00:01Three.
00:04One.
00:11Your bet, sir.
00:14Ton.
00:16Pass.
00:17Pass.
00:18One hundred to you, sir.
00:22Your turn.
00:27And up two.
00:30Fold.
00:32No, sir.
00:48Evening.
00:49Yeah.
00:55That's what I like to see.
00:56A man with a water loose.
01:02I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept cheques, I'm afraid.
01:04Look, I've got a lot of money on this pot.
01:06I'm sorry.
01:08What seems to be the trouble, Q?
01:09I want to cash a cheque to call this bet.
01:11I have explained everything, Mr. Carter.
01:14Um, how much you like, sir?
01:17Well, about a hundred pounds.
01:20I see.
01:24Well, I think we can make an exception on this occasion, sir.
01:26I assume we have a cheque card.
01:27Of course.
01:28Fine.
01:30Uh, two cheques for fifty pound made of cash.
01:45That's fine, sir.
01:57That's fine, sir.
01:58I think we can do it.
02:00Well, I mean I think we can do it all.
02:05There's a lot of money that we've got.
02:07I think we have, I mean, if...
02:14The on-sum-sum-sum-sum-sum....
02:48Hey, Jake!
02:55Over here!
03:03All right, Rob?
03:07Bad night?
03:08No, no. Great, great.
03:12Two more like that, one more like this for my mate here who's only walking home because he needs the
03:17exercise.
03:19All right, all right. So I had a bad night. How about you?
03:23I brought it back in the last few hours, mind you, playing with them burks around at Max's I had
03:27to.
03:27Yeah, should have been there myself, shouldn't I? Cheers, mate.
03:31Tough.
03:34Knackered.
03:35That's a game to get into. Earn a fortune.
03:39Any hours kind of suit, don't I?
03:43You're that mate of yours? The accountant?
03:46What, Symbols?
03:47Yeah, Symbols.
03:50That's his name, Symbols.
03:53The man's a diamond, Rob.
03:54I wouldn't put you onto a wrong one.
03:56He looks a bit old and doddery, but don't let that fool you.
03:58He's as sharp as vinegar.
04:01Symbols.
04:03Here, last night.
04:04Yeah, I might have a sniff, yeah.
04:05It had to be bent, Rob. It had to be.
04:07Well, because you did all your dough?
04:09No.
04:09You're talking like a typical mud punter.
04:12Which I know you, eh?
04:13Right. Good night, sunshine.
04:29Rob.
04:31Rob.
04:32Rob.
04:32Hmm?
04:33We're here.
04:35Hmm, Tom.
04:39Come with us tonight.
04:40See what you think.
04:41Why?
04:43Because if they are pulling a stroke, you're the one to suss it out, ain't ya?
04:47It all adds up the way I grow, don't it?
04:50You don't want to know, do you?
04:51That's right, I don't.
04:54Take him away and lose him, will ya?
04:58Rob!
04:58Look, mate, I'm sorry.
05:01Rob!
05:09Morning.
05:10Morning.
05:11Nice day.
05:12Yeah, like that.
05:17Ooh, lot of bottle.
05:19Harry.
05:20Don't be.
05:22What do you want?
05:24.
05:31,
06:01Come on, Debbie, you're late.
06:04I'll do for you, Robbie.
06:05It's not my fault we can't set your alarm.
06:08Come on, lower your bones.
06:10It's funny, I've never set it wrong before.
06:14Oh, no, there's no milk.
06:16There's none out on the step either.
06:18I'll get it.
06:19You've got to know where to look, see?
06:23Come on.
06:25Bye, Mum.
06:26Bye.
06:27Mind how you go.
06:33I should have made it an hour.
06:35I would have been too late for school then.
06:37Next time, babe.
06:39I should never have given you a key, Robbie Box.
06:48Should have taken the day off, Princess.
06:50We could have spent it...
06:51In your condition, you'd have been dead to the world by 9.30.
06:54Besides, it's Thursday, my busiest day.
06:56You've made me late.
06:57I didn't make you late.
07:00I've got a busy day as well, you know.
07:02Oh, a lot of meetings on, is there?
07:03No.
07:05Fixing up an appointment with an accountant Dick Mayer's put us on to.
07:08Turf, if I know Dick Mayer.
07:10Oh, ye of little faith.
