0:02:11 > 0:02:12Come.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Detective Chief Superintendant Butler, sir.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25I hope you can explain the bloody shambles of this so far, Butler.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30Because your Commander Hatherill has singularly failed in that respect.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32And now he wants to put you in charge.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35I'll be running the investigation a little differently, sir.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Millen tells me you're known as "One Day".

0:02:37 > 0:02:40Because that's how long it takes you to catch criminals.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44I wouldn't know about that.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47You understand whose money these blackguards stole?

0:02:47 > 0:02:49The bank's, sir.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53The Queen, man! Her Majesty's Mail.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57Every single note bears the likeness of our sovereign.

0:02:57 > 0:02:58This is not just a robbery.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01This is an attack on the very cornerstone of England.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06And you, Butler, better remedy that very rapidly indeed.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07I'll do my best, sir.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11I have to assure the PM you're the man for the job.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15Otherwise, it'll be my job, my judgment that will be questioned.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19And I do not plan on having my judgment questioned, Butler.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21There's been quite enough of that already.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Quite so, sir.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Right, I'm putting you in charge of the investigation,

0:03:26 > 0:03:30but I shall expect immediate progress, One Day.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34Of course, sir.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03(ON RADIO) 'And now an update on the mail train robbery.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07'Despite the Postmaster General offering a £10,000 reward

0:04:07 > 0:04:09'to the first person giving information

0:04:09 > 0:04:11'leading to the apprehension and conviction

0:04:11 > 0:04:13'of the persons responsible for the robbery,

0:04:13 > 0:04:16'police have as yet failed to make any arrests.'

0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Tom.- Afternoon, sir.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Do they know?- Not yet.

0:04:28 > 0:04:29As you've probably heard,

0:04:29 > 0:04:33the Prime Minister is yelling at the Home Secretary,

0:04:33 > 0:04:35the Home Secretary's yelling at the Postmaster General,

0:04:35 > 0:04:37and all of them are yelling at me.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40We need this fixed, Tom. Very fast.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Mr Millen. Can I ask what you're doing here?

0:04:44 > 0:04:46- Who are you?- Daily Express.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49What the hell are you doing here?

0:04:49 > 0:04:50DCS Butler, isn't it?

0:04:52 > 0:04:55You've got the national press in the middle of your incident room.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57There's been a huge amount of interest.

0:04:57 > 0:05:02We are five days on. Why don't we know who's responsible?

0:05:02 > 0:05:06We've given C11 a list of nicknames the thieves used.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08We're waiting for the results.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11In the meantime, we've got roadblocks across the county.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14The thieves told the train staff not move for half an hour,

0:05:14 > 0:05:16so we're searching a radius of 30 miles.

0:05:16 > 0:05:17Where did you start?

0:05:19 > 0:05:20Pardon?

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Did you search outward from the crime scene or inwards from the 30-mile perimeter?

0:05:27 > 0:05:28Outwards from the scene.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32- It's all very well in hindsight... - All right, Malcolm.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36All the indications are this is a London gang.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38You only have jurisdiction up to the county line.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42As of now, the Flying Squad, DCS Butler here, runs this case.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43What about us?

0:05:43 > 0:05:46You'll run the operation, paperwork,

0:05:46 > 0:05:48the exhibits and the press. I don't talk to the press.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50We'll nick them and bring them to you.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53It won't just land in your lap.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55KNOCK AT DOOR

0:05:55 > 0:05:56Come!

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Sir, we've had a tip-off. Call from a local farmer.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01We think he might have found the hideout.

0:06:25 > 0:06:2727 miles from where the train was stopped.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Not visible from the road. Perfect hideout.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Don't let anyone in other than a police officer.- Sir.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Stay on this spot till you're told otherwise.- Yes, sir.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35'How much is it?'

0:07:35 > 0:07:42'£2,631,784...'

0:07:42 > 0:07:43CHEERING

0:07:48 > 0:07:50'Is there any grub left, please? I'm starving.'

0:07:56 > 0:07:58'Get rid of any signs it was ever here.'

0:08:04 > 0:08:06'I didn't think we'd nick that much, did I?

0:08:06 > 0:08:09'It wasn't supposed to be the crime of the bleeding century!'

0:08:16 > 0:08:17'They're looking for military.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20'We're making it look like a brick van.'

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Afternoon, sir.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Afternoon, Tom. Hope they left me some nice dabs.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46Lot to do, Maurice. First-class job mandatory.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51I'll make sure you have whatever you need. I don't want to be at trial

0:08:51 > 0:08:53and hear you wanted another week or three more men.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Whatever you get here has to convict those bastards.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Job like this must have been planned down to the last inch.

0:09:04 > 0:09:05But it's a mess in there.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Why leave the place in a state like this? What happened here?

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Any idea who's behind it?

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Not yet.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Well, gentlemen, shall we get started?

0:09:33 > 0:09:35- How many do you want?- Six.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39- Six. Sure six is enough? Big job. - Sure.

0:09:40 > 0:09:41And who do you want?

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Frank Williams and Steve Moore.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Jack Slipper and his DS, Nevill.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Tommy Thorburn.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55And Lou Van Dyck.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Sid Bradbury to run the office.

0:10:15 > 0:10:16We're five days behind

0:10:16 > 0:10:19and we haven't even started.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Talk to your informants.

0:10:21 > 0:10:22Who was away those days?

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Who's been missing since?

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Who's been keeping an unusually low profile? Snouts will know.

0:10:29 > 0:10:34The whole squad is ready to give priority to train robbery enquiries.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37If you need something, you'll get it. If you don't, tell me.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Why are we the chosen ones?

0:10:40 > 0:10:43It's a London job. Most likely south of the river.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47You lot know the manors, the characters, the histories.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49You've got the contacts.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52This'll come down to information on the street.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54How is our list of suspects?

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Right now, a yard long.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59MacArthur's tipped off C11 with a list of nicknames.

0:10:59 > 0:11:00They're working on it.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02If you believe what you read in the papers,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05it's an aristocratic loner IRA mastermind...

0:11:05 > 0:11:08I don't want to hear about the papers ever.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Sid here will run the office.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Log the calls, the leads.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Maurice Ray is on forensics at Leatherslade Farm.

0:11:18 > 0:11:23Early turn is officially 9am till 5pm.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27I'll expect you here till at least 10.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Late turn is 2pm to 10pm. I'll expect you started by 9.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Yeah, nice one. Huh!

0:11:32 > 0:11:34You think I'm joking?

0:11:34 > 0:11:37You try turning up late and see where your bollocks end up.

0:11:38 > 0:11:39Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41This was a large gang.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46We will nick every single one of them.

0:11:47 > 0:11:48Starting now.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54INDISTINCT CHATTER

0:12:00 > 0:12:03# Well, my pad is very messy and there's whiskers on my chin

0:12:03 > 0:12:07# And I'm all hung up on music and I always play to win

0:12:07 > 0:12:11# I ain't got no time for loving cos my time is all used up

0:12:11 > 0:12:14# Just sitting around creating all that groovy kind of stuff

0:12:14 > 0:12:18# Well, I'm a man, yes, I am

0:12:18 > 0:12:20# And I can't help but love you so

0:12:20 > 0:12:22# No, no, no

0:12:22 > 0:12:25# Well, I'm a man, yes, I am

0:12:25 > 0:12:27# And I can't help but love you so

0:12:27 > 0:12:28# Oh, no, no, no, yes, I am

0:12:28 > 0:12:30# No, no, no...#

0:12:33 > 0:12:3519. 19 names, sir.

0:12:37 > 0:12:3811.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Four.

0:12:41 > 0:12:42Nine.

0:12:42 > 0:12:4317.

0:12:45 > 0:12:4632.

0:12:46 > 0:12:4932?

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Very enthusiastic snout.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54My snout reckons criminal activity's all but at a standstill.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58Lots of pissed off villains out there, cos we're all over them.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Cross-reference the names, Sid, and see which ones come up most.

0:13:01 > 0:13:02What about your list, Guv'nor?

0:13:04 > 0:13:06The one from C11. You were checking the results.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Whose name's on that list?

0:13:12 > 0:13:14John Thomas Daly,

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Douglas Gordon Goody,

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Roy John James,

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Bruce Richard Reynolds,

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Charles Frederick Wilson.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Bloody Reynolds. Makes sense.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Sense of what? - We've been tailing him for a while.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33Had him marked as being involved in safe-blowing raids.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35We picked up a mate of his, Billy Still, a while back.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Past few months, Reynolds has been going out on a motorbike.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41- Buckinghamshire direction. - Whereabouts in Buckinghamshire?

0:13:41 > 0:13:43We never found out. Whenever he was on the bike,

0:13:43 > 0:13:45we couldn't tail him without being spotted.

0:13:45 > 0:13:46How long ago was this?

0:13:46 > 0:13:49Six months. Maybe longer.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52We fancied him for the airport robbery at Comet House and all.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Who does he meet?

0:13:54 > 0:13:55Goody, Wilson, James.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59All part of the same firm. South London boys.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Frank, bring me everything you've got on Reynolds.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Let's have those names, boys.

0:14:08 > 0:14:09Right.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Early 30s, Battersea boy.

