00:00What you got?
00:27Yeah?
00:28Just come and pay me respects.
00:30I heard there was a new face in.
00:32Daily, isn't it?
00:33Charlie done it, mate.
00:34How'd you do?
00:35Yeah.
00:36In growing toenails, right?
00:38Could be a big problem, that.
00:39Oh, no, not in this day.
00:40The last time I was in here, it was about eight years ago.
00:44I had my varicose veins and my chalfonts done.
00:47You ever had your chalfonts seen to?
00:50Oh, wicked, that is.
00:52I've been in them all.
00:55Middlesex, Barts, Whittington.
00:56A cup of tea, love.
01:01Oh, thanks, Dom.
01:05Here we go.
01:06Good morning, all.
01:23And what a lovely morning it is, too.
01:29Anyway, I'm in for my prostate this time.
01:32Prostate?
01:33You got it, prostate.
01:34And it can't come too soon.
01:36I'm up and down all night at the moment.
01:38It's bleak and knackering.
01:40If you wish to smoke, Mr. Daly,
01:42there's a room especially for that nervous down the corridor.
01:45And no alcohol whatsoever until after your operation.
01:49Yeah, she's a right goer, is this one.
01:51Shoo, Mr. Daly, you horrible old man.
01:54Shoo, shoo, shoo.
01:55Right now, you've got a visitor.
01:57One of many, I think you'll find over the next few days, Ness.
02:00Nurse, I do not wish to see these men.
02:09Nurse, nurse!
02:10Shut it, Arthur.
02:11What are you in here for, Daly?
02:13Haven't your wallet removed, is it?
02:15Well, what's the problem?
02:17What amazing crime are we taxpayers subsidising you to solve this time?
02:21Small tin of paint gone missing in Fulham, has it?
02:24Let's turn you right up, Arthur.
02:27Violence not being else seen, exactly.
02:29Violence?
02:29Arthur, I've got this little friend, horrible little beggar he is.
02:34He tells me facts about low-level persons on my manor.
02:38Now, he's a bit slow, like a week behind the news of the world,
02:41but he's very reliable.
02:43What I'm trying to tell you, Arthur,
02:44is the whole of West London knows you were around
02:47when someone frightened Joe Harrison so badly,
02:50he had a massive coronary.
02:52Oh, my good God.
02:53Penny's dropped, sir.
02:54You look all right, Mr. Chisholm.
02:55Look, I was there, I heard a big bang, and I legged it.
02:58I called everyone by the RSPCA.
03:00On my life, I never saw who done it or what happened.
03:03Room for improvement, Arthur.
03:05Oh, come on, Mr. Chisholm.
03:06You know I wouldn't keep shtum about a thing like that.
03:08You might.
03:09If a mate was involved by Tony Apsie.
03:13Do what?
03:13Oh, it's just too cosy for words, isn't it?
03:15An ex-con called Terry McCann plays pool with an ex-con called Tony Apsie.
03:20They both know an old chancer called Daly,
03:22who happens to be present when he aforementioned Apsie's partner, Carxie.
03:26And while I think about it,
03:28how convenient that Apsie was having a day in the country at the time.
03:31I suppose in a few months we'll have all three of you down that warehouse
03:36turning over a nice few quid.
03:37Mr. Chisholm, you've got to be joking.
03:39We're going back to have a few more words with Apsie, Arthur,
03:42while we've got him tucked up down the nick.
03:45Why don't you stay tucked up here, eh?
03:47Like a good boy.
03:48We shall return.
03:49Yeah, well, you were dead right about Chisholm.
03:58He pulled in Tony Apsie first thing.
04:00That's pathetic, isn't it?
04:01He's just trying to get back at Tony for giving him the run-around years ago.
04:04I mean, he knows he wouldn't have anything to do with shooters.
04:11Winchester Club?
04:12Yeah, yeah, I'll pay for the call.
04:16Arthur, for the last time,
04:18will you stop reverting the charges when you call here?
04:22Yeah.
04:23It's for you.
04:27Hello, mate.
04:27You found a nurse of your dreams yet, eh?
04:29I've had Chisholm here.
04:31Yeah, and his druid.
04:34And listen, he knows all about...
04:36You know what?
04:40Yes!
04:41The old bloody world of his wife knows.
04:44Listen, you come over here.
04:45We've got to talk.
04:47Right.
04:48Here we go.
05:13Here we go.
05:14Yeah? What?
05:16Your father wants a word with you.
05:18Is there any news about Joe Harrison?
05:24Peter Neal takes the ride this afternoon as regular...
05:26Nice day out, is it, lads?
05:28You're not bad, Wendy?
05:30No.
05:32Peter Neal takes the ride this afternoon as regular...
05:36Nice day out, is it, lads?
05:38You're not bad, Wendy?
05:40Nice day out, is it, lads?
05:42You're not bad, Wendy?
05:48Now, I ask, you see,
05:50because being an agoraphobic,
05:52I don't get out much.
05:54Still, I've got a few bob.
05:56I don't need to lift a finger.
05:58I care for my friend.
06:02They need my help.
06:04They like a bet.
06:06No tax on the winnings, credit readily available.
06:08What do I get from you lot?
06:10You...
06:12Toe rags!
06:14Who, without me, couldn't get a job in a done heap!
