Resync And Corrections By Chuck

I am the resurrection and
the life, sayeth the Lord.

He that believeth in
me, though he were dead,

yet shall he live.

And whosoever liveth and
believeth in me shall never die.

I know that--

[Jack] You wouldn't
think they were burying

one of the biggest villains
in West London would ya?

[George] That bird's actually crying.

Tasty.

[Jack] Arlene Baker,

she was Joe Castle's personal assistant.

[George] How personal?

[Jack] Enough to make
your eyes water, sunshine.

[George] I should be so lucky.

[gentle soothing music]

[Jack] The king is dead,
long live the king.

[George] Eh?

[Jack] Pat Tarley on the
right, Phil Nairn on the left.

Nairn's just a minder.

[shelves crashing]

[bottles smashing]

That's the opposition.

On the left Charlie Walters,
on the right Ted Parkin,

Charlie's fixer.

[George] Who's the kiss of
death in the 50 bob overcoat?

[Jack] That's Johnno Smith.

I wouldn't take him home to mum.

But don't underrate
Parkin, he keeps the books.

Daniel bloody Kitter, he should be

in the Guinness Book of Records,

the world's crookedest solicitor.

[car horns beeping]

[George] Governor would give
his right arm to nick him.

I wonder if Joe Castle left a will.

Like what?

To my loyal heavy Pat Tarley
I leave my protection racket.

[George] Yeah.

Who's that?

[Jack] Looks like the
young liberal of the year.

Maybe he's got the wrong funeral.

I wonder.

[camera shutter clicking]

Hey, get this, "Rest in peace, Charlie."

Last year they were trying
to blow each others legs off.

Here Governor, look at this.

From the kid.

[Jack] "In loving memory
of my father, Steven."

So old Joe had a son.

[George] And an heir?

[Jack] I hope not, for his sake.

The Sweeney Theme !

Are you liquidating all
of my father's interests?

Oh yes, those are my instructions.

Some small provision for Miss.
Baker your father's assistant

and the rest to you.

And not a vast fortune
perhaps but there will be

the proceeds of the finance
and property interests.

But not the protection interests?

Mr. Kitter, I'm fully
aware that my late father

was not shall we say a totally honest man.

Perhaps not Mr. Castle but I don't think

that should concern you now.

But it does Mr. Kitter.

Everything about my father concerns me.

You seem to forget I hardly knew him.

[phones ringing]

-I don't buy it George.
-He used to do it at City.

Nah,

[both speaking over each other]

Diving board for it.

-Rubbish.
-He did take a dive.

Oh! Sorry love.

Ah oh!

Oh, sorry, it's all right
Stuart I'll do that.

Thanks.

Oh God, I'm sorry love.

Didn't see you there

I was talking about football [chuckles].

It's all right.

I'll get those, here.

Good morning George.

Ah, morning Guv.

Good morning Jill.

Yeah, two quid on the nose.

Yeah, all right, see ya.

Guv?

What is George doing?

Gotta stop meeting like this.

He's pulling a bird.

The sooner he's promoted the better.

Joe Castle's wife was a show girl, dancer.

Marriage was over pretty quickly.

Soon as she found out
what sort of a villain

he was I suppose.

Anyway, she went back
home to mum in Manchester.

Joe never talked about her.

And the kid?

Kept pretty schtum about him too.

I think it's about time we had a word

with a certain bent brief
of our mutual acquaintance.

George.

A photostat of Steven
Castle's birth certificate.

I think you'll find it in order Mr. Regan.

So, Castle Jr.'s been hiding away

in Manchester all these years?

Mr. Castle was brought up there, yes.

However, since his mother
died he's had very little

connection with the place.

He's been studying abroad for some time.

Studying?

Yes, I believe he is shortly to take up

a lectureship at Cambridge.

Economics is his specialty.

I see.

All right, so the kid's straight.

Now, can you take some straight talking?

I hope you're not about

to suggest anything improper Inspector.

Better safe than sorry, eh?

Now what I want to know is
who's going to take over

the firm now that Joe's gone?

Oh, that's no secret.

All the business assets
are to be liquidated.

Apart from a relatively
small annuity to Miss. Baker

the entire estate passes to
Mr. Steven Castle as cash.

