Thank you.

Silence in court!

John Arkwright, you have been justly convicted of fraud.

Countless innocent people have been swindled out of their life savings by

your plausible tongue.

Therefore, I have no hesitation in sending you to prison for seven years.

Judge has granted your request to see your husband, Mrs. Arkwright.

Just a couple of minutes.

John, are you all right?

It's my heart.

Can I have a glass of water, please?

I'll get it.

John, you look awful.

I'll be all right.

Don't worry.

Do you hear the verdict?

Yes.

Darling, it's not forever.

Don't be a fool.

Do you think I'm going to rot here for seven years?

like you said.

I'll explain later.

You know where to take it.

Yes.

There you are, Arkwright.

Thank you.

Time to go, Arkwright.

No playing around by the way. No.

Whatever happens, I'll be back.

So remember that during the lonely evenings ahead.

Mr. Chandler's office. That's right.

My name is Mrs. Arkwright.

I believe he's expecting me. Oh, of course. Just a moment, please.

Come in.

Mr. Chandler, Mrs. Arkwright is here to see you.

Oh, sure then, will you?

Mrs. Arkwright.

Come in, Mrs. Arkwright.

How do you do?

How do you do?

This is my associate, Stephen Farrow. How do you do?

May I say how sorry I was to read of your husband's little bit of trouble?

He had very bad luck.

You know, seven years can be a pretty stiff sentence if you're not used to it.

Mr Chandler, I believe my husband had some sort of arrangement with you.

Arrangement?

Oh, yes, in a way, you might call it that.

He asked me to give you this.

500? Yes.

Check it, Steve.

Can't you believe me?

Oh, yes, of course.

Just making sure. You know, it's a wicked world, Mrs. Arkwright.

He also said there was another thousand when the job was done.

Mm-hmm.

That's a lot of money, Mr. Chandler. What exactly are you going to do for it?

Your husband hasn't told you?

No, but I can guess.

Let's keep it that way, shall we?

While you're only guessing, you can't get hurt.

That's all there, just as our client says. Excellent.

Oh, there's just one more thing, Mrs. Arkwright. Did you bring the photograph

of your husband?

Yes. Will this do? I'm afraid it's the only one I have.

This is fine.

Well, is that all?

For the time being.

If we want any more help, Steve will contact you.

Well, whatever you do, do it quickly.

I'm not used to waiting around for anyone.

Even a husband.

We'll try not to keep you waiting too long, Mrs. Arkwright.

Goodbye.

Goodbye. I'll see you out, Mrs. Arkwright.

Well, I hope you find us satisfactory, Mrs. Arkwright. I'm sure I will.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Attractive woman, Mrs. Arkwright.

I don't know.

All the same, you bachelors.

Look, never mix business with pleasure.

You know, you ought to get married.

Big advantage in our profession gives a man roots. No, I'm not cut out for it.

I've always been a bit of a lone wolf.

Wolf is right.

Let's see.

Arkwright's in Brentville, isn't he? Yes.

Now, what about... What about Charlie Reed again?

No, no. We had him last time. He needs a rest.

We've got to have someone we haven't used recently.

Ah, here we are.

George Munro. That's our man.

All right, if you say so.

I don't know anything about him, though. No, you wouldn't. The last job he did

for me was over three years ago. He knows Brentville?

He wouldn't be on the list if he didn't.

Now, look, Steve, don't worry so.

I've always found George completely reliable and trustworthy.

We went to the same school.

Approved school?

Sounds like the ideal man for the job.

Very interesting, Mr. Munro. In future, however, I'd rather you confined your

humorous activities to outside office hours.

Town Planning, Kempkin here.

Mr. Munro, a private call for you.

You are, I hope, aware of the department's views on private phone

calls, Mr. Munro?

Oh, yes, Mr. Kempkin.

Monroe here.

Frank Chandler here.

Yes? Frank Chandler of the County Rambling Association.

I just phoned to tell you we'll be organizing a delightful ramble for our

members in the next week or so.

