Thank you very much.

Ugh!

Go! Go!

Let's see what we've got. Boom!

Police! Freeze!

Freeze! Don't shoot! Against the wall!

Freeze!

Oh!

Harry.

Excuse me, where's room 218?

Thanks a lot.

Ah!

Got you where I want you, at last.

I've got bruises, Dempsey, not brain damage.

Thank you. Do you like them?

They're different.

Yeah? They're plastic.

Right.

Well, I belong to the pro-flower movement,

and we believe that flowers have a right to live like everybody else.

How you doing? Fine. Did you get him?

Oh, yeah. Only, his room is not as nice as yours.

You know, I was worried about you, partner. I thought you were a goner.

I misjudged it, I didn't move fast enough.

That's true.

You don't have to agree, Dempsey.

I don't want to hit you while you are down. But you're going to.

If you were a man, we would have nailed him.

You wouldn't be laying here feeding on grapes.

Do you know, it has been known for men to make mistakes too.

If I was with a man, he wouldn't have been dressed as a meter maid.

Your dress was too tight, you couldn't move

and the jacket got in the way...

And women aren't cut out for this kind of work?

Yeah, and women aren't cut out for this kind of work. That's right.

And any man is?

We got a damn sight better chance, sweetheart.

Evolution. Six million years of it.

OK, you know what you can do with these?

Why, Lady Makepeace, I am shocked.

Put them back where you found them on your way out.

You know, if that pipe had been a couple of feet higher,

you wouldn't be pointing that aristocratic nose up at anybody.

Think about that, Sergeant.

Hello? Yes, thank you, Wilkins. He'll be right down.

The car's here. Oh, that's the only trouble with Wilkins.

He's too damn punctual.

Hey, what have you got there? Hmm? Guess!

Is it? From my lawyers.

"Pleased to inform you that your divorce becomes absolute

"within three months."

Oh, honey. What great news.

Mm! Marty...

Marty! You'll keep the Prime Minister waiting.

Do you know what? I love you.

And I'm gonna marry you.

I'll be back from Zurich on Friday. Don't you make any plans.

Morning, Wilkins. Morning, sir.

Downing Street, then on to the airport, please.

Right you are, sir. Thank you.

What are you doing here?

Well, I figured since you were sick...

I wasn't sick, I was injured.

Yeah, you know what I mean.

I figured I could give you a ride home.

I'm not going home. Wherever.

You getting in, or not?

Thank you, I will.

And how are you feeling? The doctor said, "Fit for duty."

What does he know?!

Wilkins, just pull over here a minute, will you?

After the airport,

would you take some flowers back to where you picked me up?

I'd be glad to, sir.

Morning.

Ah, these look nice.

I'll have about five bunches of tulips and the same of this.

I'm sorry, I can't change that. I'm afraid it's all I have.

The bank's over there, they'll change it.

Right! Open up, or she dies!

I said open it!

Come on, move! Move!

Right, back up! Back up! Come on! You, over there! Come on, move!

No tricks! Down!

Right, you, empty the drawers. Down!

The quicker you do it, the quicker we're gone.

This is 503. Get me the police.

Now, you'll be a nice lad, won't you! Eh?!

Come on, move! No bells, no buzzers.

Come on, move!

'Control to Charlie-five.

'Control to Charlie-five.

'Vanguard Bank, King's Cross. Robbery in progress. Priority.'

That's us. Next right. We don't have to take that.

What? Well, you are hardly back on duty.

It's your first day out of the hospital.

What are you, Joan Of Arc? Charlie-five, on the way. Out.

What's up with her?

Please, my mother, she needs her medicine.

Keep still!

Won't be long, Ma. We'll soon be on our way.

How much did you pay for this?

It was a present. Yank, eh?

Well, it's a present to me now, Rockefeller.

Redistribution of wealth.

Long live the revolution, eh?

Stay in the car.

What do you mean, stay in the car?!

You just got out of the hospital, stay in the car. Like hell I will.

Morning, sir. Is there any sign of movement?

No activity at all. They're still in there? Still in there, sir.

Now, keep your heads down, right!

Right, ready? Let's go.

Oh, fuzz! All over the place!

Keep your heads down! Keep your heads down!

This is unbelievable.

