Resync And Corrections By Chuck

Don't go bleeding mad again.

The man wants him hurt, not crippled.

So it's in, out and away, right?

I hate working Friday nights.

Hello, darling, how are you, all right?

Is your dad there?

Yes, please.

You been kipping again?

Thought you black men were full of vitality.

Nah, nah, nothing like that, sunshine.

Thing is, I think I might be due for some aggravation.

[Nightstick Extends]

[ominous funky music]

[thudding]

[Man] Doug!

[Cook] Get the other bastard!

[groaning]

[thudding]

Doug!

Who were they?

Bloody hell, you're fighting giants now.

I've just had a bath and all.

Who you been upsetting then?

Me? Now, how could I upset anyone?

Wait a minute, wait a minute, aint you gonna find out who?

Course I am, only later.

I've got this little lady waiting, remember?

-[sighs] -Uh, uh, uh.

Business is business, eh, sunshine?

The Sweeney Theme

[Jackhammer pounding]

Is that floor gonna look like that one over there?

No, it's going to look like this.

This.

What can I say, Mr. Meadows?

You say nothing.

I pay for efficiency, not excuses.

You and that other gorilla, you blew it.

He sussed it, I dunno--

You blew it, and that's all I'm interested in.

Look, Mr. Meadows, you're out of the game now.

Wanna keep your hands clean, all right?

I can understand that, some nice things going.

So do yourself a favor, you wanna settle with this geezer,

do it some other way, eh?

Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Don't tell me you've finished already.

I was just gonna give you a hand, this one.

Or was it this one?

No, no, no, I tell a lie, it was this one.

Funny, very, very funny.

You know, when I was kid, no one used to lock their door.

What sort of a world are we living in, eh?

Whatever happened to trust?

-Did you get it? -Not yet, nah.

-Why not? -I'm working on it.

Take some advice, eh, work a bit faster.

What's your hurry, eh?

I don't understand, a couple of days,

that's all you said you'd need.

Somebody tried to have you seen to the other night,

do you remember that?

Yes, I remember it most emphatically,

I had one of my best shirts on at the time.

And we have a very good idea who that somebody might be

and why, right?

Possibly, possibly.

Probably, so you get your side of the business

done, and sharpish, or probably, we might lose it.

And even more probably, you might wake up with no kneecaps.

I'm pushing my luck already, son.

Well do yourself a favor and push it a bit faster.

I mean it, Doug, for your sake.

And whose motor's that? That aint yours.

When are you gonna learn not to play with things

that don't belong to you?

When I'm as old as you, I will. Oi!

Jack.

-What's this? -Ticket for tonight's fight.

-What fight? -Uh, what's his name.

Who, Sutherland?

[Haskins] Yes, Sutherland and the American fella.

Fichenso, should be good, just the one, is there?

Cunard Hotel, dinner jackets will be worn.

That is all I need.

Well, you have got a dinner jacket, haven't you?

Yeah, I've also got a pair of pajamas and all.

Look, guv, it may not look obvious,

but I am in need of some kip.

Well why don't you go home early for a change

and get some.

It's a PR job as much as anything else.

It was down to me but something's come up,

I've had to cry off.

-Uh, excuse me? -Yeah, what about George?

He's the fight fan.

Yeah, that's right, I mean, if there's one going.

They want a senior officer.

[Jack] Yeah, well there's plenty of them about,

isn't there?

Will you let me finish for once?

They want a senior officer and I am nominating you.

I am not asking you, Jack.

[Both] I'm telling you.

Free food, free booze, anybody would think

I was breaking your arm.

That is just about all I need.

It can't be all that bad, can it, guv?

A bloody dinner jacket.

The thing is, you get some very tasty sorts at these dos.

10 rounds of sweaty masculinity.

Oh, it can be quite a turn on.

It's a stag do.

[people chattering]

Up goes the window, there she is.

In outside, rest of her inside.

Then this copper's passing by, he goes to her,

parks his bicycle up against the Merc

and says, excuse me, can I do anything for you, madam?