How do you liquidate a protection racket?

Or 300 prostitutes?

150 pornographers?

You tell me gentlemen,
after all you are supposed

to be the policemen around here!
[laughing]

[laughing] Comic.

Joe used to talk about
you when he got drunk,

thought you were some kind of genius.

He was very ambitious for me I gather,

not that I really knew him.

Couldn't spare the time I suppose.

Be grateful sonny, he
left you enough didn't he?

Where did you learn about these?

Your old man taught me.

He was some kind of genius
too, in his own way.

Yes, I wouldn't be too sure about that.

He's far too much money
tied up in property loans.

This is no time to be
heavily into property.

There should be a bias towards companies

trading in essential commodities.

Oh, should there?

Yes, and foreclosure on the biggest debts

would enable cash to be raised against

the freeholds to reinvest.

Simple enough.

The accountant should have advised that.

He just did.

Good, if a little late.

By the way, I'd like a
key to the mews house.

I need to check my
father's personal effects.

Oh, do you?

I suppose you know I've been living there?

Be my guest Miss. Baker.

♪ I'm a regular girl
with my head in a whirl ♪

You going to QPR tonight?

Ooh...

Oooh!

Awwwe.

If this keeps up we're
gonna have to take you

down to the vets.

[George scoffs]

You going to QPR?

No, are you?

Nah.

For that bird is it?

What bird?

The Commander's secretary.

Tut, tut, tut, Sergeant,
on your own doorstep.

It's very unwise for a promotion
hungry skipper you know.

Yeah, that reminds me, I
suppose you haven't heard

anything about the
selection board have you?

It ended two nights ago I
thought there'd be some rumors

flashing about by now.

No, George, you'll be the first to know.

Hey, not many make D.I. first time.

Yeah I know that, it's just--

Hold up.

Ta-ra, love.

-[car engine roaring]
-[sirens blaring]

[car engine turning over]

Let's see what Tarley's up to.

Rock on, Bill.

[upbeat electronic funky music]

What the hell's going on?

We got a tail Phil.

Lose him!

It's bloody Regan.

Pull up.

[tires squealing]

[car door thudding]

So, what's the game, huh, Regan?

Thought we'd have a chat Patty.

We're having one aren't we?

How's it feel to be facing
redundancy at your age?

If you wanna talk sense, talk sense.

Well Charlie Walters will
be moving in any day now.

Arlene's gonna be
looking after number one,

so where does that leave you bright eyes?

Drop dead, Kojak.

And there's more.

Joe Castle had a son, Steven.

Didn't he tell you?

Tut, tut, tut, secrets.

Well, it seems that young Stevie's

been left a lot in daddy's will.

You been reading the
boy's own paper again?

That's the kosher SP
Patty, you ask Kitter.

Yeah, the word is that Stevie's

been chatting to Charlie Walters.

Plans to hand over the firm on a plate.

Get stuffed Regan.

The day aint come when the
Sweeney could snow me [spits].

[car engine revving]

Okay?

No it aint bloody okay.

Well drive then.

What you playing at Guv?

Hey?

Well setting the professor up.

The kid is obviously
gonna take the legit money

and run, right?

He hasn't even done anything naughty yet.

He's had a bloody good life

on his old man's bent
bread though aint he.

Manchester, I bet he never went to school

with no backside in his trousers.

Da, dum, da, da, da, dum, da, dum.

Well, no, but I bet he won't offer to pay

anything back now will he?

He might not be able to pay anything back

even if he did want to.

Tarley might cut off his hands.

Oh, stop wetting yourself George.

Kitter will keep him out of trouble.

He'll have him back in his
ivory tower in next to no time.

I suppose I don't have to ask

what you're going to tell Charlie Walters?

Look, I know you're after promotion

but there's no need to
become a fifth floor butler.

Leave it out Governor.

You know as well as I
do that Charlie Walters

and Pat Tarley are both greedy bastards.

They both wanna get their
hands on this firm, right?

Yeah, all right.

Well if we can convince each of 'em

that the other one's
gonna get it on a plate

from the kid they'll both panic.

Tarley's bottling already.

Phil, Joe ever say anything
to you about having a kid?

Kid, no.