06:16I get a right cocker!
06:18But you'll end up with me losing my telephone numbers.
06:20Dad, look!
06:22Now, you look, son.
06:24If a punter owes me eight grand,
06:26there's no point frightening him to death,
06:28cos then he don't have to pay, get it?
06:30Now then, shoot us.
06:32Oh, Dad, it's me, lb.
06:34Yes, I know it is.
06:36Play with them in your bedroom.
06:38Polish them.
06:40Sleep with them under your pillow.
06:41Try a little Russian roulette, even.
06:43But do not shoot at people who owe me money.
06:46I told him that, Wendy.
06:48Oh, shut up, Harry, it's down to you!
06:50Me?
06:51I'll try to stop him.
06:53Yeah, and you failed, Harry.
06:55Cos you are a bleeding failure, that's why.
06:59You ain't got the proper authority.
07:04So sod off and count money.
07:12Key fee.
07:14Go play on the motorway.
07:22Sammy.
07:23Yes, Wendy.
07:24Find this daily, Geezer.
07:26Have a chat, see what he knows.
07:29I don't want young Keefe in any bother.
07:32And about this brother of Harrison's, Vic or something,
07:35you better find him and all.
07:37Tell him he's inherited a very major debt.
07:44Well, general anaesthetic,
07:46if that goes wrong, you may as well hang up your boots.
07:49You know what I mean.
07:51Here, you've had it before, haven't you?
07:53Uh, well, more or less.
07:54Yeah, well, you just have a bit of a rest then, Sunbeam.
07:57If I don't see you before...
08:00Good luck.
08:01Touch wood.
08:02Oh, you'll be as sick as a dog for a day or so,
08:05but it'll be worth it in the end.
08:07Oh.
08:08Hello, son.
08:09Your dad's in the pink, considering.
08:13He'll be the death of me.
08:14You get my smokes?
08:18Yep.
08:19Hello.
08:20Dad.
08:22Listen, what's all this about Chisholm?
08:23Well, like I said,
08:24he's been in here,
08:25in total disregard for my condition,
08:27trying to shorten my life by making up some conspiracy
08:30between you and me and Tony Apsey.
08:33I wonder how he knew you were there.
08:35Tony would never have told him.
08:37Well, he's boasting about some grass he's got.
08:40No, in Chisholm he probably moseyed at weekends.
08:43Well, someone told him about me, pretty sharpish.
08:46Probably everyone on the manor knows by now,
08:48including whoever ruffled Harrison's feathers.
08:50Yeah, leave that alone.
08:53I want you to put yourself about and drop a few hints
08:55that I know bugger all.
08:57Right?
08:58Oh, right, I'll tell him.
08:59I'll tell him.
09:00Martha Daly knows bugger all.
09:03Here.
09:04You ever had a general anaesthetic?
09:06Yeah, with me tonsils, yeah.
09:08What's it like?
09:09God, I don't know.
09:10There's only a nipper I can't remember.
09:12I think I threw up a lot.
09:14Charming.
09:15Did you get hold of green?
09:17I tried, didn't I?
09:18Kept missing him.
09:19Listen, you're in hospital, right?
09:21You're Chisholm's star witness of the month.
09:23Now, stop worrying about clothes dummies.
09:26Yeah, right.
09:27Sorry.
09:34Right, then.
09:35You off, then?
09:36Yeah, that's right.
09:37Yeah.
09:39Listen, if I don't see you,
09:40good luck tomorrow morning, you know.
09:42Best footboard, eh?
09:46All right?
09:47Right, yeah.
09:48Turn off.
09:49You're a good boy, Terry.
09:51Do what?
09:52Them non-stick pans.
09:53You see, you shift them tomorrow.
09:55If there's time, all right.
09:57If not, you'll have to non-stick them yourself, all right?
09:59Turn off.
10:01All right, tell.
10:02How is the master?
10:03Oh, he's all right.
10:04Well, it's a bit anxious about this Harrison affair, you know.
10:06Oh, yeah.
10:07Any messages?
10:08Yeah, yeah.
10:09A bloke called Green phoned.
10:10After his dummies, whatever that means.
10:11Oh, cobbless.
10:12I've been trying to find him all day.
10:13Did he leave a number?
10:14Afraid not.
10:15He's still got apathy down, eh, Nick?
10:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:17I've just been schlepping all over the manor trying to find some gossip.
10:18Nobody's got a bad word to say about this Harrison bloke.
10:20Nice, quiet geezer.
10:21Like to bet.
10:22Always a bit skim.
10:23Well, it's not grounds for that sort of treatment, is it?
10:24It's all right.
10:25It's all right.
10:26Oh, he's all right.
10:27Well, it's a bit anxious about this Harrison affair, you know.
10:28Oh, yeah.
10:29Any messages?
10:30Yeah, yeah.
10:31A bloke called Green phoned.
10:32After his dummies, whatever that means.
10:33Oh, cobbless.
10:34I've been trying to find him all day.
10:35Did he leave a number?
10:36Afraid not.
10:37He's still got apathy down, eh, Nick?
10:45I've been trying to find him all day.
11:15Dear Terence.
11:18Yeah.
11:19Terry.
11:30Dear Terry, I am writing this in case something happens to me.
11:34You would laugh if you could see me now, but what with Harrison and having this operation,
11:40I seem to have gone a bit morbid.
