00:00:01For God's sake, Dad, there's a revolution going on!
00:00:05What?
00:00:06Can't you try and understand?
00:00:07Understand what?
00:00:08You don't like the government so you hoy bombs up, people?
00:00:12Who used to be chairman of Edwards Overseas?
00:00:15Finest idea, Ron.
00:00:17Claude Seabrook.
00:00:18The man I should be investigating is now in charge of the Metropolitan Police Force.
00:00:22Everything points to widespread systematic corruption.
00:00:27Smell it.
00:00:28Touch it.
00:00:31How far out, Roy?
00:00:33I don't know.
00:00:35You know, one simple piece of local government reform,
00:00:38the payment to elected officers of a modest salary,
00:00:41would overnight do away with a vast amount of petty corruption.
00:00:44Is there a vast amount, Mr Donoghue?
00:00:46Do you doubt it, Mr Conrad?
00:00:48Well, no more council plots for us, Bert, I'm telling you.
00:00:52What have you done?
00:00:53Bought a shop.
00:00:55Could you do me one small favour?
00:00:58You're under arrest.
00:01:00The possession of obscene material.
00:01:02Do you know?
00:04:02You may already have heard the details of these.
00:04:05We are asking you to cut down to the absolute minimum the use of electricity for heating and for other
00:04:12purposes in your homes.
00:04:14We are limiting the use of electricity by almost all factories, shops and offices to three days a week.
00:04:23Well, he'd go to the country, do you think?
00:04:25He'd rather bring in the troops?
00:04:26I'd win if he does. A blind man can see who benefits from this.
00:04:30Power, Dad. If Parliament went on strike, anybody would notice.
00:04:35Here. I know you're not a subscriber, but...
00:04:39Whatever you're doing in there, Mother, stop it.
00:04:43Have you seen the cut of that kitchen, Felix?
00:04:47Well, now we're going to the club or not.
00:04:50We're going to miss the bingo, you know.
00:04:51People bury this off you.
00:04:54Has your volume broke?
00:04:56Very good way of watching TV.
00:04:58The pictures show you what they want you to believe.
00:05:01The words are a diversion, man.
00:05:04You're changing your tune again, aren't you?
00:05:06Support Labour.
00:05:07There's an election looming.
00:05:08Eh.
00:05:10The thought the line was, if we're going to be ruled by Tories,
00:05:12let's be ruled by proper Tories, not Tories in drag.
00:05:16So you do read it?
00:05:19Are you telling me they don't tell the truth on TV?
00:05:23Why should they?
00:05:25What's in it for that?
00:05:26Was it you dropped him on his head or me?
00:05:31Here we go.
00:05:40Oh, will the lift be working?
00:05:42Yeah, they work on gas, Mother.
00:05:50Keep your salt as a patete, if you...
00:06:01Tell me again about Edward's system building.
00:06:07Edward's system building was a response to the housing shortage of the early 60s.
00:06:13Years of greed and neglect that left people living in squalor.
00:06:18That's corruption, Inspector Conrad.
00:06:20They're the people who ought to be going to prison.
00:06:23The property developers, the slum landlords.
00:06:28I was voted into power to do something about it.
00:06:33To get houses built.
00:06:34Which fell to bits.
00:06:36I didn't mix the concrete.
00:06:38You fixed the contracts.
00:06:40You bought people.
00:06:41Edward's gave you the money and said,
00:06:43right, this month we want a couple more MPs.
00:06:45Town clerk here, a civic architect there,
00:06:48a couple of dozen town councillors.
00:06:49Oh, it doesn't matter what colour.
00:06:51Twelve of each, right?
00:06:53Right!
00:06:56Edward is bankrupt now.
00:06:58It's time to settle your account, Mr Donoghue.
00:07:00And will your new governors let you talk to Lord Seabrook this time, Mr Conrad?
00:07:05They won't be able to stop me.
00:07:13Mr. Jellicoat.
00:07:14Mr. Jellicoat.
00:07:14Mr. Jellicoat.
00:07:15Mr. Jellicoat, sir.
00:07:16Yes, sir.
00:07:17Mr. Jellicoat.
00:07:18Mr. Jellicoat.
00:07:19Mr. Jellicoat.
00:07:20Mr. Jellicoat, sir.
00:07:21Mr. Jellicoat.
00:07:22Have you been made welcome in London?
00:07:24Of course. May I introduce Commander Arthur Fieldson, also a provincial, also being made welcome, as will the changes and
00:07:36the way the Metropolitan Police Force goes about its business from now on.