I hope you haven't brought me down here

just to prove that crime pays.

[chuckling]

[boat horn blaring]

[loud knocking]

Walters will listen to you Guv.

You got to know him quite well

on that airport bank case didn't ya?

Too well he'd say.

Yeah, well at least he
knows you're straight.

If I say anything he'll
think it's a snow job.

Listen Jack, joking apart don't put

the Castle kid at risk.

Kitter will be watching every move.

That boy catches so much as
a cold there'll be a writ

slapped on the Commissioner's desk

first thing the next morning.

Ah, do you reckon
they'll be back at seven?

Yeah, gotta be.

Where's George?

I let him off early tonight,

he's got a bit of a heavy number on.

[gentle sitar music playing]

Hey, steady on.

Oh, come on, help us to get
to know each other better.

I know quite a lot about you already.

Oh really?

Uh-huh, you're 28, you've
been in the flying squad

for two years, you're
supposed to be very funny

and good in a fight.

Mm, you've been talking to
the tea lady haven't ya?

I also know you're looking for promotion.

Yeah, but will I get it?

Ah, well that's a big secret.

Don't I know it.

Cheers.

Cheers.

All right then, what else do ya know?

You've been married.

Yeah, that's right.

Divorced or separated?

No, no, she died.

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Nah, don't be silly it's a long time ago.

It's a car accident.

Well drink up, I know a
little club we can go to.

I'm just marking your card Charlie,

you do anything to that boy
and you're in big trouble.

The squad'll haunt you
day and night Charlie.

I won't turn your back then.

Look, if Joe's left
the kid a bit of bread,

good luck to him.

Where's Tarley fit into your scenario?

We'll be watching Tarley don't worry.

Yeah, what's to stop the
kid handing it all over

with a big pen, lock, stock and barrel.

Us.

Can I have that in writing?

As I say, just a friendly warning.

Thanks for the drink.

Good night Charlie, Mr. Parkin.

Cheers.

What do ya make of that Ted?

Not sure Charlie.

Nah, it's all cobblers.

If there is a kid he'll
get what he can off Kitter

and hang him out.

Haskins is just tryna scare
us off Castle's pitch.

Maybe, the Sweeney'll
probably pick up Tarley

in a couple of days.

Ruin Joe's action.

If you unseated him first

they'd have a much bigger
problem on their hands.

First I must give that Tarley a seeing to.

Wait for a couple of days.

The heat'll be cool by then.

[classical music playing]

Making yourself at home then.

Listen sonny, how long do
you plan to stay around here?

I hate to remind you but it is my house.

You don't seem to know
what you're walking into.

[loud knocking]

I know my place.

[classical music playing]

You don't waste much time do you kid?

The old fella not cold yet

and here you are giving his bird one.

Just like old times innit.

Did you know she was on the game kiddo

before your daddy found her?

You bastard Tarley.

Do you care for a drink Mr. Tarley?

Yeah, why not.

Now then sonny Jim, you and
me's gonna have a little chat.

Certainly.

I've really been running
this firm for years.

I see.

Yeah but the point is that's the way

it's gonna stay, got it?

I think you've made your
position perfectly clear.

I want the bloody lot and
I'm gonna have it too.

And don't try to be smart Johnny boy,

I know about you planning to
sell out to Charlie Walters.

I can sort out Charlie, I can sort out you

and I can certainly sort
out that older boiler

in the corner there.

Have some advice John, three months,

get out while your able to
and take Mara Hari with you.

Come on.

Animals.

Decidedly unpleasant.

Charlie Walters, do you know him?

Never had the pleasure.

It's not worth waiting for.

Get what you can out of Kitter and run.

I don't intend to run anywhere Arlene

and I don't intend to
let the firm be wound up.

[Arlene laughing]

I'm taking over.

All right Phil?

Yep.

Pat.

Nice to see you Col.

Got business for me?

Thought you might have
some readies for me?

Oh, yeah?

The Hardley job.

You're not trying to blow
on us are you Col boy?

You know me better than that.

Two days before Joe died
I left the tom with him.

Insurance value 100 thou.

I was on 20 thou from Joe.

Tom?

All small diamonds,
beautiful mostly groins.

If you're wrong Col.

I'm not wrong.

