If you want to change the situation,

right people, right time, just the wrong
location.

I've got a good idea, just you get me
near, I'll be so good

for you. I'll be so good for you.

I'm gonna help you.

Love me like you want me to.

I'll do anything for you.

And we'll play this also for listening
there. This morning, ladies, good

to you.

South Bend Club. Go on, mate. I'm
knocking off for the day.

Take the Bermondsey ASAP.

I'm not for hire. Another one will be
along any second.

You just don't want to earn the money.

I've been working all night.

God take care of it. I do have an urgent
appointment. So do I, with my duvet.

Just bleed and floor it, will you?

Go on.

You got anyone famous from the Cadillac,
then?

I have, actually.

Got a big Boris home after a night out.

Means I think it was that.

We've got a man that's sitting here.

A man who is not afraid of taking
chances.

Like a good self, then.

Sorry? That business back there.

What business?

Those brillies in Armani suits.

No idea what you're talking about.

So you won't mind them being right
behind us, then, will you?

Oh. Come on, step on it, please. Don't
worry.

I've got the taxi there in support.

Go, go, go!

Oh, great, great. And that helps us out
exactly. Well, I was counting on them

being a bit more law -abiding. Really?
So why are they following you? Well, I

don't know. That's been mistaken
identity or something. I've got one of

four faces. Yeah, well, you and your
face are getting out of the next light.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You can't cast
me. Those guys back there are

It's got nothing to do with me.

Come on, Jamie.

Don't be a filthy sub -punk. Come on.

Sometimes I wish I didn't have
principles.

You got those seatbelts on?

Yeah, just give me a... A second!

Any chance of a warning next time?

Sorry!

No, no, no, no, what are you doing?
Don't stop! All arms. Oh, that's

isn't it? All arms.

Some things may be able to drive up
leading mountains, but there is

they can't do.

Lewis, how would I take your heart out?

Oh, you are a natural, sunshine.

Oh, hey.

Well, good, Jeff. You can hack at my
suspension.

I don't mind playing for good old free
service with a smile.

Who said you've done this before?

I'm dead.

Look at it. It's trashed and I haven't
even paid it off yet. I bought it off a

mate a month ago.

He's even going to let me kip on his
floor until I've got him the cash. He's

hardly going to be happy about me
staying now, is he? It's a bit of bad

isn't it?

Not as bad as yours.

You. Out.

Ow, no, Jed. Ow, ow!

Jed, ow!

Jed, the police. The Gold Brothers were
waiting for you. Something came up. It

was urgent, as it happens, and I... Ow!

I had to rearrange my diary hastily. No,
you bottled it and ran away.

OK, let me be straight with you.

Now, I haven't been entirely successful
with their request, but I almost

certainly did try my best.

You told her, Mr. Golds, you knew that
girl. You promised you'd get her to

And I coached her with all good faith,
but that woman is not for turning.

Now, you tell your boss that she's
mental and she's violent, even.

Get her out of that pub, or you'll be
paying us back in kneecaps.

Hold on.

I can't do that.

Not in broad daylight, not in front of a
witness.

Walk away, cabbie. You've seen nothing.
That is my passenger.

It's my responsibility.

And he owes my bosses a very big favour.
But you've got to give the guy a

chance.

Do what?

To go against one ain't fair.

Oh, is that your best shot? Shut it.
They're clear, Ross. And let me get my

safely to his destination.

I'm half nearly nicely.

Not nearly nice enough.

Go on, hit him a smack, Jamie.

Oh, I think you should have hit him.

You are indeed a class act.

I don't like bullets, neither do I, but
I couldn't take on half a dozen at a

time. This cab's everything I own.

Oh.

to gold and mr gold he stood us up yeah
yeah we said i'll just tell it telling

your colleague i'm having a spot bother
with ms bennett try more directed bro

all right this is cleansed a deal for it
you've got 24 hours

mate

and it's got a bother.

Nah.

Haven't had this much fun since I got my
prostate check.

Hey, I know a good mechanic who'll fix
this all up for you.

I'm already well out of pocket, isn't
you?

Well, there's a cracking coincidence.

Because if you want to make a few quid,
easy money, I've got just the job.

