Assistant Commissioner's on the line.

What else?

Kingston can't get any men to the house inside 20 minutes.

20 minutes is in their bloody front yard.

Where's that Dempsey now?

Shoot.

Just about to be reaching out.

There's a lot of radio interference.

Does it make peace with him?

Yep.

Well, perhaps she can restrain him.

Commissioner, they've done it again.

They're petrol station this time.

But we may have got them.

Someone spotted the getaway van.

Hold it.

Where the hell is Watson?

He's on his way.

Commissioner, I don't care what squad they're from.

Special, diplomatic or obscene publications.

If this tip off is right, we would seem to

have cornered a whole bloody military platoon.

And all I've got on the spot is a crazy yank who thinks he's Clint Eastwood,

and I'm only intelligent detective.

She, I don't want to lose.

We'll keep trying to raise Dempsey.

Well, come on!

One,

seven, ninety-nine.

It's the next one.

Pull past it.

Pull past it.

The van's in the driveway.

That's the one.

See, we played on that van.

It's the one we're looking for.

Hang on, we should call in.

You call up?

Dempsey.

Boy, are you going to cover me?

If you looking after me, kid.

No, that's tough.

Come on now.

Move it.

Move it.

Charlie Fide, come in.

Over.

Charlie Fide, do you read me?

Over.

This is control to Charlie Fide.

The order is, hold your position.

Do you read me?

Over.

Step on it.

They get me to be split.

We had to move fast.

You stay here and block your escape route.

Stay here.

I know what I'm doing.

I'll go on the other side.

If they can buy me, I'll block the driver with your car.

Give me your keys.

Dempsey.

Give me your keys.

Come on.

You're going to need the street cleared.

Every house emptied.

Medical backup.

Chopper spotting.

And then some psychiatric negotiators.

Come on, come on, man.

Let's go!

Please, stop your weapons!

Shout!

Shout!

Where's the keys?

You read the keys?

I gave them to you.

No, you were going to.

You didn't.

I put them in your pocket.

No way!

Oh, we must have taken over here.

Yeah, well, you dropped them.

You lost them.

I never had them.

Control to Charlie Fide.

Come in.

Control to Charlie Fide.

Over.

Charlie Fide to control.

We are unable to maintain pursuit.

Get away.

What are you doing?

Saving your ass.

Whether or not this so-called African liberation army really believes that

someday it can liberate Africa, the fact is that they're conducting a war

against a public corporation for no apparent reason.

Consolidated Westmore Limited have interests in South Africa.

Well, we've said lots of other companies.

Why this particular company?

For the bread.

They want the bread.

Could be revenge.

Telling you it's the bread.

I think it's revenge, actually.

That's cool, too.

They seem to spend more time in destroying their

targets than in taking whatever cash available.

That's the bread.

A revenge, too.

But the company's even indicated in various press releases

and interviews that they're prepared to negotiate.

And yet, no contact has been made whatsoever.

A certain time.

Why?

Don't make contact.

It's their banana.

Well, until that banana.

You continue with your previous details.

Consolidated Westmore have a wide range of interests.

These people could strike anywhere.

And if any one of you feels under-employed, he or she...

...can find sorry, it's in me.

You shouldn't charge them there in the first place.

All we had to do was sit in the car.

What, wait for them as they drove away?

Then you wouldn't have lost the keys and we would have... I didn't lose the keys.

Neither did I.

Anybody.

It's what he's saying.

The point is, we would still have had the keys, vodka.

All we had to do was stay put in the car, but you had to charge in as usual.

All you had to do was fire your gun, that's for mine.

Mine.

They didn't fire at me.

They tried to run you down, lady.

That still doesn't justify shooting, not in this country.

What are you saying?

It's not justified to try to save your own life.

It may be just, but it's not legal.

Legal, schmiegel.

Anyway, you had a chance to fire, why didn't you shoot?

I did shoot, but then you got in my line of fire, so I called on you to shoot.

Oh, did you?

What are you telling me?

I'm hearing a problem now.

Since when, Lieutenant, do you tell me when or when not to shoot?

It was an action situation, Sergeant.

So bloody what?

So bloody what?

I saw what happened to you out there.

Oh, something happened to me?

Yeah.

What?

Forget it.

Forget what?

It's no need to be worried.

Who's worried?

I've seen it happen to guys to a lot of them.

Seen what happen?

There's no need to be ashamed.

You froze.

Ah.

I froze, did I?

Like an iceberg.

I'll show you an iceberg.

Command told me to give you this password.

All right, sir.

I got it.

Item one.

A tax of one million US dollars has been levied on your African subsidiaries.

This shall be paid by you in $10,000 bills within 24 hours of receipt of this message

and delivered precisely according to instructions and within the wrapping provided.

Item two.

Consolidated Westmore Limited will apply the necessary economic and financial

leverage upon the illegal regime of Brigadier Emwali to ensure the release

within three days and the safe passage of three political prisoners of our choice.

Seems to be it.

Well, we could organize the money for the prisoners.

It's impossible.

Map of the drop.

Some directions.

Middle of a garbage dump.

