14:37—
14:39If he finds out, he cut your bleeding legs off.
14:42How well do you know the kid?
14:44I've known him for years on and off wire.
14:46Does he suffer from diabetes?
14:49No.
14:50Epilepsy, anything like that?
14:52He doesn't even get dandruff.
14:54I know what you're trying to do.
14:56I'm trying to find out why he collapsed.
14:58Yeah, you gave him a toe in.
14:59That's not my game.
15:01That's not what I heard.
15:03The word is, you're evil.
15:04Even the other old Bill thinks so.
15:06Charge him.
15:23Yeah.
15:24Hello, Stan.
15:30Hey, Stan.
15:33You look like you could use a drink.
15:36It's Andy.
15:38What happened?
15:39He's been nicked.
15:41What for?
15:42The wages job. Hammersmith.
15:45No way.
15:47He's too clever to get caught up in that sort of game.
15:49Sweeney picked him up four hours ago.
15:51I've just been told I came straight round here.
15:54No one dare phone you.
15:56All right. Who nicked him?
15:58Bloody Regan.
16:01You're not going to like this, Phil.
16:03Where is he?
16:05Hospital.
16:09What did you say?
16:11An emergency.
16:13What happened?
16:14I don't know.
16:16Bloody find out!
16:17Do you think I'm responsible for Deacon going to the hospital?
16:21Well, do you?
16:23Do you want the truth?
16:24I'm not sure.
16:25I'm not sure.
16:26I'm not sure what to think.
16:27I'm sorry.
16:28Well, I knew you didn't like me.
16:29Don't be so bloody childish.
16:30All right, my methods, then.
16:31Some of them.
16:33I thought by now there was at least a mutual trust and understanding.
16:37You're a violent man, Jack.
16:38Deacon and Lee blinded one man, the other he's still concussed with 27 stitches in his skull.
16:43That's irrelevant.
16:45Irrelevant?
16:46To what I'm trying to say.
16:49You forget I've witnessed your violence at first hand on several occasions, even with other police officers.
16:55You're bound to have a rock. That's part of the job.
16:57You're building an image, Jack.
17:00A broken marriage, drinking, deliberate flouting of authority, the whole damn thing's symptomatic.
17:05Of what?
17:06A man who is heading for a fall.
17:07And this could be it.
17:08I didn't say that.
17:09No, you implied that.
17:11You've made a lot of enemies in the job, Jack.
17:14Can't you see that this is the kind of opportunity they're waiting for?
17:17I can name you a dozen senior officers who'd be glad to see you gone.
17:20They're not coppers. They're civil servants.
17:23They were out in the streets with their bikes 30 years ago.
17:26If a window was done then, it was a major crime.
17:29They don't understand. It's war. It's bloody war now.
17:33Will you stop a kid in a stolen car?
17:35You can't be sure he isn't tooled up and ready to blow your face off.
17:46Regan.
17:48You.
17:53Haskins.
17:55Yes, Mr. Wallace.
18:03Yes, I see.
18:06Yes, he's with me now.
18:08Yes, of course I will.
18:09Deacon is being operated on.
18:20What was wrong?
18:21A ruptured kidney.
18:23A doctor who examined him reported extensive bruising around the groin, the lower abdomen and in the area of the lower back.
18:29He also reported that the bruising was consistent with a severe and systematic beating.
18:38How is he, then, Phil?
18:39I had to operate.
18:40He, uh, lost a kidney.
18:41Oh, Christ.
18:42Will Dr. Davies please go to the nearest...
18:45How is he then, Phil?
18:51They had to operate.
18:53He lost a kidney.
18:55Oh, Christ.
18:57Yeah, there's complications too.
19:00Could go one way or the other.
19:02I'll just have to wait and see.
19:04They're serious.
19:06I'm sorry, Phil.
19:08I'm sorry.
19:09George.
19:11Cheers, Tom.
19:12It's not something to eat.
19:14It's up.
