Excuse me.

[ Sighs ]

[ Whistle blows ]

[ Clicking tongue ]

Cor!
[ Whistles ]

Cor blimey!

What is the matter with you?

Sexual depravity, loose morals,
fornication.

Country´s going to the dogs.

What do you think about
becoming a Jehovah´s Witness?

Any good?

Not really.
It´s a bit pretentious.

Well, that´s the French
for you.

Wouldn´t catch me
reading a French book.

Just as well,
now you´re a Jehovah´s Witness.

[ Music continues ]

5:22.

That´s the train
I get home tonight.

Same carriage.
Name´s Ron.

Don´t be late.

Excuse me.

[ Reinhardt´s "Nuages" plays ]

[ Telephone rings ]

Miss Powell, I wonder if you
could work late tonight,

just till 5:00?

We need to process these orders
before the markets open,

and I need this done
by somebody I can trust.

Yes, Mr. Kerslake, I´ll do it.

I´ll stay and help
if you like.

No, that´s okay, Gordon.
I can manage.

[ Music continues ]

-I´ll take that for you.
-Cheers, mate.

[ Indistinct talking ]

BOB: You´re a bloody shower,
you are, Biggsy.

What do you lug everything
´round in that briefcase for?

Never show your hand.
Not unless you have to.

Flash Harry,
that´s all you are.

[ Polish accent ] What is
"hand show"?

Well, say if I was
to bump into a bird, Henry,

when I´m on my way to work
or something.

Now, I don´t want her knowing
that I´m a tradesman, do I?

This is logic.

How many birds do you want,
Biggsy?

You´ve always got
half a dozen on the go as it is.

Half a dozen and one.
That´s how many I want.

[ Clicks tongue ]

[ Jones/Kahn´s
"It Had to be You" plays ]

Thank you, Miss...

[ Music continues ]

Excuse me.
Ooh!

[ Breathing heavily ]

Wait.

Please.
Thank you.

-[ Thud ]
-Oh!

[ Whistle blows ]

[ Sighs ]

Didn´t want to miss me, then?

I saw you running.

I thought to myself,
"She´s keen."

I always get this train home.

-Where are you getting out?
-Uh, Reigate.

Ooh, there´s a bit of luck.
Me too.

Shall we go for a coffee?

[ Carmichael´s "Stardust"
plays ]

We´d better
say good night here.

My dad can be a bit funny

about me having friends
up at the house.

Good night.

Good night.

Here, I didn´t even
get a kiss goodbye!

Will I still see you on Friday?

Don´t forget, now.

[ Music continues ]

[ Children speaking
indistinctly ]

-Hi, Mum.
-You´d better go in there.

[ Clock ticking ]

You´re nearly an hour late.

Where were you?

I went for a coffee in Reigate,
sir, with a friend.

Which friend?

Someone I know
from the train.

A girl.

You told me to go out and get
a job and pay my way, and I did.

Surely I´m allowed
a social life, sir.

Are you wearing makeup?

-A little bit.
-I don´t know why.

I´ve told you before,

you can´t make a silk purse
out of a sow´s ear.

GILLIAN: Dad is
absolutely furious with you.

He says you´re
concealing something from him.

Are you?
Concealing anything?

Yes.

A man.

I´m going to see a man
on Friday.

A tall man who makes me laugh.

And he´s got broad shoulders
and the most lovely blue eyes.

And he´s going to kiss me
and hold me in his arms.

What are you
really going to do on Friday?

BRUCE:
The salesman clearly thinks

I´m some sort of oik, right?

So he says, "All right, if I let
you sit in the car, sonny,

will you sling your hook?´

And I said, "If I buy it,
will you sling yours?"

[ Laughter ]

He bought the bloody thing
just to show him up!

BRUCE:
It´s a nice motor.

Tell them about the Astor Club,
Bruce.

All I shall say is it involved
a knight of the realm,

a beautiful young lady,

and beyond that
my lips are sealed.

-[ Indistinct talking ]
-Ohh! Now, you can´t...

Hey, you can´t dangle a carrot
like that.

MIKE:
Biggsy. Biggsy. Biggsy.

Are you gonna introduce us?

[ Clears throat ]

Gents, this is Charmian.

My round.
Same again, everyone?

-What about you, Charm?
-I don´t really drink much.

Get her a Whiskey Mac.

Righto.

Bruce.
Pleased to meet you.

-MIKE: Bloody hell, Biggsy.
-What?

Well, she´s not
like your usual sort.

