0:01:53 > 0:01:56RACING COMMENTARY ON RADIO
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Who's won, mate? It's on now!
0:02:04 > 0:02:08I heard you needed drivers. For ballast.
0:02:08 > 0:02:15- Are you a ballast driver? - I'm any kind of a driver. What difference does it make?
0:02:24 > 0:02:31- Front block, first door, ask for Cartley.- Thanks a lot. - He must be hungry.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Thanks, Terry. Bung it down anywhere.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Lovely work, Jackie boy. Lucy loves you.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09You're not Terry. Sorry. See you later, Jackie.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14- I thought you were the boy mending my typewriter.- Where's Mr Cartley?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Is he expecting you? - I'm looking for a job.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20You'll be lucky!
0:03:20 > 0:03:26My name's Yateley. Joe Yateley. I met a character called Legubin.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32- You know Leggy. How is he?- They put a silver plate in his skull.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I thought there might be a job here.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38To get a silver plate in YOUR skull?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Leggy said there was good money.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Well...
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I'll see what I can do for you.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Yes?- I heard you needed ballast drivers.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- You met Legubin. Is that right?- Yeah.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Did he tell you how much he cost us in compensation?
0:04:13 > 0:04:18He couldn't handle the loads at the speeds we wanted.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- How long have you been driving? - 12 years.- Accidents?- No.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Are you sure?- I told you.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Licence.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42No endorsements, no convictions for speeding. Why not?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I guess I was never caught.
0:04:45 > 0:04:52- Name and address of your last employer.- I've been out of the country.- Where?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Around.
0:04:59 > 0:05:06- I want fast drivers, right round the clock.- What kind of roads? - Bad roads, wet or fine.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11- What about the speed limit?- If you're caught, you pay your own fine.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16- If you can't handle ten tons at that speed, say so.- What's the money?
0:05:16 > 0:05:23We work a bonus system here. You get seven shillings a load plus four shillings an hour.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- Over what distances?- 10 miles each way. 12 loads a day or you're fired.
0:05:28 > 0:05:34- Pretty rough pace.- We've got one man that does 18 runs a day.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37What about breakdowns?
0:05:37 > 0:05:42You maintain your own lorry. If you have a breakdown, it's your fault.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47There's a bonus each week for the best-looking truck.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- If you've got one left. - You don't like the idea?
0:05:51 > 0:05:59- I like the money.- An itchy palm doesn't make a good driver. It needs guts. You don't inspire me.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03You're looking for a sucker.
0:06:09 > 0:06:16Lucy, phone the shop. Tell Ed to bring round a spare truck. Usual test run.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19'Yes, Mr Cartley.'
0:06:19 > 0:06:22You'd better not be wasting my time.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Ed, the usual! Once over the run!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Roger.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Here, you'll want these.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Have you driven one of this kind before?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Have you ever driven one of these before?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Yeah. I've been out of circulation for a while.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Hop in, then.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54What have you been driving?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57This and that.
0:07:57 > 0:08:03The trucks are light on the trigger. You don't have to fight 'em the way you're doing.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Loosen up a bit.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Now, here's a corner.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Now, don't check. Let her run into it.
0:08:16 > 0:08:22- We're going too fast.- No, we're not. We're going dandy. Step on it.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Let her swing, let her go. You see?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43HORNS BLARE
0:08:50 > 0:08:55- The brakes don't work. Didn't you see?- Well, we stopped, didn't we?
0:08:55 > 0:09:00It'll need pulling up a bit. Back up. I'll guide you.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Back, straight up.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Left a bit.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Pull left.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Your face when you saw them cows!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I forgot about the brakes.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Whoa!
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Now, you see, we get the stuff from that pit there.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06They bring it round on this belt up to the ballast.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10This is the three-eighths, half-inch gravel.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15This is the quarter-inch gravel - the gravel we use.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Do you know how to work it?- No.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Now get up there and level it off.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30The cops like it that way.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38They've let you out today, Ed? Aye, doctor's orders.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42That'll keep your tail down. Come on.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51OK.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53From now on, it's the run.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I'm timing you. Give it the gun.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13Doesn't come round so friendly, now she's loaded, does she?
0:11:16 > 0:11:22You've got to keep that needle above 30. Every mile you get above that,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26you can reckon on another sixpence an hour.
0:11:26 > 0:11:32- Drop below it and you're out of a job. Do you understand me?- Yeah.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- Don't ease up. - Supposing we meet something?
0:11:41 > 0:11:46Supposing we don't? Look on the bright side.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55Keep straight on. Let the road look after itself.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Good for you.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26HORNS BLARE
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Red chasing Johnny.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49But you didn't have to stop.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Come on, get moving.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54We're losing time.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57We've got a long way to go yet.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00What's the matter?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Who says anything's the matter?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25TOOTS HORN
0:13:33 > 0:13:36You're improving.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Here we are.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46You've made it. Wasn't bad, was it?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17OK, tip it.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Nudge her forward a bit.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44How did I do?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46So-so.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51- Didn't get it, eh? - Come on, come on.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Whoa!
0:15:01 > 0:15:04What happens now?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Home.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- You drive.- Me? I can't.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17The police took away my licence.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Hey, come here!
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Lucy, come here.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Let's have another look at that licence.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49Yes, Mr Cartley? Truck 13. Make out a logbook.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Yes, Mr Cartley.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- When do I start?- Lucy!
0:15:55 > 0:16:01Start him tomorrow. Cards, particulars, next of kin. Look after him.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Yes, Mr Cartley. - Thanks.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Aren't you the lucky one?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10The fitter had me worried.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- Ed? You needn't have. I put in a good word for you.- Yeah?
0:16:14 > 0:16:19- What did you say? - I said you were a friend of mine.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Why should you do that?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Do you always know why YOU do things?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- "Yateley...Joseph." Same address?- No.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I'm in between addresses now.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43That's yours.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48You've got Leggy's old truck. Number 13. For luck. Got your cards?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51No, I...I've been away.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I lost them.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Does Cartley know that?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59No.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well, we won't tell him.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08He's got a suspicious mind. I'll get you some new ones.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Thanks.- Got anywhere to sleep?- No.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18- Ask at the gate for Mile West. All the boys stay there.- I will.
0:17:18 > 0:17:25- Oh, by the way, there's a Pull Inn across the street where they eat.- Yeah?
0:17:25 > 0:17:33- You might get to know a nice local girl and get invited for supper. You like home cooking?- If it's good.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37If I cook it, it's good. Bye, Joe.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Uh...
0:17:41 > 0:17:46I know this might sound funny, but everybody calls me Tom.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Bye, Lucy.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51So long, Tom.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33I'm in the kitchen!
