Jim?

- Yes, I can hear you. - Jim, she's back

Hello, she's stopped outside the bank, she's feeling in her purse for something.

No, no it's okay. She was just getting her keys out, that was all.

The pub must be locked, I suppose?

But that's all.

Anybody with her?

No, she's on her own.

She's all right, leave her alone.

Hey, Dick. She won't be able to see you from the window, will she? Her window?

What you mean when she gets inside?

No, no chance. She won't be able to see me out

the window, I'm right on top of her room.

It's a pity I can't pay her a visit.

It's going to get bloody lonely up here all night, you know.

You stay put.

Remind us just before the pub opens, and we'll keep it quiet down here.

And Dick

keep the chat down never know who might be listening.

Yeah, right.

You're nine minutes late.

That pub will be full of punters in thirty-one minutes.

Now get these down you and get on with it.

Don't look like that son, you ain't started yet.

Control? I want accurate timings at every stage. We're nine minutes late already,

and I want the time made up as soon as possible.

Remember what I said at the briefing? This operation

is too important politically to take any risks.

Ah. Well done sergeant.

I don't think there's much doubt, is there?

Oh, it's Iris Long all right.

Do you think she's in on it, sir?

Get hold of Inspector Jack Regan for me, will you?

He might be able to help us out.

Do we have to bring The Squad in, sir?

At one time it seems they were contemplating marriage.

Now we're not going to let a little break like that go to waste, are we sergeant?

No. I want Regan here five minutes ago.

I really appreciate this, sergeant.

I was going to be spending a dull afternoon watching Fulham play.

Can't we go any faster?

My guv'nor likes people to be punctual.

How long have you worked for Superintendent Grant?

Six months.

For my money, he's the best superintendent a DS could have.

There is a certain amount of wastage amongst his personnel.

What?

I mean, his men keep dying on him. It's

pretty dangerous working for Grant, isn't it?

We have the highest arrest rate in the Met.

Yeah, cardiac arrest.

Criticism is something the governor encourages.

Sometimes I think he's his own worst enemy.

Not while I'm around.

Hello, Dick?

I want you to watch the main road as well as the entrance to Wollston Gardens.

I want you to let me know the moment a police patrol appears.

Regan.

Guv'nor. Congratulations on your latest medal.

Decoration. Sit down.

Well it was good of you to volunteer.

Volunteer?

For the operation.

Didn't, er, Jellineck fill you in?

Ah, just as well. The situation has developed since then.

- Don't tell me, it's dangerous. - it presents a certain physical challenge.

How well do you know a woman called Iris Long?

I gather you used to see quite a lot of her.

What does that mean?

She's involved in this right up to her neck.

There's a bank raid going on Regan

and I'd like to have a sergeant fill you in.

The woman Long lives above a pub. Here.

Next to the National Anglia Bank.

The raiders are already inside the bank.

They've established a three-way radio link between

the bank, the leader who we call 'Control',

and some sort of super scout, who's ensconced somewhere on the roof.

We've code-named him 'Eagle'.

Eagle? That's nice, isn't it?

They've been insde the bank since early this morning.

They came out of Long's window at the top of the pub,

and they entered the bank across the roof.

They've neutralised the alarms, and now we think they're working in the vaults.

We're monitoring their radio.

Now, we want someone who can get into Long's room

and stay there without arousing suspicion.

- Someone like me? - Yes.

Well you know the lady, don't you?

We want to cut off chummy's exit

while we get on with the serious business of locating Control.

That's what these lads are doing now.

And how long's that going to take?

Three hours at the most.

You're going down there straight away.

Now just a minute, guv'nor. If you know they're inside

winkle them out. Now!

Well that's what your crime squad's all about, isn't it?

What about their leader?

What about Control?

Well you pick up the gaffer up later, don't you?

That's always the way.

But he's not going to hang about while we're arresting his friends, is he?

We're going to miss the biggest fish and there's something else besides,

That bank doesn't carry enough cash to warrant an operation of this size.

They're after something in the safe deposit boxes, aren't they?

Something very big

and I'm going to wait until they've got it before I nick them.

That way we'll all know what it is we've been protecting, won't we?

And you become a hero?

Not at my expense.

What about Long?

Iris Long is someone I knew years ago. She's nothing to do with me now.

No, this is just another of your crackpot schemes

that's sent many a keen young 'Jack' to his grave.

Well, I'm having nothing to do with it.

