But no spending. 29 00:01:26,990 --> 00:01:30,910 Not yet. Not until we know it's safe. And in the meantime, we bury it. 30 00:01:31,170 --> 00:01:34,430 Where? In the open. The man's right.

Meaning that if we 504 00:25:40,790 --> 00:25:42,430 recover the money, we'll remove the incentive. 505 00:25:43,030 --> 00:25:44,050 Restore the status quo? 506 00:25:45,590 --> 00:25:48,210 Bill, there's a killer loose out there.

For killer, read 509 00:25:52,530 --> 00:25:55,070 shark. For money, read bait. No bait, no catch. 510 00:25:55,670 --> 00:25:57,430 But you're putting people's lives at risk. 511 00:25:58,050 --> 00:26:00,550 It's their choice. All they've got to do is pick up a phone. 512 00:26:01,379 --> 00:26:02,379 You're not serious. 513 00:26:02,540 --> 00:26:05,060 I'm saying they could.

I 754 00:40:50,860 --> 00:40:54,160 imagine it would require something like a large suitcase or a tea chest. 755 00:40:54,460 --> 00:40:55,460 Or a coffin. 756 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,120 I consider that the reference to a funeral is not without significance. 757 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,220 All right. Check it out. 758 00:41:25,069 --> 00:41:26,069 Morning. Morning. 759 00:41:27,350 --> 00:41:31,390 Now, most of you have been drafted in from outside Seven Dials, but I trust 760 00:41:31,390 --> 00:41:34,690 after you've had a good look at this blackboard diagram, you'll be more or 761 00:41:34,690 --> 00:41:36,430 familiar with the location you'll be working in, yeah? 762 00:41:36,790 --> 00:41:38,270 Mrs Forbes is going to conduct the briefing. 763 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,860 Our general consensus... Accompanied by major catastrophes. 764 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,000 Followed closely by corporal punishment. 765 00:41:46,780 --> 00:41:52,700 Two members of a local firm, Coverdale, otherwise known as Fat Henry and Bernard 766 00:41:52,700 --> 00:41:56,860 Downes, known as Chloroform, are present in this flat. 767 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:02,200 It is occupied by the widow of one of the murder victims, Dudley Fairbrother. 768 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,140 Now, we're convinced they're in possession of a large amount of 769 00:42:06,140 --> 00:42:09,890 money. Information suggests that it could be several million pounds. 770 00:42:11,010 --> 00:42:13,670 Now, indications are that they're likely to make a move today. 771 00:42:14,070 --> 00:42:17,310 But don't run away with the idea that this operation is simple because it's 772 00:42:17,530 --> 00:42:21,410 It is complicated by the presence of this man, Simeon Platt. 773 00:42:22,370 --> 00:42:25,870 Now, we believe that he has been employed to recover that money. 774 00:42:27,030 --> 00:42:30,510 Simeon Platt is not one of your common or garden thugs. He received specialist 775 00:42:30,510 --> 00:42:31,530 training in the army. 776 00:42:32,130 --> 00:42:35,990 Now, he is probably armed. He is positively dangerous. Approach with 777 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:37,780 He has killed twice. 778 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,820 He'll be more than prepared to kill again. 779 00:42:41,460 --> 00:42:44,940 He has been positively identified, but in all probability he will have changed 780 00:42:44,940 --> 00:42:45,960 his appearance by now. 781 00:42:46,740 --> 00:42:47,740 Study the features. 782 00:42:48,300 --> 00:42:51,780 Stay alert and keep a sharp eye out for anything unusual. 783 00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:55,920 Right, and it's all down to us. 784 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,760 Now, you think a move is justified, make it positive. 785 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,880 Firearms will be issued, but let me make this clear, they'll only be used in 786 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:03,880 extreme circumstances. 