0:18:33 > 0:18:37You couldn't pull your own shoelaces together! Hello.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42Who are you? Never mind. Come in and make yourself useful.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Go away. You're not strong enough. This needs a man's hands.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52Come on, young fella. Let's see how strong you are.
0:18:52 > 0:18:59- They told me I could get a room here.- First things first. Get hold of this and pull!- OK.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Tighter.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Come on, you won't hurt me!

0:19:19 > 0:19:21How long do you want the room for?
0:19:21 > 0:19:27- Quite a while. I've got a job over the road.- Good enough.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32Thank your mother for the groceries. > OK, Ma.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Come on. I'll show you upstairs.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41That's the kitchen. When I'm out, the door's locked.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45The front door's locked at midnight.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49If you're out after that, you stay out.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54That's my husband. Died in a fire 20 years ago.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01There's the bath.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04That's the other place.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07No scribbling.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12Meals you eat out. The Pull Inn over the way, most of the men go there.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17You can have this one.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30Three shillings a night, sixpence a bath.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Money in advance.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06OK.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48Ma's gonna hit the roof when she sees this.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53What have you got? I've been after this for a month!
0:21:53 > 0:21:57I'm first! No, you were first last time!
0:21:57 > 0:22:02Where are you going? I put your names to the bottom of the list!
0:22:02 > 0:22:07You fixed it, didn't you? Me? Come on, get out of there!
0:22:07 > 0:22:11What's going on? Stop that! Do you hear me?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Take a flying jump... What did you say?
0:22:15 > 0:22:22Not you, Ma. I was talking to these tearaways. Disturbing a gentleman in his bath!

0:22:27 > 0:22:33- What are those?- I got beautiful flowers for a beautiful lady. - Thank you, Gino.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Got 'em cheap, too!
0:22:36 > 0:22:41He's the only gentleman among you lot. I'll put them in some water.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Do that. Quick!
0:22:44 > 0:22:48SINGING AND SHOUTING Stop that noise up there!
0:22:48 > 0:22:51This place is a loony bin.

0:23:38 > 0:23:43- Who is it?- It's OK.- What are you doing here?- This is my room.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Mamma mia! You gave me a fright.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- You just arrived, huh?- Yeah.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01I come in, you lie there. You say nothing.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- You have a good laugh, huh?- No.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08You know, there is so much noise.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12You hear the noise. This room is empty.
0:24:12 > 0:24:18I use her for... like a church, you know? I should move these things.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21That's OK. Come in when you like.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- Are you sure?- Yeah, I'm sure.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Thank you.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33It's better in here for me.
0:24:33 > 0:24:39Some people do not understand. They make a joke. I don't mind, but...
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Thank you.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- You drive with us? - Yes, starting tomorrow.- What truck?
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Number 13. Legubin's.
0:24:51 > 0:24:5513... Not so good.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58You also have Legubin's room.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Yeah?
0:25:01 > 0:25:09Oh, no. The shell, she never fall in the same place twice. You've got a very good situation here.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- What are you called?- Tom.
0:25:11 > 0:25:18To all the boys, I am Gino, because I'm Italian. My real name is Emmanuel.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Leggy... Legubin, he was my special friend.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28You have friends here?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30No.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- No, thanks.- You have met Red?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35No, I haven't met anyone.
0:25:35 > 0:25:42He's the boss. The Pacesetter. He drives like the devil. He's got truck number one.
0:25:42 > 0:25:49- When you see him coming, keep to the side.- I passed him on the trial run. He was going like a rocket!
0:25:49 > 0:25:54That is the one. I'm glad that you have seen him - our Red.
0:25:54 > 0:26:02- He's a special friend of yours, too?- I hate the sight of him. Come over to eat.
0:26:02 > 0:26:09- At the Pull Inn over the road? - That's right.- The girl in the office told me.- That is Lucy.
0:26:09 > 0:26:15Funny girl. The boys like to make out she's... What do you call it? A hot number.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18You mean she's not?
0:26:18 > 0:26:23Lucy's like plenty people. Got to make a big impression
0:26:23 > 0:26:27because inside they are, um... they're lonely.
0:26:27 > 0:26:34That is the trouble with girls today. All the time they must fight for something.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36You don't like her, huh?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I love her. She is my girl.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Come over.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48OK, come on.
0:26:48 > 0:26:55Lucy, she don't know yet, but when I go back to Italy, she's going to come with me.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58We're going to have our own bambini.
0:26:58 > 0:27:06During the war I am prisoner. I like England. I think I stay for ever, but now I think different.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Bella Italia is all I want. That and Lucy.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14A small place of my own, the sunlight, the blue sky.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16The blue sky, huh!
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- Do you think she'll go with you? - I pray she will.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Come on. Get in there!
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Come on!
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Wait for it!
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Another game! I'll pay you, all right?
0:27:40 > 0:27:44That's one and six... one and nine you owe me.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- Grab a chair. I'll get some matches.- Hello.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Come to join us?- Yeah.- Name?- Tom. - Dusty. There's Tinker.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Stinker! Barber Joe. Beautiful bonce!
0:27:58 > 0:28:03Pop, meet Tom. Scotty. Tom, there's a seat over here.
0:28:03 > 0:28:09You can't do that to the guest of honour. He'll sit right next to me.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12You sit here, Tom.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15New one gets the head of the table.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20You blab and I'll break your neck. He's got to learn sometime.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24This is Jill. She gives you double portions. >
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Big enough to look after himself.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Maybe you're right.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34My name's Tub.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Where are you from, mate?
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- Around. - That's up north somewhere, eh?
0:28:42 > 0:28:47Can't you tell a Welshman when you hear one? Cardiff, ain't it, mate?
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- Blaenllechau.- Horrible disease!
0:28:50 > 0:28:53He's got hiccups. Give him some water!
0:28:59 > 0:29:03So you're gonna join the Hell Drivers?
0:29:03 > 0:29:07He's a crack driver. He's come to take Red's place.
0:29:07 > 0:29:14Have you got your coffin ordered? Decided to end it all? He's after the money. >
0:29:14 > 0:29:17He's saving for the blind.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Hey, Red! Red!
0:29:21 > 0:29:24The water's getting cold.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38There's no need to start anything, Red. I'll get him to move.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Red...
0:29:48 > 0:29:52You sit over here, Johnny. Out it comes, nice and warm.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Gino...
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Your cigar's gone out.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04My place.
0:30:04 > 0:30:11If you think you're good enough to sit in my place, you have to prove it.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Huh?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Yeah.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27He's as brave as the rest of you.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31Thought you were gonna say something, then.
0:30:31 > 0:30:38- Who's the Girl Guide? - He's the new driver.- What truck's he got?- Tom, what truck you got?
