Dempsey!

He is dead.

You all right?

Makepeace?

You all right?

But, erm...

We entered the premises at Mark Street.

We were acting on information received by Dempsey

that some persons unknown were planning a major heist.

And had recruited one Crazy Joe Carter. We...

Look, is it really necessary to go over all this again?

I am not doing it for my personal enjoyment, Sergeant.

A man has been shot.

So if it's not too much trouble?

We entered the premises at Mark Street

with the intention of apprehending... the suspect.

But...

But he got the drop on you.

Not exactly.

Well, what, exactly?

That's it. That's all there is. There is nothing else.

May I go now?

Right.

- What's the matter with Makepeace? - Search me, Guv.

So what?

- How much money did he have with him? - £3,000, plus.

Where was he carrying it?

He had it in a brown envelope inside his jacket.

It must've been an advance.

A lot of money. Especially if you're Crazy Joe.

He's been scrambled for years.

Recruiting half-baked has-beens for a big job

just doesn't make sense.

We may have to pull your informant in.

- No way. - This could be a setup.

My man wouldn't be involved in something like that.

Maybe I should be the judge of that.

I'll speak to him again.

OK.

Either he comes up with something good or he comes in. Understand?

Sometimes, it's hard for me to get my head around the fact

this guy is on the same side I am.

I heard that, Lieutenant.

Dempsey!

- You have told me everything? - Sure, boss.

You haven't left out anything that, perhaps, I should know about?

Like what?

Makepeace seems... upset.

The guy got iced. It was an either/or situation.

- She's seen people killed before. - Eh, well, broads are sensitive.

You think that?

Crazy Joe fired at her and nearly took her head off.

Boom, he misses. Bam, I get him before he gets another shot off.

I don't know. It's win or lose. Crazy Joe lost. What can I tell you?

Somebody's planning a nasty job.

I don't want to read about it first in the papers.

So what's eating you? You upset cos I shot Crazy Joe?

You think I shouldn't have?

No, I don't think anything of the sort.

You think I should try to immobilise the guy in the dark?

No.

How do you stop a guy who is going ape with a 12 bore?

What do you want me to do? Shoot out his trigger finger?

Dempsey, back off, will you?

Not until I find out what's eating you.

All right, so you saw Crazy Joe take the fast exit.

No return admission.

What, are you suffering from some kind of delayed shock?

Tombstones freak you out? It was pretty spooky in there.

Probably would have got to me if I thought about it.

I tell you what, why don't we screw the legwork and I'll buy you a beer.

- What do you say? - I saw Crazy Joe shoot you.

You what?

I saw him shoot you. Dead.

He aimed at your head and pulled the trigger.

The cartridge must've been damp or something, cos it didn't fire.

That's the only reason you're still here.

Alive and kicking. So what else is new?

Suppose that's just how it'll be.

Hey, you're damn right. We're in the front line, remember?

You got to go with the percentages. I mean, this time I was lucky.

- Maybe next time... - I don't want to be around next time.

Hey, Sergeant, it was a one in a million, you know?

Could have been a burst tyre on the runway, you know?

A flock of birds in the engine. Clear air turbulence.

A navigational error. What are you going to do?

Start taking the boat? Life is hard, then you die.

I don't particularly want to see you die.

I don't particularly want to see you die, either.

You don't?

What are you talking about, eh?

Nobody wants to see anybody die. It ain't pleasant.

Exactly.

- Where the hell are you going? - I don't know.

Aren't we supposed to be working together?

- I supposed we to be. - We gotta go find Dan.

Find him yourself.

Put that cigarette out.

Not in the ashtray. Out of the window.

Sorry.

We can't continue.

- Why not? - Crazy Joe.

- So he got shot? - Yeah, by the cops.

- So what? - They must know something.

- No, that's impossible. - How can you be so sure?

Dead men tell no tales.

He didn't have a tale to tell.

- He was just providing the car. - Where we going to get a car from now?

- Don't worry. Leave it to me. - I am worried.

What are you worried about now?

Look, I mean, we've got to be crazy.

It's not just any safety deposit.

It's the mob's. Nobody steals from them.

