---

you go to lunch.

- No, I don't recognise anyone.

- That will be all, thank you.

- Good morning, miss.

- Morning.

Now, all I want you to do is just

to go along the line...

...and ifyou recognise the

man you thought...

...you saw in the car, just

touch him.

All right?

- Okay.

- All right.

That's all right, miss - if you'll go

with the policewoman.

Gentlemen.

We're very grateful for your time.

That will be all, thank you.

[MEN TALKlNG]

Yeah, waste of time, this.

- Don't rate his ugly mug.

- No, neither do I.

This way, please.

Now, I want you to go

along the line...

...and ifyou recognise the man...

[SCUFFLlNG AND SHOUTING]

Get him out of here.

- Take him off.

- I'm sorry, I---

- ...I'm sorry, I didn't mean...

- Right, that'll be all. Thank you, gentlemen.

l want a summons for assault.

- You're in trouble, Jack.

- Naahhh.

- Get---

- Jack!

Look...

...I'm just tryin' to help you.

Make a statement.

Tell us who else was in on it.

l've got nothing to make a

statement about.

Ahhh...

...do yourself a favour.

What do you mean? You

saw what she did.

Who?

That bloody schoolteacher!

How did you know she was

a schoolteacher?

That stuff will kill you.

l thought you said you were

already in condition?

[WHEEZING]

l thought l was!

How are things going?

Made a start on the drivers.

Like who?

So far, Mike...

...Pete...

...and those two we used

on the furjob.

Mike's good.

The other one talks too much.

You know that.

You want two drivers to

every car, right?

l want everybody doubled up...

...and no weak sisters.

So, l'll keep trying.

- How about the railway end?

- All fixed.

Four of our lads are now railwaymen.

Fully paid up.

- What about electricians?

- Not easy.

Ben's got one or two good lads...

...but he's not going to settle...

...for wages - he'll want a cut.

Talk to him.

How about your friend the banker?

Robinson?

He's in prison.

We'll have to get him out.

We'll need his knowledge

of bank security...

...and for the bank notes.

Only an expert can tell

the safe ones.

So we'll have to get him out.

- Just like that?

- Yeah.

You could have a problem there.

Ha, he's worth it. We'll split

here - see you, Dave.

Zero.

Seventy-three pieces, sir.

Thank you.

Fifty-two pieces for your spend.

You're straight up, sir. Thank you.

Three hundred thousand.

And a cut of the profits.

Straight.

How much you expect?

Somewhere in the low millions.

- I'll take a cut.

- Uh-uh.

Dave, darling...

...I've missed you, where

have you been?

Go away, baby - I'm busy.

Ask me later.

Percentage or forget it.

How much?

Twenty-five percent.

We'll work for you, Ben.

Take it or leave it.

l'll put it to the board.

Fine.

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty...

...seventy, eighty, ninety -

a hundred pounds.

Place your bets, please.

All bets on?

Twenty-two.

You win, Mr Aitken.

Place your bets, please.

[NEWSREADER] "On the day of the funeral

a general strike was declared and---"

Welcome to J Wing, Robinson.

What a pity you won't be

staying long.

W-what do you mean?

What are you talking about?

You're going over the wall, Robinson.

Tomorrow:
four-ten exercise, west wall.

l don't want any trouble.

Neither does your wife,

l should imagine.

Or the boy.

How old will he be now?

Why me?

l don't know, Robinson...

...and I don't care.

All I know is you go over

the wall tomorrow...

...even if I have to throw

you over myself.

Right.

Let's run through it.

Uh, four hundred yards on the left...

...bottom of the incline, there's

a road to the junction.

Half a mile beyond that...

...there's a sharp right-hander.

Then a crossing.

After the crossing...

...there's no turn-off till you get

to the main road.

Keep it at forty.

How many turnings off

the main road?

Er, nine.

How many of those can we use

as alternative routes?

Fi... six, l think.

Five.

Five or six, what does it matter?

lt matters.

Let's get back to the bridge

a different way.

You've got... six minutes.

What kind of recruiting?

Specialists?

All kinds, apparently.

Drivers.

- Electricians.

- Electricians?

Any names?

You know I never can

remember names.

Who's "the money"?

The talk is it's from that

diamond job.

Any more on that?

Had to be the mob we

were talking about.

None of them's spending.

And that's interesting,

isn't it, Mr Langdon?

Very interesting.

Keep listening.

Three-sixteen. Two minutes late.

We can't have that, can we?

Hmm, no.

What's the average?

lt's never more than six minutes...

...over the past ten days.

That was my smoke you took.

Smoke? l never 'ad your smoke!

Why don't you shut your

mouth or I'll...

- ...put one on you!

- You'll do what?

Hey!

Hey! Break it up!

Break it up there!

[SHOUTING AMONGST PRISONERS]

How much do you think there

is tonight, Bob?

lf you take three million

as an average...

...there could be four million tonight.

Judging by the number of sacks.

ls that high-value coach always

in second position?

Has been all week.

Have you found an engine

driver for me yet?

l've got one in mind.

Have we found out anything

about this, Jock?

Yes, sir.

Kidderminster Laboratories...

...confirmed it WAS one of...

...those stolen at the time of

the break-in last year.

The timing mechanism's

the kind of...

...thing you can buy

at most shops.

Any one of half a dozen specialists...

...could have rigged the

two together.

Which gets us nowhere.

Do you think the diamonds are

still in the country?

lfAitken's behind it? No.

- You've charged Jack?

- Yes.

- He's not speaking, of course?

- No!

l take it Number One District's...

...keeping an eye on the

Aitken mob?

Round the clock.

Frankly, I would have

thought this job...

...far too sophisticated for

Aitken on his own.

l couldn't agree more.

Who's behind it?

Somebody with some brains.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

And not only that...

There's someone who's recruiting -

and only top specialists.

- Pretty strong rumours to that effect.

- [ON TELEPHONE] Yes?

lnformation received?

- Yes, sir.

- [ON TELEPHONE] It's positive?

Right, George - you keep on to this.

You'll get all the help...

- ...you need from Number One District.

- [ON TELEPHONE] Yes, he's here now. l'll tell him.

[ON TELEPHONE]

Well done, David.

lt's the Rosary Gardens strangling, sir.

Renshaw's at Harrow Road now and

he'll be charged tonight.

Water-tight?

Absolutely.

Well done, Mike.

Smart arrest by the young detective...

...in Paddington, l thought.

Good.

Well, come on lads...

...let's get this over with.

l've got a meeting with the...

...Commissioner in ten minutes.

Now, then...

...anything fresh on the

Robinson escape?

Well, he had outside help,

of course...

...but I think we'll have him back...

...inside in a matter of days.

Reasons?

Well, he's an amateur, sir.

"Good conduct" man.

First-time loser.

No underworld connections.

Who helped him over

the wall, then?

Well, he probably made friends inside.
