[SMASHED GLASS AND
SCREECHING TYRES]

[WAILING SIREN]

He's really throwing his car round...

...these corners, now.

He's going absolutely mad, now!

We're right up behind him.

Frank?

Round the corner.

As soon as we've cleared
the tunnel - jump!

Right.

Freddy. You, as well - as soon as
l give you the word.

Jump as we round the
corner. NOW!

[SIRENS AND SCREECHING TYRES]

Now - hard right!

We didn't make the corner.

We're after him again!

Good boy.

Move it, move it!

[TEACHER SHOUTING]

[SHOUTING AND SCREAMlNG]
Stay where you are!!!

We're gonna hit them!
We're gonna hit them!

NO!!!

[SCREECHING CAR TYRES
AND SCREAMING]

Charlie Delta Two, what is
your position?

Charlie Delta Two,
do you read me?

[SHOUTING AND CHILDREN CRYING]

- Is there anybody hurt?
- We're all right.

Did you see the driver?

Sshhh.

Contact lost with suspect.

Unable to continue pursuit.

We've crashed outside
the Quentin Pope...

...Junior School.

Would you recognise that driver?

What?

[CRYlNG CHlLDREN]
Would you recognise the driver?

Yes, of course I'd recognise
the bastard!

[BACKGROUND TRAIN STATION NOlSE]

- Bye, Kate. l'll see you this evening.
- What time?

- Oh, I shouldn't be late.
- All right.

lf anything crops up I'll phone you.

All right.

Bye bye.

- I'll be right with you.
- You'll never be right with me, Jack!

Hello, George.

What can I do for you?

l'd like a little chat about a car.

Oh?

Talk about cars all day,
if you like?

A silver Jag?

- Thinking of buying it?
- No.

No, I, er...

...I was just wondering who
was driving it.

Ah. Someone pulled a job, eh?

No.

No, not me, Inspector.

l jacked that lot in - it's a...

...it's a mug's game, isn't it?

Well, I mean, there's no point...

...now I've got the job...

- ...and the business.
- How is business?

Can't complain.

ls, er...

...is he with you..?

Never saw him in my life before.

Got a warrant, lnspector?

What? For a social call?

This bloke's a better actor
than Mickey Mouse.

Well, er...

...I'll be seein' yer, Jack.

Six-Oh-Three-Eight-Seven-Four-Two.

Scotland Yard here.

Sergeant!

- Your call on number three.
- Oh, thanks.

Right, she's already made three
insurance claims.

Get onto Bedford, see ifthey've
got anything on her.

Right you are, guv'nor.

George. Go carefully, eh?

Remember who her father is.

- Well?
- Nothing.

- Still think Jack's the driver?
- That's my best guess.

This is the Squad, Inspector Langdon.

We deal in evidence and
arrests, not guesses.

l think you're right about him.

He's our man - but we've got to...

...get evidence and we've got
to make it stick.

You've got to make it stick!

Yes, sir.

[NOISE OF PLANES]

That was a close one
yesterday, love.

Mmm.

Did you see the papers?

- Eighty-five thousand quid?
- Nah.

Not a penny over seventy-five...

...and that's trade valuation.
Not what we got.

Yeah... they're all at it.

- Where's Paul?
- He'll be here.

l've had the law round.

That was quick! Who was it?

Langdon.

[AIRPORT NOISES IN BACKGROUND]

Hi.

Evening.

Jack's had callers. The Squad.

Yeah. Langdon... a try-on.

Does he know anything?

- What? Him?
- Does he know anything?

Of course not!

Well, let's keep it that way.

Here's how it is, then.

We've got the capital now
for the investment.

We all agree to go ahead?

- Yep.
- Yeah.

Well, why don't we share out in
the usual way? I mean...

...we're doing all right.

l want us to do better, Frank.

l dunno.

lf there's one thing l know...

...money breeds money.

Huh, mine must be on the pill.

All right, Frank - I'll pay you off.

l'll find another firm that's interested...

...in three or four million pounds.

Four million! Bloody hell!

[SOUND OF PLANE TAKING OFF]

Frank?

l'm interested.

Jack?

Yeah, yeah. Count me in.

The job, Paul?

lt's a night mail train.

From Glasgow to London.

