0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Quem? - Oh, Senor Ingles.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Aahhh!

0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Senor...- Obrigado.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Muito obrigado, senor.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11- Your first visit to South America? - Yes. I wish I could stay longer.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12It's a pleasant place.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Senor, congratulations, a wonderful work.- Thank you, senora.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18The President himself told my husband

0:02:18 > 0:02:20it was the occasion of the year.

0:02:21 > 0:02:26Oh, Senora. I have something for your subscription list...

0:02:26 > 0:02:28"The Victims of the Revolution."

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Perhaps I can give it to you now?

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Thank you, senor. Always SO generous.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40The wife of Martin Gallardo, the frozen meat king.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Very decent couple. Excuse me...

0:02:42 > 0:02:43Manuel...

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Pity you can't stay till Sunday.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50I've got a horse in the Jockey Club Stakes.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52You...rode...a very good race.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54MANUEL REPLIES IN PORTUGUESE

0:02:54 > 0:02:56A very good race.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00The racing's not quite straight out here.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Still, I've tried to raise the standards.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Ah, Chiquita, Chiquita!

0:03:07 > 0:03:09I hoped I'd see you.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12You run along and get yourself that little birthday present.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Oh, how sweet of you. Thank you.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22You seem to have accomplished quite a lot in one year.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25One superb year.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Just when I was beginning to believe I'd never achieve it.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32I've dreamed of a life like this for 20 years,

0:03:32 > 0:03:36and for 19 of those years, fate denied me the one necessary contact.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Still, I never quite lost sight of the goal,

0:03:39 > 0:03:42inaccessible though it often seemed to me,

0:03:42 > 0:03:45when I was merely...

0:03:45 > 0:03:48merely...a nonentity,

0:03:48 > 0:03:52among all those thousands who flock every morning into the city.

0:03:53 > 0:03:58Most men who long to be rich know inwardly they never will be.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01But I was in the unique position of having a fortune

0:04:01 > 0:04:03literally within my grasp.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06I supervised the delivery of gold bullion

0:04:06 > 0:04:09from the refinery to the bank.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Lucky I saw that.- Yes. Very lucky.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Mr Richards, with gold at 240 shillings per pound,

0:04:40 > 0:04:43that particle, estimating its value at 0.025,

0:04:43 > 0:04:46would entail a loss of approximately six shillings.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Well, check this - 100 gold bars,

0:04:48 > 0:04:54weighed to the value of £495,987.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Well, Mr Richards, your deposit will be returned

0:05:00 > 0:05:04as usual when the gold enters the bank. You are both armed?

0:05:05 > 0:05:09'I was well aware they all ridiculed me for the way I fussed and worried.

0:05:09 > 0:05:14'That was precisely what I had striven for years to achieve.'

0:05:40 > 0:05:42BUZZ

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Here we go again.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55- There's a car been following us. - That one, sir?

0:05:55 > 0:05:59Of course not! A black Chrysler. THX 375.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01- It's gone on ahead. - No sign of it now, sir.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03It's probably waiting for us. Go and have a look.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05And leave me your gun meanwhile.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12'Nobody can say my precautions were not justified.

0:06:12 > 0:06:17'Many a rascal would have risked his all for half a million,

0:06:17 > 0:06:20'not realising that gold in the form of bullion is useless

0:06:20 > 0:06:22'without a method of smuggling it abroad.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27'To find that method was my last remaining problem.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30'Meanwhile, I gave the banks their gold.'

0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Thanks, Holland. Everything in order?- Yes, sir.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39Silly question. Nothing's gone wrong in 20 years.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42That'll do, Holland.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Surely after all this time,

0:06:50 > 0:06:53you could give that poor old devil a chance.

0:06:53 > 0:06:54Oh, I'm afraid it wouldn't work, sir,

0:06:54 > 0:06:56his one and only virtue is honesty.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58No imagination...no initiative.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00'I was a potential millionaire,

0:07:00 > 0:07:02'yet I had to be satisfied

0:07:02 > 0:07:06'with eight pounds, 15 shillings, less deductions.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09'A weekly reminder that the years were passing

0:07:09 > 0:07:11'and my problem still unsolved.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15'Until my ship came home,

0:07:15 > 0:07:18'I was obliged to live at the Balmoral Private Hotel,

0:07:18 > 0:07:20'Lavender Hill.'

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Oh, Holland...

0:07:28 > 0:07:32The man of millions. Got any spare ingots for an old pal?

0:07:32 > 0:07:37- CHUCKLING: You'll be the death of me, Holland.- I sincerely trust so.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Ah, Mr Holland...