Yes, she says, kiss me, for God sake, kiss me!

[all laughing]

When you're ready, love.

Well, well, well, well.

Hello Raymond.

It is still Raymond, is it?

Jack Regan.

Well they said I'd meet a nice class of person.

I've got a terrible feeling you're about to say

how nice it is to see me.

Oh, you know me Jack, never one to bear a grudge.

Yeah, I know you, Raymond, make it a large Scotch.

Two whiskeys, ice?

One with ice.

So then, they keeping you busy, are they, Jack?

Another day, another dollar.

A lot rougher nowadays, so they tell me.

Oh, yes, criminal classes have gone to the dogs.

[thudding and groaning]

[Referee] Break, break it up, break.

[thudding and groaning]

It's me.

And what's happening then?

Well, look, if it's not convenient.

Well all I'm asking...

Sunday,

are you sure?

Right, well I'll pick her up about three, eh?

Uh, no, no, just give her my love, will you?

I'm a bit tied up.

Yeah, work.

Well, that's me though, innit Kate?

See you Sunday then.

Didn't she wanna know you then?

Just give us a Scotch, will you?

I suppose you're not looking for someone to love, are you?

I found someone.

Don't marry him, it's a mistake.

He's already married.

Aren't we all?

[Raymond] Fancy a nightcap?

Your place or mine?

Mine, I'd like you to see my place, Jack.

Think it might cheer you up a bit.

No thanks.

Not only that, I've got something I wanna tell you.

I think you'll find it worth your while.

Don't waste my time, Raymond.

My time, Jack, I don't waste my time.

I do believe we just had our first row.

I'd just rather go home, that's all.

[Doug] To daddy?

A fact though innit?

What is?

You go on about him, I mean, you say things about him.

But you always go back, don't you?

You could stay the night.

You wanna stay the night, but come the bewitching hour,

off you trot like Cinderella.

You just don't understand, do you?

Jealous, that's all I am.

I really would like to meet your old man,

you know that, Deb.

I mean, you've got to admire him, haven't you?

Oh yeah, you've gotta admire him.

Straight up, I mean, when you think--

Goodnight Dougie.

What do you mean goodnight?

I mean I'm going.

All right, I'll take you.

Not tonight, I'll get a cab.

Okay, I'll put you in a cab.

[Raymond] Nice?

[Jack] Nice.

[Raymond] Sauna, little gym, pool.

[Jack] Gotta keep in trim, eh Raymond?

Look after your body and your body will look after you.

Warm, see, beautiful.

You had something to tell me.

Yeah.

The thing is, you'd have come anyway, Jack.

I mean, [chuckles] you couldn't stay away, could you?

I know what it is about you, you've had elocution lessons.

[laughs] I'll say this for you Jack, you're a good copper.

For all the good it does you.

I mean, how much do you make a year, three, four?

You're forgetting the boot allowance.

Then there's me.

I was good at the game.

Sure, I mean, who wants to be having it off over walls

at the age of 50?

Oh, I cemented my future, saw the light.

Turned it in.

This is what the game has brought me, Jack.

What have you got?

Soar ears, and I wanna go to bed.

If you've got something to say, say it.

Six years ago, Jack, I did my last little tickle.

Little, huh, 300 grand in gold bullion.

You pulled me, quite right, my style.

But you didn't hold me, did you?

Couldn't make it stick, could you, Jack?

You were in the clear.

If I could've proved otherwise, I would've done.

True, Jack, very true, half of it anyway.

One for the road?

Sure, I had a good alibi.

First thing you do, eh, Jack?

Get yourself a good alibi.

You pressurized the wrong man.

Little Billy King was the one you should've gone for.

Little Billy was the one weak link.

And little Billy, would you believe,

is now with his maker.

Oh, he drove that motor of his like a maniac.

I mean, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

So, all in all, Jack, you boobed.

It was all down to me. [chuckles]

150 grand I pulled on that little number.

One, five, O.

And that's what you wanted to tell me, is it?

All this, Jack, is down to you, brother.

