Jim? RADIO: Yes, I can hear you.

Jim, she's back.

Oh, hello. She's stopped outside the bank.

She's fiddling in her purse for something.

No, no. It's OK, she was just getting her keys out, that's all.

Pub must be locked, I suppose.

Well, that's all.

Anybody with her?

No, she's on her own.

She's all right, leave her alone.

Hey, Dick. She won't be able to see you from the window, will she?

Her window?

You mean when she gets inside? No, no chance.

She won't be able to see me out of the window,

I'm right on top of her room.

It's a pity I can't pay a visit.

You get bloody lonely up here all night, you know. You stay put.

Remind us just before the pub opens and we'll keep it quiet down here.

And Dick, keep the chat down.

You never know who might be listening.

Yeah, right.

(DRILLING)

(DRILLING GETS LOUDER)

You're nine minutes late.

That pub will be full of punters in 31 minutes.

Get these down you and get on with it.

Don't look like that, son. You ain't started yet.

(TUNING RADIO)

RADIO: Jim? Control. I want accurate times at every stage.

We're nine minutes late already

and I want the time made up as soon as possible.

Remember what I said at the briefing,

this operation is too important politically to take any risks.

Ah, well done, sergeant.

I don't think there's much doubt, is there?

No, it's Iris Long all right.

Do you think she's in on it, sir?

Get hold of Inspector Jack Regan for me, will you?

He might be able to help us out.

Do we have to bring the squad in, sir?

At one time it seems they were contemplating marriage.

Now we're not going to let a little break like that go to waste

are we, sergeant? No!

I want Regan here five minutes ago.

I really appreciate this, sergeant.

I was gonna be spending a dull afternoon watching Fulham play.

(TYRES SCREECH)

Can't we go any faster?

My governor likes people to be punctual.

How long have you been working for Superintendent Grant? Six months.

For my money he's the best superintendent a DS could have.

There is a certain amount of wastage amongst his personnel. What?

I mean, his men keep dying on him.

It's pretty dangerous working for Grant, isn't it?

We have the highest arrest rate in the Met. Yeah, cardiac arrest.

Criticism is something the governor encourages.

Sometimes I think he's his own worst enemy.

Not while I'm around.

RADIO: Hello? Dick?

I want you to watch the main road

as well as the entrance to Woolston Gardens.

Regan. Governor.

Congratulations on your latest medal.

Decoration. Sit down.

Well, it was good of you to volunteer.

Volunteer?

For the operation.

Didn't...er...Jellineck fill you in?

Ah, just as well. The situation has developed since then.

Don't tell me, it's dangerous.

It presents a certain physical challenge.

How well do you know a woman called Iris Long?

I gather you used to see quite a lot of her.

What does that mean? She's involved in this right up to her neck.

There's a bank raid going on, Regan.

And I'd like to have the sergeant fill you in.

RADIO: 3-2-4, are you back on patrol with this?

The woman, Long, lives above a pub.

Here.

Next to the National Anglia Bank.

The raiders are already inside the bank.

They've established a three-way radiolink

between the bank, the leader, who we call Control,

and a sort of super scout who's ensconced somewhere on the roof.

We've codenamed him Eagle. Eagle?

That's nice, isn't it?

They've been inside the bank since early this morning.

They came out of Long's window at the top of the pub

and they entered the bank across the roof.

They neutralised the alarms

and now we think they're working in the vaults.

We're monitoring their radio.

Now, we want someone who can get into Long's room

and stay there without arousing suspicion.

Someone like me?

Yes. Well, you know the lady, don't you?

We want to cut off chummy's exit

while we get on with the serious business of locating Control.

It's what these lads are doing now.

And how long's that gonna take?

Three hours at the most.

You're going down there straight away.

Now, just a minute, governor.

If you know they're inside, winkle 'em out.

Now.

Well, that's what your crime squad's all about, isn't it?

And what about their leader? What about Control?

You pick the gaffer up later, don't you? That's always the way.

He's not gonna hang about while we're arresting his friends!

We're going to miss the biggest fish

and there's something else besides.

That bank doesn't carry enough cash

to warrant an operation of this size.

They're after something in a safe deposit boxes, aren't they?

Something very big.

And I'm going to wait until they've got it before I nick them.

That way we'll all know what it is we've been protecting, won't we?

And you become a hero.

Not at my expense.

What about Long? Iris Long is someone I knew years ago.

She's nothing to do with me now.

No, this is just another of your crackpot schemes

that sent many a keen young Jack to his grave.