Come on, let me repay you for the
inconvenience.

I want to make amendments.

Better be on the level.

Nothing dodgy, straight up.

Trust me.

Daily. Archie, daily.

All right, this will do.

That way. Come on, follow me.

You all right, boys?

Archie.

What business are you in, exactly?

You name it, I'll deal in it.

Everything from kneeling you to spanking
you. From personal services to personal

protection. I can offer any enterprise I
can muster, but always with a smile.

So what do you want from me?

Simple.

Deliver the briefcase. I'm having
nothing to do with drugs. Hey, whoa,

I look like a criminal?

I'm somewhat bereaved by that comment.

50 grand of Her Majesty's finest.

Where did you get all that?

Oh, just a few choice words from my bank
manager.

He's very amicable in freeing up some of
my capital, you know.

No credit cards for you, then?

He's ingested my business plans because
he knows I like to dabble in the

property market.

So, a little deposit from my imbibing
emporium.

A pub.

So why can't you deliver it?

I'm just simply taking precautions,
that's all.

And I've witnessed your man not to be
trifled with. Hang on a minute.

You're going to trust me.

You've only just met.

With all that lolly.

Yeah, but don't forget, I've got your
taxi's collateral.

It's not worth tuppence now.

You don't look like someone who'll
double -cross me, James.

I can see it in your eyes. You're on
this boat you're on. I like to think I'm

very good judge of character.

And I'm paying you 500 quid.

So we'll just have to give it to the guy
in charge, yeah?

Yeah.

Except he's a she.

Well, she's a tough cookie, mind you,
taking me for every penny I've got. So

whatever you do, don't get into any
conversations, all right?

All you need is the word the deal is
done.

What could possibly be similar?

Business take our own, Archie.

Councillor Conway. Ooh.

What an unexpected pleasure.

There's no point in being in politics
unless you know what's going down on the

street, eh?

Right. It's not easy for a man of
principle in this harsh jungle of

entrepreneurial shit.

And I trust you've had no further hassle
from those cowboys flying, tipping up

your alleyway?

I've had no trouble in my passage,
thanks to your kind intervention.

Well, that's where it's at right there,
Archie, isn't it?

I mean, if this community redevelopment
plan is going to suit everybody, it's

going to be about give and take. That's
why I've come round, to give you a quick

heads up on your application to buy this
place.

Well, Councillor Conway, you know I've
been wanting to buy this warehouse for

years.

And I'm happy, more than happy, to show
my appreciation. If you can maybe just

ease it through, you think?

Well, you've got no chance unless you do
what you're supposed to do.

In fact, if that pub isn't sold
tomorrow, I'm afraid I'm going to have

it down because of infestation.

I don't quite understand what you're on
about, Councillor.

Cockroaches. Hey! Oh, wow, wow, wow!

They're everywhere these days.

Oh, you... Oh, you... You're working for
the Gold Brothers. Not at all.

Then what's the pub going to do about
Warehouse? This is just an update on how

things will evolve if you do not
cooperate.

When it's happening, I'm doing it now.
The plans for the pub are in perpetual

motion. Well, if I was you, I wouldn't
hang about, actually, because I've had

on good authority that that's a male and
that was a female.

Hey, come away.

Come... Come away!

Looking for Petra Bennett?

And why would you want to do that?

To march you daily.

Down payment.

So I can tell him that's the way to do
it?

You can tell him he can shove it.

He can stick it so far up that it
rattles around where his arse should be.

on, I thought you were... If he stinks!

He can buy me out. He's got another
thing coming. And if he thinks I'm going

be scared off by a big lump like you,
he's even more stupid than I thought.

a minute, huh?

Last night, Paul, with that still count
of the stitches.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Come on,
come on, come on.

That's your bugger. Oh, there's a
fetching sight if ever I saw one.

Oh.

Cockroaches, you know, you've got to
catch them before they mate.

Well, as long as they're over the age of
consent.

Get in there.

Oh, Detective, did you pop round for a
spot of badinage?

No, that's an added bonus for a dull
day.

So is doing you for animal cruelty.

Well, there's me hoping it was a
personal call.

In your dreams, Daly.