0:07:42 > 0:07:47- Always punctual. - I smell oxtail soup again.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Let's see, where did we get?

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Duke Milligan was about to take a gander

0:07:55 > 0:07:57at Nicky the Greek's hideout.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Oh, yes. Here we are.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02"I handed my fedora to a hat-check girl

0:08:02 > 0:08:05"with all that Venus de Milo had got and then more,

0:08:05 > 0:08:07"and I was admiring the more when I glimpsed something

0:08:07 > 0:08:11- "in the back of this frail that made my flesh creep..."- Ohhh.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13I know that feeling well.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16"A guy had soft-shoed out of the gaming room, quiet as a snake,

0:08:16 > 0:08:19"and I didn't need my case history of smiling Ed Montana to know

0:08:19 > 0:08:23"that sunny boy was his number one trigger man, Ricci the Filipino."

0:08:23 > 0:08:27I thought it was Little Boy Schultz who carried the rod for Mr Montana.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30It was, but remember, Montana found Schultz taking liberties

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- with that redhead. - Yes! They took him for a ride.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Only last night, wasn't it? I must be getting old.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Read on, Mr Holland.

0:08:42 > 0:08:43"this was the time.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47"And then I thought again of those 10,000 smackeroos."

0:08:47 > 0:08:48Yes...?

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Mr Holland, you're not concentrating.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58So sorry.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Good evening.

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Good evening.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Tricky business, this moving, isn't it?

0:09:30 > 0:09:35- Can I give you a hand?- Very civil of you. My name's Pendlebury.- Holland.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40If you wouldn't mind taking "Motherhood"?

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Good evening, Mr Pendlebury,

0:09:43 > 0:09:45welcome to Balmoral.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48How VERY nice to see you.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Oh... Mr Pendlebury!

0:09:52 > 0:09:57I knew you were an artistic gentleman, but really...!

0:09:57 > 0:09:58I thought... Thank you.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02I thought I made myself quite plain when I phoned, Miss Evesham.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04I'd no idea it would mean...

0:10:04 > 0:10:06There's no place to put it all.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10- What about the stable? - I suppose so.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Mind your toes, Miss Evesham.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20I'll be back shortly, Mrs Chalk.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Oh, this is capital! A ready-made studio.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31A thing I've wanted all my life. It's even got a north light.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Mr Pendlebury, just one moment...

0:10:34 > 0:10:37- My lease forbids it...- Steady!

0:10:37 > 0:10:41- Sorry.- It's all right. I had to cast her in gilding metal.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43- It's a little delicate. - Mr Pendlebury...

0:10:43 > 0:10:47- I did it in my factory. You must come and see it...- Mr Pendlebury!

0:10:47 > 0:10:51Oh, these walls... An admirable background for my canvasses.

0:10:51 > 0:10:52Mr Pendlebury!

0:10:52 > 0:10:56Let me inform you here and now that no business occupation

0:10:56 > 0:10:58may be performed on these premises.

0:10:58 > 0:11:02Dear lady, this is not my business occupation. No.

0:11:02 > 0:11:07These are my wings, my escape when the cares of the day are over.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11My business occupation is unspeakably hideous.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13I'm in the "presents from" trade.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17You know, present from Brighton, souvenir of Tunbridge Wells...

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Tourists could save themselves a lot of luggage space

0:11:20 > 0:11:23by applying to us direct for their holiday memories.

0:11:23 > 0:11:29And the irony of it is, Holland, I must design them all myself.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33I propagate British cultural depravity. Look at this!

0:11:33 > 0:11:37Anne Hathaway's cottage for keeping string in!

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Wouldn't you infinitely prefer the comparative beauty

0:11:40 > 0:11:42of an old biscuit tin?

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Southend Pier!

0:11:44 > 0:11:48I've thought for years to cut loose from it all,

0:11:48 > 0:11:50but never had the courage.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53"Of all sad words of tongue or pen,

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Forgive me. Come and see the casting room.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08We're busy on one of our export lines...

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Paperweights... We ship 1,000 a week to France.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17I shall call him "The Slave".

0:13:19 > 0:13:22My dear Mr Holland, the heat has affected you...?

0:13:22 > 0:13:26No, it wasn't the heat, I'm used to that in my job.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30- Oh, really?- Your place is very similar to the refinery.- Really?

0:13:30 > 0:13:35We turn gold into bars, you turn lead into Eiffel Towers.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36That's the only difference.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40Ahh. If I had gold to deal with...