0:14:14 > 0:14:18Got an interest in an antiques business, but that's just a front.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20What's his form?

0:14:20 > 0:14:22In and out of trouble since he was a lad.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26House-breaking, shop-breaking, two stints in borstal.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Lasted four days on National Service before scarpering.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Ended up in Wandsworth.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Various thefts, more time in the scrubs.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35What sort of thefts?

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Handbags, two overcoats,

0:14:37 > 0:14:40eight pairs of slippers and a portable wireless.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42What was his last conviction?

0:14:43 > 0:14:4530th May this year. Poaching.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Poaching?- Yeah. £10 fine, Ongar Magistrates Court.

0:14:49 > 0:14:54£10? And you think he fixed up the train robbery? Give it here!

0:14:54 > 0:14:57Yeah, but the thing is, he was only ever nicked for small stuff.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00But he's got a reputation for classier stuff.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Odds on he was part of the BOAC airport raid,

0:15:02 > 0:15:04maybe even the ringleader.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06We were told that him and his firm were planning something.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08That's why we put a tail on him.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10One question, then.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15If this Reynolds was the potential ringleader of the airport robbery

0:15:15 > 0:15:18and if you think he was the brains behind the train robbery

0:15:18 > 0:15:19and if you had a tail on him,

0:15:19 > 0:15:21how come we haven't got a bloody clue where he is?

0:15:24 > 0:15:28I want him in my cells, Frank, now. Get on it! Go on!

0:15:28 > 0:15:29Yes, sir.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Are you sure you don't recognise anyone?

0:15:52 > 0:15:55No.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57- Is that the train driver?- Yeah.

0:15:57 > 0:15:58He's not picking anyone out.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02Says it was too dark and they were wearing balaclavas.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04That would make things difficult.

0:16:04 > 0:16:08Poor sod. Taking a whack like that for doing his job.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Have you checked known addresses for Reynolds and his firm?

0:16:10 > 0:16:13- No sign of any of them.- Good.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Nothing says guilty like a disappearing act.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Mugshots of suspects up there.- Sir.

0:16:27 > 0:16:28How'd they get hold of that farm?

0:16:30 > 0:16:35Mr Field, Leonard Field, came to me...

0:16:35 > 0:16:40Ooh, I'd say on or about 21st June this year.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42He had the particulars of sale from Midland Marts,

0:16:42 > 0:16:45the agents for Mr Rixon, the vendor.

0:16:45 > 0:16:49I did the conveyancing for Leatherslade Farm. It's all here.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53Your clerk, Brian Field, introduced Leonard Field to your firm?

0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Yes.- But they're not related.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59No. No. No relation at all.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02Complete coincidence. I suppose you could say it's a funny thing.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05How did Brian Field know Leonard Field?

0:17:05 > 0:17:09I believe they met in connection with the trial of Harry Field,

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Leonard's brother, over horse doping.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Would you have expected Brian Field

0:17:13 > 0:17:17to view Leatherslade Farm with Leonard Field prior to purchase?

0:17:17 > 0:17:20- No.- Yet he did.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23The owner, Mrs Rixon, has a very clear memory of it.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26Unusual for a solicitor to accompany a buyer on a first viewing.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29Perhaps Mr Field wanted a second opinion.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35Leonard Field paid the deposit money to you.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37£555 in cash.

0:17:37 > 0:17:38Which you then paid to Midland Marts.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40Standard procedure.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Did you issue Mr Leonard Field with a receipt?

0:17:45 > 0:17:46A what, sorry?

0:17:47 > 0:17:49A receipt for the transaction.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51I don't see one in this file here.

0:17:51 > 0:17:52Do you know, I can't remember.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56You wrote to the vendor's agent

0:17:56 > 0:17:59requesting vacant possession of Leatherslade Farm

0:17:59 > 0:18:04- upon exchange of contracts rather than completion.- I did.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07Possession normally occurs on completion, not exchange.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Why was this different?

0:18:09 > 0:18:12The purchaser wanted to carry out extensive redecoration.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15He wanted to start as soon as possible.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19And you signed the contract on Leonard Field's behalf.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21He didn't sign it at all.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24All absolutely legal.

0:18:24 > 0:18:29You represented Gordon Goody at his trial for the BOAC airport robbery.

0:18:29 > 0:18:34I believe we did. And that he was acquitted.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52PC Milner?

0:18:52 > 0:18:53Afternoon, sir. Exhibits officer.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Aylesbury sent me. They said you needed help.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Yes. This whole area needs scouring.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Look around, see what you can find, lay it out.

0:19:01 > 0:19:06Any prints, palms, fingers, boots or feet, let me know.

0:19:06 > 0:19:07Right, sir.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Yes, sir.

0:19:11 > 0:19:12Carry on.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23Good lad.

0:20:56 > 0:20:57Mrs Clarke?

0:20:57 > 0:21:00- Yes? - We've come about the garage to rent.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02We rang earlier.

0:21:02 > 0:21:03Saw the ad in the newsagents on Castle Road.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Yes. Do you live locally?

0:21:05 > 0:21:08No, but we're often in Bournemouth on business - it's ideal for us.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11Oh, no. I'd prefer to rent to people from the area, really.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13What about if we agreed a slightly higher price

0:21:13 > 0:21:15than you mentioned in the advert?

0:21:15 > 0:21:16Oh, I don't know.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Three months in advance? That would all be in cash.

0:21:20 > 0:21:25That's what? £7, 10 shillings all upfront.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Now.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28Let me get you the key.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33Roger Cordrey, florist from Brighton.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35And Mr William Boal.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39- Yes.- Now the woman who owns the garage is a policeman's widow.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41So as soon as they'd gone, she called in.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44We went down to the garage, they scarpered separately.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47We chased them down and brought them in.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Did they leave anything in the garage?

0:21:49 > 0:21:54They did. Austin A35 van. Boal had the keys on him.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56And we found this inside.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00Bloody hell! Did you count it?

0:22:00 > 0:22:03£56,047. In ones and fives.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Those are the keys Boal had on him when he was arrested.

0:22:06 > 0:22:07There's an address here.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Where'd the money in the suitcase come from, Roger?

0:22:14 > 0:22:16Fella I met at Brighton Races.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18- Name?- Freddie.

0:22:18 > 0:22:19Freddie what?

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Just Freddie.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23- You met him before? - No.

0:22:23 > 0:22:24Seen him since?

0:22:24 > 0:22:25No.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27And he gave you all this cash.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Yes.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31You best tell him we've got it, then, hadn't you.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Got an address?

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Is everything all right?

0:22:36 > 0:22:37Yeah, fine.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39You don't look fine.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42Back pain.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Friend Freddie give you anything else to look after?

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Got any other vehicles in the area?

0:22:48 > 0:22:50No.

0:22:50 > 0:22:56So the Rover 105R, registration TLX279

0:22:56 > 0:23:00that we found at Miss Saunders' house in Ensbury Avenue an hour ago,

0:23:00 > 0:23:03is that Freddie's...or yours?

0:23:03 > 0:23:06Your mate Boal had the key on his keyring.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09The six suitcases we found inside,

0:23:09 > 0:23:14containing £78,982 in used banknotes.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17Is that Freddie's...or yours?

0:23:18 > 0:23:21Wimborne Road, you're staying. Above the florist.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27The brown briefcase there...

0:23:27 > 0:23:30with £5,060

0:23:30 > 0:23:32in £5 and £1 notes.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Freddie's? Yours?

0:23:36 > 0:23:40The £840 in the bedroom under the pillow.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42That Freddie's?

0:23:42 > 0:23:46And the £160, 3 shillings and threepence that you had on you

0:23:46 > 0:23:48when they brought you in, is that Freddie's too?

0:23:48 > 0:23:55In total, £141,218, 1 shilling and threepence halfpenny.

0:23:55 > 0:23:59Freddie's a figment, Cordrey. It's all yours.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Where did you get it?

0:24:05 > 0:24:06It's from the train robbery.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Who else was on the job?

0:24:16 > 0:24:18I never said I was on the job.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Only that's where the money's from.

0:24:24 > 0:24:25And that's all you get.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27HE INHALES SHARPLY

0:24:28 > 0:24:30What's the matter man, you got worms?

0:24:32 > 0:24:33I've got a key.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Up me jacksie.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39You've got a what up your where?

0:24:39 > 0:24:41I shoved it up there when they first brought me in.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43It's for the flat in Wimborne Road.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48I didn't think Bill would give his up. I think it's stuck.

0:24:50 > 0:24:51Can you get a doctor?

0:24:53 > 0:24:55HE EXHALES SHARPLY

0:24:58 > 0:25:01This'll put the wind up them. Front page this morning.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05What's that?

0:25:05 > 0:25:06What's what?

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Cordrey's Brighton.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Reynolds is South London. That's at least two firms.

0:25:14 > 0:25:15That makes sense.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18Witnesses on the train said there could have been 20 blokes.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Mark up anyone associated with Cordrey

0:25:21 > 0:25:24and anyone associated with Reynolds.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27Then check against that new list you've just been writing.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28It's not a list, Frank.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49DOORS SLAM

0:25:49 > 0:25:52You going straight in? We've been working all night.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55It's nearly 9. Early turn starts in 7 minutes.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06I hope you're going to make me happy.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08It's my mission in life, Tom.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Over here.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14The whole place was cleaned down.

