Between the Lines (1992) s01e10 Episode Script
Nothing to Declare
- Do you hear me, Jim? - I'm with you, over.
Chandler and Hendriks are on board.
No sign of Karunadasa yet, guv.
Another car, Steve.
You'll clock it.
Any second Got it.
Karunadasa? Yeah.
Mmm.
with new tart.
Highly expensive.
No wonder they want to bring in more coke.
Do you want some party snaps, guv? Yeah.
This is what we've been waiting for.
Get in as close as you can.
But no risks.
And watch out for Chandler's heavies.
No problem, guv.
I'll just slip into something more comfortable.
Take it easy.
No, it's paparazzi stuff.
Piece of piss.
Chandler, Karunadasa, Hendriks, all in situ, 0010.
Fish are entering water, heading for Chandler's yacht.
Charlie, Charlie.
- Go on, Charlie.
- All right.
Look.
There's a lot of rumours flying around about why I'm taking early retirement.
There are those who are saying that my nose was put out of joint because Dick Sharp has got head of the drug squad.
well, all I can say is I'll be thinking of him from a deck chair in Spain.
Yes.
And when he gets tired of banging his head up against the brick wall that stops us getting the evidence to put any bugger behind bars, there'll be cold beer waiting in the fridge for him, OK? There are those who say that Charlie McGregor will use any excuse to get a few nights out on the town with the mates that he's worked with for the last 30 years.
Do you remember when the job used to be very simple? when we banged up villains if they broke the law.
That's right.
when we kept the streets clean and safe, and were bloody proud to do it.
we used to belong to the best police force on the planet, didn't we? well done, well done.
when somebody poked you in the face.
Before we knew that the real answer to crime on the streets was a lecture on sociology.
Remember, we were so pig-ignorant that we used to call PCs of the alternative gender wPCs.
The days before it was decided to rename the Black Museum the Museum Of Some Not Very Nice Things Encountered By Community Policeman, But That's Only Our Opinion.
well, all those seminars certainly got rid of crime in London, didn't they? Like hell they did.
So it's off with the old warts and on with the new.
Gentlemen The Met.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
It doesn't matter.
You are glad you're here? Course I am.
- I still want you to talk me through it.
- Oh, Jenny, it's the middle of the night.
I can't help it, Tony.
with this 163 hanging over me, they could call me in any time they like.
You've got nothing to worry about.
I'm scared, Tony.
- Just help me - Look, let's just get some sleep, huh? Come on, ladies, move, please.
Don't push your luck, Steve.
It will have to do.
Bit more patience, guv, just a bit more.
Yeah, that's better, now we're getting somewhere.
Karunadasa.
Chandler.
No Hendriks yet.
Must have gone for a snort.
I've lost Chandler's men.
Out, Steve, now.
- Good do.
- You always threw a good do, Charlie.
You're right.
So what are you gonna do in Spain? As little as possible.
A bit of sailing.
Got a little boat down there.
Nothing special.
The grandchildren like it.
- So the kids have all bred, have they? - Jane has.
Two boys.
David's still playing the field.
How about you? Best thing in the world.
- How are you getting on with CIB? - Oh, you know - Cheers.
Take care.
- Bye, Charlie.
- Great working with you.
- Cheers.
Good man.
I shan't be sorry to go.
I mean, who wants a police force with real coppers in it these days, eh? Something's come up, guv, car's outside.
Jesus.
They want their money's worth, don't they? See you, lads.
You take care, all right? No contact from Fisher for four hours.
Ryman, sir, I'm terribly sorry to wake you this time in the morning.
No.
I think we may have a problem.
- You haven't got to be in early.
- Eh? You said you'd talk me through the Carswell interview.
Oh, Jen, don't get so wound up.
You were driving your car, you picked up Hargreaves with Carswell.
wasn't your nick, you don't know anything.
But they'll want to know why I didn't come forward.
Carswell didn't confess in that car and that's what your mates want me to say.
If Hargreaves did fit up Carswell and Graves can prove it, no one is gonna worry about you.
It's not going to be all smiles and "thank you very much" at CIB, you know damn well.
- It wouldn't be if you were investigating.
- Be grateful I'm not, then.
I'm not laughing.
Sorry, darling.
- About time.
I've been waiting for you.
- Sir? Not here.
I'll fill you in on the background on the way.
This is half past midnight.
That's Karunadasa, he's the last guest to arrive.
Steve Fisher made radio contact.
It all started to break up by two-thirty, three o'clock.
Nothing really happened until four.
And that is Harry Chandler.
He's the guy who owns the yacht.
They head out onto the river.
where they're intercepted by a Thames Division launch.
There.
There are more pictures but they don't tell us very much.
The Thames Division boat moved upstream with Chandler's tender for some minutes out of sight.
The tender returned to Katherine's Dock some time later, and the Thames Division boat moved downstream towards wapping.
That's it.
And still no word from Steve Fisher.
wasn't there any backup for this? If we had backup, Chandler's get-together wouldn't have happened.
You didn't hear from your mate.
why didn't you call the police? I didn't think I needed to, Superintendent.
Mr Hughes, you've shown me photos of people arriving at and leaving a party on a yacht.
You've shown me a photo of Thames Division officers doing their job.
You haven't told me what crime I'm supposed to be interested in.
You've hinted at the involvement of Metropolitan Police officers of, your words, senior rank.
Now, I assume we're all here to talk about a Customs and Excise drugs investigation.
Drugs and illegal immigration.
A major network.
And this investigation is not being pursued in conjunction with any police drug squad, Met or otherwise? There was a police drug squad involved, only they were working for the opposition.
All right, Jim.
I could have put it more delicately, Commander, but basically, that's where we are.
You have the evidence to support this? My men aren't cowboys, Commander.
This investigation has implicated police officers at a senior level ever since Jim Ryman brought it to me.
I'd like some facts, Mr Hughes.
I think you'd better look through these.
Hello.
well, I wasn't exactly expecting you.
No, Eddie, I don't think there's much point.
Me? Actually, I'm contemplating my 163.
what are you doing? Oh, all right.
Yeah, I'll see you there.
No, Hughes knows what he's doing.
If Customs have found something, there's something to be found.
Charlie's drug squad is very highly regarded, it gets good results.
- Yeah, at a fairly low level.
- You believe it, then? If Charlie's attitude to policing hadn't fossilised somewhere around the mid-'60s, he might well be head of the drugs squad now.
