00:00You like it, sir?
00:14Yes, I like it very much.
00:18But?
00:19Well, you wouldn't ask me to buy a bicycle with any one wheel, would you?
00:23A bicycle? I don't understand, sir.
00:25What good is Lady Hamilton without Lord Nelson?
00:30Was the Battle of the Nile fought in vain?
00:33Unfortunately, I sold it.
00:38You sold Lord Nelson?
00:40Regretfully, at least my assistant did.
00:43That's tragic.
00:45Excuse me, sir. Perhaps we could try to reacquire it.
00:48How do you mean, miss?
00:51We could call the purchaser, ask him if he'd agree to resell.
00:55Is that possible?
00:58Well, yes, it's possible.
01:00He was staying at the Dorchester. I remember he was going to be there another week.
01:04Could you, er...
01:06Would you call him for me?
01:10Why not?
01:12I've got him.
01:14What's his name?
01:15Stackpole.
01:16Ah, yes.
01:17Er, Mr Stackpole?
01:18Leonard Giesley here.
01:18I've got him.
01:20I've got him.
01:21What's his name?
01:22Stackpole.
01:23Ah, yes.
01:24Er, Mr Stackpole?
01:25Leonard Giesley here.
01:26I've got him.
01:27What's his name?
01:28Stackpole.
01:29Ah, yes.
01:30Er, Mr Stackpole?
01:31Leonard Giesley here.
01:33I've called you about the nursing chair.
01:36It's in the safe, in the back.
01:39Yes.
01:40Beautiful.
01:40No, sir!
01:42I'm sorry, I'm delighted with it.
01:44Simply delighted.
01:45You wouldn't be interested in selling it back to us, I suppose.
01:48Ah, you wouldn't.
01:50What did he pay for it?
01:52250.
01:53Offering 300.
01:56Er, not at, say, 300 pounds?
02:00I see.
02:02I might be able to stretch to 400.
02:07I'm sorry, but, er...
02:09I like it.
02:11I want to keep it.
02:12450.
02:19That's my last offer.
02:24My last and final word, 450 pounds.
02:30You will?
02:31Oh, that's excellent.
02:34Nice and easy, darling.
02:35Nice and easy, darling.
02:37Nice and easy, darling.
02:41Nice and easy, darling.
02:43As evidence of my good faith.
02:45It really isn't necessary, sir.
02:46A gentleman's blood.
02:47No, no, no, no, I insist.
02:50Ms King?
02:53Nice and easy does it, nice and easy does it all the time.
03:23I love you, I love you, I love you.
03:53I love you, I love you.
04:23I love you, I love you.
04:53I love you.
05:23I love you.
05:25I love you.
05:27I love you.
05:29I love you.
05:31I love you.
05:33I love you.
05:35I love you.
05:37I love you.
05:39I love you.
05:41I love you.
05:43I love you.
05:45I love you.
05:47I love you.
05:49I love you.
05:51I love you.
05:53I love you.
05:55I love you.
05:57I love you.
05:59I love you.
06:01I love you.
06:03I love you.
06:05I love you.
06:07I love you.
06:09I love you.
06:11I love you.
06:13I remember.
06:15Anything?
06:17It's all quiet on the Western Avenue.
06:19Hello, George.
06:21Listen, Governor, this snout of yours, is he any good?
06:26The sharpest is in West One. Mr Spock, they call it.
06:30He's pretty reliable, George.
06:32Yeah, but the question is, how much longer can we afford to wait?
06:35A couple of days, OK?
06:42Cole?
06:43Ray?
06:44You don't speak Portuguese, do you?
06:47No.
06:47So how was it you made out with the chicks in Rio and I didn't?
06:54I don't know, Ray.
06:57I even took lessons.
07:00Lessons?
07:01Practised on me own.
07:04You practised?
07:06Fosay Thai fosters. Do you have fosters?
07:12That's pretty salty dialogue, Ray.
07:15Is that when she bit you on the night?
07:17Hey.
07:28Very public-spirited.
07:30Tight bastard.
07:32Don't be like that.
07:33It's a goya.
07:35In here.
