-His teeth are broken.

-So what?

0:00:020:00:04

Let's just wait for the post-mortem report.

0:00:040:00:06

-There's my girl.

-Good evening, Mr Powell. Welcome.

0:00:060:00:09

Sergeant Fenton. It's good to see you.

0:00:090:00:12

The job is all yours, if you still want it?

0:00:130:00:16

Thank you so much, Inspector Briggs!

0:00:160:00:18

Mr Powell would never let me quit in any case.

0:00:180:00:21

Beautiful!

0:00:210:00:23

-You paid that bookie yet?

-Why?

0:00:230:00:25

I have a feeling it's not going to be Maddock's night.

0:00:250:00:28

-You don't want to disappoint me, do you?

-Please don't do that.

0:00:280:00:32

Please! Someone help me, please!

0:00:320:00:35

So she said, if I can't hold it in two hands, I ain't interested!

0:01:060:01:10

Hello, Lizzy. What'll it be today, then?

0:01:130:01:15

-How much are your potatoes?

-Penny a pound.

0:01:150:01:17

I'll have five pounds for threepence.

0:01:170:01:19

-Will you now?

-Take it or leave it.

-Oh, go on, then.

0:01:190:01:23

Good job all my customers aren't as sharp as you, Lizzy.

0:01:230:01:25

I'd be bankrupt within a week!

0:01:250:01:27

Morning, Mr Walker.

0:01:300:01:31

-Officer.

-You're blocking the pavement again.

0:01:310:01:34

I'll, erm... I'll move them in a mo.

0:01:340:01:37

-There you go. What did we say? Three shillings?

-Nice try!

0:01:380:01:43

-Why aren't you at school?

-There's nothing in for tea.

0:01:430:01:46

How about some fresh eggs?

0:01:470:01:49

Your dad needs to keep his strength up.

0:01:490:01:51

-I've got no more money.

-On the house.

0:01:510:01:53

-Tell your dad, good luck from me.

-Thanks, Mr Walker.

0:01:530:01:57

-Where do you live?

-Ackerman Street. Why?

0:01:570:01:59

Because I might want a word with your parents.

0:01:590:02:02

Her dad's Mike Maddock. You going to tune in for the big fight?

0:02:020:02:05

Two men knocking lumps out of each other? I see enough of that when the pubs kick out.

0:02:050:02:09

-I'll go to school once I've got these home.

-See that you do.

0:02:110:02:14

Tough little thing. Takes after her old man.

0:02:140:02:17

OK, OK. I'm moving them.

0:02:190:02:21

Please, no! No!

0:02:210:02:24

-You can't keep me here.

-It won't be forever.

0:02:240:02:26

-Why are you doing this?

-We don't have a choice.

0:02:260:02:29

Good girl.

0:02:330:02:35

-Help me, please! Help!

-KNOCK ON DOOR

0:02:370:02:39

Be quiet!

0:02:390:02:42

-I can handle her.

-You've had your chance.

0:02:420:02:45

Doctor, you've got to help me. No! No!

0:02:450:02:47

-You know this isn't right.

-I've got my orders. So have you.

0:02:470:02:50

-Why are you letting them do this?

-Ned!

0:02:500:02:52

Do you want me to tell him you're not co-operating?

0:02:520:02:55

Shhh.

0:02:570:02:58

No!

0:03:000:03:01

I just want to go home.

0:03:070:03:09

Didn't you see it?

0:03:130:03:15

Real live chimps, dressed up, drinking tea!

0:03:150:03:17

Those and the spuds comes to two and six.

0:03:170:03:20

-Drinking tea!

-There you go.

-Never seen anything like it!

0:03:200:03:23

-What are you up to Brody?

-Nothing, no. Just looking for a ripe one.

0:03:240:03:28

Well, show me some cash or sling your hook.

0:03:280:03:30

-Haven't you got anything smaller?

-Sorry.

0:03:320:03:35

-Five and five makes ten. You come back again soon now.

-Thank you.

0:03:360:03:41

-Sorry.

-Watch it!

-Completely my fault. There you go.

0:03:440:03:47

No harm done, eh?

0:03:470:03:48

Mrs Coles, your husband's partial to a sprout, isn't he?

0:03:480:03:51

Not interrupting, am I?

0:04:290:04:31

Sorry to interrupt your hard work, Inspector,

0:04:400:04:43

only I've had the Chief Constable on the telephone all morning.

0:04:430:04:46

His wife used this to try and pay for their Sunday joint.

0:04:460:04:50

Ink's good, paper's not quite right.

0:04:520:04:55

The Chief wants whoever's responsible hung, drawn and quartered.

0:04:550:04:58

But arresting them will do for now.

0:04:580:05:01

You want me to sideline a murder investigation for one dodgy ten shilling note?

0:05:010:05:05

-You've got proof that Pembrook was murdered?

-Still waiting for the post mortem report.

0:05:050:05:09

You're not going to solve anything sitting around here drinking tea.

0:05:090:05:12

-It seems to work all right for Divisional, sir!

-Actually that's not the first fake.

0:05:120:05:16

-They've been popping up all over the place.

-This is the first I've heard of it.

0:05:160:05:20

And I thought you Met boys were meant to be on the ball.

0:05:200:05:22

DI Harper is still finding his bearings, sir.

0:05:220:05:26

I could show DI Harper around, sir. Help him find his bearings.