Well, I'm having nothing to do with it.

Nothing!

All you have to do is stay in that room with your lady friend.

While you're there they won't risk leaving the bank.

Just give us till closing time.

Oh, closing time now, is it?

We'll have located Control by then.

It may have escaped your notice

but half a dozen men armed to the teeth

are likely to come through the window BEFORE closing time.

And I'm likely to be blown out of that room

like a cork out of a bottle.

Sign for this if it makes you feel any better.

Yes, it does make me feel better.

You want to pull up here, sir?

Oh, no. No, right outside the pub (!)

Open the door as I get out.

Give me a salute and play God Save the Queen.

Regan, by the way,

I want you to find out if the landlord's in on this.

Don't worry, I'll get men posted around each corner.

Bullets don't travel round corners, do they?

Oh, by the way, do the local nick know what's going on here?

No, not yet. Just till closing time.

Stay on the alert, won't you?

Such men were sent to try our patience, Jellineck.

.

.

Georgie, come and have a look at this.

Pfft.

What do you think? Ten minutes.

Well, go on then.

(PHONE RINGS)

Squad office, Sergeant Carter.

George, this is the DI.

Listen, I'm outside a pub on the corner of Woolston Gardens.

In a minute I should be upstairs with a girl I know.

Draw yourself a pistol and get down here with a friend.

Someone who can shoot straight.

Grant's mob are here but the locals haven't been informed

and neither of them know about you, so be careful

or you'll be caught in crossfire. Charming. What's going on?

There's a bank screwing going on. Right next door to the pub.

I see.

I want you to sit in the bar till closing time if necessary

and do nothing till I scream, right?

Right, gotcha. Ta-ra.

Burtonshaw!

Gerry! Yeah?

Get yourself a gun, you're working. Terrific.

I'm looking for Iris.

Iris Long. You know, Iris.

I'm a friend of hers.

What's your name?

Regan.

There's a fella here called Regan.

Is it Jack Regan?

He says, "Yes".

Right.

Top of the stairs, first on the right.

Give us a bottle of scotch, will you? She doesn't drink scotch.

I do.

£3.31.

Come in, Jack.

There's no ice, unless you can mend the fridge.

(PHONE RINGS)

Who's your friend?

None of your business.

Got a nice view.

On a clear day you can see Centre Point.

That's nice, isn't it?

Yeah.

You know somebody's made it.

How've you been keeping, Jack?

Must be nearly four years.

More like 10.

What rank do they dignify you with now?

Inspector.

What are you doing tonight? Going out.

Call him, tell him it's off. No, I can't.

Not tonight.

Course...er...if you want to make an appointment.

A what?

I do it for money these days.

What are you trying to do, impress me?

I'm trying to say "no" gracefully.

You live in a bedsitter above a pub.

The landlord would lose his licence before you drop -

Are you turning this place over? Yeah.

Do you mind?

You haven't changed, have you?

You come in here, swinging a bottle of scotch.

You are in trouble, do you know that?

The last time I had a place turned over

I was with this posh John in St John's Wood.

Nearly rhymed, didn't it?

The doorbell rings and he goes down to answer it.

There were these two 6ft geezers with size 12 boots on.

'You know who we are,' they say.

'Yeah.' he says. 'Ony I wasn't expecting you so soon.

Do come in.'

Then John comes up to me. 'Iris, I want you to leave.'

'You know who they are!' I says.

'Yeah, they're Masons. I've applied to join

and they've sent a couple of their committee.'

'Do leave off. They're not Masons!'

'Look, just get dressed,' he says, 'and go out the back way.'

'Now just at this moment the heavy one comes in.

'Oh,' Jon says, 'This is my wife.'

'Can I ask for your dirty laundry?' he says, without blinking.

'My laundry?' 'Yeah. Your underpants.'

John says, 'Don't get me wrong, I don't wanna seem discourteous,

but I don't see what becoming a Mason has got to do with my underpants.'

'Miter,' the big one says,

'We are not Masons. We are CID

and we are investigating a rpe case in which you are a prime suspect.'

At which my John faints.

'That geezer didn't rape anyone,' I says, spraying him with aftershave.

'Where's the laundry?' That's all they say.

'Try the bathroom,' I says.

So they go out to the bathroom.

I never seen them again.

I reckon they left through the sewers.

Where's your bathroom, Iris?

Straight down the hall.

And hurry up.

Cos I'm going out.

Listen, I don't know who he is!

He said his name was Regan and she said she knew him.

That's all.