0:26:14 > 0:26:18But whoever was there, left quite a bit behind.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20We're working slowly.

0:26:20 > 0:26:24So far, thumb marks, finger marks, left palm prints, right palm prints.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Ian hasn't even started on the utensils

0:26:26 > 0:26:27and the food containers yet.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29That's going to take a fair while longer.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31So these prints are just one person?

0:26:31 > 0:26:34No. Different.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Definitely not just one person.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39All that planning. They leave these bits behind.

0:26:39 > 0:26:40Thank God they did.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Well, at least now we've got the prints,

0:26:42 > 0:26:45we can start working through possible matches.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47That's a long job, though.

0:26:48 > 0:26:53Start with these names. Keep the list to yourself.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Make sure those are carefully logged.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01We're searching for hairs, fibres and bloodstains.

0:27:01 > 0:27:05Any items giving positive presumptive tests will be retained.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08So you'll want hair samples from anyone we bring in.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Head and pubic.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12We found hairs in sleeping bags and a pair of underpants.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Find a match...

0:27:14 > 0:27:16We'd have them by the short and curlies.

0:27:16 > 0:27:17- KNOCK AT DOOR - Come in.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Oh, sorry, sir...sirs!

0:27:21 > 0:27:23More evidence from the farm, is it?

0:27:23 > 0:27:26Yellow paint found by the vehicles, we think used to paint them.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Put it there, Milner. I'll look at it later.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34DOOR CLATTERS SHUT

0:27:34 > 0:27:36OK. Let me know what else you can find.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25Yes, I know, love, but I can't do anything about it.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27We've got everyone breathing down our necks.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29We can't clock off early, can we?

0:28:29 > 0:28:32Plenty of tip-offs coming through. These are the ones that look kosher.

0:28:32 > 0:28:33Lovely. Cheers, Sid.

0:28:33 > 0:28:34Really?

0:28:34 > 0:28:38Well, you tell him from me, that he owes Jack Slipper a big favour.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40Yeah. Where do you want to meet?

0:28:40 > 0:28:41Time?

0:28:52 > 0:28:54KNOCK AT DOOR

0:28:56 > 0:28:58I'm taking the lads down the Red Lion before home.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00Morale booster for the long hours. Do you fancy it?

0:29:00 > 0:29:02Work to do.

0:29:02 > 0:29:03HE SIGHS

0:29:05 > 0:29:07Something bothering you, Frank?

0:29:11 > 0:29:14Why did you bring me in on this if you don't trust me?

0:29:15 > 0:29:16Who says I don't trust you?

0:29:16 > 0:29:18They told me working for you would be like this,

0:29:18 > 0:29:20but I didn't believe them.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22An investigation lives on information.

0:29:22 > 0:29:23Shared information.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25Otherwise, we can't do our job.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28But you, you keep everything close to your chest. Why?

0:29:29 > 0:29:33You're the best informed officer in South London, Frank.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35Because you drink in the same pubs as these villains.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37You talk to the same people.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40But the wrong bit of chat, just accidental,

0:29:40 > 0:29:42all our work would be blown open.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44Is that what you think of me?

0:29:44 > 0:29:48I've had cases destroyed by one stray word. Not here.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54My snouts give me tip-offs. Never the other way round.

0:29:54 > 0:29:56I am bringing you first class information.

0:29:56 > 0:29:58And you are giving me nothing.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01Not your top names, not what evidence is coming in.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04You won't even come for a bloody drink!

0:30:04 > 0:30:08You are leading a squad, Tom. A squad works best together.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10Lads will be waiting for you, Frank.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23- Come on. He's not coming. - Out of the way, lad.

0:30:33 > 0:30:36PUB CHATTER

0:30:44 > 0:30:47Right, here we go.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51He frightens the flipping life out of me.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54When I see him looking, I think, "What's he going to shout at me now for?"

0:30:54 > 0:30:57- You walked into that working hours one.- Don't he have a home to go to?

0:30:57 > 0:31:00They reckon the Yard IS his home. Cheers.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02- Cheers.- Cheers.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Are you all right, sir?

0:31:05 > 0:31:08Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cheers, lads.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42TYPING

0:32:00 > 0:32:04Drop me off here, Jock. I'll walk the rest of the way.

0:32:04 > 0:32:09- I wouldn't want the engine to wake her. Night.- Good night, sir.

0:32:50 > 0:32:55Leave your details with the constable, thank you.

0:32:55 > 0:33:01So, Mr Ahern was giving Mrs Hargreaves

0:33:01 > 0:33:06her regular lift to work when his motorbike engine cut out.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09So they decided to go for a walk in the woods while it cooled down.

0:33:09 > 0:33:13Which is where they spotted this.

0:33:17 > 0:33:22- £100,900 sir.- Roughly the same amount as Cordrey had. Little bit less.

0:33:22 > 0:33:25So that's how they're dividing it, hundred grand each.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28But whose was it? What was it doing in those woods?

0:33:28 > 0:33:31Well, Morris and his men in white coats have lifted 13 prints,

0:33:31 > 0:33:35in the fingerprint department. But we found something even better.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38A receipt from a restaurant in Hindelang, West Germany.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42It's dated February this year. The receipt is made out to...

0:33:42 > 0:33:45Herr and Frau Field.

0:33:45 > 0:33:52- Brian Field, employee of your friendly solicitor, John Wheater. - Good.

0:33:52 > 0:33:56Mr Field, you arranged the purchase of Leatherslade Farm?

0:33:56 > 0:33:59If I had known it was going to turn out to be such a rum do,

0:33:59 > 0:34:03- I wouldn't have done the conveyancing. - Of course you wouldn't, sir.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06Do you mind me asking where you were on Friday 9 August,

0:34:06 > 0:34:08the day after the robbery?

0:34:08 > 0:34:11I was at the office, usual working hours, normal day.

0:34:11 > 0:34:15- Then I went home and went to bed. - Any visitors that night?

0:34:15 > 0:34:19No. No. Just me and the wife. Very quiet.

0:34:19 > 0:34:23- And the weekend?- We went to a neighbour's christening party on the Sunday.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26Very nice.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29Well, thank you very much, sir. Just had to clear that up.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34- May I?- Yes, of course. Yeah. Cheerio!

0:34:44 > 0:34:47He's lying about having had no visitors.

0:34:47 > 0:34:51Derby police received a call from one of Brian Field's neighbours.

0:34:51 > 0:34:56They rang because they noticed a large number of vehicles going in and out of Field's driveway

0:34:56 > 0:34:59on the night of 9th August. The trouble is, the witness

0:34:59 > 0:35:02wouldn't make a written statement, didn't want to make it official.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04- What else do we have on him? - Maurice Ray confirmed

0:35:04 > 0:35:07that Brian Field's prints were on the receipt from Germany,

0:35:07 > 0:35:10on the holdall with the notes in.

0:35:10 > 0:35:13But we can't prove the notes on the holdall are from the robbery,

0:35:13 > 0:35:15because the bloody banks didn't keep records of most of them.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18That stays within these walls. I don't want anyone getting wind of it.

0:35:18 > 0:35:22Field goes on the list of suspects. Who have we eliminated?

0:35:22 > 0:35:24Eh, we've eliminated...

0:35:24 > 0:35:30Pitts, Kehoe, Sansom, Robinson, Cramer, Hayden Smith, Ambrose and Shakeshaft.

0:35:30 > 0:35:36Leaving us with... Lilley, Smith, Daly, Wilson, White, Pembroke,

0:35:36 > 0:35:39Goody, James, Welch and Reynolds.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Connections between them? - Field represented Goody.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45Goody is a known associate of Wilson and Reynolds.

0:35:45 > 0:35:49Reynolds is Daly's brother-in-law, suspected of the airport robbery last year.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52James was the suspected driver on that.

0:35:52 > 0:35:56Welch is connected to Cordrey, who's already confessed.

0:35:56 > 0:35:58Lilley is Welch's alibi, and vice versa.

0:35:58 > 0:36:02Smith's worked with Wilson on a number of occasions.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05- Sir?- Can you not see we're working here, Slipper?

0:36:05 > 0:36:08Very sorry, sir. You're wanted upstairs.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11DCS Millen - and he's got Commander Hatherill with him.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16What solid evidence have we got connecting this lot

0:36:16 > 0:36:19- with the robbery or the farm? - None at all.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21Not until the full forensics and fingerprints come back.

0:36:21 > 0:36:25Well get some, will you? Do your jobs! The clock is ticking! Frank, come with me.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42- Is my tie straight? - Yeah, it's fine.

0:36:42 > 0:36:46Don't speak unless I tell you. And don't say anything that contradicts me.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48You sure you want me in there?

0:36:48 > 0:36:51Course I want you in there. You're my best officer.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54Come in.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57George and I have agreed we're going to publish photographs

0:36:57 > 0:37:00of all the wanted men, and their wives,

0:37:00 > 0:37:04via posters, newspaper releases and television news bulletins,

0:37:04 > 0:37:07- as of this evening. - No. You can't do that.