So if ever you need a favor, Jack.

Now, kosher, mind.

Don't hesitate, do not hesitate.

Enjoy yourself then?

Did you?

Yeah, yeah, fine.

Oh, this is a friend of mine, Jack.

My little girl, Debbie, Deborah.

Yeah, well, I'm going up now, goodnight then Mr, uh.

Regan.

Well, where were we?

You were telling me a fairy story.

All I need now is a bed.

Stay the night.

How do I get a cab?

Oh, look, what's all this about a cab?

Tommy, oh, bring the car round, will you?

Mr. Regan would like to go home.

[phone ringing]

Yeah?

Listen, I was drunk.

Whatever I said tonight, forget it.

It's already forgotten.

I was just shouting me mouth off,

you know, talking big.

Forget it.

Oh, a ropy fight down the Cunard, by the sound of it.

Governor, look, I've never met the geezer

but it stands to reason, don't it?

He was winding you up.

Yeah, yeah, you said.

Come on, we all know what these comedians are like.

Oh, I bet he loved seeing you there last night

and chucking that sort of crap in your face.

No one got pulled for that job though, did they George?

All right then, he got away with it

if that's what you want.

It's not the first time, is it?

He'll get his comeuppance.

Something terrible might happen to him.

Like what?

Well, I dunno, the council might double his rates.

Look, don't worry about it.

Whatever way you cut it,

he went out of his way to tell me.

He was drunk, you said so yourself.

How drunk, though, eh?

Look, he knows you, don't he?

Well he'd be out of his skull to open

this particular can of beans, if there was something in it.

Well that's just it,

he knows me and yet he still tells me,

why?

I dunno, but six years later, what can you do about it?

Your stomach must be lined with zinc.

Always good eaters, my family.

Look after your body.

[Both] And your body will look after you.

Yeah.

♪ "Concerto No 1" by Tchaikovsky ♪

I shan't want you 'til four o'clock.

[Driver] Yes, sir, very good.

What you got on today?

[Driver] Just to collect that stuff from the airport,

nothing else.

I want you to do some shopping for me.

[Driver] Oh yes, sir?

[Raymond] Present for someone.

Oh, very good, sir.

[Haskins] All right, Jack, so what are you saying?

I'm saying I want him put back on the target list.

-Why? -I've just told you why.

Have you got anything to show that he's at it?

One positive little shred?

No, nothing, you're not seriously saying you wanna

reopen a case that's six years old, are you?

I dunno, maybe.

If you couldn't nick him then,

what the hell makes you think you can nick him now?

Drunk, talking big, shouting his mouth off.

Call it what you like, I know he's up to something.

All you know is that your ego has been taking a bashing.

That's nothing to do with it!

You've got nothing.

But just give me a couple of days!

You've got better things to do.

Tell him, George.

Well, I mean, with all due respect,

I can understand the aggro,

but I've gotta agree with the governor.

We haven't got a whole bundle to go on, have we?

Yeah, thanks.

Don't sit on it Jack, it's a waste of time, right?

You can't win them all, guv.

You can, you crawling bastard.

[dog barking]

All right, I shouldn't shout, I shouldn't lose my temper.

But I don't mean to, you know that, don't you?

I don't mean to.

You always lose your temper.

All right, so we've had a little row.

But that doesn't mean I don't love you, does it?

[ice-cream truck tune playing]

Fancy an ice-cream?

Tell you what, we'll make a pact.

No more arguing, not about anything, all right?

Okay.

["Concerto No 1" by Tchaikovsky]

[music intensifies]

Meadows!

[Raymond] How did you know I was here?

How do you know where I go?

So, what can I do for you?

I owe you.

What's all this then?

I don't take presents, neither does my family.

[Raymond] It's only a few pounds, Jack.

I mean, I've got it, maybe you haven't.

You heard, Raymond.

But why do your daughter out of a present?

She's got a present.

[Raymond] Like I said, I owe you a favor.

You reckon?

Look upon it as a little gesture of friendship then.

