00:45It started with an investigation of my mother's guts
00:48and ended with an investigation of mine.
00:58She won't thank you for him, you know.
01:00Here, mate. My heart's saying. You know that, Fred.
01:13And there's been a price for five percentage points in the cost of living.
01:18The security guard seriously wounded Harmer's Green Bank robbery yesterday
01:22is still critically ill in hospital with shotgun wounds in chest of arms.
01:27In the chest? I bet he never comes out.
01:31Bright little rare sunshine, isn't he?
01:34Oh, I know, my son. Once you're in one of these places...
01:38Yeah, yeah, but look, lay off that sort of check with mum, eh?
01:41That's the last thing she needs.
01:45Oh, bloody shotguns.
01:48I'd bring back hanging for the bastards, I would.
01:51What, with our economic crisis?
01:53Nah, chop them up for cat food.
01:55Cut imports. Save the endangered whale. That's what I say.
02:00Har, bloody har.
02:03St Christopher's, Agerston.
02:05A jewel in the crown of the National Health Service.
02:08If you're not sick when you go in, you very soon will be.
02:34Well, it's nice you can have a good check.
02:37Have a while, you darling.
02:38Mm, yeah.
02:41Only eat them all at once.
02:44He did, and he nicked the money out of our Christmas club.
02:47You all right, girl?
02:48Yes.
02:51Oh, yes.
02:52How are you two getting on?
02:54Oh, we're all right now.
02:55Nothing wrong.
02:57Well, have they done anything yet?
02:58Well, he explored me.
03:01Oh, yeah.
03:01Don't tell you nothing, do they?
03:03Have you been eating?
03:05No.
03:05Thought we'd wait till you got ready.
03:08So long as he has it at the right time.
03:10He gets very irritable otherwise.
03:12Yeah, he can be a bit of an handful.
03:14Well, I'm glad it's not just me.
03:17That's his mother.
03:18Whose mother?
03:19The fellow the police are looking for.
03:22The one who shot that bank guard.
03:25Franks' name is.
03:26Bernard Franks.
03:28Well, as I understand it, he didn't exactly do the shooting.
03:31What?
03:31No, he was driving a jam jar.
03:32I mean, that's how he got away, you see?
03:34Well, it's all the same, innit?
03:36I've been laying here thinking, what if it was you on the run and me in that condition?
03:40Have you?
03:41Shit.
03:44Heart.
03:45She's going.
03:46I thought she had this morning.
03:48Does she, um, know about...
03:50No.
03:51She keeps asking for him.
03:52Bernie, where's Bernie?
03:55I said you'd help.
03:56Oh, he?
03:57Get a message to him.
04:00What do you mean, a message?
04:01Let him know she's in here.
04:02He doesn't know, see?
04:05I said you'd help.
04:09Imagine if it was me, son.
04:11No, no.
04:11Look, look, after Metropolitan Police Force were going to be looking for him.
04:14Right.
04:14And when they find him...
04:15I told his wife.
04:16That's her with his mother now.
04:18She's a bit sharp, but I expect it's a distress.
04:21I told her how good you are at finding people.
04:24Thought he couldn't find a Jew in Befnell Green.
04:26Oh, of course, you won't have to charge them nothing.
04:28They haven't got no money.
04:30Of course not.
04:32I knew you would.
04:33Oh, no, no, no.
04:33Hold on a minute, ma'am.
04:34I told her you'd only have to make a few inquiries.
04:37Shut up a minute.
04:38You listen.
04:38Look, here, come on.
04:39You come in here.
04:43How is she, dear?
04:44Oh, sleep.
04:46This is my husband.
04:47How are you?
04:49And this is Jimmy.
04:50He says he'd be glad to help anywhere he can.
04:56And...
04:57Why don't you have a seat?
05:06What?
05:08No.
05:09This is a woman's room.
05:11He's just visiting.
05:18Um, the radio, the papers, they'll have a story about his mum, won't they?
05:23Well, he's likely to believe them, isn't he?
05:27What?
05:29No, he isn't.