Joe didn't tell you about it?

Now look Col, son, leave
this one with me will ya?

Things have been a bit skiffy,

Joe going out like that, you know.

All right Pat.

Just don't try and do me out that's all.

We'll do business, don't
twist your knickers.

Okay Pat.

Phil, couple a days, eh?

See you, Col.

But of course that's it.

That's why the kid was so cocky.

Him and Joe's brass have got them stones.

Come on, we gotta get out
of here before Joe Walters

gets in on the act the thieving bastard.

[dog barking]

[Jack] How'd you get on last night?

[George] Hm, all right.

[Jack] No naughties?

[George] Nah, it was
back home to mum wasn't it.

[Jack] Coco and the
family album [chuckles]?

I wonder if Joe owned this gaff
or if he had it on a lease.

Here, did I tell you
about my uncle and aunt?

No.

Well they're retiring, you know,

moving down to the coast,

and they wanna sell me their place cheap.

Well, that's right lad,

put your brass in bricks and mortar.

Yeah, the only thing is I can't
get a big enough mortgage.

Not on my screw, you know.

I thought you said it was cheap?

Well it is.

Still if my promotion comes off.

Oh, don't sweat on that.

Here's the boy wonder.

[car engine roaring]

[tires screeching]

Morning Mr. Castle.

Morning, Inspector?

Regan.

Ah yes, have I been arrested?

No, no, no.

I just thought we ought
to have a little chat.

People keep saying that to me lately.

Well, perhaps we're all concerned

with your welfare Mr. Castle.

Am I in danger then?

You just could be yes.

We understand you've just
come into a little money.

My late father had a number
of business interests yeah.

Yeah, prostitution, protection,
pornography, receiving.

Oh dear, I think it's time
I spoke to my solicitor.

Mr. Castle, I don't normally speak ill

of the dead but your
father was a right villain.

Inspector, as I'm sure you're aware

I hardly knew my father.

Nevertheless he was extremely good to me

and I do resent being
detained in a police car

solely to listen to you
insulting his memory.

It's all news to you is it?

My father owned a finance house
and small property company

which like many others has not
been doing too well of late.

Your father organized an empire of crime.

Now he's dead certain nasty people

-are fighting for the spoils.
-Oh, I've had enough of this.

Where's your evidence gentlemen?

Oh, we'll get you all
the evidence you need.

Well if it's as plentiful
as that how is it

you never obtained a conviction?

It wasn't for the want of trying.

Are you gonna be staying here long?

I'm not sure.

Right, you ever met a man named Tarley?

Ah, yes.

Charlie Walters?

No, no, Mr. Kitter and
Miss. Baker have been

my only real contacts.

Watch Arlene.

Yeah, she's not on leave
from a convent you know.

If you come across anything lying around

that you're not too sure
about, keep your hands off it

otherwise we'll have
to collect you as well.

If you're not too sure
about it ring this number.

Thank you Inspector Regan.

I find your fairy story fascinating.

Tell me, why didn't you
advise me to run away?

Everyone else has.

Well, I think you've got the right to know

what sort of man your father really was.

Tail him.

It's true I'm afraid.

Steven's completely
rejected his father's plans,

against my advice I may say.

He intends to take over

and develop the legitimate interests.

Appearances can be so deceptive
Miss. Baker can't they?

What happens to the rest of the firm?

I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't go

to the highest bigger.

Tarley turned up last night
and warned Steven off.

So, why didn't Steven
put a deal to him then?

I couldn't say.

The boy's a complete enigma.

[sighing] What do I do now?

Mr. Castle made provision for you.

Take the money and run.

Are you Steven Castle?

Yes, how can I help you?

My name's Raleigh.

Your father and I used
to do business together.

I think I understand.

Couple of days before Joe
died I left certain goods

with him and I want those
goods back or 20,000 pounds.

These goods being stolen?

You're a bit obvious aren't you?

Forgive me, I'm rather
new to this business.

What is the real value of these goods?

It was jewelry, insurance
value 100,000 plus.

Now I may as well tell you that
Pat Tarley hasn't got them.

That only leaves you
and the lovely Arlene.

Very well Mr. Raleigh I'll discuss

this matter with Miss. Baker.