787 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,120 This is not New York. 788 00:43:05,530 --> 00:43:07,110 There'll be no shootout on my patch, understood? 789 00:43:07,490 --> 00:43:08,590 Yes, sir. Right, away you go. 790 00:43:13,210 --> 00:43:14,210 Right, 791 00:43:17,790 --> 00:43:20,070 I've found my bank. Nice man, Mr Hodge. Very good. 792 00:43:20,550 --> 00:43:23,970 Well, what he did was to measure, this is a proximate, of course, a stack of 1 793 00:43:23,970 --> 00:43:27,890 ,000 ten -pound notes. It came out at five inches. Now, I've computed that a 794 00:43:27,890 --> 00:43:32,030 million notes would occupy a space roughly five feet long, 17 inches wide 795 00:43:32,030 --> 00:43:33,030 inches in depth. 796 00:43:33,110 --> 00:43:36,330 Now... To get back to my copying theory. You may not go along with it, but I 797 00:43:36,330 --> 00:43:38,550 assure you it does hold water. So does a bathtub. 798 00:43:39,050 --> 00:43:40,530 Working on a plumber theory, Garvoyer. 799 00:43:41,450 --> 00:43:42,450 Shall we go? 800 00:44:06,049 --> 00:44:07,330 Anything happening? Not a lot. 801 00:44:07,790 --> 00:44:09,990 Can't wait to stick one of these on some unsuspecting motorist. 802 00:44:10,290 --> 00:44:11,049 Beers cup? 803 00:44:11,050 --> 00:44:12,050 My rear end. 804 00:44:12,490 --> 00:44:16,570 You know, you'd better do your duty. I suggest you read the highway code, 805 00:44:17,050 --> 00:44:19,310 Bearing in mind the regulations and the penalties imposed. You missed your 806 00:44:19,310 --> 00:44:20,310 vocation. Yeah. 807 00:44:20,970 --> 00:44:21,970 Where will you be? 808 00:44:22,230 --> 00:44:23,350 I think I'll stay mobile. 809 00:44:24,010 --> 00:44:27,370 I've got a feeling, I don't know, I'll go round the block, I think. 810 00:44:37,109 --> 00:44:38,109 What do you reckon? 811 00:44:38,310 --> 00:44:39,310 Well, it'll do. 812 00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:40,990 Have to do, won't it? 813 00:44:41,430 --> 00:44:42,510 What if we get pulled? 814 00:44:43,170 --> 00:44:44,170 Well, deny everything. 815 00:44:44,770 --> 00:44:45,770 Good luck, Oscar. 816 00:44:46,370 --> 00:44:47,370 Yeah, you too. See you. 817 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:12,980 Don't they think they're kidding? 818 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:15,120 Follow that cat. 819 00:45:31,500 --> 00:45:32,880 All three of them just made off. 820 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:34,540 Phillips is telling them. He's got a radio. 821 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,240 All over by the shouting, then. 822 00:46:01,130 --> 00:46:03,190 Who's that bloody Wally? Where'd he appear from? 823 00:46:03,630 --> 00:46:05,390 Unless I'm very much mistaken, Gal. 824 00:46:05,730 --> 00:46:06,569 That's him. 825 00:46:06,570 --> 00:46:07,570 That's Flat. 826 00:46:19,570 --> 00:46:20,570 You a leg man? 827 00:46:20,590 --> 00:46:21,770 What?

The one with the pram is Mrs Fairbrother. You should go 830 00:46:26,630 --> 00:46:27,630 the car. 831 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:32,440 And I got a book. 832 00:46:35,980 --> 00:46:38,380 Can you manage that?

While the real villains, the fat money men who organise 847 00:48:36,010 --> 00:48:39,730 this whole fiasco, the men who prepare to finance the printing and the 848 00:48:39,730 --> 00:48:44,510 distribution, the men who employ him to look after their interests, they'll 849 00:48:44,510 --> 00:48:47,130 still be sitting in their penthouses and their yacht. 850 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,760 Sipping their champagne and cooking up a new deal and laughing up their several 851 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:51,760 rose leaves. 852 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,220 Four men are dead, and who gets brought to account? 853 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:55,960 They do. 854 00:48:56,240 --> 00:48:58,520 It's called rough justice.