05:30He's a very nice man.
05:33Um, what about his mates?
05:37Well, nobody's coming near me after this sort of job, are they?
05:43Besides, uh...
05:44Well, it's not like that.
05:47It's not like what?
05:50Look, um...
05:51What do you expect me to do?
05:55Oh, for God's sake, it isn't in Doctor Who.
05:59Well, I just thought that you could, uh, pass the word round.
06:05For what?
06:10All right, come on then.
06:13Now, would he...
06:14Would he give himself up to come here?
06:17I don't know.
06:18But would he?
06:19Because if you got involved, it would put you in a spot if he didn't.
06:23Yeah.
06:24I know, I know.
06:27I know it was stupid to me to think there was anything you could do to help,
06:29but it's just, well...
06:31When you get desperate...
06:34Oh, well, I mean, don't worry about it.
06:36Please don't worry about it.
06:37And that was your mum just being nice to me.
06:39So don't worry about it.
06:40You mean you're not gonna help her?
06:42I don't know why the hell should he.
06:44You be quiet.
06:46There are people in here.
06:46Yeah.
06:48I'd better get you out of here.
06:51Yeah.
06:53Yeah, he'll see it in the papers and then, well, it's up to him what he decides to do then,
06:57isn't he?
06:58Anyway, thanks.
07:00But please don't worry about it.
07:04I'd better...
07:10She's dying.
07:13Well, I'm sorry, but I can do about it.
07:18There's 500 bogeys out here looking for him.
07:20You think I can go up to his front door and knock on it and say, can we have a
07:22chat?
07:23Come on, mum.
07:25Besides, I'm up to hearing work.
07:27The big work I was up to my scalp in was figuring out how to pay for the rent, the
07:31insurance on the car, and the mug of face pack Maureen had given me in Mistake for Coffee.
07:58Maybe I felt I should keep in practice.
08:00Maybe it was the look on my mother's face.
08:03Maybe I even felt something for the old girl who wanted to see her villainous son before going to a
08:07place where he'd break her heart no more.
08:10Or maybe I just thought that Mrs. Franks would give me a decent cup of coffee.
08:13I'm sorry.

23:48Look, you'll have to get some other idiot from Manchester.
24:14Somewhere, there had to be someone, sometime, who does something for nothing.
24:19Well, why the old does it have to be me?
24:45Well, I should have known Minty wouldn't think I was just interested in her own cooking.
24:56What are you getting me into?
24:58Nothing.
24:58Relax.
24:59Just thought you'd like to go out and get legless.
25:00Yeah, I just thought you said a quick one.

25:18and the Free Calls.
25:19Are we all buying or renting for the Guinness Book of Records?
25:21Nah, I feel restless.

25:28For God's sake!

26:04He was here somewhere.

26:08So, we're about 500 boys in blue.
26:49I was beginning to feel that I'd already met friend Bernie.
26:52There were parts of him.
26:54Part one was back in Acton.
26:56Irrespectable Little Painter and Decorator.
26:58Part two.
27:10Right.
27:11Go in there.
27:12Oh!
27:13Whoa!
27:14Jump in on me.
27:15I didn't need you.
27:16Come out for a drink, you say.
27:37Come out.
27:39Come out.
27:39Come out, get inside.
27:41Stop it.
27:42Get inside.
27:43Come out.
27:44Come out.
27:46Take it.
27:48Come out.
27:51Here. Come on. Here. Here you are, darling. You're not going to get nothing for it, you
28:01know. You're the second woman that said that to me tonight. Oh, here. I couldn't even keep
28:08you warm, darling. I never thought Mara would go first. If she does, of course. Yeah. She
28:17keeps asking for her daughters and all. Yeah? Which one? You know, I didn't know that she
28:22had any daughters. You said you knew her. Oh, well, I mean, you know, like those daughters.