I'm sure we can find a solution.

You'd better.

[tires squealing]

[suspensful funky dramatic music]

It was just business Mr. Regan.

You leave off Colin.

You're in trouble, you've lost your fence,

what were you doing sussing out the land

seeing if the boy was taking over?

Look, I, I've told you, it was business.

Legit business.

Have we gotta haunt you Colin?

Now look, I'm getting out Guv.

I'm going straight.

Joe was gonna set me up, back
me in a little eating place.

Well go and see my solicitor,
he's got all the papers.

I can't listen to any more.

On your bike.

Colin, you know you
like porridge!

[Chuckles]

I've just come from Kitter's,

you must be out of your mind
trying to go through with this.

You've lost your nest egg.

What, what do you mean?

Raleigh's jewels, he was here earlier,

Taley knows about them
you can't keep them now.

Oh yes I can.

That's my bloody insurance.

Now that you've decided to
play the hero it's going to be

an all out fight between
Taley and Walters.

I don't want to get caught
in the middle of that.

I'm off and the toms going with me.

Understand this Arlene,

you and the jewels are staying here.

Is that clear?

You are having a busy day.

You are wasting your time I told you.

Yeah, you told us.

You told us nothing.

Where's the stuff brass?

I don't know what you're
talking about. [phone ringing]

Get it.

Yes?

Steven Castle, this is Ted Parkin,

I work for Charlie Walters
I'd like to have a chat

with you, just you and me.

Very well Mr. Kitter, if you say so.

Oh, I get it.

Yes, well I'll call you back.

Please do, he's here actually,
I'll tell him myself.

So, what was that about?

That was Kitter returning
a call I made earlier.

He wished to inform me that the full title

in the legitimate side
of my father's interests

has now passed to me.

So?

Get out of my office
before I call the police.

Big talk eh?

All right, we're going but we're taking

Auntie Arlene with us.

Back to the mews to find Raleigh's stones.

Get her down to the car.

I'm coming with you.

Suit yourself.

Providing I can find your place

I'll pick you up just
after eight, is that okay?

Okay.

Good.

George, your Governor.

Oh.

Oh, and a bloke rang about
your mortgage, all right?

Yeah, cheers Stu.

Mortgage?

Yeah, I've, erm, listen I've gotta fly.

I'll see you later all right?

Okay.

Grab her Phil.

[Arlene groaning]

Talk, scrubber.

Get lost.

Now, you've searched the place,

you know we don't have the jewelry.

Has it occurred to you
Raleigh might be lying?

Oh yeah, we're gonna see him.

This is just for old time's sake.

Ahhhh!

Ow!

You wanna talk now kid?

Raleigh, Raleigh gave it
to Walters, Kitter told me.

Walters' been using Raleigh
to cause trouble between us,

make it easier to take over.

Bastards, could've saved yourself

a lot of bother couldn't you son?

Handed you my share on a plate?

You're gonna do that anyway.

[groaning]

If you're snowing us kid we'll be back.

Not many men would have done that for me.

Where's the jewelry?

Well they seem safe enough.

Come on.

[door knocking].

[Jack] Castle, open up, it's Regan.

Let him in.

Pat Tarley doesn't mess about does he?

Tarley?

Tarley and Phil Nairn.

Miss. Baker and I have been drinking.

Things got a little boisterous,
we had an argument and--

Got a good left hook has she?

Come off it son, I saw 'em leave.

Tarley's been leaning on ya.

You're fantasizing again Inspector.

You're a glutton for punishment aren't ya?

That's your inheritance
all down in black and white

to the last dishonest full stop.

Thank you Inspector.

Try and make him see sense

or you'll be wearing black again.

Get me a drink.

Yes Steven.

I don't understand you
George, you're rushing around,

demanding to get promoted

yet you can't even be
back from dinner on time.

Yeah, I'm sorry Governor.

Well thanks to you I've had
to let Tarley and Nairn off.

There's been a right
bull and cow in there.

-Is the kid all right?
-Yeah, he's fine, yeah.

Too bloody fine for my liking.

[phone ringing]

Yes?

Yes, that'll be fine.

Yes I know the place, goodbye.

Have to go out, won't be long.

[dog whimpering]

Would he like a walk?

