[Horn honking]

[Jolly piano music]

Here you go.

Dear, oh dear.

We walked all this way for this.

It's closing down,
it's my last chance.

Can I borrow your
glasses, Gerry.

Well go on, it won't bite.

You sure about that?

Jack, come on, you're
a man of the world.

Doesn't look like
this is of this world.

No thank you.

I don't eat food that wobbles.

Well you don't know
what you're missing.

Mmm, the true
taste of old London,

you know, the one being
wiped out by Ken and his cronies.

I mean, hundreds of years
of history and tradition-

oh for god's sake, shut up.

Look, I'm eating it.

[Brian grimacing]

[Sandra gagging]

I've come all
this way and I still

haven't had anything to eat.

It's your own fault.

Well I'm having an ice
cream, and Gerry's paying for it.

What a good idea.

What can I get you then?

I'll have a 99, I think.

Excuse me, don't
bother with him.

You want a real ice
cream, over here.

Shut it, gennaro, this is
my pitch and you know it.

Do you wanna see my licence?

Shut your mouth,
you stole that permit.

There's no need for a
ruck, I'll get two off of him

and then two off of you and
then everybody'll be happy.

Figlio di puttana.

What did you say?

Figlio di puttana.

[Loud punching]

[Crowd shouting]

Come on, come on!

Police!

[Shouting]

Right, unless you're
thinking of getting me a 99,

I suggest you stay put.

Mr. Halford.

Oh, come in Jack.

This is Terence Hammond.

How do you do?

Special portfolio for tourism.

Terry and I go way
back, take a seat.

Thank you.

I understand you
were there yesterday,

when ds Pullman arrested
Rocco gennaro and Andy Benton?

Yes, that's right.

Well it seems that there's
some history behind that brawl.

Yeah, the gennaro
family have been

serving ice cream in
London since the fifties.

The Benton's came on the scene

in the early nineties and
they became instant rivals.

What you saw yesterday
was the tip of the iceberg.

Lucky we were there, it
could have turned pretty nasty.

Oh, believe me, this
is a dirty little feud.

With it's own police file.

Public nuisance,
harassment, criminal damage.

It started in '93 with
a few petty incidents,

slashed tyres,
that kind of thing.

Throughout '95, there
was an escalation.

Assault, abh, gbh.

Take a look at '96.

Armed robbery?

'96 was the summer
of the ice cream bandit.

Ice cream vans were being
held up all across London

and each family
accused the other.

It looked as if it was
going to go on forever,

until Andy Benton was shot.

Shot?

Stomach wound.

We had to wait for
about three weeks

before we could get
a statement from him.

The bullet nicked the bowel,

it was touch and go for a while.

Our concern is
that yesterday's fight

signals a new
round of hostilities,

and all in front of
our precious tourists.

Not an image we wish
to portray of London.

Yes, I can see that, but
what's that got to do with me?

We want you to chair a meeting,

a summit between both families.

If you think it'll do any good.

We need a calming,
authoritative,

neutral voice in the mix,
and if what my friend, Bob

says about you is
true, you're the man.

And you said yes?

They need me.

They value my experience
and wisdom, my seniority.

You mean your advance in years.

This is serious, people's
livelihoods are at stake.

If these two companies
can't sort out their differences,

they could well
go out of business.

You getting paid?

Told you, I'm doing
this for the greater good.

They saw you coming
mate, the mayor's office

are getting you to
do their dirty work

and they're not even paying you?

It's not very wise is it?

I'd call it lumbered.

Not all of us do everything
for personal gain.

It's typical of your...

You were gonna say my
generation, weren't you?

Now that shows your age.

Piss off.

[Upbeat music]

Coffee?

Yes please.

That's Alzheimers.

[All laughing]

This is Matthew Benton.

- How do you do?
- How do you do?

Andy, yes, we've already met.

Where's the gennaro contingent?

Oh, don't worry,
they'll be here,

they never miss an
opportunity for a slugging match.

I'm hoping it won't
descend into that.

They've given him a gavel.

He'll like that.

Order, order!

[Silvio] They will
have told them

their side of the story by now.

[Isabella] They won't
start without us, they'll wait.

Look, here it is, through here.

I see you've started without us.

Not at all, we've
been waiting for you.

Please, please sit
down, Mr. Gennaro.

My name is
halford, Jack halford,

and I shall be chairing this
meeting, and let me assure you,

I intend to be completely
neutral throughout.

Let's have no inflammatory
language or wild accusations.

Why, what have they told you?

We haven't said anything,

we thought we'd
leave the lies to you.

Please, now
please, this is exactly

the sort of thing
I'm talking about.

Please!

Now why don't we just
let Mr. Gennaro speak

and then you can have your say?

Mr. Gennaro.

The bentons are
scum, end of statement.

