00:08:11You won't forget this skirt, Mrs. Martin. It's promised for tomorrow evening.
00:08:15Pardon, dear. It's bad today.
00:08:18I should let those stockings wait a while.
00:08:20Here is a right-angled tear near enough to an inch.
00:08:23Yes, Mrs. Gulley. I'll get on with it right away.
00:08:40Feeling any better? Scared?
00:08:56Dear, dear, dear. The way you came out of that car.
00:08:59All stiff and awkward, like a clothes horse.
00:09:01Oh, I didn't know you was going to make a run for it.
00:09:03Did you think I was going to lean over and tell you?
00:09:05See, you don't know me, Willie. That's the trouble.
00:09:07If you'd have known who I was, well, maybe you're a bit too young for that.
00:09:10I didn't want to make a run for it myself. I don't reckon it was a good thing.
00:09:14Not a good thing? Why, Willie, what do you mean?
00:09:17Well, I haven't done nothing. I'd have got off at the trial. The lawyer said so.
00:09:20The lawyer!
00:09:23Believe the word of a lawyer, Willie, and despair.
00:09:25Give up the struggle. Surrender. Anything sooner than that.
00:09:29What did my lawyer say to me?
00:09:31I think, Mr. Martin, he said, our case is cast iron.
00:09:35And he smiled all over his smug, respectable face.
00:09:39You know what he was thinking, Willie?
00:09:41He was thinking he'll be lucky if he gets away with five years.
00:09:44Not that I think you'll get five years, mind.
00:09:46I don't know what you've done.
00:09:47Oh, it was all a mistake, Mr. Martin.
00:09:49It's always a mistake, Willie.
00:09:51The biggest mistake of all is to get caught.
00:09:54What did you do?
00:09:56Well, I come down from London on my motorbike on holiday, see?
00:10:00I was doing farming and that.
00:10:02The first Saturday, I went along to a dance with some of the lads from the camp.
00:10:05I met a girl there, and when I seen her, she tried to make out I attacked her.
00:10:11You know.
00:10:12I know, Willie.
00:10:13I didn't touch her, honest. I didn't.
00:10:15She tore her dress from top to bottom and hollered out.
00:10:17I didn't have a chance.
00:10:19Well, I believe you, Willie. I'm about the only person in the world who will.
00:10:22What are we going to do now?
00:10:23That's the spirit, my lad.
00:10:25I'm going to look after you for a bit, like a father, eh?
00:10:29I'm the only friend you've got left in the world now, Willie.
00:10:32And it's a good job for you we are tied together,
00:10:34otherwise you'd be making a fool of yourself in about five minutes.
00:10:37You ready to move?
00:10:38Where to?
00:10:40We mustn't be caught with that fishing johnny comes back.
00:10:42We'll cross over the bridge quick, down on the other bank,
00:10:44and follow the hedge up to the wood at the top.
00:10:45That'll do for a start.
00:11:00Hello, Tribune. Newsroom, please.
00:11:05You're through.
00:11:06Hello, Bill. Waring here.
00:11:08Yes, look, I'm speaking from Milton Wells.
00:11:10The police aren't being very helpful.
00:11:13Well, I've got some news for you.
00:11:15That car was being driven by a policewoman.
00:11:17What?
00:11:18I want to know who she is.
00:11:20Her age, what's she like? Is she married? Is she a blonde?
00:11:23Look, Bill, you'll simply have to give me more time.
00:11:26Oh, please, don't think I'm trying to hustle you, Mr. Waring.
00:11:30What does it matter if we miss the West Country editions?
00:11:33Listen, Waring, your holiday's suspended. You're back on the job.
00:11:36Now, what have you got to dictate?
00:11:38Well, the two men are hiding somewhere within 30 square miles of here.
00:11:42That's all the police know, and that's all I know.
00:11:44Well, get on to it.
00:11:45Here, here, and, um,
00:11:47try and get a photo of that lady policeman for the art department.
00:11:51Goodbye.
00:11:53The art department.
00:11:56Honeymoon.
00:11:59Thank you, darling.
00:12:02Well, what does he say?
00:12:04I've got to stick around, and he wants a picture of the policewoman.
00:12:07What policewoman?
00:12:08The one who was in the car.
00:12:09Oh, well, let's go and have a coffee first.
00:12:11There's a place open right here.
00:12:13All right, darling.
00:12:14Do you see what I see, Willie?
00:12:15A camp.
00:12:22You ever been in the army?
00:12:23No, no, I had a bad chest.
00:12:25What's the lab?
00:12:26I did five years.
00:12:28Got the M.M.
00:12:29The M.M.?
00:12:30And bar.
00:12:31That's not to say I wouldn't rob a corporal, though.
00:12:33I wonder where the boys are.
00:12:35Hey!
00:12:36Hey!
00:12:37Hey!
00:12:38Hey!
00:12:39Hey!
00:12:40Hey!
00:12:41Hey!
00:12:42Hey!
00:12:43Hey!
00:12:45Square bashing.
00:12:46Just like the army.
00:12:48Present arms at the front and jack easy round the back.
00:12:50Still, I suppose we mustn't grumble.
00:12:52Go on.
00:13:06See that corporal's battle dress?
00:13:07Yeah.
00:13:08We want that.
00:13:09And that cloth holder with needles and things.
00:13:10And his razor with blades.
00:13:11We want that, too.
00:13:12What do we want all that stuff for?
00:13:13I've got an idea, Willie boy.
00:13:15Leave it to George.
00:13:16Come on into that, quick.
00:13:17What, now, in the night?
00:13:18Now or never, Willie.
00:13:19Come on.
00:13:26Hey!
00:13:27Hey!
00:13:28Squad, to the front!
00:13:30About face!
00:13:32Hey!
00:13:37Hey!
00:13:38Hey!
00:13:43Personally, I think this is a bit thick.
00:13:47It's not the way I imagined our honeymoon.
00:13:49I couldn't agree with you more, darling.
00:13:51We'll be up all night at this rate.
00:13:53Two coffees, please.
00:13:54I hate it as much as you do.
00:13:55What can I do?
00:13:56Nothing, I suppose.
00:13:58What exactly does Wainwright want?
00:14:00That's easy.
00:14:01Blonde policewoman in amazing escape drama.
00:14:03Handcuffed hoodlums terrorize the countryside.
00:14:07Hello.
00:14:08Excuse me, butting in, but were you just talking about those two men?
00:14:11I might have been.
00:14:12Why?
00:14:13Are you interested?
00:14:14Oh, I should just say I am.
00:14:15Do you think they're near here?
00:14:16Why should you worry?
00:14:17They're not looking for you.
00:14:18No, but my husband's looking for them.
00:14:19He's in the county police.
00:14:20He's a sergeant.
00:14:21He's out for promotion.
00:14:22A sergeant?
00:14:23I might be able to help him.
00:14:24My name's Waring.
00:14:25I'm a reporter on the Daily Tribune.
00:14:26Oh, press.
00:14:27Yes, and the last thing that Colonel Heatherly said to me was,
00:14:29if you want something on the Martin story,
00:14:31get hold of an intelligent sergeant.
00:14:33Colonel Heatherly?
00:14:34Yes.
00:14:35Would your friend mind if we joined her?
00:14:37No, of course not.
00:14:42Now on with the blouse, Willie, and out with the needle.
00:14:57Take pains, Willie, my boy, take pains.
00:15:00To bring down the pillars of righteousness, you've got to take pains.
00:15:04Take pains, Willie, my boy, take pains.
00:15:07To bring down the pillars of righteousness, you've got to take pains.