It's a she.

[car engine turning over]

[Jack] Ted Parkin, Charlie Walters' man.

[George] What the hell's this kid up to?

He's seen us.

You've been followed.

Police?

Looks like a Sweeney car to me.

Sweeney?

Flying squad.

Well, don't worry Mr. Parkin.

The police are the least of my worries.

Good night.

[talking over each other]

You fancy a drink?

Erm, no thanks Guv.

Not that Commander's secretary again?

What you up to?

What?

The way you're mating up
to her anyone would think

you were tryna get her
to break into his safe

to get your selection results.

That's not a bad idea though is it?

Yeah.

I'll see ya Guv.

Yeah, see ya George.

Oh, George, Commander's
office, 12:30 tomorrow.

Selection board?

Well what do you think?

Right, thanks, ta-ra.

Goodnight George.

Is he on the turn?

Nah, he's in a bit of a two and eight

about this selection business.

He'll be all right after tomorrow.

Yes, well let's hope you are.

Eh?

Kitter claims you are
harassing his client,

one Steven Alexander
Castle would you believe.

Fancy a drink Guv, in the tank?

Yeah.

Now I never touched him.

Tarley did though.

Kicked the what's it out
of him this afternoon.

Kitter claims that you're bad
for his client's reputation.

Pulling him in and out of police cars,

following him when he
takes the dog for walkies.

Did he tell you that the
kid took Parkin for a walk?

It appears they met by accident.

Yeah, well that kid's a
bit too accident prone.

Yeah, well you be careful Kitter's as bent

as a two bob watch.

Well I don't think Castle
Jr.'s that straight.

Oh?

No, he's not the academic
little dummy he appears.

Anything specific?

Well not yet, but we're working on it.

Keep us posted and mind yourself.

You're a bastard you know.

Worse than your father.

If my mother heard you say
that she'd turn in her grave.

Your mother?

Were it not for mother I wouldn't be here.

Isn't it a bit late for a biology lesson?

My mother refused to let me have anything

to do with my father.

I never even saw his photograph.

And saw a lot of his bread then?

Only lately, she wouldn't
take a penny off him.

When she died he took over.

Paid for a good public school, university.

Financed a nice life in fact.

I'm not going to complain
about him either.

Did you love him?

No, where I grew up you
learn life pretty fast.

You can't have everything.

A good life is worth a lot.

Worth more than love?

Joe was good to me.

I'll get some more drinks.

No, all right.

I never knew whether he loved me.

I think not.

Only met him twice, he
thought I was a puff.

Asked me if I could take a good hiding.

When I asked him what he
meant he laughed like a drain.

Well he was right of course,

mother had forbidden violent sports.

Frightened I might become
a gangster like my old man.

I was 15 when I first met my father.

I hated him then.

I was determined to
prove I could be as tough

and successful as he was.

He had to die to give me the chance.

You haven't proved anything yet.

Haven't I?

I'm looking for a place for a meeting.

Somewhere secluded, empty
house, in its own grounds,

somewhere like that, any ideas?

I don't know.

What about a market?

Market?

It's empty, they don't use it anymore.

The company was going to
buy it for redevelopment.

Yes, that sounds fine.

Steve, let's take the
jewels, go to Amsterdam.

I know who can fence them.

That's illegal.

Besides, I can't run away now.
I'm about to scoop the pool.

You are quite a chef George.

You are quite right my dear.

Now, a little Sambuca for
el señorina.

Ah, gosh, shouldn't there be little beans

floating on the top?

Should there?

One moment.

Well, it was instant wasn't it?

[phone ringing]

Hello.

Yes, yeah, yeah you're late.

The only thing is I won't
know now until tomorrow 12:30.

Yeah, come on this is the police you know,

I can't just go in there
and tell 'em what to do.

No, well he's a Commander.

That's only two down from God.

Okay, I'll do my best, I
can't say any more than that.

Yeah, okay, ta-ra, cheers.

Sorry about that.

Trouble?

Yeah, nah, well sort of.

Do you want to tell me about it?

Well, I got the chance
of buying this house

you see, really cheap.

My aunt and uncle are retiring
and they're gonna sell

it to me but I can't
get the bread together

to get the mortgage.