28:32Oh, I know what you're after, all. You dirty bugger. Here. Which one do you fancy? I'll
28:43take over some of the cleaning she did for them. Once you're in the game like I was,
28:48you never leave it. Here. She sat there last week. Oh, bless her. She said to me, Pearl,
28:59mate. She said, Pearl, I spent the last 30 years on my back. Now I've got to spend the
29:05rest of my life on my knees. Here. Which one do you fancy? I'll tell you, she washes beyond
29:14her ears. There's another one of hers. That's Sadie. Very, very nice, isn't it? Yes. That
29:22one's got a touch of what you might call class. Yeah, I can see that. Still, it's what you're
29:28fancy, isn't it? Well, do you think you can give me any addresses of them all? Not all
29:35for now. Oh, you look like a beautiful little angel, but I bet you've got a big fork, are
29:43you? Here. You've got pencil and paper, Andy.
30:01I know you did that mantelpiece deal. Ah, ah, yeah. Ah. Here. Here. Here. It's not as easy as
30:20You're in. I haven't got room for you, love, not on here.
30:22You're in. Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, what's...
30:26I'll give it your back, man, I promise you.
30:28Don't bother them, can't it? You'll give your brain a hand.
30:30There we are, that's all.
30:32Oh, you take that, I mean.
30:33Well, what about a snout break, then, eh?
30:36Yeah.
30:37Look at the state of that, will you?
30:38All right, all right.
30:41Now, what are you doing down here, darling?
30:43Do you want to crawl out, eh?
30:43Was it like shins?
30:45Oh, that's how they've fused ever.
30:46Come on. Oh!
30:48Oh, my God.
30:50Oh, I'm all right now.
30:53Are you sure?
30:53Yes.
30:54From now on, I've decided to come out of retirement on your behalf.
31:00Well, that's very nice of you, Mum.
31:02Oh, no, no, please.
31:04Grundy, look another time, Mum, ain't you?
31:06Oh, thank you, John.
31:08Oh, isn't he nice, isn't he nice?
31:15Not my...
31:15Joe, not my...
31:16Sit there instantly, old man.
31:18Look, I'll have to give you a ring, all right?
31:20All right, John?
31:20No, no!
31:22Sorry, governor.
31:22Don't do it, Jim.
31:24Don't throw yourself away in there.
31:26What's the matter with you?
31:27What's the matter with you?
31:28You've got it steaming little.
31:29I'll give you up, mate.
31:31What are you looking for?
31:32What's that?
31:33You've got to pick a winner from six runners.
31:35I, uh...
31:43No, listen, look, the last time you was in my motor, you chucked it all over the gear list.
31:47Don't you give up, mate.
31:48No, look, I'm not driving this motor with you in that condition.
31:51Give us some keys, man.
31:53I'm not driving this motor.
31:55We will get a cab.
31:56Come on.
31:57You've made a movie?
31:58No, you are.
31:59Come on.
31:59Hey, listen, that's my bread you've got on all.
32:09Hey, listen, that's my bread you've got on all.
32:54Hey, listen, that's my bread you've got on all.
33:09On Pearl's list, Moira was grade A for cleanliness.
33:19I hoped I'd get a lead before getting down to grade C.
33:22Nothing like a bit of atmosphere, is there?
33:26Drink?
33:26Uh, no, thanks.
33:28Some people expect a lot.
33:30A pair of teeth and a cup of Orlix afterwards.
33:32Those are your, uh, your strangest requests?
33:35Oh, I could tell you some strange requests, all right.
33:39Oh, yeah?
33:40Costs extra.
33:41Oh, just, uh, just tell me, Marge.
33:44Marge?
33:44Uh, Moira.
33:45That stupid whore.
33:46You've been with her.
33:48She thinks all you have to do is to lay down, open your legs and close your purse.
33:52She doesn't see herself as a psychologist like I do.
33:55Psychologist?
33:56Now, I may be a year or two older, but you're a different person when you leave here.
34:01And then she has the bloody cheek to say they're dropping.
34:04Dropping?
34:05Huh.
34:06They may not be as sappy as the teenagers anymore, but at least they're not banging on me knees like
34:10hers.
34:14Well, you've seen them all.
34:17You be the judge.
34:20Moira, please, I'm no judge.