Well, that's not being
very constructive.

It's all you're
gonna get from him.

I've tried to talk sense to him.

You call threatening to drive me

out of business "talking sense"?

It's called competition.

It's called being a
dirty, cheating bastard.

Please, anymore
outbursts like that

and I shall close this
meeting and leave you

to the mercies of
these gentlemen.

Now, perhaps we should discuss

the current position
of the family-

oh yes, just sweep away the
past as if it never happened.

They're very good at that.

Look, I'm sure we can
reach a happy solution

if we can only just-

sit down and talk?

[Jack] Exactly.

Yeah, it's not going
to work though, is it?

It's obvious we're not
meant to get along.

Not while you refuse to care

about anyone else but yourself.

I should've known you'd
come with a closed mind.

I came here to find
the best solution

to my business problem.

You robbed my vans at gunpoint!

I was the one who
took a bloody bullet,

how is the trigger
finger, Rocco, hey?

[Shouting in Italian]

[All shouting loudly]

Gentlemen, please!

[Upbeat musical sting]

This is getting us nowhere.

I couldn't agree more.

Perhaps we should break for...

For what, a fistfight, a
shootout in the lobby?

I don't think so.

As of this very
moment, both of your

licences to trade
are being reviewed.

Now it is down to the
appropriate local authority

to decide whether
to renew or withdraw.

I believe it would
be almost impossible

for either of you to
trade without the licences.

Well now you're threatening
to put them out of business.

However, I would
point out that a call

from the mayor's office is
usually taken very seriously.

Do you even know the
meaning of the word negotiation?

I much prefer the
word ultimatum.

That's constructive language.

Jenny?

The ice cream bandit pulled off

10 ice cream Van robberies
throughout the summer of '96.

The ice cream bandit.

I like it, the cornetto kid.

The 99 gang.

[Chuckling]

The original investigation
had nightmares

because at first they
all seemed fairly random.

There was barely
any physical evidence.

I mean, none of the
witnesses even got

the number for the motorbike.

Oh, there were witnesses then?

Oh yes, Mr. and
Mrs. Lao from Kyoto,

Mr. Alois valois
brantner from Vienna,

miss Jolene klein from
Memphis, they were all tourists.

I don't see the met
funding a full re-interview.

Anyway, no one was
able to give a description

beyond "he wore a helmet".

Except Andy Benton, who
managed to produce this identikit.

It's an e-fit.

[Brian] I suppose you do
remember people who shot at you.

Yeah, he was on his
back for three weeks,

unconscious for most of it.

They did recover
the bullet though,

I think there's a ballistics
report in there, somewhere.

Any other suspects?

Rocco gennaro came
under suspicion fairly quickly.

Doesn't look much
like the e-fit, does he?

No, but the first
few vans robbed

were all Benton's,
plus he's a biker.

Yeah, and with his temper,

I'll bet he had
plenty of previous.

Assault, threatening behaviour,

taking without owner's
consent, he's a bad boy.

He was taken into questioning
and whilst he was in custody,

another one took
place, a gennaro Van.

In fact, all the vans that
were hit that summer

were either Benton's
or gennaro's.

Sounds like tit
for tat, doesn't it?

Or at least an
extension of their feud.

Even so, the original
investigation cast their net wide.

There were 28 ice cream
companies in London at the time,

they investigated them all,

but every inquiry
led to a dead end.

Oh, got this for you,
Jack, off the Internet.

What is it?

Application form.

Acas?

- Oh, very funny.
- [Chuckling]

You know, that
seems vaguely familiar.

In the past 10 years,
Benton's have gone

from strength to strength.

We've invested in new equipment

and we employ over
a hundred people.

It's not bad,
considering in 1991,

we were a failing
dog food factory.

You went from dog
food to ice cream?

It's much the same concept.

So you had to carve a
niche for the new product.

Does that include doing
away with the competition?

Look, I don't deny that we went

into the market fast and strong.

But gennaro said
it was sabotage.

I think you'll find
that's their style.

The only weapon I use is
sound business practise.

But what about Andy?

We were there when
he was arrested.

Well, you can't blame him
for having strong feelings.

I mean, he did get shot.

I can't say I've got neutral
feelings about it either.

The last thing
you expect to hear

is your brother's been shot.

It must've been hard.

Yeah, we nearly lost him.

It took him months
to recover so you can

forgive him for
having a hot head.

So is the hot head the reason

you're the managing director?

Andy's your older
brother, isn't he?

Yeah, I graduated in business.

Andy had other
plans and I guess,

at the end of the
day, I wanted it more.

So he ends up with
an ice cream Van

and you've got
a nice big office.

Yeah, there's no
problem between us.

He runs his own department,
he enjoys his rounds,

clocks off at five and
goes home to his girlfriend.

It's what he wants.

What about you?