0:37:07 > 0:37:10We need to demonstrate we're fully aware who's behind it.

0:37:10 > 0:37:14- We'll demonstrate that by nicking them.- And the public are our best allies on this.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17The public will only get in the way.

0:37:17 > 0:37:20Where are your main suspects right now, Tom?

0:37:20 > 0:37:22We don't have exact locations on all of them.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25How many do you have exact locations on?

0:37:25 > 0:37:28Two.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31By turning this into a public manhunt,

0:37:31 > 0:37:35you'll be destroying any chance you have of...

0:37:35 > 0:37:38Are you just going to sit there and say nothing, Frank?

0:37:38 > 0:37:40I thought you, um...

0:37:42 > 0:37:45DCS Butler's right. You name these people,

0:37:45 > 0:37:48they'll know we're on to them, send them underground.

0:37:48 > 0:37:51- And that'll make them harder to find, not easier.- Don't agree.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53They'll have nowhere to hide.

0:37:53 > 0:37:55They've got money spilling out of their pockets.

0:37:55 > 0:38:00They won't be short of friends. Right now, we have the upper hand

0:38:00 > 0:38:03because they don't know what evidence we have or who we suspect.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06The moment they get an inkling of that, we lose power.

0:38:06 > 0:38:11Secrecy is our best weapon. Do not tell them what we know!

0:38:11 > 0:38:15The public are starting to think these men are like modern-day Robin Hoods.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18And the press think we don't know what we're doing. We can't go on like this.

0:38:18 > 0:38:21I'm not running this for public opinion or the press.

0:38:21 > 0:38:25Maybe not, but both of them are making the Home Secretary anxious.

0:38:25 > 0:38:28And he's passing his anxieties down the line.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31Why would we put their mugshots all around the country?

0:38:31 > 0:38:33What does that achieve? When has that ever worked before?

0:38:33 > 0:38:36We're in uncharted territory, Tom.

0:38:36 > 0:38:39This is the biggest crime this country has ever seen.

0:38:39 > 0:38:43Is the, um...is the DPP in favour?

0:38:44 > 0:38:47They've voiced their concerns.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49If you put these men's faces on a wanted poster

0:38:49 > 0:38:53without all the evidence in place, you are jeopardising the chances of a fair trial.

0:38:53 > 0:38:58- Frank's right. - We're prepared to take that risk.

0:38:58 > 0:39:00I want to put on record that I am protesting this decision

0:39:00 > 0:39:05- in the strongest possible terms. - Noted. That'll be all, Tom. Frank.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13- You all right?- I want some air.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24You fancy having my job one day, Frank?

0:39:25 > 0:39:29- Never thought about it. - Bollocks, you haven't.

0:39:29 > 0:39:32Remember this. No matter who you are,

0:39:32 > 0:39:34how high you go, there's always a wanker boss.

0:40:07 > 0:40:10(ON TELEVISION) 'Today, the police investigating the mail train robbery

0:40:10 > 0:40:13'took the unprecedented step of publishing the photographs

0:40:13 > 0:40:15'of the wanted men and their wives.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18'There's a large reward being offered for information

0:40:18 > 0:40:21'as to the whereabouts of the gang.

0:40:21 > 0:40:25'In particular, Bruce Reynolds, who's suspected of masterminding

0:40:25 > 0:40:28'the robbery, in which over £2 million was stolen.'

0:40:31 > 0:40:34"Dear Mr Butler, I swear I saw one of them

0:40:34 > 0:40:36"robbers yesterday in my local shop.

0:40:36 > 0:40:37"He was buying sausages.

0:40:37 > 0:40:41"I knew he was not from around here, cos he was wearing smart shoes.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43"Yours sincerely, Gladys Williams."

0:40:43 > 0:40:45Thanks a bundle, Frank!

0:40:46 > 0:40:47What have I done?

0:40:47 > 0:40:51Ever since those wanted posters went out, phones are ringing off the hook,

0:40:51 > 0:40:53mail's being delivered in sacks. And it's all bollocks.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56- Not all of it, is it? - 99 out of 100.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58I've had Bruce Reynolds spotted travelling on a coach

0:40:58 > 0:41:01across Switzerland in Swiss national costume,

0:41:01 > 0:41:03a grey beard and a feathered hat. Roy James has been seen

0:41:03 > 0:41:06on practically every racing track in the world.

0:41:06 > 0:41:09Jimmy White, his wife and their white poodle were seen climbing in the Austrian Alps.

0:41:09 > 0:41:12And Buster Edwards is apparently operating as a mercenary soldier

0:41:12 > 0:41:14in the Belgian Congo.

0:41:14 > 0:41:17What idiot had the idea to release those photos?

0:41:17 > 0:41:18Hooter.

0:41:18 > 0:41:22Millen?! I should have a word.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25The Great British public only ever add to the confusion.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28How's the old grey fox coping?

0:41:30 > 0:41:33"Dear Flying Squad, I know nothing about the train robbery,

0:41:33 > 0:41:36"but I do suggest that you question Princess Margaret.

0:41:36 > 0:41:41"I've seen her in a pub, and she hangs around with a right rum lot."

0:41:47 > 0:41:50Tom. I heard what Millen and Hatherill did to you.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53Just tell me. When did they last solve a case this way?

0:41:53 > 0:41:56Move into an office on that floor and it's all politics.

0:41:56 > 0:41:57I pray I never do.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59I pray you don't too, Tom.

0:41:59 > 0:42:03I can't do it, Maurice. Not if they keep hobbling me like this.

0:42:04 > 0:42:07DOOR CLOSES

0:42:07 > 0:42:10I thought you might need a piece of good news.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16Partial prints taken from the cellophane wrapping

0:42:16 > 0:42:19of a Johnson's travelling kit, and a drum of salt.

0:42:19 > 0:42:21Both found at the farm.

0:42:21 > 0:42:26The previous occupants say they cleared it out when they left.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30So they must be from the train gang.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35Add in a palm print from a windowsill.

0:42:37 > 0:42:39And...

0:42:39 > 0:42:41a match with our records.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04Charles Frederick Wilson?

0:43:05 > 0:43:07Yes, that's right.

0:43:07 > 0:43:10Detective Chief Superintendent Butler, of the Flying Squad.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12This is Detective Inspector Williams.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14We'd like to talk to you in connection with the mail train

0:43:14 > 0:43:17robbery at Cheddington. You might have heard of it.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19I read about it. But I've never been there.

0:43:19 > 0:43:22Well, my boys will search your house while you come with us.

0:43:24 > 0:43:26You ain't got nothing strong enough to take me in.

0:43:26 > 0:43:27Car's outside.

0:43:30 > 0:43:32Listen. Ring him, won't you?

0:43:32 > 0:43:33Daddy, where are you going?

0:43:33 > 0:43:36Listen, don't you worry. I'll be right back.

0:44:07 > 0:44:10Do you know Cheddington, in Buckinghamshire?

0:44:10 > 0:44:12I've never been there in my life.

0:44:12 > 0:44:15Leatherslade Farm, at Brill?

0:44:15 > 0:44:18I read about it in the papers.

0:44:18 > 0:44:21I ain't been there, and no-one can say I have.

0:44:22 > 0:44:25Where were you on the morning of the 8th August?

0:44:25 > 0:44:27I was at Spitalfields Market.

0:44:27 > 0:44:29Left home at five and went to work.

0:44:29 > 0:44:33Got any receipts for that day? Proof of business done?

0:44:33 > 0:44:35It's a market, we don't give receipts.

0:44:36 > 0:44:39I saw a couple of fellers. They'll vouch for me.

0:44:39 > 0:44:42I've reason to believe they wouldn't be telling the truth.

0:44:44 > 0:44:46What reason would that be?

0:44:46 > 0:44:49That's for me to know, son. Tell him, Frank.

0:44:51 > 0:44:53Charles Frederick Wilson, you will be detained

0:44:53 > 0:44:56and taken to Aylesbury Police Station, where you will be

0:44:56 > 0:44:59charged in being concerned with others in robbing a Travelling

0:44:59 > 0:45:03Post Office train at Cheddington on the 8th of August 1963.

0:45:11 > 0:45:12- Dinner time!- Whay!

0:45:12 > 0:45:15- Got any corned beef? - Corned beef? In your dreams!

0:45:15 > 0:45:17Oh, look, it's like feeding time at the zoo!

0:45:17 > 0:45:19Oi! That's mine.

0:45:19 > 0:45:22You've got to be quicker than that. Rugby training, you see.

0:45:22 > 0:45:23Fast on your feet. You should try it.

0:45:23 > 0:45:27You are talking to the 1944 Light Heavyweight Champion

0:45:27 > 0:45:29Combined Forces Rhodesia.

0:45:29 > 0:45:30Now, give me back my sandwich,

0:45:30 > 0:45:33or you will get a little right cross on that lovely jaw.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35Oh, yeah? Let's see how it's done.

0:45:35 > 0:45:38You're the one that needs to be quicker, old son!

0:45:38 > 0:45:41Overtime cards, please, lads. No cards, no pay.

0:45:41 > 0:45:43Thank you very much,

0:45:45 > 0:45:47Oh! Cheese and pickle, my favourite.