34:23I get it all wrong on those contests, you know, the ones on the telly.
34:26Oh, yeah?
34:27Oh.
34:27I've seen Miss World, but this was ridiculous.
34:31Bernie.
34:33What?
34:34Marge sent me.
34:35See, I'm looking for Bernie.
34:37You get out there, you.
34:38I know your type.
34:40I know who you are.
34:41Gently.
34:49Definitely grade A.
34:50Plus.
34:52And I am, after all, only human.
34:54What's your excuse?
34:57Come on, lover.
34:58Otherwise, you're on overtime.
35:04I've got to split.
35:06Work?
35:07Hmm.
35:08Where?
35:09Club.
35:11You know, ma?
35:14Who doesn't?
35:15She recommended me.
35:17Social American Express.
35:19Sit me.
35:22Sit me.
35:28Poor old girl, eh?
35:30Yeah.
35:32I sent her some flowers.
35:33It's a bit soon for that.
35:35There you go.
35:36She's out of time.
35:38Come on, get a move on.
35:53Come on.
35:54I'm pretty.
36:01Okay.
36:04I love you.
37:01I put them out for the rubbish.
37:02You can always get back numbers.
37:04Leave them.
37:05Well, it's getting a bit chilly suddenly.
37:06Leave them.
37:08I get all kinds of rip-offs in this hole,
37:10and I know how to use it.
37:11Who are you?
37:13Where's Bernie?
37:13Who are you?
37:14Ma sent me.
37:15Lie.
37:16Who are you?
37:17Investigator.
37:18Who's paying you?
37:19You're not going to believe this.
37:20Who's paying you?
37:21Look, Sadie, if you're sheltering him...
37:23Don't you shut up me, you swine.
37:25I know who's paying you.
37:26I've been pushed around long enough by you bastards,
37:28and you're not going to push me around.
37:29Sadie?
37:31Who's paying you?
37:31No, you snort.
37:32No one's paying me.
37:33Don't pull that trigger.
37:38Give me that clip.
37:40Give me that clip.
37:41You bloody fool.
37:43You fool.
37:44You fool.
37:44You stupid bloody fool.
37:46You want to go inside?
37:52I don't know.
37:55Hello, Bernie.
37:57Look, I'm not from your projection,
37:59if that's what you think.
38:00They don't want you holding on to a potato like Bernie.
38:02What you want to come out for, fool?
38:04Fool.
38:04Look, you don't mind if I stop playing Brian Ricks?
38:07Where's the rest?
38:08I'm on me own.
38:09Look, he'll shop you,
38:10and he'll do the most well unless we...
38:12Don't listen to him!
38:14Is she really?
38:17They're not selling lies, Bernie.
38:19Look, she's had it before.
38:21She's come out before.
38:22She's so selfish.
38:23You'll be doing a seven if you're lucky,
38:25and she'll be back in the booze
38:26and pouring Guinness down her throat.
38:28Sign over what a lovely, stupid, stupid son she has!
38:46I don't know where he was.
38:49What was he doing?
38:51They're doing an house-to-house.
38:53It's like rush hour,
38:55from Commercial Road right up Wapping Eye Street.
38:56and they're all wearing uniforms.
38:59If it's not tonight,
39:00it's going to be tomorrow.
39:02Look, you didn't know about the gun.
39:04That might help.
39:05What are you getting out of it?
39:07Exercise.
39:08Nobody walking with us for nothing!
39:09Look, Sayed...
39:13Maybe I could get in the hospital and...
39:19His wife knew what he was doing all right,
39:22which was why she wanted him inside.
39:26And she knew what she was doing
39:27when she picked on this errand boy.
39:42You've got a motor.
39:46I'll get one.
39:48He's dead.
39:50The bank security guard.
39:52It was on the late news.
39:58I had nothing to do with that.
40:00I don't work with shooters.
40:02I wasn't even in the motor.
40:04I wasn't.
40:06What are you talking about?
40:11I wasn't on the job.
40:13What are you talking about?
40:14What the hell are you running for
40:16if you weren't on the job?