I put everything
into this place,

so if Hammond closes us
down, it'll all be for nothing.

So what exactly is in this?

Eggs, sugar,
cream, real vanilla.

You need nothing else.

This is why we did
not make ice cream

in this country
until the fifties.

Rationing.

Times were hard.

People like the bentons have
no idea how lucky they are.

They think everything
modern is right, is good,

that's why they thought
they could just breeze in

and take the sights we have sold

ice cream from
for over 40 years.

So you decided to teach them
a good old fashioned lesson.

I was protecting my livelihood.

I admit that at times things
got a little out of hand.

Such as the meeting yesterday.

And for that, I am truly sorry.

But this is all I have to
pass to my grandchildren.

If Terence Hammond
closes us down,

all that I have worked
for all my life will be lost.

These are the
stabilisers, guar gum,

locust bean gum,
sweeteners, sugar, glucose.

Anything actually from a cow?

Yes, reconstituted skimmed
milk and whey solids.

Yummy.

What do you use
the rock salt for?

Oh, they put it in the
machines, it's a freezing agent.

Did you lose much
in the robberies?

Oh yeah, plenty,

there was over 3,000
pounds in one of those vans.

It was a good summer,
especially with euro '96

and party in the park
and other major events.

Yeah, and the year ended okay,

you didn't have any
problem with your licence.

We'd done nothing wrong,
the licence reflected that.

It was a travesty.

I had a stroke
in '96, the stress,

the worry, it was all too much.

Sorry to hear that.

The bentons weren't,
that's what they wanted,

me brought on my knees.

That's why they sent
their bandit to do his worst.

The bandit was working
for the gennaro's.

It was just their style,
intimidation tactics,

but it backfired on them.

You sound pretty
sure about that.

Look, silvio goes on about
his years of experience

in the business, and
they certainly showed

when he sent
Rocco out to Rob us.

We were hit on the most
profitable days of the year,

not just the hot days, but
the bank holiday mondays,

after major sporting events,
the big London days out.

Ah, a development lab.

You got some new
flavours on the go then?

It's Andy's department,
I don't know.

[Brian] It's a very
impressive setup

you've got here, Mr. Benton.

Well, we're getting
there slowly but surely.

No, it's fantastic.

Hello, what's
going on out there?

[Isabella] You're
making it worse.

How could it get any worse?

They're putting us out
of business, bastardi.

No, no, no, you really
don't want to do that, son.

Do you want another
night in the Nick?

I can't believe this,
you're helping them.

You're helping them
put us out of business,

you don't know
what they've done.

No, that's what
we're here to find out.

Now we're your best bet,

but you're not doing
yourself any favours.

He's right, Rocco.

Listen to your sister,
she's got brains.

I don't think either of them
have got their fair share.

That's enough, Andy.

I don't need you to defend me.

He was at the tower yesterday,

and today I find him at my
pitch, outside Tate modern.

He's deliberately provoking me.

But now you're
playing into his hands.

Just go somewhere and calm down.

I think that's a very good idea,

can we leave it there lads?

Just get them out of my sight.

Had enough of their
silly games anyway.

[Loud slapping]

It's not a game!

Listen you, quit
while you're ahead.

Just get out of here, will you?

You're very lucky, he
could have pressed charges.

Yeah, with us as witnesses.

Can I have my bat back?

No, you can't, gobby little sod.

You know, no one knows a half

of what Andy Benton gets up to.

- He's a sly bastard.
- [Menacing music]

You try taking a look at
where his vans really go,

try taking a look.

Should have got the
uniformed lads in, you know.

Nah, didn't do any damage,

and the other lot just
want them off the premises.

Matthew Benton's life starts
and ends with that factory.

No friends, no bird, all
he's interested in is money.

Nothing wrong with that.

Well no, but that
depends how far

you're prepared to go to get it.

Look, they started that
business up from scratch,

which takes balls, big
enough balls, maybe,

to wipe out who's
ever in their way.

Well the gennaro's
were certainly in the way,

especially when the trading
licences were being handed out.

Maybe the bandit
was a smear campaign

on behalf of the bentons.

No, Matthew Benton's a
businessman, he's a rationalist.

He wouldn't risk
everything to set up

the gennaros and
then only cock it up.

As soon as Rocco
was behind bars,

the bandit conveniently
presented them

with an alibi by
robbing a gennaro Van.

And Andy Benton was
the one who got shot.

Well maybe the Benton
robberies were done by a copycat.

The gennaro family
were on the back foot,

the robberies were their
chance of gaining the upper hand.

You remember
what silvio said, Jack.

"The gennaros like doing
things the old fashioned way".

Where'd he come from?

[Chuckling]

I'm sorry I'm a bit late.

That's all right,
I'm used to it.

Do you want a glass of wine?

Yeah, that sounds nice.