0:45:47 > 0:45:49Oi. Oi. Hold it!

0:45:51 > 0:45:52What's that?

0:45:52 > 0:45:53Overtime cards for the squad.

0:45:55 > 0:45:57They're working all the hours.

0:45:57 > 0:45:58I should hope so.

0:46:11 > 0:46:14GENERAL CHATTER

0:46:19 > 0:46:20Buster Edwards.

0:46:20 > 0:46:24Somebody saw the photo we released, phoned in - we've got an address.

0:46:25 > 0:46:28- Right, lads, come on - quick. - Come on, lads.

0:46:28 > 0:46:31Oi! You two. What do you think you're having the day off?

0:46:31 > 0:46:32Go on, get going.

0:46:36 > 0:46:37Old Forge Crescent, Shepperton.

0:46:37 > 0:46:40Neighbour rang in to say two people the spit of Edwards

0:46:40 > 0:46:42and his wife had moved in next door.

0:46:42 > 0:46:43Mr and Mrs Green.

0:46:43 > 0:46:45Can't this heap move any faster, Jock?

0:46:56 > 0:46:57Dave, George, neighbours.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59Mr Green? Mrs Green?

0:46:59 > 0:47:03- Open the door, please. It's the police.- Go on, then.

0:47:08 > 0:47:10Police!

0:47:15 > 0:47:17Mr and Mrs Green? Anyone here?

0:47:21 > 0:47:23No-one here. The house is empty.

0:47:25 > 0:47:28Neighbour's say they left about an hour ago. Red Morris 1100.

0:47:28 > 0:47:30We'll try and find the plate number.

0:47:32 > 0:47:35They didn't even have time to drink their tea.

0:47:38 > 0:47:41We'll get fingerprints on it straightaway.

0:47:41 > 0:47:43We've sent out an alert on the car.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45Well, that's all we can do for now.

0:47:47 > 0:47:48All right?

0:47:48 > 0:47:51We do not rest. They are not better than us.

0:48:02 > 0:48:03Afternoon.

0:48:03 > 0:48:06I'll have a nice bunch of roses, please, sweetheart.

0:48:16 > 0:48:19Thank you very much, my darling. Have a lovely day.

0:48:23 > 0:48:25What were you doing in Leicester, Goody?

0:48:25 > 0:48:26A little day out.

0:48:26 > 0:48:29I've been staying at the Windmill Pub in Blackfriars

0:48:29 > 0:48:31since you lot turned my old lady over.

0:48:31 > 0:48:35That lot in the paper - they're mates of mine, so I thought I'd keep out the way.

0:48:35 > 0:48:36Seen any of them lately?

0:48:36 > 0:48:38No, Mr Butler. I haven't.

0:48:39 > 0:48:42Not around 3am on the 8th August?

0:48:42 > 0:48:44No.

0:48:44 > 0:48:45Where were you, then?

0:48:45 > 0:48:48Over the water. Emerald Isles.

0:48:48 > 0:48:49Ireland. Who with?

0:48:49 > 0:48:52- I'd rather not say. - What were you doing?

0:48:52 > 0:48:56- Bit of shooting, bit of fishing. - Where did you stay?

0:48:56 > 0:48:57Never mind all that.

0:48:57 > 0:49:00How'd you know I was at that hotel, anyway?

0:49:00 > 0:49:02The hotel florist thought you were Bruce Reynolds.

0:49:02 > 0:49:07She saw his picture in the paper. Mistaken for your mate.

0:49:07 > 0:49:08That's unlucky, Goody.

0:49:08 > 0:49:10Bloody glasses. Could've been worse.

0:49:10 > 0:49:12She could've thought I looked like Charlie.

0:49:12 > 0:49:16Whose name did you cross out in your address book when we arrested you?

0:49:16 > 0:49:19Name of a lady. I didn't want her involved in any misunderstanding.

0:49:19 > 0:49:21Margaret Perkins.

0:49:21 > 0:49:23Mr Williams, please. We're both gentlemen.

0:49:25 > 0:49:27Not one of your mates on the job, then.

0:49:27 > 0:49:31I didn't do any job. I was drinking Guinness from the source.

0:49:31 > 0:49:34Why did you make a note of the numbers of all the £5

0:49:34 > 0:49:37- and 10 shilling notes we found on you?- Just a precaution.

0:49:37 > 0:49:39Mistakes get made.

0:49:40 > 0:49:44You ever been to Leatherslade Farm at Brill?

0:49:44 > 0:49:46Mr Butler, what would I be doing on a farm?

0:49:48 > 0:49:49Preparing to commit a robbery.

0:49:49 > 0:49:53Mr Butler, please.

0:49:55 > 0:49:58You weren't there on the morning of the 8th August?

0:49:59 > 0:50:03Ireland, Mr Butler. Not Bucks, Ireland. You ever been?

0:50:03 > 0:50:05You should go, it's lovely.

0:50:08 > 0:50:13You travelled to Belfast, by air, on August the 2nd.

0:50:14 > 0:50:19With your little old mum, and a man named Knowles.

0:50:19 > 0:50:20That's right.

0:50:20 > 0:50:22You stayed with a relative.

0:50:22 > 0:50:26You returned to England alone on Tuesday August the 6th.

0:50:29 > 0:50:33Knowles and your mum travelled back together on Wednesday the 7th.

0:50:33 > 0:50:38So, you weren't in Ireland the night of the train robbery.

0:50:38 > 0:50:42Now, would you like a second go at any of my previous questions?

0:50:42 > 0:50:45I think you can deal with my mouthpiece from now on, if you don't mind.

0:50:53 > 0:50:57Released on an undertaking to return on the 7th September.

0:50:57 > 0:51:01Without any matches on prints or forensics, we can't keep him.

0:51:05 > 0:51:07You were shot in the face in the war, weren't you?

0:51:09 > 0:51:11Yes.

0:51:11 > 0:51:13- Commando?- I was. Italy.

0:51:15 > 0:51:16Did you enjoy it?

0:51:16 > 0:51:19Yes. When I wasn't being shot in the face.

0:51:21 > 0:51:23You weren't in the Forces yourself?

0:51:23 > 0:51:25No, I was kept on the Squad. I was lucky.

0:51:25 > 0:51:27Have lots of cases?

0:51:27 > 0:51:29Larceny. Receiving. Warehouse breaking.

0:51:31 > 0:51:34There was a type of man who saw the war as an opportunity.

0:51:34 > 0:51:36A golden period, where normal rules didn't apply.

0:51:36 > 0:51:39While others were fighting for country and going without,

0:51:39 > 0:51:41this man thought he'd profit.

0:51:41 > 0:51:44I went after those men. I got plenty of them.

0:51:46 > 0:51:49This lot, the train robbers. They're the same.

0:51:49 > 0:51:51Skimming off the top, easy targets,

0:51:51 > 0:51:53while other people work hard for a living.

0:51:53 > 0:51:54Cowards with coshes.

0:51:56 > 0:51:58Talk to your people, Frank.

0:51:59 > 0:52:00My people?

0:52:00 > 0:52:05You know who I mean. I'm not pissing about any longer.

0:52:07 > 0:52:10I will have every last one of this gang, if it kills me.

0:52:15 > 0:52:18Tommy Butler's got the bit between his teeth about the train robbery.

0:52:18 > 0:52:23Business is going to get very bad for every single man in this room.

0:52:23 > 0:52:27Butler's going to have me turning over every villain in South London,

0:52:27 > 0:52:28till someone gives that gang up.

0:52:31 > 0:52:32Do we understand each other?

0:53:11 > 0:53:13Afternoon, James. It's been a while.

0:53:30 > 0:53:32Going my way?

0:53:32 > 0:53:33You all right?

0:53:39 > 0:53:41How's work?

0:53:41 > 0:53:43Fine.

0:53:43 > 0:53:46Yours?

0:53:48 > 0:53:49Every day's a thrill, Tom.

0:53:56 > 0:54:00SHOOTING AND SHOUTING

0:54:16 > 0:54:18You must have something on Goody.

0:54:18 > 0:54:20We know where he is, we've had him in.

0:54:20 > 0:54:22He must have left some trace at the farm.

0:54:22 > 0:54:28These are his from when he was holed up in London at the Windmill Pub.

0:54:28 > 0:54:30Size 10 brown suede Trueform.

0:54:30 > 0:54:32He was involved, I'm sure of it.

0:54:32 > 0:54:33So am I.

0:54:33 > 0:54:37I gave evidence against him at the airport robbery trial.

0:54:37 > 0:54:39He got off.

0:54:39 > 0:54:40As he walked out past the prosecution,

0:54:40 > 0:54:45he pulled apart a piece of evidence to show something I'd missed.

0:54:45 > 0:54:49Goody lied on oath, and bragged about it to humiliate me.

0:54:49 > 0:54:51He's not getting away with this one.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53We must connect him to Leatherslade farm.

0:55:12 > 0:55:13These yours?

0:55:13 > 0:55:16They look like mine. Can I have a closer look?

0:55:16 > 0:55:17Ever loaned them to anyone?

0:55:18 > 0:55:22They're shoes, Mr Butler. Course not.

0:55:25 > 0:55:30When you were being held at Aylesbury on August the 24th,

0:55:30 > 0:55:34Constable Price talked to you, and offered you something to eat.

