SUSPECT

Subtitles by Seglora

Come in

-For professor Sewell,Sir -What is it,Arthur?

-Looking for Miss Byrne -What's the matter?

I have got got trouble with Philips again,Sir

Ah,damned.Where is she?

You won't find her here, she is working with Marriott

That's right,that's right,excuse me,Sir

-Who's that again,Sir -Marriott

Marriott,that's right,Marriott

92

Miss Byrne,you had to come and deal with Philips

Not again

I can't do nothing with him, he's got my cap this time

He mustn't eat it,he is on a diet

I'd better go

Philips,how could you,come on

Come on,give it back

Come on,come on,come on

That was very naughty

I shan't tell you again

Better put it on,Arthur, you might catch cold

Thank you,Miss Byrne

Little dumbhead

92 slight growth

93 slight growth

You know as chips go,Philips is a white elephant

Philips is all right

Philip hardest keeping him in a cage and letting Arthur go lose

94 slight

No

Yeah,slight growth

I wish you wouldn't do that

95 slight growth

What?

When you hesitates like that it makes me think something exciting is coming

Like no growth or strong growth

You want to live in whirl,you had a no growth two months ago

96 slight growth

How many does the prof wants us to do?

97

Slight growth

5000

Although he probably would like us to do a million

There is a tree out there, just beginning to bud

It will put out its leaves, it will be spring

Then when the leaves become dry and dusty,they'll fall it will be autumn

All through the winter they will remain bare

And then just as it is beginning to bud again,we are lucky

We'll finish messing about with this

My dear girl,you're being optimistic

Come on

98 slight growth

The prof is just as likely to scrap the lot and start again

He always does it with the slightest excuse for it

How is it going?

Still the same,all slight

That will worry me,slight growth covers to widen area

Reading matters,any inaccuracy matters

Isn't the point of the experiment to confirm

there is no change in the balance of infectivity?

The point of the experiment,young lady

is to get accurate information,never mind what you want the answers to be

We've done over a thousand,we know the chances are all against us..

If we knew all about it

why in the hell do we waste time on it, go to a football match or something

No,we need a new method of measurement

Next try a dropping technique plate

Dilute our serum suspensions to theoretical number of bacilli say 100 or 200 per drop

Place 10 drops on each plate so,right?

It'll save on plates and it will be far more accurate

That mean scrapping all we have done

If they are no good,you have do that anyway

But are they no good? We spent two months without finding anything

Two months?

Only two months to learn not to start too soon

That's cheap

You don't want to start again?

I only want to get on what it is we are supposed to be doing

All right then,try this,may not work but it is worth having a go

Come on Doc

Somebody became desperate

Lucy

Never damned well satisfied

Now look,you've got the jumps

You ought to relax,you know

Have some fun

Sort of fun,like holding hands in the pictures

Why not? What's wrong with holding hands?

Did I say it was anything wrong with it?

Do you think we are ready to publish?

You've been at it twenty years

and in everyone of those years

about half a million people have died of bubonic and typhus

Give it to the world now

and we might soon have enough data to end this epidemics for good

Would it surprise you,Fred

if you learned that I wrote to ministry last Tuesday?

You mean you are publishing?

I hate publishing it's so damned final

I suppose we are better before I take to a wheel chair

-I'm delighted -Of course,your name will be on it..

that should be enough to carry you into the Royal Society

Come,come

I'm putting the names of all the team on the front

just to cheer our disgruntled Miss Byrne

Lucy,she is all right,I think she has a rather tough private life

All women have

they are either in love or not in love, either way it interferes with their work

It's a dull job for a young girl, she's been on it a long time

Women all clock watches,only 30 years they have their babies in

and anything which isn't to do with having babies is a waste of time

that's why they are no good to science

Btw she is in love with young Marriott?

I wouldn't think so

Here in this romantic rural retreat amidst the majesty of nature

we can and be feel far removed from the trials and tribulations of city life

Let's go

Why? It's only half past six

I know but I really must

Listen

What's the rush all of a sudden?

I've lot to do

You've always got a lot to do,I suspect you are leading a double life

No,barely a single one,I assure you

Tell me Miss Byrne,is there another?

Up to a point,yes

What point?

It's all rather complicated

I'm sorry,I suppose I oughtn't go out with you really

Why not?

Look you are not married, are you?

No,I'm not married

You are living alone?

No, I live with a man called Alan Andrews

I see

I doubt if you do,I was engaged to him once but I'm not any more

Are you still in love with him then?

It isn't as simple as that,probably not a bit like you think

Here's my bus

Good Night.Thank you

Good Night Lucy

Hello,darling

Hello,darling

Sorry I'm late

Sweating?

How are you getting on with the book?

These two pages are admirable

but it would be nice to go on,I'd be staring at these about an hour now

You can turn over,Alan

No,I'm afraid I've lost both my arms

The left as you can see is gone

and if you look closely,you'll see the right is artificial

You did it all right this morning, darling,here you are

I don't want it

These people certainly believe in getting their money's worth out of you

I went to a newsreel for half an hour with Bob Marriott,I rather enjoyed it

Good,I wish you would do that sort of thing more often,darling

It's pure selfishness,just wanted to

How about some food?

Of course you wanted to

Why shouldn't you?

You know you take your responsibilities too seriously,darling

Do I? See,where did I put that opener

It's a great relief

when you just going to do something you want to do like going out with..

What's his name?

Bob Marriott

Quite nice,sort of person you want to hold hands in pictures

That's the sort of person we all are,darling

What a pleasant change for you to have a hand to hold

I'd said what a pleasant change for you to have a hand to hold

when I make a joke as good as that,darling,you might laugh

Alan,don't

Because after all a man who got two hands,real hands

can do such a lot of things with them besides just holding yours

if you want those things,don't you? Why not?