00:15:11I don't know what I'd have done without you, Mr. Martin.
00:15:14You can call me George, Willie.
00:15:17Is that your hand trembling?
00:15:18Sorry.
00:15:19I'm not scared, honest.
00:15:20I'm not.
00:15:21Not when I'm with you.
00:15:23Then you couldn't be in better hands, Willie.
00:15:26What do the foolish do when they run away from the police?
00:15:30They get impatient.
00:15:31They get in a panic.
00:15:33They steal cars, drive a few miles, and then run out of petrol.
00:15:38They seem to forget that cars have numbers,
00:15:41and that policemen can read numbers, even if they find words a bit difficult.
00:15:45We don't do that.
00:15:47We travel by train.
00:15:48But won't they be watching the trains?
00:15:50They will, yes, but we'll get by.
00:15:53If it was dark, I'd feel better in the dark.
00:15:56The day is done and darkness falls from the wings of night.
00:16:00You know how it goes on, Willie?
00:16:02I never learnt no poetry.
00:16:03You should, Willie.
00:16:04That's Longfellow.
00:16:06And the night shall be filled with music,
00:16:08and the cares that infest the day shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
00:16:12and they'll silently steal away.
00:16:15That's from the heart, Willie.
00:16:20Hello, an AB64.
00:16:22Well, well.
00:16:24Now we have an identity.
00:16:27Now, you did say Sergeant Foreman, didn't you?
00:16:29Yes, Bert Foreman.
00:16:30He's dark and he's tall and he's good-looking,
00:16:32but don't you tell him I told you so.
00:16:33OK, I'll ask for him personally.
00:16:35Yes, he's very strict, but if you tell him you know me, he'll do anything for you.
00:16:37We'll go over to the station right away.
00:16:39You will put in a good word for him, won't you?
00:16:40I'll try my very best.
00:16:41Goodbye.
00:16:42Goodbye.
00:16:44All right, Willie?
00:16:45Hey, George, supposing there's a copper inside?
00:16:47Oh, we'll risk it.
00:16:48And don't forget I'm a corporal.
00:16:49OK.
00:16:50Cool.
00:16:51That's more like it.
00:16:52Come on.
00:17:01Yes?
00:17:02A bit of trouble, chum.
00:17:03I've got a deserter here due back in Oxford tonight
00:17:05and a broken-down lorry about three mile back up the road.
00:17:07I'll have to take him by train.
00:17:09That's all right, corporal.
00:17:10There's a stop in train in Oxford due in a few minutes.
00:17:12Yeah, I know, but I haven't got a warrant
00:17:14and I'm not going to pay the bleeders' fare.
00:17:16I've had some of that caper.
00:17:17Well, I dare say we can fix that.
00:17:19Your people can raise a warrant at the other end.
00:17:21Let's have your particulars.
00:17:23Paperwork?
00:17:24Paperwork.
00:17:25Paperwork.
00:17:26Paperwork.
00:17:27Paperwork.
00:17:28Paperwork.
00:17:29Paperwork all right?
00:17:30Surely.
00:17:31Surely.
00:17:32Hear what I say?
00:17:33Yeah.
00:17:34Why don't let's have a compartment on our own, will you?
00:17:36We don't want to embarrass the other passengers, you know.
00:17:38Oh, surely, surely.
00:17:39I'll fix it, corporal.
00:17:40You just hang on.
00:17:42All right.
00:17:43Travel first class, shall we, will you?
00:17:45While we're about it.
00:17:47Here's your tickets and your pay book.
00:17:49Just sign here, will you?
00:17:51I'll get the guard to lock you in a compartment, see?
00:17:54Then you won't have to worry at Oxford.
00:17:56Oh, don't bother about that, chum.
00:17:57Oh, no, no bother.
00:17:59Please, don't let him lock us.
00:18:00Shut up, you.
00:18:06I'm sorry.
00:18:07I'm sorry.
00:18:08I'm sorry.
00:18:09I'm sorry.
00:18:10I'm sorry.
00:18:11I'm sorry.
00:18:12I'm sorry.
00:18:13I'm sorry.
00:18:14I'm sorry.
00:18:16Get him aboard, corporal.
00:18:18I'll be along for you at Oxford.
00:18:20Thanks.
00:18:23Is this other door locked?
00:18:24No.
00:18:25You won't be disturbed.
00:18:26All the platformers are on this side.
00:18:28And don't worry, I shan't forget you.
00:18:30OK.
00:18:31Bye, chum.
00:18:37That's all right.
00:18:38That's all right.
00:18:44Funny, no coppers.
00:18:45I'd have thought they were down at the goods yard expecting us to jump a wagon.
00:18:51Here, get these blinds down.
00:18:55Are they on the train now?
00:18:57Surely.
00:18:58Locked in the last compartment of the first coach.
00:19:00The corporal didn't want no one barging in like.
00:19:02Didn't want his prisoner jumping out, I dare say.
00:19:04Some hopes of that.
00:19:05They was handcuffed together.
00:19:07Handcuffed?
00:19:08Surely.
00:19:09Do you mind if I take a look at them?
00:19:10You're a bit late.
00:19:11She's off.
00:19:13There may be nothing in it.
00:19:14I've got to check up on everything, though.
00:19:15Why, what's up?
00:19:16Haven't you read the morning paper?
00:19:18I looked at the racing.
00:19:19Try reading the news sometimes.
00:19:20Do you mind if I use your phone?
00:19:21Surely.
00:19:22Oh, come here.
00:19:30So Winnie put you on to me, did she?
00:19:34Listen, son.
00:19:35If my old mother was dying,
00:19:37and her last spoken words to me was,
00:19:39what do you know about Martin and Stannard?
00:19:41I couldn't tell her.
00:19:44Okay.
00:19:46Okay.
00:19:50Milton Wells Police Station.
00:19:52Yes.
00:19:55A corporal.
00:19:56Yes.
00:19:58Deserter.
00:19:59Yes.
00:20:02Oxford.
00:20:05Well, what's the next stop up the line?
00:20:07Right.
00:20:08I'll talk to the super,
00:20:09but hold the train there and check up on them.
00:20:11Okay?
00:20:14That was about them, wasn't it?
00:20:15It might have been.
00:20:17If you want information,
00:20:18you'd better see the inspector.
00:20:19I've been trying to see the inspector all day.
00:20:21You know that.
00:20:22He just isn't here.
00:20:23Then you won't be able to see him, will you?
00:20:26Oh, look, Sergeant.
00:20:27Do be reasonable.
00:20:29I've got no information for the press.
00:20:35Of course, if I was a smart reporter,
00:20:36I'd get over to Chipping Eden.
00:20:38Chipping Eden?
00:20:39What's happening there?
00:20:40Nothing much.
00:20:41We're holding a local train there
00:20:42to check up on a couple of suspects.
00:20:43That's all.
00:20:44Chipping Eden!
00:20:45Thanks, thanks a lot.
00:20:46Take care.
00:20:50Where are we going to now?
00:20:51Chipping Eden, to meet a train.
00:20:52And if we hurry,
00:20:53I reckon we can just make it.
00:20:54Oh, maybe we'll get some sleep tonight after all.
00:20:56Maybe, darling.
00:20:57Maybe.
00:21:06Chipping Eden first. Stop, will you?
00:21:08I thought we said we was going to Oxford.
00:21:10I had to say Oxford.
00:21:11There's no other place I could be taking you to.
00:21:13When we get out, we've got to box a bit clever.
00:21:15Where are we making for?
00:21:16You do as I say and don't ask questions.
00:21:18I'm glad you're here.
