00:00:03I missed you.
00:00:05I missed you.
00:00:06You must be Mary.
00:00:08I'm Tusker.
00:00:09Hi.
00:00:10Unusual name.
00:00:11Crazy name, crazy guy.
00:00:13What's the point of all this election crap man?
00:00:16It's useless.
00:00:17You can't even vote to it at 21.
00:00:19Because I'm sick of waiting for things to happen.
00:00:21It's like Eddie said.
00:00:22It could be different this time.
00:00:24Our day is at hand.
00:00:26The call will come.
00:00:27This is my house.
00:00:29My house like.
00:00:31And you do what I tell you.
00:00:33Is that why you've been seeing Tusker?
00:00:36I've seen you as you now.
00:00:38How long has it been going on?
00:00:42Be careful.
00:00:48I'm sorry.
00:00:49Would you like a job?
00:00:51Yes.
00:00:52Meal for you.
00:00:53Aval and date slice for you.
00:00:56I'll have this place off you within a year.
00:00:59I'll see you.
00:01:13Of course a film can't really do this system justice.
00:01:16I'll see you in the way, sir.
00:01:19Herbert, you should go and see a development personally.
00:01:23Maybe I could take a look at the one in the film.
00:01:25Yes.
00:01:26Or somewhere else.
00:01:28There's one exactly the same in Bordeaux.
00:01:33Another one in Greece.
00:01:36Holland.
00:01:39Spain.
00:01:41Spain.
00:01:42Spain.
00:01:43Do you know, I've always wanted to go to Spain.
00:01:45Shall I tell you why?
00:01:46Yes, do you?
00:01:48Yes, do you?
00:01:49Bloody rubbish.
00:01:54Oh, go away, will you?
00:01:5910 Downing Street.
00:02:01Hello?
00:02:02Hello?
00:02:03Hello?
00:02:05Is Nicky Hutchinson there, please?
00:02:07Speaking.
00:02:08Nicky!
00:02:09Hey, Nicky!
00:02:10It's me, Geordie!
00:02:11Geordie!
00:02:12Where are you?
00:02:13In London, man.
00:02:14How are you doing?
00:02:15All right?
00:02:16Have you moved?
00:02:17No, I work for Donoghue.
00:02:18Isn't that the same thing?
00:02:20No.
00:02:21No.
00:02:25I don't work for a builder.
00:02:28Okay.
00:02:31How is your job?
00:02:33Not really what I thought.
00:02:34I mean, I don't mean that.
00:02:36I mean, I'm right, you know, in the thick of things.
00:02:40I'm really busy, and Austin really is getting things done.
00:02:45He really is.
00:02:45It's just, I don't see all that much of him, really.
00:02:50And that's the only problem, really.
00:03:05Did you get the birthday card?
00:03:07Yeah, I did.
00:03:08Thanks.
00:03:09And the letter.
00:03:10I meant a reply.
00:03:11I forgot your birthday.
00:03:12I'm sorry.
00:03:16I didn't forget.
00:03:18I was a bit busy anyway.
00:03:21Anthony was born on my birthday.
00:03:23Did you know?
00:03:24Should make life simple for Tosca.
00:03:30Sorry.
00:03:34So how's life, then?
00:03:40Such a mistake, Nicky.
00:03:41What?
00:03:44My life.
00:03:47It's so different.
00:03:53It's so difficult.
00:03:57Anthony is wonderful.
00:03:58He's worth everything.
00:04:05It's all such incredible, hard work.
00:04:14Tosca was stupid to give up his apprenticeship.
00:04:18But he said he couldn't keep a wife and baby on apprentices' wages.
00:04:21And now he's got a dead-end job he hates.
00:04:26And he's even more obsessed with becoming a singer.
00:04:33Sometimes I think I hardly know him.
00:04:40And now it's been horrible not seeing you and being able to talk to you.
00:05:05I miss you so much.
00:05:07Do you?
00:05:10What are we going to do, Mary?
00:05:27And try harder.
00:05:43I see.
00:05:46Well, congratulations.
00:05:47Tosca happy?
00:05:49He's thrilled.
00:05:51Yeah.
00:05:53Nicky.
00:05:56Could you try to like him?
00:06:01It would help me such a lot
00:06:04if you didn't have to stay away all the time.
00:06:09Yeah.
00:06:11Okay.
00:06:29Let it go.
00:06:30Yeah.
00:06:31Tosca's having a one-man show at the Walsington this Friday.
00:06:35He's got an agent coming.
00:06:38You could come.
00:06:40Have a night out.