Hang around here being bored and disgusted

When I want to go,I'll tell you

That's right,the day you want to get rid of me

just pack me up,stick a label on me and send me to an institution

until then stand by my side

you know, bold virtuous self sacrificing

and then when you feel like doing something else

Come on,food

I don't want the bloody stuff

Come on,darling

Temperature at ninety degrees

He'll do four hours with hundred degrees

when he is completely exhausted

we'll clap on the cage with the infected flies

and let them take a good bite at him

Bring a towel over will you?

It's pouring into my eyes

Ninety

Towel,here you are

Thank you

Lucy

I don't want to pry

But would you mind telling me a bit more about your..

..your home life

What do you want to know?

I've been trying to work it out

You are living with a man to whom you were once engaged

You are no longer engaged

You don't love him anymore but you are still living with him?

Why?

Because he lost both his arms in Korea

Which isn't much use to someone who is hoping to be a concert pianist

We got engaged at Oxford

I was nineteen,my mother just died

I was lonely as hell

The idea was that I should go and get my degree

then when he came back we get married

I got my degree,he came back

First of all,they blew his arms off

And he wouldn't marry me

Apart from that,physically, he is a complete mess

Can't live long anyway

So there we are

It isn't possible for him to go somewhere where he would be looked after?

Yes,but he hate it

It's all wrong,you know

Is it?

You had a scientific training, you know how to think straight

It's inexcusable

Why?

Because a fit useful member of society is being sacrificed for a person of..

Of no social value

I know that sounds pretty foul

Hadn't you better going on with the job?

It's hot in here

You are indulging your emotions in it

Makes you feel good,you don't realize it,but you are

Why you even scamp your work here to get back to him

And can't go to the pictures when you want me to

That's up

I should be pedal up if I were you,you're being watched

He could capture a real pathogen,you know

Well for chance,he did volunteer

Before you told him we were publishing?

I did..mention this with probably with the last test you'd want before we put it out

Prospect of authorship must have gone to his head

I'd say it's a reasonable risk

we tried it on Philips the chimp

and he only showed slight inflammation in the eyes

Maybe but did you have the chimpanzee on a bicycle beforehand?

His legs are too short

Why does he keep his eyes shut?

So that he can't see where he isn't going,I suppose

Btw I received a summons from the minister, what the devil do you think he wants?

Anyhow I will be back when the flies had their lunch

Right so

Relax,lunchtime

I've been in the theatre with the ravenously looking flies

They'll bite like fury

-Here -Thanks

Left arm,please

-You don't like this,do you? -Makes you'll throw up

You know,during the war

the conscientious objector used to volunteer for this kind of job

Sleeping in blankets infected with scabies

I know how he did it,it takes real guts

With any justice in peace time it ought to be the ardent militarists

But I don't suppose they'll volunteer

Sit down

Everyone quite happy?

Go ahead,quite

-Very nice -View sadistic

Where is the prof? He is usually in there

Minister send for him

What does that mean?

It could mean

that 20 years devoted research is about to be rewarded by our great four country

-Professor Sewell,Minister -Right,send him in

I'll see you afterwards

-How do you do? -Come in,Professor

-Make yourself comfortable -Thank you

-Smoke if you want,I'm going to -Thank you

You know,I always wanted to meet you

As a kid I had to educate myself

and I think the only book I ever read on biology

was Sewell's Elements,you remember it?

Good Heavens,that was a long time ago

Sewell's Elements for Biological Students, I remember it well

The photographs were very good I seem to remember

I don't think they were any in my edition

Oh,no they weren't I was thinking of another book

-I really did read you know -I'm very gratified

Now I've been told you are just finishing a wonderful piece of work

In fact from our point of view

I'm afraid it's a downside too wonderful, you scared my people out of their wits

Scared? I don't understand

Let me put it to you in the language of the layman

I'm advised that you developed some particular virulent bugs

which you are going to use to stamp out bubonic and typhus

-Yes,it's roughly the idea -Wonderful

But my advisers tell me that the whole thing to be turned upside down

And if these same bugs in the hands,if we say of a hostile power

could be used to start of any epidemic you seek to prevent,you agree?

It's just possible I suppose but I dispute whether it is at all likely

That is,of course,is a matter of judgement, and matters of judgement,it's our business

Haven't you going to tell me why you called me here?

It's simply this

while everybody agrees that you've done a magnificent piece of work

they feel,as things are,it's too dangerous to broadcast

so I'm afraid,for the time being,we going to have to ask you not to publish

Are there any questions about that decision?

Fire ahead

By whom was it made?

By the cabinet

On your advice?

Yes

Isn't it difficult to advice on something you know nothing about?

The government employs a few biologists you know

So in this case the cabinet is merely the mouthpiece for a junior in my field

Now wait a minute,they don't judge the work,they merely advice on its use

And if I refuse to accept the decision?

-You mean publish? -I do

In that case we should just have to slap you in jail

But look,Professor,all this is just theory

you are not the type of man who commit treason,just to have his own way

Treason?

That's what it amount to,isn't it?

Are they quite frank with you,Minister?

Although I know nothing about politics

I'd never felt that because I happen to be born in this country

it was the only country that mattered

I've tried to give it a fair return for what it has given me

and after that my loyalty is to the world

When you tell me it will be treason to publish my work

because some lunatic might use it to kill Englishmen

and I know that stuff properly developed

could save half a million lives outside this country

then I say it will be treason to those half millions if I don't

Professor Sewell,do you realize the present state of the world?

I know we are told every day

that what's wrong is fear and suspicion and lack of good will

and then you do things like this to make sure that everybody

has got something to be frightened and suspicious about

If I came and admitted that I knew nothing about biology

and then lectured you on it, you'd be angry and quite right

but after 40 years in the laboratory

you feel quite capable of coming here and telling me my business

If the scientist has spent 40 years learning to think properly and logically

I know,I know,only scientists know how to think

and it is high time they took over the running of the world

They could hardly make a bigger mess of it

Maybe,although I don't share your confidence

Now let me tell you something

These things that you have been saying

I thought and talked about on street corners by the time I was twenty

since then while you have been studying biology, I've been studying people

Shall I tell you what I learned?

