Golden Years Page #6

Detective, can you tell us...

...what do you know so far

about these criminals?

Thanks, Stan.

A crew like this...

...will have huge resources

to draw on.

They'll have the latest technology

at their fingertips.

Don't be fooled

by their old people masks.

Underneath they are

ruthless young men...

...who are highly trained

both mentally and physically...

...and will stop at nothing

to get what they want.

I urge the public

not to approach them...

...under any circumstances,

but rest assured...

...we will hunt them down

and we will bring them to justice.

As Arthur approaches

the bank teller...

...I take out the CCTV cameras.

And I distract the security guards

by fainting.

Are you ok? Are you alright?

Are you ok?

Do you want to sit down?

A lovely service. Thank you.

How are you? Are you alright?

Poor Royston.

I shall miss him...

...so much.

-Yes, me too.

He was the life

and soul of our club.

What are we going to do now?

If we stop now,

it'll all be for nothing.

Shirley, the club, they need us now

more than ever.

We've got to do something, Martha.

I know you're right...

...but we're going to need

more people.

Well, then we'll get more people.

Let's make Royston proud.

We've had word

from our high-level sources...

...on the street they're gonna hit

one of three banks...

...in the next two days.

We'll be focusing our mission

on what I'm now calling...

...the golden triangle.

Syon Town, Grittleton, Sodbury.

We've looked at the geography

of the robberies...

...and this follows

a complex pattern that...

...I won't go into now.

-So, what we gonna do?

What we gonna do?

We're gonna cover

the whole bloody lot.

Ok. Phil's in.

He jumped at the chance

to help save the club.

He'll clear the cash desks

with Brian...

...while Martha and I

deal with the vault.

Thelma's up for it.

As long as she can play

the hostage role.

So, are you doing anything nice

this weekend?

I have on something

that will be fun.

Sounds good.

Now, there's a lot of money,

so we'll get it out in two stages.

Charlie will act

as the getaway driver...

...for the first amount.

Getting the second lot out

will have to wait.

Until the time is just right.

Right, off we go.

Everything's good.

Martha.

Martha?

Martha, are you alright?

Martha.

Martha, wake up.

Martha, please.

Martha.

-You!

-Yes, it's me.

I think she's collapsed.

She has...

She suffers terribly

from Crohn's disease.

If you could help.

Martha?

Martha, can you hear me?

She seems to be breathing ok.

Eleven sixty five, to x-ray.

I need an ambulance to Henleaze.

I'll get some water.

Stay calm for me, Martha.

Nance, what are you doing here?

Well, you scribbled down an address

next to a licence plate number...

...so I thought I'd come and see

where you keep disappearing off to.

It's not what it looks like.

Don't be so stupid, Sidney Morris.

Have you called an ambulance?

It's on its way.

Hello.

Martha?

Martha, would you like to go inside

until the ambulance comes?

Thirty-five years gives a copper

the chance...

...to work every kind of case

you can imagine.

But you?

You just don't fit.

It just don't add up.

You think this was about money?

It was about what was fair.

Fair?

Jails are full of blokes who

stole money that wasn't theirs...

...all of them claiming life dealt

them a bad hand.

You wait till they steal

your pension...

...from under your nose.

You'll find out what you think

about your precious rules.

Martha's settled.

The ambulance will be here

in a minute.

What's going on here, then?

I said what's going on?

I ain't getting talked down

to by a ruddy crook.

I'm not a crook.

Yeah? And I'm not the one

who's looking at a stretch.

Alright, that's enough.

Arthur, I think Martha

would appreciate...

...you checking up on her...

...and I wouldn't mind a few

minutes alone with my husband...

...thank you.

-Nance, he could run off!

Sidney!

I have to tell you

we never hurt anyone.

And we only took back

what had been taken from us.

Don't buy it, Nance.

Sidney, if you take

those poor people in...

...I will never ever speak

to you again.

-Those poor people?

-Never, Sidney.

I've put up with enough.

Years and years of going without.

Going without nice things

because the pay wasn't up to much.

Years of sleeping alone...

...or just lying there in bed

wondering...

...if you're gonna

come home late, if at all.

Years and years of going without...

The other...

Love!

You used to take me away...

...from time to time

to make up for it.

Well, that stopped happening,

didn't it?

Every day I sit up there...

...like a silly teenager

doing my hair...

...doing my lippy,

trying to look nice for you.

Hoping you'll notice

but you never do.

And tonight, tonight

I'll be going to the bingo.

I've been going to the bingo

every Thursday...

...for the last ten years.

Like a bloody hamster

on a bloody wheel.

And do you know, Sidney,

I bloody hate bingo!

Love!

Just do the right thing.

That's all that matters.

We can work out the rest.

This is our marriage on the line.

Right here. Right now.

So, you drink your tea

and you think about that.

You've got the time it takes me

to get Martha's shawl...

...from the caravan.

Do you mind?

Sorry.

I'm just a little bit... you know.

-Yeah.

I've got an awful feeling

something bad has happened.

I know.

It's the waiting

that's the hardest part.

Cashier number two, please.

Well, well, well.

Look what we have here.

I'll stop you there, son,

if you don't mind.

DS Stringer.

-Stop p..sing about, Stringer.

This woman needs help.

-Pull the other one.

It's got more bells on

than Santa's nob.

-I've got to take this lady for...

-Shut up.

You're not feeling very well?

Nobody's going anywhere

until I say so.

Especially not you two cons.

Or indeed you, Sid.

I knew you was bent

from the beginning.

I couldn't work out how these two

were getting away.

I decided to have a little look

at the CCTV footage...

...and there you were leaning

on the getaway car...

...getting all cosy

with the occupants.

You two are going down.

And you, Sid.

You're all washed up.

Mess with a Stringer...

...and you've messed with a....

Found it!

Arthur and Martha are in position.

Let's go.

No one get silly

and act the fool...

...and we'll all leave here

with our lives intact.

-Everybody against the wall.

-No. Don't shoot.

Right, you.

Out of the way.

Say hello to my little friend.

And you, follow these instructions.

Five minutes and counting.

It's you, isn't it?

I can't believe

this is happening to us.

Yes, alright, Chantelle.

They are about to rob us, you know.

Everyone ok?

Yes, thanks.

I'm commandeering this vehicle.

Any trouble...

...and I'll arrest

the bloody lot of you.

They've only hit Sodbury.

It's only bloody on.

Get the boys scrambled

as fast as you can.

Boss. Boss,

are you getting this, boss?

I'm on my way.

Don't do anything
