[music playing]

DON: All right, come on now.

Lassie, this time,
it's [inaudible].

And it's show time!

The curtains part, you enterto a fanfare of trumpets,

to the roar of applause.

Into the spotlight,
and you dance!

[playing violin]

[daley grumbling]

Daley, what do I
always tell ya, eh?

What do I keep on sayin', eh?



Think Fred Astaire.

Think Gene Kelly.

Would you listen, eh?

I mean, what do
you think you are?

A zoo bear?

[daley grumbling]

Of course you're not,
you're a dancing bear.

All right?
Up.

Come on.
Get up.

Go up, up, up.

Go on.

Go on now.

One more time from the top.

All right?



[plays violin]

[music playing]

[laughs]

Morning, Jeff.

Good holiday?

Passable.

SERGEANT BILBY: That soup is in.- Is he?

Bully for him.
- Came in early.

[phone ringing]Thought you might like to know.

RECEPTIONIST: Hello?

Police.

What I won't
mind knowing though

is, how long have we beenproviding primed sites

for vagrants and Didicoys.

I think he means
the Three D's, Sarge.

- Three what?
- Up in Stanat Edge.

They've been there
about a fortnight.

Seem harmless enough.
- A fortnight?

Now then, there are two
things to bear in mind

about traveling [inaudible].

One, they're always on the make.

Two, they are of no fixed abode.

And that's a lethal combination.

Well, sir, I'm not
sure it's enough--

Get moving, have the milkout your tea, up camp and go.

And that's no good
at all, is it Phil?

You're the expert James.

Thank you.

So the lesson is, Constable,come out you're corner early

and get the first one in.

Atherton's law.

[phone ringing]

Welcome home.

Oh, very professional, Daley.

Well done, Don DeMarco
and his sittin' bear.

That'll drag 'em in off
the streets, that will.

Don, let's get
out of here, eh?

Just hitch up the
trailer and, vroom.

Somewhere with some life.

You know we can't do that.

Not yet.

We will in a little
while, I promise.

Now just--

[smacks lips]

--just relax.

[bear grumbling]

[daley growls]

[inaudible] agency.

Is Vinny there?

It's Don DeMarco.

The Three D's.

Yeah, that Don.

He's always in a meeting.

Yeah, it's about
the Europe tour.

Europe.

Oh, well, just tell
him I rang, will ya?

[door shuts]

Well?

Well, great.

Imminent, that's
the word he used.

When?

Imminent.

Christ, you believe anything.

Look, Denise, this
is gonna happen.

Any day now that phone willring, and we'll be off.

Austria, Romainia--

BOTH: Hungary

[chuckles]

Places you've never you'd see.

You'll see.

It beats me how
you ever managed

to escape from prison
when you can't even

escape from a sodding lay-by.

[group calling]

Mine!

Nope, mine!

[gun shooting]

Mine!

Mine!

[chattering]

[dog barking]

Mrs. Howard?

Mrs. Howard!

Mrs. Howard?

Here they coming
to get you, Don.

Mrs. Howard, this won't do.

It won't do at all.

What won't do Mr. Platt.

This, this won't
do Mrs. Howard.

It's a shamble,
not enough beaters.

Bloody grouse flying
away from the guns.

You were supposed
to get more beaters.

So what happened to them?

I think there's a
fair, or something.

Oh, give me a minute
to get over that one.

"A Fair or something"?

HERBERT: How did
you do, Russell?

Oh, about half a dozen
or so Malcolm, and you?

[inaudible].

Really, you do
need more beaters.

Yes, well there-- there'sa Fair on or something,

but don't worry we'll havea full compliment tomorrow.

Jolly good, sir.

See what I mean?

A bloody shambles.

Now, look, I want atleast a dozen more of them

for tomorrow.

Mr. Platt, I'm yoursecretary, not your gamekeeper.

Where am I supposed to
find a dozen beaters?

Good god, Mrs. Howard,
use your initiative.

The ball's in your court now.

[sighs] This is what comesof not having a bathroom.

DON: It's all right,
they're going.

[smacks lips]

I've got blackheads now.

John, leave that
to Mrs. Howard.

[car starts]

Excuse me.

What?

MRS. HOWARD: Have
you got a minute?

How would you like a day's work?

Doing what exactly?

Beating.

I'm really stuck for beaters.

[chuckles]
- What?

Beating?

Yes.

DON: See that?

See what that says there?

Says the Three D's, so?

What's that mean?

That means that
I am a performer.

I'm an artist.

That means, that I
travel the world.

No where does it say,
"Lordships lackey."

No where does it
say, "For hire."

All right then, what
if I make an offer

you an offer you can't refuse?

Like what exactly?

Like if you come on theshoot you earn a few quid,

and if you don't
you get evicted.

You're on private land you know?

