All language subtitles for The Gentle Touch s05e01 Finders Keepers

Yes? Oh, hello.

I'm fine, fine.

Are you into work or the new flat?

Why, when are you moving?

Today. I know, it's all been chaotic.

We completed a week ago, but the people
who are buying this place have already

sold theirs.

So they've got to move into a hotel. So
they're desperate to move in.

Handle with extreme care, sentimental
attachments and all that.

I'm sorry, what was I saying? You agreed
to move.

Look, do you want to put off coming in
and leave it for a day or two? Oh, no.

I've got Mike here. Mike Turnbull. He's
sort of supervising things.

Yes.

Look, I mean...

Look, Bill, if there was something, I
mean, if you had something lined up for

me, I mean, like something pressing,
well, I mean, I would just have to leave

to them, wouldn't I?

Well, sure, sure, I'd get you drift, but
listen, no flannel, I need you.

I'm understaffed, overworked and up to
here, so if you could manage to drag

yourself away, I'd be great.

Give me half an hour, OK?

Steve!

Not now, Mum. Steve, look, I've got to
go in. We'll miss you.

Honest.

Or kitchen cabinets?

Um, they stay.

Storage heated? They go. Look, Mike.

Look, Mike, I've just been talking to
Bill Rutherford, and I told him we were

to here, but he was adamant.

He wants you in?

Like yesterday.

He wouldn't take no for an answer.

Once we've got this show on the road,
I'll buy you a burger.

It's a big deal.

Giant thumb burger with Frenchies.

Go wash your mouth out with some water.
What have you got against hamburgers? A

moment on the lips, a lifetime on the
hips.

I happen to like your hips. Don't do
that. Stop it, I like it.

All right, off you go, Inspector.

Have a good day, and don't worry, we'll
manage, won't we? I think between us,

I'll manage, yes. Oh, how wonderful it
is to relax, assured that everything is

in your capable hands.

Get off.

I know that you do.

I happen to love your mother, okay?

Will I see you tonight?

You betcha.

Good luck.

There he is, eh?

Well, if I drop it, it ain't, cos it's
bleeding up. Oh, come on, Clorico, I'm

humping. I am humping, it's him not
humping.

Dudley, give him a hand.

This one do.

Cut the comedy, we ain't got all day.

Here, Dudley, get your arse in here,
quick.

Hop over there.

I'm just having to find a key to this.

Well, what do you reckon?

Answer it, then.

I left Pendon to get away from people
like you. I'm not people. I'm your

prospective stepfather.

Anyway, I thought it might be personal.

Like Karen.

Could you open that?

That?

Leave off.

Does that mean yes or no?

Charles Clay.

I'll cut my teeth on one of these.

That was my Auntie Wynne. Oh?

She's already over there.

Over where?

At the new flat.

What's she doing there?

Well, she's waiting for us.

Waiting for us to do what?

She's driven up from Herne Bay with a
load of luggage, a wheelchair and my

granddad on the roof rack.

She's waiting for us to move her in.

To move them in.

It's their new home.

Did you know about this?

It was mentioned.

It wasn't bloody mentioned to me.

Yeah.

Yeah, I do understand.

Yeah.

Yeah, just... Yeah, all right, will do.
Yeah, bye.

You look all right to me.

I feel fine.

Now what do I say?

Welcome back? It's a wish I say I'm glad
to be back.

Three shows over?

Business as usual.

I've been standing for Bob, so I've been
using your office.

Want me to be Kate? Why? Just say the
word. Are you Liverpool with?

Are you?

Give me a minute, OK?

Go on.

Morning.

Do you intend to pull that pin, Mr.
Taylor?

Yeah. Mrs. Forbes!

Mrs. Forbes!

Big girl.

Ex -police.

We're in the middle of July.

July's got flat feet.

Where's Phillips?

At the dentist's. Impacted wisdom tooth.
Oh, horrible.

Unbearable. This tooth ain't helping any
either.

I can't get over that death.

I'll give you a leg up. Oh, shut up.

I wonder how long it'll stay looking
like this.

Not long.

Oh, lovely. Where'd they come from?

I sent a funeral a couple of days back.

Oh, thank you.

You didn't feel at home?

I guess I'd better show him my face. Is
he free?

For you?

I, uh, think he missed you.

In his own funny way.

Now, what police officers do in their
own time is their own business,

they don't infringe the rules.

