You're going to Brighton tomorrow, Joe?

No, I'm taking the weekend off,

going to a wedding

Whose wedding?

My daughter, the oldest one.

Your daughter old enough to get married?

Well, I’m going on to fifty, you know.

You'll have a busy day tomorrow then.

Oh no, the wife’s got all that fixed,

All I gotta do is get dressed up.

Best of luck!

You are... pretty loaded, aren't you, Joe?

Hmm, not bad.

What happens if we have got to make a run for it?

What about your leg?

No, we ain't running for it, I got it all worked out.

Well, I hope you are right.

You know you want to watch yourself out there, Joe.

You know what happened to Sid Collins last week, don't you?

No, what?

Somebody turned him over, got away with his bag.

How much in it?

About seven hundred.

Well, they won't get away with mine.

Well, they might chop your arm off.

Then, I will become a one arm bandit, won't I?

Ah, well I will see you on Wednesday, Joe.

- Yeah. - Good night.

You know, I'm beginning to wish I hadn't got mixed up in this with you.

How can I drive a car with my leg in plaster?

Huh! It's the fun times.

He's coming.

Come on!

It's tied with a chain to him.

- Well, break it! - I can't break it.

He must have a key on him.

Look out! Someone's coming, let's go!

No! You want me to leave this stuff behind?

He has got a key on him somewhere.

We'll get him in the car, find the key, open the bag and then we'll dump him.

- Come on. - But make it quick.

Good night.

Your lights, don't forget your lights.

- Which way now? - Just keep on moving.

He's got an awful piece of handcuff on his wrist.

He must have the key here, somewhere.

Is he still out?

No, we're playing cards.

Look, Tony, I... I'm gonna have to stop for these lights down there.

Someone's gonna see him.

He must have the key somewhere!

There's some keys here on the ignition ring.

Let's have them.

Don't be a fool, you stopped the engine!

- Come on, Tony. - Yeah, yeah.

Come on. The lights are green, Tony.

Come on, give them to me. Come on!

Take off the ignition and give me the rest back, will you?

Come on, come on!

Oh, no!

- What's the matter? - I dropped it between the seats.

Take it easy, don't you panic.

- That's charming. - Huh?

- I just jumped a red. - Doesn't matter.

Look Tony, I gotta get off this main track, there's too many lights.

Someone's gonna see us.

Well, turn off for the first side road, then.

I never knew I've looked at so many keys on this key ring, and not one of them fits.

- Is he all right? - Yeah, he's breathing, he's all right.

I know what he's done.

It's a self-locking bag. He's got the key at home.

Can't you split it open or something?

Nah, it's a bank bag. I'll never get through it.

We've gotta break the chain somehow.

Look I... I've got a chisel at home.

It'll only take a couple of minutes to get there.

Yeah, all right.

What's that?

What have you done to him, what are you doing Tony?

Nothing.

Can't have him coming round, can we?

All right Frank, you go and get your chisel,

now don't forget something to hit it with.

Not a good that chain done you, mate. Chained yourself to your money.

- What are you doing there? - I'm looking for something.

Yeah, I've been looking for something too.

The pound I left on the mantelpiece.

Look, what you doing on my toes?

Pound I left on the mantelpiece.

You took it when I was out shopping, didn't you?

Shut up and get inside!

I'm speaking to you.

Yeah, what is it?

That pound. You've been at the dogs, haven't you?

All right, what if I have?

Now, look, leave me alone and go to bed, will you?

I've gotta find these tools.

Tools? Why do you want tools at this time at night for?

I don't. Tony wants them.

Tony want tools half past the midnight. What for?

I... I don't know. It's a car break down.

Whose car?

It's a friends of Tony's.

What are you two up to?

Look, I'll tell you when I get back.

I said what are you up to?

And I said I'll tell you when I get back!

Well, don't expect to find me here.

Hello? What's that supposed to mean?

What sort of a life do you think I have?

I am out working all day while you are out running around

often not with that lazy good for nothing.

Look, dry up and go to bed!

Yeah, what's the matter with you?

Yeah, what's up? What's the matter with you?

- Where are you going? - I just wanna get away from here.

What the hell for?

Never mind, you wanted these tools.

Well I can't... I can't do anything while the car is moving, now, can I?

See, I want you to stop at the next quiet alley.

Sit back and do something and relax and let me get on with it.

- Is this all right here? - Yeah, it's fine.

Come on, Frank, boy, in 5 minutes we'll both be rich.

Nah! It's no good, this place is like a padded cell.

Oh! What's wrong now?

