Original subtitles

Now, let me remind you, the point of this exercise is to catch these babies in the

act, not before, so that Miller can get his fancy attorney to dance him out of

court like last time, and not after when somebody's already hurt.

All right?

That's why the silence is recording the evidence.

So you cover her.

You cover her good.

Never mind about Miller.

He's mine.

We hit him on.

Right?

Right.

All right.

Morning.

Mr. Johnson.

Not here.

Oh, I've got a lot of cement for him.

This is a couch.

Oh, how is it?

Perhaps you come to the wrong site.

Yes.

Maybe I have.

Sorry to have traveled you.

Sounds like a double-gate shot.

Go away!

Go away!

Open the door.

Freeze!

Drop it!

Drop it!

Drop it!

How's it going?

We're heading out, run tight now!

How's it going?

We've been through once already.

Nothing even close.

Yeah, well, you got to have some in the sky and nobody.

Yeah.

What's this?

Elected works of Charlie Miller.

His lifelong vendetta against armored vans.

Well, it's dead.

We're looking for him.

They found the jug.

Yeah.

Like to keep.

What about Perry, the wheel man?

Local boys went to see his sister.

She says he's in Spain.

Yeah, it was his ghost driving this morning.

Have you seen this boss?

Not all of it.

I felt run that back.

Take a look at this.

Phil, you run that pot.

Right there.

Look at this guy.

Look at that.

What now do he is?

Thank you.

Soon.

We're working on it.

What's the matter with your friend?

What do you mean?

Well, it seems a bit peculiar.

No more than usual.

Near as we found.

17-year-old kid called Keith Lymon.

He was taken 20 years ago.

That's the guy.

Hello.

Hello.

The money's in this bag.

All of it.

Six grand each.

Where did Minna get the job?

He said Harry Rose.

The Promoter.

How long you been away?

He's not in your business.

What?

You won't.

You won't never see me before in your life.

It's true.

And...

You won't never see me again.

That's it.

That's all you got on this guy.

Yeah.

That's the same as what's on his car.

Well, that's where it comes from.

He was only a juvenile at the time.

Just what about his school records?

What about reform school?

Juvie Hall.

It must be something here.

As luck would have it, the school burned down and all the records with it.

I can't believe it.

You're telling me this?

That's all you got on this guy.

This guy?

I mean, with all his computer equipment, you

are plugged into the brain center of Britain.

Dempsey, you can't get information out of

the computer if the information isn't there.

Now, now, wait a second here.

You keep bragging what a computer genius you are.

So, how about coming up with some goods?

Now, listen, Dempsey.

I can't just deliver results because you demand it.

Now, you listen.

I get results.

That's the difference.

Who are you?

What do you want?

Some jokes.

Like you gave Miller and me this morning.

But better.

The job was solid.

Miller or one of his mates must have blabbed.

Maybe.

Hello.

I'll see what I can do.

Yeah.

Well, I guess so.

Spider!

I ain't got a gun.

Where's Lyman?

Who?

Lyman.

The other guy in the car.

Come on.

I've never seen him before.

Perry.

I'm so tired of beating up my slums like you.

My life.

Miller brought him in.

He was a total stranger.

For a job like that.

No, I didn't know about you.

Oh.

You don't punch him for 15 years already.

It's not all here.

How much is missing?

Six grand.

Six grand.

What happened?

Well, he took it.

Lyman?

Yeah, come here.

He took his car.

I thought he was going to do me in the North.

Look, I don't know anything else about it.

Only six grand.

The tenant.

How much time do you spend in a car with him?

About an hour.

What did you talk about?

He didn't say much.

You must have talked about something.

Just...

Just what?

About that foil last week.

What about it?

What about it?

Well, there was a way to talk.

You're lucky it was a boxer.

It used to be.

When?

A long time ago.

I wasn't listening.

Look, I was watching out.

Don't say nothing.

Don't say nothing.

Don't say nothing.

You're right.

You're right, kid.

Come on, let's go.

I'll go back.

I'll go and take him away.

You need food?

No.

Are you sure it was?

Yeah, and I was told that.

How many?

Two.

One was a bird, the other was a yank.

A yank.

Evie Giza.

Went in first.

All right, my son.

Here.

I'll give you something to sniff through this.

What?

Burn in rubber.

Chaz.

Chaz?

I just had a word with this pelly character.

What the hell did you do to him?

Nothing.

He's shaking like a leaf.

That's the way he was when Dempsey brought him in.

Well, you'd better get him a bloody doctor.

Quick.

Because between the two of them, Lyman and Dempsey have got him crawling up the wall.

You want me the most pleasant experience, both of them on the same day?

Look, I've got a man running about with feathers in his hair.

I've got a yank chewing gum like he's starving to death.

Then I've got a hardened villain who's about to have a nervous breakdown.

Now, what the hell is going on?

We're moving on those military records like you asked.

What?

Still no word on whether Lyman has a military record.

Well, you'd better hurry it up.

Because I don't think we've got much time.

Why is that?

One fact I was able to ask the chain from my Mr. Perry's incoherent babble.