00:07:39How soon will we see these changes, Commander?
00:07:44They've already begun.
00:07:54Get her out of the back! You two inside! There!
00:08:04Don't push!
00:08:05Where are you going?
00:08:08Get out of here!
00:08:09Get out! DCI void!
00:08:24Oi!
00:08:26Oh, for the total of us!
00:08:30Oi!
00:08:35What's going on?
00:08:38What do you remember?
00:08:39Open!
00:08:40Fuck off!
00:08:42All right. Calm down.
00:08:44I'll move you.
00:09:10Where's Barrett?
00:09:12Who?
00:09:35We celebrate. This is our first major success. I want this lot in the tank tonight. Showing off
00:09:43their battle stars.
00:09:53The whole place is being taken over by wankers.
00:10:00If Jellicoe is just going to allow this lot to go running round so-ho, busting anyone
00:10:04they like, then there's no point in having a dirty squad. I'm going to ask for a transfer.
00:10:10Can't you do something, Harold?
00:10:14It's all over, John.
00:10:28It's cheating if you pray.
00:10:31I'm not praying.
00:10:34I wouldn't involve almighty God in bending a spoon.
00:10:39How is your work?
00:10:42Excellent. I'm organising a rent strike.
00:10:45Are those flats all you ever think about? I meant your real job.
00:10:50Oh, that? We're on short time.
00:10:51So are we.
00:10:53Oh, that's ridiculous if you ask me.
00:10:56Three day a week.
00:10:58There's seven days in a week.
00:11:00No matter what Mr Heath says.
00:11:02You're a dangerous subversive, Mother.
00:11:07I never thought you'd end up in a sausage factory.
00:11:15She's part of a worldwide conspiracy called the Church of Rome.
00:11:18Run by this mysterious Italian bloke with a false name and number.
00:11:22You're dressed up as a woman and all.
00:11:25You need that, sir.
00:11:37Tyneside MP Arthur Watson has announced that he will be retiring at the next general election.
00:11:42Here he is being interviewed.
00:11:43Hear about Arthur Watson?
00:11:45Early retirement.
00:11:47Why shouldn't he retire?
00:11:49He's not retiring.
00:11:51He's getting out before they chuck him in prison.
00:11:54He was on Edward's payroll.
00:12:00Is he right the police is after us and Donahue?
00:12:04Yeah.
00:12:10Well...
00:12:10So is he right?
00:12:13Yeah.
00:12:13It's a toxic early world when a 17-year-old plasterer earns more than a six...
00:12:18Can the police be knocking on your door?
00:12:22I kept out of all that.
00:12:24Here.
00:12:26Busters.
00:12:27Oh, Mother, I've got a fridge full of sausages, ma'am.
00:12:30Liberate them, did you?
00:12:31They're not for you.
00:12:33Take them to Mary Cox.
00:12:35What?
00:12:36What?
00:12:36Oh, they won't want your bread buns, woman.
00:12:39Tosca must be one of the richest men in the bloody country.
00:12:42The price he charges for his...
00:12:44That is, I know.
00:12:46I don't care if he's open ten more shops.
00:12:50Mary likes my busters.
00:12:52Just go round, say hello for your mommy.
00:13:05Hear that?
00:13:07Pinching sausages.
00:13:08Well, we've had a lot worse, Felix.
00:13:12A lot worse.
00:13:14Mmm.
00:13:19I hear you used to be on the stage, Tosca.
00:13:22Oh, well.
00:13:23I heard you were really good.
00:13:25Yeah.
00:13:27I was okay.
00:13:29I could have made a go a bit eventually, like, but, er...
00:13:32I had a family to look after.
00:13:35So...
00:13:36Sacrifices were necessary.
00:13:40Ay, Mary.
00:13:41I think that's dead romantic.
00:13:48Oh, no, that's not your dad, is it?
00:13:55Well, since her mother kicked the book that her dad has been round here none-stop.
00:14:01Hello.
00:14:03Come here.
00:14:05Erm, my mother sent some busters.
00:14:07Oh, excellent.
00:14:13Oh, beautiful.
00:14:16Here.
00:14:17Smell that, Tosca.
00:14:32Raising property?
00:14:35Uh-huh.
00:14:37What are you in, Nicky?
00:14:40Sausages.
00:14:42And newspapers.
00:14:44Yeah.