This is what they want to wrap then?

Yep.

Smells kind of funny.

I'm a long way from home.

And if you don't like me, leave me alone.

When I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry.

And if moonshine don't kill me, I'll live till I die.

Ah, it's a fine girl, yeah.

To be sure, me darling.

What's that?

Tiresh.

What's it mean?

Something friendly.

Something you learn from your Irish grandmother?

Not exactly.

An old hooker in the Bronx.

When I was a uniformed cop pounding a beat on my way home from around, the last place

that stuff would be this bar was called the Shamrock.

Pick up my father, take him home.

Anyways, I'll look who would come in.

She really liked me, you know.

She'd come up, she'd put her arm around me and pull off one of her shoes.

She'd go, ah, bitch, Jesus.

Akushle me cre, me fit, I'm killing me.

You know something?

What?

How come it's easy to relate to you when we're doing these roles?

Maybe because you behave differently.

Yeah.

Maybe you behave differently, too.

Something legal warmed me up.

Not the ice.

I'm a gambler.

I'm a long way from home.

And if you don't like me, then leave me alone.

Oh,

I'm absolutely frozen.

You could have slept in here with me.

Whose idea was this again?

Mine.

Thought so.

You didn't have to come along.

Ha!

You don't know of this kind of thing in New York?

All the time.

Only, er... give a better class of garbage.

Charlie 2 to control.

Approaching target area now.

Roger, Charlie 2.

Hey.

You call the shots?

He's showing up.

Like you said.

Right on schedule.

I

don't believe it.

Please!

My door!

Come on, man.

Open it.

You told us it was going to be cool.

You ain't got no contact.

We have been taken for a ride.

Or a sharp.

So, they didn't play along.

But now, we are going to destroy them.

How are we going to do that?

But this.

With that, this is going to bring them to their knees.

Alright, I believe you.

I believe there was a dog.

I believe the dog calls you to hijack a

citizen's car and drive it across a public park.

Everyone on the grass?

That's enough.

I don't want to hear about it.

Ever again.

Now, the van was now seen by you heading there.

Now, because of other observations, we can eliminate certain sections.

The, uh... The, uh...

Dog...

Proceeding in the same direction.

Here was the last known address of the ALA before they went underground.

Because Sergeant Makepeace and yourself were the ones who saw the van,

glimpsed the man, and also viewed the dog.

I suggest you get down there straight away and start looking.

Low profile.

This is, is ridiculous.

What's ridiculous?

Cruising around a black neighborhood, pretending not to be noticed.

They can smell it with cops.

Wouldn't be a problem if you'd listen to my idea.

Which one was that?

The one about disguising ourselves as uniform policemen?

Well, if we were in uniform, they wouldn't know we were undercover, would they?

You know what?

If you were only dumb and a real blonde, you'd be a real dumb blonde.

Who lost the car keys at a very crucial moment?

Don't start that again.

I never had those keys.

I put them in your pocket.

Well, they're not there, are they?

What about your pockets?

I search my pocket.

When?

When did you search your pockets?

Because we searched everywhere for them and they weren't on the driveway.

Would you come up with those other keys?

They were my spare set.

I've got two sets.

I'll get two sets.

Don't ever expect you to come help you again.

Don't worry, I won't.

Don't even think about it.

Look, if I ever do need your help, I'll send

a message saying I don't need your help, okay?

You'd do that, babe.

Excuse me.

Do you mind, why don't you put it in the sky

writing so I can get the message real clear?

Okay.

Yeah.

I know.

Suspiciously quiet.

Two days.

Yeah.

Some very interesting things about Consolidated Westmore's

last year performance as compared to this year's.

Oh, yes?

Well, the only parts of the company that the ALA are

attacking are those that would have hurt them the least.

The petrol stations they were selling off before the attacks and the supermarket,

which was also precarious.

Well, you're the one with the head for figures.

Who's that?

What?

Oh, no.

Oh.

Yeah.

What is it?

They've really done it this time.

Cough syrup.

One hundred percent strict mean.

They've been substituting bottles in a chemist's shop.

One old woman already dead, three critical.

Strict nine and cough syrup.

So there is something else going on.

What do you mean?

Well, cough syrup is the cornerstone of the company.

It's their bread and butter.

So I didn't make pieces come up with a very interesting line on this whole thing.

Go and help, Lieutenant.

Hey, help, whoa.

Help her.

What do you put her in charge over me?

Yes.

Is there anything that I could do to help you, Sergeant?

It could be of some help, Lieutenant.

What do you think?

Well, you're not very happy going over computer tables, are you?

You could say that.

Didn't think you would be.

Let me see.

You know how you like fresh air?

It's a rather good artist impression of something for you to look for.

We don't like cowboys in this force, Lieutenant.

That was a tip off.

Check out that clock.

I'll show you what a cowboy is, Sergeant.

You see that guy?

Hold on.

We got a shot of whiskey and a beer chaser, please.

And a glass.

Say, how long you been apart under here?

Hey.

Do you know what I said?

What did you say?

I said, how long you been apart under here?

What business is it?

None.

So I asked.