No, I'm here because the word on the
street says that your import exploits

aren't quite kosher.

Whoa. Murray.

Whoa. Murray!

Murray, I'm not... Murray!

I expect harassment from a scumbag like
Conway, but I did not expect four

people, you, to be in the Gold Brothers'
pockets too.

Well, do me a favour.

The only way I'd speak to their thoughts
is through bars.

And don't get me started on Conway. So,
why are you abusing a law -abiding

citizen like me then?

I've just had an anonymous tip -off.

Oh, yeah? From?

Well, if I knew that, it wouldn't be
anonymous, now, would it?

Oh, Murray... Come on, you know me. I'm
as straight as a die.

Oh, yeah, of course you are.

Unless you have the documentation, I'm
curious as to how you can justify all

these designer thongs for your own
personal use.

All right?

Yeah, why don't you ask?

Just, you know, making conversation.

Oh, this is my business associate,
Jamie. McDonald.

Jamie McDonald.

You work for him? You must be joking.

Don't say you weren't warned.

Yeah, well, thank you very much,
Detective.

Hope you don't mind me being
impertinent, but may I suggest you clear

and find some criminals to harass.

Yeah, fair enough.

I just take these boxes into custody. Be
on the safe side. No, no, you can't do

that, because you need a warrant. I know
my rights. Yeah, and I know you were

dealing stolen designer watches and
digital cameras, not to mention

nappies. Hey, I bought this gear in good
faith, as was proven in the court of

law beyond reasonable doubt, if you
recollect. Oh, you're right.

Yes. No, I won't confiscate them.

Let's just say I'm looking after them
for you.

Do what? Yeah, think of it as lost
property.

I'm keeping it safe till you come out
with the papers to prove it's yours.

Oi, don't. That!

is a diabolical liberty.

That is paramount to police brutality,
that is.

So, you saw Petra, yes?

Did she say yes?

She said lots of things.

None of them very nice. All right, well,
what about the cash? She hit me over

the head with it.

That's the second time I shed blood
because of you. All right, so where is

Oh, well, it's dried up now. I'm not
talking about... I'm not talking

Jamie, the cash, please.

Where is the cash?

Oh, I bashed it when I saw the cops
there.

In a box.

Oh.

At least it's where nobody can nick it.
This is not a good time for levitation,

Jamie. I'm trying to help. I was using
my initiative. Oh, well done. Now you've

lost me 50 ,000 smackers. I'm really
sorry, mate.

Well, I thought I was in it before, but
because of you, it's up to me, Adam's

apple, and rising.

Yeah, but like she said, you can get it
back when you've got the right paper.

No, I ain't got time for that. I've got
to deliver the pub by tomorrow morning.

I thought you were buying it.

I'm just doing a favour for some old
friends, all right?

Then it's not even your money.

Yeah, but you didn't know that when you
lost it. Then I'm sorry.

Yeah, well, now they're going to kill
me. You happy?

Hang on.

Those wouldn't happen to be your old
friends with a road rage.

Yeah.

I'm going to have to stall them somehow.

So I bide some time.

Huh? Well, you're coming with me for
backup.

No way. My hands are clean and they're
staying that way. Oh, yeah? So why did

you give Murray a false name?

MacDonald.

You owe me, sunshine.

Come on.

What do I have to do? We're working a
brew in. I don't want for no one. Well,

this turned pretty good, I'd call the
shots, okay?

But any more rough stuff and I'm
walking, all right? That's precisely why

you to answer at 7.

What do I have to do exactly?

Nothing. Anyone.

Lovely to see you, Francis.

Don't worry, the boys were expecting me.

Be good.

I didn't know you had any friends,
Archie. The deal better be

done daily.

Everything's on track, fellas.

I have that girl hooked all right. She's
like warm putty in my palm.

But?

Well, Mark, it's not actually clinched
yet. Don't I?

What about the cash, Archie?

Oh, don't worry about that.

It's in the safest place you could
possibly imagine.

But the purchase is a little bit of a
delicate subject. You see,

Miss Bennet is a very tricky bicky.

However, I haven't used my inconsiderate
charm and I'm confident.

I just needed to have more time to get a
raw graph on the dots.

