The gaming industry

29
00:02:37,163 --> 00:02:42,602
creates gambling addicts,
misery and family break up.

30
00:02:42,603 --> 00:02:44,602
That's what they say -

31
00:02:44,603 --> 00:02:46,362
the do-gooders,

32
00:02:46,363 --> 00:02:48,562
the lentil jockeys outside.

33
00:02:48,563 --> 00:02:53,522
Oh, yes! They look like they really
know how to have a good time(!)

34
00:02:53,523 --> 00:03:00,042
They look like an advert for cancer research! What do
they want you to do with your money? Put it in a bank?

35
00:03:00,043 --> 00:03:01,922
A pension plan?

36
00:03:01,923 --> 00:03:04,842
That's just gambling
without the fun!

37
00:03:04,843 --> 00:03:09,962

41
00:03:25,443 --> 00:03:31,802
But, ladies and gentleman and fellow
investors, it doesn't stop here. Oh, no.

42
00:03:31,803 --> 00:03:35,803
It's gold rush time and guess
who's shitting gold nuggets!

43
00:03:36,843 --> 00:03:43,842
This time next year, you'll all be back for
the opening of the Ripley Holden casino hotel!

00:03:43,843 --> 00:03:45,642
All: Yeah!

45
00:03:45,643 --> 00:03:49,683
I declare this arcade
open! Let's live the dream!

00:03:56,403 --> 00:04:01,442
All right, lads, glad you could
make it. Congratulations. Nice one.

47

Get playing! I've put £500 behind the counter.
Joker poker, beaver Las Vegas, two in the bush!

48
00:04:07,283 --> 00:04:12,282
I had no idea the opening would be so
beckhamesque. Praise venture capital!

49
00:04:12,283 --> 00:04:18,122
The investment plan's not as simple as you're
making out. Come here. Stop messing about.

50
00:04:18,123 --> 00:04:21,002
I wanted to see if it
looked like failure to you!

51
00:04:21,003 --> 00:04:26,042
I love what you're doing, but the
inland revenue own a chunk of this.

52
00:04:26,043 --> 00:04:29,362
I never got my bins emptied
last week. Did I ask for a refund?

53
00:04:29,363 --> 00:04:35,322
Barry! Set the one-arms to 90%. I want to hear
cash falling faster than your wife's pants.

54
00:04:35,323 --> 00:04:40,482
Hello, love. Just a bit of
banter. Barry's a bit deaf anyway.

55
00:04:40,483 --> 00:04:43,522
And he's not married,
so no real offence.

56
00:04:43,523 --> 00:04:47,202
I've reserved a dance stage for
you. I'm not showing myself up.

57
00:04:47,203 --> 00:04:52,882
Too good for a college girl? How about weakest
link? Millionaire? Dad, I've got to go.

58
00:04:52,883 --> 00:04:57,282
What? I'm meeting someone.
Someone I might approve of this time?

59
00:04:57,283 --> 00:05:01,242
I doubt it. You can't walk out
- this is our big night! Danny!

60
00:05:01,243 --> 00:05:05,562
Your sister's too bright be
here. She's a student... Here,

61
00:05:05,563 --> 00:05:08,403
go and have a good time. I will.

62
00:05:09,403 --> 00:05:15,482
Not bad for a thick kid, eh? Not bad at all.
You know anything about this new boyfriend?

63
00:05:15,483 --> 00:05:19,962
I didn't know she had one. Got to
be an improvement on that biker.

64
00:05:19,963 --> 00:05:26,242
Special needs meets special brew. She's got to make
her own mistakes. She hasn't finished making them yet?

65
00:05:26,243 --> 00:05:30,122
Oh, thank you so much for
coming. We really appreciate it.

66
00:05:30,123 --> 00:05:34,523
Oh, hey, space invader. Me
and this baby go way back.

67
00:05:38,323 --> 00:05:43,403
Refill key. What? Those lads
there, they're using a refill key.

68
00:05:45,883 --> 00:05:48,723
Come here.

69
00:05:51,523 --> 00:05:56,002
I hope this is all tax deductible. I
love this man - he never relaxes.

70
00:05:56,003 --> 00:06:00,683
I took him to a lap dancing club
- he asked the girls for receipts!

71
00:06:02,483 --> 00:06:05,202

00:09:35,323 --> 00:09:41,162
Busy shift? That caller Dave was on again,
asking if we'd help with the decorating.

111
00:09:41,163 --> 00:09:47,002
Really? When I talked to him, he hadn't settled
on a wallpaper. He's going with anaglypta.

112
00:09:47,003 --> 00:09:53,082
A teenager with a drug problem, a
lady looking after her sick dad, and, oh,

113
00:09:53,083 --> 00:10:00,202
this widow, Joan, in her fifties, her husband
died a few months back in a car crash,

114
00:10:00,203 --> 00:10:06,803
she said the one thing that kept her going
was that he told her he loved her every day.

115
00:10:08,123 --> 00:10:13,562
Every day! Can you imagine
that? Was she very distraught?

116
00:10:13,563 --> 00:10:16,643
No. She was fine. I
was in floods of tears.

117
00:10:22,803 --> 00:10:25,522
Hello, samaritans,
can I help you?

118
00:10:25,523 --> 00:10:28,043
Pop music plays

119
00:11:04,363 --> 00:11:09,122
Didn't you give me a blowjob out
back last week? In your dreams.

120
00:11:09,123 --> 00:11:14,043
Coming through. Maybe it was
your mother... Hey, manners, gay boy!

121
00:11:16,723 --> 00:11:21,602
You really are dead set on ruining
my evening, aren't you, blondie?

122
00:11:21,603 --> 00:11:24,122
Piss off and spend
your winnings!

123
00:11:24,123 --> 00:11:28,202
The last money you get out of
my arcade, sunshine. Piss off!

124
00:11:28,203 --> 00:11:30,362
Skip away like
a good little girl!

125
00:11:30,363 --> 00:11:34,402
Any time!

126
00:11:34,403 --> 00:11:36,603
Fuck off!

127
00:12:07,163 --> 00:12:14,283

129
00:12:30,443 --> 00:12:34,722
You've done a great job, Terry.
No more cleaning up stag night puke.

130
00:12:34,723 --> 00:12:39,042
I'm going for the classier markets,
high-rollers and gays. Sensible.

131
00:12:39,043 --> 00:12:43,922
It'll take more than a fancy bathroom
to turn this place into Caesar's palace!

132
00:12:43,923 --> 00:12:49,682
He's maximising his space. You could learn
from this man. All looks a bit pricey to me.

133
00:12:49,683 --> 00:12:55,762
What people want is a full English breakfast
and a bathroom experience they'll never forget.

134
00:12:55,763 --> 00:12:58,362
They'll keep coming
back for years.

135
00:12:58,363 --> 00:13:03,002
Dual-headed taps with a built-in
water softener, and the real joy -

136
00:13:03,003 --> 00:13:08,762
the toilet is concealed by a
mock-Japanese sliding screen.

137
00:13:08,763 --> 00:13:10,682
Fully functional.

138
00:13:10,683 --> 00:13:12,202
Classy.