Riot trucks, marksmen... the whole works.

There's some kids in there.

And these guys are preparing for World War III.

Pretty soon, there'll be satellite link-ups

and they'll sign us up for the movie rights.

Oh, why don't we storm in there, Dempsey,

break in the window and wipe them out?

That's not a bad idea. Thought you might say that.

Only, I've got a better one. Cover me.

Dempsey, I'm not going to your funeral. On principle!

I'm unarmed.

Shut up! Shut up!

I'm unarmed!

Let's talk, OK? One minute.

Don't do nothing. Don't do nothing.

Easy. I'm unarmed. I'm unarmed.

Easy.

Now, look, we could have a problem here,

but if we talk, maybe we can avoid it,

you know what I mean?

Now, these guys out here, they're not too bright.

You know what I mean? They're a little fast on the trigger.

We've got hostages.

Don't say that, You haven't got hostages yet, man.

You've got innocent bystanders, I did not hear "hostages", OK?

Well, what you got to say, then?

They've got men trained for this sort of thing.

They got smoke bombs, they got stun grenades,

they got machine guns, they got horrors you can't even imagine...

What they don't have, is much to do...

..so they get an opportunity like this...

Do you catch my drift?

Now, maybe we could cool it before it gets too heavy, eh?

So... No!

I almost had him! I almost had him!

Dempsey!

I see you have everything under control here!

Cut it out!

What's going on? Why don't you ask them? They know everything.

Inside that bank, is one James Martin.

President of the International Finance Federation? Mm-hm.

So what? Who's he?

He's what he sounds like. Big.

Which is why I'm here.

You with this lot? Inside.

Excuse me a moment. May I help you?

Chief Superintendent Spikings.

By the powers invested in me,

I am commandeering these premises for police activity. Oh, are you?

You run this place? Yes.

Switch that noise off! Switch it off.

And get your friend away from the window. Get her out.

Anything else?

You know, you'd make a much better impression

if you said please.

Do it.

I'm very sorry... Not really...

..I'm going to have to ask you to leave. I'm very sorry.

I can't go out looking...

Come back tomorrow and I will fix it for you. Free of charge.

I'm awfully sorry.

Get me the telephone number of the bank, Chas.

Telephone directory? Do you have one?

Do we know how many are in there?

Two, or maybe three. Mm-hm.

So, what are the orders, sir? Yeah, what do you want us to do?

Standard policy in a kidnap or hijack situation is no surrender.

Equally, the lives of the hostages are a primary concern.

You just cancelled yourself out. Not quite.

I'm relying on the ingenuity and initiative of my operatives

to devise a way in which we can have our cake and eat it.

And when I say "my operatives," that means you.

Both of you.

So, why don't you go away and think about it?

You heard the man. Think of something.

Is there any cameras out there?

Planning to wave to your mum on the evening news, are you?

It's all right.

This is Chief Superintendent Spikings.

Who am I talking to?

That doesn't matter.

We got guns, we got hostages

and none of us has got anything to lose, all right?

'What do you want?'

I want a coach to an airport

and a plane to take us out the country.

'The hostages get released when and where we land.'

Finished? 'For now.'

Right. Take down this number.

5-4-0... 1-4-9-2.

Did you hear what I said?

'You've got two hours.'

My name is Spikings. I'll be in touch.

What did he say? We get out of here, right?

If we don't, we start popping heads.

This staircase... Yes.

..once you're inside, we're down there, through this corridor...

That's correct. Arrive at this door... Yes.

Once we're in there, we're clear? Yes, that's the door.

Thanks a lot. OK, thank you.

Found access on the roof.

Watson and I figure we'll go in, try and surprise them. Yep.

Watson? Yep?

Can be done, sir.

Urgent call, sir. Minister Of State, Home Office.

That's all I need.

What's Watson doing here, sir?

Dempsey asked for him. Why?

What's going on here, Dempsey? You say something, Sergeant?

I said, what's going on?

Watson and I are going in. Why Watson?

Because this is up his alley, that's why.

What do you take me for, Dempsey?

Somebody who's fresh out of the hospital, that's who.

If you need back up, I go with you. No way, no arguing.

May I remind you, Minister,

that in these situations,

standard policy is one of no surrender?

