12:20Yeah, Everton Johnson, yeah.

12:22Who else has been looking for him then?
12:24A young woman.
12:25Of course I know Everton well.
12:26Used to deliver papers for me when he was a lad.
12:29Oh God, look they're still hanging in there, they're outside there.

12:56This geezer you're looking for?
12:58Everton Johnson?
12:59Not personally like my brother does though.
13:01I used to grow up for him.
13:03Well, where can I find your brother?
13:05It's got to be worth a few, Bob.
13:07Ah, ha, ha.

13:48ΠΈΠ»ΠΈ...
13:50Huh....Ξ±?
13:52Where did!
14:00I told you he wasn't old Bill.
14:01Old Bill wouldn't have bothered running.
14:03Yeah, he smokes too much and all.
14:04Look at the state of him.
14:06Oi, do yourself a favour, mate.
14:07Sling a couple of fags up here.
14:09It's going to cost you this information, you know.
14:12But we're open to negotiations.
14:14Once or each.
14:17Come and get it.
14:19Go on, Winston.
14:21You know, if plates like that, he just might be old Bill.
14:23No, he's using them all.
14:25Look at the state of his lug holes.
14:27It's their omits to make them stick out like that.
14:32Now, any more lip out of you, you flesh little bastard?
14:41You say, Blake?
14:42Right, race relations board.
14:44Now, where's your brother before I splatter you all over this wall?
14:48Two quid.
14:50There's an Isaac in here for you.
14:51You said a deuce.
14:52Your mate's blown.
14:53Now, where do I find him?
14:57Once.
15:00Work.
15:01He's got a garage.
15:02Jerry Dannings.
15:03He owns it.
15:04My life.
15:05Top of told you I'd rise.
15:06Is that his name?
15:07Jerry.
15:08Jerry Dannings.
15:09Are you sure he knows this Everton Johnson?
15:11He's the graph with my brother.
15:12He's left now, though.
15:13Jerry might know where he is.
15:16Hey, do you, uh, want me to come up in your motor?
15:19No, it's, uh, I think it's M.O.T.
15:21You should take it to my brother's.
15:22He does M.O.T.'s.
15:24Everybody passes.
15:25If they drop him a few quid.
15:27You could say that over one, so the gas is out.
15:29Yeah, join the club.
15:30Go on, play the white man.
15:32I won't mention what you called me to the race relations board.
15:34Get on your bike.
15:35Go on.
15:36Don't forget, tell our jury it was me what sent you.
15:46Very handy dropping on that kid.
15:48Because now I've no need to bother chasing up army records, the ABA, or even his old mum and dad.
15:54Because brother Jerry pushed me straight onto our Everton.
16:20It's not ready, and if you're bringing someone in, it won't be this week.
16:24What's the stake come to?
16:25Might sort after a motor.
16:27I know where there's one, wouldn't go for very much.
16:29Stag?
16:30Yeah, 74.
16:31Interested?
16:32I might be.
16:33Look, I'm looking for a fellow by the name of Everton Johnson.
16:37You know where I can find him, do you?
16:38Who?
16:39Everton Johnson.
16:41Never heard of him.
16:42Come on.
16:43Your brother said he used to work down here with you.
16:46Everton Johnson.
16:48My brother?
16:52You said you might be interested in a try and stay?
17:30Oh, you didn't catch him, then.
17:33And you forgot you were an astroplast.
17:35Oh, dear.
17:36Because it was your 50p in the till that threw me, wasn't it?
17:39Otherwise they would never have gone away with it.
17:41She'd mind.
17:44Oh, that looks so.
17:46I wish you could just have some sensible shoes.
17:49And you just missed her.
17:50Missed who?
17:51That young woman who was in the other day looking for Everton.
17:55She was in the game looking for his sister this time.
17:58Did you say what for?
17:59I never asked.
18:01But I tell you what, she was a bit of all right.
18:03Black and all.
18:05Black?
18:06Yeah, I've seen worse in Samadine's.
18:10Have you seen this, man?
18:13The old Bill have been seizing this, man.
18:18Have we now?
18:19Yeah, well, I don't normally keep the strong as this.
18:21It's just that the rep left it on sale or return.
18:23It's going back this time, he comes.
18:25I think we're going a bit too far, aren't you?