0:13:40 > 0:13:44- Yes...?- Ah, an idle dream.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Must be a big responsibility. - No, not really.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53If anyone DID rob our van,

0:13:53 > 0:13:56it's virtually impossible to dispose of stolen bullion...

0:13:56 > 0:13:59- in this country, at any rate.- Yes.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03- I imagine so.- Of course, if it could be smuggled abroad...- What a hope!

0:14:03 > 0:14:05I wouldn't say it's out of the question.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Say one had the means of melting the stuff down...

0:14:08 > 0:14:10In the kitchen stove? What a job.

0:14:10 > 0:14:16Of course not! It would mean taking on a partner...

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Ah. Risky, bringing other people in.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20It would be essential.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23No ONE person could rob our van unaided.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26- You mean he'd need accomplices? - Precisely!

0:14:32 > 0:14:34A gang.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38- A gang! Not too easy to come by. - Oh, I don't know...

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Quite a few people would be willing to chance an arm for half a million.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53Yes... But how would you get your gold to the Continent?

0:14:55 > 0:15:00Well... Supposing one had the right sort of partner...

0:15:02 > 0:15:06..in the form of...shall we say...

0:15:07 > 0:15:09..Eiffel Tower paperweights.

0:15:14 > 0:15:19By Jove, Holland, it's a good job we're both honest men.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20It is indeed, Pendlebury.

0:15:50 > 0:15:51Come in.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Ah, Holland, come in and sit down.

0:16:00 > 0:16:04Well, Holland, you've been quite the subject of discussion lately.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07Don't look so worried, man.

0:16:07 > 0:16:11- I've persuaded the chief cashier to give you a leg-up.- A leg-up, sir?

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Promotion - to Foreign Exchange.

0:16:13 > 0:16:17- No more uncomfortable journeys in that dreary van.- But, sir!

0:16:17 > 0:16:22Ah, nonsense, don't bother to thank me. You can start next Monday.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25- But I can't, sir.- Why not? - Because...

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Because...

0:16:30 > 0:16:34- I'm too old to change my views now, sir.- One's never too old!

0:16:34 > 0:16:38Think what you can do with an extra 15 shillings a week...

0:16:38 > 0:16:42But sir, I LIKE the bullion office. It holds all I ever wished for.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45Holland, frankly, you haven't enough ambition.

0:16:45 > 0:16:50When a good opportunity comes along, grab it with both hands.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52It may not occur again.

0:16:54 > 0:16:55Very good, sir.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57I'll follow your advice.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09- So it's now or never.- This week. - Friday's delivery.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Three days to go. - And two desperadoes to find.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Bait.- Bait?

0:17:21 > 0:17:23I said bait.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Trap 'em.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Mr Pendlebury.

0:17:35 > 0:17:36Hello, Mr Pendlebury.

0:17:36 > 0:17:41Hello! What a bit of luck. Just the man I wanted to see.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45- What's the trouble? - That safe in my office.

0:17:45 > 0:17:46Something's wrong with the lock.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49I'll send a man round tomorrow.

0:17:49 > 0:17:54I wish you would. It worries me leaving the staff wages overnight.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42- Where are those guns?- Guns?

0:18:42 > 0:18:44Yes. It's essential we're armed.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Here's yours.- Is it loaded?

0:18:48 > 0:18:52Yes. It's a present from Margate. It fires a stick of rock.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02The safe's in the office over there.

0:19:04 > 0:19:09You go behind that bench and surprise anyone making for the safe.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12I'll go over here, to prevent any escape.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16- Useful. Are you alone? - Always work single-handed.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19Sensible. Very sensible. Just the same meself.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Kept on me Jack Jones ever since Nobby Curtis

0:22:21 > 0:22:23got me done for that job at Bellamy's.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Bellamy's in Bromley? - That's right. Last June.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29I was casing that joint the night you got pinched!

0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Whadya know! I'm Shorty Fisher. - Nice to meet you.- Excuse me...

0:22:32 > 0:22:37I may be slow, but do I understand you're BOTH professional criminals?

0:22:37 > 0:22:40- What else do you take us for? - What's the set-up?

0:22:40 > 0:22:42We require a team, Pendlebury,

0:22:42 > 0:22:45and if these gentlemen insist on working alone...

0:22:45 > 0:22:47Now wait a minute.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50You make it worth our while, cock, we'll work with anybody.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Well, in that case, if you'll join us in the office,

0:22:53 > 0:22:56my friend will outline what we have in mind.

0:22:59 > 0:23:03I must apologise, gentlemen, for the informal introduction.

0:23:03 > 0:23:09But my colleague and I have a certain proposition...