Yes, sir, I DO know who Martin is.

Yes, sir, I know he's inside.

Yes, I understand, sir.

Your words are very clear and precise.

You letting 'em go? That's what they want.

If he rings again, tell him I've gone to lunch.

Sir?

Love this thing. It's medieval.

So? We on?

Go.

Sir, I request permission... Denied!

You stay on the ground with me.

So, you're trying to keep me out of the firing line, too?

When we go in through the front, Sergeant,

I think there'll be enough shooting to keep you occupied.

I bet you've seem this sort of money lots of times, eh?

Is it worth all this?

Well, it beats being nobody.

Didn't look this high from the street. Never does.

It's just that I've got this thing about heights, you know?

It's not my favourite thing.

Bad time to tell me.

Don't worry about it, it won't be a problem.

It's just, I had this jumper once, you know, in New York... Yeah?

..he was just about to come down, and he slips.

20 storeys.

I'll never forget his little legs pumping away, you know,

like he was trying to run back up to the top.

Well, that's gravity for you, huh? Real mess.

You, er, want to go first?

Yeah, sure.

Time to take our positions.

We're inside. Moving down to the first floor now.

'Read you.'

Dempsey? Come in.

'Dempsey!'

Get up there.

'This is Dempsey.' Yeah?

'Watson's been hit. I'll lower him down the side.'

Right. We'll organise an ambulance.

They tried to take us. What you done?

I topped one. God, you had to do that?

They're treating us like filth, man.

There's no coach, they're laughing at us.

We're just scum. That's all, scum!

Yes?

Now you know we ain't messing around in here.

Now I know.

So, no more SAS stuff!

'Right.'

Is he dead?

No.

I'm all right. Come on.

Right.

'Now, listen, get that coach here.'

Fast!

Look, it's coming, Leavey. Right? It's coming.

We are nowhere, until we start popping heads.

I don't know how much further I can push this.

So, what went wrong?

Well, I'd say that Watson looked the wrong way at the wrong time.

Other than that, gotta use more men.

I'm not saying a word.

Wait here and switch off your engine.

My orders were to take it up to the bank, sir.

Direct from Home Office.

Name? Sergeant Dove, sir.

Well, Dove, your instructions are to wait here

and to switch off your engine. Yes, sir.

Street. Bank.

And what's this? That's an underground river.

It's incorporated into the drainage system.

Comes out in the manhole in the basement of the bank.

How many men do you need? Two people.

Think you can handle it?

Of course. OK.

You and Makepeace.

It's your ball game.

Time's up.

You, up.

Open the doors.

Now, hold up, Leavey, I make the decisions here.

You made the decisions, now I'm in charge.

Open the doors.

Nice and easy. Hold it there.

Slowly.

Keep going.

Keep going.

It had to be done, right?

Now they know they're dealing with somebody.

You will have 15 minutes to get those animals...

..dead or alive.

I don't care.

How do you know so much about underground rivers?

Oh, I was really good at geology.

Now, how are you with zoology?

Why do you ask? Well...

Well, I used to dissect birds when I was 13.

Oh, I just hope we don't run into anything bigger.

Yes, Minister.

Yes, I understand you perfectly, sir. Yes, sir.

Yes, I have tried to locate him.

Yes, sir. You...

No, I haven't seen him in some time, sir.

Yes, sir. Yes, I will as soon he returns, sir.

It's all clear.

Oh... Oh, please help!

It's been too long. Please!

This the last time I'm going to say this. You, kid, shut up.

You, cut it out.

Cut it out! Cut it out!

It's her heart.

Can't you see she's seriously ill? Seriously?

You'll be seriously dead, Rockefeller.

This is the last time I'm going to say this. You three, shut up!

Mum! Mum!

Three. Count of three.

Take the two this side, then take the one at the wall.

Ready?

Police! Freeze! No! Don't shoot!

Drop that now! Kick it away!

I'll kill her! I'll kill her!

One second after she's dead, you're dead.

Back off! Back off!

Look, if this woman doesn't get to a hospital, she'll die. Mum!

Let her go! Back off, or she dies anyway.

OK, take this. Cover these two.

What are you doing? Back off!

Let her go.

Are you crazy?