18:28I wouldn't leave that on display if I were you.
18:31Now, it's Everton Johnson.
18:33He used to live in Waterloo Street.
18:35Yeah, number 46.
18:37That was a daily mirror.
18:39Boxing news on a Thursday.
18:42People, news of the world on a Sunday.
18:44I'm going to say flitted years ago, owing me money.
18:47I can tell you how much, if you like.
18:49I've got records from the day I moved in here.
18:52That's the worst day's work I've ever did and all,
18:53buying this place.
18:54I should have stayed in the army.
18:56I was a sergeant, you know.
18:58I would have been out with a pension now.
18:59Any idea where they moved to, the Johnsons?
19:01Well, if I did, they wouldn't be having me money, would they?
19:03How long have they been gone?
19:04Oh, must be, uh, ten.
19:07Ten years, yeah.
19:08Long before they pulled down Waterloo Street.
19:10Family of Indians moved in after them, number 46.
19:13So they never took a painter.
19:17How's that feel, better?
19:20Was he still living at home when they moved?
19:22Everton?
19:23No, no, he flew in the nest years before.
19:25Oh, you have no idea where to?
19:27I mean, did he stay around here, move away, or what?
19:29No, after he went in the army to do his national service,
19:31I never saw him around here anymore.
19:32Well, he must have come home visiting.
19:34No, no, see, blacks, they're not like us, you see.
19:36I mean, they've got no sense of family.
19:38I mean, one of their kids gets into trouble,
19:40they kick them out, and that's that.
19:42According to that young woman who was in here looking for him,
19:45they, uh, ended up with Shepton Mallet.
19:47Where?
19:48Shepton Mallet.
19:49Army Nick for Serious Crimes.
19:50Well, it was in my day.
19:51Oh.
19:52Miss, uh, Centrefold told you that, did she?
19:54Didn't you do national service?
19:55Before my time.
19:57Yeah, see, they should never have stopped national service.
19:59Everton, he was with the Gunners.
20:01Everton Johnson?
20:02Not on Arsenal's books.
20:03No, no, no, boxing was Everton's game.
20:06And the Royal Artillery.
20:07The Greasy Gunners, my old regiment.
20:10Quo Fasic Gloria Ducant.
20:12Sorry?
20:12That's a regimental motto.
20:14I remember Everton coming home on his first sleeve in his uniform.
20:17Pleased as punchy was.
20:19I asked him if he knew what it meant, Quo Fasic Gloria Ducant.
20:23He didn't, of course.
20:25Where fate and glory lead us.
20:27Led him into the nick, eh?
20:29Shepton Mallet, you say?
20:30Call it a young woman.
20:31What year was this?
20:33Tempest Fuget.
20:35Time flies.
20:36Well, it must be 15 years ago.
20:38Well, look, you said you kept records, yeah?
20:40Now, wouldn't you have a note of when he was, uh, delivering for you?
20:43Hang on.
20:45Of course, in those days, I'd still give a job to a black.
20:48Still thought they were our colonial allies, you know, helped us win the war.
20:52You live and learn, don't you?
20:54Of course, Hitler was right.
20:56Purity of race.
20:58Belson must have been a guess.
21:00I didn't say he had the right methods.
21:01It's just the right idea.
21:02Purity of race.
21:03Before my turn.
21:05Yeah.
21:05The blacks are out there, beating on the gates.
21:08Not beating on my gate.
21:10Here I are.
21:11Here I are.
21:12E. Johnson here.
21:13Finished delivering for me in July 1955.
21:16They all stopped delivering papers once they start work.
21:1915 years old.
21:20National Service when he was 18.
21:22It's 1958.
21:23Oh.
21:24Always down to help, officer.
21:28So he used to box?
21:29Yeah, Acne Boys Club.
21:30Yeah, he was pretty good and all.
21:32Didn't come to anything, though.
21:34They never do, do they?
21:37Oi.
21:38You want to get him to give you a panda card next time?
21:40Come on.
21:50It'd be a scouse.
21:54Everton will.
21:58Everton Football Club.
22:00See, it's very common to call kids off their football teams, especially if they're having
22:04a good run.
22:05Well, then there won't be many called West knocking about, will there?
22:07Nor am, neither, I shouldn't think.
22:09Well, I'll have wages.
