come out again.
46:44Ruth, get the children clear of the area.
46:53Hey.
46:56Hey, there's something on.
47:00They're buzzing around like flies.
47:03Red Zed.
47:03Red Zed, they're on the move.
47:04They're on the move.
47:22Doyle.
47:23Well, are you ready around the back?
47:25No.
47:26Right.
47:26Stand by.
47:43Pony.
47:45You're on.
47:51Hold up!
47:53Right.
47:57Nice, Rod.
47:58Doyle.
48:00Stand by at the back.
48:07No, slow me down.
48:08Slow me down.
48:08Now, Bodie, let me know when you're in position.
48:22Right, ready.
48:23Stand by.
48:29Right.
48:30Go, Bodie.
48:31Right, go!
48:32Go!
48:36Go, Doyle.
48:36Get him out.
48:41B Dare.
48:54Run!
48:54Get him out.
48:56Help!
48:57No!
48:57Halt!
48:57No!
48:57Hello!
48:58No!
48:59Ã i!
48:59Get him out!
48:59No!
48:59No!
49:00Now, Don't head up there.
49:02We'll catch you!
49:03Get him out.
49:07Shalom.
49:08Shadad shalom.
49:09Well, it is Friday evening, isn't it?
49:11The start of our Sabbath.
49:13Yeah, well, if you go to the synagogue, say one for me.
49:15Yeah, yeah, and me too.
49:18Haven't got a key, sir.
49:18No!
49:19Molly!
49:20Where are you?
49:22Oh, good afternoon, sir.
49:24I trust I find you well.
49:26They haven't got a handcuff key on you, have you, sir?
49:28I'm afraid it's only Indian, Mr Cowley.
49:33Oh, it's perfect.
49:34Very welcome, I assure you.
49:36Well, that's something else we'll have to indent for, ma'am.
49:38One Swiss rule.
49:39Body here is still a growing lad.
49:41Looks as if he's got a healthy appetite.
49:43Mr Doyle.
49:44No, no, thanks.
49:45It's a bit too fattening for me.
49:47Imagine villains getting in on the terrorist act.
49:50What's the world coming to, eh?
49:52Oh, yes.
49:53So, is there anything yet from up top about our overtime payment?
50:30Amen.