19:32Detective Sergeant Carter.
19:34Do I know you?
19:36John Fruy.
19:37The reporter?
19:39Hmm.
19:39Can I, uh, sit down?
19:43I think they're fully booked.
19:45I'm making inquiries about Andrew Deacon.
19:49Were you there when he was interrogated?
19:51Questioned.
19:52The same thing.
19:53Not the way you meant it.
19:55You seem a bit on edge.
19:56I'm hungry.
19:57Do you mind?
19:58Give us a gin and tonic.
19:59I'll have a bit, mate.
20:00What happened last night?
20:0432, 10, 42.
20:05Well, I went home.
20:06I was a bit late.
20:07My wife had the ump.
20:08My dinner was rotten.
20:09Andrew Deacon.
20:11He collapsed.
20:13Just like that?
20:14Yeah, just like that, as it happens.
20:16Were you with him at the time?
20:18Nope.
20:19Then how do you know?
20:19Because Inspector Regan told me, and I've no reason to disbelieve him.
20:24What would you do if some cop I kicked your brother's guts in?
20:28I reckon I'd give him a good kicking.
20:32That ain't enough, Stan.
20:35That ain't half enough.
20:37No, Phil, let me...
20:38Get the car.
20:39Was anyone else with them when he, uh, collapsed?
20:55No.
20:56So no one but Regan or Andrew Deacon can say what actually happened at the moment the boy's too ill to give his account?
21:04Is there going to be an inquiry?
21:06Should there be?
21:06Boy of 19 is arrested on suspicion by a senior flying squad officer, taken to a local police station for questioning, and four hours later he's in hospital undergoing renal surgery.
21:20Now, the doctor's report mentions severe bruising of the groin, lower abdomen, and back.
21:27If you weren't a policeman, Detective Sergeant Carter, what would you think?
21:29There's a restaurant down the road.
21:43That, uh, Scotch boy you know?
21:47Eddie Swan?
21:48Yeah.
21:50Yeah, is he, uh, still available?
21:52No idea, Phil.
21:54He's a bloody headcase.
21:55Stan.
21:58He's got no form, and he's out of town.
22:01Now, have you got his number?
22:03Phil.
22:04Andy's gonna be all right.
22:06He's a tough kid, you see.
22:07Are you going to phone him?
22:10Your cost?
22:12How much?
22:13Seven.
22:14Eight grand.
22:16Tell him ten.
22:17Ten?
22:19I want him down here, Stan.
22:21Tonight.
22:21Uh, Mr. Deacon?
22:40Who are you?
22:41John Fruin.
22:42I'm a journalist.
22:44How is your brother?
22:46I don't know till I've seen him, do I?
22:48Can we have a drink afterwards?
22:50Why?
22:50I want to talk to you.
22:52What about?
22:52Regan, the situation.
22:54No way.
22:55I want to help.
22:58I don't need you.
22:59You registered a complaint?
23:00No.
23:01You going to?
23:02What for?
23:04An inquiry.
23:06The law, investigating the law.
23:08They're as bent as a butcher's hook.
23:10I thought you lot accepted that by now.
23:12Look, what are you gonna do?
23:14Go away, Mr. Fruin.
23:15Have you and Regan ever been involved before?
23:17Involved.
23:19Well, you both have reputations.
23:21Look, I've tried to say it nicely.
23:24The public have a right to know.
23:26Can you tie it with broken hands?
23:28No.
23:30But I can telephone.
23:31George!
23:56George!
23:58George!
23:59You called?
24:05You know, I just had lunch with a fan of yours.
24:07Who?
24:07John Fruin.
24:09Yeah, he's looking for you.
24:10With his knife out.
24:11Yeah, I've heard of him.
24:13Didn't he do that piece about the special branch?
24:15Yeah, he likes riding white horses.
24:16What do you tell him?
24:17Oh, not a lot.
24:18Well, Dr. Lewis, please go to the dispensary.
24:39Dr. Lewis, to the dispensary.
