FOR THEM THAT TRESPASS

Subtitles by Seglora

Oh,look.They printed it.

What,dear?

My poem.In the Morning Post

It looks like much better than in Christie's writing.Doesn't it?

This is a solemn moment,Mrs Drew. The golden moment in a writer's life

The moment when he sees his name in print for the first time

His foot in on the lowest ground

The ladder stretches up above him,up and up to untold heights

Well,Christie,can you scale it,you think?

I heard that,decent try,Sir

I can write,I know I can, Cochrane said I could

Charles Cochrane?

I send him my play to read.He asked me to go to see him at the theatre

Is he going to do it?

No

He said that one day he might be very glad to do a play of mine

but at the moment I haven't discovered pain and power

passion

Life hadn't hit me with its full glory and sordidness

in short my play had not got harsh

I am utterly convinced and so is your mother

that great things will come to you in time

I am equally convinced that what you need at present is a bread and butter job

There never was an author born into this world who didn't had to eat

As your lead father's dearest friend I should like to put a proposition to you

May I visit you?

Yes,Vicar,please

I need a secretary,if you think you care to fill the post

I promise I would wink of any lyric poetry mistakenly inserted in my sermon notes

Thank You ,Sir

That's wonderful.I always dreaded working in the bank

The vicar's secretary,they have splendid,

and if you find that you are not clever enough to be a writer

you could always be a clergyman

Hello,Christie,how is the play?

I'm stuck

Rotten luck

What's wrong? Is the vicar smothering your muse?

No,not Pevency,vicar.Not his fault.Mine

I need experience,experience of life

It's bad for writers to be sheltered,Robert

Look at Swinburne,Villon,Kit Marlowe

roaring and singing around the taverns of cheap-side,living,seeing and writing

He had heart,all right

Say,you're ambitious

Shut up,I'm talking French, you wouldn't understand

A farmer would,its filth that fertilize then rejuvenates the earth

Lenten,Sir

It isn't pretty is it Bob?

It's beauty there, if you can see it

Do you ever read Kit Marlowe?

No

Would he,and Shakespeare for that matter,

had become the greatest poets and dramatists the world have ever known

if they hadn't seen life

I don't believe they would

Life doesn't come to you,you have to go out and look for it

A beer please

Bitter or ale,Dear

Bitter,please

That'll be four pence,Dear

Oh,very sorry,my love you aren't sure

Condessa

Stop it Herbie

You make him stop his legs

Herb,you can't take any liberty with Frankie now, you know

And when you was doing time she got herself mixed up with something posh

Jim,you,since when is a real woman,being posh

"How much,Mark.In a hurry, Bee,still there is plenty in the till"

"Because the Copsy spent the brass from his last job,now are getting mad"

His glory they just want the dog

And dug it up,when he come out, just like another dog

Oh,it's not worth it

I wouldn't know

Cops would always come out on top

Just says you,meet me here in three weeks time,and say that again

Hello,another job?

Give it a rest,makes you being here for half an hour

Where is it this time?

-Bank of England? -Glasgow

-And if we get the stuff.. -You get 5 years

Ah,mark it,it's essential,it can't go wrong

Who is in?

You know it is,his name is Jocko,he is a Scot,he is coming here tonight

Don't ask everyone to do a job

And picked his pals,we,I am hand picked,see

Oh,you'd liked it to be

Boy,will you would need it

Go out and play,I want to talk to Herbie

All right.,I was going anyway,it's my round

Don't do it,it's barmy

when every cop in England, saw a picture in Exeter Star

So what? If I get another stretch. What's that to you?

I would be in for 6 months,I come out Yeah,Frankie are you stuck on Jim?

He is stuck on me,more around, he wants to marry me

What's wrong with stuck on him too

Scared me Ida,as she was dead scared of Jim

I'm scared of him myself

That's why I've got to lay off with you

That waxes me

That fat over there,the one with the moon face and double chin

Ask her if she is stuck on Jim

I'll take her to the hospital

Yes.Chuck Jim.You got me back now

For how long? You go straight and I'll come back to you

You will have me in the Salvation Army,next.Oh,Frankie,it is not so easy

I've done it

That's rich,steady, you straight? Ha,ha,ha

Go on laugh.If I weren't Molly, and Monique,I may not be so good,I am on it

All right,all right

I'm not ashamed of anything I've done, sorry for nothing,Frankie,that's me

I'm sorry for nothing,Herb,that's me

It's Jocko.I must hop it

Steady,Herbie

So long

Lend us a dollar to next month

Now Chris,sorry Jocko just a friend

All right.We'll go somewhere where you haven't any friends.Come on

Don't see where you are going?

Sorry

Come on.It is still there.And it isn't milk

May I get you another?

The Dame would be charmed I'm sure

You keep your mouth out of it, or it will be mopped,sweetie

You great stark lump of nothing

Say

And,who asked you to interrupt two ladies conversation

Making troubles between friends

Getting familiar right?

You wait until Gilliard about this

Frankie,she is not worth it

You get out of it and don't interfere

You are part wet pigeon

You laughing great filth

You harassed me..