Nothing!

All you have to do is stay in that room with your lady friend.

And while you're there, they won't risk leaving the bank.

Just give us till closing time.

Oh, closing time now is it?

We'll have located Control by then.

It may have escaped your notice,

but half a dozen men armed to the teeth are likely

to come through the window before closing time

and I'm likely to be blown out of that room like a cork out of a bottle.

Sign for this if it makes you feel any better.

Yes, it does make me feel better.

Do you want to pull up here, sir?

Oh no, no. Right outside the pub.

Open the door as I get out,

give me a salute and play 'God Save The Queen'.

I want you to find out if the landlord's in on this.

Don't worry I've got men posted round each corner.

Bullets don't travel round corners, do they?

Oh by the way, do the local nick know what's going on here?

No, not yet. Just till closing time.

Stay on the alert won't you?

Such men were sent to try our patience, Jellineck.

Georgie, come and have a look at this.

- What do you think? - Ten minutes.

Well go on then.

- Squad Office. Sergeant Carter. - George. This is the DI.

I'm outside a pub on the corner of Woolston Gardens.

In a minute I shall be upstairs with a girl I know.

Draw yourself a pistol and get down here with a friend.

Someone who can shoot straight.

Grant's mob are here, but the locals haven't been informed

and neither of them know about you so be

careful or you'll be caught in the crossfire.

- Charming. What's going on? - There's a bank screwing going on.

- Right next door to the pub. - I see.

I want you to sit in the bar till closing time if

necessary, and do nothing till I scream. Right?

Right. Got you. So long.

Burtonshaw!

Oi, Gerry!

- Yeah? - Look, get yourself a gun. You're working.

Terrific.

I'm looking for Iris.

Iris Long, you know? Iris.

I'm a friend of hers.

- What's your name? - Regan.

There's a fella here called Regan.

Is it Jack Regan?

He says 'yes'.

Right.

Top of the stairs, first on the right.

- Give us a bottle of scotch will you? - She doesn't drink scotch.

I do.

Three thirty-one.

Come in, Jack.

There's no ice, unless you can mend the fridge.

- Who's your friend? - None of your business.

Got a nice view.

On a clear day you can see Centre Point.

That's nice, isn't it?

Yeah. I'm glad somebody's made it.

How have you been keeping, Jack?

Must be nearly four years.

More like ten.

What rank do they dignify you with now?

Inspector.

- What are you doing tonight? - Going out.

- Call him. Tell him it's off. - No I can't, not tonight.

Course, er, if you want to make an appointment.

A what?

I do it for money these days.

What are you trying to do? Impress me?

I'm trying to say no gracefully.

You live in a bedsitter above a pub.

The landlord would lose his license

- before you'd drop your knickers. - Are you turning this place over?

Yeah, do you mind?

You haven't changed, have you?

You come in here swinging a bottle of scotch.

You are in trouble, do you know that?

The last time I had a place turned over, I was

with this posh 'John' in St. John's Wood.

Nearly rhymed, didn't it?

The door bell rings, and he goes down to answer it.

There are these two six foot geezers with size twelve boots on.

'You know who we are?' They say. 'And why we're here?'

'Yes' he says, 'Only I wasn't expecting you so soon.'

'Do come in'.

Then 'John' comes up to me. 'lris', he says. 'I want you to leave'.

'You know who they are?' I says.

'Yeah' he says. 'They're Masons, you see, I've applied to

join and they've sent round a couple of their committee.'

'Do leave off!' I says. 'They're not Masons'.

'Look, just get dressed.' He says, 'And go out the back way'.

Now just at this moment, the heavy one comes in.

'Oh.' John says. 'This is my wife'.

'Can I see your dirty laundry?' he says, without blinking.

'My laundry?'...'Yeah, your underpants.'

'Now look!' John says. 'Don't get me wrong, I don't want to seem discourteous'

'but I don't see what becoming a Mason has got to do with my underpants'.

'Mister'

the big one says,

'We are not Masons. We are CID'

'and we are investigating a rape case in which you are a prime suspect.'

At which, my 'John' faints.

'That geezer didn't rape anyone!' I say, spraying him with aftershave.

'Where's the laundry?' That's all they say. 'Try the bathroom', I say.

So they go out to the bathroom.

I never seen them again.

I reckon they left through the sewers.

Where's your bathroom, Iris?

Straight down the hall.

And hurry up.