24:41Hello, Chris.
24:57Anything?
24:58Not much, George.
24:59Everyone's stopped.
25:00Have you seen Frank?
25:01Same with him.
25:03Tent had a suggestion about time that garb had a haircut.
25:08Betty?
25:08Worth a visit.
25:11Yeah, cheers, Chris.
25:13Off.
25:15The bush before this heap turns into a pumpkin.
25:18Mr. Egan, Mr. Carter.
25:27Hello, Betty.
25:28How's business?
25:30Dreadful.
25:31I was only saying yesterday to one of me regulars.
25:33When money's tight, the last thing people think of is appearances.
25:36Look at it.
25:37I'll have to start selling paraffin soon.
25:39Do you know Andrew Deacon?
25:41He lives quite near.
25:43Have you heard?
25:44I heard something.
25:46What something?
25:47I'm sure it's malicious.
25:49He's heard.
25:50I don't believe a word of it, Mr. Egan.
25:52And that's the truth.
25:53Thanks.
25:54Him and his brother.
25:55That one's bloody mad.
25:56I can say it to you.
25:57Have you seen the boy around at all during the last few days?
26:00Couple of nights ago.
26:01Where?
26:01Just chance.
26:03I got this friend.
26:04Nice boy.
26:05American.
26:05Yeah, where'd you see him, Betty?
26:07A wine bar called Beldin's.
26:09Yeah, I know.
26:10It's newish, isn't it?
26:11I wouldn't know about that.
26:13Honest?
26:14Anyway, he was there.
26:16Was he with anyone?
26:17Some girl.
26:18Was this Wednesday night?
26:19About 7.30.
26:20They left before we did in that car of his.
26:23Flash little flob.
26:24Thanks, Betty.
26:25Anytime, Mr. Egan.
26:26Do you know that?
26:27Hey, would you like a shampoo?
26:29On the house.
26:30Just to keep your fingers in.
26:31No time, but thanks.
26:33Be careful.
26:34That Phil Deacon.
26:37Him and his brother are pretty close.
26:39Watch out for his minder.
26:40Stan Traynor.
26:41You know him?
26:42I've nicked him twice.
26:43Good flight?
27:00I don't like planes.
27:02Yeah.
27:03Was all a bit of a rush.
27:04I preferred trains myself.
27:10Booked you in at a good hotel.
27:15Did you get my messengers?
27:18Back seat.
27:19You seen this?
27:40John Fruin, I told you.
27:45You knew about this, Carter?
27:47Well, he talked to me.
27:49When?
27:50Lunchtime.
27:50What the hell did you say to him?
27:53Nothing, Garth.
27:53Nothing?
27:54I've been bloody careful not to name names.
27:56He's been very astute.
27:58The information, the innuendo, the tone of the whole piece.
28:01I'm going to pull this right up his nose.
28:05That's exactly what he wants.
28:07Did he say where he got the information?
28:09No, he might have a contact at the hospital.
28:10Or at the station, even.
28:11I'd like to meet this one.
28:13You'll leave him alone.
28:15Is that an order?
28:16Sir, it's a commandment.
28:19There he is.
28:20Get one.
28:27Who do you see?
28:30A copper.
28:33Goes with the name of Regan.
28:38What rank is there?
28:39Detective Inspector.
28:46What's he done?
28:47That's no concern of yours.
28:50Let me ask it.
28:51Yeah, well, I don't pay you to ask questions.
28:54Stan will fill you in the details.
28:56Where he lives, what boozes he uses, his contacts, that sort of thing.
29:01When you want it.
29:05When I say.
29:07And only when.
29:09You'll be.
29:11Too grand on account, wasn't it?
29:16You'll get the balance when I read the papers.
29:24I'll go away home by then.
29:29You'll get him.
29:32Right there.
29:37Angela Bailey.
29:3917.
29:40Uh-huh.
29:41Bailey.
29:41They left together.
29:43How long after?