It should be very stimulating and profitable.

I hope you're interested.

I might be.

Let's meet then. Say, 10.30 tomorrow at my office?

We can discuss details.

It might be a little difficult, but I'll see what I can do.

Excellent.

Goodbye, Mr. Monroe.

Goodbye.

Mr. Campkin.

Yes, what is it?

I haven't had my annual leave yet this year. I was wondering if it'd be

possible to take a couple of weeks off.

Yes, that'll be all right.

After all, you're entitled to it.

Thank you.

Oh, by the way, I was wondering if it'd be all right to start tomorrow.

This is a bit sudden.

Well, it's a family affair. I just found out about it.

That's what that phone call was about.

Nothing serious, I trust?

No, no, I think it'll work out. But it is rather important that I be there.

In that case, there's no need to waste your annual leave. We'll put it down as

sick leave. I'll see to it.

Thank you.

Before you go, I'd like you to finish your work on the new Sycamore Street

drainage scheme. It's urgent. But that doesn't mean I want you to skimp the

details. That's your worst fault, Mr. Munro. Sloppy details.

If you only knew how much depends in our work on getting the details exactly

right. Now that goes for planning of any sort.

You've often heard me say it. Attention to detail determines the success of any

scheme. Big or small.

Hi, darling. Hi.

How'd it go today?

Oh, same as usual.

You still haven't fixed that washer on the kitchen tap, you know. I keep

forgetting. I'll do it tonight.

Had TV sister today?

Might have known it.

How is Kitty?

Oh, she's fine.

Jack's just bought a new television set. 21-inch screen.

Good for Jack.

George? Hmm?

Do you think it's about time we had a television set?

I can't afford one right now.

Anyway, you know I don't like TV.

Well, there's no need to be so smug about it. I'm not being smug. I'm just

stating a simple fact.

We haven't got the money to lay out for a television right now.

No, we never will have, will we?

Oh, you're too easygoing, you know. That's your trouble.

Why can't you be a bit more like Jack, hmm?

He doesn't sit around twiddling his thumbs all day, you know. He's out

making money, doing jobs on the side.

My blasted brother-in-law, please.

He's got golden fingers. Everything he touches turns to money.

I'm not that fortunate.

You ought to be used to that by now.

Oh, why can't you take a job in the evenings or something, or a hobby?

Anything that'll bring in a little extra money. How about a hobby?

Model airplanes.

Not a fat lot of money you make out of that. You give them all away.

You're not supposed to make money out of a hobby. That's why I don't sell them.

Yeah, Jack would.

Oh, yeah, you can bet Jack would.

Listen, every time we have a row about money, we always... No, we're not having

a row, Dad. Why do you always bring Jack into it? Jack this, Jack that.

Maybe you should have married him instead of me.

Don't you think I didn't have the chance?

One of you had a narrow escape.

What do you mean?

Kitty's always complaining about her husband being shifty and unreliable.

Maybe she doesn't appreciate him, that's all.

Maybe you don't appreciate me.

That's a silly thing to say.

I'm always telling Mother what a wonderful husband you are.

And what does Mum say?

Oh, Mama says that I should have married someone who's got a little bit more

ambition. Ah, figures.

She knows where to put the knife. Right between the shoulder blades, huh? Ah,

no, George, that's not fair. Now, leave Mother out of this. Well, let's leave

everything out of it, huh? This doesn't do us any good. We only get ourselves

worked up, and there's still no more money in the bank when we're finished.

So let's drop it. I'm tired.

By the way, there was an old pair of trousers in a jacket of mine. Are they

still around?

Yes, in the wardrobe.

They've fallen to pieces. You haven't worn them for about three years.

One of the fellows at the office is having a jumble sale for some charity or

other. I thought it'd help him out.

Oh, there you go again.

Give, give, give.

Why can't you do a little bit of taking?

Give my food, woman.

Mr. Chandler. George.

Dead on time, as usual.

It's been a long time, George.

Oh, you two don't know each other.

Steve Farrell, George Munro. How do you do?

