00:0130 quid.
00:04You're 30.
00:06Up 50.
00:14You're 50.
00:17And up another 50.
00:30Come on, pal. Are you going to have some or what?
00:32All right, all right. What's all the rush?
00:34I'll tell you what all the rush is, son.
00:36That lucky face there's got most of my dough.
00:38All right?
00:44I reckon you're bluffing.
00:46You're back caught.
00:49Not me.
00:51All right.
00:53Pull them raise.
00:56Up another runner.
00:59A ton, don't you, pal?
01:04Cool.
01:07Raise another ton.
01:16You're on a chance, sir.
01:18200 notes and you'll find out, pal.
01:27Right, pal.
01:28Just you and me in a final.
01:30Nice.
01:33You're 100.
01:41Up.
01:46Two.
01:48How's it, Quaggio?
01:49Tasty.
01:53You're two.
01:58And up three.
02:01Call him, son.
02:03He's on a bluff.
02:04Sticks out a mile.
02:06Listen, pal.
02:07I paid half-pound notes to get this far.
02:10You pulled out, so shut it, okay?
02:21I'll call a bet.
02:26I do, pal.
02:28You was well beat.
02:32You reckon, do you?
02:34Yeah.
02:35Me and I, you was on a right chance, sir.
02:38So what with the game?
02:39I'll tell you what.
02:40What's your short to call a bet?
02:43About a tour?
02:45Yeah, about.
02:46Well, here's your big chance, big mouth.
02:48You make up a shortfall and I'll take it the bet's called, okay?
02:51Hey.
02:52I...
02:52Come on, pal.
02:53You were pretty sure a moment ago when it weren't your dough up on offer.
02:56Come on.
02:57His card's against mine.
02:59Simple enough bet, innit?
03:17All right?
03:20You've got five seconds, son.
03:25What's in it for me?
03:26Double your money.
03:28You've got to be joking.
03:30Half the pot, then you're on.
03:32All right.
03:43Your bet caught.
03:49That I've seen enough.
03:51It's hard life, innit?
03:53Oi.
03:53You haven't won yet, pal.
03:55I want to see that last card.
03:56You reckon he was on a chancer, pal?
03:59The lucky boss has filled it in no risk.
04:02I still want to see it.
04:04Yeah.
04:22I think you've upset him.
04:28You're getting too greedy, Max.
04:30You're becoming the dearest house on the manor.
04:32That's why you was complaining, eh, Bobby?
04:35You mean to sit down?
04:36You know what the house cut is, eh?
04:38Yeah.
04:39Thieve in git, Max.
04:40A fat thieve in git.
04:42Oh, sorry, second.
04:43You're making.
04:55Oh, what?
04:57Oh, sorry.
05:06Oh, what was the name of you?
05:06Oh, boy.
05:07Oh, boy.
05:07Oh, boy.
05:09Oh, boy.
05:10Oh, boy.
05:11Oh, boy.
05:12Oh, boy.
05:13Oh, my boy.
05:29Robert, are you awake, son?
05:31Robert?
05:41Oh, well.
05:43Fighting again.
05:46Oh.
05:47Oh.
05:49Here's a nice cup of rosy lea.
05:54And a bit of post.
06:00A wakey-wakey.
06:03And rise and shine.
06:09It's, uh...
06:11It's half twelve when time you was up.
06:13Your mum's doing her trust.
06:16So wasn't you.
06:19Oh.
06:34There's nothing else, Tommy.
06:35You make a mean cup of tea.
06:40You look as if you found a bit of agro last night.
06:44Or was it that lovely lady of yours?
06:46Oh, shut up.
06:48Yeah, all right.
06:48Sorry, son.
06:52What are you doing round here so early then, anyway?
06:55Yeah, me and your mum's going down the market, do a bit of shopping.
06:58We might nip in for a pie and mash and all.
07:05Fancy, son?
07:07Oh, yeah.
07:08Full of tricks, mate.
07:11All right.
07:15So, they found the ace up your sleeve, did they?
07:18I'll put an ace up you in a minute.
07:20Mm-hm.
07:22You're getting past it, son.
07:24You're too old.
07:26And by the looks of it, far too slow, aren't you?
07:30Just take the old girl out, will you?
07:34Oi.
07:35What?
07:37Check.
07:53He's right, son.
07:56Far too slow.
