03:08Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
03:08Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
03:11All daylight and all.
03:14Well, are we gonna sit it out or what?
03:16Right, now we...
03:24Okay, Grant, we'll get your bag back.
03:26Don't worry, come and sit down with me.
03:28Oh, no, the other way, you clown.
04:01Come on, son.
04:02Give.
04:03It was a joke, mister. What's the joke?
04:05Judge your face.
04:07Come on, son.
04:20Come on.
04:31We've actually cashed it, have you?
04:32Yes, I am.
04:33How much is that?
04:34That's a good...
04:36All right, Treasurer.
04:36Hang on, there you go.
04:38Just get the details?
04:39Yeah.
04:40Very...
04:40There you go.
04:42Get away, scum!
04:47Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
04:49Hang on.
04:50Close up!
05:04Well, it was just bad luck, really, wasn't it?
05:09Well, I think so.
05:11How old were these boys?
05:12About 12.
05:13Well, more like eight or nine, Mr. Frye.
05:15So how come it took four police officers, four grown men?
05:18They were on bikes.
05:20Motorbikes?
05:21BMX bikes.
05:22See, the one with the bags, sir, he lost us by a doubling back.
05:24You know what a dragon's like.
05:25A real rabbit warren.
05:26But then he came past the van and I jumped out.
05:28Leaving it empty.
05:29Yeah.
05:30And unlocked.
05:30With all the gear.
05:31Well, it's just like on impulse, you know.
05:32Yeah, we do know, O'Dowd, unfortunately, all about your impulses.
05:35Like telling control he didn't require any assistance.
05:37Was that another impulse?
05:41The operator never leaves the van, especially not there.
05:44Not in the dragon.
05:45Sure.
05:47Who slashed the tires?
05:48The other lad?
05:49That was some teenagers, sir.
05:50They've been hanging about.
05:52Well, we think it was then.
05:54Have they, uh, found the Sierra government?
05:55Yeah.
05:56Last night.
05:57Outside a Greek takeaway in Camberwell.
06:00They'll give it the one-sever, but there's no skag, of course.
06:02Not that generous.
06:03Any descriptions?
06:05Dave was driving.
06:06He got the best look, didn't you, Dave?
06:08It was a coloured van.
06:09So far, so good.
06:10And a white woman.
06:12And that's all.
06:14Well, they went past a bit quick and I was trying to get out of it.
06:15I was trying to get the van started.
06:17He might have had a beard.
06:18The man.
06:19The man.
06:20Are you sure it wasn't the woman?
06:25I don't know.
06:27It won't be drinks all around when your sergeant gets back, will it?
06:30Look, no lectures.
06:31You're hammed up a really good arrest, and God knows where they are now.
06:33But maybe, as Dowd says, you were unlucky.
06:36The trouble is you've been unlucky rather a lot lately,
06:37so I suggest you get lucky again.
06:39And when you're out on observation, well, use your common, if you've got any.
06:43All right, that's all.
06:45Where is he, sir, Sergeant Rockliffe?
06:47Indisposed.
06:48Oh.
06:49I've told him to rest up for a few days, so I'll be taking you out this morning.
06:52OK.
06:55Keith.
06:56Hey.
06:58Indisposed.
06:59Innistrate, I'll get more like it.
07:07How'd it go, then, CID board?
07:09It's hard to tell, sir.
07:10Most of it went all right.
07:11I ask some funny questions sometimes.
07:13It's just their way, Keith.
07:14Settle you nicely in the crease, then when you start dropping off, you whizz down a bouncer.
07:18Heard anything, have you?
07:19Feedback notes will be here by the end of the week.
07:21All right.
07:23Yeah.
07:24Uh...
07:25Look, I mean, what if you don't make CID?
07:29Sir?
07:29Well, this time round.
07:31Stay on the crime squad, or what?
07:33Well, I don't know.
07:34I haven't really thought about it.
07:35Well, Lynn and me, well, we're working on the basis.
07:37Likes everything wrapped up and tied with a ribbon, does Lynn.
07:39Shouldn't be marrying you, then, should she?
07:41How come?
07:41Or any copper.
07:43Where's she now?
07:45Still at home, sir, with the folks.
07:46You know, power stop.
07:47What do you feel about moving down to the smug?
07:49She goes where I go, and that's how she sees it.
07:51Her dad's a farmer.
07:52Like, he wants to cut me in, but...
07:53Crackers, you are.
07:54Crackers.
07:55Well, that's what...
07:56Well, I felt they were all saying that at the board.
07:58You know, commander and whatnot.
07:59Turn it top.
08:00Back to the country.
08:00A bloody Swede.
08:01That old Flash Gordon, you know.
08:03Someone steady, prepared to take pains.
08:05Always an asset to the department.
08:08So...
08:08I'm sure I'd give up a slice of dorset, Bill Keefe.
08:11Not to sweep the garbage out there.
08:14So you must be crackers.
08:16Like the rest of us.
08:17Come on.
