00:20Number four, anything else?
00:22Do you mean do I want to stock up on a month's groceries?
00:24No, thank you.
00:26I'm old-fashioned about petrol stations.
00:28These are popular.
00:29You hang them over your mirror and they give off a scent.
00:31They're supposed to relax you for when you're tense.
00:34If you're suggesting I'm in need of automotive value, I'm sure you I've never felt better.
00:38I'll have a quarter of a minute Imperials.
00:39Haven't got any.
00:41After Dark's nice.
00:42They have that lovely music on the end.
00:43After Dark?
00:44What kind of name's that for a sweet?
00:46There it is.
00:47Listen.
00:47Slip into something smooth.
00:50After Dark.
00:51That's what I'm trying to say.
00:52Life is more exciting.
00:53I'm delighted to hear it.
00:54After Dark, chocolates.
00:55You wouldn't believe our sales have gone up since that spin-on.
00:58Car crime in the capital.
01:00We'll be speaking to the representatives of the insurance companies.
01:09I swear someone's been creeping up in the night and making free with a fertiliser.
01:14Do what?
01:15My stock is growing.
01:18That is not the usual way in a motor trade, Ray.
01:21You buy the vehicles and they hope that you're going to shift them.
01:24Not so that you can put together a motor museum that'll give Lord Beaujolais a run for his money.
01:29Here, Arthur.
01:30Three.
01:32Like the descent into 80s.
01:34Where?
01:3580s.
01:36A club me and your dad used to frequent in the 50s.
01:40Camden Town.
01:41Bit on the earthy side, but it was cheap.
01:44We only ever visited when we thought the business looked as if it was going to croak.
01:48Oh, well.
01:51When Harry Hawkins was around, we had this manor stitched up.
01:54He took one side of the canal, I had the other.
01:57Never the twain should meet.
01:59We knew what the going prices were.
02:01We had an understanding.
02:02I mean, no punt was going to take a bus across town to check.
02:05No point.
02:06The fare would swallow up any profit they made by shopping around.
02:09Alcyon days, Ray.
02:11Alcyon days.
02:12And we shall never see their light again.
02:14Now Don Geddley's taken over.
02:15You can't give in, Alper.
02:17Ray, you can only lower your prices so far.
02:19I thought this Geddley character was into banking or something.
02:22Financial crisis management, Ray.
02:24Cash flow correction.
02:25You what?
02:26He's a money lender.
02:27His rates are slightly less than the Vatican Bank,
02:30and he does open on Sundays, and he doesn't ask where the cash is going.
02:32Yeah, well couldn't Harry have got a loan from the bank cover what he owed, Geddley?
02:35He probably had no choice.
02:37Surrender the franchise or spend the rest of eternity
02:39propping up a little known bit of the M4.
02:42I know which I'd choose.
02:44I need the bank.
02:45Right.
02:46I'll get back to you soon as I can.
02:47Well, I'll see you later, sir.
02:50No joy?
02:51Mr Geddley, he said he was coming right back.
02:53Yeah?
02:54Yeah.
02:54I did everything you said.
02:55Low key, no pressure, buy the book.
02:57Well, let's hope he does.
02:58Be nice to get rid of that one.
03:00Yeah.
03:01Out.
03:04Knock it out at 17.50.
03:06Your customer will have no excuse if he comes back now, eh?
03:09Can we afford that?
03:09Don't worry, I've worked it out.
03:12Besides, I think it's time we turn the heat up on the locals and have a notch.
03:16Right then.
03:17I'm off to check Gedleys out.
03:19You think of all the years and all the hard work you put in and make this business what
03:22it is, Arthur.
03:24Tell you what, we ain't going down without a fight.
03:26Ray, be careful.
03:44Morning, Mr Carson.
03:45I was just passing, so I thought I'd drop in.
03:47Save you running by with the old man's money.
03:55Oh, don't worry, it's all there.
03:57That's not all of it.
03:59It's only about 400 there.
04:00Yeah.
04:01Well, you owe another two and a half grand.
04:03What?
04:04That's what you owe.
04:05With interest.
04:06At current rates.
04:09Your father said that I...
04:09Dad's been poorly.
04:11He's left me in charge and I want it all.
04:13We had a deal!
04:14Don't get jumpy.
04:15I'm a reasonable man.
04:17First rule of credit.
04:18Set your credit as repayment schemes eight in a fold.
04:21It's just the interest.
04:24And I want all of it.
04:25Well, listen, I can't possibly...
04:27Clumsy.
04:29It's up to you.
04:31Look, all I've got to do is pick up the phone and tell...
04:33I don't even think about going to the police.
04:35They'll only want to know what you used the loan for in the first place.
04:39You see, my dad allowed one or two sloppy business practices to develop.
04:44Well, I'm just getting us all ship-shaped.
04:47Next Tuesday, then.
04:49Can't raise that kind of money.
04:51You'll think of something.
04:54Ooh.
04:56That was a close one.
05:07Hello there.
05:08Can I help you?
05:09Yeah.
05:10Cavalier.
05:11Is that right?
05:12Well, Mr. Gedley may be able to go a little lower for cash.
05:19After dark, Arthur.
05:22You know, slip into something smooth after dark.
05:27Extraordinary.
05:28You must have heard it.
05:30Haven't you listened to the radio?
05:31No, not since the bagel I went out of winter.
05:33Well, you've tasted one.
05:35What?
05:36The chocolates.
05:37Dave, I'm surprised at you.
05:38Cometh the hour, cometh the cocoa fiend.
05:41I'm not concerned with the merit of that particular piece of confectionery.
05:44It is the wireless as a means of mass communication and arm-twisting that I'm interested in.
05:49I'll take it the portents are not favourable.
05:51A G-Reg metro under a grand.
05:54Less if you pull a face.
05:55I just don't know how he's doing it.
05:57And the old stock's like that.