If there are allegations against a man like that, it's in the interests of the Met either to make sure he's clean, or that they're involved in putting him away.
But we can't move without scuppering the Customs operation.
And if we wait No, that's not what Hughes wants.
Hughes wants you in.
But against his own people's wishes.
while we're at Customs, we talk to no one at CIB.
what exactly does "no one" mean? No one means everyone except Huxtable.
Not even Deakin.
we've got to play it the way Customs and Excise want it, secrecy and all.
- Charlie's got a lot of friends.
- He has.
I didn't tell our colleagues at Customs and Excise, but I was at his retirement do last night.
Oh, dear.
- You know, I really do miss the Met.
- Yes.
- well, it doesn't have to be forever.
- No, I hope not.
Talking of which, I think it's best not to mention my involvement in this to the commissioner.
Morning, guv, Mo.
I am in the right place, then? Yep.
Friendly lot, aren't they? One of their undercover ops disappeared.
The theory is he got the chop and the dealers called Thames Division to get rid of the body.
This is before we get on to Charlie McGregor's drug squad.
I tell it to you as it was told to me.
Let's say they don't regard us as the cavalry.
Like to come in, Superintendent? He must have talked to this bloke Graves.
He must know what they've got.
well, Tony and Graves aren't exactly mates.
Oh, right.
So what did Tony say? Look, Eddie, I didn't hear anything.
There was talkback on the radio, there was traffic.
The rest of the time there was silence.
- That's what I'll tell CIB.
- what Clark told you to say.
No one told me to say anything.
If you think I'll say I heard Carswell's confession, forget it.
Come on.
There's no need for that.
- I'm in the shit, Jen.
- I'm sorry.
I'm not jumping in there with you, OK? Look, whatever Tony says, he's on the inside, they're his oppos, they won't come down heavy on you.
Now, I know we haven't seen that much of each other lately, - but that's not my doing.
- Come on, Eddie.
Hearts and flowers won't get me to lie for you either.
I know that.
I meant it.
I know.
what the Thames has lost in cargo, it's made up for in other ways.
There's leisure craft coming across from the whole European seaboard.
There's stuff coming across from the Caribbean.
These are people with big money, though, legitimate money.
You can make big money a lot bigger by dropping kilos of cocaine into London.
That's a bit more background on the Chandler tie-in.
Started off as a few random searches.
In each case we're talking about chartered yachts.
One coincidence too many at first.
- A bit like McGregor's bent drug squad.
- 'Ey.
Hang on a minute.
- I've heard wild accusations in my time - Later.
One of those coincidences i that Harry Chandler owns 51% of the company, Albatross Charter.
One thing you won't find in there is a charter Albatross did last summer.
They provided a boat for a disabled kids' outing to Hampton Court free of charge.
The trip was organised by an inspector from Thames Division.
Maybe something dodgy did happen last night with a Thames Division boat.
Since we're not allowed to investigate, we don't know.
And now a kids' outing is some kind of crime.
- This is shit, guv.
- Let's just listen, eh? Our information is that there were two officers on the launch last night, an Inspector Anderson and a Sergeant Carr.
Anderson did the deal with Albatross Charter.
when you know what happened - Harry! - we're straying off the mark, Dave.
I don't see how anything to do with Steve's disappearance is off the mark.
- Just leave it! - Look, can we get one thing clear? If anyone wants Fisher's disappearance investigated, it can start when you want.
You're the ones holding back on that.
My guv'nor's instructions are to work to your orders for the time being.
Yeah.
McGregor? It's bollocks.
You're sure? Yeah, I'll be right down.
Perhaps you'd like to come with me, Superintendent? was that him? Yeah.
- Right.
Now we call in the Met.
- No.
- Now we wait.
Nothing's changed.
- Come on.
This could be a murder now.
- It was a murder yesterday.
- Look, I can't sit around waiting.
You're here to help me pull in some corrupt policemen, or to prove us wrong.
- Either way, you do as I say.
- what about the forensic evidence? when Chandler and his mate are in a nick, you can scrape away behind their nails until the cows come home.
That was my best friend, Superintendent.
Now, I don't think he's gonna thank me for blowing it now, do you? Hello.
Eddie.
No, I'm not particularly pleased.
Look, we've been through this.
I haven't changed my mind, so don't keep phoning me about it.
Look, just leave it, will you? It's a background on some established routes into Europe.
Thanks a bunch.
I got 500 back copies of the Police Review at home.
I'll bring them in for you.
- It will help to know what we're about.
- I know exactly what you're about.
- Now, there's a surprise.
- Hmm? If you'd asked me to put money on where Dave Ray would park an unwanted policewoman, I might have got the jackpot.
You talk.
I was beginning to wonder about some of the others.
Different species.
Zenab.
- Maureen.
- I'm Home Office Immigration.
I don't count as priority either, except that illegal immigrants might lead to the traffickers.
But at least I'm not seen as competition.
Or the enemy.
I don't think you'd be too happy if Steve Fisher was one of yours.
No, but neither am I too happy with what passes for proof around here.
Anyway, I don't know what Mr Ray wants me to do over here.
He wants you out of the way.
Any idea where Superintendent Clark is? - I thought he had a meeting with you.
- Yes.
- Good do last night.
- Yes.
I thought Charlie was on good form.
Surprised me.
He's one I thought they'd have to carry out screaming and kicking.
Couldn't wait to retire, though.
If Superintendent Clark comes back Oh, I'm sure he'll turn up.
No.
- Does she speak any English? - Oh, yes.
There is news of my case.
I am appealing.
I have to stay here, you see.
I'm sorry.
I'll let you know as soon as I hear.
If you remember a face She was working in a sweatshop in Brick Lane with 15 other women.
Seven of the women were illegal.
we know Sushita came in from Holland on one of Chandler's boats.
She came in with her husband and three children.
where are they? working somewhere else for some of Karunadasa's people.
They make a good investment.
You pay them next to nothing, charge them for filthy accommodation, and then blackmail them for whatever they bought with them for protection.
- what about Sushita? - what about her? - Can you help her? - Nope.
She goes back whether she helps us or not.
Hendriks is processing the drugs through Rotterdam.
Chandler and Karunadasa are bankrolling.
And if Customs are right, the Met doesn't even get a whiff because Charlie McGregor's on Chandler's payroll.
Then there's Karunadasa's immigrant network.
It spreads right up to Glasgow.
- we'll treat that as a separate issue.
