00:00At the third stroke, it will be 11, 56 and 50 seconds.
00:30Come along with me. The night has opened up its eyes to see day.
00:44A thousand moving just as one. A feeling that's so certain that when this day is done,
00:54the fabled luck will come with the dawn casting light on the place, acting it out in our own special way,
01:04making our entrance and reading the lines, the story of people who live by the time.
01:24What's all this then? Giving the others a start, are you?
01:46Sunshine, are you going to work or aren't you?
01:53Sorry, Mr. Crawford. Hey, you know Travis, the bullying robber? He's escaped from Durham Jail. They reckon he's on Tyneside.
01:59I don't pay you to read the papers. I pay you to deliver them. Off.
02:03Yes.
02:04And don't forget, Mrs. Beckett, 22 Bladen Avenue. No papers till the 23rd. She's gone to Derby.
02:09OK, OK.
02:39Ah.
03:09There you are. Your tea's getting cold.
03:28Thanks.
03:30Anything?
03:32Jack Travis. He's escaped from Durham.
03:34Aye.
03:36You know, the bullying robber? They reckon he's in the area.
03:38Well, you've got no bullying, so you won't bother us.
03:40You're one of the guards here. It could be on.
03:49Pow, pow, pow!
04:01Oh, heck.
04:27There!
04:57You're not Mrs. Beckett?
05:16No, I don't suppose I am. Now, that one squeak out of you and you're done for, see?
05:24I've got to deliver my papers.
05:33All right. Another move like that and I'll blow your brains out, see?
05:38Is it loaded?
05:40Oh, heck.
05:56Sit down.
05:57Go on, sit!
05:59That's right.
06:05Hey, mister. I've got some string in me pocket.
06:08All right. Empty your pockets.
06:11On that table.
06:14And remember, one false move and nothing will give me greater pleasure than to blow your brains out
06:21and spread them across that wall like tomato ketchup.
06:24Well, go on. Empty your pockets.
06:35Where's the string?
06:43It's all right.
06:56Oh, very clever. Too clever.
07:00You want me to put this gun down, don't you?
07:04I'm not stupid, you know.
07:26One more trick, lad. One more trick and it'll be curtains.
07:39Have you killed many people?
07:41Enough. Yeah, enough. Not hundreds, you know.
07:48How many?
07:50Oh, several. Quite a few, you know.
07:58You killed the guard, didn't you?
08:00Guard? What guard?
08:02When he did the robbery.
08:03How do you know about the robbery?
08:05Everyone knows. It was in the paper.
08:08In the paper?
08:17You realise if you see my face, I won't be able to let you go?
08:20Why?
08:21Because you'll be able to identify me, won't you?
08:23But you're known already, aren't you?
08:25Yeah, well, I suppose I do have a certain notoriety.
08:30Then it wouldn't matter, then, would it?
08:32Besides...
08:33What?
08:34I have a terrible memory. I can't remember my own name sometimes.
08:37What is it? Any road?
08:38Fogelakly.
08:39Fogelakly?
08:40There, you remembered it, didn't you?
08:49What are you doing?
08:50Nothing.
08:51Well, go on.
08:55Right, lad. You're in for a long wait.
08:58What are we waiting for?
08:59Dark.
09:00Then what?
09:01Depends, doesn't it? I mean, you always wait for dark.
09:04Don't bother me. Only missing school, maths test, can do without that.
09:11Mrs Beckett should be in soon.
09:13Oh, really? And where's she got to at this time in the morning?
09:17I don't know. Oh, she's walking her dog.
09:19Get her away.
09:20Big beast he is. Rover. Alsatian. They're related to wolves, you know.
09:25Aren't we, Bright?
09:26She has to keep them on a muzzle.
09:28Oh, then we'll be quite safe.
09:31She always takes it off, just as she comes in, in case of burglars.
09:35How long has she had this dog, then?
09:37Years. She keeps him half-starved through his ravenous.
09:40She's thought of...
09:41What are you laughing at?
09:43Thought of Aunty Bessie with an Alsatian.
09:46Aunty Bessie?
09:47My auntie. What lives here?
09:49Mrs Beckett, your auntie.
09:50And why not?
09:52No reason.
09:53You know, she's gone to Derby.