00:14:46The sausages pay for the newspaper side of the empire.
00:14:49Oh.
00:14:51What's the name of the business?
00:14:54Regal Meat Products.
00:15:03I don't own the sausages.
00:15:05I just wheel the boxes into the fridges.
00:15:08Oh, I've taken a notice.
00:15:10He used to be number two to Austin Donahue, weren't I?
00:15:13You're kidding.
00:15:14Ay, there's a man I'd like to have met.
00:15:17Has he died?
00:15:18Is it right he's gonna be arrested?
00:15:20Either.
00:15:20People whose names have come out to do with that builder.
00:15:22What's in there with that one that's just retired?
00:15:25Er, they reckon he was at it and all.
00:15:27I...
00:15:28Arthur Watson.
00:15:29That's it.
00:15:30I'm secretary of his constituency party.
00:15:34Oh, fuck.
00:15:39Hey, they're all at it, man, Paula.
00:15:41Every one of them up there running the show on the telly.
00:15:44Rubbish.
00:15:46I beg your pardon?
00:15:49Donahue did a lot of good things.
00:15:52He did us a good turn.
00:15:54Like when?
00:15:56He got us out of that flat, didn't he?
00:15:59He got when to the bloody flat?
00:16:02That was me, actually.
00:16:06And what's this?
00:16:11Well, this is when we were getting started, like.
00:16:14When we had to live in a council flat.
00:16:15What?
00:16:16Oh, and we started off in a council house, didn't we, Ray?
00:16:19Oh, yes.
00:16:20No shaming that, as far as I'm concerned.
00:16:27Look, what is so funny?
00:16:35Nothing.
00:16:43Actually...
00:16:47Nicky lives in the flat we used to have.
00:16:51That's a coincidence, isn't it?
00:16:53No, I chose it.
00:16:55Had me pick.
00:16:56Anybody wanted them when they reopened.
00:17:00Were they the ones that felt the bits?
00:17:07Oh, I'll just put the kettle on, shall I?
00:17:12Excuse me.
00:17:23I can't stand them.
00:17:27Amy, mother says you've started a law degree.
00:17:30Yeah.
00:17:32Fantastic.
00:17:33What, you'll be a solicitor?
00:17:34Oh, if I get there, there's years of it.
00:17:36No Fs.
00:17:38OK.
00:17:42What about you?
00:17:45I'm OK.
00:17:47Good.
00:17:51Life's good, isn't it?
00:17:53Life's...
00:17:54good.
00:17:56My dad's a problem.
00:17:58He's lonely.
00:18:01Tusker's driving Anthony to suicide by making them play the drums all the time.
00:18:06We've lost our sitting member with the election due any minute.
00:18:10I've got two kids to raise and a CLP to run single-handed, but...
00:18:14apart from that, I'm happy.
00:18:35Tosker sent us in to give you a hand.
00:18:57Tosker sent us in to give you a hand.
00:18:59I'll need an agent, Felix.
00:19:06Do you not think the time's come for we're both?
00:19:17How long are you gonna sit on your hands?
00:19:22What happened to that lad that marched to London?
00:19:26Eh?
00:19:28He's got a total lesson he never forgot.
00:19:33It's important, you know.
00:19:36Aye, I know.
00:19:37We're losing people, man.
00:19:39Young people.
00:19:40Working class lads and lasses.
00:19:43When it came automatic to us, it was in our blood, but...
00:19:47It's not like that today.
00:19:50I mean, you hear them.
00:19:52Let it all hang out, brother.
00:19:53Everybody do their own thing.
00:19:57I mean, they believe this shite because nobody, nobody says to them
00:20:00certain things are right and certain things are wrong.
00:20:03Believe it's all corrupt and all.
00:20:06Man, they have a bloody good right to.
00:20:10Well, then why don't we show them it, isn't there?
00:20:26I remember that time me and you fought them lads in the big market for making fascist salutes.
00:20:36They have bloody killed me if you want jumping in.
00:20:39Get away.
00:20:40They were puffs, a pair of them.
00:20:43One punch.
00:20:58Right, I'll come in.
00:21:01We'll give it one more try.
00:21:05Yes, you old bugger!
00:21:07Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:21:25Explanation, Harold.
00:21:32Stay here for a while.
00:21:34Till it cools down.
00:21:37How long?
00:21:39Year or two.
00:21:41I've got businesses to run.
00:21:44Not anymore.
00:21:49What am I charged with?
00:21:53Nothing.