- why? Our job is to investigate possible police involvement in the drugs network.
Now, when Customs move in to break up the drugs operation, we bring in the bad apples.
The rest is up to other squads.
If you'll forgive me for saying it, guv'nor, our job so far has been to sit around and be told bugger all about what these people are doing.
And to listen to unsubstantiated allegations about some bloody good coppers.
we've been on this a day, Harry.
They've had six months.
They should have brought in professionals earlier and gone looking for those extra packets of duty-free.
So long as no one thinks I'm enjoying myself.
- what about Thames Division? - what about 'em? A contact like that could be useful for anyone using the river.
See what you can find out about these two.
Inspector Anderson, Sergeant Carr.
without asking any questions, you mean? I think he's got it.
- Go on, piss off, both of you.
- Goodbye, then, sir.
Yeah.
Hello.
Mortuary, please.
Yeah.
Hi, it's Tony Clark.
I'm sorry to dump on you.
Yeah.
No, I can't go through the regular channels.
No.
would it be possible to have something by tomorrow morning? well, before breakfast would be better.
Yeah.
All right, I'll be there.
Yeah.
I gotta go.
I appreciate it.
- How's it going? - OK.
- what have you got on? - Oh, bits and pieces.
Just tidying up a few cases for the PCA.
- There's only one going anywhere.
- The rape? Yeah.
Forensics came up with the goods on that.
It will go to court.
- what's this? - Nothing much.
I don't suffer much from my stomach but my gut's been playing me up all day.
Ever since the guv'nor gave me the brushoff earlier.
Now, if someone's taking the piss out of me I don't know what you mean, chief.
Good.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Deakin's always got this look on his face, "I know when anyone farts in this place.
" For once, he didn't.
He really didn't and he didn't like it.
Don't do that now.
- I might as well.
- Leave it.
It's not every day I splash out £2.
50 on a bottle of wine.
- This is vintage stuff.
- I'm trying to wash up.
- what's the matter with the morning? - Please, Tony, I'm not in the mood.
well, I'm trying, Jen, but you haven't had two words to say since I got here.
I beg your pardon.
You didn't exactly reassure me this morning.
This investigation hasn't gone away just cos you shrugged your shoulders.
It's gonna be all right.
It's Hargreaves they're after.
- That's very comforting.
- It should be.
You don't even know him.
Maybe I'm just not in the mood for anecdotes about your chums at CIB.
I'm gonna find out all about them myself soon.
You want to pretend it's not happening.
- That's rubbish.
- Is it? Oh, forget it.
He's just sailed.
Chandler.
So? - Every time I see that bloody boat - It's finished.
Don't think about it.
OK? It starts with McGregor.
It lists every police contact logged by Customs in the last six months, between McGregor and Chandler, McGregor and Karunadasa, McGregor and Anderson.
well, it's all very thorough.
And all very circumstantial.
I think if we went all out on a murder investigation, I could find some cracks, but Ryman won't have it, I can't shift him.
we have to give Customs time to draw the noose.
I've had a word with the commissioner, we're embarrassed politically.
They have to have the first move.
But that doesn't mean we wait forever.
Oh, in the meantime, you might point out to Mr Ryman that if McGregor isn't caught with a kilo of crack in his briefcase, or a wad of notes covered in Chandler's fingerprints, we'll need confessions.
This won't impress the DPP.
Oh, uh, sir.
I don't think I'm doing a very good job in throwing Chief Superintendent Deakin off the scent.
- He doesn't know what I'm doing - But he knows it's something - he doesn't know about? - Roughly.
well, it won't do him any harm, will it? - Morning.
- Morning, sir.
Ooh.
Another new suit, Gravesy.
You're putting us all to shame.
Shit! I told you to do nothing and I told you why.
I don't need any more bloody policeman lousing up this operation, I've got enough of them out on the street.
It's just a pass from Forensics and a preliminary postmortem.
It's still an unidentified body, it's standard procedure.
Is it standard to send the results to a CIB officer? I got a mate to do the forensics.
No one knows.
There was an attempt to weigh down the body.
Is there a point to all this? Are you trying to mess up this operation because you're in the Met? The point is since you won't let me or my officers get near your operation, I intend to have something to hand on to the murder squad when you have finally cleared the planet of drug trafficking.
So what have you got? Fisher died as a result of a blow to the face and skull.
He was dead before he hit any water.
He was almost certainly moved downstream from St Katherine's dock and dumped.
I know that fits in with your theory.
what we've got so far is a number of paint traces, fibres, things that might locate him more specifically.
I'm not gonna move till you say so.
But I don't think the only trial you're gonna be attending is gonna be for drug smuggling.
- You know your problem? - what? You're doing exactly the same as I'd do.
Chandler and Karunadasa have met up with Hendriks in Amsterdam.
Chandler's got two chartered boats on hold, both due back in London tomorrow.
And Hendriks took delivery of a load of coke at the weekend.
This is the one.
I'd better talk to Holland.
OK.
Let's get ready.
- Are you in? - Yes, that's what we're here for.
You've had enough, you want out.
You said it.
You could have done me the courtesy of eating the food, though.
- It's all just a big joke to you, isn't it? - Money is never a joke with me, George.
And I've got quite a lot of it waiting for me now.
You're retiring.
- It's got to be the end of it for all of us.
- Exactly.
Get off the bloody boats and settle down to some serious fishing.
I mean, you're sitting on a decent little nest egg yourself.
It wasn't the money that dragged me into this, Charlie.
But you took it, George.
So did your mate Carr.
Yeah, we were both fools, weren't we? I know there's always another time, another favour.
But a body? For Christ's sake, Charlie! I try to tell Carr it doesn't really matter.
You knew what Chandler was up to.
You know he kills people.
You can't see these people, George.
But I have.
I've seen them die.
But I've stopped looking.
They're just statistics to me.
Take a look around you.
Go on.
I was born on the Isle of Dogs.
And whatever anyone tells you, it was a shit heap.
But compared to this place, it was the garden of bloody Eden.
Everyone here's on a rake-off.
- I don't care about that.
- Neither do I.
I don't care if they do it by tax evasion or by laundering drugs money.
I don't care who's selling what, or who's buying who, because every bugger's on the take.
Only here here in Legoland, you can paper the walls with other people's money and they'll send in a government minister to bail you out.
we just took up a few handfuls of mud at low water, George, that's all.
You don't convince me, Charlie.
You don't really convince yourself.
Be on call tomorrow, George.