05:58It's just not like a one-off.
05:59Plus, it's forever as far as I can see.
06:01Not like the little four-hour promotion we had last week.
06:04Yeah, and it's not like Don Gedley, Arthur.
06:06I mean, he's bought businesses before, but he just sells them on for a quick profit.
06:09You never know how people are going to turn out when the circumstances suit, Dave.
06:12Yeah, but what are we going to do?
06:14Plunder the airwaves, Ray.
06:15Do what?
06:16You're quite right.
06:18Daily Enterprises has earned its right to a slice of the automotive cake,
06:21and I am not giving up without a fight.
06:23Well, Arthur, we're not going to start nicking stuff, are we?
06:25No, no, no.
06:26Far from it, Ray.
06:27I'm talking about a new approach.
06:28A hard-edged advertising campaign that will put the name of Daily
06:32slap in the middle of every household on the manor.
06:35Arthur wants to make an advert for the tranny.
06:38Even now, there are thousands of individuals banging up their blood sugar level
06:42because of a ludicrous little ditty on the light programme about a new fruit and nut.
06:46What?
06:46Well, those same simple souls will be queuing up to buy a motor off the Daily forecourt
06:51by the end of the week.
06:52All we've got to do is think up a nice snappy ad.
06:55Yeah, but, Arthur, that costs a fortune.
06:56You've got airtime presenters, all that.
06:58Ray, the uninitiated may end up shelling out, but you are forgetting.
07:02The Daily is like a Boy Scout, with a full complement of sweater adornment.
07:07He is always prepared.
07:15You sound as if you're at a funeral wake.
07:17He's not used to it, Arthur.
07:19You should have gone to the professionals, Arthur.
07:20I mean, look at this gear.
07:21You're a bad workman, Ray, bad workman.
07:23Yeah, but what about this music, Arthur?
07:24Shouldn't it be a bit more upbeat?
07:26Up what?
07:26Get up.
07:27Get up and go.
07:27Dave, as much as I appreciate your efforts on the knob-triddling front, may I remind you,
07:31I once met Matt Munro, and what he passed on over a couple of cappuccinos in Iwickon bus station
07:37about what's got swing you couldn't hope to learn in a lifetime.
07:40Come on, let's have another go.
07:41Arthur, I'm knackered.
07:42Look, we'll have a break in a minute, and try and get it right this time,
07:44because that's the last clean tape we got.
07:46Right, stand by.
07:48Ray, big breath, and speak nicely.
07:52Dave?
07:57Music.
08:07Thinking of buying a used car, Daily Motors is the place to come.
08:11It's a family firm run by a man you can trust, Arthur Daly, and its prices are rock bottom.
08:16If you don't believe us, ask Phil Collins or any one of our satisfied customers.
08:20But remember, put Daily Motors first.
08:24Cut.
08:27I knew that little pep talk would work.
08:29Tripped off the tongue of the treat, Ray.
08:31You sure about Phil Collins, Arthur?
08:33Yeah, of course.
08:34Phil Collins, the butcher, bought that caravanette.
08:37What happens now, dear, Arthur?
08:38Well, we'll give it a couple of weeks' try-out on Radio What's It,
08:41see how many punters he pulls in.
08:42You might have to get extra help in the car lot.
08:44What do you reckon it'll cost us for a week?
08:46Monkey?
08:47You've got to be joking.
08:48That won't buy you a day.
08:49Well, you suss it out.
08:50I'm prepared to go to two grand.
08:51And don't forget, discount for first-time buyers.
08:54Off you go.
08:55Right.
08:59I don't want that kind of business.
09:01And I certainly don't want you getting involved in it.
09:04I want you straight.
09:06That's why you've got an education.
09:08So you don't have to do the sort of things I did.
09:11I mean, the way you're carrying on, you'll have enemies queue round the block for a tilt from now till
09:17doomsday.
09:18Business is the business of survival, Dan.
09:20Cobblers!
09:21Look, I know you're trying to impress me and you're a good lad, but do me a favour.
09:26Dan, if you could just listen.
09:27No.
09:28And I want you to sort out all this aggro you've caused.
09:32Tell Carson he's got the usual time to pay the normal amount.
09:37And tell Arthur Daly the prices are going back to reality before you bankrupt us both.
09:43All right?
09:50See, the thing about advertising, Dave, you've got to give it a chance to work.
09:53I mean, today's Friday.
09:55Now, it'll probably be Monday before the first waves sweep through the gate.
09:58Fingers crossed, Arthur.
09:59There is no room for superstition in the world of high tech, Dave.
10:02Genius and ingenuity will overcome all eventualities.
10:06Evening.
10:07Ray, I hope they charge by the use and not the day, because we haven't heard anything yet.
10:10You're not going to, either.
10:12I beg your pardon?
10:13Well, I've done some ringing round, Arthur.
10:15I told you to go personally.
10:18That is not broadcast spec.
10:20What are you talking about? That's best quadrophobic.
10:23In addition, they charge slightly more to broadcast on advert than you think.
10:26Well, I don't mind going higher. How much?
10:27Here. I've written it all down for you.
10:32What?
10:32My life.
10:33But listen, Arthur, I've got a couple of mates who work for a local radio station.
10:36Well, I haven't seen them for a while, but...
10:37Ray, do it. I am not paying that.
10:39Yeah, but the thing is, it's, um...
10:42Well, it's not exactly, uh...
10:43It's not exactly Radio 4.
10:45I know. Primitive equipment, only on the air at certain times.
10:48Jimmy Young, Brian Blackburn, they've all been there.
10:51That doesn't worry me.
10:51You want me a word in, then?
10:53See what they can muster for a reasonable fee on-air ASAP.
10:57Then you'd better get on with it, otherwise the cars will be worth less than the cost of the ad.
11:00Right.
11:01Large one, please, Dave.