Be naughty now,has your mouth out

Now Frankie,turning ginger

Look at those

Here to my love,Frankie

You yellow headed something

Ay,ay,thought that,queens very rude

Stretch on

Get me free,great boy,I am a lady. This is a free country

Just let me get her,just let me get her

No,no.Please

Haven't you done enough of getting drinks and all

I did apologize,you know

That's right

You are welcome to buy another one,wasn't you?

-I was yes -Give me that to me

No,please don't bother

OK.How about that drink?

I got it.Drinks is clearly indicated

Clearly indicated? You do talk funny

What's your name?

Kit

-Kit -Kit what?

-Kit Marlowe -Kit Marlowe

That's nice.My thing

Thank you

Here is the Oakley Arms

-Come on -No.Let's go to somewhere quiet

The same to me

I live over there

120 Croyber Square

Lovely isn't it? Do you live somewhere posh as well?

I live in Serram Hill

No wonder you talk nice

Gentleman of leisure,right?

No.I am a Vicar...I write

What do you do?

I work at the Station Buffet

You're happy?

All I can grumble.

Anyone on in service taking out the morning tea

to some old trout who lays in bed all day

When I take out morning tea I take it to myself

Some not,sorry,Kit.Sorry over nothing Frankie.That's me

Don't worry.My landlady puts herself to sleep at nights with gin

Well,sit down.Seats are free

Don't be shy

You've been much with girls like me,have you?

I'm easy,see?

Just what I look like.Not like those inscrutable you writers write about

You make a living writing?

No.Not yet.I am going to.I've had a poem published

Go on.Read it to me

-You want to hear it -Yes,I'd like to

It's called Sunset

So bowed old Ben with heavy feet and slow towards..

Carry on

towards the splendor of the setting sun

your poor unworldly piece of day work done there by the shadows of verode you go

wind is quiet and the evening still and the roads so leveled

that the younger feet sound brisk and lively on the hard paved street

Yet you walked as though you climbed a hill

Go on

It's all

Sympathize

You'd like to keep it?

Yes.I'll put it somewhere safe

Fancy you writing all them funny things

I'll keep my treasures behind the grate and I won't forget where I put them

You'll go far.I can see that

I'll take it up and read it when I am old and you're famous

I can't see you old

That's nice of you

Jim says that too.In that certain way you do

Jim?

My man.He is a fireman

He's the chap that chokes the fire,not the kind that puts them out

He is on the Mersey Land Express, 6 10 from Euston

Does he know..

That I ask my friends in for a drink,of course he don't

Jim knew you was here he do me good and proper

Don't buy much to make him better though,

He is a kind of likes it,for some that do

Hello.Cheer me

Jim is jealous,he has to have his own sweet way

There is no one worth a row of fins to Jim but him

The verve that goes them railway engines

couldn't they can go without the help of Mr Fireman,Jim,

He is the one that pulls the train, the engine only helps him

Come on,son, enjoy give over dreaming of the girl you left behind you

Stuff her up and she will go to the boil

Why not taking your friend back for a change

Hello Sam

Give up and walk out of that railwayman

And take someone up with a criminal fate

Men always say.Why not that with you. Nothing is too good for me

I guess that someone else has said

And so do I

And who are you?The King of Spain?

Good Night Your Majesty.Thank you.

You are not good to any girl who expects respectability to be around with you

Fancy a little bad seed just like your Lordship said you was

Say that again

Don't worry,you will hear it said again next for Friday

You shut your mouth or I'll do it for you

See that he is threatening,assault and battery,he is going to murder me,he is

Oh,I'm frightened.I am going home to mum

Now what you done,murder me

You drive a man to murder

-Hear,what's this about? -He is jealous

She doesn't belong to him

Ah,stow it you all!

You there,cool down,old mate!

They are silly those gentlemen

It's pity they don't teach manner in this class..

She is saucy to put that frankly

Shut up about the Frankie

Whose that?

It's me

I just come to say that I am sorry

You have no cause to talk to me like that

Look at what you have done to my skirt

I lost my temper, Frankie

Never see you these days

and now the night I'm leaving you are leading this path again

Yes.Let's forget about him. Let be lovers as we used to be,hey!

All right.Who is he anyway?

He comes from Serram Hill

And Herb,he treats me like a lady

Hold my arms in the street, walks on the outside

So he will grow out of that

How old is he?

About twenty he is clever then about thirty

I shall get him pushed

And Herb,he calls me White Swan

Is he goofy?

His white swan

Love a duckie must be daft

What's his name?

Oh,come on

-It's Kit -Kit what?

Kit Marlowe

Satisfied?

There's an amount of tea who belongs Brago OK

I know

Hey,Frankie,just in case keep this up warm for us

I'll put it behind the grate

That's just over a couple of hundred quid

I harp it

That's the matter with Jocko who done it

I've a secret hiding place

Sure.I leave my assignment

Herb

Don't do nothing silly

I don't you to worry as soft as butter and as fat

I'll come back rich,maybe rich enough to have a go at going straight

Come on Frankie.Give us a kiss

Well,so long

-Wish me luck -Good Luck Herbie

Frankie!

I've got some beer on my dress,service fault

That's was him just now,come to apologize

What's beaten you? You got a poem on your mind?