RON: Oh, she´s a bit of class,
Michael. That´s what she is.

I´m going up in the world.

-You toff.
-[ Laughs ]

So where´s Ronnie
taking you tonight?

Just out for a drink.

Don´t think he´s got
anywhere special planned.

Well, in that case, you must go
and listen to some jazz.

Lionel Hampton
is playing tonight.

My treat.

[ Basie´s "Jive at Five" plays ]

[ Both laughing ]

I think there´s more to you than
meets the eye, Ronald Biggs.

What do you mean?

Well, for starters, your friend
with the glasses, he´s a...

Well, there´s something a bit
not right about him.

[ Laughing ] Not right?

I think he might be
up to no good.

What about me?

I don´t know.
Probably.

You´re not the type of fella

my dad would like me to meet,
I know that.

[ Chuckles ]

That´s not necessarily
a bad thing, by the way.

You can tell me anything,
you know?

I won´t be shocked.

Have you got a girlfriend?

Ohhh.

-No.
-Mm.

But, uh...

I have been in trouble.

I´ve been to prison
a couple of times.

That´s where I met Bruce.
You´re right about that.

-And what about now?
-I´m...

...a humble carpenter.

Not a very good proposition,
am I?

What was that for?

Because you told the truth.

Do you want to
see inside my dad´s school?

He´s headmaster here.

Come on.

[ Giggles ]

I was all set
to go to university,

but I failed my Latin exam
by two marks,

so I missed out
on a scholarship.

My dad said that he wouldn´t
support me anymore

and I had to get a job.

You didn´t
have to get me drunk tonight.

I´d have let you, you know,

even if I was still sober.

Jesus, I don´t think
I´ve ever met anyone like you.

Does that mean you like me?
Because I really like you, Ron.

Come here.

[ Carmichael/Washington´s
"The Nearness of You" plays ]

Oh, there you go.

♫ Why do I just wither ♫

♫ And forget all resistance ♫

♫ When you and your magic
pass by? ♫

Is Mr. Powell at home?

Ronald Arthur Biggs

has a list of petty crimes
to his name as long as your arm.

In and out of prison.

And this is the type
you´ve been associating with

for the past two months!

He told me all about his past.
But he´s decent now, sir.

Hah! He wouldn´t know
the meaning of the word.

Dishonorably discharged
from the Royal Air Force?

That´s how decent he is.

He works for a living.
He´s a carpenter.

A carpenter?
A common laborer.

He´s a tradesman.
He´s very skilled.

He´s a jailbird.
A bad sort!

As the constable said, a leopard
never changes its spots.

Well, I like him
and he likes me.

Oh.

-Does he?
-Bernard...

If he likes you so much,

why is he living
with another woman?

I don´t believe it.

A Mrs. Ivy Peters,
from Merstham.

He´s been cohabiting with her
for the last 18 months,

ever since he got out
of his last spell in prison.

You´re lying.

Tell me he´s lying, Mum.

It´s all here.
Dates and details.

She found out he was seeing you
and informed the police.

And they very kindly thought
a man in my position

might like to know
the type of person

his daughter
was consorting with!

[ Sobs ]

MURIEL: You can´t
see him anymore, Charm.

Not now you know
what he´s really like.

People around here
look up to me.

I can´t have them sniggering
and pointing behind my back.

But I love him.

Don´t speak like that
in front of your father.

[ Man speaking indistinctly
on P.A. ]

What do you think
you´re doing?!

If you are not home
this evening, my girl,

you will never be welcome
in this...

Never be welcome
in this house again.

Do you understand me?!

I wouldn´t spend another minute
under that roof anyway with you.

Look, I have your best interests
at heart.

This Peters woman
informed the police that Biggs

had a venereal disease.

Is that what you want?
Children born with deformities?

Congenital idiots?!

No! Get off!

How dare you?!

Charmian!

Charmian? Charmian!

He´s a degenerate!

What will become of you?!

I got Mum
to pack an extra one.

Fancy going to the park
for lunch?

No, Gordon.

Hey, come on. I´ll buy you
an ice cream in Lyons.

They´ve got a new flavor.
Black cherry.

No, Gordon, I don´t want to.

Suit yourself.

[ Telephone rings ]

Hello?!

The clap?
Is that what Ivy´s been saying?

-[ Laughing ]
-Shh.

Don´t believe a word of it,
Charm.

You know, it´s just spite
´cause I told her about you.

Look, it´s true,
I am living with her,

but I didn´t lie to you.

She´s not my girlfriend.