I've been in the organisation all my life.

They owe me. I'm just taking what's mine.

I'll tell you what, why don't we leave it a month or two,

just in case the cops are onto it?

No, that's impossible.

I can't wait.

I heard about a good one the other day.

We can get the plans for five grand. It's a building society.

Don't you have any dreams, Corman?

You want to be small-time all your life?

Don't you want to take the chance of a lifetime when it's offered to you?

Well, I hope you do.

But now I've taken you this far...

...you're going to have to go all the way.

Listen, any of you guys seen Dan?

Sir.

Now, lightly clean the car. And carefully shampoo the carpets.

- Good morning, Tony. - Morning.

- Paper? - No, thank you.

I'm trying to give them up. Ah, Christina.

Just the usual cappuccino, please.

Well, what do you know?

- What is it, Tony? - They got Crazy Joe.

- They shot him. - Who did?

The cops.

Tony, I've told you on a number of occasions,

never call the cops "they".

- Is he dead? - Yeah.

Well, nothing lasts forever.

- Hello, James. - Hello, Dan.

If you going to move, you might send out some change of address cards.

- What is that? - It's a woman.

I guess you ain't seen one in a while.

I paint them as they really are.

I'm free to see them because they don't want me,

so I am allowed to see.

You're allowed to speak, as well. And you'd better.

Because I need more.

I got a lot of heavy pressure. They want me to turn you.

I haven't and I won't.

But you got to help me. I need more. And I need it now.

- You killed Crazy Joe? - He was trying to kill me.

In the jungle of South America,

the giant anaconda slides from the tree.

He lowers gently to the ground.

His body, looped in the branches,

his head touches the ground.

As a small jungle pig crosses the clearing,

the anaconda opens its mouth.

The small jungle pig stops.

Now, the anaconda could never catch it.

But the pig can't move. Its muscles shake.

It tries to resist it.

But it cannot fight the law of the jungle.

And, slowly, it walks

right into the anaconda's mouth.

It's the way of things.

Dreams are lost in the lust.

The hunter becomes the hunted.

Desperate men eat themselves.

James, I'll tell you what you want to know.

Hey-a bo...

...boss. Working late?

What's happening?

- What happened to you? - What do you mean?

Oh, I was celebrating.

- Celebrating what? - I all but solved the case.

I know the location of the gar... The garage...

...that's supplying the getaway cars for the heist.

- What heist? - Well, I don't know that part, yet.

But me and Makepeace, we'll set up a full surveillance

and then the whole thing should just fall right in our laps.

That may prove rather difficult.

- What's this? - From Harry.

She's resigned from the force.

- Hi. - Hi.

Can I come in? Erm...

Look, I'm really busy.

- Can it wait? - No.

What the hell's going on, eh?

Well, I can only think you're referring to my resignation.

Was it something I did? I apologise.

There's nothing to apologise for,

for once.

Look, as much as I would love

to sit down and discuss this with you,

I really do have a lot of work to do.

We both do. Remember, we were in the middle of a case?

As a matter of fact, I've got a good lead on what Crazy Joe was up to.

I don't seem to be getting through to you, do I?

Would you like a drink?

- What does that spoon do? - Keeps the champagne from going flat.

Why don't you stick that in your sense of humour,

because this resignation is a really bad joke?

Want some?

- What's all this? - All this is my new job.

I'm helping an old professor of mine

set up an exhibition at the Natural History Museum.

Boy, you don't waste any time, do you?

Natural History Museum.

Dinosaurs are extinct.

So is Neanderthal man. Hadn't you better be going?

You're playing a dangerous game, Harriet.

- I hope you know the rules. - What rules are they, James?

You're not irreplaceable. You know that.

Neither are you.

Leftenant Dempsey. Joyce Hargreaves.

Seconded from C6.

Lieutenant.

I'm sorry?

Lieutenant.

Yes, and I'm pleased to meet you,

You want to tell me what you got here?

Right.

The main entrance to the garage down there.

I've been calling in the car numbers as they enter.

Looks like we've turned up quite an interesting little operation.

Two recently stolen vehicles in the last hour.

All right.