0:23:09 > 0:23:12I might almost call it a gilt-edged proposition.

0:23:12 > 0:23:16Although, paradoxically, it does entail a measure of risk.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20However, when I quote the anticipated dividend,

0:23:20 > 0:23:23I'm sure you'll both agree...

0:23:23 > 0:23:26- CLUNK - Not another one, surely!

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Tell him we're suited.

0:23:30 > 0:23:31Everything all right here, sir?

0:23:31 > 0:23:35Yes, thank you, officer. My partner and I are stock-taking.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37Only I saw the window open.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41- I'll close it. Thank you very much. Goodnight, Officer.- Goodnight, sir.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00And here's the order for tomorrow's consignment.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Somewhat larger than I expected - 212 bars.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04That won't worry me, sir.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Dependable till the last. I'll miss you, Holland.- You're kind, sir.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10I'll always have happy memories of the dear old bullion office.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Has Mr Abercrombie spoken to you about your holiday?

0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Yes, sir, I'm going to Paris. - You're stepping out, Holland.

0:24:16 > 0:24:17Wonderful what a little extra money can do.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Yes. It's going to make a big difference to me.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Have a go on your own now.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39That's it.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41How are you getting on?

0:24:45 > 0:24:48You must show some sense of proportion.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50The seagull is bigger than the funnel!

0:24:50 > 0:24:55Can't I do summat else, guv? Sell matches or bootlaces?

0:24:55 > 0:24:58No. Mr Holland specified a pavement artist,

0:24:58 > 0:25:00a pavement artist it's got to be.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Try again. It's coming slowly. - KNOCK AT DOOR

0:25:17 > 0:25:19You're teaching the wrong man.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22I had to change them over. Shorty can't ride a bicycle.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24CRASH

0:25:27 > 0:25:30- He can't, either. - We're learning him.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34- Why couldn't you learn Shorty? - Because Wood is colour-blind.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36What's that got to do with it?

0:25:36 > 0:25:38My dear Holland, do use your intelligence.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40If a policeman were to come along and see

0:25:40 > 0:25:42- a green sunset over a purple sea...- All right, all right.

0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Is everything else fixed? - Yes. Come along, boys.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Mr Fisher will be sitting here.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57The van will stop here at 4.30.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01You, Pendlebury, will detain the guard for at least 30 seconds.

0:26:01 > 0:26:06- Ask him for a light...anything, but keep him there.- Edgar.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08I beg your pardon?

0:26:08 > 0:26:11Isn't one supposed to say that when one's being briefed?

0:26:11 > 0:26:14- On my rare visits to the cinema... - The word is "Roger".

0:26:14 > 0:26:16- Ohhh, Roger.- To continue...

0:26:16 > 0:26:18As soon as we've captured the van,

0:26:18 > 0:26:22- you two will proceed to the warehouse.- A bit risky, that,

0:26:22 > 0:26:26- after the guards seeing him? - It's a risk we must take.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29We need everyone. We've more than 200 bars to move,

0:26:29 > 0:26:31and I must have my alibi.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34You'll gag me, bind me, tear my clothes...

0:26:34 > 0:26:39- We can't waste one second. - OK, you're the boss.- Yes.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Yes, that's right. I am.

0:26:48 > 0:26:52211...212.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57Mr Richards, your deposit will be returned in the usual way,

0:26:57 > 0:27:01as soon as the gold enters the bank.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03You're both...

0:28:34 > 0:28:35Oi!

0:28:37 > 0:28:38Oi!

0:28:38 > 0:28:43- No, you don't!- Don't what? - I saw you pinch it.

0:28:43 > 0:28:45Good gracious! Whatever must you think of me?

0:28:45 > 0:28:48I think you pinched my Monarch of the Glen last week, that's what I think.

0:28:48 > 0:28:52- No, no. Pinch a Landseer, me? - You'd better come quiet.

0:28:52 > 0:28:56- No, no, I can explain.- Charlie, get on the blower. Nine, nine, nine.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59- No, no, no.- Come along with me.

0:29:19 > 0:29:21He's picked a wrong 'un, this time.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24No, no, no! It's all a ghastly mistake, officer.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26I'm completely innocent.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33- Did you see that car? - Yes, sir. A police car.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35Nothing to be afraid of.

0:29:35 > 0:29:38I'm sure it's the same car that followed us the other day.

0:29:38 > 0:29:41- You want me to look around the corner?- Yes.

0:30:02 > 0:30:03CROWD CHATTERS

0:30:03 > 0:30:05You're mistaken.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14You've got a flat tyre there, mate.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28Help! Help!