40:20Sayed and I were going away together.
40:22Leaving your old lady?
40:24Both his old ladies.
40:25He got two mothers.
40:26One in the east and one in the west.
40:28You're planning to head south
40:28with a crock of paying gold?
40:29You think I like being underneath people like you, fella?
40:31You think I enjoy it?
40:33You think I want to end up like Ma,
40:35cleaning up after people like you?
40:37Every time I saw...
40:45Danny Gerson's bruiser.
40:48Danny, the minder.
40:49Yeah.
40:51I wanted to get away from my protection.
40:53He wanted to get away from his.
40:55I changed my mind.
40:58A week before the job,
41:00I changed my mind.
41:02At least the kid,
41:03I couldn't leave that kid.
41:06I cut out a week before
41:07they got another driver.
41:09Real stuma.
41:11You don't think I'd cop out
41:13and leave me mates like that, do you?
41:14Then what the hell are you running for, ape?
41:16You think they couldn't fit me up
41:18any time they feel like it?
41:19I got the record.
41:20My number's on the sheet.
41:22They're convict.
41:23I've got no chance.
41:26That bloody guard's dead.
41:28I wasn't driving the bloody car,
41:30I swear it.
41:31The villain who shouted your name?
41:33Well,
41:36maybe,
41:36maybe you've forgotten
41:37I wasn't the driver.
41:39Joe Public,
41:40hero of the hour,
41:40who identified you?
41:42I don't know.
41:45Maybe you brought out an ident picture.
41:46Try it with your name.
41:48Yeah.
41:49Yeah.
41:49Yeah.
41:51Well,
41:52get me on a conspiracy anyway
41:53for planning the raid.
41:54I got no chance, I tell you.
41:55Not if you'd backed out
41:56when they knew that
41:57you were going to use a gun.
42:00Now, look,
42:01are you being straight with me?
42:05Yeah.
42:06You were all over me
42:07tonight before the job.
42:09You were full of it.
42:10Oh, you were full of it.
42:11Why didn't you tell me?
42:12Well, it was our money
42:13for going away.
42:14I thought if I was to tell you.
42:20So where were you
42:20when a job was being done?
42:23Pub.
42:24Which pub?
42:25Londoner.
42:25At half past ten
42:26in the morning.
42:27All right.
42:28According to an Oxford
42:28group of economists...
42:29The pub must have been afterwards.
42:30Shares reacted to this report before.
42:32Look, you can't use it.
42:34I could never go back.
42:35Why not?
42:36Police are still searching
42:37the docks area
42:38of the East End
42:39for Bernard Franks.
42:40Wanted for questioning
42:41in connection
42:42with the Palmer's Green Bank robbery
42:44where a security guard
42:45was shot
42:45and later died.
42:47Police would also like
42:48to interview
42:49James Hazel
42:50a private...
42:51Hang on.
42:53...in connection
42:54with the same case.
42:56The weather,
42:57rain has died away
42:58in most parts.
42:59Now you listen, Sunshine.
43:00It's not just you.
43:01It's me.
43:02We're both in it.
43:02Up to here.
43:04Now, were you on
43:05the bloody job
43:05or weren't you?
43:06No.
43:06Then where the hell
43:07were you?
43:09Hospital.
43:10Hospital?
43:11Agustin Hospital.
43:12Your mother wasn't
43:13in there then.
43:13It was me!
43:15You?
43:19Stomach.
43:20Stomach?
43:21An ulcer.
43:22Your executive worries...
43:23Look, it's the truth,
43:24I'll tell you.
43:24It's bloody well true.
43:25I was in Agustin Hospital
43:26at half past ten.
43:30All right.
43:31So you were in the hospital
43:32so you'd have
43:33a thousand witnesses.
43:34So explain to me.
43:34What's the problem?
43:34Leave it, will you?
43:35Just leave it.
43:36Explain to me!
43:36Leave it!
43:39I'm going, Bernie.
43:43With or without aggravation
43:44makes no difference to me.
43:46It's up to you, isn't it?
