locked in the back of the van.

Back up there, soldier.

You're confusing the old boy.

Run it past us, we'll sort it out.

Tell him.

Without the sigh,

thank you, Sergeant.

Yes, sir.

-Robbery in Henleaze.

-Staffordshire.

Bristol.

Outside a building society.

Security van, sir.

Seventy-five...

Thousand.

Yes, thousand, sir.

-Shooters?

-No, sir.

I was just telling

detective Morris...

And now you're telling me.

-Witnesses?

-No, sir.

Come, come, Sergeant.

I'm including security guards

as witnesses.

So am I, sir.

And they didn't see nothing.

Didn't see anything, Sergeant.

Not home to Mr. Double Negative

are we?

So you're telling me...

...someone made off

with seventy-five large...

...in broad daylight,

from the security van...

...outside a building society

and nobody saw anything?

Is this whole town asleep?

And we've finally caught up.

Alright, Sarge, keep an eye out

for any copycats...

...connections, similar runs,

word from London links.

You don't mind if I tap up

a few of my contacts...

...for the word on the street, Sid?

Tap away, Stringer. Tap away.

Hello, Arthur. Everything alright?

This is coming along well.

It's a work of art.

Just wondered if you had...

...a hand held angle grinder

that I could borrow?

I'll have a look.

Something I can help you with?

No, no.

It's not that big a job.

I'm just doing a favour

for Iris next door.

Here you are.

Diamond tipped wheel,

if you've got it.

You did it.

A spokesperson from the Bristol

and South West Police...

...stated that the robbery would

have taken months of planning...

...by a highly organised

criminal gang.

Security on all vans

has been doubled in a move...

...that banks say is a purely

precautionary measure.

It's widely believed...

...that they money will have been

laundered already and...

...passed through a sophisticated

underground network...

...making it almost impossible

to trace.

Arthur, it's beautiful.

The Valencia Getaway.

Top of the range.

No!

And I've planned

our first itinerary.

Five houses, all your favourites.

We're finally going to get away.

Oh, you're such a wonderful man!

They're opening up

the Eastfield Inn tonight.

Yeah.

They've got a new chef.

Very good, apparently.

I thought we might go there

for a bite to eat this evening.

Well, let's see.

I might have to work late tonight.

Yes, of course. Silly me.

What was I thinking?

Martha, I'm going.

Just going to go

and get the fish for tonight.

Have you got your bag for life?

Ok.

Martha, I seem to have lost my...

I think we need to

have a little chat, don't you?

How much?

Fifty thousand pounds.

It said seventy-five
