00:00Nothing works around here.
00:30I'll come back later.
01:00I'll come back later.
01:30Oh, she's got a good form on her, hasn't she?
01:36Yeah.
01:38Well, if you're thinking of doing something about it, you'd better hurry up.
01:41All right?
01:42A few more hours, you won't be capable.
01:45Don't remind me.
01:49Cowley.
01:50Bloody Cowley.
01:51Hang on, a bit keen.
01:55Listen, Sunshine, thinking about it, that's worse than doing it.
01:58All right, let's go.
01:59Oh, sooner we're in, sooner it's over.
02:14Yeah.
02:15Oh, put it away.
02:16Hey, you know the rules.
02:18Soon as we're on the other side of that door, we're fair game.
02:20Yes, you know how crazy bastard in there he sees a gun, he's going to start shooting.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Let's do it in style, surprising me.
02:25Right.
02:26All right, let's go.
02:29Hello, Macklin.
02:30Flabby, definitely flabby.
02:36Wouldn't you agree, Tarza?
02:39I forgot, you haven't met Tarza, have you?
02:43Well, you'll be bumping into him quite a lot in the next couple of days.
02:49Rather, he'll be bumping into you.
02:52Just me and Tarza.
02:54You'll have our undivided attention.
03:00Who is it?
03:10Serpoi.
03:28Serpoi.
03:29The faithful aide.
03:31The inside, ma'am.
03:36Ben Musser sends his felicitations.
03:40He wishes and hopes that you...
03:41Just as long as he sent them.
03:48Nothing's changed.
03:48It's still all set for the 25th?
03:50Yes.
03:51But you still don't know where?
03:52Not yet.
03:53A British security.
03:55They are being...
03:55The minute you know, I know, right?
03:57I'll contact you.
03:58Yes, but not here.
03:59I can't stay here.
04:00Can't?
04:01I ran into a little trouble.
04:03Don't worry.
04:04Trouble is my business.
04:08Call this number.
04:10Just leave your name.
04:12I'll call you right back.
04:13Why must it be the 25th?
04:17Why not before?
04:17Because that is the one time when we will know exactly where the target will be.
04:21But on such an occasion, security will be drum-tied.
04:24That's what they thought in the end.
04:27Anyway.
04:29How will you do it?
04:30I won't be doing it.
04:32You said yourself, security will be drum-tied.
04:35For my face, no matter how I change it, it's too well known these days.
04:39But Ben Massac...
04:40It's paying me for one thing.
04:42To see the job is done successfully.
04:44I'll select the men to do that job.
04:46I'll train them.
04:46I'll guarantee their success.
04:49Now, we don't want to be seen leaving here together.
04:59Go on, son.
05:00Get him now.
05:05Chip.
05:05I thought so.
05:06You're just like Doyle.
05:08Reflex is shot to pieces.
05:10Come on, Bodie.
05:11Now, get him.
05:12Go on.
05:13You bastard.
05:14Hey, mind the shirt.
05:15I thought he borrowed it from me.
05:16That's better.
05:18A little bit of hate.
05:19Not enough hate.
05:20Too much of the other.
05:21Eh, Bodie?
05:25Even Cowley doesn't want his cut to pieces.
05:27Go on.
05:28Get him.
05:29Cowley doesn't want you dead either.
05:32Bloody fools.
05:33This isn't the game.
05:34Not with a knife in your hand.
05:35It's not.
05:39Your play, Doyle.
05:43I got a good one.
05:45I got a good one.
05:56Tazza?
06:01Don't break any bones.
06:03We just take them apart.
06:05Then we can start putting them together again.
06:37Yeah? What can I do for you?
07:02Frank Coni?
07:08Who wants him?
07:13Just a minute.
07:14You're good?
07:19Very good indeed.
07:22But not quite good enough.
07:26Not yet.
07:28However, we have a few days we can alter that.
07:31Such suspicion.
07:33There's 500 there.
07:41You're not a fishing man then?
07:43Huh?
07:43Nice fat worm.
07:45Big plump fly.
07:47What the fish has been dreaming about all week.
07:49He takes it.
07:53Suddenly he's dead.
07:54Surrounded with chips.
07:57Animal caution.
07:59I like that.
08:00I like curiosity too.
08:03You're not going to shoot me before you've heard the whole thing.
08:05Well, I do like a nice story.
08:07Name?
08:08No name.
08:09But I come highly recommended.