You know, just out of that week, maybe
two.

Find a way, Daly.

Today.

You know, fellas, this would be so much
sharper if you just bought the pub off

of yourselves.

Sometimes you need to keep a distance
from these things. You know how it is.

And you've still got an outstanding
debt, Daly.

Remember Barnet?

What? I'm not quite sure I know what
you're talking about. Please.

Don't make us have to talk you through
cockbusters.

Right, of course, you know what?

I shall never forget cockbusters.

Gentlemen, you know, I really do have
that I most respect, but seriously, both

of you, I really do.

I just need a bit more time, that's all.

Look at you, Archie.

Business is supposed to be a pleasure.

Well, I live for it, Nick.

Mark. Mark.

Mark. That's why we're going to give you
another 24 hours.

But no longer.

We need it signed and sealed by Friday.

Maybe she doesn't want to sell.

Hey, thank you. I'll deal with this.
James, don't worry.

Where's the puzzle?

He made her an offer and the girl said
no. End of.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, come on.

You want to watch who you're pushing,
don't you? Hey, he's right. He's new.

You know the score, Archie.

There's only one way this is going to
end.

Yeah, you're the boss, Mark. Nick, Mark,
Mark.

Hey, and I guarantee you, one way or
another, we'll have that woman dancing

my tempo.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Thank you.

Ah, well, that went well, didn't it, all
things considered?

Let's go and grab a bit of nose bag and
go and get their dosh back from the

cops. We?

I'm hungry.

I'm talking about their dosh. Come on,
we're in this together now, aren't we?

I've done my bit. You're on your own,
mate. Wait, wait, Jamie, hold on. Wait,

you can't just walk away like that. Call
me when my cab's fixed. Excuse me,

mister! In case you forgot, you're the
one who lost 50 big ones, okay?

And you told me it was yours. You said
you were buying the pub and you swore

whole thing was straight up. Do you know
what? I've hardly known you a day, but

I've never met a bigger bleeding liar in
my life.

And you think I'm going to help save
your ass? Oh, and I'm off when you've

employment, unless, of course, you've
had a better offer.

I don't need you.

I've got plans, and they do not include
the likes of you. Really? You didn't

mind taking a few hundred quid, no
questions asked, did you?

I don't like being used to fitting an
innocent woman.

Oh, Jamie, she's going to make a mint
out of this.

She's so stubborn, she can't see
straight. I saw what she doesn't get to

her own future. Listen, the golds always
get what they want, and they're quite

happy to walk over anyone. I'm talking
about you.

Oh. Oh, what are you going to do, eh?
Sort me out like those gorillas in the

jeep?

You don't want to.

Jamie, it's a bad world. It's every man
for himself.

Yeah. You need friends, and the sooner
you realise that, the better.

Oh, I'm in trouble, Dickie, big time.

I'm the club, mate.

The game's just not what it used to be.
No, not like that.

This is a genuine threat to my morality.

I've already lost the case by the cash
belonging to the Gold Brothers, and my

bid to buy the warehouse is slowly going
down the swanny. Yeah, but apart from

that, how's it going?

You're not listening to me, mate. I'm
here on my own. I need a bit of help.

the therapist you need, not a lawyer.

I only want a beer.

Well, maybe I don't want your business.

We're not exactly coming down with
paying customers.

How many baseball clubs have we got in
the pool?

Two. Three men?

One can buy a bet in every sports shop
in the country.

Nobody ever asked why people won.

All right, smart arse.

What do you want?

I just came here to apologise.

If I'd known Daly was leaning on you,
I'd never have come round here like

Archie used to run errands for my dad
when he was a kid.

Are you considering a friend?

It's not Archie's idea.

A gold brother doesn't have him doing
that dirty work.

Who are they?

Big noises in the property game,
apparently.

And they've really got their art set on
your crusty old pub. This isn't just any

old pub.

This is one of London's oldest watering
holes. Charles Dickens even drank here.

Oh, yes.

No -one can prove he didn't.

These halls have been standing for 300
years.

It's been as long since they had a
liquor bank.

Yeah, well, I've put in for a
preservation order to make it a listed

Then I can get a loan and do it up.