Come in.

Well, let's have a look at you.

You haven't changed much.

Putting on a bit of weight, perhaps, eh?

Well, just a few years, that's all. Oh, don't.

Don't remind me.

How's Rose?

She's all right.

Let's see, George.

How long is it you've been married now?

Five years.

Five already, eh?

How the years go by.

And everything's changing, you know?

It's not the same as it was when you first came over.

The days of the knife and the gun are finished.

They certainly are.

Nowadays, if you want to be a success, you've got to have brains and education.

That's why I've got Steve.

He's got a real education. He's been to university, haven't you, Steve?

Yes. Oxford, as a matter of fact.

What's he doing in a setup like this, then?

That's very simple, really.

I wanted to make a lot of money quickly.

Nowadays, this is the only way a bright young man can do it.

Yeah.

Talking of money, Frank.

Yeah. We've got a job for you, George.

Interested?

If the price is right.

Well, it's always a tight budget.

Crime doesn't pay, you know.

So?

200 plus 50 expenses.

300 plus expenses.

No, it's impossible.

250 plus expenses.

Give me a ring sometime, eh, Frank? All right.

All right, 300 plus.

Let's have a drink on it, shall we?

Steve, will you get him? This is our client.

He's in Brentville jail and he doesn't like it.

I read about this fellow.

He looks harmless enough.

You want me to get him out, huh?

Out and away.

Away? If I'd known that, I'd have asked for more money.

I want the whole thing finished in two weeks.

That fits in with my plans.

Good. Is there anything you want right now?

Yeah. An insurance card and a driving license. Have them made out to George...

Matthews. I'll get on to that right away.

Anything else?

No, not just now. I'll contact you if anything.

Oh, Steve will be your contact.

Any ideas how you're going to get him out?

No. I'll have to think about it.

We'll drive down to the police tomorrow, Ed.

Like to get the feel of things again.

It's that grocery supply service we checked up on.

3.20, roughly on time.

Morgan supplies.

I think we better check a little more on that.

Open the gates, Fred.

Have you seen enough?

Enough for now.

Got an idea?

A glimmer.

Here you are, George.

Hey.

Sorry, darling, I didn't hear you come in.

That's obvious.

Here's your chocolate. Drink it while it's hot.

Thanks.

George?

What's the matter?

Well,

nothing. Nothing. I was just thinking of a way to make some money.

Right, I asked for that one.

No,

seriously.

Seriously. Supposing I was to make some of these. We could sell them at

Christmas time, huh? You wouldn't sell those. You'd give them all away. You

always do.

Anyway, I've... I've thought of another way to make some money.

Well, then what's that, my financial wizard?

Never you mind.

It might not work out anyway.

Oh, what is it?

It's something I brought up.

Actual old clothes.

Thank you, White.

You got everything? Yeah.

Bye, darling. Bye-bye, darling.

Bye-bye.

Anybody

here?

Hey. Looking for somebody?

Yeah, the boss. Is he around?

Oh, Mr. Morgan!

Mr. Morgan!

Should be around.

You looking for a job?

Yeah, that's right.

Say, uh, all your trucks like that?

Yeah, they're all the same.

Mr. Morgan!

What is it?

What's going on, eh?

Glad to see you. What a job.

Sort of a job.

Driver, you've got your ear close to the ground.

I've only just heard myself that my best driver's had an accident. He'll be off

for a few weeks.

Bad news travels fast, eh? Where's your license?

Clean hands for a driver.

I always wear these.

George Matthews, eh?

All right, Matthews. You realize it's only temporary.

Suits me.

Congratulations. Thanks.

You're supposed to be working. for me? Yeah, I just came up with it.

I've got three vans. We deliver fruit and vegetables. I'll show you the

schedule in the office. You've got the insurance card?

Red tape. I'm strangled by it.

A dog is a man's best friend.

My little friend is just one foot tall. But I love that doggy the most of all.

Left it this morning from Ramo.

It's right in front of you.

I'm so sorry. I'm afraid that seat's taken.