22:10You're having as a scouse.
22:12He's a spade.
22:14From London.
22:15They've got him in Liverpool, I know, haven't they?
22:17I mean, John Conte is a scouse.
22:19Didn't Mark and Barry want to call you Clapton?
22:21As a living memorial to his first allegiance, Clapton or Ian.
22:26You're on Skype, isn't you?
22:27Yeah.
22:28No, it's just that I was...
22:29Uh, hang on with it, I reckon.
22:32One of the advantages of my misspent youth.
22:34You know, that hurricane he is must have been draped up.
22:37I can never understand why you're such a lousy player, Jim.
22:39Jim.
22:43You and I are lucky, Jimbo.
22:45Lucky?
22:46Yeah, well, I mean, that is a bad enough nickname, but just think what the kids would have called
22:49you if your old man had had his wife and had christened you Clapton.
22:55Kids can be very cruel.
22:57Yeah, I'll remind them.
22:59Look, I'm desperate for a motor, Tal.
23:01Are you sure it's dropped you here?
23:02No, they won't pop you unless I'll take proceedings.
23:06What, a CRI client that's done your motor?
23:08Yeah.
23:09I was, uh, chatting to the governor of this carriage.
23:12He's got a stake.
23:1374, like mine.
23:15Said he'd have mine off me for spares for his.
23:17Hmm?
23:18How much?
23:18Three dollars.
23:19What?
23:20He's begging it.
23:21What else can I do?
23:22Got to be Dingwell's.
23:24What, a motor auction?
23:25Do leave off.
23:26I was down Dingwell's last Saturday.
23:28They knocked out a very tidy three litre over, bags of M.O.T., one and a half hundred.
23:33Yeah.
23:34It's a good motor.
23:36Meanwhile, I'm finding Everton Johnson on the hoof.
23:39I'll let you have the van, Jim, Jim, you know, but I've got to earn a crust, don't I?
23:43What's he got coming to him?
23:44Who's he looking for?
23:45Uh, you know, briefs of me who don't tell you nothing.
23:49I'll tell you what, who must want him finding?
23:50They've got this spade chick looking for him and all.
23:53Hmm?
23:53Who says?
23:54Oh, a couple of places I've been to who said they've had this spade bird looking.
23:58Asking questions about him.
24:00I mean, that's all I mean, didn't it?
24:01She finds him first, yours truly gets the elbow off the job.
24:05You know, this guy I'm working for, I'm sure I've seen him before.
24:11He's, uh, paraplegic.
24:13So what?
24:15In a wheelchair, paraplegic.
24:17See why you have dedicated you with a son crossword, Tom?
24:20Yours.
24:21Is he a poof, though?
24:23Me?
24:23No, I heard about this crippled poof.
24:25A couple of sailors, Paul.
24:27He was in a wheelchair.
24:29No, he's not an item.
24:31Uh, find his mum or dad, don't know where he is.
24:33No, I thought of that.
24:34They're dead.
24:35What, a pair of them?
24:36Yep.
24:37Standing in a bingo queue once a night.
24:41And some piss artist in the murk comes along,
24:43decides to join the queue.
24:44Huh, bingo.
24:46John's now her sister, but...
24:49Nice.
24:50Even her old man didn't know where she was.
24:52Didn't even know she had a brother, I ask you.
24:55Find her sister.
24:57Just let me do it my way, will you?
24:59Let me find Everton, the brother.
25:00You know, this table's about as level as a 13, Bob, no.
25:04I still reckon you're Everton's a scouse.
25:06I mean, I'd be up there.
25:07I mean, you're on X's.
25:09Might have caught for one of those liver birds.
25:12Oh.
25:13There goes.
25:14It's a great town, Liverpool.
25:15Yeah, no, it's a fab for a desperate to get back.
25:18Look at how gold he's here.
25:19Oh, look at what you've done.
25:21Look, tell, I've been hiking around that manor all week.
25:27He went to school in Acme.
25:29Yeah.
25:32Put his paper around in Acme.
25:35He worked at a parkside park in Acme.
25:39Boxed for Acme Boys Club.
25:40When he was in the National Service, he came home on leave.
25:42He came home on leave to...
25:44Hackney.
25:44Right, no way.
25:45Has Everton Johnson got anything to do with Liverpool?
