Yup.

Keep that and sign.

It is 0754 June 16th.

That's 522,655.

Exactly.

Keep that.

Thank you, Governor.

There you go.

Don't worry.

I wish I had a five of every half million phones I've signed for.

Nightwise Choles.

Nightwise.

Right then.

Those two are sitting in the barrel.

It's all ties, Charlie.

Tails.

It's it is.

All

right, one, message over.

All right, one, seven, number.

All right, one.

We are mobile.

I'm just in for about 39, proceed into location 18.

Time, uh, eight, uh, one over.

Hey,

young Terry seems a bit keen on riding in the come.

Young Terry is a bear of little rain.

He's only in the war about areas, surrounded by

all that money, and reading his pornographic books.

All right, does he?

Well, it's a bit unfortunate, I've done it.

You are a dirty little devil.

Hey, I'll put a stock to his game.

Hey, boy, what's your game?

Who put the light out?

What put the light on?

I hate the stock.

You've got an 18 frame!

I know what you're going to say, and the answer is no.

You were going to ask in your impeccable B-dales English whether I would reconsider

pairing you with that Yankee do-do-do dandy.

Look, sir, I can't work with you.

Harry, I don't want Dempsey in my firm.

My governor don't want me either.

But the home office have different ideas.

Between you and me, who else will I pair him with?

I'd bunch of animals out there.

They wouldn't sell much of a chance for them, would they?

Besides, he's only with us for 12 months.

He'll lie back and enjoy it.

Think of English.

There's a condition.

Oh, yes.

Four weeks leave after my 12 months are up.

All right.

Put it in the book.

Who's that?

Oh, Harry!

Go and pick up Cagney or Lacey or whatever his name is with him and bring him in.

He's late.

Who's that?

Make peace?

Yep.

There's a heavy-duty transit van gone missing.

He left the Bank of England to $800 this morning

when he's waiting for him to disappear off the map.

How much will they carry him?

How much?

That's a bit premature, isn't it?

I mean, they're only an hour late, after all.

They probably whipped their alarm fuse out of the truck,

and as stuffing their faces were baking an egg somewhere.

You know, listen, we'll ring around and see if we can come up with anything.

In the meantime, I'll close all major exits from the city, OK?

Half a million in used notes.

Magic.

OK, what's the time, Frank?

Hang on.

Let's go past it.

Two assets, we have to back it here.

Where'd you rent me on it?

We did a lot of traffic.

Perfect work to begin with, but I don't know.

I mean, I've lost all sense of time in a long direction.

They're trying to do it again.

I just tried it, didn't I?

It went solid, it won't budge.

Hang on me, let us give you more.

This won't be a mystery tool for us.

Put our leg money on a geese and drive in

his ring, knowing exactly where we're going.

But another mile or so.

And remember, keep it smooth.

Nothing violent.

Morning.

May I come in?

Yeah, I guess.

Hey, it's free.

Thanks.

Make yourself at all.

You know, before we go any further, I think we gotta get a few things straight.

Right now.

First off, I didn't ask for this transfer.

I got detail.

Number two, I don't agree with women having anything to do with police work.

They don't know how a criminal mind functions.

And they simply cannot cope with the physical stress of the job demands.

Now, having said all that, assuming that you've already tried to get spikings to

change his mind and you failed, I think you were stuck with each other.

Here's what I propose.

I'm prepared to overlook your shortcomings.

If you're willing to ignore my sometimes-brash behavior

and my annoying little habit of always being right.

Oh, yeah, and the fact that you're a sergeant, and I'm a lieutenant,

what do you say?

Well, if you're comfortable with that, great.

I'll just treat you like one of the guys.

The vehicle has now been missing some three hours.

And between you and me, the boys on the fifth

floor are on the verge of having a coronary.

This is the second one this week.

And we're going to look pretty superfluous unless we come up with an answer.

And I mean an accurate answer, PDQ.