08:18What's this he laid off?
08:20He likes his mapster's charming folk.
08:21As if we haven't walked every inch of it, eh?
08:24Morning, Janice.
08:25Morning, sir.
08:26Oh, governor.
08:26This the right one?
08:27It is.
08:28It'll get smaller every year.
08:29OK, everybody.
08:30Right, then.
08:32Good God, they're all here.
08:33Put the flags out.
08:35First of all, Sergeant Rockcliffe's off with flu.
08:37Not too serious.
08:38Spoke him on the phone earlier.
08:39Sends his best regards
08:41and hopes to be back leading you next Monday.
08:42Which means you've got me for the rest of the week.
08:44Naturally, I shall expect the same high standards
08:47of professionalism and detective work
08:48for which this crime squad has become famous.
08:52Janice.
08:52Eh?
08:53Student's hostel, Flasher.
08:55Right.
08:55Right.
08:56Well, he's a six foot five inch weirdo
08:57in a balaclava helmet.
08:59Been shown his manhood at various windows
09:00in St Augustine's last few weeks.
09:02Student's hostel especially.
09:04Any progress?
09:04Nah.
09:05It's all gone quiet round there.
09:06But there was a phone call from a woman
09:08about half a mile away.
09:09I'll pop in, see you later this week.
09:11Is there a description, governor?
09:13No, but you can look it up
09:14in any medical textbook, Karen.
09:17Okay, okay.
09:19Now, according to this,
09:20Keith, Steve and Jerry here
09:21working with Sergeant Rockcliffe
09:22on the building society hold-ups.
09:24Is that correct?
09:24Mm-hmm.
09:25Suspect's a complete amateur.
09:27I see four.
09:28Queery bearded.
09:29He wears a scarf on his face.
09:31Five foot six to eight.
09:32Always wears the same torn combat jacket.
09:35Left his dabs everywhere.
09:36In fact, he's done everything short
09:37of walking downstairs with his hands up.
09:39Now, from the pattern of the robberies,
09:40here, here, here and here,
09:43always on Wednesdays, always between two and four.
09:46We reckon you don't have to be Einstein
09:47to work out where his next target may be,
09:48which could well be here,
09:49the Ely Building Society.
09:51But it's not quite a piece of cake
09:52since he's very jittery.
09:54Could be mental or high,
09:55and is armed.
09:57Not a sawn-off, a handgun,
09:58and would be optimistic to assume it's a toy.
10:00From the amount stolen between 250 and 400 pounds,
10:02again, suggests a smack head maintaining his habits.
10:04What about the place opposite?
10:06Suitable for an OP?
10:07Um, yeah.
10:08It's a junk shop with a storeroom upstairs.
10:09Me and Dave went to see them first thing.
10:11The second floor windows overlook the street.
10:13Asked the old geezer who runs it if he mind if we hung nets.
10:16And?
10:16Well, I don't think he cottoned.
10:18Bit of a divvy, Ikey-like.
10:19Ah.
10:20Can anyone translate?
10:21He's Yiddish and a bit senile.
10:23Like I said.
10:24So?
10:25So, we'd better go over and have another go at him, hadn't we?
10:27I'm doing a call later, sir.
10:28Fair enough.
10:29Please give him Gerry, then.
10:30Any more problems?
10:32Everybody know what they're doing?
10:33Right.
10:34And somebody does round here!
10:39Ben, that won't be long.
10:40Just going to collect his picture.
10:41Do you want some coffee while you're waiting?
10:42No thanks, Gerry.
10:43He wouldn't either.
10:45Keeps him awake.
10:49How much is this, then?
10:51Vagina?
10:52200.
10:53But it's sold already to a club company.
10:55Get away.
10:55We're just waiting for them to collect it.
10:58Geezer practically went down on his knees when he saw it.
11:00We've been looking all over London for the last fortnight, he said.
11:03Me Aunty Dolly and Fazakley used to have one of these.
11:05Sing songs every Christmas.
11:06It was brilliant.
11:08See these things here?
11:09The what's it?
11:09They're for the candles.
11:10Candles?
11:11Like cut her off or something?
11:16I can't get in, no doubt.
11:20Here he comes now.
11:21Don't forget to speak in his left ear.
11:22He's deaf in the right.
11:23All right, Grandad.
11:24Get your pension.
11:25Who's this boy?
11:27Your boyfriend, Belinda?
11:29No, of course not, Grandad.
11:31Don't need a boyfriend, man.
11:32I've got you, do I?
11:33He keeps me on the knock on key, he does.
11:35It's the policeman again, remember?
11:37What?
11:37The policeman.
11:38They want to use upstairs.
11:41Morning, Mr Eisner.
11:43Detective Inspector Flight.
11:44Just admiring this picture.
11:47What?
11:47He likes the picture, Grandad.
11:49What?
11:50Can we take a look upstairs?
11:53Come on, Grandad.
11:54We're showing the storeroom, eh?
12:03Eyes off.