25:48I'm only trying to be awkward, Jim Jim.
25:49Mind your way.
25:50Just a bit.
25:52Yeah, well, don't, eh?
25:55God.
25:58You, apart from that, you came from Shepton, Merrick.
26:00Oh, yeah, I'm a lick.
26:02How'd you know that?
26:03I'm not just a pretty face, Jim Jim.
26:05What'd he do?
26:06Whack an officer in a gentleman on a chin.
26:08Good for him.
26:09Yeah.
26:09He's got three years, GBH.
26:11And he didn't suspend his sentence.
26:12Yeah.
26:13Hard nicks the army, nicks.
26:15You know the ear, reckons they're the hardest they're not.
26:17And he should know.
26:18Well, I mean, the ear in the cake.
26:19Don't leave off.
26:20Yeah, did his National Service, did the ear.
26:22And he did Burling, Shepton, Mallet, and Colchester.
26:25The ear always reckons that's what caused him to start buying clients' ear holes for a living.
26:28You know, the going away from home shook him up so much.
26:31Patronised all Her Majesty's holiday camps in his time as ear.
26:34Yeah, do you know?
26:35They sent him a Christmas card from the scrubs.
26:38Christmas card.
26:40Well, I'd give him a pull.
26:42Oh, come on.
26:43At least you know where to find him, don't you?
26:45I mean, if this Everton's done a bit of boxing, the ear will know all about him.
26:48What have you got to lose?
26:50Thanks.
26:51Hold on.
26:53Watch this.
26:56Don't watch it.
26:58I think this is Phoenician blinds for you, my boy.
27:01Yeah.
27:07You're going to name your pocket, aren't you?
27:09I know the rules.
27:10I'm not so sure.
27:11What one?
27:12That one.
27:13Right.
27:15You want to get the drinks in?
27:16Two pints of lager, John.
27:19Give us a lift up, the old Kent Road, will it?
27:20Uh, take it to the Elephant.
27:22No.
27:23Thomas Obeckett.
27:44It's not a cab I'm running, right?
27:46Now, Jim, Jim, watch the burbles, right?
27:48Don't want you to tip for falling over your minces, do we?
27:51Thanks, Tel.
27:52You're a brick.
28:02Harry, the ear.
28:04Looks like everybody's favourite uncle, doesn't he?
28:06Mellowed with age, perhaps, but I wouldn't count on it.
28:10He's had a few bites at half a century of throw, as Harry.
28:12Fifty notes.
28:13That's what a lug hole's worth.
28:15That's what the station sergeant at Paddington Green copped in compensation when Uncle Harry over there took a bite out
28:20of him.
28:21One of the nasty pieces of human garbage, is Harry.
28:24Oh, well.
28:26Speculate or accumulate.
28:29Same again?
28:31G and T on the filth.
28:33You must have been away on holidays again, Harry.
28:36I got to give me red card, didn't I?
28:38Had an early bath.
28:39Dipping in the till, was you?
28:40Kind of buy bent filth.
28:43Look, when you was in Shepton Mallet, do you ever get banged up with...
28:45Who says I was in Shepton?
28:47Oh, records, Harry.
28:48I'm looking for a face.
28:49You out of filth?
28:51Old pal's egg.
28:52Old pal's egg.
28:53Piss off.
28:54Everton Johnson.
28:56I said...
28:57Who?
28:58Everton Johnson.
29:03Stopped Nick Giardello.
29:05First round.
29:06Southern area semis.
29:09Manor Place baths.
29:10I was there.
29:131958.
29:14At Welter.
29:17Johnson wasn't in Shepton with me.
29:19Got my DD56.
29:21Forgot my pay, but with dishonorable discharge across it.
29:24Ganner Everton Johnson.
29:26One of the crispest left hoops I've ever seen for an amateur.
29:33Ganner?
29:34Royal Artillery.
29:36RA.
29:38Felt the progress of the finals, though.
29:40Definitely wasn't at Wembley, because it was...
29:42Eric Timms and Dave Davison in the final.
29:45Timms on points.
29:47Would have made a good pro, wouldn't Timms,
29:48but he'd cut too easy.
29:49Pity.
29:51Well, why wasn't Johnson in the finals?
29:53I mean, if he'd won his semi.