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- Legubin's truck.- Who asked YOU?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Nobody asked, but I tell you anyhow.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Ah, I get it.
0:30:50 > 0:30:56Him and you's pals, eh? Watch he doesn't get in my way out on the run.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Who gets it?
0:31:06 > 0:31:11- I done 18 runs. Who beats me? - Don't look at me. 13's my lot.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16Minimum 12. 15, me. You're still safe.
0:31:16 > 0:31:2114. 12. Lucky to get that. Pressure pump's up the spout.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25- 15.- A stinking 14!
0:31:25 > 0:31:30Pop, you passed me about a dozen times. How many runs did you do?
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Look at him. Blind, deaf and twice a granddad.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38Hey, Pop! How many runs did you do?
0:31:38 > 0:31:4017.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43You won't keep that much longer.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45It's gold, that case.
0:31:45 > 0:31:51Let the new boy have a look at it. Marvellous. Feel the weight of it.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- Solid gold. - Do more runs than Red, it's yours.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58The Pacesetter. Keeps us on the ball.
0:31:58 > 0:32:04- Solid 22-carat gold. It's worth 250 quid. - 250 quid!
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Think what you could do with that.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14Hey, boys! Red's overslept. It's anybody's case today!
0:32:14 > 0:32:17EXCITED SHOUTING
0:32:31 > 0:32:35ENGINE SPLUTTERS
0:33:47 > 0:33:50HORN BLARES
0:35:19 > 0:35:23TOOTS HORN
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Get back there!
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Get back, get back!
0:35:32 > 0:35:37- What's going on over there? - Pop's trying to beat Red's time.
0:35:38 > 0:35:44- Why's he giving way?- If he don't, he'll be off the road for two days!
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Hey, Red, hurry up! The sun's fading my paintwork!
0:37:10 > 0:37:13TOOTS HORN
0:38:20 > 0:38:23BLASTS HORN
0:39:29 > 0:39:36- Hey, Tom! Where have you been? I look for you.- I'm working on a sick truck. Got any sandwiches?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39I'll see what there is.
0:39:39 > 0:39:44Tom, two guys come looking for you. In a car. They go away.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- For me?- Yeah, at Ma West's.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51- Who were they? What did they look like?- I don't see them.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Ma West yell upstairs, but you are not there.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59I see them drive away in a big car from the window.
0:39:59 > 0:40:06- Doing anything tonight? - I'm taking Lucy to see the Italian picture at the Playhouse.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Why? Should I do something for you?
0:40:08 > 0:40:12- No, it's OK.- You tell me... - No, it's OK.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- Do you know Chic Keighley?- Hi.- Hi.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Do you know if anybody got the case today?
0:40:19 > 0:40:24- The case? Fat chance. - That's all I want to know.
0:40:24 > 0:40:29Tom, this is crazy. I see you try to beat Red today. Don't do it.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31You listen to me. Don't try it.
0:40:31 > 0:40:36So long as he uses the short cut, it's not possible.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39The short cut?
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Why don't we all use it?
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Because we are not pazzo like Red.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49You know the quarry. It is very dangerous to drive fast there.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54To drive slow is no longer a short cut. It's a long cut, huh?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- Have you tried it?- We all tried.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Leggy tried it. He was the last.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03We don't go there no more.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08I see. But Red only drives a truck, just like you and me.
0:41:08 > 0:41:15- Here you are, Tom.- Thanks. - Ham and cheese. We've got chicken if you'd like it.- This is fine.
0:41:15 > 0:41:22- No coffee?- No. Good night.- Good night, Tom.- Tom?- Yeah?- Don't try it. You listen to Gino.
0:41:27 > 0:41:33Jill, have you fallen for that guy? I never saw you smile so sweet since we met.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40Well, well! Where have you been? On a picnic?
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Yeah. We had champagne(!)
0:41:43 > 0:41:48Fancy! And I was going to invite you for supper.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06- Thanks. - Well, I've got to go back to work.
0:42:06 > 0:42:11At this time of night? You act as if you're running away from a wife.
0:42:11 > 0:42:18- I'm working on a truck. There isn't always a woman in it. - It's usually that or money.
0:42:18 > 0:42:23- Is it?- Of course, I may be wrong and I'm willing to learn.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27Tell me all about it. I love life stories.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31Gino's waiting for you in there, remember?
0:42:31 > 0:42:38- You think I'm flinging myself at you, don't you?- You're giving a pretty fair imitation.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40What else is wrong with me?
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- You wanna know?- Yeah.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- Hi, Muscles. Hi, Lucy.- Hi, boys.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Hey, Lucy.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Tom, what are you doing here?
0:42:53 > 0:43:00- We have to hurry or we'll miss the picture. You want to come with us?- No, I haven't finished.
0:43:00 > 0:43:06- Gino...- Huh?- I'm going to take that gold cigarette case from Red.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08You can help me.
0:43:08 > 0:43:15Tom, I told you. Don't do it. Red is pazzo. He don't let anyone take that case.
0:43:15 > 0:43:20- It's only... How you say? A carrot for us donkeys.- I'm a donkey.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22- Tom...- Gino!- Wait a minute.
0:43:22 > 0:43:30- How long have you been driving ballast?- You know.- Red's driven for 12 years. He knows all the tricks.
0:43:30 > 0:43:34- So you don't want to help me? - Tom...
0:43:37 > 0:43:39All right, I'm with you.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42What do you want me to do?
0:43:42 > 0:43:47I'll tell you tomorrow morning. Thanks, Gino. Enjoy the picture.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52It's like poison in the blood, this thing.
0:43:52 > 0:43:59- They all get it. I will try to see he don't get hurt. He's a nice boy. You like him?- He's all right.
0:43:59 > 0:44:03He is my friend. You must be nice to him.
0:44:03 > 0:44:08Carissima, you look so... you look so pretty tonight.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11Come, I drive. Move over.
0:44:11 > 0:44:18Gino, I don't feel like a film tonight, especially one of those foreign ones.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22Oh, no? It's too bad. This is the last night for it.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25I don't get much chance to...
0:44:25 > 0:44:28hear my own people talking.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32Johnny, come on, hurry up! Where are we going?
0:44:32 > 0:44:34I don't know.
0:44:36 > 0:44:40Let's just go somewhere and have a drink.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42All right. Whatever you say.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45Here, we go and...
0:44:45 > 0:44:47We talk, huh?
0:44:47 > 0:44:54You don't know yet, but I think I've got a surprise for you. About you and me.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57Tonight I tell you.
0:44:57 > 0:45:01Gino, if you really want to go and see the picture...
0:45:01 > 0:45:04You change your mind again?
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Let's go and see the picture.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10Whatever you say, carissima.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19Come on, Harry!