11:02No, no. Make a small one.
11:26Not a word. Let me guess.
11:28The Golf.
11:29What can I say? Overhead can, 16 valves, and enough horses to keep Princess Anne happy.
11:35I like that one.
11:38Well, speed isn't everything.
11:40It certainly isn't.
11:42And, uh, this particular model comes with a crumple zone.
11:47Outside, a reinforced steel safety cage with a titanium bulkhead, full-impact rubber protection bumpers, and a collapsible steering column.
11:55Does your no-claims make interesting reading?
11:58Clean as a whistle, still. You never know what you might run into, do you?
12:01Oh, I couldn't agree with you more.
12:02And I'm delighted to see the youth of today as the foresight to recognise that. Allow me.
12:27I hope you don't mind my asking, Mr, um, is it the automotive safety of your family that you're concerned
12:34about?
12:35Well, I haven't got that far down the line yet.
12:37Nevertheless, getting the vehicular infrastructure in place so that, uh, nature can take its course unburdened by practicality.
12:46It's very refreshing, very refreshing.
12:48Any of my acquaintances start banging on about the tearaway generation, I'll give them your number.
12:54Yeah, may I demonstrate the, uh...
12:55Kick down all right on us?
12:56What? Oh, yeah, I believe so.
12:58Uh, 0 to 60 in 12 and a half seconds, according to the more reliable test.
13:02Yes. Of course they do err on the Conservative side.
13:24Drives nicely, doesn't it?
13:25Beautiful.
13:26The pressureлекс of how someone needs to go.
13:29I want to think a little bit of a Insane called Bless.
13:37That's so powerful.
13:37I hate Mama.
13:42Oh!
13:42Oh!
13:43Oh!
13:52Oh, my God.
14:14This Ram Raider, what did he take?
14:18Well, apart from a diabolical liberty with my person, I've no idea.
14:21But he was a Ram Raider.
14:23Oh, I may be doing him a terrible disservice.
14:25But when he'd hurled himself through a plate glass window in a nicked car,
14:28he's hardly in a position to quibble, is he?
14:30But the motor wasn't nicked. You were sitting beside him.
14:33A technicality.
14:35It wasn't his, and I hadn't given him permission to give the shop an alfresco aspect with it.
14:41What did he look like?
14:42He's a punter.
14:44They looked the same after a certain point.
14:46Green.
14:47And I promised to pay the bearer stamped all over them.
14:50And what was he wearing?
14:52Suit, coat.
14:53Colour?
14:54Blue, black. I don't know.
14:56But, Mr Daly, can you give me any more detail?
14:59He was an average punter.
15:02Averagely dressed.
15:04You must realise I wasn't particularly sensitive to my surroundings towards the end.
15:08I was making my peace with the Almighty.
15:11If you want a detailed ID, ask him.
15:14He had the perfect view as the motor went straight into his Louie the What's It wardrobe.
15:17Yes, thank you, Mr Daly.
15:19We do tend to interview most eyewitnesses to a crime.
15:22It's an old police trick.
15:24And you're right.
15:25Mr Carson has come up with a very clear description of the driver.
15:29Would you care to repeat your statement, Mr Carson, in front of my colleague?
15:33It was him.
15:33He was driving.
15:35Oh, yeah, no.
15:36Would you care to blow into the box, Mr Daly?
15:42No, no.
15:44No, no, no.
15:46No, no, no.
16:01No, no, no.
16:08Oh, yeah.
16:11Right.
16:16Right, man.
16:17The slamming officer.
16:19The thingy.
16:21You're going to love this bit.
16:24Smacked you right in the post.
16:26Come on, you're all getting introduced.
16:28That's Mr. Dean, you better still don't win.
16:31The cost of the job that's weaker than one.
16:33The wicked has killed and the real will fight.
16:35Got that, did that, here's that.
16:38It's obviously what I've done in the concept, Arthur.
16:41You've got to remember, time's changed.
16:42Whatever you think, right.
16:46You're all right.
16:49Got that, did that, here's that.
16:52Here we go again.
16:54Come on, I'll get it to the beat.
16:59You should have said something, Arthur.
17:01I tried to.
17:02The decibel level wasn't conducive.
17:05So who was he, eh?
17:06Well, if I knew that, do you think you'd be sitting there now?
17:09What did he look like?
17:10Oh, don't you start.
17:11Nothing out of the ordinary, average, no distinguishing marks whatsoever.
17:15What are you going to do?
17:17What can I do?
17:18I've got a report with my driving documents to the station
17:21and undergo further questioning.
17:23But why is this antique skiser the point of the finger at you?
17:25Well, presumably he was in the same state of shock as I was.
17:28I'm hoping his memory will clear once the trauma subsides.
17:33Easy, Arthur.
17:34Go, Danny, go, Danny, yo!
17:36Moe! Moe! Moe!
17:37They have a problem with English.
17:39They'll get through to the man on the street, Arthur.
17:41Trust me, who are they?
17:43That's King Master Mike and Colcay.
17:45I thought you said friends were involved.
17:47Yeah, King Master Mike.
17:48That's Michael, Mickey Evans.
17:51Chalky Evans, little lad.
17:53Moe! Moe! Moe! Moe!
17:54Who's the urban gorilla with him?
17:56That's Nigel Jones.
17:59Spotty Nige.
18:00Used to come to Battersea funfair with us.
18:02Was sick all down the altar skelter.
18:03Yeah.
18:04What happened?
18:06He grew up.
18:08Do you really think they'll put Daily Motors on the map?
18:10I guarantee it, Arthur.
18:11Here.
18:12Look at these flyers.
18:14It's their own design.
18:15They give it a full money.
18:16They make sure everyone on the manor knows what you're about.
18:18Who paid for these?
18:20Look, I know times are tough, Arthur.
18:21You can give me the money back when we start shifting motors, eh?