00:21:54Nothing?
00:21:55They didn't have a warrant to arrest you, just a search warrant. They're fishing.
00:21:59It would take a genius to prove that you owned anything, but...
00:22:03they would pull you in for questioning.
00:22:05What do I care?
00:22:06So PC Plod questions me.
00:22:09They mean business, Benny.
00:22:12The yard's out of control these days.
00:22:16Why risk it?
00:22:19You're all right here.
00:22:24It's party time, Benny.
00:22:27All right.
00:22:31Hey, make yourself at home.
00:22:34We'll be late back.
00:22:41When the Met's longest-serving detective decides to retire, it makes you worry that the whole building will collapse and
00:22:47fall into the sea.
00:22:50It's actuarial, sir.
00:22:52Done my arithmetic.
00:22:53Staying on to the bitter end won't improve my pension by a penny.
00:22:58Will you be chasing the sun, Harold?
00:23:02No.
00:23:04A little, um, cottage in Hampshire will do me in her.
00:23:10Well, no doubt we'll be sending you off properly in due course, so I'll save the speech.
00:23:23No chance you'll change your mind, then?
00:23:25No.
00:23:26No chance.
00:23:35Well?
00:23:36It's hard to get real evidence.
00:23:38The one lead I thought I had has left the country.
00:23:42Behind him?
00:23:43I know exactly where he is.
00:23:45But we don't have an extradition treaty with Spain.
00:23:49We have to wait for him to come back.
00:24:01If anybody asks, I don't want a clock.
00:24:05But I wouldn't mind a barometer.
00:24:08If I ever go, you go with me.
00:24:12Wherever you are.
00:24:30What is going on?
00:24:35We will get you.
00:24:36So I have to sit down for a moment.
00:24:36He has to sit down for some minutes.
00:24:36I'm going to take a minute.
00:24:36You've got to take a minute.
00:24:36Let's shine an eye.
00:24:36Let me go.
00:24:36Put it in my hand.
00:24:36There is no light.
00:24:36Oh, yeah.
00:24:41It's gonna work.
00:24:48There is no light.
00:24:48There's no light.
00:24:48It's going on.
00:24:49There's no light.
00:24:55Was it a merry Christmas, Mr. Conrad?
00:24:59Yes, thank you.
00:25:03Mexico, 1968.
00:25:05I opened an office there.
00:25:07And Geneva, Beirut.
00:25:11We had work on the books worth two billion pounds.
00:25:14None of which ever got built.
00:25:16At least you got value for money from Donoghue.
00:25:20The President's brother.
00:25:22Did Seabrook arrange that?
00:25:24He would get in touch with our embassy, wherever we were,
00:25:27and say, arrange such and such a meeting,
00:25:29and hey, presto, doors opened.
00:25:32What else did Seabrook do?
00:25:36This is us in Abu Dhabi.
00:25:38What else did Seabrook do?
00:25:41Did he pay the brimes?
00:25:43Commissions.
00:25:45Was he physically present when money changed hands?
00:25:50Claude's a double first from Oxford, Mr. Conrad.
00:26:01I've drawn up the first batch of charges against you
00:26:03concerning the contracts in the north of England.
00:26:05This country's finished.
00:26:07When running a business is a crime,
00:26:09and power workers and miners are allowed to hold the nation to ransom,
00:26:12that's anarchy.
00:26:14There'll be an election.
00:26:15Things are settled down for another five years.
00:26:17It's the army we want, not an election.
00:26:19You've seen my files.
00:26:20You know all about elections.
00:26:23The constituency party's vote was as follows.
00:26:27Joseph's 24 votes.
00:26:29Wells, 16 votes.
00:26:32Yes!
00:26:35I declare Gladstone Jones was truly elected
00:26:39as the Labour candidate for a time of pledge constituency.
00:26:47Bloody Scotsman.
00:26:49Bloody company director.
00:26:53What now?
00:26:55Well, I don't know.
00:26:59Fight it, man.
00:27:00Stand as an independent, eh?
00:27:02Aye.
00:27:03We can't stop now.
00:27:07Go on, Eddie.
00:27:08You can do it.
00:27:09Go on.
00:27:15Hey, comrades, you're on.
00:27:16Aye.
00:27:18Aye.
00:27:19Aye.
00:27:20Aye.
00:27:20Aye.
00:27:21Aye.
00:27:21Aye.
00:27:23Aye.
00:27:28Aye.
00:27:29I thought you might.