[Jack] It doesn't suit you, anymore than the hat does.

Oh, [chuckles] well, a man's gotta protect himself.

[Jack] You got it, Raymond.

Yeah, yeah okay.

Doubt it.

All right, yeah.

So?

So what we already knew, he's clean.

Not only is he clean, he's spotless.

As far as they know.

As far as C11 are concerned, he's absolutely kosher.

Meadows? He's about as kosher as butter on a ham sandwich.

Look, he's had no contacts.

I mean, not only with his old firm, no one.

When did they last check?

Yeah, all right, guv.

Years ago, right?

-So what now then? -So we have a look at him.

[George] Never fancied a Roller myself.

Oh yeah?

Put the Rolls in the garage, James.

I'll butter them later.

[chuckles]

Eh?

I'll butter, I made a joke. [laughs]

Oh yeah?

Yeah.

What does Haskins think we're doing?

Hobnobbing down the Mile End Road.

[George] Hello, now a sports car, I wouldn't mind.

I wouldn't say no to her either, as it happens.

That's Debbie, Deborah, his daughter.

Fair sort she was, his missus.

She did herself in.

When was that?

The time we had him in for that last job.

Yeah, she went down to some little hotel in Bournemouth,

whiskey, sleeping pills, goodnight Vienna.

Must have shaken him up a bit.

I thought I had him then, I really thought I had him.

Couple of days later, shook it off, like it never happened.

I mean, you could see the shutters coming down.

See him forcing it out of his mind.

They ever find out why she did it?

Villain's wife, years of being knocked up

in the middle of the night.

Old man in and out of the nick.

Trying to bring up a kid, give it a decent start.

It's bad enough being married to a copper.

But for them, well, you gotta be a bloody rock, I suppose.

Poor old Annie obviously wasn't.

Yeah, now look at him, given the game up

and worth a fortune.

Yeah.

Sad.

[funky harmonica-ridden electronic music]

[George] Now there's a face I know.

Where do I know you from, sonny Jim?

Want a smudge?

Yeah, yeah, let's immortalize him, whoever he is.

[camera clicking]

I thought I told you not to bother with him.

Just read that, guv, please.

[Haskins] Owen, Douglas Walter.

Well, he's not exactly big time, is he?

He's a working villain, that's enough.

[Haskins] Been pulled in a few times,

couple of minor convictions.

He's a working villain and there's a connection

with Meadows, that's all I need to know.

All right, see what you can find out.

Jack, Meadows knows you, he knows you'll be sniffing around.

Turning up his connection with Owen.

He's handing it to you on a plate.

Now, what's his game?

Like you say, guv, it's up to me to find out.

Well you never listen to one word I say.

I can't talk, I can't give you any advice, nothing.

I mean, I'm entitled to an opinion, aren't I?

For God sake, I am entitled to an opinion.

Look, all I care about is your happiness.

He is no good for you, he's a lowlife, a nothing a ganef!

A villain.

[Raymond] Yeah, a villain, and believe me I know.

Who better?

Look, what I done in the past is gone, finished.

What I do now, I do for you.

You're all I care about in the world, I swear it.

I know, you've told me often enough.

But why do you do it, Debbie, why do you try and hurt me?

You'd do anything to protect little me, wouldn't you?

I love you.

Oh yeah, like you loved my mother,

and look what you did to her.

[Man] Beautiful dog that is, Jack.

[Jack] Too skinny for my taste.

Hey, look at that line, poetry that is.

Thought that sort of person was supposed to wear a muzzle.

Yeah, there you go again, always thinking like a copper.

Yeah, I know, baffling, aint it?

So what you got for me?

Well, he's keeping the right company.

The little firm building up?

Yeah.

It's no one big, just good, straightforward tradesmen.

Any whispers to what they're after?

Well looking at the firm,

I'd say it was some kind of a break in.

You know, most likely where there's a safe to be opened.

[Jack] Who's the peterman?

[Man] Roland Holder, he's a West Indian.

[Jack] Don't know him.