0:30:28 > 0:30:30GUNSHOT

0:30:33 > 0:30:35Help! Police!

0:30:35 > 0:30:39- The van! They've pinched the van! - What's this?

0:30:42 > 0:30:45Hey! Stop, thief!

0:30:46 > 0:30:48Stop, thief.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55Hello, M2TW from 14.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58Urgent me... Urgent message begins.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01Maroon-coloured van, LKL238

0:31:01 > 0:31:05containing bullion value £1,000,000.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08Believed stolen in the vicinity of Queen Victoria Street.

0:31:13 > 0:31:17Hello, all cars from M2GW. Message number 48 begins.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20Maroon-coloured van, LKL638,

0:31:20 > 0:31:23containing bullion, value £1,000,000.

0:31:23 > 0:31:26Stolen from the vicinity of Queen Victoria Street.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Gawd, what a weight. - The others will be here soon.

0:31:51 > 0:31:52TYRES SCREECH

0:31:59 > 0:32:04Oi! Shorty! They've got Mr Pendlebury.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06- Who has?- The cops, of course.

0:32:06 > 0:32:10- I saw a crowd. There's two cops holding him.- Will he grass?

0:32:10 > 0:32:14Will he squeal? Will he split?

0:32:14 > 0:32:17- No.- Then it don't matter. We can deliver the stuff as arranged.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19Right. We don't need him. Come on.

0:32:31 > 0:32:35Sgt Wilson, you search the east end of the street.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38Sgt Cripps, you take the west end.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Rose, you'd better come with me, I think

0:32:40 > 0:32:43we'll have a look at those warehouses.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46That's all right. Leave the rest.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48- Blimey, guvnor, why?!- My alibi.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52- There's 75,000 quid in there. - I said leave it.

0:32:55 > 0:32:57A ruddy waste!

0:32:57 > 0:33:00There's many a starving bloke be glad of that lot.

0:33:00 > 0:33:04- Come on, now. Fix me up. - No... Behind you.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09- Left-hand pocket.- Stand still.

0:33:09 > 0:33:10SNAP

0:33:10 > 0:33:12What's that?

0:33:20 > 0:33:22You turn. It's easier.

0:33:24 > 0:33:25All right... OK.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36Hey! Look!

0:33:39 > 0:33:40Hey...

0:33:42 > 0:33:44Come on... Scram!

0:33:44 > 0:33:46Wait, wait! Mess me up.

0:33:46 > 0:33:52Mr Fisher... Mr Wood... Mess me up! It's essential!

0:33:54 > 0:34:00Hey...? Wait! Wait! You can't leave me like this.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05Wait! Wait!

0:35:03 > 0:35:04Help!

0:35:10 > 0:35:11Help!

0:35:19 > 0:35:21Can you see from down there?

0:35:25 > 0:35:26Help!

0:35:28 > 0:35:30Inspector Talbot! Sir!

0:35:30 > 0:35:31MUFFLED GROANS

0:35:31 > 0:35:33Fight going on over there!

0:35:51 > 0:35:54It was purely an oversight, officer. I had something on my mind.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56Three pictures in a week stolen!

0:35:56 > 0:35:59You can't accuse him of taking those others too.

0:35:59 > 0:36:01I should think not! I'm no thief.

0:36:01 > 0:36:04My character's an open book.

0:36:25 > 0:36:27Well?

0:36:31 > 0:36:36Well, you might as well know I was lying. I AM a thief.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39It was madness to attempt it.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41We weren't cut out for crime, either of us.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44- We?- My partner and I.

0:36:44 > 0:36:49- Partner...? Working with a fence... - Shhh. Carry on.

0:36:49 > 0:36:50I make no excuses.

0:36:50 > 0:36:55All my life I've wanted to surround myself with beautiful things.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57Suddenly faced with this golden opportunity...

0:36:57 > 0:37:01'Ere, you call my picture rare and beautiful?

0:37:02 > 0:37:05Since you will keep on interrupting me,

0:37:05 > 0:37:08you ought to know it's a charming example of an early Rochet,

0:37:08 > 0:37:11while he was influenced by Corot.

0:37:11 > 0:37:16- How much is it worth?- Ten pounds, to those who can afford it.

0:37:16 > 0:37:21Blimey...! I've got it marked up for five bob.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23- What about this charge?- Let him go.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26I've got to get back before they sell that picture.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28Your lucky day, it seems.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31All right, case dismissed.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33Off you go.

