03:05I mean, ask yourself, would I sell hooky chickens?
03:11Oh, they might have only had one leg,
03:14but I think you'll agree that was reflected in the price.
03:17No, no, no, no, it's a new method.

16:25exactly
16:25Au revoir.
16:27Onward and upward, Dave.
16:28Cheers.
16:29What is all this, then, Arthur?
16:30That's the new menu, Dave, for the club.
16:33Honoring will knock them up the night before.
16:34You bung them in the microwave, and hey, presto, haute de cuisine.
16:38What's a pullet, pressé en vessie?
16:41Well, it tells you, look, underneath, in brackets.
16:43Oh, yeah.
16:44Chitting in a vest.
16:45You see?
16:46And this is only the start, Dave.
16:48Before long, we'll be attracting a much better class of punter.
16:51I don't know about that, Arthur.
16:52Trust me, Dave.
16:53This is the future.
16:55We are a European state now.
16:58We have got to keep up.
17:00And you wait till all them froggies start charging up the channel,
17:02demanding a chicken in the vest.
17:05And there's your acre.
17:06Is that in here and all?
17:07No, Dave.
17:09It's the new European currency.
17:11It's a unit of reddies, so that we can all work together in harmony.
17:15Of course, Arthur.
17:17No man is an island, Dave.
17:19You would do well to remember that.
17:21I'll try, Arthur.
17:22No, I'll try.
17:25Just get it done, Paul.
17:26It's what I pay you for.
17:29No.
17:30No, then when we're coming back.
17:32I'll give you a call when we're leaving.
17:34All right.
17:36I'll have to do something about him.
17:37He's about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.
17:50Mr. Meadows, Vinnie sent me.
17:56He sent you looking for a body?
17:59A Frenchman?
18:00You know where he is.
18:02I know everyone on this manor, Mr. Meadows.
18:04It's my job, see.
18:06It's what I do.
18:09Write his address down there.
18:14What about...
18:15You know?
18:18Vinnie said you'd see me all right.
18:22I can't write.
18:30I'm waiting.
18:33I can't write.
18:35I've never been a patient man.
18:38Hit him till he tells me some are Colin.
18:40No.
18:41No, wait, wait.
18:42I'll tell you.
18:44He's working for a bloke, I know.
18:46Name?
18:48Daly.
18:50Arthur Daly.
18:51It's all presentation, Dave.
18:53That's the secret.
18:54I mean, you take the humble melon.
18:55Aye?
18:56The melon.
18:57I mean, to the untrained eye,
18:58it's a simple water fruit.
19:00Cut it in half.
19:01Stick a cherry on the top.
19:03What have you got?
19:04Half a melon with a cherry on the top.
19:06Eight quid.
19:09Talking of melon.
19:13Thought we might find you here, Daly.
19:16I'm glad to see all that detective training
19:17at the taxpayer's expense.
19:18Hasn't gone to waste, Mr Morley.
19:20Very droll.
19:22You want to think of it,
19:22we haven't turned over Arthur's lock-up this month, have we?
19:24No, Sarge.
19:25Well, it must be about due by now, then.
19:27What do you say?
19:28Mr Morley, shouldn't you be out catching villains or something?
19:30I mean, they're very easy to spot.
19:32They wear balaclava helmets and hit people with sticks.
19:34Talking of villains,
19:36does the name Meadows mean anything to you?
19:39No, only that some bloke and his dog went to mow it.
19:42I can always ask you these questions down at the Nick.
19:44What questions?
19:46You were seen leaving the premises where Vinnie Meadows had a little meet with his older brother, Billy.
19:50I never knew Vinnie had a brother.
19:53We were wondering if you could tell us what the meet was all about.
19:56Who, you got the wrong bloke?
19:57I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about.
19:59Oh, I see.
20:01Honour amongst thieves, is that it?
20:03You don't grass on your own.
20:04Come on.
20:06You see, you get your big fathead, Melon.
20:09If I find you're telling me porkies daily,
20:12I'll have you in so fast to be skid marks all the way from here to the Nick.
20:20What did I want?
20:22It wasn't really very clear.