That people want more money for less work

they want justice without curtailing their liberty

they want to spend more and reduce taxation

they want to be a strong if there is a war

but not to prepare for it,mention it or even think about it beforehand

you talked to me about logical thinking,Professor

I don't see what this has to do with my work

Simply this

You want to take a chance that this stock of yours will not be used against us

in order to give it to the world, fine,we knew that

and feel big,bold and generous

and then there is a war,and it does come back and it kills us

that's all right the gamble didn't come off

but it also kills Mrs Jones of Tooting and her cousin Harold

and they didn't feel big bold and generous,they just got killed

they elected me to see that they didn't get killed

Every man got a right to his own view how to run the world

but nobody got the right to think of himself so superior

that he can do it with one hand without knowledge without experience

without any damned thing except plenty of confidence

I have no such illusions but if you expect me to abandon my own judgement

I'm not talking about your judgement talking about your actions

You tell me to take 10 years of thought and 20 years of work

and toss them down the drain and I'm not to be allowed to disagree

Of course you can

It's a free country and anybody can disagree,but if you want to do anything

Look,Professor,the system is all wrong

the world is all wrong,the politicians are all wrong,but here they are

And we got to do the best we can with them now

Bring your logical mind to bear on that one

Come in

Excuse me,the PM sent word across Minister

you are wanted in the House, Larking is on his feet again

There you are,you see

I wish you invented a bug that silenced Larkin,I'm afraid I must leave you

Think it over,come and see me again,if you want to

Aren't you taking rather a risk leaving me at large?

Risk? Oh,that.Oh no you couldn't publish

first to say you couldn't get it printed,we shall see to that

I see,very well

How did he behave?

He is not convinced, as long as he is not convinced,he is a risk

He doesn't know it but he is bogus

-Bogus? -Couldn't even it down,sincerely

All that guff about humanity

He wouldn't know humanity if he met it in the street

Shall we put the dogs on him?

Yes,on him and the laboratory

Arthur Parkin nothing known, Philip Doke nothing known

No,they know nothing about anybody

When they do it is always wrong

-Slater? -Sir

-Did you ever work in here? -Yes,Sir.Three years,Sir

I thought you might have

Have you got Henry Levers,Sir?

-Who is that? -Henry Levers,Sir

No,have you got Mrs Bunglers Brewer's file Oh,yes I have though

Levers, member of the Liberal party, later joined Labour party later still Communist

then Union of Fascists

after that joined Commonwealth and campaigned for Scottish Nationalists

He has had it all except whooping cough,hasn't he?

Check on him,Sir

I suppose so,obviously Buddhist by now. Who else have you got?

Robert Pelham Marriott,nothing known Dr Fredrick Shole,we got a lot on him,Sir

Of course we have I did that one myself

-Lucy Byrne -That's interesting or could be..

Living with ex pilot a hundred percent disability

Yes, we I think we wasted a bit of time on this one

I never mind a shilling on an outsider

-Good Morning -Good Morning,Sir

I am looking for a Mr Marriott

Marriott? I don't know ,Sir, I think he is still in isolation

Do you like to come a look and see with me?

Thank you

-You are in luck,Sir,here he is -Thank you very much

Thank you,Sir

My name is Andrews,Alan Andrews

Yes

You are looking for Miss Byrne?

No,no

Can I be of any help to you?

Where is she?

She is...working in the animal room

Good.As a matter of fact I came to see you,can you spare me a moment?

Yes,of course

See if I can find you a chair

No,no,listen to me

I'd rang up for an appointment only ringing up is a bit too much

It's all right.Do you like cigarette?

Oh,thank you very much,thank you

You have to light it for me,I'm afraid

In the corner

-Thank you -All right

Has Lucy told you about me?

-Yes, attractive girl,isn't she? -Yes

She makes somebody a marvellous wife

She has all the qualities I think

I agree

Yes,I thought you would

Did you have a good time the other night?

When?

Are you not sure whether she told me?

I wasn't trying to trap you, I am all in favour of it

No questions if you are trapping me

I did take Lucy out,I did enjoy myself, and I am glad you are in favour

But I shouldn't care if you weren't

Excellent,excellent,and so did she enjoy herself

What about it?

Do you mind throwing the cigarette away for me?

It's a wicked waste but I can't manage more than half ,then smoke gets in mind

I'm glad you are not worried about me

People are usually incurable sentimental about the maimed

Quite logical

Trouble of course is Lucy, she is my worry,and yours

Meaning just what exactly?

It's true she's been trained as a scientist

Well

She is still a woman,isn't she?

I still don't see what you are driving at

How do you think she sees it?

You are young fit and whole, I am as you see me

If necessary you can live your life by yourself,I'm not quite in that position

I have to be treated like a child in arms

My food cut out and fed into my mouth

my face washed,my hair done, dressed and undressed

Sometimes in bed I can't turn over and there is a whole lot more to it

Look,don't think I don't realize

She control that every night,every moment she isn't actually working here

and return I give her hell

I can't hurt her physically where I make up it with my voice I cut at you?

So you see when you take her out and make love to her

Because one takes a girl to pictures

I'm not stupid,she wants to be kissed and handled

and all bloody but she hate herself afterwards

Shall I tell you why stays and look after me?

Because it makes her feel good and virtuous,that's what I can do

You can make her only feel a bitch,ludicrous

You can't compete because you can't make her feel good

Come on,take it easy

Would you leave it to me,Bob

Are you sure?

Perhaps you call a taxi

Yes,of course

All right,darling,it's all right,I got you

Arthur

Yes,Sir

Arthur,quick ring the rank and get a taxi will you?

-Now? -Yeah,now

Bob

Prof wants a word with us all right away,where is Lucy?