Because it's my knowledge that bought there's no something.

Something about what?

Something about a bunch of brothers running around with a machine gun?

I ain't saying you know it impersonally.

But you know somebody who does.

That would be five pounds.

For the end phone?

Three for the service charge.

Two for the drinker.

And get out of here.

Look at that glass.

That's filthy.

That's a filthy glass.

Check it easy, brother.

You take it easy, brother.

We cool?

No, you're a bartender or you're a bartender.

Man, I don't know anything.

Listen, no charge for the drink.

That's real nice here.

Then I'll have another glass, please.

I said, clean one.

No, that's clean.

Look, man, I don't know anything.

Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you.

Those brothers are heavy.

I'm scared of the dig.

Now, let me set this straight.

I'm not hiding behind this badge.

It's hiding behind me.

Because I'm crazy.

They sent me here from New York to take care of this.

It's the last thing I'm doing before I leave because I've had it.

So I've got a serpent back in New York.

This chicken shed her skin, like a snake.

I want that snake skin.

Because that skin is hot next to this arctic fox.

I got here in London.

It's in my coop and freezing my chickens and driving me absolutely crazy.

So I want to say, because I've had it.

And you're going to help me.

Because I'm going to knock this off real fast.

You're going to cooperate.

So you got five seconds and I start counting on you now.

One thousand one.

One thousand two.

One thousand three.

That's the place, huh?

All right, your contribution as a concerned citizen has been duly noted.

Now get the hell out of here.

What's the matter?

Take off.

You move.

Okay.

Easy boy.

Add a sergeant.

Round-ups over.

The case is closed.

Oh, uh, that's the chief.

Rest of the Indians are in the lobby.

Why?

Up there.

What's the matter with her?

What ain't?

You're wrong about her.

Out of here I was pardoned.

I got a plan to catch.

Maybe you can get along with her.

Well, we might as well ring Consolidated and tell them the news.

It would seem Dempsey has saved room from going belly-up.

I suppose so.

Get me McLean at Consolidated Westmore, wouldn't you?

Wait.

Think I've got it.

Cancel that call.

And I think I know how to prove it.

Roger.

Hurry it.

Fine.

How are you?

Roger, I need a big favour.

Well, you stay on your toes, you might make a little killing yourself.

Okay.

I need a hotline to a specialist on the New York and the Tokyo Stock Exchanges.

Oh, in London, of course.

Soon as you can set it up.

Great.

Thank you.

Speak to you soon.

Bye.

Consolidated Westmore.

Mr. McLean, please.

Hello, Mr. McLean.

Sergeant, make peace.

We have some very good news for you.

We've caught the gang.

All of them.

No, no.

We'll be making a press statement in about an hour from now.

Nobody else knows, no.

Bye now.

I want to change your pounds into dollars.

Second, sir.

Is that American silver all of that?

It is indeed.

Can I see that?

You don't want to sell us, would you?

I'll give you five for it.

Why not?

Great.

Take it out of there.

Lots of trades came in.

All at once.

What's going on?

Exactly what I thought.

Goodbye, and thank you.

I knew it.

Chas, I'm off to Consolidated Westmore to steal some evidence.

What if Dempsey calls?

Dempsey won't call.

If he does call, I mean, he won't.

But if he does, tell him, I don't need his help.

Hi.

Hello.

I'll talk to Carl over there.

This is, uh, a little bit down the mileage here.

It's got a half the tank of gas in it.

And the credit room is here, that's from New York.

It's all in order.

I'm going to do it with the keys.

It's funny.

Oh, my God.

The keys are here.

Mr. McLean, I'll be here in a few minutes.

Thank you very much.

Oh, uh, Mr.

McLean.

I was just looking for a magazine or something.

I've been put it away for you.

Thank you.

One gentleman.

I think I ought to congratulate you.

Oh, and what?

On the simplicity and elegance of your scheme.

What scheme?

Leaking information to the ALA.

Encouraging them.

Assisting them to attack your own company.

Thereby, forcing down the shares to rock bottom.

And now launching this little dawn raid.

To acquire greater control of your own stock.

Of course, at the same time, making $100 million profit.

And the shares return to a realistic level.

I've already imagined it to play to you, Miss McLean.

Good work, Gar.

Good thinking.

Good work.

Governor?

Why did you call?

I thought you'd gone back to New York.

Yeah, well, I was.

But I called from the airport and I got your message.

Why did you call?

Well, I can't find my Lucky Silverado.

I think it's in the glove box of your car.

I didn't know you had Lucky Silverado.

Oh, yeah.

My grandfather gave it to me.

I've had it for years.

Lieutenant.

Lieutenant!

Seems there's still a lot of heat in New York,

and I think I'll stay a little bit longer.

You'll get used to the climate.

It's not the climate it's hard getting used to.

What?

Nothing.

I just looked in the glove compartment.

Was it there?

No, no, it wasn't.

But I didn't find these.

No kidding.

The keys you lost.

I can't think how they got there.

I suppose I owe you an apology.

Well, you can buy me a big glass of champagne.

It's a lot of ice.

Champagne with ice?

I like it that way.
