04:18Scotsman.
04:19What about him?
04:20He wouldn't approve.
04:22Make a deal with you.
04:23Yeah?

05:43Cold?
05:43Vitamin C.
05:44Oh, no.
05:46Buck's fizz.
05:47Third bottle tonight.
05:49I've got Harry and Joe in there.
05:51That's ambitious.
05:52Four drinks.
05:53Tough luck.
05:54How was dinner?
05:55Oh.
05:57Boozy?
05:57Yeah.
05:58I guess.
05:59Come on, Ray.
06:01Ah, no.
06:04Oh, no.
06:06Oh, it's not fair.
06:08What, do you want a float?
06:09He's running the living room.
06:10No, no, it's all right.
06:10I've got to go.
06:14Be good.
06:16You don't give me much choice, do you?
06:23Four five to base, over.
06:25Go ahead, four five.
06:27You were bleeping me.
06:28Were we?
06:30Well, it wasn't the hiccups.
06:33Hang on, four five.
06:37Four five.
06:39Yeah, still here.
06:41Proceed immediately to house reference Tango Foxtrot 2.
06:45Hobbo duties.
06:45That's Bodie's job.
06:48Operative taken out.
06:51L?
06:52That's what I said.
06:56Roger 2-4.
06:57This gate will be open, right?
07:09As soon as we've got the lorry, in through here.
07:22Wide enough?
07:23Plenty.
07:24About a quarter of a mile, there's a turn.
07:25Sheep, cattle?
07:26No, no, crops.
07:28After the turn, it doubles back onto the B road.
07:31Another 300 yards, it joins up with a feed into the motorway.
07:35Bob's your uncle.
07:36Yeah.
07:36Well, what do you think?
07:39Nice possibilities.
07:40It is terrific.
07:42How do we stop the lorry?
07:43Crash.
07:44A real one?
07:45Nah.
07:46Basket.
07:48Clouds of steam?
07:49Radiator cracked?
07:50Chicken blood?
07:51Why not?
07:52I've seen it.
07:53So?
07:54Too chancey.
07:55Passer-by gets curious, picks up a telephone.
07:57Harry, it is perfect.
07:59If it is, we can always come back to it.
08:07I hate to see the police in cars like that.
08:09It's too good for them.
08:10You've got to have some power to catch all those villains.
08:12It's not right.
08:14Time was if Bobby called you sir.
08:16You what?
08:16It's true.
08:18We're going to the Gigi's on Saturday.
08:20What else?
08:20With my new jockey making his debut?
08:22Of course, I forgot.
08:23Any good?
08:24Could be another Willie Shoemaker.
08:26Oh, yeah?
08:27He's a leery little bastard.
08:29You know the first race, I offered him 1,200 quid.
08:31You know what he said?
08:32No, man, I don't race for a penny under 1,000.
08:37Maybe he races better than he figures, eh?
08:39I certainly hope so.
08:40This is it.
08:41It's due, Roy.
08:42Well due.
08:43Out of the car.
08:43Well, just begging to be took.
08:56What did I tell you?
08:57There's two in the car, Harry.
08:58They must have shooters.
09:00Now, one's from the agency, the other's a security guard.
09:0255 and not too clever on his pins.
09:05Be like taking cherries from a kid.
09:07Well, I like to do something for the old country.
09:09What?
09:10It appeals to my sense of patriotism.
09:12Teach him a little lesson, eh?
09:12Well, Karl Marx wouldn't approve.
09:16But Harry Walters does.
09:22Good morning.
09:24Is it?
09:25Oh, don't be like that, mate.
09:27Brought you some nice hot coffee.
09:29Thought you were ill.
09:30Hey, you should have seen me.
09:31Yeah, you're right, I should.
09:33I'll tell you, Ray, you wouldn't believe it.
09:34It was so bad.
09:37Couldn't even get into bed.
09:38Who's?
09:41Seen anything?
09:42Nah, curtains haven't flapped once.
09:44Oh, the old man's not going to like that.
09:47Well, the old Mac can do the other thing.
09:49Oh.
09:53Ah, seven little dwarfs sitting in the bath, all feeling happy.