She is in there,but don't bother,Doc,I'll get her

Thanks

Sorry,Lucy,but the prof wants all in his office right away

-Damned -Don't worry,I can manage

Arthur is getting a taxi

Thank you

You run along,come on,don't worry

-Quite sure? -Quite sure

Take care

I hope you let me apologize

for that deplorable exhibition, can't imagine what came off me

Forget it

No,but I hate you think I was behave like that

Would you come and have a drink with us one evening?

Yes,yes,thanks, I'd like to

Tomorrow night?

-I don't know about tomorrow night -Please

I'd like Lucy to feel I haven't completely batted my meeting with you

Yes,all right,thank you

6 30 then

Four Feathers,Lucy will show you the way

All right

-Good Bye -Good Bye

But what's it got to do with defence? This is a Ministry of Health matter

That's the trouble in their view everything is to do with defence,come in Bob

I've just been telling the others,we can't publish

Our works has been put on the official secret list,sit down

Can't publish?

Why not? They must be crazy

Wait a moment

-What's going to happen to the work,Sir -I've no idea

-But don't we go on? -They want us to

Whether we will go on is another matter

But in the meantime all of us here is subject to security

Back to the good old top secret racket,eh?

Carrying passes,bobbies on the door,scrambled phones

each taking turns on night duties and never take sweets from a stranger

It's so utterly ridiculous

All right,all right I know exactly how you feel

personally I never felt more angry or more frustrated in my life

more ashamed of the crowd who is supposed to govern us

But what to do about it I just don't know

There it is,sorry everyone

Doc, you carry on until we know what must be done will you?

Brilliant young scientist

seeks post in a comparatively sane and civilised society,hottentots preferred

I'd say the only thing is to be fully grown up,and take it seriously

I take it seriously,doc

In fact it terrifies me

We don't know all the facts,they do

In the meantime it is up to us to show a little responsibility

-Responsibility? -Not you,Bob..

You know it all but the rest of us who aren't so gifted

Let's keep calm about it shall we until we see how it is all going to work out

It's an absolute scandal

If I'd been Professor Sewell I would have told him to go the devil

How can a scientist work with the government interfering in whatever

Then should not the scientist scream, come on Bob we are off duty

Shut up Lucy,is daunting interesting

shows the Joe McIntyre was getting to blown to bits with this kind of brave new world

Sick

You don't know half of it

You know how I got this,luv

Wasn't the enemy,you know,no, slight mistake over the target area

How did they compensate the gallant acting squadron leader?

With the pilot officer's pension, a jubilation in the treasury

when they find out they could do that

I have every reason to be grateful to my country

Come on,Phil,more drinks

-I think I owe you one -Nonsense

-There we go -Here,will this cover it?

If Mr Brown doesn't order a treble

Hello,Bill

-Lucy,you know Bill Brown,don't you? -Yes,hello

Meet Bob Marriott the distinguished scientist

He tries to be but they won't let him, meet Bill Brown the well known drunk

-How do you do -Sit down

Who am I let in to?

I thought this first to be the age of science had the love of age of ignorance

Look it is already 7 15

Tell him Bob

It's not much to tell really just years of research down the drain that's all

How come?

-They put us on the secret list -Bob

It's a damned scandal

Thousands of Chinese and Indians dying like flies

and what we are doing might save them but oh,no

Look let's drop it

I'd like to see somebody stop me publishing if I knew it was the right thing to do

-What sort of work is it? -Just work

We really must be moving

Why has it been stopped?

Defence.But really it's lunacy in high places

I see,the real hush hush

Atoms and all that

It's fantastic to treat stuff like this as a secret

Well it is secret enough not to be talked about in pubs

Come on

Don't do it,Lucy,let him finish his drink

That's all right I'm coming

Changed your mind,Sir

Another time,Phil,another time

Well I hope it all turns out all right for you

Thank you very much.Good Night

-Good Night. -Good Night all

-Phil, give me a large scotch -Coming up

Excuse me Sir

-It is Dr Shole,isn't it? -Yes

Professor Sewell has been called to the ministry

he hadn't time to let you know

but he wants you there and I've been sent to collect you

Really? Well could we call at the lab first?

It's really very urgent,Sir,perhaps you could phone when we get there

Very well

Haven't forgotten it's my duty to meet Doc Shole and his wife tonight,have you?

Lord,is that come around again already

Yes

-Who shall I get in for you,Sam? -I suppose so

No,how about Bob? Marriott?

-Yes -Why?

Why not? I like to meet him again

I don't see you like him not to meet me,you ask him and see

I certainly shan't

What's the objection to my liking somebody who happens to like you?

Sam is used doing things for you

Even a scientist can be taught to give a man his food

Forget it Alan,you just enjoy leading him on

you encourage him a lot of silly talk and it is bad for both of you

I must have something apart from two arms I like to find out what it is

a man can't help being interested in his rivalry

-Stop fooling who is it to be? -I told you I want Bob

But you can't have him

If I had use of my arms you'd think twice before talking to me like that

All right,darling,you win

Well,who? You can't stay here alone

I shan't

-Not in here? -Yes,it's right,Sir

But you said the ministry?

You could call it sort of a branch of the ministry

Look I don't know what game is,officer

-How dare you? -No offence intended,Sir

-Slater,you haven't been rough again? -Not exactly rough,but the doctor

All right,all right,get out

Awful chap,isn't he,makes my job practically impossible,you know

Have a seat ,doctor

Before that I'd like to know where I am, where professor Sewell is,and who you are

My name is Prince,not that matters

I'm sorry about the cloak and dagger stuff

Slater loves it,he reads too many fillers you know

Always upsets people

Now then,where the devil are my notes

Will you please tell me where I am and why you brought me here?