Oh, here he is.

Hello.

How are things?

They're moving.

When wild in woods, the noble something ran.

Dryden. Six letters.

Try Savage.

Morgan's using a driver named a Joe Woolard for the prison run.

I'd like him to have an accident like the other one. Nothing fatal.

Just enough to keep him out of work for a couple of weeks. Yeah, I'll fix that.

You'll see he doesn't suffer financially.

Yes, he'll be all right. Anything else?

I'd like a man inside as a contact.

Well, that's not so easy.

It's important.

Can you think of anyone?

Yes.

Yes, O'Quinn, I expect. He'd do it for 50 quid. Sure? Quite sure. O'Quinn would

get a devil's island for that.

Here you are, O'Quinn.

And no trouble from you tonight.

Understand?

Who ever heard of an Irishman causing trouble?

Enough to make you laugh, ain't it? Thirty-five thousand, could you see him

play like... Oh, they're right there. Watch it, mate.

Oh, Quinn is the name.

Never you mind about that. Real cost money. You watch it, mate.

Mealy mouth.

Yellow-bellied rogues. All of you.

Watch it, chum. Hey, don't you think so, young sir?

Think what?

That all Englishmen... or mealy-mouthed yellow-bellied rogues. Well, you may be

right, of course.

I come from Hampstead myself.

What about a drink?

No, I'll not drink with the likes of you.

My round, of course.

Oh, well.

No, I'll not be bribed. You can't bribe an Irishman.

Just as you please.

Another whisky, please, Joe.

Right, sir.

Let's have another pint, Charlie, would you?

No,

no, I don't think so. No, Lambert was left back.

Lambert was left back that day.

And, uh... What was it, Lambert? Lambert left back?

Only was on the right, if I remember correctly. First pair of backs ever, eh?

Hey, Sergio, where's that whiskey I ordered? I've just brought it down,

there. What?

Who's pitched me beer?

You'd steal a man's drink, would you?

What do you want to do about it, eh?

Too easy to talk. Two Englishmen to beat one real Irishman. I told you before, O

'Quinn. Now get out or I'll call a copper. I'll fight any man here.

Constable well, it's his lordship the devil himself.

I might have guessed it as your queen.

Come on. Ah, yes, sir. I'll go quietly Oh

Quinn

got a month I say yes a smooth piece of work Brentville

everything's going fine.

Now. This is going to be a really beautiful job you watch

Here you are.

Oh, I'm getting a few books for the lads in our block.

Are there any crime novels now?

No, they're out. Ah, that's a pity.

Could you be showing me where the travel books are kept?

Yes, come on.

Travels over there.

Here you are, Cride.

Chandler sent me.

I got myself pulled in for a month. Don't worry, I'm getting paid.

How did you know you were going to be sent here?

I made pretty certain of it.

If you're doing a short sentence, they always send you here.

Same as first offenders.

I've made a study of it. What's happening?

Orders are.

You're to work in the kitchens with me.

When are they going to get me out of here? Don't worry. You're in good hands.

Hey, what are you two playing at down here?

Ah, tis all right, Your Honor. Sure, I'm only getting out a few old books here.

Then be quick about it. Aye, right, right.

What's this?

The Escaping Club.

Thinking of leaving us as soon, O'Quinn? And sure, why should I believe in this

darling place, Your Honor? Sure, tis better than home. Ah, get along with

you. And remember, no digging.

It's against the regulations.

I'd like permission to see the governor, sir. What about?

I'd like to change my job.

Okay, put in a request.

Escaping glove.

Hey, Willard.

You'd better sign these invoices.

Right, thanks.

Come on, mate, snap it up. I've got to make the prison run after this.

Hey, get a doctor!

Quick! There's been an accident!

Sam, what do you got under there? A woman?

How did it go?

So-so.

There's no hot rod, I'll tell you.

Need servicing, George.

I'll give it a complete overhaul in the next few days. No hurry.

Hey, George.

How about going to a game on Saturday?

Which one?