09:56Happy good hour?
09:57Your fit comfy.
09:59You put that trace in.
10:01Feed the diplomatic place.
10:03Yeah.
10:04Name's Merhart.
10:05Joseph Merhart.
10:07Embassy?
10:07Yeah.
10:08Commercial side.
10:09I saw him run at Debbie and Mandy's place.
10:12So?
10:13Potential security risk.
10:14What, Mandy?
10:16Positive vetting.
10:17She works for the Ministry of Defence.
10:19Come on.
10:19The only secret she knows is the date for Morning Cloud's next refit.
10:23You know it.
10:23Nonetheless.
10:24No, the nation dozes while diligent Doyle doesn't.
10:29Alliteration, they call that, by the way.
10:31Oh, is it?
10:32I want to know more about Merhart.
10:36Alpha one to four five.
10:39Four five.
10:40You seen three seven anywhere?
10:42No.
10:44No.
10:44Alpha one, not this morning.
10:46I saw him last night.
10:47I'm not interested in last night.
10:49When you see him, tell him I want him.
10:51Soonest.
10:52Roger, Alpha one.
10:55Cool.
10:55Got a great blimp out of here, mate.
10:57Look at this.
11:02She's got a lovely full lotus.
11:05What are you going in tonight?
11:06Uh, pink thing, I think.
11:07It's all right, isn't it?
11:08It'll be fine.
11:10Jay's dues are pretty formal.
11:11Oh, salmon and strawberries on the ancestral lawn.
11:14And it's your turn to do the sitting room.
11:16I hadn't forgotten.
11:17Good.
11:18Shame about friend Doyle last night.
11:20Oh, you're telling me.
11:22Damn bleeper.
11:23He's not a doctor, is he?
11:24No, he's some sort of policeman.
11:26Police?
11:27Well, I didn't talk about it much.
11:28I'm not really sure.
11:29Police, but not police, if you see what I mean.
11:32Six overseas phone calls to that number.
11:35From last Saturday tonight to first thing Tuesday.
11:38Where from?
11:39Libya.
11:40Bangazi.
11:43Bengazi in my day.
11:45One of the colonel's killer squads.
11:46Could be.
11:48Have you got an intercept on the calls?
11:50A good friend in the post office.
11:52No movement in or out since 0900 hours Tuesday, and the phone doesn't answer.
11:57Why?
11:58Who else is in the building?
11:59Asians mainly.
12:00A few Arab students.
12:02Let's go and take a look.
12:04Why not?
12:05The two of you.
12:06Low profile.
12:08Abodee, that means...
12:09Yes, I do know what that means, sir.
12:12Go then.
12:16Morning, Harry.
12:18Roy.
12:20It's good to see you.
12:21So, how are things going?
12:23Got to be Monday, has it?
12:25Yes.
12:26Why, is that any bother?
12:27No.
12:27It was Tuesday, I could...
12:29Young man.
12:31Yes, Mr. Arthur.
12:32These croissants are not fresh.
12:33Oh, but sir...
12:34Look, Sunshine, I used to work in a bakery once.
12:36Now, those are yesterday's heated up.
12:38I would like some fresh ones.
12:40You understand?
12:41Yes, Mr. Arthur.
12:45How are you saying?
12:46If it was Tuesday, I could get Dusty Rhodes to do the driving.
12:50He's the top wheelman.
12:51I know Dusty Rhodes.
12:52Now, what's happening on Monday that's so important, he can't do this?
12:55He's in the nick.
12:56Monday, he comes up for bail.
12:59That's a good reason.
13:00Will he get the bail?
13:01Yes, he'll get it.
13:03The fix is in.
13:07All right.
13:07I'll have a word around, see if I can get the job postponed.
13:11I mean, after all, we're doing them a favor.
13:15There's no reason why they shouldn't do us one.
13:17There is just one other thing.
13:18Fresh croissant.
13:19Is this the water?
13:21Thank you, Andrew.
13:25He is a nice man.
13:27What'll it cost me?
13:29Your one other thing.
13:31Funny you should say that.