Well, your simple addition isn't just
faulting Mrs. Croft, it's positively

dangerous. You go on putting those sort
of two and twos together and you could

wind up in court.

On what grounds?

Well, you name them.

Beginning with malicious slander.

What was all that about?

That was Bob Croft's wife, and that is
the fifth time she's phoned me in three

days. And before you say anything, take
a look at that.

That is a letter written by Mrs. Croft
to the DAC.

Informed by a reliable source, that
damnapuss is or has been engaged in

relations.

Conduct totally unbecoming.

Officer of Detective Inspector Rank
attached to the woman's marriage. Is

She's implying... She's implying that
you and Bob had a toyed affair, that the

powers that be took exception and
banished him to the boondocks.

Bob asked for a transfer, no.

Scotland. It's not Siberia. Glasgow
Central.

All right, I settled with Siberia. You
may have to.

Meaning what?

Meaning I can only turn a blind eye for
so long.

Mike Turnbull.

Maggie, publish the bans or banish the
publicity. Put your house in order, yes?

Put my house in order?

I don't make the rules.

The rules, as you call them, are
nonsensical and totally hypocritical.

you. You don't make the rules.

Right. You just go by them.

Sorry. That's unfair.

But you've got to admit, some rules are
made to be broken.

I didn't hear that.

Very salubrious.

Very salubrious indeed.

I thought you said it was child's play.

Patience, Fat Henry, patience.

Gonna look a bit silly if the old bill
dries past, don't we?

Will you shut up? I'm trying to listen
for the tumblers. You two go and listen

for the law.

How long, Dudley? I'm working cack
-ended. Relax.

Second time around, it needs more
thought.

Bill, you can't just leap into marriage.

Besides, at the end of the day, what
have you got, another bit of paper?

Oh, Maggie, our lives are governed by
pieces of paper, and don't pretend you

didn't know because you do.

Look, here is a statement, one of
hundreds, for the prosecution, swearing

certain man was at a certain place at a
certain time, practically guaranteeing

conviction minimum six years.

Apart from this statement from the
defence, swearing that this lot are

their teeth. Paper, I'm not saying it's
paper.

Welcome back.

I can't tell you how glad I am to be
back.

So, what have you got for me?

A piece of paper.

Oh, you want me to resign? I'll sign it.

Calm down.

Well?

Open it.

Well, it's your privilege.

Nice to know you can still do it.

What's the matter with you? What have
you done?

What?

Fire form, Reggie. Here.

What's up with him?

Well, he had a father like. We're not
peculiar.

We ought to do something.

Like what?

Well, what? Give him a kiss of life.

What do you mean, we?

You give him a kiss of life, he was now
concerned.

We ought to do something.

We ought to have a butcher's inside that
safe. That's what we ought to do.

Come on, Dudley, perform.

I don't believe this.

Come on.

It's not bad.

Not bad?

Apart from the watermark. Apart from the
watermark, it's damn near perfect.

Don't let me add it to the reject.
They've improved on that.

What's that, the $1 ,000 bill? What's
that worth?

A bit of exchange depends on the
strength of the pound. Call it 630.

Give or take?

A quid or two.

Yeah, well, who's quibbling?

What's this?

1 ,000 Deutschmarks worth about 250
quid.

Where did this come from?

Regional Crime Squad got a tip -off,
raided the premises off Denmark Street a

couple of days ago. All they found were
signs of a swift departure, and about

700 ,000 of those are in a row of
dustbins.

Any of these in circulation?

No one's saying.

Not even a hint?

It's all gone very quiet out there.
They're frightened.

It's all a bit too big for them.

Well, if it's that big, how come we got
in on it?

Well, what little information we have
suggests that there's another four,

possibly five million notes of that sort
of denomination stashed in and around

our patch.

You want me to turn them up?

Well, turn up a few, preferably with a
print, something to give us a lead. Not

for the Treasury, for me.

Tied up by lunchtime, I'll buy you a
drink.

Are you pushing the boat out?

Why not?

Unless, uh, unless you care to pay. Oh!

I think... What?

I think I'd better have a word with my
mum's accountant.

This is silly.

What do you mean, silly?

This is silly. All this, what are we
going to do with it? It's silly. If this

silly, you'll talk to a very silly
person. Now, just shut up and fill the

if I have the urge. You suppressed it.

