00:01:42,823 --> 00:01:45,990
It was in Cairo
that I first met Arthur Milton,
4
00:01:45,991 --> 00:01:48,489
only knew him a couple of days
and we got married.
5
00:01:48,490 --> 00:01:50,031
It was all a bit of a rush.
6
00:01:50,032 --> 00:01:51,865
You see, the police were after Arthur,
7
00:01:51,866 --> 00:01:53,907
so we spent our honeymoon on the run.
8
00:01:55,075 --> 00:01:56,698
Paris, Cape Town,
9
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:58,906
Singapore, Hong Kong.
10
00:01:58,907 --> 00:02:00,614
But it really wasn't much fun.
11
00:02:00,615 --> 00:02:03,533
It seems
the police wanted Arthur everywhere.
12
00:02:04,490 --> 00:02:06,990
We hid quite successfully
in Australia for a while,
13
00:02:06,991 --> 00:02:08,782
almost got to know the neighbours.
14
00:02:09,408 --> 00:02:12,907
Until one night, Arthur committed suicide.
15
00:02:12,908 --> 00:02:16,782
At least that's what the police thought
till they found out he was in London.
16
00:02:17,366 --> 00:02:20,448
My dear husband
had quite calmly walked out on me.
17
00:02:20,450 --> 00:02:24,115
He thought he could do a certain job
in London better on his own.
18
00:02:24,116 --> 00:02:26,322
Of all the stupid things to do.
19
00:02:26,323 --> 00:02:29,447
In London, Arthur was wanted
more than anywhere.
20
00:02:29,448 --> 00:02:32,114
The police picked up petty crooks
coming out of prison
21
00:02:32,115 --> 00:02:34,573
who might be able
to help them find The Ringer.
22
00:02:34,575 --> 00:02:36,948
Oh, that's what they call Arthur,
"The Ringer".
23
00:02:36,950 --> 00:02:38,531
I never quite knew why.
24
00:02:38,532 --> 00:02:42,822
Anyway, the police thought this fellow
Hackett here might know something.
25
00:02:42,823 --> 00:02:45,282
They soon whistled him
up to Scotland Yard.
26
00:02:45,283 --> 00:02:48,532
- Mr. Hackett, sir.
- All right, we won't keep you a moment.
27
00:02:48,533 --> 00:02:51,198
No, the assistant commissioner
isn't here yet. Right.
28
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,822
- There's this fellow Hackett who...
- Listen.
29
00:02:52,823 --> 00:02:55,698
Five, six years ago, I got him 18 months
in London session.
30
00:02:55,700 --> 00:02:57,073
A born liar.
31
00:02:57,075 --> 00:02:58,781
What do you think Hackett
knows about The Ringer?
32
00:02:58,782 --> 00:03:00,032
Well, he says he'd recognise him.
33
00:03:00,033 --> 00:03:02,073
I'd say anything to create a sensation.
34
00:03:02,075 --> 00:03:04,864
What if Hackett doesn't know The Ringer?
Who else is going to identify him?
35
00:03:04,865 --> 00:03:06,947
Well, you for one,
that's why you're on the case.
36
00:03:06,948 --> 00:03:09,240
Me? Never set eyes on him.
37
00:03:09,241 --> 00:03:11,823
Had his back turned to me
the day I tried to arrest him.
38
00:03:11,825 --> 00:03:13,740
No, The Ringer's clever, I hand it to him.
39
00:03:13,741 --> 00:03:15,157
You don't seem very happy, Bliss.
40
00:03:15,158 --> 00:03:17,448
Mr. Goodall's back in Washington.
41
00:03:17,450 --> 00:03:18,572
Had a soft job there.
42
00:03:18,573 --> 00:03:20,947
Checking scientists for the FBI, eh?
43
00:03:20,948 --> 00:03:23,657
Now you're back to the dull routine.
Too bad.