0:45:21 > 0:45:26What's your hurry? Anybody would think you're fond of work!
0:45:36 > 0:45:38He works hard, doesn't he(?)
0:45:45 > 0:45:48- Go ahead, boy.- Yeah.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27TOOTS HORN
0:48:20 > 0:48:24HORNS BLARE
0:49:14 > 0:49:21Look at that! He'll never get away with it. Red, you like your own medicine?
0:49:42 > 0:49:47Hey, Gino! Get out of my way!
0:49:59 > 0:50:01That's how it's gonna be, huh?
0:51:23 > 0:51:25Hey, Gino!
0:51:25 > 0:51:28- Get on!- What happened?
0:51:28 > 0:51:30It don't matter. Get on!
0:51:33 > 0:51:35Gino, are you all right?
0:51:35 > 0:51:37Uh-huh.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40What happened?
0:51:40 > 0:51:44Gino, what's the matter with your leg?
0:51:44 > 0:51:49Just a shake-up. It don't matter, I tell you. Get on!
0:51:52 > 0:51:55Have you got a tow chain?
0:51:55 > 0:51:57I've got one.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08Yah!
0:52:11 > 0:52:15Get going. You've got to beat him!
0:52:21 > 0:52:23Thanks, Fred. How much is that?
0:52:23 > 0:52:2617 shillings, Miss Lucy.
0:52:26 > 0:52:33- Tom, could you lend me a couple of bob until tomorrow? I'm short. - Oh, yes, sure.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36Thanks a lot.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38Thank you very much.
0:52:38 > 0:52:43I see on the progress report that you didn't break any records today.
0:52:43 > 0:52:48- Gino went off the road. I had to help him.- Is he OK?- I guess so.
0:52:48 > 0:52:53- Does he need anything?- No. He got shaken up. He wants to sleep it off.
0:52:53 > 0:53:00- That means he won't be taking me to the dance tonight. - Too bad. Very selfish of him!
0:53:00 > 0:53:02I didn't mean it like that.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06- What way DID you mean it? - You've got a nasty habit.
0:53:06 > 0:53:11- Which one?- I could like you if... - You're Gino's girl.
0:53:11 > 0:53:16- Why not ask ME that?- Gino's my pal. Don't put this on him. Not with me.
0:53:16 > 0:53:20Don't talk to me like that. Gino's my friend, too.
0:53:20 > 0:53:25The way you act, anyone would think you're the only girl in this town!
0:53:42 > 0:53:46Is that right? You done 17 runs today?
0:53:46 > 0:53:48- Yeah.- That's pretty close, eh, Red?
0:53:48 > 0:53:53What about it? Pop's done better than that driving solo!
0:53:53 > 0:54:01If you and Spaghetti try more of them tactics on me, I'll show you a thing or two you've never heard of!
0:54:01 > 0:54:08I teach them the hard way. Maybe afterwards you won't be in any condition to use them. Understand?
0:54:08 > 0:54:13- I think so.- Where is old Spaghetti, anyway?- He's in bed.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15Somebody sideswiped him today.
0:54:15 > 0:54:22- That's what you two was doing in that ploughed field!- If you saw us, why didn't you help?
0:54:22 > 0:54:25Our job's ballast, not breakdowns!
0:54:25 > 0:54:32The recovery people don't like it. If they heard what you did, you'd wake up wearing their footprints.
0:54:32 > 0:54:38- Is somebody gonna write to them about it? - Are you trying to be funny?
0:54:38 > 0:54:43Do you know? I don't like your attitude.
0:54:43 > 0:54:46You've got a chip on your shoulder.
0:54:46 > 0:54:49- You think so?- Yeah.
0:54:49 > 0:54:53If I was to knock it off, your head might go with it.
0:54:53 > 0:54:58Well, I'm the last man who'd want to walk around without a head.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04That's better!
0:55:04 > 0:55:07Get a hold of this, will you?
0:55:07 > 0:55:12I've got two jobs here. I'm the Pacesetter and the road foreman.
0:55:12 > 0:55:19I'll watch you from two directions. To beat you on the road and beat you down when you get out of line.
0:55:19 > 0:55:24I'm not looking for trouble. Unless I'm pushed.
0:55:26 > 0:55:30Even if you're pushed. Hey, Tub!
0:55:30 > 0:55:32Over here, Red!
0:55:36 > 0:55:40Are you going to the dance tonight, Tom?
0:55:40 > 0:55:42Yeah, I was just going to ask you.
0:55:42 > 0:55:50- We're going in Johnny's car after you've finished eating. Do you like my skirt?- Yeah. Sensational.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52< Jill!
0:56:03 > 0:56:06SLOW WALTZ PLAYS
0:56:27 > 0:56:30Excuse me.
0:56:31 > 0:56:36Well, Red, are your boys going to behave yourselves tonight?
0:56:36 > 0:56:39Why don't you ask them?
0:56:40 > 0:56:44My dance. Oh, but I can't...
0:56:44 > 0:56:47Shall we sit this one out? Yes, dear.
0:57:04 > 0:57:08Busy? I'm waiting for someone. You're not busy.
0:57:14 > 0:57:21Excuse me. Remember me last week? No. I'll remind you.
0:57:21 > 0:57:23You're not married, are you?
0:57:23 > 0:57:26No. Are you?
0:57:26 > 0:57:29Silly! I like you. You're really dry.
0:57:30 > 0:57:33MUSIC STOPS
0:57:37 > 0:57:40Hey, Dusty! Over here!
0:57:40 > 0:57:43- Dust, how did you make out?- OK.
0:57:43 > 0:57:45ALL TALK AND LAUGH
0:57:45 > 0:57:50What am I? An orphan? Here you are. Sit down.
0:57:54 > 0:57:57Hey, fellas, fellas!
0:57:57 > 0:58:00Look!
0:58:07 > 0:58:11It can't be. It's Lucy. Done up like a dog's dinner.
0:58:13 > 0:58:16Hello, boys!
0:58:16 > 0:58:20It's awfully hot in here! Mind if I join you?
0:58:20 > 0:58:26- We've been keeping this place specially for you. - No-one'll take you away from us!
0:58:26 > 0:58:31- You make the rest of the birds here look like hyenas!- Give her a seat.
0:58:31 > 0:58:36Call yourself a gentleman? Your Ladyship! Thanks, Tink.
0:58:36 > 0:58:42Now look what you've done! Thank you for picking me up(!)
0:58:42 > 0:58:47- We thought you'd come with Gino. > - Jill, do you want to dance?
0:58:47 > 0:58:52You kids go ahead. Don't mind me. Lucy, dance with me!
0:59:23 > 0:59:26Hey! Remember me?