13:32Hilarious.
13:34Dusty's bail.
13:34How much?
13:36Four big ones.
13:37Top whack.
13:39You know, sometimes I get the impression I'm financing the bloody space program now, do you?
13:43The flat side of the side are now empty.
13:52Good hunting.
13:52Good hunting.
13:52Good hunting.
14:03Hello.
14:04Hello.
14:05What's your name?
14:06Abbie.
14:06What's yours?
14:07George.
14:07George, who?
14:08That's right.
14:16Starting off the stairs now.
14:17Yeah, I know.
14:31Yeah, I know.
15:41Who else we got speaks Arab?
15:447-1.
15:46Due in on the noon flight from Cairo.
15:48Whistle them out here straight away.
15:50Tell them it's a babysitting job.
15:52Sound all right, Dusty?
16:11Yeah, that's all right.
16:11Battery, plugs, points, anything else?
16:17Brakes.
16:17Brakes, yeah.
16:19Well, that's it.
16:20Well learned.
16:21Good teacher.
16:24Fresh air.
16:26Smells sweet, doesn't it?
16:27Yeah.
16:28Lebeo, now where'd that come from?
16:30Not your problem, son.
16:32I'm grateful.
16:33Of course you are.
16:34I'm going to give you the chance to show it.
16:37Good job.
16:42Now then, who's paying for this?
16:45M-I-6 or C-I-5?
16:47I bought the lagers.
16:48Ah.
16:49Tell you, I'll toss you for it.
16:50I killed you, Will.
16:51You like some wine with your meal?
16:53Do they do wine here?
16:54Yeah.
16:55Got a lot of Portuguese stuff, rosΓ©.
16:57It's quite nice, actually.
16:58What, in the curry house?
16:59Hmm.
17:00Used to be old Caffey of Lisbon.
17:01Did it?
17:03Hey, I wonder what the Indians will leave behind.
17:06Not a lot.
17:06Cheers.
17:07Yeah, cheers, son.
17:11Right.
17:13What about my communist friend, then?
17:15The Mayhardt.
17:16Well, he's an assistant to the Commercial Council.
17:19Politically active?
17:20Well, he couldn't prove it by me.
17:22Rather, the opposite.
17:23What do you mean?
17:23Well, the word is he wants out.
17:25See, we've got him listed as a potential turnaround.
17:27And?
17:29No joy.
17:31Apolitical, as in asexual.
17:33And hardly delighted about the thought of going home.
17:36Well, why?
17:37Yeah, back home.
17:39She's a big, heavy-duty diesel job.
17:41Not a love match, according to sources.
17:44What does he do?
17:45Trade.
17:46Cameras, mainly.
17:47Photographic equipment, that sort of thing.
17:50Why the interest?
17:51Oh, just thought he might be seeing a girl, you know, Whitehall.
17:56Yeah?
17:56I doubt it.
17:58Look, there's a caviarme vodka soiree at the end of the month.
18:01I'll ask her around.
18:03Cheers.
18:03Cheers.
18:03Come on, Manny.
18:18Ray.
18:19I'll tell you what, you've finished out, I've got another one for you.
18:22It's about the tenth of her today.
18:23I'll bet.
18:24Is Debbie in?
18:25No, not till six.
18:26I heard her tell you on the phone.
18:28Yeah, that's a lousy line, I couldn't hear a word.
18:31You know, his tyre's a bit flat, don't you?
18:35Your friend, Joseph Merhart.
18:37What about him?
18:38Met him once.
18:39Really?
18:40Yeah.
18:41Embassy party, something like that.
18:42Could be.
18:44Do you have a key?
18:45What?
18:45To the flat.
18:46No.
18:47Doesn't matter, I left the door on the latch.
18:49Oh, there's no worry.
18:50You'd like a drink, wouldn't you?
18:52Yeah, in a minute.
18:53Go and pour yourself one.
18:54I'll join you, as soon as I finish this.
18:57You're alright.
19:24I'll join you.
19:54I really can recommend the sherry.
20:02Did you finish it?
20:04Finish what?
20:05The car.
20:06Got tired.
20:07It was sudden?
