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 time.

Therefore, I have no hesitation in sending you to prison for 7 years.

Judge is gone to your request to see your husband Mrs. Arkwright.

Just a couple of minutes.

John, you all right?

Yes, I'm alright, have a glass of water please?

I'll get it.

- John, you look awful. - I'll be all right.

- Don't worry, you hear the verdict? - Yes.

Darling, it's not forever.

Don't be a fool, you think I'm going to rust here for seven years?

- Get the money? - Yes, I did just like you said.

- Explain later, you know where to take it. - Yes.

- Here you are Arkwright. - Thank you.

Time to go Arkwright.

Oh, good John.

- Darling, no playing around while I'm away. - No.

- Whatever happens, I'll be back. - Yes.

Say, 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.

Of course, just a moment please.

Come in.

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

- Oh, show her in Lauren. - Mrs. Arkwright.

Come in Mrs. Arkwright.

- How you do? - How do you do?

- This is my associate, Steven Farrow. - How do you do?

May I say how sorry I was to read of your husband is had a 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.

- Five hundred? - 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.

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.

- It's all that, just as the dame 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.

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

I hope you'll 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.

I've never mixed 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 is 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.

Now, 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.

- In this Brentville? - Yes, wouldn't be on the list if he didn't.

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 prod you confine your humorous activities to outside office hours.

Town Planning, Campkin here.

Mr Munro, a private call for you.

You are I hope aware of the Department views on private phone calls Mr Munro.

Oh yes, Mr Campkin.

- Munro here.

- Frank Chandler here. - Yes?

Frank Chandler, of the Country 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 Munro. - Goodbye.

- Mr Campkin... - Yes, what is it?

I, I haven't had my annual leave yet this year.

I was wondering if it be possible to take a couple of weeks off.

Yes, that'll be all right, after all, you're entitled to it.

Thank you.

By the way, I was wondering if could be alright to start tomorrow.

Isn't it a bit sudden?

Look, 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.

I will put it on a sick leave, I'll see to it.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Before you go...

I'd like you to finish your work on the new Sycamore Street drainage scheme, it's urgent.

But that does mean I want you to skip the details.

And 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.

And that also in a planning of any sort. You've often heard me say it...

attention to detail determines the success of any scheme, big or small.

- George? - Yeah.

- Hi darling. - Hi.

- How it go today? - Oh Same as usual.

You still haven't fixed that washer and the kitchen tap, you know.

Oh, I keep forgetting, I'll do tonight.

I had, had tea with your sister today.

Might've known it.

How is Kitty?

Oh, she's fine Jack just bought a new television set.

- 21 inch screen. - Good for Jack.

George...

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

We can't afford one right now. Anyway, you know I don't like TV.

I wish you not being 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?

You're too easy going in, that's your own trouble.

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

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've got to be used to that by now.

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

- Could bring in a little extra money. - I got a hobby.

Model aeroplanes.

The little money you make out of that, I bet you give it away.

I'm not supposed to make money out of a hobby, that's why I don't sell them.

- Jack would. - Oh, yeah, you can bet Jack would.

Listen, every time we have a row about money we...

No, we're not having a row darling.

Why you always bring Jack at all? Jack this Jack that.

Maybe you should've married him instead of me.

No, don't you think I didn't have the chance?

Wonder if you had a narrow escape.

What do you mean?

Well, Kitty is always complaining about her husband being shifty and unreliable, eh?

You know, maybe she doesn't appreciate him, that's all.

Maybe you don't appreciate me.

It's a silly thing to say.

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

And what does mum said?

Oh, mum said I should've married someone who's got a little bit more ambition.

That figure.

She knows where to put the knife, right between the shoulder blades, eh?

No George, that's not fair, leave mother out of this.,

Let's leave everything out of it, eh?

This doesn't do us any good.

We only get ourselves worked up and 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 and a jacket of mine, ain't it?

Are they still around?

They're in the wardrobe...

they're falling to pieces, you haven't worn them for about 3 years.

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

Got to help him, eh?

Oh, there you go again, give, give, give...

Can't you do a little bit of taking?

Get my food woman.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Mr Chandler. - George.

You're on time as usual.

It's been a long time George. And, oh, you two don't know each other.

- Steve Farrow, George Munro. - How do you do?

Come in.

Oh, let's have a look at you. You ain't changed much.

Putting on a bit of weight perhaps, eh?

No, 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 that you've been married now?

- Five years. - Five already, eh? How the years go by.

And everything is changing you know, it's not the same as it was when you first came over.

Ah, the days of the knife and the gun are finished.

There certainly are.

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

That's why I got Steve.

He's got a real education, he's been to the University, ain't you Steve?

Yes, Oxford as a matter of fact.

