All language subtitles for Minder s01e03 The Smaller They Are

I could be so good for you.

Love you like you want me to.

I could be so good for you.

Love you like you want me to.

I don't have any of those that are
bound, do you?

Big girl when she grows up?

Boy,

young enough to be your daughter. What's
wrong with that?

That's what keeps me young.

I thought it was Phyllis Ann in Grecian
2000.

You can be very hurtful sometimes,
Terence.

Little doll.

See, that's what her indoors don't
understand.

A young bird like that around keeps you
feeling young.

I mean, look at that Picasso.

He always had a few young birds about.

Kept him going until he was 90 -odd.

Paintings weren't all that.

Arthur.

Well, Stan.

All right?

Yeah, yeah.

Terry.

Stan.

Couldn't do us a favour, could you?

How much is it going to cost me?

Don't get me wrong.

Do you think you could change it for me?

Oh, you and Scotch Harry had a bit of a
tickle.

I know.

Just a bit of luck.

It's a good 'un.

I'll just see what the exchange rate is.

Could I have a light ale and all?

Do us a favour, Dave. I've got some of
my holiday money left over. Change that

for me.

Straight, is it?

Of course it's straight.

Think I'd better the Seychelles with
naughty money.

About $2 a pound, isn't it?

Oh, I don't think it's as much as that.

No? Well, give us 40 and 5 and you and
your good lady have a drink. Oh, and my

usual. Oh, and light ale.

You all right?

Yeah, yeah.

You look a bit worried.

No, no.

Honest.

I thought I'd buy a new cardigan on
Monday.

Nice.

Here you are, Stan.

Oh, charm.

Have I given up?

I thought you were taking it easy,
Terry.

Oh, you always come here Saturday
afternoon and sit here with an empty

don't you?

Here you are, Stan.

Eight fibres.

Is that all?

It's a rate of exchange, isn't it? It
varies from day to day. I didn't realise

that. Oh, yeah, especially on a Saturday
afternoon.

Something to do with Switzerland.

Is Scotch Harry all right?

Oh, yeah.

He's terrific.

You got any more of those lurking about?

Hundred dollar bills?

Well, to tell you the truth... Yeah,
yeah, I like that, Stan.

There is a few more.

Just a few, like?

Well, why don't you get Scotch Harry and
we'll do a bit of business.

He's barred in here. No, I'll square it
with Dave. As long as he's with me. He

won't come out.

Why not?

You could come round.

He wouldn't like it, but if you've got
some time... Yeah, that's a good idea.

Never know, might get a drink.

Who have you got with you?

Arthur and Terry.

What did you bring them for?

Look, just open up, I'll explain.

Did you get that carry out?

Two bottles of wine, cranberry,
lemonade, some cans of lager.

I thought I used too much.

Arthur changed the dollars.

So what?

You can change them anywhere.

I don't need these guys.

All right, that's fair enough.

Come on, it ain't exactly trade of
Vicks, is it? No, no, no, just a minute,

Terry. I think Harry's got a problem.

I'm drinking that. I'm not surprised.

Oh, tell him, Harry, please.

Where will you go, you biggy jet?

We'll home and die.

Why don't you pop the door, then?

He picked the wrong guy's pocket.

Give that up.

Oxford Street, full of Arabs.

You ever try to pick an Arab's pocket,
all you end up with is a handful of

terraline sheeting.

We was working the air terminal.

All right, I'll tell them.

It was all your fault anyway.

Right.

So we were working the air terminal.

I'm looking for a handbag. A fleet bag.

A suitcase.

I mean, a fistful of credit cards and a
cheque would do us nicely.

I'm plotting this young guy, right?

The luggage looks good.

And when this bird appears, he puts down
the case. That looks really good.

He's shooting the odds. Why is he late
and all that?

Me? I'm in there like Kenny Dalglish
with an open goal.

I'm off, and they haven't even noticed.

I'm heading for Big Stan, right?

Then Rycott appears.

