Thank you.

Hello, Debbie.

Yes, mate.

And where's that from?

And where's it going to, mate?

You're all right. I'll have someone round there in about ten minutes.

You're tough.

What's so funny?

Pick up at Claudia's Burnett Strait.

Claudia?

Who's she?

Can I help you?

Sexy undies.

Kinky candles?

No, Texas Rangers.

Delivery service.

Oh, right. It's out the back. I'll go and get it for you.

Amen.

Do you actually sell all this stuff? Oh, yeah. Trade's booming.

Especially in flage. Eh?

Flage. What's that?

You know, whips.

Handcuffs. Oh, yeah.

It's a black leather hood.

Be ever so handy on your motorbike. Keep the wind off your handsome features.

What handsome features?

Very nice hair, is it?

Not exactly what I expected.

Sorry it's not the Waldorf.

It's the Watlingby. You know, vacant property for homeless people.

We're lucky to have lightning and water.

Send Daphne.

I think she's in the bath.

He wasn't wearing any trousers.

You should have said you were coming.

He'd have worn his dinner jacket and dickie bow tie for you.

What are you doing here, Lindy?

I've left.

Left?

Left, oh.

Why?

Bored. Fed up.

No work, no money.

Nothing to do.

There's no big problem, is there?

It's not a boyfriend, is it?

You're not pregnant, are you?

No, of course not.

Do Mum and Dad know?

Yeah. You discussed it with them?

No. Left them a note.

You're going back, Lindy. First train.

No, please.

Don't make me go back.

I don't want to go back.

There's nothing for me there.

There's no freedom.

Don't let me do nothing.

Treat me like a kid. You are a kid. I'm 16.

Big deal.

You'll be on crutches next.

You left.

I was older.

I knew what I was doing.

I'm over the age of consent.

I can leave whenever I like.

What is happening here?

I'm sorry. I've been on to the agency.

Well, can't you get on the phone? I have. He's on his way. He's on his way.

Ah, come on in.

The

male

model's here.

Eh? About bleeding time. You should have been here an hour ago. You've held up

the filming. I hope you realise that. No, I'm sure it's been a mistake.

Oh, not tonight, Joseph. Just get your stripes off and let's get running, eh?

OK, girls, dressing gowns off. Crystal, you're smudging your make -up. Come on,

let's get you dressed with them.

Look, I know it's a stupid question. What kind of film are you making, eh?

Don't you know?

He doesn't know.

Who are you?

I'm Texas Rangers, a delivery service.

I know.

So I'm going to start... You stupid little tit.

Simple mistake.

Texas Rangers.

Sounds like a modelling agent.

It'll be marvellous, innit?

We've got the girls, we've got the deflatable doll, but we haven't got the

sodding male model.

What are we going to do? What are we going to do?

Don't ask me.

I'm only the clapper boy.

How would you like to earn yourself £50 a bit like that? I'm not that kind of

girl, mate.

What are we going to do with you, eh?

Put me up.

Find me a job.

It's not that easy.

No, but you can do it, Deb.

You can do anything.

You're my big sister.

Harry, can I have a word with you, please?

Not now, Debbie, not now.

I'm in a bit of a hurry.

I'm off to this health club.

A bit of exercise, soda, massage.

I've decided to work out.

Well, I looked at Ken Boone's beer gut and I thought, Harry, you've got to do

something, you know, to end up looking like him.

I'll tell you.

I'm going to get mistaken for Burt Bloody Reynolds by the time I've

Er, yeah, it's about my sister.

Sister? I didn't know you had a sister.

Yeah, little sister. She comes down from Liverpool.

Anyway, she needs a job. She's in the squat at the moment. She can get up

tomorrow, so I'll stay.

Yeah, but can't we talk about it later? Like I said, I'm in a bit of a hurry.

Yeah, you see, it's just... Hello, Mr Crawford.

Oh, hello.

Er, this is her.

All Indy. Very pleased to meet you.

Oh, likewise, I'm sure.

I'll do anything, Mr Crawford.

Make beds, save tea.

Yeah, well, I do need somebody in the bar, as it happens.

Do you fancy working in the bar?

Yeah, I'd love to.

Right, then. Start tonight.

See Glynis, my assistant.

Thanks, Mr Crawford. Thanks very much.

Honestly, Rocky, I couldn't believe my eyes.