18:24Well, you're a good lad, Ray.
18:26Go Daily! Go Daily!
18:28Go!
18:29Ray, I feel subliminally moved.
18:32I think I'll leave you and the lads to get on with it.
18:34Are you sure?
18:35Positive, Ray.
18:38He loves it.
18:41Sweet.
18:42Carson has a claim up on his insurance and pays off what he owes us.
18:45And Daley gets further reminder, should he need it,
18:48that there ain't room for two car dealers on this manor.
18:50What if your mother was still here?
18:52I know it's not exactly what you said.
18:54It's a diametric bloody opposite.
18:56Hang on, hang on.
18:58I know it's going against orders, but I know what I'm doing.
19:02If the police find out...
19:04Don't worry.
19:06Look, you've got to realise,
19:08sometimes it's hard to make changes.
19:10It's frightening.
19:11I'll tell you what's bloody frightening you are.
19:13Look, I can improve the efficiency of this company 100%
19:18because you still avoid facing up to it
19:20because you're worried you might not be able to cope,
19:22that it might be too much for you.
19:24No problem.
19:25I've done it for you.
19:27You're my flesh and blood, Grant.
19:29I love you, I'd do anything for you,
19:31but you're not acting right.
19:33It's got to stop all this craziness.
19:36You've got to show me some respect.
19:38Well, that's what I'm trying to do, through the business.
19:40That is it.
19:41An end.
19:42The aggro stops here.
19:45I'm afraid of God, Daly don't put two and two together.
19:48I told you.
19:49I've made sure Daly's well-stitched.
19:54It's good of you to come forward, Darren.
19:57Now, I want you to take your time,
19:58and if you see the person who was driving the vehicle
20:00when it went through the shop window,
20:02just tell me his number, OK?
20:07Your own time.
20:18The shifty git, number six.
20:23Get him to say Omar Gould.
20:25Stick some under some windscreen wipers,
20:27stick a couple on a lamp post or two,
20:29your uncle's going to be the top boy in a manor.
20:31That's magic, Nige.
20:32Right.
20:33Sorry, Kate.
20:34Takes a bit of getting used to.
20:35And once we've done these,
20:36me and my man will get off and finish the trails.
20:39We'll be cutting through the stratospire this evening.
20:41That's safe.
20:41Sooner the better, eh?
20:42That's right.
20:43Listen, man, which side of the road do you want?
20:45Listen, do you mind if I leave you lads too?
20:46I've just got to check something out with Arthur.
20:48I'll be back later, yeah?
20:49No worries, Ray.
20:50Later.
20:50Hang loose, my brother.
20:51And you, sir.
20:53Doesn't look good, does it?
20:55Circumstantial evidence.
20:56What?
20:57Two independent witnesses finger you
20:59as the bloke with directional difficulties,
21:01and one testifies that you'd definitely
21:03climbed out of the driver's side of the car.
21:06Now, I should say that the evidence against you
21:08is about as watertight as it gets.
21:10The reason I was seen bravely climbing
21:13from the wreckage on the driver's side
21:15was because my door was wedged.
21:17And as to any other witnesses,
21:19I suggest you check their probity
21:20and any suspicious substances lurking in their bloodstream.
21:24Casting aspersions on the witnesses already.
21:27They usually save that for the courtroom.
21:30Mr. Tompkins, ask yourself one question.
21:33If, as you suggest, I was the man behind the wheel,
21:37why, after driving one of my own motors
21:40at breakneck speed through a plate glass window,
21:42did I decide against nicking anything
21:44and instead hung around waiting
21:46for the pleasure of your interrogation?
21:50I don't know.
22:25Thank God that's all sorted out.
22:26It hasn't been sorted out.
22:28You've been cautioned.
22:29You're still very much under suspicion.
22:31Like the Russian linesman, my conscience is clear.
22:34Nevertheless, you're not to leave the country.
22:36I beg your pardon?
22:37A statutory request.
22:39We'll need to speak to you again
22:40once we've checked one or two things out.
22:42Look, you can check out as much as you like
22:43until you find the lunatic
22:45with a penchant for drive-through shopping.
22:46This crime will remain unsolved.
22:48Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an empire to run.
22:51Good day.
22:59Mike, what's happened?
23:01Where's Kay?
23:02He's all right.
23:04See my mouth?
23:05Cut to ribbons.
23:06I can't go in there.
23:07What happened?
23:08Geezer took exception to the flyers
23:10and decided to give me some back.
23:12Who was he?
23:13Dunno.
23:13It was Finn.
23:15Brown hair.
23:16He had something to do at Gedley's.
23:17I was outside there, just, you know.
23:19Mike!
23:19Look, it was only a bit of a lark.
23:21Only this bloke's is a nutter.
23:23He went wild when he got a hold of me.
23:26And before he banged me in the mouth the last time,
23:28he told me to tell Arthur
23:30there's more of the same waiting for him.
23:32Right.
23:33You wait here.
23:35I've had enough of this.
23:40Yeah, I'll see you later.
23:43I've got to go.
23:45Can I help you, sir?
23:47My name's Daley.
23:48Ray Daley.
23:49Now, I reckon you've got a good idea
23:51why a good mate of mine's just been roughed up.
23:53I also reckon that you green-lighted
23:55whoever it was to drive my uncle through a shop window.
23:57Now, what I've come to say is this.
23:59You call him off.
24:01Daley Motors is staying.
24:03And no amount of threats or suicide cost-cutting
24:05is going to change there.
24:06Do you hear me?
24:08Hard and clear.
24:10Loyalty.
24:12I like that.
24:14Now, you listen to me.
24:17I don't know what you're talking about.
24:19I've been away.
24:21Whatever's going on in your business
24:22is nothing to do with me.
24:24And do you ever barge in here again without an invite?
24:28I'll have my lawyers crawling over you so fast
24:30you'll think you've gone down with some nasty disease.