08:11And so do you.
08:13Other names then?
08:14Chuck Wiley.
08:15Dead.
08:16November 1st, 1978.
08:18Taiwan.
08:19A girl.
08:20It would have had to have been a girl.
08:21They say you read the papers.
08:23It never made the papers.
08:25More names.
08:27Mar Tyler.
08:27I can call her.
08:28She's expecting you to.
08:29She'll be on her bar from 5 to 5.30.
08:31Then there's Gaston.
08:33The Frenchman?
08:34The Belgian.
08:37And then there's Mad Mike?
08:40Not that mad.
08:40You can still take the pip out of an orange at 40 paces.
08:4450 paces?
08:45But he shortens his stride for the last 10.
08:48I can still call Mar Tyler.
08:50If you didn't, you wouldn't be the man for me.
08:53It's a job then.
08:54It's a job.
08:56Pay off?
08:57To be agreed.
08:59But I think you could put a Rolls or two in here.
09:04I always fancied a Ferrari myself.
09:06You took your damn time calling me.
09:08It took time for the report to filter through.
09:10Our EFI has been out for two weeks.
09:12Anything, any crime.
09:14Even a misdemeanor involving an Arab.
09:16We don't know that this does involve an Arab.
09:18The old boy just thinks he saw an Arab coming up to this floor.
09:20Fetch him.
09:22Yes, sir.
09:38Do you want to tell me about this job?
09:47Not yet.
09:49That big, eh?
09:50That big.
09:53Will I end up dead?
09:55It's possible.
09:57You're the master of the hard sell, aren't you?
09:58The risks will become apparent sooner or later.
10:01Why not sooner?
10:02I'll drink to that.
10:07It's a kill job.
10:08Naturally.
10:09And a Ferrari at the end of it, which I may not get to drive.
10:14One-man job?
10:15Two.
10:17Oh.
10:18For safety.
10:20I understand you already have a partner.
10:22Not a partner.
10:23Get yourself a partner and you wind up...
10:25You start worrying about him and you both end up dead.
10:33What about this Arab you saw coming up here?
10:36He's not sure it was an...
10:36I'm asking him.
10:39Well?
10:40Might have been.
10:41Just got a glimpse.
10:42Don't even know that he was coming up here.
10:44But you think he was an Arab.
10:46Well, he was dark within these days.
10:48Who can tell?
10:51What about the man who rented this room?
10:53Who did you register as?
10:54He didn't register.
10:56It's that kind of hotel.
10:57He paid a week in advance.
10:59I was going to get him to register.
11:01It could have been...
11:02This man?
11:05Or this?
11:08Or this?
11:10Or this?
11:10Hold on.
11:13Yeah, I don't know.
11:15It might have been him.
11:19All right.
11:24Let me know why she was killed.
11:30I know why she was killed.
11:31Because she was a chambermaid.
11:33She had a passkey.
11:35And this chain...
11:39doesn't work.
11:41She walked in and saw something she wasn't supposed to see.
11:44So he killed her.
11:46And God preserve us if it was this man.
11:48He was a man.
11:55Doyle.
11:56Yeah?
11:57You know the irony of it.
11:59What?
12:00You know the former sign where it says occupation.
12:02You know the punch bag.
12:04Civil servant.
12:06Birds think I drink tea and push pens.
12:09Well, you can always resign.
12:11No.
12:11That's what Cowley wants.
12:13He wants us to resign.
12:14What for?
12:15You think of any other reason?
12:18No.
12:19Oh, here we go again.
12:26He's late.
12:27That's good.
12:29That could mean...
12:31I hope it means he's looking the place over first.
12:35I called him.
12:37Possibly with a gun at your head?
12:39Eh?
12:40Hmm?
12:41Oh, yeah.
12:42I see what you mean.
12:44Jay's okay.
12:46I'm sure.
12:48He's the best there is.
12:50Excellent.
12:51I need the best there is.
12:53Jay's canny.
12:55He's...
12:55one of my other half, so to speak.
12:58Or I go blundering in.
13:00Jay waits.
13:01Thanks.
13:02Jay and me, while we're...
13:04Partners?
13:05I told you.
13:06Shh!
13:09Look.
13:09Don't be surprised when you see him.
13:12He's on the small side, but don't mention it.
13:14Gets up his nose.
13:16He comes straight to the door?
13:18He'll look the place over first.
13:19And then through the door?
13:22The perfect target.