20:25So what do you think then, Sarge?
20:26Well, if we believe that Daley doesn't know what's going on,
20:29then we've also got to believe that he's just been telling the truth.
20:31The concept I find it very hard to accept.
20:34So you think he does know something, then?
20:36Time will tell, Park.
20:38But if he is involved in something, even on the fringes,
20:41I'll take great pleasure in having him banged up.
21:27No, Arthur.
21:28Look, you cannot serve a cuisine in jeans and a T-shirt.
21:31It's unhygienic.
21:32You never said anything about me being a waiter.
21:34It's for one night only.
21:35It was short notice.
21:36No, I'm sorry, Arthur.
21:38I've had enough.
21:40One minute, I'm chucking out drunks.
21:41It took me three weeks to save up for that shirt.
21:43And now you want me to dress up like a ponson serve at tables.
21:46What?
21:47You'll be asking me to wash up next.
21:48Ah, I was just coming to that.
21:50I don't believe you, Arthur.
21:53Well, that's it.
21:54I quit.
21:55Quit? You can't.
21:56I've just had this clean.
21:58Watch me.
22:02Oh, well.
22:03I suppose it's my own fault.
22:05I take you in as a personal favour to your father in order to teach you the rudiments of business.
22:09Feed you, clothe you.
22:11Put roof over your head.
22:13What thanks do I get?
22:16Oyster with me own pietard.
22:18Oh, well.
22:18That's it, then.
22:19Give us one of them tempies.
22:23What do you call him?
22:26Your father.
22:27What for?
22:28Tell him he'll have to go back.
22:29You're uncontrollable.
22:31You wouldn't.
22:33You would.
22:38This hurts me as much as it hurts you.
22:41All right.
22:42Sorry?
22:43All right.
22:44I'll wear it.
22:45Oh, I don't know, Raymond.
22:47This could be the tip of the iceberg.
22:49The slippery slope.
22:51Simple requests.
22:52Hull back in my face.
22:54You don't overwell for the future, do it?
22:56All right.
22:57I'll leave and wash up.
22:58You've got ten minutes.
23:02Hello, Dave.
23:03Any messages?
23:16I've nearly finished out here, but we've forgotten the napkin.
23:19I will get them, but first I have a little something I would like you to do for me.
23:24Every time we haven't done the food yet.
23:26Oh, don't worry.
23:27You English have no soul where food is concerned.
23:30A plate full of corned beef, a few rolls.
23:31You are happy?
23:32Did you mean it when you said you'd take me home?
23:35To France?
23:36Of course.
23:37My family will love you.
23:38I know it.
23:39But how am I going to talk to them?
23:41Don't worry.
23:41My family speak perfect English.
23:43I can't wait.
23:44Me and Mum will have a fit.
23:46But first, I must find a better position.
23:48A restaurant.
23:49Somewhere I can work properly.
23:51What about Mr Daly?
23:53Well, he is, how are you saying, a stepping stone?
23:56Nothing more.
23:59Here.
24:00This ain't too bad after all, Arthur.
24:01Oh, very nice, Raymond.
24:03You look very nice.
24:04Better than all that Armani gear.
24:06Armani?
24:07Exactly.
24:08Listen, get your skates on.
24:09I want to give the volubon to one turn before the punters get there.
24:40You're welcome.
24:41I want to give the volubon to one turn before the punters get there.
24:54Hello, Henry.
25:13I thought you'd be pleased to see me.
25:48I thought you'd be happy to see me.
26:01No, no, no, no, no.
26:43Well, find me this daily character and bring him back here.
26:47He was there himself?
26:49It was him, Vinnie, I'm telling you.
26:51Well, well.
26:53Big brother making a personal appearance.
26:56Whatever it is must be important.
26:58Billy never goes out himself.
27:00And the Frenchman?
27:01Definitely got away.
27:02Rapid.
27:03He made Linford Christie look like a cripple.
27:07I don't get it.
27:09He comes all the way down here and then starts chasing some froggy around London like a geriatric gangster.
27:14Either he's lost his marbles or there's something going down we don't know about.