00:21:19As she slows down,
00:21:20we drop through that door onto the track.
00:21:21Follow the line back
00:21:22and then hop it quick down the embankment.
00:21:24See?
00:21:26What's the matter, Willie?
00:21:28You don't think I'm cross with you, do you?
00:21:30If I spoke a bit sharper,
00:21:32just because I know what's best for us.
00:21:34What's best for both of us?
00:21:35I want to get back home.
00:21:36Of course you do, Willie.
00:21:38And that's where I'm taking you in a roundabout way.
00:21:41Right at this moment,
00:21:42there'll be a pair of policemen's boots
00:21:43walking up and down outside your home.
00:21:45So that's not the place to go to yet.
00:21:48You got a mother?
00:21:51I had a mother too, Willie.
00:21:53The finest woman the Devon Trot deserved.
00:21:55I know how you feel.
00:21:57There's someone waiting
00:21:58to take the whole burden of your trouble
00:22:00on her tired old shoulders
00:22:02and let you go to sleep like an innocent child.
00:22:05It's a beautiful idea, Willie,
00:22:07but don't let it tempt you.
00:22:08She'd be worried.
00:22:09Worried?
00:22:10She'd be more worried
00:22:11if you and me turned up on her doorstep.
00:22:13This is all old stuff to me, Willie.
00:22:15You've got to keep on your toes, mind,
00:22:16but that's how I like it.
00:22:17You sure it's going to be all right?
00:22:19Sure.
00:22:20Everything's going to be all right.
00:22:26The devil's this.
00:22:32It's all right, officer.
00:22:33Press.
00:22:34Look, I'm trying to meet a train at Chipping Eden,
00:22:36and I'm late now.
00:22:37I can't help that, sir.
00:22:38I've got to see your identity card.
00:22:40You may not know it, sir.
00:22:42There's a couple of escaped prisoners in these parts.
00:22:45You don't say.
00:22:58Willie?
00:23:03When I say go, relax.
00:23:06And mind that ankle.
00:23:09Go!
00:23:16This is the compartment, inspector.
00:23:18Come on, come on, come on.
00:23:19Strewth, they've gone.
00:23:21They jumped the train.
00:23:23Ought to be in a ready circus, those two.
00:23:25Get back to the car and get hold of the super.
00:23:28Looks like it was Martin and Stannard.
00:23:30No luck, Fred?
00:23:32Not this time.
00:23:33I think it was them, all right, but they won't get far.
00:23:35They must have got a hold of a battle dress somehow
00:23:37and bluffed the clerk as sure of independent travel.
00:23:39What'll you do now, Fred?
00:23:40Up for super.
00:23:41Good night, Jess.
00:23:42Good night.
00:23:43Mind if I use your phone, Jess?
00:23:44That blessed paper of yours, eh?
00:23:46You'll read it tomorrow.
00:23:47They'll be glad to know I'm still alive.
00:23:51Thanks to that remarkable piece of efficiency,
00:23:53we've missed the train.
00:23:54Unless she's running late.
00:23:56Unless she's running late.
00:23:57Oh, you'll get your story, darling.
00:23:59If there is a story.
00:24:00There's always a story.
00:24:02Just getting the right one that counts.
00:24:14I'm so sorry.
00:24:15Has the Oxford train gone yet?
00:24:17Oh, ten minutes ago.
00:24:18Oh, blast.
00:24:19Look, were you here?
00:24:20Did the police check up on those two men?
00:24:22Steady, son. What's the rush?
00:24:23Well, I'm a reporter on the Tribune.
00:24:25Oh, well.
00:24:26Always ready to help the press.
00:24:28Oh, good.
00:24:29What happened?
00:24:30You did say the Tribune?
00:24:31Yes, yes.
00:24:32Well, it seems that a corporal
00:24:34handcuffed to a deserter
00:24:35got on the train at Shawbury.
00:24:37I know, yes.
00:24:38And jumped it, just as she was pulling in here.
00:24:39They think it was Martin and Stannard?
00:24:41That seems to be the general conclusion.
00:24:43Must have stolen a battle dress from somewhere.
00:24:45Um, is there a telephone here?
00:24:47Right behind you.
00:24:48Five minutes, darling.
00:24:50I wonder where they are now.
00:24:52Ah, a lot of people would like to know that.
00:24:54Wouldn't I?
00:24:56No.
00:25:03Hello, Wainwright.
00:25:04Bill.
00:25:05Look, I've got something.
00:25:06They stole a battle dress,
00:25:08and they took a train from Shawbury posing as a corporal,
00:25:10and then they jumped the train at Chipping Eaton,
00:25:12and now heaven knows where they are.
00:25:14Listen, Wainwright.
00:25:15I heard that story a quarter of an hour ago
00:25:16from our local correspondent.
00:25:18These now men have to get about on sticks.
00:25:20Pull your finger out.
00:25:22Look, Bill.
00:25:23I can't be in ten places at once.
00:25:25I don't want you in ten places.
00:25:27I want you in one place,
00:25:28but the right place.
00:25:30What?
00:25:31Can you go to bed?
00:25:32No.
00:25:33Why should you?
00:25:34While these men are at large,
00:25:35you're trailing them.
00:25:37Goodbye.
00:25:45Well?
00:25:46Wasn't he pleased?
00:25:47Delighted.
00:25:48What's the matter?
00:25:49That kind gentleman who was so obliging
00:25:51was our local correspondent.
00:25:53He beat me to it.
00:25:54Oh, darling.
00:25:56Well,
00:25:57it's no good going back to Shawbury now, is it?
00:25:59Let's try and get a room in the local pub, shall we?
00:26:01Hmm.
00:26:15There.
00:26:16I wasn't far wrong, will you?
00:26:17Here's our billet for tonight.
00:26:52I knew you'd come.
00:26:57It isn't that I wouldn't have you.
00:26:59I can't.
00:27:00I'm booked right up.
00:27:01If he was to come a couple of hours earlier,
00:27:03I could have obliged you.
00:27:04Is there anywhere else near here?
00:27:06That's just the trouble.
00:27:07I don't know that there is.
00:27:08I fixed those two newspaper men
00:27:10over to Mrs. Buckle across the way.
00:27:12Newspaper men?
00:27:13London people.
00:27:15Competition.
00:27:16Can't you possibly help us?
00:27:18You see,
00:27:19we were only married this morning.
00:27:21Look me, darling.
00:27:22Darling, it's no good making a secret of it.
00:27:24Oh, well, I don't know.
00:27:26Married this morning, eh?
00:27:28We'll have to do something about that.
00:27:30Oh, could you?
00:27:31Do you think?
00:27:32We don't mind what it is.
00:27:33I'll see what I can do,
00:27:34but I warn you,
00:27:35it's rough.
00:27:37It's plainly a bridal suite,
00:27:39but it's better than nothing.
00:27:42Oh.
00:27:44It's grand.
00:27:47And a lovely old assistant.
00:27:49I do say they'll be able to give you a bit of grub
00:27:51if you like to come down in the dining room.
00:27:53Oh, good. Thanks so much.
00:27:56Darling, I'm terribly sorry.
00:27:59Darling, there's nothing to be sorry about.
00:28:02It's fun.
00:28:04Kiss me.
00:28:08Meg, you're terribly sweet.
00:28:12Mmm.
00:28:16Ha, ha, ha.
00:28:24What's his name?
00:28:25Willie Stanard, the crybaby.
00:28:27What's he done?
00:28:28Nothing. I got in a jam.
00:28:29It would have been all right.
00:28:30I'd have got off.
00:28:31Stop it, you little fool.
