All language subtitles for Chance In A Million s02e04 And What Shall We Do For A Ring

Here I go again.

I hear the trumpet blow again.

Oh, what a blow again.

Taking a chance on love.

Here I slide again.

About to take that ride again.

Starry -eyed again.

Taking, taking a chance on love.

with her, dearie. It's all right,
Mother, all right.

We've got to know.

We've got a right to know. Of course we
have, Petal, but we made a promise,

didn't we? And what was it we promised?

I promised to keep calm, not to worry,
and not to cry.

We fixed the car.

Not the dens, of course. We've got the
light working. I rang the garage in time

for driving it back now.

So you'll be off on your holiday.

Well, that's very kind of him. Look, it
wasn't Tom's fault, Daddy. He was only

waving hello at you. That woman had no
right to think she was being waved out

the drive.

See, Mummy's still in shock.

Yes, because of this engagement.

There are some things, Alison, that we
ought to talk to you about before you

decide. I'm 27, Daddy.

In any way, I got a book out of the
library.

that someone with your willful
personality would have a lot of problems

a partner in life. But to give yourself
in desperation to this man... There's

nothing wrong with Tom.

The man's a criminal.

He's unemployed.

He's got no moral standards.

There's hair growing out of his ears.

Eh? Well, it's a recognised sign of a
debauched personality.

Oh, my God. Yes, all right.

I'll take a couple of these.

You'd better have one of the green ones
as well, for the bowel movement.

I'm sorry, Daddy, but I'm engaged to be
married to Tom, and that's that.

off on holiday.

You avenged New Horizons.

Must be really looking forward to it,
huh?

You've always got a home with us, Petal.
Remember that?

We could invite Mr. Hinstridge up for
the day from the nursing home, if you

like. Bye -bye, Daddy. Have a lovely...

daddy one last thing i suggest

you don't go through town high street
blocked off been major robbery

Parents look tired.

Do you, Tom?

Yes, Mother especially.

Any particular reason?

Oh, just general stress, I think.

Nothing you can really put your finger
on.

No.

Probably just need holiday, that's all.
That's right, all right.

Thought we might go out and shopper this
evening, sort of celebration.

Oh, that sounds very nice, Tom.
Fortunately, main point of evening,

engagement ring, slightly up the spout.

A ring?

Yes, wanted to give it to you at...

Proper romantic setting. Music,
candlelight, wine.

You bought an engagement ring, Tom?

No, not exactly bought. Sort of
heirloom, really. Part of large

mostly lost.

Titanic, Lusitania.

Ring with freak survival from R101.

Oh, well, what sort of a ring is it?

Ruby.

Cluster of diamonds.

Oh, Tom. Yes, took it to the jewellers,
changed it your side, went in to pick it

up today.

Can I see it? No.

No, trying to explain.

Stolen.

Got there one hour earlier, would have
it now.

Oh.

Understandably depressed, Alison. Just
try to think of it as few small stones.

Fourteen, actually.

What? Fourteen diamonds.

Ruby the size of a Murray mint.

Oh, dear.

Sometimes wonder how long we can carry
on, you know. Been together now...

Three months.

Oh, three months isn't very long, Tom.

Quite understand if you want to change
your mind. Call it a day.

Oh, Tom.

Tom? Yes?

When I was a little girl, Daddy used to
take us out on Easter Monday for a treat

to the fun fair.

What, right on the dodgems? No, no, we
didn't actually go in. We used to stand

at the fence and listen to the music and
the shouting, and we could just... See

the top of the ferris wheel going round?

If I'm honest with myself, Tom, I seem
to have spent most of my time watching

other people on the great ferris wheel
of life.

And being with you, it's like being on
the waltzer.

You know, it might make you feel a bit
sick sometimes.

But most of the time you're being
whizzed around, and I think that's so

important, Tom, being whizzed around.

to go of a bit about Ferris wheel again.

You're a genius. A bloody genius.

I heard it on the news at lunchtime. A
quarter of a million pounds worth of

precious stones. And they haven't got a
clue who took it, Neville. Not a clue.

And you're the man who... You blew it,
didn't you?

I can tell.

It wasn't my fault, Maureen.

And the hypermarket job.

Did the snatch go all right? Oh, the
snatch was brilliant.

Well, not just like you said it would.
You'd have been proud of us. Oh, so

we're... Mitch, we're rich.

Not in so many words, Maureen.

What happened about you?

Well, I don't know, except Nasha came
out, this red motor draws up, tosses a

blag in the booth.

It's the wrong car.

The wrong sodding car?

I don't believe it.

We don't do lunches after 3 .15.

No, I'm meeting a friend for tea. We've
got no scones.

Well, I'd just have tea for two, then,
please.

Well, see what I can do. This section's
closed. There's a spare table over

there.

off a trip.

