00:05The
00:36According to Cousin Tell, the Three Colts up Tottenham Way was the latest in place for
00:40your North London cocktail set.
00:41Trouble with in places is they attract the in crowd.
00:45In Wormwood Scrubs, mainly.
01:03The Three Colts
01:04The Three Colts
01:09The Three Colts
01:29My business with Till's mate, Slippery, was Till's excuse for getting out from under the
01:35cosh that night. The other guy was Slippery's brother, Rodders. All very jolly, at first.
02:06It's your charm, Rodders. Here, do you reckon she fancies me, then?
02:10Oh, oh, no, no. A fish and chips.
02:37Yeah, Jim, I usually have a stripper now, then. She makes the tassels go in the opposite directions.
02:41Do you know what I mean? Hey, it's us.
02:46Hey, Jim, Till tells me you're after a bit of furniture, then.
02:48Yeah, that's right. What sort of money are you thinking of?
02:51Thirty quid, top weight. Gordon, Benny. You don't want me back teeth and all, do you?
02:56What's your mileage? One owner.
03:01Till was right. The aristocracy. Billy Begg. Relaxing between massacres.
03:09Just the sight of Billy Begg made people think of life insurance.
03:13In fact, to a lot of people, Mr. Begg was the insurance.
03:16He either paid his premiums, or the next noise you heard was six playful King Kongs turning your nice little
03:21establishment into Casa del Champ.
03:35Jim, Jim. Keep my room. Do you know him, do you?
03:39Know him? Only the bastard that crippled Jim's old man, ain't he?
03:41Yeah, the word has it, it's got me down for the wheelchair Olympics and all.
03:44Yeah, go on.
03:48Well, look, I think we'd better...
03:51It's time we made a move, Till.
03:52Well, do what? Don't be a mutter.
03:54Go on, come on.
03:58They're letting a filth in here now, then, are they?
04:01Come on, Till.
04:02Listen, I've done two years bird because of you, copper.
04:05Yeah, and my old man walks funny because of you I walk, now that makes us even.
04:08Yeah, well, two years wasn't long enough, you bleeding animal.
04:10Keith.
04:11It's personal, Billy.
04:12Not when I'm having a few quiet drinks.
04:14Put this bloody head off.
04:16Shut up, Keith.
04:18I expect you'll find another pub.
04:20Oh, yeah, well, we ain't running because of him, John.
04:28No.
04:29Not because of him.
04:33Because of me.
04:37All right.
04:44We was, uh, just going anyway.
04:49You let Till know about that other business, will you?
04:51Come on, Till.
04:52Come on.
04:52Come on, Till.
04:54All right.
04:55Drink up.
04:56Next round's on key.
04:58But what the hell are we doing a runner for?
04:59You heard, Mr. Begg.
05:00Oh, he gives you your oldest, does he?
05:02Look, Mr. Begg is what we in a trade call a gangster.
05:05You know, he feels underdressed without what we in a trade call a shooter.
05:07I am what we in a trade call anxious to stay alive.
05:16We'll never get a chance again like that.
05:18And once we do him, that's it.
05:20He stays done.
05:21Tell.
05:21Tell.
05:22Give it a rest a minute.
05:23Look.
05:24How long's you been out there, Nick?
05:25A couple of weeks.
05:26Now, give him another fortnight, he'll forget all about me.
05:28Shit.
05:29But it ain't only you, is it?
05:36Look who's here, Fred.
05:39Fred?
05:40Gladys, I was watching that.
05:42Emma's lost 3-0.
05:43Not worth watching, mate.
05:45You've lost weight, son.
05:46Hasn't he lost weight, Fred?
05:49Are you all right then, Fred?
05:51Are you all right then, Fred?
05:52Can you smoke me?
05:54Oh, let me come round because the boozer's shut.
05:59Is that it?
06:02Yeah, I'll cook.
06:02I'll give him.
06:03I need the exercise.
06:05What is it with you, eh, you miserable old bleeder?
06:07You get all knocked when I don't come round and when I do all you manage is a snarl.
06:10Now, don't start all that again, you two.
06:13Coming in here, breathing all strong.
06:16You only come round to see your mother once every pancake day.
06:19Is that any way to treat your favourite son?
06:21Tom?
06:21Our only bleeding son.
06:23Uh, yeah.
06:23Have you got any of your beer to go with the spirit, Claire?