00:28:32Once we get out of these things,
00:28:33you can do what you like.
00:28:34Give yourself up for all I care.
00:28:35Leave him alone.
00:28:37He's tired out.
00:28:38Got no guts.
00:28:39Hopeless.
00:28:41Well, what do you want me to do?
00:28:43Nothing you don't want to, Nora.
00:28:44Just a hacksaw.
00:28:45Let's get rid of these embarrassments, shall we?
00:28:47How long will it take?
00:28:48Don't worry.
00:28:49We should be gone before daylight
00:28:50if things turn out as I hope.
00:28:51Hacksaw?
00:28:52Yes, and bring a spare blade.
00:28:53These things are pretty tough.
00:28:57You've made a rotten mess of things, haven't you?
00:29:00I've made mistakes.
00:29:01Who hasn't?
00:29:03But the past doesn't exist for me.
00:29:05My life begins now.
00:29:07They'll never get me this time, Nora.
00:29:09They'll never get me again.
00:29:11You haven't changed much.
00:29:14Why should I?
00:29:16Old flames burn brightest?
00:29:20I'll get the saw.
00:29:24George, I'm sorry.
00:29:25It's all right, Willie. Forget it.
00:29:27She's right. I am tired.
00:29:28I didn't mean to...
00:29:29Of course you didn't.
00:29:30You're only a kid.
00:29:32A boy.
00:29:33And I forget that.
00:29:35What wouldn't I give to be your age again, Willie?
00:29:38All your life stretched out before you.
00:29:40Untrodden like a field of snow.
00:29:44Clean.
00:29:49Who's that?
00:29:50Her husband.
00:29:51He's not here, is he?
00:29:52He's somewhere in the Mediterranean, Willie.
00:29:53Lying at the bottom of it.
00:29:55He doth suffer a sea change into something rich and strange.
00:29:59What's that mean?
00:30:03It means that he won't bother us tonight.
00:30:14Do you want something?
00:30:15Good evening, Mr. Pearson.
00:30:16We thought we heard something just now.
00:30:18Oh, you heard me knock over a pile of scrap the boy left out.
00:30:21I heard you drive up. We thought you wanted something.
00:30:23I'm all locked up.
00:30:24Well, we came to warn you to keep locked up tonight.
00:30:26Those two men?
00:30:27Yes, they're right in this area.
00:30:28And they must be getting mighty hungry by now.
00:30:30Don't worry. They won't bother me.
00:30:32I've got nothing for them.
00:30:33We have.
00:30:34Good night, Mr. Pearson.
00:30:36Good night.
00:30:37Good night.
00:30:43Good night.
00:30:53Good girl.
00:30:54Cool as a cucumber.
00:30:55But why did I stop here?
00:30:56Oh, they like to feel they're earning their money.
00:31:08They've gone.
00:31:09I know. We heard them.
00:31:10Wait a minute.
00:31:11I'll put down this paper.
00:31:18What would I get if I was caught harbouring a criminal?
00:31:21Don't worry. You won't be caught.
00:31:23Nobody's going to be caught.
00:31:25Are they, Willie?
00:31:29I heard someone over here.
00:31:33Nora, turn on that radio.
00:31:41Remember that tune?
00:31:47Yes, I remember it.
00:31:50I'll get you some food.
00:32:11George Martin and William Percival Stannard,
00:32:14who jumped from a moving police car this morning,
00:32:17are still at large.
00:32:19Roads over a wide area are patrolled by mobile police.
00:32:24It's still there.
00:32:27I'm sorry for you, Mrs. Martin.
00:32:29Honest, I am.
00:32:30If there's anything that Mrs. and I can do to help,
00:32:32you know you've only got to say the word.
00:32:34I know.
00:32:35There's nothing I can do.
00:32:37I just hope it doesn't drag on for days, that's all.
00:32:40I can't understand him.
00:32:41What's he want to go and get himself in this mess for
00:32:43and upset everybody?
00:32:44He just can't help it.
00:32:45It's about time he learned to help it.
00:32:47What's a good idea? That's what he wants.
00:32:49Now you're talking.
00:32:51Sometimes I think he's like this because his mother spoiled him.
00:32:54His dad was killed when he was a little chap
00:32:56and his mother just couldn't do enough for him.
00:32:59He don't act like a mother's boy.
00:33:01If he was a good boy, he'd be a good boy.
00:33:05He don't act like a mother's boy.
00:33:07If you ask me, he's two people, really.
00:33:10One half of him is nice and charming and kind,
00:33:13do anything for you,
00:33:15and the other half is frightened and angry and cruel.
00:33:19When he's like that, I don't think he knows what he's doing.
00:33:23A bit of discipline is what he needs.
00:33:25Oh, but he got that in the army.
00:33:27He got the MF.
00:33:28Did he?
00:33:29And the very next week he goes and deserts.
00:33:31There's no sense in it, he just does it.
00:33:33It's something inside his mind that's not quite right.
00:33:37He's just a misfit, if you know what I mean.
00:33:40I know he don't deserve a missus like you, mate.
00:33:43And I'd sell him so too if I knew where he was at this minute.
00:33:53Dead to the world.
00:33:55He'd better make the most of it.
00:33:58What did you do?
00:34:00Does it matter?
00:34:03Yes, it does.
00:34:05Robbery with violence, they call it.
00:34:07No, it wasn't as bad as it sounds.
00:34:09We did a job together, a fellow and me.
00:34:11When it came to settling day, one share wasn't enough for him.
00:34:15Wanted mine too, so I went to see him.
00:34:17Two hours later, I was inside.
00:34:20He had some woman there who didn't quite appreciate the situation.
00:34:23She rang up the police.
00:34:25When he comes out of hospital, he'll have a lot of awkward questions to answer.
00:34:30He will come out.
00:34:32He will.
00:34:59Stop it.
00:35:06Her back again.
00:35:08Watching the road, I suppose.
00:35:10That's torn it. Now, I'll never get these things off before morning.
00:35:13Can they hear?
00:35:14A mile off.
00:35:15Well, turn on the radio.
00:35:16Don't be a fool. It's the middle of the night.
00:35:18Blast.
00:35:19Look, there's a place out at the back where you'd be safe for a bit.
00:35:22There's nothing there.
00:35:23I'll go and have a look.
00:35:25Blast.
00:35:26Look, there's a place out at the back where you'd be safe for a bit.
00:35:28It's not far.
00:35:29Well, they'll see us.
00:35:30What if you go before daylight?
00:35:32All right.
00:35:33But we'd better sit quiet for a bit.
00:35:44What made you come to me?
00:35:46Why do you suppose?
00:35:48There never was a woman in my life that took your place.
00:35:51Don't fool yourself.
00:35:53I guess I was handy.
00:35:55Yes, you were.
00:35:57But I'd rather it had been you than anyone else in the world.
00:36:04And listen.
00:36:06When I get out of this trouble, I'm going right away from this country.
00:36:09Africa, Australia.
00:36:11Somewhere new and young.
00:36:13And you know what?
00:36:15You're coming out there to me.
00:36:18What good is this place to a girl like you?
00:36:21When I lost Jimmy, the people here were pretty good.
00:36:25They let me stay on rent-free.
00:36:27They gave me a job down below.
00:36:30They put in two men to take over Jimmy's work.
00:36:33I can say I've been lucky.
00:36:38You think I'm talking big, eh?
00:36:40I remember what you used to say.
00:36:43Too much talk.
00:36:45Too many dreams.
00:36:48Well, that's over.
00:36:51I know where I'm going now.
00:36:53You'd better if you're ever going to get out of this.