13:24If he comes through the door, he's out.
13:25You get yourself another partner.
13:27I told you, he's not my partner.
13:28We just work together, that's all.
13:30And small or not, he's the best...
13:32Frank?
13:35You okay?
13:35Yeah.
13:36Yeah, he's a friend.
13:37I told you.
13:40Back where we didn't even hear it.
13:41Ten out of ten, eh?
13:42Nine out of ten.
13:44One foot above the torch beam.
13:46Wouldn't do you any good.
13:51I told you, didn't I?
13:54Pleased to meet you, Joe.
13:56Very pleased indeed.
13:57Don't say anything.
14:09It's a dream.
14:11Eh?
14:12Well, he stopped hitting us.
14:14It's nice, isn't it?
14:15You think that means we've passed?
14:21What's this?
14:22A traditional last hearty breakfast?
14:24Ah, you're hurt.
14:25Both of you.
14:25You're battered and bruised and you hurt.
14:29He's psychic.
14:31So now you stop getting hurt.
14:33You mean we can go on?
14:34No, I mean you stop getting hurt
14:35because I teach you how to stop getting hurt.
14:38I know you've both been through it all before
14:40and you're good.
14:42Well, you're adequate.
14:45But you're not good enough.
14:47Towser, he's just a pushover.
14:50Who should tell him that?
14:51You've met better and bigger.
14:53And you'll meet even better.
14:54But you're rusty.
14:57And Cowley doesn't want you rusty.
14:59He wants you fit.
15:00He wants you honed to a fine edge.
15:03Razor sharp.
15:05Enjoying those eggs?
15:06The eggs are poisoned.
15:11No, no, no, no.
15:12They're full of protein.
15:14Energy.
15:15Energy.
15:16You need plenty of that.
15:18A ten mile run.
15:19You mean a ten mile jog.
15:21Well, yes.
15:23See.
15:24You jog the first ten miles.
15:26Why don't you two boys take a walk?
15:38The location has been agreed.
15:58A ten mile run.
16:02Get a car.
16:05Well, what do you think?
16:07A-rabs.
16:08Oil and money.
16:09A job.
16:10I don't know what it is yet.
16:12We will.
16:13And we'll be nicely set.
16:15I know that.
16:16Eh?
16:16You never look at anything but page three in the sports, do you?
16:20I recognised him right away.
16:22Even though he's tripped his face up a bit.
16:24That identity kit was close.
16:26Eh?
16:28The big one in Vienna.
16:30And before that, Berlin.
16:32Sweet.
16:32Both of them.
16:33And he didn't lose a man.
16:36You mean he's the...
16:37Mm-hmm.
16:38That's right.
16:38Different league for us, Jerry.
16:40The risk's the same.
16:41Always the same.
16:42But this time, the money's different.
16:45Yeah.
16:46When I get my hands on that money, I'm gonna get my hands on some of that.
16:49He's got some form on her.
16:51Eh?
16:54This is terrible.
16:55It's impossible.
16:56But you assured us that there would be no problems.
17:00What's the alternative?
17:03Come on, come on.
17:04Something as important as this.
17:05There has to be an alternative.
17:10There is an alternative venue.
17:16Should there be any hint of danger at number one, the ceremony will be switched to another
17:20area, which they did not confide even to me.
17:24But you found out just the same.
17:27The British did not confide in me.
17:31But, of course, my president trusts me implicitly.
17:40But you have to be very sure.
17:43If anything went wrong, they would trace it straight back to me.
17:45Now, this is more like it.
17:52This house is empty right now?
17:54A token security watch only.
17:56And when will it be turned into a fortress?
17:58The day before the ceremony.
17:59The day before.
18:01Good.
18:02That gives us a few days left to work with.
18:05Yes, this is what it will happen.
18:06We'll make them switch to here.
18:08But if you make an overt attack on venue one, they might abort.
18:11Cancel altogether.
18:12Don't worry.
18:14I'll be more subtle than that.
18:15Just the same.
18:16Leave my business to me.
18:19Right?
18:20Very well.
18:21Well.
18:21I wish you good luck.
18:25Luck?
18:26I won't have anything to do with it.
18:29You understand.
18:31I shall be attending the ceremony, too.
18:33We are being paid for only one hit.
18:36Yes.
18:37So don't worry.
18:44Is that usual?
18:46That they don't let you in on everything?
18:48The location of the alternative meeting place.
18:51It is the British way.