DC Rycott.

I thought he'd get kicked off the manor.

I mean, that guy knows me better than my
brother.

I'm a magic runner, but I'm a wee bit
out of training.

Fried chicken.

Chips.

Chocolate trifle.

I could have had a fourth course dinner
if I hadn't been so knackered.

See some of the restaurants.

They ought to be nicked.

Big Stanley to take my good suit to the
cleaners.

What's your worry then? You got a
result, didn't you?

Maybe I, maybe no.

Why not? Well, how come Rycott's not
been round here looking for me? How come

you're still here waiting for him?

I don't know.

So you nicked a fellow's suitcase.

You think Rycott's going to give up his
Saturday off just for that? Why not?

You'd give up your Saturday off for
this.

Get up, you.

How much?

Couldn't he, could he?

Gave up.

About half a million.

A lot, isn't he?

Yes, it is a lot.

Even Arthur's rate of exchange.

Nothing on the news?

No. No, Bill.

Hey, what are you doing?

Oh, bit of a thief. Couldn't resist
nicking the hotel's notepaper.

Fontwell.

Smart, comfy.

What nationality was he?

Who the hell should I know?

What airline was he going on?

Oh, that Yankee one. Come in.

Twa? T -W -A, you twit.

Anyway, what is it, Marta? Well, maybe
we can find him.

What for?

What for?

Because you're going to have to hand it
back, aren't you?

Are you kidding?

No, my little Scotch friend, I am not
kidding.

He's right, Harry.

People get killed for that sort of
dough.

Move.

How are they ever going to find me? Who
knows?

But I'd put a banker bet on your coupon
they're going to be looking.

You want a form book guide, Harry?

You'll have a few more of those
psychedelic cocktails. We'll be out on

street, pubbing it, clubbing it,
flashing your wad, telling everyone

master criminal of the century.

Two days and half London will know. I
mean, Harry, you've jumped from the

Scottish Second Division straight into
the European Cup.

And I'm going to win it, I know.

Oh, listen to him. He's like the Ali
McLeod of the bag -snatching set.

That's the news, too.

I've done that business, OK?

No, you're talking about giving it back.

Not all of it, Harry.

Obviously, there'll be some
disbursements involved.

Aye. Commission expenses.

Mainly for you and Stan.

A bit for me and Terry.

Oh, come, you two.

Suddenly I learned the act. Because
you're in trouble, old son, and you're

to need looking after.

He's right enough. I shan't just face
you.

You want helping?

You don't want helping?

Hey, what are you doing?

Stay here. I'll be back in a bit.

Hold on. Wait. Wait just a minute.

Listen. What are you talking about, stay
here?

What happens if he gets a pull?

I'm sitting there with a bag full of
dollars. The old bill comes in. What am

going to say?

Oh, yeah. I always spend my Saturdays
with Scotch Harry at one of his little

cocktail parties. The law won't come
round.

What about the other mob, then?

They've got that sort of dough. They're
going to be a bit tasty, aren't they?

I'll be back soon.

Oh, you'll be back.

Oh, that's all right, then. That's
really put my mind at rest, hasn't it?

earning, Terry. With something like
this, we've got to be earning.

Do you know what? I could do with all
that money.

I could get myself an oil rig.

You'd be better off with a distillery.

Listen, don't come at you cockney hard
case.

What do I need you for?

I mean, you think I can't do the bizzo
myself?

Don't you worry about that, Jimmy.

I can do the bizzo myself.

I've got a not guilty for manslaughter.

You probably never did it.

Aye.

But how are they in your life?

Harry's brand new.

And don't you forget it.

Aye. What was that?

It's all right. It's all right. It was a
cat flap.

You sure?

Well, you'll hear the other lot.

They're probably coming firing
submachine guns.

Look, Maurice, if I'd set it up, I
wouldn't have come back here, would I?

you were very brave.

Isn't that so, Eric? Or incredibly
stupid.

Look, I may... Listen, Brian.