27:20So what do we do now then, Vinnie?
27:24Hey, put the word out.
27:25I want the Frenchman found.
27:28Yo, go back and stay with big brother just in case he gets to him first.
27:34I don't know what's going on.
27:36But I think we're about to find out.
27:40Mandy, my dear, everything ready?
27:42Come along now.
27:43They'll be here in a minute.
27:47Where's all the food?
27:48There ain't any.
27:49I beg your pardon?
27:50There ain't any.
27:52There ain't any?
27:53Where's Henry?
27:54He's gone.
27:55Gone?
27:55Gone where?
27:57He went to get some napkins an hour ago and I haven't seen him since.
28:00But he's got to be here.
28:02I've got 20 people arriving expecting sausages and vol-a-vans.
28:05Well, he ain't in there.
28:06What about the wedge I gave him for the food?
28:07Oh, that's all in there, but he ain't done nothing with it.
28:09He can't do this to me.
28:11I've got my reputation to think of.
28:12Well, he ain't here, is he?
28:14Everything all right, Arthur?
28:15Yes, everything's fine, Arnie.
28:17Just doing a few last-minute preparations.
28:19Nothing to worry you about.
28:20Well, there don't seem to be much food about, Arthur.
28:23Oh, no, no, no.
28:23All in the kitchen, under wraps.
28:24Health regulations.
28:25We were just about to lay it out when you came in.
28:27Right.
28:28Well, I'll be downstairs if you need me, all right?
28:30Oh, good, Tom.
28:31Right.
28:32Right.
28:34Just a few last-minute preparations.
28:39Mandy, you can do it.
28:41You're joking.
28:42I can't cook.
28:43You don't have to cook.
28:44It's a buffet.
28:45It don't matter what it is.
28:46I'm hopeless with food.
28:47I always have been.
28:51Well, don't look at me.
28:52Well, it can't be difficult.
28:54We've got all the food.
28:54All we've got to do is make some sandwiches.
28:56Come on, Mandy.
28:57And listen, when Henri comes back,
28:58I want him severely chastised.
29:00You have my permission.
29:01Do anything that is necessary.
29:44Here, what should I put in these?
29:45Oh, I don't know.
29:46Open a tin or something.
29:46Here, Arthur.
29:48Here, take these in.
29:49They're coming in.
29:50Well, hurry up, then.
29:51No, I think you'd better come and have a look.
29:52Here, can you smell burning?
29:54What?
29:54No.
29:55Oh, go all my sausage rolls.
29:59Oh.
30:00Oh.
30:02Oh.
30:04May I have me do something?
30:05Yeah.
30:06Oh.
30:06Ah.
30:08It looks like sausage rolls, sir.
30:11Arthur, I really do think you should come and have a look.
30:13Why do I have to do everything myself?
30:15I ask you to do a simple job, and you cannot do it.
30:27What's the penalty for poisoning nowadays?
30:31Don't even joke about it.
30:33Cut hold of these, dear.
30:34Arnie never said anything about feeding the old bill.
30:37Look, on the bright side, I mean, things can't get any worse, can they?
30:44And I thought you didn't have any time for the uniformed lads.
30:47I don't.
30:49But the super would be there, would he?
30:50Won't do the career any harm, will it?
30:53No, Sarge.
30:56Are you sure you've got this number?
30:58I'll call you as soon as anything happens.
31:00All right.
31:04All right.
31:09OK, merci, yeah?
31:16Go!
31:17Go!
31:17Come on, let's go!
31:23Come on, son!
31:25Come on, mate!
31:27Come on, mate!
31:35Pour les vues français.
31:40Come on, Linford!
31:58Well, what happened?
32:05Nothing.
32:06Nothing?
32:08Don't tell me nothing, Colin.
32:10He's got to be somewhere.
32:12He's got a car lot and a warehouse next to the North Circular.
32:15But he's not at either of them.
32:17What about this club?
32:19Winchester?
32:20Hasn't been in since dinner time.
32:22And they don't know where he is?
32:23Well, I spoke to his partner there.
32:25If he did know, he wasn't letting on.
32:27I could go back.
32:27No.