00:27:30I'm glad.
00:27:32Well, that's about a dozen of us so far.
00:27:34We few.
00:27:35We happy few.
00:27:36We band of brothers.
00:27:40Eddie, I supported your nomination, but you lost to a fair vote.
00:27:44I must back the official Labour Party candidate.
00:27:48Fair enough.
00:27:56Bloody Scotsman.
00:27:58What a bunch of time service, eh?
00:28:02Eddie, will you stand?
00:28:05Yep.
00:28:07Good.
00:28:08I want a campaign for you in five bridges.
00:28:11Oh, yeah?
00:28:11Very influential paper, Eddie.
00:28:13Circulation of 186 and rising.
00:28:17I thought Parliament was a sham.
00:28:20I'd rather see you get elected than another one of John Edward's poodles.
00:28:24I don't want you hurt, Nicky.
00:28:27Thanks.
00:28:27Thank you very much.
00:29:04I was at a rally in the guild hall there.
00:29:08Aye, aye. You missed a great speech.
00:29:11Yeah, who?
00:29:12Me.
00:29:14What did you see?
00:29:16Support the miners. Support the power workers.
00:29:20Resist Heath's attack on the labour movement.
00:29:24Of course, I spoke from the floor.
00:29:27I can't be on the platform now.
00:29:29I don't exist anymore.
00:29:35What's happening?
00:29:37Edwards has started to sing.
00:29:40The names are pouring out.
00:29:41He's got it all on file.
00:29:44Like Nixon.
00:29:45Will you survive us?
00:29:47They've waited for years for this.
00:29:49For what, exactly?
00:29:51For revenge, bunny lad.
00:29:54Revenge.
00:30:14What else is going on?
00:30:15Sorry, my mistake.
00:30:16I used to live here once.
00:30:25Georgie?
00:30:41Georgie?
00:30:45Plenty of the place's done out.
00:30:58Do you still work for him?
00:31:00I rent this place from him.
00:31:09Georgie, a lot of people felt bad about what happened.
00:31:14If he just got out...
00:31:19I don't suppose he's got anywhere to stay.
00:31:49Where is he? What happened to all the shops?
00:31:55You're out of touch, aren't you?
00:32:02You're the only one that didn't treat us like shit.
00:32:09And I fancied you like mad.
00:32:14Are you real?
00:32:15Are you?
00:32:22Why don't you come find out?
00:32:27OK.
00:32:29One.
00:32:30Two.
00:32:31Three.
00:32:32Four.

00:33:17I was supposed to be meeting Ray an hour ago.
00:33:21Tosca, listen...
00:33:22No, no, no!
00:33:23He doesn't try, man!
00:33:25He doesn't want to keep coming second of being you.
00:33:27He wants to come first of being himself.
00:33:46He means well, son.
00:33:49It's just...
00:33:51You know, he's really keen for you to...
00:33:53He's a bastard!
00:33:54It's my ambition to kill him!
00:33:56Amy, shush.
00:34:01We'll talk about it tomorrow.
00:34:05We'll discuss weapons.
00:34:14Oh!

00:40:44this is God's honest truth
00:40:50not one person came to see us
00:40:55I didn't get a visitor
00:40:57I didn't get a visitor in three year man
00:41:01I must have B.O.
00:41:06have I got B.O.
00:41:09I got B.O.
00:41:26I got B.O.
00:41:34I got B.O.
00:41:40I got B.O.
00:41:45I got B.O.
00:42:03I got B.O.
00:42:13Where are you going?
00:42:18I've still got work left to do.
00:42:34I've, er, I've tried to straighten up a bit.
00:42:39I'm really sorry, I'm ashamed of meself.
00:42:42Look, when the bank's open, I'll try and get me hands on some money, pay you back for
00:42:45the carpet.
00:42:48It isn't mine.
00:42:55What are you doing?
00:42:57Don't wait for Barrett.
00:43:01OK?
00:43:02Because he's not coming back.
00:43:04He should suffer like I did.
00:43:08Yeah, but that's not the way the world works, though, is it?
00:43:34Yes, well, this is all nonsense.
00:43:36How can I help?
00:43:38It's partly a question of dates, Lord Suebrooke.
00:43:41No, it isn't.
00:43:43With all due respect, Inspector, it isn't a question of dates.
00:43:47It's a question of smear and innuendo.
00:43:50Donoghue says that I spoke in the House on matters of material benefit to John Edwards.