So get out and above.

Get in the gear, start leaning on a few people, okay?

Yeah, okay.

Come on, let's wait for me.

And by the way, Dempsey, may I?

May I?

May I have that piece of artillery that's slowly dissociating your left shoulder.

It's not necessary, it's against the law and it'll ruin the cut of your jacket.

Dempsey, when the prime minister and the home secretary

instructed me to set up this special unit to combat major crime.

I did not expect to be wet nursing ex-Vietnam soldiers touting bazookas.

And when it comes to a gunfight of the OK Corral situation, I

will be the person in charge, issuing the necessary hardware.

You're a voice.

I see you have already mastered the art of English under Satan.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a briefing to attend.

A bollicking to administer and a snout to pay off.

Go and find me half a million.

What the hell is going on out here?

What a float.

What on the boat?

What on the bloody boat, Frank?

There's going to be, sir.

There's going to be ammo, but...

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

I fully understand that, sir.

I've got all my people working on it.

Something should pop soon.

Yes, sir.

Yes, I will, sir.

Chaz?

Listen, I've got a shoot.

I'll call you back here.

That was himself.

He's not what you might call all sweetness and light.

Neither am I for that matter.

What do we got?

Blanco.

Blanco?

Not even a definite mate.

No, Governor.

I suppose we've checked those three security blokes.

I haven't gone any while.

Disappeared off the sides of America.

It's been known.

We've done that.

And they all seem to be on the level.

Well, I know his nibs upstairs is convinced that we are

a major contribution to the safety of the metropolis.

But if we don't come up with something quick, we'll

just be a suitable skid might, so I'll memory lean.

If you form, I mean...

What's that?

It's Robin Hood, who do you think it is?

Shabball the money out through the shoot, and you won't get hurt.

Any of your rights and that little prisoner yours turns into a coffin, okay?

I can't see.

There's no light in here.

Just start shoving the money through.

I know my say should be.

I'll tell you when we got it all.

And you can stop groping around in the dark.

Sit back and enjoy the view, okay?

What do you mean, shove the money through?

Open up the back, will you?

Do you think I've gone soft in here, or something?

Now listen, if you don't shove that money

out through the shoot in double quick time...

We're burn our way in.

That's not the plan.

What are you all about?

We'll get a case from the two in front and I'll pull up.

Get our torch over here.

What are you playing at?

I'm too gentle, won't be too pleased about this.

Your face is stopping to let me out.

What is it you're doing?

Shut up, Terry.

You know when you're coming, many more.

There.

Call the police, they're going to get these.

Frank, they've killed Terry.

Oh, I didn't get much of my little bookmaker friend.

He doesn't know names, he usually knows something.

They know.

But how do you feel you're qualified to comment?

And one of my most reliable people.

You've only been in the country a few days.

You were scared.

How do you make that out?

I can smell them.

Really?

With a skull like that, you can always tell.

A what?

A skull, a low life, a germ, a warmer mutt.

All right, I get the idea.

How many times do you see that guy?

He always gives you a hot tip on the horses, right?

Right.

Wrong, today no tip.

If you wanted us out, I can smell them.

You marry?

Sorry.

There was.

I'm separated.

Same difference, what do you do?

His barrister.

A what?

A lawyer.

No kids, huh?

No, no children.

You live along?

Yes, indeed, lives with my ex-best friends.

And we're all very happy, why?

Always.

So what now?

Gloria, much more your type.

Say, why don't she's got her meter runner?

Too early, this is England.

It's not 42nd Street.

Oh, Harry, now, how are you coming?

Oh, hello, darling.

Well, keep you long.

What'd you like to go through?

He's with me, unfortunately.

Oh, shame.

Let's all go through then.

Just made a nice party.

I thought she was supposed to be French.

Oh, well, well, well.

Where was this thing?

He's a bit of an improvement on the run of the mill.

Faz, you normally tell it around with you.

