00:04:02Yes, they're right. Take them into Mr. Beaumont-Flower.
00:04:09Police. Quick. We've been wrong.
00:04:13So I opened the safe and that's all I remember.
00:04:17They must have hit me from behind.
00:04:19Didn't it occur to you, Mr. Beaumont, to check the man's credentials?
00:04:23Well, Inspector, he showed me a pass. It looked official enough.
00:04:26Ah, of course.
00:04:28Found the car, sir. Abandoned about a quarter of a mile away.
00:04:31Rigged up to look like a police job.
00:04:33Uh-huh. Probably stolen. Check later.
00:04:35Mr. Beaumont, you've given us a general description that could fit anybody.
00:04:38Was there nothing distinctive about the two men?
00:04:42No, nothing. They just looked ordinary, like most policemen.
00:04:45That's a great help.
00:04:46I'm sorry, Inspector, but all I can remember at the moment is this bank's been robbed of about 2,000
00:04:51pounds.
00:04:52You're insured, aren't you?
00:04:54What about you, Mr. Hoskins?
00:04:55It all happened so quickly, Inspector.
00:04:59If you had a photograph or something...
00:05:00Well, you can run through our rogue's gallery at the yard later, if you like.
00:05:03I doubt you'll recognize him.
00:05:05I only saw them from a distance, Inspector, but I'm sure the younger one had a black moustache.
00:05:08Yes, that's right. And he wasn't black. He was a sort of gingery colour.
00:05:11Ah, gentlemen. It doesn't matter what the colour was. By now, he won't have a moustache anyway.
00:05:22Got rid of the uniform, Eddie?
00:05:24Yep. Painted like the man said.
00:05:25That's 1,968 pounds altogether.
00:05:2868 quid. That'll cover expenses. Agreed?
00:05:30Yeah.
00:05:32300 apiece.
00:05:39It's all there, Vince.
00:05:42Don't you trust me?
00:05:46That's it, then. A really beautiful job, eh, Vince?
00:05:49Yeah. And 300's not enough to show for it.
00:05:52If you're thinking of splitting this, forget it.
00:05:54We agreed to put 1,000 aside for the Citibank job.
00:05:57Capital investment.
00:05:58I know that, but when?
00:06:01When Phil Bowman gets out.
00:06:03Don't be so impatient.
00:06:05I've waited four years.
00:06:08Another three days won't hurt any of us.
00:06:10But, um, why wait for Bowman now we've got the capital?
00:06:14That's right.
00:06:15We could pull it ourselves.
00:06:16Look at the way today's job went.
00:06:18Not a hitch.
00:06:19Now, listen.
00:06:20What we pulled today was kid stuff.
00:06:22The Citibank job will be one of the biggest ever.
00:06:26One of the finest cracksmen this country ever produced
00:06:28who's tried his hand at the Citibank.
00:06:30Seven years ago.
00:06:31He's still doing time.
00:06:33Nobody's tried since.
00:06:35Oh, Bowman was going to, but, uh,
00:06:37the police picked him up for another job before he could get started.
00:06:41Well, perhaps he won't want to try it now.
00:06:43He will.
00:06:44Phil's professional.
00:06:46You youngsters wouldn't understand what that means.
00:06:48But if anybody can get in the Citibank in a way with a hundred thousand,
00:06:52it's Phil Bowman.
00:06:56What's new?
00:06:57There's a report from the lab boys, sir, on the Beecher Street bank robbery.
00:06:59Mm-hmm.
00:07:00They found all the sawdust on the tires and the axle,
00:07:02and they think whoever put the police sign on the car
00:07:05didn't use a brace and bit to make the holes,
00:07:06but a panel punch.
00:07:11Their guess is the car was rigged up on a carpenter shop on a timber yard.
00:07:16In the hills?
00:07:17No, sir.
00:07:19Did those three bank employees go through our records?
00:07:22Yes, sir.
00:07:23No luck, I'm afraid.
00:07:27Mr. Bowman thought he recognized a man.
00:07:29Mm-hmm.
00:07:30Turned out to be Charlie Reed.
00:07:31He's inside, serving ten years for manslaughter.
00:07:34Oh, brilliant.
00:07:35Dead end, sir.
00:07:36The case is never dead, sergeant.
00:07:39There's always the informer.
00:07:41I'll put some feelers out on Saturday.
00:07:43We should be hearing.
00:07:46Ah, Bowman's hurt, is he?
00:07:48Who, sir?
00:07:49Philip Bowman.
00:07:50Do I have to explain everything?
00:07:52Philip Bowman's an expert in bank robberies,
00:07:54one of the biggest in the country.