07:59Mummy, have you put the cat out?
08:00Hey, mum.
08:01It's in the kitty.
08:03Mum.
08:03What is it?
08:09Yeah, yeah.
08:11You've been at it again, haven't you, you little sod?
08:13Look, mum.
08:14Robbie, just for my sake,
08:16I can't you for once act clever and keep out of trouble?
08:19Look, a couple of days ago, weren't you,
08:21when I bunged you 50, Wednesday, Monday, something?
08:2440.
08:25And I've got me weekend shopping to do.
08:27Let you have it back, son.
08:27I'm sorry, son.
08:29Straight up.
08:29No, I haven't got it to give you.
08:31Please, mum.
08:33Robbie, if I have to choose between you...
08:36...and me weekend joint...
08:37Do you think you'll come in or what?
08:52The last thing I'll need at this moment is aggro, Danny.
08:56Guy's been as good as gold in the past.
08:58Always weighed out, no bother.
09:01Well, he ain't no more.
09:05Insisted on seeing me.
09:06Yeah.
09:08I didn't want to get silly, like.
09:10The lads have just been waiting for the nod.
09:13Been dead quiet this last year or two.
09:15Yeah, it's just the way I want it to stay.
09:18No aggravation unless I say so.
09:20Right?
09:23They are 12 to 1, Barca 6.
09:27Newbury, 2 o'clock, state forecast.
09:31Oh, brilliant.
09:32You should see the other geyser, kid.
09:34Oh, I don't think so, mate.
09:35Ooh.
09:36Newbury, state forecast.
09:38£105.06.
09:41£716.76.
09:45Newbury.
09:46Natoy Town.
09:47NWB OKSOUregent.
09:48£716.776.
09:497-6. 7-1, arrival.
09:54Come and catch you at it, did you?
09:56I should be so lucky.
09:57Number two, on clear purse.
10:00Is my main man in, then?
10:01Yeah, out back, grinding his cocoa.
10:04Oh, someone had it off, then?
10:05No, monty.
10:07Had a cocoa and a 50-1 at Newbury.
10:09Oh, my head hurts.
10:12What's that, Joni?
10:15Hey, you know where I live, kiddo.
10:16No double bookings there.
10:18And you a married woman?
10:19Oh, dear.
10:23Oh, nice job.
10:25Can fix you up for one if you like.
10:26No, no, no, Tara.
10:28I'll settle for what I've got.
10:31So, don't know who it was, eh?
10:33Well, I'll find out.
10:35Listen, did you have a word with your accountant for us?
10:39He says you've got problems.
10:41Well, I know that, don't I?
10:42Look, mate, he can't help it.
10:43That plum is so straight, he's immoral, know what I mean?
10:46Yeah, gnomes in his garden.
10:47With fishing poles.
10:50I don't know why I'm prying, really.
10:51Well, in your game, you've got to know someone, haven't you?
10:53Oh, steady on, Robert.
10:55This is a sport of kings.
10:57Anyway, I thought your lady was going to get you a meet with her governor's book cooker.
11:01Well, she was.
11:02Or did.
11:03I couldn't make the meet.
11:31Thanks, Jan.
11:37Henry, thanks for all the trouble you and Mr Cook went to the other night.
11:41I'm very sorry about Robbie not turning up.
11:44He's a fool to himself, is Robbie?
11:47Well, I did it for you, Jan, and you don't have to apologise for him.
11:50You only have to ask, you know that.
11:54Anything, anytime.
11:56No, no, no, no.
11:57No, no.
12:18You only have to die.
12:21No, no, no.
12:23No, no.
12:24No.
12:37Manners, Danny. Manners.
12:39Phil's a client, okay?
12:59What, again?
13:01Yeah, old big knockers flung us out, didn't she?
13:04I mean, all he did was bite black George on the legs.
13:07Always done that, ain't he?
13:08You tried feeding him?
13:10Eh?
13:10Well, perhaps he's hungry.
13:11He thinks old George is a black pudding on legs.
13:13Oh, yeah, very funny, I'm sure.
13:16What you been up to?
13:17I fell out of bed.
13:18Here, have you seen Geordie on your travels?
13:20Yeah, out the road. Cut us a terrace.
13:22Sure.
13:22See you in the morning.
13:23Oh, by the way, Banjo Boy, $2.50, Beverly, a million.