Lyman's after another job.

You think you keep a low profile now?

Any normal, reliable old-fashioned criminal?

Yes.

But with this man, no.

So let's put a few rockets under a few desks.

Shall we?

I want you to put it about.

I don't want to see anyone chewing gum in this office again.

Mm-hmm.

Now don't go making eyes and need these guys here.

Why, I just get one of them to gonna pop you on the chindens.

It's just they're not used to sophisticated behaviour from.

You know what I mean.

We don't want to get in the wrong opinion, you know.

Beer?

Champagne?

Two beers, please.

So what do we do if one of them does decide to hit you?

Only one thing.

What's that?

You bend over me, you dab my face with a wet sponge.

You look at my eyes, you say sweetheart, you was robbed.

Maybe I'll throw in the towel just before.

Alright, here we go.

You sure changed over the years, huh?

Not much.

Yeah.

Maybe you can help me out.

I'm trying to find a young kid I saw box.

Long time ago.

His name was, uh, Lyman.

Middleweight.

Yeah, probably.

Oh, Jim Kelly.

He's a bloke and, uh, where do I find him?

Oh, he's hard to find.

Yeah.

Give the men a drink, huh?

Again?

Give him 100 now.

Who should you help?

She me you?

No, he can't afford me, love.

Jim Kelly.

Who is it?

James Dempsey.

How'd he tell me at the bucket you were getting his man?

Mind if I, uh, come in?

Great place you got here.

Don't seem too many people.

Must get lonely for you.

No.

I don't really like visitors.

Oh.

I'm sorry to bother you then.

You from New York?

Yeah.

That's right.

I came all the way to talk to you.

What do you want?

I'm looking for a guy.

Used to be a boxer.

I say you're the man I talk to.

I don't know people now.

He was not from now.

Yeah, take a look.

See if you remember this guy.

It's a kid.

A kid?

Well, he was then.

Take a look.

Yeah.

In a light.

I can't see it.

You didn't look at it.

Take a look.

Lyman?

How much a boxer maybe?

Sorry, what was that?

I trained that boy.

You did.

Huh.

Was he good?

He could have gone all the way here.

Why didn't he?

He went wrong.

Wrong?

But I'm told.

Nice, nice of you to visit.

Yeah.

No problem.

I guess so.

I'll be going.

I'm busy.

Let it wait.

No.

Go.

Five minutes.

Dempsey just lost Lyman again.

Apparently he nearly had him.

He's not having much luck, is he?

Dempsey's been very strangely tough.

So what's new?

No, he...

He keeps calling for updates.

Chex, rechex.

He can't stop talking about this Lyman character.

I expect everyone in the building to be on this case.

Like nothing else matters.

And you think it might affect his judgment?

I think he may have a personal involvement.

I don't know what or why.

Could be dangerous.

For him?

For everyone.

Listen, Chairs.

Put yourself in Dempsey's shoes for a moment.

If I had you pulled off this case now, what would that do to you?

I just thought I should mention it, Guff.

Look, what I'm trying to tell you is you are working the percentages.

Everything is percentages.

Oh, no.

So far you have led a charm life.

Don't ask me how.

Don't tell me how.

But right now the situation has changed.

You are persona non-grata with the cops.

And especially with this yank.

I believe in yank.

It's my country.

Yeah, but you don't run it.

The cops do.

And the yanks with them.

What are they doing with yanks, aren't they?

They've got him and he's got it in for you.

I've handled cops before.

This isn't just police.

S.I.10.

That's a firm within a firm.

If they want you, the commissioner can't stop them.

It's a bastards.

Sure they are.

And somehow they've got you targeted.

So why don't you go wake somewhere nice like Spain?

Wait until they've forgotten about you.

Moved on to something else.

Oh, dafang, what am I going to do in Spain?

I live here.

Need some bread?

I will see you're right.

Well, make a deal.

When I want to be paid back, I will bring you in for a job.

You don't like the job, you don't owe me.

Now what could be fair?

I didn't run it from no yank.

This yank's got to you.

No yank.

Nobody gets to me.

Whatever you say.

But as long as that mob, as you marked, don't ask me for a job, right?

I ain't asking you for a job.

No?

I'm telling you.

Get me one.

I'll blow you away.

Lyman was a soldier.

Spent some years in Borneo, Aiden, Cyprus.

Special operations.

I knew I'd find you here.

The son will discharge.

Assaulting is commanding officer.

So, what's bothering you?

The weather.

I don't know how you put up with it.

Makes me think of New York.

Maybe I'm homesick.

No, but what's really bothering you?

I can't do it no more, Harry.

I'm losing it.

I'm missing.

What's my edge?

Maybe I'm burned down.

This Lyman is really getting to you, isn't he?

Lyman.

You know something.

He reminds me of you.

What's that line on you?

He threw you operation.

He killed Miller.

He gave you the slip not once, but twice.

And he's always a step ahead of you.

So is my shadow.

And you can't catch that either.

Maybe he's the bogeyman.

Maybe he's what you would have been if you weren't a cop.

Dempsey.

I wasn't here before.

I got the message.