139
00:13:12,203 --> 00:13:16,082
Ok, Terry, I don't want
to shag it. Doorbell rings

140
00:13:16,083 --> 00:13:20,762
that'll be the takeaway. Great!
Did you order Chinese or Italian?

141
00:13:20,763 --> 00:13:22,923
A bit of everything.

142
00:13:30,403 --> 00:13:35,403
All right, girls, which one of you is
going to be the lucky one tonight?

143
00:13:59,683 --> 00:14:01,802
Hey, mate,

144
00:14:01,803 --> 00:14:04,243
drop me here. Just here.

145
00:14:06,003 --> 00:14:08,043
£10, mate.

146
00:14:24,483 --> 00:14:27,003
Yes!

147
00:14:32,563 --> 00:14:35,722
So what are you doing
at college today, love?

148
00:14:35,723 --> 00:14:41,242
You know, stuff. No, I don't know. Would
you care to tell me? Why don't you go first?

149
00:14:41,243 --> 00:14:46,042
Let me guess, hairdressers in
the morning, then a shift at oxfam,

150
00:14:46,043 --> 00:14:52,002
or is it Italian for beginners? Don't
exaggerate. I can't remember which hobby it is.

151
00:14:52,003 --> 00:14:56,842
I'm working at samaritans. It's
not a hobby... You look like shit.

152
00:14:56,843 --> 00:15:01,682
I've been up all night. What's your excuse?
Sarcasm before eight. That a record?

153
00:15:01,683 --> 00:15:06,562
It was a lovely do, dad. Sorry I couldn't
stay longer. That's ok, sweetheart.

154
00:15:06,563 --> 00:15:11,962
I hope he was worth it. I know that look.
What's he like? What's that supposed to mean?

155
00:15:11,963 --> 00:15:15,122
Is he like your other
boyfriends or is he human?

156
00:15:15,123 --> 00:15:17,402
You wonder why I
never bring anyone home.

157
00:15:17,403 --> 00:15:19,562
Is he one of the other students

158
00:15:19,563 --> 00:15:23,322
against global capitalism right up
until he gets his first tax demand?

159
00:15:23,323 --> 00:15:25,722
No. He's not another student.

160
00:15:25,723 --> 00:15:28,802
Good. Bring him home. I'd like
to meet him. Do you mean that?

161
00:15:28,803 --> 00:15:32,482
Yeah. I mean it. He's important
to you so he's important to me

162
00:15:32,483 --> 00:15:35,002
and your mum.
We'd like to meet him.

163
00:15:35,003 --> 00:15:38,482
And you won't scowl at him?
Don't go asking for miracles.

164
00:15:38,483 --> 00:15:40,642
Everyone else thinks
I'm a friendly guy.

165
00:15:40,643 --> 00:15:45,002
Only because you're
making them their fortunes.

166
00:15:45,003 --> 00:15:48,162
That a black eye or are you
wearing eye-liner? Ripley...

167
00:15:48,163 --> 00:15:50,002
I'm just knackered.

168
00:15:50,003 --> 00:15:54,883
There you are. He doesn't bend
over, he's just hungover. I've got to go...

169
00:15:56,603 --> 00:15:59,442
Nice one, Ripley. What?

170
00:15:59,443 --> 00:16:01,642
Dad can't help
being prehistoric.

171
00:16:01,643 --> 00:16:05,243
It's part of his
charm. Thank you.

172
00:16:07,403 --> 00:16:10,042
See the bloke with
the pencil moustache?

173
00:16:10,043 --> 00:16:12,162
That's your "Pythagoras".

174
00:16:12,163 --> 00:16:15,482
He has a science to his play.

175
00:16:15,483 --> 00:16:17,402
I'd do her, wouldn't you?

176
00:16:17,403 --> 00:16:20,722
If I'd had a drink
maybe... Look at him!

177
00:16:20,723 --> 00:16:22,682
Memorizes the reels...

178
00:16:22,683 --> 00:16:27,282
Listens to the drop of the coin
to see if the machine is 'backing'.

179
00:16:27,283 --> 00:16:31,562
If the machine's dropping coins down the
back, it's full and is likely to pay out.

180
00:16:31,563 --> 00:16:36,082
Is that true? No. Not really. But
that's the market economy, isn't it?

181
00:16:36,083 --> 00:16:39,322
If we admitted it was luck we'd
pay bankers the same as binmen.

182
00:16:39,323 --> 00:16:42,922
And, like if she
had the questions,

183
00:16:42,923 --> 00:16:47,562
but if you got the answer right then
you got to say what she did next...

184
00:16:47,563 --> 00:16:50,242
You've really thought
this through, haven't you?

185
00:16:50,243 --> 00:16:55,602
The inland revenue will claim against the
resale value of your machines and then...

186
00:16:55,603 --> 00:16:59,362
That skinny guy behind Pythagoras
is "the ghost". Every arcade has one.

187
00:16:59,363 --> 00:17:02,762
They hover on the mug's shoulder,
see how much money he has put in

188
00:17:02,763 --> 00:17:06,282
then step in for the kill
when he wanders off...

189
00:17:06,283 --> 00:17:09,042
See him? The priest.

190
00:17:09,043 --> 00:17:12,002
He bases his game on
prayer and lucky coins.

191
00:17:12,003 --> 00:17:15,282
The lard-addict on the
multi-play, your "nervous wreck".

192
00:17:15,283 --> 00:17:19,482
He can't keep still for noticing every
other machine seems to be paying out...

193
00:17:19,483 --> 00:17:21,642
He never commits.
So he never wins.

194
00:17:21,643 --> 00:17:23,162
Fascinating as this is...

195
00:17:23,163 --> 00:17:27,962
I know my business. You know yours.
That's how we make each other rich.

196
00:17:27,963 --> 00:17:31,122
You'll have to use some
of your investment capital.

197
00:17:31,123 --> 00:17:33,082
Isn't that our money?

198
00:17:33,083 --> 00:17:36,842
Leave the financial stuff
to those who know, Terry.

199
00:17:36,843 --> 00:17:40,522
Your investment's safe with
him. He's tight as a witches' chuff.

200
00:17:40,523 --> 00:17:45,962
As long as you're paying tax bills with our investment,
how is the expansion ever going to get started?

201
00:17:45,963 --> 00:17:50,523
All right, dickless, phase one
starts here. Since when? Since now.

202
00:18:12,763 --> 00:18:15,202
I had all this lined
up for tomorrow.

203
00:18:15,203 --> 00:18:19,122
You lot have to open your
presents early, don't you?

204
00:18:19,123 --> 00:18:21,603
Not exactly up to your
standards, Terry, I know.

205
00:18:24,043 --> 00:18:26,922
Couldn't you run to a
couple of air fresheners?

206
00:18:26,923 --> 00:18:29,202
Why bother when I'm
going to pull it down?

207
00:18:29,203 --> 00:18:32,202
If it doesn't fall down
first. What does this prove?

208
00:18:32,203 --> 00:18:35,003
You're forgetting a
little word called trust.

209
00:18:42,603 --> 00:18:45,802
Make yourself useful
while you're here.