So, why have you
called this meeting?

Not that it's not lovely
to see you, of course.

Cheers.

It's Caitlin, I want
you to have a word.

About what?

About her addiction
to her duvet.

[Chuckling]

I know we agreed on
her taking a year out

before she went to university,

but the idea was
for her to get a job.

She's probably
considering her options.

Well, you know,
she's going to have to

find somewhere
else to consider them,

because I am sick of
her being under my feet.

I've told her that unless
she bucks up her ideas,

I'm sending her
to live with you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
hang on, hang on.

Well, she is
daddy's little girl.

Yeah, I'll talk to her.

Go on then.

What, now?

[Music playing]

Your mum wants
me to have a word.

Hello?

Excuse me, your dad's talking.

Don't you get scared?

Of what?

Catching swine fever, it's
like a bleeding pigsty in here.

[Sighing]

What do you want?

To talk about your future.

What about it?

Well at the moment,
you haven't got one.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you've
had your year out,

now it's time to get off
your ass and do some graft.

So I'm taking you in hand.

First thing is university.

I don't know how
you've got the nerve,

telling me what to do.

You haven't got the
first idea about my life,

the pressures I'm under.

Pressure?

Give me a break.

The decisions you're
asking me to make

could affect me for
the rest of my life.

That doesn't mean you
can put them off indefinitely.

Look, I don't want you to
make the same mistakes I made.

Neither do I, believe me.

What do you mean by that?

Nothing.

I did all right, got a good
job, a bit of self respect.

Three failed marriages.

And three ex-wives
who are now my friends,

a gorgeous grandson,
two beautiful daughters

and an ungrateful little cow.

But let's forget about
her for a minute.

So I don't need
to go to university.

How'd you make that out?

Well like you
said, you didn't go

and you've done all right.

Might as well put the
money to better use.

Now what I really need is a car.

[Car horn blaring]

Morning.

[Jack] Morning.

[Brian] Morning, Sandra.

Work of art, very nice, Jack.

Thank you, I still have my uses.

What's it mean?

Well, it's the dates
of the robberies,

the location of the Van
and the amount taken.

Morning all.

Morning, look at what
Jack's done, very pretty.

Oh yeah, smashing.

You sure you've
got these dates right?

Well why wouldn't I?

3rd of July, wimbledon?

The bentons are lying.

3rd of July, wimbledon, the
bandit stopped Andy on the way

back from wimbledon and
grabbed nearly 2,000 pounds.

Rubbish, there is no
way he could have sold

two grands worth of ice
cream on that particular day.

Well, no, cause you eat
strawberries and cream

at wimbledon.

No, not just that, on the
3rd of July, cliff Richard

entertained the centre court
because it was pissing down.

The covers were up and down

like a whore's draws
on Friday night,

while he murdered "living doll".

Are you sure?

Yeah, he's right, most of the
top seeds went out that day.

I knew that.

Well, Sampras was
knocked out by krajicek,

- who went on to win.
- That's right.

Yeah, Sampras
lost his concentration

because of that muppet, cliff.

Bachelor boy, my arse.

So what are you saying?

Well, we've caught
the bentons in a lie.

Makes you wonder how
many other fibs they're telling.

[Telephone ringing]

And most of
Rocco's alibis check.

He must've been at home
watching the television

on those previous
dates, because Italy

was playing their
euro '96 fixtures.

Well, no good Italian
boy's gonna miss that.

Well, it's very good
thinking, Gerry,

but but I'm not quite
sure where it gets us.

Well, Rocco said we
ought to take a butchers

at where the bentons'
vans really go.

Sandra, fancy a trip out?

Ballistics have
called about the gun.

Okay.

Ta-ra.

I knew that.

[Gentle funk music]

All these weapons
have been recovered

from armed robberies.

May I?

Please.

While since I've
seen one of those.

No need to be armed in
the old team unit then, hey?

Well, we have our
moments, don't we?

Certainly do.

Anyway, the ballistics
report from our crime

determined that the gun
used was a small calibre.

Yes, I took a look at the
details you sent through.

From eyewitness
descriptions, I think the bandit

was carrying a
competition pistol,

something like this.

Not a usual choice of gun
for an armed robber, is it?

No.

Do you want to try it?

Go on, spoil yourself.

[Gentle funk music]

Where the bloody hell
do you think you're going?

[Mysterious music]

[Loud gunshots firing]

[Machine whirring]

[Brian] Not bad.

Nice gun.

You can keep your
glocks and your walthers,

I'd always buy Italian.

Italian?

They're brilliant gunsmiths.

Beretta, perazzi, gennaro.

Gennaro?

[Funk music]

Who are you going
to sell ice cream

to at this time time of day?

Now you're gonna get mugged.

The family business
has never been a secret.