11:43This is just to say that you have been like a son to me, even though at times I might have
11:59been a bit inconsiderate, but you know what the pressures on the entrepreneur are in this
12:05day and age.
12:06I hope you have enjoyed our long association as much as I have.
12:12Despite...
12:13Despite...
12:14Despite the...
12:17Despite the...
12:18Visicity...
12:19Visicity...
12:20Ups...
12:24And...
12:25Downs.
12:26Good...
12:29Luck...
12:30Your...
12:32Pal...
12:33Arthur.
12:38What the hell are you?
12:55I brought you some flowers, Mr Daly.
12:57Oh, what sort of times do you call this?
12:59Just shut your mouth a minute.
13:03About Joe Harrison.
13:04Oh my God, not that again.
13:07Look, I keep telling everybody.
13:09I don't know nothing.
13:10I've no idea what it was all about.
13:12Look, all I want to do is be left in peace with my ingrained toenails.
13:16I said shut up.
13:17Now, you are going to have to tread very carefully, Mr Daly.
13:22Because if me or my colleagues suffer the teeniest, weeniest inconvenience over the Harrison
13:28business, I will come and find you.
13:31I will get a hold of you.
13:34And I will take you away to my own personal hospital.
13:43Now your light was out.
13:45What on earth is this?
13:47Ah, sorry nurse.
13:48I just had to call on my old friend, Mr Daly, as soon as I learned of his predicament.
13:53I don't care about that.
13:54Mr Daly has an operation first thing in the morning.
13:57And visitors should not be on the ward at this time of night.
14:00Please leave now.
14:01Of course, nurse.
14:02Bye old chap.
14:03Get well soon.
14:04All right, Mr Daly?
14:05Mm-hmm.
14:06Not any good.
14:07That's the lot.
14:08Seems a bleeding sight more than 50 to me.
14:09It's 50, all right.
14:10I counted everyone down those warehouse stairs in the dark.
14:11Oh dear.
14:12You have got some bottle, haven't you girl?
14:13I've got to keep things ticking over while Tony's out of action.
14:14I'll spend some time in a nick, you know.
14:15Could all have been different if I had a little grafter like you on the outside.
14:16Well, he's never too late at this time of night at this time of night.
14:17Please leave now.
14:18Of course, nurse.
14:19Bye old chap.
14:20Get well soon.
14:21All right, Mr Daly?
14:22All right, Mr Daly?
14:23I'll spend some time in a nick, you know.
14:25Could all have been different if I had a little grafter like you on the outside.
14:28Well, it's never too late, Tell.
14:30Nah, the ****.
14:31Hello?
14:32Yep.
14:33What?
14:34Wait, look.
14:35Arthur, Arthur, calm down, will you?
14:36I can't understand the words you're saying, mate.
14:37Ah.
14:38All right, all right, all right.
14:39I'll be right over.
14:40Arthur's had a little turn.
14:42Something went bump in the night.
14:45What?
14:46What, what?
14:47What was that?
14:49You know what's the name of Arthur?
14:50What would you say?
14:53Arthur, Arthur, calm down will you?
14:54I can't understand the words you're saying, mate.
14:57Ah.
14:59You all right, all right, all right, I'll be right over.
15:01Arthur's had a little turn.
15:02Something went bump in the night.
15:03What the bloody hell he got in there?
15:15You're not taking that in.
15:17You're supposed to frighten him, yeah?
15:19I'll frighten the bastard, all right.
15:21Hey, look at this butt.
15:23Took me all weekend to polish that.
15:26Gonna carve this eagle's head on it.
15:29Put it away, for God's sake.
15:33Let's go.
16:03All right.
16:07Excuse me.
16:17Mr Harrison, Arthur Daly.
16:20Your partner probably mentioned me.
16:21Oh, yeah, he did.
16:23Unfortunately, he's had to pop out.
16:24Oh, any good?
16:26Oh, no, no.
16:27You can borrow me a pin, though.
16:29Oh, no, no.
16:30They're down the other end.
16:31Oh.
16:35Here we are.
16:37There's the Terry Wogan's over here and the Angela Rippon's here.
16:40Angela Rippon?
16:40Never.
16:42Yeah, well, they were done a few years back.
16:43Oh, they're spot on.
16:44I want 25 of each.
16:53There was a mention of a deposit.
16:55Oh, yes, yes, yes.
16:56Tony Absey did mention that.
16:58A century or clear the air.
16:59Understood.
17:00Understood.
17:01There we are.
17:07Look, I'm going into hospital for a bit,
17:09so a colleague of mine will come and pick him up.
17:11Oh, nothing serious, I hope.
17:13No, no, no, no, no, just a bit of major surgery.
17:16Oh, nasty.
17:17Oh, no, no, no, not in this day and age.
17:19Piece of cake.
17:21Hang on, I'll just get that.
17:22All right, fine.
17:31Yeah?
17:33Yeah, speaking.
17:35Mm-hmm.
17:37Yeah.
17:38Yeah, okay, pal, I'll sort that out.
17:43I've got a message from Wendy.
17:55You are our Saracen.
18:01Whoa!
18:01Whoa!
18:01Whoa!
18:13Mr. Harrison?
18:28Mr. Harrison?
18:33Oh, my good God.