29:55Must have been injured.
29:56Definitely Timms and Davison in the final.
29:58Johnson never turned pro.
30:00I mean, who managed it?
30:01Everton Johnson has no pro record.
30:04You sure?
30:05Of course I'm bleeding, sure.
30:08Tell you something else.
30:09He boxed Benny and all.
30:10Beat him on points.
30:12What?
30:13Benny Upstairs?
30:13Benny Wolfe?
30:14Correct.
30:15Ask me another.
30:16Come on.
30:16Holy boxy, mind.
30:17Come on.
30:20Shellfish and a bird.
30:20I said on boxing.
30:22Shellfish and a bird who's been heavyweight champions of Great Britain.
30:25You take the piss.
30:27You trying to be Flash?
30:28You want your lag nipping?
30:29It's been Harry.
30:31Cockle and woodcock.
30:34Cockle?
30:35Well, that's a shellfish, isn't it?
30:37I mean, you must have had a few cockles in your time, Harry.
30:40And a woodcock.
30:41Well, that's a bird, innit?
30:44Cockle and woodcock.
30:46Cockle and woodcock.
30:48Don and Bruce.
30:50Don, Cockle and Bruce Woodcock.
30:52A shellfish and a bird.
30:54It's a good'un.
30:56Tony, come here.
30:59All right.
31:01Double ice, just please.
31:02I'll get that.
31:03Is Benny still upstairs?
31:04Yeah.
31:04Plenty of ice.
31:05Thanks, Harry.
31:06For what?
31:07Everton Johnson.
31:10A shellfish and a bird was heavyweight champions of...
31:13Cockle and woodcock.
31:16It's common knowledge.
31:26That's nice.
31:27That's it.
31:29Kick your elbows, then.
31:31Jab, jab, jab.
31:35Yeah.
31:36Don't forget the visitor's box.
31:38Minimum half a quid.
31:39I only want a word, Benny.
31:40It'll cost you 20 quid to see this kid shortly at the Albert Hall.
31:44And don't just rattle it.
31:45Put it in.
31:4650p, Benny.
31:47My life.
31:50He's gonna be a good'un, this kid, Jim.
31:51You stand on me.
31:52I said that before.
31:53No, straight.
31:54This kid could be a champion.
31:58Don't lean on a rope.
32:00Jab and move, jab and move.
32:03That's better.
32:05Everton Johnson.
32:06Do you remember him?
32:07Remember him?
32:08Oh, I should say so.
32:09Have a look at that, look.
32:11You give me a right belt in.
32:12Why?
32:13I'm looking for him.
32:15What for?
32:16Oh, I've got this client.
32:17What's him finding?
32:18Hands up.
32:19Chin down.
32:21Be there was advantage, Benny.
32:23I mean, it's a brief who wants him finding.
32:25I'm not trying to lumber him or anything.
32:27Once a copper, always a copper.
32:30It's him.
32:30It's him.
32:31Work inside.
32:31Come on, work inside.
32:32Get the hooks going.
32:34Come on, hands out.
32:34Take your hands out.
32:35That's it.
32:36And I told you not to lean on the ropes.
32:42You'd want to tell me pork pies, would you, Jim?
32:44Do me a favour, Benny.
32:46I saw Everton Johnson at last year's ABAs.
32:49You sure?
32:50You don't forget someone who drew you as old as he had me.
32:56All right, I'm over here.
33:00Be a big help, Benny.
33:01I mean, I've been 20 years away from him so far.
33:04Did you talk to him?
33:05No, but I talked to his son.
33:07He was in the lightweight finals.
33:09The kid was walking.
33:10And, well, look, he got his mints nicked and the referee stopped it.
33:15That kid was choked.
33:17But what a left hook he had.
33:18Sweet as a nut.
33:20As he was coming out the ring, I said to him,
33:21who talked to you as a left hook like that?
33:23My old fellow, he said him over there.
33:25And when I looked, who was it?
33:26Everton Johnson.
33:27You sure it was him?
33:29It was Everton, all right.
33:30But the kid's name was Robbins.
33:32Clive Robbins.
33:33Out you come.
33:35Nice to meet you.
33:37That's good, that boss.
33:39So he's, uh, he's changed his name then?
33:42People do.
33:43To Robbins.