I suppose you could call us a small cog in the security machine

Here we are,sit down doctor

Now then

It's about this fellow you look after,what is his name,Sewell

I'm Professor's Sewell's assistant not his nurse

That's right

We are supposed to stop making a fool of himself

I don't know what on earth you are talking about

We don't know much either you know

We didn't come into this until the minister told him he couldn't publish

After that he must have written to the President of the Royal Society

Who replies

"You give no details

but I don't think the Society could possibly interfere so on so on"

Very naughty you know

He was simply consulting the head of his profession

on a question of a principle

He's been told to keep his trap shut

And he trots off to his lawyers and they tell him not to be a fool

I suppose your Mr Slater was hiding behind the desk

Yes,probably disguised as a window cleaner

Damned fool

Apart from that

your Professor has been shooting his mouth open in his club,you know

Nothing much markings

Dirty cracks about bureaucratic interference with science

Where is it going to stop?

And he talked to his staff

That is right,isn't it?

Look here if you brought me here because you imagine

I'm going to inform on Professor Sewell

Dear old dear doctor I don't what you're driving here

you are getting it all wrong,I tell you why you brought you here

Where did I put that,oh yeh

Let see where we are now

Now then "You left school Cardiff Tech and you became the professor's lab boy

under him you learned enough to become his principal assistant

Lavender and Franklin Evans wing of the Haughton Lab

well in other words ,we know that you are devoted to him

This is exactly why we want you to help us to help him

Very well,how?

Let's get back to where we were

He had told his staff,yes?

And told them it is agreed

Yes,but it is there nothing illegal

If he has,I don't see how I was supposed to know

They'd expect to stop a man of from doing

something they wanted to touch until he does

And they say you are slow

Does he get drunk?

No,and he doesn't go and writing a false paper either

He doesn't? In that case he maybe all right

What exactly do you expect me to do?

You tell him not to be a fool or you smack his backside

We are not quite on those terms

-Good Morning,Arthur -Morning to you Marriott

Mr Marriott?

-Have you got your pass? -Yes

Good,good,good

Hear,halt your move Sir I'm supposed to look at it

Arthur ,you're getting fanatical

No,I am not,for I'm just doing a job of work,that's all I'm doing

-OK? -Fine,Sir

Arthur,have they given Philips a pass, do you know?

Philips,the chimpanzee?

-I don't think so,Mr Marriott -You'd better check

He is a secret agent

Bob!

Just the man,have you got a key for this damned thing?

-What's that Sir? -Our so called,top secret cabinet

No,I haven't got one

I think I know where Mary keeps the office one

There you are,Doc

Shows how much all this security nonsense is worth

Whenever I want anything, this damned thing is locked

and everybody knows where the key is,except me

Thanks,might as well leave it open

Have you lost your key?

I think it's gone to the cleaners

Anyhow it's the same with passes

I could have mine for days but Arthur never stops me

I can arrange for him to keep you out when you haven't got it ,if you like

The day I'm kept out of my own laboratory

because of this nonsense I'll shall resign my chair right,thanks Bob

Btw that infection test you did,good type of work

Why you and any of us

should waste our time trying to do good work I really don't know

Tuppence worth of guts

I left with tuppence worth of guts,with what?

They'll shut the place down

Until then the team got to go on working

and wouldn't be better not to discourage them too much

Quite right,Doc

As always

That's fine I shall look forward seeing you

Good Bye

That was very kind,thank you very much

Wait a moment ,mate,here,half a minute

Have it on the ****jug,so long

It was Alan

Wants to spend the evening with me

-You're going? -Yah

Why do you want to see Alan again?

I suppose because I admire him

-Why? -I don't know..

..the other day he came here,the way he talked about you and himself

he tried to be fair as any man could be in his position

probably the effort was too much for him in the end,but fine of him just the same

Sure you realize?

What?

Even with arms off but his brain was not blown out

I don't see what you are getting at

Look,I want to tell you something

Everything Alan does is done deliberately,it's an act

sometimes for somebody else's benefit but more often for his own

-You mean he is insincere? -No..

Insincerity is the same what you don't need

He does mean it,for a time,and he knows the effect it is going to have

The other day there was no act,I can assure you

Of course there was

My dear girl as you weren't here I didn't see reason..

Have it your own way

Scientists just accept it,that was beats me

They don't accept it,at least I don't nor do plenty of others

Why haven't someone has the guts to tell the government to go to hell

What would be the use? It would never get printed and distributed

Laddie,I'm in the publishing business

and I can tell you there isn't a damned thing you can't

Look,let's go round the corner to my place it's only a few yards

We have a bite

It's very kind of you,I am not hungry,I don't want to stop you

I'm quite happy,I could listen to Bob all night

Try to imagine what sort of appetite you'd have

if you had the lives of half a million people in your hands

They are not in my hands,I only wish to heaven they were

You sounds that you would publish giving half the chance

Of course I would if I was in Sewell's place

Supposing I'd tell you that this could be put in the hands

of research workers in every country in the world,would you be interested?

Yes,but

What

How?

This isn't in my line of country of course but

I do happen to know that some sort of organization does exist

for coping with your particular problems

What sort of organisations,Bill?

Some name like the International Scientific Exchange,something like that

-I've never heard of it -Nor a lot of other people

You know Bill this is one of the most cheering things I've heard from a long time

Scientific boys just refusing to be muddled with

Something like that

But how the devil do they get away with it?

Stuff isn't signed and there is no printers name there is just information

Thank heavens for few sane people in a world of insane regulations

I thought you knew all about it

No,I've never heard of it

This statue then follows the memories of the research workers

of this and other laboratories,who interferes,have given their lives

that others may live

for peace too has its battlefields and the armies of progress are ever on the march

When he doesn't stop them

How proudly today,we acknowledge the sacrifice

that has been offered not merely for ourselves but for all humanity

What a humbug

What an example for those of us to whom they have bequeath the torch

That's you,chum

An example to each and everyone of you must represent a most sacred trust

Their inspiration is now your duty to build a better,a healthier and happier world

-Very pleasant vaulting -This is the Franklin Evan's Wing

Can I see the passes,please,gentlemen

That's all right I'm the Director of Haughton,this is the Minister

I don't know nothing about that, Sir,I got to see all passes

But you were at the ceremony, you saw us outside

Hah,but this is inside,Sir

Well done,quite right,I am the man who made these rules,you know?