07:36Can it breathe all right in there?
07:39Ray.
07:40Cool.
07:41It's a painting.
07:43Ah, what didn't you say? I like a nice picture.
07:46Yeah.
07:47Keys?
07:48Geissler has both of them.
07:51What's the, uh...
07:53What's the security like here?
07:56Junior League Fort Knox.
07:58Alarm wire down the glass.
08:01Pressure pads.
08:03Alarm bells, mains and emergency power.
08:06Secondary system with a direct line to the fuzz.
08:08Nancy, Hannah's been good knowing you.
08:10Don't be in such a hurry.
08:11I haven't brought you this far for nothing.
08:13Yeah, I thought we were sticking our nets.
08:14No, no, we're wasting our time.
08:15You need...
08:16You need raffles.
08:18And who have you got?
08:19Ned Kelly.
08:20And son.
08:26Nancy, there's nothing we'd like better than...
08:28A professor is flying up from the Prado in Madrid to give it the OK.
08:33Why, boy.
08:34When Geissler leaves here to meet him at Sotheby's with the picture, he'll go by bus from out there.
08:41Are you sure?
08:41Hundred percent.
08:42He just did.
08:43We saw him.
08:44Little man with string in a brown paper parcel.
08:47Who would expect it to be worth a fortune?
08:49And why isn't the, uh, the professor coming here?
08:53Geissler's scared, publicity, etc.
08:55Also, this way he doesn't have to pick up the bill.
08:58And, uh, how do we know it is a Goya?
09:01You don't.
09:02I do.
09:04How?
09:05Goya's my bag.
09:06Convince me.
09:07It's the incomplete version of a self-portrait.
09:09One he painted in 1816 when he was 70.
09:13The other version, the complete one, hangs in Vienna.
09:15Ah, olé.
09:17Right.
09:18Next question.
09:19What is it worth?
09:22On a bad day...
09:25A quarter of a million pounds.
09:27And on a good day?
09:30You know, I think I could get to light, Goya.
09:33Hey, you haven't been raiding my source, have you, George?
09:36No, not good, are you?
09:38Oh, some greedy swoon's been helping himself.
09:41Not only that, the cheeky bastard keeps moving the phone to the wrong side of the desk.
09:47Southpaw.
09:48Who is?
09:49Your Phantom Boozer.
09:50How'd you make that up?
09:51Well, it's easy, isn't it?
09:53Look, use this the phone with the right hand, rights with the left hand, pause the drink with the left hand.
09:58Got it?
10:05George?
10:06Now, this affects you as well.
10:08Apparently, Jack, our Australian friends are back in town.
10:11Colin Ray?
10:13I don't mean Lillian Thompson.
10:16I don't believe it.
10:17They flew into Shannon.
10:18Came in by a holly head.
10:20They've been hiding up in South America.
10:21What, with a 10 to 15 years stretch for armed robbery hanging over their heads?
10:24Why not?
10:25They got away with it last time.
10:26Yeah, don't remind me.
10:28They must be out of their bloody minds.
10:30Identikit pictures.
10:31Magruder, apparently, once sold a sundial outside the Sydney Botanical Gardens 17 times in one weekend.
10:40He was a juvenile at the time.
10:42Well, I should have topped him then.
10:43Saved us a lot of trouble.
10:53A quarter of a million smackers.
10:57Yeah?
10:58That's on a bad day.
11:00Are you sure we can trust Nancy?
11:03Well, why not?
11:05Well, she's a sheiler.
11:08Have you never met one you could trust?
11:11She's bright.
11:12She knows about painting.
11:14What's she want to go bent for?
11:16Well, apart from the old animal charm.
11:19Oh, yeah.
11:20Mine, of course.
11:22Of course.
11:23Oh, she's in for 50 big ones.
11:24She's tired of playing with other people's pictures.
11:27Now she wants to play with some of her own.
11:28Ladies and gentlemen, our starboard bow.
11:32Over the right-hand side for the North Siders, we have the distinctive dime of St. Paul's Canadian.
11:37I'm thinking of putting Harry Johnson's squab on it.
11:40Well, we know more about him than anybody, Guff.
