Hold up.

Will you help us.

Over there, by the steps.

Put the body down there.

Get down.

Get rid of that lot, George.

What happened?

They got Mr Dowland, they shot that man in cold blood.

Governor.

I'm Wilson, Green Street.

DI Regan, flying squad.

Now these people need to be identified

and treated for shock.

Give me that Sergeant.

This is the police, you are surrounded.

Come out with your hands on your head.

Throw down your weapons and come out.

The others have been arrested.

We've got three hostages in here.

Come in after us and we'll kill 'em.

George, who was that?

I don't know, Gov, what do we do now?

This is going to be a right bastard.

Stay here and make sure they don't make a run for it.

[sirens approach]

[radio] Foxtrot to four four, charlie three six

Inspector,

This is Oscar two three, this is an emergency.

I need two more cars down here right away.

[radio] Roger, two three.

Right, we need this area cordoned off entirely.

I want all the people

out of these buildings and these shops closed

Right.

I'd also appreciate it if you'd get a police photographer

down here with a telescopic lens.

Will do.

Jerry, take the villains we've got,

find out how many are in there.

And I want exact names Jerry, no fancy ones.

I want the real ones, even if it hurts, you understand,

Okay, Gov.

We also want the identities of the hostages.

One of the employees could have recognized them

but question all of them, even the customers.

They could have been with friends.

Right.

Sergeant.

They're keeping well hidden.

It's gonna be a bastard to storm that.

We should have gone in right at the start.

I should have known there'd more than three of them.

Yeah, well you weren't to know this was gonna happen.

What is going to happen?

[Mrs Dowland] My husband's in there,

-Let me speak to him. -[WPC] It's dangerous.

-Please, please. -[WPC] I'm sorry madam.

Oy, hold up.

What are you doing?

We're doing everything we can.

My husband's in there.

What's his name?

Dowland, Reginald Dowland, he's the manager.

Oh, all right, I'll explain everything to you, come on.

But what's happening in there?

Look, I've a right to know what's happening.

Mrs Dowland.

Look there are some armed men,

with at least one hostage inside the bank.

Your husband might be in there,

we're trying to find out from the ones that got out.

Now as soon as we learn anything about your husband

we'll let you know.

Take her to where

the other employees are being questioned

Might ease her mind to talk to them.

[WPC] We'll sort this out.

George, get access to the roof of that building.

You might be able to see in through a back window.

Okay.

[short whistle]

This is Oscar two three.

I want some tear gas and some marksman down here,

fast as you can.

So it's a nasty one

Go with Greg,

he'll fill in the detail and give you your positions.

Okay, Gov, come on lads.

Right Governor.

There's two of them and they've got three hostages.

Their names of Wands and Monk.

Terry Wands and Barry Monk.

You're positive?

Oh yeah.

I've never heard of them, you?

I found out about the hostages and all.

The geezer you saw, he's the manager of a bank.

His name's Dowland

The other two are women, they're both customers.

They think one of them is a student, Julia Coulson,

And the other's a lecturer, Jennifer Lewis.

Okay, put it on Major Inquiry on C 11.

Find out all you can about Wands and Monk,

so we're know what we're dealing with.

Right.

[suspenseful violin music]

Inspector, Mr Wilson said you're the boss.

What I want are any shots you can get me

on those two bastards inside,

Right.

I'll stand by to pick them off

the minute they show themselves again

Gotcha.

Greg, take him across.

Okay, Gov.

[short whistle]

There are windows.

What did you see?

Well no sight of the hostages,

but two of them at least have guns.

Do we know they are yet?.

Terry Wands and Barry Monk.

Wands.

Wands?

Yeah, that rings something with me too.

Where's that loud hailer?

Give us that.

Alright, Wands, Monk.

We know who you are now.

There's no way you can get out of this.

Come out with your hands on your heads.

The game's up.

Jerry.

George's found an observation post, up there at the back.

Get yourself a radio and link it with us.

I want to know everything that goes on inside that bank.

Okay, Gov.

Give him the bins, George.

You see anything?

No, Gov, just the odd movement.

Any luck?

Not a thing.

Wands and Monk, show us your hostages are alive,

or we'll come in, shooting.

I repeat, show us your hostages are alive

or we'll come in shooting.

We didn't hear any more shots.

Yeah, well, another a few moments

is not gonna make any difference.

Not if they are dead.

Okay, standby.

You've got 30 seconds.

Wands, Monk,

30 seconds.

[camera shutter]

Well at least they're alive.

Now's the time.

No, Governor.

[radio] Antecedent info, whiskey and mike, for DI Regan.

Yeah, okay, look, just hold on there for a second.

Governor, it's C 11, they've got more on Monk and Wands.

Hang on you two.

