Ridley Road

Dad spoke to his friend at The Chronicle,

they'll do a big engagement announcement.

You have the most intelligent eyes I've ever seen. Just like my mother.

I think we'd better take this young lady on a drive.

Where are we? You want to see Peter, don't ya?

Such a beautiful house.

Come back with me. How are we getting on?

It's a huge house. There were men doing exercises.

It's Spearhead. What's that? Jordan's been eyeing up

his own paramilitary force but we weren't sure if he had

the numbers or the equipment. And that's how we'll get them.

It's a cavity transmitter.

Now, you are going to help Jack plant that wherever Jordan works.

I'm a fighter, Nancy. You ready?

Oh!

BANGING ON DOOR

What's happened? I got jumped.

You beauty.

Spiritual victory is ours.

You're safe here, Miss Carpenter. Those thugs can't get you now.

I do want you to talk with me.

Be with me, that's all.

# Lavender blue, dilly-dilly

# Lavender green

# I'll be your king, dilly-dilly

# You'll be my queen. #

Wakey, wakey.

SHE GASPS

Oh, sorry. I didn't know how to get you up.

You weren't 'alf in a deep sleep.

Oh, don't worry you. You're decent.

I said I don't want to!

No, I don't!

SHOUTING

What time is it?

It's a little after eight.

All the boys are hungover something rotten.

So, I did a fry-up, didn't I?

The leader seemed to be in high spirits after seeing you.

Such a powerful speaker.

DOOR SLAMS

Shall we go check on little Paul?

It's not little Paul.

That's Francoise. Who's Francoise?

The leader's wife.

They want a date.

They expected a little more movement, Colin,

like what was discussed in Paris.

I don't have to answer to those geriatrics in Paris.

Then what was the point in going, in all those endless discussions?

You know the point. You know it very well.

I don't know what to tell you. Whatever you want.

When will you strike? Paul?

No, come here!

It's not delay, it's strategy.

It's about pragmatism. I've told you. Bang.

Have you come to assassinate us all?

No. Sorry, Paul found it.

I'm not sure it's safe.

Of course it's not safe, it's a pistol

and he's an eight-year-old boy.

So, who is this, Colin?

A nanny or a mistress?

Or have you got lucky and found a woman for both?

Jane, this is my wife, Francoise Dior.

Francoise, Jane is a friend of the movement.

Hmm. He thinks pushing his mistresses in my face

will do something, but it does nothing. No.

No, honestly.

SHE GASPS

She has your mother's eyes, Colin.

Careful you don't fall in love. You know how your mother

let you down. Jane, gather your things.

Best you leave right away. Does she really have to leave, Daddy?

Daddy?

Daddy?

Please, we'll have such fun. Please let her stay.

Lee will drive you. Yes. Yes, of course.

How are you getting on?

I fixed up your blouse. I mean, it's not tailor standard,

but, you know, I tried my best. Thank you.

Do you want me to wash yours for you? Oh, no, no, no.

It's all right. I'll take it to laundry.

Here you go. You must've dropped it.

That's not mine.

Isn't it?

Oh. How strange.

Sorry. My mistake.

KNOCKING Jane?

You need to come right away.

Bet you got a shock, seeing his missus this morning.

She's a looker, ain't she?

Proper classy bird, that one. All the lads are mad for her.

What about you? Are you mad for her?

I'm not here for all that.

I don't care about the spotlight,

swigging champagne with the lah-de-dahs.

I got a baby on the way, ain't I?

When the uprising comes and the leader's in charge,

he's promised the party'll buy all us members a house each.

A big house, with a garden and that, for our loyalty, like.

Never had nothing like that before, me and Elise,

so we're gonna do good by him.

Sounds wonderful.

Lucky baby.

So, how'd you grow up, then?

Me? Yeah, you.

Oh, my goodness! Are we going in that?

How marvellous! Not bad, is it?

1961 Jaguar Mark 10.

Triple carburettor engine with independent rear suspension.

I tried to be a cabbie, but they took my money and failed me,

didn't they?

It's a racket. Do you manage to take Elise out in it much?

Not likely, with Lady Dior in town.

I'll be ferrying her about.

HQ tonight, then to Claridge's, probably,

where most of our subs end up nowadays.

Is there a meeting at HQ tonight?

Wowzers. Right, come on. Would you look at this place!

Oh, no, I'm ready to go. I don't need the whole thing,

I'm ready to start. Come on, get in.

# Oop-oop, oop, oop-oop

# Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop

# There's a man in the funny papers we all know

# Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop

# He lives way back a long time ago

# Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop

# He don't eat nothin' but a bear cat stew

# Alley-Oop, oop... #

Sorry I'm late.

The bus took ages. Relax your hand, son.

That's it.

Here, Viv. Take a look at this.

Chrissy! What on earth?

I met this fella, took me for a knickerbocker glory, didn't he?

He had one spoon of ice cream, and honestly, sucking me all over,

he was. Once he started I couldn't get him off!

All right, leave it out.

Get back to work.

She's got the hump cos Stevie's got jumped again.

What happened to him? Ah, the usual.

White lads having a laugh roughed him up a bit.

Why he don't grow a pair and stand up for himself,

I don't know.

But they took his books from him, didn't they?

Hit him where it hurt.

She'll be a moody mare all day now.

Always is when he gets a beating.

# Don't blame me

# I can't help the way I feel

# Don't you know that this is for real?

# This love, dear

# Don't blame me

# If I fall for all your charms and I take you in my arm... #

Oh, you beauty!

Nice one, Vivien.

# Don't blame me

# If I fall for all your charms. #

TAPE CRACKLES

Yes, yes, type it out, please. Get it printed.

I want all members with a copy tonight.

They are the crawling vermin festering under the pain

and struggle of the white man.

Well, are we weakling rats or powerful overlords

controlling the world? Make your bleedin' mind up.

But, commie bastards don't know what's coming to them.

How dare you? I'm a capitalist bastard.

I own the biggest cab firm in London, darling.

I drop your daughters home at night.

All right, Dad?

Here's a commie bastard.

You got the tapes, then? She did well.

It does my nut in being called a commie.

Nothing wrong with wanting a fair distribution

of all those resources, Dad.

..the meeting, it's been set up, it's been agreed.

You have to put your pride to the side this time, Colin.

Play that back. For God's sake, what's wrong with you?

No leader...

TAPE REWINDS

..the meeting, it's been set up. It's been agreed.

You have to put your pride to the side this time, Colin.

For God's sake, what's wrong with you?

No leader would tolerate it.

Must be big for him to get that worked up.

Why are you so afraid of confrontation?

We've got to get Vivien back in, Dad.

Hello.

Hello. Got two minutes? We need to talk.

Barbara, would you mind if I show you this lady

some of the hairpieces we have in stock? Go on.

Oh, Nancy. It's all right. You're all right,

you're out of there. I slept in his room, Nancy.

I tried SO hard to stay awake.

Did he touch you? Did he lay a finger on you?

No. One of the NSM girls found my hairdressing card.

She said I dropped it on the carpet, but I don't know how it got there.

Did you tell her you worked here? No, I didn't. I denied it, but...

..I did tell her that I was a hairdresser.