18:54Minimize information.
18:57Minimize risk.
19:02Bend muscle.
19:03The whole movement.
19:05We are relying on you.
19:14Hello, George.
19:15Ryan.
19:16Come to view the remains?
19:18I sincerely hope not.
19:20How are they shaping up?
19:20Oh, they'll do.
19:23In fact, they're the best that you've got.
19:25They're the best?
19:30Mr. Carley.
19:31Sir.
19:32Does this mean we're going back to duty, sir?
19:35Ryan.
19:36We'll be outside.
19:42This isn't an empty exercise.
19:44I told you, Doyle.
19:45We're being sponsored by Oxfam to destruction.
19:48I offered the best.
19:49And that's what I intended.
19:50Providing the very best.
19:53The very best, Doyle.
19:54I don't know.
19:55Borg at Wimbledon.
19:56Muhammad Ali.
19:57I feel more like Ali.
19:59Someone at the peak of physical fitness.
20:02Exactly.
20:02The big one.
20:04Parsali.
20:06President Parsali.
20:08Until a moment ago, only 23 people knew.
20:10Now it's 25.
20:11Knew what?
20:12The treaty.
20:13It will be signed here in England next Tuesday.
20:17And there's a whisper of a kill.
20:19But with someone as controversial as Parsali, there is always a whisper.
20:23Nevertheless, we've got to heed everything.
20:25He's our pigeon.
20:26We're providing cover.
20:28Such cover that the only kill that might have a hope would have to be a close kill.
20:31Kamikaze kill?
20:33Perhaps, like Gandhi, some maniac willing to die to kill.
20:39I couldn't tell you before because part of our cover is minimal information to the fewest possible persons.
20:45But now you've got to know.
20:47Because that's the task you train for.
20:51To keep Parsali alive.
20:54Kill!
21:01Parsali.
21:04President Parsali.
21:06It's the man you are being paid to kill.
21:09Okay, let's go to work.
21:11Venue one.
21:13And a backup alternative.
21:15Venue two.
21:16For use in emergency only.
21:19Well, these are just ground plans.
21:21No addresses.
21:21That's right, Brody.
21:22Minimal information.
21:23Best security of all.
21:25You'll be told where they are, as and when.
21:27Meanwhile, get to know them.
21:29Get to know both areas better than your own apartment.
21:32The very best.
21:35I'm relying on you.
21:37Table.
21:39Foyer.
21:40Stairs.
21:41Upper landing.
21:43It's your bloody staircase.
21:44The half landing is the spot.
21:46Get there before they realize what's happening.
21:47Go down one step and you're dead.
21:50Frank, you'll be making the hit from here.
21:52Just enough elevation to see the target and close enough not to miss.
21:55Joe, you'll be on the landing above, covering.
21:58Well, come on, come on.
22:00Your job will be to take out the bodyguards.
22:02You'll know them because they'll be like yourself.
22:03Hmm?
22:04Thoroughbreds, nervous, on the balls of their feet, spoiling for a fight.
22:07But you'll have the advantage of surprise.
22:09Say, uh, two seconds.
22:11Use them well.
22:12Hit and hit hard.
22:14Frank, you'll put three shots into, uh, Passali.
22:16Three body shots.
22:17And they'll turn your attention to the bodyguards, too.
22:20Now, during the panic, they will be the only ones who will try to stop you.
22:24If you don't take them out, then you are both finished.
22:28Slice, guns.
22:29You don't really need us, do you?
22:41Oh, you'd be great on your own.
22:43Tarsie, make us some coffee.
22:46Yeah, I used to be good.
22:48Used to be?
22:49And I got myself gut shot in Hong Kong.
22:53And broke my pelvis, both my arms, and heaved me into the bay.
22:58Now, the service flew me back.
22:59Tourist class, of course.
23:00They didn't want to pamper me.
23:03And then, just like Humpty Dumpty, they stuck me back together again.
23:06As good as new.
23:08But the cracks still show.
23:10Macklin.
23:11My nerves were shot to hell.
23:13Well, I can't face a target that shoots back at me anymore.
23:20And that's why I drive you so hard.
23:22Because it shouldn't have happened in the first place.
23:25I was below par.
23:27Out of shape.
23:29Volting a 12-foot fence with a 10-foot pole.
23:32So don't do as I do.
23:33Just do as I say and stay in one piece.
23:39That's what you'll be using this trip.
23:4144 magnums.
