0:00:02 > 0:00:04- His teeth are broken.- So what?

0:00:04 > 0:00:06Let's just wait for the post-mortem report.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09- There's my girl. - Good evening, Mr Powell. Welcome.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12Sergeant Fenton. It's good to see you.

0:00:13 > 0:00:16The job is all yours, if you still want it?

0:00:16 > 0:00:18Thank you so much, Inspector Briggs!

0:00:18 > 0:00:21Mr Powell would never let me quit in any case.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23Beautiful!

0:00:23 > 0:00:25- You paid that bookie yet?- Why?

0:00:25 > 0:00:28I have a feeling it's not going to be Maddock's night.

0:00:28 > 0:00:32- You don't want to disappoint me, do you?- Please don't do that.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35Please! Someone help me, please!

0:01:06 > 0:01:10So she said, if I can't hold it in two hands, I ain't interested!

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Hello, Lizzy. What'll it be today, then?

0:01:15 > 0:01:17- How much are your potatoes? - Penny a pound.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19I'll have five pounds for threepence.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23- Will you now?- Take it or leave it. - Oh, go on, then.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Good job all my customers aren't as sharp as you, Lizzy.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27I'd be bankrupt within a week!

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Morning, Mr Walker.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Officer. - You're blocking the pavement again.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37I'll, erm... I'll move them in a mo.

0:01:38 > 0:01:43- There you go. What did we say? Three shillings?- Nice try!

0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Why aren't you at school? - There's nothing in for tea.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49How about some fresh eggs?

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Your dad needs to keep his strength up.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53- I've got no more money. - On the house.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Tell your dad, good luck from me. - Thanks, Mr Walker.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Where do you live? - Ackerman Street. Why?

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Because I might want a word with your parents.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Her dad's Mike Maddock. You going to tune in for the big fight?

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Two men knocking lumps out of each other? I see enough of that when the pubs kick out.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14- I'll go to school once I've got these home.- See that you do.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Tough little thing. Takes after her old man.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21OK, OK. I'm moving them.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Please, no! No!

0:02:24 > 0:02:26- You can't keep me here. - It won't be forever.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Why are you doing this? - We don't have a choice.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Good girl.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Help me, please! Help! - KNOCK ON DOOR

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Be quiet!

0:02:42 > 0:02:45- I can handle her. - You've had your chance.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Doctor, you've got to help me. No! No!

0:02:47 > 0:02:50- You know this isn't right. - I've got my orders. So have you.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Why are you letting them do this? - Ned!

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Do you want me to tell him you're not co-operating?

0:02:57 > 0:02:58Shhh.

0:03:00 > 0:03:01No!

0:03:07 > 0:03:09I just want to go home.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Didn't you see it?

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Real live chimps, dressed up, drinking tea!

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Those and the spuds comes to two and six.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Drinking tea!- There you go. - Never seen anything like it!

0:03:24 > 0:03:28- What are you up to Brody?- Nothing, no. Just looking for a ripe one.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Well, show me some cash or sling your hook.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Haven't you got anything smaller? - Sorry.

0:03:36 > 0:03:41- Five and five makes ten. You come back again soon now.- Thank you.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Sorry.- Watch it! - Completely my fault. There you go.

0:03:47 > 0:03:48No harm done, eh?

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Mrs Coles, your husband's partial to a sprout, isn't he?

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Not interrupting, am I?

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Sorry to interrupt your hard work, Inspector,

0:04:43 > 0:04:46only I've had the Chief Constable on the telephone all morning.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50His wife used this to try and pay for their Sunday joint.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Ink's good, paper's not quite right.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58The Chief wants whoever's responsible hung, drawn and quartered.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01But arresting them will do for now.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05You want me to sideline a murder investigation for one dodgy ten shilling note?

0:05:05 > 0:05:09- You've got proof that Pembrook was murdered?- Still waiting for the post mortem report.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12You're not going to solve anything sitting around here drinking tea.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16- It seems to work all right for Divisional, sir! - Actually that's not the first fake.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20- They've been popping up all over the place.- This is the first I've heard of it.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22And I thought you Met boys were meant to be on the ball.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26DI Harper is still finding his bearings, sir.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30I could show DI Harper around, sir. Help him find his bearings.