I could have found somewhere hard to put the chain on so I can break it.

- Oh! use the floor! - Nah! It's no good.

There might be something amongst the tools.

Yeah. Hey, look here. There's a building site over there.

See if we can find a stone, but not a brick, because they crumble, all right?

I'll see what I can find.

Are you the owner of this car?

I beg your pardon, sir.

I said are you the owner of this car?

Yeah.

Well, can't you read? It says no parking.

How do you expect me to get my car out?

I am absolutely sick to death of this, doing that day after day.

Will you please move it?

Oh, I'm very sorry about this, sir, but I'm not the driver of the car.

But, where is the driver?

Oh, he's over there, he ain't be gone a minute.

But I haven't got a minute, I'm late already.

If he has left the keys in, then I'll move it myself.

Well, look, sir, it's only gonna be a second.

Well, will you move it?

I can't do that, sir, I broke my leg, it's in plaster.

Very good, let the brake off and we'll push it.

Look, it's a very heavy car, sir.

Look, are you going to move this car or should I fetch a policeman?

Year, all right then.

I'll do it.

There's no need to get like it about it, sir.

Such a mistake anybody can make.

Would you help us push it, then?

What's the matter?

Are you the driver of this car?

Yeah.

Well, move it from in front of my garage!

Frank, I want you to move the car from the gentleman's garage, we're on his way.

Would you?

I'm... uh... very sorry about this, sir, but... you know it could happen.

- What the hell did you…? - All right, what the hell...?

What was he doing standing out there? What was he pushing the car for?

In one minute's time he would've been in here and seen him!

- Now where's the... where's the stone. - It's down there.

A brick, I told you, I said to you a brick is no good.

- It crumbles! - I couldn't find anything else, Tony.

It's no good, it'll break.

We'll just have to get him on the pavement and break it open there.

The pavement? You must be mad!

Wouldn't you think of something then?

Well can't, can't you cut the bag or something?

Oh, yeah, yeah, with a chisel?

No, no. I mean with a razor.

I keep razors with me all the time for such things.

No, I mean we'll go back to your place and pick one up.

My place? You can't go back to my place. What about my mother?

- You can't keep anything away from her. - Oh, no?

No, look, we'll go back to your place,

we'll get a knife and we'll cut the bag open there

and everything will be over with.

Yeah, and what am I supposed to do with Jean?

The trouble with you, Frank, is you don't know how to handle women.

And you do, I suppose.

Now look, we don't want this bloke coming round, do we? And seeing us.

No need to be alarmed if he didn't come round.

Well, then just hurry up and get on with it.

We'll get a knife and get it over with.

Come on!

What's happened?

Oh, hello, Jean.

Uh... no, no, no, it's all right...

He's a friend of ours, he had an accident.

He's blood all over his face.

I know, he's... he's a had an accident. He's... all right, though.

Whose car is this?

- It's his car. - Well, who is he?

Dear...

Hey, what are you doing out here?

I came to see what was up, there's been a fight, isn't there?

Yes, yes! There's been a fight, but he's all right.

He looks awful! You have to go to a hospital!

Yes, that's where we are taking him. We're taking him to hospital now.

What's you doing in the kitchen? What were you looking for?

I asked him to go and get some bandages

Now look, darling you know it's getting a bit chilly in here,

you really oughta go back to bed.

- Yeah, come on Jean, back to bed. - No!

Frank, we are wasting a lot of time here.

Well, he's not going with you!

Jean, this bloke is in a bad way.

Yeah, but, I don't think you are taking him to hospital.

Of course we are taking him to hospital.

That's why I want Frank to drive us there.

Frank's not driving you anywhere, he's coming indoors with me.

Look Jean, like Tony says, he's in a bad way.

Well, go and get a doctor or an ambulance or something.

No it ain't like that, you see.

No, I know it ain't like that, that's why he's not going with you.

Frank, please, don't get mixed up in this.

You coming with me now or that door will be closed on you for good!

Come on, let's get going.

How's he doing?

He's doing all right, come on.

Come on, let's get going.

Oh! What have you done to him? He's covered in blood!

He looks bad that's all.

- Where's the bag? - It's on the front seat, come on.

Look, we gotta do something for him, Tony. He's in a bad way.

Nah, he's all right, come on.

Yeah, and supposing he dies, you know what happens then?

I'm gonna do with you then.

Let's get him into your place and stop the bleeding.

Oh, no! No, he's not coming into my place.

Well, what do you wanna do then?

Look, we'll take him into you place and then stop the bleeding, all right?