The gennaros made
the finest guns in Europe,

accurate, light in the hand-

then you made ice cream.

Also the finest.

My father made
guns for Mussolini.

Then the war went against him

and the gennaros
were hunted like dogs.

This is why my mother
brought me to england,

but even here we were
regarded with suspicion.

It was made very clear to
my mother that there was

no way we would be
licenced to be gunsmiths again.

When rationing ended,
we started the gelateria.

Did your interest
in guns continue?

Of course, we brought some
of my father's finest guns

with us to england, but
they were not for shooting.

I own several sporting pistols.

So you shot competitively?

If you can call it that.

You British are not good shots.

I think that is the real reason

your nanny state banned guns.

Did you hand yours in?

Like a good little citizen?

Of course.

[Gentle music]

[Bell ringing]

Sorry folks, they're closed.

[Children whining]

More custom we've lost,
thanks to the bentons.

Well, thank your grandad,

if he'd mentioned
the guns earlier-

of course he didn't,

nona doesn't do anything
to make anybody's life easier.

Here.

What's that?

The receipt from when
we handed in the guns.

We?

Rocco and I saw to it.

They were the only
things that nona's mother

brought with her from
Italy, he was heartbroken.

Is that why you painted this,

remind them of the old country?

How did you know?

You've signed it "I.G".

Oh, it's a beautiful
city, is venice.

You've got quite
an eye for detail.

Thanks.

Any chance of a
word with your brother?

No, he's working,
school trip day

at the natural history museum.

Oh nice, do you never
fancy a day on the Van?

I used to have my own
pitch by tower bridge.

Bentons have got all the
riverside spots now, have they?

Matthew Benton forced
me off mine, personally.

Now, can you tell
me how long they're

going to be keeping
my grandfather?

He's not so good at the moment.

He gives as good as he gets.

Tell your men don't
show weakness.

Nona wouldn't admit
it, but it was the bandit

that caused his stroke.

It was already a hard summer,

the bentons had
halved our profits,

then the robberies, then
Rocco being arrested,

it was just all too much.

I came into the shop
and found him on the floor.

He was in hospital for a month.

You've been looking
after him ever since?

I'm his granddaughter.

Oh, Brian's got
the gennaro receipt

for handing in the guns.

So why didn't he give it
to me in the first place?

That bloody family specialise in

being a pain in the arse.

Sandra, have you ever
had a result from an e-fit?

Yeah, a couple of times,

but I always take it
with a pinch of salt,

they're usually rubbish.

I know what you mean.

Well that receipt won't
make any difference.

The gennaros waited until
the last day of the amnesty

before they handed their
guns in, 16th of October,

and the last robbery
was in August.

He was a member of
a gun club, wasn't he?

Perhaps you
should check that out

and see if it throws
up anything interesting.

Yeah, you know, I can't
believe I'm saying this,

but I think silvio has
become our prime suspect.

No he hasn't.

He had the weapon,
and the motive,

and access to his
grandson's motorbike.

Yeah, right, hell's
pensioners, born to be mild.

Come on, Jack,
he can barely stand.

Because he's had a stroke,

and as soon as he went into
hospital, the robberies stopped.

He's bloody-minded enough,
and it was 10 years ago.

So he would have been...

Same age as I am now.

Like I said, just don't buy it.

[Funky music]

[Brian] I followed
the recipe to the letter,

who writes these recipes anyway?

Well I'm telling you,
they got this one wrong.

Hello, Jack caught
you as well, has he?

Bloody freezing,
what's it all about?

No idea.

[Tyres screeching]

Christ!

Oi, you mind that car!

It's a car park,
not a race track.

Bloody hell, he's
coming right for us.

Hold on, hold on, oi,
what the bloody hell

do you think you're
playing at, stupid sod?

You picked a really
good place to burn rubber,

you pillock, this is a cop shop.

And we're cops.

And So am I.

You see, us oldies are capable

of doing more than
just playing bingo.

Bit of a leap from two little
ducks to armed robbery.

Not for the man like silvio.

He was doing what he had to
do to save his family business,

and you totally disregarded him.

All I'm saying is don't consign
a man to the scrapheap

just because he's getting on,

and Brian, how many
times have I got to tell you,

don't play with your food.

Where are you going?

You can were conspicuous
by your absence yesterday.

You know how it is.

No, I don't, enlighten me.

I'm pursuing certain
lines of inquiry.

Oh yeah, what lines?

Ah, the usual ones, see ya.

Bloody sandwich
is Clay cold now.

[Sandra] Clay cold?

[Brian] Cold as Clay, you know.

[Jack wincing]

[Gentle funky music]

[Teenagers shouting]

Oi, you can't park
there, I'm sweeping.

Yeah all right, I'll
move in a minute,

could you get out of the way?

Could you move please?

Thank you.

Bollocks!