I only live with her
because I have to

under the terms of my probation.

My folks wouldn´t have
anything to do with me,

and she offered me a room
at her place.

She´s a friend of Bruce´s.

-Do you sleep with her?
-[ Sighs ]

I did, occasionally,
in lieu of the rent.

But I swear
she means nothing to me, Charm.

How can she mean nothing
if you´ve slept with her?

Well, with Ivy,
it´s just like...

...sinking into
a comfortable old armchair.

[ Chuckles ]

Come on, Charm.

I´m crazy about you.

Well, I can´t go home.

Not if I keep on seeing you.

I brought a bag of clothes
with me.

I had this daft idea we could
run away together and be free.

It´s a stupid idea.

I should just go home
and suffer the consequences.

No, let´s do it.
My mate´s got a car.

We could be hundreds of miles
away by tonight.

Do you really mean it?

We´ve got no future with you
living at home, have we?

We could sleep together
in the same bed.

Except we won´t be doing
much sleeping.

Ron, do you love me?
´Cause I love you.

Look, come on, now.
Don´t go all sentimental on me.

We´ve got problems.

-What?
-Money.

I haven´t got any. I don´t
suppose you have, either.

Got to have
something to live on, Charm.

Can´t be all thin air
and lovemaking.

This place you work at.

-It´s a bullion dealers, right?
-Yes.

They got to have plenty of cash
lying about, haven´t they?

Ron.

No, I couldn´t possibly.
They´ve been so good to me.

-Look, don´t be naive.
-No, Ron, please.

Listen, if you want to
be with me,

you can´t act like
some frightened little girl.

Now, if you can´t do
this thing for us,

you may as well
go back home tonight

and we accept it´s over.

Put that in the safe, please,
Miss Powell.

Yes, Mr. Kerslake.

Okay, what´s going on?

Why are you acting so weird?

What are you doing?

Charmian?

I´m going away, Gordon.

Whether you tell Mr. Kerslake
about this or not,

it won´t make any difference.

Gordon, I´m sorry
if this hurts you,

but I´ve found somebody.

Where are you going?

Away from this place.
From everything.

It´s what I want, Gordon --
to be free.

I´m sorry.

Well, you´d better
get on with it.

Kerslake won´t be down
for another 10 minutes.

Goodbye, Gordon.

I won´t forget you, Charmian.

[ Jobim´s "Wave" plays ]

Ah!
[ Chuckles ]

More? Hoo hoo!
Good girl!

Bloody hell,
we´re rolling in it!

That´s, uh, 228 pounds,

10 shillings.

Here, that should keep us going
for a bit.

-Hoo hoo!
-[ Honks horn ]

Shut up, Mike!
You want Old Bill to hear us?

Come on.
Let´s get moving.

What´s gonna happen
when they find out it´s missing?

[ Engine starts ]

You can´t worry about that,
Charm.

You´ve got to look forward.

The future´s
full of possibilities.

The past
will only drag you down.

-CHARMIAN: [ Laughing ]
-Get under.

Finally!

CHARMIAN: I got one.

It´s only rolled gold.

I thought if we were
going to rent somewhere,

it´d look better, that´s all.

-[ Honks horn ]
-Just a minute, Mike.

Here, give me your finger.

I now pronounce us man and wife.

Welcome to the family,
Mrs. Biggs.

Be-bop-a-bloody-lula!

[ Laughs ]

Go on.
In you get.

[ Gershwin/Gershwin´s
"Embraceable You" plays ]

GREAVES: How long will
you be staying, Dr. Marsh?

RON: Oh, a couple of weeks
at least.

GREAVES: Oh.

Oh, if you could just
sign there, please.

I´ve been suffering
from some ill health lately,

and we saw your ad
in the classifieds,

so I´ve come down here
to recuperate.

My wife loves it.

Don´t you, darling?

Yes. I used to come here
as a little girl.

Well, that´ll be 2 pounds,
12 shillings deposit, please.

Of course.

GREAVES: I´ll say good night,
then, Dr. Marsh.

RON:
Thank you, Mrs. Greaves.

GREAVES: And I´ll be
just down the hallway

if you need anything.

RON: All right.

[ Door closes ]

-[ Knock on window ]
-CHARMIAN: Mnh-mnh!

[ Both laugh ]

I´d better let him in.

Get off.

Bloody brass monkeys
out there!

Keep it down, will ya?

We don´t want old nose ointment
snooping around.

I parked the motor ´round
the corner, out of sight.

Got any beer?

Who´s on the settee?