06:26What is this new job of yours?
06:28Come on, Claire.
06:28He's getting cut.
06:29It's like an inquiry agent, love, you know?
06:31Bit of debt collecting and that.
06:41We, uh, just had a run in with an old friend.
06:44Oh, yeah?
06:45Key for a rope.
06:47Oh, but that was nice for you.
06:49Yeah.
06:49Well, he could be bothered, mate.
06:52Well, he can't do much more to me, can he?
06:53Yeah, well, it's not just you, is it?
06:55It's Mum.
06:57Well, he ain't that much for another, surely.
06:59Look, we've seen him, I'm telling you.
07:00Look, do yourself a favor.
07:02Be careful who you open the door to us.
07:05Tell says you're a private detective.
07:07Isn't that kind of work a bit risky?
07:09Yeah.
07:10Risk of not getting paid.
07:11Yeah.

07:15Who's coming to the door, Jimmy?
07:17No one, Claire.

15:31Mr. Dornford.
15:32What's it about?
15:33An accountant.
15:34Gresham's office equipment.
15:35He's not here anymore.
15:36Well, could you...
16:01Sirly beggars.
16:02Perhaps you're deaf.
16:03Well, could you tell me where I might get older, Mr. Dornford?
16:05He comes in occasionally to collect his mail.
16:07A right to him.
16:08Now, unfashionable as it may seem, I have work to do.
16:11Well, the trouble is that he doesn't seem to be answering his letters.
16:14Postage rates are very high these days.
16:25Don't think people are after that scoundrel.
16:27Maybe less than polite, I think.
16:30He swindled me, too, you know.
16:32I bought these agencies from him.
16:41So, uh, you'd be legally responsible for his company's debts?
16:46Yeah, there was a time we talked of moral responsibility.
16:50You're too young to remember, Mr....
16:52James Hazel.
16:53Now, he had, uh...
16:54People wanted to work, Mr. Hazel.
16:56Now, corruption, laziness, cynicism.
16:59I often ask myself if we had to fight the Battle of Britain all over again.
17:04Oh, these long-haired layabouts.
17:07When I think of all the top-class chaps I saw dying round me in the desert.
17:12A great nation spinning its blood.
17:15Yeah.
17:15I'm a bit patriotic myself.
17:17Wouldn't even have German measles.
17:22Well, look, if you, uh, if you own the company, then...
17:25Oh, I bought only the goodwill.
17:27Oh, the ill will, as it transpired.
17:31Somebody's got to pay, Mr....
17:32In the telfer.
17:33I'm office on the hotel.
17:34Well, can you tell me where I might get hold of Mr. Doomford?
17:37Now, he does come in here, you say.
17:38We never know when.
17:41Next time I'll get his address out of him.
17:44Tell you what, give me your business card and I'll write to you.
17:46Best I can do, I'm afraid.
17:49It's not much fun at my age.
17:52Life savings tied up in deaf businesses.
17:55Trying to compete with all these dusky devils.
17:59Have you a card?
18:02I, uh...
18:02I'll ring you, Mr. Telfer.
18:10Ah!
18:12You're in business.
18:13If that's the correct term.
18:16You'll take on my cause if I'm out, won't you, sweetheart?
18:18Deal with all your little popsies?
18:20Well, if it is a popsy, tell her, uh, I deny everything.
18:25Uh, oh, yeah.
18:26If it's a popsy with a deep, gruff voice.
18:28Name of Kifo Rube.
18:30You never heard of me, right?
18:31I'm dying to meet all your friends.
18:34Yeah, well, you meet this one, blue eyes, and your dreams may come true.
18:37No, straight up.
18:38Never heard of me.
18:39No address.
18:40Nothing.
18:41How do I know when you're being serious?
18:44Anything to do with Kifo Rube is serious.
18:48Now, you sitting comfortably?
18:53Then I'll begin.
18:56Kifo Rube was involved in a betting shop, Blake.
18:58A what?
18:59Robbery.
19:01Now, my old man was a manager of that betting shop.
19:04Now, being of the old school, he remonstrated.
19:06They, being of the modern school, press their point with a pickaxe handle.
19:10He's still on sticks.
19:13So, Kifo Rube gets himself sent down for another job.
19:17But he thinks I've stitched him up.
19:19Framed him.
19:20So, having paid his debt to society, he might just consider that I've got a debt to pay.