18:37Oh, bloody move it, will you?
18:38Well, is everything all right up there?
18:39Look, I've done the business, okay, so let's get out of here, right?
18:43Oh, my God.
18:47Sodded.
18:50I know that face.
18:52Arthur Daly.
18:53What the hell is he doing round here?
18:55It was just me and Harrison.
18:57Oh, no, it wasn't, son.
18:58I just saw Daly legging it out of that warehouse.
19:01What happened up there?
19:03Well, Harrison gave me some bother, so I just...
19:05I flashed the suit around.
19:06I mean, silly sod fainted or something.
19:08There was a phone box round the corner,
19:10and I'd done a 999 from there.
19:12And Tony wasn't at the warehouse.
19:13Hmm.
19:14He popped out.
19:15Well, who's Tony?
19:16Tony Hapseed, he's a mate of mine.
19:17He partnered with Harrison.
19:19I put Arthur on to him when I knew he wanted those dummies.
19:21Yeah, and look what you landed me in.
19:22Yeah.
19:23Oh, Tony used to be a bit of a tear away, right,
19:25but he's straight now.
19:27I mean, he's got a fridge freezer,
19:28fiancée the lot.
19:29What about Harrison?
19:31Well, fingers crossed, he's all right.
19:32But you reckon the gun never touched him?
19:34Well, not as far as I could tell, no.
19:36But all them models were all shot up,
19:38heads all over the place.
19:39It was like a bomb had gone off.
19:40And the noise those things make,
19:42oh, it really turned me up.
19:44And me about to undergo major surgery.
19:45Don't forget, no mention of Daley or the gun.
20:09I think you ought to be told about it, Daley.
20:11It might be important.
20:14You work for my old man.
20:16Now, he loves his son.
20:17He'd do anything for him, right?
20:19You start flapping your mouth,
20:21and I'll drop you right in it.
20:22I want two-to-one against.
20:41Yeah, that's right.
20:42You want charity?
20:44You have a bet round your local Oxfam shop.
20:50You there, mate.
20:52I want two grand at threes,
20:53rocket to Russia,
20:55Doncaster 330.
20:57Yeah.
20:58Well, thank you, mate.
20:59The horse that's just walked through the picture
21:02is the grey farmer's friend.
21:05How much has he got, mate?
21:07Take it, mate.
21:08Take it.
21:09No, he's not up to anything.
21:12No, he's a mud punter.
21:17It's the weather like Harry.
21:18Oh, it's not bad, Wendy.
21:22Want to spin in the motor, Dad?
21:23No, Tarzan.
21:25No.
21:26Nice of you to think of it.
21:28Doctor said you ought to make an effort, Dad.
21:29Yeah, well, they're wrong.
21:31Going outside makes me ill.
21:33All that space,
21:34all that bloody light.
21:35If I stick indoors,
21:36I'd keep my bloody health.
21:37I don't care what they say.
21:39Yeah, whatever you say, Dad.
21:41Now, then,
21:42Mr Harrison got our money, has he?
21:46Not as yet.
21:47No, but I had a word.
21:50Expect a result by the end of the week.
21:52Oh, good boy.
21:53Did he say when?
21:54No.
21:55No, but I'm going to call back tomorrow.
21:56You gave him a bit of a smack,
21:58didn't you, Keefy?
22:02Anything to add, Harry?
22:05No, Wendy, no.
22:17All right, Deplakevitz.
22:28The master has arrived.
22:30Hi, Tal.
22:31Hey, you don't look too pleased to see your team, Captain.
22:33Where you been all day?
22:34I took the day off.
22:35I drove out to Essex.
22:36It's quite a lunch.
22:37Hi, Sandra.
22:37Why, what's up?
22:38I've got to talk to you.
22:39It's important.
22:40I'm sorry, mate.
22:41The game's off.
22:42Hey, what are you doing?
22:43Well, it will forfeit a match.
22:47It's about Joe, and it's important.
22:49It's serious.
22:50Now, come on, on your bike.
22:54Come on, love.
23:02Out, back, now.
23:04Please, Mr. Chisholm, not here.
23:05Be a good boy, Dermot.
23:10Hey, you're coming in a bit, tabbing me in here.
23:12Pleading on, Mr. Chisholm, this is me local.
23:14Oh, in which case, let me congratulate you on your exquisite taste.
23:18Ah, do me a favour, will you?
23:24Now, look here, Dermot, my hairy friend.
23:27This is very important.
23:29In fact, if I suspect you of withholding information,
23:31I'm going to take you round the saloon bar
23:32and introduce you as my best snout.
23:34And we'll poodle over to your drum
23:36and find out what you're smoking these days.
23:38Yeah, all right, all right, all right.
23:39But I'm not promising anything, right?
23:42Joe Harrison.
23:44Oh, you've heard about him, have you?
23:46Yes, funny.
23:46That, er...
23:47I heard a whisper about him today.
23:48What, Dermot?
23:50I don't know.
23:51Something about some bother he had.
23:52Somebody let off a gun.
23:54Let off a gun.
23:55Yeah.
23:55Guess what?
23:56He dropped dead.
23:58Heart attack.
23:58Wow.
23:59What a way with words you have, Dermot.
24:02All right.
24:07What was Harrison into?
24:09I don't know.