20:08I'm like that.
20:09Cleaning cars, gardening, housework.
20:12Little goes a long way.
20:13And your shoes, Herty?
20:16Got them wet.
20:18Pour me a sherry.
20:20I'll go and change.
20:21No sooner said than done.
20:24What were you doing in my bedroom?
20:37Me?
20:39Not guilty.
20:41This is sherry.
20:42It's your night out, isn't it?
20:43Correct.
20:44You going somewhere special?
20:45Sadler's Wells.
20:46I didn't know you were a ballet buff.
20:48I'm not.
20:49He is.
20:51He being?
20:52No one you know.
20:54End of interrogation.
20:56Going to have a bath.
20:58Going to scrub your back.
20:59No, thank you.
21:00Get him up.
21:28Get him up.
21:28Come on inside.
21:29Come on inside, come on inside there.
21:30Come on.
21:51Well, that's about as far as we can go for the moment, Joseph.
21:54I just don't understand.
22:04I don't want to talk about it.
22:05We must.
22:06Trust me.
22:08Amanda, just trust me.
22:09I do.
22:10So why can't you do the same for me?
22:12The less you know at this stage...
22:13I'm not a child!
22:14It's safer this way.
22:19Safer?
22:20I'll explain everything.
22:22When?
22:23When it's all over.
22:26Rio.
22:27Copacabana.
22:29Ipanema.
22:30Sugarloaf.
22:31You might as well be saying Jupiter, Venus, Mars.
22:35You have no faith.
22:38Amanda.
22:38We'll be there.
22:42I promise you.
22:46320 ingots, according to the manifest.
22:48What would that weigh?
22:49Something like 10 tons.
22:50So each ingot is...
22:52Approximately 70 pounds.
22:54Madness.
22:54Start raving.
22:56There should have been a second man in the cab.
22:57Cab should have been locked.
22:58Backup.
22:59An armoured vehicle, possibly.
23:01Radio contact.
23:03Hopeless.
23:03No word of the missing, then?
23:04Not yet.
23:05Okay, Inspector.
23:09Four million pounds worth of silver bullion.
23:11One unarticulated trailer.
23:13And three men.
23:13The wires.
23:15The silver happens to belong to a communist block country.
23:17One of life's ironies.
23:18Your friends get ripped off, that's fine.
23:20When it's not, your friends send for CI5.
23:23There won't be many firms that can handle a job, that sight.
23:25We have all of the most, according to the robbery boy.
23:27Where was it going?
23:28Tilbury.
23:29Then across the water.
23:31Regular recurrence, apparently.
23:32And so who knew?
23:35I thought you'd tell me that, Brody.
23:45What's it, Gat?
23:46Harry.
23:46Well, yes, it was when I left the lift.
23:49Well, nice to see you, Harry.
23:50I'm glad you called.
23:51You'd better come in.
23:56Well, if not brass bands, I'll settle for flags and smiles.
23:59All right, forget the flags.
24:00I'll settle for a smile.
24:02A little one?
24:04What's wrong?
24:05Come on, tell Dad.
24:07I'm scared.
24:10Harry, I don't know why Jo Merhart asked to meet you.
24:13Or what you talked about.
24:17I think it had something to do with this.
24:19There's something you don't know.
24:26There's something you don't know.
24:27So tell me.
24:29I might not be important.
24:32Then again, I thought that it...
24:33Tell me.
24:36One of Debbie's men friends.
24:39Doyle.
24:40He's a copper.
24:42Is he?
24:43Special branches, CI5, something or other.
24:46Like I said, I'm scared.
24:50He was here the other afternoon.
24:52Go on.
24:52He's being, asking questions.
24:55What about?
24:56The use of me?
24:57I don't know.
24:59Then when I saw this...
25:01What do I do, Harry?
25:04When in doubt, do nothing.
25:06Oh, for God's sake!
25:09Oh, come on now.
25:11Are you really scared?
25:13Calm down.
25:16Tell me, this, uh...
25:18This Doyle.
25:19Does he know me?
25:21No.
25:22You ever spoken to him about me?
25:24Never.