0:59:33 > 0:59:35Having fun?
0:59:36 > 0:59:39Yeah, fine. And you?
0:59:39 > 0:59:44- So-so. There's a guy I want to dance with and he won't ask me.- Too bad.
0:59:44 > 0:59:49What are you trying to prove? That you're somebody's best friend?
0:59:49 > 0:59:55- Look...- Get it into your thick skull that I'm not anybody's girl and I'm not married!
1:00:00 > 1:00:03Gino's a sweet guy.
1:00:03 > 1:00:10He's in a strange country. I was just trying to be nice to him. Do I have to suffer for that?
1:00:10 > 1:00:17If you don't like it, that's your problem. I don't want to be the one that puts him out.
1:00:17 > 1:00:19Come on, let's dance.
1:00:19 > 1:00:22Come on.
1:00:30 > 1:00:34Let's dance. I'm waiting for Tom.
1:00:38 > 1:00:41On second thoughts, I think I will.
1:00:43 > 1:00:49What's happened to my boyfriend? I sent him for a bottle of Coke half an hour ago.
1:00:49 > 1:00:54Maybe he heard "bucket of Coke". You're very humorous!
1:00:54 > 1:00:59Tom, don't tell me you don't feel the same way as I do.
1:00:59 > 1:01:01What are you trying to do?
1:01:01 > 1:01:04I'm human, too, you know.
1:01:04 > 1:01:11It's not fair. If two people feel the same way about each other, what's wrong with admitting it?
1:01:11 > 1:01:16Would you like to see two men shooting it out over you?
1:01:16 > 1:01:19As long as you win.
1:01:20 > 1:01:23Oh, Tom, I don't know what it is.
1:01:23 > 1:01:26It's not going to work, Lucy.
1:01:26 > 1:01:28It's got to work.
1:01:28 > 1:01:33You're crazy. You don't know anything about me.
1:01:33 > 1:01:37I know. But I'd just love finding out.
1:01:40 > 1:01:45This is a nerve test. A test for steady nerves, steady hands.
1:01:45 > 1:01:49You'll never drive a truck if you can't hold these.
1:01:49 > 1:01:52You're not gonna burn me! Careful!
1:01:52 > 1:01:58This is where it's important. Hold still now. Are you ready? Yeah.
1:01:58 > 1:02:03# Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you... #
1:02:03 > 1:02:11- Where have you been?- I was told my old man wanted to see me in the pub opposite. I looked in all the pubs.
1:02:11 > 1:02:16- Must have been some other Bill.- You wanted to walk off with my girl!
1:02:16 > 1:02:21That's right, insult me! A man in my position taking care of your girl.
1:02:21 > 1:02:25I should charge you for my time. Piecework rates!
1:02:32 > 1:02:35- Excuse me.- Oh, sure.
1:02:39 > 1:02:42Oh, no, you don't. Not this time.
1:02:42 > 1:02:46- I said excuse me once. - Do you mind?- Bill!
1:02:46 > 1:02:52- Drop dead!- Let go. She's my girl and I was dancing with her.
1:02:52 > 1:02:55It's only a joke. Don't get rough.
1:02:55 > 1:03:03We let you truck drivers use our hall and all you do is muck up our evening. We're sick of you all!
1:03:03 > 1:03:08- Red!- Yeah?- This bloke says him and his mates are sick of the lot of us.
1:03:08 > 1:03:13Ask him what he's gonna do about it. Hey, Tub, Scotty, Johnny!
1:03:13 > 1:03:18Now, then, Red. No trouble. No trouble, please.
1:03:33 > 1:03:36Call the police immediately.
1:03:36 > 1:03:39Red! Red!
1:03:39 > 1:03:41Hit him with your right!
1:03:41 > 1:03:46- Red! Red! The cops! - You get stuck in! Come on!
1:03:49 > 1:03:53Hey, come back, yellow belly! Come back, you!
1:03:53 > 1:03:57- Tom! Tom! - Hey, come back, yellow belly!
1:04:06 > 1:04:11Hey, we're coming up! Better say your prayers!
1:04:18 > 1:04:21Come out, yellow belly!
1:04:28 > 1:04:34MA WEST: Stop that! Stop that this instant, do you hear?
1:04:34 > 1:04:36Red, come away from that door!
1:04:36 > 1:04:39It's between us and yellow belly.
1:04:39 > 1:04:43I don't care. Get back to your rooms this minute!
1:04:44 > 1:04:49All right, yellow belly, we'll get you tomorrow.
1:05:22 > 1:05:26How many of those sweets can you get for a penny?
1:05:26 > 1:05:31Three... Here, you'll like these.
1:05:31 > 1:05:35Buttered brazils! Oh, boy!
1:05:35 > 1:05:42You've got more than half. No, I haven't. I'll get you for this!
1:05:44 > 1:05:47I bought a packet of fags.
1:05:48 > 1:05:50On credit.
1:05:50 > 1:05:53Tom!
1:05:54 > 1:05:56Tom!
1:05:56 > 1:06:01- Jimmy, are you all right? - I'm all right. How are you?
1:06:01 > 1:06:03Fine.
1:06:03 > 1:06:09Well, you look marvellous. We heard you were out. Where have you been?
1:06:09 > 1:06:11Don't you read my letters?
1:06:11 > 1:06:14Letters? What letters?
1:06:14 > 1:06:19How's Mum? I thought I'd try to get you while she was in church.
1:06:19 > 1:06:23Tom, Mum wouldn't keep your letters from me.
1:06:26 > 1:06:29Jimmy, the shop looks good.
1:06:29 > 1:06:31How's business?
1:06:31 > 1:06:36You know this neighbourhood. We've been paying our way.
1:06:36 > 1:06:39Any of the boys come round, Jimmy?
1:06:39 > 1:06:42Oh, yeah. For cigarettes, you know.
1:06:43 > 1:06:45How are the legs?
1:06:45 > 1:06:50Just the same, Tom... Excuse me, Tom.
1:06:52 > 1:06:56Morning, Mrs Lipton. What'll it be?
1:06:56 > 1:07:01Morning, Jimmy. A pound of sausages. Myrtle's bringing a man to dinner.
1:07:01 > 1:07:07Anything else? No, thank you. Three shillings, Mrs Lipton.
1:07:07 > 1:07:14Oh, dear, up again! Maybe Myrtle will be off our hands before long. Remember me to your mother.
1:07:14 > 1:07:17Bye, Mrs Lipton. Thank you.
1:07:33 > 1:07:36How was it...inside, Tom?
1:07:36 > 1:07:39Bad, Jimmy.
1:07:39 > 1:07:43I can't ever let that happen to me again.
1:07:43 > 1:07:45I can't be tied down.