Then I'm waiting by the train quarter.
The boys get the ramps down. Along comes

this red motor into the van and away.

It's the wrong colour.

Nosh and Harry come round.

There's nowhere to go.

I've had a lovely time shopping, Tom.
How do you get on?

Extraordinarily successful.

Really? Let's have a look.

There's not much in here for an hour and
a half's work, Tom. Most of it in here.

flash it around.

Kid's father never turned up with the
money.

You did wait.

I walked up and down outside that bloody
telephone kiosk every five minutes for

the past two hours.

And these are the shoes without the arch
supports.

Never got a wink of sleep last night,
you know. I could kill those little

Not the children, Neville. You promised
you wouldn't harm the children.

Chance would be a fine thing.

Not a wink of sleep. The noise.

No, the younger one stuffed my mattress
down the toilet.

The only piece I got was the couple of
hours they spent on the phone talking to

the speaking clock in Hong Kong.

I gave up in the end. Got them to play
cold hits.

Thank God they'd all escaped by this
morning.

So the jewellery, the wages now... It's
been a robbery, hasn't it?

Someone ran off with the kettle, stolen
the tea bags, let her here, ordered tea

half an hour ago, hopefully expecting
some decisive action now.

Right, I'll go and... The plate's gone.

I don't think we've got any. Pick. See
what I can do.

Collecting for children's home.

Cricket club charity.

Oh, well, look, mate, I mean, this is
all I've got for you. Oh, very generous.

You know, it's really very strange, Tom.
You were just standing on the pavement

in Foxley Road. By telephone kiosk, yes.
Well, then the man just came up to you.

Yes, yes. Didn't he say anything?

Yes, yes. Asked me if I was collecting
money for the children.

Said I was.

Gave me a bag.

Well, obviously thanked him.

Said children meant everything to him.
Ready to sacrifice anything for them.

Every penny he asked.

It's gone.

Didn't he give his name or anything?

No, he just asked where he could find
them. Who?

Children, presumably. Told him where
orphanage was. Off he went.

Crying a lot.

Very emotional moment for him.

Well, better make a move.

I've got the tickets.

Doesn't seem a lot of point now, does
the Neville?

The only thing is, it's got to be
tonight, because I couldn't afford to

Forge Club class, so I've got to do my
apex.

You can't change then.

Neville, flying to Brazil with a quarter
of a million in gemstones and 120 ,000

in reddies is a dream any girl would
cherish.

But I must admit to a certain lack of
enthusiasm when all you have is two

plane tickets and my family allowance
book.

Maureen, you said you love me.

I think I must have been lying, Neville.

Are you doing anything tonight?

What?

I wondered if you were free at all
tonight.

I'm supposed to be having my ear
syringe. Why?

Thought you might like to come to
Brazil.

What?

A spare ticket for Brazil.

Oh, it's very kind of you, Neville, but
I really ought to do something about my

ears. I've got a very heavy build -up of
wax.

What are you going to do with it all?

Phone Henderson, club secretary, going
to come round and collect it personally.

Only one thing frightened of. What's
that?

My luck, terrified of losing bag.

For all we know, could be sitting in
thieves' kitchen this very moment.

The case!

What? I bought a new security case for
Daddy after you broke his this morning.

didn't get it.

Never really understood why Father
needed security case.

I thought he worked as banana importer.

No, well, it's for his hobby. Tom, the
crochet.

He needs a high -security model. Some
old ladies do anything to get their

on a new doily pattern.

Now then, you just put your hand in
there.

Yes. And it's got this special safety
device. And you do that. Yes. Like that.

And then you open it up again with this
little key.

Ah, yes.

47 ,000 looks like.

Oh, what would you do with 47 ,000
pounds, Tom?

Probably buy something more effective on
tempered steel than junior hacksaw.

Bare blade there by any chance? No, I
did look.

Oh, I'm sorry, Tom. You're always
telling me about you in suitcases. Trust

pick up the wrong one. Don't you worry.

a new dress for tonight's little
celebration.

Celebration? Oh,

you're still upset about the ring,
aren't you?

Doesn't matter. We don't have to go out.
I could give you something nice on the

kitchen table.

Uncle Wilbur.

Stayed with him once when I was eight
years old. Dear old boy, a bit shell

-shocked, though.

Had a great stamp album.

Only thing in the world that mattered to
him. Fabulous collection.

Ah, now, that starting pistol, cause of
all the trouble.

Just swapped it for 4B Meccano set.

I wanted to show it to Great Uncle
Wilbur.

Unfortunately... Tendency to go on.
Accidentally.

Took four of us ten minutes to lure him
out from underneath table.

Meanwhile, stamp album had fallen into
fire.

Destroyed. Completely.

That's a shame. What did he say?

Oh, nothing at all. Completely
forgotten.

Next day, he said, if I like loud bang,
wanted to give me present.

Gave me that box.