00:07:56We could only ever pin one thing on him.
00:08:16That's a lie, Keith.
00:08:17Let's go.
00:08:43Ruth.
00:08:55Oh, I didn't expect you for hours yet, but I wanted the whole place to be ready.
00:09:00I must look a mess.
00:09:02You look marvelous.
00:09:03It's obvious you haven't seen a woman for some time.
00:09:07How are you, Philip?
00:09:10Older.
00:09:12Me too.
00:09:15Well, I'd better...
00:09:18You'd better talk to me while I change.
00:09:27Well, where are you working?
00:09:29Still at the Empire Insurance.
00:09:32You like working legit?
00:09:34Never mind.
00:09:35It's a living.
00:09:37It is. I'm going gray.
00:09:40On you, it's becoming, darling.
00:09:44Oh, yours, I hope.
00:09:49Sorry, Philip. I didn't have time to move all my things.
00:09:53By the way, I haven't thanked you for letting me stay here all this time.
00:09:57You did me a favor living here.
00:09:59Oh, and the money.
00:10:00I don't know what I'd have done.
00:10:02Now, stop it.
00:10:04Well, you needn't.
00:10:06You don't owe me anything.
00:10:12Bye.
00:10:22Beater Street
00:10:23Frank in here.
00:10:24Told out here, Inspector.
00:10:25You wanted me?
00:10:26Uh-huh.
00:10:27Do you know anything about the Beacher street bank job?
00:10:30No.
00:10:31Can you find out?
00:10:32How much?
00:10:33Oh, the usual.
00:10:34Double if it's a name.
00:10:36Got any leads?
00:10:37There were three men.
00:10:39One driver and two inside.
00:10:41The younger inside man had a moustache at the time.
00:10:44Oh, there might be some connection with a carpenter shop or timber yard.
00:10:48All right.
00:10:48I'll ring you.
00:10:53Oh, it's a wonderful dinner, Mabel.
00:10:57Mabel.
00:10:59Yeah, dinner's proud.
00:11:00He's always like this when he's had a good meal.
00:11:03Come on, Ruth. Let's stack the dishes.
00:11:05I think the geniuses want to talk business.
00:11:11Well, a spot of brandy, I think.
00:11:15Well, you always knew how to look after yourself, Joe.
00:11:18Life's short. What else is there?
00:11:22I suppose you'll be getting back into harness soon.
00:11:25I haven't made up my mind yet.
00:11:27I need a few weeks to pick up the threads.
00:11:30Why?
00:11:31Oh, thought we might do a job together.
00:11:34I'm listening.
00:11:36Citibank?
00:11:39A plan of yours.
00:11:40Is it still good?
00:11:43Well, basically, yes.
00:11:46A few details need rechecking, of course.
00:11:49Oh, but, Joe.
00:11:52This is big.
00:11:53Even if I were interested, it'd take a hell of a lot of organizing.
00:11:56And money.
00:11:57I've got the men and the money.
00:11:59I want you to do the organizing.
00:12:01What do you say, boy?
00:12:04Oh, I don't think so.
00:12:05Well, why not?
00:12:07Oh, I've got enough money put away now.
00:12:09I thought I'd settle down.
00:12:11You can settle down when you're dead.
00:12:15I'm getting older, Joe.
00:12:17I've been inside for four years.
00:12:22I don't know whether I'm still up to pulling a job like the Citibank.
00:12:26Of course you are.
00:12:28Besides, I'm older than you.
00:12:29Now, you're different.
00:12:29You enjoy this work.
00:12:30I don't.
00:12:31To me, it's just a job.
00:12:32I get no kick out of it.
00:12:36So, I could buy that plan of yours and get some of the boys in.
00:12:41But I don't think we could pull it off without you.
00:12:44Make it your last job and go out with a bang.
00:12:49I must admit, I'm tempted.
00:12:54Did it take a lot to set up?
00:12:55I've got a thousand pounds set aside from a recent job.
00:12:58Not enough. Need at least 1,500.
00:12:59I'll raise another 250.
00:13:08All right.
00:13:09Count me in for the same.
00:13:11You'll do it?
00:13:13To my swan song.
00:13:22Does this place make money?
00:13:23According to the books, it does.
00:13:25That's a way to make crime pay.
00:13:26Get a good account of them.
00:13:27Eddie, Vince, come up, will you?
00:13:32Are you sure about these two?
00:13:34Yes, green, but the best available at the moment.
00:13:38Eddie Holden, Vince Clayton, Bill Burden.
00:13:40How do you do?
00:13:41Oh, hi.
00:13:42The job's on.
00:13:44Phil's in charge.