You know you are strange

Somehow there is two of you,one that say,Frankie you are wrong

another one say, Frankie, I like rotten girls

Not rotten.Rotten is mean, vicious,greedy

and above that you are gay and generous,lovely

That's nice

It just departed in some guys here we catch in Liverpool

And crawling into the pubs in Scotland Row

Sorry said Leaky,I am not going all around this evening

evening is no work in my days bill when the stuff is waiting out for you

Keep smiling

Off we go

You'll get your London train in time to see you smoking out with the girl

Come on,hurry up Sunshine

Or you never catch that lodger of yours

Signing it off at 11 20

Well we didn't make it in time for the Old Swan,still you are too young

for public eyes,wait to get to my age

then perhaps you could say be inside "de lemonade"

So long,sunny Jim

Quiet now the train has stopped

Isn't it

Sometimes I wish it wasn't

Makes me frightened

Frankie

Let me in

I'm coming just a second

Come on open that door or I batter it in

That way

-Will you be all right? -Quick

You've been with Herb

No,Jim,I haven't

I heard the windows

What's that?

Going sun bathing?

I was just getting into bed

Being seeing double too,hey!

Oh,no,I wished

No,we'll see

You're a liar!

Coming here and I'm still in Liverpool

I told you to lay off with Herbie, I come right back here and catch him

Now I'm going to make sure you too lay off with Herbie

Coming

-Who is it? -Jim

I've come to stay for keeps

What are you staring at?

What's the matter with you?

Nothing

Give me a drink,I'm dumb

Yes,Jim

I saw Frankie in the pub tonight

With Herb.They had quite a tryst

I haven't seen Frankie,I'm straight here

I left the railway depot and straight to you

Christie,dear,you were late in last night

Not so very late ,mother

Here is the check for my poems for the Morning Post

I hope you're going to save it,dear

No you have it mother. Please I like you to.My first

How sweet of you

And lots more,wait until I have done the play

You will never finish a new one with this rate

It isn't the new one, it is the earlier steps

I'm rewriting it

Thank you,Mother

Sorry for nothing,Frankie,that's me

I've never done it.I must shrug off

Kit Marlowe has done it

The couple was meeting after I left

Can or Can? I can't find that you didn't it yet

But I'm not a police . Your records not so good

But I have an alibi,I've been with you

I can't again,then,I know the police

Think my records not so good either

I'm thinking when you say that you came up to Glasgow

the very night the lassie was murdered, and you say you came to do a job with me

I'm thinking the police maybe will they understand

The one I'm thinking of anyway, we cannot do this job now

Jocko.If I had done her in I would take all my brass now,wouldn't I?

Can and Can.I am no policeman, I keep telling you

The police would say

that you have done it for the money, than lost your nerve and left without it

The police

They got a daft and crazy way of thinking, laddie

I tell them just what happened

They won't believe you

They don't trust our fellowmen.

I doubt them have a pretty accurate description of your clothing

Maybe I can fix you up and a with a mustache maybe

Thanks

I'll go back to London

and lay of some of the clothes in the river where the cops will never see them

London is big enough to hide me in,Jocko

The world is not so small you know

I know London.London is big

London is big,best you go to Hampton park

Latest about the murder

Excuse me Miss

This shop is shut

Heartless.Have a heart

I'm sorry I'm not working overtime.I got to be home

You're the lucky one,Miss, I've not got a home

Pardon me,could you fix me up?

It'll cost you a tenner if I do

That won't break my heart

Not particular?

No.Not foresee.I can't afford to be

Try

Jackson 17 Ship Lane

Thanks Miss.Here's your tenner

Give it to me tomorrow.

If you are suited

Thank you, Miss

Good Night

Good Evening Miss

I am sorry but..

Sharp shot.Your tenner,Miss.Thank you

So you got fixed up all right?

Sure I told you I wasn't fussy

-Fag? -I don't smoke

Are you doing anything tonight?

Got my tea at home

Tell me,Miss,what's your name

It's Rosie

Rosie?

Why not me when you had your tea?

What you're shy?

Maybe I got another fellow meeting me

I'll chuck him up

Didn't say I had

We would have a drink or two

I don't drink,thank you

What about a little walk?

-I don't.. -I don't walk,thank you

Walk? Where to?

That's up to you.I'm not particular

"Read about the murder,read all about it"

You haven't told me what your name is yet

Jack

"and forgive us our trespasses,as we forgive them their trespass against us"

"and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil,Amen"

How is your boy friend Rosie?

Fine

Tell us about him

Ask no questions,Dave,and you hear no lies

What's the matter?

Why don't you let us meet him?

Aren't we good enough for your Mr Jack?

Come on Dave I'm hungry

All right,Nicola,I fill you full of eclairs

-Coming Rosie? -No,I'm meeting Jack

Why not bring his high mighty ship along

We don't like eclairs

"Reward for the capture of Herbert Logan" read all about it

I thought you were never coming

I'm sorry

I was kept late at the shop

Mrs Jackson came in and told me that you have moved

I had to get a place nearer my work

You are not in trouble are you?

I got something I must tell you

Can you take it?

All depends,Jack

It won't make any difference for us,would it?

Of course it won't

First of all my name is not Jack

It's Herb

That don't make you,Jack..Herb

Look

Don't you read the papers?