13:27See ya.
13:32So what's the problem, Phil?
13:34Why are you suddenly turned monkey on us?
13:36I ain't turned monkey, Frank.
13:39Then why send my lads away without a donation?
13:42You fed up with a peaceful existence?
13:43We had a deal, Frank.
13:47Have a deal, Phil.
13:49We have a deal.
13:50All right.
13:52But why start putting up the ante without having a chat about it?
13:55Another $250 a week, Frank.
13:57It's not easy to find.
14:00How much?
14:01How much did you say?
14:04$250 sovs.
14:05That puts my outlay up by 50%!
14:08A grand a month!
14:09Since when?
14:10Since when did I stick up the ante?
14:13About a month ago.
14:16Oh, don't tell me that's, er...
14:20I don't know nothing about it, Frank.
14:21Straight up.
14:22Well, you bloody whore should do, Denny.
14:24Out.
14:34Phil, I'm sorry you've had aggravation.
14:36Leave it with me, I'll sort it.
14:38Right.
14:39Now, it's $500 a week.
14:40No more, no less.
14:42Okay.
14:43Slight misunderstanding, my end.
14:49Heads up!
14:50Bravo!
14:51How's Trix?
14:52Hold on, call yourself a builder, do you?
14:55What's up with you, man?
14:56It's a grand job.
14:58Do good for the peasants.
15:11Hold on a minute.
15:13There's a bit coming off.
15:13Oh, shut up!
15:20You too bad?
15:22Hold me, Charles.
15:23Oh, bloody hell.
15:25What's up?
15:25Hold me, Charles.
15:28Come on, you way.
15:29Look, merchant, what have you done with them?
15:31Tell me what?
15:31Get off!
15:32Get off!
15:33Get off!
15:34What are you doing?
15:35Leave him alone!
15:39Oi, lady.
15:40Have you seen what he's done to my mush?
15:42He's an animal, love.
15:43I wouldn't let him in your house.
15:45He's horrible.
15:45Oh, silly beggars.
15:51You all done here, are you?
15:52Aye.
15:52I'm going back to the yard.
15:53Just a little bit with this, ladda.
15:57Oops!
16:01Do you see anything of Jan down at the yard?
16:04Can't help but see her, can I?
16:06Does she say anything?
16:08She, er, she mentioned that she and Debbie might be going on a trip.
16:11See her mum and dad.
16:12In Australia.
16:14Yeah, well, she's always talking about that.
16:16No, I meant more about me and her, like.
16:18No, she wouldn't, would she?
16:20Not to me, man.
16:21Well, not a word.
16:22Oh, and she, er, didn't seem too happy in herself.
16:27Oh.
16:31Oh, Diamond.
16:32Aye.
16:36Still trying his luck, is he?
16:38Why, he's persistent, I'll give him that.
16:40That's why he's good in business, I suppose.
16:42He's got no chance for him, my Jan.
16:46Diamond might be a bunny merchant, but he's a well-off one, right?
16:49He's got money, he's got houses, and he thinks the world of that girl.
16:54And what have you got to offer her?
16:56Leave off.
16:56He's married already, isn't he?
16:58Yeah, I wouldn't call his set up a marriage.
16:59It's more an agreement.
17:02Now, it'll be tools.
17:09Get some lift back to the yard.
17:10Look here.
17:11And then you can treat me to some dinner at Max's.
17:14Yeah.
17:14I don't want to have a word with that fat bastard, anyway.
17:18What do you think I'm running here?
17:19A free trading zone?
17:20I'm sorry, Frank.
17:21I never figured Lamps would pull us through like that.
17:23Does he no good, Burke?
17:24You know he can't keep away from his spieler.
17:25Don't talk him, I'll have his head off.
17:27You won't, son.
17:28You've done enough.
17:44A couple of minutes, Geordie.
18:08What do you want?
18:10Can we talk?
18:11There's nothing to talk about.
18:13It's all been said.
18:14And said, and said again.
18:16Come on.
18:17Hear me out.
18:19No.
18:21Go away.
18:23Will you just listen?
18:25We've got to talk.
18:26You're very good at that, Rob.
18:28But I'm not listening anymore.
18:29Now, please go away.
18:30I've got work to do.
18:31Oh, Princess, look.
18:32No, you look, Rob.
18:34You made your choice.