07:12You will go, Rob.
07:15Milk has got a lot of bottle.
07:19It's nice cold, ice cold.
07:22Milk, milk, milk.
07:36I want this job done right.
07:38No comebacks.
07:39The key holder's a very good friend of one of the directors of the estate agents.
07:42You don't get comebacks off any of my work, Mr. Diamond.
07:44Yeah, yeah, but it's a two-man job, isn't it?
07:47No, don't worry about old Irish.
07:48He'll be all right when he's had some brekkie in him.
07:52Right, keep the hours down, right?
07:57Teddy!
07:58Good morning, Geordie.
08:00Afternoon.
08:02All right, mate.
08:04Jack, look, you know Thursday mornings are the one morning...
08:07I'm sorry, Irish.
08:08As you look, OK?
08:09Yeah.
08:12Geordie!
08:13You're going to get that job done today?
08:15You carry on, I'll see you.
08:18Right.
08:20He's got the jaw, has he?
08:21Aye, it's all your fault, man.
08:23Nothing to do with me.
08:24Morning, Henry.
08:27You all right?
08:28He is upset.
08:36Irish!
08:43Hey, Geordie.
08:44No.
08:45Hey?
08:45I'm going straight over to the job, right now, this minute.
08:48Of course you are, my son.
08:49It's probably on your way anyway.
08:53I must be off my rock.
08:55I mean, look at the time.
08:56We haven't done a stroke yet.
08:58I'm paying him, dearly.
09:00I'm this poor it is at that.
09:01I'm out.
09:02I'm out.
09:11I'm out.
09:15I'm out.
09:36It's me.
09:37I can see that, you silly old sod.
09:39Ten to one, if I jumped the gun and pulled yours, it would have been Robbie.
09:53To you.
09:57What are you after?
09:59Why are you all dressed up like a dog's dinner at this hour?
10:02I thought you was up the allotment.
10:04You're right. I am after something.
10:07Oh, Tommy.
10:09Has something happened?
10:10No, no, no. Nothing like that.
10:14You and me have been seeing each other for a long time now, girl.
10:18Yeah.
10:20And I just thought...
10:25that it was about time that we did everything proper like.
10:37I want us to get itched, love.
10:40Before it's too late.
10:43What?
10:50You silly old sod.
10:57Any other calls?
10:59Your wife rang.
11:00Oh, did she now?
11:02She did...
11:03sound a bit under the weather, so I said I'd get you to call her back.
11:07Oh.
11:08Did you now?
11:09Well, she did sound a bit upset.
11:13I'll ring her later.
11:14Anything else?
11:16Mr. Naylor from the bank called twice.
11:19And...
11:20Mr. Bonner from Building Supplies.
11:22That's it.
11:24Right.
11:25You'd better get me Naylor first,
11:27and I'll deal with Watson from Building Supplies later.
11:30Oh, and, um...
11:31some tea?
11:32Please, Jen?
11:34Oh, right.
11:45Henry.
11:46About this morning...
11:47Oh, yes.
11:48Look, Jen, um...
11:50I'm sorry if I was a bit sharp with you.
11:52I didn't sleep very well last night.
11:54No, you had every right.
11:55I shouldn't have been late.
11:56Especially on a Thursday.
11:58It won't happen again.
12:00You're forgiven.
12:01On one condition.
12:04Have lunch with me.
12:05Henry.
12:06Please.
12:08I'm in need of a friend to talk to.
12:20What's up, Geordie?
12:21No, I've only given you a lift, man.
12:23That's the end.
12:24I'm finished.
12:24You've had it.
12:25Always rabbiting.
12:26That's why you never get any work done.
12:29Hey, Dick!
12:32You fancy a walk?
12:35Yeah, all right.
12:37Here, Tarpon, take us to Cape Cairn's stop.
12:39Oh, no.
12:58Up here, up here, up here, up here.
13:00Lift it.
13:01Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it.
13:01Oh, oh.
13:02Short one, short one.
13:03Oh, booty legs.
13:04Nut me.
13:07Throw it.
13:08All right, hang on.
13:18Here, look, Rob.
13:19What?
13:20If it's about that account...
13:22No, no.
13:24For what, then?
13:25What it is, see?
13:27Well, it's... well...
13:29What?