00:06:42Keep me company a bit, yeah?
00:06:45Well, I'll see, shall I?
00:06:47Yeah.
00:06:49Good night.
00:06:51Good night, Patrick.
00:06:53Good night, Nicky.
00:06:55Good night.
00:06:58Good night.
00:06:59Good night.
00:06:59Good night.
00:06:59Good night.
00:06:59Good night.
00:07:02Good night.
00:07:11Good night, Nicky.
00:07:12Good night.
00:07:15Good night.
00:07:24Good night.
00:07:25Good night, Nicky.
00:07:27Good night, John.
00:07:29Mm. He didn't say anything about seeing you.
00:07:32I talked to him this morning.
00:07:34Why should he tell you?
00:07:35It's just that he said he was going to have lunch with Mr Edwards in Birmingham, so...
00:07:40Well, I'll see him when he comes back then, won't I?
00:07:44I think he intended you to handle this.
00:07:47Please obey the laws, even though we don't.
00:07:52It's a straightforward piece of police work.
00:07:54If your own men haven't got the time or the inclination to tackle it themselves,
00:07:57then bring in an outsider.
00:07:59That's not acceptable.
00:08:00We'll handle this ourselves.
00:08:04Thank you, Roy.
00:08:07I appreciate your efforts.
00:08:11Will he do anything, in your opinion?
00:08:17No.
00:08:23You wasted your time, Mr Johnson.
00:08:28Anyway, I'm officially crackers now, so it doesn't matter how many names I write down, does it?
00:08:33What difference does it make, anyway?
00:08:35Nobody will ever clean up the Met.
00:08:38Nothing will ever change.
00:08:44I'm sorry.
00:08:48I don't know why I thought you'd be any different.
00:08:51I relied on you.
00:08:55Oh, thank God for that.
00:08:56It's not funny.
00:08:57Two of them had a stroke.
00:09:01The other one couldn't reach.
00:09:04Thanks for coming, mate.
00:09:07Thanks a lot.
00:09:09Very good.
00:09:09All right.
00:09:10Thanks, Roy.
00:09:19Oh, cheers, Roy.
00:09:20Cheers, Roy.
00:09:21How are we?
00:09:25Well, that was some performance.
00:09:27Take my hat off to you.
00:09:29Real, er, energy.
00:09:33Well, when's his first gig, then?
00:09:38Come on, Brian.
00:09:39You know as well as I do from your days on my books.
00:09:42There's a world of difference between a friendly little audience like this and Saturday night in a club.
00:09:49Well, I realise, obviously, I have to come up with some different material, like.
00:09:52He's a worker, Les.
00:09:54He's prepared to work.
00:09:55Raw talent's what we're looking at here, man.
00:09:59Let me give you some advice, all right?
00:10:03Now, you won't like it now, but you'll be glad of it in five years' time.
00:10:08And it's meant sincerely, from the heart,
00:10:13don't give up your day job.
00:10:18Thank you very much, and, er, I wish you the best of luck, truly.
00:10:24Good night, Brian.
00:10:25Good night.
00:10:26Take care, everybody.
00:10:32The scubby Jewish bastard!
00:10:36Well, sit down, man, drink a pint.
00:10:40I'm not bothered.
00:10:41It's only one man's opinion.
00:10:43Exactly.
00:10:44He's not even a man, anyway.
00:10:46He's just a scubby little rat.
00:10:48Meet that, man.
00:11:01Aye, why not?
00:11:03You've got what you came for, haven't you?
00:11:06Good laugh.
00:11:08I'm not laughing.
00:11:09That isn't what I came for.
00:11:10Well, why did you come, eh?
00:11:13As if I bloody needed to ask.
00:11:16Oscar.
00:11:19See you.
00:11:20Not if I see you first.
00:11:21And stay away from her.
00:11:24Don't talk about me as if I was your property.
00:11:26Yeah, me wife!
00:11:30Got that, Brains?
00:11:32Mr. Donna Hughes' office, boy.
00:11:38Do you know what you are, Tuscan?
00:11:40Go, will you?
00:11:40Do you?
00:11:41No, what?
00:11:42You're a first-class, A1, premier, brainless shite.
00:11:48Oi!
00:11:50You might have it up there, Nicky.
00:11:53But I've got it down here.
00:12:03Looking for something special?
00:12:05There's a film show in the back.
00:12:09I used to work here.
00:12:11Before?
00:12:13When it was Walensky's.
00:12:16The back used to be a bakery in it.
00:12:18Yeah?
00:12:21Well, this isn't a waiting room, pal.