That'll put this place back on the map.

I admire your optimism.

That slimeball Conway's been stalling it
with the council.

But I'm just not worth it.

They're going to pass it next week.

Why do golds in fact know how to get
their hands on it?

They don't care.

They can regenerate all they like. I am
not open to negotiation.

Don't worry us.

Cubs can't just confiscate stuff without
a warrant.

I know, but Murray knows that. She also
knows its origins are untraceable. Do

you know what she said? She said she's
keeping it safe till I can prove it's

mine. Ah, then you're Donald Duck, mate.

Coke on the rocks.

Leave the ball.

Well, stay in the playground, eh? You
have no idea.

Who did that to you, Kieran?

I don't know.

Well, you should see their faces.

Not hard to work out who owns him. Not
your dad, that's for sure.

I had a single mum, too. Didn't do me
any harm.

Yeah, you strike me as a perfectly well
-rounded individual.

And something tells me I had a proper
meal in quite a while.

Oh, I'm famished.

All right, then.

Don't mind the mess.

It's always like this.

Because I like it that way.

I can see why you don't want to leave.

What are those gold boys going to do
about it?

They get that rich without being
ruthless.

But they're not.

I mean, they can come on all heavy, but
they wouldn't actually hurt anybody,

would they?

Look, I'm not saying you can't look out
for yourself, but I could stay if you

want. Keep an eye out.

Just for a night or two.

Until this blows over.

Haven't you got a V somewhere?

Yeah, of course.

Could be.

If I want to be.

Dickie, throw me a bone here, will you?
I mean, how am I going to get this woman

to sell, eh? How would I know?

Well, you've got your fingers in these
property pies. Can't you give me a hint

or something? Yeah, stay out of it.

That's precisely what got me into my
predicament. Ooh, very asking.

Bought this place off plan for me and
the girlfriend.

That fell apart, just like the economy.

Now I can't shift it.

Or the wife.

Which is the biggest liability.

Doesn't matter how low I drop the rent.

No tenant lasts longer than a month.

It is, isn't it? What's wrong with it?

Nothing. It's got everything you could
possibly wish for.

It works.

No use.

Might as well be haunted.

What is it?

Where's it coming from?

Everywhere.

It's like... It's all around her. All
right, darling.

Is there anything to do with this? It's
not built on Scrooge's grave or

something. First time I heard of it.

It's coming.

It's coming through the pipes.

That's a classic portal, guys.

That's it.

Jamie, are you all right?

It's just a rat.

A very large rat.

Dirty, stinking... No!

Jamie, will you get this bad woman off
me? Will you get her off me?

What's the matter with you? I'll sort it
out.

Just make sure it hurts.

Idiot!

What are you doing here? What the hell
do you think you're doing? I'm trying to

retain... A record number of kneecaps. I
was terrorising a young woman and her

kid. No, an attempt to affect this
painless departure.

You cannot get. You're supposed to be a
mate of hers. Let me tell you, this is a

humane option.

Those rich sods might be scum of the
earth, but you're off the leading scale.

You don't get it, do you? What?

This is the level of desperation to
which they have sunk me.

Jamie, you heard him.

I mean, them gold brothers, they don't
have back off in their vocabulary.

It's all going to have to teach them
then, aren't it?

Oui.

I can hardly do it on my own, can I?

You're the one with the inside
knowledge.

Oh, I thought you said you'd had enough.

Have you?

More than.

I want to help Patrick and the kid.

And so will you if you've got any
answer.

Oh! Oh, God! Jack! Jack! What's the
plan?

Riley. Riley, hello. We spoke earlier in
my application to purchase the freehold

of the warehouse.

The name's Archie Daly. I don't know if
you remember. Oh, I am so sorry, my

love. Stupid.

Well, they're busy right now, aren't
you? Can't it wait?

Not that soon, Jamie.

It certainly has landed.

We made a great team,

James. The possibilities are infinite.
So are the pitfalls.

I got all of it.

You got it, didn't you? What choice did
I have? I'm lucky I didn't know you. Do

you want to put it back? Get in the car.

Big whatever it is.

Hold on, isn't that what it's called,
isn't it? Mate, look. There's the park.