1:07:45 > 1:07:48I know what you mean.
1:07:48 > 1:07:52It killed me, Jimmy, knowing what I did to you.
1:07:52 > 1:07:55It was an accident. I never blamed you.
1:07:57 > 1:08:01It's more than just making it up to you, Jimmy.
1:08:01 > 1:08:05I've got to make the grade for once. The right way.
1:08:05 > 1:08:09- Do you know what I mean? - Yeah, I know, Tom.
1:08:09 > 1:08:12- I took a job.- Doing what?- Driving.
1:08:12 > 1:08:15Driving again!
1:08:15 > 1:08:20Not what you think. Jimmy, it's tough when you come out.
1:08:20 > 1:08:24Only lousy jobs for no money. Nobody wants you.
1:08:24 > 1:08:29- I took this one.- If you're behind the wheel, you can go anywhere.
1:08:29 > 1:08:31I'm driving ballast, Jimmy.
1:08:31 > 1:08:34It's tough, but...
1:08:34 > 1:08:37Well, it's good money.
1:08:37 > 1:08:42There's even a solid gold bonus waiting for me at the end of it.
1:08:42 > 1:08:44Jimmy...
1:08:45 > 1:08:48Look, I want you to have this.
1:08:48 > 1:08:53- It's not much. - No, I can't take it. No, please...
1:08:57 > 1:08:59Hello, Mum.
1:08:59 > 1:09:02What's that?
1:09:02 > 1:09:07- Ma, take it easy. Tom's just trying to help us.- Take it back.
1:09:07 > 1:09:11Why should I? It's Jimmy's money. I gave it to him.
1:09:11 > 1:09:16I make the money that comes into this house and I make it honest.
1:09:16 > 1:09:21- Maybe it's not much, but what there is is clean.- This is clean, too.
1:09:21 > 1:09:26- Mum, we've got to talk.- Nothing you ever touched was clean.
1:09:26 > 1:09:32- Tom's trying to help us. He's got an honest job.- I don't believe it.- Let him finish!
1:09:32 > 1:09:37- Mum, you've got to forget the past. - It's not past.
1:09:37 > 1:09:43It's here. I live with it. For you, it was just a year in jail.
1:09:43 > 1:09:50For Jim and me, it's a life sentence. Him stuck in this shop all day, never going out!
1:09:50 > 1:09:53- I know all that!- Tom! Tom...
1:09:57 > 1:10:01Look, Mum, I'm only trying to put things right.
1:10:01 > 1:10:05- How can I make you see? - I'm not listening.
1:10:05 > 1:10:07Tom!
1:10:07 > 1:10:10Mum...
1:10:10 > 1:10:13Please give him a chance.
1:10:13 > 1:10:15You and him.
1:10:15 > 1:10:18Always the same.
1:10:18 > 1:10:21He led, you followed.
1:10:23 > 1:10:25I wish you were still inside.
1:10:25 > 1:10:28Oh, Mum, no!
1:10:29 > 1:10:32All right, Mum.
1:10:32 > 1:10:34You don't have to draw a picture.
1:10:36 > 1:10:39Don't worry, kid.
1:10:39 > 1:10:42Maybe it'll work out.
1:11:21 > 1:11:24Tom!
1:11:24 > 1:11:28- Tom!- What are you waiting for, yellow belly?
1:12:08 > 1:12:11All right, boys. On the road.
1:13:24 > 1:13:27BLOWS RASPBERRY
1:15:56 > 1:15:5918 today. Who gets it?
1:15:59 > 1:16:02Not me. Not me.
1:16:02 > 1:16:04Here, Dust, pass it over.
1:16:57 > 1:17:01Fill this out, Tink. Right oh, Luce.
1:17:03 > 1:17:06G Redman - 18.
1:17:06 > 1:17:08Fill this out, Red, please.
1:17:08 > 1:17:11J Yateley - 18.
1:17:11 > 1:17:16< He went over the quarry today. I saw him.
1:17:16 > 1:17:21Another brave one, eh? > Hello, Gino.
1:17:22 > 1:17:25< G Rossi - 14.
1:17:32 > 1:17:34See you tonight.
1:17:43 > 1:17:48Miracolo! Magnifico! How did you do this thing, Tom? It is a miracle.
1:17:48 > 1:17:52It's a miracle somebody didn't get killed.
1:17:52 > 1:17:59Today you proved you're a great driver. I know you can beat Red, but everybody is against you.
1:17:59 > 1:18:04- If you had a clear road... - Yeah, if I had a clear road!
1:18:04 > 1:18:06Tom, the money.
1:18:06 > 1:18:09Tomorrow. I see you get it.
1:18:09 > 1:18:11How?
1:18:11 > 1:18:14We will change plates.
1:18:14 > 1:18:17You take my number plate - number 3.
1:18:17 > 1:18:20I put your number 13 on my truck.
1:18:20 > 1:18:25For me the boys make the trouble. For you there is a clear road.
1:18:25 > 1:18:29You like Gino's idea? You be number 3.
1:18:29 > 1:18:31- Yeah, but Gino...- No buts.
1:18:31 > 1:18:36After, finish here. You go north, look for a good job. I go south.
1:18:36 > 1:18:40You take the gold case, I take Lucy. Va bene?
1:18:40 > 1:18:43Bene.
1:18:47 > 1:18:49Something stinks around here.
1:18:49 > 1:18:54- Maybe you should change your socks. - Quick as a whip!
1:18:54 > 1:18:59- As a wop, you mean!- Watch your tongue.- We're getting tough!
1:18:59 > 1:19:01Yeah, tough as macaroni! >
1:19:06 > 1:19:08Gino, something's wrong here.
1:19:08 > 1:19:11Huh?
1:19:11 > 1:19:13£24 deduction?
1:19:13 > 1:19:16What advance did you take?
1:19:16 > 1:19:18Four.
1:19:18 > 1:19:23Five tax... No, this is wrong. We'll see about it.
1:19:23 > 1:19:27Buzz off! He's got all he's gonna get.
1:19:27 > 1:19:31- No, there's been a mistake. - There's no mistake.
1:19:31 > 1:19:34What do you know about it?
1:19:34 > 1:19:39- I'm talking to you. - I'm not talking to the yellow belly.
1:19:39 > 1:19:44- If he wants to find out why his pay was stopped, ask Ed.- Ed?
1:19:44 > 1:19:48- It was his stuff he wrecked. - Who put this on Tom?
1:19:48 > 1:19:51You mean on yellow belly? Me.
1:19:51 > 1:19:53I'm the road foreman.
1:19:53 > 1:19:56Yeah.
1:19:56 > 1:19:58And that's not all you are.