19:26So, no phone calls.
19:29You all right?
19:30Teddy?
19:49I'm just taking Dot out for a drink.
19:52Very nice.
19:55How about you?
19:58Actually, I'm into milk.
20:08Ooh.

20:13Mr. Dornford doesn't live there any more.
20:15Newgeyser's getting me his address.
20:17Newgeyser?
20:17Yeah.
20:18Mr. Chalfer.
20:20Uh-huh.

20:29Oh, you've met him, have you?
20:31Yeah.
20:32But I've met Mr. Dornford.
20:35Oh, no.

24:43Asking Chuck Minty for a favour came a bit hard.
24:47Cops tend to be suspicious about cops who don't wait for the pension.
24:50Minty was suspicious of the old human race.
24:52Any favour I got from him would have a price.
25:04It's more fun than the D-pan.
25:06I'll race you.
25:07You'll go to any lengths.
25:31Breathing beauty who never got wet, eh?
26:00I'm out of rock.
26:02I made a few inquiries.
26:04Thanks.
26:06I'm not a charity.
26:10I'll pay for your air drive.
26:13What's new with your big lawyer friend, Gregory?
26:16Forget it.
26:18Anyways, villains you're supposed to be after.
26:20Villains are honest by comparison.
26:23I make good money from Gregory.
26:25That's my interest, Jim.
26:27O'Rourke's been hanging around with Billy Beck.
26:29Begg's lying, isn't it?
26:31Needs hooligans.
26:33What do you got in mind for O'Rourke?
26:36Just a quiet chat.
26:38I don't care if you cripple him.
26:40I have that in writing.
26:43His wife moved up to Walthamstow while he was inside a new flat.
26:48Who's paying for it?
26:49I don't know.
26:51Got the address in my jacket pocket.
26:54Can we go and get it, then?
26:55Well, I'm finished.
26:57I've got a strict schedule.
26:59Twenty-lane delivery lunchtime.
27:05Funnily enough, the commissioner was saying only yesterday.
27:09You're a first-class crawler.
27:26A quiet chat.
27:29That's all I had in mind for O'Rourke.
27:31After all, what had he done?
27:34Crippled my old man?
27:35Broke me his walking sticks?
27:38Terrified my mum?
27:39He was entitled to a bit of a chat, wasn't he?
27:58Keith coming out to play.
28:00Keith doesn't live here anymore.
28:02Who are you?
28:03James Hazel.
28:04You, his, uh, wife.
28:06We're not together anymore.
28:09Hazel, the copper?
28:10Yeah, well, me and the force ain't together anymore.
28:14Are you sure Keith's, uh, not here?
28:17Look, I've told you.
28:18We're not together anymore.
28:20Yeah.
28:22Last place you got here.
28:23We'll pay for, is it?
28:24Look, if you want a conversation,
28:25why don't you try the lady down at number 40?
28:27Because I'd rather try you.
28:29I'm busy.
28:30I can see that.
28:31Ironing.
28:32Yeah, I thought you looked a bit steamy.
28:34But why don't you sod off?
28:36There you are.
28:36You see now, we are having a conversation.
28:38Look, you've done your loyal bit.
28:39Why don't you just...
28:40What's going wrong, Jim?
28:42What's Keith?
28:46Don't I know you?
28:48My name's Billy Beck.
28:50Billy Beck.
28:51We met socially the other night
28:52in the boozer up Chotland.
28:54Oh, yeah.
28:56You're the fella with the bird's name.
28:58Hazel, isn't it?
29:00Keith was going to give you a clumping.
29:01I mean, you've got a bit of a nerve turning up here.
29:06Well, I was giving this address for Keith.
29:09Mr. Beck's only on a visit.
29:12That's right.
29:14Just a visit.
29:16Yeah, well, look, I won't bother you any longer, eh?
29:19Um, of course,
29:20if you wanted to have a chat for Keith,
29:25you know we're a bee, don't you?
29:27Oh, no, as it ams.
29:29It's funny how a good-looking barmaid
29:31attracts the punters even after hours, isn't it?
29:34Gotcha.
29:35Of course, you won't bring my name into it, will you?
29:37No, of course.
29:38And you won't go around making any more trouble, will you?
29:49That's right.
29:50Yep.
29:51Billy Beck.
29:52So now we know who paid for the nice new flat, don't we?