18:36Me or the big spieler.
18:38And I lost.
18:41Jan, do you know...
18:43Oh, I'm sorry.
18:44I didn't realise.
18:46Not important.
18:47Henry, about that dinner.
18:49Tonight?
18:50Thanks.
18:51I'd like that very much.
18:52Oh, yeah, right.
18:55Carry on.
19:00I'm sorry, you say?
19:04Nothing.
19:20Give her time, man.
19:22You want some grub or what?
19:34Hello.
19:36Robby.
19:37Yeah?
19:37Yeah.
19:39Oh, your mama, she better you good, huh?
19:41Because you get home so very late.
19:43I won this with a full house last night, Max.
19:4820 seconds after you let me out the back door.
19:51You kid, Max, eh?
19:53You mean, uh...
19:54That's right, son.
19:55Just outside your back door, I was well turned over.
19:59Oh, Bobby, what a shame, huh?
20:02How much you lose, eh?
20:03Every penny I won here last night, Max.
20:06Oh, po-po-po-po-po-po-po.
20:08What is this place she's coming to?
20:10Eh-heh?
20:12Who was the, uh, stroppy geezer, Max?
20:14And the other face, the one I drew in?
20:17Uh, Bobby, do you need to ask?
20:20I fixed up the school, eh?
20:22You play, you don't play.
20:23I know what nothing to do after.
20:25I was...
20:26All right, Max.
20:27I tell you, you got five seconds to give me a couple of names.
20:33Or I'm gonna get well out of all time.
20:35I can't help.
20:37I know no names.
20:39I know no...
20:40I know nothing.
20:42I'm gonna burn your grease factory down, Max.
20:46But please...
20:47Steady, Red Bull.
20:50Max, I've known this man here for a long, long time.
20:54Now, why don't you do yourself a really good favor?
20:58Tell him what he wants to know.
21:01Because if you don't...
21:04He'll probably top you.
21:06Eh?
21:07Oh, you will.
21:08Eh?
21:12Okay.
21:15Okay.
21:24Right.
21:25Put the word out I want to see him.
21:27No, better still, find him.
21:29Find out my finger bastard and bring him to me.
21:34I'll give him a game of cars, that car, son.
21:48No need for you to get involved, mate.
21:50It could get silly.
21:51Aye, I know.
21:53Be prepared.
21:54That was our motto in the Girl Guide.
21:55Turn it in, son.
21:56That ain't necessary.
21:57No.
21:58Have a gander in that mirror, Robbo.
22:13All right?
22:14Yeah.
22:15How about yourself?
22:16Do you remember me, son?
22:17Yeah, of course.
22:18Of course you did me up bad, I tell you.
22:21Stick it on me tab.
22:22Tell, Sid.
22:23And drink.
22:24No, sir.
22:25Don't worry, Sid.
22:25I'll square me slate.
22:26You know that.
22:27It's all right.
22:27I'll get it.
22:28Yeah.
22:29Cheers.
22:32Old lady, one for rocking or what?
22:34Yeah.
22:35Do you remember who the big geezer was?
22:38The one that dragged you in on the last hand.
22:40The moaning git?
22:41Yeah.
22:43Don't know him exactly.
22:44Or know of him.
22:45Know where I can find him.
22:49That down to him?
22:51Ain't down to you, then.
22:52Me?
22:53What are you on about?
22:54What's this all about?
22:55I got rolled last night when I left Maxie's drum.
22:59Hey, hold on a minute.
23:00It weren't me.
23:00Yeah, all right, all right.
23:01You'd hardly be sitting here having a beer on the slate if you had my two grand in your
23:04bin, would you?
23:06Yeah, that's for sure.
23:07All right.
23:08I don't like losing.
23:09But I don't go around playing strokes like that.
23:12Ask anyone around here.
23:13I said I'd believe you.
23:17Do you know a villain called Frank Aldina?
23:22Yeah, who doesn't?
23:24Yeah.
23:25Well, this geezer you're on about, he's one of his headbangers.
23:29I only know his nickname.
23:32Lumps.
23:35Well?
23:37I can't find him nowhere, Frank.
23:39What do you mean you can't find him?
23:40He can't just have disappeared, can he?
23:43Well, I checked out the boozers, the clubs, nothing.
23:45I drew a blank all round.
23:47Terrific.