Arsenal-West Ham?

No, couldn't stand it. Hate to see Arsenal lose.

They won't. They won't. You want to bet?

I won't take your money, man.

What are you doing?

I, uh... I thought I heard a loose floorboard here.

Well, come on down a minute, will you?

Monday, you take over Woolard's run.

You mean at the gym? Yeah. Just that word, Joe's had an accident.

Two accidents in a couple of weeks. Can't understand it.

Serious? No.

A sack of flour fell on him, but he'll be off for a few weeks.

Well, you'll have to fill in for the time being. Sure.

You really must get another pair.

Hmm?

I said you really must get another pair.

What?

Socks. Socks, yeah.

George?

Hmm?

Are you listening to me? What are you doing?

Hmm? What am I doing? Oh, I'm just catching up on a little of my office

work, that's all.

You're too good-natured. That's your trouble. Jack would want overtime for

that. For what?

For working late at night.

Jack wouldn't sit here doing this, but... Oh, will you stop talking about

Jack? I'm sick to death of hearing about him.

I'm sorry, darling.

Hey, George, you know, I was thinking.

About that television set, we could get one on the higher purchase. No.

You know what I think about the never-never plan.

Listen, darling, everything we have in this house is paid for.

I know it's not much, but at least it's ours.

And if and when we get a television set, I want to have the money to pay for it

first.

Seems a pity, though.

Now look, if a television set means more to you than... No, no, no, you're right,

darling. No, well, we must save money.

But you're darling, you can't blame me. It wasn't my fault. I just had a drop

too much. It's only natural for an Irishman to get drunk once in a while.

You're always having a drop too much.

Who's going to look after myself and the boy while you're away?

No, darling, it won't be for long.

How is Timothy?

He keeps asking about you. So I said you're away on a job.

He starts his new school next Monday.

Monday, you say?

Oh, should he soon be as fine a scholar as his father?

Some prospect to be like his father.

Any other news?

No, nothing.

Except your sister Kathleen is coming to stay with us for a few days.

George is driving her over Monday afternoon.

Just in time for tea?

Just about.

She'll be grand company for you. Grand company.

Time's up, Aquila.

Goodbye, Nat.

Goodbye.

Chandler here.

Frank, your client knows about the deal.

Good girl.

That was Maureen. Oh, Quinn's been told.

That means Arkwright will be ready. Will you inform his wife?

Yes, it'll be a pleasure.

Are you sure that partition will be finished on time? Certain. We've been

over it a dozen times. Nothing can go wrong. I agree. It's a good plan, bold

but simple. Hey, aren't Steve was pretty doubtful about you at first.

You haven't lost a touch, George.

It's the work of a craftsman.

Okay, if you're satisfied, you're paying.

The important thing is we get the timing right. It's the small details that count

every time.

You'd be surprised what could go wrong. Oh, George, will you need this?

No, I never use it. What about that guard you were worrying about?

I'll take care of him my own way.

Whatever you say.

Okay, let's go over this timing again, huh? Yeah, it's important to get it

right now.

You're relying five minutes either way for accidents.

That's right.

About 3.25, I'll be outside.

When they open the gate, I'll show my pass to the guard and drive down here.

around here and park in front of the stores.

It'll take five, eight minutes to unload the truck.

Arc right, no Quinn will be here in the kitchen.

When the truck's unloaded, I'll drive around here and back in towards the

kitchen. Install the engine there.

I love this record.

Yes.

Very restful, Mrs. Arkwright.

Mrs. Arkwright. Oh, please call me Rita.

That's a nice name, Rita.

Do you know what you've got to do tomorrow?

Yes. Good.

Oh.

I'm afraid that's it, then. I'd better be going.

Another engagement?

Yes.

Bed. There's a spare bed here.

I'm sure there is, but I want to get some sleep.

Still, I wouldn't say no to one for the road.

That's a nice place.

He could afford it.

Things were pretty good while they lasted.

Until the police got on to him.

And now, well, now I suppose I'd better go back to dancing.

But you were a dancer.