29:58No, no, of course you didn't know.
30:00That's why you sent me around there, you Scotch bastard.
30:12The point being,
30:13what was Mr. Beck sending me into?
30:16Still, when in doubt,
30:18go in,
30:19mob Andy.
30:27What time's this with Didney Raven in the afternoons, hasn't it?
30:30Just a quiet drink
30:31and a blimp with the barmaid.
30:33What time's this with didney Raven in the afternoons?
30:55What time's this with didney Raven?
31:03This sh times he could do my first Brunk
31:13What a shot.
31:14The friends that keep my law firm wings.
31:16Bad enough you wanting after us without telling your bloody friends.
31:20No.
31:23There you are, kids.
31:25Always say it's better when it's illegal, I always say.
31:28For you.
31:28Look, mate, I'm not running open house for his friends.
31:31There's no friends of mine.
31:32No friends.
31:34New fighting social calls on my mum and dad.
31:37Yeah, well, we all get a bit of an uptown again, don't we?
31:39Look, maybe I can get you something, eh?
31:45Don't want the law out here causing trouble, John, do we?
31:52Ah!
32:21First and break, these pigs!
32:22and then you break your sticks.
32:24Now, I want you to promise me something, Keith.
32:27Can you hear me?
32:29You come near any of us ever again.
32:54All right, Friday, I have a talk.
32:56Great.
32:58Not good.
33:03He never was no beauty, but now...
33:20Here, we'll have a good drink now, eh?
33:22You deserve it.
33:24I've got a living to make.
33:29You've changed, Jim, Jim.
33:30You know that.
33:34You done threw it at me back, didn't you, then?
33:35Eh?
33:40Sure?
33:40Well...
34:20Now, let's be British about this, Mr. Dornford.
34:23My name's Telfer.
34:24Yeah, and mine's Lawrence of Dagenham.
34:26How did you think you were going to get away with it?
34:28When you're desperate.
34:31Do the old-fashioned thing, eh? Pay your debt.
34:34If only I could. Business is abominable.
34:37What, for a lousy 211 quid?
34:39What was all that crap about moral responsibility?
34:42There was a time when I would have worried about my name and reputation.
34:46Now, I've outlived everyone who knew my name.
34:49Look, let's cut out all this dying in the desert rubbish, shall we?
34:52Yes. Just history to you, isn't it?
34:56Ah, well.
34:56Well, my daily entitlement.
35:00All my own fault, of course.
35:02Pure ego.
35:04Refusing to admit my day is over.
35:07Go on, take it.
35:11Right.
35:12Can we talk about the balance?
35:14Yes.
35:15I dare say yours is the appropriate attitude for these times.
35:19In a way, I'm not sorry to be bowing out.
35:22I'm just trying to earn a living.
35:24Yes.
35:24Hounding a futile old man who's happened to fall behind with a few payments.
35:29Fall behind?
35:29You haven't even gotten to start this orders yet?
35:31Of course, we could break into a little nest egg my wife and I have tucked away.
35:37Could be very bleak and cold at our age.
35:40Is that what you want?
35:42Your people have a turnover running into hundreds of thousands.
35:46They should never have encouraged an old man to get into debt.
35:53Oh, my God.
36:03Well, I suggest you get on with it.
36:07Get on with what?
36:08The rough stuff.
36:10That's your game, isn't it?
36:13Come on, Mr. Hazel.
36:15I don't imagine a man of my age will give you much trouble.
36:19You mean you want me to, ain't you?
36:21That's what they pay you for, isn't it?
36:25Oh, balls.
36:39Mr. Hazel, a man in your game.
36:42How are you offering insurance?
36:55Well?
36:57It's a nice office you've got.
36:59What happens when it rains?
37:03It's a silly question.
37:05Well?
37:09I'm, uh...
37:10I've not got the stomach for this sort of thing.
37:15Didn't you like your jokes?
37:17Yeah, especially the one about till debt do us part.
37:20Huh.
37:21No, I didn't get a quid from it.
37:23Congratulations.
37:25You've earned yourself 20p.
37:30Look, he's an old geezer living in some dream world about the war.
37:33Now, what do you want me to do?
37:34Kick it out of him?
37:36I mean, if that's what you want, I should send in the mad axe man.
37:42Did he have a sick wife?
37:44Well, he didn't say she was sick.
37:54Well, there's no point in this.