You what? You heard. This lot goes out
of sight until we know what's what. This

lot gets divided up four ways.

Burning a hole in your pocket, is it,
Reggie? Look, if there's going to be a

share, I want my share back off.

You ought to give the man a hearing,
Reg. We're all in this together.

Well, one for all and all for one, is
it? Look, no spending.

Not yet. Not until we know it's safe.
And in the meantime, we bury it.

Where? In the open. The man's right.
Where?

Dudley's Place.

All above board, under the floorboards.

That means Alice will have to be in on
it.

Your Alice is one of the straightest
people I know.

Does that give her a partnership?

Yeah, why not?

She can have half your share.

I'll be with.

I'm sorry we're late.

I mean in arriving. But I understood
that it wasn't until you phoned that I

knew that you were supposed to be... Are
you all right?

Mike, this is my Auntie Win.

My grandfather, George.

We've been waiting here for the better
part of three hours. You caught us on

hop? On the hop?

Seems our communications have been a bit
cocked up.

I'd be obliged if you would help my
brother -in -law out of the car.

Steve, have your granddad out of the
car.

And take care of the luggage.

They do perfectly well. They had
advanced warning.

Look at that. A loose floorboard.

Someone's only got to trip on that to
break a leg.

The surveyor took it up. It'll be fixed.
Everything in hand. Your quarters will

be prepared.

They were expecting us.

Expecting us to what? Camp on the
street?

Supposing you wanted to go to the
lavatory?

I do. This block doesn't even boast a
porter.

The nearest telephone's a mile away and
it's been vandalised.

Are you sure you haven't got the days
mixed up?

Don't complicate the issue, George.
You're confused enough as it is. I've

everything written down.

It was all agreed, all sorted out, here,
in writing.

15th.

Today's the 12th.

I told you to go before we left Earned
Bay.

In there.

Never ceases to amaze me how some people
live.

What on earth induced Maggie to buy this
place? It was love at first sight.

Really? I never thought of Maggie as
impulsive. She exercised a bit of

imagination. I think she could have done
better.

She's happy.

Let's hope she stays that way.

Cheer up.

And if the paint, you won't recognise
it. More than a paint job she's in need

of. Where's she going to sleep?

Well, that's a question that gets asked
in the gorilla joke.

You heard it?

No. Well, the tagline is anywhere it
bloody likes.

Are you trying to tell me something? Put
that advert out, I'll try.

As a prospective stepfather, I think
she'll cut your prospects off.

That oven is big enough for an old
boiler just like this. Dave!

I really do think we ought to get the
furniture sorted.

Sure. Well, I'd like to start arranging,
so finish a conversation with... I

don't think it's fair on your mother to
get back after a hard day's work to find

a state of total chaos, do you?

Just a little cooperation, that's all I
ask.

Right. You're a good boy.

Easy, Pop.

What are you, a bunch of bleeding
amateurs? You go out on a simple blag

back the most wanted men in Britain.
Alice, this is one robbery that is not

going to get reported.

You can rest assured that apart from the
people in this room, nobody knows a

thing. I've heard of bloody ostriches,
but talk about blind stupidity. Have you

got a clue what you are into? Nobody
knows a thing?

Who do you think you are, the invisible
men? Have you got any idea of the kind

of organisation that's behind this sort
of money, have you?

They'll never know.

They'll make it their business to know.

And when they do, I wouldn't be seeing
dead with any one of you. Alice, you are

out of order. And you are out of your
element, Dudley. These are duds, Dudley,

duds!

Look, we've got to agree on a plan of
action.

Plan? What is it, what? It's money,
let's spend it. Let's talk.

Talk? That's right, talk. And when we've
finished talking... We put it to the

vote. It's a lot of money, Reg.

It is a lot of paper.

Waste paper.

And it's going to spell a lot of trouble
for you lot unless you start using your

loads. We're going to split it. No,
we're not. I'll take my whack. You

Reggie, this is funny money.

Yeah, well, I'll laugh all the way to
the Bahamas. Oh, don't talk so bloody

dark. Don't you tell me I'm talking
dark. Don't you talk to my heart.

She's got his mouth right.

Sit down.

Now, Alice is right.

We know nothing about this lot, nothing.

Where it stems from originally, where it
was destined for ultimately.

Now, I can't speak for you lot, but I
know one thing.