0:05:260:05:30

I don't care how it's done. Just get the Chief Constable off my back.

0:05:300:05:34

Yes, sir.

0:05:350:05:37

Right. Our priority is finding Rebecca Jones.

0:05:400:05:43

We don't have a photo but you've all got Dawson's description.

0:05:430:05:46

Check all the cafes, bus station, boarding houses.

0:05:460:05:50

Someone must have seen her.

0:05:500:05:52

Didn't you hear Coulson?

0:05:520:05:54

He wants us to concentrate on the counterfeiters.

0:05:540:05:56

Maybe it's a London thing, but, unlike you,

0:05:570:06:00

I can do more than one job at a time.

0:06:000:06:02

Thought we had a deal?

0:06:090:06:11

But it's our wash day.

0:06:110:06:12

Can't your mother do this?

0:06:120:06:14

She died.

0:06:140:06:16

It's just me, Dad, and my little sisters now.

0:06:160:06:18

If I give you a hand, do you promise you'll go to school?

0:06:200:06:23

-It must be exciting, being a police woman.

-It has its moments.

0:06:260:06:30

-What's your name?

-WPC Dawson.

0:06:300:06:32

Gina to my friends.

0:06:320:06:34

So, where's your dad now?

0:06:370:06:39

At the gym.

0:06:390:06:41

He had to stop boxing when Mum got so ill,

0:06:410:06:43

so he's got to train really hard for tomorrow.

0:06:430:06:46

-You must be very proud.

-Of course. He's my dad.

0:06:460:06:49

Stella. Love of my life.

0:06:560:06:59

Drinks are on me, gents!

0:06:590:07:02

CHEERING

0:07:020:07:04

-Yeah, very funny, Linus.

-Whose joking?

0:07:040:07:06

So, what do you think? Latest style. 100% wool. Pure silk lining.

0:07:100:07:15

Go on, have a feel if you like.

0:07:150:07:17

Where did you nick it from?

0:07:170:07:20

Receipt. Thank you very much. Burtons the tailor, if you please.

0:07:200:07:25

Perfect for taking a lady like you out on the town.

0:07:250:07:28

I know your idea of treating a girl.

0:07:280:07:30

It's a bag of chips in the park and then a quick fumble up the alley.

0:07:300:07:34

Please! I was thinking a proper restaurant. Three courses.

0:07:340:07:38

As much port and lemon as you can drink.

0:07:380:07:40

-I know what you're after.

-You've kept me waiting long enough.

0:07:400:07:44

I won't just give it away to anyone.

0:07:440:07:46

No, of course not. Wouldn't expect you to, classy bird like you.

0:07:460:07:49

That is why I got you...

0:07:490:07:52

..this.

0:07:530:07:55

Get out of my way! Is it rabbit?

0:07:590:08:01

Better than that. Squirrel.

0:08:010:08:04

Oh, Linus! It's beautiful.

0:08:060:08:09

Mr Maddock. I need to talk to you about your daughter.

0:08:230:08:27

-Which one?

-Lizzy.

-Something's happened to her?

0:08:280:08:31

-No. She hasn't been going to school.

-And you came here for that?

0:08:310:08:35

-I could just report her to the truant officer.

-What's stopping you?

0:08:350:08:39

I know it must be hard without your wife.

0:08:420:08:44

-You know nothing.

-I know most of the chores fall on Lizzy's shoulders.

0:08:470:08:51

-She's a strong girl.

-She's still a child.

0:08:510:08:54

Tomorrow night, everything's going to change.

0:08:540:08:57

-Because of one boxing match?

-Win and I'll be back on the circuit.

0:08:570:09:00

Regular fights. Good money.

0:09:000:09:02

Until then, I need Lizzy to help out.

0:09:040:09:06

And if you lose?

0:09:090:09:10

You must think I'm a fool!

0:09:190:09:21

-Come on, Turner. Call me a thief again. I dare you!

-All right, break it up.

0:09:210:09:25

Get in. In!

0:09:250:09:27

-What's going on?

-I went in there to buy some river salts for the missus

0:09:300:09:34

and he starts shouting that I'm trying to pull a fast one.

0:09:340:09:36

-Another one for the collection.

-But it can't be a dud.

0:09:360:09:39

They're nearly perfect. You're not the only one to be fooled.

0:09:390:09:43

Who gave it to you, Harry?

0:09:430:09:45

A woman. Never seen her before. It's the only note I got today. Bought spuds and onions.

0:09:450:09:50

-Description?

-Forties. Maybe older. She was...

0:09:500:09:53

..well, ordinary.

0:09:530:09:55

30 years I've been in business, I've never been had before.

0:09:550:09:59

-She'll just be the dropper.

-The what?

0:09:590:10:01

She goes around, buying small value items with the fake notes

0:10:010:10:04

then takes the bona fide change back to the counterfeiters.

0:10:040:10:07

-This is evidence now.

-Don't I get compensation?

0:10:070:10:10

The police don't compensate for stupidity, Harry.

0:10:100:10:13

Ah, nice! Thank you very much!

0:10:130:10:16

So, she's been all over Brinford buying everything from King Edwards

0:10:160:10:20

to a diamond ring, and we're still no closer to finding her.

0:10:200:10:23

You can't pump out this much dodgy cash without someone hearing about it.

0:10:230:10:26

Leave it with me.

0:10:280:10:29

Sergeant Fenton.

