I'm working.

Thought you had time off.

It's been changed.

Well, I might go on my own, then!

I wouldn't start

I'm putting in for a transfer.

We've only been here 6 months.

Why this time?

I don't like it here.

I don't like the people

All right, Constable. Amaze me.

If Keating came home last night,

Mind you, she says she never hears

He usually comes in between 4 or 5

I had a look in his room.

And she didn't hear that either?

Presumably whoever did it was

Not just the money, Constable.

Obviously, I had to tell you.

How nice to see you.

Mrs Massie is here about her son.

Oh, yes?

This is all very embarrassing.

Not for me.

I'm concerned that

Just one or two points, Mr Massie.

Please sit down.

I do use it. Not always.

On what, sir?

On how idle I'm feeling.

When we found your car,

Before Mr Massie answers

I've told you it's all right.

Presumably, the thief took it.

Of course. A briefcase

A very valuable commodity.

How many briefcases have you got?

One. How many do you think?

Oh, I dunno. Christmas presents,

I think that's all, gentlemen.

Just one more thing, Mr Massie.

What witness?

I don't want to get involved.

Don't be so prissy!

If you don't like my methods,

In the meantime, you buck your ideas

I've got to go.

I dunno. I'll speak to you later.

Hello!

You're up then. I thought

I was. They rang. They want me in.

Does that mean

I wouldn't bank on it.

Oh, David!

I know, but think of the overtime.

You do so much overtime.

We'll need it soon.

Would you pick up a prescription

Certainly, sarge.

What do you make of Webster?

He's an unhappy man.

I hear he's put in for a transfer.

He's only been here five minutes.

Family problems, is it?

When isn't it?

Right!

How's business?

Mr Massie was not at his flat last

Mind telling us where, Mr Massie?

I was with a girl.

Why didn't you tell us before?

Because...

Because it was

My mother doesn't approve.

Oh, your mother doesn't approve (?)

Oh, right.

I'm trying to tell the truth,

How long were you with this girl?

From 6:30 yesterday evening

The car was stolen from there.

I didn't want my mother to know

If I'd known the car had been in a

I wouldn't have tried it on.

Mr Massie was with the young lady

And she will corroborate all this?

We would prefer that

but, if necessary, yes, of course.

Look, about what I said earlier.

That's all right, guv.

I hear you got some problems.

If there's anything

Shall I pick her up now?

No, wait until she gets inside.

We might get a cup of tea

How do you mean,

Come on, son. It's obvious you're

Why else would you ask for a

Who told you that? I just heard.

That should be confidential.

You know what it's like in the nick.

But it's personal.

All right?

All right, son. Fair enough.

Not another word.

Last night? That was my night off.

He came round and we stayed in.

All night?

All night.

What time did he arrive?

About half past six.

He was going to go home about 11:15

That must have upset him,

He wasn't pleased.

Anyhow, that's how

His mother doesn't approve of you.

I've no idea. Maybe

If that's all,

What is your work, Miss King?

I'm a croupier at the Sherwood Club.

Well, well... Mrs Bowman

Robbed? You've made my day.

Now are you going, or what?

You carry on.

Please yourself.

How long have you known Mr Massie?

About a year. I met him at the club.

So he's a punter?

He's a member,

I'm surprised you stayed in

I know young Roger can't

He likes to go out, he likes

..knocking people down

..he likes getting silly girls

I find you incredibly offensive.

Oh, get in the queue, Miss King.

I find toffee-nosed yobs who kill

Kill?

You didn't know he was dead?

Your boyfriend didn't check that out

Or were you in the car too?

It's true.

The thing is, Miss King,

He arrived yesterday evening

Now, please, leave me alone.

You wanted to see me, sir?

Yes. I want to see exactly where

Over here, guv.

Were the two bits together,

No, this bit was about here...

..and this one about here.

Must have snapped off

Do numberplates fall off?

Did they look for the screws?

Thank you very much, Shelby.

Hey, stop him! Stop him!

What's the matter, love?

That policeman's the only one

In where, love?

He must have taken it.

Must have taken what, love?

My jewellery. I can't find it.

It was in my little box.

The constable used the phone?

Yes, he sat next to the drawer.

If he'd taken anything,

I wasn't here.

He asked you to go out of the room

Yes. He said it was confidential.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll get someone to see you

You are sure that a constable has

Oh, I am. Quite sure.