For six years.

Until I got bored and wanted something better.

So I got married.

Do you have to wear those glasses?

Yes.

For everything except clothes work.

I thought you said you were tired.

I am.

Do you charge extra for this, Mr. Farrell?

No, it all comes free of charge. All part of the sale.

George? It's all right, darling. I'm here.

George.

You're worrying about something?

The office?

Don't worry darling, it'll be alright.

Sam?

Sam!

Morning, George.

Nice weekend?

Yeah, what's happened to my truck?

Happened? Yeah, what are you doing to it?

I told you your van needed servicing, and it does.

Why not?

Why not? Now's as good a time as any.

I checked the mileage, and it's way over.

How long will it take?

Oh, best part of the day, I suppose.

Best part of... What about me? I got a timetable to meet. Yeah, I know, I know.

You have to use the other van.

I don't want to use the other one. I want to use this one. I'm used to it.

But, George...

There's no difference between them.

If you can handle one, you can handle the other.

Well, is it all right? No, it's not all right. There's a toolbox fixed in the

back. So what? So what? My own, that's what.

But I'm sorry, it won't be ready.

Hey, George, what the devil is the matter with you, anyway?

All right, Sam, I'll take this one.

Okay.

Yes. Have you got any last-minute instructions?

No. Does Mrs. Arkwright know where to meet us? Yes.

Good. If everything goes well, she won't be feeling lonely much longer.

Don't worry about Rita.

Whatever happens, she'll be all right.

Steve, have you been playing around with her?

I tell you, she's a very attractive woman. And I told you not to mix

business with pleasure.

Keep away from her, Steve.

We've got enough on our plate as it is.

Look, Frank, what I do in my own time is my own affair.

Don't be a fool. I couldn't care less what you do.

As long as it doesn't interfere with my business.

But the moment it does, then I've got to do something about it.

Can I help it if she finds me irresistible? Be your age.

Do you want me to spell it out for you?

Look, we're not in this business for laughs or for thrills. We're in it for

money. Unfortunately, our clients can't sign contracts.

Arkwright owes us a thousand quid. Do you think he's going to feel like paying

you up when he finds you've been running around with his wife?

Who's going to tell him? Nobody.

But it's a risk.

We don't have to take.

It's getting late.

You better get down to the warehouse.

All right, Frank.

Steve.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Pull up over there.

You're a bit late.

Hell up at the garage, servicing.

Well, I'll stay around a minute, will you?

Haven't seen you before.

First trip.

You finished back there?

Yep, you're okay.

They're waiting for you at the storeroom.

Over there on the left. Thanks.

Now, wait a minute.

You're new here. I'll go with you.

It's against the law in this country, isn't it?

Now, hold it.

Holy kid. No, you're right.

Turn left here.

Now pull up here on the left.

What's the trouble?

The brakes snatched it a bit.

They were supposed to have serviced this this morning.

It's a spare one.

Not my usual truck.

I shouldn't go near them.

All right, smoke around here? Yes, if you want to.

Cigarette? No, not for me. Sure. Sure.

I haven't had one in 20 years.

Wish I could quit.

It's all right after the first few weeks.

Yeah.

He's here. Be ready.

Well, I think I've finished.

Okay guys.

You hot?

Why? I'm sweating.

Let this credit never go again.

Thanks for your help. Anytime.

See you next week.

Yeah.

Hey, stop!

The tail board's down. I'll fix it.

All right, that's fixed. You can move up.

Where's Arkwright?

Main gate, quick.

What's the matter? I just had a call. Got to stop everything going out.

Prisoner missing.

Well, if he's in there, they won't get far. We've got their number. Come on.

Where now?

You'll see. There's a change of clothes in the back for you. Get in.

Okay.

You're turning second on the right.

Good luck. Hey, thanks a lot.

Isn't that the red van?

Pull over, driver.

Did you see anyone getting away from here?

Yes, sir. They were in a maroon and grey saloon. Nearly knocked me down, but I

managed to get their number.

WWK 747.