Not much.Except the picture ones

Did you never hear about a murder?

Down in Croyber Square

Yes.Dave and Grace talk about it quite a bit

Good riddance to her Dave said

She wasn't all that bad

You knew her?

Yes,and they got me lined up for that job

You didn't do it Herb

I never did.I swear I never did.A fellow called Kit Marlove had done it

Please believe that.Please

What's the use of telling me you didn't it

don't you realize every minute you hide away make it so much worse

Well if I give myself up what happens?

Can't you see?

They got a victim, as long as someone swings,who cares

If they’ll do,it won't be me

I'll stay out

I got to find this Marlowe, he's the one,I got to find him

Herb,I'm so afraid for you

I told you,just between the two of us, because I couldn't keep it to myself

If that come all to it,nor could I

All right Grace saved you from a power of trouble

That's right Dave ,consulted where I could

You never should have done

Now listen, I've been looking up the law,see

"even if you given no assistance to a person who has committed a felony

anyone who knows of his guilt

commits an offence if they don't communicate the information"

He swears he didn't do it

And did you ever seen the man who didn't swear he didn't do it?

(Grace) That's right

You know what you are doing,Rosie,don't you?

Keeping information from the police,accessory they call it

And in the case of murder you could get penal servitude for life

It isn't true

Oh,yes it is true all right

I've got it all here in black and white

Thanks Nicholas Come scar..a trich(intent italian)

Thanks,grazie,grazie

Grazie.That's italian for thank you

-Now look Rosie -Now listen

That fellow never should have told you

As he has you got to go to the police

But do you really would think he would have told me if he had done it?

I couldn't tell the police not now that they have passed this reward

Hundred quid,I haven't got it,doesn't do

to look a gift horse in the mouth they say

But he trusts me

Dave

Beside

Been so sweet to me

I wouldn't call it sweet to put you in a spot like this I call it downright criminal

Besides he might do it again

Or you know he's working to have a go at you

Or anyone

You owe it to society,that's what I say

Y-o-u o-w-e i-t t-o s-o-c-i-e-t-ty

Gracie,what am I to do

You leave it to me

When are you meeting him again?

Afternoon

What time?

At two

Where Rosie?

Where?

In a church yard,Newington

That's fine

Hello

Don't you look a treat

Hello

I tell you something

I think I'm getting sweet on you

Rosie,give us a kiss

No,Herb,not here there is people everywhere

They are not going to kiss you,only me

What's that?

Why so ladylike?

Let us sit down Herb

-I'm tired -What.Tired already?

Crikey.We haven't even started yet

Have you ever seen Crystal Palace?

Yes

Would you like to have another squiz of it? Come on

Let's go on the top of a bus and catch the sun

I love the sunshine. Makes me wonder how wrong

all the songs I ever heard till I bussed myself

"Oh all Rosies in London is a wonderful sight"

Don't worry.The police have forgotten all about me

Yes.Yes they have.Let's go. Let's go now quickly

You're Herbert Logan? I have a warrant

Come and get who has done it?

Honestly I know his name

That's fine

You are going to be a little gentleman and come along with us?

Please.I'll come

Let me say good-bye to her?

She's been really nice to me

All right

But get it move on,there is a car waiting

Well Rosie

Look so the outing is off after all

Here

Why don't do the Crystal Palace trip on me?

-No,Herbie,wouldn't be -All right

We'll do it when I have cleared myself,it won't take long

Say this day next week, same time same place

-All right? -Yes,Herb

Well,good-bye for now

Nice working it,thanks

Herb,I..

All right,come along Logan

Anything that matters?

-No.Thank You Officer -Good night ,Sir

And now Mr Heal,can you tell us of any other men

than the prisoner whom you knew to be acquaintances of Frances Ketchen?

No,Sir

Did you ever hear the deceased speak

of her alleged midnight visitor,Kit Marlowe?

No,Sir,never.

Never.Thank you

After you have signed off at the railway depot

why didn't you turn your steps towards the house in Craven Square?

Because,Sir, I thought her bloke would be there

And why did you think that?

Well,Sir,I knew he had a round with her when my back was turned

Thank you,Mr Heal

No questions,My Lord

Call for John Craigie Glenn

I swear by Almighty God,that the evidence I shall give

shall be the truth,the whole truth and nothing but the truth

Your name is John Craigie Glenn?

That's right

Or Jocko to your friends?

I,you can call me that rather,I never mind

Very friendly of you,thank you

And now,Mr Glenn,

will you tell the court if Herbert Logan came to Glasgow on the night in question?

I,he did

And will you tell us why?

He came to do a job with me

A burglary to put it bluntly

Put it to the hear what you like i,Sir, I don't mind

And you came forward as a witness,

even though you are a burglar, self confessed?

Will you tell us why?

Because I am not a man to save my skin by letting a laddie swing for somebody else

Just because you english policemen don't do that job

I find the witness's comment on the police superfluous

I believe in that

Now,Mr Glenn,is Logan not a friend of yours?

Ay,he's a decent one

And every word he said in here has been Gospel truth

May one ask precisely who it is that you know what he has been saying here?

I,you mean?

Then what is the answer Mr Glenn?

