until I get there.

Every one's a winner, baby

That's the truth

That's the truth

Well, look at that.

Lush.

After you.

We'll get the first batch

of money away,

you load the next.

Time check.

Two minutes, thirty-five left.

Bang on time, Charley.

Away you go.

And the next lot,

ladies and gentlemen...

...is two acres of

prime development land...

...in the North Bristol

suburb of Henleaze.

At present the Ardagh Bowling Club.

A great deal of presale interest.

Where will you bid me.

Start me at a million pounds

someone.

Thank you, Madame.

At one million pounds.

At one million pounds, only.

One million one hundred pounds...

-Status?

-No idea.

These guys responded

to the alarm call, so did we.

The front door's been shut

since we got here.

This is Detective Sergeant

Keith Stringer.

You are surrounded.

Come out with your hands up.

I don't want to hurt anybody.

I'm here for the bank's money,

not your money.

Your money is insured.

Nobody here loses a penny.

...with your hands up.

Shall we hand it to tactical?

No, we're not handing it

to sodding tactical.

We move in sixty seconds.

You and two of yours with me

and Cully.

Think of your families

and don't risk this lady's life.

I'm going to deal with you later,

you naughty boy.

You know what to do.

Customers to the room to the right.

And staff the room to the left.

Thank you.

Ok. We're approaching the door.

Over.

Are you lady-boys quite finished?

Sorry, Keith.

You push the door open

and I'll lead in.

Oh, for Christ's sake.

Just one more, sir.

One million six hundred

thousand pounds.

One million seven hundred

thousand pounds.

At one million seven hundred

thousand pounds.

And there's the bid.

You're all out at one million

seven hundred thousand pounds.

Once.

At one million seven hundred

thousand pounds, twice.

Two million!

-I'm sorry?

-Two million.

Two million pounds.

Spread out.

Be careful.

Are you sure

we shouldn't call tactical?

It's not like

they're going anywhere.

Don't be such a tart.

You two go that way.

Cully, on me.

-Sir. Yes, sir.

Two million pounds.

Any more at all?

At two million pounds then,

at once.

Two million pounds, twice.

Make your way through there.

This one's my turn. Stand back.

I'm going in.

You're all out.

At two million pounds,

the third and last time and done.

Is it over?

Thank you very much.

Go on through, sir.

Sid?

Thanks for your help.

I was very pleased

to be able to help.

Don't worry,

Mr. Henderson, sir.

We're just trying

to find the spare keys.

And made off with what we believe

was the money...

...to be distributed

to bankers as their bonus.

And here's the detective

who was leading the investigation.

Detective Stringer.

Detective Stringer,

can you confirm reports...

...that it was your direct actions

that led to the criminals...

...making away with the money?

Any comments?

Comments, sir?

Sir, any comments?

It's now been five days

since the Sodbury Alliance robbery.

Despite an armed cordon

the gang escaped...

...with just over

two million pounds...

making this

their largest haul to date.

Bank sources say

this volume of money...

...would be extremely difficult

to move under any circumstances.

Let alone during a heist.

A police spokesperson stated that

the criminals would have had...

...an extremely sophisticated

escape plan in place...

...that allowed them to get the

cash away from the scene unnoticed.

Bank staff are being questioned

as an inside job...

...has not been ruled out

at this stage of the enquiry.

Do you think they'll be alright?

Of course they will.

Anyway, you'll be able

to look after them.

Just as long as

you're there with me.

I love Dom Jones.

I've had him. 1965.

Round the back of

Merthyr Rugby club.

Not so good up

against the wall, though.

Could you please make sure

that you buy tickets...

...for Tuesday's dance.

It's a fund raiser.

What for?

We're trying to raise

thirty grand...

...to stop them shutting

the old people's drop...

...in centre at Ashton Corner.

They want to turn it

into luxury flats apparently...

Someone's stolen my cucumber.

Come on, you can sit

anywhere you like.

It's a mystery tour.

Not even I know where we're going.

How are you? Are you alright?