25:24And he's never even seen me.
25:30All right, now, look.
25:31Come on, sit down.
25:33Now, you're gonna calm down,
25:34and then you're gonna take a few days off on me.
25:37My job, I'm too bad.
25:38Will you listen to me?
25:40Now, you're gonna leave London.
25:41You go down to the country,
25:42see your mother,
25:43let the dust settle.
25:44It's not that easy.
25:49Doyle, you say.
25:51CI5.
25:54Wait a minute.
26:05Well?
26:06Sound hollow?
26:07Echoey?
26:10Sort of, yes.
26:11You're being bugged.
26:13All right, now, listen to me.
26:14Now, you don't want to get involved in this.
26:15Now, you say nothing to anyone.
26:16You get out now while you can.
26:18You think?
26:18I don't think I know.
26:19Now, you get in your car and you go.
26:21Remember, don't say anything to anyone.
26:24Good girl.
26:29England!
26:30England!
26:32Oh, it takes you back, eh, George?
26:34Oh, not me, Alan.
26:35I was shouting for Scotland.
26:37Condolences.
26:38Why here?
26:39Well, every year we try to ring the changes.
26:41AGMs are such dull old sticks,
26:43we keep changing the venue.
26:44Where are you holding it?
26:45A referee's changing room?
26:46Well, not quite.
26:49We had over 400 last year, though.
26:51Anyhow, enough of me.
26:52How can I help you?
26:54Silver.
26:55Buying or selling?
26:56Asking.
26:57How good an investment?
26:58Over what period?
27:00Last few years.
27:01Has been a spectacular investment.
27:03In early 70s, silver was about two U.S. dollars an ounce.
27:08Then in early 79, six dollars.
27:11By the summer of 79, eleven dollars.
27:14Then someone tried to corner the market.
27:16And when that little bubble burst, it was up to fifty dollars.
27:19Came the deluge, up the ladders, down the snakes, back to twenty dollars.
27:23In four days, spot price dropped 55%.
27:27Some drop.
27:28I'll say.
27:30Pale-faced commodities men scouring London looking for high window ledges.
27:34But you're steady, punter.
27:36Not too greedy.
27:37Over the last two or three years.
27:39Couldn't have done better.
27:42Get out!
27:44I'm gonna get out of here!
27:46Get out!
27:51Oh, Romney!
27:53You see, Mr. Cowley, we use silver oxide in the manufacture of photographic paper.
28:04You do?
28:05Yes.
28:06But you ship the silver back to London again for resale.
28:09Only occasionally, when we have a surplus.
28:11Is it that occasional, Ambassador?
28:13According to my figures, you're one of the largest single dealers in the London Metal Exchange.
28:19Forty-five million last year.
28:21It's a flourishing business.
28:24The photography business.
28:25Yes.
28:27Where would your tourists be without this camera?
28:29All those out-of-focus shots of the Tower of London.
28:32Cynics might say the dealings coincide with fluctuations in the price.
28:35Mr. Cowley, are you suggesting that we are speculators?
28:38Of course not.
28:39However, you have been a wee bit cavalier with your security arrangements.
28:44Or lack of them.
28:45True.
28:46But then your British police are so wonderful.
28:49We have total confidence in them.
28:50Shipping vast quantities of silver to and fro is a dangerous game.
28:53Mr. Cowley, Mr. Cowley, Mr. Cowley, Mr. Cowley, Mr. Cowley.
29:03Mr. Cowley, Mr. Cowley, Mr. Cowley is with our commercial department.
29:07Mr. Cowley is puzzled why we use so much silver.
29:11It is for our photographic industry.
29:13Silver is a major component in the manufacture of camera film.
29:16So I hear.
29:18Excuse me?
29:19I will deal with this in a moment.
29:27The shipments are pretty regular.
29:30Correct.
29:30The agents, for example, know anything up to ten days before.
29:34Do they?
29:35I did not realize.
29:37Is it possible there's a leak inside the embassy?
29:40A leak?
29:41Of information.
29:43I think not.
29:44You'll make inquiries?
29:45As of now.
29:46Good.