Well,I did know it Sir, but if you made it,you ought to stick to it,Sir

Sewell,what is all this damned nonsense

It wasn't my idea,you know,all right Arthur

This the Head of our Wing,Minister

The professor and I are old friends,how are you,Sewell

Still recovering from the impact of those few ,well chosen words

You have to lay it on a bit on these occasions,you know

Childs, I promised you should meet the greatest man in your field

Professor Sewell,Doctor Childs

-How do you do -How do you do

-Can I leave you in his hands -Splendid,I see you later

Thought this might be an opportunity to meet your little team

and thank them for what they have done

It's very good of you,if you follow me

This the backbone of the little team,Dr Shole,the Evan's leader

How do you do

-The assistants Mr Marriott and Miss Byrne -How do you do

The Minister and Doctor Childs How do you do

Now I see the attraction of laboratory work

Childs why can't we collar a few pretty girls for the ministry?

I asked to meet you so that I could thank you personally

For the magnificent job you've been doing under your great chief here

I'm well aware there has been some disappointments

but it occurred to me on the way down here,didn't it,Childs?

that we might be able to do make some amends

Sewell,now that you are more or less a stand still here

would you feel like murdering me

if I wanted to borrow these three and put them with Doctor Childs for a short while?

He has a little group doing similar work to your own

reading super virulents and so forth

That will be entirely up to them

-But you would keep their jobs open? -Of course

You'll be advising some of the best scientists in the country,you know

-Isn't that right,Childs? -Yes,Sir

You are a long way ahead,you could show us how the strains should be handled

Could you tell us what your group reading bacteria for?

-Defence -Defence?..

Yes,military work is not much in my line,I'm afraid

You young people of all got your bee in the bonnet

It's all science

Nothing wrong with scientists thinking about the defence of his country,is it?

Well,what do you say?

I'd say it would require some careful thoughts,Sir

Of course if there are any difficult about moving

Your homes I mean,we take care of that ,money that sort of thing

It reminds me you've not discussed salary yet

Now,if Mr Marriott for example would be teaching your people

Childs, I suppose you want to grade him up to Senior Scientific Officer,wouldn't you?

Certainly,only fair

And that would mean another 10 pounds a week wouldn't it

-At least -Which should be all right,you know

That was a bribery offer 10 lousy pounds,Judas was paid more

And there he stood grinning quite sure I'd jump at it

Perhaps I should try and stop for your own sake

when a man has the courage to do what he believes to be right

instead of following the herd

-Hello,Bill -Hello

It's yours

Thanks

Here I am stroll about

-Something you said the other night -Yeah

About this

International Scientific Exchange

Look I got to get home

Can walk with me if you like

-All right -So long

-Thanks,Alan -Nothing to thank me for

Don't say anything to Lucy about this,will you?

Not tell a word to her,don't worry

Look here you're asking a bit much aren't you?

After all it's nothing to do with me

The other night you asked me if I was interested,well I am

It's a bit difficult I have to think about it

Why did you suggest it?

I didn't suggest anything,I just happened to mention it

Look here,I don't know what your game is?

Can you or can't you put them in touch with me?

I might you have to keep me out of it

Yes keep you..

It's a thing we all got to be pretty careful with

When can you fix it?

Might take a bit of time

Ring me at this number tomorrow

Lunchtime

Good Night

Doctor Shole

I shan't keep you a moment make yourself comfortable

Alan, I can see now

Who sent you?

No one

The name is Shole

Yes,of course it is,yes,you look after our professor,don't you?

I'll tell you why we asked you to call

I'm afraid he has been a bit naughty,you know

Nothing much marked but he wrote to the President of the Royal Society

Wait a moment this where I came in

Came in where?

-You told me about it last time -I did?

There must be something else in it?

I remember

Yes,you got a girl named Byrne

-Do you know her friend Andrews? -No

-You got a boy named Marriott -Yes

How do you rate him?

As a scientist,first class

-As a man? -Perhaps a trifle immature

-But honest? -Absolutely I should say

Don't like the sound of that

The slippery ones are easy but these honest chaps turn you Gray

Sewell and him are pretty close

He is one of the team

They get on all right together

Certainly he's been with us since he was a student

How about Marriott and the girl? Any hanky panky there?

The only work of the lab I really don't know

I know.It's a dabble these jobs

No one ever knows everything you know?

Thanks for coming in

Is everything all right,so far

Oh as you know,professor

More so so than it was?

I would be the last to know

Oh,yes there was another fellow

What's his name ..

Shole.What's he like?

It's hardly for me to say

Of course you are Shole,ha,ha

Oh,yes,there was something else I wanted to ask you

It's coming in a moment

No matter,some other time

Oh,yes I remember,don't shut the outer door,the lock sticks

yesterday we couldn't get out for three hours

I'll try to remember

Thank you driver

Hello,Bob,where are you off to?

I need a spark of fresh air

Shall I tell then to give you something hot?

No thanks,Doc,Don't bother I get a sandwich

-I am ringing as arranged -Yes,I've spoken to my clients

They are interested and could be in the property tomorrow night

What shall I do?

Could you bring the plans along at 9 pm?

Yes

But I have to get them back before tomorrow morning

It would take a rather long time to copy them wouldn't it?

That's all right

I suppose they'll take a few snapshots

Yes,of course

Where should I go?

Take this down

Really,not again

Mr Prince would like to see you,Sir

But he can't I have my work to do

It's very urgent,Sir

It's always urgent,and he never knows me when he sees me

Anyway I am sick of that letter, I've heard it twice already

It's not that this time,Sir

Could be serious

All right

but if it isn't, I promise you it's going to be serious for your honest Prince

Yes,Sir

Just time to tidy up

I wished I learned and write with my toe

They offered to teach me and I wouldn't let them

What do you want to write, darling?