0:05:30 > 0:05:34I don't care how it's done. Just get the Chief Constable off my back.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Yes, sir.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Right. Our priority is finding Rebecca Jones.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46We don't have a photo but you've all got Dawson's description.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50Check all the cafes, bus station, boarding houses.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Someone must have seen her.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Didn't you hear Coulson?

0:05:54 > 0:05:56He wants us to concentrate on the counterfeiters.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Maybe it's a London thing, but, unlike you,

0:06:00 > 0:06:02I can do more than one job at a time.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Thought we had a deal?

0:06:11 > 0:06:12But it's our wash day.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Can't your mother do this?

0:06:14 > 0:06:16She died.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18It's just me, Dad, and my little sisters now.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23If I give you a hand, do you promise you'll go to school?

0:06:26 > 0:06:30- It must be exciting, being a police woman.- It has its moments.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32- What's your name? - WPC Dawson.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Gina to my friends.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39So, where's your dad now?

0:06:39 > 0:06:41At the gym.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43He had to stop boxing when Mum got so ill,

0:06:43 > 0:06:46so he's got to train really hard for tomorrow.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49- You must be very proud. - Of course. He's my dad.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Stella. Love of my life.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Drinks are on me, gents!

0:07:02 > 0:07:04CHEERING

0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Yeah, very funny, Linus. - Whose joking?

0:07:10 > 0:07:15So, what do you think? Latest style. 100% wool. Pure silk lining.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Go on, have a feel if you like.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Where did you nick it from?

0:07:20 > 0:07:25Receipt. Thank you very much. Burtons the tailor, if you please.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Perfect for taking a lady like you out on the town.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30I know your idea of treating a girl.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34It's a bag of chips in the park and then a quick fumble up the alley.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38Please! I was thinking a proper restaurant. Three courses.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40As much port and lemon as you can drink.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44- I know what you're after. - You've kept me waiting long enough.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46I won't just give it away to anyone.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49No, of course not. Wouldn't expect you to, classy bird like you.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52That is why I got you...

0:07:53 > 0:07:55..this.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Get out of my way! Is it rabbit?

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Better than that. Squirrel.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Oh, Linus! It's beautiful.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27Mr Maddock. I need to talk to you about your daughter.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Which one?- Lizzy. - Something's happened to her?

0:08:31 > 0:08:35- No. She hasn't been going to school. - And you came here for that?

0:08:35 > 0:08:39- I could just report her to the truant officer.- What's stopping you?

0:08:42 > 0:08:44I know it must be hard without your wife.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51- You know nothing.- I know most of the chores fall on Lizzy's shoulders.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54- She's a strong girl. - She's still a child.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Tomorrow night, everything's going to change.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Because of one boxing match? - Win and I'll be back on the circuit.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Regular fights. Good money.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Until then, I need Lizzy to help out.

0:09:09 > 0:09:10And if you lose?

0:09:19 > 0:09:21You must think I'm a fool!

0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Come on, Turner. Call me a thief again. I dare you! - All right, break it up.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Get in. In!

0:09:30 > 0:09:34- What's going on?- I went in there to buy some river salts for the missus

0:09:34 > 0:09:36and he starts shouting that I'm trying to pull a fast one.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Another one for the collection. - But it can't be a dud.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43They're nearly perfect. You're not the only one to be fooled.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Who gave it to you, Harry?

0:09:45 > 0:09:50A woman. Never seen her before. It's the only note I got today. Bought spuds and onions.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Description?- Forties. Maybe older. She was...

0:09:53 > 0:09:55..well, ordinary.

0:09:55 > 0:09:5930 years I've been in business, I've never been had before.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01- She'll just be the dropper. - The what?

0:10:01 > 0:10:04She goes around, buying small value items with the fake notes

0:10:04 > 0:10:07then takes the bona fide change back to the counterfeiters.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10- This is evidence now. - Don't I get compensation?

0:10:10 > 0:10:13The police don't compensate for stupidity, Harry.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Ah, nice! Thank you very much!

