You haven't called her, have you?

l never even got through, Paul.

l-I just wanted to hear her.

Who'd he call?

His wife.

Where'd you call her from?

Telephone box, down the lane.

lt's a quarter of a mile from here.

l never got through. They couldn't

have known it was me.

What do we do with him?

Leave it.

Paul - listen, please.

You go on checking.

- Can I help you, sir?

- Good morning, yes.

Beg pardon, sir.

- Yes?

- A Mr Langdon.

- Morning, sir.

- Morning.

Who are you?

Uh, Inspector Langdon, sir...

...Flying Squad.

l see.

That was quick work. How did

you people get to know?

Oh, I didn't. l just happened to be

in the neighbourhood.

And I got a radio message.

- You're after Robinson, aren't you?

- Ah, yeah.

You're wasting your time.

We traced the call, sent a car to

the box - but he'd gone.

- Oh, well, could you direct me to the---

- Sorry, Inspector...

...hate to appear uncooperative.

Robinson's the least of our

worries right now.

What's the approximate total?

Eight hundred thousand pounds.

Now, has anyone informed the GPO?

Yes, sir.

[POLICE RADIO lN BACKGROUND]

"Received, Tango Six. Thank you."

Check there's forty-three by

five hundred there.

Right.

[COUNTING]

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

...one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Got my pen?

---four, five, six, seven. That's right.

Sarge, it's gone up to a million.

Take the county apart - every road...

...every deserted house.

And don't forget...

- ...the flying clubs.

- There are two old aerodromes...

...a disused watermill.

- Get the mobiles going on that.

- Hello, Zulu Five.

What about, er, what about

the RAF base?

A helicopter might be useful.

That's a good idea.

Get on to the RAF.

What's the matter, boy?

Lose the crown jewels?

- What you carrying?

- Biscuits.

Open up the back.

Who's that?

She's my niece.

Okay, "uncle" - let's look inside.

- Morning, George.

- Morning, guv.

Well, there's a turn-up for the books.

What's the latest score?

About two million.

l told you it would go to

over two million.

Oh, George - this is Mr Watley...

...Post Office Security.

Not the happiest man you'll

meet this morning.

Detective Inspector Langdon.

- You haven't seen Bulstrode, have you?

- Bulstrode?

- Railway Security.

- No.

l shouldn't imagine he's

very happy either.

Any luck with Robinson?

l'm not sure. I think I'll go and have a look

around that phone box.

There's a helicopter coming.

l think it's them.

Nail this down, Dave.

Ben.

KEEP CLEAR!

You're right. It is them.

Langdon's coming up here.

Do you think they've fallen for it?

We'll soon know.

- Inspector Langdon?

- Yes.

What have we got?

Oh, they've been here, all right.

We found evidence...

...they spent the night in

one of the huts.

You don't think they might

still be around?

l shouldn't think so, we've...

...covered everything pretty thoroughly.

Have you, er...

...searched the rest of the airfield?

Yes, of course.

Will you excuse me, please? I must

get through to Control.

Hello, Alpha Control?

Hello, Alpha Control?

Come in, please. Over.

He's asked for the fingerprint boys.

But he thinks we're away.

[LOUD WHISPER]

Quiet!

[WHlSPERING]

There's somebody up there.

May l see your passport, sir?

Thank you.

- Are you going abroad for long, sir?

- Fortnight.

And how much currency are

you carrying?

Ten pounds and...

...hundred pounds in traveller's cheques.

Delayed holiday.

l see, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Just shut up...

...and put your money where your

mouth is. Now, come on.

Actually, you have got a hand like a foot.

lt's always been the same.