11:43Descriptions, M.O., contacts?
11:45Yeah, of course we do.
11:46Let Jono have the supermarket job.
11:48No, we go through with that tonight as arranged.
11:50And tomorrow?
11:52All right.
11:53Tomorrow.
11:54Thanks, Guff.
11:55Just one word of warning.
11:57It was me they fitted up, my retirement job that was screwed, me with Egg on his face in the commander's office, right?
12:03I'll get the picture.
12:05Good.
12:10So they're back.
12:11Give it a Johnson.
12:13I should cook, huh?
12:14You dreamt about those two, haven't you?
12:16Nightmares.
12:17Big bristles?
12:19Melons.
12:20Water?
12:21Honeydew?
12:21Or cantaloupe?
12:22You know your prince, don't you, Ray?
12:25Used to work for a greengrocer.
12:27Could she cook?
12:28You know something, Ray?
12:29I never asked.
12:31Not once in four months.
12:34Not once.
12:38Hello?
12:42Ladies and gentlemen, on the right-hand side we have HMS Discovery, the ship that went to the South Pole.
12:49Of course, Captain Scott paid more than you, but then he didn't have to get off at Charing Cross Pier.
13:42V. Take away your 250, and my 50 pounds deposit, that leaves 150 pounds profit.
13:52As Mr. McCorber would have said, chicken feed.
13:56No, Ray, Mr. McCorber wouldn't have said chicken feed.
13:59I still don't see why we bother.
14:00We are bothering, Raymond V. Stankhole, because this routine is as old as God.
14:07And?
14:08And Mr. Geisler fell for it.
14:10Geisler.
14:11You say Geisler.
14:12And I say Geisler.
14:13All right, now, now, now, now, now, but the point is he fell for it, right?
14:16Right.
14:17Well, that means we've got his measure.
14:18That means we're not going to blow out on the job.
14:21I'm still not shook up on the whole thing.
14:25Two fives, please.
14:26Could you cash a check for 450 pounds?
14:29Either pay your fare or get off.
14:31He says either.
14:33And we say either.
14:34You say Geisler.
14:35And I say, Geisler, Geisler, Geisler, either, either, I think we better get home.
15:05Geisler, Geisler, Geisler.
15:35Geisler, Geisler, Geisler, Geisler.
16:05Geisler, Geisler, Geisler, Geisler.
16:15Geisler, Geisler.
16:23Come on. Come on, come on.
16:29Come on.
16:31Hey, hey, come on.
16:35Hey, hey.
16:38Get me out, otherwise it always me out.
16:42Hey, hey, hey, come on.
16:44What are you doing, Governor?
16:47I want to make him talk.
16:49What for?
16:50I want to hear his voice.
16:51Why?
16:52I want to see if he's got an Australian accent.
16:56Governor, can't it wait?
16:58Come on, you slag.
17:00Wake up.
17:01Come on.
17:03Hey, come on, wake up.
17:06Yeah.
17:21Don't decide in a hurry.
17:22Think about it.
17:23If you like it, take it with you.
17:24Keep it for a couple of days.
17:25Yes.
17:26Yes, I see.
17:27Excuse me, sir.
17:28Yes?
17:29News about Professor Boris.
17:30They want to talk to you.
17:31Ah, thank you.
17:32Would you excuse me for a moment?
17:33Leonard Giesler?
17:34I think you should arrive in some place.
17:35I think you should arrive in some place.
17:36I think you should arrive in some place.
17:37Excuse me, sir.
17:38Yes?
17:39News about Professor Boris.
17:40They want to talk to you.
17:41Ah, thank you.
17:42Would you excuse me for a moment?
17:43Leonard Giesler.
17:44Arriving Thursday.
17:45That's excellent.
17:46Shall we fix a date now?
17:4711 o'clock Friday morning.
17:48I'll be there.
17:50Australia?
17:51Gov, I've never even been to Manchester.
17:54Where do you get the sun tank?
17:55Fishing.
17:56Honest to God.
17:57Where?
17:58Deal.
17:59Do you know any Aussies?
18:00I'll never find the sun tank.