29:43Juvenile.
29:45I see.
29:45Okay, Sam.
29:46Oh, we'll come round to you.
29:46No, don't be stupid.
29:47No names, of course.
29:48How long do you think it'll take?
29:48Tell her.
29:51Well, we'll get round to you about eight, all right?
29:54All right, see you then.
29:56They were in the Admiral to a closing time.
29:59Sam heard them talking.
30:00He reckons they went back to her place.
30:01Ben's checking the girl out now.
30:04Look, if Regan's done, they'll know it was you.
30:06I'll be in church, won't I?
30:08Yeah, you kill a coser, you take the lot on.
30:10I won't be doing anything.
30:11I'm a respectable citizen.
30:13Minding my own business.
30:15Phil, you know what I'm saying is right.
30:18They won't be able to prove a thing.
30:20They'd fit you up somehow.
30:22They are their ways.
30:24You know, you worry me sometimes, Stan.
30:25I mean, you hate the filth just as much as me.
30:30Regan's done you twice.
30:31Well, at least you know where you are with him.
30:33What are you trying to say, Stan?
30:34Let me fix Regan for you.
30:36My way.
30:36I guarantee he won't forget.
30:41I'm already in for two grand.
30:42I'll talk to Eddie.
30:46I think he's looking forward to it.
30:48Yeah, well, he ought to be in Broadmoor.
30:50I don't like it.
30:52I don't like any of it.
30:54It ain't your brother, though.
30:59Jack, you know I want to do anything I can to help.
31:02But it's privileged information.
31:04Look, love, I can get most of it from CRO, but it'd just take too long.
31:09Too many complications.
31:11I mean, I promise you I wouldn't ask you if he wasn't crucial.
31:14Well, as long as you understand.
31:16If there's any comeback, I'll take it, all right?
31:22She's been to court five times, from the age of 11 onwards.
31:27Shoplifting, drugs, last two times for prostitution.
31:31She's done four months at approved school.
31:33Where's she live?
31:37She shares with two other girls.
31:40If you like, I can arrange a meeting with Miss Battle.
31:42Well, she can tell you much more about Angela than I can.
31:44Is she Angela's P.O.?
31:45Knows her pretty well.
31:47How's the girl involved, Jack?
31:48She was with Deacon the night before we arrested him.
31:51As a customer or a friend.
31:53She's still a Tom?
31:54Miss Battle thinks she might be.
31:56I'd trust her intuition.
31:58If she tapped him, he wouldn't have spent the whole night with her, would he?
32:01How well organised is she?
32:03What do you mean?
32:04Is she just earning a bit on the side, or is she under a wing?
32:06I've no idea.
32:08I could find out for you, though.
32:12I could find out for you.
32:42A pub.
32:43The Admiral.
32:44Did Andy.
32:45What?
32:45Nothing.
32:53Where did you go after?
32:56Me?
32:56Both of you.
32:58I went home.
32:59Andy went to CMA.
33:01What time did you get back?
33:02Just before 12.
33:04Alone?
33:04I said.
33:06He didn't drive you back.
33:07I walked.
33:08Why didn't he drive you back?
33:09I've already told you.
33:11He went to meet a mate.
33:13And he let you walk home?
33:14I like to walk.
33:15Good morning.
33:31Good morning.
33:32Good of you to come. Please sit down.
33:34Yes, well, I haven't got a lot of time.
33:39What do you want?
33:41Your piece last night was irresponsible and totally fallacious.
33:46In what way?
33:47In its implication.
33:49I merely reported the facts.
33:51Rubbish.
33:52No journalist of quality merely reports facts.
33:55You set out quite deliberately to smear the squad.
33:59Do you still insist that Regan didn't touch that boy?
34:02I do.
34:03And the ruptured kidney, the bruises?
34:05That is being looked into.
34:06By whom?
34:07Inspector Regan.
34:10Oh, you have a delightful sense of the absurd, Mr. Haskins.