44
00:03:23,658 --> 00:03:26,323
If you'd been to America, Wembury,
they'd have kept you there.
45
00:03:26,325 --> 00:03:27,698
They wanted me back at the Yard.
46
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:30,823
I like your manners, I hate your modesty.
Come in, Sam.
47
00:03:30,825 --> 00:03:31,991
Hello, Mr. Wembury.
48
00:03:32,532 --> 00:03:35,072
You're looking bright and healthy.
How's the family?
49
00:03:35,073 --> 00:03:36,532
There isn't any family, Sam.
50
00:03:36,533 --> 00:03:39,406
And please forget about it too, eh?
Good morning, sir.
51
00:03:39,407 --> 00:03:40,907
You remember Mr. Bliss.
52
00:03:40,908 --> 00:03:43,073
Bliss? Bliss...
53
00:03:43,075 --> 00:03:44,657
Here, you've changed a bit, haven't you?
54
00:03:44,658 --> 00:03:46,615
Where'd you get all the moss from?
55
00:03:46,616 --> 00:03:47,782
But I wouldn't have recognised you.
56
00:03:47,783 --> 00:03:49,489
Straight up,
I wouldn't have recognised him.
57
00:03:49,490 --> 00:03:51,490
Oh, uh, this is the man, sir.
58
00:03:52,450 --> 00:03:54,323
- Morning, Mr. Hackett.
- Morning, sir.
59
00:03:54,325 --> 00:03:56,115
I nice little pitch you've got
around here,
60
00:03:56,116 --> 00:03:57,822
all made out of thieving and murder.
61
00:03:57,823 --> 00:04:00,407
We had a letter from you, Hackett,
when you were in prison. Where is it?
62
00:04:00,408 --> 00:04:02,282
Here it is, sir.
63
00:04:02,283 --> 00:04:04,490
Ah, yes, thank you.
64
00:04:04,491 --> 00:04:06,947
"Yes, sir, this comes
hoping to find you well
65
00:04:06,948 --> 00:04:08,907
and all kind friends at Scotland Yard."
66
00:04:08,908 --> 00:04:10,448
Yes, well, I didn't know Bliss was back.
67
00:04:10,450 --> 00:04:13,740
"There's a lot of talk about The Ringer
here, him that was drowned in Australia.
68
00:04:13,741 --> 00:04:17,322
Yes, sir, I can tell you a lot about him
now that he's departed from this life.
69
00:04:17,323 --> 00:04:19,032
RIP.
70
00:04:19,033 --> 00:04:22,657
As I once see him, though only
for a second and I knew where he lodged."
71
00:04:22,658 --> 00:04:24,947
- Is that true?
- Yes, sir. We lodged in the same house.
72
00:04:24,948 --> 00:04:26,157
Then you know what he looks like.
73
00:04:26,158 --> 00:04:28,365
Oh, well, sir, what he did look like.
74
00:04:28,366 --> 00:04:30,448
I don't recognise him
not having his wings.
75
00:04:30,450 --> 00:04:32,283
- Wings?
- Yes, uh...
76
00:04:33,283 --> 00:04:35,157
Unfortunately, The Ringer's alive.
77
00:04:35,158 --> 00:04:37,241
Yeah?
78
00:04:39,075 --> 00:04:41,115
- The Ringer alive?
- Very much alive.
79
00:04:41,116 --> 00:04:42,825
Well, I'll say thanks very much.
80
00:04:43,991 --> 00:04:45,825
- Good morning all.
- Just a minute, Hackett.
81
00:04:47,241 --> 00:04:48,782
What do you know
about him?
82
00:04:48,783 --> 00:04:51,573
Nothing, sir. Straight up,
without any madam.
83
00:04:51,575 --> 00:04:54,075
- Any what?
- Madam, without turning the tail, sir.
84
00:04:54,616 --> 00:04:57,282
In this letter, you expressed
your willingness to act as an informer.