Perhaps I can provide the answer for you,

the answer is that you both agreed upon the story you would tell in court

Ay,that's right.Unless emergency we would both agree to tell the truth

One final question ,Mr Glenn,am I not right in thinking

that at least on one occasion,if not more,

you have been convicted in the past of perjury?

Maybe I have,but not this time

Regrettably I cannot share your confidence

I tell you the the truth and nothing but the truth,so help me God

Thank you

Have you been in at it? We had a pint together many times

but as I tell his blooming Lordship,

if ever I see a man look murderer, that was Herb that night

Oh,Frankie you would have laughed to see her name in headlines,hey

I'll tell you something, Herb is for the drop

When that lawyer fellow get started on him he has not got a bin out

He is in a rot,sorry I'm telling you

Now,Logan,you admit

that when you told the police that you never visited the house that night

you lied.I put it to you that your statement that you went to Glasgow

to commit a burglary is false as well

No,Sir,it isn't

I put it to you that you murdered Frances Ketchen,that you panicked

that then by chance found your way on to a Glasgow train

No,Sir,I never killed her

You admit that you quarreled with her in the Public House that night?

Yes,Sir

Then presumably you went around

to found Ketchen's house and said "I am very sorry I was rude"

Yes,Sir,I did just that

Remarkably magnanimously of you wasn't it?

And then,no doubt, this non existent midnight visitor

this figment of your feeble mind,Kit Marlowe,

daft as he,draft in and murdered her

Yes,Sir

Kit Marlowe,Logan,was a poet of considerable genius,

who flourished in the days of Queen Elizabeth

and although,no doubt, his moral was in tune with those licentious time

one hardly thinks it likely his spirit would return to earth

to visit Frances Ketchen in a tenement in Lenten town

And yet without one single solemn shred of evidence,

that is what you are asking the jury to believe

That Frances Ketchen died from strangulation

at the hands of someone who doesn't exist

But he does exist,I swear, he does exist,Kit Marlowe does exist

Take him back

Mr Hall?

Yes,Sir Huntley

My Lord,members of the jury,

It is not for us to consider the possibility or even the probability

that Herbert Logan murdered Frances Ketchen

Our sole consideration must be whether on the evidence

the charge that Herbert Logan murdered Frances Ketchen has been proved

In my submission it has not

Herbert Edward Logan

Members of the jury,are you agreed upon your verdict?

We are

Do you find the prisoner Herbert Edward Logan

guilty or not guilty of the willful murder of Frances Ketchen?

Guilty

And that is the verdict of you all?

Yes

Prisoner at the bar you stand convicted of the crime of wilful murder

Have you anything to say

why the court should not give you judgment according to law?

No,I've never done it,I've never done it, on my oath I've never done it

No

Oh yeah,oh yeah,oh yeah

My Lord,the King's justices do strictly charging about all persons

to keep silence,while sentence of death is passing on the prisoner at the bar

upon paying of imprisonment, God Save the King

Herbert Edward Logan the jury of your countrymen have found you guilty of murder

The sentence of the Court is that you'll be taken from this place

to a lawful prison and thence to a place of execution

and that you 'll be there hanged by the neck until you be dead

And that your body be afterward buried

within the precinct of the prison in which you were last confined

before your execution

And may the Lord have mercy upon your soul

Amen

I should have seen that one

That makes us quit,say

Have you got anything to read?

Yes Sir,I can't see it taking it in though,Sir

I gather that you have not been sleeping too well

No Sir.That church clock keeps me awake

That girl of yours has called again. Do you still refuse to see her?

-Yes -I see

I'll tell her not to come here anymore

Did she send those?

Don't you like them?

Not if she

All right I'll see her then

God lad

Herbert

Is it lonely?

No.I've got company

Don't hate me Herb?

I don't hate you,that what makes it worse

But why did you do it Rosie?

Why?

Those people said,got scared

I know you didn't do it,I knew in the afternoon in that church yard

It was

Yes,I say it was.Still you got your hundred quid

I haven't touched it

I gave it all to your petition

You should have a kept a quid or two back for the reed

Herbert,don't.I knew it is all my fault

I love you

Cut it out.I can't stand it if you

Hear,take her out,take her away

Take her away

Whatever happen to us,I'll always love you

And although I did not kill Frances Ketchen

I was in her room which I described above

after Herbert Logan left that night to catch the Glasgow train

It's signed Kit Marlowe

Well I'm there?

It isn't evidence.The Home Secretary can't act on that

I'm afraid you're right

Because you've always be convinced that Logan didn't do it haven't you?

Yes,always

Still you had a too good a case

Why can't the fellow come forward?

They'll never do

Probably someone with a place in life to loose

How is that petition doing?

Fine

Well,that and this between them might carry some weight

Maybe

I never slept a wink last night

and when I did,I dreamt of Herb

I am awfully grub at all

Pity you're not off the beer

You turn it in,I only told the judge what I have seen

You ain't the only one that see things

I seen her one night before she was copped it,with a fellow

I mean it weren't Herbert Logan either

But you never told the police

I don't like publicity

Then we have to see a fellow swinging for a job he had never done

If I told the police it wouldn't help him then?

Might now with this

What's that then?