The Tuesday after the holiday.

What?

- Not till after the holiday?
- Exactly.

The banks will have been closed...

...from midday Saturday...

...till Tuesday morning.

There'll be that much more
money on the train.

What happens to the money afterwards?

A friend of ours flies it out of the
country within the hour.

Ahh!

[CHUCKLlNG]
Where do we share out?

Switzerland?

Share's delivered wherever you like.

l know where l want mine delivered.

Okay?

There's just one more thing.

This is the big one - the biggest.

From now until we finish
the job, I want no...

...trouble with the law.

You understand, Jack?

Me?

l'll be as good as gold.

We've got nothing to worry
about then, have we?

[FUNKY SHOP MUSIC]

Bloke askin' for you, Mr Aitken.

- What sort of bloke?
- A bloke!

How much you getting for these?

- Shopping, Inspector?
- Not today.

You know who I am, Aitken?

l'm making enquiries into a...

...robbery at Northumberland
Avenue - ten days ago.

l have reason to believe you
can be of assistance.

l must ask you if you're willing...

...to be put up for an identity parade.

We're very formal all of a sudden.

ls this an invitation?

Would you rather it were printed?

Uh, I've got to go out...

...but I'll be back before
you go to lunch.

- No, I don't recognise anyone.
- That will be all, thank you.

- Good morning, miss.
- Morning.

Now, all I want you to do is just
to go along the line...

...and ifyou recognise the
man you thought...

...you saw in the car, just
touch him.

All right?

- Okay.
- All right.

That's all right, miss - if you'll go
with the policewoman.

Gentlemen.

We're very grateful for your time.

That will be all, thank you.

[MEN TALKlNG]
Yeah, waste of time, this.

- Don't rate his ugly mug.
- No, neither do I.

This way, please.

Now, I want you to go
along the line...

...and ifyou recognise the man...

[SCUFFLlNG AND SHOUTING]
Get him out of here.

- Take him off.
- I'm sorry, I---

- ...I'm sorry, I didn't mean...
- Right, that'll be all. Thank you, gentlemen.

[MEN MUTTERING]

l want a summons for assault.

- You're in trouble, Jack.
- Naahhh.

- Get---
- Jack!

Look...

...I'm just tryin' to help you.

Make a statement.

Tell us who else was in on it.

l've got nothing to make a
statement about.

Ahhh...

...do yourself a favour.

What do you mean? You
saw what she did.

Who?

That bloody schoolteacher!

How did you know she was
a schoolteacher?

[DOG BARKING AND BELLS RINGING
lN THE DISTANCE]

That stuff will kill you.

[PANTING]

l thought you said you were
already in condition?

[WHEEZING]
l thought l was!

How are things going?

Made a start on the drivers.

Like who?

So far, Mike...

...Pete...

...and those two we used
on the furjob.

Mike's good.

The other one talks too much.

You know that.

You want two drivers to
every car, right?

l want everybody doubled up...

...and no weak sisters.

So, l'll keep trying.

- How about the railway end?
- All fixed.

Four of our lads are now railwaymen.

Fully paid up.

[LAUGHlNG]

- What about electricians?
- Not easy.

Ben's got one or two good lads...

...but he's not going to settle...

...for wages - he'll want a cut.

Talk to him.

How about your friend the banker?

Robinson?

He's in prison.

We'll have to get him out.

We'll need his knowledge
of bank security...

...and for the bank notes.

Only an expert can tell
the safe ones.

So we'll have to get him out.

- Just like that?
- Yeah.

You could have a problem there.

Ha, he's worth it. We'll split
here - see you, Dave.

Zero.

Seventy-three pieces, sir.
Thank you.

Fifty-two pieces for your spend.
You're straight up, sir. Thank you.

Three hundred thousand.

And a cut of the profits.

Straight.

How much you expect?

Somewhere in the low millions.

- I'll take a cut.
- Uh-uh.

Dave, darling...

...I've missed you, where
have you been?

Go away, baby - I'm busy.
Ask me later.

[NOISY KISS]

Percentage or forget it.

How much?

Twenty-five percent.

We'll work for you, Ben.

Take it or leave it.

l'll put it to the board.

Fine.

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty...