210
00:18:45,803 --> 00:18:48,802
Are we the bloody repo men?
I can't involve myself in this.

211
00:18:48,803 --> 00:18:50,682
I'm a pillar of the community.

212
00:18:50,683 --> 00:18:52,962
Let's get started!

213
00:18:52,963 --> 00:18:57,962
I just think it's a bit off you paying
your private tax bill with company money.

214
00:18:57,963 --> 00:19:01,562
I've led you to a pot of gold
and all you can do is piss in it!

215
00:19:01,563 --> 00:19:04,362
We should have some
say in how it's spent.

216
00:19:04,363 --> 00:19:09,122
You want the whole scheme to go tits up
because I've got a pain in the cash flow? Fine!

217
00:19:09,123 --> 00:19:11,682
Well, no. Obviously.
No. We don't want that.

218
00:19:11,683 --> 00:19:13,482
Well, come on, then.

219
00:19:13,483 --> 00:19:17,522
I'll, er, go and arrange the transfer
of funds to your personal account.

220
00:19:17,523 --> 00:19:20,602
You won't moaning when the
"no vacancies" signs are up.

221
00:19:20,603 --> 00:19:26,322
Oh, no, then it will be "thank you, Ripley Holden
for dragging Blackpool out of the dark ages."

222
00:19:26,323 --> 00:19:30,803
I'm driving the economic recovery
here so cut me some slack, would you?

223
00:19:34,803 --> 00:19:36,522
What's going on?

224
00:19:36,523 --> 00:19:38,962
You've been evicted. What for?

225
00:19:38,963 --> 00:19:42,442
Drug taking, noise, being ugly
without a licence. Who knows?

226
00:19:42,443 --> 00:19:46,923
The law's supposed to be a
mystery. That's why judges wear wigs.

227
00:19:52,163 --> 00:19:56,722
Vegas gets 30 million visitors a
year, the punters piss in paper cups

228
00:19:56,723 --> 00:19:59,642
by the machines, terrified
of missing the jackpot.

229
00:19:59,643 --> 00:20:03,002
That's the kind of customer
commitment I'm after...

230
00:20:03,003 --> 00:20:06,362
Could you put some beer in the
freezer. He might be a beer man.

231
00:20:06,363 --> 00:20:10,162
Who might be? Shyanne's new
boyfriend's coming round tonight.

232
00:20:10,163 --> 00:20:12,562
Since when? You said
you wanted to meet him.

233
00:20:12,563 --> 00:20:14,602
She took you at your word.

234
00:20:14,603 --> 00:20:18,962
When are you going to bring a girl
home, give me something to look at?

235
00:20:18,963 --> 00:20:21,162
Going anywhere nice, love?

236
00:20:21,163 --> 00:20:24,522
Answer your mother's question.

237
00:20:24,523 --> 00:20:26,762
I dunno. Maybe Romeo's...

238
00:20:26,763 --> 00:20:31,082
I thought you were there last night.
Why does it always have to be clubs?

239
00:20:31,083 --> 00:20:35,002
I was in Romeo's last night. I
didn't see you. It's a big club.

240
00:20:35,003 --> 00:20:38,362
You and the boys were in
Romeo's? Isn't there an age limit?

241
00:20:38,363 --> 00:20:42,442
I've got to go. Said
I'd be somewhere.

242
00:20:42,443 --> 00:20:45,002
What makes that boy tick?

243
00:20:45,003 --> 00:20:48,082
He's just going through
a sensitive stage.

244
00:20:48,083 --> 00:20:51,083
Oh, right, and there was me
thinking he was a mardy-arse.

245
00:21:17,563 --> 00:21:19,322
What?

246
00:21:19,323 --> 00:21:21,283
Your face.

247
00:21:22,523 --> 00:21:25,602
If this one's got tattoos then
he can just keep walking.

248
00:21:25,603 --> 00:21:29,522
He won't have tattoos. She said
he was more mature than the others.

249
00:21:29,523 --> 00:21:31,602
Yeah, well...

250
00:21:31,603 --> 00:21:33,123
I live in hope.

251
00:21:36,243 --> 00:21:37,803
Mum. Dad.

252
00:21:39,523 --> 00:21:41,043
This is Steve.

253
00:21:43,963 --> 00:21:46,043
Hi.

254
00:21:56,203 --> 00:21:58,642
So what do you do
for a living, Steve?

255
00:21:58,643 --> 00:22:00,922
I work in the theatre.

256
00:22:00,923 --> 00:22:02,802
Would we have
seen you in anything?

257
00:22:02,803 --> 00:22:05,682
I doubt it. I'm the manager.
Which theatre's that then?

258
00:22:05,683 --> 00:22:08,602
The theatre royal.
Never been there.

259
00:22:08,603 --> 00:22:13,042
If you'd said, "legends", there's a bloke
there who's the image of shakin' Stevens.

260
00:22:13,043 --> 00:22:14,642
Really?

261
00:22:14,643 --> 00:22:16,443
And who's he supposed to be?

262
00:22:22,283 --> 00:22:25,562
The royal. That must
be a big responsibility.

263
00:22:25,563 --> 00:22:27,642
Didn't the krankies
do panto there?

264
00:22:27,643 --> 00:22:32,602
I've not been there all that long. I'm planning
big changes. He's put in for lottery funding.

265
00:22:32,603 --> 00:22:35,842
Better get in line behind all
the lesbian refugees... dad!

266
00:22:35,843 --> 00:22:37,882
I believe in people
paying their way.

267
00:22:37,883 --> 00:22:42,562
I organise charity events but I make sure
the money goes to the bona fide handicapped.

268
00:22:42,563 --> 00:22:47,242
Let's face it, these days you have a nosebleed
and you get a disabled parking space.

269
00:22:47,243 --> 00:22:50,162
So how did you get into
something like that, Steve?

270
00:22:50,163 --> 00:22:52,442
I always loved the theatre.

271
00:22:52,443 --> 00:22:55,882
Could never act so thought
this was the next best thing.

272
00:22:55,883 --> 00:22:59,602
My tip to you - give people
what they want and they'll come.

273
00:22:59,603 --> 00:23:04,362
That rules out my play
about lesbian refugees, then.

274
00:23:04,363 --> 00:23:06,922
That's funny, Steve.

275
00:23:06,923 --> 00:23:09,843
Maybe you should be
on the stage after all.

276
00:23:11,483 --> 00:23:14,442
We've got to go, actually...

277
00:23:14,443 --> 00:23:16,362
Oh, already?

278
00:23:16,363 --> 00:23:18,442
We've got that
thing, haven't we?

279
00:23:18,443 --> 00:23:21,123
Yes, yes.

280
00:23:22,723 --> 00:23:24,563
Nice meeting you. And you.

281
00:23:26,643 --> 00:23:28,163
Bye. Bye.

282
00:23:34,243 --> 00:23:37,362
Is she doing it to punish
us? Is that what she's up to?

283
00:23:37,363 --> 00:23:40,402
Maybe she likes him.
Has that occurred to you?