23:43Stoppers.
23:44Now, they're clean and very effective at the range you'll be shooting.
23:47The shock of a body wound can often kill, but we won't take any chances.
23:51The shells will be dumb-dumbed to make them spread on impact.
23:54That's a hell of a dirty thing.
23:55If you're not up to it.
23:56I didn't say I wasn't up to it.
23:58I said it was dirty.
24:00Well, just another way of killing.
24:03Exactly.
24:04Just another way.
24:06Right.
24:07Let's run through it again.
24:08Up the stairs.
24:13You know, I've been thinking.
24:17Oh, yeah?
24:18What about a kamikaze kill?
24:21Well, like that Chinese last year with the hatchet.
24:23Yeah.
24:24Poor man bastard.
24:26Took 10 to put him away.
24:27Hmm.
24:28Yeah, one soft nose would have stopped him flat.
24:33You know, Tuesday, if that's what we've got to deal with, I reckon we ought to doctor our pal.
24:37Are you talking about dumb-dumbs?
24:39Yeah.
24:39Oh, you're not going to give us that one man to leave a convention bit, are you?
24:43No.
24:43I've seen what they can do.
24:45Yeah.
24:45Stop some dead.
24:47And I mean, dead.
24:49No objection to dead, have you?
24:51Because next Tuesday, I'd only be standing alongside you while you make your decision.
24:54It's not dead.
24:55It's dumb-dumb.
24:58Dead or dumb-dumb?
24:59What's the difference?
25:00It's them or us.
25:03I didn't come into this mob to use dumb-dumbs.
25:05The house is empty at the moment.
25:21Just two guards patrol the grounds.
25:24But on the day of the signing ceremony, it will be swarming.
25:26Any wires?
25:28Nothing we can't handle.
25:30The locks will be a pushover, too.
25:32Now, you come across the grounds at the rear.
25:36In through this door.
25:38Backstairs.
25:39This is your escape route, too.
25:43This is the room where the signing ceremony will take place.
25:46We must presume guards at the doors, inside and out, and at the windows.
25:52Parsali.
25:54Dignitaries.
25:55Bodyguards either side of him.
25:56Top men.
25:57Maybe two, maybe four, but hand-picked.
26:00Frank, you're on the half-landing.
26:02Joe, on the landing.
26:03I want you to study this.
26:06Get familiar.
26:10Listen.
26:11A couple of days' time, this place will be swarming with security, right?
26:14Right.
26:15Then how do we get in?
26:17Did you never hear of the wooden horse of Troy?
26:19I want you, my friend.
26:32Okay.
26:34It works.
26:35It's great.
26:37Except for one thing.
26:38The house is their second choice.
26:42Yes.
26:43So how do we get them to use it?
26:45With subtlety.
26:46Yeah, but...
26:47Shh.
27:12Your call.
27:13Well, you said it was urgent.
27:23Yes.
27:26Ah!
27:27Ah!
27:35This is necessary, but you do not have to watch.
27:38What do you reckon when this is over?
27:49Bahamas, maybe?
27:51They say the girls out there have built that.
27:53How about New Guinea?
27:55They've got pygmies in New Guinea.
27:56That's more like it.
28:00That's the job, isn't it?
28:01Eh?
28:02What job?
28:04Oh, I don't know.
28:06Butcher, baker, candlestick maker.
28:09Normal.
28:11Nine till five and lunch on a company.
28:15You want another?
28:17Why not?
28:18Right.
28:19What can I do for you?
28:29Oh, if I'd told you.
28:30You'd be chucked out on your ear.
28:33Let's find some original dialogue, mate.
28:35Look, did you come here to drink?
28:37Or just to make sounds?
28:38Two halves of bitter, please.
28:39Right.
28:40Two halves of bitter.
28:42Do with a pint.
28:43Yeah, me too.
28:45This way we get two bites of the cherry.
28:48Oh, I'd trade him sharp and drop, hasn't I?
29:03Out!
29:04Oh, come on, darling!
29:04You look, I've told you lot before.
29:06You're not needed in here.
29:07You're not drinking in here.
29:09Look, just four points of beer.
29:11Jerry!
29:13Out!
29:14Otherwise, we'll call the cops, right?
29:21Stick your beer.
29:23It's watered down anyway!
29:29You see, you really ought to encourage the better class of a customer.
29:33Yes!
29:40That's my car!
29:43Bastards.
29:56Stupid bastards.