12:05Sorry.
12:08They want to keep watch, Grandad.
12:10What?
12:11From the window.
12:12Keep an eye on the street.
12:14They'll sink in eventually, believe it or not.
12:17They're expecting a bank robber tomorrow.
12:19Tomorrow?
12:20How do they know tomorrow?
12:21Is he written to tell them?
12:22No.
12:23Have you got your keys now?
12:43What are you written, Governor?
12:44Perfect.
12:45Why can't you just wait down there and arrest him in the road?
12:47No, there's a possibility of firearms.
12:49Unless they were once a gun battle on the street.
12:51So you'll have guns, too?
12:53One of us will.
12:55I'll be directing my men from here via radio.
12:57If he shows and does the job,
12:58we'll follow him somewhere quiet and nick him without any fuss.
13:01The robber's got a gun, Grandad.
13:04A gun?
13:05Aye, aye, aye.
13:06He hates guns, Grandad does.
13:08Well, I'm not exactly wildly sold, Miss Eisner.
13:10Well, now what's he doing?
13:11You want curtains, eh?
13:13You got some, sir?
13:14Look here.
13:16Beautiful curtains.
13:17Come from a big house.
13:19I told you. Penny drops in the end.
13:21Okay, Miss Eisner.
13:22Seems to be.
13:22Great.
13:27It's nice, though, isn't it?
13:29For a change.
13:30It's really peaceful in there.
13:32Almost like an holiday.
13:34Makes you wonder what difference it all makes.
13:36All that barking and the sarcasm.
13:38I hate it when you're sarcastic.
13:40And it don't improve your work, neither.
13:43Does it?
13:45Honestly.
13:46Keith!
13:47Hmm?
13:47Does what honestly, Keith?
13:48What are you talking about, eh?
13:49Oh, blimey.
13:50This is what Lynn has to put up with.
13:52I feel for her.
13:54Rockcliffe.
13:54Away.
13:55It's good.
13:56It's all right, I suppose.
13:57Cancer's a notice, really.
13:59Yeah.
13:59Paul Georgiou reckons he's not off sick at all.
14:01Gone up to Leicester to see his wife and kid.
14:03Oh, it beats me how Paul knows so much.
14:04He does nothing but sit in the squad office all day.
14:06You ever notice?
14:07Morning, noon and night.
14:08I couldn't live with him.
14:10Oh, he's bad enough working with him.
14:12What, Paul?
14:14No.
14:15The skipper.
14:22What's that like?
14:24It's the best kangaroo I've ever tasted.
14:26Just needs a spot more mustard, that's all.
14:28Yeah, did you hear Rockcliffe shouting at Gerry last Friday?
14:31I thought the walls was gonna come down.
14:33And it was all over one missing statement,
14:35and it was on his desk the whole time.
14:37Under a phone book.
14:39Gerry fancies you.
14:42He does.
14:44Says who?
14:44Well, he says.
14:45He's told me on more than one occasion.
14:47Yeah, well, O'Dowd fancies everything that moves.
14:49No, no.
14:49It's not like the usual.
14:50It's different, according to Gerry.
14:54Well, I don't fancy him.
14:56Not one little bit.
15:01Oh, what's this O'Dowd's greatest cases?
15:04What else?
15:05Time for Jan?
15:05Yeah, go on.
15:07Needn't ask you.
15:11Big head.
15:12Big mouth.
15:13And a titchy little pecker.
15:16You what?
15:19You're pulling my leg, aren't you?
15:20No.
15:21I've taken me to the doctor about it.
15:22And once, like, after we got into the squash
15:24and we were in the showers, he asked me to have a look.
15:25See if I thought it was abnormally small.
15:27Yeah, well, was it?
15:29Well, aren't too enormous, as it turns out.
15:32LAUGHTER
15:52What's he playing at?
15:53Mine's all over the place, that lad.
15:55No, sir, always on the one place.
15:57Ah, very true.
16:00What?
16:01Second time it's been passed.
16:04No combat jacket.
16:05Perhaps he's lashed out.
16:07Scarf all right, then.
16:10How's it going?
16:11Brilliant. Reckon I'll score here.
16:12Hey?
16:14Her?
16:15We'll be bopping up west tonight, me and old Belinda.
16:17Grandad told me she's a virgin.
16:18Get off, mate, if she's a virgin, my name's Eskimo now.
16:20Hang about, something's up.
16:211-5-1-3, have you clocked him?
16:23Packy with the carrier bag, over.
16:241-3's body set's packed up, over.
16:27And how's your mam? She got over her shingles?
16:29Yeah, well, I got my back to him, over.
16:31Funny thing about these eight odd papers.
16:33The sports pages are at the front.
16:34Go on.
16:35What's he like backwards, you see?
16:36Governor says the pack of geezer in the anorak.
16:39Take a shuff to eat his carrier. Does it contain equipment?
16:42It's nearly empty.
16:43There's definitely something in there.
16:45Clearly small firearm.
