Robbery Page #5

...in Paddington, l thought.

Good.

Well, come on lads...

...let's get this over with.

l've got a meeting with the...

...Commissioner in ten minutes.

Now, then...

...anything fresh on the

Robinson escape?

Well, he had outside help,

of course...

...but I think we'll have him back...

...inside in a matter of days.

Reasons?

Well, he's an amateur, sir.

"Good conduct" man.

First-time loser.

No underworld connections.

Who helped him over

the wall, then?

Well, he probably made friends inside.

What? They sprung him for love?

Let's hear your thinking, George.

Well, I think somebody wanted

Robinson out, sir.

l've got his file here.

Listen to this.

lt says:
"...the accused was attached

to security department...

"...of his bank shortly after promotion

from chief cashier."

"He handled matters concerned with..."

"...safety and care of bank vaults..."

"...and safeguarding high-value currency."

The Case Officer added...

... that "...he made no use of this..."

"...knowledge but committed

straight-forward embezzlement."

So?

Well, that's why Robinson's out.

Somebody's planning a big job...

...and they need his know-how!

Maybe.

Well, I'll get on to records...

...sir, and get a rundown on

the jail friends...

...past and present. l think

it'll be useful.

Any idea whatjob they

could be planning?

Er, something special, and I, er...

...think I know when.

More "information received"?

No, sir. The calendar.

My guess is it's due over the

Bank Holiday when the...

...banks are closed for three days.

That will give them three

days and nights...

...to open up the bank vaults.

But l, er, know you dislike

guesswork, sir.

There's a time and place for it.

l think you might be right.

So, lads - you can tell your

delighted wives...

...that Squad leave is restricted

over the Bank Holiday.

That's all.

l just want to speak to her!

Just for a moment.

She's not alone.

But of course she is!

That woman sitting over there

is a policewoman.

How do you know?

lt's a special brand of

perfume they wear.

Use your head, Robinson.

Your wife's followed wherever

she goes.

What do you expect?

To think that I---

Stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Well, now you know what

you're risking.

l wasn't feeling sorry for

myself, you know?

l've had time to think.

Night after night.

What did you think about?

About my family.

How I can make it up to them

for what I've done.

Well, a hundred thousand pounds

would help, wouldn't it?

lf I do what you want...

...what happens to them?

They'll be brought out to

Switzerland, to join you.

Passports provided.

We'd never be able to

come home again.

Home is a Swiss bank account.