1:20:00 > 1:20:02What else am I?
1:20:02 > 1:20:05You're scum.
1:20:31 > 1:20:34SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
1:20:37 > 1:20:39Come on, then, Red!
1:20:41 > 1:20:43You're gonna murder him.
1:20:43 > 1:20:46Go on, take him.
1:20:48 > 1:20:51Go on, man, take him!
1:20:57 > 1:21:00Come on, Red, take him!
1:21:00 > 1:21:03ALL SHOUT
1:21:11 > 1:21:13Hit him!
1:21:14 > 1:21:17Come on, Red!
1:21:17 > 1:21:20Get into him!
1:21:20 > 1:21:25Come on, Red, sort him out! Come on, Red!
1:21:43 > 1:21:47Go on, Red! Go on! Give him it, Red!
1:21:51 > 1:21:53Stop! The assistant manager!
1:21:56 > 1:21:58What the devil's going on here?
1:21:58 > 1:22:03It's nothing, sir. A test of strength. A bet. Nothing.
1:22:03 > 1:22:08Nothing? Fighting like animals? Gibson, why didn't you stop them?
1:22:08 > 1:22:11Well, you see...
1:22:11 > 1:22:15You'll pay for this damage. Both of you.
1:22:15 > 1:22:21You've got your pay, get out. All of you. Once more and it'll be for good!
1:22:22 > 1:22:28As for you, you're a foreman. You're supposed to keep discipline.
1:22:28 > 1:22:32I may be a foreman, but I'm not a prison warden.
1:22:32 > 1:22:40You think I don't know you've just done a spell? How can I keep discipline if we hire convicts?
1:22:40 > 1:22:42I'll let you know!
1:22:42 > 1:22:45What are you gonna do about it?
1:22:45 > 1:22:50Nothing to do with us. He already paid for what he done. He told me.
1:22:50 > 1:22:55I'll have to check with Mr Cartley in the morning.
1:22:57 > 1:23:00Come on, Red.
1:23:00 > 1:23:04He can look after himself. Come on, I'm hungry.
1:23:08 > 1:23:11You better come and lie down, huh?
1:23:11 > 1:23:16- I've got to work.- This looks bad. You better come and get cleaned up.
1:23:17 > 1:23:20Are you all right, Red?
1:23:22 > 1:23:25He kneed me. You saw what happened.
1:23:25 > 1:23:27Otherwise I'd have killed him.
1:23:39 > 1:23:41Hi.
1:23:42 > 1:23:45Oh, well...
1:23:45 > 1:23:48Good night.
1:23:48 > 1:23:50Mailbags!
1:24:20 > 1:24:23FOOTSTEPS >
1:24:24 > 1:24:26Hello.
1:24:26 > 1:24:30What do you want?
1:24:32 > 1:24:37I hear you're eating in the village by yourself these days. How's that?
1:24:37 > 1:24:40I like it that way.
1:24:42 > 1:24:46I heard what they're saying. Is it true?
1:24:46 > 1:24:49Yeah.
1:24:49 > 1:24:51It's true.
1:24:51 > 1:24:59I wasn't framed, nobody talked me into anything and the judge didn't give me a raw deal. Happy?
1:24:59 > 1:25:03You still have an invitation to eat at my place.
1:25:09 > 1:25:12Where's Gino?
1:25:12 > 1:25:15We're through.
1:25:15 > 1:25:17What have you done to him?
1:25:17 > 1:25:22I told him the truth, that I liked him, but I'm not in love with him.
1:25:22 > 1:25:26- You have no right to do that! - Whose right is it?
1:26:13 > 1:26:16CAR APPROACHING >
1:26:46 > 1:26:49FRONT DOOR OPENS
1:27:13 > 1:27:15Gino?
1:27:21 > 1:27:24KNOCK ON DOOR
1:27:24 > 1:27:26Gino, are you awake?
1:27:26 > 1:27:29Gino!
1:27:29 > 1:27:31Gino, I want to talk to you.
1:28:04 > 1:28:06London, one-way.
1:28:06 > 1:28:12- The early's gone, mate. 9:35 is the next.- All right, let's have it.
1:28:12 > 1:28:16Don't you characters ever say "please"? Here.
1:28:26 > 1:28:29PHONE RINGS
1:28:29 > 1:28:31Excuse me.
1:28:36 > 1:28:39- Hello?- 'Hello, Jimmy.'- Tom!
1:28:39 > 1:28:45If Topper or Mac or any of the boys come round, tell them to contact Sammy.
1:28:45 > 1:28:49- Sammy? Are you sure? - 'I know what I'm doing.'
1:28:49 > 1:28:52I'll be at Harry's place at three o'clock.
1:28:55 > 1:28:58OK, Tom. Whatever you say.
1:28:58 > 1:29:00OK, Jimmy boy.
1:29:10 > 1:29:15Tom, thank God! I've been searching everywhere. Ma West said...
1:29:15 > 1:29:23- I'm leaving.- It's Gino.- Leave me alone.- Gino's truck caught fire and he's very badly burned.
1:29:23 > 1:29:25Come to the hospital right away!
1:29:32 > 1:29:35What are they doing in there?
1:29:35 > 1:29:39Why don't they ever tell you something?
1:29:41 > 1:29:44Tom, maybe...
1:29:44 > 1:29:46Maybe I ought to go.
1:29:48 > 1:29:51Maybe seeing me will just upset him.
1:29:51 > 1:29:58- No, Lucy. You've got to go in and tell him what I told you to tell him.- Yes, all right.
1:29:58 > 1:30:00I'll do whatever you want me to do.
1:30:01 > 1:30:04But you've got to stop blaming us.
1:30:04 > 1:30:07At least yourself.
1:30:07 > 1:30:12- What happened...- I know what happened.- You don't know everything.
1:30:12 > 1:30:15Tom, this set-up is a racket.
1:30:15 > 1:30:22Cartley and Red don't care how many of you are killed as long as they split their extra 200 every week.
1:30:22 > 1:30:29That's why they hire drifters like you and Gino who let themselves be hustled for money!
1:30:36 > 1:30:41- How do they make that much money? We get good pay.- Not all of it.
1:30:42 > 1:30:45Tom, listen.
1:30:45 > 1:30:52The head office pays basic salary for five more drivers than Cartley runs.
1:30:52 > 1:30:59Red paces a short-handed crew to meet the contract. The cash for five drivers never reaches our pay window.
1:30:59 > 1:31:02Did you tell Gino about this?
1:31:05 > 1:31:08Are you sure about...?
1:31:11 > 1:31:13These are friends of his, Doctor.
1:31:13 > 1:31:16You can see him.
1:31:22 > 1:31:25How... How is he, Doc?