'Cos I'm going out.

Listen, I don't know who he is.

He said his name was Regan, and she said she knew him. That's all.

Right.

The cinema was so hot,

I fell asleep, you see. Well the film went round.

When I woke up, it was exactly the same place as when I went to sleep.

- Get away. - Yeah, so I watched it till the end

and I went out into the street, it was pitch black,

I thought I'd gone diddle-o.

How much longer are you going to be, Georgie?

Two minutes.

Well I hope so, time is going.

Jim. The man.

Jim, Control. Jim?

Yes, Jim here.

At last. Listen carefully. Someone's with that

girl in her room, the landord just phoned me.

Who is it?

The fool doesn't know. I want you to find out.

It's Dick here. Look, I can take a look if you like.

No, your job is to stay exactly where you are and watch the streets.

Don't move unless I tell you, is that clear?

Yeah, got it. Yeah.

Jim?

Go up on that pub roof yourself and take a look in that girl's window.

Let me know who it is in that room.

- Don't get yourself spotted. Understand? - Right.

I'm going up on the roof. Give me my coat and a shooter.

- And Georgie? You keep going. - Right.

Right, out.

You notice I'm not eating.

I just want you to realise I cooked this meal under protest.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm being kept here against my will.

You ever heard of Superintendent Grant Serious Crime Squad?

No.

He's got you marked.

What as?

Someone with big time criminal connections.

Ha ha! He's right.

He's not a pleasant man to know.

Doesn't like women.

One of those.

Well, I'd put him in the same class as, er

Jack the Ripper.

You're not sitting in a comfy chair.

I can't see the telly.

You can't see the window either.

You keep looking at that window.

I think it started to rain.

Has it?

Yeah.

What do you keep looking at that window for?

I thought I saw someone outside it, that's all.

It's the cat from the dairy.

Poor thing, it'll be soaking.

Why don't you let it in then?

Here. This, er

Superintendent Grant. He thinks there's a bank raid going on next door.

He says that, er, half a ton of equipment was

seen manoeuvring itself out of your window

- early this morning.

He was wondering if there could be a connection.

Oh, and he sent you round to see if there was?

Is.

They're still in there.

Oh.

And I thought this was going to be a social occasion.

In some ways it is.

I told him to stuff it

till your name came up.

Oh, do leave off, Jack.

You wouldn't cross the street to say 'hello',

to me if I laid naked on a zebra crossing.

Don't pretend to be what you're not.

All right, you tell me why I'm here.

Because you wanted to combine business with pleasure. That's plain, isn't it?

Look, Iris. The world does not revolve around your body.

This bloke Galileo proved it. it goes round the sun.

And what's more I'm no longer the despised aide to CID that I was when I knew you.

- I don't need it every afternoon anymore. - And you don't get it either, do you?

Bald...pot-bellied...double chin

- most coppers get like that. - You been conducting a survey?

My sister told me that.

Yeah, all the ones Millie knows are like that.

You know, if she shaved the hairs off her chest and put a frock on now and again

Oh, I don't know what I ever saw in you.

You saw free food, free pictures and a hoped-for fur coat.

And was it worth it? Eighteen months of you. Where did that get me?

And what did they pay you to stay out of the room till lunch-time?

Ten quid.

You need a good agent.

This job wouldn't be going off if there wasn't at least fifty grand in it.

Look, all this man asked was if I'd rent my room for an hour.

- Who was he? - I don't know, some 'Henry' in the bar.

Look, will you stop going on about 'Henrys' and

'Johns', and stop pretending you're on the bloody game.

You'd like to be, but you don't have the application.

Why don't you just rest on your reputation as a good lay and leave it at that?

That's one thing I've never done

made a man happy.

There's one thing I've never understood is how

you can make remarks like that stone cold sober.

How long have you known him?

- Who? - The guy who gave you the ten?

I just met him.

Where?

Downstairs. The landlord introduced us.

How old is he?

About forty. Going to seed.

Not what I'd call attractive, but he had plenty of money.

- What does he do for a living? - I don't know, he's just some 'Henry'.

He knows the landlord?

Yeah. I think he might.

Sometimes when I'm coming through he'll ask me if I'll have a drink.

Who the 'Henry'?

I thought you didn't want to call him 'Henry'.

All right, this geezer then?

- They both buy me drinks. - And they give you a tenner?

- Twenty. - Twenty?

Ten for now, and ten for later.

