Sometimes I said, yeah, feeling alone.

No one to talk to, I got no telephone.

I hope to have things wrapped up here.

Yeah.

So, why did you call?

Yeah. He's here. He arrived this morning. In fact, he's with me right

I am her manager and I'm confident she'll do what she's told.

Mr. Scarlatti?

Sure. Yeah, I'll call him tonight. About night.

I'm just checking that you are right.

Well, I've Dave and Les around the back in uniform, and you and Collie and

Dickie Bowes maintaining a discreet presence as they all arrive, right?

What about a bag search?

A 200 quid a ticket.

Now back to it.

I screwed up.

No, you didn't.

Listen, just forget about it till tonight.

You don't think we should have one more try? No.

Listen, go take a shower and we'll go back to the hotel for lunch, okay?

Get out there, mate.

Oh.

The old hometown looks the same as

I step down from the train.

And there to meet me is my mama and papa.

Down the road I look and...

Rosemary, hair of gold and lips like cherries.

It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Oh. Bravo.

Bravo, bravo, bravo.

Tom Jones.

Oh, no. No, unfortunately.

Um, Harry Crawford.

Enrico Montanini.

Oh, how do you do?

I do not remember your name on the bill.

Oh, no. No, I'm handling security for tonight.

Pity. You have a fine voice.

Oh, thank you.

But it is a comfort to know that we will be in such safe hands.

Oh, yes, yes.

We'll make sure of that.

I was going to have a warm -up, but I think I am warm enough.

A cup of coffee will be more welcome.

It does not do to practice too much.

Oh, no, quite.

You are welcome to join me if you are sure everything is quite secure.

Oh, yes, I'd be delighted.

Allow me.

Quick and clean, Mr. Eckford. That's how I work.

So don't keep me hanging around too long, okay?

I'm pushing her as hard as I can. It'll be okay.

I said I'd do it, and I will.

Good.

Because here's how it goes.

You get the girl to take me to Margiana.

I do my job.

Everybody's happy.

Screwed up, however, you might be next.

All right, I get the picture. I'll talk to her again tonight.

You do that.

Meanwhile, I think I'll go and say hello.

Or would you prefer champagne? I cannot be for a performance.

No, no, coffee's perfect.

So, I mean, what's your... I mean, what do you... Look, I'm sorry. I know I

should know, but... In my own village, I am a living legend.

But in the rest of the world, you might know me if you were an opera buff.

Oh, you're a singer.

Are you fond of opera?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Of course, I don't get to it as often as I'd like.

We've got riverside premises, actually.

Not very far away from here.

Hello, come in. How lovely, you mean like Dockland.

John Bella!

I'm sorry, I'm disturbing you. Oh, no, no, no, of course not.

Harry, this is John, who is going to dance Giulietta for us.

Hi. Oh, nice to see you.

You're over from the States, then?

Yeah. We flew over from New York last night. But her beastly manager does not

make allowance for jet lag.

You look exhausted, sweetheart. Are you all right?

Oh, yeah.

Fine.

Oh,

I thought you were never going to get here. Well, I had to pick up the penguin

suits, didn't I? Harry insisted.

You're going to look like a couple of prunes in these.

Here.

There will be no parking restrictions imposed in the immediate surrounding

But there will be extra police officers on duty to keep the traffic moving.

Now my men will be advising people to stay clear of the front entrance.

This is in order to facilitate the smooth arrival of the celebrity and

limousines. There's a specially cordoned off area to the rear of the building

which has been set aside to accommodate these vehicles.

and they can stay there for the duration of the gala. Sorry.

What have I missed, then?

Just this riveting speech about parking, so it is, I'm sure.

What about backstage security?

Backstage, sir?

That's in Mr Crawford's hands.

Who's that? He will, of course, be putting up barriers. This is to shut

He manages the valley guards, sir.

And there will be... The gorilla leaning on all his kelp is Aida.

Bit heavy duty, aren't they, for a Nottingham charity gala?

International cultural exchange, Ken. That's what it's all about, mate.

If you say so, Harry.

Are there any further questions?

Thank you.

Harry?

Put my mind at rest. Would you put a couple of guys in the stage door?

My kids are arriving about 20 after 7.

Oh, no problem.

And I'd like the wannabes kept well back.

Yes, certainly, certainly.

Ken, Ken, would you... Yes, I'll sort that out for you, Mr. Crawford.

There you are, Mr. Eckford. Now sooner said than done.