Right, but make it quick.

We got him on the bed. I put the fire on to keep him warm.

Where do you keep the lint and stuff?

It's up there.

What do you think we ought to use iodine, disinfectant or what?

I don't know.

You had some cotton wool up here, where is it?

It got used, there's a clean cloth there.

Look, Jean I'm... I'm sorry about all this.

But there was nothing else we could do, was there?

You can keep away from them dog chaps for a start, and him.

I told you, I'll pay you that pound back.

It's just the pound I'm worried about?

It's always the same, week after week.

I just don't understand you.

You've got a good job, why do you want to hang around with that liar about for?

I knew you'd get into trouble. I knew it would end like this.

But we're not in trouble.

Who done him up, then?

Nobody done him up. It was a little fight. It's like Tony says.

It's always like Tony says. Why didn't you marry him instead of me?

Look, lay off, will you Jeanie? He's all right!

Here's your water.

And you can get him out of there as quick as you can.

And take Tony with you. I don't want him in this house again!

Where's he scarpered to?

I don't know he's probably gone outside to the car. He'll be back.

And it would be just like him to leave us lumbered with this bloke.

- Is he alright? - Yeah, of course, he's alright.

Give it to me.

Do the blokes down the dog track know you're scared of blood?

Oh, we can't do nothing for him. He'll have to have a doctor.

No, we don't want no doctors.

- Why not? - It's none of your business.

Are you gonna leave him like this?

Well, look... look, what about Charlie?

Who is Charlie?

Oh, he's an old bloke, he lives upstairs.

He used to be a male nurse in an hospital.

He looked after me when my leg was bad.

Is he safe?

What do you mean?

You know, I mean is he hard up like?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, then you better go and get him in.

Would you like to go and get him, Jean?

All right, I'll see if he's in.

Look, I'll hide the car, get the bag and put it in your area behind the dustbins.

- What for? - Someone might pitch it.

And what about him?

As soon as this quack friend of yours gets him sorted out,

we'll put him in the car, take the car off and then we'll dump him somewhere,

get back here, by that time, Jean will be asleep and then we'll open the bag.

How long do you think it'll be before they miss him?

Well, he lives in Brighton.

It takes a little time to get back there,

then he probably stops in the way for a drink.

Oh, there's plenty of time.

Hear, we'll have to be driving that car. It's probably up by now.

There are hundreds of cars in London every night of the week.

Yeah, I know, but I happen to be driving that one and I don't like it!

Hush, she is coming back.

He's not in his room. He can't be home yet.

Well, I'll tell you what we'll do then, Jean.

I've got a friend of mine who is a doctor. He'll look after him.

No, no, he'll be all right.

Look, why can't we take him to hospital?

No. Give us a hand, will you?

What's there on his wrist?

Well, what does it look like?

It's the half of a police handcuff, the other half was on the copper.

You never told me nothing about this.

You told me it was an accident.

You never said you were mixed up with the police.

Look, I wasn't mixed up with the police, honest, I wasn't, Jean.

We found him on the street

and then he told us that these three coppers have done him over,

and then he passed, spoke out like that.

- Is it true? - Yeah, well, of course it is.

Well, then whose car is that?

I told you it's his car, he told us where it was before he passed out,

and then he, then Frank went back and got it, and I stayed with him.

Now, come on, give us a hand, will you?

All right, where is he?

Where is what?

Where is the doctor that you said, we were gonna take him to?

What doctor?

The doctor you told Jean about.

Oh, I had to tell her something, didn't I?

What are we gonna do with him, then?

I'll tell you what we gonna do with him.

He's bad, ain't he?

Well we can't take a chance he might...

See, there's a hospital around the corner where they done my leg.

We'll... we'll drop him there.

We can't take him there, they'll recognize you.

Nah! We ain't going in.

There's a side street. We'll dump him there.

Someone will pick him up. It's all right.

- Hey, what's happened? - It's a flat.

Well, that's that then, come on, let's get out of here.

And what about him?

- Ah, someone will find him. - But we said we were gonna...

What difference does it make, whether we dump him against a wall

or we leave him here?

But we said we were gonna take him to hospital.

Look, mate, we would've done if he'd looked after his tires a bit better.

I don't know about you, but I'm gonna change that wheel.

Can I help?

- Ah, no, no, no, I can manage, thanks. - Yeah, it's alright, thanks.

I saw you get the flat when I was parked down the road.

Cor! Went off like a gun, didn't it?

Yeah, there's no need to bother, because we...

Ah, there's not bother, sir. I think it's got a built-in hydraulic jack, hasn't it?