23:49I found out where he was last night, though, Frank.
23:52An old Grieco's cave.
23:54Spieler, right?
23:55Yeah.
23:56Rolled a guy after the game, be all the counts.
24:00Anyone we know?
24:02Nah, just some mud punter.
24:05Find out if you like.
24:08Yeah.
24:09Find out the geezer's name.
24:12I'd like to have a few words.
24:25French or Italian?
24:28Sorry.
24:30Why?
24:31Because you used me to get it rubby.
24:33Something like that.
24:35Mrs. Oliver,
24:37I've been trying to get you to come to dinner with me for the last two years.
24:41It matters not how I achieve my goals.
24:44Only that I do.
24:46Nevertheless, it was rude and unfair of me.
24:49I'll pick you up at eight, OK?
24:58So, er, what's next, then?
25:00Find this animal called Lamps.
25:01What else?
25:02Anyway, you took it down to the sort of look you deliberately go looking for.
25:05Why not without a shoving tank or three?
25:06Got no choice, mate.
25:08It was more than just money this time.
25:09That little bundle was my climb-out stake.
25:11Oh, I heard that one before.
25:13Yeah, well, this time I mean it.
25:14I want out.
25:15I want to join the system.
25:16Be normal.
25:18And that animal stopped me.
25:20Why, the system stinks, man.
25:21You know it.
25:23I've seen you blow more than iron in a week, in an hour at a spieler.
25:27You're better off as you are.
25:28You reckon, do you?
25:30Why, if I was single, you wouldn't catch me grafting for a living.
25:33I mean, you've got it made, man.
25:34Beats?
25:35Fine.
25:36Where's the bread?
25:37Over there.
25:38I mean, you've got your cards, your GGs.
25:41You've got no worries.
25:42No worries?
25:44Take a good hard look at me and earn a lesson.
25:47I'm 41 years of age.
25:49I've got no trade, no prospects.
25:51I'm tired.
25:51I'm worn out.
25:53If I don't get myself sorted out real quick, it's going to be too late.
25:56For what?
25:56For everything.
25:57Geordie, can't you see, if I don't get myself sorted out, there's going to be no future for
26:00me and Jan.
26:01All I've got's left me old mum, and she ain't going to be around forever.
26:05Then what have I got?
26:07Sweet F8.
26:08I'm going to end up like those poor little buggers down the betting shop, with nothing
26:13to look forward to but the next race.
26:15Wet in their pants when a Fred Bob Yankee comes off, because it's going to give them a
26:19steak for the next meeting.
26:20No mate, now you do yourself a real good favour, don't ever go down my road.
26:26It's a mugs game.
26:33Listen, if you, I mean if you really are dead set on going straight like, you know you've
26:39always got a job with us.
26:41Anytime.
26:42Cheers mate.
26:46Um, where's the Buddha?
26:49They race together, followed by one and six, making ground on the final bend into the downstraight.
26:56Thanks Robbie.
26:57Five takes it up, goes a length clear from two, one and six, start to move behind.
27:02At the waterline it's five, starting to come away, two, six, one together.
27:07Yeah, five to one, went to words, Newcastle.
27:10It was on it itself.
27:11What about badge I boarded?
27:12Bought to it by six mints.
27:14What a tasty.
27:16Who won a Beverly then, Ferret?
27:18Oh, shied.
27:19Ferret, you better not have that stinky mutt with you.
27:23No love, ain't.
27:24He's out in the street.
27:27No.
27:29Out.
27:30Both of you, I've told you before, out.
27:33Sorry mate, off the car.
27:36Poor pile of legs.
27:38It's a thing what we put down.
27:40Is it the mutt or Ferret?
27:42Leave it out.
27:43The old man, I wouldn't be the same one out of them.
27:46Robbo.
27:47Got them out.
27:48Difficult to pick up the actual leader.
27:49Yeah, boy.
27:51Such a joke.
27:54Yeah.
27:56Yeah.
27:57What's up girl?
27:58Rating for a halfway fair charter.
28:00Yeah.
28:02Ten pounder went.
28:03You're on.
28:06You had a visitor.
28:07Guy named Denny Moore.
28:09Frank Aldino's obbo.
28:11Heavy robbo.
28:13Real heavy.
28:14I know, because Frank Aldino's an account client of mine.
28:16Second time that geezer's name's come up today.