[Man] Yeah, he runs a little car repair outfit

with his younger brother, Lambert Grove.

[bird squawks]

What's this?

What's it look like?

I'm calling him Paddy after you.

Do you know, sometimes I think you aint got a brain

up there, I think you've got a comic book.

He don't have rabbit, you blackies.

You better and all, son.

Look, what we need is that, not that.

Haven't you ever heard of the credibility gap?

I mean, what a lady gonna say if she happen

to find a budgie food and there aint no budgie, eh man?

Move, baby.

Doesn't look like your friend Raymond

is coming home tonight, does it, guv?

Nah, he'll be down the golf club, won't he?

Poncing about in his cheque trousers.

I'm thinking of taking up golf.

It's about time I did something to mutilate my image.

Hold up.

[upbeat country music]

What's his game, then?

Oh, don't tell me we've got the wrong connection.

-I said-- -I heard.

They've had two meets this week.

One at Owen's place and one in a boozer in Paddington.

Yeah, that was with the fella, Lynch.

So that's three known faces and one mystery.

Two, if you count Holder's brother.

So that makes them, what, four-handed, maybe five.

Yeah, that's about the size of it, guv.

Well, there's obviously something on, aint there?

It's where and when though, innit, guv?

[Jack] Terrific, George, terrific.

-I think there's-- -Right, thanks.

One thing's for certain though,

no way is there any tie-up with Meadows.

Only the daughter.

[Jack] Yeah, only the daughter.

[George] Hello, so little Debbie's got the keys

to the castle, has she?

[Jack] Just the sort of girlfriend a fella like Owen

would appreciate.

[George] You don't think he's gonna turn

over a drapers shop, do you?

He's a villain and she's got an in.

You'd think about it.

Well yeah, of course you would.

You can see it, can't you?

Here, darling, do you want some cheap curtains

off the back of a lorry? [chuckles]

Tick, tick, tick, can almost hear his mind going round.

Oh, come on, guv, it's not his style, is it?

Up a bit eh, they're up a bit.

[laughing]

George has been over to the local nick

and had a word with the collator about

what sort of stuff they carry.

What's their security like?

Well, usual alarms, doors and windows,

built-in safe, but nothing spectacular.

And according to him, they never carry less

than 25,000 to 30,000.

You're not saying that he set up with the girl

just to get at the diamonds, are you?

I mean, if it's the diamonds that he's after.

Well it could be but I doubt it.

Let's look at it from the other point of view.

He meets the girl, starts going around with her,

meets her from work, clocks the diamond place next door,

files it away up here.

Then when he finds out she's got the keys,

well, let's face it guv, any half decent villain

couldn't resist it, could he?

That still leaves us with Meadows,

and if he is up to something,

he's not going to involve his daughter, is he?

No.

I, uh, just waiting for Debbie.

[Raymond] You're seeing a lot of her lately.

You say that like you don't approve, Mr. Meadows.

I don't know you, why should I disapprove?

That's right, Mr. Meadows, that's absolutely right.

You don't like me, do you?

[Raymond] I don't think about you.

-Think about me now. -She could do better.

Why don't you tell her that?

[Raymond] Not for me to say.

You just said it to me.

You don't count.

Anyway, a girl like Debbie, you put your foot down,

she treads all over you.

With a girl like Debbie you've gotta use the old

velvet gloves, know what I mean?

I mean, let's face it, you and me speak pretty much the same

sort of language.

Oh, admitted, I haven't got all the fancy trappings,

but then you worked for them, didn't you, Mr. Meadows?

Debbie knows all about me,

if that's what you're trying to say.

Just passing time.

Someone tried to have me worked over,

couple or three weeks back.

Hmm.

Couple of tranquilized gorillas.

It would appear that someone does not like me.

Don't know who, life's too short, et cetera, et cetera.

There are rumors of course, but who listens to rumors?

Eh, Mr. Meadows?

Cup of coffee?

Oi, do you want a cup of coffee?

Here, look, he's smiling.

-Is he? -Straight up, look.

