- Mr Gorman?

- Oh, sorry. A week.

Business or pleasure, sir?

Strictly pleasure.

- Lieutenant Brannigan?

- Yes? How did you know?

Headquarters told me to look for someone

slightly smaller than the Statue of Liberty.

Detective Sergeant Jennifer Thatcher.

Scotland Yard.

They've made real improvements

since I was last here.

Well, thank you. This way, sir.

Where's my man?

The prisoner, Ben Larkin.

Oh, Commander Swann

is handling the extradition.

- And the return ticket reservations?

- Sir Charles has taken care of that.

- He's expecting you for lunch at his club.

- Sir Charles?

Sir Charles?

I've been assigned as your driver,

and to take care of you while you're here.

- To keep an eye on me, you mean.

- Well, not quite. It's more of a PR job.

Anyway, it'll make a nice change

from the vice squad.

- All clear, sir.

- Right.

Mel...

I'm the one that's gonna take the heat.

Now, nothing can screw up.

Stay cool, Ben.

It's ticking like a Swiss watch.

- Good morning, Mr Larkin.

- Good to see you, Jules.

- Morning, Ben.

- Morning, boys.

(whispers) Larkin's here.

Get me a box

at the dog races tonight, Gates.

Oh, yeah.

Call Jimmy-the-Bet and tell him

to put 400 on Triple Cross.

Ready when you are, Mr Larkin.

Good.

You've been to England before, sir?

That's right, Miss Thatcher -

during the war.

I expect you'll find London's changed

quite a bit, but it's basically the same.

It's still a very beautiful city.

If there are any places

you'd like to revisit...

Right now what I'd like is eight hours of

sleep, a shower and a change of clothes.

And to get my hands in Larkin's lapels.

Yes, sir.

Oh.

If I sound like a bear cub

with a toothache, it's just...

I understand, sir.

My father flew with the RAF.

Huh?

He said there were three things

wrong with Yanks.

- Yeah?

- Overpaid, oversexed...

and over here.

I really walked into that one.

And deserved it. I'm sorry.

Might we start again, sir?

Why? We're doing fine.

I was just thinking - can I call you Jenny?

Of course.

Boy, I knew a great gal named Jenny.

Whoo!

She used to lend me money

when I was broke.

Did she contribute

any other... philanthropies?

We were friends.

Good friends.

Damn good friends.

(hums)

- All right, Mr Larkin.

- Hello, hello, hello.

Would you mind lying down,

facing this way?

- All right.

- And relax.

Excuse me, Captain. I've got

a steam cabinet out there for delivery.

Well, the pool's down there, but you'll

have to go outside. I'll show you the way.

(rattling)

Excuse me, Tom. There's a delivery.

What? I don't know

anything about a delivery.

- Neither do I.

- It's a rush order. Where shall we drop it?