Anything else, just give me a bell.

Five minutes, okay? We leave without you.

Of course, parked outside.

Sorry, mate.

Sorry. What are you, blind or stupid?

I was just a mile away.

You all right, love?

Sure.

Yes? Really.

Well, don't forget to lock up, will you, before you go?

Your security?

For my agency.

I met your boss earlier.

Harry.

My partner, actually.

Oh, sorry.

It's all right.

He's in charge of security.

I'm in charge of investigations, Ken Boone.

Jan Meltzer.

That's really interesting.

Yeah, at its moment.

You're shot by my feet.

Oh. You don't feel the pain, not when you're dancing.

You'd never get anywhere if you did.

Don't come out suffering for your art, eh?

Excuse me.

Come on, sweetheart, the car's waiting. I'm ready.

Well, I don't want you to miss your nap. We've got a long night ahead of us.

See you tonight, then?

Yeah.

That'd be great.

No -one else in Nottingham want to defend Red Rodney.

They're for the Italian lady opera singer. They expect it, don't they?

gorgeous. Yeah, very.

Take them round to the stage door, will you? Certainly, sir.

Any message?

What?

No message.

Give you my regards when you see him, won't you?

Oh, Sir Malcolm, Lady Elizabeth.

Very nice to see you. Crawford, not seen you at one of these bashes before?

Well, it's all in a good cause.

More Elizabeth's seen than mine.

It's a bit sudden, isn't it? Harry Crawford, patron of the arts.

There you go, Rocky.

Just don't fiddle with it.

Well, he's a man of vision, isn't he? I mean, most people looking at this

building could envisage a concert hall, library, art gallery, but Harry, he sees

a big building needing a big security contract.

I can't deal with it anymore.

Relax. You're just a little bit wired. Of course I'm wired.

Eckford's bad enough.

But now there's this new guy Kelp.

I can't go on like this, Peter.

In 20 minutes, it's all going to be over. No, it won't.

It won't ever be over.

What do you think?

What's the most important thing in the world?

You and me being together.

And it's going to stay that way, right?

Miss Meltzer, Mr.

Sorenu, your call, please.

This is your call, Miss Meltzer, Mr. Sorenu. Okay, listen, I'll tell you

I'll talk to Eckford later, and I'll tell him that you thought maybe we could

have a break.

Okay. Yeah?

Let's go for it. Now, there you go.

I know my clients, sir, and I'm sure there won't be a problem.

No, no, no, that won't be necessary.

Sure, sure.

Sorry, Mike.

Yeah, I'll be in touch.

Oh, I appreciate that.

But I'm not going to let you down.

please. This is your call, Ms.

Montanini.

Hey, that was terrific.

You enjoyed it? Yeah, I really did.

Thanks.

Tomorrow it's going to kill.

Right now I don't feel anything.

Beautiful, beautiful. That was wonderful, sweetheart.

Could I have a word?

No, actually, I think there's something that we need to talk about. Well, not

right at the moment, Peter.

No, but I'm serious. No, I need to be alone with Jan just for a minute. Take a

shower. We won't be long.

Come on.

As far as I can see, Jan, you don't really have much choice.

Why don't we turn this off?

I have your best interests at heart. You do realize that?

You always know where I am if you want to run over any of the details, but I

know you're going to give a fine performance.

Now, why don't you get some rest?

I don't want this to spoil the party for you.

Oh, yes, wasn't she wonderful? Quite magnificent.

Almost as moving as Montserrat Caballé. Wouldn't you say so, darling?

I wish we could mingle.

What, with this lot?

What will we talk about, eh?

Not on bike, but among them.

We're crazy.

No, I'm not.

You tell me what we've got to lose.

We don't have any choice.

Excuse me.

It does no good to spoil me like that.

Thank you.

No, no, no, you deserved it.

You were quite magnificent.

Montserrat Cabaret couldn't hold a candle to you.

Well, you're allowed some champagne now, I take it. Oh, only in abundance.

Of course, we've been to the States, oh, it must be a dozen times.

Now, the last time was, let me get it right, 1976.

That was in your bicentennial, whatchamacallit. It was very

one. It's not good.

Here, hold this.

I've got to do something about my shoes.

They're killing me.

Well,

Mr Mayor.

Oh, I'm very pleased to meet you.

You were fantastic.

You work for Mr Boone, don't you?

Yeah.

Look, I know this sounds crazy, but Peter and I, we desperately

need your help.