I'll wait for your call.

What do you want?

Do you want Lyman?

Yeah.

Is it worth a deal?

No deal.

I want him.

Then we should talk.

How much coffee are you making?

What do you think we're going to pick up?

Who's got the bullhorn?

Put batteries in this time, yo!

How's the maps?

Perfect.

Good scale.

You're doing a video this time?

No, Davis.

Dave.

I have a good profile, huh?

Okay.

Mind if I look?

Oh.

Well, you can tell a lot about a person's count to buy their gun.

So what can you tell me?

A small butt.

Effective.

Hardly used.

Let me see yours.

Mmm.

Oversized, overused, and over here.

Here, how you doing?

Okay.

It'll be essential, you know?

Yeah, I know.

You know the accuracy of a shotgun?

Sure.

It wouldn't hit that wall.

It'll be five times further back than what you'd be covering me.

What piece of gun?

Nothing.

Lieutenant?

Yeah.

You don't buy any chance to happen to have had any

dealings with this Lyman creature before now, do you?

Apart from today?

Yeah.

Somewhere in your distant and murky past.

Never.

Just checking.

Checking what?

That we haven't got a vendetta going on.

A vendetta between me and Lyman?

I have blue in operation.

I've worked out for months, but...

What I'm trying to do is make this country safe for old ladies walking their dogs.

Young girls coming off from church at night.

All right.

But I'm sure the one place that won't be a...

A sea of tranquility will be the stakeout of yours.

That was before we knew about this Lyman guy.

This time there won't be no surprises.

All same.

Make up a couple of lunch packs for men Chas Harry.

We'll be coming on this picnic too.

The Mortimerian.

I think we should pull it off, Cup.

What do you mean?

All the company.

Cancel the shipment.

Pre-emptive the job.

Lose this chance of getting Lyman?

We can get him another time.

Wait for an easier opportunity.

Catch him cold.

The man's a blood-crazed animal.

There's only going to be bloodshed if we ambush him.

We've seen on film how he operates.

Exactly.

The boys have been watching it.

Again and again.

Is this an unofficial deputation?

Of course not.

They'll give you everything you know of that, Gove.

I just don't see why we should risk a bloodbath confrontation.

So Dempsey can make amends for the previous fiasco.

Do you fancy going after Lyman yourself sometime?

No, I'm not saying that, Gove.

Hey!

Party time!

You guys coming on what?

Right.

Let's head the road.

Are you thinking of using that thing?

Suit yourself.

Now, this is the route.

And that's the time they leave the factory.

They'll be moving along here, down here, turning it Conway Avenue.

And then on to Heath Road, where you have to hit him.

It's a perfect spot.

Your truck had better be here at 115, at the junction.

That'll give him distance enough to turn into lane.

Have you got a driver?

Maybe.

I'll tell you if he's good.

This time, nobody gets told anything they don't need to know, including you.

Oh, I was just trying to be helpful.

Send me a card from sunny Spain.

Where are you ready?

Now where?

You ready for the big time?

Of course.

Let's hope our friend Rose was right, otherwise this could be very nice.

Everything's perfect so far.

I mean, look at this place.

Perfect for an ambush.

An English air, huh?

Smells good.

That'll lock our hand.

Since when, Lieutenant, did you know the sound of the lock makes?

Hail to the blind spirit, Percy Shelley.

There was this English poet guy.

He used to sling him into the tank from time to time.

He taught me.

He just rubbed the neck of a bottle, you know, made a sound just like a lock.

He loved doing that.

He used to say, Hail to the blind spirit, Percy.

That was the name of the bartender.

Hit me again.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Something here sounded like a lock.

Almost show time.

Everybody ready, huh?

We set to go?

I'm gonna have one more briefing, eh?

A final briefing.

For me, I get nervous, too.

You got that thing down yet?

You know how to work it?

Yeah.

Those are the shoes you're gonna wear.

Yeah.

How long is it?

See you in a couple of minutes.

Good shot has a wine spread, Sergeant.

You take care now.

You, too.

You know about this stuff?

What about it?

Makes you invisible to the bogeyman.

Want some?

I suppose I'd better then.

Sergeant?

Sergeant?

Where'd you go?

Field control to center.

Message received.

Stand by for a reply.

Densee?

One five seven on the RT.

Sounds like you're informing again.

You have to call in from a call box.

You better go and get it.

Where's the call box?

Three miles straight down the road.

Right.

It's me.

What's up?

The bastard changed the location.

To where?

He's heading down Greenford Lane.

Now that means the only other good place.

It is Ashley Road Junction.

Is that on the same road?

Yeah.

Are you on Bramley Fork?

Yeah, I think so.

You can just make it.

Densee wouldn't set us up, would he?

Round three, Lyman.

Why didn't you use your RT Lieutenant?

I told you to get the RT fixed.

I knew to blurt an opportune moment.

I never chance to get it fixed.

I've been telling him.

Thanks, sir.

Peace to come.

I'll get out.

And I'll have you.

So you caught your bogeyman at last?

Bogeyman?

There's no such thing as a bogeyman.