A petition,that's what,here,you sign, right here,Alistair Sams

-It's all right to put my mark? -Yeah

Come on boys,I want you to sign this petition for Herbie Logan

Come on over here

Logan,I've just received this communication from the Home Office

I read it to you

The Home Secretary has advised His Majesty

to commute to penal servitude for life

a sentence of death passed on Herbert Edward Logan

Hello Rosie

What's you going do do with the money,duck?

She's going to take me to Monte Carlo

Aren't you?

What's the matter Rosie?

You've been backing the horses and done it all

Logan's case saved,read all about it

Logan!

You can't keep me here,I'm innocent

Come on Logan,you only think you haven't done it

I've never done it,I'm innocent

Look here Herbert Logan,I won't punish you this time,if you don't behave yourself

I've never done it.I'm innocent

Will you be sensible

Sir,I'm innocent

It maybe so,or may not

In any case it is no concern of mine

My job is to find out to you that

even while you have done your fifteen years and your case comes up for review

you won't get out of here unless your conduct sheet is pretty clear

Right Sir

Prisoner,right turn

Straight back

This fellow Drew is worth watching, he writes poetry and prose

I'm going to the British public that it is a first class play

And then he is bound to be a flop

Hello Rosie.How are you keeping?

Fine

Did you get my letters?

Yes,Herb

It's no good,I'll never give you up

I do think it what is best for you

I love you.I know what is best for me. I do not want anything else

Now Chris,such a wonderful sense of breeze

What's the matter darling?

Mary,I want to marry you but

Well,but what?

I don't deserve such heavens

Perhaps you did

But I do

I always dreamed about a white house

What a marvelous green

You can see the whole of London

Let's call it High Grove

High Grove?

You really like it Mary?

Oh,I think it is wonderful

Logan,now it is up to you

You got any plans?

Yes,Sir.I'm going to prove that I'm innocent

You're a funny chap

you've been in here for fifteen years and never lost your faith

Good bye

And Good Luck

-Herb -Hello

I'd never think it was today

Just look at me

That's all I want to do

Rosie

Come on,Rosie,give us a kiss

Fifteen years

I've got my dinner on

I'll get you something too

Don't you like it?

I like it all right,

but my tummy make it sore taking all my prison meals in one

Ease it up,take your tummy by surprise

Herb,will you get a job,all right?

That is not so easy,prisoners don't take the mark inside,it's afterward

I've saved a bit but only pay me back when we get married

What? You wouldn't want to marry me?

Why not?

How would you like it?

There goes Rosie Logan,her old man is just out of prison for murder

It's not for what people say, what I know myself

Grand.That's what you are Rosie

Sorry.Logan,we've nothing for you,come again next week

I've heard that for a year and more.Look guv.

Since I come out I've only had one job and that didn't last

Until they got to know about me

I've wife and kiddie,they sacked her when the boss found out about me

You've got to give me something

Mr Logan,we are doing all we can,

but we've no power to make employers give you work

That's good.That's very good.

Your face is character,my friend, I'll paint you, come tomorrow

No,I'll paint you when the rusted leaves of autumn fall,come back 6 months from now

Excuse me,guv.But do you live here?

If any artist could be said to live,I do.Why?

Do you like the house?

I wouldn't say I liked it but I know it

Everybody does.For many years ago

a girl was foully done to devil by old Moor,that's why I live here,brother

There is nothing like a murder on the premises for keeping down the rent

Forgive me

I must return to work,remember when the first leaves fall,

you and I will give the world a masterpiece

Meantime I have a railway poster to complete,Good Bye,a railway poster

Herb,you must be soaked

Take off your coat and come up to the fire

Any luck?

How is the kid?

What's up with you,you've been crying

Is he worse?

They said this place should have been pulled down years ago

If we want Jack to get better, we must take him out of here

We must both

Rosie,believe me,that money is still there,maybe

No what money?

The money I gave Frankie the night Marlowe done her in

It was hidden in the room in Croyber Square

But it was more than 10 years ago

No one has lived there since except the crazy painter bloke

He wouldn't see a pot of gold if it was left out of the hole

How would you get it?

Can't ask it for it,can I?

No,don't do it please

If you get caught they will send you back to prison

The what will become of Jack

It's him I am thinking of

He has to grow up strong and healthy in a decent home

The money is still there,it's only for one to pick it up

I'm just collecting my pay back after fifteen years breaking stones

Aren't you going to wish me luck?

Good Luck,Herb

Herb

Herb

Come back

Come back

Herb

Who is that?

Rosie?

Good Evening,Logan.I'm detective inspector Benstead.Remember me?

Yeah.That was you who picked me up

What do you want?

I've been checking out on you at the labour exchange

I had a talk with the barrister there,he'll give you a job,

go and see him tomorrow morning

It's true,I wouldn't believe it..

From a copper wouldn't you?

I've got a wife and kiddie, the same as you,Logan

Good Night

-Thanks.Good Night -Good Night

Good Night

When I saw him at the door I nearly died

Yes,so did I

Open it

Wonderful,Herb

Tomorrow we take a look round for our claim

What's that?