[ Waves rushing,
seabirds crying ]

RON: She died when I was 14,
my mum did.

God bless her,
she was a good mum.

Then Dad married Mrs. Ellis,

and I was surplus
to requirements.

She had this son, Vic,
same age as me.

I never got a look-in.

Not that I want any sympathy.

"Get on with it" --
That´s my philosophy.

I don´t go for
all this "woe is me" business.

Well, I´ll love you, Ron.
You just leave it to me.

Doughnuts?

-Charm?
-Thank you.

Just been into town,
giving it the once-over.

Favorite is a little chemist´s
on this corner parade,

easy get in ´round the back.

Not even any bars on the window.

You´re not going to rob it,
are you?

What else do you think
we´re gonna do?

Buy some talcum powder?

-[ Laughs ]
-Ron.

It was one thing
taking that money from work.

I wasn´t expecting to go
on some sort of crime spree.

Come on, Charm. That 200´s
not gonna last forever, is it?

We can´t go back, can we?

I´ve broken my parole
and, well, you´re a fugitive.

BERNARD: 25,

26,

27,

28.

-[ Coins clink ]
-And 10 shillings.

I really ought to
go to the police.

I would be very, very grateful
if you didn´t, Mr. Kerslake.

The repercussions
would be severe.

I have the school to think of.

How is Charmian, sir?

RON:
So, what are we talking about?

MIKE: Perfume, cameras, films,
lipsticks, nail varnish.

My man in London´ll
take anything like that.

RON:
Okay, we do this tonight,

then we move on
to the next town.

MIKE:
But her ladyship?

You ask me,

first time Old Bill
comes anywhere near her,

she´ll start flapping her gums.

I don´t trust her.

Haven´t you
filled your boots yet, Biggsy?

Can´t you just weigh her out?

Toffee-nosed little madam
she is.

-MIKE: Aah!
-RON: Hey!

-MIKE: Hey! Hey! Hey!
-RON: Stop! Stop!

-MIKE: Hey!
-RON: Stop!

Calm down!
Leave him alone!

Don´t you ever do
anything like that again.

Mike´s my friend.

I won´t have you behaving
like a prima donna.

[ Door closes ]

She´s bad news, Biggsy.

She stays.
We´re a pair.

Get that
into your thick skull.

[ Indistinct conversation
through wall ]

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Seabird crying ]

[ Knocking on door ]

GREAVES: Dr. Marsh?

[ Knock on door ]

Hello?

Oh. Dr. Marsh.

There´s a policeman.
Wants to talk to you.

RON: A policeman?

Of course.
Let me just get my jacket.

[ Door closes ]

[ Door opens ]

[ Footsteps ]

[ Door closes ]

-Dr. Marsh?
-Yes?

I´m making some inquiries
about a robbery

at a chemist´s last night.

Why would I know
anything about it?

A car that we have linked
to the robbery

was seen parked in this vicinity
a couple of days ago.

I understand that you´re a
temporary resident in this area.

Yes, I´m taking a short break
here with my wife.

Could I take down
some details, sir?

-Purely routine.
-Well, if you must.

-Home address?
-27 Amber Road, London SW15.

And the name of a reference
at your practice?

Really?
Look, Dr. Lewis is my partner.

He can be reached
on Putney 4501.

Now, if you´ve finished,
I find all this quite insulting.

-I´m here to recuperate.
-It´s just procedure, sir.

[ Door opens ]

-We´re gonna do a runner.
-What´s happened?

I´ve just fed the Old Bill
a load of cock and bull.

I reckon we´ve got about
half an hour

before he finds out
none of it stands up

and they come after us.

Get dressed.

Come on, love.
Come on, I´ve got you.

Oh!

-You okay?
-Yeah.

-Where are you going?
-To get the motor.

No, they´ll be looking for it.

This way.
Come on.

[ Indistinct talking ]

MIKE: Sod this
for a game of soldiers.

First town we hit,
I´m nicking a car.

Great. We can add that
to our list of crimes.

What do you want to do,
walk back to London?

-[ Dogs barking ]
-Shh!

Just don´t see why we keep
digging a bigger hole.

Shh!

MAN: Got a scent!
On it!

-[ Barking ]
-Yeah, we got a scent!

Bugger it.

Come on, let´s get moving.

Charm, are you up for this?

Come on.

[ Men shouting indistinctly ]

Go on, boy!

Sniff them out!

Go on, go on!

RON:
Keep going, Charm!

Go! Go!

MAN:
Follow it down to the ridge!