0:10:440:10:46

So your fingers aren't broken.

0:10:460:10:48

No. Should they be?

0:10:500:10:52

What other reason would you have for not phoning me?

0:10:520:10:55

-About what?

-Dodgy ten shilling notes popping up all over town.

0:10:550:10:59

You must have heard something.

0:11:010:11:02

Erm, no. No. I wish I had. Good ones are they?

0:11:040:11:07

Good enough to fool idiots, yes.

0:11:070:11:09

Well, this is the first I've heard about it. Cross my heart.

0:11:090:11:12

Suppose I was clutching at straws,

0:11:120:11:16

expecting a bottom feeder like you to know anything tasty.

0:11:160:11:19

New suit?

0:11:210:11:22

New to me.

0:11:240:11:25

Don't tell me you've found gainful employment?

0:11:270:11:30

As if! Come on, you know me better than that, Sidney.

0:11:300:11:34

No, it was this horse of mine, actually.

0:11:340:11:37

It came in. Amazing odds. 20 to one.

0:11:370:11:40

No? Woo-hoo! Congratulations.

0:11:400:11:43

-What was that for?

-Not passing on the tip.

0:11:480:11:52

There was no tip. It was just luck.

0:11:520:11:54

Ear to the ground. If you hear anything...

0:11:540:11:59

Tommy. Have you found out anything interesting about the new girl?

0:12:170:12:20

She's partial to a ginger nut.

0:12:200:12:22

Has she mentioned a husband? Kids?

0:12:240:12:28

No. Why, Sarge?

0:12:280:12:30

It would be nice to know who we're working with, wouldn't it?

0:12:300:12:33

Dawson.

0:12:350:12:36

-Dawson!

-Yes, Sarge?

-Visitor.

0:12:380:12:40

-WPC Dawson!

-What happened to school?

0:12:420:12:45

But this is police business. Found this up an alley.

0:12:450:12:48

That's more important than geography, isn't it?

0:12:480:12:51

Has anyone reported losing a purse, Sarge? There's no money.

0:12:510:12:54

Then maybe it wasn't lost. Maybe it was stolen.

0:12:540:12:58

There's nothing in the book.

0:12:580:13:00

I think we've got a new recruit here, eh, Dawson?

0:13:000:13:03

-What's that?

-A prescription.

0:13:030:13:05

Freda Bradbury. Denman Street.

0:13:050:13:08

And a receipt for a diamond ring.

0:13:080:13:11

Let me see.

0:13:110:13:13

Brummmies one, Cockney boy nil.

0:13:130:13:17

Fenton, what are you doing?

0:13:170:13:19

Solving your case for you.

0:13:190:13:22

Dropper's name is Freda Bradbury. Denman Street.

0:13:220:13:25

I'll show you the way.

0:13:250:13:27

I think someone deserves a reward.

0:13:290:13:33

Right, WPC Maddock. Are you ready for duty?

0:13:330:13:38

Don't forget to press the bell. You don't want to run over any old ladies.

0:13:400:13:43

BELL RINGS

0:13:430:13:46

I'm sure you have an explanation for this, Dawson.

0:13:580:14:01

She helped with the counterfeiting case, sir.

0:14:010:14:04

This is a police station, not a playground.

0:14:040:14:06

-Get her home and get back to your duties.

-Yes, sir.

0:14:060:14:10

-Freda Bradbury?

-Yes. All she's admitted to is passing the notes. Other than that, she's clammed up.

0:14:120:14:18

A night in the sells should help her to change her mind. Come on.

0:14:180:14:21

-Why don't you do it?

-Oh, don't be such a baby.

0:14:240:14:26

Did you want me, PC Perkins?

0:14:290:14:31

Erm... Yes.

0:14:310:14:33

We... I...

0:14:330:14:35

-..was wondering...

-Yes?

0:14:360:14:39

Your husband. He doesn't mind you working?

0:14:430:14:48

I thought coppers were supposed to be observant?

0:14:480:14:50

-No ring.

-Oh, yes.

0:14:500:14:53

So there aren't any l-l-l...

0:14:530:14:56

..little Nightingales?

0:14:580:15:00

What kind of a loose woman do you take me for?

0:15:000:15:03

Oh, erm... No.

0:15:030:15:05

I'm sorry.

0:15:060:15:08

What are you doing?

0:15:110:15:13

Isn't this what you wanted? Just the two of us.

0:15:130:15:17

Alone.

0:15:170:15:18

No. I... I...

0:15:180:15:20

I can tell that you're a man who appreciates a woman of...

0:15:200:15:24

..experience.

0:15:260:15:28

Miss Nightingale, I was...

0:15:290:15:31

Is everything all right?

0:15:360:15:38

Maybe now the message will get around.

0:15:380:15:40

Susie Nightingale is not to be trifled with.

0:15:400:15:44

This has been the best day of my life.

0:15:480:15:50

Where the hell have you been? I get home, fire's out.

0:15:520:15:55

I'm barely in the door when Mrs McGinley's over giving me earache.

0:15:550:15:58

Ten minutes you told her. As if I haven't got enough on, Lizzy.

0:15:580:16:01

-Sorry, Dad.

-It's my fault Mr Maddock.

0:16:010:16:04

Sort out your sisters and get the tea on.

0:16:040:16:06

-Lizzy really helped us out today. She...

-Last week, it was Miss Jackson at the library.