0:55:34 > 0:55:39You said to him, "If you had my worries, you wouldn't want to eat."

0:55:39 > 0:55:41What did you mean by that?

0:55:41 > 0:55:45I was worried... worried about being fitted up.

0:55:46 > 0:55:49PC Price then said to you, "If you unfold your worries to me,

0:55:49 > 0:55:51"would you feel better?"

0:55:52 > 0:55:55To which you replied "No, brother.

0:55:55 > 0:55:58"You'd probably be out digging for the money.

0:55:58 > 0:56:01"Did Charlie tell you where his money was?"

0:56:01 > 0:56:03Charlie Wilson, you meant.

0:56:06 > 0:56:09Buried your cut of the cash, did you? Same place as Wilson's?

0:56:10 > 0:56:13I came back here, complying with your bail,

0:56:13 > 0:56:15and now you're putting this on me.

0:56:15 > 0:56:21Goody. We both know you were there. We've got the proof.

0:56:25 > 0:56:28I'd like to speak to my solicitor alone now. If you don't mind, Mr Butler.

0:56:45 > 0:56:49I know nothing of this matter and I am completely innocent.

0:56:57 > 0:57:01Edwards, James, Reynolds. Where are they? Who's hiding them?

0:57:01 > 0:57:03Especially Reynolds.

0:57:03 > 0:57:05Everything points to him leading this job.

0:57:05 > 0:57:08Tell your snouts, we'll make it worth their while.

0:57:08 > 0:57:10I want him here. Now get on it.

0:57:11 > 0:57:13- Go on, Frank.- Guv'nor.

0:57:13 > 0:57:14What?

0:57:14 > 0:57:16The lads...

0:57:17 > 0:57:19We were just, they were just, you know,

0:57:19 > 0:57:22some of them are dead on their feet, exhausted.

0:57:22 > 0:57:24You've been working us, them, evenings and weekends,

0:57:24 > 0:57:29and then there's wives and young kids and they never seen them, so...

0:57:29 > 0:57:32Maybe we could work something where everyone has one day off a week,

0:57:32 > 0:57:35you know, on a rota or something...

0:57:35 > 0:57:37I hadn't finished!

0:57:37 > 0:57:39Getting a bit much, is it?

0:57:40 > 0:57:42What do you want, a bit of time off? On me?

0:57:42 > 0:57:44All expenses paid?

0:57:44 > 0:57:47A week in the Costa del Sol?

0:57:47 > 0:57:50Dinner out, drinks on the house, tarts on tap?

0:57:50 > 0:57:52While you're feeling sorry for yourselves,

0:57:52 > 0:57:55that lot are spending the money they nicked.

0:57:55 > 0:57:59They're living better than you. And you want time off!

0:57:59 > 0:58:02DOOR SLAMS

0:58:07 > 0:58:11Bloody hell, Frank. We said, ask him on the quiet.

0:58:16 > 0:58:18What did you tell your mum about us?

0:58:18 > 0:58:20Nothing.

0:58:21 > 0:58:23Don't she ask?

0:58:23 > 0:58:24No.

0:58:26 > 0:58:30Your life...

0:58:30 > 0:58:31All in separate compartments.

0:58:35 > 0:58:37Isn't everyone's?

0:58:38 > 0:58:40No.

0:58:44 > 0:58:45Morning, lads.

0:58:45 > 0:58:47Ready for the fight?

0:58:49 > 0:58:50He's in a good mood.

0:58:50 > 0:58:52Second Thursday.

0:58:52 > 0:58:54What's so special about a second Thursday?

0:58:54 > 0:58:57Well...every second Wednesday, he sees his fancy woman.

0:58:57 > 0:58:58Butler's bunk-up night.

0:58:58 > 0:59:00Morning, Sid.

0:59:00 > 0:59:02- Morning, sir.- Morning, Frank.

0:59:02 > 0:59:03Morning, Guv'nor.

0:59:03 > 0:59:05What are we missing?

0:59:06 > 0:59:08I met him once, Reynolds.

0:59:10 > 0:59:11Is that a fact?

0:59:11 > 0:59:14Been keeping this little gem to yourself, have you, Frank?

0:59:14 > 0:59:16When did you meet him?

0:59:16 > 0:59:19Just after the airport job. We were keeping an eye, you know.

0:59:19 > 0:59:21Funny thing is,

0:59:21 > 0:59:25he said, "Send my regards to Mr Butler."

0:59:25 > 0:59:27He said what?

0:59:27 > 0:59:29I told him you wouldn't have a clue who he was.

0:59:30 > 0:59:32He just smiled.

0:59:37 > 0:59:38Where is he, Frank?

0:59:44 > 0:59:48# I've got you under my skin

0:59:52 > 0:59:55# I've got you

0:59:55 > 0:59:58# Deep in the heart of me

0:59:58 > 1:00:04# So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me... #

1:00:21 > 1:00:24Afternoon, sir. Is that your flat up the top?

1:00:24 > 1:00:25- Yes, it is.- How do I access it?

1:00:25 > 1:00:28- Through the back and up the stairs. - Thank you.

1:00:37 > 1:00:42# ..I've got you under my skin... #

1:00:42 > 1:00:45KNOCK AT DOOR

1:00:45 > 1:00:47# I'd sacrifice anything

1:00:47 > 1:00:52# Come what might for the sake of having you near... #

1:00:52 > 1:00:53Afternoon, madam.

1:00:54 > 1:00:56Is there a problem, officer?

1:00:56 > 1:01:01We're patrolling the area and we noticed a ladder up against the wall of your flat.

1:01:01 > 1:01:02A ladder?

1:01:02 > 1:01:06- I think there may've been an attempted break-in.- What, here?

1:01:06 > 1:01:07Are you alone in the flat?

1:01:07 > 1:01:09Erm, well, um...

1:01:09 > 1:01:11Do you mind if we take a look around?

1:01:11 > 1:01:13All right, then.

1:01:13 > 1:01:15Officer, come on in.

1:01:23 > 1:01:26- All right, lads.- Crikey, Charlie! Could you put some clothes on, sir.

1:01:26 > 1:01:28You caught us by surprise.

1:01:28 > 1:01:30- Apparently.- Oh, my Lord!

1:01:30 > 1:01:34It's all right, sweetheart, we might as well tell the truth.

1:01:34 > 1:01:35Might we?

1:01:35 > 1:01:37Yeah...

1:01:37 > 1:01:39Me and this good lady, we...

1:01:39 > 1:01:41we shouldn't be doing this.

1:01:41 > 1:01:45Her husband's due home in a couple of hours.

1:01:45 > 1:01:46I see...

1:01:46 > 1:01:49We heard the door and we thought... we thought it was him.

1:01:50 > 1:01:53She just panicked. Didn't you?

1:01:53 > 1:01:55It looks like your...

1:01:55 > 1:01:59lady's flat may have been the subject of an attempted burglary.

1:02:01 > 1:02:03You what?!

1:02:03 > 1:02:06Ladder up the outside. Must have happened while you were...

1:02:06 > 1:02:07deep in conversation.

1:02:09 > 1:02:13Cheeky bleeders, eh? They didn't take anything.

1:02:14 > 1:02:16Not even your clothes, sir?

1:02:16 > 1:02:20- HE LAUGHS - Well, thank you, officer.

1:02:20 > 1:02:22I appreciate your vigilance.

1:02:22 > 1:02:25But, as you can see, we're fine.

1:02:29 > 1:02:31Why don't you show the gentlemen out?

1:02:49 > 1:02:52Bruce Reynolds is the most wanted man in the country,

1:02:52 > 1:02:53and you didn't recognise him?

1:02:53 > 1:02:55He said he was her lover.

1:02:55 > 1:02:58- He said what?!- He was her lover.

1:02:58 > 1:03:00He wasn't her lover. He was her husband.

1:03:00 > 1:03:02He was a train robber!

1:03:04 > 1:03:05We didn't know.

1:03:05 > 1:03:07You don't know anything, son.

1:03:07 > 1:03:09I'd be surprised if you could find your own arse! Get out of it.

1:03:14 > 1:03:16Reynolds' prints all round the place.

1:03:16 > 1:03:21Also, Roy James, fingerprints on a dirty mug. Must've been visiting.

1:03:23 > 1:03:24Not long ago.

1:03:33 > 1:03:34Potato sacks?!

1:03:34 > 1:03:38Someone's left two potato sacks in a phone box.

1:03:38 > 1:03:40And then called it in.

1:03:40 > 1:03:41Which phone box?

1:03:41 > 1:03:42- Does it matter?- Only asking.

1:03:42 > 1:03:46Corner of Great Dover Street and Black House Court. SE1.

1:03:46 > 1:03:47South of the river, see.

1:03:47 > 1:03:48And there was no-one around?

1:03:48 > 1:03:50Not by the time we got there.

1:03:52 > 1:03:55Well, open it up then, Tom, let the dog see the rabbit!

1:03:57 > 1:04:01- Ohh!- Oh! That stinks!- Eurgh!

1:04:01 > 1:04:03Well?

1:04:06 > 1:04:09This must've been buried.