28:19Yeah, well that geezer, as you call him, wants to talk to you.
28:21That rubbish that rolled you last night.
28:23Works for Frank Aldino.
28:24Charming character they call Lumps.
28:27Why does he want to talk to me?
28:30That's your phone number to ring.
28:32The Denny guy told me to tell you it ain't aggro.
28:34Well, not for you any road.
28:37Oh, no.
28:38Not another.
28:40I don't know why I'm in this business.
28:46I hope the sliver club's the only touch-up, Denny.
28:48Because if there's anyone else...
28:50I'll get round a few tonight, Frank.
28:52No.
28:53I want you here.
28:56Leave it, Izzy.
28:57Do it another time.
28:58I'm all done now.
28:59Anyway, I'm still on dinner.
29:00Yeah, yeah, terrific.
29:02Give me one of each.
29:03Thank you very much.
29:11Yeah?
29:13It's Lumps.
29:14You want to see me?
29:15Yeah.
29:16Come on up.
29:19We've had a result, Frank.
29:21It's Lumps.
29:24You're joking.
29:32Yep.
29:37Tell him more.
29:38Who wants him?
29:39I do.
29:40Look, I'm not in the mood for fun.
29:41He's who wants him.
29:42Tell him he's Robbie Box.
29:45Hang about.
29:46Says he's Bobby Box.
29:48That's the punter you wanted.
29:51Oh, yeah.
29:53Hey, listen, pal.
29:55You got turned over last night.
29:56Is that right?
29:57Who wants to know?
29:58I do.
29:59I want to know.
30:01You're the Denny bloke, then, or what?
30:02No, I ain't.
30:05Now, listen, if you want a fair chance of getting your dough, mate,
30:08you'll be at a slipper club at 10 o'clock tonight.
30:10Right?
30:11Just be there.
30:13Tell the bloke on the door you're my guest, all right?
30:16And who are you?
30:18Frank Ordino.
30:20Be there.
30:24All right, mate.
30:24All right, lads.
30:26Lads, me old son.
30:27You love a spieler, don't you?
30:29Love a spieler, Frank.
30:30Terrific.
30:31You got one on tonight and I'll stack you in.
30:33All right?
30:34Yeah, terrific.
30:39Hmm.
30:45Hello, son.
30:46What's up?
30:47You've left us in a bit of bother here, haven't you?
30:50Nothing you can't sort out of, has it, Mum?
30:52She's over at the railway having a drink with a bingo crown.
30:55Oh, yeah.
30:56Said she'd bring something in for supper.
30:59Hey, what's all this about?
31:02What's it look like?
31:04Taxicab prices?
31:05You can't even drive.
31:07Well, then, you can give us a lift across to the slipper club later.
31:10Save us getting a cab.
31:12It's just like you, isn't it?
31:14I'm in a lift from anybody.
31:15Why don't you buy yourself a motor?
31:18I might just do that.
31:22And, um, I'll have the green beans.
31:25Thank you, sir.
31:28Thanks very much.
31:37Sorry that you came.
31:37Oh, no.
31:40Do I look that bad?
31:42You look beautiful.
31:46It's not what I meant.
31:53Well, let's just say that you do seem a shade, preoccupied.
31:57Sorry.
31:57I don't mind.
32:05Robbie Box.
32:07Yes.
32:11He looks as though he's got into another ball.
32:14I had noticed.
32:18Has a knack of getting himself into trouble.
32:24Well, when you choose to earn your living the way he does, I suppose that's inevitable.
32:29Must be a hard life.
32:32Oh, I don't know.
32:33The lazy, the shiftless, they seem to have it easy, if you ask me.
32:37Oh, come on.
32:38Let's not spoil all this.
32:39Forget about Robbie.
32:41Let's enjoy ourselves.
32:47What's the game then, Frank?
32:50It's Liver Club, mate.
32:56First of the Amherst on Saturday, lads.
32:58My brother's got a couple of seats.
32:59Yeah.
33:00I'll have some of that.
33:01You going?
33:02I wouldn't miss it for the world, mate.
33:16A bit posh for you, isn't it, Robbo?
33:18What, the slipper club?
33:19Nah, just another dive, Tom.
33:22Want to come on in?
33:23Ha ha.
33:24Not my scene, Robbo.
33:30You daft dick.
33:31Shut up.