284
00:23:40,403 --> 00:23:42,442
That's what all
child molesters say.

285
00:23:42,443 --> 00:23:45,842
I don't like it any more than
you do but shyanne's nearly 20.

286
00:23:45,843 --> 00:23:49,842
Exactly. And he's my age! I can't
believe you're taking this so calmly.

287
00:23:49,843 --> 00:23:52,922
If it wasn't your daughter
you'd be patting him on the back.

288
00:23:52,923 --> 00:23:55,002
So I'm a hypocrite.

289
00:23:55,003 --> 00:24:00,562
You start ranting and raving and you'll make it
seem rebellious and sexy. So we just do nothing?

290
00:24:00,563 --> 00:24:03,443
Well, I don't want a repeat
of the motorbike incident.

291
00:24:06,083 --> 00:24:07,922
Yeah, ok.

292
00:24:07,923 --> 00:24:09,402
Ok. You're probably right.

293
00:24:09,403 --> 00:24:12,323
I usually am.

294
00:25:02,843 --> 00:25:04,042
What?

295
00:25:04,043 --> 00:25:06,282
Nothing.

296
00:25:06,283 --> 00:25:08,002
What is it?

297
00:25:08,003 --> 00:25:10,482
I think I drank too
much last night.

298
00:25:10,483 --> 00:25:12,602
Do you want to talk about it?

299
00:25:12,603 --> 00:25:15,322
Do I look like Richard madeley?

300
00:25:15,323 --> 00:25:18,323
Come on... come on.

00:27:15,683 --> 00:27:18,482
I didn't hear you come in.

313
00:27:18,483 --> 00:27:20,402
You never will.

314
00:27:20,403 --> 00:27:23,523
The old kung fu shuffle.

315
00:27:27,203 --> 00:27:31,042
I see you've got Tony vialli,

316
00:27:31,043 --> 00:27:34,642
the world's greatest accordion
player coming next month.

317
00:27:34,643 --> 00:27:38,242
We do golden variety for
the pensioners mid-week

318
00:27:38,243 --> 00:27:43,122
but like I say, it's my intention to shake things
up a bit. Listen to Andrew Lloyd Webber, here.

319
00:27:43,123 --> 00:27:45,562
I realise it might
sound funny to you...

320
00:27:45,563 --> 00:27:48,842
If you weren't going out with
my daughter it might sound funny.

321
00:27:48,843 --> 00:27:53,482
There's something about the thought of you
near her that makes me lose my sense of humour.

322
00:27:53,483 --> 00:27:56,562
Shyanne's a wonderful woman.
She's turned my life around.

323
00:27:56,563 --> 00:27:59,282
Don't use my daughter
to make you feel better.

324
00:27:59,283 --> 00:28:01,202
That's not how shyanne sees it.

325
00:28:01,203 --> 00:28:03,442
Steve...

326
00:28:03,443 --> 00:28:05,682
I'm a man of the world.

327
00:28:05,683 --> 00:28:08,882
I know it's nice to feel some
flesh with a bit of spring in it.

328
00:28:08,883 --> 00:28:11,402
But society has
taboos for a reason.

329
00:28:11,403 --> 00:28:14,122
That's so that saggy
arsed old burn-outs like you

330
00:28:14,123 --> 00:28:16,602
don't get their hands
on my daughter.

331
00:28:16,603 --> 00:28:19,242
I know it must
be hard to accept.

332
00:28:19,243 --> 00:28:23,842
What I find hard to accept is that you pretend
you don't know who I am... I don't know you.

333
00:28:23,843 --> 00:28:30,162
South shore secondary
modern 1970-77, right?

334
00:28:30,163 --> 00:28:31,922
Yeah.

335
00:28:31,923 --> 00:28:34,362
You were there too? We
were at the same school?

336
00:28:34,363 --> 00:28:36,282
And now you're
poking my daughter.

337
00:28:36,283 --> 00:28:39,442
I'm trying not to break a rib
laughing at the coincidence.

338
00:28:39,443 --> 00:28:42,602
I don't remember
you. I've changed.

339
00:28:42,603 --> 00:28:44,922
I think I'd remember
a Ripley Holden.

340
00:28:44,923 --> 00:28:47,602
I wasn't Ripley Holden then.

341
00:28:47,603 --> 00:28:49,402
Who were you?

342
00:28:49,403 --> 00:28:51,683
Someone else.

343
00:28:53,123 --> 00:28:55,482
Have you got a pen?

344
00:28:55,483 --> 00:28:56,763
Yeah.

345
00:29:08,403 --> 00:29:11,562
That's the name that
you might remember.

346
00:29:11,563 --> 00:29:14,322
What you should know

347
00:29:14,323 --> 00:29:18,683
is that Ripley Holden is a ton
more messed up than this boy!

348
00:29:41,763 --> 00:29:46,482
Where've you been? I've
been standing here since 9.30

349
00:29:46,483 --> 00:29:48,722
with a burning ulcer...

350
00:29:48,723 --> 00:29:52,003
All right, all right. Give me
some room would you, chantelle.

351
00:30:01,723 --> 00:30:03,242
Ruth, you need a man.

352
00:30:03,243 --> 00:30:06,362
A good seeing to'll do you
more good than liver salts.

353
00:30:06,363 --> 00:30:08,402
I thought I set this last night.

354
00:30:08,403 --> 00:30:11,363
You can't buy a bastard
thing in this country.

355
00:30:41,123 --> 00:30:42,682
Mr Holden?

356
00:30:42,683 --> 00:30:45,722
That's right. Detective
inspector Peter Carlisle,

357
00:30:45,723 --> 00:30:47,882
north lakes constabulary.

358
00:30:47,883 --> 00:30:50,282
That boyish-looking
creature is DC blythe.

359
00:30:50,283 --> 00:30:52,202
I just can't get my
head round this.

360
00:30:52,203 --> 00:30:54,882
Why has this happened
to me? Why now?

361
00:30:54,883 --> 00:30:58,882
It's a full-blown mystery,
sir. That's why I'm here.

362
00:30:58,883 --> 00:31:00,282
Do I know you at all?

363
00:31:00,283 --> 00:31:02,362
You one of allbright's lot?

364
00:31:02,363 --> 00:31:07,242
No. I'm not local. They called
me in cos they're overstretched.

365
00:31:07,243 --> 00:31:09,962
Like an emergency
plumber but less well paid.

366
00:31:09,963 --> 00:31:13,242
You found the
body? I open the door,

367
00:31:13,243 --> 00:31:15,162
I start putting in
the alarm code,

368
00:31:15,163 --> 00:31:19,962
then I notice it's not on and
then there he is in all his glory.

369
00:31:19,963 --> 00:31:22,722
Do you recognise him?
Never seen him in my life.

370
00:31:22,723 --> 00:31:24,442
Do you want to
take another look?

371
00:31:24,443 --> 00:31:27,562
Has anybody got
a rennie on them?

372
00:31:27,563 --> 00:31:30,482
I have a very nervous
tummy and this has set it off.

373
00:31:30,483 --> 00:31:33,922
Funnily enough... somewhere.

