:45:23
Any, uh, movement on
the murder investigation?

:45:26
You mean the headless accountant?
No, bit of a dead end, that.

:45:30
- That probation officer?
- He's well out of the picture.

:45:33
- Let's not talk shop, eh?
- I'd better be off.

:45:36
- One for the road.
- No, thanks.

:45:39
It's an order. Vodka chaser.
:45:40
(& Stereo plays Marvin Gaye:
Let's Get It On)

:45:44
So, how's your love life at the moment?
:45:47
- No time for anything, really.
- Tsk! Know what you mean.

:45:56
Oh!
:45:59
- Trying to get me drunk, Inspector?
- Yep.

:46:02
I don't believe in in-house romance.
:46:04
Who said anything about romance?
:46:08
Stick to what you're best at.
:46:15
(Whirrs and honks)
:46:22
What is it?
:46:23
- It's a GOTLER.
- A what?

:46:25
A George-operated
time-lock-equalising robot.

:46:30
- This is telescopic?
- Similar. It's hydraulic.

:46:33
And once inside the vault,
:46:35
this emits an electromagnetic pulse
at the LED displays,

:46:39
causing the clocks to synchronise
at zero, deactivating the time lock.

:46:44
- How'd you know that?
- I heard you phone your mother.

:46:47
Yeah, yeah.
She likes to know what I'm up to.

:46:51
Now, with the time lock,
it's a simple matter for the GOTLER...

:46:55
Oh! I told you. It's top-heavy.
:46:59
- It's only a small modification.
- It needs a redesign.