Makepeace, what the hell are you doing?

Look, take me instead. Let her go.

Look, she needs a doctor, so just let me take her place.

Makepeace! Think about it.

I've got friends out there, they're not going to take any risks with me.

OK? Make sense? Yes?

OK, come on, hand her over. Come on. Come on.

No, you come here. OK. And the girl.

No, the kid stays here.

Mum! No, it's all right. It's all right.

No!

Well, get her out of here. Quickly! Makepeace!

Come on, get up. Get up.

Open the door! Open the door!

Now!

Don't shoot!

I'm coming out with a hostage now. Just keep it cool.

What's happening? Makepeace swapped herself for the woman.

So now we've got someone inside and we've got the sick woman out?

It was a stupid thing to do.

She did it to prove a point. Because of you.

You, Rockefeller, stand up.

Sit down.

Stand up.

Sit down. Stand up.

What does it feel like being a nobody?

I thought so. You got more money here than there is in a bank.

Don't move, Maxine.

Mr Martin... the police know you're in here.

I'll only start to worry if they find out I am here.

They won't.

They will if they take a good look inside my wallet.

Yes?

Are you in to the Home Office, sir?

I'm checking the roof.

He's out of contact at the moment.

Yes. Yes, I'll tell him, sir. Yes, sir.

He said to ring... I know what he said.

You've got to let 'em out of there.

If I do, we'll be faced with a...

a tidal wave of hostage situations.

Every small-time terrorist in the world

will think we're a soft touch.

And if you don't, they'll kill her.

It's all gone wrong, Ramsay.

You said it was easy. You said it was gonna be easy.

Dead easy. You said it was easy. Leavey. Shut up! Leavey!

Your turn, copper.

Come on, Leavey.

Leavey!

All right.

All right, easy.

All right, you got your bus. You got your bus.

Where's that bus?! Get it up here! Now!

All right, you got your bus.

See what you can do when you show you ain't going to be messed about?!

Get 'em up!

Right! Come on! Move! Move! Let's go, let's go!

Come on, to the door, to the door!

Right, give me the money. Give me the money!

Right, come on, move it! Move it!

Let's go! Come on! Come on!

Get tight together.

Tight together. Move! Move! Move!

Come on, keep moving.

Tight together, tight together.

Come on! Come on! Move!

Come on, move!

You, in there. Come on. Over there.

Down! Down! You sit there.

It's a bit of luck, you being in that bank this morning.

I beg leave to differ with you. For us, I mean.

You're our insurance now.

No-one's gonna try anything while you're in the firing line, are they?

Any gung-ho stuff, Spikings, and your VIP here is dead.

You're clear. Straight through to the airfield.

Now, the bus will take this route, guv, to the airfield.

We can get ahead of them by cutting through here.

Let's go. Where's Dempsey? Car's still here, guv.

What's the hell's he up to?

Shut up!

Shut up!

I'm frightened.

Stop that bawling! Keep it quiet down there, Leavey.

Kid's getting on my nerves!

How much further, Ramsay?

It's about 20 minutes.

Well, where are we gonna go? Spain.

There ain't no extradition with Spain.

No. My Auntie Doris has been to Spain once.

She didn't like the food.

Your Auntie Doris never had plenty of this wrapped round her.

Ain't that right, Leavey?! Too bloody right.

There they are.

What's he up to?

Listen to me, you really haven't thought this one through.

What the hell do you think's gonna happen when you get to the airport?

They'll never let you get away with it.

You, just keep it shut, right?!

What's that? What's happening?

There's somebody on the roof.

Oh, hell!

Get on the floor!

Keep calm!

Ramsay!

It's all right. It's all right.

Don't you think this is ever so slightly childish, Dempsey?

My mother always wanted me to be a doctor.

Yes, well, I have left strict instructions

for you not to be allowed in here.

I know, look what I had to go through to get in here.

Well, it's absolutely pathetic. Now, will you please go?!

Come on, take it easy. What are you so excited about?

Because I tend to have a relapse every time you visit me in hospital.

Oh, come on! Get serious.

I just wanted come by and see how you are feeling.

Well, I'm fine. Now, will you please go?!

All right, all right. I'm gone.

Oh, yeah. I forgot. This is for you.

It's real!