And, George take it easy on the sauce, eh? You'll be in the container less than 24 hours.
So you'll be brought out tomorrow night in England.
You'll be taken to London by different routes.
And these will be collected from you at the other end.
If you see what I mean.
They won't harm you.
we've got your money.
This is just a little favour.
Otherwise I can leave you here.
And Dutch immigration is just as fond of repatriation, believe me.
- They're tying a package onto the buoy.
- Right.
Odd behaviour.
It's probably cocaine.
- They'll send someone out to pick it up.
- That's not how they work.
- They're ringing the changes.
- Get me base, will you? I need to talk to the guv'nor.
we'll follow them.
I'll have the buoy watched, though.
This one doesn't smell right.
- Anything? - No one's been near the buoy, but Belling's been there, he reckons someone's watching it.
- Customs.
- He said could be.
- Might be someone pissing around.
- No, it has to be.
Bastards.
Go on.
You'll recognise several of the names on this.
There's a major drugs operation under way, Customs and Excise.
These people are all on Charlie McGregor's area drug squad.
- what's it got to do with us? - what it's got to do with us is that by the end of today, McGregor's squad may well be suspended pending investigation.
- This is a joke.
- I assure you it isn't.
Now, I want you to be ready to organise a task force at very short notice.
we do nothing, we say nothing, until we hear from Clark.
I see.
Need-to-know stuff.
And I didn't need to know, or couldn't be trusted.
It's not a question of trust.
The relationship with Customs is very delicate on this one.
- Clark's being delicate? - There are some other names on there.
I'd like to know if there's any personal connections with McGregor.
You'll know better than most.
whoever's blown it, it's blown.
I'll put out some feelers.
All I'm getting is cotton wool.
- And? - I can smell 'em - rubber heels.
In English, Charlie.
we were right to switch to a container.
They were waiting.
Customs, I reckon.
- They always want to grab too much.
- Including you.
Probably by now.
Put it this way, I'd rather not hang around to find out.
It's time to go, Harry, boy.
what about your, er mates? we've sorted out our arrangements, Harry.
I won't be taking a Metropolitan Police charabanc.
- You know your business.
- Yours too.
I was promised another 250 grand after today.
- I'd still like it, please.
- Come on.
You need me to disappear PDQ, Harry.
If I went down, I'd have to work very hard to limit the damage.
And every name I've got could mean a few years less inside.
Remember that.
You're a grasping old sod, you know that? - It's peanuts.
- It's yours.
I was born over there.
On the island.
This side of the river was like the other side of the world.
Over there it was shit, over here there was money.
A lesson was in the length of the foot tunnel.
It took me too many years to learn it.
I need to get out tonight.
It was a cockup, their cockup.
whatever they were doing had nothing to do with the yacht.
It was a decoy.
The package was empty.
And the only contraband that was found on that boat was a case of Burgundy.
They knew we were onto them.
- I wonder why.
- Leave it, Dave.
Guv'nor, I think we all know how highly our guests think of Chief Superintendent McGregor.
Looks like he'll be all right now.
He's in your hands.
Quiet retirement, promotion.
This was your shout, mate.
You screwed up.
It wasn't screwed up until you came.
So how did they know? McGregor's their eyes and ears.
So who's his? And I suppose you think they didn't even notice your bloke, Fisher.
- That will do.
- Harry.
Our guv'nor says I'm to hand it over to you, Tony.
If you want to talk about it later, we'll be in the pub.
Hey, Charlie.
- Know one thing that makes me happy - what's that? I'll never have to listen to any more of your crappy stories.
I don't know all the names but I've marked the ones I knew with Charlie at Hendon.
A few I met at parties.
Are we all meant to be involved? I doubt it.
I'm looking at his close oppos at area drug squad, maybe a few others.
Did you know Anderson? Never knew why Charlie put up with him.
Forensics were at Thames Division tonight.
Fisher's body was in the launch Anderson and Carr used to make contact with Chandler.
I see.
- I know this is difficult.
- Don't patronise me, Clark.
I may take it from the guv'nor, it goes with the job, but not from you.
Inspector Anderson.
Superintendent Clark.
CIB.
Yes.
I've been expecting you.
OK.
I'm ready.
It would be easier if you produced your records, Mr Patel.
I'm saying nothing.
I'm a businessman.
These are unlicensed premises.
Your working conditions break every rule in the book and we both know that you're using illegal immigrants.
- That is not the case.
- And you work for Karunadasa.
It's very likely that you'll go to prison, the only question is for how long? I think you'd be very wise to cooperate.
we all look like a bunch of wankers.
During the night, we lose Chandler and McGregor, end up with an inspector from area drug squad and prats from Taylor's division.
will anybody believe McGregor wasn't given the nod? - well, maybe he was.
- A short-term embarrassment now could be better than having him banged up for years.
At least Clark won't be so bloody cocky.
He won't be so cocky when he finds out Jenny Dean was screwing Hargreaves.
You enjoy your job, don't you, Graves? - Sorry, sir? - And you do it very well.
The extent to which Clark frequently pisses me off pales into insignificance beside my intense and permanent dislike of you.
Don't forget that.
He was 16.
- what was it? - Cocaine.
They were all carrying it in their stomachs.
Some of them have already passed the condoms, some haven't.
His burst.
I need to talk to the depot manager.
Did you know we've lost McGregor? - Lost? - we think he's already left the country.
Not much to show, is there? It's true, isn't it? - Isn't it? - All right, it's true.
- Is that what you want? - No, that's not what I want.
I want you to tell me that Graves is talking out of his arse, that you haven't been near Hargreaves, that you haven't been lying to me.
So how about it, huh? I knew something wasn't right, the way you were worrying about Hargreaves.
A bloke you met once? A bloke you didn't hear in the back of a panda? well, Superintendent Graves isn't so bloody stupid, and lying to him won't hurt him one little bit.
But it will put you in the deepest shit.
why don't you sod off? - well, that is one possibility.
- No one's asking you to stay.
You want me to go? Give me one good reason why I should stay.
Come on.
There's nothing.
There's no reason you should stay except I love you.
Oh, you love me.
Great.
when did you stop screwing Hargreaves? - I presume you have stopped.
- Don't be so stupid! You were giving us both the turn.
I don't know what I was doing any more than you knew what you were doing.
All I know is it was a mistake.
I love you.
And if you don't know that's the truth, then you're in the wrong job.
what are we gonna do? well If I knew where Charlie McGregor was, I'd say we should join him.