George, get the film off the photographer.

And have someone get prints as soon as possible.

Oh then take him on the roof.

He may get a good shot at Wands and Monk.

That's the link with Jerry up on the roof, Gov.

Thanks

Oscar two three.

Hold it, hold it right there please.

It is for your own safety.

You can't come past here.

I'm press.

And I'm squeeze, you can't go through.

I'm Gough, Evening Herald.

Can't you tell me what's happening?

Why is it all cordoned off?

Fine, yes I shall, goodbye.

What's this about hostages in a University building?

What's going on, Frank?

Oh, well division got a tip off, sir.

A bank raid in West London.

The duty squad got there first.

We shall know more in a few moments.

I'm waiting for the officer in charge

to get through to me.

He's going to be put through to me here.

Who is the officer?

Jack Regan.

We'll you'd better fill me in.

You all right here?

Fine, sir.

George, I have now placed the marksman.

[George] Okay, Governor, the boss is on RT.

Coming round.

Do you know where Mrs Dowland lives?

She works in a library.

I know that love, but they sent her home.

What's the address?

You've got a small army down there, Jack

Is everything under control?

Yes, sir, as far as it goes.

Are the hostages still alive?

Well they were a short while ago.

Have you found the identity of any of the gunmen yet?

You'd better go down there, Frank.

Wands absconded from an open prison.

He was a deprived child, murdered his stepfather.

I don't know much about the other one yet.

But it seems they were at the same school.

Jack, I'm coming right down.

Keep a tight hold on everything till I get there.

Now Regan,

those hostages must be allowed every chance.

Don't try anything heroic unless you're absolutely sure.

Yes, sir, right.

Governor, it looks like they're coming out.

Hello?

Hello?

Please, don't attack, he'll shoot me

What's that round her neck?

A belt.

Jerry, Jerry, what can you see?

Hang about.

Nothing at the moment, Gov.

I want to talk to the officer in charge.

Now's the time.

We should take them.

No, Governor.

Please can I talk to the officer in charge?

Otherwise I shall be killed.

She means it, Gov.

If we give in now, we give in all down the line.

What do we do, charge or talk?

We talk.

Jerry, what's it like now?

It's getting better governor.

Gov, I've got Monk.

He's dodging around a bit, but he's pretty clean.

[Regan] Okay.

Hello, Greg.

Got you, Gov.

[Regan] What's the name of your marksman?

Hicks.

Right, listen, Johnson and Hicks.

We've got a good beat on Monk most of the time.

And Sergeant Carter can see exactly the area

Monk has to be in, to be in the sights.

And he'll know when you can see Wands.

Now we're going to go entirely by him.

The minute he sees a clear, safe chance,

he'll dive to the ground,

or for the hostage, if they use one.

And I will cue the shoot.

You got it Johnson?

Got it, Gov.

And you Hicks?

Understood, sir.

Right, standby.

I'll tell you what, Governor

This bloke Wands might be a maniac

but he's got it all figured out, ain't he?

I mean, shampoo and tinned nosh.

well that's the only things we couldn't drug

in the time available, right?

Even if we had thought of it.

You reckon that's why he asked for them then?

Could be couldn't it?

I'd just like to know what else he's got figured out.

Listen, George, you can opt out of this right now.

Just nobody moves until I give the cue, right?

Right.

I could do with a glass of bubbly now.

Come on then.

Wands, we're sending it in now.

Okay, George.

It's all right.

[streakingly suspenseful music]

Okay.

Put it down very slowly, out of the way of the door.

Keep your eyes on the tray.

Lower it, don't bend your knees.

Johnson, you got Monk?

Lost him.

Hicks, what's it like?

Bad.

Envelope.

Now, take that to your boss.

Go back slowly, right back where you came from.

[bells ring in the distance]

It's Christmas all over the world, Governor.

Dull it isn't.

What did you see?

No chance, no chance at all.

Listen, than Wands might be crazy

but he knows exactly what he's doing.

You can say that again.

Take that belt off.

All right, Barry bring them through.

Keep down and get over here.

Put him down the end.

You stay there.

See, Barry?

Unto those that ask, shall be given.

That's right.

He could do anything.

What's the matter Terry?

Glasses,

we haven't got any glasses.

[police siren]

Governor.

They in there?

Yes, Gov.

We've just taken some refreshments in.

Are you taking over, sir?

Bring me up to date.

They want a car, and they want to drive out of here,

with the hostages, and the money, in exactly

48 minutes from now.

Otherwise they kill one of the hostages.

I believe them, Gov.

Well Wands was done for the murder of his stepfather.

He got away with manslaughter

and three years in a mental hospital.

No real form, just probation.

Anything to go on?

He claimed to have psychopathic tendencies.