When you're young girls, really young, 16, 17, they're just all sitting around

waiting to...

Waiting to do this... Dirty movie.

Yeah, and where do they get them from?

A street hospital, you know. Runaways, prostitutes.

Where do they bring themselves to do it?

You know, take their clothes off and then... Oh, yeah.

It's live, isn't it?

Not long.

Done that pick -up?

Yeah. Got another one for you here, mate.

Video's up, Portman Street. What's all bloody going?

I'm knackered.

I'm savvy.

I've just realized they never paid me.

Your first time, is it?

Yeah. Well, take it easy, pal. You do yourself a mischief.

Cool little idea.

Yeah, you might say that.

I own it.

Yeah, I've got this place.

Had a clap for the recon trick. You ever been there?

No. Ah, you should go, Harry. You'd like it.

Nice atmosphere, good surroundings.

Yeah, and a small production company as well.

You know, making bills and that.

Bills?

Yeah, well, nothing too grand. I mean, short documentaries and that, you know.

Speed pictures, the guy would have made features.

Still, to start, you never know where it might lead.

Yeah, yeah.

We're doing one for the British Tourist Board soon.

You know, showing the more picturesque parts of Birmingham.

Glenda Jackson's doing a voiceover.

Glenda Jackson?

Yeah, yeah. Well, I met her at a party and asked her if she'd like to do it.

It's quite amazing. She agrees.

It's very sweet of her, don't you think?

Yeah.

So, uh...

That's amazing.

Is it? Yeah.

We're looking for an hotel to use in a tourist storm if it happens.

Showing off to the pandas, you know, what beautiful hotels Birmingham has to

offer.

So what's your place like?

Well, it's... Well, how can I put it? It's magnificent.

Yeah?

Come for my money.

Eh? Where's that film crew?

Oi!

Oi!

Where are they?

Where's the bloody film crew in here yesterday?

I don't care what you're talking about.

It's nothing to do with me, pal.

I don't want any trouble, OK?

It's not my flat. I read the face of me, but I don't care who comes in here and

who goes out.

Like I say, I don't want any trouble, OK?

If I knew something, I'd tell you, but I don't say I can't.

What?

Oh, bloody hell.

Right then, Harry. See you tomorrow at your place.

Yeah, right you are, Barry.

Six o 'clock.

The free drinks are on me.

Keep up the good work, Marlene.

Ow!

Hello?

Remember me?

The Black Hood.

Yeah, that's right.

What can I do for you, love?

Listen, you know that package you gave me?

Who ordered it?

Some bloke. Came in here last night, bought an inflatable doll, paid for it

said someone would pick it up later.

Yeah, but who phoned up the artillery service?

I haven't a clue. Why?

Well, I never got paid.

Oh, that's a shame.

Yeah, I just don't like being ripped off, you know, taken for a ride.

Yeah.

A pregnant.

Oh, listen, I'm not really into... Be a trouble light.

Just a minute, sir.

Police, fire squad.

What have you got in the bag?

Well, I don't know, actually.

You don't know?

No, the woman in there, she's just given me this. It's sort of like a present.

She felt sorry for me. I didn't get paid for the job.

Mind if I have a look?

What have we got here?

We've been a busy boy, haven't we?

Yeah, we do like our pornography, don't we?

What's this?

Interstellar masochism, are we?

I don't know what that is. I didn't buy it. I wouldn't even know what to do with

it. We didn't even buy it.

I think you and I had better have a little chat, don't you?

Then she let me go with a warning, sent me off like a...

Naughty schoolboy, I've got the right wally.

Well, a black leather hood, mate. What do you expect?

Not bad looking, though.

In fact, rather attractive.

Men, you're all the same.

Come on, I'll get you... Oh, great.

Whatever job comes in.

Well, Speedy can handle that, can't he, Speedy?

Handle it, handle it.

Come, use my facility.

A drink for Mr Drinkwater, please, Lindy.

Barry.

Call me Barry.

What would you like, Barry?

I think I'd like a vodka and tonic, please, Lindy.

Make that a double, Lindy.

Yes, Mr Crawford.

A small piece of advice, Harry.

Always get your staff to call you by your first name.

Cut out the formality.

Make them think you like them.

Make them more loyal.

Nice motor.

Yeah, if you like that sort of thing.

She's very pretty, isn't she?