33:45Did you have a chat with the old man?
33:46Ask him why.
33:47Nothing to do with me, was it?
33:49Anyway, the kids I needed, see it?
33:52All I said to Everton was if he ever wants to turn pro,
33:55you know where to bring it.
33:57Put your bag gloves on and work on a bag.
34:02Where's your feet?
34:03All right.
34:04Sit-ups.
34:09Who's he boxing for?
34:11Bootle Boxing Club.
34:12Yeah.
34:13And if you go up there,
34:15see if they've got any other good boys, will you?
34:16We could do with some new blood down there.
34:20Oh, uh...
34:23Where's Bootle?
34:25Liverpool.
34:29I don't believe it.
34:47Here.
34:49Looks a lucky boy.
34:54She's waiting for you.
34:57Half a lager, please, darling.
35:01Miss Centrefold.
35:03Can I do that again?
35:04No, thank you.
35:08You're the lady who's been following me, aren't you?
35:11Isn't it the other way round?
35:12Well, what can I do for you?
35:15I just thought I'd take a closer look at the opposition.
35:19You approve?
35:20If I've had me moments, darling, you'd be surprised.
35:22There was never any accounting for taste.
35:25Excuse me.
35:26Uh, we could save each other a lot of legwork, you and me.
35:29I'd like to go up and see Mr. Wolfe, if you don't mind.
35:31The lady's not allowed in the changing room.
35:33I've seen naked men before.
35:35They're all the same, black or white.
35:37Not what I've heard.
35:37That's just the sort of racist remark I would expect from you.
35:41Look, you're wasting your time with Benny.
35:43He's never heard of him.
35:44Benny Wolfe boxed against Everton Johnson.
35:47Oh, who's done her own work?
35:49Give out the rulers.
35:50I'll tell you what Benny told me.
35:52I don't need favours from people who work for the British Patriots.
35:56Excuse me.
35:57Do what?
35:58I'm working for a solicitor called Baldwin, same as you.
36:01Richard Baldwin hasn't practised for years.
36:03He's a full-time executive of the BP.
36:06Do you really think the BP would employ me?
36:10Captain Richard Baldwin.
36:14British Patriots.
36:17Who are you working for?
36:18I'm a journalist on Race Quarterly.
36:21We're doing an in-depth study on him.
36:23Is there somewhere where we can talk?
36:24Seriously?
36:25My car's outside and the office isn't very far away.
36:30Got one for you.
36:31I said I got one.
36:34Capital City was heavyweight champion of Great Britain.
36:37London.
36:38Brian London.
36:46But if you're researching Baldwin, why are you looking for Johnson?
36:50It was Everton Johnson who put Baldwin in a wheelchair.
36:53No, no.
36:53It was Naoka Gunman putting him in a wheelchair.
36:56That's what the BP would like you to think.
37:03Baldwin was wounded in Cyprus, not paralysed.
37:06He subsequently served in both Germany and the UK.
37:09I told Baldwin I knew the Cyprus story was rubbish.
37:13He knows you're investigating him.
37:15Of course.
37:16I've interviewed him several times.
37:18I suppose he guessed I would eventually turn up Everton Johnson.
37:22So what does he do?
37:23Hires you to find him first.
37:26A man he hasn't seen for 20 years.
37:29I must get hold of Everton Johnson before Baldwin and his bully boy shut him up.
37:34How's Johnson responsible for Baldwin being paralysed?
37:38Well, according to the transcript of the court-martial...
37:42You mean Baldwin was the officer that he attacked?
37:45Hmm.
37:46Johnson struck him and Baldwin fell onto a small iron fencing post which severed his spinal cord.
37:56Everton Johnson's in Liverpool.
37:58I've been to Liverpool.
37:59There's no trace of him.
38:01I look everywhere.
38:02How'd you know he was there?
38:04His sister.
38:05Look, I've been there.
38:07Nothing.
38:07How'd you find her?
38:09Through the local family aid association.
38:12Wasn't very difficult.
38:14Well, it looks like you'll be going to Liverpool again.
38:17Why?
38:18Because Everton Johnson's changed his name to Robbins.
38:21Who told you that?
38:23Never devolves the sources of your information.
38:26Benny.
38:27If that's true, I could kiss you.
38:31Be my guest.