24:33Now, get out!
24:38Fine words are one thing.
24:40You make sure you've got your facts right first!
24:44All right, mate.
24:45See you later.
24:50Hello there.
24:51Jerry Parker.
24:52Cavalier, right?
24:53Yeah.
24:54Yeah, that's actually gone now, I'm afraid.
24:55We might have another at the end of the week
24:56if you're still interested.
24:57Yeah, no thanks, mate.
24:58Hey, I can have a chat with Mr Gedley about a cash discount.
25:01Shame he was in, Harry.
25:02I could have introduced you.
25:03To Mr Gedley?
25:04Yeah, he was in a rush.
25:05I had to get to a car auction.
25:06Look, I'll have a chat with him first thing in the morning.
25:08All right?
25:09Yeah, if it's, uh, not too much trouble.
25:12Cheers.
25:28Half a daily.
25:30Don?
25:31I know.
25:32I think we need to talk.
25:33I don't think so.
25:35I'm not thinking of selling up.
25:36About your accident.
25:38I suspect I know who was responsible.
25:41You do?
25:43I bought you a little something.
25:45To help make up.
25:51That's very generous.
25:53Especially from a competitor.
25:55That kind of solidarity brings a lump to the throat.
25:58Yeah, well, no-one likes to see liberties being taken.
26:02If you see the young reprobate responsible,
26:05I trust you'll give him a severe reprimand.
26:07I guarantee it.
26:08He's my lad.
26:11You mean there's another one?
26:12There are two of you.
26:13I'll be honest with you, Mr Daly.
26:15Since my other half made the crossing,
26:17Grant's all I've got.
26:19He's not a bad lad.
26:20He's a bit over-key.
26:21I should say so.
26:22The point is, your boy's on the trail.
26:25He's a bright lad.
26:27He'll finger-gram before long.
26:29Well, I'm sorry, but those who live by the sword...
26:31No, that can't happen.
26:32I swore to his mum I'd see that he was the first Gendley
26:35to get through life without the slightest mark on his record.
26:38I don't want him linked with any of this.
26:40Well, that's an admirable sentiment.
26:41But may I remind you,
26:42I am prime suspect number one in this case.
26:45And in the absence of an arrest...
26:47Yes?
26:47I am going to be in serious trouble.
26:49Oh, come on, Mr Daly.
26:51What are we talking?
26:52Touch a reckless driving,
26:53few points on the licence,
26:55bit of finger-wagging from the magistrate,
26:57500 quid fine.
26:59I also have my unblemished reputation to consider.
27:02Mr Daly,
27:03I'm asking for a favour.
27:07I want you to take the rap for my grant.
27:11He's had a rollicking from me.
27:12There'll be no further trouble there.
27:14Now, in return for your selective memory,
27:17there's the motor,
27:18which you'll notice is a more recent model
27:20than the one written off.
27:22In addition to this,
27:23I'll cover any fine you receive,
27:25plus 2,000 quid for your trouble.
27:28Two grand?
27:29It's merely a gesture.
27:30Not meant to be insulted.
27:32Please.
27:32I'm not insulted.
27:34Come in.
27:36In the end, Dave,
27:37it all comes down to a question of morality.
27:40I couldn't help thinking about Jimmy Cagney,
27:42on his way to the chair,
27:44pretending to be scared,
27:45so that all those other lads
27:47wouldn't suffer the same life of deprivation
27:50and aggro that he had gone through.
27:51It was a marvellous gesture, Arthur.
27:53You should be proud.
27:55Yeah, let's hope Gedley remembers it and all
27:56when he comes to pricing his motifs.
27:58That is up to him, Dave.
28:00When you make a decision like this,
28:01you do it because you know
28:03it's the right thing to do,
28:04not because you're going to get something out of it.
28:06Here, Arthur.
28:07Yo!
28:07Arthur could be stated deep!
28:09Mike!
28:09Mike!
28:10It's a public place.
28:11Here, Arthur, we've sussed it.
28:12It's Gedley's lad.
28:14Yeah, just clocked him over at his old man's.
28:15It was a quick look.
28:16It was enough, wasn't it, eh?
28:17Right, Mike.
28:18Now, the eyes can play terrible tricks
28:19in the heat of the moment.
28:20I mean, evidence of my own unfortunate situation.
28:23Yeah, but the thing is, Arthur...
28:24Yeah, but the thing is, Arthur,
28:24I've just had a bit of a whacking.
28:26Some bloke got a bit raw with me near the garage.
28:28He didn't like the daily flyers.
28:30I got real close to him and it was the same bloke.
28:32Getting a bit of checking turns out
28:34that Gedley Jr. is looking after the motor side of things
28:36while his old man's in the hospital.
28:38Arthur Gedley is your test driver.
28:40No, no, no, Ray, Mike, look,
28:41we mustn't be too hasty about this.
28:42Oh, well, who else, eh?
28:43The geezer's been hell-bent on sending you under
28:45one way or another.
28:46Now, we've got to be 200% sure about this.
28:48Right, well, he's wiry.
28:49Fairhead, for sure.
28:51No, no, no, wait a minute.
28:52No, no, no, no, you mention it.
28:53He was sort of dark and thick-set and quite tall.
28:57Look, Arthur, I know it's him.
28:59Well, I've told the police.
29:01You've done what?
29:02Well, he's an head case.
29:04You've grasped, Ray.
29:05Arthur, the man is deranged.
29:07Arthur, believe you.
29:08You've grasped.
29:08I didn't grasp.
29:09When's your sister club?
29:11Anonymous phone call.
29:12Special circumstances.
29:13Oh, my God.
29:16Arthur, it's for you.
29:18I know.
29:20No, I'm on my way.
29:23Good luck, that.
29:24We were just coming for you.