32:30This daily doesn't know we're looking for him yet.
32:32No point in changing that.
32:35If he does know where the Frenchman is, we don't want him warned off.
32:40So what now?
32:42Vinny?
32:42Not yet.
32:44There must be something we've missed.
32:49I must be getting old.
32:57Bingo.
33:10Sandwiches?
33:10Oh, thank you.
33:14Sandwiches?
33:15Oh, no.
33:20Sandwiches?
33:22Sandwiches?
33:23Oh, sorry.
33:33I don't feel well.
33:35We need some help out here.
33:36I think it's something I hit.
33:37I'm going.
33:38No, you ain't.
33:39Uncle.
33:40All right, John.
33:41All right?
33:41Yeah, fine.
33:41You're something.
33:43Come on.
34:03Hello, Arthur.
34:05Glad to see you new here.
34:06A drink.
34:09Cheers.
34:10Daly.
34:10Oh, hello, Mr Morley.
34:12What the hell are you doing?
34:13Throw him out.
34:14You can't throw me out.
34:15I'm the wine waiter.
34:17What?
34:17You mean?
34:18Daly catering.
34:19At your service.
34:20You're winding me up?
34:22No, no, no.
34:22I think you'll find it's all above board and legal, Mr Morley.
34:25What idiot would book you to do the catering for a police do?
34:29I believe Superintendent McElroy made a booking, but I will pass on your observations.
34:38Some cop had just spilled wine all down me.
34:40I want that suit cleaned and pressed before you bring it back to me.
34:43You what?
34:43Waiter.
34:44I think he's talking to you.
34:49Everything all right?
34:50If they carry on like this, we're going to run out of food.
34:52I'll open another tin of something.
34:54There's nothing left except a tray of cremated sausage rolls.
34:57Well, meet downstairs and see Arnie.
34:58Get some crisps and bits.
35:00Use your initiative.
35:01Crisps?
35:02Yeah, and don't hand them round in the bags.
35:03Put them on plates with a little bit of cucumber on the side.
35:06It's more old cuisine.
35:07What?
35:07Get the crisps!
35:13Is it pretending?
35:15Come on.
35:15Ha, ha, ha, ha.
35:28Where can I find Arthur Daly?
35:44Gentlemen, girls, when I first came to Merton Road, like the rest of you, I was sent to see
35:50Sam for a few gentle words of advice.
35:54He knew where all the villains lived.
35:57Their mum's names were cast their trash.
35:58Well, I think we can mark that down as a resounding success, Raymond.
36:01It's so far.
36:02Listen, look, go and mingle.
36:03Hand a few of these out.
36:04Sergeants and above.
36:06Well, maybe you should put an ad in the police gazette.
36:11I suppose you're enjoying this, Daly.
36:13Oh, would you like another drink, Mr Morley?
36:14Something to eat?
36:15No, I wouldn't.
36:16You should eat more, Mr Morley.
36:18Build up your strength.
36:19You are what you eat.
36:21Pork scratchings?
36:23But, er, they said they were sorry they couldn't come.
36:25They had a job on.
36:26Oh, my feet.
36:29Of course, me waiter, I'll flatter them.
36:31Raymond, super's glass is empty.
36:33He drinks like a fish.
36:34You might as well give him the old bottle.
36:36Hey, look, you better start clearing the tables.
36:38If they get inebriated, I don't want them breaking the crockery.
36:41Right.
37:05Arthur Daly.
37:06Who's asking?
37:08I am.
37:09Oh, in that case, I think I can safely say I'm not the man you're looking for.
37:13Someone would like a word.
37:14But I can't leave now.
37:16I've got to take the sweet trolley round.
37:17I don't think you understand.
37:19You see, we insist.
37:22This is all a mistake.
37:24Raymond, Mr Morley, superintendent.
37:36Where the hell's Daly?
37:37Good question.
37:38Good question.
38:01Charles Hasnable had a change of art yet.
38:03Not a word.
38:17Chip?
38:18Oh, you've got to ease.
38:20Keep your strength up.
38:22I mean, we could be here all night till you tell me something I want to hear.