00:43:54In other words, I abused my position when I sat in the Commons to enrich myself and my associates.
00:44:00Now, let us say that that were true, which it is not.
00:44:05It would not in any case constitute a crime, unless the law of absolute privilege for members
00:44:10speaking in the House has been amended without my knowledge.
00:44:12No, sir.
00:44:13No.
00:44:14Good.
00:44:15Good.
00:44:16Could you clarify for me what your role was as chairman?
00:44:19My role was to obtain foreign contracts for a British building firm.
00:44:25I must say I had no idea that running an export company at a time of acute balance of payments
00:44:30deficit
00:44:30was a matter for criminal investigation, but we live in remarkable times.
00:44:35Might I ask how you obtained these contracts?
00:44:38I'm afraid I don't follow.
00:44:39Large sums of money were spent, it seems.
00:44:42Rarely, I find this grotesque.
00:44:44Was I supposed to travel to Africa on a bicycle, sleep in a tent?
00:44:48I think Lord Seabrook knows I am not talking about his expenses.
00:44:52I'm talking about money which has not been properly accounted for.
00:44:55Such as?
00:44:55Money debited as commissions paid to foreign nationals.
00:44:58Oh, good heavens, man, if you mean bribes, say so!
00:45:01What would you call them?
00:45:04Money debited as commissions and thereby accounted for.
00:45:08I think we'd better leave it there for today.
00:45:15He's guilty, isn't he?
00:45:17I've got nothing that would stand up in court.
00:45:19Then I should be allowed to take a crowbar to Seabrook's bank statements.
00:45:23I'll fight for this. This is a resignation issue for me.
00:45:26Never mind all that.
00:45:28I want you to stop buggering about with Donoghue.
00:45:31No doubt about him anymore.
00:45:33Get him into court.
00:45:35As many of you will have heard already,
00:45:38Her Majesty the Queen agreed today to my request that Parliament should be dissolved.
00:45:42As a result, there will now be a general election on February the 28th.
00:45:52All right, come on.
00:45:54There you are.
00:45:55This is your chance to meet the winner of next Thursday's election.
00:46:00All right, come on.
00:46:03All right, come on.
00:46:06There you are.
00:46:09All right.
00:46:10All right.
00:46:10All right.
00:46:12All right.
00:46:12All right.
00:46:12Hello, Pet.
00:46:13Are you going to vote for me or not?
00:46:14I am not.
00:46:16I'll not be voting for anybody.
00:46:17I've watched us all on TV.
00:46:20One says this and one says the other.
00:46:22You're all fighting amongst yourselves and we gets left out.
00:46:25Well, you not trust me.
00:46:26I've been a counsellor for 21 years, you know.
00:46:28I know you have.
00:46:30I know you have, Pet.
00:46:31I knew you were mother.
00:46:34And I knew your wife.
00:46:36I used to do a hair for her.
00:46:38I did a hair the days she married you.
00:46:41I bet you didn't know that, did you?
00:46:43No, I didn't.
00:46:44I'd rather admit you, come here.
00:46:48Oh, well, maybe I'll vote for you after all.
00:46:51Just for all time, sir.
00:46:52All right, mate.
00:46:53Eddie.
00:47:02Eddie Wells has had a drink problem since he crashed his car in 1956
00:47:07and killed his wife and daughter.
00:47:11That's a fact.
00:47:13Did you actually say that?
00:47:18Did you say it?
00:47:28You're not fit to lick Eddie's boots.
00:47:33I hope you lose.
00:47:49Complete disgrace.
00:47:52The satire in the flask, Nicky.
00:48:08Why?
00:48:14What reason has anyone got to see that?
00:48:19Eh?
00:48:26I can see no sense on days like this.
00:48:31We're back in the dark ages.
00:48:35Anything's possible.
00:48:38Except the things we really want.
00:48:42Except the things we really want.
00:48:44I know you mistrust me, Eddie.
00:48:47You all do, really.
00:48:49And I know why.
00:48:54And I know you grew up in a hard world.
00:48:59But I've grown up in a sick one.
00:49:03And I don't feel part of anything that will ever change that.
00:49:13And sometimes I see no hope, really.
00:49:43There's a pint of ordinary.
00:49:48Felix.
00:49:51Awesome.
00:50:00Cheers.
00:50:02Yes.
00:50:09I have a favour to ask you.
00:50:11Name it.
00:50:13But it better be quick.
00:50:14Heh.
00:50:17Nicky.