85
00:04:57,283 --> 00:05:00,032
Uh, maybe so on a dead man
but not on a live Ringer,
86
00:05:00,033 --> 00:05:01,990
not much, not me.
87
00:05:01,991 --> 00:05:04,325
If you can help us,
we may be able to help you one day.
88
00:05:05,116 --> 00:05:06,947
Not if I was dead, you couldn't.
89
00:05:06,948 --> 00:05:09,657
You or anybody else, and that's what
I'll be if I went nosing on The Ringer.
90
00:05:09,658 --> 00:05:12,073
He's yellow like the rest of his kind.
91
00:05:12,075 --> 00:05:14,740
Always the same story
when their own skins are in danger.
92
00:05:14,741 --> 00:05:17,407
Here, you've been closer to him
than I have.
93
00:05:17,408 --> 00:05:19,197
He nearly done you once,
what's keeping you back?
94
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:21,782
Come on, Hackett. Tell us what you know.
What are you afraid of?
95
00:05:21,783 --> 00:05:24,072
Well, same as he is, sir.
96
00:05:24,073 --> 00:05:25,782
Now, I-- I'm sorry,
97
00:05:25,783 --> 00:05:28,740
I'd been brought up here
in what is termed a misapprehension.
98
00:05:28,741 --> 00:05:29,782
I'll say good morning, all.
99
00:05:29,783 --> 00:05:32,448
Don't trouble.
Won't be long before we see you again.
100
00:05:32,450 --> 00:05:34,573
Yes, and it's the one thing
that will keep me straight, Bliss,
101
00:05:34,575 --> 00:05:35,698
the thought of seeing you again.
102
00:05:35,700 --> 00:05:37,156
All right, Hackett,
that's enough, thank you.
103
00:05:37,157 --> 00:05:39,532
Who's this man
The Ringer is supposed to be after?
104
00:05:39,533 --> 00:05:40,865
Meister, a Maurice Meister.
105
00:05:40,866 --> 00:05:42,782
Better let Meister know
The Ringer's back.
106
00:05:42,783 --> 00:05:44,240
- Right, sir.
- What?
107
00:05:44,241 --> 00:05:47,073
The Ringer back
and Meister doesn't know it?
108
00:05:47,075 --> 00:05:48,614
That ain't half a laugh, innit, eh?
109
00:05:51,116 --> 00:05:52,158
Oy, you.
110
00:05:53,698 --> 00:05:56,907
- What, you called me? Mr. Meister in?
- Are you a friend of his?
111
00:05:56,908 --> 00:05:58,532
Yes, we went
to different schools together.
112
00:05:58,533 --> 00:05:59,489
Well, he's busy.
113
00:05:59,490 --> 00:06:02,073
Well, he won't be too busy to see me
when he finds out what I'm gonna tell him.
114
00:06:02,075 --> 00:06:03,948
My dear Mr. Bell,
115
00:06:03,950 --> 00:06:07,448
how can I give you advice as a lawyer
on a matter which is outside the law?
116
00:06:07,450 --> 00:06:09,115
Please be logical.
117
00:06:09,116 --> 00:06:10,697
Is there anything-- Hello, Hackett.
118
00:06:10,698 --> 00:06:12,490
How do, guv, can I have a word with you?
119
00:06:12,491 --> 00:06:15,865
Sit down, I shan't be a moment.
Is there anything else
120
00:06:15,866 --> 00:06:17,448
- you want to talk about?
- No, that's about everything.
121
00:06:17,450 --> 00:06:18,615
Shouldn't be any trouble with this job.
122
00:06:18,616 --> 00:06:19,907
You'd appreciate
how well organised we are...
123
00:06:19,908 --> 00:06:22,989
Please. Please, don't tell me anything
about it. It's no concern of mine.
124
00:06:22,990 --> 00:06:24,573
Pretty concerned
with the results, though, aren't you?