38:26All I want to know is what it is you've got that my big brother wants to get his hands
38:29on so badly.
38:30I've told you I have nothing of his.
38:33I know you used to work at one of his restaurants.
38:35What was it?
38:36Run off with the takings?
38:38Nah, Billy wouldn't come all this way for a few measly quid.
38:41Has to be more than that.
38:46Is this something to do with his Brummie operation?
38:48Do you know something?
38:49Is that it?
38:49I don't know anything.
38:52I think you do.
38:53Well, you can think what you like.
38:57How long have you known Billy?
38:59Not long.
39:00I spent my first 20 years with him.
39:03Do you know something?
39:04In all that time, he never asked me for anything.
39:06Not once.
39:08Probably thought I didn't have anything worth asking for.
39:11And then you fall in me lap.
39:13I don't have anything that he wants.
39:15That is not what I want to hear.
39:19I swear, there is nothing.
39:22So, okay, why don't I just hand you over to Billy?
39:25No, you can't do that.
39:28Why not?
39:30He's violent.
39:33I know, but you don't seem to be giving me any other choice.
39:36You can't take me to him.
39:38He is me brother after all.
39:39And blood is thicker than water.
39:41No.
39:42I don't see what else I can do.
39:44I mean, you're hardly being cooperative, are you?
39:48You don't understand.
39:54So enlighten me.
39:56You let me go?
39:58If I tell you what it is he wants?
40:00Trust me.
40:03Trust me.
40:08This is all a terrible mistake.
40:11I'm I the respective pillar of the community.
40:13Shut it.
40:14Oh, very nice.
40:16Inside.
40:22Hey, Steffi.
40:24Mr. Daly.
40:26How nice to see you.
40:28Please, take a seat.
40:31Uh, no, I won't if you'd help me.
40:34Oh, all right, yeah, just for a few minutes.
40:37Don't hurt our guest, Colin.
40:38After all, he's only here to help us, aren't you?
40:40Am I?
40:41Well, yeah, of course, if I can.
40:43You see, Colin, Arthur's anxious to help us.
40:46Fairly bubbling over the enthusiasm.
40:50You're a hard man to find, Arthur.
40:52We almost gave up.
40:53Yeah, well, I was at a dinner with, uh, Superintendent McElroy.
40:57I expect he's wondering where I got this.
40:59Superintendent?
41:02I'm impressed.
41:05It's nice to have friends in our place, isn't it, Colin?
41:07Yeah, perhaps I ought to give him a call.
41:08I don't want him worrying.
41:09Don't you concern yourself, Arthur.
41:12We won't detain you long.
41:13Just a few questions, that's all.
41:20He can't just disappear.
41:22First Henry, now Mr. Daly.
41:26It's like the Bermuda Triangle, isn't it?
41:28Well, he ain't at the lock-up.
41:31I'll try Broxford Road.
41:34We're looking for a friend of yours.
41:39I ain't got no friends.
41:41Well, perhaps the odd business acquaintance,
41:43but no one you'd call close.
41:50No, no, I can honestly say,
41:54I have never seen that man before in my life.
42:01That is willful destruction of property.
42:04When he got that yesterday, it's not insured.
42:07He breaks other things as well.
42:10Oh, well, no, no, no, no, no, you mention it.
42:12He does have a sort of vague familiar...
42:15He couldn't be French, could he?
42:16See?
42:17It didn't hurt, did it?
42:19Now, just you tell us how we can get hold of him,
42:21we'll be off.
42:21I don't know.
42:22I don't.
42:23He just disappeared.
42:24And caused me no little personal inconvenience
42:27in the process.
42:28I mean, I like to have a word with him.
42:29Now, why don't I believe you?
42:31But it's the truth.
42:32You ask anyone, my word is my bond.
42:42Hello?
42:43Arthur?
42:44Hello?
42:51Look, can you keep this lot happy for a while?
42:53Where are you going?
42:54I won't be long.
42:59I want an address.
43:01I haven't got one.
43:02Come on, he works for you.
43:04He must know where he lives.
43:05No, it was a sort of informal arrangement.