0:16:070:16:12

-The week before that, one of her teachers at school.

-I don't understand.

0:16:120:16:16

She doesn't want to be a policewoman. She misses her mother.

0:16:160:16:19

And she'll keep on skipping school if she thinks she'll get more attention off you.

0:16:190:16:23

You think you're helping. You're not.

0:16:230:16:25

You must remember her. She bought potatoes.

0:16:270:16:31

-I sell half a ton a day, mate.

-She paid with a ten shilling note.

0:16:310:16:35

What's this woman to you?

0:16:350:16:37

A dear friend of the family who was robbed after leaving here.

0:16:370:16:40

Robbed? She weren't the only one. That ten bob note was a dud.

0:16:400:16:43

I'd like a word with this "dear friend" of yours.

0:16:430:16:46

Did you see anyone following her?

0:16:460:16:48

Who's going to compensate me? That's what I want to know.

0:16:480:16:51

I'm sure my associate will sort you out.

0:16:510:16:54

Give his memory a jog.

0:16:550:16:57

Oh, no, yeah, I think something is coming back. There was someone.

0:16:570:17:01

Name?

0:17:010:17:03

Brody. Linus Brody.

0:17:030:17:05

Erm, skinny, tall.

0:17:050:17:08

Erm, face like a ferret.

0:17:100:17:12

He drinks there. That's his local there.

0:17:130:17:15

I haven't taken it off you know. I even wore it in bed.

0:17:270:17:30

Now, that I would like to see.

0:17:310:17:33

Keep dreaming.

0:17:330:17:35

Come on, Stell. We had a good night last night, didn't we?

0:17:350:17:38

-Until you had to spoil it.

-Can you blame me?

0:17:380:17:41

Nice bit of squirrel like that has got to be worth more than just a kiss.

0:17:410:17:44

I want to be wooed, Linus.

0:17:440:17:47

Oh, wooed is it? What do you mean?

0:17:470:17:49

Like this?

0:17:500:17:52

Is this...

0:17:540:17:56

-Is this a proposal?

-What? Erm...

0:17:570:17:59

The answer's yes.

0:17:590:18:01

Great. Well, erm... Maybe I can get something on account then?

0:18:060:18:10

As we seem to be engaged.

0:18:100:18:12

Give me five minutes, then come upstairs.

0:18:160:18:19

A little bird told me this was your watering hole, Linus.

0:18:290:18:34

Linus? Oh, right, yes. You want Linus Brody.

0:18:350:18:38

Yes, no, we do look alike, it's true.

0:18:380:18:42

He's a bit smaller than me, though.

0:18:420:18:44

Not as good looking. Terrible acne, actually.

0:18:440:18:47

The funny thing is, you've literally just missed him.

0:18:470:18:49

If you're quick, you might catch...

0:18:490:18:51

You're making a terrible mistake!

0:18:510:18:54

-Ten bob on Maddock.

-Cheers, Fletch.

0:18:560:18:58

What's this?

0:19:010:19:03

Just making the fight a bit more interesting.

0:19:030:19:06

What odds on Maddock by a knockout?

0:19:070:19:09

-To you, sir, five to one.

-I'll have a couple of bob on that.

0:19:090:19:13

Thought you CID boys were well paid?!

0:19:130:19:15

-Make it a pound, then.

-Happy to take your money.

0:19:170:19:20

We'll see how happy you are when you have to pay out.

0:19:200:19:23

-Morning, Inspector. Any news on those counterfeiters?

-Closing in, sir.

0:19:230:19:26

-In the meantime, the postmortem report on Councillor Pembrook has arrived.

-Conclusions?

0:19:260:19:31

-It confirms that he died of an overdose of alcohol and sleeping pills.

-Like I said. Suicide.

0:19:310:19:35

The pathologist also recovered the remains of Pembrook's tooth from his stomach.

0:19:350:19:39

Which proves what?

0:19:390:19:41

That it was broken when he was forced to drink the booze and take the pills.

0:19:410:19:45

It wasn't suicide, it was murder.

0:19:450:19:47

What's your next move?

0:19:470:19:49

-I'd like another crack at the Sapphire Club.

-I thought that was a dead end.

0:19:490:19:53

Rebecca Jones is the key. She worked at the club.

0:19:530:19:56

We need to get in and find who she was friendly with.

0:19:560:19:59

But those girls aren't going talk to a copper. We need someone on the inside.

0:19:590:20:02

Right, well, who did you have in mind?

0:20:020:20:06

Looks like a night behind bars has worked its magic. She's ready to talk.

0:20:060:20:09

Thank you... WPC Dawson.

0:20:090:20:12

Whatever you think I done, I never, I didn't.

0:20:230:20:26

Please don't insult my intelligence.

0:20:260:20:28

I know that you stole from me.

0:20:290:20:31

-Who are you working for?

-Working for? No, no, no.

0:20:420:20:45

I'm a free agent. That's me.

0:20:450:20:47

Who's moving against me? Is it the Greeks?

0:20:470:20:50

Or Lenny Powell?

0:20:500:20:52

Yeah, I really don't know anything about that, Mr Crane.

0:20:530:20:56

I think Mr Brody needs a little more persuading.

0:20:560:21:00

No, no, no. There's no need for violence, please.

0:21:000:21:03

Look, the truth of the matter is, Lenny Powell, he wouldn't have me.

0:21:030:21:07

Nobody will, really. I'm a bit of a nobody, see.