Just been speaking
to the secretary

of silvio's old gun club, he
remembers him very well,

he's as a total
pain in the arse.

How surprising.

Not really, but this is,

the gennaro's had a
family membership.

So Rocco did have
access to the guns.

So two generations with weapons,

motorbikes and
with a killer motive.

And while Rocco was arrested,

silvio could have
done the next robbery

to provide him with an alibi.

The gennaro boys have a
lot of questions to answer.

I say we go back to
the ice cream parlour.

Yep.

We've just had a call,
silvio gennaro's just been

taken to hospital
with a broken hip,

incurred whilst attacking
Terence Hammond.

[Knocking]

Brian Lane, Jack halford, ucos.

What are you here for?

Mr. Gennaro's under arrest.

Well he's not going anywhere
at the moment, is he?

Why don't you give us
a couple minutes, hey?

Go on, go and get
yourself a cup of tea.

Okay, sure.

You've been in the wars.

War is the right word for it.

Would you like to tell
us what happened?

Mr. Hammond paid
of one of his little visits.

He took great delight
in telling me that

all my street vendor
licences were being revoked.

I tried to make him see
what he was doing to us,

to my family, but did he care?

Just wouldn't listen
to anything we said.

So I made him listen.

He went berzerk, set about
me with his walking stick.

Yeah, well I'd call
that a serious assault.

Mr. Hammond's visit to
the gennaro's this morning

arose out of serious allegations
made by Matthew Benton.

Allegations regarding Rocco's

baseball bat assault
on his brother,

as witnessed by two of
your colleagues, I understand.

Now when were you
going to mention that?

It was all going to
be in my report, sir.

I've got a message that the
boss required my presence,

should I be worried?

She knows about Rocco.

[Gerry] What about him?

His Joe DiMaggio act.

Oh, not now, not yet.

What's going on, where
have you been all day?

Listen, you were on the
drug squad, weren't you?

For my sins.

Well that story about dealing

out the back of ice cream vans-

urban myth, that
started in Glasgow.

There were no convictions.

Right.

Why, what you thinking?

Well, it's nothing I can prove,

but I thought I saw something.

I think the bentons might
be selling more than 99s.

The bentons?

That's interesting.

Is it?

Yeah, leave it with me,
I'll see you in the morning.

If I were you, I'd
make myself scarce.

If madam catches you...

Yeah, consider me gone.

Ta-ra.

Well, Mr. Benton
must be running late.

It's all right, love, I'll
just wait here for him.

[Energetic piano music]

Stock orders, stock orders.

Tidy computer needs
a tidy mind, I like it.

We have the technology.

Let's see what we can do here.

[Secretary] I'm
sorry, Mr. Benton,

there's a Brian Lane
waiting in your office.

And what did he
say that he wanted?

Sorry, I didn't realise that
we had an appointment.

How can I help?

Peanut butter choc
fudge swirl, fantastic.

Yeah, it's a big seller.

Is this one of Andy's creations?

[Matthew] No.

So which are his flavours?

None of them.

If you wanted free
samples, I'm sure that I can-

you know, I was just wondering
why you changed your mind.

About what?

About shopping Rocco gennaro.

Oh, well, when an
opportunity lands in your lap,

-you've got to- -opportunity?

Yeah, Rocco and Isabella,
handed themselves on a plate.

If the shoe had been
on the other foot,

they'd have been the first
round to Hammond's office.

I do have a business to defend.

And here's me
thinking you spoke out

because you didn't
want your brother

being threatened by a lunatic.

Oh, that's nice, tower bridge.

Look at the detail in
that, did you do that?

No, I don't have the
time or the Patience,

it was a present.

Was there anything
else that you wanted?

No, no, that was all.

Peanut butter fudge choc swirl.

[Brian chuckling]

Brian, no, you're-

now, before you start,
Esther, this is for work.

Brian, I don't want you-

I am not prepared to say
anything else at this point.

-If you try to do- -leave me be.

Thank you, thank
you, very sorry.

[Gentle music]

[Bottles clicking]

Esther, love?

Drugs?

If I'd had known that's what
you wanted to talk to me about-

listen to me.

I know all the
facts, just say no.

I promise I've
never taken drugs,

not even a spliff, if
that's what they call it.

Caitlin, I need you
to score for me.

Yeah right, I'm
gonna fall for that.

No, really.

What do you want
me to score, Viagra?

Why would you think I need that?

It's not that big a leap.

It bloody well is.

Anyway, it's for a case.

Police work?

[Gerry] Yeah,
investigating a drugs ring.

Cool.

Is it?

Don't get carried away,

your job's the only
thing cool about you.

Oh please, Caitlin, if he
can't say anything nice-

no, I can't, so when
do we go undercover?

Who's the perp?