1:04:09 > 1:04:11Buried in what?

1:04:11 > 1:04:13How much do you think's there?

1:04:13 > 1:04:15Tip-off said over 40 grand.

1:04:15 > 1:04:1640 grand!

1:04:16 > 1:04:19Even so, did we have to tip it on the floor?

1:04:19 > 1:04:20We'll be fumigating for months!

1:04:22 > 1:04:24Sid, this cash stays in this office.

1:04:24 > 1:04:28You're sleeping here tonight, till it goes to Aylesbury first thing.

1:04:28 > 1:04:30You want me to sleep with that?

1:04:30 > 1:04:32PHONE RINGS

1:04:32 > 1:04:33You've slept with worse.

1:04:33 > 1:04:35Can somebody answer that bloody phone!

1:04:35 > 1:04:37- Here you are, Sid.- Right! Never mind this sideshow.

1:04:37 > 1:04:39Get this cleared up and then concentrate on the villains.

1:04:39 > 1:04:42Sir!

1:04:42 > 1:04:43Roy James, we've found him!

1:04:43 > 1:04:47Word has come in from a female informant.

1:04:47 > 1:04:51Roy James is staying in a house in St John's Wood.

1:04:51 > 1:04:55Now, this is the plan showing all the entrances and exits.

1:04:55 > 1:04:59We've already got observation front and back.

1:04:59 > 1:05:03We go there now, recce the place, make our move tonight.

1:05:03 > 1:05:08We play this right, sir, we can have him.

1:05:08 > 1:05:10Come on, Frank, we'll take my car.

1:05:10 > 1:05:12- Oh. Really? - What's wrong with my car?

1:05:12 > 1:05:14It's not the car I'm worried about.

1:05:17 > 1:05:18Watch that cor...

1:05:41 > 1:05:43We have men on the corner at Abbey Road

1:05:43 > 1:05:46and round the back on Carlton Vale. No-one's coming in or out.

1:05:58 > 1:06:00SHE KNOCKS ON DOOR

1:06:10 > 1:06:12SHE KNOCKS AGAIN

1:06:16 > 1:06:17He's doing a bunk.

1:06:17 > 1:06:19Go on, boys.

1:06:23 > 1:06:25Stay close.

1:06:27 > 1:06:28He's gone up the stairs!

1:06:28 > 1:06:30- He's headed for the roof. - Get in there!

1:06:30 > 1:06:31Come on.

1:06:33 > 1:06:35Stop! Police!

1:06:35 > 1:06:38Stay where you are!

1:06:38 > 1:06:41He's on the roof.

1:06:43 > 1:06:45Stop there!

1:06:45 > 1:06:48Hey, stop!

1:06:55 > 1:06:58He's going down here.

1:07:25 > 1:07:27Evening.

1:07:31 > 1:07:32That's nothing to do with me.

1:07:37 > 1:07:40In my experience, innocent men don't run.

1:07:40 > 1:07:44What else should I have done? Open the door and get myself nicked?!

1:07:44 > 1:07:46When you were searched, we found £131.

1:07:46 > 1:07:48You normally carry around that amount of cash?

1:07:48 > 1:07:50Sometimes.

1:07:50 > 1:07:54Two of the £5 notes in your possession were serial numbers

1:07:54 > 1:07:59J69 5007 and J94 284281.

1:08:01 > 1:08:02So?

1:08:02 > 1:08:06Those notes were reported stolen by the National Commercial Bank

1:08:06 > 1:08:08of Scotland during the train robbery.

1:08:10 > 1:08:12Last night, they were in your pocket.

1:08:15 > 1:08:22In your holdall we found £12,041 - damp notes.

1:08:22 > 1:08:27Like they'd been buried. In the allotment, was it?

1:08:27 > 1:08:29Where you jumped?

1:08:29 > 1:08:31Very clever, your escape route,

1:08:31 > 1:08:34digging in the garden for a soft landing in case you needed it.

1:08:34 > 1:08:36Don't know what you mean.

1:08:36 > 1:08:41Also in the holdall we found this piece of paper,

1:08:41 > 1:08:43with various figures on it.

1:08:43 > 1:08:47There's a list of banknote denominations,

1:08:47 > 1:08:49alongside a column of amounts.

1:08:49 > 1:08:50That's not my writing.

1:08:51 > 1:08:55Beneath the column of amounts, there's a list of expenditure.

1:08:55 > 1:08:57You might want to note just here.

1:08:57 > 1:09:02The sum of £1,500 next to the word "Brab".

1:09:02 > 1:09:05How's your new car, Mr James?

1:09:06 > 1:09:10Brabham, isn't it? Congratulations by the way.

1:09:10 > 1:09:13Your win at Cadwell Park, very impressive.

1:09:14 > 1:09:19The sum total of the amounts column comes to £109,500.

1:09:21 > 1:09:25Strangely close to the share some of the train robbers got.

1:09:28 > 1:09:32What do you call it, a whack? Is that the slang?

1:09:39 > 1:09:40Where's Bruce Reynolds?

1:09:44 > 1:09:46Who?

1:10:00 > 1:10:03'Today sees the beginning of one of the most remarkable trials

1:10:03 > 1:10:05'in British legal history.

1:10:06 > 1:10:10'The men in court are accused of robbing a mail train of more

1:10:10 > 1:10:14'than £2.5 million in August of last year.

1:10:28 > 1:10:30'If convicted of the robbery,

1:10:37 > 1:10:38All rise.

1:10:56 > 1:11:01'the jury has taken 63 hours of deliberation to reach a verdict.'

1:11:01 > 1:11:03Will the defendants please stand?

1:11:09 > 1:11:12On the charge of conspiring to rob Her Majesty's Mail,

1:11:12 > 1:11:15how do you find the defendant, Douglas Gordon Goody?

1:11:16 > 1:11:17Guilty.

1:11:17 > 1:11:19SHOUTS FROM SPECTATORS

1:11:23 > 1:11:25On the charge of conspiring to rob Her Majesty's Mail,

1:11:25 > 1:11:29how do you find the defendant, Roy John James?

1:11:29 > 1:11:32Guilty.

1:11:32 > 1:11:33Guilty.

1:11:33 > 1:11:35Guilty.

1:11:35 > 1:11:36Guilty.

1:11:36 > 1:11:38Well done, Tom.

1:11:41 > 1:11:46When grave crime is committed, it calls for grave punishment,

1:11:46 > 1:11:48not for the purpose of mere retribution,

1:11:48 > 1:11:52but so that others similarly tempted shall be brought to the sharp

1:11:52 > 1:11:54realisation that crime does not pay,

1:11:54 > 1:11:58and that the crime is certainly not worth even the most

1:11:58 > 1:12:00alluring candle.

1:12:00 > 1:12:03As the higher the price, the greater the temptation. Potential criminals

1:12:03 > 1:12:07who may be dazzled by the enormity of the price must be taught

1:12:07 > 1:12:12that the punishment they risk will be proportionately greater.

1:12:12 > 1:12:15I therefore find myself faced with the unenviable duty

1:12:15 > 1:12:18of pronouncing grave sentences.

1:12:21 > 1:12:23Charles Frederick Wilson,

1:12:23 > 1:12:27Roy John James, Ronald Arthur Biggs,

1:12:27 > 1:12:29Douglas Gordon Goody,

1:12:44 > 1:12:46to prison for concurrent terms of 20 years...

1:12:49 > 1:12:52..Brian Arthur Field, the concurrent sentences of the court

1:12:52 > 1:12:55are that on the first count, you will go to prison for 25 years...

1:13:38 > 1:13:42Hooray! The train squad.

1:14:04 > 1:14:06Bit steep, don't you think?

1:14:06 > 1:14:09Shouldn't have done the job in the first place, should they?

1:14:15 > 1:14:17That's it then, lads. Time to go.

1:14:17 > 1:14:19Frank, that's got to go to C11.

1:14:19 > 1:14:20OK. You take that upstairs.

1:14:29 > 1:14:33TYPING

1:14:44 > 1:14:45PHONE RINGS

1:14:54 > 1:14:56Hello?

1:14:57 > 1:15:01'Buster Edwards. He surrendered. Given a written statement.'

1:15:01 > 1:15:03I'll be in.

1:15:05 > 1:15:08This is DCS Butler.

1:15:20 > 1:15:23Where were you on the 7th and 8th of August 1963 - Wednesday night,

1:15:23 > 1:15:25Thursday morning?

1:15:25 > 1:15:27No idea. A lot of time's passed.

1:15:27 > 1:15:30I'd say I was definitely indoors.

1:15:30 > 1:15:31Indoors?

1:15:31 > 1:15:33Definitely.

1:15:33 > 1:15:36Where were you on the 6th August, 1963? A Tuesday.

1:15:36 > 1:15:38I would have been indoors then too.

1:15:41 > 1:15:43Unless there was boxing on.

1:15:43 > 1:15:46I might go and see the fights, if there was boxing.

1:15:46 > 1:15:48Do you know Leatherslade Farm?

1:15:48 > 1:15:50Yes.

1:15:50 > 1:15:51I was going to clean it up.

1:15:51 > 1:15:54But I got scared, so I didn't. I wasn't at the train.