Who? Debbie's sister.

Yeah. Not about Derek.

She's a lousy bloody barmaid.

I'd like to shoot on the 17th, Harry. That's all right with you? Yeah, that's

fine with me.

We'll start about three o 'clock and go on into the evening.

It's what we call a night shoot.

Oh, a night shoot.

Now, look, um...

I can't afford to pay you very much. I mean, we're on a tight budget as it is,

and, well, Glenn just cost us a bleeding fortune.

Shall we say 250 quid?

250? Yeah, plus all the free publicity, of course.

Oh, yes.

I didn't expect to get paid. Oh, so you're happy, then? Happy? I'm

Oh, good.

I like to see people happy.

That girl.

What girl?

The dolly bird behind the bar, would you say her name was?

Well, Lindy.

Yeah, Lindy, that's right.

Sweet kid.

Is that it just out?

She's, uh... She's got an interesting face.

I might be able to use her in the film.

There's some small dialogue scenes, I mean, people admiring the scenery and

sort of thing.

She might be quite good.

Shall I call her over?

Yeah.

Call her over.

Yes, that's right.

The Glenda Jackson.

Yeah.

What do you will?

Oh, magic.

I'll see you on the 17th, then.

The Birmingham Gazette's going to do a big feature. Oh, I think the decorators

have just arrived, Mr Crawford.

Right you are.

Well, Glennis, I think you ought to wear your hair up for the filming.

And you, Martin, get your hair cut.

I thought I brought the car back because you said you wanted it for the night,

eh? Yeah.

Listen, can I have a quiet word?

It's better to be quick, Billy. I'm tired. I'm not in a very good mood, all

right? Yeah, well, look, there's been a lot of old Bill knocking about outside

the shop lately.

So, what do you want me to do about it? It's your shop. You're supposed to run

it for me.

It's your problem.

I don't touch that side of the business anymore.

Sort it out yourself.

What the bloody hell is it?

It's Lindy.

She's gone.

Didn't you find your mum and dad? See if she's there.

Yeah, she's not there.

What about the police?

I've given them a photograph.

They don't hold out much hope.

What am I going to do, Kent?

I'm worried sick. She could be anywhere.

She could be lost.

She could be raped, murdered or anything.

Well, I'm just out of school. I thought I'd be a real cool.

Gotta dance like a fool. Got the message that I gotta be a wild one.

Oh yeah, I'm a wild one.

Gonna break and lose.

Gonna keep on moving by. Gonna keep pushing and maybe I'm gonna be a wild

Sorry, I don't know. Nothing.

Any luck?

Nothing. I don't think we're ever gonna find a tent.

Oh, yes.

It's Lindy Yeats.

She's been missing now for 24 hours.

Oh, I see.

Thanks a lot.

You haven't seen her, have you?

No, I haven't seen her.

Sure? Sure, I haven't seen her.

Oh, I just have to search the streets, hope someone's noticed her.

Oh, by the way, I don't suppose you've seen little Lindy by any chance, have

you? Lindy?

Yeah, a young girl who worked in the bar in the hotel.

She's gone missing.

I just wondered if she'd try to get in touch or anything.

Why should she try to get in touch?

Oh, I don't know.

I mean, since you offered her a part in your film.

I didn't offer it to her, Harry.

I said we'd talk about it.

Oh, that seems very strange.

I mean, she seemed so happy after she'd spoken to you.

Why should she suddenly disappear?

Probably gone down London. I mean, that's where most young girls go, isn't

for something?

Um, yeah, actually, I was looking for a young girl.

Well, come into the doorway.

You've got to be careful. There's lots of folk around tonight.

Well, well, well.

If it isn't the Slater masochist.

I don't bloody believe it.

You're under arrest, mate.

So, you see, he's only doing me a good turn.

Helping me find my sister.

Hockenbach finished character officer.

I've known the accused for many years.

Under the you?

Harry Crawford.

Owner of the coaching inn.

About to be featured in a film for the British Tourist Board.

Picture that's parts of Birmingham.

Er, Glenda Jackson is doing the voiceover.

Really? Oh, I am impressed.

In that case, your friend must be innocent.

What do you reckon, Margaret?

Drop charges?

Yes, I think so.

Thank you very much, officer.

You've been very decent about this, I must say.

I won't forget this.

Like I said, Ken Boone is a very old friend of mine.