A letter

I'll write it for you

It is to you

Nice letter one I like to get

I don't know,you might like it,you might not

There

You know I don't think we ever really understood our relationship

Is that what you want to write me about?

Partly

You think I'm grateful for all you've done for me but that I don't love you

Both wrong as it happens,I'm not grateful and I do love you

I may understand more than you think

Anyhow,kiss me

No,not like that,properly with your arms around my neck

Thank you

God when they spoil things for you, they spoil them good and proper

It's not fair not being able to write that letter to you

You tell me sometime

All you hear,you know and the rest you have to guess

There is no need to fetch me tonight

just come straight home,somebody is coming my way

It's all right,darling,be all right once you are inside

That's right should be all right once I'm inside

Dr Shole you are a scientist

so I hate to go jumping into my conclusions and have you laughing at me

Let's take this step by step,shall we and you tell me where I go wrong?

-Go ahead -Right

It all starts with your professor being rather naughty,you know

No,that letter No,no,not this time

As a result we are briefed to keep an eye on the Franklin Evans wing of the lab

Nothing must spill out and escape from the place

that isn't without a security control

is part of another building

and is properly open all hours day and night,and where? Just between ourselves

Any chance of co-operation from me and mate is bound to smithereens

by a little speech the minister sees it fit to toss at them at the unveiling

It's been no trouble of course and we are to do absolutely nothing

Funny just one of those little jobs makes us want to go away and shoot ourselves

Of course if we don't shot ourselves,so what do we do?

We make a little check of the staff,now let's be fair ,there is nothing wrong there

Everything is shipshape except one small point

Your Miss Byrne

Lucy Byrne?

She is with a fellow named Andrews,that's her own business

But Andrews is on some sort of terms with a man named Evans

sometimes is Evans sometimes is Brown

His real name maybe Parsons at the moment he calls himself Brown so we stick to that

We don't like Brown, we don't like him at all

Does Lucy know him?

Maybe yes,maybe no

She certainly met him

And that brings us to your Mr Marriott

Last week this girl takes him to a pub with Airman Andrews

And who turns up,and joins them? But our Mr Brown

Let's be fair I like to be fair, that could be pure chance

But now what happens, a night two later Marriott trots off to see Andrews again

And again Brown turns up

This time Marriott and Brown leave Andrews in a nice cosy pub

and go and converse in a biting north-east wind outside

Before they part

Brown hands Marriott a slip of paper, on which is written something

-Can I ask you a question? -Yes

-Does Marriott follow the tabloids? -Not the slightest interest

Then we can dismiss the possibility of it being a tip

for the selling paper the following day

It could of course be the phone number one of those young ladies

who specialize in artistic poses for old gentlemen,for box brownies

On the other hand it may well be something more interesting to us

Or would that in your opinion be going too far?

Well,if Brown is the man you say is,it is not a bit too far

Thank you,Doctor

Let still be fair,all this could have a perfectly normal explanation

In fact I thought there probably wasn't anything in it until this morning

When we got this

It is something quite outside the Haughton job,it tells that certain people

We are very interested in expect to receive some information

scientific information within the next 24 hours

These people know Brown, Brown know two of your staff

And at that point I begin to wonder whether one can be just a little bit too fair

What do you think?

It's most alarming

But I find it hard to believe that Lucy and Marriott

-You can't throw any light upon it -Sorry none at all

Oh dear,oh dear,then I have to start asking questions,don't like it you know

Then we don't like Brown do we? We don't like him at all

Get me the Haughton lab for Doctor Shole please

Yes,what's the address?

Doc wants us to take us around our stuff of the growth checks

can you spare me for an hour or two?

Yes,you go on

All right,Doc,with be there, as soon as I can

What he wants those for?

Any more harm in the general holding

Lucy

I shouldn't bother to come back, if I were you,it's not much point

-And I see you in the morning -OK

-Bye -Bye

Dear Lucy,not my dear Lucy, or darling just dear Lucy

They say sounds go on so maybe you catch some hanging about the place

if not it doesn't matter

I want to thank you for looking after me

for dressing me and knocking the door and buying the tickets

I hope you made a profit out of it

You can go now

Go on,go and get married, do you think I don't know

I scuppered him,scuppered your pink and white boy and you put him right in my lap

no one need to took the fleece off

he is such a fool he is bound to give himself over,why did you do it?

Oh,he is just been tensely than usual

What do I care about this country, what's it done for me

Look at me,look at me,look at me

It's bloody unfair,I wanted to write to you, I wanted to tell you

it wasn't possible,it wasn't decent and genuine

if you want a peck,keep a dog,and his lover over that

Why haven't you come back early?

You're never here when you are wanted

I scuppered him

Good Bye darling

Dictated but not signed by Mr Andrews

Look if only you was telling me what it is all about

what it is you want to know,perhaps I can be of more help?

-May I? -Yes,go ahead,Shole

Lucy,there is some questions of a security leak

-On the work? -Yes

I see

Now Miss Byrne,have you ever said or done anything that could lead to a leak?

No,of course not

How about Marriott?

Ever heard him talking out of turn?

-No -You're quite sure?

-Yes -Lucy,don't get this wrong

The leak hasn't happened yet

if we know where to look we may be able to stop it and nobody gets hurt

Now can you help us?

No

All right,never mind,Miss Byrne

I think we better toll along and have a word with our friend Andrews

You stay here and have a nice cup of tea

Please,can I come,he is not well, might upset him

All right,come along then

Smell of gas coming from somewhere down there

Excuse me

Get that window open

Smash it,smash it

He is dead isn't he

He must knew it would happen

Turned it on with his foot

He could turn it on with his foot

Let me have a look at him

Any brandy?