374
00:31:33,923 --> 00:31:37,002
I never leave home
without antacids.

375
00:31:37,003 --> 00:31:40,723
Keep them. I'm taking kaoline
and morphine on a trial basis.

376
00:31:46,443 --> 00:31:49,722
No, I definitely don't know him.

377
00:31:49,723 --> 00:31:53,042
Why would anyone
do this? I just...

378
00:31:53,043 --> 00:31:56,203
I locked up last night and
I opened up this morning.

379
00:31:58,323 --> 00:31:59,763
So how did he get in here?

380
00:32:10,363 --> 00:32:14,762
We're filing it as a suspicious death for
now, just to keep the paperwork in order.

381
00:32:14,763 --> 00:32:16,882
Suspicious? It's miraculous!

382
00:32:16,883 --> 00:32:19,762
He got through a locked
door then killed himself.

383
00:32:19,763 --> 00:32:21,962
What makes you
think he killed himself?

384
00:32:21,963 --> 00:32:24,642
I don't. I was making a joke.

385
00:32:24,643 --> 00:32:28,722
Freud'd say that your jokes revealed
a truth buried in your subconscious.

386
00:32:28,723 --> 00:32:31,922
Oh, what do you know... A
copper who's read a book.

387
00:32:31,923 --> 00:32:35,322
If I'd read two books maybe
I'd run an amusement arcade.

388
00:32:35,323 --> 00:32:37,202
I wouldn't know about that.

389
00:32:37,203 --> 00:32:40,722
I run a family
entertainment centre.

390
00:32:40,723 --> 00:32:44,203
And I'm a crime-citizen
interface consultant.

391
00:32:45,963 --> 00:32:50,682
Political correctness
strikes again.

392
00:32:50,683 --> 00:32:56,202
We have chinky lads down here all
the time and they tell me kung fu jokes.

393
00:32:56,203 --> 00:32:58,042
We'll always find new insults.

394
00:32:58,043 --> 00:33:00,363
Prejudice is very
inventive like that.

395
00:33:01,883 --> 00:33:03,403
That's right.

396
00:33:05,163 --> 00:33:07,322
You know what he's done.

397
00:33:07,323 --> 00:33:09,242
He's hid when I'm locking up,

398
00:33:09,243 --> 00:33:12,842
tried to Rob the slots and
got himself electrocuted.

399
00:33:12,843 --> 00:33:16,242
Thanks for sorting that out for
us. He looked the type, didn't he?

400
00:33:16,243 --> 00:33:17,683
Hair like that...

401
00:33:19,243 --> 00:33:22,682
I'll do everything I can to get you
open again as soon as possible.

402
00:33:22,683 --> 00:33:24,562
You're closing me down?

403
00:33:24,563 --> 00:33:26,482
Just till forensics are happy.

404
00:33:26,483 --> 00:33:31,282
I know it's a tragic loss but I've got the
biggest deal of my life riding on this arcade.

405
00:33:31,283 --> 00:33:34,722
You can read all
about it in here.

406
00:33:34,723 --> 00:33:36,202
Thanks.

407
00:33:36,203 --> 00:33:39,403
I think I know where
you're coming from.

408
00:33:45,843 --> 00:33:48,043
Scruffing bastard.

409
00:33:56,963 --> 00:33:59,642
So what's the arcade chap like?

410
00:33:59,643 --> 00:34:01,882
A prick. A guilty prick?

411
00:34:01,883 --> 00:34:05,282
A prick has no conscience.
Didn't your father tell you anything?

412
00:34:05,283 --> 00:34:08,242
His story seems
a little unlikely.

413
00:34:08,243 --> 00:34:12,922
Acquire an ID on the body, go
through the cctv from the clubs and pubs,

414
00:34:12,923 --> 00:34:15,002
talk to witnesses...

415
00:34:15,003 --> 00:34:18,082
The slog that makes our
police force the envy of the world.

416
00:34:18,083 --> 00:34:20,122
What are you going to do?

417
00:34:20,123 --> 00:34:23,242
I'll start with Ripley's wife.

418
00:34:23,243 --> 00:34:25,962
I'm good with wives.

419
00:34:25,963 --> 00:34:28,562
A dead man? Just
there on the floor?

420
00:34:28,563 --> 00:34:31,282
Dead as southport. Six
feet from the kiddie rides.

421
00:34:31,283 --> 00:34:34,642
How sick is that? That's
awful. Who was he?

422
00:34:34,643 --> 00:34:38,162
I don't know, neither do the
police. Some deadbeat or other.

423
00:34:38,163 --> 00:34:41,282
Be a deadbeat. That's right.
I've had to close the arcade.

424
00:34:41,283 --> 00:34:43,162
How long for?

425
00:34:43,163 --> 00:34:45,202
What did the coppers
think? Any ideas?

426
00:34:45,203 --> 00:34:49,042
Have they heck. They'll just tit
around for a few days and file it away.

427
00:34:49,043 --> 00:34:52,442
Got to make it look like they're
earning the tax payers' shilling.

428
00:34:52,443 --> 00:34:53,603
Shyanne?

429
00:34:55,403 --> 00:34:57,363
Love?

430
00:35:13,083 --> 00:35:16,082
He finished with me by text.

431
00:35:16,083 --> 00:35:18,602
How cheap is that?

432
00:35:18,603 --> 00:35:20,922
So...

433
00:35:20,923 --> 00:35:23,363
No explanation or anything?

434
00:35:24,883 --> 00:35:28,922
Just said it wasn't working
for him. He was sorry.

435
00:35:28,923 --> 00:35:34,882
That was it. Cheap bastard! I don't
know what you're getting angry about.

436
00:35:34,883 --> 00:35:36,602
I could tell you
didn't like him.

437
00:35:36,603 --> 00:35:41,682
I'll be straight. I had a few
problems with the age difference.

438
00:35:41,683 --> 00:35:44,242
But only cos I want
what's best for you.

439
00:35:44,243 --> 00:35:47,282
Well, he is.

440
00:35:47,283 --> 00:35:50,082
I love him, dad.

441
00:35:50,083 --> 00:35:53,402
And don't start telling
me I'll get over it.

442
00:35:53,403 --> 00:35:55,562
Look at me!

443
00:35:55,563 --> 00:35:57,403
Hey! Look at me.

444
00:35:59,243 --> 00:36:03,922
When I was your age I was the
loneliest bastard on this bastard planet.

445
00:36:03,923 --> 00:36:09,362
And the worst thing was people telling me
it was going to get better so, you know...

446
00:36:09,363 --> 00:36:12,562
But, for what it's worth...

447
00:36:12,563 --> 00:36:15,882
You're a beautiful,
intelligent young woman

448
00:36:15,883 --> 00:36:19,002
and the man you are going to
spend the rest of your life with

449
00:36:19,003 --> 00:36:23,962
is out there, now, somewhere,
and you've not even met him yet.

450
00:36:23,963 --> 00:36:27,082
Isn't that something
to get excited about?

451
00:36:27,083 --> 00:36:31,002
I suppose. Steve's a bigger prick
than I thought to finish with you.

452
00:36:31,003 --> 00:36:33,882
You were doing really
well right up to the last bit.