[Gerry chuckling]

[Rattling]

You are being careful
out there, aren't you?

[Loud explosion booming]

Esther, love, need
some help in here.

[Gentle funky music]

Who buys ice cream at
this time of the morning?

So, this is where the
sting is going down.

I should have worn something
a bit more urban, blended in.

No, I don't want
you blending in,

I want to be able to
see you at all times.

Just do the deal and
get straight back, all right.

Got you.

And if you feel at all
worried, just wave at me.

If he even looks at you funny
he'll have me to deal with.

But you'll blow my cover.

You haven't got a cover,
just in and out, no heroics.

Well?

He's not just gonna
give me a free sample,

I need some money, dad.

If I had a quid for
every time I'd heard that,

I'd still be skint.

There you go.

I'll need more than that.

How do you know?

I thought little
Princess Caitlin

didn't take so
much as an aspirin?

I have friends, I hear things.

Any trouble, you
wave to me, all right?

Yes, dad.

Good girl, be careful.

[Suspenseful music]

[Guitar music]

Come on, sweetheart.

[Car engine starting]

All right?

Drive, just drive.

[Dramatic music]

You okay?

That was brilliant,
straight in, straight out.

Just how I like it.

So what'd you get?

Shouldn't we be somewhere
a bit less exposed?

No, this is all right, come
on, what did you get?

Caitlin, I asked you to score
a couple of e's or whatever,

not become his east
coast connection.

He asked me how much I
wanted and I didn't know,

so I just handed over the cash.

It's a pound a pill, dad.

Blimey.

Hey, hey.

Gerry, I better-

where the hell have you been?

I've been trying to call you.

I've got Rocco
gennaro in custody

for assault with
a deadly weapon,

and I understand you're to
be chief witness at his trial.

Look, I may have
messed up a bit,

but I think all will be forgiven
when I give you these.

What the hell's this?

I don't know, but my
Caitlin just scored them

off of one of Benton's
ice cream vans.

I beg your pardon?

Should have seen her,
Jack, a real pro, a total natural.

You recruited
your daughter to do

an illegal drugs trade for you?

Technically.

Technically I should
place you under arrest,

but as I don't know
what the hell these are-

it's a methamphetamine
derivative

called ya ba, or crazy medicine.

It's very big on the club scene,

and amazingly volatile
when you overheat it.

You've been making them?

Sort of, see, I was
having a chat with Gerry.

Oi, I don't remember
a conversation

about going into
production, honest.

Oh no, that was down to me.

See, I've been going
through the Benton stock list

and I came across
some very strange items.

Just to recap, you
recruited your daughter

to do a major drugs
deal and you're running

a crystal meth lab
out of your kitchen?

Not anymore, I
don't actually have

a kitchen at this point in time.

I'm not even sure I've
got a marital home.

Jack, go and get those tested.

You two are confined to
barracks until further notice.

Don't move until I get back.

Why, where are you going?

To talk to your daughter.

[Gentle music]

I can't begin to tell
you how angry I am.

Today's behaviour was
completely inexcusable.

Before you start, the worst
you can charge me with

is possession, and that will
now be very hard to prove,

unless of course you
arrest the ice cream man,

but he's going to be
something of a hostile witness,

isn't he?

Unless you offer him a deal.

Actually, I was talking
about your father's behaviour,

but how do you know all that?

I've read it, police
training manuals.

Why would you be reading those?

I've been thinking
about joining the force,

I want to do what you do.

We were already getting
warnings about ya ba,

way back when I
was in the drug squad.

The recipe was being passed
around dealers in south Asia,

so it was a only
question of time

before it hit the Internet.

One of the main
ingredients is salt,

of which the bentons seem
to use an inordinate amount.

Jane is gonna have my
guts for garters for this.

And another thing, what kind of

research and development
department works for 10 years

without coming up with
a single new flavour?

Look, aren't you at all worried?

Nah, after the bollocking I got

from Esther last night,
this is relatively soothing.

Sandra, it was all my fault.

I know, she told me everything.

Good girl.

Yes she is, must
be Jane's influence.

Yeah.

By the way, she
wants a word with you

when you've got a minute.

Oh shit.

Caitlin, you tosser.

Oh!

But that'll have to wait.

Now by rights, I
should be escorting you

and Dr. Jekyll here
out the building,

but lucky for you,
you were right.

Methamphetamine.

We're raiding
Benton's this afternoon.

Come on then.

[Dramatic synth music]

Cuff him, get that open.

[Loud clattering]

[Police team shouting]

On the floor, now.

Come on, must
have one somewhere.

A-ha!

Ow!

Well done, it's a great job.

How on earth did you realise

that this place was a drugs lab?

Good policing, sir.

You also have the thanks
of the mayor's office.

This is a triumph for us all.

At least it will be by the time

the press release is drafted.