29:47A lot easier, you know.
29:48And safer to do what the other dealers do.
29:50Stick it in a vault in London.
29:53Do all your transactions on paper.
29:55Mr. Cowley, how would that help our photographic business?
29:59Of course.
30:15Read your notices?
30:16Seemed worse.
30:17Anything on the grapevine?
30:19Yes.
30:20Got a problem, Roy?
30:21Oh, yeah.
30:22Needs sorting.
30:24Photo and address in there.
30:25All right?
30:27Don't come cheap.
30:28Nothing does.
30:29Urgent.
30:30You ever know me when it wasn't?
30:33She disappeared sometime yesterday.
30:35And no word?
30:36Nothing.
30:37No call, no message.
30:39Nothing on the pad.
30:40Is she like that?
30:43No.
30:43Very much the opposite.
30:45Any clothes missing from the room?
30:46No.
30:47And suitcase.
30:48What about a car?
30:49That's gone too.
30:51Yeah, we've got the description and the number.
30:53Yeah, has she been acting strange lately?
30:55I wouldn't have said so.
30:56She frightened of anything?
30:58No.
30:58Not that I know of.
30:59She hasn't received any letters or calls for her.
31:01Might disturb her.
31:03No.
31:05Oh, look.
31:06I'm sorry I'm being so unhelpful, but...
31:10What about her friends?
31:12How long have you got?
31:13I don't know.
31:15What about that fellow who was here the other night?
31:17Um, Harry?
31:18Harry...
31:18Harry Walters, the businessman.
31:21He's got a few horses, hasn't he?
31:22Yeah.
31:23Pulled some strokes as well.
31:25I bet not.
31:25Yeah, so they say.
31:27You can't prove anything.
31:28You know the story.
31:29Look.
31:30You better get me Mandy's home address
31:32and any other number you think might be useful.
31:33She got an address book?
31:34Yeah.
31:34You better hang on and see if I can find it.
31:38Nice little slam, isn't it?
31:39Yeah, it's Debbie's father.
31:41She used to be in oil.
31:43Trust you.
31:45Who ordered that trace on Merhart?
31:47Four or five.
31:48What reason did he give?
31:50Potential security risk
31:51associating with Ministry of Defence typist.
31:55Much to know about him?
31:56Only what you've got in the file.
31:58Three-seven got some info from five.
32:01Apparently he's not keen on going home.
32:03Prefers the West.
32:05Very decadent.
32:06He might be what's availing for a day or two.
32:09Want me to implement it?
32:10Why not?
32:11I told you.
32:12Oh, tell me again.
32:13I'd never seen him before.
32:14Never.
32:15How many were there?
32:16One policeman.
32:18Two with red coats.
32:19Two with...
32:19Guns?
32:19And guns.
32:20You missed a bit.
32:21You're getting careless.
32:22Getting tired.
32:23Oh, you're getting tired, are you?
32:26What happened next?
32:27I got down from the cab.
32:28Why?
32:29Why?
32:29That was a question.
32:30Because he bloody waved me down, that's why.
32:32Are you always that helpful?
32:35Four million quids worth of silver on your trailer,
32:37and you're that helpful?
32:38He was the Lord.
32:38He wasn't.
32:39I thought he was.
32:40Too much thinking.
32:42Oh, good for you.
32:43Stunt your growth.
32:44Okay, Skip.
32:45One of these for you in the chief's office.
32:46I don't know you, do I?
32:48No, you don't.
32:49On your way.
32:51How long have I got?
32:52As long as it takes.
32:57Yeah, mate.
32:58Get that down your neck.
32:59It's all.
33:00You all right?
33:02Yeah.
33:04Want to smoke?
33:05Wouldn't say no.
33:06Yeah, I'll keep it back.
33:08Can't pay you for that because I've got all my money.
33:10Yeah, no.
33:12Don't worry.
33:13Have it on the government.
33:14Before you start, I don't know nothing.
33:16Nothing.
33:17Right.
33:17Okay, believe you.
33:20You what?
33:20Well, you're obviously set up, aren't you?
33:22Yeah.
33:23I believe it.
33:24You do?