29:57Not even getting paid to do it.
29:58Fight's a fight, but he was going to kill you.
30:17Where have you been?
30:34Oh, putting our training to good use, sir.
30:36Oh, come on.
30:37Venues one and two.
30:38Get to know every nook and cranny.
30:39You ready?
30:49You ready?
30:49When you are.
30:57You'll do it again.
30:58Oh, come on.
30:59Again!
31:00Again!
31:00Then you're one.

34:53Oh, my God.
35:23Achmed Serpoi.
35:27Personal aid to President Persali.
35:29Not very pretty, is it?
35:31Tortured before they shot him.
35:33You think he talked?
35:35Well, of course he talked.
35:36Wouldn't anyone, wouldn't you, if they did that to you?
35:39The question is, how much did he tell them?
35:41No, the question is, what could he tell them?
35:43He had full access to the original meeting place.
35:46They're not the alternative.
35:48I know.
35:49That's why I'm recommending we switch to venue two.
35:51Hey.
36:04It's worked.
36:07They've got company.
36:09They don't know that they've got company.
36:11Put that there.
36:20John, Jerry, main floor.
36:23Go on, Reg.
36:24Upstairs.
36:25I'll see the lads who are here, then.
36:45I always knew you boys would turn out to be useful one of these days.
37:00Works perfectly.
37:02But can it fight?
37:03No.
37:04But it can tell you just where to go to get your head blown off.
37:07A beam on every door and window.
37:09Nobody can get in now without this little baby knowing.
37:12Of course, the guys we were up against used to be miners, you know.
37:15What?
37:16Yes, you know, tunneling.
37:19You're kidding me.
37:20Quick, isn't it?
37:21Yeah, sharp as a razor.
37:24Well, see you boys around.
37:28Maybe.
37:28So, this is where it's all going to happen, eh?
37:35Yeah.
37:37Providing we let it.
37:39Sleep on it.
37:40Never mind.
37:42Yeah, I'll get the bags.
37:52Wish I'd seen Claire last week.
37:57Oh.
37:58Well, you know, she drew nights at the hospital last week.
38:02Didn't see her.
38:04Well, if she drew nights last week, she'll be all right this week, won't she?
38:10Yeah.
38:12So, what are you worried about?
38:14I'm not worried.
38:14I'm just saying I didn't see her.
38:17A few things I wish I'd said to her.
38:20Cut it out, Ray, will you?
38:22Cut what out?
38:22You know what I mean.
38:25Just cut it out.
38:28All I said was I wish I'd seen her first.
38:30You know what you said?
38:31Bad medicine.
38:34Next minute, you'll be asking me if I've made a will.
38:36Have you?
38:42I was just interested, that's all, you know.
38:44Of course I've made a will.
38:45I've done all my letters, too.
38:47Well, first thing you do in the mob, isn't it?
38:50Get your affairs straight.
38:53I wanted something better.
38:54Better than me mum and dad.
38:57Better than I could see ahead of me.
38:59You had the schooling?
39:00Yeah.
39:00But it's a now society, isn't it, Frank?
39:02I want it now.
39:04Now.
39:05Because I'm still young.
39:07And you're a long time dead.
39:09Do you believe that?
39:11No afterlife, just...
39:13Yeah.
39:14Don't you?
39:18You're a cop.
39:19You don't accept anything without proof, for God's sake.
39:23For God's sake.
39:25Figure of speech.
39:26All right.
39:28Look, I believe in me, mate.
39:31Because I was born tall, dark and beautiful.
39:35And engagingly modest, of course.
39:39Just got dealt the wrong cards.
39:42That's all.
39:43How do you mean?
39:44Wrong town, wrong street, wrong time, wrong bloody everything.
39:49I was the right tearaway, I was.
39:52I caught up another kid and I was just a kid myself.
39:55Oh?
39:56Yeah.
39:57Well, streets where I grew up, there was a fella like Macklin on every corner.
40:00And I got away with it every time.
40:02Never got caught.
40:03But you're all right now, Jim.
40:05Am I?
40:06I haven't got any taller, have I?
40:09That's what they kept promising me.
40:11When you grow up.
40:12I know I'm small.
40:14I lived with it all my life.
40:17It's a hell of a thing, Frank, to be shorty all your life.
40:20No matter how it's said.
40:23Shorty.
40:23So I joined the force.
40:25Got some discipline.
40:26Well, that's what you call it, is it?