18:01Fishing.
18:02Fishing.
18:03Honest to God.
18:04Where?
18:05Deal.
18:06Do you know any Aussies?
18:07I'll never find the sun tank.
18:10Fishing.
18:11Honest to God.
18:12Where?
18:13Deal.
18:14Do you know any Aussies?
18:16I've never met one in me life.
18:18What would I want with Australians?
18:20What would any of us?
18:22I hope you're telling me the truth, son.
18:24I am!
18:25Straight up.
18:26I warn you.
18:28If I find out I'm being lied to, I'm not a very pleasant man to know.
18:32Right, George?
18:33Right, Governor.
18:34I'm not lying.
18:35Where's me gear?
18:37The lab.
18:38What are you looking for?
18:40Your blood, gel ignite, toffee papers.
18:44This is a set up.
18:46Labels.
18:47Like labels that say made in Australia.
18:49I swear you've got a thing about Australia.
18:52What have I done to you?
18:55Take him away, son.
19:03You'll end up thinking he's Don Bradman, that one.
19:05I'll tell you he's round a twist.
19:16What a gorgeous sunset.
19:18It's like looking down a beetroot.
19:20Sitting on my piano, D-O-D-D.
19:24I suppose he was Australian and all.
19:29Well known for it.
19:30He was one of the Darwin Durantes.
19:32Did load Durantes.
19:40What is it?
19:41Don't you trust me?
19:43All right, I'll level with you.
19:50It's, er, Ray.
19:55You wouldn't believe it, would you?
19:5665 inches of solid suspicion.
19:59Suspicion of what?
20:03That you might be working for the cops.
20:07Me?
20:08We agreed to wait for the right one to come up.
20:10Yeah, well you might have been gone at in between.
20:12You know, the, er, the bleating kid tied to the foot of the tree.
20:18Going to all the trouble of cabling you in Rio?
20:20Yeah, why not?
20:21The fuzz don't like your poking mullick at them.
20:25So I've, er, I've got an artist to fudge up a few questions for you.
20:33When do I get to put your references to the test?
20:35Darling, I thought you'd never ask.
20:39Shoot.
20:40What was Rembrandt's real name?
20:43Rembrandt Harmanzun van Ryn.
20:46Now you know why he painted such large canvases.
20:49When did he die?
20:51Oh, 1670ish.
20:551669.
20:58What was Rembrandt's objection to using Prussian blue?
21:02No objection.
21:03Except he died in 69 and Prussian blue wasn't discovered until 1704.
21:08How'd I do?
21:13Now, sincerely, folks, the little lady has won an Instamatic camera, an electric blanket and a night on the town with an Australian bush ranger.
21:20They were hot in sports, remember?
21:24Yeah, swimming pools, tennis clubs, got that.
21:27But what about the Escort Road? Every other cup was a Bruce or a Gwen.
21:33They'll avoid that like the plague.
21:35I'll check the Interpol list again.
21:38Jack, the commander was looking for you.
21:41Oh?
21:42Relax, he was looking quite pleased.
21:44Makes a change.
21:45He liked the way you handled the supermarket, Blag.
21:47Did you hear, by the way, they both got formed?
21:49Yeah, we heard.
21:51What are you doing?
21:53I'm trying to build a kangaroo trap.
21:55Yeah, well, don't let her become a vendetta, Jack.
21:59Remember that a vindictive cop I...
22:00He's no good to his old mum, I know.
22:03What's the matter?
22:04Is your pride hurting?
22:06It's partly that.
22:09I don't like the way they give the impression that they're lovable jokers, colonial clowns.
22:13They're not.
22:14They're vicious.
22:15They carry a shotgun.
22:18No need to frighten people.
22:19I'll be your age, George.
22:20If you carry a gun, you're gonna end up using it.
22:22I want them banged away before that happens.
22:25Yes, all right, Jack.
22:26But just remember, it isn't open season on tourists, OK?
22:29Yes, Scott.
22:34What's the matter with the nose, George?
22:37A boil?
22:40No, I forgot to duck.
22:44I never saw you a Serrano de Bergeret.
22:46Wonderful, innit?