Failing that
Chandler and Hendriks are on board.
No sign of Karunadasa yet, guv.
Another car, Steve.
You'll clock it.
Any second Got it.
Karunadasa? Yeah.
Mmm.
with new tart.
Highly expensive.
No wonder they want to bring in more coke.
Do you want some party snaps, guv? Yeah.
This is what we've been waiting for.
Get in as close as you can.
But no risks.
And watch out for Chandler's heavies.
No problem, guv.
I'll just slip into something more comfortable.
Take it easy.
No, it's paparazzi stuff.
Piece of piss.
Chandler, Karunadasa, Hendriks, all in situ, 0010.
Fish are entering water, heading for Chandler's yacht.
Charlie, Charlie.
- Go on, Charlie.
- All right.
Look.
There's a lot of rumours flying around about why I'm taking early retirement.
There are those who are saying that my nose was put out of joint because Dick Sharp has got head of the drug squad.
well, all I can say is I'll be thinking of him from a deck chair in Spain.
Yes.
And when he gets tired of banging his head up against the brick wall that stops us getting the evidence to put any bugger behind bars, there'll be cold beer waiting in the fridge for him, OK? There are those who say that Charlie McGregor will use any excuse to get a few nights out on the town with the mates that he's worked with for the last 30 years.
Do you remember when the job used to be very simple? when we banged up villains if they broke the law.
That's right.
when we kept the streets clean and safe, and were bloody proud to do it.
we used to belong to the best police force on the planet, didn't we? well done, well done.
when somebody poked you in the face.
Before we knew that the real answer to crime on the streets was a lecture on sociology.
Remember, we were so pig-ignorant that we used to call PCs of the alternative gender wPCs.
The days before it was decided to rename the Black Museum the Museum Of Some Not Very Nice Things Encountered By Community Policeman, But That's Only Our Opinion.
well, all those seminars certainly got rid of crime in London, didn't they? Like hell they did.
So it's off with the old warts and on with the new.
Gentlemen The Met.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
It doesn't matter.
You are glad you're here? Course I am.
- I still want you to talk me through it.
- Oh, Jenny, it's the middle of the night.
I can't help it, Tony.
with this 163 hanging over me, they could call me in any time they like.
You've got nothing to worry about.
I'm scared, Tony.
- Just help me - Look, let's just get some sleep, huh? Come on, ladies, move, please.
Don't push your luck, Steve.
It will have to do.
Bit more patience, guv, just a bit more.
Yeah, that's better, now we're getting somewhere.
Karunadasa.
Chandler.
No Hendriks yet.
Must have gone for a snort.
I've lost Chandler's men.
Out, Steve, now.
- Good do.
- You always threw a good do, Charlie.
You're right.
So what are you gonna do in Spain? As little as possible.
A bit of sailing.
Got a little boat down there.
Nothing special.
The grandchildren like it.
- So the kids have all bred, have they? - Jane has.
Two boys.
David's still playing the field.
How about you? Best thing in the world.
- How are you getting on with CIB? - Oh, you know - Cheers.
Take care.
- Bye, Charlie.
- Great working with you.
- Cheers.
Good man.
I shan't be sorry to go.
I mean, who wants a police force with real coppers in it these days, eh? Something's come up, guv, car's outside.
Jesus.
They want their money's worth, don't they? See you, lads.
You take care, all right? No contact from Fisher for four hours.
Ryman, sir, I'm terribly sorry to wake you this time in the morning.
No.
I think we may have a problem.
- You haven't got to be in early.
- Eh? You said you'd talk me through the Carswell interview.
Oh, Jen, don't get so wound up.
You were driving your car, you picked up Hargreaves with Carswell.
wasn't your nick, you don't know anything.
But they'll want to know why I didn't come forward.
Carswell didn't confess in that car and that's what your mates want me to say.
If Hargreaves did fit up Carswell and Graves can prove it, no one is gonna worry about you.
It's not going to be all smiles and "thank you very much" at CIB, you know damn well.
- It wouldn't be if you were investigating.
- Be grateful I'm not, then.
I'm not laughing.
Sorry, darling.
- About time.
I've been waiting for you.
- Sir? Not here.
I'll fill you in on the background on the way.
This is half past midnight.
That's Karunadasa, he's the last guest to arrive.
Steve Fisher made radio contact.
It all started to break up by two-thirty, three o'clock.
Nothing really happened until four.
And that is Harry Chandler.
He's the guy who owns the yacht.
They head out onto the river.
where they're intercepted by a Thames Division launch.
There.
There are more pictures but they don't tell us very much.
The Thames Division boat moved upstream with Chandler's tender for some minutes out of sight.
The tender returned to Katherine's Dock some time later, and the Thames Division boat moved downstream towards wapping.
That's it.
And still no word from Steve Fisher.
wasn't there any backup for this? If we had backup, Chandler's get-together wouldn't have happened.
You didn't hear from your mate.
why didn't you call the police? I didn't think I needed to, Superintendent.
Mr Hughes, you've shown me photos of people arriving at and leaving a party on a yacht.
You've shown me a photo of Thames Division officers doing their job.
You haven't told me what crime I'm supposed to be interested in.
You've hinted at the involvement of Metropolitan Police officers of, your words, senior rank.
Now, I assume we're all here to talk about a Customs and Excise drugs investigation.
Drugs and illegal immigration.
A major network.
And this investigation is not being pursued in conjunction with any police drug squad, Met or otherwise? There was a police drug squad involved, only they were working for the opposition.
All right, Jim.
I could have put it more delicately, Commander, but basically, that's where we are.
You have the evidence to support this? My men aren't cowboys, Commander.
This investigation has implicated police officers at a senior level ever since Jim Ryman brought it to me.
I'd like some facts, Mr Hughes.
I think you'd better look through these.
Hello.
well, I wasn't exactly expecting you.
No, Eddie, I don't think there's much point.
Me? Actually, I'm contemplating my 163.
what are you doing? Oh, all right.
Yeah, I'll see you there.
No, Hughes knows what he's doing.
If Customs have found something, there's something to be found.
Charlie's drug squad is very highly regarded, it gets good results.
- Yeah, at a fairly low level.
- You believe it, then? If Charlie's attitude to policing hadn't fossilised somewhere around the mid-'60s, he might well be head of the drugs squad now.
If there are allegations against a man like that, it's in the interests of the Met either to make sure he's clean, or that they're involved in putting him away.