09:55So whatever your little game is, it don't work. See?
10:01Shut up and let me read the paper.
10:05What happens when people start missing me?
10:08They have to find you, don't they?
10:14Who was that on the phone?
10:16Harrison's three Sutton Row.
10:18They haven't had their papers either.
10:20I'll paralyse him when I get hold of him.
10:22Oh, Jack, it's not like him.
10:24I just hope there's not been an accident.
10:26Accident? He's gone off.
10:27I heard Bess saying last night they had a maths test.
10:29He wouldn't just do a bonk for a test. Don't talk ridiculous.
10:32I'll ask the others. They might know something.
10:36There could have been an accident.
10:38Not another one.
10:43Nothing but rubbish.
10:45You only read the sports page.
10:47No, I don't.
10:48I read the cartoons.
10:51Well, then I'll have thought the front page would interest you.
10:54Front page? Why?
10:59Nothing new here.
11:00Seen it all before a hundred times.
11:02What's your name, then?
11:06Oh, lad, what, do you think I am born yesterday?
11:09I'm not giving you my name.
11:11You know too much already. You've seen my face.
11:14Oh, don't worry. It's a very common face.
11:16I can remember it honest.
11:18You look like a hundred people.
11:21Do I?
11:22Besides, I know who you are.
11:24Who?
11:25Man, you're Jack Trevis, aren't you?
11:27No secret about that. Your story's spread all over the headlines.
11:31Jack Trevis?
11:33Bullion Robert, that was a right prank.
11:35I read every word of it.
11:37They still don't know where you hid it, though, do they?
11:39To tell the truth, I admired you.
11:41You really worked it out.
11:43Bullion Robert.
11:44You must have had accomplices.
11:46You couldn't have done it all on your own.
11:48Is that why you're out?
11:50To get even?
11:52Did you shoot that guard?
11:54I'll shoot you if you don't stop talking!
11:56Sorry.
11:58It's just... I mean...
12:00What are you stopping here for?
12:02You should be on your way.
12:04I'll blow your nose.
12:06How can I?
12:07Then sniff quietly.
12:11That's better, lad.
12:15It's the good likeness, the photograph.
12:19You saw it.
12:20Let's have a look.
12:27God, it's perishing in here.
12:30Put the fire on.
12:31Don't work. Electric's off.
12:33Is it?
12:34I just said so, didn't I?
12:35Beat the meter.
12:36I never thought of that.
12:38Had a way.
12:39What?
12:40You steal millions and millions from the Royal Mint or whatever,
12:43and had a way, man.
12:45Yeah, well...
12:46I didn't have no change, did I?
12:48You should always have change if you're on the run.
12:51Why?
12:52For telephone calls, electric meters.
12:54I don't know. I haven't been on the run, have I?
12:56You got any change, then?
12:57Have a heck. I don't get paid till tomorrow.
12:59I don't believe you.
13:00I'm cool too, you know.
13:02All I've got's on that table.
13:12We'll just have to be cold at...
13:14Yeah.
13:16Alice.
13:17Marbles.
13:18What I said.
13:19Do you play?
13:20Sometimes.
13:22I used to be a champion.
13:24Oh, aye?
13:25I was once.
13:26Give me a game.
13:27Nah, kid stuff.
13:29Go gamble, marbles.
13:30For money.
13:32You haven't got any.
13:33Have you?
13:38That wiped the smile off your face, didn't it?
13:40There must be millions.
13:42There's a fair bit.
13:43Is it part of your haul?
13:45Oh, yeah.
13:46A bit of it.
13:47Not all, you know.
13:48Some.
13:49Where did you have it all hidden?
13:52You ask too many questions.
13:56It won't go off, will it?
13:57Only if I press the trigger.
14:02You could be quite useful to me, lad.
14:04How?
14:05Give me a bit of cover when I make a break for it.
14:08Where will you make for?
14:10I expect the docks, eh?
14:12I'm getting a ship for South America.
14:15Have you got a passport?
14:17Oh, I expect you have.
14:19You just fancy.
14:20What?
14:21Oh, nothing.
14:22What?
14:23I'll be able to sell my story to the papers.
14:25Me and the bullying robber exclusive.
14:29Dead men tell no tales.