Gloria, this is Lieutenant Dempsey.

He's from New York on attachment.

Oh, attachment, eh?

I didn't suppose you've heard anything about a

security track that went AWOL early this morning.

Oh, I bet Les got you all up running about like chickens with aids cut off.

You could say that.

Have you got anything, Gloria?

Well, for a bit more than normal, they know.

Well, it must be quite embarrassing.

Half a million.

I think the auntie's been upped all round with this one.

I heard a whisper.

It was the Lewisian mob.

But I don't think so.

Well, it's too clever for them.

It's more like a contract job for someone up made of airway.

Made of ale?

Oh, you won't know.

Nobody knows them.

They're no foreigners.

The whisper is.

What?

Look, I'll need a bit more on this one.

Plastic surgery comes expensive.

You'll get it.

Okay.

Jimmy Reynolds is under contract to him.

Jimmy Reynolds.

Yeah.

He's got a partner semi-brice.

They're in a couple of barges down whooping.

Anything else?

Look, I've been warned off darling.

If light bloke comes back, one of you left to shoot upstairs.

Okay.

Who warned you off?

Was it Wesley?

Wesley, is your pen?

Yeah.

Here.

Don't you talk nice.

He's coming.

Quick, Harry.

Shoot upstairs to Linda's for a while.

Wait until he's let himself in and leave.

All right.

All right.

I'll phone you later.

Okay.

I'll see you in the car.

Yeah.

Sure.

Well, we may as well make ourselves at home.

You'll have to stay a bit now anyway.

So, what do you think of old London town then?

Hey, sorry, man.

What were you saying?

I was saying it's too early.

For what?

For England.

Says who?

Says my partner.

Oh, she knows nothing that one.

Too highly bred.

You're not in that much of a hurry, are you?

And I take American Express.

It's quite finished.

Wesley bust in on us how to make it look like I was a paying customer.

Well, you?

Like you said, it's too early.

How'd it go then?

Any trouble?

Like clockwork.

They never knew what he did.

So, what's your game, man?

I thought we ought to, uh, consomate my alibi.

You know what I mean?

Who the bloody hell are you?

Dempsey Police.

Well, get out!

You'd get to come!

Sit down, lady!

Go ahead.

I need the practice.

What do you want, pig?

I want some information.

I don't want to fast.

Or I'll hit you so hard you'd be wearing your ass for a hat.

You got to be joking.

Look, he was with me all night and all morning.

True, I wasn't.

Pig.

Next time, get yourself a search warrant.

I'm gonna give you some free legal advice.

Give yourself a good attorney because you're gonna need it.

Oh!

Look at that!

Jimmy!

Look at that, will ya?

Yeah.

Go to J7.

Sorry?

Go to something to drink.

Some clemons.

To what?

He'll know what it is.

One of those in, uh, bottle of beer.

You want him from a straight glass?

One in a bottle.

Straight glass.

What's with this guy?

I think I'm gay or something.

Why?

How are you?

You want to find out?

Hey, thanks.

Now you expect me to believe all that, eh?

Well, let me suppose if you don't.

It sounds a bit bloody fair, you don't?

You can say that again, sunshine.

So you maintained that at 8.20 this morning, you, the transit, your mates,

the money were bulldozed into a container van.

You were driven for about two hours.

You know not where.

Transferred to a ship and sometime later the money was demanded.

The bloke in the back, uh, Terry Bayless, who was blown away by a sauna of shotgun,

handed it over.

And at exactly 2.30 this afternoon, you and your mates were

ejected from a van right back where you were this morning.

Yeah.

The boiler bike and the blokes with the shotguns were all masked.

The transit was covered with the torpedoing for the duration of the trip.

At some stage you think you heard someone speaking French.

You heard the sound of lapping water.

And you think you heard a name that could have been Chinese.

That's about it.

Yes, sir.

But you're not at all sure.