Last bit of greenery you've got left,
that is.

Might as well use WMD. I can't believe
they're going to wipe the whole

off the map. For what? A retail and
entertainment complex?

More like a glorified shopping centre.

Bango's your warehouse.

You know that Conway's a lying git. He
had no intention of selling me this

place. You can't just demolish all those
houses.

Jamie, they could bulldoze through
Buckingham Palace if a planner gives

compulsory purchase.

Look what's this here, look.

For the greater good of the city of
London.

So the Gold Brothers want to buy the
pub's lease, just so they can flatten

But they can't do that if it's got a
preservation order.

That's why Conway wants to stall the
council. If they make it a listed

then all bets are off.

Petra's pub is the only thing that
stands in their way.

So all we've got to do is keep it safe
for two more days.

Oh, Detective, I take it you are
returning what is rightfully mine? No,

collecting what's rightfully mine. What?

Him?

I wonder what you've got to him
yourself.

You can find it here at McDonald's.

Cartwright is his name, according to
criminal records.

Breaking and entering does not amuse me.
You can relax.

Everything's back on track.

So we're out, Conway. We're running,
connecting on post.

Oi!

You told me this was low risk, so your
contribution to my election campaign has

just doubled.

I'll get the plans back, and then the
rest is up to you.

But I'll tell you this, I don't know
what Daly's up to, but there's no way

going to deliver that pub.

I think it's time we closed the deal
properly.

Oh, no, Detective, please, you are
making a big mistake.

He's a good boy. I have known his family
for years, and he wouldn't let her fly.

Well, apart from when he did that
stretch for GBH, you know.

Dickie, he might have been a bad lad in
the past, but he only got out of jail a

few months ago.

Let him swing, Arch. You hardly know the
guy.

He's a good kid, I can tell, and he's
been lifted over what is ostensibly

marvellous. Yeah, they've got pictures
of him in the act.

You're in the clear.

Dickie, listen, that is not the point,
all right?

The guy's at a very difficult stage,
needs a helping hand. It's written all

his face. Least you could do is try and
get him out on bail.

That's like an awful lot of readies,
Arch.

Vicky, listen.

This is not about the money, all right?

Good God.

You're developing a conscience.

No. Just do what you can to get him out
of there, and I promise I'll make it

worth your while.

Posting my boat.

That's what friends are for.

Cool.

So we're going to see Patrick, then?

ASAP. Cool.

Want me to drive?

No, it's all right. I can do it. No, I
don't mind.

I've got to hand it to you, Arch.

I never took you for a good Samaritan.

Hey, he's only done time for GBH. A very
useful guy to have around.

I owe you, Dickie Mint.

Big time.

I know.

So were they good to you then?

I'm used to it.

Inside for long?

Long enough to know I'm never going
back.

Right.

That's good.

Good.

It's better than I am.

I just want to say, you know, thanks.

Never leave a man behind, Dave.

Oh, my God.

Oh. Oh, I don't believe it. Oh, please.
Oh, no.

Call it in. What?

Call it in.

All right. Petra!

Petra!

Yeah, hello.

Fire service, please.

James, please.

It's Victoria.

Petra!

Petra, are you okay?

Yeah. Where's Kim?

Down there.

Kim.

All right, get that blanket.

Okay, finally.

That's right.

Cover it.

Now, when I say go, we're going to head
out, okay?

Go.

This way.

David, let's get this way out of here.

Oh, okay.

You're all right. You're all right.

Ruins that destroyed everything.

At least Kieran's alright.

The couple nearly got killed because of
his pig -headed mum.

It's not your fault, Petra. What does it
feel like?

Ah, it's never as bad as it looks.

I buy the fixtures and fittings and I
can always shift fire damage.

How can you be on the make at a time
like this? I'm trying to help the only

I know how, Jamie.

I'm not supposed to trust you again, am
I? Just like that?

Petra, look on the bright side, love.
I'm trying to raise something from the

ashes. But the building's structurally
sound.

She can still do a refurb with the
insurance.

Nah, you don't want to get bogged down
in all that sweetheart.

Don't mind the grief on the gold,
brothers. This is about principles, if

remember what they are.