Three grenades, a PAC rocket and a gas
mask.

Told me to go to the bottom of the
garden and play with them.

Never seen him so happy.

There's only two grenades here. Yes,
yes, yes. Third grenade went off. Killed

goldfish. Sad.

Old boy obviously a bit senile. Hadn't
realised grenades not defused. Came to

take him away that afternoon.

See him now.

Strapped to the stretcher.

Went over to say goodbye, barely
recognised me, face contorted, frothing

mouth.

Then suddenly reached forward hands to
say goodbye.

Never forgotten it.

Such a lot of hip drink, such a little
box.

There's a bit of wire in there, may I
try to see?

A bit.

No, not so.

Here we are.

Very good, thank you.

You're worried about dress?

Yeah, yeah. It seemed all right in the
shop.

But now I think it might be a bit, um, a
little bit, um... Small?

No, it's the stockings, Tom.

Not to get too high on the point, but
I'm not sure I've got the bust for it.

Could show it to me.

I'd like to have a look at it.

Open this case, but then find identity
of owner.

No, it's not that sort of lock, Tom.
It's a combination.

Ah. If you have to twiddle it to the
right number and then press the button.

if you don't know what the right number
is, you haven't got a chance, then...

Ah.

Trust you.

I'll go and slip this on.

Splendid.

We interrupt this programme to bring you
a newsflash about a robbery with a

difference on the Winscombe estate,
where thieves dressed as nuns...

Used the map of the hypermarket
ventilation system to gain access to the

manager's office.

Bystanders were kept at bay with
canisters of CS gas while the thieves

explosives. Forced the manager to hand
over the contents of the safe for about

47 ,000 pounds.

The good sisters then made their escape
unnoticed. Rio de Janeiro.

What one might call a non -usual
robbery.

A habit of it.

Now, some suitable music.

What do you think, then?

It just looks like a cheap homemade job
to me.

Ah.

Um, do you, um, think it makes me look
like a kept woman, Tom?

Certainly not, Alison.

Oh, well, never mind.

Perhaps if I tried it with the
stockings.

Could you, um, pass them to me, please,
Tom?

Mr. Chance? Yes?

We're police officers.

Oh, police. Come in, please. Thank you
very much.

Mr. Chance, I believe you were in the
vicinity of the High Street this morning

when a robbery was taking place. Yes. I
wondered if you could help us out at

all. For instance, you saw any men
running away with grave stockings over

heads? Maybe we'd better go through and

sit down.

Oh, no, sorry. Lady in there, not in
respectable condition.

I think I'll be the best judge of that,
if you don't mind, sir.

Have you got the money in here?

We were expecting someone else.

I mean, you know you're not guilty, and
we know you're

not guilty.

It's just the boys from the special task
force. They're on our backs all the

time. And in the face of all that
evidence, if only you hadn't had those

tickets to Brazil.

Realise it's not your fault, Walter.

I mean, we know you didn't do it, Tom.

How kind of you to say so.

There was obviously a very intelligent
mind behind this operation.

Oh, don't worry, then. We'll sort it
out. It's only a matter of time. Sure it

is. Every confidence in you, Walter.
Only one thing. Had planned a rather

special celebration this evening.

Celebration? Yes, we were dining out
this evening to celebrate our

Engagement? Well, that's it then. We may
not have much choice in keeping you

here for a while, but the least we can
do is to make your stay as comfortable

possible.

I would ask you not to touch the
candlesticks, if you please, sir. Only

fingerprint boys may want to go over
them again.

Sorry.

I do hope the beurre poncroute is to
your liking. It smells wonderful,

Thank you, Kenneth.

Kenneth, isn't it?

That's right, Mr. Chant. I was the one
who arrested you in the park lavatory

last week.

I've got a real roasting for that one.

Sorry to hear that, yes.

Understandable mistake.

Oh, cunt, well, I think we can do better
than those.

Here, you'll find some water for Crystal
in my office from the perbrite job.

There we are.

A bottle of 74, which I'm led to believe
is a very respectable claret.

Courtesy of the late Dr.

Atkinson.

But not thee, Dr.

Atkinson. It was poisoned by his
mistress.

It's nasty business, that. Oh, don't
worry.

The lab boys have been through this as
clear as a bell.

Yes, the cyanide was in the 73.

Thank you, Carter. Don't forget the
brandy.

Marvellous spread, Walter. Oysters we
had.

Particular favourite of Alison.

Oh, yes.

By the way, I've got some good news for
you.

They brought in those two people who did
the jewel robbery.

And amongst the items recovered was one
marked Mr. T. Chance for collection

Saturday. Yes.

I'm sure no -one will mind my returning
it directly.

Thank you, Walter.

Yes, the customs picked them up at
Southampton. Yes, the getaway car was

in a removal van.

Right.

Thank you.

Thank you.