What do you think?

Wouldn't be the first copper

No, I don't reckon it.

but I can't see him nicking things

On the other hand...

On the other hand what?

Last night, when I went

..he shut his locker door, like

No. Don't believe it.

Maybe somebody should take a look.

All right. Take my keys. There's one

Search a fellow officer's locker?

I don't like people who take what

It's up to

In the meantime, let's keep shtum

Yeah, guv, all right.

That numberplate

and chucked out

Why would he do that?

If Massie was driving, agreed.

But supposing someone had nicked

Like who? Well, try this for size.

The girl said

Just suppose he's run up

a dirty great gambling debt

So she puts the screws on him

by getting one of her cowboys

drive round, throwing

so that we know

warning Massie there is worse

But...

But it all goes wrong...

..because the cowboy

He panics, dumps the car

The car was found near the casino.

There's a lot of loose ends,

The trouble is,

which goes against natural justice.

Make Mullett happy, though.

Cor, that's even worse!

I'm going to pop round

What do you want?

Just a couple of days, all right?

You in trouble?

Just a couple of days.

I suppose the car's nicked, is it?

Nothing but bloody trouble.

I did a stint of night duty

He chatted me up,

Suddenly, it was getting heavy

the longer his girlfriend will sit

It's not much of a threat, I know,

but I've been up all night and I'm

You should have asked me.

I knew he couldn't have been

Saw him what?

At the Sherwood Club. Not in it,

Whose car?

You mean Miss King's?

Miss King, the flavour of the month.

What do you mean, you saw him?

I was there with a friend,

We had a row, we left early.

As I was leaving,

He was probably waiting

She wasn't working.

He couldn't have knocked the old man

Why didn't you say this before?

I wanted to see him dangle

Are you sure it was him?

Why wouldn't he go inside?

Probably because of the money

£3,000 - he must be mad.

I heard that he'd paid her off.

He gave her a cheque, you mean.

You mean it bounced?

If it didn't, I don't know why not.

There was nothing in the account.

So, he signs a cheque

the bank can't clear it

because of the weekend...

and it doesn't bounce.

BUZZER

Hello?

No, but he'd like

Yes, I'll write it down.

I'm sorry, he can't get here now.

Yes.

Thank you.

OK, I will.

Yes. Goodbye.

You know what I think, Miss...

For every bit of bad luck, you

Is that lateral thinking?

How would you like me

Yuck!

I see Mullett's got his flowers.

You can be an insensitive sod, Jack.

Maybe it is time I hung my boots up.

I'd like to tell you

Stop me where I go wrong.

Once upon a time,

who owed money to

The prince thought it would be

to pay her back

So, with the help of Lady Julia...

who was beautiful

in the ways of Tommy and Les...

he does the business.

But to keep the wicked witch

he needs an alibi...

..so he gets

to drive round

making noise and throwing

so that Mr Plod will take out

and point to Prince Roger...

who thereupon will admit:

"Yes, officer, 'twas I caused

He'll then pay his £50 fine

But, unfortunately,

the beautiful Lady Julia

Prince Roger says:

So he and the Queen Mother

I have a warrant

where I expect to find the best part

I can either break down

or you can give me the key.

What's all this, then?

I was taking a liberty, guv,

I'm not that blind, Constable.

It occurred to me

and if he took that jewellery

It could bring more grief

That's...

You were going to remove it,

If it was there, yes.

You change your tune more times than

You're king of the rule book,

Next, you're an avenging angel

because you don't like thieves

And now you're Mr Softy,

wanting to break into it again

I don't understand you at all,

In.

IN!

We've got the bugger!

Alpha Bravo -

RADIO: 'Maintain position,

SIRENS

INSIDE! INSIDE!

Vous voulez un dessert, madame?

Monsieur? Erm...

That looks nice. Have a bit of that.

Good afternoon, Inspector.

No, thanks, madam.

I'll sit down and join you, though.

Do you mind? Thank you.

Peach tart, please, Michel.

Nasty business, this hit-and-run,

Roger knows he acted foolishly.

I was just trying to protect Julia.

Very noble, sir,

Yes, well... Thank you, Michel.

I was wrong and I expect

Bravo, sir, bravo.

Oh, dear... Haven't got the time

No, sorry.

I understand, madam, you're paying

AND setting aside funds

Under the circumstances...