453
00:36:33,883 --> 00:36:35,403
Come here.

454
00:36:41,843 --> 00:36:44,882
You don't think mum warned
him off or anything, do you?

455
00:36:44,883 --> 00:36:47,562
No.

456
00:36:47,563 --> 00:36:52,003
No, your mum'd never
do anything like that.

457
00:36:55,283 --> 00:36:58,682
So that's the last we'll
see of Steve, I suppose?

458
00:36:58,683 --> 00:37:02,082
Broke the poor girl's heart.

459
00:37:02,083 --> 00:37:04,962
Quite a coincidence,
though. What's that?

460
00:37:04,963 --> 00:37:06,922
You meet him, you don't like him

461
00:37:06,923 --> 00:37:09,682
and the next day he
finishes with shyanne.

462
00:37:09,683 --> 00:37:12,682
Yes. But that's why it's
called coincidence, I suppose.

463
00:37:12,683 --> 00:37:15,402
I didn't know you
believed in coincidence.

464
00:37:15,403 --> 00:37:17,402
I run an amusement arcade.

465
00:37:17,403 --> 00:37:19,282
Of course I believe
in coincidence.

466
00:37:19,283 --> 00:37:21,682
How else could I look
the punters in the eye?

467
00:37:21,683 --> 00:37:24,643
Well, maybe we'll leave
that one for another day.

468
00:37:36,123 --> 00:37:37,643
Are you feeling horny at all?

469
00:37:39,563 --> 00:37:43,362
I love it when you
whisper sweet nothings...

470
00:37:43,363 --> 00:37:45,362
Is that a yes or a no?

471
00:37:45,363 --> 00:37:48,482
A little more effort
might be nice.

472
00:37:48,483 --> 00:37:51,602
Something a bit romantic...

473
00:37:51,603 --> 00:37:53,282
Do you want to talk about it?

474
00:37:53,283 --> 00:37:55,242
Piss off, Ripley.

475
00:37:55,243 --> 00:37:57,683
Now who's being romantic?

476
00:40:27,763 --> 00:40:31,003
'A whole lot of
shakin' going on.'

477
00:40:36,563 --> 00:40:38,842
'Oh, boy!'

478
00:40:38,843 --> 00:40:42,122
Ripley Holden used to own
three arcades off promenade.

479
00:40:42,123 --> 00:40:46,042
He sold them all six months ago to bid
for this promenade site when it came up.

480
00:40:46,043 --> 00:40:47,682
So he's got a lot riding on it?

481
00:40:47,683 --> 00:40:49,322
He's a great salesman.

482
00:40:49,323 --> 00:40:52,682
Says who? It's what I'm
getting from everybody I talk to.

483
00:40:52,683 --> 00:40:57,562
He believes in family, money and Blackpool.
And not necessarily in that order.

484
00:40:57,563 --> 00:40:59,802
What did you get on the family?

485
00:40:59,803 --> 00:41:05,522
Danny, the son, goes to a private school but the
local police think he might be dabbling in soft drugs.

486
00:41:05,523 --> 00:41:07,243
Who didn't at his age?

487
00:41:08,763 --> 00:41:11,362
The daughter, shyanne,
goes to college locally.

488
00:41:11,363 --> 00:41:14,682
And Natalie Holden is
the perfect trophy wife...

489
00:41:14,683 --> 00:41:18,722
Combines public appearances with
dedicated housewife and charity work.

490
00:41:18,723 --> 00:41:21,282
Scrubs up nicely
by all accounts.

491
00:41:21,283 --> 00:41:25,522
I wouldn't know. I'll report
back to you when I've met her.

492
00:41:25,523 --> 00:41:28,362
The question is, what's she
doing with Ripley Holden?

493
00:41:28,363 --> 00:41:30,442
Oh, blythe,

494
00:41:30,443 --> 00:41:36,842
one day you'll fall in love and you'll find out that
the heart is a complicated and capricious organ.

495
00:41:36,843 --> 00:41:39,882
Right. Back to the
arcade then, is it?

496
00:41:39,883 --> 00:41:43,482
For me, I'm going to get a list
of key holders off Ripley Holden.

497
00:41:43,483 --> 00:41:45,442
On your own?

498
00:41:45,443 --> 00:41:48,642
Ripley Holden and I already
have a breathless repartee.

499
00:41:48,643 --> 00:41:50,723
I wouldn't want you
coming between us.

500
00:41:57,323 --> 00:41:59,442
There's your problem.

501
00:41:59,443 --> 00:42:02,122
Great.

502
00:42:02,123 --> 00:42:05,602
Romanian. I went
on holiday there once.

503
00:42:05,603 --> 00:42:08,762
Cigarettes and coffee is the
only currency they believe in.

504
00:42:08,763 --> 00:42:11,842
It's some sort of foreign coin.

505
00:42:11,843 --> 00:42:14,202
Thank you, Hugh Scully.

506
00:42:14,203 --> 00:42:17,042
Oh, inspector Carlisle.

507
00:42:17,043 --> 00:42:19,122
Have you come to give
me my arcade back?

508
00:42:19,123 --> 00:42:25,482
Not quite. I was hoping you could give me a list
of anybody who has access to keys to this place.

509
00:42:25,483 --> 00:42:27,522
Hang on a minute,

510
00:42:27,523 --> 00:42:30,482
you don't think my staff
had anything to do with this?

511
00:42:30,483 --> 00:42:32,682
Have you checked if
he was electrocuted?

512
00:42:32,683 --> 00:42:37,762
We did. And he wasn't. The early signs are that
he'd been dead for a day or so before you found him.

513
00:42:37,763 --> 00:42:39,482
So he were dumped here?

514
00:42:39,483 --> 00:42:41,882
I attract a lot of jealousy.

515
00:42:41,883 --> 00:42:44,442
Cos we don't like success
in this country, do we?

516
00:42:44,443 --> 00:42:47,762
I'd start with the anti-gambling
mob then other arcade owners.

517
00:42:47,763 --> 00:42:49,242
But not my staff. No way.

518
00:42:49,243 --> 00:42:50,762
They love working here.

519
00:42:50,763 --> 00:42:52,762
They're like family.

520
00:42:52,763 --> 00:42:55,043
In a good way or
a Fred west way?

521
00:42:56,203 --> 00:42:59,082
Hey...

522
00:42:59,083 --> 00:43:03,402
The bar x - a design classic.

523
00:43:03,403 --> 00:43:07,882
Graphics, fun themes, hi-lo rollers
can come and go but this beauty...

524
00:43:07,883 --> 00:43:10,642
Nothing hidden. That's right.

525
00:43:10,643 --> 00:43:13,042
And a simpleton
could enjoy it. Clearly.

526
00:43:13,043 --> 00:43:15,282
Do you want a go?

527
00:43:15,283 --> 00:43:18,322
I'm busy. Go on. Have a go.

528
00:43:18,323 --> 00:43:23,322
On me. And if I was you I'd
try that machine two along.

529
00:43:23,323 --> 00:43:25,962
Who knows? You might
have a bit of beginners luck.