I'd rather just walk away from this lot
with a pocket full of chains than end up

at the bottom of the river with a pocket
full of stones.

Now, if we're going to come out of this
with a bit of profit, we're going to

have to box clever.

We're going to have to take them at
vice.

Stick your advice.

I'll arrange a meet with a man.

Oscar. We need him in on this.

He comes expensive.

He comes reliable.

We've been well looked after by him over
the years.

Look, bring him in on this and we'll end
up owing. I would rather end up owing

than end up in shtook.

Has Oscar ever let us down before, has
he? Oh, no.

He always rises to the occasion.

Well, then, let's put it to the vote.

Those in favour of consulting the man.

I'm all in favour.

I'll go along.

Reggie? I'm in.

Dad?

Well, as my old dad used to say, 10 % of
something is better than 100 % of

nothing.

You'd better give him a bell then,
Elliot.

Tell him it's urgent. See if he can come
round this evening. About seven, yeah?

Cheers.

Thank you.

This is the nearest I've ever been to
being rich.

Was you ever rich, Dudley?

No, not for long.

How much is this lot worth?

I don't know that.

Calculator, Elliot.

Dollars.

Divided by 1.

Gives a grand sterling total of £1 ,582
,278.

And 4p.

Can we get away with this, Fat Henry?

Well, like they say, you have to
speculate if you want to accumulate.

It's all a gamble, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, Tammy did well.

Yeah, fine.

Elmo's had called a suspect. I didn't
care if it knows.

Who? Where?

Joe Carlyle's bedding shop.

Makes sense. How much?

400 quid.

Is he being searched?

No, not yet. Where is he now? Well,
they're processing him.

He'd better have a word.

Well, can't somebody else deal with it?

Now then, I am going to buy you that
drink. What?

I think I must admire about you, Garth.
What's that?

Sense of priorities.

Policeman's lot is terrible, Arthur.

Maggie.

It's for you.

Jack Forbes?

Rather than leave it as a surprise, I
thought I'd let you know that your

and your auntie Wynne are here.

What? Where?

Here. Where are you speaking from?

What are they doing there?

Well, your father's recovering from the
journey and your auntie Wynne's about to

arrange the furniture and no doubt the
sleeping arrangements to her particular

specifications. But we're not ready for
them yet. I mean, I haven't even...

Haven't even told me.

What do you want me to do? You want me
to tell her she's not wanted? Don't be

stupid.

Pardon? Can you cope?

Easily. I can always get on my bike.

Look, do what you can. Try and keep the
peace. I'll sort it all out when I get

back, all right?

I'd appreciate a tender word.

It's difficult right now.

No word of love?

I'll talk to you later, OK?

Thanks a lot. Sorry I've taken up your
precious time.

Bye.

So... How are things?

Fine.

Good. I said things are fine. Yeah, I
heard you.

You've read my medical report?

Got it framed.

All I was going to ask was... Am I
living in the Garden of Eden?

Are you?

I may have an ups and downs, but I
hope... Never doubted it.

So, what's new?

Got any problems?

Few.

Domestic? Domestic.

Genie? No. Can I ask you?

Well, things are, well...

They're not too good, no.

That bad?

Pretty bad.

You're not thinking of divorce?

It could come to that, yeah.

Hi, Dick.

Don't speak.

What was that?

I hoped, I mean I thought you had locked
your... No, no, I had an impacted

wisdom tooth. Wisdom tooth?

You still got it?

Yeah, well, look... No, no thanks.

You had an injection?

Are you kidding? They were drilling for
over an hour. You're talking normally.

Well, for you.

I waited for the swelling to go down,
didn't I?

You had lunch?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I thought it best. You know, to grab
a bite. Something easily digestible,

just in case.

Sit down. Just in case. No, no, I'm
fine.

I'm not. I feel faint.

From hunger.

I want you to take over.

Suspect downstairs has been apprehended
with a pocket full of dud notes.

Finish these, then go and have a word
with him.

Keep him in company while I clear the
ulcer.

Will do. Oh, yeah, sure.

Oh, Jake, um, right if I stay on in
here?

Make yourself at home.

I may look young.

But I'm not stupid.

I'll tell you a word.

Where did this come from? I found it.
Where?

In a dustbin.

There are 4 ,600 pounds there.

It's massive, isn't it?

What did you do with the rest?

I lost it. Where? On a horse. What
horse?