14:42I've still haven't lost me touch.
15:02Told you I were a champion.
15:03I'll give you a game.
15:04Do you want one?
15:05If you like.
15:06Oh, no.
15:07Very clever.
15:09I'd have to untie you, wouldn't I?
15:12God, it's perishing in here.
15:14I'm hungry.
15:15Yeah, I could do with some nosh myself.
15:17Any food in the kitchen?
15:19Yeah.
15:20Now, look.
15:21Leave me no bag.
15:23Clean that plate up.
15:25Are you sure?
15:26Yes, I am.
15:28And I'm not leaving you where I can't keep my eye on you.
15:31So, shut up.
15:32Sorry?
15:33It's going to be a long wait.
15:35What is?
15:36Till dark.
15:37I've not had any breakfast even.
15:40What?
15:45Mr. Crawford.
15:46Just found Gog's bag.
15:48Where was it?
15:49Middle of Blaydon Avenue.
15:50I was taking a shortcut back.
15:52No sign of Gog?
15:53No, I was just lying on the pavement.
15:55What the devil's the answer?
15:57Check it back then, see if anyone's seen him.
16:00Will you quit sniffing?
16:02I can't help it, can I?
16:03I've got a cold coming.
16:05You'll be cold soon.
16:07You'll be cold soon enough, don't you worry.
16:10Is that a Beretta?
16:11What?
16:12Your gun.
16:13It's a gun, innit?
16:14What kind?
16:15What's it matter what kind?
16:17It can still do the job, can't it?
16:24Shh.
16:25Not a word.
16:28Gog?
16:31Gigi?
16:32He's got a gun.
16:34Hold on a minute.
16:36I'll get help.
16:37You silly little twerp.
16:39What do you want to go and do that for?
16:41I'm sorry, mister.
16:42Go and throw yourself about.
16:43You were supposed to be tied up.
16:45How did he know you was here anyway?
16:47I don't know.
16:48How?
16:49I don't know, honest.
16:50Who was he anyway?
16:51I don't know.
16:52I don't know.
16:53I don't know.
16:54I don't know.
16:55I don't know, honest.
16:56Who was he anyway?
16:57Gigi's new mate.
16:58And what'll he do?
16:59Get Mr. Crawford, I expect.
17:00And?
17:01Well, coppers.
17:03Blimey.
17:06That's done it.
17:08I'll have to get out of here.
17:09How?
17:10Where?
17:11Oh, stop staring, will you?
17:12You're terrified.
17:13Where can I go?
17:14You're not the bully and robber, are you?
17:16Of course I'm not the bully and robber.
17:18I'm Sid Pickles.
17:19Sid Pickles.
17:20You've heard of me, have you?
17:22Never.
17:23Well, you should have.
17:24You're dead scared.
17:25I must have been mad I've been taken in by you.
17:27Just when we was getting on so well together.
17:30Going and ruining it like that.
17:32What were you doing here, anyway?
17:34Were you nicking?
17:35No, I told you.
17:37It's my auntie's.
17:38I was hiding.
17:39Why?
17:40I did a job last night.
17:41Where?
17:42Sweetie's shop, corner of Basildon Street.
17:44Sweetie's shop?
17:45I always do Sweetie's shops.
17:47I've cornered the market in them.
17:49Trouble is, cops seem to know it's me as soon as I've done it.
17:52I only got out the nick last week.
17:54One week out.
17:55One week.
17:56I spend more time inside than I do out.
17:58It's not fair.
17:59Well, you shouldn't get caught.
18:00They know my style.
18:01You're pathetic.
18:02Here, watch it.
18:04Put it away.
18:05You couldn't shoot peas.
18:06Use your love.
18:08The cops will be here before you can say knife.
18:11Oh, I fancy being snatched by someone like you.
18:14Go on, run.
18:16Out the back, through the buildings,
18:18and you'll be on the bypass by the time they're here.
18:21Then what?
18:22I don't know.
18:23Pitch.
18:24Flip a neck.
18:25Do I have to tell you how to do everything?
18:27You want me to get away.
18:28Want you to?
18:29I'll pay you to.
18:30Goggle, I clean the petty thief.
18:32No, thanks.
18:33I'd never live it down.