Right, right.

The cinema was so hot I fell asleep, you see.

Well, the film went round.

When I woke up it was at exactly the same place as when I went to sleep.

Get away. Yeah, so I watched it to the end

and I went out into the street, it was pitch black.

I thought I'd gone diddlo!

How much longer you going to be, Georgie? Two minutes.

Well, I hope so. Time's going.

Jim? Your man. Right.

Keep going, Georgie.

RADIO: Jim. Control, Jim.

Yes, Jim here. At last, listen carefully.

Someone's with that girl in her room. The landlord just phoned me.

Who is it? The fool doesn't know, I want you to find out.

RADIO: Hi, it's Dick here.

Look, I can take a look if you like.

No, your job is to stay exactly where you are and watch the streets.

Don't move unless I tell you, is that clear? Yeah, got it.

Jim, go up on the pub roof yourself and take a look in the girl's window.

Let me know who it is in that room.

Don't get yourself spotted, understand? Right.

I'm going up on the roof. Give me my coat and a shooter.

And Georgie, you keep going. Right.

RADIO: Zulu 1-3, Zulu 1-3. Did you read my 1-1-3-9 MP, over?

Right, out!

.

.

You notice I'm not eating.

I just want you to realise I cooked this meal under protest.

As far as I'm concerned I'm being kept here against my will.

You ever heard of Superintendent Grant, Serious Crime Qquad? No.

He's got you marked. What as?

Someone with big-time criminal connections.

Ha ha, he's right.

He's not a very pleasant man to know.

Doesn't like women.

(TUTS) One of those.

I'd put him in the same class as...er...

Jack the Ripper.

You're not sitting in a comfy chair.

I can't see the telly.

You can't see the window, either.

You keep looking at that window.

I think it's started to rain.

Has it? Yeah.

What do you keep looking at that window for?

I thought I saw someone outside it, that's all.

It's the cat from the dairy.

Poor thing, it'll be soaking.

Well, why don't you let it in, then?

You know, this...er... Superintendent Grant,

he thinks there's a bank raid going on next door.

He says that half a ton of equipment

was seen manoeuvring itself out of your window.

Early this morning. He was wondering if there could be a connection.

Oh, and he sent you round to see if there was?

Is. They're still in there.

Oh.

And I thought this was going to be a social occasion.

In some ways it is.

I told him to stuff it.

Till your name came up.

Oh, do leave off, Jack.

You wouldn't cross the street to say hello to me

if I lay naked on a zebra crossing.

Don't pretend to be what you're not.

All right, you tell me why I'm here.

Because you wanted to combine business with pleasure.

That's plain, isn't it?

Look, Iris, the world does not revolve around your body.

This bloke Galileo proved it, it goes round the sun.

And what's more, I'm no longer the despised A to C ID

that I was when I knew you. I don't need it every afternoon any more.

And you don't get it either, do you?

Bald, potbellied, double chin. Most coppers get like that.

You been conducting a survey? My sister told me that.

Yeah, all the ones that Millie knows are like that.

You know, if she shaved the hairs off her chest and put a frock on -

Oh, I don't know what I ever saw in you!

You saw free food, free pictures and a hoped-for fur coat!

And was it worth it? 18 months of you, where did that get me?

What did they pay you to stay out of the room till lunchtime?

Ten quid.

Hm! You need a good agent.

This job wouldn't be good enough

if there wasn't at least 50 grand in it.

Look, all this man asked

was if I'd rent my room for an hour.

Who was he? I don't know. Some Henry in the bar.

Look, will you stop going on about Henrys and Johns.

And stop pretending you're on the bloody game.

You'd like to be, but you don't have the application.

That's one thing I've never done.

Made a man happy.

One thing I've never understood

is how you can make remarks like that stone-cold sober.

How long have you known him? Who?

The guy who gave you the ten.

Just met him.

Where? Downstairs.

Landlord introduced us.

How old is he?

About 40. Going to seed.

Not what I'd call attractive

but he had plenty of money.

What does he do for a living? I don't know, he's just some Henry.

He knows the landlord? Yeah, I think he might.

Sometimes when I'm coming through he'll ask me if I'll have a drink.

Who, the Henry? I thought you didn't want to call him Henry.

All right, this geezer, then. They both buy me drinks.

And they give you a tenner. 20.

20? Ten for now and ten for later.

You mean ten for going out and ten for coming back?

I dunno, Jack, do I? Well, do you?!

(WINDOW RATTLES)

Keep quiet.