Cor, dear, we could have 'em that

without laying him on a couch.

I've talked to his psychiatrist.

Apparently our best bet is to play for time

Try and engage him in discussion about his demands.

Trap him with his own rationality as it were.

Great, what do we do for an encore?

Give me the Hailer.

Wands, this is Detective Chief Inspector Haskins.

Can you hear me?

He won't answer, Governor.

You tied him up yet Barry?

Yep.

Barry, don't shove the glass in front of her like that.

What do you think she is, a dog?

If the lady doesn't want a drink

it isn't because she hasn't seen her bowl.

He was better before he went to borstal.

You remind him of his mother.

Whom he's never seen.

Sticky.

In order to comply with the law,

this office must have a first aid box somewhere.

So there's bound to be some sticky.

[knocking]

Good afternoon.

Hello, my name is Gough, Evening Herald,

I believe Mrs Dowland lives here.

When the media starts spreading this around

the surrounding countryside will be full of sightseers.

Roads will be jammed for miles.

You may also like to know that 2000 students

are back from vacation tomorrow.

You were in here asking him for a loan?

Yes.

Is this true?

I said is that true?

You're evil.

Did she come in here and ask you for a loan?

Answer me!

Did she asked you for a loan?!

Yes.

How much did you ask him for?

I asked for a guaranteed overdraft of 300 pounds.

300 pounds?

Until I received a check that was owed to me.

Did you grant the ladies request?

Yes, he did.

You told me a lie,

didn't you?

Why can't they let them go?

What does the money matter.

It doesn't matter it all

He always rings me around about now.

Mrs Dowland, your husband,

does he have a private line?

Yes.

Do you know the number?

Well, of course I know the number.

Right, great, thanks.

Can you hold on a moment?

You there?

Listen, take this, then I have to ring off.

But standby for something even bigger.

You ready?

Mrs Dowland, have you thought of calling your MP?

How long till the deadline?

20 minutes.

Get on to the marksmen again, Jack.

Johnson, how is it?

Like the last time, Gov.

Lot more moving about.

Hicks?

Same here sir.

Can I make a suggestion, Governor?

Yes, go on.

Well, once or twice the marksman

have had a perfect shot of one or other of them,

They're seeing them more and more

as they tend to relax

and move about and leave the hostages.

Now all we can do if we're not going to rush the place

is wait until both of them are sighted simultaneously.

Then it's up to you.

You mean shoot to kill.

They've already killed one bloke in the bank.

The lives of those civilians are in danger

until I they're incapacitated

We may not get an opportunity for a safe shot.

Well then, we let them go

or we sit out their bluff, until they kill again.

If we do let them go we might as well do it

while the roads aren't jammed with sightseers.

Well that might make it easier for us to follow them,

But risk still more lives.

Are they're working on that car.

Yeah.

It should be ready in a few minutes.

97, 98, 99, no that's a dirty one,

99, 100.

100, 200, 300.

There you are Miss Julia.

Personal overdraft, no interest, no collateral, 300 pound.

Go on, take it.

She can't take it.

It's all there.

She can't take it.

Are you going to make her a criminal?

It's not stolen money.

It's the overdraft you said you'd give her.

It's all there.

You mustn't take that money.

No!

You can't get anything right.

You always say the wrong thing.

You're problem is always the same.

Stop that!

You're insane.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Quick, hello, Gov?

Gov, got Wands, good shot.

Uh...

Can I speak to a Mr. Wands?

This is Terry Wands.

May I asked who's calling?

Certainly, hang on.

Dowland, pull yourself together.

Your Mrs wants a word with you.

[Barry Chuckles]

Quick, I've got Monk again, he's spot on, quick.

Hello, Gov,

We've got great shot at Monk again.

Hang on.

Hicks, have you still got him?

Beautiful, sir, absolutely beautiful.

Johnson, have you still got Wands?

Right on target.

If we ever lose them they'll kill the hostages.

Wands will know that they're witnesses against him.

Got him, Gov, right on target, clear shot.

Monk on target.

I've got Monk, absolutely clean.

Wands in shot, still clear shot.

A perfect shot, Gov.

Wands still in shot, Gov.

Perfect shot, Gov.

Lost Wands.

Hostage to close, no shot.

Monk still on target.

Monk still on target.

Monk still on target

It's too risky, we'll have to let him go.

I'm in communication with him at this moment.

Would you hold on please?

Frank?

We're waiting for them to come out.

No further complications.

Good.

Listen, Frank.

I've got the home office on the line at the moment.

Some woman has been in touch with her MP,

who's kicking up a terrible stink.

It seems there was a live radio telephone interview

with one of the gunmen inside the bank.

And I'm afraid it's to late,

the location was already given out on the air.

It's not hurting you, is it?