00:50:19Needs to push Austin.
00:50:23From someone he looks up to.
00:50:47Jesus.
00:50:52Any chance of a cup of tea, any?
00:51:00Who's gonna win, eh?
00:51:02Let me rephrase that.
00:51:03Which party will win?
00:51:06Does it matter?
00:51:09Labour landslide.
00:51:11Heath's unelectable, man.
00:51:14If you're gonna go around, flatten your arms about.
00:51:16Saying, the country's out of control.
00:51:18Who governs?
00:51:19But people are gonna put two and two together and say,
00:51:21well, not you, bonny lad.
00:51:22Not anymore.
00:51:25They'll also win, because Heath's three-day week means
00:51:28a lot of Labour voters will be sitting at home on Thursday
00:51:30without the do but vote.
00:51:32Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:51:36What the hell are you doing with yourself, eh?
00:51:40I gave you a decent education and look at you.
00:51:43You're nowhere, are you?
00:51:48Oh, you're here.
00:51:50Oh, you're here.
00:51:52I'm supposed to be impressed, am I?
00:51:54There are still empty flats here, Austin.
00:51:56Still.
00:51:57Now everybody forgets inconvenient facts.
00:52:00Yes, they do.
00:52:02Look at the facts last year.
00:52:05Tory businessmen paying themselves hundreds of thousands
00:52:07in golden handshakes.
00:52:09The unacceptable face of capitalism.
00:52:11It even sticks in Heath's throat.
00:52:14Two of his cabinet ministers have to resign over a vice scandal.
00:52:18And what does Heath do about it?
00:52:19He sends the fraud squad to talk to me.
00:52:23Me.
00:52:25And what's so fucking funny about that?
00:52:29You're getting soft.
00:52:32It's disgraceful at your age.
00:52:35Instead of sitting here feeling sorry about the world,
00:52:37get out and change it, man.
00:52:38Like you did.
00:52:39At least I tried, Nicky.
00:52:41Edward's filled a little trough with goodies
00:52:43and you and Connor and all the rest stuck your noses in it.
00:52:46That's all you did, Austin.
00:52:47That's all you achieved.
00:52:50If you think I did it wrong, Nicky, do it better.
00:52:53Get back in the party, man. Build something up.
00:52:56He won't have me.
00:52:59Do you think they wanted me 30 years ago?
00:53:02Make them have you, Nicky.
00:53:04Move in on them.
00:53:08That's all I came to say.
00:53:13Well, wish us luck, money lad.
00:53:20Don't forget the visitors, eh?
00:53:33Hello, Mr. Donnelly.
00:53:42I'm not in the middle of the street.
00:53:46Oh, I'm not in the middle of the street.
00:53:52We are now making our pledge to London, Heathrow.
00:53:54Please drink your cigarettes and make sure your seats are in a right-like position.
00:53:58Okay.
00:53:58Will there be people waiting for us, Bunny?
00:54:00I hope not, darling. I hope not.
00:54:17You says, come for me.
00:54:19You look for us on the street.
00:54:19You look for me.
00:54:19I'm well, I'm so glad.
00:54:20They're here with my own Gina.
00:54:20I've been there with my dad.
00:54:21I've been there with my sister and sister.
00:54:22They're here with your sister, my sister.
00:54:23They're here for me, my sister.
00:54:25They're here with all my sister.
00:54:31I mean, what we can have you, huh?
00:54:43King's Cross via Soho, please.
00:55:07Stormy weather.
00:55:14Well.
00:55:35Sir, Barrett's been spotted that he's thrown.
00:55:47Keep your eyes peeled for a Rolls Royce convertible.
00:55:50All right, come.
00:55:58I've got four lads inside.
00:56:00There's no sign of him, but he could be upstairs.
00:56:03We've been here before.
00:56:06If we bust a place and he's not there this time,
00:56:09we might never find him again.
00:56:10He'll go forever.
00:56:16Stop!
00:56:25Charlie.
00:56:26Hello, Benny.
00:56:27You all right, mate?
00:56:28Hello, darling. How are you?
00:56:31Hi.
00:56:43This is where it all started for me.
00:56:45I keep it going for sentimental reasons.
00:56:47I'm a bit of a softy, really.
00:56:56What's all this?
00:56:58Ah.
00:56:59My insurance policies.
00:57:01I've got tape recordings, accounts, photographs of friends enjoying life.
00:57:05Mm-hmm.
00:57:06Mm-hmm.