Handle's under the seat, I think. Let's get it out, shall we?

Just a minute, mind you. It's not good, it's clapped-out.

Ah, let me look it for you.

Ah, nah, there's no need for that.

My friend works in a garage, he can look after.

You see, we are in a bit of a rush really.

Ah, we'll soon get you on the way, sir.

You've got the spare out then.

It'll need a little bit of an air in it, won't it?

Yeah.

Well, not to worry. I'll go and get my jack.

It's very kind of you.

All right, Tony, that's it, I'm scarpering.

Now listen, you ain't scarpering anywhere.

You can't run with this leg.

What else can we do? Suppose that he looks in the car.

- Well, it didn't take longer, did it, sir? - No, no, it didn't.

Now, which of you two, gentlemen, is the owner of the car?

I am.

I take you are a member of the AA, sir. (AA=Automobile Association)

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Can I have your membership number, sir?

Uh... No, I just can't seem to remember at the moment.

Oh, haven't you got your membership card with you?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Where did I put it?

Must have left it at home, you know how it is.

I'll take it you are a member sir.

Oh, yeah, yeah, I've got my badge on the front there.

I guess there are a lot of people with that badge that aren't members, you know.

Really?

Oh, yes, they buy the car with a badge already on it, you see.

A lot of crooked people, I'll bet on that.

Could I have your name, sir? Just for the record, you know.

Baker.

- And the initials? - J.

And the address.

128...

Sanderson Street.

Fulham.

All right sir, thank you very much.

Glad to have been of service.

Oh, thank you very much.

Let's scarper.

- Do you think he sussed anything? - What?

Do you think the AA man suspected anything about the card?

Nah!

How many people do you think carry their cards around with them?

Look, the hospital is on that side of the road.

And what happens if no one finds him?

Ah, someone will find him.

A copper will pick him up.

Always coppers, talking to the nurses, bringing the patients tea.

Ah, the trouble would be if anyone spots us.

And there will be a big scream go up when they find him looking like he is.

What are we gonna to do with this motor when we have dumped him?

You ain't very bright, are you?

The motor stays with him.

You'll see that it's an ill accident.

So he gets out of his car and then he collapses against the wall.

Look, there's the hospital there.

Hey, look at this.

He's gonna be drunk and all.

There you are, fatboy.

Draw a few pictures on the pavement, put a hat in front of it

and make yourself a bomb!

Yeah, all right, come on, let's head back.

Nah, nah, nah, nah! A few finishing touches yet.

- Yeah, you'd better get his hat. - What for?

Make it look a bit better.

Here.

Switching, ain't it?

- I'd better switch his engine off. - No!

Do you think he'd be able to cut the motor off in this condition?

It couldn't look right.

Go!

So what happened with this fella tonight?

Which one do you mean?

The one you was talking about.

- Oh, the one with a motorbike? - Yeah.

Oh, he wanted me to go to The Pally. (Pally=Hammersmith Palais de Dance)

Why didn't you go?

I said I'd see you, didn't I?

Well, no, maybe you didn't.

Yes, I did.

You could've gone off with him.

- Two teas, please. - I didn't feel like it.

Have another coffee?

You want one?

No, no if you don't.

- No, I'm done. - Then I won't.

What are we gonna do tonight?

I don't know, to go to The Pally.

What time you think she'll be asleep?

She goes to her mum's early on the Sunday morning.

Give her 10 minutes. It'll probably be all right by then.

You know, I've had enough carping for all this next week.

Nah, take her to Brighton or somewhere else to cheer her up.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think I'll come along with you. We could... work over the Brighton track.

What do you mean?

Tony, what do you mean we could work over the Brighton track?

I'm not doing this again.

Nah, nah. I meant legal.

We've got money now, haven't we?

Haven't you ever heard "money makes money"?

What are we gonna do tonight?

Shall we go to the Pally?

Oh, I don't know.

How long do you think it'll be before they find him?

If you wanna know if they'll find him or not, they soon will.

Yeah, the nurses are probably tucking him up in bed right now.

You girls are having a night out, then?

No, we're sitting home and watching the telly.

What's with the foot?

I caught it in a mouse trap.

Take no notice of him, Jane.

What about that bloke?

Hmm, what about him?

The bloke who shouted at us for parking in front of his garage.

Well, we moved on, didn't we?

Yeah, but he could identify us to the police, couldn't he?

Listen to me.

Do you think the police will worry about a bookie?

They hate bookies, they're practically on our side.

Do you think he's gonna complain to them?