That plot, my old son, would look very good on the back of a cornflakes packet.

I'll leave, Frank.

Sir, telephone.

Who is it?

I'm afraid I didn't ask her.

If it's my wife, Chas, you're in dead trouble.

Who's that?

Oh, Harry, where are you?

Hang on.

Hang on.

Now, start again.

It's sketchy, sir, but we've come up with this.

He's gone to the mall in lots of little plastic bags.

So it's a murder job now.

So what do you look?

The lawyer thinks that the job has something to do with a man called Jimmy Reynolds.

That's why we're down here.

Well, we went to see Reynolds.

They didn't get anything out of him.

He looks dodgy, though.

Reynolds?

Jimmy Reynolds?

Yes, do you know him?

Yes.

He particularly nasty ex-security guard, just out of bottlings, only out of white.

Half old teas, bomb.

Well, apparently Reynolds owns a couple of barges down here with a Sami Bryce.

He's a waterman, works a small term.

And where's Bryce now?

Do we know?

The barman says Bryce moved one of his barges down to Greenwich this morning.

Oh, some of the lads down to check it out.

Listen, there's not a lot more you can do down there now.

And it looks like it could get a bit heavy, so you'd better come back to the office.

By the way, how's the great American disaster?

A long way up my nose.

Chaz, punch the buttons on Hattie's computer.

See what we've got on Jimmy Reynolds.

Then get a couple of units down to the pier at Greenwich.

They're checked on a bloke called Bryce.

Time to take shooters just in case.

We've got to get back to the office.

The security guards have turned up, dumped out of a truck.

Excuse me, are you with me?

Maybe they didn't.

Sorry?

Maybe they never left the city at all.

What?

Maybe the money's still right there.

Could you expand on that a bit?

Let's suppose that they didn't.

They couldn't drive the money out of the city,

because spiking sealed the city off, right?

Maybe they never left London at all.

Perhaps I could help you if I knew what you were talking about.

There's only one way to find out.

I'm going back to the office.

Oh, you want to play Cub Scout fine?

I'll catch a cab.

Dempsey!

Make peace.

Take a look out there.

What are you sawing in?

Reynolds owns a barge somewhere down on the river.

A barge that he and Bryce moved on to Greenwich this morning.

A barge big enough to hold a security truck?

Make any sense to me?

Say Mac, do you know a guy named Bryce?

He's a tugman around here?

Sammy Bryce, what do you want within?

Oh, we got a houseboat that we got to have moved, and we heard that he could do it.

We understand he'll do most things for money.

I think the waiter did my money all night.

That's him over there on his tub.

Will you take us out to see him?

Not me, Larry.

I'm off.

And Sammy Bryce don't take too kind of visitors.

Thanks.

Let's go.

Go, go where?

Visiting!

You can't just come and do a few things property like that.

The ship is sailing, sweetheart.

Are you one or off, in or out?

This river is quite dangerous, you know.

There's about a seven-month current.

Do you know much about boats?

Not a whole lot.

You're a cub, Scott.

You want to take over?

Mind if we come aboard?

Who are you?

Police.

Here, come for me, Scott!

Turn around.

You move.

You lose the rest of that hair.

Now where's the money?

Money won't money.

I don't know what you're talking about.

No, he is.

I have been appointed to well in true service.

I'm related to Queen in the office of Constable.

That means you tell me what I want to know, or I'll blow your head off.

Sir, sir.

Was that gunfire?

Yes, sir, from that tug out there, sir.

Any see anything?

No, sir.

But Harry's car's parked over there.

Don't say.

It's Reynolds.

I'm down at the pier, each calling with fuss.

Here, all over the place.

Well, I don't know the money's on the dog.

Look, I think I better hang up that for a bit.

I don't trust Bryce.

I tell you, you'll seem like a canary given a little bit of encouragement.

Do it, or, with this every duty mob about, do me a favor.

Jimmy, just call me another friend for you.

Oi!