40:28Hmm.
40:29No, don't knock it.
40:30It's better than nothing.
40:33Glad to get out of it, though.
40:34Glad to join this mob.
40:36Must be joking.
40:36I'm not.
40:38The line was getting too narrow, what I was doing.
40:40There's no difference between what I was doing, what the villains were doing.
40:43In the blue corner, right.
40:45In the red corner, wrong.
40:48How about you?
40:50Excitement.
40:52Excitement.
40:53Money.
40:55Is that all?
40:56Well, it's enough, isn't it?
40:57It's enough for me, isn't it?
41:00No, you've got to have another reason.
41:01You've got to have a better reason than that.
41:03A short life and a happy one.
41:06At least this way, Joe, I know I'm alive.
41:09Until you're dead.
41:11Then it's up to the pearly gates.
41:15And then paradise.
41:16Oh, maybe not.
41:25Eh?
41:26You never thought of that, did you?
41:29Oh, what?
41:30You know, Cowley punches the Bible.
41:33Reads the lesson.
41:36Yeah, so?
41:37Well, he's not even on standby, mate.
41:40He's got a fully paid up reserve ticket.
41:43He'll be up there with you.
41:46Where's your paradise now, eh?
41:50Luckily, I'm going the other way.
41:51Not bad.
42:11Not bad at all.
42:12Shouldn't do that, sir.
42:13Not in a day like this.
42:15Especially edgy today, are we?
42:18Wouldn't you be?
42:19Aye.
42:22Now, come on.
42:22Ah, it's catching.
42:34Shouldn't this thing have alarmed when we came through that door?
42:36I switched it off, sir.
42:39Anyway, we know who's coming through the door.
42:41He'll be here at 1400.
42:43They're picking him up from the destroyer, then chopper to here.
42:45And once he sets foot in British soil, he's our responsibility.
42:49Yours.
42:49Yes, sir.
42:50I'm not one for pep talks, but there's two weeks' leave coming to you when this is over.
42:55See you later.
42:56Sir.
42:57Two weeks.
42:58Sir.
42:59Maybe you know something we don't.
43:05Are you scared?
43:07Yeah.
43:09You?
43:09Yeah.
43:10All the time.
43:40All the time.
44:10Joe, spare shells.
44:31That's enough.
44:33Rest now.
44:34Relax.
44:40All the time.
44:44No, no, no.
45:06Fuck yeah!
45:07They're going to die, whatever we hit them with.
46:00After the speeches start.
46:02It is indeed an honour and a privilege to witness something so auspicious for both our countries.
46:09East is East and West is West and ne'er the twain shall meet.
46:13Kipling said that and Kipling was wrong.
46:16For in these days of interdependence East cannot survive without West and vice versa.
46:22The world is shrinking and with it its resources.
46:32I now call upon President Farsali.
46:45Ladies and gentlemen, or maybe it might be more accurate for me to say citizens of a free world.
46:57I only wish there were more of you here on this occasion.
47:10Because there are some who would curtail that freedom.
47:13Economically.
47:14We are dependent upon one another.
47:15That is the basis of freedom.
47:16We are the oil.
47:17You have the technology.
47:18And together we would force you to move.
47:19That's the world.
47:20Be free.
47:21I know that in the past there have been a lot of people.
47:22But I would prefer to turn it into misunderstanding.
47:23Misunderstanding.
47:24Misunderstanding.
47:25Misunderstanding.
47:26Excuse the farm.
47:27Fending the flame.
47:28The factions who are determined to come between us.
47:30Who revile the very thought.
47:31Free thinking.
47:32Free thinking.
47:33Free thinking.
47:34These actions.
47:36Have sought to prevent the signing of this treaty between our two nations.
47:57They have used every form of terrorism to deter us.
48:01This treaty is probably the most important single document ever to exist between us.
48:14It promises much and denies nothing.
48:18It is a document to dispel fear.
48:21A document to succor the poor.
48:23Feed the hungry.
48:25To illuminate those dark areas which have stood for so long, too long.
48:30Between us and total friendship.
48:32I say.
48:33It comes.
48:34It promises free thinking.
48:40articulation.
48:41explications.
48:48Part care anywhere you need toADE
48:57Oh, my God.
49:27Dum-dums.
49:42The bastards.
49:43Why they had to use dum-dums?
49:45Maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time.
49:57Why they had to use dum-dums?
50:27Why they had to use dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum.