0:10:16 > 0:10:20So, she's been all over Brinford buying everything from King Edwards

0:10:20 > 0:10:23to a diamond ring, and we're still no closer to finding her.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26You can't pump out this much dodgy cash without someone hearing about it.

0:10:28 > 0:10:29Leave it with me.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Sergeant Fenton.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48So your fingers aren't broken.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52No. Should they be?

0:10:52 > 0:10:55What other reason would you have for not phoning me?

0:10:55 > 0:10:59- About what?- Dodgy ten shilling notes popping up all over town.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02You must have heard something.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Erm, no. No. I wish I had. Good ones are they?

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Good enough to fool idiots, yes.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Well, this is the first I've heard about it. Cross my heart.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16Suppose I was clutching at straws,

0:11:16 > 0:11:19expecting a bottom feeder like you to know anything tasty.

0:11:21 > 0:11:22New suit?

0:11:24 > 0:11:25New to me.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Don't tell me you've found gainful employment?

0:11:30 > 0:11:34As if! Come on, you know me better than that, Sidney.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37No, it was this horse of mine, actually.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40It came in. Amazing odds. 20 to one.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43No? Woo-hoo! Congratulations.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52- What was that for? - Not passing on the tip.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54There was no tip. It was just luck.

0:11:54 > 0:11:59Ear to the ground. If you hear anything...

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Tommy. Have you found out anything interesting about the new girl?

0:12:20 > 0:12:22She's partial to a ginger nut.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28Has she mentioned a husband? Kids?

0:12:28 > 0:12:30No. Why, Sarge?

0:12:30 > 0:12:33It would be nice to know who we're working with, wouldn't it?

0:12:35 > 0:12:36Dawson.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Dawson!- Yes, Sarge?- Visitor.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45- WPC Dawson! - What happened to school?

0:12:45 > 0:12:48But this is police business. Found this up an alley.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51That's more important than geography, isn't it?

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Has anyone reported losing a purse, Sarge? There's no money.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58Then maybe it wasn't lost. Maybe it was stolen.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00There's nothing in the book.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03I think we've got a new recruit here, eh, Dawson?

0:13:03 > 0:13:05- What's that? - A prescription.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08Freda Bradbury. Denman Street.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11And a receipt for a diamond ring.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Let me see.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17Brummmies one, Cockney boy nil.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Fenton, what are you doing?

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Solving your case for you.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Dropper's name is Freda Bradbury. Denman Street.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I'll show you the way.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33I think someone deserves a reward.

0:13:33 > 0:13:38Right, WPC Maddock. Are you ready for duty?

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Don't forget to press the bell. You don't want to run over any old ladies.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46BELL RINGS

0:13:58 > 0:14:01I'm sure you have an explanation for this, Dawson.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04She helped with the counterfeiting case, sir.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06This is a police station, not a playground.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10- Get her home and get back to your duties.- Yes, sir.

0:14:12 > 0:14:18- Freda Bradbury?- Yes. All she's admitted to is passing the notes. Other than that, she's clammed up.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21A night in the sells should help her to change her mind. Come on.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26- Why don't you do it? - Oh, don't be such a baby.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Did you want me, PC Perkins?

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Erm... Yes.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35We... I...

0:14:36 > 0:14:39- ..was wondering...- Yes?

0:14:43 > 0:14:48Your husband. He doesn't mind you working?

0:14:48 > 0:14:50I thought coppers were supposed to be observant?

0:14:50 > 0:14:53- No ring.- Oh, yes.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56So there aren't any l-l-l...

0:14:58 > 0:15:00..little Nightingales?

0:15:00 > 0:15:03What kind of a loose woman do you take me for?

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Oh, erm... No.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08I'm sorry.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13What are you doing?

0:15:13 > 0:15:17Isn't this what you wanted? Just the two of us.

0:15:17 > 0:15:18Alone.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20No. I... I...

0:15:20 > 0:15:24I can tell that you're a man who appreciates a woman of...

0:15:26 > 0:15:28..experience.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Miss Nightingale, I was...

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Is everything all right?