Panter's Lad, 2 o 'clock, Kempton. I can
check that. I'm sure you can. I've got

a paper. I'm sure you have. I study
form.

I'm sure you do.

You're taking the fifth.

Sit lightly.

Well? He says he found it.

Maybe he did.

All right, I'll have a go.

Ready?

What is this? Wind up?

You're playing games? Want to play games
with me? You're in the mood to die to a

death. Don't try it on with me, little
man. Don't try it on with me. I'm in the

mood to put you through the wringer. You
think I'm joking? I want one word out

of place. Just one word!

All right, easy, easy. Easy nothing. I'm
going to have him.

Name? I'm clean, Gav. Honest, I am. Ask
what your bloody name was.

Loon. Reginald Loon.

That does it.

I'm going out.

I'm going out to get the book. I'm going
to come back in here and bury you to

death with it!

We get them like that. Young, ambitious.

Worse than bloody animals.

Talk about being out of bloody line.

Pouncing on me like that, I could have
had a heart attack.

An honest citizen goes out to get a bit
of air, and before you know it, he's

being mugged by the bloody law. Now,
don't bullshit me.

You reckon you found this? Straight up.

Where? Under a brick.

I can always bring the animal back. I
asked you where.

Swan Court, opposite, you know, down the
other end, the rubbly end.

Is that your real name, Reginald Loon? I
did some porridge a long time ago.

When I come out, I change my name by
deed poll. What was it before you

it?

Dromgoole. Dermot Dromgoole.

It was a prisoner's rehabilitation
society that suggested that I do it.

Why was that?

Well, they saw me as being a victim of a
perverted course of justice.

How come?

Well, I was picked it out, wasn't I?

I mean, you lot wanted a body and I was
the first one available.

I am the result of a miscarriage, but I
don't bear a crutch.

I'm going straight now, honest, I am.

I found religion.

Got a part -time job with a festival of
light mob.

I am no longer capable of wrongdoing.

You're past it.

You've been known to take the drink.

Six months and they pension me off. This
sort of caper? Don't want to know.

Regional Crime Squad, their baby. They
can clean it up.

Where does that leave me?

I want you out of it. Off my patch.

I'll leave it to you, then.

Yeah.

You leave it to me.

The moment you give the word, I'll be
off.

Then stay off.

Right.

So you stuck a tail on Reggie Lou? I
did. Who?

Dodger Kimms. Nice one. Wired?

Personally. And Maggie, is she busying
herself?

She's back with a vengeance.

She's arranging a meet.

He calls himself Reggie Lou.

Right on, I know.

Have I said something funny?

Are you on something?

Are you sniffing? Well, come on, Maggie,
don't get heavy.

Reggie, Reggie's small time.

He's an eeny, weeny, meeny man. And has
been.

He has his nail body.

Steals piggy banks from tiny tots.

What's the word on this candidate note,
Caper?

Got all quiet, you're in.

That's big time. And very, very heavy.

I want to meet.

Steve, don't punish yourself. Make a
phone call.

There's only one phone.

You can only use one phone at a time.

No, it's difficult.

If it's private, we'll leave, won't we?

There's a telephone up the road.

Is there?

Yeah, but it's been vandalised.

How do you know?

Wynne told me.

Well, I dare say she'll soon have that
back in order.

Her art's in the right place.

Thanks for the tip. I'll know where to
strike.

Friends, Romans and country folk.

Lend me your ears.

He snapped.

No, seriously, look, I've got to talk
about this. It's been preying on my

and I want to discuss it with you among
men before Mum gets back.

We men are listening.

Aren't we?

So what are you saying? You can't help
it or you won't help? I'm saying it's

very thin ice and I don't fancy skating
on it. There's big money behind this

caper. And behind the money is a lot of
mean men. I didn't come here for a

lecture. What is this? What's happened
to you? You've changed. You're getting

mean in my old age. And I'm not
lecturing. I'm explaining.

I'm not looking for an explanation. I'm
looking for information that can be

laid.

Now I've been off sick. Now I'm back in
business.

Russell's thrown this one at me and I
intend to make a catch.

Are you with me?

You used to be reasonable.

Well, reasonably reasonable.

What is this? A one -woman crusade? I've
had time to think, Eskimo.

To ask myself why I need to despise
criminals now I think I know.

It's because they don't care who
suffers, who goes under, as long as it

profit for them.