Oh!

[ Barking ]

Come on, Charm!

I can´t go on any further.
You go on with Mike.

Come on, Biggsy,
they´re gaining on us.

No, you go.
We´ll take our chances.

Well, you can have that.

-Right, come this way.
-Okay. Ah!

-[ Barking ]
-MAN: This way, Peter!

The dogs can´t
follow us through water.

-[ Dogs barking ]
-[ Men shouting indistinctly ]

Hide here.
They can´t see us from up there.

Shh.

Shh.

This way! Where is he?
Where´s he gone to?

They´re down here!
Down in the stream!

[ Barking continues ]

I´ll stay high!

Spread out now!

They´ve gone down.

We´re gonna freeze to death,
Charm.

All right, we´re down here!

Just keep the dogs away from us.
Someone get a blanket for her.

Come here.
Come on, come on.

[ Grunts ]
Come here, come here, come here.

Come here.
Come here, come here.

It´s all right.
It´s all right.

Name and number?
Prisoner 391, Powell, ma´am.

Get undressed.

Knickers too.

Come on.

Your fanny´s
not your own in here, girlie.

MAN: Tell me about
the chemist´s shop.

Stand guard outside for them,
did you?

That´s conspiracy to rob.

Lover boy´s going away
for a long time.

You can be sure of that.

And to a long list of offenses,
we can now add abduction.

What do you mean?

You´re not 21.

We´ve spoken to your father.

He´s confirmed
he did not give his permission

for you to be with him.

So that all adds up
to abduction.

Ron did not abduct me.

I persuaded him
to come with me,

and he had nothing to do
with that money I took.

What money?

Nothing.
I´m confused.

It doesn´t pay
to mess me about!

I can find a cell
in this place,

throw you in there,
and leave you to rot!

You can cry and scream
all you like!

Nobody´ll hear you!

You don´t want to be in here.

Nice girl like you?

You want to be back home with
your mum and dad, don´t you?

Then all you´ve got to do
is help me with a few questions,

and I can arrange that.

I don´t know
what you´re talking about.

Ron didn´t break in anywhere.
I was with him the whole time.

[ McHugh/Fields´
"Don´t Blame Me" plays ]

Will you wait for me?

Forever.

Will the defendants
please rise.

Ronald Biggs, you have been
found guilty of these offenses,

and it is now my duty
to pass sentence.

Taking account of the breach

of your
original probation order,

you will go to prison
for two and a half years.

Thank you for
paying back the money I took.

I´ll repay you
as soon as I can, sir.

CHAIRMAN OF MAGISTRATES:
Charmian Powell,

these are the first offenses

for which you´ve been
brought before a court.

Bearing this in mind,

I make you the subject of a
probation order for two years.

The terms of your order

shall require that you reside
at the family home.

It is my sincere hope

that we never see you
before a court again.

It´s just
a stock-records clerk,

but they seem
nice enough people.

And it´s in Redhill,

so I won´t have to pay the fares
into London.

I´m trying to save as much money
as I can for when you come out.

I´ve got an old boy on my wing
to agree to take letters for me

in exchange
for a couple of snout.

He´s not going to read them,
is he?

The screws read them anyway.

Yes, but it´s personal.

[ Laughs ]
I´ll make sure he doesn´t.

Here, we don´t want him
having a heart attack, do we?

Speaking of which...

-Oh, Ron, do I have to?
-You bet.

That´ll have to do you.

It´s torture, Charm,
having you so close,

not being able
to do anything about it.

[ Bell rings ]

-Oh, that´s it?
-MAN: All right, time´s up.

A week´s wages to get here,
all for half an hour?

I suppose you´re worth it.

You´ll never know
how much it means to me

to have you come and visit me,
know you´re waiting for me.

No one´s ever
done that for me before.

I love you, Charm.

Now, don´t go all sentimental
on me.

[ Chuckles ]

Better go put some clothes on
before I freeze to death.

See you next month.

Bye, love.

[ Indistinct arguing
through wall ]

[ Door opens ]

Gillian,
back upstairs with the boys.

Why can´t I stay down here?
I´m not a kid.

Just go away, will you?
You´re so annoying.

Muriel, would you tell
the jailbird

that I will not give her
my permission

to marry the criminal?

Over my dead body.

You´re going to have to wait
till you´re 21, Charm.

I thought he might say that.

So you´d better tell him
I´m pregnant.

What?!

Tell him if he doesn´t sign
that form,

I will challenge him
in the courts.

And then
two things will happen.