He won't know what's hit him.

He'll think it's a track gang or something and so will they.

There are not fingerprints. We wore gloves didn't we?

So what else can they do? They don't know.

Check over all the dog track gangs and what can they to do?

Find nothing at all.

What's the matter with you? What are you staring at?

You didn't put them on.

What are you talking about?

In the car you took your gloves off to light a cigarette,

just like you did. Just think.

Then you reached out and found that whisky bottle.

Your dabs will be all over that bottle.

No, no, no, I wore gloves when I was sprinkling from the bottle.

Oh, no, no, no, in the car, before that.

You took your gloves off to light a cigarette,

then you found a bottle of scotch in the dashboard.

They'll be all over that bottle.

We need to get that bottle back.

But he'll be up in hospital now. You said so yourself.

Look, we can't take that chance.

It's all right to you, they haven't got your prints

but they got mine down at the station. Now, come on.

I know what we have come here for in the first place.

Oh, look Norm. He got 5 million two hundred.

Who could be that one?

He's still there.

- It's weirdie. - Good luck for a change.

How hasn't anyone found him yet?

Calmy, give them a chance, he's only been there 10 minutes.

Yeah, but I don't like the look of him.

I've never liked the look of him. I'm gonna get someone.

What's the matter with him?

Uh, he's a friend of ours, he's all right.

What's he doing there. He had too much to drink?

Yes, yes, we went to this party, you see, and he... uh... flaked out in the car,

so we brought him out here for a bit of fresh air.

Who's driving this car?

He is.

- You got a license? - Ye... yeah.

Where was this party then?

At his factory, you know the crossroads where the gasworks is,

you know, where they make that detergent stuff.

You went to a party with him?

Yeah, it was a staff party.

Yeah, he's the governor.

- A nice bloke, ain't he? - Yeah, he's... he's all right.

Yeah, everybody was invited to go there.

You see, he was gonna give us a lift home

and then he wasn't feeling too well, too much drink and all the rest of it,

so then he asked my... my friend here to drive him home.

And we were driving him home and he... he flaked out.

- You remember that when he did? - Yeah.

And we got him out for a bit of fresh air.

Oh, well you'd better get him home.

Yeah, well, thanks, go on in.

Go on in, Mr Brat, you'll soon be home.

I... I wonder if you wouldn't mind opening the back door for us, will you?

That's very kind of you.

Come on, old man, come on. You'll soon be with Mrs Brat now.

Yeah, he's gonna get it when he gets back.

Come on in, come on in.

Do you see getting yourself like this?

There you are, there you are. Huh!

I think we'll get him home then.

Good night.

Well, he must've realized it couldn't have been that thick.

Nah, he believed every word I told him.

You see, that's what you gotta do.

Face up to them, be sure of yourself,

and you can get away with about anything.

They see this car, a man with his expensive suit,

so they think you're somebody very important, you'll go to a solicitor,

and... and they just don't want to know.

It's the way the law works.

Anyway, I don't do nothing unless is too of them.

We gotta do something, we can't leave him in the back much longer.

All right, so then we'll stop the car and we'll leave him here.

No, I mean we gotta take him to hospital or something.

He's been out a long time now.

Why! What difference does that make? Being unconscious means nothing?

I knew a bloke once who was unconscious for about 6 months

and when he came to he was perfectly all right.

Of course that's it! Why didn't we think about it?

Look, all we gotta do is to pull up at a call box

and put a call through for an ambulance.

We don't give our names; they don't know who we are.

That's what you think.

Do you know when you call an ambulance you get the police's as well?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, they tap all the phone calls and then

they send a wagon around before you got an answer.

- Oh, tell me if I'd have time. - Yeah.

I knew a bloke once who got nicked before he even got out of the box

and all he was doing was reporting a fire.

- What was that for? - He started it.

Nah, nah. Loose, what you all end up.

Well, of all the bookies you have to go and pick this one.

Well, we didn't, there's nothing we can do about it,

we're stuck with him, so shut up.

Well, I don't know about you,

but I'm not driving around in circles for the rest of the night.

All right then.

You know that hospital by the canal? You know it?

Yeah, yeah, I think so.

All right then, we're trying there.

- Is this it? - Yeah.

Better turn around the back where it's quiet. We'll drop him.

All right.

Oh, no! A cruiser!

Blimey!

But what happens now? We are running out of hospitals.

Drive around the block until he goes. Can't be there all night.

What's up now?

That's all we need, we are running out of petrol as well.

- Now that settles that. - Settles what?