We've had a very efficient system. In
our business, everybody's accountable.

You to me, I to certain people in
France, they to certain people in

We go through England because English
people going abroad are never searched

their customs.

We have a very good arrangement at
Munich airport with the unloading staff.

Half a million dollars lost.

In my position, would you believe your
story?

The man grabbed the bag and ran towards
the...

You are simply a pretty appendage to
Brian.

Your job is to look like an attractive
secretary going abroad with your boss or

boyfriend. Please don't interrupt again.

Brian, you've drawn attention to
yourself.

And in our business, that's a very
serious mistake.

Okay.

And I'm sorry.

But look, I think we've got an ally.

Who? Well, this... Detective Constable
Rycott. He knows the guy who snatched

bag. Now he also knows you. Well, he
knows my name, but not my address.

Well, okay, he knows I've got something
to hide.

But if the price is right, he'll find
that bag snatcher for us. It didn't

to you that he might be setting you up?
Well, of course it did.

What other chance have we got?

Eric, will you get me some mineral
water, please?

Hey, he's one of the laggers.

He'll be better off with a stomach bump.

Ah, you sharp, you cockney. All right,
don't get cheeky, Harry.

Why not?

I haven't been hit by a bigger guy than
you.

Big David McDougall tries to bite my
nose off, lads.

Oh, what happened?

What happened?

I prize this false cheater.

Very clever.

With my bare hands.

Hey.

Me, Harry.

What does he mean, this me, Harry?

Doesn't even give a password.

We haven't got a password.

Of course, some of them kebabs.

I hate kebabs.

I told you I wasn't a chicken sobber.

It plays out in all they have. You'll
never do anything right.

Listen, you scotty punks. If you don't
like kebabs, you could be eating ken of

me. Take it easy, sonny, take it easy.

I only meant kebabs wasn't always my
first choice.

What would we have in the old style of
that?

These ones go magic.

Only luck will make them disappear.

Why are you so sure of this Rycott?

I'm not.

We sparred around for a little while.

I suppose you could see I was pretty
shaken up.

I gave him a tale about company records
and rewards.

Look, I don't know.

I could just tell he's the sort of cop
who would give you your driving licence

with a £10 note stuck inside.

And then he arrests you.

and slaps on another charge for trying
to bribe a police officer.

Look, Rycott got the message.

He knows that I want the bag and that
I'm not worried about an arrest.

What about him?

Oh, he's said enough.

I mean, he'll arrest a bag snatcher.
It's hardly overnight promotion.

He has his man's address?

Well, it'll take a day and maybe two.
These people move about quite a bit.

Look, look, Rycott gave me his home
telephone number. He's on our side,

It's still a very big risk.

If he finds out what's in the bag.

I told him all we needed was the
address.

After that, I'd handle everything.

He'd get his reward.

Everything would be forgotten.

If he finds the man, he's in our pocket.

Unless he gets too greedy.

Can you find out about this Detective
Constable Rycott, Eric?

Probably.

So, we have a little sneak thief.

And hopefully, a bent policeman.

Maurice, I put the bag down for 20
seconds.

Please, you've got to believe that.

Brian, it's all a matter of
accountability, as I explained.

Are you frightened?

Yes. Good. You should be.

And dear Kim as well.

Right, all fixed.

Not much of a hotel, is it?

What do you expect? The top floor of the
Dorchester?

I've taken care of everything.

Nobody's to know you're here.

I've told the geezer you're three oil
men down from Aberdeen.

Terry, nobody goes out.

Yeah, OK.

Remember, you're all incognito.

See you soon.

Hello, Terry.

What are you doing here?

Incognito. I think we got the penthouse
suite booked. Oh, yeah.

It's Scotch Harry, isn't it? Haven't
seen you in years, Harry.

I'm not Scotch Harry.

I'm his brother.

Oh, yeah. Got it. Now, sign in, lads,
and the first night's in advance.