0:37:37 > 0:37:41Yes... About five minutes ago. Yes, sir. We've got him all right.

0:37:41 > 0:37:46He's giving us a statement. Yes, he's told us a lot already.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Go on. Hop it.

0:37:59 > 0:38:03Yes. You can depend on that, sir.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06We'll get all we can out of him.

0:38:06 > 0:38:10I see... Yes, he stood it pretty well.

0:38:10 > 0:38:15We'll look after him. We're fixing him up with dry clothes now.

0:38:15 > 0:38:20I agree, sir. We're up against some very tough customers.

0:38:27 > 0:38:28'Ere, what are you doing?

0:38:28 > 0:38:32- They'll have to put a new floor in. - He'll be able to afford it.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34- Save your breath, get on with the job.- You make me sick.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42- What's happening? - Here, I thought you was pinched.

0:38:42 > 0:38:43No, it's Holland they've got.

0:38:43 > 0:38:48- Holland?- He's in the police station, under arrest.- You sure of that?

0:38:48 > 0:38:50Of course I'm sure!

0:38:50 > 0:38:52He was dripping wet, there were two policemen holding him.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54They must have seen everything. We gotta blow!

0:38:54 > 0:38:57Wait a minute! Can they connect you with him?

0:38:57 > 0:39:00- I don't know. We live in the same house but...- What?

0:39:00 > 0:39:04The map showing the warehouse! Holland took it home with him.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Now we ARE done for.- No, we're not. You finish the job.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09- Come on.- Where to?

0:39:09 > 0:39:12Your place...if they ain't searched his room yet.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28Too late. Helmet's in the hall.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31- You go in. Might be someone I know. - But they're there already.

0:39:31 > 0:39:36They maybe haven't found it yet. Go on. Get weaving.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42You must have some suspicion.

0:39:42 > 0:39:46Who works the heist rackets in this territory?

0:39:46 > 0:39:48- Pardon, lady? - I can't be much plainer.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51Which hoodlums around here specialise in toby jobs?

0:40:08 > 0:40:11- Holland!- Pendlebury!

0:40:43 > 0:40:47Determination, pluck and fortitude worthy of the highest praise.

0:40:47 > 0:40:50Come along now. We mustn't keep them waiting.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:44 > 0:41:46Star, News or Standard!

0:42:14 > 0:42:16Now!

0:42:24 > 0:42:27- Pretty, isn't it, eh? - I could watch it all night.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30It's thruppence an ounce up again today.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33"Gold is the sovereign of all sovereigns." Proverb.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38Holland... Holland...

0:42:41 > 0:42:43These crates are filled with the lead towers.

0:42:43 > 0:42:45Mustn't be touched.

0:42:47 > 0:42:50This "R" stands for reserve stock.

0:42:50 > 0:42:53These crates will remain in our Paris warehouse.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56I've sent instructions to the lady there - she's never to

0:42:56 > 0:42:59use anything from a crate marked "R".

0:42:59 > 0:43:01- So these are the ones I work on. - Exactly.

0:43:01 > 0:43:06- Get rid of the contents and refill with...- How long will it take?

0:43:06 > 0:43:09- Oh, about two weeks here... - A week in Paris to find our market,

0:43:09 > 0:43:11then three months back here,

0:43:11 > 0:43:14that will take us to the end of the year.

0:43:14 > 0:43:16An excellent time for me to retire.

0:43:16 > 0:43:20- You're not going back to the bank?! - Certainly, I am.

0:43:20 > 0:43:24It would look suspicious if I gave up my job immediately.

0:43:24 > 0:43:27"Patience is a virtue..." Shakespeare.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39Our first-born.

0:43:45 > 0:43:49Oh, yes, that's the man you describe in your statement

0:43:49 > 0:43:51as having a snake tattooed on his wrist.

0:43:51 > 0:43:56Yes, and I should mention that one had a distinct foreign accent.

0:43:56 > 0:43:58Come on, China. Get weaving!

0:44:09 > 0:44:13RADIO ANNOUNCER: 'Helping Scotland Yard in the hunt for the criminals

0:45:40 > 0:45:42In view of rising public anxiety,

0:45:42 > 0:45:47can he assure the House that this gold is not lost to the nation?

0:45:47 > 0:45:50Yes, sir, I think I may give that assurance.

0:46:20 > 0:46:22Biggest job of its kind since One-Eyed Dobson

0:46:22 > 0:46:25got away with the GIs' pay packets. Got away with 2 million.

0:46:25 > 0:46:27That was before devaluation.

0:46:27 > 0:46:29This is one million POUNDS.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38Is that you, Lackery?