This is where we get out and we walk.

Oh no! We said we were gonna take him to hospital.

Well, we would've done if he'd bought more petrol for himself.

It's no longer anything to do with us.

No, I think you'd better remember what you said.

What did I say?

If he croaks, we both get topped.

All right, then what am I supposed to do with him?

Well, obviously one of us has gotta go and get a can of petrol.

- I'll go. - Mind the cyclist! No, no, I'll go.

What about your leg?

- You have got to stay with the car. - Why?

You're the only one who has got a license.

Hey!

Hey, has a bloke been here tonight for... for a can of petrol?

I don't know, I'll ask my mate.

Ah, Jeff, anyone been out here tonight for a tin of petrol?

Yeah.

Uh... who was it?

Some woman. Her MG, ran out down the other end of the High St.

- Any young fellas? - Uh, not tonight.

Why? You got stuck?

Yeah, yeah, he went to get some, my mate.

Is... is this the only place open?

Yeah, you won't find anywhere else open for miles, not this time of night.

Would you want some? I'll see if I got a can.

Yeah, you sure there's nowhere else open?

I told you, we're the only place open around here at this time of night.

He's probably gone home and left you in the car.

Oh, no, no, he wouldn't do that.

Ah, what do you want? A couple of gallons?

Yeah, yeah, it'd be fine.

Tony!

That was a fuss, man, you turned off the ignition or something, didn't you?

You was gonna leave me sitting there with that diesel,

while you'll be back here for the bag.

Are you nuts?

Frank, you ended it over and I'll do to you what I've done to that bookie.

What are you talking about?

The bag behind that dustbin, you got it before me. Now, didn't you?

Frank!

So that's how it is.

All right now, what have you done with it?

Frank, get him out of here.

Look, where is it?

Now, knock it off, Tony, I'll sort this out.

All right, but you sort it out quick.

Because half of what's in that bag belongs to me.

Half of what? What's in that bag?

Shut up! Get inside.

What's in that bag?

- What do you think is in it? - I wasn't asking you.

It ain't yours, is it? It belongs to that fella.

What have you done with him?

He's in the car, out the back.

What! You brought him back here?

And what else am I supposed to do with him?

What about this doctor?

There was no doctor, was there?

Look, what do you want?

Money? There's enough in that bag to split three ways.

Look, if you don't get out of here I'm gonna call the police.

Oh, no, because Frank is in this as much as me

and you remember, Jean, that that bloke's blood is on your bed now.

What'd you gonna go and do a thing like that for?

I warned you enough time to be mixed with him would get you into trouble.

And you go out and hit some bloke to get some money off him.

There were no ladies with hand bags. We had to pick up a full grown man.

Look, Jeanie, he's only a bookie.

They're all crooked, this sort of things happens all the time.

Yeah, but you don't have to get mixed up in it.

Yeah, well, you see.

What's the matter with you? Half the money is his.

Well, he's not touching it, nobody's touching that money.

And when I get you out of here I'm gonna sink it in the canal.

Now, look here, you ain't moving!

Jean, you've got to help us.

Now that fellow out there, he's hurt bad.

We didn't mean to.

It wasn't gonna be like that but, anyway, he's hit in the crown, see Jean?

Yeah, and if he dies we get topped.

Look, I'm gonna get an ambulance.

Oh, no, if the ambulance comes, the police come as well.

You've got yourself into a fine mess, haven't you?

Look, where's Charlie?

He got back a couple of minutes ago.

Well, look, would you go and get him, please?

And bring him down and we'll see if he can patch him up

and then we can get him home.

If we get him home and he's alright, then he won't go to the police.

These sort of fellas don't go to the police, do they?

Nah, they don't.

Watch the table.

Oh, what's happened?

Ask them.

How have you been, Charlie?

No, hold on in there, granddad.

We gotta make quite sure that we got the money to pay your fee.

Haven't we, Jean?

What do you mean? What does he mean?

Nah! You don't want that bloke to croak off in your bed now, do you?

Do you want me to have a look at that bloke or not?

It's all right, it's all right grandpa. You'll get paid.

Won't he, Jean?

You take your eyes off this, grandpa,

You go and fix him up, you stop the bleeding

and there's a tenner in it for you.

Give me the knife.

Here, what's this?

What does it look like?

I don't want no part of this, I don't want to get mixed up with the police.

It's all right, Charlie. It's not a police handcuff, he put it on himself.

Yeah, he wears it for luck.

I'd like to know what you two blokes are up to?

Where did you get him?

We won him as a bet in a fun fair.