God Almighty! What are you doing with that thing?

I'm a copper, aren't I?

You leave that poor cat alone.

That's not a bloody cat.

Bloody hell!

There's someone on the roof. RADIO: What do you mean?

There's a bloke, there's someone on the roof!

Where'd he come from? Out the win...

(RATTLING)

Out the window, he come out the window.

Pull yourself together, that's Jim.

No, Jim's here. Jim's here too.

Right, now listen carefully. Stay exactly where you are

and keep out of sight, is that clear? Yeah, but he's got a gun.

Right, Jim... What the devil is he doing on the roof?

Jellineck, he needs to keep off the roof. Yes, sir.

We're getting a different bearing on the Control again, sir.

This one is out by 80 degrees.

Sergeant, are you saying that Control is using different radio sets?

No, sir, it's more likely he's mobile.

I'd say he was operating from a car.

This is Jim,

I've been having a look round up here.

I reckon she's got a customer with her.

RADIO: Customer? With a gun? I don't know anything about that.

I didn't see no gun.

What I do know is, he's going back in.

Right, radio silence until he's gone.

I'll leave my shooter up here with Dick.

Have another look through that window

and if he's harmless get back in the bank.

You're behind schedule.

Right.

Sergeant, if Control is in a car,

how long would it take to locate him?

If he's in a car, sir, it could take all night.

I don't think we've got all night.

RADIO: ..don't want to be sidetracked by roof walkers

or anybody else

unless they're really dangerous.

Are you sure they're robbing a bank?

Yeah.

I told you.

What bank?

That one next door, I told you!

Oh, I know you told me.

I just don't believe you.

What were you doing on the phone?

What phone?

I saw you through the window when I was coming back.

I was telling my boyfriend I couldn't come out

on account of I had a cold.

'Ere, I thought you was chasing bank robbers, not spying on me.

Here, where's my gun? In the dishwasher.

You put it in the dishwasher?!

It was filthy.

What are you trying to do?

That's government property!

(SCREAMS)

What is it? Face at the window.

Where are you going? To the police! Get your hands off me!

I AM the police!

And I told you about the face in the window, remember?

Just act natural and he'll go away. No, he wont. Yes, he will.

No, he won't. Yes, he will.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm, yeah.

Jack, is that in the course of duty?

You've ruined my pistol, you know that?

(PHONE RINGS)

Where's that phone?

Right out on the landing

Hello?

Inspector who?

A bloke here wants a copper.

Inspector Reagal.

Old Bill all over the place!

It's the police!

ON PHONE: Hello? Regan?

Looks as if someone's gone to fetch him, sir. Good.

Here, here! Its Old Bill all over the place!

It's the police! It's the police! I tell you, it's the pl-

Argh!

Hey, you. I saw that.

Argh!

(JUKEBOX PLAYS HONKY TONK PIANO)

Oh!

(GRUNTING AND SCREAMING)

BARMAN: Someone break it up.

Get that one, after him!

Right, guv.

Anything else I can do for you, guv?

Get the old man upstairs. Just a minute, who the hell are you?!

And him! Hey!

Eamon, get the police!

(GRUNTING) Hold on.

It's Sergeant Carter!

(COUGHING)

Cooper didn't say anything about the squad being involved in this.

Get him to the ambulance. Yeah, ambulance. That's right.

All right, son?

(COUGHING)

All right, Dick here. RADIO: Where have you been?

There seems to be some sort of hustle down in the pub.

What do you mean? Does it involve the landlord?

Well, I don't know.

There's some kind of fight, punch-up, down in the pub.

Two fellas ran out, went out the back.

One of them got punched stupid, that's all I know.

I suppose it is Saturday night, isn't it?

(SIREN)

(GRUMBLING AND MUMBLING)

What's the idea of having me paged like this was some kind of hotel?

I got the whole world and his son on our doorstep now.

I'm sorry, Regan.

I thought you'd have had the phone pretty well covered.

What do you want me to cover? The window or the phone?

Hello, what's the problem? What in hell's name made you ring me here?

Regan, I'm sure you have the situation under control.

I want you to know what the situation is here.

We now believe Control is mobile. He's in some sort of vehicle.

It's going to take us a few more hours yet to locate him. What?

I want you to stay there until such time as we do so.

I don't think we'll be needing your bottles.

Get in there and help them.

Hurry up with that.

You've got all of these to open yet.

Hang about, I think I've found it.

What about the girl? She will stay with you.

I don't go for that. It's getting hot here, she might get hurt.