13:30Whereabouts is this dive you're going to take us to, then?
13:32Down by the canal.
13:34It ain't a dive, neither.
13:35Might not be legal, but it's got a lot of class.
13:37Yeah, we've studied the Titanic.
13:44Are you, um...
13:45Are you sure that's all you wanted?
13:46There's a restaurant on the corner that serves a lovely...
13:48I'm sure it does.
13:49This is just fine for me.
13:51I like it for you.
13:54Okay.
14:22I must say, um, I was rather surprised to see you with Robbie Box this morning.
14:27I thought things were all over between you and him after he let you down so badly the other night.
14:33Why is it, Henry, that every time you ask me out, we always end up talking about my personal relationship
14:39with Robbie?
14:40Are you really that interested?
14:43Interested is probably not the right word.
14:45Baffled.
14:46Baffled would be more accurate.
14:48Baffled and concerned.
14:51Why baffled?
14:53Beautiful, intelligent woman like yourself.
14:56Seems such a dreadful way to say.
14:58Henry.
15:00I love him.
15:02That man, that is all.
15:04You'll end up supporting him.
15:06I've gambled away everything you own.
15:14Oh, Robbie.
15:17Oh, God.
15:25Oh, God.
15:27Oh, God.
15:28Oh, God.
15:30Oh, God.
15:35Oh, God.
15:54What's your sex book?
15:55Oh.
15:56All right?
15:57All right.
16:01You look as if you could sleep for a fortnight.
16:03Yeah, be there, definitely.
16:04Any clean shirts, eh?
16:05If only you put your shirts in the laundry.
16:07You're not going to start nagging again, are you?
16:09Eh, son.
16:11Do you want some dough?
16:11No, no, no, no.
16:12I don't need no money.
16:14Huh.
16:14It's just...
16:14You're not going to tell us about the birds and the bees again, are you?
16:17No.
16:17I'm sorry.
16:18I'm all ears now.
16:18What is it?
16:19Um, well, you see, Tommy and...
16:21We, Tommy and me, we've had a chat.
16:24Oh, good.
16:25Good.
16:25And, er, well, we, Tommy and me, we think, Robbie...
16:30Mother, you don't mean that, Randy, Tommy.
16:33No.
16:34I'm sorry.
16:43Oh, that's fantastic.
16:46A bad time and all.
16:51You don't mind, then, son?
16:53Me?
16:53Do you mind?
16:55I was going to have words with that young Thomas about his intentions, anyway.
17:01Robbie, son.
17:02That's lovely.
17:03Now, listen, young lady.
17:04Tonight, we all get pee...
17:06Oh, no, sorry.
17:07We all get drunk.
17:08Right.
17:10Do you really think that Robbie can change?
17:13Yes, yes, I do.
17:15He's a very strong character when you get to know him.
17:17Wanting to return to the system, as he calls it, is all his own idea.
17:21Well, having ideas and doing something about them are two entirely different things.
17:26Well, he's too far gone, Jen.
17:29It'll end up hurting you.
17:30He's kind of good at that.
17:30He's kind of good at that.
17:32He's kind of good at that.
17:35Yeah.
17:46He's kind of good at that.
17:47He's kind of good at that.
17:47He's kind of good at that.
17:47He's kind of good at that.
17:48He's kind of good at that.
17:48He's kind of good at that.
17:48He's kind of good at that.
17:48He's kind of good at that.
17:49He's kind of good at that.
17:50He's kind of good at that.
17:50He's kind of good at that.
17:51He's kind of good at that.
17:53He's kind of good at that.
17:58He's kind of good at that.
18:30It's not a problem that's as uncommon as you may think, Mr. Box.
18:34So, I mean, what does it all top up to? I mean, how do I start?
18:39You do realise you'll have to pay.
18:42The Inland Revenue is not in the habit of letting chaps like you get off scot-free.
18:46How much?
18:48Until I can make an assessment of your earnings over the past 20 years.
18:51Well, how do we do that?
18:53It won't be easy.
18:55You do also realise that once we set the ball rolling, make it official, it is then unstoppable, no turning
19:06back.
19:08Once the Inland Revenue will get their sharp little teeth into you, they won't let go until you bleed.
19:16Do you have access to a sum of around, um, 10,000 pounds, Mr. Box?
19:23How much?