Oh, you'd better look after.

No, wait here, granddad.

There's 20 quid in it for you.

What do you want me to do?

Oh, look, just do what you can, Charlie.

And then they're gonna take him home.

Thanks, Jean. Get me a kettle of hot water.

I'd better go and chat her up.

- Look, love. - Don't come near me.

I just wanted to thank you anyway for getting Charlie to fix him up.

- Is that what Tony told you to say? - No, he didn't.

You know, you got it all wrong about Tony, he's...

he's quite a decent fellow really.

We've been mates for a long time now.

Don't you know that's supposed to stop when you get married.

I mean. I don't mind you keeping on your old friends.

But surely I come first.

I mean you're never home; you are always with him.

Look, doesn't it mean anything to you being married?

Well, doesn't it?

Well, of course it does, but... oh, what's the use?

How is he?

I have stopped the external bleeding, but... I think he is bleeding internally.

- How do you know? - Well, I can't be sure.

I would need a stethoscope

and I've an old one upstairs, can I go and get it?

Can he go and get it, Tony?

Yeah, of course he can.

Look here, you'll be back when you profess to get your fee.

I tell you what I'll do. I'll give it to you in guineas.

It might make it a little bit more professional.

Here, Frank.

He had 900 quid on him.

Now, that's 20 for the doc, that leaves 440 each.

Now, don't you spend yours all at once then.

He ain't spending a penny of it.

Now, Frank, don't you touch that money.

Well now, that's up to him. I'm certainly having mine

and on this lot you can do what you like with it.

Yeah, do you mind if I use your kitchen to clean up in a bit.

That's a lot of money, Jean.

Yeah, and look what you had to do to get it.

Yeah.

And I did it for you.

You didn't do it for me.

You've got a good job and I go out to work, we could manage.

You did it because you do every mortal thing that Tony says.

No!

No, I didn't.

I did it because I thought it'd make things better here.

You could've given up work, and

we could've got out of this stinking basement.

Look, Frank, suppose things were a bit different,

would you stay at home more?

If we got out of this place, I... I don't wanna see Tony again.

- Do you mean that? - Yeah.

Frank, will you promise me something?

You know I will.

Well, try to hit him. Hit him!

Tony, he's passed out.

He came round, he was sitting up.

He is breathing blood. I think his lungs are punctured.

Somebody must have kicked him.

Can't you do anything for him, Charlie?

You don't understand, this man is nearly dead

Dead!

Look Tony, we've got to get him to a hospital quick.

Now, this is what we'll do.

We'll take him right in this time,

not messing about, we'll take him right in and we will bluff it.

We'll take him into the casualty.

Not where the lights are, just where the porter is.

While the porter goes to get someone, we... we'll scarper.

Then we'll leave the car outside.

They won't suspect anything. They'll think that we just found him

and we didn't wanna get tied up with it

so we... we just drove in there and then we'll scarper.

This is gonna be all right, don't worry.

Of course, after that we'll have to lay low a bit,

not spend any of the money.

I was gonna buy new suits, but it doesn't really matter.

I can... I can wait for that.

Of course, when it's all over, I think me and Jean will probably move.

She wants to move, you know.

Yeah, we'll find somewhere nice.

Once we'll settle in there, she'll soon forget all about this.

- Yeah, turn off here. - What?

Hey, wait a minute, where are we?

End of the ride.

What do you mean?

This is the dog track. This ain't the hospital.

That's right.

Now listen, Tony, you said that we were gonna take him to an hospital,

and we are.

No.

No. Now we ain't.

He's dead.

He can't be.

What? What happened?

- What did you do to him? - Nothing.

He was dead when we left the house.

Oh, no!

No! We've really had it now.

I should've never listened to you!

I should've listened to Jean, you did this to me!

Frank!

We did this together!

They won't get us. They won't even know where to look for us.

We're back at the dog track, right?

Now, you work it up for yourself.

They'll think it was a... a dog track gang that done him.

He'd probably had it coming to him, anyway.

Now, what's the matter with you?

He was only an old man.

It doesn't matter what he was, you killed him!

Shut up!

We both done him.

Oh, no, not me. I didn't touch him!

It doesn't matter!

Look here, Frank, now let's not lose our heads over this.

There's only one way to get out of it, now you stay here,

and I'll dump him.

And, then, we'll get out in the car.

Okay, start up.

Hey, start it up. Come on.

Now, see here.

Push.

Push in the startup.

Move.

Now turn back.

Use a bit of power and get on the kerb, and then stop to going up again.

Harder, go. That's it, yeah.