You mean, ten for going out, and the for coming back?

- I don't know, Jack, do I? - Well, do you?

Keep quiet.

God Almighty, what are you doing with that thing?

I'm a copper, aren't I?

You leave that poor cat alone.

That's not a bloody cat.

Bloody hell!

Hey, there's someone on the roof!

What do you mean?

There's a bloke! There's someone on the roof.

Where did he come from?

Out the win

out the window, he got out the window.

Well, pull yourself together, it's Jim.

No, Jim's here, Jim's here too.

Right. Now, listen carefully. Stay exactly where

you are and keep out of sight. Is that clear?

Yeah, but he's got a gun.

Right, Jim?

- What the devil is he doing on the roof? - Whatever he does, report to me.

Jellineck, make a note. He's to keep off the roof.

Yes, sir.

We're getting a different bearing on the Control

again sir. This one's out by eighty degrees.

Sergeant, are you saying that Control is using different radio sets?

No, sir. It's more likely he's mobile.

I'd say he was operating from a car.

This is Jim. I've been having a look around up

here. I reckon she's got a customer with her.

Customer? With a gun?

I don't know anything about that.

I didn't see no gun.

What I do know is he's going back in.

Right. Radio silence until he's gone.

I'll leave my shooter up here with Dick.

Have another look through that window, and if he's

harmless, get back in the bank, You're behind schedule.

Right.

Sergeant, if Control is in a car, how long will it take to locate them?

If he is in a car, sir, it could take all night.

I don't think we've got all night.

Are you sure they're robbing a bank?

Yeah, I told you.

What bank?

That one next door, I told you.

Oh, I know you told me. I just don't believe you.

What were you doing on the phone?

What phone?

I saw you through the window when I was coming back.

I was telling my boyfriend I couldn't come out

on account of I had a cold.

Here, I thought you were chasing bank robbers, not spying on me.

- Where's my gun? - In the dishwasher.

You put it in the dishwasher?

It was filthy.

What are you trying to do?

That's Government property!

What is it?

- Face at the window! - Where are you going?

To get the police! Look, get your hands off me!

I am the police.

I told you about the face in the window, remember?

Look, just act natural and he'll go away.

- No he won't. - Yes he will.

- No he won't. - Yes he will.

Ohh...um...will he?

Yes.

Jack...is that in the course of duty?

You've ruined my pistol, do you know that?

Where's that phone?

Right out on the landing.

Hello?

Inspector who?

Er, a bloke here wants a copper. Inspector Regal?

Old bill all over the place!

- It's the police! - Hey you!

Hello Regan?

Looks as if someone's gone to fetch him, sir.

Good.

Here! Here it's Old Bill, all over the place!

It's the police...it's the police, I tell you ...argghh!

Hey you! I saw that.

Get that one! After him!

Right, guv.

Anything else I can do for you, guv?

Get the old man upstairs.

Just a minute, who the hell are you?

And him.

Eamonn...get the police.

Hold on, it's Sergeant Carter.

Our 'Super' didn't say anything about The Squad being involved in this.

- Get him an ambulance. - Yeah, an ambulance.

You all right, sir?

Right? Dick here.

Where have you been?

There seems to be some sort of hustle down in the pub.

What do you mean? Does it involve the landlord?

Well, I don't know, I mean, there was just

some kind of fight, punch up down in the pub.

Two fellas run out, went round the back, one of

'em got punched up stupid. That's all I know.

I mean, I suppose it is Saturday night, isn't it?

What's the idea of having me paged like this was some kind of hotel?

I've got the whole world and it's aunt on our doorstep now.

I'm sorry, Regan. I thought you would have had the phone pretty well covered.

Well, what do you want me to cover? The window or the phone?

Hello Regan. What's the problem?

What in hell's name made you ring me here?

Regan, I'm sure you have the situation under control.

Now, I want you to know what the situation is here we now believe Control is mobile.

He's in some sort of vehicle.

It's going to take us a few more hours to locate him.

What?

I want you to stay there until such time as we do so.

I don't think we'll be needing your bottles get in there and help them.

Hurry up with that! There's all these to open yet.

Hang about, I think I've found it.

What about the girl?

- She will stay with you. - I don't go for that.

It's getting hot here, she might get hurt.

It is essential our friends continue to believe Miss Long is in that room.

Once she leaves they're likely to become suspicious.

What makes you think they're not suspicious now?