What's he doing in a setup like this Frank?

I'd say it's simple, ain't it? 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 a job for you George.

You interested?

- If the price is right. - Well, it's always a tight budget.

- Crime doesn't pay, you know. - So?

200 plus 50 for 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 me, shall we?

- Steve, will you get them? - Yeah.

This is our client, he's in Brentville jail and he doesn't like it.

I read about this fella, he looks harmless enough.

- You want me to get him out, eh? - Out and away.

Away?

If I known that, I 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.

Now, I'll get onto that right away.

Anything else?

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

- Oh, Steve will be in contact. - Any ideas how you going to get him out?

No, I have to think about it.

We'll ride down the place tomorrow, I'd like to get the feel of things again.

It's that grocery supplies service we checked upon.

3:20, roughly on time.

Morgan Supplies, I think you better check a little more on it.

Open the gates Fred.

- You've seen enough? - Enough for now.

- Got an idea? - That delivery.

Hello George.

Hey.

- Sorry darling, I didn't hear you come in. - It's obvious.

- Enjoy your chocolate drink while it's hot. - Thanks.

George? What's the matter?

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

I asked for that one.

- Now seriously? - Seriously.

Suppose I was to make some of these, we can sell them at Christmas time, eh?

So those you'd give them away, always do.

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

- And what's that, my financial wizard? - Never you mind.

- It might not work out anyway. - But what is it?

Just something I thought up.

- That's your old clothes. - Thank you wife.

- Got everything? - Yeah.

- Bye darling. - Bye bye darling.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

- What sort of a job? - Driver.

You got your ear close to the ground.

I bet you heard myself, one of my best drivers 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. - He's supposed to be working for me.

Yeah, I just came up with it.

Now, I got three vans.

Left it this morning, a brown one.

It's right in front of you.

Thanks.

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

Oh, here it is now.

How are things?

They're moving.

When wild in woods, the noble something runs, Dryden, six letters.

Try savage.

Morgan is using a driver named 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.

That's not so easy.

- It's important, you think of anyone? - Yes.

Yes, O'Quinn. I expect him to do it for 50 quid.

- Sure? - Quite sure.

O'Quinn won't get the Devil's Island, eh?

Here you are O'Quinn and no trouble from you tonight, understand?

Who ever heard of an Irishman causing troubles?

To make you love it and the 35,000 could simply...

Hey, watch it mate.

- O'Quinn is the name. - Never you mind about that.

- Beer cost money, you watch it mate. - Mealy mouthed, yellow-belly rogues.

All of yours.

Watch it chum.

- Hey, don't you think so young sir? - Think what?

That all Englishmen are mealy mouthed yellow belly rogues.

Well, you're maybe right of course. I come from Hampstead myself.

- What about a drink? - No, I 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.

As you please. Another whiskey please Joe.

Right sir.

Please, another pint Charlie, will you?

No, no, I don't think so, no. Len was set back.

Then I think he'd turned on the right.

Len was left back at that time and...

Barnwell was on the right if I'm wrong correct me, was the better back we ever had.

- Hey Joe, where's that whiskey I ordered? - Just put it down, there.

What?

He has pinched me beer, steal a man's drink, will you?

What you going to do about it, eh?

Two of you it took, 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.

- Hey, what's the idea? - Hey, who are you shoving?

- Go get a copper. - Right.

Good shot.

Now, what's going on in here?

Quiet. Quiet.

Who started it?

- He did constable. - Well his Lordship, the devil himself.

I might've guessed it was you Quinn, come on.

Oh yes, I'll go quietly.

Darn you, come on.

Be off, cheers.

- O'Quinn got a month I see. - Yes, he's a good piece of work.

- Brentville? - Brentville.

Everything is going fine.

Now, this is going to be a really beautiful job, you'll watch it.

Here.

I'm getting a few books for the lads in our block, are there any crime novels now?

- No, they're out. - Oh, that's a pity.

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

Yes, come on.

Travel is over there.

Here.

- You Arkwright? - Yeah.

- Chandler sent me. - Is that?

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

Is any way you know you going to be sent here?

I made pretty certain of it.

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

Same with first offenders, I've made a study of it.

What's happening?

Orders are you're to work in the kitchens with me.

- When they get me out of here? - Don't worry, you are in good hands.

Hey, what are you two playing at down here?

Oh, it's all right Your honor,

Sure I'm only getting out a few old books.

- Here I... - Well, make quick about it.

Aye, right, right.

What's this?

The Escaping Club, think you're leaving us so soon O'Quinn?

I'm sure, why should I'd be leave in this darned place Your honor?

- Chow is better than home. - I get along with you.

And remember, no digging, is against the regulations.