Come on, Ken, we've got to do something.

They're desperate.

Look, there's got to be a way of getting them out.

We are supposed to be looking after them, Laura.

Exactly.

What do you want me to do?

There's people leaving already.

Look, there's got to be a way of keeping them here.

All right, just a hunch.

Perhaps Harry's roses will come in useful after all.

Look,

if I told you it was for Jan and Peter...

What are you up to?

I need to distract Kelp and Eckford.

Channel Peter feel they're in danger and I've got to help them.

I mean, we've got to help them.

I hope you know what you're doing.

You'll do it.

Let me go and talk with the piano player.

Lady Elizabeth, can I introduce you to Mr Eckford, Jan and Peter's manager?

Lady Elizabeth is the chairman of the Heart of England Arts Festival Society.

Lady Elizabeth?

My dear, they were simply marvellous.

She's going to do it. Right.

Does everybody else know what they're doing? Ready when you are.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Ladies and gentlemen, could I have your attention for a moment, please?

Now, in order to round off what has been an extremely uplifting evening's

entertainment, could I ask you please to gather round for one final performance

from the extremely talented Enrica Montanini, who has agreed to give us one

number. Ladies and gentlemen, please.

Good evening.

Well?

Poor thing, she's worn out.

Peter's trying to get her to sleep and he said, do you mind if we talk in the

morning? Great, having got them away from those gorillas, eh? What am I

to do now?

I think they're just worn out, Ken.

Maybe Harry knows someone, a lawyer or something?

He doesn't know that kind of lawyer.

This is not Hollywood, you know.

Presumably they want me to help them.

I don't think they know anyone else.

Terrific.

But surely if you can't stand it with Eckford anymore, just get yourself a

really good lawyer.

He has the contract so tight.

There's no point.

Doesn't mean he owns you, you know.

No, but it does, Mr Boone.

He's a powerful man.

Takes a lot of hard work to get this far. If we try to leave him now...

He could ruin us.

Yeah, well, surely it's worth a try, eh? If you're desperate.

I just know it wouldn't work.

I need some time to get away from him, Mr Boone. I need some time to sort

out.

Look, Jan, if there's something you're not telling me, I think you ought, if

want my help.

I may not know nothing about contracts, ballet, managers and all that, but I did

see the way those monkeys steamed into you two.

It's Peter.

Eckford's got things on him. If we were to... Leave it, Jan.

I don't need to hear about that.

Peter, they helped us.

The least we can do is give them an explanation.

Peter got into trouble when he was younger, before he started dancing.

What sort of trouble?

Drugs and stuff.

It wasn't such a big deal.

We didn't think it mattered anymore.

But Eckford knows.

Mr. Boone, if we don't do what he wants...

Is this true?

This, of course, is the great Benjamin Ogimie.

The lovely Giulietta Simonato.

Itogobi. And who is that one over there?

Ah.

It was taken only ten years ago. I can't have changed that much.

Oh, it could have been taken yesterday.

So,

when are you due to fly back?

My plane goes in ten minutes.

Well,

sometimes I don't want to do what I am supposed to do.

If you don't slow down sometimes, you miss out on what life has to offer.

What about you?

No work today?

I reckon the place can run itself at once.

Yeah.

Cappuccino. Pasty.

Yeah, sounds great.

Oh, look, this is silly.

I mean, you can have this sort of stuff at home in Italy any time.

You should sample good English fare.

But I don't know where to go in Nottingham.

There's no fun on your own, anyway.

But there must be someone who can help.

There's only that much I can do.

Haven't you got any friends living over here?

There is someone, but I don't know if you could find him.

My uncle Tony.

I thought you lost touch.

He fell out with my mother a while back.

Then he moved over here.

If you could find him, I know he'd help.

But you don't know where he lives?

No, but he keeps in touch through a friend of the family, a priest, Father

Blenheim. You know his address?

I don't know that either.

A priest.

Well, shouldn't be too difficult to find.

I want to see exactly where Robin and Marianne live.

Well, I don't think they know exactly.

You know. Then we must use our imagination.

Here.

They used to lie here, on the moss, in each other's arms.

Don't you think so?

Oh, no, no, no.

Sometimes I wish these dumb things had never been invented.

Yes, Crawford speaking.

Oh, Mr. Eckford.

Harry, I've got a little problem, but I figure...

The other guy could help me out.

Yeah, well, I've tried the Catholic directory now.

Well, maybe he's moved recently, eh?