22:47Eve and Edie in the canteen.
22:48She said, do you want some mustard on it?
22:50I see.
22:51All ship shape and, er, Bristol fashion.
22:53Oh, no, no, no.
22:54Oh, no.
22:55Yikes.
22:56I'm so sorry.
22:57Oh.
22:58Oh, no.
22:59Oh, you're not.
23:00Oh, no.
23:01Oh, no.
23:03Oh, no.
23:04Oh, no.
23:06Oh, no, yes.
23:07Oh, no, yes.
23:08Oh, no.
23:09Oh, no.
23:10Oh, no.
23:11Oh, no.
23:12Oh, no, no.
23:13Oh, no.
23:14Oh, no.
23:15Oh, no, no, no.
23:16I see. All ship-shape and, uh, Bristol-fashioned.
23:25Have you come about the radar?
23:27No, about the, uh, the Goyard.
23:30Message to Fortissimo, please.
23:32Dad?
23:33Keep your voice down.
23:38Hey, it's, uh, it's a nice craft.
23:43Yeah, it's very trim.
23:46Sit down, Mr. McGruder.
23:57Did you bring the photo?
24:06It's an incomplete picture.
24:08Yeah, story is it was a dry run for the other version.
24:12Of course, you realise it once stolen, it'll be impossible to sell this to any
24:15reputable dealer in Europe or the USA.
24:18Well, that's why I'm selling it to a disreputable one.
24:20Well, obviously, uh, a dishonest dealer.
24:23But Mr. Goldman!
24:23Stop snowing me.
24:29Name your price, eh?
24:34You name yours.
24:36Well, the gallery, we're talking about half a million.
24:40Pounds?
24:42Not brass washers.
24:43Now, we'll accept, uh, 200,000.
24:48You must be.
24:49I don't haggle.
24:49You're talking as though 200 grand grew on trees.
24:54That's a bit, uh, it's a bit tart for my taste.
24:58Where do you think I'm going to find somebody to, to buy a stolen Goyard?
25:02Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:04Oh, well, that shouldn't be difficult.
25:06Tell me.
25:07Well, let's start with the A's, shall we?
25:10Uh, uh, Argentina.
25:13Now, he's known in the business as, uh, as Mr. Gloat.
25:15He spends millions on pictures which nobody ever sees.
25:18No, no, no, he's a bit, he's a bit mad.
25:20He's paying you?
25:21I thought so.
25:23Yeah, an air-conditioned bomb-proof seller with wall-to-wall old masters.
25:27The world's greatest rip-off out-collection.
25:32You are well informed.
25:34Hey, Goldie, what big ears I do have.
25:37I can't get the money to you here.
25:40I don't want it here.
25:42I want it in Amsterdam, in Uncut Stones,
25:45and I want two passages for Friday.
25:48You want a lot, Mr. Magruder.
25:51I am offering a lot.
25:55Fire!
25:57It's here.
26:02Hey, can't you read?
26:03We're closed.
26:04Where's your contact lenses, Kath?
26:06Oh, can't be bothering with them.
26:08Who is it?
26:12Am I getting clearer?
26:14Your voice is familiar.
26:15Kath, you don't need lenses.
26:17You need a white stick.
26:18Jack Regan, is it?
26:19Is it?
26:20Of course it is.
26:21How's yourself, Jack?
26:22Full of agro.
26:25What's causing it?
26:26I'm glad you've asked me that.
26:29Two Aussie boys.
26:32We've done all this.
26:34They're back.
26:38They haven't set a foot in here.
26:40They're not likely to, are they?
26:42They'll keep clear of the Aussie circuit.
26:43They're not that stupid.
26:44David, so what's the word?
26:49Well, the only thing I've heard.
26:51Yeah?
26:53And it is hearsay.
26:54What's your language, love?
26:57One of the other girls got a part-time job down the library.
27:00She's seen call down there.
27:02And?
27:02He's cluing himself up on painting.
27:04A house painting?
27:06Interior decorating?
27:07Oh.
27:08Pictures.
27:10Oils.
27:12Watercolours, what have you.
27:13Yeah, that figures.