16:46Right, here's our man, okay?
16:48So, listen.
16:49Chitty and me, we'll go down to the car.
16:50When he comes out, you follow him.
16:52If he runs, don't you run till we are well past him.
16:55And tell 1-3.
16:56Yeah, opposite pavement, if possible.
16:58Let's go.
17:01That's it. Lovely.
17:04See you around.
17:05It's okay, Miss Ives, sir.
17:06We'll be back after lunch.
17:07Oh.
17:08Um.
17:19Something wrong, sir?
17:20Too close, what do you say?
17:23You'll do.
17:26Good afternoon.
17:27Hello.
17:28I want to make a withdrawal.
17:31Nasty coffee.
17:31Oh, my God.
17:33I've forgotten to fill it in.
17:34No, I...
17:36On the other side.
17:41No tricks, eh?
17:43Nice and gentle, right?
17:47Not too bad at there now, after all that rain.
17:50Yes.
17:51You never know what to put on days like this.
18:06He's got a gun!
18:14He's got a gun!
18:161-5, tell him.
18:17Tell O'Dowd not to go!
18:251-5, tell him.
18:26Oh!
18:30He said he won't stay, Paul.
18:32We'll be back to Clester.
18:34Get back!
18:35Get back, you boys!
18:37Stop, Doud!
18:37The bastard got me in the nuts.
18:38Where's Steve?
18:39Nick and him, we all...
18:43Oh, my God.
18:43We dropped the gun in there.
18:44What are you doing out here, O'Dowd?
18:45Get back inside!
18:47Excuse me.
18:47Yeah, what?
18:48Actually, this is not a real gun at all.
18:50Look, it's just a starting...
18:51Put that down!
19:09No more calls for the next 20 minutes.
19:11And bring me a glass of water with you.
19:13Well?
19:14Sir?
19:14Agree, disagree.
19:15Fair, unfair.
19:19Strongly disagree, sir.
19:20Very unfair.
19:21Doesn't make happy reading, does it?
19:22No, sir.
19:25See, O'Day, the annual report's where we take a breather,
19:28stand back from the hustle and bustle of the crime squad
19:31and take a long, cool look at our fledglings.
19:36Because that's what you are, O'Dowd.
19:38Out of the egg.
19:40A uniform PC and mufti,
19:42but not yet ready to fly with CID.
19:46The crime squad's a school, really, a training college.
19:50And your books and lessons are the streets of London, right?
20:00Where are you from, Gerard, originally?
20:02Liverpool, sir.
20:04Ah, yes, I thought I detected a twang.
20:07Liverpool.
20:08Balsy bloody lover there, aren't they?
20:11The thing is, Gerard, I'm in an awkward position.
20:14I don't know you or Sergeant Rockliffe not well.
20:16Is there some kind of personality clash between you?
20:18Well, it's not so much a clash, Mr Munro.
20:20I'm the rodent, he's the steamroller.
20:22Ha! Fair enough.
20:25Yes, he's a prickly customer, your Sergeant.
20:28Brilliant in his day, so rumour has it.
20:30Could have got to the top.
20:32The top.
20:34It says here you're foolhardy and impetuous.
20:38Rushing in where angels fear to tread.
20:40Seems to be your style today, O'Dowd.
20:43It's hard, sir.
20:45When the adrenaline's flowing.
20:46You see the body, you want the body, and that's it.
20:48Yes.
20:49Well, all that's happened lately.
20:50All that went wrong.
20:52Most of it was just bad luck.
20:53Luck?
20:54Loser's talk, O'Dowd.
20:56Ambitious?
20:57Sir.
20:58Are you ambitious?
20:59Yes, sir, very.
21:01Curb it, starting today.
21:03Don't try the pole vault on your nappy, O'Dowd.
21:05Asking for trouble.
21:07Have you been told you've been taken off the building society's case?
21:09Sir.
21:11Inspector Fly doesn't want you around.
21:12Not while there's a risk of firearms.
21:14Might have been a starting pistol this time,
21:16but next time, God knows what he'll bring.
21:18OK?
21:20It'll have to be wanted, sir.
21:22Why not?
21:23Tell.
21:23What's this?
21:24Your service is rendered.
21:25I should be so lucky.
21:26He's running a book.
21:27OK.
21:28Oh, what this time?
21:30Whether Keith makes CID.
21:31Eh?
21:31Fives he does, evens he doesn't.
21:33Generous, isn't he?
21:34And Keith knows, of course.
21:35This.
21:35Do us a favour, Jan.
21:36Oh, Paul.
21:37I think that's disgusting.
21:39I've got a damn good mind to tell Charlie Fly.
21:40Yeah, well, Fly's placed a pony he doesn't.
21:42I don't know.
21:44You've drawn a book on a cancer screen.
21:46You should get out and about, Georgiou.
21:48Oh, there.
21:48Nah, thanks.
21:49There's big nasty men trying to take pot shots at me.
21:53Hey, Dave.