18:35I've done a few jobs, you know.
18:37Sweetie's shops.
18:38And I've done porridge.
18:39Heaps of it.
18:40I've done more porridge than you've had hot dinners.
18:43I've been doing porridge ever since I was a lad.
18:45I'll tell you something.
18:46If I was a villain, I wouldn't get caught.
18:49And I wouldn't carry a gun.
18:51That can get you into real trouble, that can.
18:53This ain't mine.
18:54I suppose you nicked it from the sweetie shop.
18:56It's my auntie's.
18:57Get away, lad.
18:58Pull the other one.
18:59Mrs. Beckett.
19:01It hangs on the wall there.
19:02She put it there the day Uncle Fred dropped dead.
19:05And it's not been moved since.
19:07Oh, go on.
19:08Make a run for it.
19:09No, I can't keep on running.
19:11Keep on.
19:12You haven't started.
19:13They'll catch up with me sooner or later.
19:15I'm known.
19:17Every time a sweetie shop gets done, they pick me up.
19:20It's a sore pattern.
19:22Mind, I have been doing it ever since I was a lad, sweetie shops.
19:26Funny lad.
19:27Never did like sweeties.
19:29Why don't you try something else?
19:30A bank or something?
19:31They're very tricky banks.
19:33Don't fancy them.
19:34I'll tell you what you need.
19:35You need a partner with brains.
19:38I have thought about it, but nobody...
19:41I've never found anyone quite my style.
19:44Unless...
19:45What?
19:46Well, by the time I get out for this job, you might like to join me.
19:50We'd make a good team.
19:52Sid, will you go, please?
19:59The street's empty.
20:01Oh.
20:03Is it?
20:05You don't want to escape, do you?
20:08Not really.
20:09It's what I'm used to, the nick.
20:12Give us the gun.
20:13You're that pathetic.
20:14All right, Trevor.
20:15You're surrounded.
20:16Nowhere else.
20:17Come out quietly.
20:18Let the boy confirm.
20:20All my life, people have called me pathetic.
20:23That's because you are.
20:24All my life.
20:25You're pathetic, Sid.
20:26You're pathetic.
20:27Can you imagine that?
20:29You're pathetic.
20:31Come on.
20:32Get back.
20:33Sid, it won't be loaded.
20:36You need some encouragement, even in crime.
20:39Jack Travis.
20:40Oh, yes, everyone's very impressed.
20:42But Sid Pickles...
20:44Oh, I'm getting fed up with this.
20:47Come on, I'm hungry.
20:48Give us the key and we can go.
20:52That was a shot.
20:53But why didn't they do something?
20:58Oh, my God, I've killed him.
21:00I've killed him.
21:01I've killed him.
21:02What am I going to do?
21:04I've killed him.
21:05You haven't.
21:08Have you?
21:09He didn't touch me.
21:13All right, on your feet.
21:15We're going out.
21:16You said it wouldn't be loaded.
21:18Well, he shouldn't play with guns, a great kid of your age.
21:21Go on, on your feet.
21:22Give us the key to the door.
21:24One false move and I'll blow your brains out.
21:27Careful with that thing.
21:28It's loaded.
21:29Oh, well, watch what you do with it.
21:33Can I keep the marbles?
21:35What?
21:36As a reminder.
21:37Of what?
21:42Here.
21:44Swap you.
21:45Oh, no.
21:47That stolen property is that.
21:49I'm not getting caught that easily.
21:56Go on.
22:03Don't shoot.
22:04I'm coming out.
22:06That's not Jack Travis.
22:09You should have made a run for it.
22:11Not my style, running.
22:13He overpowered me.
22:14Didn't stand a chance.
22:15Had a way, Sid Pickles.
22:17Here, stick to marbles in future.
22:38I'll be right back.
23:08Next week in the paper, lads, more growing pains for Baz and Sam.
23:38Is that all right?
23:39Get down.
23:44Going to risk it?
23:45Aye.
24:08Come on.
24:39Hang her, you.
24:51Sam and Baz running into more trouble in the paper, lads, next week.
25:02A new paperback book describing the many adventures of the paper, lads,
25:05is now available in most bookshops.
25:07And the theme music of the series by Renaissance
25:09is available on a new single from your local record shop now.