- I'd like permission to see the Guvnor sir. - What about?

- I'd like to change my job. - Ok, put in a request.

The Escaping Club?

Hey Woolard.

You better sign these invoices.

Right, thanks.

Come on Mike, snap it up. I got to make a prison run after this.

Keep behind Joe, we're coming through.

Hey Woolard...

Hey, get a doctor quick, there's been an accident.

Sam, what you got under there? A woman?

- Oh hello George, how did it go? - So so, it's not hot-rod, I tell you.

Needs 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?

I 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.

Mathews?

- What you doing? - I, I thought I heard a loose floorboard.

Well, come down a minute, will you?

Monday you take over Woolard's run.

- Meaning the jail? - Yeah, Woolard just had an accident.

- Yeah? - Two accidents in a couple of weeks.

- Can't understand it. - Serious?

No, a sack of floor fell on him but he'll be off for a few weeks.

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

Sure.

♪ Doggie, doggie, doggie is my friend. ♪

You really must get another pair.

- I think you really must get another pair. - What?

- The socks. - Socks, yeah.

- George? - Eh?

You are not listening to me, what are you doing?

Eh? What am I doing? Oh, just catching up a little of my office work, that's all.

That's your good nature, that's your trouble, Jack knows it's not time for that.

- For what? - Well, for working late at night.

- Jack would've said that... - Hey, stop talking about Jack.

- I am sick to death to hear about him. - I'm sorry darling.

George, you know I was thinking...

about that television set, we could get one on a hire 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 ever we get a television set, I want to have the money to pay for it first.

It's a pity though.

Now look...

- if a television set means more than... - No, no, you are right darling.

No, we must save money.

But you darling, you can't blame me, it wasn't me 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 is going to look after meself 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 said?

Oh, should he soon be as finest color as his father.

Sound 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.

Oh, she'll be grand company for you, grand company.

Time is over O'Quinn.

- Good bye now. - Good bye.

- Chandler here. - Frank, your client knows about the deal.

Good girl.

That was Maureen, O'Quinn is been told.

That means Arkwright will be ready, will you inform his wife?

Yes, it'll be a pleasure.

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.

Yeah and Steve was pretty doubtful about you at first.

If you haven't lost the touch George, it's a work of a craftsman.

Ok, if you are satisfied, you pant.

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. - George, will you need this?

No, I never use it.

What about that guy you were worrying about?

- I take care of him my own way. - Whatever you say.

- Let's go over it this time and again, eh? - Yes, important to get it right now.

You're relying 5 minutes all the 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, to park in front of the stores.

It'll take 5 to 8 minutes to unload the truck.

Arkwright and O'Quinn will be here, in the kitchen.

When the truck is unloaded,

I'll drive around here and back in towards the kitchen.

And stall the engine there.

- I love this record. - Yes, is very restful Mrs. Arkwright.

- Mrs. Arkwright? O please, call me Rita. - Is a nice name Rita.

Have you know what you got to do tomorrow?

- Yes. - Good.

I'm afraid that's it and I better be going.

- Another engagement? - Yes.

- Bed. - It's a spare bed here.

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

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

It's a nice place.

He could afford it, things were pretty good while they lasted.

Until the police got onto him and now, well now I suppose I better go back to dancing.

- You were a dancer? - For six years.

Then I got bored, wanted something better, so I got married.

You have to wear those glasses?

Yes, for everything except close work.

- I thought you said you were tired. - I am.

- Do you charge extra for this Mr Farrow? - No, it all comes free of charge.

Part of the service.

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

George...

Coming dear.

All right darling.

You worried about something? The office?

It's all right darling, it'll be all right.

Sam Sam.

- Good 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.

- But why now? - Why not? Now is as good a time as any.

I checked the mileage, way over.

- How long will take? - Oh, best part of the day, I suppose.

Best part? What about me? I've got a timetable to meet.

Yeah, I know, I know. You to use the other van.

I don't want to use the other van, I want this, I am 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 tool box fixed in the back.

- So what? - So I want my own, that's what.

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

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

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

Everything all right?

Yes, have you got any last minute instructions?

No.

- Is 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?

Chandler, 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.

At the moment it does, then I'll have to do something about it.

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

You want me to spell it out for you?

We're not in this business for loves or for thrills, we're in it for money.

Unfortunately, our clients can't sign contracts.

Our client owes us a thousand quid.

You think he's going to feel like paying up...

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

- Who's going to tell him? - Nobody.

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.

Get me a crowbar.

Open the gates, Fred.

Pull up over there.

- Not a bit late? - Held up at the garage, servicing.

Well, step down a minute, will you?

- Haven't seen you before. - First trip.

- End inspecting? - Yeap, you're ok.