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Maybe now the message will get around.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44Susie Nightingale is not to be trifled with.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50This has been the best day of my life.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Where the hell have you been? I get home, fire's out.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58I'm barely in the door when Mrs McGinley's over giving me earache.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Ten minutes you told her. As if I haven't got enough on, Lizzy.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Sorry, Dad. - It's my fault Mr Maddock.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Sort out your sisters and get the tea on.

0:16:07 > 0:16:12- Lizzy really helped us out today. She...- Last week, it was Miss Jackson at the library.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16- The week before that, one of her teachers at school. - I don't understand.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19She doesn't want to be a policewoman. She misses her mother.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23And she'll keep on skipping school if she thinks she'll get more attention off you.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25You think you're helping. You're not.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31You must remember her. She bought potatoes.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35- I sell half a ton a day, mate. - She paid with a ten shilling note.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37What's this woman to you?

0:16:37 > 0:16:40A dear friend of the family who was robbed after leaving here.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Robbed? She weren't the only one. That ten bob note was a dud.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46I'd like a word with this "dear friend" of yours.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Did you see anyone following her?

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Who's going to compensate me? That's what I want to know.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54I'm sure my associate will sort you out.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Give his memory a jog.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01Oh, no, yeah, I think something is coming back. There was someone.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Name?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Brody. Linus Brody.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Erm, skinny, tall.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Erm, face like a ferret.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15He drinks there. That's his local there.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30I haven't taken it off you know. I even wore it in bed.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Now, that I would like to see.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Keep dreaming.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38Come on, Stell. We had a good night last night, didn't we?

0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Until you had to spoil it. - Can you blame me?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Nice bit of squirrel like that has got to be worth more than just a kiss.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47I want to be wooed, Linus.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Oh, wooed is it? What do you mean?

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Like this?

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Is this...

0:17:57 > 0:17:59- Is this a proposal?- What? Erm...

0:17:59 > 0:18:01The answer's yes.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10Great. Well, erm... Maybe I can get something on account then?

0:18:10 > 0:18:12As we seem to be engaged.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Give me five minutes, then come upstairs.

0:18:29 > 0:18:34A little bird told me this was your watering hole, Linus.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Linus? Oh, right, yes. You want Linus Brody.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42Yes, no, we do look alike, it's true.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44He's a bit smaller than me, though.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47Not as good looking. Terrible acne, actually.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49The funny thing is, you've literally just missed him.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51If you're quick, you might catch...

0:18:51 > 0:18:54You're making a terrible mistake!

0:18:56 > 0:18:58- Ten bob on Maddock.- Cheers, Fletch.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03What's this?

0:19:03 > 0:19:06Just making the fight a bit more interesting.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09What odds on Maddock by a knockout?

0:19:09 > 0:19:13- To you, sir, five to one. - I'll have a couple of bob on that.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Thought you CID boys were well paid?!

0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Make it a pound, then. - Happy to take your money.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23We'll see how happy you are when you have to pay out.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Morning, Inspector. Any news on those counterfeiters? - Closing in, sir.

0:19:26 > 0:19:31- In the meantime, the postmortem report on Councillor Pembrook has arrived.- Conclusions?

0:19:31 > 0:19:35- It confirms that he died of an overdose of alcohol and sleeping pills.- Like I said. Suicide.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39The pathologist also recovered the remains of Pembrook's tooth from his stomach.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Which proves what?

0:19:41 > 0:19:45That it was broken when he was forced to drink the booze and take the pills.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47It wasn't suicide, it was murder.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49What's your next move?

0:19:49 > 0:19:53- I'd like another crack at the Sapphire Club. - I thought that was a dead end.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56Rebecca Jones is the key. She worked at the club.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59We need to get in and find who she was friendly with.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02But those girls aren't going talk to a copper. We need someone on the inside.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06Right, well, who did you have in mind?

0:20:06 > 0:20:09Looks like a night behind bars has worked its magic. She's ready to talk.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12Thank you... WPC Dawson.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Whatever you think I done, I never, I didn't.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Please don't insult my intelligence.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31I know that you stole from me.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Who are you working for? - Working for? No, no, no.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47I'm a free agent. That's me.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50Who's moving against me? Is it the Greeks?

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Or Lenny Powell?