1:31:25 > 1:31:30If you've got anything to say to him, you'd better say it now.
1:32:07 > 1:32:10It's Lucy, sweet...
1:32:10 > 1:32:13Lucy and Tom.
1:32:26 > 1:32:28Hi, amico.
1:32:28 > 1:32:32I was leaving when I heard what happened.
1:32:32 > 1:32:36I was on the railway station. Wasn't I, Lucy?
1:32:36 > 1:32:38Yes.
1:32:38 > 1:32:41Gino, it was you she wanted.
1:32:41 > 1:32:46All the time. She's your girl, Gino.
1:32:47 > 1:32:49You tell him, Lucy.
1:32:57 > 1:32:59No... No.
1:32:59 > 1:33:02You are right for each other.
1:33:02 > 1:33:05Be happy...
1:33:05 > 1:33:07together.
1:33:07 > 1:33:10Tom...
1:33:11 > 1:33:15Tom, you take care of my Lucy, huh?
1:33:15 > 1:33:17And one day...
1:33:19 > 1:33:21you take her to Italy.
1:33:21 > 1:33:24Va bene?
1:33:24 > 1:33:27- No, Gino...- Tom...
1:33:28 > 1:33:31I drew them off like we planned.
1:33:33 > 1:33:36For you to win.
1:33:36 > 1:33:38Crazy!
1:33:38 > 1:33:41You don't even come.
1:33:43 > 1:33:45You...
1:33:45 > 1:33:48You changed the number plates?
1:33:49 > 1:33:52And they thought you were me.
1:33:54 > 1:33:57I was number 13.
1:33:59 > 1:34:02Who was it, Gino? Was it Red?
1:34:10 > 1:34:12Gino!
1:34:17 > 1:34:21Just wait outside a moment, will you, please?
1:34:30 > 1:34:33They...
1:34:36 > 1:34:38RECITES PRAYER
1:34:38 > 1:34:41Oh, my God!
1:35:04 > 1:35:09Eddie, take the recovery truck and get out there right away!
1:35:09 > 1:35:13Write-off or not, she'll be good for some spares.
1:35:13 > 1:35:15Cooper!
1:35:15 > 1:35:19Isn't this Red's truck? What's he doing in?
1:35:19 > 1:35:26Oil refuel. He's losing it somewhere. I'll fix it tonight. He'll be out in a minute.
1:35:27 > 1:35:29Lucy!
1:35:33 > 1:35:37What are you doing in here? Get off my desk!
1:35:38 > 1:35:41Gino's dead.
1:35:43 > 1:35:45Oh...that's bad luck.
1:35:47 > 1:35:49You...
1:35:49 > 1:35:52Did you have to kill him, Cartley?
1:35:52 > 1:35:59I'll pretend I didn't hear that. You better get out before you say something you might regret.
1:35:59 > 1:36:04About the money you're grabbing by running us short-handed?
1:36:04 > 1:36:07- Yeah, I know all about it.- Oh.
1:36:08 > 1:36:15You do now? I see. If you know so much, why don't you go and report it somewhere?
1:36:15 > 1:36:22- You'd only get nicked. That's too good for you!- Think I don't know you're driving without a licence?
1:36:22 > 1:36:27How long do you think you'll stay out with your record?
1:36:27 > 1:36:34Then we'll do time together and I'm used to it. I'm giving you a week to pay, Cartley.
1:36:34 > 1:36:41- Where are you going?- You want loads, you'll get them! But we're getting all the money that's coming to us.
1:36:41 > 1:36:44- Every penny of it.- Listen, Yateley!
1:36:47 > 1:36:50Listen, wait a minute, damn you!
1:36:50 > 1:36:55You're a clever boy and a grand driver. I've seen it all along.
1:36:55 > 1:37:02I can get you a corner on this. Double your wages. A lot better than a bonus. Listen!
1:37:03 > 1:37:06Listen, Tom...
1:37:06 > 1:37:09I can make things much easier for you here.
1:37:09 > 1:37:12OK. And I'll take over number one.
1:37:12 > 1:37:18- It's better than that junk you gave me.- All right, all right.
1:37:18 > 1:37:25- It can be arranged, but let's talk about it first.- No, Cartley. I don't want you and Red for partners.
1:37:25 > 1:37:30- You're not my type.- You're being unreasonable.- Tell Red I'm after him.
1:37:30 > 1:37:37Tell him I don't have any proof that he smashed Gino, but one day he'll show his hand.
1:37:37 > 1:37:39And I'll smash him!
1:37:42 > 1:37:44Hey!
1:37:45 > 1:37:50Hey! What's that rat doing in my truck? Why didn't you stop him?
1:37:50 > 1:37:53Stop him? Huh!
1:37:53 > 1:37:57He knows. That slut must have told him.
1:37:57 > 1:38:02He's taken your job and truck. Says he'll get you for killing Rossi.
1:38:02 > 1:38:05- Rossi's dead?- Rossi's dead.
1:38:05 > 1:38:07And we're in big trouble.
1:38:08 > 1:38:13You'd better get after him quick. Now!
1:38:13 > 1:38:15There's number three.
1:38:15 > 1:38:23- What about you?- I'll back you up. - You're coming with me. I want a witness if anything goes wrong.
1:38:23 > 1:38:28- Don't be a fool.- I said you're coming. That means you're coming!
1:38:28 > 1:38:31Red, Red... All right!
1:38:52 > 1:38:56- What are you going this way for? - I know what I'm doing.
1:38:56 > 1:39:01- He's gone to the ballast pit. - Where does he go after that?
1:39:01 > 1:39:06What are you doing with number one?
1:39:03 > 1:39:06I AM number one!
1:39:17 > 1:39:19We're here.
1:39:31 > 1:39:34He's taking it slow.
1:39:34 > 1:39:38Tom came in with your jeep. Is he in the office?
1:39:38 > 1:39:45No, he went back out on the run. I think he's in for it. He took number one truck.
1:39:45 > 1:39:49Red and Mr Cartley went after him. Oh, no!
1:39:49 > 1:39:51Open the gate, Harry.
1:40:05 > 1:40:09- Red...- Ssh! - TRUCK APPROACHING
1:40:30 > 1:40:33Red! Maybe we ought to...
1:40:33 > 1:40:35Uh-huh?
1:40:35 > 1:40:40This is cold blood. It's murder. I don't want any part of this!
1:40:40 > 1:40:43- Let me get out of here!- Sit tight!
1:40:43 > 1:40:46Sit tight.
1:41:18 > 1:41:22- You've got him!- No, we haven't.
1:41:26 > 1:41:29- What's wrong?- The brakes!
1:41:30 > 1:41:32Tom...
1:43:09 > 1:43:11Tom!