That's why I need this promotion.

Well, now, another bloke's
come in with a better offer

and the geezer's gotta
know first thing tomorrow

and I won't know the result
of the board til 12:30.

Well, is it that important?

No, I dunno, suppose not,
it's just I've really

set me heart on having a place of me own.

Especially with the houses
the prices they are now.

I wish I could help George.

Well you could.

You could get the result
of the board for us.

George I can't.

No, I only need to know a
couple of hours before schedule.

But I don't know who's
got them, where they are.

Come on, the boss must have
'em first thing, right?

There are two of the other
candidates going in at 10.

Love, I just can't go in there rifling

through the confidential files.

I'm not asking you--

Most of them are locked up anyway.

All right, what d'ya mean?

Can't or won't?

What's that supposed to mean?

Look, I'm asking you to
help 'cause I'm in trouble

and you won't even consider it.

No.

It is my career you know.

I know yours is just a job and next month

you'll be going on to some other firm.

There's no need to go on.

I'm not going on. Dah, forget it!

Wanna drink?

I think I'd better go.

Back to mum and the cocoa is it?

Look George, I came here tonight because--

Because you felt sorry for me.

I know the dialogue up
there, poor George Carter

his wife was killed, he's
been ever so unlucky.

That's not what I meant.

What did you mean then?

Goodnight George.

Oh, all right, I'm sorry.

Goodnight George.

Cheers.

[rock music]

Been looking all over for you Col.

God almighty Pat,
there's no need for this.

You've been doing the double
on us. Where's the stuff?

I swear, I, I.

Do you wanna lose your ears Colin?

All right, all right Pat.

The boy phoned me last night.

There's a meet today.

Matlord Market, you know,
that derelict place.

Is the stuff in the house?

No, he says it's somewhere else.

He described a piece over the blower.

He's found it all right Pat.

All of a sudden I'm fond of you Colin.

I don't want you out of our sight.

[phone ringing]

Jack,

it's your message back from C11.

The local regional crime squad
report that Colin Raleigh

was seen near Hardley two weeks ago.

Just after that the had
a country house done.

Surprise, surprise.

100,000 pounds worth of jewelry.

They pulled him in but they
couldn't make it stick.

It's beginning to make sense.

[Frank] What is?

Why Raleigh's been hanging
around the Castle gaff.

Joe Castle was fencing
for him, I suspected.

And Joe was inconsiderate enough

to have a fatal coronary
before paying him off.

So Raleigh's now looking for
his jewelry and a new fence.

Yeah, the point is where is the jewelry?

Remember I told you Tarley
gave the boy a kicking?

Well he wasn't warning the kid off

he was looking for the loot.

Must be still around somewhere.

Warrants?

No, I'd like to run a
few checks first Guv,

just in case we warn the wrong one off.

All right, let me know how you get on.

[phone ringing]

On the chandelier again George?

Yeah, yeah all right sure, yeah.

Yeah, I know you had an
offer you couldn't refuse.

[gulls cawing]

Good morning Mr. Watlers
sorry about the short notice.

Been looking forward to meeting you.

Take a seat.

Here is a list of the
activities in my father's

firm I think it's called.

I have no idea of the
takings from these sources

because Mr. Tarley has been collecting

and keeping the income
since my father died.

Yeah, I'll bet he has.

Most of the business seems to revolve

around personal contacts.

The names and addresses are all there.

I think we can say you've
taken over as from now.

I reckon your old man did
a good job on you son.

Two days before my father died
Raleigh handed him jewelry

with an insurance value in
excess of 100,000 pounds.

Oh yeah?

I've just located this
jewelry and I intend

to hand it back to Raleigh at
three o'clock this afternoon.

I have written the
address for that meeting

on the last page.

Since the firm is now yours
I thought you might like

to be present and arrange to
fence for Raleigh yourself.

You're a winner son, an
absolute winner, you know that?

Let us hope so.

Until three o'clock then?

On the dot.

Could be a set up Ted.

No, you forget I've talked
to the kid at some length.

He just wants to get out
with his hands clean.

Tarley could have leaned on the kid,

used him to pay the trap.

Tarley'd know about Raleigh,
know about the tom wouldn't he?