It is essential our friends continue to believe

Miss Long is in that room.

Once she leaves they're likely to become suspicious.

What makes you think they're not suspicious now?

Because we are able to monitor their thoughts over the radio.

Well, let me know the second they decide to pull out. That's all.

Regan?

What was that bit about two men earlier on?

The fight spread outside the pub. Eagle got nervous, that's all.

We've got triangulation on Control, sir.

It's the Hampstead Belsize Park area all right. It makes sense.

High ground, you know.

Those are the two that started it!

I must warn you that...

Get him down to the station.

What's the charge, sir? Well, just hold him for the moment.

He's a bloody cop, him! And him, too.

But he started the fight!

Come on, it'll do you no good to argue.

He started it! Come here!

(ANGRY SHOUTING)

Right, get him outside and make sure he doesn't talk to anyone.

Come on, dad. Well...!

But...but...!

But the gents is upstairs!

(INDISTINCT GRUMBLING)

Dick here. It's all right, it's all clear.

I told you, didn't I? Now get some kip.

We'll wake you at four. Four?

That's right, four.

Very pretty, sling it in there.

It's not what we're after.

All right, Gerry, you can go home.

Oh, you sure you don't want me to stay, guv?

No.

Is there any word on George?

Yeah, he's down the hospital.

That geezer you told him to chase out the pub

only turns out to be one of Grant's boys, doesn't he?

George got jumped. I hope he gave him a kicking.

Er, no, there was three of 'em, guv. Ah, well.

Listen, the next time you - Yeah, yeah. Not many.

Look, you sure you're going to be all right here on your own?

Yeah, yeah. I'm fine.

See you tomorrow, Gerry.

Hope so, guv.

What was that all about?

Are you going to bed?

Well, aren't you?

Good night. Iris, love.

Good night to you!

Hold it. Shut up.

I've got it.

This is it.

(CHURCH BELLS)

RADIO: Put the documents in the case and wait for the van

and you, Dick, give me a report on the street.

Anything that moves, let me know.

Don't let those documents out of your sight, Jim.

Now, Dick, what about the street? Any problems?

No, the newspaper's still out there. Newspaper? What newspaper?

The newspaper at the pub, nobody's picked it up. It's still there.

And the milk's there, too. Well, where's that bloody landlord, then?

Watch what you're doing with that case.

RADIO: Jim, Jim. Heard no word from the landlord.

The newspapers are still outside the pub. Jim! Jim!

Yes, Jim here. We're out of the bank and ready to go.

Now listen, the landlord is unreliable.

He may be about to shop us. I want him found and silenced.

Send two men over the roof and you go through the bar.

Get that landlord fast! Got it.

Georgie? Yeah.

Get up on the roof. You and Dick come down through the window.

I'm going up through the hatch.

We'll meet up in the bar. Right.

Georgie? Yeah?

Don't move till you see the van. Right.

Dick, I'm sending a man up to you.

Get into that pub and find that landlord!

What was that about newspapers on the roof? I didn't catch it.

It's not what they say, sir, it's the frequency.

Once we get locked into that... (PHONE RINGS)

Hello? Arthur? No, I was just calling you.

That's definite, is it?

Have we got him?

We have, sir.

(KETTLE WHISTLING)

(KNOCK FROM CELLAR)

(PHONE RINGS)

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello, Inspector Regan, please. Hello?

Put your clothes on.

Hello, Regan? Oh, it's you.

When are they coming up?

The situation here, Regan, is that I've decided to charge the landlord.

It's too risky to let him go, you understand?

You don't have to worry about him. I wasn't worrying about him.

You'll also be glad to know that we've located Control

and in fact I am leaving now to supervise that end of the operation.

It's imperative we pick him up as soon as possible.

When are they coming out?

According to our latest information, five past eight.

Well, that's in 10 minutes. Precisely.

Iris and me are coming out now. No, don't do that.

You'll be spotted by their man on the roof.

He still up there, you know. Why don't you bloody well nick him, then?

Because I don't want a vulgar battle going all over Woolston Gardens

with people shooting at each other and consequent loss of life.

Worse still, I don't want chummy bolting back into the bank.

Well, it will take a week to winkle him out

with consequent loss of face.

Well, what ARE you gonna do?

The moment they leave we'll move in.

Once we're in the bank chummy's line of retreat is cut off.

He'll have no option but to use his getaway car,

which means going down Ledbury Street.

Now that's all open ground.

We have our sharpshooters in place.

That's a terrific idea, superintendent.

What about us?