I thought it had all been taken care of.
Well, it ain't, and I've got to have a

deposit. Do you take credit cards?

No offence meant, but not from you,
Harry.

Look, I told you.

You're maxing me out by my brother's.
Oh, sorry about that.

Now, it's still seven quid a night, each
in advance.

What's the room service like?

Just across the street.

A little off -licence, besides the packy
grocery emporium.

It won't be one today.

Good morning, sir. Good morning,
sweetheart. I wonder if you could do me

little favour.

A fella lost a bag here yesterday and a
friend of mine found it and would...

Pardon me, sir.

It's a matter for our security people.

I don't know, sweetheart. See, I want to
do him a favour. See, my friend thinks

I might be a small reward.

It's a matter for our security man and
unfortunately he's not on duty at the

moment. Ah, well, there you are,
sweetheart.

He's got the address. All he needs is a
name.

It's not a crime just to give me the
name, is it?

It was on the Munich flight, wasn't it?
That's right.

He was doing a Neville Chamberlain.

I beg your pardon?

Never mind.

He was, uh, Mr. Brian Ashton. And he
didn't take his flight?

No.

Thanks very much, sweetheart. You're
doing a very good public relations job

here.

Don't suppose you ever get up to White
City Saturday nights, do you?

Darling, you'd better go.

What do you mean? Get out of here.

But why? They don't believe us, that's
why.

Look, the police guy's looking for the
thief. And if he doesn't find him?

Anything Bonnie's going to believe if he
sees that money sitting in front of

him?

Even then we're out of a job.

We've screwed it up.

These people don't believe in accidents.

Should have stayed selling insurance.

I don't want you hurt, Kim.

Hello?

Who wants to know?

Yes.

Yes, this is Brian Ashton speaking.

When?

Is it okay?

Yes.

Yes, I'm sure we have a little business
to discuss.

What am I going to do, then? Well, just
suss it out, that's all.

Listen, I could be walking into a load
of trouble up there.

You're supposed to be the business
brain.

Yeah, of course I am. That's why I'm
sending you in there to meet him.

I want to reveal our hand.

What hand?

The fact that someone of my stature is
involved in it.

Oh.

It's really going to terrify him, that,
isn't it?

Possibly. In fact, more than likely,
Terry.

Besides, you need a backup man outside.

I'd rather have a backup man inside.

Those people look out for Rycott.

You don't know him all that well.

You'd probably be out there with him.
I'll give you a chance to meet him,

it? Stop worrying, Terry.

Just get in there and in the words of
Scotch Harry, do the bizzle.

How

much

change have you got left?

About 15 quid. Now give us it.

What for?

Because it's my money.

What do you want it for?

To get a carry -out.

I'll get it. Hey, listen!

Do you know that I can cross the bloody
street?

Our front Terry said not to go out.

So what?

You're forgetting who nicked that case.

I'm the guy that did the physical, OK?

I'm the one that should be giving the
orders, not them two.

Right, give us the money. Oh, look,
Harry. Never mind look.

I only want to cross the street and get
a couple of bottles.

Breath of fresh air.

I mean, I'm no use to sitting in all day
like this.

I'm basically an outdoor man. I come
from Clyde Bank.

Oh, come on. I saw you coming with me.

Stan, with all this dough at stake, is
it likely I'd do anything stupid?

I mean, who organises everything for us
two? It's me, right?

I mean, I look after you more than you
look after me, don't I?

My best pal.

Of course, Sam.

Well, just...

Give me a tenner and go and get a couple
of bottles.

There.

How would you like to get you some
crisps?

Nice.

Some of them cheese ones.

Barbecue bacon.

I like the cheese ones myself.

Go get the big bags.

Be good, that one.

Right.

Right.

Back before you know it, Stan.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Do we make

formal introductions?

No, I don't. He's not the guy who stole
the bag.

I see.

You're some kind of a go -between.

An agent.

A sort of commission agent.

How much?

Well, since we got so lucky, and we
don't want to rouse ourselves in on your

thriving little business, we thought 50
grand.