- 'Control to Charlie Six.' - Charlie Six.

'Owner registered as one Daisy Hogan.

'Car reported stolen at 0900 hours. Over.'

That's a third. Drove in ten minutes ago.

It's the brown Mini down there by the shed.

Yeah.

How's Harriet? I heard she was sick.

She ain't sick.

It's just what I was told.

Well, you were told wrong. This yours?

Hardly. But feel free.

Thanks.

- Let's not miss anything, huh? - Let's not, indeed.

Ah. And that's what I call a motorcar.

1967 or is it '68?

You want to have a look?

- Well, why do I know you? - What do you see?

Look for a minnow and you find a mackerel.

Start snapping the guy down there with the tie on.

Right.

Who is it?

Or is it some huge SI10 huge privileged secret?

Just somebody Sergeant Makepeace has been after

for one hell of a long time.

Makepeace.

- I got to talk to you. - Dempsey. Well, what a surprise.

- Would you like me to show you round? - You're not going to believe this.

All of a sudden, we've got ourselves a big, fat, juicy baby.

Well, as you can see, I've already got one.

Hey, Sergeant, wait till you hear...

Look, there's not much point in calling me "Sergeant" now.

Wait till you hear this news flash. You're not going to believe it.

Yes, thank you, Dempsey.

I am enjoying my new work.

Will you listen?

Will you listen?

I know the name of the guy behind the robbery. George Daish.

I'm very happy for you. Now, if you wouldn't mind leaving?

Daish. D-A-I-S-H.

The guy you've been trying to nail and you couldn't get zilch on.

We got him. He is in our hands. He's ours.

That is definitely the best news I've heard all day.

I'm glad to hear that. So does that mean you're coming back?

No. It means you and your new partner will be busy.

Too busy to keep coming here and bugging me.

Oh, so that's it, huh? The new partner.

That's why you're acting so snippy.

- No, Dempsey, that isn't it. - Well, then, what is it?

You come here.

You don't ask me what I'm doing.

You don't ask me how I'm doing.

Because you don't care how I'm

doing. All you care about is Daish.

And when you've got him, it'll be someone else.

Well, I'm bored with the Daish's of this world.

And I'm bored with you.

In fact, I never want to see you again. So will you please go?

- How accurate is this? - To the inch.

You go in through the second door. Leave one man on the stairs.

Take the other one down into the vault with you.

Now, it's number 32 you're after. But don't take just that one.

Clear out about ten others, as well.

What about once we're outside the bank?

We change over car.

It will be positioned...

...just here.

It's a silver Opel. Remember that.

Positioned there. That's about eight minutes from the bank.

I can do that in five. No, but you won't.

We don't want any risks. No speeding.

Once you reach the change-over car, you're completely safe.

Good luck.

I think we've really got something this time.

Daish is a sharp operator.

Too sharp to get mixed up in a set-up like this.

Even smart guys make mistakes.

I can't see anything in these photographs to arrest him for.

He could, of course, just want to get his car fixed.

What's the matter with you? It is possible, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

I'm on again in the morning. Is there anything else, sir?

No, no. You go on. Thank you.

- See you in the morning. - See you in the morning.

- Going, Joyce? - Yes.

- Night. - Night.

Wiretap application, Guv.

- Oh, Chas... - Car phone. Already checked.

- He's got one. - Good man.

And also the squad's cleared from the river detail, now.

Right, I want two men on Daish.

Separate covers on his apartment, car and office.

- And floaters. - Sure.

I think you and I should think this thing through.

Somewhere else.

Yeah.

Good idea.

Has it ever occurred to you, Lieutenant, that she may...

...care for you?

We're partners. We care about each other, right?

You haven't heard what I've been saying. I mean, really care.

- I really care. - No.

I mean... care

You mean... care, care?

However you want to say it.

Are you saying she cares like that?

Maybe.

Nah. Then, why she quit?

Well, perhaps she thinks you don't care in that way for her.

Chief.

Boss.

Governor.

Do you think I'm boring?

Joyce.

I thought you could use some company.

Come in.

- Oh, and I brought you this. - Oh, lovely. Thank you.

Well, you're obviously not sick. So what's going on?