He'd no more pick up a hooker than I would.

Tell Kenneth I'll be waiting in the car.

You're very good, sir.

Anything else?

Public apology?

Plate of chips?

I'm sorry, Mr Boone. I thought you were a punter.

Bloody uncomfortable yourself.

Is there anything I can do to make amends?

How about dinner?

So what exactly are you?

I beg your pardon?

Well, you know, constable, sergeant.

D .C. D .C. Daly. D .C. Daly.

I like that.

I prefer Margaret.

So, you happy in your work, Margaret?

Well, it's a vocation.

Although I must admit, I think for fighting a losing battle, young kids on

meat rack into drugs who get one back to their parents only to be replaced by

another.

Occasionally we bust a big drugs ring or porn firm, but it's nothing really. Tip

of the iceberg.

No, what we mostly get are youthers feeding their habit or dirty old men

soliciting prostitute.

Like me, you mean?

Yes, just like you.

No, seriously.

What's going to happen to Debbie's sister?

What's the chances of finding her?

Like finding a needle in a haystack.

I suppose it is.

Are you going to keep on looking?

I don't know. I'll give it a couple of days, but I've got to earn a living.

So you can take DC that to expensive Indian restaurant?

Only if they're female.

Make yourself at home.

I'll go and put the coffee on.

Are you a burglar?

No.

Pervert? I don't think so.

That's all right, then.

There was a rather beautiful young lady who came in here just now and asked me

if I was a pervert.

It would be Jo, my daughter.

Married?

No, she's only 14.

No, I mean you.

Was?

Separated. Divorced?

Oh, I think a divorce dithy daily.

Airline pilot.

Never marry an airline pilot.

I should try not to.

They get up to all sorts of things on long flights.

Fourteen, eh?

You're under arrest.

What for? Leaving a minor with our adult supervision.

We've got an au pair.

I might have bloody known it.

Listen, mate, have you seen this girl?

No, sorry, mate.

All right, thanks.

Come on, Peter.

Here you are.

Kill.

Ken!

I've seen her! I've seen her!

Eh? I've seen her coming out of her shop.

Well, what happened?

Well, she was with this fella, and he was holding on to her. Well, she saw me,

but he pulled her away.

Next thing, he threw her in the car, and they drove off.

I'm sure she's been held against her will, Ken, aren't I? What car was it?

Blimey, not you again.

You've fallen in love with me or something?

Where is she?

Where's who?

The girl, the girl I showed you in that picture. I don't know.

There's a lotus parked outside.

So what?

She's here. No.

Is there a room upstairs? Look, love, I like you. You've got a nice place. If

you want to keep it, stay away from this place.

Hello, Daddy.

Pleasure bear coming.

Why didn't you tell us where you were?

What for?

She could come and let me.

Do the big sister thing.

Stop me from having a good time. A good time?

Who's flat is this, isn't it?

Drink water.

It's something to do with drink water, isn't it?

Hey, the guy who's making the film with Harry, I recognised his car.

He offered me a part in his film.

Film? What film?

I knew you'd object.

That's why I didn't say nothing.

That's why I left.

I told Barry I knew where to stay.

He said I could have this place.

Look, who is he?

Been going out.

Taking me to restaurants and that.

Ever so posh.

And he bought me this dress.

He hasn't.

I mean...

You haven't been a perfect gentleman.

Oh, yeah, so far.

Get your stuff together. We're going home now.

Home? You mean that grotty little hole you live in? I don't know who he is, but

he smells of trouble.

He loves me, and I love him. If he lays one finger on you, I'll kill him!

Listen, love, blokes like that, they'll just take what they want and they'll

drop you.

Oh, get lost!

Barry Drinkwater?

Yeah, do you know him?

Oh, I know him all right. He's a poor merchant.

Videos, strip clubs, massage parlours, he's got his bloody little hands in

everywhere. Well, why don't you arrest him?

I can't.

He's all we've covered.

Lawyers, loose pearls and the law.

Always protected.

That's a clever bastard.

So you can arrest me, but you can't arrest him?

That's it.

You can't just leave her there, you know. She'll get into trouble.

Well, there's nothing else we can do.

He's not holding her against her will.

She's over 16. There's no law against putting a roof over her head.

Yeah, but I mean she's so young.

He could be sleeping with her, giving her drugs, anything.