27:15Last time it was gold.
27:17This time it's art.
27:19They're probably going to knock off the Tate.
27:21Too right.
27:24What are you thinking about?
27:29Leningrad.
27:29Leningrad.
27:34322 art galleries.
27:3715 miles of them.
27:40Yep, 3 million works of art.
27:43Don't you need a visa for Russia?
27:46Visa?
27:47Don't bog down with details.
27:49Get the broad skull.
27:51Think big.
27:52Give the cat another goldfish.
27:55Whoa.
27:59What are you doing, Governor?
28:02Food shoe powder.
28:04What for?
28:05He's been at my Scotch again.
28:07I'm going to nail him this time.
28:09Oh, well, thanks for warning us.
28:11Oh, sorry, Josh.
28:11No, I'd love to cop an earful of that, wouldn't I?
28:13I was going to tell you.
28:15Here's that list.
28:16Right.
28:23It's the Tate, Royal Academy, National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Queen's Gallery.
28:28Where's that?
28:29Buckingham Palace.
28:30Yeah, it's about their mark, that is.
28:33Yeah, the Wallace Collection, the Courthold Institute, Kenwood House.
28:36There's got to be a bird.
28:38Do what?
28:39A girl.
28:40How'd you know that?
28:42Well, there was last time.
28:43What, and the leopard never changes his wasna?
28:45Yeah, there's got to be a bird.
29:15OK.
29:21Paul.
29:22Ray.
29:24Can I ask a question?
29:25Anything.
29:27Where does all the money go?
29:29I don't honestly know, Ray.
29:30It's like asking where do the flies go in the winter.
29:35Paul.
29:36Ray.
29:37Where do the flies go in the winter?
29:41Home.
29:44Good luck, Skipper.
29:46Toodlepip, old man.
30:07I hope your bus arrives on time. Obviously you won't be back for lunch today.
30:15Ah, in which case I shall need some money. I'll just slip out to the bank.
30:19Take your credit cards.
30:20Oh, yes. Yes. Yes, I can do that, I suppose.
30:24I should hurry up if I will use the Spanish as sticklers for punctuality.
30:28Well, the British aren't.
30:37Well, my dear, wish me luck.
31:01I do, I do.
31:02A fortune and a footnote in the textbooks.
31:05I'll settle for that.
31:08Your bus, Mr Giesler.
31:10PHONE RINGS
31:14PHONE RINGS
31:15Sorry, you've got the wrong number.
31:17Oh.
31:30Upstairs, if I will, sir.
31:32An old drunk's just thrown up inside.
31:34Oh.
31:36Grüß Gotti.
31:37My pleasure.
31:38How tight?
31:39Oh, my dear, Mr. Giesler.
31:40Good morning, Mr. Giesler.
31:41Hey, Mr. Giesler.
31:42Jede Giesler.
31:43Hey, I'll be ready to go out.
31:44Oh.
31:45Hey, I'll be ready to go out.
31:46Oh, yes.
31:47Oh.
31:48Hey, dear.
31:49Oh.
31:50Oh, come on here.
31:52Peace, peace.
32:22Nice and easy does it. Nice and easy does it. All the time.
32:41So etwas gemeines. So etwas ist mir überhaupt noch nie passiert.
32:45Ja, ich komme daher. Ich bin doch, ich bin doch in dem Puckigam-Palast.
32:49Haben Sie schon so etwas gesehen? Ja, wirft mich heraus aus dem Pass. Ich werde mich beschwert.
33:12Targeted.
33:13Haskins.
33:18A Goya painting, yes.
33:21And a what?
33:22A London Transport double-decker bus.
33:25Are you sure?
33:28Yes, well, a bus I can visualise.
33:31Get me a description of the painting.
33:33Subject matter, size, value, etc., right?
33:35Any itches?
33:54Smooth as silk.
33:56That's poetry.
33:57That's poetry.
33:59Is that it?
34:00Yeah, or £200,000 worth of it.
34:03Say, good care of it.
34:04S.S. Malacca.
34:10Sales on a five o'clock tide.
34:13I'll see you in Amsterdam, Mr. Goldman.