...seventy, eighty, ninety -
a hundred pounds.

Place your bets, please.

All bets on?

Twenty-two.

You win, Mr Aitken.

Place your bets, please.

[KEYS RATTLlNG AND BACKGROUND
PRISON NOISES]

[NEWS PLAYING ON THE TELEVlSION]

[NEWSREADER] "On the day of the funeral
a general strike was declared and---"

Welcome to J Wing, Robinson.

What a pity you won't be
staying long.

W-what do you mean?
What are you talking about?

You're going over the wall, Robinson.

Tomorrow: four-ten exercise, west wall.

l don't want any trouble.

Neither does your wife,
l should imagine.

Or the boy.

How old will he be now?

Why me?

l don't know, Robinson...

...and I don't care.

All I know is you go over
the wall tomorrow...

...even if I have to throw
you over myself.

[SOUND OF A TRAlN IN
THE DISTANCE]

Right.

Let's run through it.

Uh, four hundred yards on the left...

...bottom of the incline, there's
a road to the junction.

Half a mile beyond that...

...there's a sharp right-hander.

Then a crossing.

After the crossing...

...there's no turn-off till you get
to the main road.

Keep it at forty.

How many turnings off
the main road?

Er, nine.

How many of those can we use
as alternative routes?

Fi... six, l think.

Five.

Five or six, what does it matter?

lt matters.

Let's get back to the bridge
a different way.

You've got... six minutes.

What kind of recruiting?

Specialists?

All kinds, apparently.

Drivers.

- Electricians.
- Electricians?

Any names?

You know I never can
remember names.

Who's "the money"?

The talk is it's from that
diamond job.

Any more on that?

Had to be the mob we
were talking about.

None of them's spending.

And that's interesting,
isn't it, Mr Langdon?

Very interesting.

Keep listening.

[CLANKING AND BANGING]

Three-sixteen. Two minutes late.

We can't have that, can we?

Hmm, no.

What's the average?

lt's never more than six minutes...

...over the past ten days.

[PRISONERS CHATTING lN
THE BACKGROUND]

That was my smoke you took.

Smoke? l never 'ad your smoke!

Why don't you shut your
mouth or I'll...

- ...put one on you!
- You'll do what?

Hey!

Hey! Break it up!

[POLICE WHISTLES AND SHOUTING]

Break it up there!
[SHOUTING AMONGST PRISONERS]

[DOGS BARKING]

[MORE POLICE WHISTLES
AND SHOUTlNG]

[TRAIN STATION NOlSES]

How much do you think there
is tonight, Bob?

lf you take three million
as an average...

...there could be four million tonight.

Judging by the number of sacks.

ls that high-value coach always
in second position?

Has been all week.

Have you found an engine
driver for me yet?

l've got one in mind.

Have we found out anything
about this, Jock?

Yes, sir.

Kidderminster Laboratories...

...confirmed it WAS one of...

...those stolen at the time of
the break-in last year.

The timing mechanism's
the kind of...

...thing you can buy
at most shops.

Any one of half a dozen specialists...

...could have rigged the
two together.

Which gets us nowhere.

Do you think the diamonds are
still in the country?

lfAitken's behind it? No.

- You've charged Jack?
- Yes.

- He's not speaking, of course?
- No!

l take it Number One District's...

...keeping an eye on the
Aitken mob?

Round the clock.

Frankly, I would have
thought this job...

...far too sophisticated for
Aitken on his own.

l couldn't agree more.

Who's behind it?

Somebody with some brains.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]
And not only that...

There's someone who's recruiting -
and only top specialists.

- Pretty strong rumours to that effect.
- [ON TELEPHONE] Yes?

lnformation received?

- Yes, sir.
- [ON TELEPHONE] It's positive?

Right, George - you keep on to this.
You'll get all the help...

- ...you need from Number One District.
- [ON TELEPHONE] Yes, he's here now. l'll tell him.

[ON TELEPHONE]
Well done, David.

lt's the Rosary Gardens strangling, sir.

Renshaw's at Harrow Road now and
he'll be charged tonight.

Water-tight?

Absolutely.

Well done, Mike.

Smart arrest by the young detective...

...in Paddington, l thought.

Good.

Well, come on lads...