Well, at least we know where she is. At least we know she's safe.

Safe? With him?

It's better than being on the street.

Margaret, sometimes you really are difficult to fathom. Do you know that?

Realistic.

Totally down to earth, I'm afraid.

Um, how about a divorce DC taking you out to dinner?

Ed? Oh, sorry, Ken.

Didn't realise you were going out.

Yeah, I'm going out with Margaret.

Oh.

Seen quite a lot of her, eh?

Yes, I'm seeing quite a lot of her, Harry.

What is it you want?

Just fancy to chat.

You know, one of our sessions like we used to, you know.

Oh, I'm sorry, mate. We've gone out to a restaurant.

Oh, it doesn't matter.

Harry, what's the matter?

What do you want to say?

I know it sounds daft, but I'm getting a bit anxious about this filming.

A bit worried -like.

It's a big thing for the hotel, and I just want it to go well, that's all.

Listen, Harry... No, I know I'm being silly.

I know I'm being a prune, worrying over nothing, but, well, I can't help it.

And that's the way I am.

Why don't you pull out?

Pull out?

Well, if it's making you that anxious.

Well, I can't pull out.

I've spent a small bloody fortune having the place done up and that. Pull out?

It's going to be in the papers, everything.

What if it's not quite what it seems?

Not quite what it seems? What are you talking about, Ken?

Haven't you thought it might just be a little bit bent?

Bent?

Who says?

Oh, Margaret.

Oh, Margaret, I might as bloody know, and everything's Margaret these days.

Yes.

Have a good evening, Ken.

Margaret. Hmm?

I've got something to tell you.

Oh, God, haven't you two finished smoking yet?

I think I'm going to break the law.

What are you going to do?

Touch my knee?

What do you get for kidnapping?

I'm not too sure about this, Ken. I'm a bit nervous about it. I've never done

this sort of thing before.

Just relax, Rocky.

It's going to be a doddle.

Think of Van, whatever his name is.

Hyland.

What do you want?

Mum and Dad are here.

Do you want to see them? I don't want to see them.

They're waiting in the car downstairs.

They just want to talk to you.

They've come a long way.

Just five minutes.

Here they come.

Where do you think you're going? Come on, Dad's car.

Get in.

Come on, love. Debbie, move your toes.

It'll be all right. Move it, Rocky, move it. It won't go. It's not going.

It won't help with your embrace.

Hey!

Oh, little girl.

Problems stick with her anyway.

Look out, Debbie. It's for your own good.

You won't keep me away from her. I'll just run away again. Oh, shut up.

Slow down, Rocky. There's no one behind us. Eh?

I said there's no one behind us.

Well, this is a car chase, isn't it? Yeah, but there's no -one chasing us.

Where are we? Come on.

Hey,

I didn't know you could drive like that.

Neither did I.

I haven't.

You have.

Shut up. Get in the car. Get your hands off me.

She's all yours, Margaret.

Police assisting kidnappers now, do they?

You're not being kidnapped, Lindy. I'll drive you back there any time you like.

Right. Take me back now.

Have a look inside this envelope.

Go on.

Still from his last film.

Some of those girls are younger than you.

Thirteen, fourteen.

You don't want to end up doing that, do you, Lindy?

You don't want to end up like them.

You're forgetting something.

I love him, and he loves me.

Did he tell you that?

Yeah, he told me.

What else did he tell you?

Did he tell you he was married?

And those are his kids.

He likes playing with his kids.

And that's his wife.

Attractive, isn't she?

A bit older than you.

But they save her eyes in spite of life, don't they?

Hello, Lindy.

What are you doing here?

I thought I told you to stay in the flat.

Are you married?

To what?

Are you married?

Yeah. Of course I'm married.

I'm 36, what do you expect?

Why didn't you tell me?

Why should I?

It's nothing to do with you and me.

What sort of film is it?

Eh? What sort of film are you going to put me in?

What sort of film do you think?

Will I have to take my clothes off?

Who's been talking to you?

Will I?

Yeah.

You didn't tell me that either.

What did you think, darling?

You're going to be the next A .B. Mills?

Of course you've got to take your clothes off. That's where the money is.

No, thanks.

Where are you going?

Oi!

Where are you going?

I want to get arrested for harassment.

So what will you do, Lindy?

I don't know.