I could have a lawyer up
here and have you moved

on by tomorrow, how's that?

I don't believe
I'm hearing this.

Well, you are.

And I am in a bit of a hurry.

So, have we got a deal or not?

Good.

[music playing]

MRS. HOWARD: I'll pick
you up at 8:00 sharp.

Come on up.

Up!

[SNIFFLES] Somewhere.

Hey, present from the Gentry.

[pouring]

To us.

Yeah.

Danny Lyons.

He use to like to
party didn't he?

Oh, yeah life was one
long party for Danny.

He never slept.

He'd call down any
hour of the night

if he though there
was a drink in it.

Yeah.

No one calls us now.

[SNIFFLES]

They will.

Hey.

Oh!

You bastard!

DENISE: Lock that bastard up!

He tried to murder me!

Hang him!

He's a criminal!

DON: She's, uh, depressed,you know, stuck up here.

DON: Don DeMarco.

DETECTIVE ATHERTON: In the back.

DON: Right.

DENISE: Hooray!

[music playing]

I want you animals
to be off this moor

the next time I come by.

Yeah, we will be, any day now.

I'm just waiting for a call.

[chuckles]

What do you do with a bear?

He dances.

Fantastic!

A dancing bear?

Can I have a look?

That might be a problem.

MRS. HOWARD: Oh, why?

The third D is a bit fierce.

Oh, Mrs. D?

She dances well?

[laughs]

She'd like to
dance on my grave.

Here's the rest
of the happy band.

[chattering]

Here we are, look.

He's the last one I could get.

Done this before?

Nope.

Hi.

Busy?

Yeah, you could say that.

Right, Um.

Well, look I-- I justcalled to-- to let you know

that all that stuff
about you being evicted

and I wasn't serious.

I never really intended to,you know-- I was bluffing.

[laughs]

"Evict me."

I really love that.

No explanations, nothingjust, "Evict me" and away.

[chuckles]

Look, while I was out trackingthe moorland paths all day,

my lovely wife, Denise, tookmost of my money and my truck

and did exactly that.

So don't talk to me
about, [snaps] away.

Oh, bloody hell.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Oh, no.

Ah, it looks-- she'd have--she'd have gone the first

chance she had, anyway.

She hated all of this.

[scoffs]

I can't really blame you.- Oh, yeah, sure.

No!

No, no, no.

[daley whining]

What's that?

It's Daley.

I'll have to and calm him down.

[playing violin]

Should be all right now.

So, what's the next step then?

Oh, I don't know.

I'll think of something.

I've been in worse
spots than this.

I'm expecting a call
from the circus any day

now, that'll tell me off.

I'll be all right
when I'm working.

How will you manage till then?

Just manage.

Look, I'll help youout till your call comes,

would you like?

Now why would you do that?

I don't know.

I like you.

You don't know me.

Well, does anybody?

[chuckles]

Well, good night.

I'll be in touch, as they say.

[music playing]

[car starts]

[birds chirping]

Oh!

Good morning.

I hope we didn't startle you.

What's happening?

Donald Finbar DeMarco, I arrestyou for breaking an entry.

You have the right to remainsilent and all that crap.

DON: What have I done?

Last night you slitheredinto Frisbee's warehouse

and made off with 1500 worthof copper piping, that's what.

Did what?

Who says I did?

This does.

The unseen eye.

I knew you were a crookedbastard the minute

I set eyes on you.
- That's not me.

Christ, that could be anybody.

It's you.

The same dingy clothes,
the same scruffy

beard, the same shifty eyes!

It's you!

I can prove it's not me.

I've got a witness.

Who?

Madam DeMarco?

She won't do.

Where is she anyway?

I'll fence in the goods.

Uh, Alice Howard.

She was up here last night.

Here what?

Mr. Platt's new
secretary, sir.

I know who she is.

She wouldn't mix
with a scum like you.

You should ring
her up and ask her.

Don't take your eyes off him.

It's nothing
personal, you know.

You don't live in a house.

That bothers him.

[knock]

DETECTIVE ATHERTON: Let's go.

Sorry.

Hey, Daley!

You haven't knicked any
copper pipe, have you?

[music playing]

[panting]

[car pulls up]

Not a bad life
is it, on the road?

Hope you haven't eaten yet.

I didn't get time to eat.

Busy digging a grave for a bear.

You were what?

Oh, no.

No.

I had a strange
phone call today.

The local CID, Detective
Inspector Atherton.

Yeah, I know.

He used my phone.

So what's the problem?

I think he hates gypsies.

Oh, that's all right then.

Hmm.

This circus you were
telling me about,

what if it doesn't happen?

It'll happen.

I mean, maybe you
should be thinking

of making some other plans.

Like you said, you don'teven have an act anymore.

Let's face it, you could
be stuck here forever.

What can you do?

[inhales]

I'm workin' on it.