Mr. Fann, all right. That's got a concealed compartment in the back.

Oh, fine.

Constable here managed to get the number of the car they transferred to. Well, we

can pick them up in no time, sir. No one have picked up.

Not just yet, anyway.

We'll radio a description and the number. Have the car followed. With any

luck, we may get the lot. Come on.

Carry on, Constable. All right.

I can't leave it much longer.

There's a mist coming up. That means trouble.

Be here any minute now, eh, Frank?

I'll give them another ten minutes. After that, I think it'll be too late.

You'd better keep a lookout, Phil. Oh, I'll come with you.

Phil's getting nervous.

I don't blame him.

What are you looking at?

I was just thinking.

What are you going to do after we get your husband away?

When all this business has died down, I'm supposed to join him.

Do you like the idea?

I don't really mind one way or the other. Why?

I don't think you know what you're letting yourself in for.

Do you realise what'll happen to your husband when we get him away to Arnott?

Well, don't forget he's on the run. He's got no friends or money over there.

He'll have difficulty in getting a job. He'll be living cooped up in cheap

lodging houses, only able to go out after dark.

He'll crack.

They'll pick him up inside a month. They always do.

What alternative do you suggest?

Stay here.

Who with?

Me.

You interested?

Very.

Better not be here when they come back.

I should go and wait in my car.

All right.

You can get out through there.

Here.

Where's Mrs. Arkwright? She's left.

What's the matter with him? It's the excitement. He's got a bad heart. He

needs a drink.

Get the plane ready, Phil. You'd better give him a hand, Fred.

How are you feeling?

I'll be all right.

Here, I'll support you together.

Now, do you think you can make the flight?

Where are you taking me?

A little field just outside Dublin.

Here's your passport. It's made out in a different name, just in case.

But where's Rita?

Oh, Mrs. Arkwright brought the money and then went home.

She didn't want to be away from the house too long in case the police got

suspicious. But she promised.

Just like her.

Any hitch?

No. Worked like a charm. Good.

What the hell's that?

Well, well, well.

It seems I wasn't expected.

Inspector Collins, CID.

What is it, Inspector? Have we done something wrong?

It's no good, gentlemen.

We've got you.

We found Mrs. Arkwright in the car outside, sir.

Rita?

Well, that would seem to wrap it up.

I don't like long explanations. I take it we'll be formally charged at the

station. You know the routine.

I must warn you all that anything you say may be taken down and used as

evidence.

How long do you think you'll get?

Why do you know?

Three years? Three years.

Well, they'll catch up on my reading.

Not a word about George.

We're going to need him.

Come on.

An overturned bucket.

That's something you can't foresee.

Hmm? Is that Danny?

Nothing. Nothing.

Sit down.

Hmm? Sit down.

Don't ask.

You've been gambling? Yeah.

Yeah, that's right.

George, I suppose you'd get lost.

Well, I'd have been in trouble then, wouldn't I?

Come on. It was you I did it for, darling. I thought you'd be pleased.

Darling, of course I'm pleased. But you mustn't do it again. You may not win

next time.

Maybe. Maybe not. I've got to get going. Otherwise camp can be lost. George, what

are we going to do with the money?

We'll think of something, won't we?

I'll tell you where to start. You get dressed up and I'll take you out for

dinner tonight.

Darling. You just want me for my money, aren't you?

Hi, George.

Good morning. Murray. Peter.

Good morning, Mr. Munro. Good morning, Mr. Kempkin.

How are the family?

Family? Oh, uh, fine. Fine, thanks.

Whilst you were away, I had a chance to look at your work on the new Sycamore

Street drainage scheme.

I'm still not satisfied with the details, Mr. Munro.

I'm afraid you'll have to go over it again.

Now, as I said before, meticulous attention to detail is the hallmark of

the good planner.

Oh, yes, Mr. Kempkin.

Always keep it bold but simple, Mr. Munro. And never forget the details.

Details.

Details.

Where have I heard that before?

Chandra's netbook gave us your address.