I've resigned. Sit down. Make yourself at home.

You're not serious?

- I certainly am. - You'll change your mind.

Mind you, I have to say,

after just one day of working with Dempsey, I don't blame you.

Is he giving you a hard time already?

He's uncommunicative, to say the least.

Yes, he can be. It does take a little getting used to.

In fact, some people might say, downright rude.

Oh, it's just his manner.

You have to know how to handle him.

Oh, I see.

Well, quite frankly, I don't how you've lasted as long as you have.

Neither do I.

So.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

How's it going?

It's very nice to be back on fieldwork.

Even though it is only surveillance.

It's been quite a while for you, now, hasn't it?

Yeah.

You know, how that man ever became a detective is beyond me.

Well, now, hand on a minute. He is a very good detective.

In fact he's probably the best detective I've ever seen.

Yes, but what about his reputation? And judging by today, it's all true.

Well, now, he only has that reputation because he's different.

I mean, that's what nobody's ever been able to understand.

He's different to the rest of us.

He doesn't think like us or work like us.

But he is a first-class cop

- because he cares. - Yeah.

He does. He cares passionately about people.

And I'll tell you something else, you're very lucky,

because he's the best partner you could ever have.

Ah. Now I understand.

Well, let me tell you something.

You are the best policewoman I have ever seen.

And you are crazy to throw away your career over a man.

I don't want to see him killed.

But don't you see?

With you, he stands the best chance of staying alive.

O, yeah! Ha!

Dan, I've got to talk to you. I've got a problem.

Then you must have a woman on your mind.

I'm telling ya.

I'm not interested.

- You're not? - No, so maybe I can help.

I mean, I don't know what to do.

Did you talk to her?

- Yeah, I talked to her. - And?

Well...

It ain't easy to talk to her.

Idiot.

I wonder why women have ears?

I mean, what am I supposed to do?

Well, practise, practise.

Practise, what?

- There she is. - What? Who?

There.

Right there.

Go on. Talk to her. Talk to her.

You want me to talk to an empty chair?

Well, I'd rather. Chairs don't talk back.

Now, you just... Just say what you feel.

Go on. Talk to her. Go on.

Come on. Don't laugh, Dan.

Laugh?

I'm trying not to cry.

You can't say, I need you.

Can you?

'Charlie Six to Charlie Five.

'Charlie Six to Charlie Five. Come in, please.'

'Charlie Six to Charlie Five, are you receiving me? Over.'

'Charlie Six to Charlie Five, are you there? Come in, please.'

Charlie's dead.

Give me that.

Charlie...

Charlie Five to Charlie Six, come in.

They're bringing out one of the cars.

It's the silver Opal they've been working on overnight.

And it's got new plates.

Alpha 363 Hotel November Golf.

Uh, Charlie Five to Charlie Six. Follow the car.

Call me on your coordinates and I'll link up with you. Over.

'Roger, Charlie Five. Going out now.'

And don't do anything until I get to you. Out.

Charlie Five to Charlie Six. Just follow and stay out of sight.

Don't do anything. Repeat, do not do anything until I get to you. Over.

Roger, Charlie Five.

Charlie Five to Control. Where is Daish?

- 'We lost him.' - You what?

- 'About an hour ago.' - 'Charlie Five to Charlie Six.

'Where are you now?'

Glebe Road. Approaching Harrison Street.

I pulled over, Harrison and Glebe.

Driver has left the car. He's walking away.

Harrison and Glebe. Harrison and Glebe.

Got it. Charlie Six, I'm five minutes away from you.

Just watch and wait.

Control, you got that location, Chas?

'We have a report of an armed robbery in your area.

'Stephen's Bank. Ten minutes ago. Blue transit.'

Roger, Control. That could be them.

Charlie Six, they could be with you in a few minutes.

It's a blue Transit. Look out for a blue Transit.

It's here. They're approaching now.

Don't do anything.

You got that, Charlie Six?

- 'Roger, Charlie Five.' - Just watch and follow.

Get out of my way.

Police! Don't move!

Now, get out of the car.

Get out!

Turn around. Hands on the roof.