29:26Well, I knew you'd need the insurance papers,
29:27so I thought I'd get them to you as quickly as possible.
29:29Well, I pulled a suspect.
29:31I've got a tip-off from a chap who was at the scene,
29:33but he won't come forward.
29:34But to get any further,
29:35it'll require a formal ID from you.
29:52Could you get them to sit on chairs sideways on
29:55and hold their hands like that?
30:16Could somebody smash a milk bottle or something like that?
30:22Could be number four.
30:26Possibly number seven.
30:34Oh, sorry.
30:57I thought for a horrible minute you'd forgotten our deal.
31:00You can rely on me.
31:01It's like a communication glitch with my nephew.
31:04Appreciate it, Arthur.
31:27Mr. Daly.
31:30Sorry about that, Mr. Tompkins.
31:31Bit of shattering glass might have helped.
31:33Mr. Daly,
31:34because of your failure to identify the only other suspect in this case,
31:38and because of the nature of our own investigations,
31:41I have to warn you that we'll be charging you over this incident.
31:44Slings and arrows of outrageous thingy.
31:46Will I get a letter from the magistrate?
31:48It's likely to be more formal than that, sir.
31:50What, reckless driving?
31:51Amongst other things.
31:53What?
31:54Attempted murder, Mr. Daly.
31:56Attempted murder?
31:58When did they last have a debate on hanging?
32:00Oh, years ago, Arthur.
32:02Dropped right off the agenda.
32:04Dave, please, please.
32:05Could we avoid words like drop?
32:06It makes me feel extremely vulnerable.
32:11Arthur, they cannot pin a murder charge on you.
32:13Tompkins was winding you up.
32:14It is barbaric.
32:15I don't care what you say in any circumstances.
32:19You was always a pro in the past, Arthur.
32:21Absolutely not, Dave.
32:23I, I, I, I've never been able to understand the hang of my mob.
32:27You once said they should get Judge Jeffries back
32:30and put him in charge of road traffic offences.
32:32Light-hearted ribaldry, Dave.
32:34The point is, none of this matters.
32:36It's not an issue.
32:37You've got to go back to the old bill
32:39and tell him it was all a mistake
32:40and that it was Grant Gedley beside you all the time.
32:43I can't do that.
32:45Oh, for the umpteenth time, why not?
32:47I have struck what loosely could be termed
32:51a deal with Don Corioli-Gledley.
32:54You done what?
32:56The Volvo.
32:57The projected night out at Larry's State and Bodega Bar.
33:01Yeah, but Arthur, I thought that was insurance.
33:03Ray, please, I do not deal in optional extras.
33:06You mean Gedley's bought you off?
33:08Sir, certainly not.
33:09He was merely showing his appreciation
33:12of an act of clemency
33:15that I had shown his son
33:17on an earlier occasion.
33:19Look, there's no point in arguing about this.
33:21What's done is done.
33:22You'll have to prove your innocence, Arthur,
33:24without fingering the lead.
33:26How?
33:26Maybe you could get one of the blokes
33:28who ID'd you to say he's made a mistake.
33:30I mean, once there's any doubt,
33:31you're in the clear.
33:36Hey.
33:38Pull over, pull over.
33:50That's quite catchy when your head stops banging.
33:54Hey, what's happened?
33:55They'd have shut down.
33:56They didn't give any address.
33:57Well, it's the police, probably.
33:59The what?
34:00Arthur, it's a pirate station.
34:02The old bill are on their backs all the time.
34:03The lads have to keep on the move.
34:05Pirate?
34:06First murder, now piracy.
34:09The plot will be looking for me everywhere.
34:11They won't, Arthur.
34:12I'll write to my MP.
34:14Say I'm an innocent victim of circumstances
34:16and will he fight my case
34:17to the highest court in the land.
34:20Hey, who is our MP?
34:21God knows.
34:23It's him.
34:24Who?
34:25The local magistrate.
34:26He's our MP.
34:27We still want them who's who's somewhere around.
34:29In the cage, under the ducks.
34:32Yeah, of course they are.
34:33He's a sir, Ray.
34:34Ray, he's got medals.
34:36I'm going to dangle.
34:37I know I am.
34:37You are not, Arthur.
34:39Please.
34:40You're going to have to do something for me, Ray.
34:42Hide me.
34:46Arthur, what is the matter?
34:48All his family play polo.
34:50I'm a goner.
34:51Here, take these,
34:53go back to the flat and put the cap on.
34:54What are you going to do?
34:55I don't want you talking to Gedley.
34:56I won't, Arthur.
34:57I just want to sort out one or two loose ends.
34:59So you know what's going on
35:00and you won't be left hanging around.
35:03I'm sorry, Arthur.
35:04Don't be long.
35:08He's going crazy.
35:10I am sorry to hear that.
35:11You shouldn't even mention things like that in front of Arthur.
35:14I was merely trying to impress upon Mr. Daly
35:16the seriousness of the situation in which he'd found himself.
35:18Yeah, but attempted murder?
35:20Look, I'll have you know that certain evidence has come to light
35:22which makes us think there was something premeditated
35:25about the attack on the shop.
35:26What are you talking about evidence?
35:27Mr. Carson has remembered belatedly
35:30that as the car smashed through the window
35:31he heard Mr. Daly shout
35:33you've had this come in a long time, Carson.
35:37Now, whether he meant damage to the shop
35:38or to Carson himself
35:40well, it's difficult to say.
35:42So why haven't you charged him?
35:46You don't believe Carson, do you?
35:48And you know Arthur well enough to know
35:49he's not so stupid at getting to ram-raiding.
35:51Look, our investigations are continuing.
35:54It's a setup and you know it.
35:56You know, but I find that quite encouraging.
35:58I beg your pardon.
35:59Well, you've got a man in the frame, witnesses
36:00but you're still not charging.
36:03You're trusting to your sixth sense.
36:06Cheers.