Will you go back to your mum and dad?

I don't know.

The way I see it...

There's plenty of time to grow up.

Years of responsibility.

Making your own decisions.

You've got the rest of your life ahead of you.

If you rush it, there's going to be nothing left.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Sorry,

sorry.

We'll keep you a minute.

We'll keep you a minute. Afternoon. All right, mate.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Linus, what have you done with your hair?

You told me to wear it out, Mr Crawford.

Did I?

Excuse me, are you the director?

No, John, I'm the Sparks.

Sparks? Good afternoon.

I'm the director. What can I do for you? Oh, yeah, will you be filming in the

kitchen? Eh?

The kitchen.

Only the chef's built a great big bowl of boiling porridge this morning and

scorched all the way now.

No.

No, we won't be filming in...

Here you are, Glenny.

That man could make this place look like a palace.

Glenny, I think you ought to take your hair down again.

It makes you look, er, haggard.

Scene 48, take one.

If we creep along the outside here, Glenny, we can get a peeper to fill me

without disturbing anybody. Oh, dear darling, don't forget to smile.

OK, and action!

You know, I've got a feeling that all this publicity is going to attract a

more upmarket clientele.

I want

you

to go in.

Rip her dress off.

And leave her standing there in all her glory.

No, no. No, I'm sorry. I'm stopping the filming. Do what?

I'm stopping the filming.

You can't do that.

Oh, yes, I can. Are you unit, mate?

Unit?

I don't think so. Only members of the unit can stop the filming.

Right.

Right.

Then if there's only one thing for it, the police.

Mr Crawford? Hello. Police?

Yeah?

Birmingham Gazette.

Where's the filming?

It got cancelled.

Lack of funds.

How come there's a location van outside?

What? Where's Glenda?

Glenda who?

Glenda Jackson.

Glenda Jackson?

Oh, you've got it all wrong. She was never actually supposed to be here.

only doing the voiceover.

Please.

Yes, this is Harry Crawford at the coaching inn. I want to report a fracas.

Yes, a fracas.

Good afternoon, Mr Crawford.

That was quick.

We thought we'd come and meet Glenda Jackson.

In there, is she?

All right, everyone, stay where you are. Keep trying.

Mass orgy at local hotel.

Good one of you, Harry. Why didn't you tell me it was a blue film?

It wasn't.

Not really.

All sort of bluish.

You've made me a laughingstock.

You've made yourself a laughingstock.

I was arrested.

And who ran?

If it hadn't been for your big mouth, none of this would have happened. And

have had five and a half minutes in the can by now.

You lied to me.

I didn't lie to you, Harry. How did I lie to you?

You told me it was a film for the British tourist boy. It is.

It's got some beautiful scenery in it.

And what about my money?

What money?

The money you owe me.

My 250 quid. The film in wasn't completed, Harry.

You can't expect to get paid if the film in wasn't completed.

I want to see my solicitor about this.

Now, look here, you herb. What?

I lost the whole day's film in because of you.

It cost me a bleeding fortune bailing everybody out, and I had my film stock

confiscated, so don't come round here shouting your crack off demanding money.

Otherwise, things are going to get very nasty.

You get my drift?

And another thing.

You tell your mate, the one who kidnapped Lindy, if I ever see his ugly

again, he's going to end up as dog meat.

Here you go, Harry. Now drink that for God's sake. Calm you down.

I've never been so bloody angry in all my life.

Oh, yes, and it comes to something when your best mate grasses on you.

Hey, come on, I only told Margaret.

And why wasn't Drinkwater arrested? That's what I want to know.

Middlemen. Lawyers.

Loopholes in the law.

Well, it's a bloody outrage.

Get us another one, Ken. Aye, hurray.

There must be something you can get him on.

What about that club of his, the three -card trick or whatever it's called?

Glorified pick -up joint, but legit as far as I know.

Of course, you have to be 18 to get in.

We'll have a good mind to go round there and smash the bloody place up. Don't do

that. You'll get arrested.

Yes, well, I'm going to do something.

I'm going to get that bugger if it's the last thing I do.

18.

Luke Powell's in the law.

Eh?

Don't put your daughter on the stage, Mrs Worthington.

You sure you want to go through with this?

You don't have to, you know.

I want to.

God, I'm going to get my knuckles wrapped and the super finds out.

Now, I'll be right there. Right there all the time.