34:20You meet a nice set of people in this business.
34:23Yep.
34:24Well, I think we've done a good morning's work, right?
34:26And not even 11.15.
34:28If only we could do a 40-hour week.
34:30Specialisation, that's the name of the game.
34:33Hello, hello.
34:36Hello.
34:42It's them, isn't it?
34:44Yes, go.
34:46Don't have a word.
34:46Do you manage to get a look at them at all, sir?
34:55No.
34:56How much is the painting worth?
34:59A quarter of a million.
35:01Come again, sir.
35:02A quarter of a million.
35:03What size is it?
35:0818 by 25.
35:10Have you got a shop or are you a collector?
35:12A gallery.
35:20All right, take him away.
35:21I'll talk to him later.
35:22You go with him.
35:29Gardner.
35:30All these were left on the bus.
35:32Well, there's nine million of those sold every year.
35:36They cost him with a five-year-sworth of silver.
35:39Slice monkeys.
35:40It's happening again, isn't it?
35:43Is he making a bus?
35:44Yeah, they would.
35:45Would I get anything out of him?
35:52No, not a lot, no.
35:56A girl.
35:57There's got to be a girl in this somewhere.
36:01Well, stay here and see what you're going to find out.
36:03Yeah, if anything.
36:04Then join me at Giesler's, Giesler's Gallery.
36:07Giesler's Gallery, all right.
36:07All right.
36:15Tell you, Arbor Master, we want to pay up and sail as soon as possible.
36:32I'm sorry, sir, the gallery's closed.
36:33Not to me.
36:34It's now Detective Inspector Regan, Flying Squad.
36:39You going somewhere, miss?
36:41To the country.
36:42Long weekend.
36:43Feels low.
36:45May I?
36:52No.
36:54Sorry.
36:57Now, which country are we talking about?
37:03Amsterdam.
37:04Don't you need a warrant?
37:05No, not as you invited me.
37:07I did not ask you in.
37:11How dare you come in here without a warrant?
37:14Cancel it.
37:14Your hire car to the airport.
37:21It broke down.
37:23So where do you meet the boys?
37:25Boys?
37:25I'm sorry, Inspector.
37:27I don't know what you're talking about.
37:28Colin and Ray.
37:29I still don't know.
37:32That tick in the corner of your eye.
37:34I sometimes get that when I'm tired.
37:36I'm more nervous.
37:38Who said anything about being nervous?
37:42Dry.
37:46George?
37:47Did he croak?
37:48Who?
37:49Geissler.
37:50Yeah, not many, before the ambulance arrived.
37:57You mean dead?
37:58That's right, Miss.
37:59They smashed his head in.
38:01Cracked it like an eggshell.
38:04Who's his next of kin?
38:06What?
38:07Next of kin.
38:08Wife.
38:08Kids.
38:09Who do we contact?
38:10It was only supposed to knock him out.
38:11That's all it did do.
38:13Knocked him out permanently.
38:14So now you're an accessory to murder as well.
38:18I'm sorry.
38:19Funny thing.
38:21They're always sorry.
38:22When they're caught.
38:22Oh, yeah.
38:24When?
38:26I'll talk.
38:27Everything I know.
38:29What a performance.
38:31Even I thought Geissler had snuffed it.
38:33I should have been an actor.
38:34Oh, yeah.
38:35Nice and easy does it.
38:45Nice and easy does it.
38:47Nice and easy does it.
38:50All the time.
38:53That lawn, sir, is worth a tidy few thousand pounds to me.
38:57Yeah, well, you get it back.
38:58Are you sure there were ozzers?
39:00Oh, no doubt about it.
39:01Well, Colin Ray, how long ago was this?
39:04Oh, ah.
39:06Ah, and half, not more.
39:08Hey, look at that.
39:09Cockshade's orange pippin'.
39:11Keeps the tobacco sweet, you know.
39:13Which way were they heading?
39:16Containerisation.
39:17It's changing the face of the river.
39:19Which way?
39:21Oh, downriver, I'd say.
39:24Towerbridge.
39:25Get beyond that and it's straight on, innit?