They're waiting for you at the storeroom. Over there, on the left.

Thanks.

Hey, wait a minute, you are new here, I'll go with you.

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

Yeah, hold it.

All right kid, now you're right.

Turn left here.

Now pull up here on the left.

- What's the trouble? - Brakes expansion 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 I smoke around here? - Yes, you want to.

- A 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.

Oh, I think they've finished.

Ok guards.

Good luck.

Now, is holding out?

- Going all right now? - Yeah.

You hot?

- Why? - You sweating.

Hope this crate never go again.

Sign here.

- Thanks for your help. - Any time.

Everything all right?

Yeah, Ok.

- See you next week. - Yeah.

Hey, stop.

The tailboard is down, I'll fix it.

All right, I fixed it, you can move off.

Where's Arkwright?

Main gate, quick.

- Hey, wait. - What's the matter?

I've just had a call, got to stop everything going out, prisoner missing.

Well, if he's in there he won't go far, we've got the number.

Come on.

Inspector Collins.

Breakout from Brentville, 15 o'clock hours in red Morris van, registration number SXD310.

Suspected heading North to North Circular Road.

Right. Adams, we should build roadblocks at the following points...

junction of Hanger Lane and Western Avenue, junction of Harrow Road and North Circular.

Junction of Leavesden Lane and North Circular...

junction of Edgware Road and North Circular.

You can't park here sir, I'm afraid.

Sorry officer, just a few minutes, waiting for the wife.

All right, not too long mate.

Message to all cars NW 10, NW 2, NW 6.

Escaped from Brentville in red Morris van, registration number SXD310.

Where now?

You'll see, exchange clothes in the back, get in.

Ok.

You're turning second on the right.

- Good luck. - Hey, thanks a lot.

Isn't that the red van? Pull over driver.

Oh Constable, did you see anyone getting away from here?

Yes sir, they were a maroon and Grey saloon.

Nearly knocked me down, but I managed to get their number.

WWK747

It's the van all right, has a concealed compartment in the back.

Fine, constable here managed to get the number of the car they transferred to.

- We can pick them up in no time then.

I don't want them picked up, not just that anyway.

We'll radio the description and the number and have the car followed.

With any luck we may get the lot, come on. Come on.

- Carry on Constable. - Right.

Can't wait him much longer, there's a miss coming up, that means trouble.

He'll be here any minute, hey Frank?

I'll give him another ten minutes, half of that I think it'd be too late.

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

- Phil is getting nervous. - I don't blame him.

- What you looking at? - I was just thinking.

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

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

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 realize what will happen to your husband when we get him away to Ireland?

But don't forget he's on the run. He's got no friends or money ever there.

Have difficulty in getting a job, you'd be living cooped up in cheap lodgings houses...

and only able to get out after dark, he'll crack.

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

What, what alternative you suggest?

- Stay here. - Who with?

Me.

- You interested? - Very.

Thus, don't be here when they come back.

- Ask you to wait in my car. - Alright.

You can get out through that.

- He's 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 better give him a hand Fred.

- How you feeling? - I'll be all right.

- Here you are, pull it together. - Thank you.

Now, do you think you can make the flight?

- Where you taking me? - A little field, just outside Dublin.

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

Where's, 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 is that?

Well, well, well, seems I wasn't expected.

Inspector Collins, CID.

What is it inspector? We done something wrong?

It's no good gentlemen, I've got you.

We found Mrs. Arkwright in the car outside sir.

Rita, but...

Well, that would seem to wrap it up.

I don't like long explanations, I'll take you all 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 we'll get? - Oh, I don't 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.

Overturned bucket. That's something you can't foresee.

- What's it honey? - Nothing, nothing.

Sit down, sit down.

Look.

- George, what on earth? - Don't ask.

- You've been gambling. - Yeah, yeah, that's right.

George, suppose if you've lost.

Oh I'd, I'd been in trouble then, wouldn't I?

Come on, you I did it for darling, should be pleased.

Oh darling, of course I'm pleased but...

you mustn't do it again, you may not win next time.

Maybe, maybe not. I better get going, the wise Campkin...

George, what you going to do with the money?

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

I tell you, as a start, you get dressed and I'll take you out for dinner tonight.

- Oh darling. - You just want me for my money honey.

- Hi George. - Good morning Barry, Peter.

- Good morning Mr Munro. - Good morning Mr Campkin.

- How the family? - Family? Oh, 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.

Well, as I said before...

meticulous attention to detail is the hallmark of the good planner.

Oh, yes Mr Campkin.

Always keep it bold and simple Mr Munro and never forget the details.

Details.

Details, where ever heard that before?

- Good morning. - Come on Munro.

Chandler's notebook gave us your address.