Because we are able to monitor their thoughts over the radio.

Well, let me know the second they decide to pull out, that's all.

Regan?

What was that bit about two men earlier on?

The fight spread outside the pub. Eagle got nervous, That's all.

But we've got triangulation on Control, sir.

It's the Hampstead/Belsize Park area alright.

It makes sense... High ground, you know?

Those are the two who started it.

I must warn you that

Get him down to the station.

- What's the charge, sir? - Well, just hold him for the moment.

- He ain't a bloody cop, is he? - And him too.

But he started the fight!

- Come on, it will do you no good to argue. - He started it.

Come along.

Listen there's three hundred pounds of damage!

Right, get him outside and make sure he doesn't talk to anyone.

- Come on dad. - But...but...but!

- Come on. Come on! - But...but.. the gents is upstairs.

Yes, you can use the backyard. Come on.

Dick here. It's alright, it's all clear.

I told you didn't I? Now, get some kip, we'll wake you at four.

Four?

That's right. Four.

Very pretty. Sling it in there, it's not what we're after.

- All right Gerry, you can go home.

Oh, er, you sure you don't want me to stay, guv?

Is there any word on George?

Yeah, he's, er, down the hospital.

That geezer you told him to chase out the pub, only

turns out to be one of Grant's boys, don't he?

- George got jumped. - Well, I hope he gave them a kicking.

Er, no. There was three of them, guv.

Oh Well.

- Listen the next time you - Yeah, yeah not many!

Look, er, you sure you're going to be alright here on your own?

Yeah, yeah I'm fine.

See you tomorrow, Gerry.

I hope so, guv.

Here, what was that all about?

- Are you going to bed? - Well, aren't you?

Goodnight Iris, love.

Goodnight to you.

Hold it. Shut up.

I've got it.

This is it.

Put the documents in the case and wait for the van... and you Dick

get me a report on the street anything that moves. Let me know.

Don't let those documents out of your sight,

Jim. What about the street? Any problems?

No, the newspaper's still out there.

Newspaper? What newspaper?

The newspaper at the pub. nobody's picked it up. It's still there.

And the milk's there too.

Well, where's that bloody landlord then?

Watch what you're doing with that case.

Jim? Jim, we've heard no word from the landlord all

night and the papers are still outside the pub.

Jim? Jim?

Yes, Jim here. We're out of the bank and ready to go.

Now, listen the landlord's unreliable. He may be about

to shop us...l want him to be found and silenced

send two men over the roof, and you go through the bar, get that landlord fast!

Got it. Georgie?

Yeah?

Get up on that roof.

You and Dick come down through the window. I'm going up through the hatch.

- We'll meet up in the bar. - Right.

- Georgie? - Yeah?

- Don't move till you see the van. - Right.

Dick? I'm sending a man up to you. Get in that pub and find that landord.

What was that about newspapers on the roof? I didn't catch it.

It's not what they say, sir. It's the frequency.

- Once we get locked into that - Nothing must go wrong now!

Hello, Arthur...? No, I was just calling you.

That's definite, is it?

Have we got him?

We have, sir.

Hello? Inspector Regan please. Hello?

- Put your clothes on. - Hello, Regan?

Oh, it's you. When are they coming out?

The situation here, Regan, is that I've decided to charge the landlord.

It's too risky to let him go, you understand?

- So you don't have to worry about him. - I wasn't worried about him.

You'll also be glad to know, Regan, that we've located Control.

And, in fact, I am leaving now to supervise that end of operation.

Imperative we pick him up as soon as possible.

When are they coming out?

According to our latest information, five past eight.

- Well, that's in ten minutes. - Precisely.

Iris and me are coming out now.

No, don't do that. You'll be spotted by their

man on the roof. He's still up there you know.

Well, why don't you bloody well nick him then?

Because I don't want a vulgar battle going all over Woolston Gardens

with people shooting at each other and consequent loss of life.

Worse still

I don't want chummy bolting back into the bank.

Where it will take a week to winkle him out...with consequent loss of face.

Well, what are you going to do?

The moment they leave, we'll move in. Now, once we're in the bank,

chummy's line of retreat is cut off.

He'll have no option but to use his getaway

cars, which means going down Ledbury Street.

Now that's all open ground.

We have our sharp-shooters in place.

That's a terrific idea, Superintendent. What about us?

Lie low. Try the cellars?

Now you listen to me...There's somebody already in those cellars!