0:21:070:21:10

A chancer who was in the right place at the right time.

0:21:100:21:13

Please, you've got to believe me.

0:21:130:21:15

Know what?

0:21:170:21:18

I do believe you.

0:21:190:21:21

But that doesn't change the fact that I'm out of pocket.

0:21:230:21:26

-True, but I can make that right.

-How?

0:21:260:21:28

I can return all the notes I've got left.

0:21:280:21:31

I mean, I can get them right now.

0:21:310:21:33

And the items that you've bought with my money?

0:21:330:21:36

Erm... Yes, those as well, of course.

0:21:380:21:40

Let nobody say that Charlie Crane isn't a fair man.

0:21:420:21:46

You've got two hours.

0:21:480:21:50

Right. Two hours.

0:21:500:21:52

Thank you, Charlie. Sorry. Mr Crane.

0:21:520:21:56

I should, erm... Two hours. Right.

0:21:580:22:00

What about Sandy?

0:22:030:22:05

Still sick. Won't be back until Monday.

0:22:050:22:07

Excuse me. Are you the manager?

0:22:100:22:13

Who's asking?

0:22:130:22:15

Ruby. Ruby Clarke. I'm looking for a job.

0:22:150:22:20

Have you worked in a private club before, Ruby?

0:22:200:22:23

Yes, in London. You name it, I've worked there.

0:22:230:22:27

Show me.

0:22:270:22:28

Higher.

0:22:420:22:43

Higher.

0:22:450:22:46

OK. Good.

0:22:500:22:51

Now, walk.

0:22:510:22:53

Sorry. I'm a bit out of practice.

0:23:030:23:05

You've never worked in a bar in your life, have you?

0:23:060:23:09

No. But I'm a quick learner.

0:23:090:23:12

Well? Do you want me, or not?

0:23:140:23:16

Sorry, it's just my landlady.

0:23:160:23:18

I owe her rent and if I don't pay it, she's going to kick me out.

0:23:180:23:21

I'll work really hard. I promise you won't regret it.

0:23:210:23:24

Wouldn't hurt to give her a try. She can cover for Sandy.

0:23:250:23:29

OK. Come back at six. Lottie will take care of you.

0:23:310:23:35

Here he is, lads.

0:23:410:23:43

Sorry, boys. Forgot my wallet. Next time.

0:23:430:23:46

-Stella. Where was we?

-You've got some brass.

0:23:460:23:49

But we were just about to...

0:23:490:23:50

Yes, we were, until you left me lying there in my best negligee and the last of my eau de toilette.

0:23:500:23:56

-I can explain everything.

-This better be good.

0:23:560:23:59

Erm... Your fur.

0:23:590:24:00

I love it.

0:24:020:24:04

-Yes, it's got to go back.

-Never.

0:24:040:24:06

I've just found out, it's not squirrel, it's Alsatian.

0:24:060:24:09

-I don't care if it's rat!

-It could have fleas!

0:24:090:24:12

Then get it sprayed, but it ain't leaving my shoulders!

0:24:120:24:15

Stella, it's going back and that's that!

0:24:160:24:18

Argh!

0:24:180:24:19

And you're barred!

0:24:190:24:21

What about our engagement?

0:24:250:24:27

I wouldn't marry you if you were the last man on Earth.

0:24:270:24:29

Can I at least get the ring back then?

0:24:330:24:35

GLASS SMASHES

0:24:380:24:40

Right, that's the lot.

0:24:410:24:44

Everything?

0:24:470:24:48

Every last penny.

0:24:510:24:52

What about that suit and those shoes?

0:24:560:24:58

Did you buy them with my money?

0:24:590:25:02

-Well, erm, technically, but...

-But what?

0:25:020:25:05

-Well, I mean, I threw my old clobber away, didn't I?

-That was foolish.

0:25:070:25:11

Yes, but, erm... This is all I've got to wear.

0:25:120:25:15

But it rightfully belongs to me, doesn't it?

0:25:150:25:21

Right.

0:25:270:25:29

-Talk about a needle in a haystack.

-She said it was here.

0:25:470:25:51

More like dear old Freda's given us the run-around.

0:25:560:25:58

What about that building on the other side of the canal?

0:26:010:26:04

The old paint works? Nah.

0:26:040:26:06

They'll have a night watchman.

0:26:060:26:08

Hang on, hang on.

0:26:080:26:11

You hear that?

0:26:110:26:12

WHIRRING GROWS LOUDER

0:26:160:26:18

I'll cover the back.

0:26:180:26:20

Whoa! No-one wants your grubby pants.

0:26:270:26:31

Right, so we're quits, yeah?

0:26:320:26:36

You can't seriously think I'm going to let you go

0:26:360:26:39

without teaching you a lesson?

0:26:390:26:40

Wait, wait!

0:26:430:26:44

Mr Crane, you promised. You promised!

0:26:440:26:47

DOOR OPENS

0:26:470:26:49

Knock, knock.

0:26:530:26:54

-What is going on here, then?

-Kenny.

0:26:560:26:59

Come on then, copper!

0:27:010:27:03

Put 'em up, big boy!

0:27:050:27:07

-Is that all you got?

-You going somewhere?

0:27:090:27:12

Come on!

0:27:150:27:17

HE GRUNTS

0:27:170:27:19

Get up!

0:27:230:27:24

Come on, big baby.