0:20:53 > 0:20:56Yeah, I really don't know anything about that, Mr Crane.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00I think Mr Brody needs a little more persuading.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03No, no, no. There's no need for violence, please.

0:21:03 > 0:21:07Look, the truth of the matter is, Lenny Powell, he wouldn't have me.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Nobody will, really. I'm a bit of a nobody, see.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13A chancer who was in the right place at the right time.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Please, you've got to believe me.

0:21:17 > 0:21:18Know what?

0:21:19 > 0:21:21I do believe you.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26But that doesn't change the fact that I'm out of pocket.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28- True, but I can make that right. - How?

0:21:28 > 0:21:31I can return all the notes I've got left.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33I mean, I can get them right now.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36And the items that you've bought with my money?

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Erm... Yes, those as well, of course.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46Let nobody say that Charlie Crane isn't a fair man.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50You've got two hours.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Right. Two hours.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56Thank you, Charlie. Sorry. Mr Crane.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00I should, erm... Two hours. Right.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05What about Sandy?

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Still sick. Won't be back until Monday.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13Excuse me. Are you the manager?

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Who's asking?

0:22:15 > 0:22:20Ruby. Ruby Clarke. I'm looking for a job.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Have you worked in a private club before, Ruby?

0:22:23 > 0:22:27Yes, in London. You name it, I've worked there.

0:22:27 > 0:22:28Show me.

0:22:42 > 0:22:43Higher.

0:22:45 > 0:22:46Higher.

0:22:50 > 0:22:51OK. Good.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Now, walk.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Sorry. I'm a bit out of practice.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09You've never worked in a bar in your life, have you?

0:23:09 > 0:23:12No. But I'm a quick learner.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Well? Do you want me, or not?

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Sorry, it's just my landlady.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21I owe her rent and if I don't pay it, she's going to kick me out.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24I'll work really hard. I promise you won't regret it.

0:23:25 > 0:23:29Wouldn't hurt to give her a try. She can cover for Sandy.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35OK. Come back at six. Lottie will take care of you.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Here he is, lads.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46Sorry, boys. Forgot my wallet. Next time.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Stella. Where was we? - You've got some brass.

0:23:49 > 0:23:50But we were just about to...

0:23:50 > 0:23:56Yes, we were, until you left me lying there in my best negligee and the last of my eau de toilette.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59- I can explain everything. - This better be good.

0:23:59 > 0:24:00Erm... Your fur.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04I love it.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Yes, it's got to go back.- Never.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09I've just found out, it's not squirrel, it's Alsatian.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12- I don't care if it's rat! - It could have fleas!

0:24:12 > 0:24:15Then get it sprayed, but it ain't leaving my shoulders!

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Stella, it's going back and that's that!

0:24:18 > 0:24:19Argh!

0:24:19 > 0:24:21And you're barred!

0:24:25 > 0:24:27What about our engagement?

0:24:27 > 0:24:29I wouldn't marry you if you were the last man on Earth.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Can I at least get the ring back then?

0:24:38 > 0:24:40GLASS SMASHES

0:24:41 > 0:24:44Right, that's the lot.

0:24:47 > 0:24:48Everything?

0:24:51 > 0:24:52Every last penny.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58What about that suit and those shoes?

0:24:59 > 0:25:02Did you buy them with my money?

0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Well, erm, technically, but... - But what?

0:25:07 > 0:25:11- Well, I mean, I threw my old clobber away, didn't I?- That was foolish.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15Yes, but, erm... This is all I've got to wear.

0:25:15 > 0:25:21But it rightfully belongs to me, doesn't it?

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Right.

0:25:47 > 0:25:51- Talk about a needle in a haystack. - She said it was here.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58More like dear old Freda's given us the run-around.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04What about that building on the other side of the canal?

0:26:04 > 0:26:06The old paint works? Nah.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08They'll have a night watchman.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11Hang on, hang on.

0:26:11 > 0:26:12You hear that?

0:26:16 > 0:26:18WHIRRING GROWS LOUDER

0:26:18 > 0:26:20I'll cover the back.

0:26:27 > 0:26:31Whoa! No-one wants your grubby pants.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36Right, so we're quits, yeah?