21:53Have you heard?
21:54Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
21:55What's happened?
21:56Dave's been moved to the building society case,
21:58and I'm lumbered with O'Dowd.
22:00Oh, he struck gold at last, then.
22:01Oh, this machine.
22:11Go on, then.
22:13Tell us before we wet ourselves.
22:14What did Marilyn give you?
22:15A van, a cigar and two tickets for the opera,
22:17or a free shag at Macy French's?
22:19You've got a foul mouth, Georgiou.
22:20I know.
22:21But I don't like Steve Ud.
22:22Coons, plonkers.
22:23I can work with anybody, even you, Janice.
22:26Mr. Ud has close associates in Pricklin.
22:28You know that?
22:28Big, beefy types of dark glasses and black leather gloves.
22:31He goes drinking with them every Sunday lunchtime.
22:32Who's it from?
22:33Your network of spies?
22:35Naturellum.
22:35I believe it, though.
22:36I can't believe anything in that, sir.
22:40Yeah, well.
22:42Look, I don't want to talk about it, right?
22:44Oh, my God.
22:44It must be bad if you don't want to talk about it.
22:48He called me Gerard.
22:50Oh, did he?
22:51Now that is bad.
22:52You'd better get a uniform dry cleaned or doubt.
22:54He'll be down amongst the wooden tops next week.
22:56Marilyn gave me a lecture about the decline and fall of England.
22:59It was like Gibbon, only longer.
23:01You what?
23:02That was a literary reference, you ignorant yob.
23:04It's wasting all the likes of him, Commissioner.
23:07So, to you and me, eh, Jan?
23:08Yeah.
23:12Excuse me, John.
23:17Yes?
23:19We're looking for number 34.
23:21Ah.
23:21And whom do you want at 34?
23:23We're looking for someone called Suami.
23:26Miss Suami.
23:27Sonia?
23:28That's right.
23:28Just there.
23:29That one there.
23:31Ta.
23:42Are you the caterers?
23:44No, John.
23:45We're bum disposal experts.
23:58You're jealous.
23:59Me.
23:59Don't forget to wipe your feet over.
24:03Yes.
24:03Yeah, it's PC O'Dowden, WPC Hargreaves, Crime Squad.
24:17I think she takes lodges.
24:19Hello.
24:20Miss Suami.
24:25Hello.
24:26Yeah, well, we've got an appointment with, well, is it your big sister or someone?
24:30Sonia Suami.
24:31I'm as big as they grow in my family, I'm afraid.
24:45Come through, will you?
24:46We may as well sit in the garden.
24:48Sorry about the mess.
24:57I've made a pot of tea, yes?
24:59Please.
25:00Thanks.
25:01Thanks.
25:03Thanks.
25:08I always imagine policemen drinking a lot of tea.
25:15Oh, Dad's an Irish name, isn't it?
25:17I've got it in one.
25:18But you're not Irish.
25:19No, Liverpool.
25:20I'd love to visit Ireland.
25:22My father owns a factory in County something.
25:24Kerry or Colarney.
25:29Nice place, this.
25:30Oh, do you like it?
25:31Yes.
25:32Nice little house, really.
25:33Cozy.
25:34I bought it about two years ago.
25:36I'm not sure how long I'll keep it.
25:38I'm rather fidgety.
25:41I am.
25:41Yeah.
25:42So?
25:43This man?
25:45Yes, the man.
25:47Well, the first time I saw him was about a fortnight ago.
25:50I was watering the plants.
25:51It was quite late at night.
25:53I looked up and there he was, just there.
25:56What, by the gate?
25:58No.
25:59No, standing in the middle of the garden.
26:02Not moving or anything, just standing with something over his face.
26:06A balaclava?
26:07A what?
26:09Oh, one of those woolly hat things.
26:11Yes, it might have been.
26:13I said, who are you?
26:14What are you doing?
26:16He just turned and walked away.
26:18Through the gate and into the garden square.
26:20Did he expose himself, anything like that?
26:23Not so that I could see.
26:25Mind you, I wasn't looking very hard.
26:31Then, a few days later, I was back again.
26:34In the garden, same thing.
26:36Just standing, not moving.
26:39And then, last weekend, I was having a bath.
26:42There were bathrooms on the first floor.
26:44And there he was again, standing on the balcony looking in.
26:48I suppose he must have climbed up the drainpipe.
26:52Well, I ran out of the bathroom and dialed 999.
26:55I see.
26:57Is that the garden square, Frude?
26:59Yeah.
27:00Can you get into it from the street?
27:01Yes, there's a gate, but it's always kept locked.
27:05Could I take a look?
27:09Yes, of course.
27:18So, what will you do?
27:21We'll probably mount an observation for a few nights.
27:24What?
27:24In the house?
27:25No.
27:26In the street.
27:27But tuck the way.
27:28We've got ways of doing it.
27:30I see.
27:31It sounds intriguing.
27:33It's not.
27:34Mostly it's dead boring.
27:35And cold.