In coinage of the realm, of course.

Who exactly are we dealing with?

I don't want to know your name, and I
ain't going to tell you mine.

Oh.

Professional.

Right. I think I should make at least
one introduction.

This is Eric.

Eric was with the SAS.

Nice for him. He was the Sultan of
Okrama's personal bodyguard.

Wasn't that the one who got shot?

After my time, old boy.

Well, I'm sure you're very handy, Eric.
You obviously have somebody waiting

downstairs.

Obviously.

Don't you think 50 ,000 is a little
excessive?

Well, half a million ain't exactly bingo
money, is it?

Do forgive me.

I haven't even offered you a drink.

No, I won't be staying.

You agree the price, we deliver the bag.

How do we get in touch?

We don't.

We arrange the meet now.

After that, you don't see us, we don't
see you. I hardly imagine we mix in the

same social circles.

Well, you never know who you're going to
run into at the hunt all these days, do

you, Eric?

How true.

Tonight, ten o 'clock.

Is that it, then?

That's it.

That's surprising, really.

Good as gold. Very trusting.

Yeah?

I don't know they were all that
trusting.

Eh? Don't look round.

I said don't look round tonight.

Being followed.

Oh, you're joking.

Soon find out.

Following are not all that well.

Yeah, that'd be the bold Eric.

Funny, really.

I thought he'd drop on us by parachute.

What now, then?

We hope the front door ain't locked.

What are you talking about, front door?

Now he's got one.

Highly trained killer.

He's not all that, is he?

I'll be fair.

Fair!

Oh, this is... Yeah.

Hey, how's it going, Fred?

Hello, Larry. Haven't seen you in a
while.

Here's a drambuie and a half pint of
lager. What do you like?

Don't he look after you?

I sort the load when I try and do it.

I stay in these days.

Epic.

It's the way it be, Harry.

Thank you.

Yeah, right.

Oh, it's all right, guys. Get in the
car, Harry. Out to the right.

A bit too pissed for your 800 metres
this time, eh? Eh, he's a prick.

What have I done?

Hey, listen, I was with my brother and
my auntie.

When?

Ah, to hell.

Whenever you like.

I thought you were still over in E
Division, Mr Rycock.

Yeah.

Well, I served my time, Harry, just like
you, six years back as a wooden top.

Very sweaty in the summer, those
uniforms.

Oh, sorry to hear that, Mr. Rycock.

I mean, you suit the plain clothes
better.

You were always a nice dresser, Mr.
Rycock.

I got a shock of my life when I saw you
at that air terminal.

Fifteen years and still a bloody
detective constable. You deserve better,

do, Mr. Rycock.

Not you, Harry.

Ah.

I just scrape by, you know what I mean?
Well, that's what I'm doing, Harry, just

scraping by.

You could have been an inspector and
been out.

Except for I'd be better in trouble with
Mr. Ligon.

Good copper, Harry.

One of the best.

I mean, see, for a guy like me, you were
always bad news, if you don't mind me

saying that.

Screwed up McPension.

See, some people know a...

Hey, Mr.

Rycock, we just passed the neck. Yeah?

Hey, what's the problem?

Well, you can't be doing with getting
nicked again, can you, Harry?

Where are we going?

We're going to do ourselves a favor.

You see, I don't get any pleasure out of
putting away guys like you.

It's not nicking people that counts, is
it?

Rehabilitation. That's the approach
these days, Harry.

Rehabil... I thought rehabilitation was
learning your trade or sending you a

probation officer.

Yeah, well, they are a bit like that,
these people. Do -gooders.

You do a good deal, you'll be all right.

Listen,

I want out of here. Shut up.

Don't think of it, Harry.

Broken legs.

attempting to escape from police
custody, damage to my motor.

A good judge would stick 12 months on
top of that.

Aye, right.

OK, have a wee drink, Mr Rycock.

Why not?

You wipe the top and I'll have one and
all.