19:2520 years tax, 20 years national health contributions, penalties, my fees, etc, etc.
19:36Well, that's just an educated guess, a sort of round figure of what your final bill could arrive at.
19:43May not be as much.
19:48Listen.
19:53Can I, um, just think about it?
19:57You know, before we, um, start the ball rolling.
20:25Do you know what we're going on.
20:33Do you know what we're going on?
20:39Well, what's your first stuff about you?
20:40Do you know what you're supposed to do?
21:24Another brilliant idea up the shooter then, son?
21:26Yeah, looks like it, Tom.
21:28It's a bit unrealistic when you weigh it all up.
21:31And I've just fronted up to a situation I've been running away from for far too long.
21:35Hmm?
21:36Anyway, you finally did it.
21:38Mum's well chuffed.
21:39Yeah, yeah.
21:41And what's the score of you and Jan?
21:43Still a prospect?
21:44I shouldn't weigh on it, Tom.
21:46I mean, the way things are shaping up.
21:47Excuse me.
21:48It could be fatal.
21:56Samaritans?
21:57I know, Dick.
21:59Blowing hell.
22:00Yeah, I do it part-time.
22:01Yeah, well, tonight's a non-starter, I'm afraid.
22:04Well, you said it could make it tonight.
22:06Yeah, I know.
22:06But something very important's cropped up.
22:08What's so important?
22:09Eh?
22:11Well, if you must know, I'm taking my old mum and her intended out for a bit of a celebration.
22:17Well, what's cattling you tonight?
22:20Yeah, well, I'm sorry, mate.
22:21Yeah.
22:22Well, anyway, I'll see you.
22:23Yeah, good luck.
22:24Yeah, cheers.
22:25What's up with you, then?
22:27I had you in check.
22:29Well, that's what comes to making the old girl go weak at the knees, isn't it?
22:40Diamond and Son.
22:41Hello, Princess.
22:43You're sorry.
22:44Well, it's time you raised our credit limit anyway.
22:47Hmm.
22:48You know, I remember a time when your old man would never let the account go over 500 quid a
22:53month.
22:53He used to make us put the stop on it.
22:56He said he preferred it that way.
22:58He knew exactly where he was.
22:59Just a tin pot company then, Simon.
23:01I mean, the turnover's troubled since Dad died.
23:03Yeah.
23:05Oh, you have done well, Henry.
23:07But appearances can be deceptive.
23:09Oh, come on, Simon.
23:11Have I ever let you down?
23:13No.
23:14All right.
23:15I'll keep you supplied until the end of the month, but only until the end of this month.
23:19That's all I'm asking for.
23:20It's just a cash flow situation that will resolve itself next week.
23:24Yeah, well, we all have that little problem from time to time, don't we?
23:27I knew you'd understand, Simon.
23:29Thanks for looking in.
23:30Right.
23:31Hey, and give my regards to your good lady.
23:34She's well, I trust.
23:35Oh, yeah, she's fine.
23:36Oh, Henry, just a small favor.
23:39Hmm?
23:41Have you still got that nice little flat up in town?
23:45Yeah.
23:47Oh, yes, yes, I see.
23:49Just for tonight, you understand.
23:51You never know who you might bump into in hotels.
23:53No, quite.
23:55Well, I think that's lovely, Ron.
23:57I'll expect a check at the end of the month, then.
23:59Yes, of course.
23:59Make sure.
24:00Debbie as well.
24:00Oh, and...
24:01I must go.
24:02Thanks a lot for a run.
24:04Bye-bye.
24:04See you later.
24:05I'll send one of my drivers over tomorrow.
24:06Right.
24:07Bye-bye, Mr. Bonner.
24:08Goodbye.
24:13Morals of an alley cat.
24:17Any calls, Jen?
24:17Your wife rang again and asked for you to ring her back.
24:22She says it's urgent.
24:23It would be, wouldn't it?
24:27Come on, Robbie.
24:29Come on, Sally.
24:32Hi.
24:32Oh, it's beautiful.
24:36Oh, here you are, Irish.
24:38Here you are, Ferret.
24:39Joanie.
24:41Here we are.
24:42Right.
24:42A toast.
24:44A toast.
24:46To my old mum and Tommy,
24:49health, wealth,
24:51and all the happiness in the world.
24:53Here you are.