- Sir? - Fill it up.

- Regular? - Yeah.

This is what we're gonna do.

We're gonna blow town, flog this in Birmingham.

I know a bloke up there, who'll give us five hundred nicker for it.

I'm not, I'm going back to Jean, she'll be worried.

Look, we gotta stay together in this.

When they get him tomorrow, the rocket goes up.

But you said they'll think it's a race gang,

you said they weren't worried about bookies.

That's when we better them around.

When the law gets a dead body, they never let it alone, like maggots.

Only maggots don't wanna know where it come from.

The law does.

Well, I never killed him, it was you that kicked him.

I can just see you if the law gets ya.

You'd squeal everything about me within five minutes.

- Oil and water all right, sir? - Yeah. How much is that?

One eighteen eight.

- Here, keep the change. - Thanks you, sir.

- Come on, let's get going. - I said I'm not...

Get going.

Well, this is it Tony, this is where we split up.

Ain't we...?

I agreed to pull the job with you and... drive the car for you,

and that's the most they can cop me with.

You think you can just walk away from a thing like this?

- You did it, mate not me. - Did I?

What about when you backed the car over the kerb

of the street by the greyhound track?

What kerb?

Yeah, what kerb, Frank? There ain't no kerb there.

You backed over something else.

You... you mean... you mean you made me back over that man?

Yeah, that's right

But why Tony? He was dead already.

Because he wasn't dead!

That's why I dragged him out.

You killed him, Frank. You killed him. You ran over him

You mean... you... why, Tony?

What did you wanna do a thing like that for?

What I would want to do a thing...? Mind your driving,

there's an idiot in that lane, now turn the next one on the right,

we'll be on the North Circular.

What for? To protect you.

Don't you remember he saw you? He saw you and Jean.

He got up and he looked at you, pal, he never saw me; he saw you.

What can I do now? I can't go home. Where can I go?

Look, the A1 is up there and there's a straight road to the North,

and it's the only way out of this.

Don't make me do it, Tony, please.

What's the matter? Money?

Look, I got your share with me. I took it off the table.

Look it.

Look what you can do with all this.

Now, mind your driving, not too fast.

Mind this roundabout. Take it easy.

Make it around it, then you can put your foot down when we stand on the A1.

You're making good time boy.

When you reach Hatfield, you turn off there.

- Probably they're after us by now. - Huh?

They'll always, they'll be always after us.

Nah.

What's that behind us?

Uh... any truck.

With the lights that low in the ground,

it's a car and it's been there for some time now.

Oh, it's a car. It's one of them little sport chops there.

He's trying to pick up the courage to overtake you, boy.

Talking about cars this one's probably up by now, it's that just...

No, look, no one's missed him yet.

And what about that policeman?

Well, what about him then?

The one outside the hospital. He probably got our number.

No, he never. I looked back, he took nothing down.

Why the hell doesn't he overtake us?

Because you're going too fast. He doesn't have to, does he?

Tony, I'm telling you that's a police car. It's got a wireless aerial.

So, a lot of cars have got wireless aerials.

We got a wireless aerial here. Look, listen to this.

Look, I... I'm gonna slow down and let him pass.

All right, then slow down but take it easy. You're going mad.

If that is a police car, we are really in trouble.

It is not a police car.

Look, I... I'm gonna give him a run for his money.

I can get a ton out of this machine.

Nope, don't go too mad now.

He's still with us Tony, he's still following us!

Well, don't look at the mirror, watch your road!

Leave that mirror alone, I can't drive without it!

He's there Tony, he's in the back seat.

He's sitting staring at me, Tony, he's still there!

What are you talking about?

He's there, he's sitting there. He's in the back seat, Tony.

Staring at me!

Mind the road! Mind, you are going off the road!

He's in the back seat!

Large car, over the viaduct, new road, section B.

Repeat. Send ambulance urgent. Out.

Oh! We'd better be quick, Bert, there's petrol everywhere.

Oh! This chap's had it.

I'll go and look for the driver.

He's still alive, get on here quickly.

This is gonna go up any minute.

Go on easy with him.

Wait a minute.

Gently.

Gently.

All right.

Take it nice and slow.

Here we are, sonny.

- There's no drink on him. - I wonder what happened then.

Could've been that the steering jammed.

Look, you'd better get that body out of the car in case it goes up.

Tony... Tony...

We're mates.

You're gonna be all right, son. We'll soon get you in the hospital.

Hey, Bert!

Look at this lot.

Where is the other man?

What other man, son?

The man in... the back seat.