0:27:270:27:29

Hey! There's nowhere to go.

0:27:340:27:37

Step aside.

0:27:440:27:45

Let me go, and you'll be well rewarded.

0:27:470:27:50

Yeah?

0:27:510:27:53

How much?

0:27:540:27:56

Name your price. 500?

0:27:560:27:59

A thousand?

0:28:010:28:03

-Keep talking.

-There'll be plenty of cash to go around.

0:28:030:28:07

With these...I can set up anywhere.

0:28:070:28:11

-Start printing again in days.

-Show me.

0:28:110:28:13

What are you doing? Do you know how much these plates are worth?

0:28:200:28:23

To you? Five to ten years.

0:28:230:28:26

# There's so many heartaches

0:28:280:28:33

# In this world of ours. #

0:28:340:28:39

Your drinks, gentlemen.

0:28:410:28:42

Get off me!

0:28:420:28:44

You stupid mare!

0:28:440:28:46

You know the rules - no touching.

0:28:470:28:49

I can touch whatever I fancy.

0:28:490:28:53

Ooh!

0:28:530:28:55

I like a feisty one.

0:28:550:28:57

-Is everything OK here?

-OK?

0:28:570:28:59

Look what your tart did.

0:29:000:29:02

Erm...send me the cleaning bill.

0:29:030:29:05

That's not going to cut it.

0:29:050:29:07

How about a nice bottle of champagne on the house?

0:29:080:29:10

How about five minutes out the back?

0:29:100:29:13

See how sorry she really is.

0:29:140:29:16

It's her first night, Mr Powell.

0:29:160:29:18

She doesn't know who anyone is yet.

0:29:180:29:21

OK. Ned, enough.

0:29:210:29:23

Ned!

0:29:260:29:28

Well, that was a good warm up, but we've got a real fight to go to.

0:29:300:29:33

Excuse me.

0:29:350:29:37

Listen to them. Place is packed to the rafters.

0:29:510:29:55

My runners are taking cash hand over fist.

0:29:560:29:58

Everyone's a sucker for a comeback story.

0:29:580:30:00

-I won't disappoint them, Mr Powell.

-Oh, but you will, Michael.

0:30:000:30:03

-You're going to break a lot of hearts tonight.

-I can take Grogan.

0:30:050:30:08

But you won't.

0:30:080:30:10

Fifth round - you'll take a dive.

0:30:110:30:13

-I've always fought clean.

-Pride doesn't put food on the table.

0:30:150:30:17

I can go all the way this time.

0:30:170:30:19

You had your chance.

0:30:190:30:21

We could have made a lot of money together,

0:30:210:30:23

-but you chose to stay at home and play nursemaid.

-What?

0:30:230:30:25

So now you get out there and you do as you're told.

0:30:250:30:30

Turn it up, then.

0:30:390:30:40

RADIO: '..one of the most eagerly-anticipated boxing matches.

0:30:400:30:43

'There's not a spare seat to be had as the crowd wait to greet their hero.

0:30:430:30:47

'And here we go, round one.'

0:30:470:30:49

These heels will be the death of me.

0:30:560:30:59

You're doing well.

0:30:590:31:01

First night and you've already got the wrong side

0:31:010:31:03

of one of the most powerful men in the Midlands.

0:31:030:31:07

Who is this Lenny Powell?

0:31:070:31:09

Someone to steer clear of.

0:31:090:31:12

Well, you seem to know how to handle him.

0:31:120:31:14

Because I keep these out...

0:31:140:31:17

and this shut.

0:31:170:31:19

You'd best learn to do the same.

0:31:200:31:22

-Help yourself.

-From an admirer?

0:31:270:31:30

But the feeling's not mutual?

0:31:310:31:33

He sends me soft centres and gin.

0:31:330:31:36

He should know I'm a champagne and roses kind of girl.

0:31:360:31:39

Bit of a turn up, wasn't it?

0:31:420:31:43

Town councillor found dead in a boarding house.

0:31:450:31:48

-You know he was a member?

-Here? Never!

0:31:490:31:53

Oh, he couldn't stay away.

0:31:530:31:56

Took a fancy to one of the girls.

0:31:560:31:58

Wasn't you, was it?

0:31:580:32:00

No.

0:32:010:32:03

Redheads were his thing.

0:32:030:32:04

As soon as he saw Rebecca, he was hooked.

0:32:060:32:09

Took them on a weekend in Blackpool.

0:32:100:32:12

You must get good tips.

0:32:130:32:15

Lenny Powell runs a private poker game.

0:32:150:32:18

He pays me and Rebecca to serve drinks -

0:32:180:32:20

keeps the punters well-oiled.

0:32:200:32:22

That's where Rebecca met Daniel.

0:32:230:32:25

I tried to warn her he was trouble.

0:32:250:32:27

He loved the cards.

0:32:280:32:31

Trouble is, cards didn't love him.

0:32:310:32:33

He owed money all over town.

0:32:350:32:37

Ned told me he was into Mr Powell for hundreds.

0:32:380:32:41

Rebecca must be upset about Daniel.

0:32:430:32:47

I wouldn't know.

0:32:470:32:49

No-one's seen her for days.

0:32:490:32:51

Maybe she's staying with relatives?

0:32:530:32:55

I'm the closest thing she's got to any family.

0:32:550:32:59

You're worried about her, aren't you?

0:32:590:33:01

Her lover's dead. She's missing.