24:11He was straight.
24:12He had this firm with Tony Apsey, see?
24:13Selling clothes dummies.
24:15Yeah.
24:16Tony Apsey.
24:18I never could understand why he let that tear away into his firm.
24:22Look, Apsey's straight now.
24:24Everyone knows that.
24:25Oh, do they, Dermot?
24:26I don't know that.
24:27As far as I'm concerned, Tony Apsey is a right blot on my limited horizons.
24:33All right, all right.
24:33Let's imagine just for one second that it wasn't Tony Apsey who frightened Harrison to death.
24:39All right, then.
24:41Who the bleedin' hell was it?
24:42I don't know!
24:42Look, all I know is there was some of the old Sarah at the time.
24:48A face called Daly.
24:50Arthur or something, all right?
24:53Arthur Daly.
24:54Yeah.
24:56Arthur Daly?
24:58Yeah, well, that's why he was heard.
24:59Why?
24:59Who is he?
25:00Are you cheating me up or something, you hairy animal?
25:03Well, you'll hear from him, Mr. Chisholm, will you?
25:04Why don't you ask Mr. Apsey who was here?
25:06He'll tell you what I could.
25:08Oh, I will.
25:10You bank on that.
25:11Hey!
25:18How's about a drink, then?
25:24Huh.
25:26Heavy.
25:32What happened, love?
25:33I don't believe it.
25:35Apparently he just...
25:36He just died.
25:38I mean, I know he had a dodgy ticker, but...
25:40Now, some bastard slag come round there, and...
25:43I've got to talk to Arthur, Terry.
25:45I want to know what happened.
25:46Yeah, but I told you all he saw, Tony.
25:47That's a full strength.
25:49You two got anywhere you can stay?
25:51You've guaranteed your mother's, eh?
25:52But why?
25:53What for?
25:54Give yourself a bit of time.
25:55The first thing they're going to do is pull him.
25:57Well, why?
25:57He hasn't done anything.
25:58He was with me all day.
26:00Oh, they're right, love.
26:01You see, Tony's got form.
26:03Oh, I don't believe it.
26:04They were mates.
26:05Oh, you try telling shit on that.
26:06Now, it's my guts.
26:27Every time I nodded off, I heard that gun again.
26:30That's going to be with me till the day I...
26:33I'm a mental and physical wreck.
26:35We're in the right place, aren't you?
26:37Oh!
26:38Oh, sorry, mate.
26:39Sorry.
26:41You ought to get them plates seen to.
26:51Now, keep trying that number I gave you.
26:54The bloke you want to talk to is Mr Green.
26:57Tell him there's been a slight hiccup over the closed tummies.
27:00And I'm just off a couple of days' major surgery.
27:03And I'll get back to him on Friday.
27:08Right.
27:09Here we are.
27:11What?
27:12Well, this is where you get changed, Mr Daly.
27:14I'll go make sure your bed's ready.
27:16All you'll need are your dressing gown, pyjamas and slippers.
27:19Sure, your friend, dear, I'll take your day clothes home.
27:21Oh, of course.
27:21Yeah, don't forget, I'm private.
27:23Yes, Mr Daly.
27:24You mentioned it.
27:25I'm with Farnley.
27:26Who am I?
27:27Personal health and treatment indemnity.
27:30Oh.
27:31Well, right, here we go.
27:42Oh.
27:42Now, where was I?
27:54Oh, yeah, the lock-up.
27:57Now, I want you to go there every morning, 10 to 11, pick up the mail and take any phone calls.
28:04Now, if I cry it out loud, write it all down on a piece of paper.
28:08After that, the Winchester mail and phone calls.
28:11Oh, God, there's not much room in here, isn't there?
28:14And mail and phone calls, just the same.
28:17Then refer to the tight list of jobs I've given you.
28:19Number one priority is those non-stick pans.
28:23Get them out from behind a Portuguese vodka.
28:27Leave them handy near the door.
28:29Now, there's no restriction on visiting hours for private patients.
28:32But her in the middle school, of course, likes a routine.
28:37So she's coming in from 6 o'clock till 10 past every night.
28:41Every night?
28:42Of course.
28:43Oh, and if a Mrs. South from Amersmith phones about her Azure Draylon, tell her to hang on.
28:54Not sexy South from Amersmith with a grey, huge...
28:58Don't you dare mention sexy Mrs. South to, you know, indoors.
29:04This is strictly business.
29:06Oh.
29:09What's the matter?
29:11Nothing.
29:11Nothing.
29:11You look really, um, nice.
29:35Well, it's nice, isn't it?
29:37Look, what's this supposed to be?
29:38Where's the telly and the phone?
29:39I subscribe to a very expensive private patient scheme.
29:43Yes, I know.
29:44But this is where the hospital administrator has put you, and there's nothing I can do about it.
29:47Off.
29:48Yeah, but I'm just a kidney stone throw...
29:50Throw away from that big public wall.
29:52I'll be over there and snoring all night.
29:54No, leave off.
29:54It's not her fault, is it?
29:55I'll mention it to Sister.
29:57She might be able to get something to come in and talk to you about it.
30:01Er, but, er...
30:02Not a word about the special menu for private patients.
30:05Depressing, isn't it?
30:08Mm.
30:09I mean, when you think about it, this is the last place that a lot of people ever get to see.