[exhales] I've got a
lot of things, you know.

Fire eating, got
a knife throwing.

One thing's for certain,
I'm not stopping here.

Why did your wife leave?

I like this.

Alpha the Asbestos Armenian.

[chuckles]

- Fire eater.
- Go on.

Mm-hm.

Listen to these names.

Blondin and Glock.

Ildebrano Zachini.

DON: Ildebrano Zachini.

Human anvil.

DENISE: The Corleones.

DON: Flyers.

The best.

I love all this.

It's another world.

Gettin' late.

I think I better getback, if you're all right.

Thanks for the food.

Anytime.

I'm always doing this.

[sighs]

Thanks.

Well, I hope you find
what you're looking for.

Good night.

[door shuts]

Dear Mrs. Howard,
with reference

to your recent
application, we regret--

[sighs]

[music playing]

Thank you.

Thanks.

You got a traveling friendout of a pickle the other day.

Did I?

Good.

Just out of curiosity, whatwere you doing over there?

Not giving you any
trouble are they?

No.

I was just being social-able.

Very public
spirited, I'm sure.

[music playing]

Just taking the post.

Just weeding the begonias.

[phone ringing]

[exhales]

[laughs]

How did you do that?

State of mind.

I am now the Shogun Warrior.

[chuckles]

You didn't waste any time.

It's still not
quite right, though.

Why's that?

Come with me.

Careful.

I am being careful.

[inhales sharply]

- Did I do it?
- No, no.

You're all right.

Not a scratch.

[music playing]

I had a husband once.

He used to run a second
hand car business.

You know, he'd buy an
old wreck for 50 quid,

do it up and sell it for 40.

Very astute, he was.

Did you leave him?

No.

No, he died.

One minute he was
there, and the next.

[snaps finger]

Couldn't even pronounce
what killed him.

About a fortnight
later, I woke up

and-- I know this sound
terrible, but I thought,

"That could have been me."

Really terrified me.

So I sold up, I got in the car,that's all I kept, that car.

And I just stuck
a pen in the map.

That was four years ago.

And I've been sticking
pins in maps ever since.

When that call comes,why don't you come with me.

Don't tempt me.

I mean it.

What's that thing?

Ladder of swords.

Oh.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

What's happening?

[sighs]

Oh, Alice I-- I was gonna tellya about this when the time was

right, honest to God.

It was-- God it was years ago!

All this!

It was a stupid mistake.

I-- I-- I-- I got
caught up on something,

and I did somebody a favor.

It was stupid, but
it was nothing.

Alice?

You've been asking
me to drop everything

and follow you God knowswhere, and you're on the run!

Christ, it wasn't even me!

This was a life time
ago, all of this.

[phone ringing in the distance]

I was a different person then.

You're a differentperson every five minutes.

Eugene Sullivan, Don
DeMarco, now you're

a fucking Shogun Warrior.

I don't know who
the hell you are.

This is crazy.

I was gonna tell me everythingall in the proper time.

- Why didn't you tell me before?- Wait.

- Why didn't you tell me before!- Stop a minute!

Wait!
Will you just hang on.

Don't go!I'll be back in a minute.

It looks worse than
it is, I promise.

Hello?

Yeah.

Vinny!

[gasps]

[EXCITEDLY] You're
bloody jokin'?

[sighs]

Oh my God.

Uh, hang on, Vinny.

Yeah, go on.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know it.

Oh my Christ, hang on Vinny.

Alice wait.

Alice?

This is it!

This is the call!

Hang on Vinny, me
pencil's broke.

Wait.

Wait!

For God's sake, listen.

I'm not a criminal.

You know I'm not a criminal.

[panting]

I made one stupid mistake.

Listen, in two
weeks' time I'm gonna

be completely anonymoussomewhere in Eastern Europe,

lost.

And I want you with me.

[laughs]

[sniffles]

This is lunatic.

That's right, bloody
lunatic, wonderful.

To stop and--

[snaps finger]

--away.

[music playing]

Your word.

It's your choice.

[door closes]

DON: Yeah, Vinny, go on.

[sighs]

DON: Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I know.

[hammering]

[chattering]

[gasps]

Oh!

[laughs]

Oh.

Did you do that?

I wasn't getting
any answer, sir.

Didn't know what I'd find.

Who raised the alarm?

Her employer, Mr. Platt.

Nobody's had sight or soundof her since last weekend.

Looks a bit dodgy doesn't it?

[opens drawer]

Oh.

[inaudible] door.

Right.

Put a trace out on her car.

Usual procedure.

Yes, sir.

Where will you be?

In case I'm asked.

[screaming]

CROWD: Oh.

Why not?

CROWD: Aww!

He doesn't know the secret.

You know the one thing
I hated most about being

CROWD: Woo!

You're something else, Denise.

You know that don't you?

You left me for