00:36:57Don't worry.
00:36:59They'll never catch me.
00:37:06We're getting light soon.
00:37:09Yes, we'd better be moving along.
00:37:13Can I say goodbye to you?
00:37:15Like I used to?
00:37:17I guess so.
00:37:20Big luck?
00:37:22Tomorrow there'll be rings under those eyes.
00:37:25I wish everything was different.
00:37:28Everything's going to be from now on.
00:37:30We're not saying goodbye, Nora.
00:37:32We're saying hello again.
00:37:34Everything starts from now.
00:37:37Too much talk.
00:37:40Too many dreams.
00:37:51Nora.
00:37:53I need money.
00:37:56I've got a few shillings.
00:37:58How much? Ten?
00:38:01About that.
00:38:03Have you still got Jimmy's things?
00:38:05What do you mean? Clothes?
00:38:07Coat, trousers, hat.
00:38:09I can't go around in these things.
00:38:11I'll fix it.
00:38:14Good girl.
00:38:20See you when I'm gone.
00:38:38Wake up, will you? We'd better be making tracks.
00:38:51Up the path, over the third gate on the right.
00:38:53Keep on the track and then you'll come to it.
00:38:55I'll bring what I can. It'll be after nine before I get up there.
00:38:57Okay, I'll wait.
00:39:20Mr. Waring! Telephone!
00:39:36Mr. Waring! Telephone!
00:39:39All right, I'm coming.
00:39:45Hello? Hello?
00:39:47Oh, well, if it isn't our old friend from the Tribune.
00:39:49Welcome to the West, Waring.
00:39:51Hello, Brewster.
00:39:52Been scooping the countryside alone and unaided?
00:39:54Very funny. Hello?
00:39:56Who's here apart from you boys?
00:39:58All the gang. Best story out of town for a month.
00:40:00Yes, it would be. Hello, Waring here.
00:40:02Good morning, Mr. Waring.
00:40:04I see you've changed your hotel.
00:40:06I hope you slept well.
00:40:08What time did you get to bed?
00:40:10Eight o'clock?
00:40:12Nice story the local correspondent did for us.
00:40:14Have you seen the paper this morning?
00:40:16Or have I got you out of bed?
00:40:18I'm sorry, Bill, but there are no further developments at the moment.
00:40:20Anybody else down there with you?
00:40:23Oh, you had to be on your metal, weren't you?
00:40:25The job you did for us yesterday was shocking.
00:40:27Listen, Waring.
00:40:29Tomorrow's paper is going to carry a story.
00:40:31I want it to be your story.
00:40:33And I want it good.
00:40:35Goodbye.
00:40:40You look like a man who's been talking to Bill Wainwright, right?
00:40:42Right.
00:40:45What are you laughing at?
00:40:53Not very polite, are they, Willie?
00:41:15Is this the place?
00:41:17This is it, Willie.
00:41:19And what a text for a philosopher.
00:41:21The poor flesh, the more enduring bone,
00:41:24the living earth reclaims them in the end.
00:41:28I don't follow.
00:41:31No, you wouldn't.
00:41:45Come on, Willie. We've got to get cracking.
00:42:09I've been thinking, George. You know what?
00:42:11Now, Willie, what?
00:42:13I've got a cultural camp where I was, so I've got a motorbike.
00:42:15It's only about ten miles from here, near Milton.
00:42:17Petrol and all.
00:42:19Whereabouts is it, Willie, exactly?
00:42:21In a shed opposite the first line of huts as you go in the gate.
00:42:23The camp's on the main London Road.
00:42:25We could be on that bike and away before anyone could get a look at us.
00:42:27No, Willie, that's one of the things they'll be looking for.
00:42:29They'll have got the number.
00:42:31Remember what I told you.
00:42:33You wouldn't get five miles.
00:42:35No, they took everything out of the hut, I know, but I don't think they know about my motorbike.
00:42:37Willie, that's the last thing we must do.
00:42:39Now, don't you go near that camp again.
00:42:41Or go for your bike, if you want to stay free.
00:42:43It seems a pity.
00:42:55Come on, Ricky. Come on, boy.
00:43:11Good morning.
00:43:13Good morning.
00:43:25George?
00:43:35The best I could do.
00:43:37Did that man see you?
00:43:39I don't think so.
00:43:41He saw me. I think he might come back.
00:43:43I don't think I should stay here.
00:43:45You give me five minutes to get away and then you'll be on your way.
00:43:47I shall never forget you for this, Nora. Never.
00:43:49Then we're all square.
00:43:51All square?
00:43:53It's a matter of interest.
00:43:55Which of you two took that pound?
00:43:57Pound?
00:43:59It was in my handbag. It was money from the till.
00:44:01Hand it over, Willie.
00:44:03What?
00:44:05Hand it over.
00:44:07Where's the lady back her money?
00:44:09Look out. It's the dog. We'll go and get rid of him.
00:44:25I wonder what she meant about that pound.
00:44:27Except me.
00:44:37I wonder what she meant about that pound.
00:45:07I wonder what she meant about that pound.
00:45:09I wonder what she meant about that pound.
00:45:35Who's in there?
00:45:39Who's in there?
00:45:47He's not. No.
00:45:51He'll be all right.
00:45:53Come on. Let's grab those things and get going.
00:45:55Come on.
00:46:07All right.
00:46:19Hello, darling.
00:46:21Morning, Mrs. Warren.
00:46:23Good morning.
00:46:25I hope you slept well.
00:46:27Oh, beautifully, thanks.
00:46:29It was a bit of an overstatement, wasn't it, Ollie?
00:46:31You know, I kept on thinking about those two men.
00:46:33You know, I kept on thinking about those two men.
00:46:35Yes, well, at any rate, they can't be having a worse breakfast than this, can they?
00:46:37Yes, well, at any rate, they can't be having a worse breakfast than this, can they?
00:46:47You can have the milk, Willie. It makes bones.
00:46:49I don't know how I'll get along without you.
00:46:51I've told you what to do.
00:46:53Don't beg lifts on the roads.
00:46:55Don't go breaking into houses.
00:46:57Get lost in a crowd.
00:46:59Go anywhere except places where you're known.
00:47:01We've got to split up and there's an end of it.
00:47:03I thought we were sort of friends.
00:47:05Don't give me that stuff. There's no such things as friends.
00:47:07People are either useful or useless.
00:47:09You're useless.
00:47:11I didn't think you minded that.
00:47:13You didn't seem to when you pulled me out of that car.
00:47:15And what about these?
00:47:17To me, Willie, you were just part of the handcuffs.
00:47:19Now I've got rid of them.
00:47:21See?
00:47:23It's all yours, son.
00:47:25Just give me half an hour to get away from this place before you leave.
00:47:27Will it take longer than that to get this off?
00:47:29It'll manage. So long.
00:47:47I love you.
00:48:17I love you.
00:48:37You know, I can read Paddle like a book, my dear.
00:48:39He pretended it was nothing,
00:48:41but I could see at once he'd had a nasty shock.
00:48:43And then, of course, the whole story had to come out.
00:48:45My dear, he was in the next compartment.
00:48:47All the way from Shawbury to Chipping Eaton,
00:48:49Harold was right next door.
00:48:51Two desperate men and Harold sitting right next door
00:48:53with a gold watch that was presented to him
00:48:55by the bowling club last July
00:48:57in his left-hand waistcoat pocket all the time.
00:48:59Of course, I said to Harold,
00:49:01barely Harold, you surely don't imagine.
00:49:15I love you.
00:49:45I love you.
00:50:15I love you.
00:50:39How is it? Safe, sir?