0:33:010:33:04

Course I'm worried.

0:33:050:33:07

Come on, ladies.

0:33:070:33:08

I don't pay you for sitting around on your assets.

0:33:080:33:11

Beginning of the fifth,

0:33:210:33:22

and it's almost even between these middleweight pugilists -

0:33:220:33:25

Mike Maddock and the golden boy, Jake Grogan -

0:33:250:33:28

in a classic battle of youth versus experience.

0:33:280:33:32

Grogan is dancing around, looking for an opening.

0:33:320:33:34

He's had his opponents on the ropes several times,

0:33:340:33:36

but Maddock's still good for a punch.

0:33:360:33:39

Grogan tries a little combination,

0:33:390:33:41

but Maddock counters with one of his own.

0:33:410:33:43

A couple of jabs and a right hook, which has Grogan backing away,

0:33:430:33:46

shaking his head.

0:33:460:33:48

Oh, it's all Maddock now, he's opened a cut over Grogan's left eye.

0:33:480:33:51

Grogan needs to keep off the ropes.

0:33:510:33:54

But Maddock's in again, a left, then a right to the body and...

0:33:540:33:59

I don't believe it!

0:33:590:34:01

'Maddock's backing off!'

0:34:010:34:03

What is he doing? Grogan has got his feet moving again.

0:34:030:34:06

He counterattacks with a couple of jabs then a crunching uppercut

0:34:060:34:09

and he's down.

0:34:090:34:11

Maddock is on the canvas, ladies and gentlemen. He's not moving.

0:34:110:34:14

The man who has never been knocked out in 35 bouts

0:34:140:34:18

is being counted out.

0:34:180:34:20

-No, wait!

-Four!

0:34:200:34:22

Maddock's up on his knees.

0:34:230:34:24

Five! Six!

0:34:240:34:27

-Seven!

-He's back on his feet again at the count of eight.

0:34:280:34:32

-Yes! Come on!

-Come on!

0:34:320:34:34

Grogan is moving in, he wants to end this here and now.

0:34:350:34:38

A couple of jabs, and there was the haymaker,

0:34:380:34:40

but Maddock saw it coming and ducked underneath.

0:34:400:34:42

And here he comes with his counterattack.

0:34:420:34:44

There is a left and a hard right to the head and another.

0:34:440:34:47

This is incredible. This is a night Maddock will remember.

0:34:470:34:50

Grogan's legs look like jelly.

0:34:500:34:51

There's that right again!

0:34:510:34:54

And he sticks out a left and Grogan is down!

0:34:540:34:58

Ref starts his count, but I don't think Grogan is getting up.

0:34:580:35:01

And his second's thrown in the towel.

0:35:010:35:03

And it's all over.

0:35:030:35:06

THEY CHEER

0:35:060:35:08

Your winner is Mike "The Mallet" Maddock!

0:35:080:35:11

Listen to that crowd. What a comeback!

0:35:130:35:16

Take my word for it, ladies and gentlemen,

0:35:160:35:17

we are going to be seeing more of Mike Maddock.

0:35:170:35:20

A few more bouts like that,

0:35:200:35:21

and he'll be challenging for the middleweight belt.

0:35:210:35:23

This is all your own doing.

0:35:280:35:30

Here. Punters don't pay to see tears.

0:35:300:35:34

Just tell yourself this won't last forever.

0:35:340:35:36

It's the only way to survive.

0:35:360:35:38

That worked for you, has it?

0:35:380:35:40

Do whatever he wants. It'll be over quicker.

0:35:410:35:42

KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:35:420:35:45

I need you. Now!

0:35:480:35:51

Wait there.

0:35:530:35:55

What's the world coming to when you can't trust someone to be dishonest?

0:35:580:36:02

A month's wages down the swanny,

0:36:040:36:06

and that new DI's being treated like he's God's gift.

0:36:060:36:09

You know the rules.

0:36:090:36:11

-You leave your work on the other side of that door.

-I know,

0:36:110:36:13

I'm just saying there's no point...

0:36:130:36:15

Have you been here all night?

0:36:220:36:24

Oh, Daddy.

0:36:300:36:31

A few bruises, that's all.

0:36:380:36:40

What's wrong?

0:36:520:36:54

Nothing.

0:36:560:36:58

You won. Everything's going to be OK now.

0:36:580:37:02

Yes, it will.

0:37:100:37:11

Get the girls ready, and I'll take you to school.

0:37:160:37:19

-One pound, seven shillings...

-Cheers!

0:37:280:37:32

..and sixpence.

0:37:320:37:34

All you had to do was stay down.

0:37:370:37:39

And throw away my comeback just so some hood can make a few quid?

0:37:390:37:42

-What comeback?

-I've still got a few fights left in me.

0:37:420:37:45

Not now you got on the wrong side of Lenny Powell, you ain't.

0:37:450:37:48

No promoter in the country's going to touch you.

0:37:480:37:51

So..what do you want?

0:37:510:37:54

Protection.

0:37:540:37:55

-I thought you were the tough guy?

-Not for me. For my girls.

0:37:550:37:59

A couple of people are mad at you. No-one's going to touch your family.

0:38:010:38:04

If you won't help me, then let me talk to someone who will.

0:38:040:38:06

They'll tell you the same -

0:38:060:38:08

until a crime's been committed, there's nothing we can do.