0:46:45 > 0:46:48- What's the matter?- Trouble.

0:46:48 > 0:46:49Nothing serious, I hope.

0:46:49 > 0:46:53- I can't go.- Why not? - The missus won't let me.

0:46:56 > 0:46:59Can't you say it's in connection with an important business deal?

0:47:03 > 0:47:07- Paris is out!- You know we can't pay you till we get to Paris.

0:47:07 > 0:47:10I'll settle for six of these. I know a safe fence.

0:47:10 > 0:47:14- Out of the question!- Are you mad? - Leaving vital evidence here?!

0:47:14 > 0:47:16If anything went wrong, the police would be onto us in no time.

0:47:16 > 0:47:19No, you can't ask a thing like that, mate.

0:47:21 > 0:47:25- I'm sorry, guv. I wasn't thinking. I'm a little upset.- Here!

0:47:25 > 0:47:28Tell you what. I didn't like to say,

0:47:28 > 0:47:32- but I don't really fancy going to Paris meself.- Why?

0:47:32 > 0:47:35A friend of mine's got a couple of tickets for the test match.

0:47:35 > 0:47:37I'd like to see that.

0:47:37 > 0:47:40You're both coming back here once you've flogged the stuff, ain't ya?

0:47:40 > 0:47:43OK. Just smuggle our money over inside your socks.

0:47:43 > 0:47:48- I'll lend you a false bottom bag. - You mean you both trust us?

0:47:48 > 0:47:50Oh, come off it, guv. You're as straight a pair of gentlemen

0:47:50 > 0:47:54- as I ever worked for. - Hear, hear.

0:47:54 > 0:47:57- Well, that seems an excellent solution.- Thank you, boys.

0:51:33 > 0:51:36How did that get here?

0:51:36 > 0:51:40I told you never to use a crate marked "R".

0:51:40 > 0:51:42But that is not an "aah".

0:51:42 > 0:51:43It is an "air".

0:51:43 > 0:51:46- It's an R in English!- How many have you sold from that case?

0:51:46 > 0:51:49Six - to the little English girls.

0:51:49 > 0:51:52Don't sell any more! I'll be back.

0:52:30 > 0:52:32We mustn't let them get back to England. We'll be traced.

0:54:31 > 0:54:35- with them.- Disappear? With the police looking for us? To Calais.

0:54:35 > 0:54:36- The warehouse.- Calais!

0:58:33 > 0:58:40- Paris?- He's on holiday.- Have you his address?- No, I'm sorry.

0:58:40 > 0:58:42He didn't know where he'd be staying.

0:58:42 > 0:58:44- I see. All right. Thank you.- Pleased to be of help.

0:58:51 > 0:58:55Why, Mr Holland! What IS the meaning of this?

0:58:55 > 0:58:59Transport strike in Paris. Made things too difficult.

0:58:59 > 0:59:00And Mr Pendlebury?

0:59:00 > 0:59:02He's flying back tomorrow. He had some business to see to.

0:59:02 > 0:59:05- You have dined, I hope?- Afraid not.

0:59:07 > 0:59:08Good evening.

0:59:10 > 0:59:14- Good evening, Inspector. - Bad luck about your holiday.- Yes.

0:59:14 > 0:59:17You should have told us you were going abroad, you know.

0:59:17 > 0:59:18You're our most important witness.

0:59:18 > 0:59:20I'm so sorry. Anything I can do?

0:59:20 > 0:59:22Four vans were seen near the warehouse

0:59:22 > 0:59:23at the time of the robbery.

0:59:23 > 0:59:27It's just possible you may have glimpsed one.

0:59:27 > 0:59:31A blue van with "Loveday and Bone" on the side?

0:59:31 > 0:59:33It all happened so quickly. It never gave me a chance.

0:59:33 > 0:59:35Something might register.

0:59:35 > 0:59:38- A white van, the Blackheath Spotless Laundry?- No, sorry.

0:59:38 > 0:59:41Another blue one. The Springsong Mattress Company?

0:59:41 > 0:59:42No, as I told you...

0:59:42 > 0:59:47Or a green van, "Gewgaws Limited"? Does that ring a bell?

0:59:49 > 0:59:51It was definitely none of them.

0:59:51 > 0:59:53You can't be sure if you didn't see it, can you?

0:59:53 > 0:59:55- Silly of me.- All right, Mr Holland.

0:59:55 > 0:59:59- You'll be available if we want you again? Goodnight.- Goodnight.

1:00:16 > 1:00:19John, how lovely to see you.