125
00:06:24,575 --> 00:06:27,407
My dear fellow,
I give you the benefit of my intelligence
126
00:06:27,408 --> 00:06:29,032
- and that is all.
- All right, all right.
127
00:06:29,033 --> 00:06:30,281
Santa Claus, have it your own way.
128
00:06:30,282 --> 00:06:32,114
- Didn't know you were out.
- Yes, I'm out, boy.
129
00:06:32,115 --> 00:06:33,406
When are you going in?
130
00:06:33,407 --> 00:06:35,907
- People like Mr. Bell don't, do they?
- Any jobs going?
131
00:06:35,908 --> 00:06:36,948
Not your class, chum.
132
00:06:36,950 --> 00:06:38,740
I see. Snob stuff, eh?
133
00:06:38,741 --> 00:06:39,740
Not the right accent.
134
00:06:40,283 --> 00:06:41,575
By the way, there is one thing.
135
00:06:42,198 --> 00:06:45,283
There's a night watchman,
place of accident, we're counting on you.
136
00:06:46,075 --> 00:06:49,157
You'd find it difficult
to remove the absurd prejudice of a jury
137
00:06:49,158 --> 00:06:52,239
against a defendant
who killed an elderly night watchman.
138
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,866
There's nothing amateur about
the work of our organisation, Meister.
139
00:06:55,408 --> 00:06:56,989
Who should know that better than you?
140
00:06:56,990 --> 00:06:58,198
Bye, Mr. Bell.
141
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,656
When did they turn you loose, Hackett?
142
00:06:59,657 --> 00:07:02,823
- Today. I came straight here.
- How nice of you, why?
143
00:07:02,825 --> 00:07:05,740
I've got a bit of information for you,
worth a couple of farthings, at least.
144
00:07:05,741 --> 00:07:07,656
Don't tell me you've knocked off
the chief warden's wife.
145
00:07:07,657 --> 00:07:08,865
No, I had a good butcher's,
146
00:07:08,866 --> 00:07:10,157
it wasn't worth pinching.
147
00:07:10,158 --> 00:07:11,407
But I tell you I've got something.
148
00:07:11,408 --> 00:07:12,657
- Sir, I beg your pardon.
- I've got a bit of information
149
00:07:12,658 --> 00:07:14,448
- that'll paralyse you!
- Yes, Lisa?
150
00:07:14,450 --> 00:07:15,948
There are two gentlemen to see you.
151
00:07:15,950 --> 00:07:16,906
Who are they?
152
00:07:16,907 --> 00:07:18,491
They say they are from the police.
153
00:07:19,115 --> 00:07:20,115
Well, show them in, my dear.
154
00:07:20,116 --> 00:07:21,073
All right.
155
00:07:22,533 --> 00:07:25,615
I tell you what, guv, I'll let you
have that bit of info for a fiver.
156
00:07:25,616 --> 00:07:27,407
I'm not interested
in your nonsense, Hackett.
157
00:07:27,408 --> 00:07:29,616
Well, a couple of quid, then.
You'll be sorry.
158
00:07:30,158 --> 00:07:33,114
Blimey, don't you bogies move fast
when there ain't no hurry?
159
00:07:33,115 --> 00:07:34,573
- Good morning.
- Morning.
160
00:07:34,575 --> 00:07:36,364
Oh, would you take Mr. Hackett next door,
my dear,
161
00:07:36,365 --> 00:07:38,072
whilst I speak to these gentlemen?
162
00:07:38,073 --> 00:07:41,698
Bearers of bad news used to have their
heads cut off, Hackett, you're lucky.
163
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:44,906
Lucky? I haven't had a chance
to tell him anything yet.
164
00:07:44,907 --> 00:07:47,323
Afraid I can't give you very much time,
it's now ten past 11,
165
00:07:47,325 --> 00:07:49,365
I have to defend
at Greenwich Police Court.
166
00:07:49,366 --> 00:07:52,990
Things might go badly
with my poor client if I'm not there.