530
00:43:25,963 --> 00:43:27,683
The list? The key holders?

531
00:43:28,883 --> 00:43:33,002
No point. You won't be
working on this for much longer.

532
00:43:33,003 --> 00:43:34,642
Are you ready to confess?

533
00:43:34,643 --> 00:43:37,282
Does the name Jim allbright
mean anything to you?

534
00:43:37,283 --> 00:43:39,962
No... why? Should it?

535
00:43:39,963 --> 00:43:42,282
What you're not getting is...

536
00:43:42,283 --> 00:43:44,002
I'm somebody round here.

537
00:43:44,003 --> 00:43:45,842
Which makes me, what? Nobody?

538
00:43:45,843 --> 00:43:50,362
Don't flatter yourself, cock,
you're not even that. Ruth!

539
00:43:50,363 --> 00:43:55,202
We'll be open tomorrow. So get Maureen to
set the cafe up and you have a bath tonight!

540
00:43:55,203 --> 00:43:57,683
I'll see you later.

541
00:44:04,403 --> 00:44:07,802
It's not as easy as you
think, Ripley. It's complicated.

542
00:44:07,803 --> 00:44:10,442
What's complicated?
Give him the red card.

543
00:44:10,443 --> 00:44:12,482
He's from outside the town.

544
00:44:12,483 --> 00:44:14,322
He's been sent
across from Kendal.

545
00:44:14,323 --> 00:44:17,002
It's his case so he's
not under my jurisdiction.

546
00:44:17,003 --> 00:44:20,442
Which leaves you as what?
Deputy chief inspector of donkey shit?

547
00:44:20,443 --> 00:44:22,562
What has he done
to upset you exactly?

548
00:44:22,563 --> 00:44:25,922
He thinks me or my staff had
something to do with the lad's death.

549
00:44:25,923 --> 00:44:31,002
You might not care about that but you should care
that he's shut the arcade. He's keeping it shut.

550
00:44:31,003 --> 00:44:34,042
So nobody makes any money.
Not me. Not you. Not anybody.

551
00:44:34,043 --> 00:44:39,162
Look, this Carlisle bloke will just
be a shit copper with an ego problem.

552
00:44:39,163 --> 00:44:43,082
It's the same for anybody we
bring in for the overflow cases.

553
00:44:43,083 --> 00:44:48,202
He'll have only ever done small town crime
so he'll be a bit excited for a few days.

554
00:44:48,203 --> 00:44:51,082
You won't have to put
up with him for too long.

555
00:44:51,083 --> 00:44:52,683
That's the best you can do?

556
00:44:54,203 --> 00:44:56,642
All right. I'll have a word.

557
00:44:56,643 --> 00:45:01,562
Mark his card. I'm very touched that
our friendship means so much to you.

558
00:45:01,563 --> 00:45:04,162
Don't be like that.

559
00:45:04,163 --> 00:45:06,003
And I want that sun bed back!

560
00:46:23,083 --> 00:46:24,323
Door buzzes

561
00:46:33,923 --> 00:46:35,322
Hi.

562
00:46:35,323 --> 00:46:38,162
Can I help you?

563
00:46:38,163 --> 00:46:42,042
I think I'm beyond help.

564
00:46:42,043 --> 00:46:44,922
Sorry. I thought
you rang the bell.

565
00:46:44,923 --> 00:46:47,482
I did, I did...

566
00:46:47,483 --> 00:46:49,802
But I have to say I
don't quite know why.

567
00:46:49,803 --> 00:46:52,602
I just saw the
door and the sign.

568
00:46:52,603 --> 00:46:55,442
And you just had
to ring the bell.

569
00:46:55,443 --> 00:46:57,802
Exactly.

570
00:46:57,803 --> 00:47:02,682
I played a lot of knock and run
as a child. Sometimes I regress.

571
00:47:02,683 --> 00:47:08,722
I see. Ok. Well, I have
phones to answer, so...

572
00:47:08,723 --> 00:47:12,683
So... you work here, then?

573
00:47:15,003 --> 00:47:17,202
I'm a volunteer, yeah.

574
00:47:17,203 --> 00:47:20,042
You'll just talk to anyone
who comes in off the street?

575
00:47:20,043 --> 00:47:23,082
Yes. That's the general idea.

576
00:47:23,083 --> 00:47:24,643
Even me?

577
00:47:26,763 --> 00:47:28,803
Even you, yeah.

578
00:47:30,443 --> 00:47:34,682
Do you want to come in and we
can talk about what's troubling you?

579
00:47:34,683 --> 00:47:37,962
What makes you think
anything's troubling me?

580
00:47:37,963 --> 00:47:41,042
You don't seem to
be able to walk away.

581
00:47:41,043 --> 00:47:45,963
So if you did want to talk, you
might at least want to come inside.

582
00:48:00,163 --> 00:48:02,242
Are you depressed?

583
00:48:02,243 --> 00:48:06,242
Not yet... But then I've only
been here for a couple of days.

584
00:48:06,243 --> 00:48:08,882
I have a question.

585
00:48:08,883 --> 00:48:12,842
I can't work out why
anybody would do... This.

586
00:48:12,843 --> 00:48:14,602
Why do you say that?

587
00:48:14,603 --> 00:48:17,562
So you're not going
to answer me, then?

588
00:48:17,563 --> 00:48:19,762
We're not here to talk about me.

589
00:48:19,763 --> 00:48:22,242
But I'd like to. Why?

590
00:48:22,243 --> 00:48:25,123
There you go again. Evasive.
You're very good at that.

591
00:48:26,643 --> 00:48:31,122
Why are you trying to trick me
into talking about myself all the time?

592
00:48:31,123 --> 00:48:34,882
Come on, just tell me why
you do this and I'll open up.

593
00:48:34,883 --> 00:48:37,282
I'm nosy.

594
00:48:37,283 --> 00:48:41,643
Not everyone can turn their
vices into charitable works.

595
00:48:45,283 --> 00:48:47,842
I hadn't seen it
like that before.

596
00:48:47,843 --> 00:48:50,203
Would you like to go
for a drink with me?

597
00:48:53,883 --> 00:48:57,042
It's not possible. It's
not what I'm here for.

598
00:48:57,043 --> 00:49:00,202
But if I was to bump into you
in the street and ask you out.

599
00:49:00,203 --> 00:49:02,602
What would you say then?

600
00:49:02,603 --> 00:49:04,123
I'd say...

601
00:49:06,683 --> 00:49:10,442
..Thank you very
much but I'm married.

602
00:49:10,443 --> 00:49:14,202
But not happily, because
you're not happy, are you?

603
00:49:14,203 --> 00:49:16,442
That's none of your business.

604
00:49:16,443 --> 00:49:21,082
And that's why you do this. Because if you
listen to people who are unhappier than you,

605
00:49:21,083 --> 00:49:23,722
it makes the pain seem
that bit easier, doesn't it?

606
00:49:23,723 --> 00:49:26,762
Doesn't it occur to you

607
00:49:26,763 --> 00:49:31,802
that there might be someone who wants
to talk to me who really needs my time?