...let's get this over with.
l've got a meeting with the...

...Commissioner in ten minutes.

Now, then...

...anything fresh on the
Robinson escape?

Well, he had outside help,
of course...

...but I think we'll have him back...

...inside in a matter of days.

Reasons?

Well, he's an amateur, sir.

"Good conduct" man.

First-time loser.

No underworld connections.

Who helped him over
the wall, then?

Well, he probably made friends inside.

What? They sprung him for love?

Let's hear your thinking, George.

Well, I think somebody wanted
Robinson out, sir.

l've got his file here.
Listen to this.

lt says: "...the accused was attached
to security department...

"...of his bank shortly after promotion
from chief cashier."

"He handled matters concerned with..."

"...safety and care of bank vaults..."

"...and safeguarding high-value currency."

The Case Officer added...

... that "...he made no use of this..."

"...knowledge but committed
straight-forward embezzlement."

So?

Well, that's why Robinson's out.

Somebody's planning a big job...

...and they need his know-how!

Maybe.

Well, I'll get on to records...

...sir, and get a rundown on
the jail friends...

...past and present. l think
it'll be useful.

Any idea whatjob they
could be planning?

Er, something special, and I, er...

...think I know when.

More "information received"?

No, sir. The calendar.

My guess is it's due over the
Bank Holiday when the...

...banks are closed for three days.

That will give them three
days and nights...

...to open up the bank vaults.

But l, er, know you dislike
guesswork, sir.

There's a time and place for it.

l think you might be right.

So, lads - you can tell your
delighted wives...

...that Squad leave is restricted
over the Bank Holiday.

That's all.

[CHlLDREN SHOUTING AND PLAYING]

l just want to speak to her!

Just for a moment.

She's not alone.

But of course she is!

That woman sitting over there
is a policewoman.

How do you know?

lt's a special brand of
perfume they wear.

Use your head, Robinson.

Your wife's followed wherever
she goes.

What do you expect?

To think that I---

Stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Well, now you know what
you're risking.

l wasn't feeling sorry for
myself, you know?

l've had time to think.

Night after night.

What did you think about?

About my family.

How I can make it up to them
for what I've done.

Well, a hundred thousand pounds
would help, wouldn't it?

lf I do what you want...

...what happens to them?

They'll be brought out to
Switzerland, to join you.

Passports provided.

We'd never be able to
come home again.

Home is a Swiss bank account.

l'd be hunted for the rest
of my life.

You will be anyway.

You're an escaped convict, remember?

Switzerland's your best bet.

You'll have one hundred thousand
pounds in the bank...

...and your boy will speak
three languages.

Huh.

lt was your idea started the
whole thing, remember?

Something we talked
about in prison.

Passed the time.

Probably.

l'm not sure.

Robinson, you're in!

You were in the moment you
came over that wall.

[PROGRAMME SELLERS SHOUTING]

[MUSIC COMlNG FROM THE STADIUM]

[CROWDS CHANTlNG]

[REFEREE'S WHISTLE]

That last rehearsal wasn't
good enough.

There were two men
without gloves on.

Your men, Ben.

Frank, one of your drivers
jumped the gun.

Don't they know the order
they leave in?

He was nervous.

l'm paying for nerve...

...not nerves.

What about the equipment, Don?

Three of the radio units
didn't work...

...and I couldn't read the signal
from the spotter.

l'd like doubles of everything,
including batteries.

- Frank?
- Sure.

How was the timing?

Too slow.

- Things will be easier on the night, we'll be---
- It was too slow!

We've got forty-five minutes
at the outside.

l want it done in twenty-five.

You fellas think you gonna bust...

...a high-value security van in
twenty-five minutes?

lt won't be a high-value
security van.

The regular vans will be out
of action. Fixed.

The substitute one will be easy.

[FANS SHOUTING]

- Do we provide the shooters?
- No guns!

What happens if things
get sticky?

Turn on the charm, Ben.

- Now, look---
- No guns.

l want no violence, no accidents.

They don't carry guns,
we don't need them.

Five million quid and no guns.

They don't carry guns.

And they've never been done.

Still think we should have 'em.

Why, in case someone should
disturb your hair?

l can handle myself, I just...

...don't reckon getting caught.