But we can't move without scuppering the Customs operation.
And if we wait No, that's not what Hughes wants.
Hughes wants you in.
But against his own people's wishes.
while we're at Customs, we talk to no one at CIB.
what exactly does "no one" mean? No one means everyone except Huxtable.
Not even Deakin.
we've got to play it the way Customs and Excise want it, secrecy and all.
- Charlie's got a lot of friends.
- He has.
I didn't tell our colleagues at Customs and Excise, but I was at his retirement do last night.
Oh, dear.
- You know, I really do miss the Met.
- Yes.
- well, it doesn't have to be forever.
- No, I hope not.
Talking of which, I think it's best not to mention my involvement in this to the commissioner.
Morning, guv, Mo.
I am in the right place, then? Yep.
Friendly lot, aren't they? One of their undercover ops disappeared.
The theory is he got the chop and the dealers called Thames Division to get rid of the body.
This is before we get on to Charlie McGregor's drug squad.
I tell it to you as it was told to me.
Let's say they don't regard us as the cavalry.
Like to come in, Superintendent? He must have talked to this bloke Graves.
He must know what they've got.
well, Tony and Graves aren't exactly mates.
Oh, right.
So what did Tony say? Look, Eddie, I didn't hear anything.
There was talkback on the radio, there was traffic.
The rest of the time there was silence.
- That's what I'll tell CIB.
- what Clark told you to say.
No one told me to say anything.
If you think I'll say I heard Carswell's confession, forget it.
Come on.
There's no need for that.
- I'm in the shit, Jen.
- I'm sorry.
I'm not jumping in there with you, OK? Look, whatever Tony says, he's on the inside, they're his oppos, they won't come down heavy on you.
Now, I know we haven't seen that much of each other lately, - but that's not my doing.
- Come on, Eddie.
Hearts and flowers won't get me to lie for you either.
I know that.
I meant it.
I know.
what the Thames has lost in cargo, it's made up for in other ways.
There's leisure craft coming across from the whole European seaboard.
There's stuff coming across from the Caribbean.
These are people with big money, though, legitimate money.
You can make big money a lot bigger by dropping kilos of cocaine into London.
That's a bit more background on the Chandler tie-in.
Started off as a few random searches.
In each case we're talking about chartered yachts.
One coincidence too many at first.
- A bit like McGregor's bent drug squad.
- 'Ey.
Hang on a minute.
- I've heard wild accusations in my time - Later.
One of those coincidences i that Harry Chandler owns 51% of the company, Albatross Charter.
One thing you won't find in there is a charter Albatross did last summer.
They provided a boat for a disabled kids' outing to Hampton Court free of charge.
The trip was organised by an inspector from Thames Division.
Maybe something dodgy did happen last night with a Thames Division boat.
Since we're not allowed to investigate, we don't know.
And now a kids' outing is some kind of crime.
- This is shit, guv.
- Let's just listen, eh? Our information is that there were two officers on the launch last night, an Inspector Anderson and a Sergeant Carr.
Anderson did the deal with Albatross Charter.
when you know what happened - Harry! - we're straying off the mark, Dave.
I don't see how anything to do with Steve's disappearance is off the mark.
- Just leave it! - Look, can we get one thing clear? If anyone wants Fisher's disappearance investigated, it can start when you want.
You're the ones holding back on that.
My guv'nor's instructions are to work to your orders for the time being.
Yeah.
McGregor? It's bollocks.
You're sure? Yeah, I'll be right down.
Perhaps you'd like to come with me, Superintendent? was that him? Yeah.
- Right.
Now we call in the Met.
- No.
- Now we wait.
Nothing's changed.
- Come on.
This could be a murder now.
- It was a murder yesterday.
- Look, I can't sit around waiting.
You're here to help me pull in some corrupt policemen, or to prove us wrong.
- Either way, you do as I say.
- what about the forensic evidence? when Chandler and his mate are in a nick, you can scrape away behind their nails until the cows come home.
That was my best friend, Superintendent.
Now, I don't think he's gonna thank me for blowing it now, do you? Hello.
Eddie.
No, I'm not particularly pleased.
Look, we've been through this.
I haven't changed my mind, so don't keep phoning me about it.
Look, just leave it, will you? It's a background on some established routes into Europe.
Thanks a bunch.
I got 500 back copies of the Police Review at home.
I'll bring them in for you.
- It will help to know what we're about.
- I know exactly what you're about.
- Now, there's a surprise.
- Hmm? If you'd asked me to put money on where Dave Ray would park an unwanted policewoman, I might have got the jackpot.
You talk.
I was beginning to wonder about some of the others.
Different species.
Zenab.
- Maureen.
- I'm Home Office Immigration.
I don't count as priority either, except that illegal immigrants might lead to the traffickers.
But at least I'm not seen as competition.
Or the enemy.
I don't think you'd be too happy if Steve Fisher was one of yours.
No, but neither am I too happy with what passes for proof around here.
Anyway, I don't know what Mr Ray wants me to do over here.
He wants you out of the way.
Any idea where Superintendent Clark is? - I thought he had a meeting with you.
- Yes.
- Good do last night.
- Yes.
I thought Charlie was on good form.
Surprised me.
He's one I thought they'd have to carry out screaming and kicking.
Couldn't wait to retire, though.
If Superintendent Clark comes back Oh, I'm sure he'll turn up.
No.
- Does she speak any English? - Oh, yes.
There is news of my case.
I am appealing.
I have to stay here, you see.
I'm sorry.
I'll let you know as soon as I hear.
If you remember a face She was working in a sweatshop in Brick Lane with 15 other women.
Seven of the women were illegal.
we know Sushita came in from Holland on one of Chandler's boats.
She came in with her husband and three children.
where are they? working somewhere else for some of Karunadasa's people.
They make a good investment.
You pay them next to nothing, charge them for filthy accommodation, and then blackmail them for whatever they bought with them for protection.
- what about Sushita? - what about her? - Can you help her? - Nope.
She goes back whether she helps us or not.
Hendriks is processing the drugs through Rotterdam.
Chandler and Karunadasa are bankrolling.
And if Customs are right, the Met doesn't even get a whiff because Charlie McGregor's on Chandler's payroll.
Then there's Karunadasa's immigrant network.
It spreads right up to Glasgow.
- we'll treat that as a separate issue.
- why? Our job is to investigate possible police involvement in the drugs network.