39:26What is?
39:27The open sea.
39:29All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.
39:34How much fuel have they got?
39:35Ah.
39:37There's the rub.
39:38Look, Mr Greenhead, the longer we stand about nattering, the less chance we've got of catching them.
39:42Or of getting your launch back.
39:44Well, they started off early.
39:45The boys, I mean.
39:47And I've done a couple of jobs since.
39:48One was a wedding up at St Brian's.
39:50How much fuel?
39:52Tower, beer.
39:53Top weight.
39:54Try and make it to St Catherine's Yachthaven.
40:07It's through the bridge on the left.
40:09It should have been fuller.
40:10Don't get it.
40:11Yeah, well, don't worry about that now.
40:14Goldman, you might still be there.
40:17No, here be gone.
40:18Hey, Traders' Yachthaven, what a place to conk out.
40:24Well, we just have to rely on the old Ruger.
40:28And our friends.
40:31After Tower Bridge, most of the warehouses are closed.
40:54For demolition.
40:55Easy place to hide up.
40:57Dead easy.
41:01Round, round, round.
41:19Right.
41:31Next right.
41:47Right, where do you go with George?
41:51Over there!
42:01Well, right.
42:04As they say in England,
42:06looks as how it shanks his pony again.
42:07Ha, ha, ha.
42:08Good boy!
42:34A car!
43:02A car!
43:03Hey!
43:06Go!
43:07Go!
43:13Come on!
43:14Let him have a double bite.
43:25Hey!
43:25No!
43:26No!
43:26No!
43:27No!
43:27No!
43:28No!
43:28No!
43:29No!
43:29No!
43:30No!
43:31No!
43:31No!
43:31No!
43:31No!
43:32Oh, my God.
44:02Ray, Ray, Ray, Ray!
44:04Ray!
44:14Well, we've got two choices, Ray.
44:16Fight it out, or give up.
44:18Right.
44:20Why don't we give up?
44:22Out of jail for 15 years.
44:25You lose your looks, Ray.
44:27Just when we knows us healing up.
44:29Why don't we fight it out?
44:32Come on.
44:42Cool.
44:44Ray.
44:45Maybe they'll give up.
44:47Come on.
45:01Boy!
45:05We're the police!
45:07Come out with your hands on your heads!
45:09Ray.
45:10Ray.
45:12What?
45:14You know something?
45:17They ain't gonna give up.
45:19The Eureka Stockade!
45:20Right.
45:21That's where we get.
45:22Over that wall.
45:23Right.
45:24Use pommy troopers.
45:25Eureka! Stockade! Right. That's where we get. Over that wall.
45:39Right. Use pommy troopers.
45:47He's got a bloody rifle!
45:55He's got a bull.
45:57I didn't know half of my time.
45:59He shot me.
46:01I'm not careful.
46:02Oh my god.
46:04He shot me!
46:05He shot me!
46:08He killed me!
46:10I can't believe that they're going to shoot me!
46:14He ran away!
46:19Oh my God.
46:21Oh my God!
46:24This never happened to Paul Newman.
46:34I heard about a shot across the bowers, but this is ridiculous.
46:38Can you walk?
46:40I was never a great one for walking.
46:54Give me the roo.
47:00I'll keep them covered.
47:02You might make the fence.
47:05Come on, Colin.
47:06I'll load the gun.
47:10It's no time to argue.
47:15We, uh...
47:16We never would have got those visas anyway.
47:22Go on, Perlstritcher.
47:25Get.
47:25I'll see you next time.
47:55Where's the other one?
48:22Cover me, George.

49:46Both cats, as it happens.
49:47Yeah.
49:48And they picked up Goldman off Sheerness with the painting.
49:50I want an explanation, not an award ceremony.
49:53Explanation?
49:54For this.
49:55Oh, dear.
49:56Oh, dear.
49:57Exactly.
49:58Well, I'm glad someone's amused.
50:01We'll discuss it in the morning.
50:04Hear, hear.
50:06That's going to take him five days since I'm done.
50:10And we'll take him five days to get that off.
50:12It's going to take him five days to get that off.