Lie low. Try the cellars.

Now you listen to me.

There's somebody already in those cellars.

That would tie in with Sergeant Jellineck's theory. Which is what?

That they're not coming over the roof,

they're coming through the cellars. Look, you're monitoring the radio.

Are they coming over the roof or are they coming through the cellars?!

Oh, yes, I see what you mean, Regan.

If you go into the cellar and they come out that way,

the game is blown. That's not all that'll be blown.

Iris, come on. Out. Now.

RADIO: Jim, don't go up to that bar until the van arrives.

Now, hello three. Three.

Where are you now?

Just turned into Woolston Gardens.

What ARE you doing?

I am trying to get this barrel onto this trapdoor.

There's no answer to that. Exactly.

Don't just stand there, give me a hand.

When you get it open what you gonna tell the neighbours?

That it fell off the back of a lorry?

Give me a hand, for God sake! They're coming up this way!

Oh, I thought they were coming through my room.

No, they're not.

Why don't you get dressed, Iris?

What do you want me to do?

Push or get dressed?

Get dressed.

All right.

What do you think I should wear?

Something inexpensive cos of the bullet holes

or something dark so it doesn't show the blood?

That's not funny. You're getting hysterical.

I am not getting hysterical, I am terrified.

Passing the bank. Get there.

Right.

Quiet!

Forget about getting dressed. I don't want you out of my sight, all right?

Excuse me, which is the best place to hide?

Jack!

Ohh. Get down!

What is going on?

That's their truck outside.

They're coming out of the bank through the cellars, under here.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Shut up.

(ENGINE RUNNING)

That's the van outside now.

Get ready to open the street trapdoor. I'm going upstairs.

They'll bring the stuff straight up into the street with any luck.

Like they bring the beer into the pub? Yeah.

They didn't do all this without the knowledge of the landlord

and he isn't here any more.

So when's that going to penetrate their thick skulls?

You haven't brought the milk in, have you? No.

Or the newspapers?

No.

This leads up to the bar

but the thing won't open.

Go on, get in the van. Right.

Right, now!

Jack!

Jack, up there!

Argh!

(PHONE RINGS)

Inspector Regan, please. Yeah?

Message from the super, sir.

Wants to warn you there are two armed men coming over the roof.

Jack...

There's blood!

Oh, my God.

Sorry.

I'm giving you permission to see the inspector now

provided you don't disturb him, right?

Right.

Apart from the inspector's unfortunate accident

the operation was a success?

Oh, total success. Yes.

We're going through stolen valuables now

and informing the owners one by one.

Were they after one particular thing?

No comment.

Thank you, nurse. Thank you.

Good morning, Jack. How are you? Morning, sir.

I'm sitting here on the side of the bed, right?

You can get a two shot, can't you? In the foreground?

We'd like to see the wound, sir. Where exactly was he wounded?

Yes, where is your wound, Jack? You're sitting on it.

Oh, well, you can always widen your angle, hm?

Oh, it's a leg wound, is it? Yes, it's a leg wound.

Can we have something more dramatic like, you know,

a bandage round the head or arm in plaster? Why not?

Surprised you're not at the Palace collecting another medal.

Very funny, Jack. You'll be pleased to know we got 'em all

from the big fella himself right down the line. The lot.

Excuse me if he could...er... just hold this.

Thank you.

So what were they after? I mean, what did you find on 'em

after you so courageously surrounded them with half the men

three streets away from the scene of the crime?

Jewels, krugerrands

and certain documents of a highly political nature.

We're charging Iris Long, of course.

Conspiracy.

Oh, no way!

That girl saved my life.

Well, we'll ask the judge to take that into consideration.

Well, here's something you should take into consideration.

I might marry her. In prison, at the beginning of the trial.

That'd really keep you off the front pages, wouldn't it?

Yeah, we could hold hands across the witness box,

kiss through the bars of the Black Maria.

Yeah, I reckon we could hold the headlines for a whole month.

You'd be nowhere.

You're not serious?

Well, in that case you'll be all right, won't you?

Of course I could speak to the DOPP's office.

See if they could...erm... drop the charges against her?

Oh, yes! You could, couldn't you?

I can't promise anything. Oh, no, of course you can't.

I'll do my best.

Oh, you will.

I know you will.

Excuse me, superintendent.

Yes, if you could make that look together,

It's an old comrades' take. This is for the badge of courage.

Yes, why not? Thank you.

It was obviously very dangerous.

When did you know how dangerous it was going to be? I had my suspicions.