00:12:33Everybody, stand still!
00:12:36Police, outside.
00:12:38I'm Detective Inspector Salway, Obscene Publication Squad.
00:12:41This is a search warrant.
00:12:43Don't be pathetic.
00:12:45Come on, outside.
00:12:47Stand over here, please.
00:12:49Got the names and addresses.
00:12:51Projectioner, sir.
00:12:52You're in a spot of trouble, pal.
00:12:54Over there.
00:12:55This won't be a court case.
00:12:57His name and address.
00:12:59You.
00:12:59Name.
00:13:01George Peacock.
00:13:02Address, George.
00:13:04Well, I haven't got one at the minute, Lake.
00:13:06Your identification, George?
00:13:07No.
00:13:09Good.
00:13:10Oh, gee.
00:13:12Phillips.
00:13:13Not Phillips.
00:13:15All right.
00:13:16Off you go.
00:13:19All of you, gents.
00:13:22Not you.
00:13:30Honourable member.
00:13:33Right.
00:13:35My friend.
00:13:37Michael Frisch.
00:13:39Are you the owner, Michael?
00:13:41No, definitely not.
00:13:42I'm just looking after it for a bloke I met in a pub.
00:13:45He didn't tell me his name.
00:13:47Shall I hit him, go ahead?
00:13:49Leave it out.
00:13:52Is this Barrett?
00:13:53Could be, actually.
00:13:55That's right, yeah.
00:13:57Afternoon.
00:13:58Are you the owner of this material, Mr Barrett?
00:14:00Me?
00:14:19Are you Jerry?
00:14:21Geordie.
00:14:22Yeah.
00:14:27Any chance of a job here, do you think?
00:14:30Doing what?
00:14:33Maybe he wants you for the new club.
00:14:37Where's that?
00:14:39Michaelsfield Street.
00:14:41When it opens.
00:14:43Somebody set fire to it.
00:14:47Who?
00:14:49East End businessman.
00:14:54We'll send somebody for you, I expect.
00:14:57Toil and trouble.
00:14:58And at the end of the day, ultimate victory.
00:15:01So, pull your fingers out.
00:15:04What do you say, Jerry?
00:15:07Okay.
00:15:08Thanks, Mr Barrett.
00:15:09Okay.
00:15:10Thanks, Mr Barrett.
00:15:11I love it.
00:15:12I love it.
00:15:13I love that accent.
00:15:29What's the point of Donoghue PRS?
00:15:32Funny you should ask that.
00:15:36Well...
00:15:49I'm not the only one who'd like to know.
00:15:53Is it just some kind of advertising come public relations agency, or unofficial offshoot of local government?
00:16:03A tool for dynamic social change, as I was once told, or a private joke by Austin Donoghue, or what?
00:16:12I don't see how it all fits together.
00:16:14That's how Austin operates.
00:16:16Everybody in separate boxes.
00:16:18Nobody but him gets the whole picture.
00:16:20Well, not even you.
00:16:22No.
00:16:24I'd better get back to work.
00:16:27Why didn't you buy Felix a drink when you had the chance?
00:16:31I mean, he can't even speak to me.
00:16:34He doesn't like the thought of you working for Donoghue.
00:16:39Glorified office boy, all that.
00:16:41Oh, well, Felix would know, of course.
00:16:44Felix knows everything.
00:16:45Felix was on the Jarrah March, so obviously.
00:17:02Right, that's great there.
00:17:05Thanks very much.
00:17:10Ah, good.
00:17:15Harold's called an election.
00:17:16I've been with Connor all morning.
00:17:18The party's broke as usual.
00:17:21What do you think?
00:17:22Do you like it?
00:17:23What is this, Austin?
00:17:24I want you to be my right-hand man, in here, in the middle of everything.
00:17:28I promised you a political education.
00:17:31It's time for phase two.
00:17:32What was phase one?
00:17:34We're going to be very busy, you and me.
00:17:36The party's asked me to take on its PR work for the election.
00:17:41That's brilliant.
00:17:42Would you still lead the campaign?
00:17:44I'll be doing what I've always done.
00:17:46Only this time I'll be paid.
00:17:48And so will you.
00:17:50Any objections to getting paid for your work?
00:17:53Um, look, I sort of promised Eddie I'd foot-slug for him.
00:17:56Well, you'll have to tell him you can't.
00:17:58Okay, but Austin, I don't want you patronising me.
00:18:03I want to be in on everything.
00:18:04Really everything, on nothing.
00:18:06Listen, regard yourself as a junior partner.