00:50:41Yes.
00:50:43Get some more rain before nightfall, I shouldn't wonder.
00:50:53How far is this agricultural camp from here?
00:50:55Just outside, sir, on the Shawbury Road.
00:50:57You joining him?
00:50:59Yes, I've got some friends there.
00:51:01I wonder, would you do me a favour?
00:51:03I think so. What is it, sir?
00:51:05Would you mind if a lady left a parcel for me here sometime tomorrow?
00:51:07It's my laundry.
00:51:09I haven't got a fixed address at the moment.
00:51:11That'll be all right. What name?
00:51:13Robertson.
00:51:15Very OK, Mr. Robertson.
00:51:19Morning, Sarge. Morning.
00:51:21Morning, Sergeant. Morning.
00:51:25Usual? Yep.
00:51:27Morning.
00:51:29Morning.
00:51:31Nothing come in, Sarge,
00:51:33about them two? No.
00:51:35That was a pretty smart idea, that battle dress.
00:51:37I reckon they got clean away.
00:51:39They'll get them in the end. Always do.
00:51:41That right, Sarge? That's right.
00:51:43I haven't got a chance.
00:51:45That's right.
00:52:09Anything else, sir? No, thanks.
00:52:11Razor blades, shaving cream, air tonic?
00:52:13At your risk, sir.
00:52:15No, just a scratch.
00:52:16Thank you, sir.
00:52:39You picked a rum and when you picked him, my dear,
00:52:41there's no dispute in that.
00:52:44He's never been no use to no one.
00:52:46You wash your hands of him now for good and all, I suppose.
00:52:49I wouldn't like to do that, Mrs. Gulley. Now he's in trouble.
00:52:52If I could help him to another chance, I would.
00:52:54There's nothing to be done.
00:52:56Except sit and wait.
00:52:58Oh, these men.
00:53:11I'm just going next door. There's someone on the phone.
00:53:13Oh, what's wrong with ours?
00:53:15Oh, I see.
00:53:17It's him, eh?
00:53:18I expect so.
00:53:19I won't be long.
00:53:24Is that you, Jenny?
00:53:25You know who it is?
00:53:27Now listen carefully. I've only got three minutes.
00:53:29I need money. Badly.
00:53:30Get as much as you can. Five pounds. Ten pounds.
00:53:33Get my Macintosh in a clean shirt and make him up in a parcel. Understand?
00:53:37Go to Paddington and catch the night train for Milton Wells.
00:53:40Milton Wells.
00:53:41I want you to leave the parcel in the barber's shop in the high street.
00:53:44It's the only one. Say it's for Mr. Robertson. Understand?
00:53:48Yes, George.
00:53:49Shall I see you? Are you all right?
00:53:51You can't see me. You know what's happened, don't you?
00:53:54Now you do as I say as a good girl. Goodbye.
00:53:56But George.
00:54:00Hello.
00:54:01Hello.
00:54:11Was it him?
00:54:13Yes. It was.
00:54:15There.
00:54:16What does he want?
00:54:17He wants me to go.
00:54:19Where he is. To take him some money and things.
00:54:21I've got to do it, Mrs. Gulley. Somehow.
00:54:23Yes, dear. Of course.
00:54:36How long do you suppose Martin and the boy can keep you?
00:54:39I suppose Martin and the boy can keep it up.
00:54:41Oh, in good escaping weather like this, anything up to a week.
00:54:44A week?
00:54:45Rough luck on you two.
00:54:46Oh, I wouldn't mind if we were doing any good to anybody.
00:54:49But just hunting a man as if he were an animal, it's... well, it's degrading.
00:54:53I don't see why. He deserves all he gets.
00:54:55That's right, Meg. This chap's a minister of society.
00:54:57So he may be. There's no excuse for making a public circus of it. That's what we're doing.
00:55:01Come on. They're only giving our readers what they want.
00:55:03If it is what they want, and I don't believe it, they should be ashamed of themselves.
00:55:07What'll they do to him when they catch him?
00:55:09Oh, give him seven years, I expect.
00:55:11You can't blame a bloke for running away from there, can you?
00:55:14You know what I'd do?
00:55:15What?
00:55:16If a fellow turns out to be a confirmed criminal, I'd bump him off. Bing.
00:55:20You'd do what?
00:55:21Well, it's better than letting him spend three quarters of his life in jug.
00:55:24Now look, a dog is man's best friend, right?
00:55:27Well, supposing he gets rabies, what do you do? Bump him off.
00:55:30Yes, that's all very well, but where are you going to stop?
00:55:33You kill mad dogs, poisonous snakes, and hardened criminals.
00:55:36How far is it from that to putting your enemies in a concentration camp and gassing them?
00:55:40I think it's actually...
00:55:41Don't say any more, Meg.
00:55:42Why not?
00:55:43Well, I'm just thinking what I'd like to do with Wainwright.
00:56:07Are you looking for somebody, mate?
00:56:10Yes, it's my motorbike in there and I want it.
00:56:12Oh, how do you make that out?
00:56:13Well, I lent it to a young fellow by the name of Stannard.
00:56:15He got pulled in by the police.
00:56:17Oh, that's right, you know.
00:56:18Well, I'd better come inside.
00:56:24Ah, she looks a treat, doesn't she?
00:56:25Willie looked after her well.
00:56:26You don't mind lending things to a conscientious fellow like Willie Stannard?
00:56:29No, I don't.
00:56:30Well, I don't.
00:56:31Well, I don't.
00:56:32Well, I don't.
00:56:33You don't mind lending things to a conscientious fellow like Willie Stannard?
00:56:36What did they pick him up for exactly?
00:56:37Didn't you see the paper?
00:56:39Not the local one.
00:56:40It was after a dance at Milton.
00:56:42Some woman said he tried to interfere with her.
00:56:44Did he?
00:56:45I wouldn't know.
00:56:46Pretty hysterical sort, she was.
00:56:48Poor Willie.
00:56:49I think they made a mistake.
00:56:51I was going to give evidence for him when his case came up and now he's gone and escaped.
00:56:54Seems daft to me.
00:56:55Best thing he can do is to give himself up.
00:56:57I don't think you'd better touch the bike, mister.
00:56:59Oh?
00:57:00Willie always said it was his.
00:57:02Well, I told you.
00:57:03I lent it to him for his holiday.
00:57:05Maybe you did, maybe you didn't.
00:57:07What's his number?
00:57:15Stop him!
00:57:16It's Martin!
00:57:32Stop him!
00:57:53You see, Mr. Evans, I must do what he asks.
00:57:55I don't think he knows they're watching me.
00:57:57They're still at it, aren't they?
00:58:00If they like to follow me, I'm playing right into their hands, aren't I?
00:58:03Yes.
00:58:04Here, I could take you down in the cab.
00:58:06They wouldn't follow that.
00:58:07But I couldn't afford it.
00:58:08That's all right.
00:58:09You don't want to worry about that.
00:58:10You can settle it up some other time.
00:58:12Now, what time have you got to get there?
00:58:13Tomorrow morning early, he said.
00:58:15Right.
00:58:16Then we'd better get going tonight.
00:58:17That's very kind of you.
00:58:19Yes, well, I'll give you a call later, ducks.
00:58:23Get cracking, chaps.
00:58:24The chase is on.
00:58:25They've nearly caught Martin on a farm.
00:58:26Where'd you get that news?
00:58:27Milton Wells.
00:58:28I'll say there are.
00:58:29Nothing got settled, is there?
00:58:30Not a word.
00:58:31Ronnie!
00:58:32I'm coming with you!