36:13Cheers.
37:04word up, word up, people.
37:06You heard what the man said.
37:07Check this one out
37:08because it's going to be seriously fat.
37:10You know it.
37:11I'm out of here.
37:14All right, Kate.
37:15Oh, man, safe?
37:16Yeah, thanks for the lift, mate.
37:18Ah, no problem, mate.
37:19I think I use broadcast and premiere now as well.
37:21Yeah, here on the flat.
37:23Depends on the atmospherics.
37:25Atmospherics?
37:26Yeah, you know, flashing blue lights.
37:28I'll catch you later.
37:30Later, Jeff.
37:31Yeah, let's see you later.
38:03Arthur, there is no way they can charge you
38:05with anything more than reckless driving.
38:07Oh, Ray, the relief, I can't tell you.
38:11Yeah, do you remember when Uncle Stanley came to stay
38:13and he was forced to remain in the loft for three weeks?
38:15That Sunday when he packed his bags and left,
38:17I thought, that's going to take some beating.
38:19But this...
38:19Yeah, but the bad news is, Gedley's little boy.
38:21Yeah?
38:22Well, at least I think it's him.
38:23I get the feeling the old man wouldn't be that stupid.
38:25Why?
38:25What's he done?
38:26Well, he's brought the Volvo back.
38:28Brought it back?
38:29I didn't know it had gone.
38:30Yeah, well, I took it back over there.
38:31I wanted old man Gedley to know that the deal was off.
38:34Ray, I told you.
38:35I didn't speak to him, Arthur.
38:36It was a gesture.
38:37And?
38:38He smashed every screen on the car lot.
38:40Oh, my God, Ray.
38:42How could you?
38:42Well, I didn't do it.
38:43Look, if you'd done things my way,
38:44this would never have happened.
38:45Your way?
38:46What, hiding out?
38:47Look, if your Uncle Stanley can spend three weeks
38:49in your dad's loft with his Christophobia...
38:51Oh, my God, Ray!
38:54Ray, man, that is it.
38:55That is the last time I ever do you a favour.
38:58You know, the wrong kind of people.
38:59Why?
38:59What's happened?
39:01Oh, sorry, Ray.
39:02Your mate Gedley's just saying to it
39:04that we won't be broadcasting from the studio for a little while.
39:07Right, that's it.
39:08Ray, Arthur, this is all bang out of order.
39:10Gedley Jr. needs a scene to.
39:12And if we hadn't allowed ourselves
39:13to get backed into a corner in the first place,
39:15none of this would have happened.
39:18Mr. D, any chance of a lift at the preamp?
39:21Your boy has just smashed every windshield in our car lot.
39:24No way.
39:25And he's also wrecked the studio
39:26over a couple of good mates of mine.
39:28Not my grant.
39:29Right, then.
39:31So who had the keys to drive the Volvo back round to Wows, eh?
39:34And I'll tell you something.
39:34My mates don't lie.
39:35They know who they saw.
39:38Gedley.
39:39Go on, leave me.
39:40Are you going to do something?
39:41It's none of your business.
39:43He's a loose cannon.
39:44You know that.
39:45Get going, Daley.
39:46Somebody has got to assault him.
39:47He's a menace.
39:48Don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do with him.
39:51He's family.
39:54Family.
39:56Come on, you all.
39:57Get into D.
39:58That's Mr. D.
39:59They've had a steel zone wheel.
40:01The car selling shop.
40:02That's wicked and wild.
40:03It's a wicked aptitude and a real good vibe.
40:05Rock that.
40:06Nick that.
40:07Head back.
40:09Can we go again?
40:10All the babies making them cost, though.
40:12Get there, you all.
40:14Yes.
40:15Check, baby.
40:16Check, baby.
40:16One, two.
40:17Have no fear.
40:18We're back on the air.
40:19And as the man says, this is London Cooling.
40:23What's up?
40:25Sensory deprivation.
40:27I've read all about it.
40:28You keep tweaking up the volume till all you can hear is white noise.
40:32You know, I've got a little state of night, Arthur.
40:34I feel responsible.
40:35Well, it'll only be till morning.
40:36You think Wally Clark and me rioted at the Isolda when they were showing rock around the clock.
40:41Why?
40:42They stopped us dancing.
40:44They were getting bits of ceiling, falling on the finger dainties in the coffee shop below.
40:49Oh, if we'd known what we were starting.
40:51Yeah, I bet your debts had the same, Arthur.
40:53And I tell you what, things don't change from one generation to the next.
40:58Oh, don't you believe it.
41:09Yeah, but think about it.
41:10We'll never crack it via the Gedleys.
41:12Carson's your man.
41:13He must be in league with them.
41:14Either Grant's put the frighten us on...
41:16Insurance.
41:18What are you doing here?
41:21Carson owed me money.
41:23Grant thought a nice insurance claim had settled the debt once and for all.
41:27He can't knock his thinking.
41:29What do you want?
41:30I need a word with Mr. Daly.
41:33A loan.
41:35No way.
41:36I ain't leaving him.
41:37This doesn't concern you.
41:38It does if it involves Arthur's well-being.
41:41I want it in a stay in one piece, thanks.
41:43Please.
41:44Mr. Daly has stood by the bargain he made.
41:46I respect that.
41:47No harm's going to come to him.
41:49It's all right, Ray.
41:50Come on in.
42:01I feel ashamed even being here.
42:04I thought maybe you'd understand.
42:06Oh, I appreciate your predicament.
42:09Young Ray's given me a few sleepless nights in the past, I can tell you.
42:13His dad wasn't always around.
42:14I did the looking after.
42:15Of course.
42:16What can you do?
42:18You'd love him so much you'd give him anything.
42:20All they do is complain.
42:21You're breathing down their necks all the time.
42:23All you want's what's best for him.
42:25And you don't think your boy'll come round?