00:13:45Well, this is a big one.
00:13:47It'll have to be planned like a military operation.
00:13:50With any luck, the haul will be over 100,000.
00:13:55Of course, the notes will be new, so we'll have to go through a fence.
00:13:59We ought to clear about 60,000 on the deal.
00:14:02That's enough for yours truly.
00:14:05Joe and I take a couple of thousand off the top.
00:14:07Anyone else we bring in we pay a flat fee, and the rest we carve four ways.
00:14:10Why are you taking an extra 2,000?
00:14:13Well, we're the biggest shareholders.
00:14:14We're putting in an extra 250 apiece.
00:14:17It's the usual business practice.
00:14:19When do we start?
00:14:21Right away.
00:14:23Now, tonight, when the streets are quiet, I want you to time the quickest journey a police car can make
00:14:27between Cloak Lane Police Station and the city bank.
00:14:31Right.
00:14:32Vince, you watch the street outside the bank every morning between 5.30 and 6.30.
00:14:36Keep a diary of the exact time everyone appears.
00:14:39Milkman, water carts, police patrols are locked.
00:14:41Okay?
00:14:42Right.
00:14:42Joe, barbed wire.
00:14:43Have you got it?
00:14:44Sure.
00:14:45Right.
00:14:46Now.
00:14:56Half an inch exactly, Joe.
00:15:00That's six feet to the outside edge of the bank.
00:15:07Three inches.
00:15:09Four foot six.
00:15:12Ten foot six inches to the center of the storeroom.
00:15:14Perfect.
00:15:16Four.
00:15:19Eight.
00:15:22Ten foot six.
00:15:30Yeah, this'll do fine.
00:15:31Got it for a song.
00:15:33Cairns and Regan to see you, Phil.
00:15:34Oh, yeah.
00:15:35Hello, Paddy.
00:15:36How's the missus?
00:15:37Fine.
00:15:38It's okay?
00:15:38We've been told you wanted to see us.
00:15:41Yeah, that's right.
00:15:41I'd like to use you on a job if you're free.
00:15:43What's the job and how much?
00:15:45Bank's crew.
00:15:45You'll be the outside man.
00:15:47We're paying a flat fee.
00:15:47Three-fifty apiece.
00:15:48Guaranteed win or lose.
00:15:51Well, that's big money just for an outside job, Phil.
00:15:53It's a big job.
00:15:54We want the best.
00:15:55Are you in?
00:15:58Yeah.
00:16:06It's a big deal.
00:16:06Any change?
00:16:07No.
00:16:07Still the same routine.
00:16:08Just the one watchman and he punches the clock outside the vault at eight, twelve and four o'clock.
00:16:12Right.
00:16:13He'll be easy.
00:16:14Yeah.
00:16:14Once we get in.
00:16:15Headache.
00:16:16Any professional will tell you it's easy to get into most banks.
00:16:19The real problem is getting out.
00:16:21However, nothing about the city bank is easy.
00:16:25All doors and windows are wired.
00:16:28Impossible to get in by the roof or from the next building.
00:16:31Others have tried, but I think I've solved it.
00:16:34Now, we have one advantage.
00:16:36They think it's burglar proof, so there's only one night watchman on duty.
00:16:43Now, this is the vault door.
00:16:45And we'll have to cut through it because an explosion might just set off the alarm.
00:16:49The money's kept in the wall safe.
00:16:51Here.
00:16:52This is it.
00:16:55It shouldn't give me too much trouble.
00:16:57I know half a dozen blokes who could crack it, if they could get inside the building.
00:17:02Now, there's just one snag.
00:17:05We can only open that safe by blowing it.
00:17:07And the moment we blow it, nothing can stop the alarm going off in Cloak Lane Police Station.
00:17:12Now, we know from Eddie's timings it'll take them two minutes fifty seconds to get to the city bank.
00:17:18Cairns and Regan's job will delay them by twenty seconds.
00:17:21And I have another little surprise that'll give us another fifteen seconds.
00:17:26So, we have exactly three minutes twenty-five seconds to blow the safe and get away with a hundred thousand.
00:17:34Well, here's luck.
00:17:39You're doing another job, aren't you, Phil?
00:17:41I know the signs by now.
00:17:43Must you? You know what it does to me.
00:17:47It's the way I make a living.
00:17:49Hello, Bowman.
00:17:53Hi, Inspector. Surprise, surprise.
00:17:56Uh, Ruth, this is Inspector Rankin.
00:17:59And, uh...
00:18:00Sergeant Condor. Richard Condor.
00:18:03Well, it's been years, Inspector.
00:18:05All right. Four.