1:00:23 > 1:00:26Dutch! Nice of you to come and meet me.

1:00:26 > 1:00:29- I took the crates to the warehouse and...- You're looking well.

1:00:29 > 1:00:30(Say nothing. Just smile.)

1:00:30 > 1:00:32- What?- Nothing like a change, I say.

1:00:32 > 1:00:36- (Smile now. The police may be watching.)- The police?

1:00:36 > 1:00:39They suspect your van was involved.

1:00:39 > 1:00:41Ooh, I told you it was madness to come back!

1:00:41 > 1:00:43Good thing we did. This makes it

1:00:43 > 1:00:45all the more important we get hold of those towers.

1:00:45 > 1:00:47I was a fool to let you persuade me.

1:00:47 > 1:00:49You're acting like a fool now. Suspicions aren't evidence,

1:00:49 > 1:00:51and once we get those out of their reach...

1:00:51 > 1:00:54We've got to get ourselves out of their reach!

1:00:54 > 1:00:58- I'm going after those towers. - I'm going back to Paris.- Very well.

1:00:58 > 1:01:01But remember, if I fail, you're for it too.

1:01:07 > 1:01:09Did you trace those girls?

1:01:09 > 1:01:13Yes. St Christopher's School, Hendon. Come on.

1:01:13 > 1:01:15# Harrow may be more clever

1:01:15 > 1:01:18# Rugby may make more row

1:01:18 > 1:01:21# But we will row, row for ever,

1:01:24 > 1:01:28# And nothing in life shall sever

1:01:40 > 1:01:44# Will tempt us from office stools

1:01:54 > 1:01:56that some of you bought in Paris.

1:01:56 > 1:02:02It appears that you were sold by mistake a new experimental type,

1:02:02 > 1:02:04which they are anxious to have back.

1:02:04 > 1:02:07They will exchange them for others equally good. Also -

1:02:07 > 1:02:09and I consider this most generous -

1:02:09 > 1:02:14they will give ten shillings to each girl who helps them.

1:02:14 > 1:02:16EXCITED MURMURS

1:02:30 > 1:02:35There we are. One for you. And there's yours.

1:02:35 > 1:02:37Thank you. Very good.

1:02:37 > 1:02:39One, two, three, four, five...

1:02:39 > 1:02:43Only five. Who bought the sixth one?

1:02:45 > 1:02:47Who bought the sixth?

1:02:48 > 1:02:50June Edwards bought one.

1:02:50 > 1:02:54You have one too, do you, dear? Where is it, June? In here?

1:02:54 > 1:02:56Ah, here it is. June, dear,

1:02:56 > 1:02:59wouldn't you like to have ten shillings

1:02:59 > 1:03:01and another one just as nice?

1:03:01 > 1:03:04Come, think of the sweets you could buy with this.

1:03:04 > 1:03:08There we are. Just as pretty, eh?

1:03:08 > 1:03:11June, look at them together and you'll see.

1:03:13 > 1:03:15There's no difference, is there?

1:03:15 > 1:03:18Tell us, what's the difference?

1:03:18 > 1:03:20That one's mine.

1:03:22 > 1:03:25Well, I'm sorry. I can't force the child. Does it really matter?

1:03:25 > 1:03:29- Indeed! Were it to fall into the hands of...- A business rival.

1:03:29 > 1:03:31- Yes.- But that won't happen.

1:03:31 > 1:03:34Well, we've kept you too long as it is. Thank you very much.

1:03:34 > 1:03:36But, but...

1:03:45 > 1:03:46It's interesting.

1:03:46 > 1:03:51I bought a pyramid in Cairo during the war. Was that made here?

1:03:51 > 1:03:54- Expect so. We send stuff all over. - Just finished, sir.

1:03:54 > 1:03:56You don't keep a record of where the van goes?

1:03:56 > 1:03:59No. Anyone takes the bloomin' thing when they feel like it.

1:03:59 > 1:04:01Away for a week just recently, it was.

1:04:01 > 1:04:04You've no recollection of that particular afternoon?

1:04:04 > 1:04:08Well, I've an idea it was the boss, Mr Pendlebury.

1:04:08 > 1:04:13- Mr Pendlebury.- I'm not sure. I can't ask him. He's away - in Paris.

1:04:13 > 1:04:16In Paris? Oh, well. Thanks. All right.

1:04:22 > 1:04:27- But, Dutch! Robbing a child! - It'll simply be a swap.

1:04:27 > 1:04:30If only you had let me talk to that woman.

1:04:30 > 1:04:32She was getting suspicious as it was.