43:07I haven't got any of his personal details.
43:10Tell Mr Daly what you do, Colin.
43:12I'm a memory consultant.
43:14I help people remember things.
43:17Would you like Colin to help you, Mr Daly?
43:20Perhaps he can jog your memory.
43:21No, look, you don't understand.
43:23I'm the innocent party in all this.
43:25Colin.
43:25No!
43:26Leave him alone, Billy.
43:27He don't know anything.
43:28Stay out of this, Vinny.
43:29None of your business.
43:31Wrong.
43:32My manner.
43:34My business.
43:35You never did know when to leave things alone, did you?
43:37You can talk.
43:39You could never leave me alone, could you, Billy?
43:40I was picking at me.
43:42I was never good enough, was I?
43:43Look, if you two want to have a private chat.
43:44Shut it.
43:47Look, all I want is a Frenchman.
43:50Once I've got him, I'll be gone.
43:52I've got him.
43:54You what?
43:56You heard.
43:59This time, I'm the one calling the shots, Billy.
44:01Not you.
44:02You don't understand.
44:04I know what he did, Billy.
44:05Then you know why I've got to have him.
44:06Yeah.
44:09But first, you say please.
44:13You could never say please, could you, Billy?
44:15You never had to.
44:16It was me dead or the begging.
44:18I couldn't break wind without running to ask you first.
44:21Now it's your turn.
44:35I can't hear you, Billy.
44:38He's defiled my daughter.
44:41For God's sake, man, my little girl, she's pregnant.
44:45Please.
44:48He's downstairs in the motor.
45:09Right, John, home.
45:32Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the cavalry was supposed to get there before the Indians scalped General
45:38Custer.
45:39How did I know where you were?
45:41You just vanished.
45:42Oh, maybe I should have asked them if I could leave a note.
45:44So's my mind and would know where I was.
45:47Still, everything turned out all right in the end, eh?
45:49That's not the point, Dave.
45:50I was in mortal peril.
45:51It's been a very harrowing day.
45:53Stop moaning and have another drink.
45:55So what's got out to Henry, then?
45:57Well, according to Vinnie, Billy can't stand the shame of an illegit grandson.
46:02So wedding bells are in the offing.
46:05Hey, maybe I should give him a bell.
46:07Put in a quote for the catering.
46:10Aye, aye.
46:11Stand by your bits.
46:15Oh, look, Park.
46:17It's the Galloping Gourmet.
46:19You going to take the drinks, Sergeant Warley?
46:21Ah, no, thank you.
46:22This is not a social visit.
46:24Your revelry finished, Mr Warley?
46:25You should have seen it, Dave.
46:27It was a sort of placid house party.
46:29Yeah, that's why I'm here, actually, Dave.
46:32See, my day wasn't entirely wasted after all.
46:35Oh?
46:37Really?
46:38The chief superintendent.
46:40Just been rushed off to hospital.
46:42In fact, he's probably having his stomach pumped out at this very moment.
46:45I hope you're not suggesting any of my comestibles were responsible, Mr Morley.
46:49I have witnesses.
46:50Slander charges could be brought.
46:52Samples have been sent to the lab.
46:54No doubt you'll be notified of the results in due course.
46:58Look at that, gentlemen.
47:00Come on, Park.
47:04He don't give up, does he?
47:06Don't worry, Arthur.
47:07Don't have a job proving it was down to you.
47:10No, I've given up worrying, Dave.
47:12I'm just going to sit here and drink all night.
47:13Chuck me out before you lock up.
47:16Well, much as I'd like to stay and keep you company.
47:19Oi, where are you going?
47:20You're driving me home.
47:23Sorry, Arthur.
47:24I've got other plans.
47:25What other plans?
47:26You ready, Ray?
47:27Just coming.
47:29See you later, chaps.
47:30Put him in a cab for me, Dave.
47:33What is wrong with the youth of today, Dave?
47:36Complete lack of moral fibre.
47:38I blame the parents.
47:40Yeah.
47:42And the uncles.
47:43Exactly.
47:44We have to break.
47:45I love you, other than if I want to.
47:47knew...
47:47...