33:34You don't mean taxes?
33:35I think I own the road.
33:37Just take it nice and easy, Tom.
33:39No, don't you say that to me, son.
33:41You say that last stock car I'll carry behind.
33:45And you're thinking of buying one.
33:57Thanks for the lift, John.
33:59Mind a go, son?
34:00Yeah, Tom.
34:08You remember, please, sir?
34:09I'm a guest of Frank Aldino.
34:11Right.
34:11This way.
34:28Mr Aldino's guest, Phil.
34:30Thanks, Nick.
34:31Come on in.
34:35Bobby Box, right?
34:36Yeah.
34:37Frank Aldino, right?
34:40Sit down.
34:42Tom.
34:44Drink?
34:46Yeah.
34:47Jack Daniels sounds good.
34:52Nice place.
34:54Yeah.
34:55Warm, mate.
34:57Yeah.
34:58Straight up?
35:00Yeah.
35:03Here you go.
35:04Done.
35:06Cheers.
35:07Cheers.
35:10Right then, son.
35:11You and me and Phil here have all got something in common.
35:14Is that right?
35:15Like I said.
35:16You and me and Phil have all been turned over by the same geezer.
35:20And look at the state you're in, looks like you came off the worst.
35:22Yeah, I drink that, yeah.
35:24Still, you're bound to take a few good items in your game.
35:27Right, Bobby boy?
35:29Occupational hazard, yeah.
35:31You're older than I thought.
35:33Old enough to know better than to step out in a dark alley with a bundle in your bin.
35:37I should have sussed it was bad news, a big mistake.
35:40Yeah.
35:41Costly in all, I understand.
35:42Very.
35:43How very?
35:43Two grand, very.
35:47Right, Bobby, son.
35:49I said on the phone I'd give you a chance to get your dough back, right?
35:52That's why I'm here.
35:54Now, the way I see it is this.
35:55I didn't lose any dough.
35:57What I lost was far more important to me.
35:59I lost a face, respect.
36:01To me, that means my livelihood.
36:03Do you know what I mean?
36:04Yeah, of course.
36:05But Philly, I lost a grand.
36:07The trouble is, the pal knows who you won a loss.
36:10It all came out of Phil's pocket.
36:13But I lost too.
36:14So you did, so you did.
36:16Now then.
36:17Sitting in the other room, three geezers, all waiting for us.
36:21One of them's Denny Moore.
36:22Another one's a mate of Phil's, loves a game of stud.
36:25Now, who do you think the third fella is?
36:29Lumps.
36:30Right.
36:31Right first time.
36:36Now, because what I lost means far more than me than a lousy few grand, I'll get his bones.
36:43Can't I just have one good kick?
36:47We'll see.
36:48Okay.
36:49How do I get my money back?
36:51You play poker.
36:53You play poker and hope the cards are running for you.
36:55And if you win, I shall say to it personally that you get them safe and sound.
37:00Now, that's not a bad deal, is it, Bobby boy?
37:03What's the alternative?
37:05There ain't one.
37:07Well, put like that, it's a good deal.
37:13Hello, Laurie, my old mate.
37:15How are you?
37:15Nice to see you again.
37:17You're looking well.
37:18Frank, don't look to provide yourself.
37:19It's all.
37:20Laurie, meet Bobby.
37:22I think you know everybody else.
37:25Right then, chaps.
37:26Let's do the business.
37:34Let's do the business.
37:44Right, gentlemen, the game is five-card stud, two cards down.
37:49There's no limit, as long as the bet's covered by cash.
37:57First jack deals, gentlemen.
38:05Your deal, Laurie?
38:10I don't know which.
38:41Didn't know you was a friend of the family, pal.
38:43Would that have made any difference, eh?
38:45Nah, he's still beat us.
38:47That foothouse was a right fluke in the defoe.
38:49He won me more than I bargained for.
38:53A lot more.
38:57King to bet.
38:59Yeah, I've got a score in the king.
39:01Keep it nice and friendly, like.
39:04I'll meet.
39:06Your score, up a cuckoo.
39:09Ah, up a cuckoo.
39:1230 quid.
39:13Cold.
39:15And 30.
39:17And up another score.
39:19That's 50 to me, I'll meet.
39:21Yeah, I'm there.
39:24Cool.
39:27Hi, officer.
39:27All down.