38:34What are you going to do?
38:35Well, while you're up in Liverpool, I'm going to find myself a new motor.
38:42Real lever?
38:43Of course it's real lever.
38:45In wood.
38:46You can have a look in.
38:46Yeah.
38:54Oh, look at that.
38:58Look at that.
39:17Trail for the Jagger.
39:18Jagger 2.4.
39:19There he goes.
39:20Off the way of wiring it.
39:22Currently, I'm going to be able to start the line.
39:24I'm going to move back.
39:25And then, no method.
39:2763.
39:272.4 Jagger.
39:28I have a plan to do your love.
39:30Copy around 3.
39:30Where do I have a valid?
39:31You at 50?
39:324.50.
39:33Yeah, you're in the center.
39:3360 if you like it.
39:34You know it.
39:354.60 and 7.8.
39:36How are you with it?
39:364.70, yeah.
39:37Yeah.
39:3880 minutes.
39:384.80.
39:394.90.
39:404.90 and 5.
39:41500 pound and 10.
39:435.10.
39:445.20.
39:445.10 and I sell it and it goes.
39:46You want my head for no?
39:465.10 for the first.
39:485.10 for the second.
39:49Anybody else yes or no?
39:50Down the last start.
39:51Ooh.
39:515.30.
39:525.30 roll on.
39:535.30 big with you.
39:545.30 and selling for the last.
39:565.30 for the second.
39:57You don't quite sure.
39:58Down the last.
39:585.30 you're on.
40:02Not bad.
40:04Not bad at all.
40:06Classic motor.
40:07Walnut fascia.
40:08Real lever seats.
40:11Tasty.
40:13And a lot of poke.
40:16Oops.
40:17Brakes need taking up a net.
40:19Two minute job.
40:22Collector's item.
40:43Spend a few bob on her.
40:44Be as good as gold.
41:09Spend a few bob on her.
41:18Very trendy.
41:20Media lady.
41:21Maintenance work on the line.
41:23British rail.
41:24No buffet either.
41:26I'm starving.
41:27I found him, James.
41:29Well, what do you think?
41:31Richard Baldwin is politically dead.
41:33The motor.
41:35Of course.
41:37It's very nice, James.
41:39I didn't know they still made those.
41:53What's this say?
41:54Let's go.
42:31There's nothing more than expecting you.
42:33He'll see me.
43:03Let's go.
43:19Let's go.
43:20Let's go.
43:22Thank you, Jackson.
43:24Well, Mr. Hazel, have you come to help us protect your heritage?
43:34I have a checkbook, Samantha.
43:37You didn't find him after all, I take it?
43:40You billed for four days, plus expenses.
43:42But don't graft for scum.
43:46We are a respectable political party, Mr. Hazel.
43:50Just do the business, Squire, will you?
43:58Two L's in, Hazel.
44:04Yes, as a matter of fact, I've only just returned from Dagenham
44:07where I've been canvassing Ford's night shift workers on behalf of our
44:11prospective parliamentary candidate.
44:14There must be a by-election down there.
44:19Here we are.
44:21Get one of my honor guards to show Mr. Hazel out, Samantha.
44:24One of those bunch of yobbos down there.
44:26A necessary precaution in a very sick society.
44:29It's not a society, this sick, Squire.
44:31Gangs of black youths roaming the streets, robbing old ladies.
44:34Oh, yeah?
44:35When was the last time you was robbed, darling?
44:37Samantha was merely raped.
44:39By a black, of course.
44:40One was black.
44:41The other three were quite white.
44:43The streets are getting out of control, Hazel.
44:46You really believe all that Hitler crap?
44:48Dr. Goebbels, actually.
44:49Oh, yeah.
44:50Mein Kampf, your book at bedtime.
44:52Is that why you picked an old Jewish school to fester in?
44:57You see, Samantha,
44:59one of the least redeeming traits of the British proletariat
45:03is its total lack of any sense of irony.
45:07Goodbye, Hazel.
45:09British proletariat found Ewerton Johnson, Squire.
45:12With a little help from a lady from Race Quarterly.
45:15Oh!
45:17The muck-raking Sanginope bitch.
45:20That lady knows who put you in a wheelchair.
45:23And it wasn't an Aoka gunman.
45:25How Richard was paralyzed was never a secret.