And who is it that suffers, who goes
under? The person least capable of

defending themselves.

And whose job is it to defend those
people? It's mine.

Now I'm looking for a lead and I'm going
to get it. Or I'm going to make sure

your fur starts flying.

Reginald Loon.

Who's part of a penny ant firm operating
out of premises not under miles from...

Yeah, well, we'll just have to wait and
see, won't we?

No, no, no, I haven't seen him yet.
One's got long tapering fingers, one's

short bachelorette fingers, and the
other's got a fist like a bunch of

Which one's the plumber? Well, fair one,
the BMW.

Oh, ho. Look, do you mind, do you mind?

I'm having my ears bent two ways.

I'll call you back. Now, what's going
on?

Maggie wants him out on Oboe. So?

So she just had a medicine pass and he
was the best man for the job. Because?

Because he doesn't look like a
policeman.

And? And he feels he's being
discriminated against. Do you? I do.

How can you feel discriminated against?
All right, all right, all right, enough!

This is not the Oxford Debating Society.
It is a central London nick and we're

discussing a forgery case.

A biggie. A biggie?

What? I simply said a biggie, sir. Well,
don't. You sound like a parrot.

What have you turned up?

I've drawn a blank. Everywhere.

If it's bad news... Don't want to know.
Good news.

Give her a chair.

Now, not so much a lead as a pointer.
Now, a gang of petty thieves known

as the Riverside Trio, except there's
four of them.

No, no, no. Hear me out.

Now, they're into anything that shows a
profit, but they specialise in removing

items, preferably antiques, from
unoccupied houses. We're discussing a

case, Maggie. Just one minute, OK?

Now, the leader of this so -called gang
is a bit of a mystery, known as Fat

Henry. Now, his team consists of a
failed boxer, nicknamed Chloroform, and

-safecracker, labelled Dudley
Twofingers.

The active?

The yard know him, yes.

How long have they known him?

Since he was Dudley Fivefingers.

All right, that's three. Who's the
fourth?

Calls himself Reginald Loon.

The plot thickens. Don't it just?

Let's just hope Dodger hasn't lost him.
Meantime? Meantime, dig up as much

background detail as you can. Right. Me
on the phone, Unicar.

Would anybody care to fill me in?

What time does Maggie get home normally?

Normally? We expect her when we see her.

How convenient.

I need a strong man to help me with
something heavy.

Steve.

Thank you.

Go to... If it's too much trouble.

I'm coming.

Oh!

I'm not asking you to put your head on
the block.

No, Mr. Gafford. It's not one -up, Mr.
Gafford. Oh, come on now, you're being

coy. But it would give me a...

Yeah. I know it's confidential
information.

I wouldn't be asking if it wasn't, would
I? Well, if I had to compete for

information... Well, sure.

In which case, I could read about it in
the Police Gazette. Why, you? Well, I

thought it'd be best to go to the
fountainhead. Try another test. Yes, we

made, actually. It was at the annual...
Yeah.

All I'm asking for is a hint. No, I live
at home, actually, with my father and

my son.

Yes, you do, homie. He's about to start
university.

All right, that's better. No, not my
father.

Right. I'm sorry if I put you on the
spot. Why, no, sir. All square.

Well, if we come up with a body...
Wonderful.

Yeah. Yeah, I'll buy you a large one.
Thank you very much. Yeah. Bye.

If you're wearing an earring, I'll
ignore you.

Hello?

Hello, Dodger.

Sergeant Phillips?

Any day yet?

About 15 minutes ago.

Yeah. I'll get back to you.

What's Phillips driving?

Ford. I got one five.

And what's being said?

Looks like a long wait.

Maggie.

Telephone at your new flat. Is it
operational?

It was a lunchtime.

All right, then. Off you go.

I'm not asking for special treatment.

Well, you're not getting any. Heard what
he just said. It's going to be a long

wait. Anything exciting happens, we'll
give you a bell.

You sure? Sure. Off you go.

My overtime sheet should make you the
richest man in the building.

I remember that.

I'm not hanging about, Alice. Give him
five minutes, please, Oscar.

Okay, so where is he? Anybody know? He
won't be far away. He's an interested

party. Look, you're pushing your luck.
You realise that? He's probably out

getting pulled right now. That occur to
anybody?