Might be he's too stupid
to use it to his advantage.

He's greedy though, bloody greedy.

Okay Charlie, I'll tell you what we'll do.

You take Johnno to the
meet and pick up the tom

'cause he's handy.

I'll take a few boys to sort Tarley out.

Unless of course you want
me to pick the stones up?

Nah, you can see to Tarley.

Be good practice for you.

We'll do that then.

Yeah, I like it.

How'd it go?

Oh, I did the board.

Well I had to really didn't I.

Lost the gaff, bird pulled up the ladder.

It's not my bleeding day is it?

Oh well, win a few, lose a few mate.

Anyway it saves me breaking
in the new skipper.

Yeah, but if I was C1 or
the fraud squad or any--

Oh, leave it out George.

You've just gotta stand outside
the lifts at six o'clock.

You nearly get speared by
the brollies running home.

Some of them wouldn't know
a villain if you stuck him

in front of 'em with a
placard round his neck.

But at a selection board,
ooh, they're terrific.

They're dynamite really.

It is my considered opinion,
sir, that a higher incidence

of colored police officers
would be beneficial

from the point of view of racial harmony

in certain police areas, sir.

Ah, well they have their bad
days as well you know George.

Don't forget, I had to
pass a selection board,

once in the long, long ago.

Yeah, it's one of the few
things that gives me hope.

[laughing] What you need
is some exercise young man.

Get your bowels moving again, right?

[phone ringing]

Regan,

oh yes Mr. Castle what can we do for you?

Get the boss quick George, our
prayers have been answered.

Right.

My pleasure Mr. Regan.

The bait is laid.

I still don't see why you
couldn't just hand over

the jewelry to one of them
and let them fight it out.

If I'd only wanted the
money that would have been

the appropriate course of action.

But I needed the finance
house, the property company,

that forced me to make other plans.

Taking a lot on yourself aren't you.

Don't worry Arlene, I'm sharing
the burden as it happens.

[dramatic drum roll]

Well all we want now is the villains.

[airplane engine roaring]

You still reckon that Castle
kid's straight do you Guv?

I dunno George but it was--

An offer you couldn't refuse.

There.

Three in one.

Now come on Charlie, let's have you.

Reckon the toms in there?

Oh you can bet on it.

The boy's not that stupid.

[Pat] Just beautiful.

[tires squealing]

There Guv!

[gun blasting]

Right, against the car.

All right.

Feet, arms.

All right.

[groaning]

Sure, I'll meet you in The
Stag, say half an hour?

I'll speak to you then.

Like a dream.

Right, the finance house
and the property company

are mine, the rest is yours.

I won't shake hands, we
won't be meeting again.

No need is there.

You lying, cheating little bastard.

Cheers.

How about a short holiday,
winter cruise perhaps?

Mm, sounds nice.

Unless you have plans of your own.

No, I've got no plans.

Well, the money will be there.

You didn't say that the last
time you looked at the books.

Oh no, it's not coming out of the firm.

Oh?

No, you seem to forget, I'm due a reward

from an insurance company for the recovery

of certain items of stolen jewelry.

[scoffs]

Regan, I'll have you.

You and that bloody boy wonder.

And I was worried you're
a bit long in the tooth

to fall for it.

[Jack laughing]

You enjoy that Guv?

Bit of the old collar feeling.

Well, it
makes a change, well done Jack, George.

-Cheers Guv.
-Cheers Guv.

Just think, if you'd have
passed that selection board

you'd have been sent off
to the sticks somewhere.

Either Ratcliff or Orpington,
finding lost budgies,

guarding the mayor's chain,
nicking the local puff

in the recreation ground toilets.

Think you'd miss this.

Certainly.

You're not doing too badly.

The Castle kid's doing a
lot better though aint he.

He'll be up West tonight,
champers, leg over at her place

and all on bent bread.

And look at me.

Can't get promoted, can't get a mortgage,

can't even hold onto a bird.

Do you know what my old man left me?

Bleeding gas bill.

Nah, don't fret about Castle,
we'll get him in the end.

Believe that I'd feel a lot better.

Come on, I'll buy you a drink.

That's my trouble you see,

I always settle for less than I deserve.

Not when I'm paying you don't.