Looks like a bit of verse

"So bowed old dame" ah doesn't mean anything

"So bowed old dame,heavy beaten slow, towards the splendor of the setting sun"

"Poor unworthy piece of day work done,by the shadows of the road"

Fill Jack's bottle will you, milk is hot enough now

"Always be in the at if you can I'd say"

"And then there was the real set too"

"His story is shaking me and..

we just going to lam out at me when I run out of the house"

"For good male voice:are you sorry?

"female voice:No,I mustn't grumble,

at least I'm honest,I may not be so good but I'm honest"

"I'm not ashamed of anything I've done,sorry for nothing Millie,that's me"

Sorry for Millie

Herb

"You have just heard the first part of the Area,

the famous play by Christopher Drew"

-Give me the bottle -What was his name,Christopher something

"he produced it fifteen years ago, a debut of broadcasting of the author"

"The second part follows after an interval of 10 minutes at 7 40"

Here,Rosie,look here The Area Steps by Christopher Drew

That's him,Kit Marlowe

What makes you so sure?

That's how Frankie talked

It's him all right,I know it is

Have you got the Area Steps by Christopher Drew?

Oh,no.That's a very old play, it is out of print

Anything by him would do

We have some of his poems

The newly published poems in Collected Works only just come in

Barmy

"a great reckoning in a little room"

It is a line written by Shakespeare about a fellow dramatist called Marlowe

Marlowe?

Where can I found out more about this bloke Drew?

He's got two columns in Who's Who

-Whose what? -Who's Who

It's kind of record of successful people, written largely by themselves

Drew,Christopher

Born,educated

Grant's College Serram Hill

Publications,home,address

High Grove

The treasury that gave us Shakespeare, the treasury that gave us Shaw and

Shall I say it?Yes,why not.He's giving me a box for the first time of his new play

The treasury that gave us Christopher Drew

Ladies and Gentlemen and those with their elbows on the table

I give you a toast of Christopher and Mary,

coupled with a toast of Christopher's collective poems

Christopher,Mary

Ladies and Gentlemen,and those with their faces in the fruit salad

I thank you for your friendship, on my own behalf and Mary's

Though deeply grateful for the fame

and put it in the context,cash, I play them puts of broth

the things I value most

is seated around this table now

my wife,my children,all of you

Bob,Annie

Yes,solemn Annie

When I look round and see you all

I think how lucky I've been

and no man,least of all myself, is worthy of such luck

There’s a candle lit for everyone of daddy's books

just think of writing all those books, just think of reading them

If you don't shut up I'll make you read them one by one

Come on,Dad,no cheating, blow them out all at once

Huge blow

Come on,Ben,all we get up

-Good night,father -Good night,darling

Excuse,daddy

Excuse me,Sir,a man came to see you, he was hanging about the garden

What sort of a man?

A rough sort,didn't like the look of him

-Give his name? -Logan,Herbert Logan

He said he would call back later

I will see him if he does

That's likely to be him now,Sir

Mr Drew

Yes

I'm Herbert Logan

Who?

Don't you remember me?

No,I'm sure,we have never met

We've never met before but I've been looking forward to it

It's kept me going thinking that for sixteen years

Fifteen of them in jail

Mr Logan,would you kindly tell me just what you come to see me for?

You were Kit Marlowe,weren't you?

The only Kit Marlowe I know of died in the reign of Queen Elizabeth

I heard that at the trial,thank you

Frankie told me all about you

Frankie? Who is Frankie?

The girl you strangled down in Croyber Square sixteen years ago

You were Kit Marlowe and you murdered Frankie

Mr Logan,I'm afraid your imaginations running away with you

I heard your play on the wireless, sorry for nothing,that's me

That's what Frankie always said, I found out other things as well

You were 21 just what Frankie said,

you went to school in Serram Hill, just like she said

She also said you were coming in that night

You are in.I know you are

How dare you come here and talking like this

It's not often I am accustomed to being pestered by lunatics

but this is too much,will you go at once please

Otherwise I should be obliged to call the police

You call the police,I'll give them all their proofs if they want

You mean this story about the girl being in my play

all authors,Mr Logan, find their characters

identified in people they never knew existing

I was 21 sixteen years ago,so were several thousands other people

I went to school in Serram Hill because I lived in Serram Hill

Lots of people do,you know

I hate to say this you run the risk of being certified

Now would you kindly go

I am mad,am I?

Perhaps I was to think you come forward now

What killer would

You're clever

Frankie said you were

You got all the answers pat

I admit I can never prove you were Kit Marlowe

but I know you were, and so do you

I swear it as God is my judge and yours,

One day he will judge you

One moment

It's just one point about your case as it occurs to me

I seem to remember that there was a woman who

See,here we are, Olive Mockson,

she testified that a certain fireman on the railway, a Heal

could not have been with this Frankie

at the time she was murdered as he was with her

I don't understand

An alibi,Logan,if this Olive Mockson was in love with Heal

an alibi might have not been too sound

Worth considering,you think?

He is undoubtedly be guilty of misprision of felony

Prosecution for that is very rare

But the cove in your play would be absolutely ruined

letting an innocent man rot in prison rather than stand up to it

Justified disgrace

The whole of society would be after him,the papers,fellows in parliament

No one would have the slightest mercy for him

The disgust of his fellowmen would follow him into the grave

Yes.So I imagined it would have been

Hey,give the pubs a miserable, we can't stick to lemonade

I've never touch a drop until I become a driver

-Well,so long Jim -So long

Be careful if it can't be good

Are you Jim Neal?