42:28I think he needs, like I said.
42:31Well, if you're sure.
42:33I can't turn him over.
42:35It's...
42:35I know.
42:37Family.
42:42This is not how I envisaged it, Ray.
42:44It's the only solution, Arthur.
42:46Carson knows who you are and what you've got to lose.
42:49But don't worry.
42:49I'm going to be right behind you.
42:51I wish you'd be right in front of me.
42:52It's no problem.
42:53The lads have got it well sussed.
42:54But remember, Grant's on his way, so don't hang around in there.
42:58Nothing could be further from my mind.
43:10What do you want?
43:11Please.
43:12There's no need for verbals.
43:13I've been through enough in here, including your front window.
43:15I'll call the police if you don't leave.
43:16Look, Mr Carson, there's no need for that.
43:18I am the bringer of good tidings.
43:21I happen to know that your cockeyed idea of me was for insurance purposes.
43:25Who told you that?
43:26The man who was driving, Grant Gedley.
43:29Who else would know?
43:30Why would he tell you?
43:31He thinks his secret's safe with me.
43:33He thinks him and me have an arrangement.
43:35Instead, I've come to make one with you.
43:38What sort of arrangement?
43:40I'm prepared to pay you twice the amount of money you didle the insurance company out of,
43:44provided you tell the truth about Grant driving.
43:47Say you were confused with the shock of it all.
43:49Do this one day with me, and I disappear.
43:52Get friendly with Gedley Jr., and you'll have regular royal visits.
43:55How do I know?
43:56You'll stick to your word.
43:57Look, if I don't get Gedley put away, I'm in deep trouble, as you well know.
44:01My personal freedom is your guarantee.
44:04You toe-rag, Carson.
44:06Oh, Mr Gedley, I was just...
44:08Yeah, I know what you were doing.
44:09You're trying to stitch me up.
44:11You say I was driving that motor, and you're in big trouble.
44:14We were merely discussing the price of a nice bit of Dresden
44:17I noticed when we popped through the casement the other day.
44:19You got some brass, haven't you, David?
44:21Trying to go behind my back.
44:23Don't you know when to lie down and die?
44:24Your attitude's pretty hypocritical, considering your dealings with Mr Carson.
44:28I know what I'm doing.
44:30I'm the future.
44:31Well, that remains to be seen.
44:32For the moment, I'll bid you good day.
44:34I'm getting sick of you daily.
44:35I want you out of my hell.
44:37That's enough, Gedley.
44:39You should lock your back door, Mr Carson.
44:42It's a terrible temptation.
44:44Come to look after the old man?
44:46That's nice.
44:47I can do the old family in one go.
44:49Oh, please, think of the damage.
44:50Ray, I've already come into forceful contact with much of this room.
44:53No worries, Arthur.
44:55I won't even touch him.
44:57You see, Grant, you're going to go away for a little while.
45:00Because you've been set up.
45:02You try anything funny and I'll have my old man on to you.
45:05He can pull strings, make your eyes water.
45:07I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but who gave you the tip-off that got you here
45:12so conveniently?
45:15I'm afraid you've been kippered.
45:17No way.
45:19My dad wouldn't do that.
45:21You're making it up.
45:23You've got nothing on me.
45:24You've got no evidence that proves anything.
45:28I'll show you who's got the power round here.
45:31You'll regret you ever heard the name Gedley.
45:39You've got nothing on me.
45:40You've got no evidence that proves anything.
45:42I'll show you who's got the power round here.
45:45You'll regret you ever heard the name Gedley.
45:47Where'd you get all that then, lads?
45:49No problems, Ray. Clear as a bill.
45:51Piece of cake, Arthur.
45:52You speak for yourself.
45:53I feel a couple of mogadon and a trough of vodka coming on.
45:56Laters, yeah?
45:57That's all right.
46:03Very pleasing, Ray.
46:04Silly prices banished from Romana.
46:07London's most wanted safely inside,
46:08where hopefully he will realise what his old man was trying to save him from.
46:12Yeah, well, I'd better slap the old prices back on then, Arthur.
46:14You'll do no such thing.
46:15Don't you want them back to where they were?
46:17Where's your business sense, Ray?
46:19We've got to recoup.
46:20Bang another 500 on all of them.
46:22Right.
46:30Hey, Arthur.
46:32You'd better come outside.
46:33Why?
46:34Well, there's a load of punters.
46:35I can't deal with them all.
46:36What do you mean?
46:37I reckon it must be the advertising campaign.
46:40Ray, your mates.
46:41They're pure gold dust.
46:45Now, I can do that one with a cash.
46:52Yo, the man!
46:53What?
46:54Bailey.
46:54What's happening, my man?
46:55We're all right.
46:56Some of these cars.
46:57Is it all right if we cut a drag in the jet?
47:02No!
47:03No!
47:04No.
47:04That one's not for sale.
47:06No, no, no.
47:07Come on.
47:07No, no, no.
47:07Take it easy, Mr. Donny.
47:09My hat is swinging.
47:10Thank you very much.
47:11Ray, what's happening?
47:12Oh, easy.
47:14I've been taken over by the street gang.
47:15What's the other guy?
47:16Don't get me!
47:16I don't want to worry about that.
47:17I've just done free that cash and got deposit on a soft top.
47:20Of course.
47:21Do feel free to get in.
47:23Sadly, the price on this one is not negotiable.
47:25Right there.
47:25But it is top of the race.
47:26That's the young lady over there, yeah?
47:28Oh, you're all right.
47:29Listen, man.
47:31Oh, dear.
47:31He's staring at us back.
47:33Yeah, don't you?
47:33Pop it up, sir.
47:34Let's remember, I promised Dave I'd help him with the quality control.
47:39How long for, Arthur?
47:41As long as it takes, Ray.
47:42Look at this room, look.
47:43I've got off this room.