33:25Yeah.
33:26Don't go away, will you?
33:27Oh, not now, anyway.
33:29It's just a normal run, right?
33:31Yeah.
33:32Do them before, do them again.
33:33Regular.
33:34As in all brand.
33:36Every Tuesday.
33:37Could have been Monday.
33:37Who's counting?
33:38Monday, Tuesday makes no difference.
33:40Right.
33:40Makes it no longer, no shorter.
33:42All right, go on.
33:45Well, left Toony Street as usual.
33:46Tailed?
33:47No.
33:48Now, you did check.
33:49Of course.
33:50Everything's ship-shaped.
33:51Normal.
33:52Till this cop flagged me down.
33:53Were you suspicious?
33:54No.
33:55Just passed a warning sign.
33:57Well, you said you should have gone out on a Monday, right?
33:59That's right.
34:00So what was it?
34:00I was wrong.
34:01Laurie?
34:02It wasn't us.
34:03It was postponed at the last minute.
34:05Well, who did that?
34:05The office.
34:06A think tank.
34:07Go here, go there.
34:09There's not the reason why.
34:10Yeah, I know what you mean.
34:11Yeah.
34:11I don't know what you mean.
34:13Good morning.
34:19It's Mandy's mother.
34:21That's right.
34:22Of course you are.
34:23Spotted a mile away.
34:25It's the eyes.
34:26Uncanny.
34:27Well, can I help?
34:28Hope so.
34:29I'm looking for her.
34:30Oh, she's not here.
34:31Not?
34:32Yeah.
34:33Where is she?
34:34She's gone riding.
34:35Why not?
34:36Perfect day for it.
34:37Did she know you were coming?
34:39Little surprise.
34:41Well, she's either at the stables or in the park.
34:43You shouldn't visit.
34:44Good.
34:46Who should I say call?
34:47I'll find her.
34:48Don't worry.
34:54Now, sir.
34:55All right.
34:57That was on the right.
35:00Didn't want a dog, did he?
35:02Yeah, I thought not.
35:03According to the shipping agents, it was the embassy changed it from Monday.
35:07The embassy?
35:08They called late Friday afternoon.
35:10Oh, that's interesting.
35:11Question is, what's the subtle difference between Monday and Tuesday?
35:14Try this one.
35:15Monday a.m., a certain Dusty Rhodes comes out of prison and goes on bail.
35:20Who's Dusty Rhodes?
35:21Top Wheelman.
35:23So Monday no, Tuesday yes.
35:24Yeah, I see.
35:25All right, I'll pass it on.
35:27Any firms that Rhodes has worked for should give them something to bite on.
35:30Do you know who made the call from the embassy?
35:32I thought you'd ever ask.
35:34A Yosef Merhart.
35:35No, honey.
35:38I thought you got to get away.
35:39Come here.

42:26Oh, yeah?
42:27The old man with the shooter. He didn't deliver.
42:30No?
42:30No. My little problem is sitting on our tookus not three miles from here.
42:35Well, that's bad.
42:35It's very bad, Roy.
42:36Yeah. Now remember this. Hardy Hotel off the Cromwell Road, room 85. Now fix it.
42:42Me?
42:43You.
42:45I'll get someone in.
42:48Roy, you already got someone in. Now you fix it.
43:06That's about far enough, Mr. Merhart.
43:14What are you talking about? I have diplomatic immunity. My papers.
43:19They don't give you immunity to steal. Not even from your own government.
43:23There must be some mistake.
43:25Explain it to the ambassador. He's on his way.
43:27You can't keep me here.
43:29I wouldn't put that to the test if I were you.
43:33You realize you're sending me to a firing squad?
43:35You know what I mean, Harry.
43:39No, Mandy, I don't know what you mean.
43:41Now, look, I've missed you. I want to see you.
43:43At least I can buy you a drink, cheer you up.
43:45I bet that's not the only thing he wants to do for us.
43:49When's this happened, 9-6?
43:50About 20 minutes after you left.
43:52Which Harry is this? The horsey one?
43:53Yeah, Harry Walter.

43:57Well done.