First, when the woman
is pregnant

and the man
is willing to marry her,

the judge will always
come down on their side.

And second, it´ll be all over
the local papers again.

Does he really want that?

Take it out to him, Mum.
He´ll sign it.

I don´t know what the world
is coming to.

I really don´t.

[ Door opens ]

Bloody hell.
I´m glad I´m on your side.

[ Both laugh ]

I promise you,

from now on
I´m on the straight and narrow.

I´m never going back inside,
Charm.

If you do, there can´t be
any future between us.

I won´t spend my whole life
waiting for you.

-Had any winners lately?
-You´re joking, aren´t you?

The ones I back are only good
for the glue factory.

[ Laughs ]

Ohh.

I take my hat off to you, Ron.
You´re doing a grand job.

Only been going
for a couple of months,

but haven´t had
too many complaints so far.

Not my game, this sort of thing.

40 years on the trains I was.

Drove ´em from one end
of the country to the other.

Couldn´t so much
as put a shelf up.

Ron, it´s the hospital!

Your wife´s gone in
to have the baby.

No panic.
We had a false alarm last week.

Phantom contractions.

Plenty of time
to finish off here.

She said you´d say
something like that,

and she said to say --
excuse my French --

"Bloody well
get your ass up here!"

You´d best get up there, mate.

Yeah.
Wish me luck.

[ Baby cooing ]

[ Sniffles ]

Aren´t you going to say hello?

It´s your own flesh and blood.

Someone who needs you.

[ Crying ]

That´s all you ever needed, Ron.
A family.

-Hello, mate.
-[ Laughs ]

[ Doorbell rings ]

Mum.

I´m sorry it´s taken so long.

But we´ve come to see the baby.

And Dad doesn´t know about it.
[ Laughs ]

-RON: Here he is.
-MURIEL: [ Gasps ]

His name´s Handsome Harry.

[ Laughs ]

There you go.
Ohh!

His name´s Nicholas.

These are lovely, Mum.

GILLIAN: Dad caught her knitting
one night,

and he was furious with her.

How is old Bernard, Moo?

Oh, he´s all right, I suppose.

He´s spending a lot more time
at the church these days.

He took me to Billy Graham
the other week.

Oh!
And were you saved?

Very good of him to come over
from America, Mr. Graham,

just to save "our souls."
[arseholes]

GILLIAN:
[ Snorts, laughs ]

[ Laughter ]

Come on, Gillian,
let´s give Nickpops a bath.

There´s a good boy.
Look at you.

He loves bath time, don´t you?

Well, I must say,

Ron´s proved your father wrong.

He had him down as a waster.

And a thief.

He looks after me, Mum.
He´s truly a different person.

He´s got weeks and weeks of work
booked up

and he´s always
buying the baby things.

In fact, he´s made
such a good job of being a dad

that I´ve decided to
give him another go.

[ Laughs ]

Oh, I´m -- I´m pleased
for you, Charm.

Really, I am.

Do you think
Dad´ll come ´round one day,

to see his grandsons?

I wouldn´t
build your hopes up, love.

He´s a very stubborn man.

Like his daughter.

Mm.

Bye-bye, Sherby Dabs.
Mwah!

What´s up?

It´s from the landlords.

They want to sell the house.

Asking price -- £4,000.

They say we´ve got
first refusal,

but we need to find
a deposit of £400.

I can´t lay my hands on it,
love, not right now.

I would if people
paid their bills on time,

but every penny we got´s
tied up in the business.

But this is our home.

I love this house -- all the
work we´ve done getting it nice.

I can´t face uprooting, Ron,

not with another baby
on the way.

Hey, hey, it´s okay.
Don´t worry.

I´ll get the money somehow.

Hey.
Shh, shh, shh.

Don´t cry.

Shh.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Bruce.

Ronnie!

Over here, mate.
I won´t be a minute.

-And where does that bit go?
-[ Baby cooing ]

Mummy does it a lot better.

RON: [ Laughs ]

It´s a gruesome business.

Managed to divest him
of the offending article,

but installing him in a new one

is proving trickier
than anticipated.

[ Laughs ]

I don´t know.
Where did it all go wrong?

[ Baby crying ]

That´s it.

So how long´s it been?
A couple of years?

Well, it´s four, I think.

Well, I´m pleased
things worked out

with you and Charmian.

How´s the building trade?

Yeah, well, um, look, I´ll be
straight with you, Bruce.

I need to borrow some money.

It´s for
the deposit on our house.

I couldn´t think
who else to turn to.