Not Reggie. He's too clever for that.
Well, like you, dickhead. Look, I tell

what, you've bitten off more than you
can chew. You do realise that, don't

We're here to discuss terms, Oscar.

Well, I'll tell you what it's going to
cost you.

Didn't think you'd function free of
charge. And don't think you're into

because you ain't. There's a lot of
money in these bags, Oscar. There's a

forged notes in them bags, Henry. You
saying that lawyer's worth us?

So you, Sunbeam, not worth the paper
it's printed on. What are you going to

Try and offload it?

The law would have you before you had
time to convert enough of that to get

yourself a bent lawyer.

What are you going to do? Put an ad in
the paper?

Reward wanted?

What do I have to do to get this message
across to you, eh?

Don't go off the deep end. Just sit down
and explain, eh?

Right, well, there's only one option
open to you. Oh, yeah? What's that?

Well, it might have a resale value.

You with me?

You mean sell it back?

That's right. Sell it back to the people
what printed it.

I'll have to ask about, right? Discuss,
negotiate.

Well, what's it going to be worth? Ten
percent?

I don't know. I told you, I'll have to
negotiate. Look, this stuff is

manufactured by a large organisation.

A million pound outlay brings in a...

Sweaty.

You on your own?

No, I brought the dagnum gold pipers
with me. Come on, Alex, let me in.

What are we holding here then, awake?

Where the hell have you been?

I got pulled.

You did what?

It's all right, don't worry, I've
smoothed it all out. You got pulled?

for what?

Routine questioning. It happens, Oscar,
as you doubtless know.

I did a bit of that, collected a bit of
verbal from a right animal and kaput.

All over. They released me.

Were you followed?

Leave off. Am I that simple?

Sandy, Barrett.

Oh, hello, Dodger.

Problems? Jake, this is a coalition job.

Sorry, I'm not with you. If we're
supposed to be working in collaboration

regional crime or some other squad, you
might have let me know.

I don't like working in tandem. Makes my
job twice as hard to have some... Whoa.

What you on about?

Did a front tail on this Loon character.

There's been a third geezer behind it
ever since we left Seven Dials.

Where are you?

Just followed Loon into a council block.

You been spotted?

Not yet, but it's looking a bit hairy.

Just had a tail.

He's still with you?

He's right across the street.

Look, I'm telling you, I have been
positively vetted, like a ginger Tom.

Painful, but as he would say, somewhat
salubrious. And thank you, I'd love a

drink.

What's happening?

We're haggling.

How are we doing?

Think of a number. Between one and five.

Four and a half. You'd be bloody lucky.

Here you are.

Oh, best glass and two pieces of ice.

You're special.

What are you after?

All she can get.

Two and a half percent of the sterling.

Two hundred and fifty grand.

Divided up. Five ways.

And safe conduct all round, yeah? Look,
the minute it starts looking dangerous,

I blow it out, don't I?

And this lot stays here.

You're going to have to deliver in the
event.

We'll deliver.

Right.

Well, cheers.

Cheers.

And thank you.

Don't mention it.

There's something I'd like to mention.
Oh, don't be a wet blanket. We're no

one's allowed to be serious.

God, is that the time? I'd just like to
say... The other customs as I am to

public speaking... Steve, I think it
behoves us...

To wish Maggie great joy and happiness
in her new home. And may all unwelcome

attentions be diverted.

She's talking about burgers.

You feeling out of it, Dad?

No, I'm fine.

Can I offer you any of this, I'm afraid?

Champagne? I could go a pint a bit.
Well, I've got things to attend to.

How many glasses of this tupper you had?

Three, but who's counting?

You're going to pay with any supper.

Leave off, love. Yeah, leave off,
Maggie. He's a big boy now.

And he's got some news to impart.

Mike? What's the news?

He's winding you up. He wants to leave
home.

Wants to do what?

This is something that... You wanted to
talk about. Mike, do you mind? I'll deal

with this.

It's Karen. You know Karen.

Well, I've met her, no.

She's... She's wonderful.

She's good for me, yes.

So?

She suggested I move in or call the
whole thing off.

Move in where?

With her.

What is it? Superior accommodation?

She rents a bed, sit in our school. What
about here?

What about here?

Well, you've got your own room here, all
mod cons.

Well, can't you move in here with me? No
way.

Oh, you see what I mean. No, I see what
you mean.

What are you suggesting? That you move
into rented accommodation with this,

um... Karen.

