Oh...!

This film contains

strong language.

# Keep on running

# Keep on hiding

# One fine day I'm gonna

be the one to make you understand

# Oh yeah, I'm gonna be your man...#

BURGLAR ALARM:

# Keep on running

# Running from my arms

# One fine day I'm gonna be

the one to make you understand

# Oh yeah, I'm gonna be your man

# Hey, hey, hey

# Everyone is talking about me

# It makes me feel so bad

# Hey, hey, hey!

# Everyone is laughing at me

# It makes me feel so sad

# Just keep on running

# Hey, hey, hey!

# All right... #

SIRENS BLARE:

# Keep on running... #

Taxi!

# Running from my arms

# One fine day I'm gonna

be the one to make you understand

# Oh yeah, I'm gonna be your man

# Hey, hey, hey

# Everyone is talking about me

# It makes me feel so sad... #

..resurrection to eternal life

through our Lord Jesus Christ...

who shall change the body

of our low estate that it may be

like unto His glorious body...

according to the mighty working,

whereby He is able to subdue

all things to Himself. Amen.

Morning, Mr Mitchell.

What's he doing here?

Showing his respect. Shame

you couldn't have done the same.

I was at the tables...

Get lucky, did you?

Yeah. I bought a new suit.

I'd never have noticed(!)

Mr Mitchell, fancy seeing you here!

I sent the old lag down

more times than I can remember.

Only right and proper I show up.

And these occasions help me

keep in touch.

Give the public what they want,

they'll show up for it.

They'll come when you go, Biggsy.

To make sure you're dead.

How's June, Buster?

Baby coming along OK this time?

Fine, Mr Mitchell.

Can I offer you a ride, Mr Mitchell?

No thanks, Bruce.

I've got a police car.

Coming with us, Buster?

No, Harry. I kept the taxi.

I'm going home in style.

After a night at the tables,

you'll need a peace offering.

I can handle June.

Course you can, Buster.

That's one pound ten, mate.

Thirty bob? Just from Peckham?

You got a dodgy clock there, boy.

You better hang on.

I ain't moving, sunshine.

KNOCKS ON DOOR:

You won - thank God!

Not exactly.

You like the flowers, then?

What do you mean, not exactly?

Well, you know. I lost a few bob.

Lend us a quid to pay the taxi.

You mean you lost. The lot?

Nah...!

Well, sort of, yeah.

The rent man calls today.

How am I supposed to pay him?

Come on, Juney. We'll find a way.

We always do.

And where did you get that suit?

Tell you later.

The clock's still going.

(Buster, I can't go on like this.)

He'll go away in a minute.

(Nicky, come back here!)

Good day, madam.

Are your mummy and daddy there?

(Darlin', we're not in!)

No!

They're behind the couch.

TV:
'If you don't believe me, look.

A lump the size of a walnut'

So why can't we, Buster?

Why can't we what?

Why can't we buy that house?

It was two hours ago

we had that conversation!

It was before "Rawhide" started.

Well, why, Buster?

Let me watch the telly, June.

You've always had enough money.

You've had it when I've had it.

That's not the point.

We're a family now.

We need a home of our own.

What with Nicky

and the new baby on the way.

Has Nicky ever gone without?

No, but the rent man has.

I don't want to hide

behind the couch every month.

You can pay rent.

Why can't you pay for a house?

How much is the house, June?

3,000.

How much to rent this place?

3 a week.

That's why.

Now let me watch the cowboys!

You could get a mortgage.

Borrow it. From a bank.

I do borrow from banks.

That is my job.

I mean with their permission.

I can just see my reference.

From Harry Stenford,

labourer and heavy villain.

Or we could ask the Governor

of Brixton Prison.

Buster, please! I just want

some security for us - as a family.

Look, I'm a lucky thief.

You don't need no house.

Not when I'm around.

And what happens

when your luck runs out?

Where's the baby clothes

coming from then?

You want baby things, write a list.

I'll get them.

No-one can say

I don't provide for this family.

Right. If that's how you want it.

Bloody hell!

'Let's head 'em up

and move them out!'

"RAWHIDE" THEME SONG

I've missed it now!

I used to have one of these.

That'll do. Right, now...

Plastic pants, nappies,

talcum powder, safety pins.

Sterilising liquid... Jesus,

what's she want that for?

That'll come in useful!

# We wish you a merry Christmas...

# And a happy New Year! #

What the bloody hell! Who's that?

Buster! What time is it?

It's Christmas time!

Six to twelve months? It's too big.

You'll have to take it back.

Did you get a receipt?

No, I didn't get a receipt!

Come here.

Oh, June. I do love you, darlin'.

I know you do, darlin'.

Oh, something is sticking in me.

TOY SQUEAKS:

SQUEAKING CONTINUES

I've got some good info, Harry.

Oh? Remember that poofy lawyer?

Yeah.

Me and Bruce met him at the track.

Got terrific info this time.

I remember last time.

We was unlucky, that's all.

We wasn't unlucky. I was unlucky.

I done the 18 months. You went off

to watch Charlton Athletic.

Well, they got beat four nil.

Sorry, mate.

Oh, bloody dogs!

Look, Harry. It's the big one,

this job. Really.

Five grand, is it, this time?

Split ten ways?

I had to get the f***ing Tube home

after the last job with you.

You still knocking off Mothercare,

are you, Buster?

How does a million quid grab you?

It's straight up, this one, honest.

Yeah? What is it?

Elizabeth Taylor's jewellery?

No, you stupid prick.

It's a Royal Mail train.

Carries a million quid

on a bank holiday weekend.

And we're gonna nick it.

One million quid.

What does Bruce say?

Bruce thinks it's on.

Ouch! Bloody hell!

I'm soaked! My feet!

Careful!

'Ere, who do you think you are?

Akaba, old son, Akaba!

Towards the guns. Charge!

My hero!

We've struggled across 200 miles

of desert to bring you this message.

What message is that, then?

My faithful servant, June,

has it about her person.

I've got it here, Orenz!

"Two cod and chips

and heavy on the vinegar, please!"

Ain't no-one nicked stuff off a

train before, Bruce. Not big stuff.

I know that, Harry.

So are we gonna have a trial run?

Yeah, but not on the main line.

The best time to take it

is after the bank holiday weekend.

So there's plenty of time

to practise.

Practise?

We'll go into training -

like the Olympics.

By the time we're through,

we'll be able to lift

any amount of cash off any train.

So what's the plan?

First we're gonna need some help.

What sort of help?

Expert help. None of us have ever

stopped a train before, have we?

That's easy -

just pull the communication cord.

That's not how it works.

You can't judge accurately

where the train's gonna stop.

So?

So I want to bring

George's lot in.

No. He's an arsehole.

No, Harry. He's just

a smug little bastard,

but he knows how to do it.

And we can't just wing it when

there's a million quid at stake.

We've got to know exactly

where the train's going to stop.

Wait for me!

Attagirl, Nicky!

Round you go!

Give it a push. Push, push, push!