That would tie in with Sergeant Jellineck's theory.

Which is what?

That they're not coming over the roofs - they're coming through the cellars.

Look, your're monitoring the radio. Are they coming

over the roofs or are they coming through the cellars?

Ah, yes, I see what you mean Regan, er

if you go into the cellars and they come out that way, the game is blown.

That's not all that'll be blown!

Iris...come on Out, now!

Jim, don't go up to that bar until the van arrives. Now, hello...three?

- Three. - Where are you now?

Just turned into Woolston Gardens.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to get this barrel onto this trap-door.

- There's no answer to that. - Exactly.

Don't just stand there, give me a hand.

When you get it home what are you going to tell the

neighbours? That it fell off the back of a lorry?

Give me a hand for God's sake. They're coming up this way.

Oh! I thought they were coming through my room?

No the're not.

Why don't you get dressed, Iris?

What do you want me to do? Push or get dressed?

Get dressed.

All right.

What do you think I should wear?

Something inexpensive 'cos of the bullet holes?

Or something dark so it doesn't show the blood?

That's not funny.

- You're getting hysterical. - I am not getting hysterical!

I am terrified.

- Passing the bank. - Get them.

Right.

Quiet.

Forget about getting dressed. I don't want you out of my sight, all right?

Excuse me, which is the best place to hide?

Jack?

- Ohhh! - Get down.

What is going on?

That's their truck outside.

They'll come out of the bank through the cellars under here.

Shut up.

That's the van outside now.

Get ready to open the street trap door. I'm going upstairs.

They'll bring the stuff straight up into the street, with any luck.

What? Like they bring the beer into the pub?

Yeah, they didn't do all this without the knowledge

of the landlord and he isn't here anymore.

So when's that going to penetrate their thick skulls?

You haven't brought the milk in, have you?

- Milk? - Or the newspapers?

No.

This leads up to the bar but the bloody thing won't open.

- Go on, get in the van. - Right.

Right, now.

Jack!

Jack! Up there!

- Inspector Regan please. - Yeah.

Message from the 'super', sir.

Wants to warn you that there are two armed men coming over the roof.

Jack! There's blood!

Oh my God.

I'm giving you permission to see the Inspector

now provided you don't disturb him, right?

Oh thank you.

Apart from the Inspector's unfortunate accident, the operation was a success?

Oh, a total success.

Yes, we're going through the stolen valuables

now and informing the owners one-by-one.

Yeah, were they after one particular thing?

No comment.

Thank you nurse. Thank you. Good morning, Jack. How are you?

Good morning, sir.

Now I'm sitting here on the, er, side of the bed, right?

You can get a two shot, can't you? Er...me in the foreground?

We'd like to see the wound, sir. Er, where exactly was your wound?

Yes. Where is your wound, Jack?

You're sitting on it.

Oh. Well you can always widen your angles.

- Oh, it's a leg wound is it? - Yes, it's a leg wound.

Can we have something more dramatic like, you know,

a bandage round the head or an arm in plaster?

Why not?

I'm surprised you're not at the Palace collecting another medal.

Very funny, Jack.

You'll be pleased to know we got 'em all from

the big fella himself, right down the line.

Thelot

Excuse me? If you could, er, hold this?

So what were they after?

I mean, what did you find on them, after you so

courageously surrounded them with half the Met

three streets away from the scene of the crime?

Jewels, Krugerrands and er, certain documents of a highly political nature.

We're charging Iris Long, of course.

Conspiracy.

Oh, no way! That girl saved my life.

Oh we'll ask the judge to take that into consideration.

Yeah, well here's something that you should take into consideration.

I might marry her, in prison at the beginning of the trial.

Now that would really keep you off the front pages, wouldn't it?

Yeah. We could, er, hold hands across the witness box, er

kiss through the bars of the Black Maria.

Yeah, I reckon we could hog the headlines for a whole month.

You'd be nowhere.

You're not serious?

Well, in that case, you'll be all right, won't you?

Of course, I could speak to the, er, DOPP's Office. Um

see if they could, um, drop the charges against her.

Oh yes, you could, couldn't you?

- I can't promise anything. - Oh no, of course you can't.

I'll do my best.

Oh, you will. I know you will.

Excuse me, Superintendent? Um yes

if you could keep that look together, it's for the old

comrades' sake. This is for the Badge of Courage.

- Yes, why not. - Thank you.