34:19I haven't known Andy long.
34:21We just go out, have a drink, a laugh.
34:25What else do you do?
34:27He doesn't come back, if that's what you mean.
34:29Oh, don't you like him?
34:30Of course I do.
34:31But you don't fancy him.
34:33It's not like that.
34:35Like what, Angela?
34:36I'm on probation.
34:38We know.
34:40And we know what for.
34:41He's got dirty minds.
34:43It helps in this job.
34:44You believe that beating took place at the hands of...
34:48More likely the feet.
34:49Of one of my officers?
34:50Regan.
34:51Why didn't you name him?
34:52I intend to.
34:54That would at least give Inspector Regan the opportunity to publicly clear his name in court.
34:58Don't give me that, Haskins.
35:00Don't think a little hot breath from you is going to put me off.
35:03You know exactly what will happen.
35:05He'll be put discreetly away in some drawer until the screams off.
35:09And then brought out, dusted off, wound up, and put back on the streets again.
35:14And no one will remember.
35:15Except perhaps Andrew Deacon.
35:18Today's headline, tomorrow's chip wrapper.
35:20What a disturbing self-indictment of your profession.
35:23Well, at least it's a self-indictment.
35:26I mean, your profession is the protection of society.
35:30And the individuals that go to make up that society.
35:32And yet you condone.
35:34And even try to conceal an act of premeditated violence.
35:36I am neither condoning nor concealing anything.
35:39Regan is a violent man.
35:42He has a reputation.
35:43Even amongst his fellow officers.
35:45Inspector Regan is one of the best officers in the squad.
35:49Regan isn't the only one.
35:50How many times have you seen suspects carried from the interview room?
35:55It would be naive of me to say never.
35:57But it's not like you would have the public believe.
36:00You are an extremist.
36:02Well, you have to be.
36:03To make them listen.
36:04Listen to what?
36:06The truth.
36:08As I see it.
36:09Perhaps I should point out, Mr. Fruin.
36:12That both Inspector Regan and I are members of the public.
36:16Citizens.
36:17Just like you and Andrew Deacon.
36:21We have the same makeup of emotions.
36:23The same survival instincts.
36:25The same rights.
36:27The same protections.
36:28And the same access to justice.
36:30What are you trying to say?
36:32Simply put up or shut up.
36:34If you can give me some sort of evidence that Jack Regan gave that kid a-kicking,
36:38I will personally bury him.
36:40What happened, Angela?
36:52Wednesday night.
36:53I told you.
36:54I don't believe you.
36:56Now, why are you lying?
36:58I'm not.
36:58Well, we just thought you'd want to help, that's all.
37:02We went for a drink, that's all.
37:04That's not all.
37:05He took you home.
37:06No.
37:07He stayed the night.
37:08No.
37:08Look, someone, sometime between you leaving that pub at closing time and us arresting him
37:14the next day, gave Andy a ruptured kidney.
37:16No.
37:17Well, how can you be so sure?
37:18Because you did it.
37:20It said so, in a paper.
37:23Everyone knows who I am.
37:24They don't write it unless it's true.
37:25You did it.
37:27You were Andy.
37:28Why can't I speak to Regan?
37:31Orders.
37:32Whose?
37:34Gods.
37:36What's got frightened of the truth?
37:38It requires as much caution to tell the truth as to conceal it.
37:42It's very articulate, Mr. Haskins.
37:45Not my words.
37:46Gracian.
37:47Well, no.
37:49Don't forget.
37:50Late edition, my treat.
37:58Hello, love.
38:01Is she cooperating?
38:03There's something she's not telling us.
38:05You know what you're asking me about, Angela?
38:07Whether there was a pimp.
38:08There was.
38:09It was never proved, but she was living with him in his house the last time she was charged.
38:13What's his name?
38:14Lindbergh Ria.
38:16Ria?
38:17R-E-A.
38:19Thought it might help.
38:21Yeah.
38:22Thanks.