Now, when Customs move in to break up the drugs operation, we bring in the bad apples.
The rest is up to other squads.
If you'll forgive me for saying it, guv'nor, our job so far has been to sit around and be told bugger all about what these people are doing.
And to listen to unsubstantiated allegations about some bloody good coppers.
we've been on this a day, Harry.
They've had six months.
They should have brought in professionals earlier and gone looking for those extra packets of duty-free.
So long as no one thinks I'm enjoying myself.
- what about Thames Division? - what about 'em? A contact like that could be useful for anyone using the river.
See what you can find out about these two.
Inspector Anderson, Sergeant Carr.
without asking any questions, you mean? I think he's got it.
- Go on, piss off, both of you.
- Goodbye, then, sir.
Yeah.
Hello.
Mortuary, please.
Yeah.
Hi, it's Tony Clark.
I'm sorry to dump on you.
Yeah.
No, I can't go through the regular channels.
No.
would it be possible to have something by tomorrow morning? well, before breakfast would be better.
Yeah.
All right, I'll be there.
Yeah.
I gotta go.
I appreciate it.
- How's it going? - OK.
- what have you got on? - Oh, bits and pieces.
Just tidying up a few cases for the PCA.
- There's only one going anywhere.
- The rape? Yeah.
Forensics came up with the goods on that.
It will go to court.
- what's this? - Nothing much.
I don't suffer much from my stomach but my gut's been playing me up all day.
Ever since the guv'nor gave me the brushoff earlier.
Now, if someone's taking the piss out of me I don't know what you mean, chief.
Good.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Deakin's always got this look on his face, "I know when anyone farts in this place.
" For once, he didn't.
He really didn't and he didn't like it.
Don't do that now.
- I might as well.
- Leave it.
It's not every day I splash out £2.
50 on a bottle of wine.
- This is vintage stuff.
- I'm trying to wash up.
- what's the matter with the morning? - Please, Tony, I'm not in the mood.
well, I'm trying, Jen, but you haven't had two words to say since I got here.
I beg your pardon.
You didn't exactly reassure me this morning.
This investigation hasn't gone away just cos you shrugged your shoulders.
It's gonna be all right.
It's Hargreaves they're after.
- That's very comforting.
- It should be.
You don't even know him.
Maybe I'm just not in the mood for anecdotes about your chums at CIB.
I'm gonna find out all about them myself soon.
You want to pretend it's not happening.
- That's rubbish.
- Is it? Oh, forget it.
He's just sailed.
Chandler.
So? - Every time I see that bloody boat - It's finished.
Don't think about it.
OK? It starts with McGregor.
It lists every police contact logged by Customs in the last six months, between McGregor and Chandler, McGregor and Karunadasa, McGregor and Anderson.
well, it's all very thorough.
And all very circumstantial.
I think if we went all out on a murder investigation, I could find some cracks, but Ryman won't have it, I can't shift him.
we have to give Customs time to draw the noose.
I've had a word with the commissioner, we're embarrassed politically.
They have to have the first move.
But that doesn't mean we wait forever.
Oh, in the meantime, you might point out to Mr Ryman that if McGregor isn't caught with a kilo of crack in his briefcase, or a wad of notes covered in Chandler's fingerprints, we'll need confessions.
This won't impress the DPP.
Oh, uh, sir.
I don't think I'm doing a very good job in throwing Chief Superintendent Deakin off the scent.
- He doesn't know what I'm doing - But he knows it's something - he doesn't know about? - Roughly.
well, it won't do him any harm, will it? - Morning.
- Morning, sir.
Ooh.
Another new suit, Gravesy.
You're putting us all to shame.
Shit! I told you to do nothing and I told you why.
I don't need any more bloody policeman lousing up this operation, I've got enough of them out on the street.
It's just a pass from Forensics and a preliminary postmortem.
It's still an unidentified body, it's standard procedure.
Is it standard to send the results to a CIB officer? I got a mate to do the forensics.
No one knows.
There was an attempt to weigh down the body.
Is there a point to all this? Are you trying to mess up this operation because you're in the Met? The point is since you won't let me or my officers get near your operation, I intend to have something to hand on to the murder squad when you have finally cleared the planet of drug trafficking.
So what have you got? Fisher died as a result of a blow to the face and skull.
He was dead before he hit any water.
He was almost certainly moved downstream from St Katherine's dock and dumped.
I know that fits in with your theory.
what we've got so far is a number of paint traces, fibres, things that might locate him more specifically.
I'm not gonna move till you say so.
But I don't think the only trial you're gonna be attending is gonna be for drug smuggling.
- You know your problem? - what? You're doing exactly the same as I'd do.
Chandler and Karunadasa have met up with Hendriks in Amsterdam.
Chandler's got two chartered boats on hold, both due back in London tomorrow.
And Hendriks took delivery of a load of coke at the weekend.
This is the one.
I'd better talk to Holland.
OK.
Let's get ready.
- Are you in? - Yes, that's what we're here for.
You've had enough, you want out.
You said it.
You could have done me the courtesy of eating the food, though.
- It's all just a big joke to you, isn't it? - Money is never a joke with me, George.
And I've got quite a lot of it waiting for me now.
You're retiring.
- It's got to be the end of it for all of us.
- Exactly.
Get off the bloody boats and settle down to some serious fishing.
I mean, you're sitting on a decent little nest egg yourself.
It wasn't the money that dragged me into this, Charlie.
But you took it, George.
So did your mate Carr.
Yeah, we were both fools, weren't we? I know there's always another time, another favour.
But a body? For Christ's sake, Charlie! I try to tell Carr it doesn't really matter.
You knew what Chandler was up to.
You know he kills people.
You can't see these people, George.
But I have.
I've seen them die.
But I've stopped looking.
They're just statistics to me.
Take a look around you.
Go on.
I was born on the Isle of Dogs.
And whatever anyone tells you, it was a shit heap.
But compared to this place, it was the garden of bloody Eden.
Everyone here's on a rake-off.
- I don't care about that.
- Neither do I.
I don't care if they do it by tax evasion or by laundering drugs money.
I don't care who's selling what, or who's buying who, because every bugger's on the take.
Only here here in Legoland, you can paper the walls with other people's money and they'll send in a government minister to bail you out.
we just took up a few handfuls of mud at low water, George, that's all.
You don't convince me, Charlie.
You don't really convince yourself.
Be on call tomorrow, George.
And, George take it easy on the sauce, eh? You'll be in the container less than 24 hours.