You'll see what you can do.

We need more time.

You'll let me know.

Reynolds says the police have laid on a reception committee.

Just keep quiet, old lady.

And you'll be fine.

Do you see who I see at the end of the pier?

Well, it ain't Big Ben, that's for sure.

Alright, so just tuck down, mister.

One way or another, you're gonna tell me what it is.

Come on, come on!

Up there.

You came from up there.

You two, don't help them with that boat.

Go, go, go!

You are the two, come with me.

Is he dead?

Just a bit.

Someone seems pretty keen on protecting their interests.

Take the wheel.

I'll search him to see if I can find anything.

And please don't knock the pier down.

Anything on him?

Nope.

Except a number on a brand new pack of cigarettes.

It probably means it was written not so long ago, what do you think?

I think we're gonna hit the pier.

Hold it right there, Reynolds.

I'm an armed police officer.

Don't move with a fire.

Drop that rifle or I'll fire my weapon.

Drop it.

Now slowly, down here.

There are no witnesses.

One move out of order.

And you'll go down a self-defense.

What are you claiming yet?

Just returning the money, sir.

I'll see you manage it in your usual fashion.

There's no stopping here, I'm afraid, sir.

Well, you two wait here.

I've got to talk to Reynolds.

Reynolds?

Yes, he was up in those flats with the rifle.

Anybody else?

Who else, Dempsey?

You think the whole firm's gonna come down here and get themselves arrested?

Well, I'll wait here, both of you.

You're the boss.

Get those boxes.

Dempsey.

Let's get out of here.

But he told us to stay here.

You always do what you told him.

Listen, that number could take us to who organizes things.

Spike, you just skin us a lot.

Yeah, I'll try it.

Just decide.

Let's get on the radio and trace the phone.

I think the public can be slightly more subtle, don't you?

Hello, Charlie One.

Can you relay this transmission to my control?

Over.

Charlie One?

No.

I can do without this.

Is that the best modern high tech can do?

Contact my control and tell him I'll phone him.

Out.

Officer.

Where's the nearest phone box that has no default frontal lobotomy?

There's one round that corner, sir.

Wait, you lot, come here.

Don't mean that with the uniforms it's bad for my blood pressure.

Now...

Where's Batman and Robin?

They've just gone, sir.

Gone?

Gone where?

I don't know, sir, they didn't say.

Get in your car and try and raise them on the radio.

I've got to talk to Chaz.

Chaz?

Listen, I'm a Greenwich.

Now, that name that the security driver

couldn't remember, he said it sounded Chinese.

Well, I don't think it was.

Harry... Harry said something about some other

foreigners being involved, and I just captured Reynolds.

He snagged at the skipper of a tug.

Oh, yeah, it's the Fourth of July down here.

Anyway, we've recovered the money.

Reynolds has gone all tight-lipped once they're worried.

But I put money on him being in cahoots with them Maltesas.

Those villains we had a whisper about some days ago.

Spicery, that's the name.

Check them.

Spicery, hang on.

There's not much.

There are two of them.

Chen Tzu and Michel.

They're cousins.

And there's an address in Balaam.

What's that address again?

Yeah, I got that.

And the names again.

Michel.

And who?

Chen Tzu.

Chen Tzu.

Say, I've got to talk to you for a few minutes.

Who are you?

Name's Dempsey.

Police, just a few routine questions.

It's not important.

I think we better get out of here.

What do you do?

Start the car.

Don't throw it.

Get us out of here.

Yeah.

Chen Tzu!

Chen Tzu!

Chen Tzu!

Chen Tzu!

They never believe me.

That's what I like to see.

A close working relationship.

See if there's nothing left in the car.

It's getting out of here.

You can buy me a pizza.

Don't say.

Before you go.

Gimme.

This is not New York.

Now keep it safe.

I'd lock it up.

Forever.

You're a boss.

This is a fact.

Can you handle it?