24:54Bye, Tommy.
24:56Bless you.
24:57I love you.
24:59I love you.
24:59I love you.
25:00Good old Tommy.
25:04Here, listen.
25:08Go and get sozled a pair of you.
25:10Jan, Debbie, come on.
25:12Come on, Harry.
25:14Come on, Harry.
25:15Come on, Harry.
25:15Come on, Harry.
25:16Come on, Harry.
25:18A pint of gin, tea, self.
25:20Oh, cherry.
25:21I should mind how you go with that muck, Debs.
25:23You're likely to catch something horrible.
25:25Yeah.
25:25Oh, you are horrible.
25:27Do you rise in Ferret?
25:28Not yet, darling.
25:29He's a bit young.
25:30When he grows a bit, I'm going to start training him.
25:32Oh, God.
25:34Hey, I wasn't good at...
25:35What?
25:36Whoops.
25:36Hello.
25:39Irish is looking a bit rough.
25:40Yeah, well, Geordie said he was going to run him back.
25:43Joni?
25:44Joni, you got them things in?
25:46I'm coming.
25:49I'll see you, too, right, honey.
25:51Come on, hurry up with them.
25:56She's quite taken with you.
25:57You reckon?
25:58What about you, then?
25:59Take it or leave it?
26:00Oh, yeah.
26:02Did you see the accountant?
26:04Yeah, I saw him.
26:06And?
26:07Later.
26:08Oh, Rob.
26:09Better hold it up, I'm afraid, right here.
26:11Yeah, keep it coming, babe.
26:12There you are.
26:14I mean, it's not every day your mum gets proposed to, is it?
26:17Yeah, my only sunshine.
26:19Thanks.
26:20You make me happy
26:22When skies are grey
26:25You'll never know, dear
26:28How much I love you
26:31Please don't take my sunshine away
26:36You'll never know, dear
26:38When I lay between me
26:41I knew that you were by my soul
26:46You know, you'll never know, dear
26:48Na, na, na, na, na
26:51You were saying, I said, I won
26:55You were going to live
27:02Oh, man
27:04Saving up again, Harry, shall you?
27:06Hold on a minute
27:09There we are
27:10Now, where's the bedroom?
27:14Here it is
27:15Now we can
27:19There we are, funny man
27:21Down you go
27:34You all right?
27:34Ah, don't fuss me, lad
27:36I'll be right as rain
27:39I'll be right, son
27:44Bye
27:45No wonder you like hanging around the bedding shop
27:50Thanks, son
27:52Turns for everything
27:53Oh, shut up
27:55Get some sleep
27:58Daft old bugger
28:01Well, that's what a man estimates
28:13It could be less
28:15I doubt it, no, my luck
28:21Oh, Rob
28:23What hope is there?
28:26Oh, come on
28:26It's not as bad as all that
28:28A little bit of the old lady luck
28:29I can rake it up in no time
28:31Robbie, please
28:34You're talking about £10,000
28:37Maybe more
28:37I know what I'm talking about, Princess
28:39There's only one way I'm going to get that sort of money
28:43Gambling
28:44What do you suggest I do?
28:46Rob a bank
28:47Do a bit of skull
28:49No
28:52If I sold this place
28:54We could perhaps go to Australia
28:55No, I don't want to talk about it anymore, okay?
29:03To the average guy
29:06Ten grand's a lifetime's work
29:08I go through that sort of dough in a couple of weeks
29:10That's just the problem
29:11I can do it
29:12I can do it my way
29:13Have a bit of faith, will you?
29:15Robbie, I don't have any option
29:25Listen
29:26I've got nearly two grand in my sky
29:29So we're off to a flying start, aren't we?
29:32Have you?
29:33I'm put to work in the right quarter
29:34Over the next couple of days
29:36Well, why don't you put some of it, say half of it
29:39In a bank
29:40Or a building society
29:41I haven't got a bank or a building society
29:43You could start an account
29:44I could do it for you
29:45I've got to have it
29:46I can put my hands on it
29:47I've got to make it work for me
29:49But it would be working for you
29:51Let me do it my way, Princess
29:55Trust me
30:06Sounds like it was a good night then, Vi
30:08Oh, it was
30:09Best I've had in years
30:11Sorry you couldn't come, love
30:12Yeah, ain't that the truth
30:14I wish I had, Vi
30:15I could have done with a good laugh
30:17I feel sick
30:20Serves you right
30:21Drank himself silly, the silly old son
30:23No, somebody slid me a mickey
30:26Any more tea in that pot?