Blenheim. Father Blenheim.

OK, I'll hold on.

Cheers.

Yeah, I'm still... How many?

Harry, I think this place is charming.

It's one way of putting it, I suppose.

I always think you can tell a lot about people from the places they go.

I hope everything is going to turn out all right for those two.

Oh, yeah, yeah, it'll be fine.

Yeah, Ken will sort it out.

He likes to help people, your friend.

Well, yes, he does make a bit of a habit of it, yeah.

A sort of...

modern -day Robin Hood.

No? I never thought of it like that, but now you come to mention it, yeah.

Can you look? I think so.

I hope so, Ken, because that Eckford is a very nasty piece of work, you know.

Yeah, our only hope is that girl's uncle.

And I think I've managed to track down the priests.

What time is it?

About half -four.

There's nothing we can do, Jan, so why don't you just relax?

Come on, sit down.

Why doesn't he phone or something?

He'll phone as soon as he gets something definite.

He's good like that, Ken.

I'm sorry.

I'm being a pain.

You're right.

There's no point in worrying.

So what's the story?

Bless you, Mrs. Claver.

I know Tony's always been very fond of Jan. Well, she's a really nice girl.

I think she needs him.

They're terrible things, family arguments.

My job would be a lot easier without them.

I don't see why she should suffer as a result.

My friends run a theological college not far from here.

I've got him a job in the garden for the time being.

You should find him there.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

No wife tucked away anywhere?

No. Well, an ex.

She's in Spain.

She ran off with a hairdresser.

Oh, a woman of little judgment, evidently.

And no little Harry?

No.

No.

Never got round to it.

And then it was tear light.

Oh, me too.

Four husbands and no children to show for it.

International opera does not make for a stable life.

Well, it must make for an interesting one.

Oh, yes.

You never know where you will wake up from one day to the next.

Hi. Mr. Marciotta.

For God's sake.

Don't shoot.

Listen, Mr. Margie Otter, or whatever your name is, I'm losing patience. I

like being taken for a hitman.

I've told you.

I get nervous with strangers, all right?

You expect me to believe that?

Like I've said, I've made a few enemies.

The wrong kind of enemies.

Yeah, the kind who go around shooting people, eh?

I'm talking to you. The kind of people who go around killing people.

Yeah, that kind.

You know Eckford, don't you?

Is that who you're running away from?

Let's just say there are certain people who'd be happy to see me dead.

I think you ought to tell me why.

Here you go, Rocky.

Why hasn't he phoned?

You said he'd phone.

Maybe he just ran out of 10p.

Or maybe something's happened to him. No, don't be silly. Come on, now.

Nothing's happened to him.

Maybe he just can't get through a call box, right?

Yeah, right.

Look, I don't know about you, but I'm starving. How about we go and get a

takeaway, eh?

Yeah, I'd like to go home and get changed. We could bring back some fish

chips with us.

Sounds like a good idea.

Let's go.

It was an export business, Mr. Boone.

We ran it for the benefit of the feds.

I've known Mo since we was kids. We ran it together.

From the outside, it looked legitimate.

They'd bring the stuff in at night.

We'd lose it on the outgoing loads, call certain people, the same people that

are leaning on Eckford, and they'd pick it up inland.

A little while back, the load started turning up light.

I didn't think much about it.

I certainly didn't suspect Moe.

Like I said, I've known him a long time.

One night, Moe's down at the docks to make a pickup, and I'm waiting for his

call.

When it finally came, he sounded really nervous.

There was no sign of the stuff.

I told him to hang on till I got down there.

When I found him, he was still alive, but only just.

He died in my arms.

They must have tortured him to make that call.

That was their warning to me.

Is that why you came over here?

Mo and I were really close, like brothers.

So I turned them in.

What about Jane?

Eckford's got connections with these people.

They're calling in a favor.

I think he must be using her to smoke me out.

If she doesn't cooperate, she could be in real danger.

Now, listen.

Are you prepared to help, huh?

Any way I can.

Come on, Jan.

Lighten up.

Please.

Can I find him? You'll see. Just be patient.

Anyway, we sleep here.

You don't understand.

Yes, I do. Of course I do. You don't.

You don't know what I've done.

Egbert isn't interested in us at all.

He's using us.

Using us for what, Jan?

He wants to get Uncle Tony through me.

Arrange to meet him someplace.

So they can... So they can what?

Jan?

That's why Calp's here, isn't it? It isn't that simple.