It won't be on for long.

No.

[whimpering]

I'm sorry.

Come on.

Help her up.

Please

Watch the trigger!

[Thud]

She's fainted.

She'll faint again.

You'll have to take Dowland.

[suspenseful bongo slaps]

Jack.

He's come out.

Yeah, okay, Governor, we can see him.

Check it.

He's looking for the bugs.

He's found one, taken it off.

One down, eight to go.

Get him in.

They're off.

[suspensful funky guitar, bass and strings]

[tires screech]

[tires screech]

What the hell are they doing?

Out.

Come on move.

leave your jackets and hats in the car, in the backseat.

Come on, move it.

Barry.

Right, the two of you, over here in this car, in the back.

Quick.

Get in their car, quick as you can.

[urgent piano music]

What is it?

[police siren]

[laughing]

Locate, follow, but do not apprehend, police car.

Blue Hillman, H-O-Y-5-1-5-N, Wands and Monk.

Armed and dangerous.

Have you got it?

Yeah, I reckon they shot through the call now.

Next left.

See that bloke on a motorbike, he's a cop.

Are you, are you sure?

Yeah, there was nobody behind us

who could have caught up that fast.

What do we do now?

We get rid of him.

Good boy.

What are you going to do?

[engine revs]

-[crash] -Argh!

Dozy bastard.

Here, turn that radio on.

What do you want, some music?

Yeah, fine.

You can tell old Dowland's not a music lover.

Not with with those mean little eyes.

[helicopter engine]

You get that, Jack?

They're heading for the M4, the chopper's still got them.

Right, Gov.

George, where would you go now?

[car roars past]

Getting, getting fidgety, are you?

Can't you stay with him, over?

[Helicopter] Impossible, we've already strayed

into an airport approach path.

Leaving area immediately, out.

If they didn't spot the chopper, Gov, then they're

not just going to the airport to try and lose it.

They could be booked on a plane.

We'll go to the airport now. Off.

They'll probably split up, George, travel separately.

We would have to saturate the airport with mugshots,

which we haven't even got.

Do you think they'll have the sense

to check the money on as separate baggage?

[retuning radio from music to news]

[radio] Men were allowed to pass

through the police cordon with their hostages.

The third hostage, who was left behind in the bank,

has been taken to hospital suffering from shock,

but is apparently otherwise unharmed.

The hostage, Miss Jennifer Lewis,

is a lecturer at Faraday University.

A little earlier we spoke to Mrs Dowland,

wife of the manager.

[Mrs Dowland] I asked him if he was all right.

And he said yes, he was.

Not to worry, and not to let the children know.

Aww.

[Mrs Dowland] You never think

it's going to happen to you, do you?

I mean, you read about this-

Poor old mum.

Dowland, you should have given Julia that overdraft.

[Radio] Oscar two three from Central.

Oscar two three.

C 11, info re suspect Tommy Whiskey has family contacts.

address, Fulham, Slough and Byfleet.

Received. Off.

Hey, Gov.

Oscar two three to Central.

Tell me more about Slough, quick.

Do you know something?

You won't need that overdraft after all.

Why not?

You'll be famous after this.

Every television station and newspaper

will pay to do your story.

How I was held hostage by ruthless gangsters.

I can see it now, I really can.

They won't want old Dowland's story,

no sex angle.

Besides, he won't be able to tell him anything will he?

You sure, they're making for his uncle's place?

No, but there must be a change over car somewhere soon.

If those two bastards get to the airport, George,

they're clean away.

[urgent jarring tense piano music]

There she is.

Freedom is a warm Jag.

Ta-da.

You already reserved a ticket?

Oh yeah, this morning.

And tonight, guess where we'll be?

Look who's listening.

Once we've dropped her off.

You're gonna have to say goodbye to the world.

I'll send you a postcard.

Don't know my address.

Care of the bank, silly.

When we get to the airport, I'll drop you off there.

[thud]

Ow!

Ah!

That's what you think!

Barry, shoot the bastard!

[gun shot]

[thuds]

No!

No.

No.

Barry.

Stop!

Argh!

[tires screech]

You was beautiful,

and he- and he killed you.

[police sirens]

I suppose you're going to tell me you didn't fire first.

Check the bullets.

All right.

How did it happen?

It happened the minute you gave in to 'em.

If you'd ordered us to fire when you had the chance,

Dowland would still be alive.

That girl's face wouldn't be scarred for life,

a policeman wouldn't have been smashed up.

And more importantly,

the chances of a villain ever taking hostages again

would be a lot less than they're gonna be now.

This guy, Wands,

was always going to take a piece of the world with him.

Well he certainly took out more than he left in.

He was handed it on a plate.

We gave him his inch, and he took his mile.