And I understand you're setting up

..with a personal contribution

And they say that

Well, I think I'll leave

to enjoy your creme de menthe

Oh, yes, there was

Roger Massie, I'm arresting you

at the Sherwood Club

Your accomplice

Anything you say

and may be used in evidence.

Do you? Yes!

Jolly good.

Sorry, madam.

It's all right, sir,

Keep those people back over there.

Which one? Number 25, sir.

Any hostages?

Mr and Mrs Darbon, the occupants.

Has everyone been evacuated?

The family in number 36

Refuse? They have no choice. Just

Yes, sir.

You've all got your positions.

I know he's done one of ours,

but if we can help it,

No... No, you're fine, it's all

It'll only take a couple of minutes.

I'm not mucking about here, don't

She can't breathe! Shut up! SHUT UP!

You wanted me, sir?

One of the hostages has been

Jim Allen has persuaded him

Two hostages for one of us.

He wants you.

Just when I was looking forward

Apparently, he can er...

he can trust you.

You really enjoyed saying that.

If you go in, try and persuade him

I was going to persuade him to come

He's coming. Here he comes now.

He's on his way to you. See him?

That's all right. Just let him come.

Ronnie?

It's me, Jack Frost.

Where are you?

I'm at the top of the stairs

coming in.

Right, now...

you let them go.

That was the deal.

(WHEEZES)

Walk straight ahead,

Now...

what's this all about, Ronnie?

I want a car and petrol

Don't be daft, Ronnie.

All right, all right.

They want aggravation,

Come on, you bastards!

Listen, I done some bad stuff

but I didn't kill that copper.

I was at Bett's place pissed out of

Have you seen her? You gotta be

I didn't set foot outside the house

Go and ask her, she'll tell you.

Well, if you didn't do it,

what are we doing in here?

They reckon I shot a copper.

One of your own.

I show my face down there and

They'll put a bloody great hole in

It frightens people, see.

That's why we took it in the bank.

you pop one in the ceiling

That's why we had the gun.

We didn't want to hurt the guard.

He played the hero

Besides, I didn't do it.

I didn't want to hurt anybody!

Then you won't want to hurt me,

So put the gun down,

I didn't kill that copper,

All right, I believe you, Ronnie.

I do.

I believe you.

Yeah, but it's them...

You trust me, don't you?

That's why you asked me to come up

because you thought you could trust

I am bloody scared.

I don't want you hurt.

And I don't want me hurt.

So...

..let's go downstairs.

You'd better not let me down.

Because I am warning you,

if you've been having me on,

I will blow your bloody head off.

I will. I WILL!

Don't do that, Ronnie.

Oh, Christ.

Are you OK?

Yeah...fine.

The pathologist wants to see me.

Fancy coming?

Or have you seen enough mutton for

No.

Lost, anyway.

Right, then.

Well, Constable Shelby was shot here

Well, that's all right. That's fine.

But it's here. This exit wound.

It just isn't right for a wound made

So...I took some X-rays.

Along with the shotgun pellets

there are irregular fragments

What are you saying?

What I'm saying

Once with a rifle or a handgun,

At different times

I'm not saying that.

As far as I can determine,

Whether or not by

Why would you shoot twice

That's your job, Inspector.

To me, it suggests the second shot

I saw the man aim the gun

The Inspector raised his hands

He shouted something

I considered his life

There'll be a full inquiry,

And a great many questions asked -

I cannot pretend that

a somewhat happier conclusion

But you can expect

and the support of

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Mr Mullett would like to see you.

Open it.

I said open it.

Quite the David Bailey, wasn't he?

I...

I don't understand.

To see pictures of your wife

..must've torn your guts out.

You understand all right.

You killed him, didn't you?

You shot him with your handgun...

and then you blasted him

..to make it look like

And I'm gonna prove

All right, just at the moment

all I've got is a load of

but when I find that bullet...

..when I match it to the gun

which I will...

..I'm gonna tear you apart.

I saved your life.

Did you, Constable?

Did you really?

Inspector!

Yes.

There you go.

You'll be well pleased with that.

Me?

I'm delirious.

Mr Frost?

Mr Frost!

Excuse me. I was absolutely wrong.

About my jewellery. The man

and you hear dreadful things

So I asked the meals-on-wheels

I hope I haven't caused

It's so easy to jump to

Yes, love.

It certainly is.

Jump in, I'll give you a lift home.

There you are.