00:58:33Look, darling, I'm terribly sorry, but there's no room in the car.
00:58:36I refuse to be left alone any longer.
00:58:38This is our honeymoon, remember?
00:58:39Yes, I know, darling.
00:58:40I'll only be about half an hour.
00:58:41Besides, something might come through on the telephone.
00:58:42Now, be a good girl, will you?
00:58:43I am.
00:58:44But if you're not back in half an hour, I'll take the next train back to London.
00:58:47The next train back to London's from here, darling.
00:58:48It's tomorrow morning.
00:58:49Goodbye.
00:58:58Goodbye.
00:58:59Goodbye.
00:59:00Goodbye.

01:01:20I've come to give myself up.
01:01:35That's right, son.
01:01:38Come in and sit down.
01:01:41I'll get you a nice cup of tea, eh?
01:01:48Goodnight.
01:01:49Goodnight.
01:01:50Goodnight.
01:01:51Goodnight.
01:01:52Bless you, friend.

01:01:54Goodnight.
01:01:55Bless you, friend.
01:01:56Bless you, ma'am.
01:01:57A beautiful service.
01:01:58Yes, wasn't it?
01:01:59An oasis of peace.
01:02:00Goodnight.
01:02:01Yes, you must.
01:02:02Good evening, friends.
01:02:03Good evening.
01:02:04I don't remember seeing you.
01:02:06You see, we're trying to make a real thing of these midweek services, but it's very difficult.
01:02:07There are so many other attractions, aren't there?
01:02:08Do you live in Milton?
01:02:09No, I'm just passing through.
01:02:10Oh, you've no coat.
01:02:11You'll get drenched.
01:02:12Better come under my umbrella.
01:02:13Oh, I'm sorry.
01:02:14Oh, I'm sorry.
01:02:15Oh, I'm sorry.
01:02:16Oh, I'm sorry.
01:02:17Oh, I'm sorry.
01:02:18Oh, I'm sorry.

01:02:37Oh, I'm sorry.
01:02:38Oh, I'm sorry.
01:02:39Oh, I'm sorry.
01:02:40Oh, I'm sorry.
01:02:41Oh, I'm sorry.
01:02:42Oh, I'm sorry.
01:02:43Oh, I'm sorry.
01:02:45Oh, I'm sorry.
01:02:52Please come in, Mister...
01:02:53What did you say your name was?
01:02:54I didn't, but it's Robertson.
01:02:55Mr Robertson, I'm sure you'd like a cup of tea.
01:02:56Anyone at home?
01:02:57No, they'll only be us.
01:02:58Mum's gone for the pictures.
01:02:59Come in.
01:03:11Why don't you come into the sitting room?
01:03:13Slip that jacket off and dry it in front of the fire.
01:03:16I'll put the kettle on.
01:03:29The kettle will be ready.
01:03:40Never mind the tea.
01:03:41But you said...
01:03:42I'm in a hurry, I'm leaving right now.
01:03:43One thing before I go, I see you wear a wedding ring.
01:03:46Well?
01:03:47Your husband wouldn't be a policeman, would he?
01:03:49I don't know what you mean.
01:03:50Not a flat footed policeman looking for promotion?
01:03:52No, no.
01:03:53You little liar.
01:03:54What's the idea of bringing me here?
01:03:56You know who I am, don't you?
01:03:57No, I don't, really I don't.
01:03:58Tell me.
01:04:00Hear something?
01:04:01No.
01:04:02Liar!
01:04:29Who?
01:04:30Mr. Brewster?
01:04:32No, I'm sorry, he's not here.
01:04:34No, they've all gone.
01:04:37Yes, they should be back any minute now.
01:04:40You can give me the message.
01:04:45Listen, all of you.
01:04:46George Martin has been seen riding a bicycle in this direction.
01:04:48And the police think he's making for Quarry Woods.
01:04:51Come on, Ronnie!
01:04:52Ronnie!
01:04:56Remember me?
01:04:58Darling, I'm so sorry.
01:05:00Is it going to be like this always?
01:05:02I'm afraid so.
01:05:03Until I'm a news editor.
01:05:05Oh, well, if I can bear it now, I expect I'll enjoy it later.
01:05:08Look, Meg.
01:05:09You'd better go to bed.
01:05:10This will probably be an all night session.
01:05:12Oh, darling.
01:05:14I don't want to go to bed.
01:05:17Damn sure.
01:05:18I do.
01:05:23Feeling better, sir?
01:05:24Yes, thanks.
01:05:31Now, stand up there.
01:05:32One or two things I want to ask you.
01:05:33Now, sit down.
01:05:39You said that when you and Martin left the Quarry Garage, you made for a cottage.
01:05:42That's right, sir.
01:05:43Where was it?
01:05:44Near the woods, not far from the training ground.
01:05:46Were you alone while you were in there?
01:05:48Yes, sir.
01:05:49Nobody came in?
01:05:51No.
01:05:52But you didn't stay there?
01:05:53No.
01:05:54What made you go?
01:05:55Well, we didn't want to get caught there.
01:05:57I see.
01:05:58So you left the cottage and went into the open?
01:06:00That's right, sir.
01:06:07Stanard, the body of a man named Hodges was found there late this afternoon.
01:06:11He'd been murdered.
01:06:13You still say that you saw no one?
01:06:14Yes, I saw him, but I didn't do it, sir.
01:06:16I didn't touch him, honest.
01:06:18That's all I want to know.
01:06:20Stand up.
01:06:25William Stanard, I now formally charge you with the willful murder of Edward Hodges.
01:06:29I warn you that anything you say may be taken down in writing and used in evidence at your trial.
01:07:19Nora!
01:07:49You were too fool to come back here.
01:07:51I had to.
01:07:52There was nowhere else.
01:07:55Well?
01:07:56What's up?
01:07:57You look a bit queer.
01:07:58Do I?
01:08:03Bloody little fool.
01:08:04What are you going to do about it?
01:08:05Do?
01:08:06Well, they've got him, haven't they?
01:08:08They can keep him for all I care.
01:08:10He didn't do it, did he, George?
01:08:12How should I know?
01:08:13You were there, weren't you?
01:08:15Of course not.
01:08:17You mean you're not going to say anything about it?
01:08:19What do you take me for?
01:08:21I took you for a man once, George Martin.
01:08:24If you don't tell them the truth, then I will.
01:08:26Nora, don't be crazy.
01:08:27He's only a kid, and they're making out he's a murderer.
01:08:29He couldn't have knocked out that fellow.
01:08:31He's never knocked anyone out in his life.
01:08:33But you've done it once, and you'll do it again.
01:08:35Unless you say something, he's finished.
01:08:37Okay, he's finished.
01:08:38So what?
01:08:39You were like him once, George.
01:08:40Have you forgotten?
01:08:41Got their hands on you early, didn't they?
01:08:43They finished you, all right.
01:08:44Shut up!
01:08:45I won't shut up!
01:08:46They turned you into a pretty tough specimen, didn't they?
01:08:48Well, I'm not standing around while they turn him into one of your sort
01:08:50just for the want of a helping hand.
01:08:52You dare utter one word...
01:08:53Oh, you'll kill me too, eh?
01:08:55Well, go on.
01:08:56I'm not afraid.
01:09:08Ah, good morning.
01:09:09Er, am I right for Milton Wells?
01:09:11Yes, straight on.
01:09:13You're a long way from home.
01:09:14Yes, we've been on the road all night.
01:09:16I don't suppose there's any chance of getting a cup of tea, is there?
01:09:19Well, I'm not really open yet.
01:09:20Oh, I see.