0:26:36 > 0:26:39You can't seriously think I'm going to let you go

0:26:39 > 0:26:40without teaching you a lesson?

0:26:43 > 0:26:44Wait, wait!

0:26:44 > 0:26:47Mr Crane, you promised. You promised!

0:26:47 > 0:26:49DOOR OPENS

0:26:53 > 0:26:54Knock, knock.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59- What is going on here, then?- Kenny.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Come on then, copper!

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Put 'em up, big boy!

0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Is that all you got? - You going somewhere?

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Come on!

0:27:17 > 0:27:19HE GRUNTS

0:27:23 > 0:27:24Get up!

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Come on, big baby.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37Hey! There's nowhere to go.

0:27:44 > 0:27:45Step aside.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50Let me go, and you'll be well rewarded.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53Yeah?

0:27:54 > 0:27:56How much?

0:27:56 > 0:27:59Name your price. 500?

0:28:01 > 0:28:03A thousand?

0:28:03 > 0:28:07- Keep talking.- There'll be plenty of cash to go around.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11With these...I can set up anywhere.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13- Start printing again in days. - Show me.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23What are you doing? Do you know how much these plates are worth?

0:28:23 > 0:28:26To you? Five to ten years.

0:28:28 > 0:28:33# There's so many heartaches

0:28:34 > 0:28:39# In this world of ours. #

0:28:41 > 0:28:42Your drinks, gentlemen.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Get off me!

0:28:44 > 0:28:46You stupid mare!

0:28:47 > 0:28:49You know the rules - no touching.

0:28:49 > 0:28:53I can touch whatever I fancy.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55Ooh!

0:28:55 > 0:28:57I like a feisty one.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59- Is everything OK here? - OK?

0:29:00 > 0:29:02Look what your tart did.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05Erm...send me the cleaning bill.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07That's not going to cut it.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10How about a nice bottle of champagne on the house?

0:29:10 > 0:29:13How about five minutes out the back?

0:29:14 > 0:29:16See how sorry she really is.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18It's her first night, Mr Powell.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21She doesn't know who anyone is yet.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23OK. Ned, enough.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28Ned!

0:29:30 > 0:29:33Well, that was a good warm up, but we've got a real fight to go to.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37Excuse me.

0:29:51 > 0:29:55Listen to them. Place is packed to the rafters.

0:29:56 > 0:29:58My runners are taking cash hand over fist.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00Everyone's a sucker for a comeback story.

0:30:00 > 0:30:03- I won't disappoint them, Mr Powell. - Oh, but you will, Michael.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08- You're going to break a lot of hearts tonight.- I can take Grogan.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10But you won't.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13Fifth round - you'll take a dive.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17- I've always fought clean. - Pride doesn't put food on the table.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19I can go all the way this time.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21You had your chance.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23We could have made a lot of money together,

0:30:23 > 0:30:25- but you chose to stay at home and play nursemaid.- What?

0:30:25 > 0:30:30So now you get out there and you do as you're told.

0:30:39 > 0:30:40Turn it up, then.

0:30:40 > 0:30:43RADIO: '..one of the most eagerly-anticipated boxing matches.

0:30:43 > 0:30:47'There's not a spare seat to be had as the crowd wait to greet their hero.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49'And here we go, round one.'

0:30:56 > 0:30:59These heels will be the death of me.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01You're doing well.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03First night and you've already got the wrong side

0:31:03 > 0:31:07of one of the most powerful men in the Midlands.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09Who is this Lenny Powell?

0:31:09 > 0:31:12Someone to steer clear of.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14Well, you seem to know how to handle him.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17Because I keep these out...

0:31:17 > 0:31:19and this shut.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22You'd best learn to do the same.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30- Help yourself. - From an admirer?

0:31:31 > 0:31:33But the feeling's not mutual?

0:31:33 > 0:31:36He sends me soft centres and gin.

0:31:36 > 0:31:39He should know I'm a champagne and roses kind of girl.

0:31:42 > 0:31:43Bit of a turn up, wasn't it?

0:31:45 > 0:31:48Town councillor found dead in a boarding house.

0:31:49 > 0:31:53- You know he was a member? - Here? Never!