27:36Poor you.
27:40So, who else lives here?
27:42No one.
27:43Not even domestic staff.
27:45That's its charm for me.
27:48London is the only place I can be completely alone, if I want.
27:52What?
27:53Your father?
27:54Has he got enemies?
27:55Well, everyone in the Gulf's got enemies.
27:57Why do you ask that?
27:58I don't know, really.
28:01Well, this bloke, he could be a flasher, but he could be someone else, couldn't he?
28:05Nobody knows.
28:05I live here.
28:06I've made sure of that.
28:08They want you.
28:09They'll find you.
28:11And here you are.
28:12All alone.
28:13No protection.
28:14No bodyguard.
28:16I've had bodyguards all my life.
28:20Even at prep school.
28:22My father made sure there was always someone patrolling the grounds.
28:26Discreetly, of course, so as not to upset the other girls.
28:30But not now.
28:33Not now.
28:38I think your colleague is calling you out.
28:42This is getting ridiculous, this is.
28:43We've got these dabs, he's gone, a full description, photos.
28:46Nothing on the dabs.
28:46No record.
28:48He's just a little guy who's suddenly hit on the bright idea of robbing banks.
28:50Right.
28:51Trouble is, I've scared him off now.
28:53He's about to change his system.
28:54He can't be that stupid.
28:55Which one's him, gov?
28:56I can't find him.
28:57Yeah, these are the best from here.
28:59This one needs framing.
29:00No doubt getting it where it's most deserved.
29:03Yeah, Lawrence, that's me.
29:04Hang about.
29:05Yeah, that's the clearest by far.
29:07Listen, gov, I swear I know this fella.
29:10Oh, yeah, what's his name?
29:11Works in a club.
29:13What is it?
29:13Where's he left?
29:14There's this...
29:15Painful, isn't it?
29:16Oh, no, no, no, no.
29:17It's all right, we've got him.
29:18It's Tariq.
29:19No, we know about him.
29:21That's him?
29:22Yeah, nice trying.
29:22My God.
29:23Tariq Azir.
29:25Who's he?
29:25From school.
29:26We were at school together.
29:27I sat next to this geezer for three years.
29:30Ha, ha, ha.
29:44About to be the dragon, wouldn't it?
29:46We're going to do that tonight.
29:46There's a place on the west side.
29:47Hey, listen.
29:48Yeah.
29:49I've got a minute.
29:50I've got a minute.
29:50I've got a minute.
29:51Right, watch where you're going.
29:53Sweet.
29:54Yes.
29:57Abandon hope for ye who enter here.
30:13Ma.
30:27Yeah?
30:28Tariq?
30:29Yeah.
30:30Come to see you, Tariq.
30:32Remember me?
30:33Steve Wood.
30:34From Woodfell comprehensive.
30:36Eh?
30:36Come on, Tariq.
30:37You sat next to me for years.
30:39You can't have forgotten.
30:41Who's he?
30:43Oh, he's a friend of mine.
30:44He's called Keith.
30:46I just wanted to talk to you about something.
30:50Tariq, can we come in?
30:51I'm, er, you know, a bit busy just now.
30:54Well, I'll take a minute.
30:57Honest.
31:08Yeah, well, it needs a bit of a tidy.
31:10You moving house or something?
31:11No.
31:12What happened to your family, Tariq?
31:14They moved north, Leeds, a couple of years ago.
31:17Thriving there?
31:18Yeah, sure.
31:19It's better than here.
31:20I should've gone with them, really.
31:23But I didn't.
31:25Now leave the dragon.
31:27Not now.
31:28You gonna kill me?
31:30That why you here?
31:31Kill you?
31:32You know, tough me up or something.
31:34Why should we?
31:36Well, you're NF aren't you?
31:38Me?
31:39You joined, didn't you?
31:40After school?
31:42The front?
31:46Well, that's what I heard.
31:47Not me, mate.
31:48You heard wrong.
31:50Not a political animal.
31:53I never was, never will be.
31:58You got a cigarette on you.
32:00I'm dying for a smoke.
32:01I ain't had a chance to get out today.
32:02Sorry.
32:04Who, Keith?
32:15Thanks.
32:16My pleasure.
32:20We're pleased, you see, Tariq.
32:22Who is?
32:24Me and him.
32:26That's what I did after leaving school.
32:28Eventually.
32:30I joined the Met.
32:33I'm in the local crime squad.
32:36So's Keith.
32:37And we're nicking, you see.
32:40What for?
32:41Arm robbery.
32:43All them building societies you've been doing.
32:45Uh-huh.
32:46You don't have to say anything unless you wish to do so, but what you say may be given in
32:49evidence.
33:04Up in the bedroom, Tariq.
33:12Yeah.
33:14I chased you down the street Wednesday.
33:17Just after you did the branch there.
33:21I didn't even know it was you.
33:24Not then.
33:26When?
33:27About two in the afternoon.
33:29I was in Leeds when.