No

Better get some just in case

No I go, I know where

Well,Doc

Heard a shake,where is that girl gone?

Slater better get after and see

-Hi,Arthur -Good Night,Sir

I thought you were working late tonight,Sir

-No thanks,Good Night Arthur -Good Night,Mr Marriott

Some brandy please,Phil, can I use your phone quick

Sure,help yourself

-Anything I can do? -No,just the brandy

-Hello -Mr Marriott please

I'm afraid Mr Marriott hasn't come in yet

What time does he usually get in?

Well he is normally in before now,probably being held up

-Thank you -Good Bye

Looking for something?

Hello

Hello

Let's talk about this,Bob

Bob

-See you at the inquest -Yes,Good Night

Now Miss Byrne,you are playing games with us,aren't you?

When you left here ,who did you phone?

I never got through

Who were you trying to phone?

Bob Marriott

Why? What's Bob Marriott to you?

He is the man I work with

Why phone him?

I thought perhaps he should know about this

Why? Were you close friends?

Yes

You forget they only met two or three times,

they were bad for each other,you said so

What's Marriott to do with Andrew's death,where is Brown come into this?

Please what do you want me to

Just the truth,we haven't much time now

Come along now,why did you try to phone Marriott?

I thought

I thought if I could speak to him I..

..I could prevent him doing something silly

That wasn't very fair,was it?

That'll put him on his guard,and we get there the cupboard is bare

Very naughty,but you didn't get through so the cupboard may still be locked

You better go and see,come on

My hat

Were you taking it or bringing it back?

Taking it

You swear that no one has seen it?

Yes

Who were you taking it too?

I was meeting someone

-When? -Tonight

Why?

Whatever persisted you to do a thing like that

Somebody had to do something about it,hadn't they?

Whose responsibilities is it if it isn't ours?

Or do we just them go on dying

it was you yourself that you never felt so ashamed and frustrated

it was you who said if we got tuppence worth of gut we do something about it

What did you do about it,or Dr Sole,nothing

All right,you can't be bothered, you settle for comfort

Well I haven't,I'm still young enough to care what happens

You are young enough, Bob,to be sure you're right

I am old enough to be sure of only one thing,that I can be wrong

So because you don't know you let them snatch you out of the hands

And what you meant to be a help to people becomes a threat

Can you guarantee that these people you want to give it to

won't use it as a threat,and as a threat to us?

No I can't

You know I can't

Don't you see,Bob, without that guarantee you can't do a thing like this

You can't place us above the Law

Oh,God

What a mess

Let's see now,what happens next

I ring Shole,he isn't there

so I leave a message with his wife to ring me directly he gets in

I only hope they're going to believe all this

They have to,won't they?

Not necessary

Oh,dear Professor Sewell, so you got back in it again

Who the blazes are you, Shole,who is this man?

Mr Prince is our chief security officer

Lucy

Bob

No,not at the moment,Miss Byrne

I don't know why you are all here as it happens you come just at the right moment

I hope it might be

As a matter of fact we've been trying to get you

Oh,yes

I've wanted to tell you that one of my staff,Bob Marriott here

was recently approached by someone from outside the lab

His name is Brown?

You know all about Brown?

Well not all perhaps,suppose you tell me what you know about him

Nothing,personally it is Marriott here

Let's see now

Quite by chance he met him in a pub

Brown started to pump him about his work habits

fortunately Bob saw him through it right away

and just to make sure he was not on the wrong track

he arranged to meet him again, that's right,Bob?

Yes

This time,Brown pitched him some yarn about a International Scientific Exchange

then this afternoon over the phone he asked Bob to meet him tonight

and bring him the secret report on our work here

Bob having got him committed himself

immediately reported the matter to me

Clearly a matter for you people,I didn't where to get hold of you so I rang Shole

He wasn't there so I left a message with his wife

Asking him to ring directly when he came in and this is of course where I came in

Well,fair enough,in fact absolutely water tight

And there we were scaring ourselves to death

thinking you had half a mind to publish,Professor

And Mr Marriott to go the whole hog

Well,really does show how completely mistaken one can be

You see Slater,never trust your intuition

Oh,and told you about not trusting things

Brown,we don't like him,do we, don't like him at all

What time did you say you were meeting him?

Nine o'clock

Thank you driver

Bang on time

Yes,I just made it

-All right -Yes

Let me have it,you'll have it back before midnight

No,I don't let it out of my hands

It's got to get back in the lab before anybody gets there

You'll get it back

I'm sorry I can't take the chance

All right,come on

Hello,who is this?

I had to bring him with me he can't let the stuff out of his hands

You can't be too careful I suppose,let's have them

Make yourself comfortable, I'll be as quick as I can

I'm sorry about the mess but there isn't much money in this job,you know

Sorry no smoking,got to keep the air clear

You find a bottle of whisky if you look in the side board

I think you could do with a drink

Thanks I'm fine

Good Evening

How does it go?

-Shan't be long -Good

Good

Stop

What is it doctor?

What have you got my friend?

What you asked for

Watch him

Stay where you are

Whose idea is this?

What?

Quick,whose idea?

-I don't know what you mean -It's rubbish

It's nothing to do with me

Getting out

Stand still

Open up it's the police

Come along now,we know you are there,you're completely surrounded

There is no pointing making trouble, we'd rather not having trouble

Can't you persuade your friends to open the door, Mr Brown

Get them

Oh,Mr Brown I always wanted to meet you,and looking exactly as I fitted you

100 52 colonies

How many more does the Prof want?

Another 3000

24 now

Well if that what the prof wants, that what the prof gonna get

He certainly is

-Lucy,quick,you're wanted -What happened

It's Philips,he got Arthur at last,in the cage

But he mustn't he is on a diet

Miss Byrne

Look here ,Philips,if you don't get me the key

I'll be forced to report you to Professor Sewell

There will be no sanctions,come on now

Be a good catholic chimpanzee and give me the key,here Philips