That's me

It's Logan,Herb

You clear off.There is no one who wants to mix with you

I've got some questions I want to ask you,Mr Heal

Who is it?

It's all right,Olive,my miss wouldn't like you hanging about here ,Logan

Olive?

Olive Mockson.Is she your mrs?

Sorry I can't help you

I know who had done it,Jim

I found him

Turn off that noise

What has that got to do with me?

I know who was with Frankie that night

A writer named Drew who was with her,all right

You said he was there,he must have known that,after she has done to him

You got no proof about this Drew

The cops would laugh at you

Detective Inspector Benstead don't do, the cop that picked me up,he listens to me

Always get's a bit too sentimental when the copper who nicked you does

Suppose Drew had been with Frankie,

just supposing he knew who it was had done her in

We got to force it out of him, see then I got what I want

I'll tell you something.That fellow Drew would talk one day.I'll make him

Sure as I'm standing here

You are wasting your time,mate,drop it

Here,have this beer

Until you find your wallet

Yeah,when I can get it,I was scavenger, not an engine driver

I'll say it's been tough for you,pretty awful if you've never done it

There's only one thing kept me going

the certainty that one day I'd find the real murderer

Look mate,I always thought that you've done it

What else was I to think?

I want you to know that I don't bear you no malice

So what say you if I try to fix you at the depot with a job

There is more talent in that then street sweeping

Railwayman? I could use some extra dole

You will get it enough to buy yourself a pint while you can forget all this

All gone and done with

I'll tell you what

I'm going to see Charlie now, he is the foreman

I'll speak to him about you,so we better meet up at the old..

No,I never go in there before I put myself right before the world

I walk in there again one day

Come to think of it

Why not come along and see Charlie with me?

Why not?

I'm going down the depot

I'll take it with the boiler before I go

We shan't be long

You been fixed up all right?

We can celebrate with a wet at Plate layer’s Arms

Come on

That's not the way to the depot is it?

We go by the tunnel,saves time

I know the road

Road is not here,this is our bit

Here,hold this while I light my pipe

So you killed Frankie

Frankie is dead,I won't wake her up again

Now I just make certain she doesn't

Wake

There is someone I got to do right by

Get the police quick,quick

And he confessed?

Yeah, he confessed but even that it is not good enough

Detective Inspector Benstead said

lots of people,when they are dying, confess of murders they never did

I've got to get corroborative proof he says

How would you get it?

From Mr Drew,I'm seeing him tonight

I phoned him at the theatre,he's rehearsing a new play

I said I got to see him,something new,you see, that concerned him

Get a taxi,says he,and wait for me outside the theatre

We'll go somewhere quiet

Somewhere quiet?

I'll take him somewhere quiet

Aren't you going home,Sir, it's getting very late

Don't worry Sir,people are saying it's the best thing you've done

-Good Night Sir -Good night

Is this where you live?

Yeah

This way Mr Drew

Why not sit down? The seats are free

It was Jim Heal then?

Yes it was,he confessed in the presence of witnesses

Will that clear you?

No.Not yet it doesn't.I need proof

In a word,just one word from someone else

-Who? -You,Mr Drew

Jim Heal said he killed her because she was with another man

All you got to do is to say it was you

It was you,was it not?

Logan,you accuse me of murder

now you are accusing being with an unknown woman in a room I've never seen

Haven't you Mr Drew?

Look.Look around

Can't you hear her?

Can't you hear laughing the way she did?

Sorry for nothing,Frankie, didn't she say that?

Didn't she?

If you are not going to talk I'll bet there's something here that will

Frankie had a hideaway somewhere

somewhere where she kept her valuables, like under the boards maybe

Didn't you never give her something,Mr Drew?

I'll bet I could find something if I look

Have you read Heal's confession?

Indeed I have.I've got a copy

May I see it?

Sure,I'll get it

"You are writing old funny things,

I'll put it somewhere safe read it when I'm old,and you're famous"

Is this what you are looking for?

This poem you wrote

What's it got to do with it?

Proof you've been in this room before

We are quite alone

And that's how it's always going to be until

Just you and me until you want to tell the truth

I was here that night

But I could never make you understand why I let you suffer like this

I was young ambitious,my life then was so sheltered,narrow minded

I had not only myself to think of

Then once I started it became more difficult

Worse,worse

I know I can't make it up to you but you can have all the money you need

Money.I don't want your money

Logan,it's my wife and children against yours

I gone so far I can't go back

I'm not going to speak

You are not going to?

I'll do anything else you ask me but

not that

Ah,Mr Drew maybe now you'll feel some of the things I felt for 16 years

In the end justice has caught up with you

I wonder how many of us would have the courage

Hello,brother.Is everything ookiedookie?

What?

Yes it is

-I must.. -I say

When the first leaves fall

Sure,sure,thanks a lot

Rosie

Rosie

I'm cleared Rosie

Herb,wonderful

I think I got to cry

You are terrible feeble Rosie, crying is not going to top me

Crying,when I got a proof I'm innocent

I bet you have hysterics when I get my pardon,love