30:12Not even a cup of tea until after the operation.
30:19And you know how I like to kick off in a day with a cooked meal.
30:22I mean, look at the time.
30:23I mean, it's not even seven.
30:25All us poor, sick people, brutally awoken and starved.
30:29I think they had my number as soon as I came in here.
30:31They said that guy is perfectly fit.
30:33No kip and no nosh for him.
30:35Oi, are you asleep?
30:37Mum, mum.
30:38Morning all.
30:39Oh, of course.
30:41Here.
30:42You look awful.
30:43Go, my little ray of sunshine.
30:45You can tell it's your first time.
30:46You got that back to fruit.
30:47Now, get off.
30:49Good morning, Mr Bailey.
30:50How are you this morning?
30:51The name is Daly.
30:53Here, it's Mr Hills, isn't it?
30:55Oh, you're all right here, Arthur.
30:57He fixed me chalf once a treat.
30:59You remember me, Mr Hills?
31:00Well, I'm afraid your face wouldn't mean a lot to me.
31:03Now then, feeling fit, Mr Bailey?
31:05Awful.
31:06Splendid.
31:06We're going to take you to an ante-room where you'll be given an injection which will make
31:10you feel rather woozy.
31:11Shortly after that, you'll be in the operating theatre, and the next thing you know, it'll
31:15be all over.
31:16Eh?
31:16All right, Mr Bailey?
31:18Look, look, the name is Daly.
31:19D-A-L-E-Y.
31:21And it is my foot.
31:22My right foot.
31:23Could we get that straight?
31:24Jolly good.
31:25Carry on, nurse.
31:25Thank you, everybody.
31:26And will you wake up?
31:34We've got to talk.
31:36What?
31:37Well, I want to know what plans you've made for my personal protection.
31:41Oh, yes.
31:42Um, well, I phoned Chisholm, I've told him you've been threatened, and he said he couldn't
31:46spare any men for the time being, especially in view of your lack of cooperation.
31:50But he might try and poppy them himself if he's got a minute.
31:53That's nice, isn't it?
31:53I might as well donate my poor little body to science now.
31:56Let it sit butchery holes, leaves any of it in one piece.
31:59Look, if it will stay awake long enough, I want you to get out and earn a crust.
32:02Find out where Chisholm got this gossip from.
32:05And get him off my back.
32:06Oh, is that all?
32:07Yeah.
32:08Off we go, Mr Day.
32:14Terry.
32:16Do you, uh, do you believe in, um, you know, what's it?
32:19Oh, the governor.
32:21Go on.
32:23Oh, will you wake up?
32:31Just a little prick.
32:33He's got a lovely smile, though, hasn't he?
32:35Oh!
32:37Hey, come on, you're not allowed in here.
32:39Detective Sergeant Chisholm, Detective Constable Jones.
32:42Hilda, very important I have a word with Mr Daly.
32:45He's just had a pre-med.
32:46One minute is all my need.
32:47I'll take full responsibility.
32:48Do you have any much, sirs?
32:50Yes.
32:51Well, Daly, these alleged threats...
32:55What do you mean, alleged?
32:56Well, it's very convenient, isn't it?
32:57This mysterious person turning up at this juncture,
33:01wasting a police time is a very serious matter, Daly.
33:03Bill, you always take it very seriously, Mr Chisholm.
33:07Right.
33:08Description.
33:09Description?
33:10Of the alleged perpetrator of the alleged threats.
33:14Daly, I'm going to lose my rag.
33:37Leave it out.
33:38He's just had a jab, hasn't he?
33:39Oh, do not lose your rag, Chisholm.
33:42A man without his rag is not a man.
33:46Chisholm.
33:47Chisholm.
33:48Terry, Terry, you there?
33:50Yeah, I'm here, yeah.
33:51Oh, just had this fantastic idea.
33:54Yeah, bloody good stuff.
33:55We're going to get some out.
33:57I've had enough of this.
33:58When he comes round, out of orbit,
34:00I'm going to settle him for good.
34:02Hold on, Chisholm.
34:05Listen, I've got to go, mate.
34:06You'll be all right.
34:07Out of there.
34:10Oi.
34:11Oi, Chisholm.
34:15You two are right in it.
34:17You know that, McKen.
34:18You know half I wouldn't make up a story like that.
34:21The thing is, it lets Apsi off the hook, doesn't it?
34:23And you can't stand it.
34:25You'd better go back to your grass
34:26and get the full strength, son.
34:28What's that supposed to mean?
34:29Oh, come on.
34:33Look, he's got to know who rattled Harrison, hasn't he?
34:35He's the biggest smile on the manor.
34:38He takes Ernest from both sides
34:39and gives you the right run around.
34:41Your time is coming, McKen.
34:43Yeah.
34:47This is about Mr David's bed.
34:49I think it's for you.
34:50I'm sorry.
34:59Oh, bloody hell.
35:04What is it now, then?
35:06I had a very nasty rumour
35:07about a grass who's keeping secrets
35:10from his friend, the policeman.
35:13See you, Mr Chisholm.
35:16Now, you've got to convince me those rumours are wrong.
35:19Else I'll move Heaven and Hammersmith Broadway
35:21to put you away.
35:22I'm sorry.
35:52Nice bike.