01:09:21But...
01:09:37Would you wait in there?
01:09:38I'll put the kettle on.
01:09:39Oh, it's very kind of you.
01:09:40Thanks very much.
01:09:45Oh, dear.
01:09:57Would you give me the police station, please?
01:10:01It's only a question of time now before he's rounded up.
01:10:05That's it.
01:10:06Put me back to Wainwright, will you, old boy?
01:10:09Now, I suppose you want to go back to sleep again.
01:10:11Well, you've been up all night.
01:10:12Too bad, too bad.
01:10:14Well, I'm afraid you can't.
01:10:15This store is just hotting up and I want you in at the kill.
01:10:18Anybody can do what you've done up to now.
01:10:20What exactly do you want, then?
01:10:23I don't want you to do anything that you don't feel you'd really love to do, Mr. Waring.
01:10:27Of course, if you've lost your initiative and don't like your job, all you have to do is to tell me.
01:10:32All right, Wainwright.
01:10:33All right.
01:10:34I resign right here and now I resign.
01:10:36It's all yours.
01:10:37Goodbye.
01:10:39I thought you never were coming.
01:10:42Well, at least I haven't got to go out again.
01:10:45Thank heavens for small mercies.
01:10:49You may as well know.
01:10:51I've resigned.
01:10:52You what?
01:10:53I've resigned.
01:10:54I've chucked it.
01:10:55I just told that Wainwright where to get off.
01:10:58Darling, you can't walk out in the middle of the night like that.
01:11:00I can't.
01:11:01I can't.
01:11:02I can't.
01:11:03I can't.
01:11:04I can't.
01:11:05I can't.
01:11:06Darling, you can't walk out in the middle of a story.
01:11:09You'll never get another job ever.
01:11:12What'll you do?
01:11:14Go to bed, I hope.
01:11:36I can't.
01:12:06Would you like another cup, mate?
01:12:20No, thanks.
01:12:21I'd like to get on if you're ready.
01:12:22Why don't you all go in.
01:12:23You get in and we'll get going.
01:12:25That's it.
01:12:26Oh, how much was that, miss?
01:12:27With the petrol, eight and tenpence, please.
01:12:30Five bob, three and tenpence.
01:12:33Thank you very much.
01:12:37Oh, and thanks for the tea.
01:12:40Bye.
01:12:52What's up?
01:12:53You can't go any further on this road.
01:12:55Why not?
01:12:56Orders.
01:12:57We want to get to Milton Wells.
01:12:58Sorry, lady, you'll have to stop here for a bit.
01:13:00We've got to round up this fellow, Martin.
01:13:02Who?
01:13:03Martin.
01:13:04He's given us the slap once before.
01:13:06Dangerous bloke.
01:13:08Pull in on this side, please.
01:13:09Yes, all right, mate.
01:13:12Morning, sir.
01:13:13Morning.
01:13:16How many men have you got out?
01:13:17Thirty-five, sir.
01:13:18They're driving him back in this direction.
01:13:22Right, you'd better get the rest to move in from this side.
01:13:24Yes, sir, that's what we're doing.
01:13:27Good morning, sir.
01:13:28Good morning, Trent.
01:13:30How many men have you got out?
01:13:31Thirty-five, sir.
01:13:32They're driving him back in this direction.
01:13:34Right, then you'd better get the rest of the men from that side.
01:13:37Yes, sir, that's what we're doing.
01:13:38I think we've got him quartered now, sir.
01:13:40Suppose he tries the other side, down there.
01:13:42Well, that's battle training ground, sir, heavily mined.
01:13:44I don't think he'd be such a fool as to risk that.
01:14:26I don't think he'd be such a fool as to risk that.
01:14:56I don't think he'd be such a fool as to risk that.
01:15:26I don't think he'd be such a fool as to risk that.
01:15:56Hello, Brewster.
01:15:57Anything happen?
01:15:58Morning, old boy.
01:15:59Late as usual?
01:16:00Oh, at dawn this morning he resigned and went back to bed.
01:16:03That's right.
01:16:04I couldn't sleep.
01:16:06All these people because of George.
01:16:09They've gone down to see the fun.
01:16:13Fun.
01:16:14It's a pity they go and find something else better to do.
01:16:17Poor George.
01:16:18Poor George.
01:16:19Poor George.
01:16:20Poor George.
01:16:21Poor George.
01:16:23Poor George.
01:16:24Poor George.
01:16:25Poor George.
01:16:26Can't help it.
01:16:28Do you know him, then?
01:16:30She's his missus.
01:16:33Sorry.
01:16:35Didn't know.
01:16:44What's he like?
01:16:46Really?
01:16:48I don't know.
01:16:50George's wife.
01:16:52You must.
01:16:53Not really.
01:16:55Twenty-two years we've been married.
01:16:58Fourteen of them he's been inside.
01:17:00And five in the army.
01:17:02Three years.
01:17:04That's all we've had, really.
01:17:06All right, Inspector.
01:17:07Let's have a bangin'.
01:17:08Right, sir.
01:17:09Sergeant, tell your men to move in as soon as I give the signal.
01:17:11Very well, sir.
01:17:25Move in!
01:17:38Move in!
01:17:56Move in!
01:18:03Come back, Martin, or you'll be done for!
01:18:06You mean I'll be done for if I do?
01:18:08Come back!
01:18:09Why don't you come and get me?
01:18:10You afraid?
01:18:12Better use this, sir.
01:18:13We'll get the mind detectors up.
01:18:15Marty.
01:18:16Listen to me.
01:18:18Stay where you are.
01:18:20You hear me?
01:18:21Stay where you are.
01:18:23We're getting mind detectors up.
01:18:25What for?
01:18:26You're in the middle of a minefield.
01:18:28If you don't look out, you'll get plumbed to bits.
01:18:31Tell that to the Marines.
01:18:33It's true, Marty.
01:18:34Well, what do you want me to do?
01:18:35Give yourself up to the plate like young Stannard?
01:18:37You'll get a fair trial, and so will you if you're sensible.
01:18:40Fair trial?
01:18:41You make me sick.
01:18:42There's no such thing.
01:18:43I've had twenty trials, so I know.
01:18:45And I can tackle a ruddy minefield?
01:18:47Did it in the war fighting for you, you...
01:18:50Do you want to see something?
01:18:53Well, watch this!
01:18:55You crazy fool.
01:18:56Have you gone mad?
01:18:57It's true, Marty!
01:19:22It's true, Marty!
01:19:53Well, that's Wainwright's story.
01:19:55I hope it chokes him.
01:19:59She'll look after her, won't she?
01:20:01Don't you worry, miss. She'll be all right.
01:20:02Now, come on, mate.
01:20:03Sorry.
01:20:21Can I speak to you, please?
01:20:28Well?
01:20:29That boy, Stannard.
01:20:31What are they going to do with him?
01:20:32He'll stand his trial.
01:20:34For murder?
01:20:35Yes.
01:20:36But he didn't do it.
01:20:38How do you know?
01:20:41I was there.
01:20:43I saw what happened.
01:20:47You'd better get in.
01:20:59Now, what did you want to do, mate?
01:21:00Do you want to go down and see the police?
01:21:02No.
01:21:04I'd like to go home, if you don't mind.
01:21:06Yes, all right.
01:21:09I'm sorry.
01:21:12Sorry for me, or sorry for him?
01:21:15Well, I'm sorry for both of you.
01:21:18He could have been a great man, really,
01:21:20if things had worked out different.
01:21:22As it is, I suppose it's better dead.
01:21:25As it is.
01:21:30As it is.
01:22:00As it is.