Charlie Six to all units.

I have apprehended a suspect at Harrison and Glebe.

Urgent, send immediate assistance.

Charlie Five in target zone. Officer down and badly injured.

Ambulance required. Urgent.

Hang in.

Got your message. What's up?

I'm afraid there's been a robbery down at the bank this morning.

They took cash and deposit boxes, including ours, I'm afraid.

There's over £10 million in negotiable bonds in there.

Nice haul for someone.

Yes, they got extremely lucky.

Or unlucky.

Damn it!

It should never have happened.

I know.

I'm not blaming you, Dempsey. It's my responsibility.

She'd been too long behind a desk.

She was just trying too hard.

To live up to Makepeace's reputation.

These are the owners of the stolen deposit boxes.

- They all been informed? - No, but one name sticks out.

Daish?

Gets his own safety deposit box stolen. Now, that's interesting.

Crafty guy. Stealing from his own organisation.

We'll take this carefully.

Let him play his hand.

- Do we tell head office? - Oh, gosh.

We don't want them finding out from somebody else, do we?

OK.

When Corman gives him the money, kill them both.

- Yeah. Yeah, got that. - If somebody's got nothing to do,

they can figure out who stole the paper towels from the men's room.

Hey, listen. We picked up something from Daish's car phone.

He's set up a meeting at the Brett Street pub in one hour.

I got it. You leave this to me and I'll cover this.

Chas, tell you what.

Set up some back-up but don't move in unless there is action, you got that?

Harry Makepeace, where can I find her?

Thank you.

Makepeace!

You got to come with me, now. I need your help.

I have a job to do here, Dempsey.

Fine, but maybe you'd like to sign this "get well" card

for Sergeant Hargreaves.

- Because she's in a coma. - Joyce?!

She was run down by an escape vehicle in the pursuit of YOUR duty.

Is she going to be all right?

- Yeah, no thanks to you. - It isn't my fault.

Well, she'd have been OK if you'd stayed on the case.

Don't try and pin that on me, Lieutenant. That's below the belt.

If you've just come here to lay a guilt trip on me, you might as well leave.

All right, all right, I'm sorry. You're right.

But I need your help. Come on, we can still get Daish.

I just got it on a tap. He's going to make the drop in an hour.

Come on, do it for Joyce.

I'm doing something for myself, for once. Get someone else.

- There is no one else. - I'm not the only choice.

You are for me, Harry.

What do you want me to do? Beg, get down on my knees?

OK, I'm begging you, OK?

Come on. There's no time to train anyone.

We know each other. We know each other's moves before we do them.

Come on, Harry. We're a team. We're partners.

Harry, please?

Harry.

Harry.

I need you!

Just this one job.

All right!

- What are you grinning at? - I don't know.

This guy that Daish is meeting, do you know what he looks like?

No. But I can recognise a big bag of money when I see one.

Tony.

You made a big mistake, George.

You can't steal from the organisation

and expect to get away with it.

Well, look at it my way, Tony.

It's my last chance.

I'm dying.

You should have asked me. I would have given you everything I had.

I wanted to go out in style.

That's just how you're going.

As soon as Corman gets here with the money.

Can I say one last thing?

You've been like a son to me, Tony. I've taught you everything you know.

And I introduced you to everybody you know.

And I paid him more.

Police, drop your weapon!

Get down, Dempsey.

Freeze!

- You OK, partner? - Yeah.

Daish! Daish!

Out of the car, Daish.

That's really it, huh?

Still going to leave.

Yeah, I've made a decision.

- You hurt your head or something? - Huh? No, I was just thinking.

Well, er...

I must be going.

'Control to Charlie Five. Come in, please.'

- Well, I've made a decision, too. - Yeah? What about?

- I'm resigning, also. - Whatever for?

What, you think I like working in this dump without...?

'Control to Charlie Five, come in, please?

Without what?

Without you.

'Control to Charlie Five. This is a 7-10. Come in, please?'

Bound to be for you. Aren't you going to answer that?

You don't work here. I don't work here.

'Control to Charlie Five. Are you reading me? Over.'

This is Charlie Five to Control. Come in, please?