00:18:06I heard you were out. What are you doing now?
00:18:09Nothing. I've retired.
00:18:11I wish I could have retired at forty.
00:18:13Thirty-eight, Inspector.
00:18:16Forty, according to our records.
00:18:18Let me buy you a drink.
00:18:19Whiskey, isn't it?
00:18:21That's it.
00:18:22And, uh, same for you, Sergeant?
00:18:23Thanks.
00:18:24Oh, same again for my friends.
00:18:27Right, Phil.
00:18:30I'm sorry we can't join you. We've got a show to catch.
00:18:33Well, I'll buy my own.
00:18:33No, no, no. It's my round. After all, I earn more than you do.
00:18:38I'll see you sometime.
00:18:43Psychopath.
00:18:51Tia!
00:18:52Right.
00:18:54Come and get it.
00:19:01Yeah.
00:19:01Phil decided a time yet for us two?
00:19:03Yeah. Quarter past six.
00:19:04Eh?
00:19:05Well, what about the police patrol?
00:19:07No, they're always clear by. Seven or eight minutes past.
00:19:09Should do it before they come through, then?
00:19:11No, the milk van's there, then.
00:19:14How'd it go that time?
00:19:16Oh, much better.
00:19:18Three minutes, twenty-five seconds.
00:19:19We've got to get it down three-ten.
00:19:22Oh, yes, Eddie. And, uh, once we're on the job,
00:19:24you'd better make sure you can't be recognized.
00:19:26Yeah, sure.
00:19:27Hey, Phil.
00:19:29You know, um, I think it'd be better if Joe was on my left.
00:19:32I think I could work it faster that way.
00:19:34Yeah, all right. Try it.
00:19:36Oh, and, uh, wear gloves next time.
00:19:39You'll be wearing them on the night.
00:19:47What's worrying you, Joe?
00:19:49The vault door. Is there anything we haven't checked?
00:19:51Forget it. I told you I had it checked when the safe was photographed.
00:19:56Look, he supplied the inside dope on every job I've ever done.
00:20:00If he says there's no alarm, then there isn't.
00:20:02Come on.
00:20:05Oh, uh, by the way, she said yes.
00:20:09Hmm?
00:20:11Ruth, we're gonna get married.
00:20:13That's great, Phil. When?
00:20:15Friday.
00:20:17We're, uh, honeymooning in France.
00:20:19France?
00:20:21Then it's...
00:20:22Thursday night.
00:20:24Well, if we leave it any longer, someone's bound to blab.
00:20:26We'll tell the others later.
00:20:28Needs more wire around that, doesn't it?
00:20:29Hmm.
00:20:50Well, is everyone clear on all the details?
00:20:52Yes, sure.
00:20:53Right.
00:20:53All back here at 5.30.
00:20:55Us, too?
00:20:56Hmm?
00:20:56Oh, yes.
00:20:57I want you to stay the night here, you two.
00:20:59I'd, uh, hate you to have an accident.
00:21:01Or get picked up for some other job you've done.
00:21:05Uh, remember, Vince, no talking at all once we're on the job.
00:21:09Keep all noise down to a minimum.
00:21:10Mm-hmm.
00:21:11And we stop work five minutes before the night watchman punches his clock
00:21:14till five minutes after he's got.
00:21:15Okay.
00:21:16Right.
00:21:20Well, give it up for my sake, then.
00:21:22I can't.
00:21:23We're going to be married.
00:21:25If you love me, please don't go.
00:21:28What's the matter?
00:21:29Don't you like the idea of a thief for a husband?
00:21:31I don't care about that.
00:21:33I only care for you.
00:21:36Well, if you get caught and you're put away,
00:21:39think of me without you.
00:21:40I couldn't stand it again.
00:21:42I told you it's my last job.
00:21:44Please, Philip, stop now.
00:21:50I can't.
00:21:51I can't stop just because I might get hurt.
00:21:53You won't, you mean?
00:21:56All right, I won't.
00:21:57Because a part of me wants to.
00:22:00Because I'm as scared as hell.
00:22:03You?
00:22:04Look, I'm four years older.
00:22:06I'm rusty.
00:22:09I'd say I walked out because of you, but I'd know that wasn't the real reason.
00:22:13If I ran it, it'd be because I was scared.
00:22:15I'd know that.
00:22:17And believe me, in time, you'd know it too.
00:22:23What kind of a life would that be to get?
00:22:41Wish me luck.
00:22:42Really?
00:22:49Call me when it's over.
00:22:52I'll wait.
00:23:29You're a happy person.

00:29:44Oh, never mind.
00:29:45Get on with it.