0:38:080:38:12

PHONE RINGS

0:38:120:38:14

Hello, Brinford Police?

0:38:140:38:16

Hello, Mr Maddock. Congratulations on the fight.

0:38:160:38:20

Inspector? I managed to get these at the club.

0:38:240:38:29

Thank you.

0:38:310:38:33

That's Rebecca Jones.

0:38:340:38:35

I'll get some posters made.

0:38:370:38:39

We'll circulate them at the train station, hotels. Good work, Dawson.

0:38:390:38:43

I know some girls dream of Paris or Rome,

0:38:470:38:50

but I've always fancied Bognor.

0:38:500:38:52

You are going to love it - fresh air, the cockles,

0:38:520:38:56

nice double room, fresh start.

0:38:560:38:58

What's this? Skipping town without telling me?

0:38:580:39:02

I was going to send you a postcard.

0:39:030:39:05

How can you afford a holiday?

0:39:050:39:06

That horse of mine, it came in again. What are the chances?!

0:39:070:39:10

Oi! Get your maulers off him.

0:39:100:39:12

It's all right, we're old mates.

0:39:120:39:14

You listen to me. Jockey, stable boy, trainer -

0:39:140:39:18

I don't care who's been whispering in your lug hole,

0:39:180:39:21

but you said you'd cut me in, and you ain't.

0:39:210:39:23

Which means you owe me.

0:39:230:39:25

Yeah. You're right. There you go.

0:39:250:39:27

Well, that was too easy.

0:39:290:39:31

Careful!

0:39:320:39:34

So the nags have been good to you, eh?

0:39:370:39:39

You cretin. You know these are duds, don't you?

0:39:400:39:43

Sh! That's why we're going away, innit? Another town, who'd know?

0:39:430:39:48

-You what?

-Your choice -

0:39:520:39:55

destroy the evidence or I'll run you in.

0:39:550:39:57

Oh, come on, you've got to be kidding me.

0:39:570:39:59

Can't you leave me with something? I'm on a promise here.

0:39:590:40:02

Have you gone mad?

0:40:120:40:14

They're fake, my love. Like everything about him.

0:40:140:40:17

Top to toe.

0:40:190:40:21

You were going to pay for our new life with dodgy money?

0:40:210:40:24

Don't mean I love you any less.

0:40:240:40:25

Next thing, you'll be telling me my ring's knocked off!

0:40:250:40:28

If I ever see you again, it'll be too soon!

0:40:290:40:32

Stella, sweetheart! Stella, don't, please! Stella!

0:40:320:40:36

PHONE RINGS

0:40:410:40:44

-Sergeant Fenton.

-What are you doing on number four beat?

0:40:460:40:49

What do you want, Swift?

0:40:490:40:50

-Canal Street Boxing Club.

-What about it?

0:40:500:40:52

There's been a break in. And if you see PC Evans, ask him to call in.

0:40:520:40:56

It's on my way. I'll deal with it.

0:40:560:40:58

Hello?

0:41:010:41:03

Hello?

0:41:050:41:06

Hey!

0:41:080:41:09

Maddock? Maddock?

0:41:130:41:16

Don't you die on me, boy.

0:41:180:41:19

Michael!

0:41:200:41:22

Maddock, stay with me. Mikey!

0:41:230:41:27

He took a beating that would have killed most men.

0:41:300:41:33

Local hero at death's door.

0:41:330:41:35

We're going to face a lot of questions from the press.

0:41:370:41:40

-If you need any help.

-Thank you, sir.

0:41:400:41:42

Did he say anything...this morning, Sarge?

0:41:420:41:44

-Hey?

-Mike Maddock. You were talking to him.

0:41:480:41:52

-Maddock was here?

-Yes, sir.

0:41:520:41:55

Why?

0:41:550:41:57

He just wanted to say thank you...

0:41:570:41:59

..for showing his daughter around the station.

0:41:590:42:02

Has anyone told his girls yet?

0:42:020:42:04

-Best if it comes from me.

-If you're sure you're up to it, Dawson?

0:42:040:42:08

-Yes, sir.

-What's going to happen to them?

0:42:080:42:10

If there's no other family, child welfare will have to be involved.

0:42:100:42:14

Sergeant Fenton. Go with her, please.

0:42:190:42:21

KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:42:240:42:27

-Gina!

-Hello, Lizzy.

-Come in, I'll put the kettle on.

0:42:300:42:33

We've...come to talk to you about your dad.

0:42:400:42:44

He's not here.

0:42:440:42:45

-I know.

-What's going on?

0:42:470:42:49

I've got some bad news.

0:42:500:42:52

What is it? You're scaring me.

0:42:520:42:55

Your dad, he's in hospital.

0:42:570:42:59

He's had an accident?

0:42:590:43:01

It wasn't an accident.

0:43:020:43:04

I don't understand.

0:43:040:43:05

Lizzy, he's been attacked.

0:43:080:43:10

Sergeant Fenton, he found him and...

0:43:130:43:17

He's in a bad way.

0:43:170:43:19

But he's strong.

0:43:200:43:23

He'll be all right.

0:43:230:43:24

The doctors are doing everything they can.

0:43:250:43:27

-Who did it?

-We don't know.

0:43:350:43:38

But you'll find them?

0:43:380:43:40

We'll do our best.

0:43:400:43:41

No! You've got to promise.

0:43:410:43:46

Promise you'll find the person who hurt my daddy.