30:28Yeah
30:28Here I am, love
30:29Oh
30:32There
30:34I've no idea when Rob will be back then
30:36Got more chance of being in the pools than guessing that
30:38You never know with Robby, love
30:40Oh, I feel horrible
30:43Here
30:44Who paid for all that wallop last night?
30:47You certainly didn't
30:49It was Robby
30:50Oh, well
30:52I'll have to square with him for that
30:55Talk of the devil
30:58Oh
30:59What's your sexpot?
30:59Hello, mate
31:00Hello, boy
31:01Want a cup of tea?
31:02Yeah, tell her, love
31:03Oh, come on
31:04Come to my back
31:05We'll walk round and get a paper, eh?
31:07We got one
31:08Oh, it's alive then
31:09Last time I saw someone look like you, Tom
31:11They were nailing the lid down
31:13Charming
31:14You never give up, do you?
31:27This is not a good idea, princess
31:31Look, Robby
31:31If our future is to rest on the turn of a card
31:34Or the spin of a wheel or whatever
31:35I'd at least like to watch
31:37This place is not exactly kosher
31:39It doesn't have a licence
31:41Oh
31:42So it's all right for you to go, but not me
31:45Come on, Rob
31:46I'm a big girl now
31:48Besides, it's high time you let me see how the other half lives
31:53You'll be bored, Steve
31:56What's the matter, gambling man?
31:57Are you worried I might cramp your style?
32:00Too much, you know
32:01Yeah, there you go
32:03Look, Robby
32:03It's my future, too
32:05Where you go, I go
32:07That's the new rules of the partnership
32:10If you lose
32:12I lose
32:37I lose
32:37I lose
32:38I lose
32:38I lose
32:39I lose
32:40I lose
32:40I lose
32:42I lose
32:45I told you I'd have to come, didn't I?
32:48Tom, I wish I was.
32:50Yeah.
33:02Here.
33:03Here, Tom.
33:04Next time I'm over there.
33:11It's rather nice in here, isn't it?
33:12Got a bit of top style, I'll say, yeah.
33:14Thanks for that, please.
33:19Evening.
33:20Evening.
33:20Come back for a little revenge?
33:22Well, maybe the cards will run for me tonight, eh?
33:24Yes, let's hope so.
33:25Mr. Carter.
33:27And this is Mr. Harland.
33:28A business partner, Mr. Box.
33:30Really?
33:31Oh, welcome to our little establishment, Mr. Box.
33:33And you, madam.
33:35Well, just order whatever drinks you want.
33:37Janice will look after you.
33:43If you'll excuse me.
33:44Mr. Betts.
33:44Duty calls.
33:47No, gin and tonic.
33:48Er, scotch and coke.
33:49He seems nice enough.
33:50Nothing for me.
33:53I like them.
33:56No, no, betts.
34:00Evening, gentlemen.
34:02Evening, you ready?
34:07Game is five cards.
34:09Draw poker.
34:12Full deck.
34:15Minimum sit-down money, 500 pounds.
34:19One pair, or better, to open.
34:22The ante gentleman is five pounds.
34:35First jack to deal.
34:40New sir.
34:44Yes, yes.
34:45Er, I like the answer.

35:05All right.
35:18And openers, please.
35:57Get your bags, please.
35:58Get your bags, please.
36:05No more bags.
36:07I don't like it, Mel.
36:08Stop your worrying.
36:10We should have closed down last week.
36:12This is just being greedy.
36:14I mean, look around again.
36:15I am, Hugh, I am.
36:17I see five grand clear on just tonight.
36:21Look at the faces, Mel.
36:23I mean, I don't know half of them.
36:25I mean, they're letting in people unvetted.
36:26It's madness.
36:27Stop it.
36:29Just two nights to go and then we'll close down and relax for a while.
36:33We can take that long holiday in Spain.
36:36That guy worries me.
36:38Everyone worries you, Hugh.
36:40Hmm.
36:40He is cool.
36:42I think he's the one that would close out.
36:45Do so, Hugh.
36:46Do so.