I wasn't given much choice. Oh, I don't believe I'm hearing this. They did it

for you, Peter.

They said they'd make trouble.

Ruin you because of the past. Ruin us. Yeah, well, then why the hell didn't you

tell me any of this before?

That's why you were so anxious for Mr. Boone to find him, wasn't it?

I thought if we could get away from them.

Warn Uncle Tony. Oh, for God's sake, Janet, how could you be so dumb?

I was frightened, Peter.

I don't want them to hurt him.

But I don't want them to hurt you.

Hey, come on.

Hey.

Listen.

That'll be Rocky and Laura. Now, don't mention any of this to them now, okay?

We'll talk to Mr. Boone when he gets back.

I hope you're refreshed after your little vacation.

Only there's a lot of work to do after your performance last night.

Jan.

Jan, where are your manners?

Aren't you going to write a thank you note to Mr. Boone?

You have really enjoyed this evening.

Yeah, me too.

Good food, good wine, good company.

There is not much more a girl could ask for.

Do you think I should have got some curry sauce?

To be honest, I don't think there's going to be all that interest in food at

moment. Yeah, well, some people can't eat chips without curry sauce.

Jan! Peter!

What is it, Rocky?

Well, I don't believe a word of it, do you?

Not for a minute. They would have forced her to write it to keep you at bay.

We shouldn't have left them alone.

Oh, it was my fault.

Hey, don't blame yourselves.

It's probably lucky for you that you weren't there.

Yeah, which one do you think we'll get?

Uh, this would be it.

Look, if I can find Barnab, Lenham, so can they.

We've got to move fast.

Where do you suppose it's taken them?

Well, it says they went back to the hotel.

Worth a try.

How I see it is we've got to get those two on their own. The question is how.

What are you looking at me for?

Well,

Jan, I hope you haven't done anything stupid.

I mean really stupid, like try and get a message to Uncle Tony.

No, I swear.

I just wanted to get away.

Well, lucky for us, you didn't get too far.

We just lost a little time.

So, after breakfast, we'll take a little drive and you can give that speech we

rehearsed.

I can't go through with it.

I think you can, sweetheart.

If I had known what Nottingham had to offer, I would have arranged to stay

longer.

But as I explained, my life does not always allow me to do just as I

want.

Until the next time, Harry.

Ciao.

Enrique.

I can.

Listen, mate, I need your help. This Eckford bloke's got Jan and Peter at the

hotel. I've got to distract him.

Mr. Eckford, there's a Mr.

Crawford to see you at reception.

Order breakfast.

This one will take a while.

Well, I must say, it's very good of you to take it all like that.

Well, don't mention it. They're back safe and sound now.

I mean, it's a bit embarrassing.

Because I've had to have very severe words... Consider the matter closed.

I mean, to be fair to them, I mean, they thought they were acting in Janet

Peter's best interest, you see. I mean, they got some silly idea into their head

that Janet Peter weren't free to come and go as they like.

Janet Peter have complete freedom, I can assure you.

So far, so good.

Yeah, that's right, sweetheart, Chicago.

Sure, I'll hold.

Oh, here.

You'll need one of these.

Thanks.

Oh! Leave him alone!

Shut up.

Well, well.

Looks like our would -be Robin Hood's played right into our hands.

She's going to meet her Uncle Tony at some crazy theme park in town.

Well, sweetheart, we're going to be right behind you.

Wait, Jen. Let's not talk here.

Come on.

The main story is about to take place.

The story is about to begin.

I'll get him in the

car when it goes around.

Nobody will hear a sound in here.

Come on, baby. Come on. That's the right one.

Damn.

Okay, it's time.

I'm so frightened.

I didn't think I'd ever see you again.

Shh.

It's all over now.

Hey, you were very brave.

No, I wasn't.

I wasn't at all.

Yes, you were.

Hey, come on.

Stop crying.

We got a lot to talk about.

Listen, thanks for what you did back there.

You know they can still make your life difficult, don't you? Yeah, I know.

But they're safe, and that's got to be the important thing, right?

What are you going to do?

Get another manager, I guess.

Good luck.

No,

it wasn't like that.

Peter managed to tell me it was a set -up just before we got here.

That's a good thing, too, huh? Who knows what she would have done to Kelp and

Eckford.

Oh,

Ken. Oh, she's off again.

She's been through a lot, Harry.

It's these theatrical types, Ken.

You never know where you are with them.