0:31:53 > 0:31:56Oh, he couldn't stay away.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58Took a fancy to one of the girls.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00Wasn't you, was it?

0:32:01 > 0:32:03No.

0:32:03 > 0:32:04Redheads were his thing.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09As soon as he saw Rebecca, he was hooked.

0:32:10 > 0:32:12Took them on a weekend in Blackpool.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15You must get good tips.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18Lenny Powell runs a private poker game.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20He pays me and Rebecca to serve drinks -

0:32:20 > 0:32:22keeps the punters well-oiled.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25That's where Rebecca met Daniel.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27I tried to warn her he was trouble.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31He loved the cards.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33Trouble is, cards didn't love him.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37He owed money all over town.

0:32:38 > 0:32:41Ned told me he was into Mr Powell for hundreds.

0:32:43 > 0:32:47Rebecca must be upset about Daniel.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49I wouldn't know.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51No-one's seen her for days.

0:32:53 > 0:32:55Maybe she's staying with relatives?

0:32:55 > 0:32:59I'm the closest thing she's got to any family.

0:32:59 > 0:33:01You're worried about her, aren't you?

0:33:01 > 0:33:04Her lover's dead. She's missing.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07Course I'm worried.

0:33:07 > 0:33:08Come on, ladies.

0:33:08 > 0:33:11I don't pay you for sitting around on your assets.

0:33:21 > 0:33:22Beginning of the fifth,

0:33:22 > 0:33:25and it's almost even between these middleweight pugilists -

0:33:25 > 0:33:28Mike Maddock and the golden boy, Jake Grogan -

0:33:28 > 0:33:32in a classic battle of youth versus experience.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34Grogan is dancing around, looking for an opening.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36He's had his opponents on the ropes several times,

0:33:36 > 0:33:39but Maddock's still good for a punch.

0:33:39 > 0:33:41Grogan tries a little combination,

0:33:41 > 0:33:43but Maddock counters with one of his own.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46A couple of jabs and a right hook, which has Grogan backing away,

0:33:46 > 0:33:48shaking his head.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51Oh, it's all Maddock now, he's opened a cut over Grogan's left eye.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54Grogan needs to keep off the ropes.

0:33:54 > 0:33:59But Maddock's in again, a left, then a right to the body and...

0:33:59 > 0:34:01I don't believe it!

0:34:01 > 0:34:03'Maddock's backing off!'

0:34:03 > 0:34:06What is he doing? Grogan has got his feet moving again.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09He counterattacks with a couple of jabs then a crunching uppercut

0:34:09 > 0:34:11and he's down.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14Maddock is on the canvas, ladies and gentlemen. He's not moving.

0:34:14 > 0:34:18The man who has never been knocked out in 35 bouts

0:34:18 > 0:34:20is being counted out.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22- No, wait!- Four!

0:34:23 > 0:34:24Maddock's up on his knees.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Five! Six!

0:34:28 > 0:34:32- Seven!- He's back on his feet again at the count of eight.

0:34:32 > 0:34:34- Yes! Come on!- Come on!

0:34:35 > 0:34:38Grogan is moving in, he wants to end this here and now.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40A couple of jabs, and there was the haymaker,

0:34:40 > 0:34:42but Maddock saw it coming and ducked underneath.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44And here he comes with his counterattack.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47There is a left and a hard right to the head and another.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50This is incredible. This is a night Maddock will remember.

0:34:50 > 0:34:51Grogan's legs look like jelly.

0:34:51 > 0:34:54There's that right again!

0:34:54 > 0:34:58And he sticks out a left and Grogan is down!

0:34:58 > 0:35:01Ref starts his count, but I don't think Grogan is getting up.

0:35:01 > 0:35:03And his second's thrown in the towel.

0:35:03 > 0:35:06And it's all over.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08THEY CHEER

0:35:08 > 0:35:11Your winner is Mike "The Mallet" Maddock!

0:35:13 > 0:35:16Listen to that crowd. What a comeback!

0:35:16 > 0:35:17Take my word for it, ladies and gentlemen,

0:35:17 > 0:35:20we are going to be seeing more of Mike Maddock.