How could you, Stan? How could you? Stay
in, I said. Nobody goes out, I said.

Just said he was going out for some
crisps and a drink. Drink?

You let him go out for a drink?

Just the one.

He can't count one.

I mean, I've been working on his behalf.
I've been grafting for him.

I've been face to face with a trained
assassin.

Yeah? Albert, someone wants you on the
blower.

Great, isn't it?

Nobody's supposed to know we're here.
Now we're getting person to person

Scott Harry?

No, bloke wouldn't give his name.

I'm sorry, Terry.

Honest, I... Only give him... Only give
him a tenner.

With one of them in his pocket, he could
be anywhere, couldn't he?

Probably halfway to Spain for the next
World Cup.

Mind you, it'd be the only Scott there.

Okay. So you've got our friend.

But we've still got the money.

What do you mean the situation's
changed?

Do you know where we are as well?

No names.

Oh, great.

But we've still got the money.

An hour?

Yeah, I'll think about it.

I don't usually inhale these.

Scott Harry's just signed in at the
Fontwell.

He's staying the night and we probably
won't see him again.

So what do we do?

So you've got to make a choice, Stan.

Friendship or dollars.

He's my best pal.

Terry.

It'd be a terrible world without
friends, wouldn't it?

Hold on.

Isn't that the Pink Panther?

Oh, yeah.

What about his comrades -in -arms?

He's on the payroll, isn't he?

Yeah, but how many others?

Nah, forget it. I think D .C. Raycott's
doing a bit of freelancing.

Always was a greedy man.

Hello, Mr. Raycott. Hello, lads.

Long way off your manor, aren't you? I'm
just waiting for a friend of mine.

Hope you're not going to nick him.

You haven't got a hidden microphone in
there, have you, Arthur?

I can't believe you'd try and fit up an
hard work in D .C.

Not my style.

Good.

Have a nice meeting, lads.

A pleasure to see you, gentlemen.

Eric will take the bag.

No, just a minute.

Your friend.

Was very cooperative.

Harry.

I did tell you that Eric was a skilled
man.

Oh, hey, fellas, I'm sorry.

What could I do?

That big guy fairly did the busy on me.

You didn't have to do that.

We had to have names.

He's only a little guy.

But suddenly he was mixing with big
guys.

There is an old myth.

The bigger they are, the harder they
fall.

Don't believe it, Mr. Daly.

Small people, they disappear.

Nobody even cares.

You drop them in the river and they
don't even leave a ripple.

We'll get you to the hospital, Larry.

I'll bring stuff.

500 pounds.

And you're lucky, Mr. Daly.

Now, wait a minute.

No argument, no threat.

Mistakenly, you involved yourself with a
very big organization.

You caused us an inconvenience, but
business was merely interrupted.

In half an hour, we can have
disappeared.

So take your friend, go, and forget.

Bastard! He's my pal!

said, my friend, the smaller they are.

See to him, will you?

Come on.

Just one second.

Yes, sod it. Why not?

says you can never find one when you
want one.

Now, I've never grasped on anyone in my
life, Mr. Rycott, but there's a little

team up in room 1720 of very nasty
people.

Look at that, eh, Mr. Rycott?

One of them pulled a button off my
jacket.

So are you on duty, Rycott?

Because if you're moonlighting, sir, I
don't think you're going to get paid

I'm nearly always on duty.

Good.

I think we've nearly made an honest
copper of him.

Excuse me.

Yeah, come on, do me a favour. You know
Scott Cherry's been barred here for six

months. Dave, he's with me.

I'll vouch for him. He'll be as good as
gold.

Stop messing with our boat, Pagan.

I'm old, eh?

Yeah, well, any naughty behaviour and
he's out, right?

On my landlord's life.

He's in my company.

Need I say more?

Yeah, talking of your landlord's life,
you know that $100 you gave me on

Saturday? Yeah.

Well, it's a wrong offer.

You what?

I took it to the bank this morning.

The forgery.