How much do you need?

400 quid.

I´m sorry, Ron.
I can´t give it to you.

-Well, fair enough.
-No.

I can´t give it to you
because I haven´t got it.

All my money´s tied up
in a job I´m planning.

What I can give you
is a place on that job.

It´s a big one, Ron.

I daresay we could use
an extra pair of hands.

If I ask the others,
I´m sure they´ll cut you in.

No.

No, I appreciate it, Bruce, but
I´ve put all that behind me now.

[ Door opens ]

-[ Baby crying ]
-Bruce, can you take him?

BRUCE:
Is he ready for his bottle now?

Are you hungry?
It´s okay.

[ Vehicle approaches ]

[ Vehicle door closes ]

[ Baby crying ]

Vvvvvvvv!

-There you go.
-[ Laughs ]

Will you pick that baby up?!

Can see
I´m up to my elbows in here!

All right, all right!

Shh.

What´s got into Mummy today?

Every day I think the bailiffs

are gonna turn up
and throw us out.

They won´t. And even if they do,
we´ll find somewhere else.

I don´t want to live
anywhere else!

Had a look
at some places yesterday.

All you can get
for what we can afford

is rising damp
and an outside toilet.

I want my own house.

Look, I´ve tried to get the
money, Charm, honest I have.

Something´ll come up, love.

-Shh.
-[ Baby cries ]

[ Doorbell rings ]

Charmian.

Hello, Bruce.

This is my wife, Frances.

Hello.

And this is happy chap
is our little Nicky.

-[ Crying ]
-CHARMIAN: Ohh!

-BRUCE: Go on, fella.
-Come in.

Can´t you be
a bit more welcoming?

I´m being polite, aren´t I?

It´s just a social visit.

I told you, all that stuff
with Bruce is behind me now.

He just said we should
see more of each other

now we´re both fathers.

Hey? Hmm?

Stop.

-Here you go.
-Oh, about time.

-Grab those, mate.
-Thank you very much.

You know, I could almost
go for this, mate.

You´ve got yourself
a nice, steady life here,

drowning in domestic bliss.

Oh, yeah.

Wouldn´t mind the pad in London,
the champagne, the flash motor.

You know me, Ronnie.
I have expensive tastes.

Ron, you have a visitor.

Peter!
How are you, mate?

Sit down.
Have a beer.

I won´t, thanks, Ron.
I can see you´ve got company.

I just popped by
to give little Nicky this.

It´s a replica of the first one
I ever drove.

Nick, come and see
what Uncle Peter´s got for you.

-Here you are, mate.
-What do you say?

-A new train.
-Thank you!

You´re very welcome.

Aren´t you gonna introduce us?

Sorry, uh, this is Peter.
I did some work for him.

Peter, this is Bruce,
a friend of mine.

Nice to meet you, Peter.

-So you´re retired?
-Yeah.

-What routes did you used to do?
-I did the express trains, me.

All over the country.
Loved it.

Fascinating.

It´s a particular interest
of mine, the railways.

Don´t get me started on that.

I could talk about that
all night, couldn´t I, Ron?

Oh, you certainly could, mate.

Anyway, I won´t keep you.

Well, thanks very much, Peter.

Here, we´ll try and go
for a pint next week.

-If you´re buying.
-[ Laughs ]

You know that job
I was telling you about?

We need a train driver.
Badly.

If you could turn him,
I´d make it worth your while.

I don´t know, Bruce.
Like I said, I´m out of it now.

And I´ve promised Charmian.

How much?

40 grand.
Each.

40 grand?!

Like I said, it´s a big job.

He´ll have to be able to drive
an English Electric Type 3000.

I´m pretty sure he said
he´s driven them all.

Is he bona?

He knows I´ve been inside.
We got talking about it one day.

If he does come in,
he stays in.

No backing out.
He´d know too much.

And some of
the other gentlemen involved

wouldn´t take too kindly.

-Yeah.
-Same goes for you, Ron.

Lunch is ready.

RON: Righto.

[ Hammering ]

There you are, mate.

Cheers.

What is it, lad?

You´re a bag of nerves tonight.
Look at you.

Suppose it´s the house.

We´re being kicked out
if I can´t find this deposit.

I don´t know, I just feel as if
I´d let Charm and the boys down.

You can only do your best.

Anything else you got to leave
to divine intervention.

What would you
be prepared to do, Peter,

to get the money you needed
to dig yourself out of a hole?

Depends how much money I needed
and what I had to do to get it.

What about...