36:15Who are you?
36:18Detective Sergeant Chisholm.
36:22Now, is he a mate or is it just business?
36:25No, no, no.
36:25Stay there.
36:27That is Cosa.
36:29You told him that Arthur Daly was at Harrison's, right?
36:31Now, all I want to know is who told you.
36:33Get stuff out of there.
36:36God, that's nice, isn't it?
36:38It's lovely.
36:40Did you draw it yourself?
36:41Yeah.
36:42It's amazing, isn't it?
36:43I wouldn't have thought that you could draw breath.
36:46Look, it's Harry Martin you want, not me.
36:48Who's Harry Martin?
36:51Oh, come on, son.
36:53I mean, wouldn't it be a shame, eh?
36:55What's he?
36:56What are you two?
36:57What are you two?
36:57Oh, my God.
37:27Welcome back to the land of the living, Mr. Daly.
37:55Living?
37:55We can have a nice little rest now.
37:58Letter.
38:00In the locker.
38:01Yes, don't you worry about that.
38:03I gave it to the young man.
38:04We nearly forgot it, didn't we?
38:06You gave it to him?
38:08Yeah.
38:09Oh, my God.
38:11He'll make my life a bloody misery.
38:25Yeah?
38:35Tell him I can.
38:36Who wants him?
38:38The name's Vic Harrison.
38:39Joe Harrison's brother.
38:41He was straight as a die, was Joe?
38:43Good as gold.
38:45He grafted at his work.
38:46It was good to his missus.
38:48A couple of pints on a Saturday night and he couldn't wait to get home.
38:51He did like a bet now.
38:52As far back as I can remember.
38:55Trouble is, it got so bad.
38:57He couldn't walk past a bedding shop.
39:00No, Gumbler's anonymous.
39:01At his first meeting, he had them taking bets on who owed the most money.
39:06If he chased Crumpet instead, he'd be alive today.
39:09Did he owe a lot?
39:11About eight grand.
39:11He got in with his bent bookie, called Wendy.
39:17Wendy?
39:18Who's she?
39:20He, son.
39:21He.
39:23Albert Wendell.
39:24Twenty stone of short-ass nastiness.
39:27He's agoraphobic.
39:29That don't mean he hates agro.
39:30He loves it.
39:32He means he bottles if he leaves his gaff.
39:34Does all his business on the phone.
39:36Uses people like Harry Martin to run his messages.
39:39That's the case I've been looking for.
39:41Well, the slate's clean now, isn't it?
39:45No, it ain't.
39:47A couple of months ago, he took me to see Wendy.
39:50He needed me to guarantee more credit.
39:52The only way he could see was to carry on punting.
39:56Oh, bloody madness.
39:58That's why I legged it to Glasgow.
40:00Because I knew Wendy would be after me.
40:03Why'd you come back?
40:04I ain't the Lone Ranger, and I ain't going to live in Glasgow.
40:08I heard you were a friend of Apsis.
40:10So I thought you might help me to sort out things with that fat bastard.
40:15Tell him I've got a couple of grand together.
40:17But he's got to collect in person.
40:25I've come to see Wendy about Harrison.
40:29You deaf or something?
40:30I don't know.
40:30What are you playing at, Sammy?
40:49You're bringing strangers in here.
40:51It's about Harrison.
40:52I'm a friend of Arthur Daly's.
40:55I see.
40:57Mr. Daly sent you round here to screw a little bonus out of me for shutting his yap, did he?
41:03Well, I call that an insult.
41:05So I'm just going to have to ask Sammy here to break your arms.
41:09Great.
41:10Hold on, hold on.
41:11Look, look.
41:12I haven't come here for a handout, all right?
41:15I've come with a message from Vic Harrison.
41:18He wants to settle up.
41:20But he's only going to do it if you turn up in person, right?
41:23Since what happened to his brother, his bottle's gone completely.
41:25And he don't trust these deadheads unless you're with him.
41:28I've got to go ahead.
41:29That's all right, Dad.
41:30Drive will do you good.
41:32I'll phone you when I know the where and when.
41:34Does Mr. Harris intend to settle the entire debt?
41:38Now, you must be Harry Martin.
41:41Now, this is a gentleman who spoke to a rather well-known grass called Dermot
41:45and told him all about what happened at the warehouse.
41:48Good day, gentlemen.
41:52You tons.
41:54Why did you do a thing like that, Harry?
41:57Now, look here, Wendy.
41:57I didn't name no names.
41:59I knew Daly had seen Keith.
42:02So I thought if the bill pick up Keith through Daly,
42:05there won't be any comeback on us.
42:07I don't believe this.
42:09Dad?
42:09You want my Keithy put away, did you?
42:12Why?
42:13Because he's a right little prat.
42:16He's thick, he's lazy, he costs us money,
42:18and he makes me bloody puke.
42:20What?
42:22Here, Dad, you're going to let him say stuff like that?
42:24So that's what you think about my son, is it?
42:27What do you think about him, Sammy?
42:30Well, Wendy, basically, I agree.
42:35Personally, I think he's a right worm.
42:39Dad?
42:39They let Tony Apsi go this morning.
42:43Yeah, I know.
42:45How do you know?
42:46Because I phoned Chisholm, didn't I?
42:48Eh?
42:48Dropped Wendy right in it.