Oh, well, that's it. I've had enough of
your holier -than -thou. I might be a

pragmatist, but that does not stop my
heart from beating. Don't give me that.

You're still trying to cover your own
back.

I'm under no delusion here, OK?

They're out to get me. One way or
another, they're going to get me.

Not if we get them first.

Ah, Detective Murray.

Ah, I must be dreaming daily.

Funny you should say that. I had the
same dream as well.

You're in the mood for confession, then.
No, my conscience is clear as a

whistle. That's why I'm offering you an
anonymous tip -off.

I've never believed a word that you
said.

Neither have I. But this is the real
deal.

I have the sort of information that
could put your picture in the

paper. Also, hey, maybe even a
promotion.

Catching criminals like you is all the
satisfaction that I need.

Oh, so I can't tempt you if Councillor
Conway's heading the silver platter

I told you he'd be interested, didn't I,
I told you? But first you've got to

return my lost property that you've been
looking after for me, thank you.

Come on.

Hi, Mr Conway.

This is Frances calling from the gold
office.

Things have taken a sudden uptick.
They'd like to meet up with you as a

of urgency.

But it's essential you bring the
architect's plans with you.

Hello, Nick.

Sorry, yes, Mark, of course. I'm
terribly sorry.

I don't know if you've heard about the
unfortunate fire at Miss Bennet's pub.

Yes, well, it's kind of put things into
perspective now for her. She'd like to

meet up with you to discuss terms.

What about our cash, Daley?

Yes, yes, of course, that's an integral
item, and I'll bring that with me. But

she insists on dealing with you face to
face.

To face.

We're not supposed to meet in public.

Believe me, I could do without it.

We invited you, Conway.

I did.

And if Mrs. Bennet's to let you fire her
out of her birthright, the least you

can do is to let her out of her butchers
out of development plans.

What do you think this is, Daily? A
workers' cooperative?

For God's sake, can you just show her
the plans to get this over with?

So much for community regeneration.

Yeah, well, you've got to think in a
bigger picture, haven't you, love? I

it's about providing jobs and boosting
the local economy.

Yeah, making a shedload of cash.

Can't stand in the way of progress.

Well, after much deliberation,
consideration and negotiation, I have

persuaded Miss Bennet to accept your
original offer. What are

you doing?

Well, she won't accept it from me. She
what?

If I'm going to sell my soul, then I
want to look into the eyes of the guy

buying it.

Welcome to the real world.

So, matters closed?

Well, yes, indeed. It actually covered
the emotional upset.

Some people are just cheaper than
others.

Gentlemen, if I should have a few more
minutes of your time, I'd like to go

some of the final... You guys think you
own the entire city, don't you?

Why? You got a problem with that?

Well, we're all entitled to our own
ideological differences, but let's not

ahead of ourselves here, gentlemen. No,

no, no, I'd rather talk about corrupt
politicians and illegitimate property

defenders. Whoa, whoa, whoa! Please,

come on, eh?

We're friends here now.

Petra may not be touche with the itty
-bitty world of big business, but come

let's not get narked over there.

Have we got a deal or not?

You want to know what I think about your
money?

Talked about blood stores.

round, boys.

Talk to our lawyers, because we've done
nothing wrong. Oh, well, you're going to

find it very difficult to explain our
little movie.

We've got the whole deal on camera.

Add that to the fire in the pub, and I
think you'll find there's been some

about it.

In a van.

All right.

You promised me Conway.

No! No! No!

No!

No! No!

No! No!

No! No!

No!

Only thing to do with a dirty

politician.

So, you still get to buy your warehouse?

I spoke to Bryony at the council. She
reckons it'll just be a matter of days.

So that was well worth us going through
all that pavlova.

I was doing my real job, thanks.

You don't really want to go back to
being a cabbie, do you?

Because I've got an opening for a man of
your talent.

Tell you what.

I'll even find a place for you to live.

Here, I've just acquired this luxury
apartment you can have.

Obviously, at a reasonable rent.

All this you see before you, Jamie, it
could be yours.

Think of it.

Think of it as a gesture of goodwill.

Hang on a minute.

Why are you opening me out like this?

Someone did the same for me once.

There's no catch?