...if it was 40 grand on offer?

I´d be prepared to do
quite a lot for that.

Even if it was wrong,
this thing you had to do?

I´ve worked all my life, Ron.

Paid all me taxes,
brought me kids up,

buried me mum and dad.

What did I get
at the end of it?

Gold watch
and a 15-bob-a-week pension.

If I had the chance to get
my hands on that sort of dough,

I´d think about it
very hard, mate.

Very hard indeed.

CHARMIAN: You´ll be away
for your birthday.

We haven´t spent a night apart
since you got out of prison.

Well, it´s only for a week,

We can celebrate
when I get back.

I have no way of reaching you
in Wiltshire.

And you don´t know the first
thing about tree felling.

What if you get hurt?

Be a nice few quid
towards the deposit.

That house will be sold
from under our feet

before we get
that deposit together.

Had a good enough look?

-They were right in front of me!
-I´m just teasing you.

You don´t have to look.

You don´t have to give in
to temptation every time, Ron.

Gonna get a paper.

-Got one this morning.
-Afternoon paper.

[ Indistinct talking, laughter ]

-RON: Oh!
-Want your lolly? Look.

I´ve won!

Charm!
Charm, I´ve won!

Look!

-I´ve won!
-Won what?

I had a little bet earlier.
A double!

You did what?
We´ve got no money!

Hold on, hold on.

The first horse came in
at 5 to 1.

It all went on Dameon
in the 2:20,

and he came in at 10 to 1!

-I´ve won!
-How much?

500 quid.
I´ve won 500 bloody quid!

That´s enough
for the deposit on the house!

Oh, thank you, Lord!

Now you won´t need to go
to Wiltshire.

Oh, no, I can´t pull out now.

Don´t be silly. Just tell them
you can´t make it.

No, no, I can´t do that, love.

You know, I´ve given them
my word, haven´t I?

Come on, here. Let´s go
and find a pub and celebrate.

Here, I tell you what --

Why don´t you go out next week
and get yourself

a new washing machine on tick.

-What´s the one you want?
-Bendix. Automatic.

Go out and buy one, love.
We can afford it.

I can´t believe it!

Here.

BRUCE: The train leaves Glasgow
at 6:50.

When it stops at Carlisle,

our man will be there
to give it the once-over.

We then call him from
a phone box just up the road,

and he tells us if the load´s
big enough for the hit.

The bridge
is only 30 minutes away,

and we´re nicely out of the way,
tucked back off the main road.

-How´s Dad?
-I´m having a smashing time.

It´s lovely out here
in the country.

[ Laughing ] Right.

On the way there,
we wear army fatigues on top,

so if we´re stopped we say
we´re an army unit on exercise.

Trackside, we strip down
to the boiler suits

and we look like workmen.

And this, gentlemen, is home
for the next couple of days.

-PETER: Looks nice.
-I wouldn´t get too attached.

It´ll be burned to the ground
when we leave.

-Charlie.
-Bruce.

Gordon.
"Ugly" to his mates.

-Buster wants you.
-I´ll have mine rare, Bob.

-BUSTER: Ah, Bruce.
-Buster, you know Ron.

And this is his friend Peter,
our train driver.

Nice to meet you, Pop.

Bruce, can I have a word,
please?

It all looks very organized,
Ron.

Not leaving anything to chance,
are they?

[ Motorcycle approaching ]

No go.

Our man says it ain´t
carrying enough tonight.

BRUCE: It´s okay.
We knew we might have to wait.

Tomorrow it is, then.

Come on, out you go.

Wait there, please.

[ Telephone rings ]

Nicky, play with your brother.

Hello?

Jack´s wife?

Winnie. Yes, sorry.
Of course I remember.

How are you both?

Oh, dear.

I´m so sorry.

GOODY: It´s on.
We go tonight.

Our man says it´s taken on

a load
of extra mailbags at Carlisle.

It´s a few hours yet till the
train reaches Sears Crossing.

-Don´t leave anything to chance.
-Righto, Bruce.

No knives, no guns.

Good luck, boys.

Let´s go, mate.

Come on, then!

CHARMIAN:
Yes, Ronald Biggs is his name.

His brother Jack has died.

I´m trying to reach him
to let him know.

Yes, that´s right.
He´s on a tree-felling job.

I don´t have an exact address.
Just somewhere near Devizes.

Well, yeah, I rang
my local police.

They told me
to try Wiltshire constabulary.

Yes, okay.
Thank you.

Yes, I´ll let you know
if he calls.

Goodbye.
