[TELEPHONE RINGS]

THAT'S OUT OF THE QUESTION.

OH, THERE'S NO WAY

THAT WE COULD OFFER

GUARANTEES LIKE THAT.

OH, WELL, I MEAN,

IF THEY WERE PERSISTENT.

TAKING THEIR CASH AND

VALUABLES ON A BUS TRIP.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

AYE, WELL, MAYBE

THEY ARE JUST AS STUPID

AS THEY LOOK.

OH, I CAN TELL THA TO THE SECRETARY.

[DOG BARKING]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

THAT'S MY OWN PERSONAL,

PRIVATE TELEPHONE.

IT JUST KEPT ON RINGING.

I COULDN'T TURN IT OFF.

IT WASN'T MY IDEA

TO PUT IT IN A DRAWER.

[RINGING]

THAT'S MY LAWYER.

I'VE GOT TO TAKE THE CALL.

GET A HAMMER.

Man on TV:
THE POLICE ARE

CONCENTRATING THEIR EFFORTS

ON TRYING TO ESTABLISH

A PATTERN IN THE HOLD-UPS

AND ARE STRESSING THE DIFFICULTY

OF PATROLLING THE ROADS

IN THIS REMOTE HIGHLAND REGION.

BUT DETECTIVE INSPECTOR BAIRD,

WHO IS HEADING THE INQUIRY IS

STILL OPTIMISTIC ABOU AN EARLY ARREST.

AND A NEW LEAD TODAY:

A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE SO-CALLED

CLOWN AND WOLFMAN

BEARING A HIGHLAND POSTMARK WAS

DELIVERED TO TELEVISION CENTER.

FORENSIC SCIENTISTS ARE

CURRENTLY STUDYING

THE PICTURE IN THE HOPE

IT MAY GIVE THEM THE CLUE

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR.

SO FAR, BOTH THE SCOTTISH

LIBERATION FRON AND THE CALEDONIAN

NATIONAL GROUP:

HAVE CLAIMED:

RESPONSIBILITY...

DO YOU MIND:

IF I JOIN YOU?

IN PARLIAMEN THIS AFTERNOON,

OPPOSITION BLAMED

THE GOVERNMENT'S

UNEMPLOYMENT RECORD FOR

THE INCREASE IN CRIME.

TODAY THE SEARCH

FOR THE PIRATES WAS JOINED

BY AN UNUSUAL EXPEDITION FROM

THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN.

THE 8-MAN TELEVISION CREW

WANTS TO BE THE FIRS TO FILM THE BANDITS

IN ACTION.

THOUGH THEIR ARRIVAL

HAS CAUSED SOME ANGER

AMONG THE LOCAL MEDIA

AND POLICE.

DON'T YOU THINK YOUR

PRESENCE MIGHT GET IN THE WAY

OF POLICE ATTEMPTS

TO CATCH THE BANDITS?

NO. I...I...WE ARE

NOT HERE FOR REVENGE.

WE ONLY WANT TO...TO

FILM IT FOR OUR PROGRAM.

YES. YES. YES.

Woman on TV:
THAT WAS

MICHAEL DOUGLAS REPORTING...

WHEN'S THE NEX HOLD-UP?

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

I WAS JUST WONDERING

WHEN YOU THOUGHT THESE MEN

MIGHT DO THE NEX BUS HOLD-UP,

YOU KNOW, UP NORTH.

OH, AYE, HOLD-UP.

HOLD-UP.

WHAT HOLD-UPS THAT?

THERE IS A LOT OF

FUNNY THINGS GOING ON.

YOU SHOULD READ:

THE NEWSPAPERS.

OF COURSE, I HAVEN' REALLY BEEN FOLLOWING IT.

HOLD-UP.

I GUESS THESE THINGS

JUST HAPPEN:

OUT OF THE BLUE,

DON'T THEY?

ONE MORE YOU'RE SITTING

THERE, QUITE THE THING,

AND THE NEXT WHO KNOWS?

I MEAN, WHO KNOWS?

[REPORTER CONTINUES]

I DO.

STRONG NORTHWESTERLY

WINDS WILL BRING RAIN

TO MOST...

AND YOU DO.

AND RONNIE WEATHERSPOON

KNOWS.

WE'VE ALL GOT BIRTHDAYS

COMING UP SOON.

[SEAGULL CAWS]

I MADE THEM PROMISE

AN OATH OF SECRECY.

I SAID, I SAID THEY COULD

BECOME HONORARY MEMBERS

IF THEY COULD PROVE

THEY COULD KEEP A SECRET.

WELL, AND SOME

MORE JEWELRY.