33:30Of course you were, son.
33:32What's wrong with your eyes, Tariq?
33:34How do you mean?
33:35Dunno.
33:36Something funny about them.
33:43Come on.
33:45What's this?
33:46I fell on some glass.
33:48Steve.
33:52A what?
33:53A terrorist.
33:54Oh, get off.
33:55I'm serious.
33:56You know one of them shite Muslims?
33:57Hey.
33:58She at you, Wally.
33:59Which way now?
34:01Left.
34:01No, straight on, Karen.
34:03He probably wants to hold her to ransom.
34:05You know, like Patty Hearst.
34:06I'll say this for you, O'Dowd.
34:07You haven't half got a lurid imagination.
34:10OK.
34:11Now it's left, Karen.
34:12Right.
34:14Oh, God!
34:15I've turned, Karen!
34:29Have fun.
34:34OK.
34:35So you did the building society to buy the Skag?
34:38Yeah.
34:38So I gave you the starting pistol.
34:42Is that a friend?
34:44Is that a relative?
34:46There was an old biddy in the supermarket.
34:48Who was it, Tarek?
34:52What's the matter?
34:55You cold turkeying?
34:57Is it time for your fix, is it?
34:59Yeah.
34:59Yeah.
35:00Well, don't shit your trousers in here, Tarek.
35:04Listen, Tarek.
35:06If you don't start coughing, Keith's gonna drive us around all night.
35:14Now, who gave you the starting pistol?
35:20The...
35:21It's my supplier.
35:24I told you I needed more smack.
35:27Well, I didn't have the Redis.
35:30So you told me to do the bank, innit?
35:33You gave me the gun on loan.
35:34No.
35:36What's his name?
35:38What's his name?
35:40Is he in the Dragon?
35:41Yeah, they all are.
35:42Who all are?
35:43All the big dealers, you mean?
35:44Yeah.
35:45Yeah, well, there's news.
35:46A big help, that is.
35:48Listen.
35:49You know a spook with a beard?
35:50Yeah.
35:51They've got a white woman.
35:52Yeah.
35:53Do you know him?
35:54Do you?
35:55Yes!
35:55Yes!
35:56Local boy, is he?
35:57She's local.
35:57Any?
36:03Onion doctor.
36:13What's that?
36:15Diet soup.
36:17Tomato.
36:19I think it's tomato.
36:22Do you want some?
36:26What time did flight say we could knock off?
36:32Give it another half hour, eh?
36:33Heath.
36:34Okay.
36:44What's so funny?
36:47Nothing.
36:49It's the first sign, not laughing at nothing.
36:52Bloody hell.
36:55If you must know, it's something Keith Chitty told me about you the other day.
37:00Oh?
37:00Like what?
37:06Listen, Jerry, when are you going to move out of that grotty, horrible dump you live in
37:09and buy yourself a proper house?
37:11You've got your future to think of, you know?
37:12What future?
37:14Rockliffe's just told the world I haven't got one.
37:15Come on.
37:16It's a bad patched asshole.
37:18We all have them.
37:19And it gets better again soon.
37:22It was like that when Steve Hood said he didn't want to work with me.
37:24He shouldn't have listened to him.
37:26Flight and Monroe.
37:28Wet echoes departed him.
37:30Say that for Rockliffe though.
37:31He stood up for you.
37:33He might be a sod and a bastard, but he's no racist.
37:35Yeah.
37:39Yeah, one three.
37:44Yeah.
37:44Yeah, okay.
37:45I'll go and check.
37:46I'll report back shortly.
37:47One three out.
37:48What's that?
37:49Sonny's army's just running the station.
37:51Said she's heard noises and thinks there's someone in the house.
37:54I'd better go and check.
37:55You be all right here?
37:56Oh, yeah.
37:57I'll call you if there's anyone there.
37:58Thank you, sir.
38:08So who's this, your broad miller?
38:10His name's Mr. Azir.
38:11Tarek Azir, Sergeant.
38:12Acting on information received.
38:14Myself and PC Chitty called on Mr. Azir at his home at Mons Court, the Dragon Estate.
38:19I wanted to question him about a series of old ups at building societies.
38:22Why would our PC Chitty search the bedroom?
38:25Why search the bedroom when this was found amongst his property?
38:27Right.
38:28Take a seat, will you, Mr. Azir?
38:30I need a doctor.
38:31Quickly, please.
38:32Yes, I expect you do.
38:33But first, Mr. Azir, will you let me have your full name?
38:38Strange.
38:41Are you having us on?
38:44Look, come in, will you?
38:51Nice, isn't it?
38:53It's not bad for a broom cupboard.
38:55Would you like a drink?
38:56Er, no.
38:57I'd best be pushing back then.
38:58Gin, vodka, scotch, Irish.
39:03I've been thinking about what you said.
39:05What's that?
39:07About security.
39:09Personal security.
39:11And I'd like to put a proposition to you.
39:15I want you to be my bodyguard.
39:17Eh?