43:51It's the truth, I'll tell you.
43:54Yeah.
44:07Took a dumbo like me
44:08to listen to one like Bernie,
44:10let alone believe him.
44:12The lady was right.
44:14The first thought
44:15that occurred to me
44:15was to shop him.
44:17For all I knew,
44:18Uncle Chuck
44:19might be very understanding.
44:21Yeah, yeah.
44:23As for any chance
44:24of checking out Bernie's story,
44:26how could I even get out
44:27of the district
44:27when it was crawling
44:28with my ex-friends?
44:51James Hazel.
44:52I understand you might be looking for me.
45:13Well, you couldn't really blame them,
45:14could you?
45:15When someone volunteers to assist,
45:17you don't expect him to scarpe back.
45:24Are you sure it's this hospital
45:26and not the district hospital,
45:28Mr. Franks?
45:29Er, no, this one.
45:30Er, Agerson Hospital.
45:31Yeah, positive.
45:35So annoying.
45:37Yeah, it is.
45:38I'm sure I've come across
45:39that name somewhere
45:40very recently.
45:42Bernard Franks,
45:43it certainly rings a bell.
45:45Which department?
45:46Er,
45:49Stomach.
45:50Stomach.
45:56Well, if you've been here,
45:57your name must be here.
45:59Are you absolutely certain,
46:00Mr. Franks,
46:01that you've come
46:02to the right hospital?
46:09You can't use it.
46:10I could never go back if...
46:13Two, five, two, oh.
46:15Try not to lose it again.
46:16Did I visit you last Tuesday?
46:18About half past ten.
46:18Please, it's my other disease,
46:20amnesia.
46:20Yeah, it's very, very important.
46:22Yes, you did.
46:24Well,
46:26you really stepped over
46:27at this time,
46:28didn't you, Sonny?
46:29I warned you,
46:30but no,
46:31you had to do it your way.
46:32I will do it mine.
46:34James Hazel,
46:35I have reason to...
46:36The man you want
46:37is at 4 Churchfields,
46:39Narrow Street,
46:39East 14.
46:41Is that a fact?
46:42That's a fact.
46:43Jockey, old mate.
46:45What's your game, Hazel?
46:47It's just in the police
46:48with their inquiries.
46:49Oh, well,
46:50in that case,
46:52why don't we go somewhere
46:53nice and quiet
46:54where you can put your feet up?
46:55Terrific.
46:56He is innocent, by the way.
46:58Oh, aye.
47:01Got a wee problem
47:02of your own,
47:03have you?
47:04Can't say I'm surprised.
47:06No, no, no, no.
47:06You see,
47:07this was...
47:10Hang on a second.
47:12I think I'd better make an appointment.
47:14But you've already got an appointment.
47:15No, no, no.
47:16Let me see, this was...
47:17No, Jockey,
47:17give us a minute, will you?
47:18Look, I may just have a little problem.
47:34There you are.
47:35All it needed was a little message to him
47:38so that she could die in peace.
47:40It costs nothing to cross the road
47:42to help someone, does it?
47:44Come on.
47:45I'll get you something to eat.
47:47Thank God.
47:53Aren't they a lovely couple?
47:56It reminds me a bit of you, Jimmy.
48:00Yeah.
48:03Yeah, we do have something in common.
48:10You were born one morning
48:12Walk out where the ceiling fell
48:18Born one morning
48:20Walk out where the ceiling fell
48:25You learned everything you knew
48:27It's six days
48:28On the seventh day
48:30You knew it very well
48:33You trusted pretty women
48:36A pretty woman
48:37Had you tied and bound
48:40You trusted in the bottle
48:43But in the end
48:45That bottle got you down
48:48You've tried everything that's going
48:51But leave it all to faith
48:54This time around
48:56You've been down so long
48:58It looks like, girl
49:01Ain't that a shame
49:04Down so long
49:06It looks like, girl
49:08Ain't that a shame
49:11You know you'll lock my chains tomorrow
49:14And then again
49:16It might stay just about the same
49:20I don't know what's going on
49:41Go away