1:15:54 > 1:15:57I've said so in my written statement. You've got it there.

1:15:57 > 1:15:59Do you know the persons associated with the robbery

1:15:59 > 1:16:02whose photographs have appeared in the press, and on television?

1:16:02 > 1:16:05Some of them. I don't want to name them.

1:16:05 > 1:16:06It does no good.

1:16:06 > 1:16:08Do you know Bruce Reynolds?

1:16:09 > 1:16:11I don't want to answer that.

1:16:15 > 1:16:17Why now?

1:16:17 > 1:16:19What?

1:16:19 > 1:16:21Why give up now?

1:16:21 > 1:16:24Dozen and one reasons. They didn't matter on their own.

1:16:24 > 1:16:27But put together, they do.

1:16:27 > 1:16:29My little girl, Nicolette.

1:16:29 > 1:16:31I want her brought up in England.

1:16:31 > 1:16:34She speaks better Spanish than English.

1:16:34 > 1:16:36My wife misses her mum and dad.

1:16:36 > 1:16:39Wants them to see their granddaughter. She's been on at me.

1:16:40 > 1:16:43It ain't a normal life, on the run.

1:16:43 > 1:16:45People are just after your money.

1:16:45 > 1:16:47And now the money's run out.

1:16:49 > 1:16:51I won't get 30 years like the others.

1:16:51 > 1:16:54Not if you only cleaned up. Like you said in your statement.

1:16:54 > 1:16:57That right, sir?

1:16:57 > 1:17:01Where's Bruce Reynolds?

1:17:01 > 1:17:03No idea.

1:17:43 > 1:17:4830 years' service. MBE. A fine career, Tom, congratulations.

1:17:50 > 1:17:52Here's to a well-earned retirement.

1:17:52 > 1:17:55- I don't want it. - I beg your pardon?

1:17:55 > 1:17:58I want to stay on. I want your dispensation to keep going.

1:17:58 > 1:18:01- You've got a pension coming! - The job's not done.

1:18:01 > 1:18:04- What job? - The train robbery. Reynolds.

1:18:06 > 1:18:09I've got Frank Williams all lined up to take over.

1:18:09 > 1:18:12He's waited long enough as it is.

1:18:12 > 1:18:15Not until I get Reynolds. I want to see it through.

1:18:15 > 1:18:20Please...sir. Frank'll understand.

1:18:23 > 1:18:24We're going to miss you, Tom.

1:18:27 > 1:18:31I'm afraid you're going to have to be patient a while longer.

1:18:31 > 1:18:34What do you mean? You're retiring. You've done your time.

1:18:34 > 1:18:38It's like I told you, Frank. There's always a wanker boss.

1:19:06 > 1:19:07PHONE RINGS

1:19:14 > 1:19:19Jock, I've just had a very interesting telephone conversation.

1:19:19 > 1:19:21- I fancy a drive.- Sir.

1:19:40 > 1:19:42All ready, sir.

1:20:28 > 1:20:31Hello, son. Is your daddy in?

1:20:31 > 1:20:33- He's in bed.- Is he?

1:20:45 > 1:20:49- Bruce, what's going on? - Stay there.

1:20:52 > 1:20:53Hello, Reynolds.

1:20:56 > 1:20:58You took long enough.

1:21:01 > 1:21:03Your dad's done a few things he shouldn't.

1:21:03 > 1:21:07I'm going to have to go away for a while now.

1:21:07 > 1:21:11You look after your mum. Do as she says.

1:21:11 > 1:21:15You be a good boy. You're the man of the house now.

1:21:17 > 1:21:23Remember, your dad loves you. He always will.

1:21:32 > 1:21:34Be lucky, son.

1:21:34 > 1:21:35It's time to go.

1:21:47 > 1:21:48(You know who to call.)

1:22:38 > 1:22:40How'd you find me? Someone grass?

1:22:46 > 1:22:49I heard you refused retirement. I'm flattered.

1:22:54 > 1:22:57I've been thinking of giving myself up for a while.

1:22:57 > 1:23:02All that stuff in the newspapers about me being the mastermind,

1:23:02 > 1:23:05I wouldn't pay too much attention to that.

1:23:05 > 1:23:07Worried you'll get the same as the rest?

1:23:11 > 1:23:1430 years. It's a disgrace.

1:23:15 > 1:23:18There's rapists and murderers doing less than half of that.

1:23:18 > 1:23:2130 years for nicking a bit of cash.

1:23:22 > 1:23:24Don't break the law, you don't get the sentence.

1:23:24 > 1:23:25No guns, no violence.

1:23:27 > 1:23:30- Apart from the driver. - He got up and drove the train.

1:23:30 > 1:23:32He can't have been that bad.

1:23:32 > 1:23:34Jack Mills got shingles from the shock.

1:23:34 > 1:23:36His right hand shakes constantly.

1:23:36 > 1:23:40He can't sleep, he's off sick.

1:23:40 > 1:23:42He's a broken man.

1:23:42 > 1:23:44How could we have known that'd happen, eh?

1:23:44 > 1:23:47He went to work that night. That's all.

1:23:47 > 1:23:49You and your mates ruined his life.

1:23:51 > 1:23:54You've been doing this long enough.

1:23:55 > 1:23:57Every crime has a victim, somewhere.

1:23:57 > 1:24:00You haven't ever given them a thought.

1:24:04 > 1:24:08You know what sending everyone down for 30 years does?

1:24:08 > 1:24:12It means every little crook takes weapons now. Guns on every job.

1:24:12 > 1:24:16Cos if you're going to get 30 years without a gun,

1:24:16 > 1:24:17you might as well take one.

1:24:17 > 1:24:19It can't be any worse.

1:24:20 > 1:24:24The moment that judge did that, everything changed. Whole attitude.

1:24:26 > 1:24:31The moment he passed that sentence, he brought guns into every job.

1:24:31 > 1:24:34It's always someone else's fault.

1:24:37 > 1:24:40Why'd you come back? Money ran out for you too?

1:24:47 > 1:24:51You know what amazes me? You had no plan.

1:24:51 > 1:24:55From the second you took the cash, no plan at all.

1:24:57 > 1:25:00Just run and spend and hope. You're not stupid.

1:25:02 > 1:25:04But you're no mastermind.

1:25:04 > 1:25:06You got lucky. Very lucky.

1:25:06 > 1:25:09But none of you were bright enough to ride your luck.

1:25:09 > 1:25:12And the paint. On Gordon's shoes? He's certain it was never there.

1:25:12 > 1:25:17He was done up. Convicted on false evidence.

1:25:18 > 1:25:22Bill Boal was never in the gang. You got that wrong.

1:25:24 > 1:25:25You convicted an innocent man.

1:25:25 > 1:25:28So, a convicted liar is challenging me on the truth?

1:25:30 > 1:25:33You know what's funny, Mr Butler?

1:25:33 > 1:25:35You think you set the rules.

1:25:35 > 1:25:38But you've been chasing me for so long.

1:25:39 > 1:25:43Your life has been following what I do.

1:25:43 > 1:25:44Not any more.

1:25:47 > 1:25:50Why did you do it?

1:25:50 > 1:25:52A job that big.

1:25:52 > 1:25:56Never going to get away with it. You must have known that.

1:25:59 > 1:26:02You've got to dream big, Mr Butler.

1:26:02 > 1:26:04What are we here for, if we don't make our mark?

1:26:06 > 1:26:10It was never just about the cash. It's the buzz.

1:26:11 > 1:26:13Building the team, finding the job,

1:26:13 > 1:26:16planning the job, carrying it out.

1:26:17 > 1:26:22It's the camaraderie. Trusting other men with everything you know.

1:26:24 > 1:26:25With your life.

1:26:27 > 1:26:30You above all people should know what that feels like.

1:26:44 > 1:26:48# I was born by the river

1:26:50 > 1:26:53# In a little tent

1:26:53 > 1:26:55# Oh, and just like the river

1:26:55 > 1:27:00# I've been running ever since

1:27:00 > 1:27:06# It's been a long A long time coming

1:27:06 > 1:27:11# But I know a change gon' come

1:27:13 > 1:27:15# Oh, yes, it will

1:27:17 > 1:27:21# It's been too hard livin'

1:27:21 > 1:27:26# But I'm afraid to die

1:27:28 > 1:27:31# Cos I don't know what's up there

1:27:31 > 1:27:33# Beyond the sky

1:27:33 > 1:27:40# It's been a long A long time coming

1:27:40 > 1:27:45# But I know a change gon' come... #

1:27:46 > 1:27:47Good night.

1:27:47 > 1:27:50# Oh, yes, it will

1:27:53 > 1:27:58# Then I go to my brother

1:28:01 > 1:28:07# And I say, brother Help me, please

1:28:09 > 1:28:15# But he winds up knocking me

1:28:18 > 1:28:21# I got on my knees

1:28:21 > 1:28:28# Lord, there's been times that I thought

1:28:28 > 1:28:33# I couldn't last for long

1:28:35 > 1:28:40# But now I think I'm able to carry on

1:28:40 > 1:28:47# It's been a long A long time coming

1:28:47 > 1:28:52# But I know a change gon' come

1:28:52 > 1:28:56# Oh, yes, it will. #