38:23Do you want me to talk to the girl?
38:24No.
38:25At least not at the moment.
38:26Well, look, love, I'll see you later.
38:29All right.
38:41Lindbergh Ria.
38:44Hadn't you better tell me before you're in trouble?
38:48He...
38:48He saw us coming out.
38:50Of the park?
38:51I haven't seen or spoken to him for months.
38:54It's the truth.
38:54I've had nothing to do with him or his sort.
38:58I believe you.
39:00Now I want the rest.
39:02He was in the car.
39:04When he saw me, he stopped.
39:06Then what happened?
39:07Nothing.
39:08Come on, love.
39:09Andy told him to leave me alone.
39:11Big brother would see to that.
39:13Nothing happened.
39:14I swear.
39:16We got into Andy's car and drove back to my place.
39:18Did Ria follow you?
39:20No.
39:21They went in the opposite direction.
39:23They?
39:23There were three of them in Limbert's car.
39:25Who were the other two?
39:26I don't know.
39:28I don't.
39:32Did Deacon stay the night?
39:34Yeah.
39:35What time did he leave?
39:38About 11 o'clock next morning.
39:41Do you know where Ria's living now?
39:43Not in the air somewhere.
39:45Do you know where Ria?
40:09Where Ria?
40:13Let's go.
40:43Let's go.

44:08George!
44:09George!
44:10George!
44:11George!
44:12Sure you had a straightener?
44:14He ain't gonna bring no black sister smile for a while.
44:19Get his statement, George.
44:21Charging with assault on police
44:22and possessing an offensive weapon.
44:26Send this down to the drug squad for analysis.
44:29Hey, you said no heavy number with him if I told you.
44:33I'm a liar.
44:35I got home in a cab.
44:37I was passing blood.
44:38I drank most of a bottle of scotch and took some Panadol.
44:45The pain eased and I must have nodded off.
44:48It was dark when I woke up.
44:52So I went out to get another bottle of scotch
44:54and the next thing I knew I was nicked.
44:59Look, Phil, I know what it must have looked like,
45:03but Regan never touched me.
45:05I was nicked.
45:08The booze and the pills wore off.
45:14And I just folded up.
45:19Why didn't you phone?
45:22I reckon they'll be all right.
45:26Who is this black hammer?
45:27His name is Ria.
45:39I know him.
45:40Then I have a word with him, Stan.
45:42I owe you an apology.
45:53Not me.
45:54Inspector Regan.
45:58I spoke to the hospital.
46:00Andrew Deacon is out of intensive care.
46:02Well, that's good news.
46:03There's not much I can say.
46:08I don't regret what I printed.
46:10I thought it was right.
46:11It wasn't.
46:12This time.
46:15Mr. Fruin.
46:21Yes.
46:22Well, I suppose I ask for that.
46:24Euston station.
46:38Euston station.
46:38Why didn't the boy's brother file a complaint?
46:55I mean, in the circumstances, from what you told me about him.
47:00Very strange, Phil Deacon.
47:03Odd.
47:05In what way?
47:07Unpredictable.
47:09Like you?
47:10If things had turned out different, it would probably send somebody round.
47:14To talk to you?
47:16You could put it like that.
47:22Zombie.
47:24A corpse said to be revived by witchcraft.
47:27Very impressive.
47:30Did I ever tell you about that parrot that got locked in the morgue?
47:35No.
47:36Which is true.
47:37You can ask George Carter.
47:38He's a worse liar than you are.
47:40George and I had to go round this morgue to identify an old paraffin who got killed by drink.
47:46When we got there, there was this bloody big parrot sitting on a slab.
47:51Really?
47:51No.
47:52And I'll see you in the morgue.
47:52Power.
47:53I was excited.
47:53Okay, political.
47:54Bye.
47:54Bye.
47:54Bye.
48:17Bye.
48:17Bye.
48:18Bye.
48:19Bye.
48:20Bye.
48:20Bye.
48:20Bye.