00:57:11His whiskers nicer.
00:57:13It's the best club in Soho.
00:57:19Hi.
00:57:33No, you're the hands of Group.
00:57:36You guys have to go.
00:57:37Oh, you're my husband.
00:57:37All right.
00:57:38All right.
00:57:44We're giving you a doctor.
00:57:59Ladies and gentlemen, the margin is so tiny that I have no option but to request a recount.
00:58:07Dear God!
00:58:09May we not lose by 50 votes?
00:58:11I don't think there's much point in you asking God for favourites.
00:58:30When are we going to see Whiskers?
00:58:39Well, don't you like it here?
00:58:42Yes, but it's a bit quiet.
00:58:46I want tonight to be about us.
00:58:49Wait until you see the house.
00:58:52Family house.
00:58:58Can we die next?
00:59:00Here's the house.
00:59:04Here's the house.
00:59:05Oh.
00:59:06You better?
00:59:08Oh, cool.
00:59:11Egg and chips.
00:59:26I think he's been in there all night.
00:59:29Tucked up in bed with a couple of waitresses.
00:59:32What if he's not?
00:59:37Bring everybody up.
00:59:54Good evening, sir.
00:59:55Can I help?
00:59:56Sir?
00:59:57Yes, sir.
00:59:58Good evening.
00:59:58I'm just looking for a minute.
00:59:59It's okay.
01:00:00I'm sorry, sir.
01:00:01I'll only be a minute.
01:00:02I'm sorry, sir.
01:00:03House rule.
01:00:05Tie, sir.
01:00:08I found the white rolls, sir.
01:00:11Have you got a tie I could have?
01:00:15To hire, I mean.
01:00:21This is a police raid.
01:00:26I'll have some quiet or I'll lock up every single one of you.
01:00:29Sir, we found him.
01:00:30We found Barrett's car.
01:00:34Come on!
01:00:35Come on!
01:00:50Come on!
01:00:51One of you!
01:00:52One of you!
01:00:53Sell us your tie!
01:00:55Sell us your tie!
01:00:56Come on!
01:00:59How much?
01:01:01Please, Mr. Barrett, don't ever insult me again by trying to pay for food in here, eh?
01:01:05Eh?
01:01:07It's great to be back.
01:01:09But first, you have to say whether you voted Tory.
01:01:15Because I just can't let this tie go to someone who's not one of us.
01:01:21Well, is this fellow one of us?
01:01:24Or is he one of them?
01:01:26You think he's one of them!
01:01:29Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha?
01:01:34Not for him.
01:01:38Die.
01:02:12Barrett, I'm arresting you on a charge of the attempted murder of Cyril Pellier in 1966.
01:02:17It's all over, Barrett.
01:02:20You don't have to say anything, but if you choose to do so, what do you say, maybe you should
01:02:24do?
01:02:28In.
01:02:50After a third recount, I, the undersigned, being the acting returning officer for this constituency,
01:02:58hereby declare that the total number of votes cast in this election for each candidate was as follows.

01:03:34Edward Peter Wells, 23,497 votes.
01:03:43He's going to be amazing.
01:03:46He's going to be amazing.
01:03:51He's going to be amazing.
01:04:13Look, Harold, I'll give you Β£200 more
01:04:16and a dirty squad can have the King Club for the night, all right?
01:04:19All right, Benny. You drive a hard bargain.
01:04:24I can see eight immediate arrests.
01:04:27Where's Harold Chappell?
01:04:29He's at home, sir, with his family.
01:04:32Go there now and arrest him.
01:04:34Go via the press office.
01:04:35I want this done as publicly as possible.
01:04:40Solway?
01:04:40He's not reported in today, sir.
01:04:42Find him, same treatment.
01:04:44Tony Weir?
01:04:45He's working at the detective training school, sir.
01:04:49Take him quietly, Arthur.
01:04:52Ron Conrad.
01:04:54Ron Conrad.
01:04:56He's here, sir. Still arguing that it's about Seabrook.
01:04:59Charge Conrad.
01:05:00Well, looks at it, sir, he was hardly in it.
01:05:02He got out pretty quick.
01:05:03Not quickly enough.
01:05:06He knew all about this.
01:05:08He never said a word.
01:05:10And the rest.
01:05:11So?
01:05:12Well, get on with it, gentlemen.
01:05:14I want the book thrown at this lot.
01:05:17I want them chopped down.
01:05:20Yes.
01:05:21Ah, God.