Nobody does.

lf you're caught with a shooter it's...

...three times the sentence.

Okay, okay - no guns.

Now, about the share-out.

What about the share-out?

l don't like the idea of the
money leaving...

...the country before the payout.

l want mine before we split up.

We're talking about millions
of pounds, now.

We're talking about road blocks,
car searches...

...house raids, shake-downs.

They'll know who pulled the job.

Without the money they can't
prove anything.

You said the notes won't
be traceable.

You'll get the money...

...when it's safe.

Okay. That's it, then.

My boys are out.

And mine.

[CROWD ROARING]

We can't do it on our own.

No.

We'll have to postpone it, then.

No.

Frank, get them back.

Cash on the nail -
right after the job.

lt means we'll have to hide
out till we've counted it.

We'll be pinned down and the
law will be swarming.

So we need a hide-out.

Close by.

lnside the police cordon,
with all that money.

Could be the safest place.

l still like Switzerland.

Not for us.

That's that, then.

Means the boys will have
to be briefed again...

...and thoroughly.

Dave will tell you when we've
got a hide-out.

And the next time we meet...

...will be on the money train.

[CROWD ROARING]

[TYPEWRITER CLACKING AND COUGHING]

- Inspector Langdon?
- Ah, yes.

- One prisoner.
- Thank you.

- Much obliged to you.
- Thank you.

Sit down.

Take off the cuffs.

l thought we might have
another little chat.

We're informal here.

Left it a bit late, haven't you?

[LITTLE LAUGH]
My mind seems to work better at night.

- Do you ever find that?
- No.

Tell me about the Robinson escape?

ls it a wall picture?

[SARCASTIC LAUGHING]

What's this big job comin' up?

l don't know anythin' about
any "big job".

Jack...

...come off it now. You know
me - I'm not talking.

Well, I've got all night.

Well, I don't know.

What a mug.

You're in 'ere, they're out there.

Do you think they're giving you
a thought right now?

Do you know Paul Clifton?

Come back to bed, Kate.

Why?

What's wrong?

Tell me.

"Never again."

"From now on..."

"...straight and narrow."

"I'll never put you through
that again, Kate."

You bloody hypocrite!

Oh, well - what's a little cheating,
here and there?

lt's happening all over.

You're imagining things.

Come on! Paul, I know you.

Kate.

Have you ever been to three movies...

...in a day and had no idea
what you'd seen?

What are you talking about?

l'm talking about how...

...long a day is when you're alone.

Think I don't know about that?

Yes!

You were in prison, Paul.

l was alone.

l wanted you to give us a home,
but you never will.

So what makes you so different...

...from any other man I might
want to go to bed with?

And don't think I don't
want to go to...

...bed with a man when you're inside.

Don't think your friends don't offer.

l think you've had too
much to drink.

l don't care what you think.

l don't care if you don't think.

But you do think.

You're the Last of the Big
Thinkers, aren't you?

Who's been talking to you?

And there you are.

You start cheating, Paul,
you end up...

...thinking everyone else
is cheating, too.

This doesn't help.

lt helps.

lt helps a little.

How about that?

l'm at the stage where
l settle for a little.

You wouldn't settle for a little,
would you, Paul?

You're big.

l'm going back to bed.

How big are you, Paul?

l'm talking about the gun...

...in the drawer, in the bedroom.

- What's the gun for, Paul?
- The gun is nothing.

You don't need a gun...

...to go straight.

- It's nothing.
- Don't lie, Paul!

- Say it!
- Kate.

You never used to need a gun.

- No, you used to---
- SHUT UP!

Darling.

You tell me what the gun's for...

...and I'll come back to bed.

[DEEP SlGHlNG]
Oh, what's it for, Paul?

Because l'm not going back inside.

Not again.

Dave?

There's a grey car coming.

An Austin.

SHUT UP!

Shout it from the bloody rooftops.

Be glad when we've got the radios.

- Thanks, Ken.
- How's it going?

- I haven't seen those sleeping bags.
- They're in the back of the Austin.

KEEP YOUR BLOODY GLOVES ON!!!

[TRAIN STATION NOlSES]

[WOMAN SINGING lN THE
BACKGROUND]

l've put the call through
on this line, sir.

When do you want them?