39:19Bodyguard.
39:19Water, soda?
39:20Yeah.
39:21Oh, no.
39:22Neat.
39:22Thanks.
39:24What's your first name, by the way?
39:28I'd rather not go on calling you Odell.
39:31It's Gerry.
39:32Gerard.
39:41So, what do you say?
39:45Well, it's very nice of you.
39:46Sonia.
39:47Sonia.
39:49But I mean, it mightn't show, but I've got a job already.
39:52How much do you earn?
39:55Cheers, by the way.
39:58Well, it's about 12,000.
39:5916 with overtime, so it's not bad, really.
40:02I have friends who lose more than that in five minutes at the roulette table.
40:05So?
40:06So, name your price.
40:10Obviously, you'd have to travel extensively.
40:13I always go first class, of course, so it's not too much of a pain.
40:18Yeah.
40:21Yeah, well...
40:25You're serious, aren't you?
40:29Absolutely serious.
40:30And what I want, I tend to get.
40:34What kind of music do you like, Gerry?
40:41God.
40:54Whatever you do, don't come back now, O'Dowd.
41:02Oh, that's better.
41:09O'Dowd.
41:18One seven to one three, do you read?
41:21One three, do you read me?
41:23Over.
41:25I'll murder you for this O'Dowd.
41:41Oi, you!
41:42Stop right there, police!
41:46Gerry!
41:48Gerry!
41:49Gerry!
41:50I'll murder you.
41:52Do you listen to read this?
41:55Gerry!
41:58Gerry!
42:00Gerry!
42:01Wait a second.
42:05Gerry!
42:11Gerry!
42:13Gerry!
42:14Gerry!
42:14He's down there. Stay there!
42:21It's OK, Jan, I've got him!
42:22You've got him!
42:23You mean I've got him, you great scouse!
42:25Lay about!
42:29Ah, yes!
42:30OK, pal, who are you?
42:31It's Edgar Whitney, my next-door neighbour.
42:34Somebody is.
42:36We'll be checking out these names, Mr Hussier.
42:39Of the good ones.
42:44I just don't understand it, Terry.
42:47When I was at school, you was dead keen on sciences, weren't you?
42:50Always the first one with the right answer.
42:53Media handwriting.
42:55All them different coloured pens you use, remember?
42:59It was a pleasure to copy off you.
43:03So, what happened?
43:06Tarek?
43:08What happened?
43:10It's a doctor to see you, Tarek.
43:12Oh, no.
43:13Oh, yeah.
43:15It's good as golds are, Tarek.
43:17So?
43:20What happened?
43:25People like you happened.
43:44The flasher.
43:49Right, Gerry.
43:50Down.
43:53I've been so ashamed.
43:57I'm terribly ashamed.
44:01My wife, she died last year after a long illness.
44:06I looked after her till the end.
44:10I suppose...
44:12I suppose it must have been the stroke.
44:23What's your name?
44:25Argreaves.
44:27WPC, Argreaves.
44:31Look, all I'm asking is, do you think 30,000's over the top?
44:34Oh, I'd go for 50.
44:35Nice round sum.
44:36Seriously?
44:37Wow.
44:37What price do you put on your body, Gerry?
44:39How useless you are.
44:41Go on then, Gerry.
44:42Swap me, Kim.
44:43This mad psychopath with an axe.
44:44I found a faint.
44:45I see you tackled in single antlers.
44:47Oh, what is he again then?
44:4883, eh?
44:49You know, Gerry, it's characters like you that make the crime squad such a good laugh.
44:53I wouldn't shed many tears leaving this outfit.
44:56To become some rich girl's poodle?
44:58I'm surprised at you, Gerry.
45:01When are you seeing her?
45:02No.
45:03Thought I'd pop over the ceiling, actually.
45:05You know, drop in sort of casual-like.
45:06About 30 years ago.
45:13PHONE RINGS
45:15PHONE RINGS
45:23Yes?
45:25I've come to see Sonia.
45:27Who are you?
45:28I'm a friend of the family. Why?
45:30She's fine. She's busy right now.
45:32Uh, busy doing what, John? Mind your own business.
45:35Listen, don't take that tone with me. I'm a police officer. See?
45:40PCO Dowd, Divisional Crime Squad, in case you can't read.
45:43Yes, well, that to you, pig face.
45:45You've got to tie it up, have you, while you're stressed again? Sonia!
45:53Are you OK, Sonia?
45:55This is Gerry, everybody, my pet policeman.
45:58Oh, nice.
46:07What do you think you're doing, charging in here like this?
46:12You see, I thought...
46:14Never mind.
46:16Don't think.
46:18Thinking's not good for some people.
46:22Sonia?
46:23Pedro?
46:24You hurt me, Sonia.
46:26I never. He slipped, that's all.
46:28Anyway, you got a bit lippy. You should have just said, mate.
46:31It really hurt me.
46:36Get out.
46:43Look.
46:44Sonia!
46:46Sonia!