So we can take it that these are

the guys behind the robbery?

Not really, no, that
investigation continues.

Well, we got the result
we wanted anyway,

both problems solved.

The gennaros, thanks to
Rocco's thuggish behaviour,

and who'd have thought
the bentons could have

put themselves out of the
picture quite so spectacularly.

You jumped up little sod.

This place employed
over a hundred people

who'll all be queuing up
at the jobcentre tomorrow.

Silvio gennaro's in hospital,
his business is wrecked

and you can't wait to run
off to Ken with the glad news.

Well excuse me, some of
us have got a real job to do.

[Gentle music]

[Phone chiming]

Meet,

me,

usual,

place,

a-s-a-p.

Send.

What are you doing?

Setting a trap, fancy
a spot of sightseeing?

[Calm piano music]

Come on, Brian, what have
you brought me here to see?

With any luck, the bandit.

What?

Where?

Over there.

Come on, let's
have a look at you.

Oh, it's Isabella!

Did you know?

No, it's just a little theory
I've been working on.

See, there's a bridge
on Isabella's mural

in the ice cream parlour,
only it's not Italian, it's...

I saw a picture of the same
bridge in Matthew's office.

Then when Isabella
said that Matthew

was personally responsible
for turfing her off her patch,

well, all seemed to make sense.

Of course, there was nothing
concrete to make an arrest.

I mean, she'd have
just denied everything.

Yeah, well, look at her
now, every inch the bandit.

She can't exactly
deny that, can she?

I don't think she'd want to.

[Sombre music]

I think we've caught her

at a very vulnerable
moment, poor kid.

I'll go.

Isabella?

I'm afraid Matthew isn't coming.

How did you?

Is he in on this?

No, no, he kept your secret.

You can tell whoever's in
charge that I had no idea

what my idiot brother
was up to, all right?

They already know, they're
just sorting out the paperwork.

Can I talk to you
about Isabella gennaro?

What about her?

You're still in love with her?

I didn't like him the first
time I saw him, smarmy little.

Look, we'd always
had the tower pitch

until they got their licence.

There was no way
I was moving on.

So he started turning
up, trying to scare me off.

Then I started looking
forward to the arguments.

That's always a good sign.

I was shouting at him one day,

calling him every
name under the sun,

and then he just kissed
me, said it was to shut me up.

That was it, I was
in love with a Benton.

We tried to keep on
seeing each other,

but nona got suspicious.

Rocco started turning
up at odd times,

nearly caught us once.

I had responsibilities
to the business,

so we were lucky
if we got a couple

of hours a week together,
then the robberies started

and the feud escalated.

Yes, being the
bandit must have been

very time consuming for her.

I didn't know it was
Isabella until Andy got shot,

she turned up at my flat
with a huge bag of money,

wanting us to run away together.

It had been her plan all along.

Thought she'd gone mad, I mean,

she'd just shot my
brother for god's sake.

It was a mistake, Andy
drove straight at me,

the gun just went off.

I wasn't trying to kill him,
however much I wanted to.

I went over to see
if he was all right,

he was well enough to push
my visor up and get a good look.

He recognised me straight away.

But Matthew calmed down
and he told me he'd sort it all out.

I sat by Andy's bed,
being a devoted brother,

but the minute he
woke up, I offered him

his own department
and a huge salary hike

if he gave a false description.

So the e-fit was...

Well he described
the first person

that came into his head.

Who?

Arnold Schwarzenegger.

After your brother gave a
false and misleading statement,

what happened between
you and Isabella?

Well I wasn't going to
throw everything away

for a woman that thought
rubbery was romantic.

So I decided to go
away without him.

I just needed a bit more cash
and I'd be free from them all.

And that's when
silvio had his stroke?

I couldn't go then, could I?

I was the one
that had caused it.

Rocco couldn't handle it.

The bills mounted up, so I
kept dipping into my escape fund.

Nona doesn't know, but
I've been keeping us afloat.

We'd have gone under years ago

if it hadn't been
for that money.

Now nona's gonna have to
manage without me, isn't he?

It's possible.

Isabella?

Arnold schwartzenegger,
no wonder I was struggling.

You see, there's nothing wrong

with my memory, nothing at all.

So you keep saying.

Anyone for a drink?

[Gerry] Thought you'd never ask.

Aren't you taking Caitlin

to an illegal rave or
something tonight?

Yeah, I know a good
crack house you could visit.

Yeah, hilarious.

Actually, I think
Caitlin's going to stay

on the right side of
the law from now on.

Don't you worry,
I can guarantee it.

No, no, no, I shouldn't
be telling you this really,

but she's thinking
of joining the force.

Hey, congratulations.

Where's Brian?

Well if I'd known this was what

it took to get the
kitchen decorated,

I'd have bought you a
chemistry set for your birthday.