So you'll be brought out tomorrow night in England.
You'll be taken to London by different routes.
And these will be collected from you at the other end.
If you see what I mean.
They won't harm you.
we've got your money.
This is just a little favour.
Otherwise I can leave you here.
And Dutch immigration is just as fond of repatriation, believe me.
- They're tying a package onto the buoy.
- Right.
Odd behaviour.
It's probably cocaine.
- They'll send someone out to pick it up.
- That's not how they work.
- They're ringing the changes.
- Get me base, will you? I need to talk to the guv'nor.
we'll follow them.
I'll have the buoy watched, though.
This one doesn't smell right.
- Anything? - No one's been near the buoy, but Belling's been there, he reckons someone's watching it.
- Customs.
- He said could be.
- Might be someone pissing around.
- No, it has to be.
Bastards.
Go on.
You'll recognise several of the names on this.
There's a major drugs operation under way, Customs and Excise.
These people are all on Charlie McGregor's area drug squad.
- what's it got to do with us? - what it's got to do with us is that by the end of today, McGregor's squad may well be suspended pending investigation.
- This is a joke.
- I assure you it isn't.
Now, I want you to be ready to organise a task force at very short notice.
we do nothing, we say nothing, until we hear from Clark.
I see.
Need-to-know stuff.
And I didn't need to know, or couldn't be trusted.
It's not a question of trust.
The relationship with Customs is very delicate on this one.
- Clark's being delicate? - There are some other names on there.
I'd like to know if there's any personal connections with McGregor.
You'll know better than most.
whoever's blown it, it's blown.
I'll put out some feelers.
All I'm getting is cotton wool.
- And? - I can smell 'em - rubber heels.
In English, Charlie.
we were right to switch to a container.
They were waiting.
Customs, I reckon.
- They always want to grab too much.
- Including you.
Probably by now.
Put it this way, I'd rather not hang around to find out.
It's time to go, Harry, boy.
what about your, er mates? we've sorted out our arrangements, Harry.
I won't be taking a Metropolitan Police charabanc.
- You know your business.
- Yours too.
I was promised another 250 grand after today.
- I'd still like it, please.
- Come on.
You need me to disappear PDQ, Harry.
If I went down, I'd have to work very hard to limit the damage.
And every name I've got could mean a few years less inside.
Remember that.
You're a grasping old sod, you know that? - It's peanuts.
- It's yours.
I was born over there.
On the island.
This side of the river was like the other side of the world.
Over there it was shit, over here there was money.
A lesson was in the length of the foot tunnel.
It took me too many years to learn it.
I need to get out tonight.
It was a cockup, their cockup.
whatever they were doing had nothing to do with the yacht.
It was a decoy.
The package was empty.
And the only contraband that was found on that boat was a case of Burgundy.
They knew we were onto them.
- I wonder why.
- Leave it, Dave.
Guv'nor, I think we all know how highly our guests think of Chief Superintendent McGregor.
Looks like he'll be all right now.
He's in your hands.
Quiet retirement, promotion.
This was your shout, mate.
You screwed up.
It wasn't screwed up until you came.
So how did they know? McGregor's their eyes and ears.
So who's his? And I suppose you think they didn't even notice your bloke, Fisher.
- That will do.
- Harry.
Our guv'nor says I'm to hand it over to you, Tony.
If you want to talk about it later, we'll be in the pub.
Hey, Charlie.
- Know one thing that makes me happy - what's that? I'll never have to listen to any more of your crappy stories.
I don't know all the names but I've marked the ones I knew with Charlie at Hendon.
A few I met at parties.
Are we all meant to be involved? I doubt it.
I'm looking at his close oppos at area drug squad, maybe a few others.
Did you know Anderson? Never knew why Charlie put up with him.
Forensics were at Thames Division tonight.
Fisher's body was in the launch Anderson and Carr used to make contact with Chandler.
I see.
- I know this is difficult.
- Don't patronise me, Clark.
I may take it from the guv'nor, it goes with the job, but not from you.
Inspector Anderson.
Superintendent Clark.
CIB.
Yes.
I've been expecting you.
OK.
I'm ready.
It would be easier if you produced your records, Mr Patel.
I'm saying nothing.
I'm a businessman.
These are unlicensed premises.
Your working conditions break every rule in the book and we both know that you're using illegal immigrants.
- That is not the case.
- And you work for Karunadasa.
It's very likely that you'll go to prison, the only question is for how long? I think you'd be very wise to cooperate.
we all look like a bunch of wankers.
During the night, we lose Chandler and McGregor, end up with an inspector from area drug squad and prats from Taylor's division.
will anybody believe McGregor wasn't given the nod? - well, maybe he was.
- A short-term embarrassment now could be better than having him banged up for years.
At least Clark won't be so bloody cocky.
He won't be so cocky when he finds out Jenny Dean was screwing Hargreaves.
You enjoy your job, don't you, Graves? - Sorry, sir? - And you do it very well.
The extent to which Clark frequently pisses me off pales into insignificance beside my intense and permanent dislike of you.
Don't forget that.
He was 16.
- what was it? - Cocaine.
They were all carrying it in their stomachs.
Some of them have already passed the condoms, some haven't.
His burst.
I need to talk to the depot manager.
Did you know we've lost McGregor? - Lost? - we think he's already left the country.
Not much to show, is there? It's true, isn't it? - Isn't it? - All right, it's true.
- Is that what you want? - No, that's not what I want.
I want you to tell me that Graves is talking out of his arse, that you haven't been near Hargreaves, that you haven't been lying to me.
So how about it, huh? I knew something wasn't right, the way you were worrying about Hargreaves.
A bloke you met once? A bloke you didn't hear in the back of a panda? well, Superintendent Graves isn't so bloody stupid, and lying to him won't hurt him one little bit.
But it will put you in the deepest shit.
why don't you sod off? - well, that is one possibility.
- No one's asking you to stay.
You want me to go? Give me one good reason why I should stay.
Come on.
There's nothing.
There's no reason you should stay except I love you.
Oh, you love me.
Great.
when did you stop screwing Hargreaves? - I presume you have stopped.
- Don't be so stupid! You were giving us both the turn.
I don't know what I was doing any more than you knew what you were doing.
All I know is it was a mistake.
I love you.
And if you don't know that's the truth, then you're in the wrong job.
what are we gonna do? well If I knew where Charlie McGregor was, I'd say we should join him.
Failing that