Relax, Mum.

I'll take that sucker apart.

Surprise, surprise.

Hello, Barry.

I didn't expect to see you here.

Why not?

You didn't like me very much yesterday.

Oh, yes, yes, I'm sorry about that.

I was a bit hot -tempered, I will admit.

But when I got home and thought about it, I realised how stupid I was being.

I mean, it was business after all, wasn't it?

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, just business.

So who's this, then?

Oh, this is Joe, my charming young escort for the evening.

Joe, this is Mr Drinkwater, the owner.

Barry.

Call me Barry.

Hello, Barry.

Why don't you join us?

Yeah.

Why don't I?

I think we've made contact.

I must be bloody mad.

So, what do you think of the place, then?

It's great.

It's far out.

Groovy. I especially like the girls.

Of course, I lost a bleeding fortune in your casino.

Oh, you will.

Why?

It's Ben.

I'll tell you what you do.

Even numbers on the red every three turns, 30 going down to 12.

Got that?

Can't be that.

So, what's a nice girl like you doing with an old fart like him?

He takes me out occasionally, buys me things, pampers me.

I like being pampered.

Oh, yeah.

I quite like pampering people myself.

I thought you might.

Why, I... If he touches her, if he so much as lays a finger on her...

Margaret... She's touching him.

What?

There's your bet.

Leave the numbers on the red. Every three turns.

No more bets.

No more bets.

Do you, uh, like it?

It's all right.

I prefer a disco.

Play your cards right, darling. I might buy you one.

I prefer a drink.

Oh, sorry, darling. I was miles away there. Sharon.

Yes? A bottle of bubbly, love. And the real stuff, not the fake.

Sure, Barry.

Excuse me, Margaret.

Wait.

Don't I know you from somewhere?

Me? No.

You're the punk that kidnapped Lindy, aren't you?

Yeah, we met before, Celia. Remember me, Gertrude, the porn film?

What porn film?

14 Lenswell Street. I was the mug who bought that inflatable doll and I never

got paid for the job. 25 quid, Blanche.

I think it's about time.

I taught you a lesson.

Tina.

Not exactly Marvin Hagler, are we?

Red 12.

Oh.

Good, yeah.

I know you're making a film. That's why I got Harry to bring me here.

I'd like to audition for you.

Backwards are coming forwards, aren't you?

I know what I want.

And I know how to get it.

Cheers. Cheers.

Will you take your clothes off?

Yes. I'll take my clothes off.

OK, lover boy, you're under arrest.

What for?

Impetuning a minor, serving her with alcohol, running crooked tables,

minor into a gambling club. What are you talking about? She's at least 19.

She's not 19.

Well, she looks it. She's 14. 14? She can't be. Oh, she is.

I can vouch for her.

I'm her mother.

Bye. Bye, love.

Bye, Dad. See you, Lindy.

Bye, Dad.

Look after yourself.

Give my love to Mum and Dad.

And ring us as soon as you get back.

And, hey, stop batting them eyelashes.

Coaching in.

Yes, sir, your booking has been confirmed for the 22nd to the 24th.

That's that bloody thing with the glennis.

Is this the famous den of iniquity I've been reading about in all the papers?

Oh, very funny. Very bloody funny, Ken.

Oh, I've been rushed up my feet all day, mate. That bloody phone hasn't stopped

ringing. I've never been so busy.

Well, that's good, isn't it? Good?

I think we'll think it's a knocking shop.

You'll keep asking me if I specialise in dirty weekends.

Oh, I feel so ashamed of myself.

Stupid. Oh, come on, don't worry, Harry. I'll still drink, yeah?

Yeah. Ah, DC Daily. Allow me to buy you a large Bloody Mary.

It's not that I'm on duty.

Seen Lindy off, have you?

Yeah, she was a bit heartbroken, I'm afraid.

Yes.

She'd have been better off staying here, working in the bar for me.

Working in the bar? Yes, I go for a job as barmaid. Harry.

What? She was 16.

Eh? You're under arrest.

All right, all right.

The drinks are on me.

The Texas Rangers, there they ride again.

They ride in thunder.

They ride in rain.

It makes one wonder if they feel no pain.

They never falter. They never fail.

They hang their halter on a rusty nail.

Texas Rangers, Texas toughest men.

The Texas Rangers, there they ride again.