Here, hang about, he's got a tooth missing.

You are, you're an idiot.

This isn't your corner garden budgie, you know.

This is a hunting bird, a falcon in drag.

Look at those eyes, killers eyes those are.

He wouldn't muck about, would you, mate?

Pounce, pounce, got you.

You take life too serious, you know that, don't you?

So you've had a few knocks, you've gotta move on.

Don't let it get to you.

[Deborah] Nothing worries you, does it?

You worry me.

[Deborah] I don't suppose you even think of me

when I'm not with you.

Strangely enough, that isn't true.

Don't disturb the animal at feeding time.

Go on, go and have your shower.

Why don't I move in with you?

-Terrific. -Why not?

Because.

Why not?

Who's a clever boy then?

Doing anything next Saturday, guv?

What?

Something for your diary.

Owen just bought himself a ticket to Dublin.

When for?

First flight out Sunday morning.

It's Saturday night then?

Yeah, well there's no need for you to bother, guv.

I'll look after it, you've probably got a, what,

a ladies night at the lodge or something.

No, I just thought you ought to have it in your diary.

[Haskins] I prefer you when you're depressed.

How's your daughter, guv?

She's got a cold, why?

They worry the life out of you, don't they, kids?

And what the hell's that got to do with anything?

Just about everything, I reckon.

Saturday night, after the shop's shut.

May I join you Raymond?

You can't beat a nice cup of tea.

You didn't come here just to drink my tea.

No.

We're two of a kind, you and me, Raymond.

You reckon?

In some ways, yeah.

Good copper, good villain, similar sort of mind.

Different side of the game, but similar sort of mind.

And the same sort of problems.

I've got no problems.

What's your trouble?

Think about it, you and me.

Both lost our wives 'cause of the game we're in.

Both got daughters, both scared of losing them.

Kids, eh, Raymond, tear your heart out.

Whatever you do, you do it wrong.

Especially a fella on his own, eh?

Time for you to go and clock off.

Do everything you can for her

and she ends up running around with a second-rate villain.

Just to spite the old man, eh, Raymond?

So what do you do, how do you warn her off?

How do you tell her that if she carries on like this,

the chances are she's gonna end up like her mother?

Six out of 10 for trying.

I can do better than that, Raymond,

which is just about how you figured it.

Is it?

You can't get him off her back.

So maybe I can do it for you.

All you had to do was wind me up

and point me in the right direction.

Very good.

That's a winner, my old son.

I cop the baddy and you ride off into the sunset

with the heroine.

How would I know he was up to something

for you to pull him?

Raymond, Raymond, he's a working villain.

So he's either planning or doing.

You'd know that, so would I.

Just a question of wait and see.

So wait and see.

Oh, uh, by the way, Raymond, that bullion job.

It was down to you, wasn't it?

Don't worry, Jack, everyone makes mistakes.

Yeah.

I owe you a favor.

Oh, that's right, yeah, I was forgetting.

So now you owe me a little something.

Yeah, yeah I do, don't I?

I can't get out of it, love,

you know what it's like, family.

Monday some time, I'll give you a buzz soon as I'm back.

Yeah, yeah, ta-ra, love.

It's a tough old life, eh, Paddy?

Look, all I did was buy her a doll.

I can buy my daughter a little present, can't I?

What?

All right, a big present, that's me, flash.

I am not trying to spoil her.

I am not trying to upset anything.

All I--

Yep.

Yep.

Understood.

Somewhat difficult to explain, eh, guv?

Shut up.

Oscar two four to all units.

[upbeat country music]

Cheeky bastards.

All right, nip off 'til I get on the blower.

[loud drilling]

[door opens

and closes]

[Deborah singing to herself]

Come on, come on.

West Ham are on the box tonight.

Right, let's be having them.

Right, let's be having you.

Right, park up 'til I tell you.

[gas hisses]

[crackling]

Owen's down to me right?

Yeah, all right, guv, all right.

Right then, guv.

Hang about.

I wanna be absolutely sure of this little firm.

Right.

Here we go.