37:56I mean, I've talked to him.
37:58What the fuck are you talking about?
38:03Mr. Darnford?
38:06You've met our Mr. Hazel, I believe.
38:09May we come in?
38:24Virginia Ray.
38:26Gresham's have asked me to handle your account.
38:28I've already told Mr. Hazel.
38:30Mr. Hazel is still learning our business.
38:33Now then, Mr. Dawnford.
38:35You owe 211 pounds.
38:38I'm afraid the company isn't prepared to wait any longer.
38:41They can sue me.
38:42Bad, Max.
38:45Be quiet, Max.
38:49The company gave you every chance.
38:51I've explained the position to Mr. Hazel.
38:55However, I suppose I could make some proposal.
38:58Sorry.
38:59I'm instructed to collect the full amount.
39:00Oh, my dear young lady.
39:02You told Mr. Hazel your name was Telfer, I believe.
39:05Sounds like false pretenses, doesn't it?
39:07I appeal to you as a man of reason.
39:09We all know how appealing you are, Mr. Dawnford.
39:13Sit, Max.
39:16This is intimidation.
39:19Oh, no, Mr. Dawnford.
39:21It has to be a lot worse before it's intimidation.
39:41To cash, please.
39:46You forgot the date.
39:48Oh, so I did.
39:50Terrible thing, old age.
39:52Some wear it better than others.
39:56When Mr. Hazel brings back the cash,
40:00I'll give you a receipt.
40:07Don't be long.
40:09Max is getting bored.
40:14Where's the dog?
40:15He's in the car.
40:17Chewing on a pedestrian, is he?
40:20Scotch and soda, please.
40:26Nice little cinema foyer you have here.
40:29How can you afford it on what you own?
40:31Don't I get my cut then?
40:33With all my help.
40:36I should have known.
40:39Just a great big boy at heart.
40:49What happened to your face?
40:52Three rounds with a maddened guppy.
40:55I thought perhaps Dawnford might have worked you over
40:57with a rolled-up holiday brochure.
40:59Yeah.
41:00Yeah, all right.
41:00So I'm inexperienced.
41:01I'll get better.
41:03Can't wait.
41:06Excuse me a moment, will you?
41:29Yes, it's right.
41:44Who was it?
41:45Oh, the exchange.
41:46Some query about your account.
41:49I told them you were in the bath.
41:50Cheers.
41:53Do you live here alone?
41:56Just, uh, me and my tropicals.
41:59I think it's about time you had a grown-up, Bobby.
42:01Well, now that depends on what you'd call a...
42:05What query about the account?
42:07Oh, just verifying the address.
42:09And you told them?
42:11Yes.
42:12They asked for me by name.
42:13Hmm.
42:15Are you famous?
42:16Just tell me, exactly.
42:17What do they say?
42:18Were you in?
42:19Yes, I said, in the bath.
42:21Oh, they said,
42:22would I mind verifying the address for the account?
42:25By all means, I said.
42:28What's the problem?
42:30Two problems.
42:31One, even the GPO don't worry about the accounts at this time of night.
42:34And two, the account ain't in my name.
42:35Now, you better drink your drink because we're going.
42:37Why?
42:38I think an old friend is planning a surprise visit.
42:40Doesn't he know you started with girls?
42:42Yeah, well, he's not that sort of friend.
42:44I've seen them all visit.
42:45Yeah, something like that.
42:48Son it.
42:52Get in the bedroom.
42:53God's sake, don't speak a word.
42:55Are you sure you haven't been on your own?
42:56Just get in there, will you?
43:22Yeah.
43:22Yeah.
43:22This, uh, Keith, I'm wrong here, just passing,
43:24but I've no chance of a drink, I suppose.
43:27A bit late, really, isn't it?
43:29Well, I'd like a chance.
43:32I'm in me kip.
43:33Well, that's going to make me a bit noisy sleepy
43:34while I smashing the door down, isn't it?
43:37Us?
43:38Yeah, I've got a little friend that you've got to make.
43:41Another time, eh?
43:44Nah, naughty, naughty.
43:45Come up with a dog and aggravate the neighbours now, do we?
43:49Yeah.
43:51All right, Keith.
43:53Why not?
43:54Hang about.
43:58Get down behind the sofa.
44:00Don't even breathe.
44:15Any chance of getting a bit of light on the subject down here, then, Jim?
44:19Okay.