00:18:09I'll have a contract drawn up.
00:18:11Yes?

00:25:08Selway.
00:25:12yes sir.
00:25:15the arsehole and deputy arsehole require my presence.
00:25:19well it seems to me.
00:25:21whatever gloss you might care to put on it.
00:25:24that these villains in Soho are allowed to ply their filthy trade with impunity.
00:25:28well.
00:25:28yes.
00:25:29yes.
00:25:29commander.
00:25:30i read your memoranda about manpower shortages and the need for new laws.
00:25:35well.
00:25:35we can't make new laws for you.
00:25:37the courts may have decided in their wisdom
00:25:40that lady Chatterley's lover is acceptable reading.
00:25:44but d.h. lawrence is one thing.
00:25:46out and out filth another.
00:25:48the law no longer defines obscenity.
00:25:51it's a crime.
00:25:53and you were in charge of c.i.d.
00:25:58what mr blamire is asking here sir.
00:26:02is that obscene publication squad should go on flogging their guts out
00:26:06so that insignificant front men can be charged with trivial offenses.
00:26:11the next day the real villains have got two more shots open.
00:26:15with two more front men.
00:26:17new stock laughing all over their faces.
00:26:25sir.
00:26:27well inspector.

00:26:33for the chaotic spread of crime in your area.
00:26:38now the commissioner and i would like to hear from your lips
00:26:42exactly what measures you have in hand

00:30:09It's what he pays us for he doesn't pay me anything he pays me and I'm asking you to write
00:30:14him a speech saying what?
00:30:16He's a Tory builder who's carved himself a piece of huge development in this city for which you'll be paid
00:30:21handsomely by the taxpayer
00:30:22What am I supposed to do help him pat himself on the back you haven't seen this shit?
00:30:30This isn't working is it?
00:30:39You never enjoyed the campaign
00:30:42Maybe you should have been out there foot slogging with Eddie
00:30:44Maybe at least I might have met some real people face to face hear them out instead of pulling the
00:30:49wool over their eyes via that thing
00:30:50Oh then it didn't escape your attention where this election was fought and won
00:30:54Rubbish
00:30:55Nicky
00:30:55You're looking at the future here man
00:30:57I only spoke twice during this whole campaign
00:31:00In 64 I spoke every night every night
00:31:04In 59 and 55 three times a night in different halls
00:31:10In the 30s it wasn't even halls
00:31:12Street corners still
00:31:13You got up on a box in the big mark and you started talking
00:31:16In two minutes you had a crowd if you were any good
00:31:19We all did it
00:31:21Eddie
00:31:22Connor
00:31:23Like your fish wife
00:31:24You know
00:31:27Felix was one of the best
00:31:29Oh one of the very best your dad
00:31:31By God he had some fire in his belly
00:31:34Did he?
00:31:35He got up on his hind legs and he shouted
00:31:37What about?
00:31:42About everything you know is important when you're 20 years old
00:31:45And the country's run by crooks and cowards
00:31:47But why don't you get up on your hind legs and shout about it now Austin
00:31:49Because nobody's interested
00:31:52People can't see how the big issues connect with our lives anymore
00:31:56Make them see
00:32:05Don't make any rash decisions eh
00:32:08It isn't rash
00:32:11I resign
00:32:14I'm getting people somewhere decent to live
00:32:16What more is it you want from me?
00:32:20I never promised any more than that Nicky
00:32:22It's my fault Austin
00:32:24I made a mistake
00:32:26I was looking for something that used to happen
00:32:28Before I was born in the big market
00:32:33Maybe it just doesn't exist anymore
00:32:53People can't connect with the big issues anymore
00:32:58Isn't that right Austin?
00:33:00What are the big issues?
00:33:02Streets in the sky
00:33:05Houses
00:33:07Trips to Spain
00:33:09Bullfights
00:33:19No
00:33:21The great moral issue facing modern British politics
00:33:25Is corruption
00:33:38I thought you'd listen
00:33:41To my reasoning
00:33:47But now I see
00:33:50You don't hear a thing
00:33:55Trying to make you see
00:33:59How it's got to be
00:34:02Yes, it's alright
00:34:04All or nothing
00:34:06Yeah, yeah
00:34:08All or nothing
00:34:10Come on
00:34:11Hot, yeah
00:34:12All or nothing

00:34:24Things could work out
00:34:27Just like I want them to
00:34:30Yeah
00:34:31If I could have
00:34:35The other half of you
00:34:39Yeah
00:34:39Things could work out
00:34:41Things could work out