42:50Told him I was at the warehouse on that day.
42:52Saw everything.
42:53So what are we doing here, then?
42:56Because Chisholm will be here in a minute,
42:58and I want to be on the spot when he nicks that fat slug.
43:00As far as I'm concerned, he killed Joe.
43:04I wouldn't give him a penny, even if I had it.
43:08Hold on.
43:09Here we go.
43:10Here we go.
43:10Here we go.
43:10Here we go.
43:14In the middle!
43:26Bastard.
43:28Little bastard.
43:30As soon as he's paid up.
43:33Have them both.
43:36So where's the bold Chisholm, then, eh?
43:38What's the name of this ground again?
43:41Terrific.
43:41Terrific.
43:44All right, Harrison.
43:50You've taken years off my life.
43:53Where's my money?
43:57How does £2.75 grab you?
44:00You piece of rubbish.
44:02Sammy.
44:02You.
44:14Let me in!
44:20Let me in!
44:30You nearly scored a try, son.
44:32Well, they do call it a rut, don't, mate?
44:44You all right?
44:45Hello, yeah.
44:46Oh, that's nice.
44:47He's looking well, isn't he?
44:48Yeah, yeah.
44:50For the members of the Winchester camp, isn't he?
44:52Nice one, isn't it?
44:53Here you go.
44:53A bit of bits of beans.
44:54Oh, lovely.
44:55I've got a drink for you, you know.
44:56Oh, thank God.
44:57Oh, Terry.
44:59Yeah, well, we saw her indoors leaving.
45:01She looked a bit down in her mouth.
45:02Yeah, I sent her off with a flyer here.
45:04She only made me some sausage sandwiches.
45:06I left them on the old table.
45:07Oh, dear.
45:09You all right, Terry?
45:11Yeah, why?
45:12Oh, I just wondered, that's all.
45:15Tony Absey's out the neck, half of it.
45:16Yeah, I know.
45:17So, you're OK, eh?
45:19Shouldn't I be?
45:21Um, well, hospital, you know, it does funny things to people.
45:24It gets them going.
45:25It sets them thinking.
45:27It's a stress.
45:29And, I mean, they say things, or perhaps write things.
45:35Apparently, Wendell's son came right in.
45:37Put them all in the frame.
45:39Shot his own dad.
45:40Amazing.
45:41Well, I've certainly had an education today.
45:44This has taught me a lot.
45:45Well, apparently, my finer feelings count for nothing.
45:48You haven't had one of those injections or something?
45:50It's amazing.
45:51It is incredible.
45:53You'd tell a chuckle to that, would you?
45:54Yeah, yeah.
45:55Yeah.
45:57Oh, listen.
45:59That nurse gave me a note from you,
46:00but I lost it in a ruck or something.
46:03You mean, you never read it?
46:06Hmm.
46:07Didn't have time.
46:08That was only about those non-stick frying pans, wasn't it?
46:10Ah, spot on.
46:11You shifted them, Terry?
46:13Well, the job's rolling on satisfactorily.
46:15No, no, that is not good enough.
46:18Come in.
46:21Ah, Mr. Daly.
46:22Fowler, hospital administration.
46:25Might I have a word?
46:26Indeed you might, Mr. Fowler.
46:28Would you mind hanging about outside for a moment, lads?
46:30Yeah, well, see you in a minute.
46:32Yeah.
46:33I've been waiting to complain about my accommodation.
46:35Quite.
46:36But I'm afraid I have some rather bad news, Mr. Daly.
46:40How do you mean?
46:41Well, in the first year of your particular scheme,
46:44the insurance company is only responsible for emergency operations.
46:48Mr. Anderson, please go to x-ray.
46:51So, you see, I must ask you for some surety of payment for your operation before you're discharged.
46:58I understand, yeah.
47:00Oh, no, no, no problem, no problem.
47:01Um, on your way out, would you mind asking my colleagues to pop back in?
47:05Yeah.
47:10Mr. Daly would like to see you.
47:13Yes.
47:13Mr. Daly would like to see you.
47:43Mr. Daly, you were supposed to be out of midget.
47:54Mr. Daly, you were supposed to be out of midget.
48:13Mr. Daly?
48:15No, straight up.
48:16I can still feel them.
48:18It's like, it's like when you have something off, you know, you can still feel it.
48:21Are you telling me you can still feel your toenails?
48:23Yeah.
48:23You feel that?
48:24Terry!
48:26No, no, no, no.
48:26It is a well-known phenomenon.
48:28Oh.
48:28Yeah.
48:29It's a phantom ingrown toenail.
48:31Terry.
48:32Ah, hello, mate.
48:34What can I say, mate?
48:35Oh, you one.
48:36That's all right.
48:36Did Green pick up those dummies there, Kate?
48:39Ah, dummies.
48:41Have I said something?
48:42No, no, it's nothing.
48:43Terry, how much?
48:45It's nothing.
48:46My peanuts.
48:48Hardly covered me expenses.
48:50You taking a...
48:51Michael?
48:52Nah, there's a little drink in it for you, isn't there?
48:54Of course there is.
48:56There you go, cock and hen, all right?
48:58Tenor?
48:58Yeah, might as well knock it out.
49:00Hey, come on, Dave.
49:01Yeah, Terry.
49:01Come back.