Karen. And I subsidise you in an Earl's
Court loveness while a perfectly good

room here stays empty?

There's no question of you subsidising
us.

What is she, then, an heiress?

Two can live as cheaply as one.

My God!

He's just about to start university and
he's still talking like an infant. You

need to see a psychiatrist.

I need some air.

Whoops.

So, Oscar, what's the drill?

Finish our drinks and we split.

Then what?

You keep your heads down in there, traps
shut, all of you. Understood?

One whisper of this gets out, you'll
have some very unwelcome visitors on

doorstep. You'll keep us posted, yeah?

Yeah, I'll keep in touch with Alice.

If I find through, I'm the plumber,
right? That lot is tapped.

With you.

Right. Well, you don't see me again till
the share out.

Fair enough.

There was a fairy. Her name was Nuff.

Fair enough.

He's pissed.

And you're sober?

I'm going to get my head down.

Good night, all.

Right. They'll all go one at a time.

You all right, Bernard?

I feel very happy.

Off you go, then.

Good night, Alice.

Thanks for the hospitality.

You're welcome.

Reggie, Fat Henry, Oscar.

Take care.

Reggie.

I'll give him a second.

What's the matter with you? You don't
look too happy.

Me? I was right, isn't I, Princess? Just
that... What?

Well, so near and yet... You're not
worried about anything. We didn't slip

If we had, it'd be on the news by now.

We'll be in touch.

Look after yourself.

You are reasonably confident, yeah?

Yeah, reasonably, yeah.

I mean, you're just taking precautions.

Well, I don't want my fingers burnt any
more than you do, do I?

Nobody's on to us, no way.

Look, if they was on to us, we'd be
under surveillance, wouldn't we? And I'd

have spotted it, wouldn't I?

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude.

Oh, it's all right, then.

It's just that it's getting late for me.

And I wanted to say goodnight before I
turned in.

I've tucked George in all safe and
sound.

You won't get a peep out of him till
morning. Thanks. Thank you.

I assumed it was all right for me to
have them move the single spare bed into

your room.

Where's my bed?

Oh, that's in there. All made up.

The single bed's for me.

Well, I do have to sleep somewhere.

Fine. I'll say goodnight.

Hold up, I think... Hang about.

Yeah, I think this is number three now.

I think you're talking a lot of number
two.

It's not easy.

You should be stuck where I am.

It's a council block, communal entrance.
A lot of coming and going, to -ing and

fro -ing.

And it's getting late.

I'm sure you're doing your best.

I am.

Do better.

Out.

Are we safe?

No, not exactly.

What do you mean?

We are what is known as under
observation.

God almighty, are you sure?

Yeah, sticks out like a sore thumb.

Wasn't there when I come in, so I must
have followed Reg. What are we going to

do? Well, keep our heads for a start.

Well, supposing they decide to raid?

Raid? No, they won't. Not yet, anyway.

After bigger fish than our Dudley.

And that?

That? Could have got that anywhere on
the street.

No, they're after the big ones.

And you?

What are you after?

What about a bit of cooperation?

Smooth bastard.

Yeah, you, uh... You wouldn't be holding
anything back, would you? Like what?

Well, I mean, you haven't talked to
anybody, have you? I mean, like, apart

your lot.

Is the Pope Polish?

What is this? What do you want about?

I mean, you've looked through the bags,
yeah?

For what?

I mean, you've had a look. Yeah, for
what?

I mean, that's all there was right in
the safe. I mean, nobody's hanging on to

anything. That's all there was, all of
it. Look.

No, I don't mean it. I mean, apart from
the money.

Apart from the money?

What else are you interested in?

Well, now you can't mention it. Oh.

Oscar? That's right, I'm swimming.

What are you doing?

I just couldn't sleep.

Well, what are you looking for?

That's all right, love. Relax.

Well, what do you want?

A glass of water.

Try the tap.

Still looking forward to the good life?

With you?

With me.

Do you?

Wouldn't let anything come between me
and that.

Well, you just hang in there, babe.

Meaning what?

Well, there's this little black book,
right?

And just to let you know that I know
what it is you are not talking about.

If you've got it, you hang on to it.

Is it important?

Just hang on to it.

You with me?

I'm with you.

Right.

I dislike talkative people as a rule.

But I tell you this, old son, by the
time I've finished, you'll be waxing

loquacious.