45:27Merely the gutter press failing to check their facts as usual.
45:30Yes, indeed, that's true.
45:31The full revelation cannot pursue our purposes, Hazel.
45:35Johnson is black.
45:36And why keep it quiet for 20 years?
45:38Because Richard's always refused to trade on public sympathy.
45:41Because of a vicious, wanton attack by a drunken black animal.
45:45Young fighters, black or white, don't get drunk a few nights before the ABA finals, darling.
45:49Johnson did.
45:51Yeah.
45:52And you disciplined him by dropping him from the regimental boxing team?
45:54That is correct.
45:56And for that he struck me.
45:57Young fighter.
45:58Just made the finals at welterweight.
46:00There were many better fighters than him in the team, Hazel.
46:04Yeah.
46:06You really liked your boys, didn't you?
46:09Sparred with them sometimes.
46:10I mean, you've been regimental champion.
46:13Sparred with them.
46:14Rubbed them down.
46:16Didn't even mind if they were black in those days, did you?
46:19I'll tell you why he kept it quiet for 20 years, darling.
46:22Him.
46:23And his boys.
46:25What are you suggesting?
46:27Doing them little favors?
46:29Special foods?
46:30Getting them off guard duty?
46:31I warn you, Hazel, there is such a thing as a law of slander.
46:35Little get-togethers.
46:36In your quarters.
46:38Get out.
46:40Johnson wasn't having any, was he?
46:42Oh, no.
46:42He wasn't gonna stand for a little anky-panky in your quarters.
46:45Captain Richard Baldwin got the dead needle to him.
46:47Oh, he was in the ABA finals, all right.
46:49But there was no way he was gonna get to Wembley.
46:51You'd see to that.
46:53You'd have him on a charge and into that guardroom if it killed you.
46:55And it bloody nearly did.
46:56You had him cut in the lawn with a pair of nail scissors.
47:00Get Jackson!
47:03And you stood over him and told him to work like the nigger that he was.
47:07But Gunnar Johnson had had enough.
47:09He stood up and popped you right on the chin.
47:20He was very disappointed, you see, about being dropped from the boxing team.
47:24He was very sorry.
47:25Now whose fairy story is this of yours?
47:28Oh, it's a fairy story, all right.
47:30But it's true.
47:31Gunnar Johnson lied at his court-martial because you did a deal with him.
47:36I don't do deals with blacks.
47:39You wrote to him from the Stoke Mandeville spinal unit saying that he wouldn't say what had been going on
47:43with you and your boys.
47:44Say he was drunk.
47:45You'd speak up for him in his behalf, you remember that?
47:51Unsubstantiated fabrications.
47:52Your black journalist friend is going to have to do rather better than that.
47:56And she knows it!
47:58She's got enough evidence to see you off, Squire.
48:00Because she's got the letter.
48:02Johnson kept it.
48:03In case you came after him for personal damages.
48:07Leading member of the BP.
48:08Hinted a dinge.
48:10That's gonna look good in the Sundays.
48:13Oh!
48:14Oh!
48:19Cough.
48:20And you're next.
48:22Don't make exceptions.
48:23Not even for cripples.
48:30Last time I was in the Ed study, it was me who got three of the best.
48:39Well, how about a tandoori, eh?
48:40Soul food.
48:41Make you feel at home.
48:42I was born here, remember?
48:47Bubble and squeak and a bottle of retzina.
48:50Huh?
48:51Don't fancy it?
48:52Well, how about, uh, Japanese?
48:55No.
48:55No, I don't fancy raw fish.
48:57Have you ever tried it?
48:59No, I'm not about to start, either.
49:02Ah, too old at calories.
49:04Let's have a drop of pasta.
49:05Spaghetti vongole.
49:07Anything you like.
49:09I'm easy.
49:09Except the raw fish, eh?
49:11Huh.
49:11It's a funny thing, you know.
49:12Times change.
49:14When I was a kid round here, all you could get was fish and chips.
49:17I like fish and chips.
49:22I like fish and chips.
49:22I've, uh, got bread.
49:29I don't know how you can take it from him.
49:32It's easy.
49:33You close your eyes, you think of England.
49:40Where are we going?
49:41We're fighting glory leaders.
49:44We're fighting glory leaders.