608
00:49:31,803 --> 00:49:34,682
And how do you
know that isn't me?

609
00:49:34,683 --> 00:49:37,203
I hope you got
what you came for.

610
00:49:40,643 --> 00:49:41,682
What?

611
00:49:41,683 --> 00:49:44,323
You're just not what I imagined.

612
00:49:52,123 --> 00:49:57,083
Phone rings

613
00:50:07,283 --> 00:50:09,123
Can I help you?

614
00:50:10,123 --> 00:50:12,163
Peter Carlisle?

615
00:50:13,243 --> 00:50:15,963
Deputy chief
inspector Jim allbright.

616
00:50:20,923 --> 00:50:22,723
What's this doing up?

617
00:50:24,883 --> 00:50:27,762
He's our main suspect.

618
00:50:27,763 --> 00:50:31,802
You're coming at this a bit sideways,
aren't you? I thought he found the body.

619
00:50:31,803 --> 00:50:36,282
He did. And it turns out the victim died on
the night the arcade had its opening party.

620
00:50:36,283 --> 00:50:37,842
So that rules him in, not out.

621
00:50:37,843 --> 00:50:40,162
You should have
come to me first.

622
00:50:40,163 --> 00:50:41,882
I was at the party.

623
00:50:41,883 --> 00:50:43,642
Ripley was with me all night.

624
00:50:43,643 --> 00:50:45,162
Of course.

625
00:50:45,163 --> 00:50:47,362
You're Ripley Holden's friend.

626
00:50:47,363 --> 00:50:49,922
I thought the name
rang a bell. That's right.

627
00:50:49,923 --> 00:50:52,642
So what were you doing
on the night in question,

628
00:50:52,643 --> 00:50:53,882
as the cliche goes?

629
00:50:53,883 --> 00:50:57,002
We were just out
and about, you know?

630
00:50:57,003 --> 00:50:58,722
I'm going to need
more than that.

631
00:50:58,723 --> 00:51:01,242
It was a lad's night out.

632
00:51:01,243 --> 00:51:06,722
Am I to understand you were pursuing romantic
liaisons with members of the opposite sex, sir?

633
00:51:06,723 --> 00:51:08,402
Nothing hardcore.

634
00:51:08,403 --> 00:51:10,242
Just a bit of fun.

635
00:51:10,243 --> 00:51:13,402
You wouldn't find a more
devoted father than Ripley Holden.

636
00:51:13,403 --> 00:51:16,363
Devoted to what... Exactly?

637
00:51:18,643 --> 00:51:21,603
I hope you're not trying to
make a name for yourself, son.

638
00:51:24,643 --> 00:51:26,963
Thanks for the alibi... Jim.

639
00:51:29,683 --> 00:51:35,082
Holden seems to have borrowed money from
every businessman in town to do the arcade up.

640
00:51:35,083 --> 00:51:38,123
He doesn't strike me
as the trustworthy type.

641
00:51:43,923 --> 00:51:47,242
Come on, let's go
and play the slots.

642
00:51:47,243 --> 00:51:48,402
What for?

643
00:51:48,403 --> 00:51:51,802
I trust you aren't questioning
my methodology, blythe?

644
00:51:51,803 --> 00:51:54,042
I wasn't aware you
had a methodology, sir.

645
00:51:54,043 --> 00:51:55,563
You stay there then.

646
00:52:22,163 --> 00:52:25,162
Would you look at
that? Nudge? Hi-lo?

647
00:52:25,163 --> 00:52:28,283
Take feature? Am I
supposed to be this confused?

648
00:52:29,803 --> 00:52:33,042
If you save your nudges you
can get up one of the trails.

649
00:52:33,043 --> 00:52:35,602
Then you get into
the feature tower.

650
00:52:35,603 --> 00:52:37,722
It's like a foreign language.

651
00:52:37,723 --> 00:52:40,202
You're that copper, aren't you?

652
00:52:40,203 --> 00:52:42,683
That's right. You're
Danny Holden, aren't you?

653
00:52:44,243 --> 00:52:46,122
There. Nudge now.

654
00:52:46,123 --> 00:52:47,643
Middle reel.

655
00:52:49,523 --> 00:52:51,362
That's it. That's great!

656
00:52:51,363 --> 00:52:55,122
I don't have a clue how
I did it but that's great.

657
00:52:55,123 --> 00:52:57,402
Mate of mine grew
up in Blackpool.

658
00:52:57,403 --> 00:53:00,282
This was years ago. He
said he hated being a local.

659
00:53:00,283 --> 00:53:02,162
You know why? Why?

660
00:53:02,163 --> 00:53:07,242
Because if it wasn't pissed up geordie
week it was pissed up Glasgow week.

661
00:53:07,243 --> 00:53:09,242
If it wasn't mancs
it was scousers.

662
00:53:09,243 --> 00:53:11,362
And they all wanted
to do one thing -

663
00:53:11,363 --> 00:53:13,922
beat up the locals.

664
00:53:13,923 --> 00:53:16,362
Nothing changes. I'll bet.

665
00:53:16,363 --> 00:53:20,322
So did you see this man in any
fights the other night? Danny?

666
00:53:20,323 --> 00:53:24,802
Hey? No. Are you sure?

667
00:53:24,803 --> 00:53:31,642
Because we've got you and him on cctv going
into Romeo's within ten minutes of each other.

668
00:53:31,643 --> 00:53:33,282
I didn't see him there.

669
00:53:33,283 --> 00:53:36,282
I never saw him
after he left this place.

670
00:53:36,283 --> 00:53:40,362
He was here? At the
arcade opening night?

671
00:53:40,363 --> 00:53:42,042
Are you sure?

672
00:53:42,043 --> 00:53:43,722
Course I'm sure.

673
00:53:43,723 --> 00:53:46,282
You could hardly miss
hair like that, could you?

674
00:53:46,283 --> 00:53:49,642
Ok, ok, braveheart. What
do you think you're doing?

675
00:53:49,643 --> 00:53:53,722
I'm just trying to ascertain where
science ends and luck begins.

676
00:53:53,723 --> 00:53:56,442
You're talking to my
son. He's a minor.

677
00:53:56,443 --> 00:53:59,042
You don't talk to my
son without me present.

678
00:53:59,043 --> 00:54:01,523
Ok. I'll just collect
my winnings.

679
00:54:05,963 --> 00:54:10,242
Oh, and mr Holden, one
question and I'm gone.

680
00:54:10,243 --> 00:54:11,682
What do you want to know?

681
00:54:11,683 --> 00:54:13,483
What's an awp?

682
00:54:15,043 --> 00:54:18,922
Amusement with prizes. Like the
machine you've just been playing.

683
00:54:18,923 --> 00:54:21,643
I see. Amusement with prizes.

684
00:54:23,163 --> 00:54:25,962
Sounds a bit like life itself.

685
00:54:25,963 --> 00:54:31,442
And you are absolutely sure you didn't
see him here at your opening night party?

686
00:54:31,443 --> 00:54:35,362
Absolutely. And you know why?
Cos he was never in here that night.

687
00:54:35,363 --> 00:54:37,243