39:36Still the king to bet.
39:38Yeah, I'm out.
39:39I'll go 50.
39:41Nah.
39:43I'll stay with you, lumps.
39:44Cool.
39:46And raise another score.
39:47That's 70 to me.
39:49I'm there.
39:50Cool.
39:52And done.
39:52All right, then.
39:54Here we go.
39:54Four runners.
39:58Yeah, I didn't need.
40:05A pair of deuces to bet.
40:10Give it a 70.
40:11Not me.
40:1670.
40:1670 to bet.
40:17Up 30.
40:19You're right, Sam.
40:21And up 50.
40:25Yeah, I'm there.
40:30Stay with us, lumps.
40:31Yeah, yeah, I'm there.
40:37All right, three runners.
40:41And the best of British.
40:46Well, that's bland, that.
40:53You and me again, pal.
40:58I came here to play poker, dickhead.
41:00Not to listen to you.
41:05One and a half.
41:13I'll let every mark go.
41:14For the moment.
41:16Just back on.
41:20One and a half.
41:24I'm two.
41:29You're two.
41:33And I'm one.
41:39You've got problems.
41:42Remember last night?
41:44With the boots on the other foot now, pal?
41:52You're a ton.
41:56Up's who?
41:59Shy.
42:00First hand and all.
42:02What you said is...
42:03Leave it be.
42:04Don't touch you.
42:04I ain't done yet, son.
42:06I ain't done yet.
42:07Put up or shut up.
42:12You know Gil Roach?
42:14Heaven's shop, Black King English.
42:15Yeah.
42:16I had three big winners come in today.
42:18Gil didn't have enough wedge in the till to weigh me out.
42:24You can check with him if you like.
42:27So what do you want?
42:28This?
42:29I just covered the bet.
42:30I mean, when you get down to the bones of the matter, you can't really lose, right?
42:34The bones of the matter.
42:36Very good.
42:38Now what about you, Bobby boy?
42:40You haven't even looked at that last card.
42:41And what you've got showing how exactly you're going to set the water like, now, is it?
42:44Well, that's my worry, Frank.
42:47This ain't right.
42:48You said cover bets in pound notes.
42:49No, Mark.
42:50It's just pound notes.
42:53I've got pound notes.
42:57All right, Bobby.
42:58I'll cover the bet.
43:00Just for the crack.
43:06Bet caught.
43:09Lay the hand.
43:13I've got him beat.
43:27Look, I think, look.
43:30Three of them.
43:31Three lovely bullets.
43:32You can't beat that, pal.
43:35I hope he does you bad, son.
43:37Because if he don't, I will.
43:39You've been sussed.
43:41Look, mate, I've got an odd bit of profit.
43:44You bet your arse you have.
43:46Rubbish!
43:46No, please, mate.
43:47I couldn't pay it all back, mate.
43:48It was only like a loan.
43:49Straight up.
43:51So you can have all that.
43:52All what's in here, Frank.
43:54You call it, son.
43:55Let's have a look at it.
43:56Give him a chance on the turn of a card.
44:00My bones remember.
44:01Turn it.
44:01The invoice, the pot.
44:03What's in his sky for a chance?
44:04What's the matter with you, son?
44:05He's rubbish.
44:06Look what he did.
44:07He turned you over like I was a-winking.
44:08He's not worth it.
44:09He wins.
44:10He walks away potless.
44:11You keep your lot.
44:13Why?
44:14I might not.
44:19You've got one chance, rubbish.
44:21The turn of that card.
44:27When the card's a winner,
44:29you walk away with what's in the pot.
44:31No more.
44:32He's mine.
44:35He's mine.
44:40Nicole, he's cheating.
44:42He must have done, Frank.
44:44Frank, he's cheating.
44:46Frank.
44:58Right, Bobby.
44:59You've got your wedge back,
45:01and we've got you home safe and sound.
45:03Now, ain't I a man of my word?
45:06What are you going to do with him?
45:07It's got nothing to do with you.
45:09Now, you go home and forget it.
45:12There was one hand I didn't want to win.
45:14You're a bigger mud than I thought.
45:16Win or lose, I'd have had him.
45:21Looks like she's still up.
45:29See you around, Bobby boy.
45:36Not if I can help it, Frankie boy.
45:54Not if I can help it.
46:20Unfortunately,