167
00:07:52,991 --> 00:07:55,240
But the course of justice
might go more smoothly.
168
00:07:55,241 --> 00:07:57,032
That's a matter of opinion.
169
00:07:57,033 --> 00:07:59,240
- Would you care for a drink, gentlemen?
- Thank you, not now.
170
00:07:59,241 --> 00:08:00,948
- Have we met before?
- I'm sorry.
171
00:08:00,950 --> 00:08:02,864
Chief Inspector Bliss, Mr. Meister.
172
00:08:02,865 --> 00:08:06,322
Mr. Meister is a very successful lawyer
with a large practise in Deptford.
173
00:08:06,323 --> 00:08:07,990
Funny district to choose.
174
00:08:07,991 --> 00:08:12,198
He's a kind of a squire, Mr. Meister of
Flanders Lane, and behaves like one too.
175
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,072
- How so?
- Looks after his people,
176
00:08:14,073 --> 00:08:16,490
defends them if they're in trouble
and if they go to prison,
177
00:08:16,491 --> 00:08:18,198
Mr. Meister supports the relatives.
178
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,781
Do I have to be suspect
because I help these unfortunate people?
179
00:08:20,782 --> 00:08:23,448
Suspect, my dear Meister?
Who would mention the word?
180
00:08:23,991 --> 00:08:25,490
As far as the police are concerned,
181
00:08:25,491 --> 00:08:28,365
Mr. Meister's actions
are motivated entirely by kindness.
182
00:08:28,366 --> 00:08:30,989
I've always had a very great regard
for the intelligence of the police
183
00:08:30,990 --> 00:08:33,072
- but...
- Take a bow, Bliss.
184
00:08:33,073 --> 00:08:35,907
Gentlemen, what can I do for you?
Excuse me.
185
00:08:35,908 --> 00:08:38,532
- Why have you called?
- We were just coming to that.
186
00:08:38,533 --> 00:08:41,406
There was a girl
whom you took into your employment.
187
00:08:41,407 --> 00:08:43,364
Her name was Gwenda Milken,
188
00:08:43,365 --> 00:08:44,908
assisted The Ringer.
189
00:08:45,573 --> 00:08:49,115
She was found drowned.
190
00:08:50,073 --> 00:08:52,782
That is a tragedy
I don't care to be reminded of.
191
00:08:52,783 --> 00:08:54,657
Neither should I if I were in your shoes.
192
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,157
What does that mean?
193
00:08:56,158 --> 00:08:58,740
I shouldn't care
to have The Ringer as an enemy.
194
00:08:58,741 --> 00:09:01,615
- The Ringer died in Australia.
- What makes you think that?
195
00:09:01,616 --> 00:09:04,990
It's common knowledge, my dear chap,
it was reported in the press months ago.
196
00:09:04,991 --> 00:09:06,906
Perhaps it hasn't yet reached
the ears of the police.
197
00:09:06,907 --> 00:09:08,322
He left his sister in your care.
198
00:09:08,323 --> 00:09:09,575
Why did she end her life?
199
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,240
My dear fellow, why do women
end their lives? I don't know.
200
00:09:13,241 --> 00:09:15,657
There's one reason
as old as the hills and you know it.
201
00:09:15,658 --> 00:09:17,365
Oh, melodrama, Wembury.
202
00:09:17,366 --> 00:09:19,281
You'd arranged for her
to go into a nursing home.
203
00:09:19,282 --> 00:09:21,282
It didn't come out at the inquest.
204
00:09:21,283 --> 00:09:24,489
Nobody knew about it
but Scotland Yard and Henry Arthur Milton.
205
00:09:24,490 --> 00:09:26,408
Scotland Yard couldn't do anything
about it.
206
00:09:26,948 --> 00:09:29,907
And Mr. Milton is dead.
207
00:09:29,908 --> 00:09:32,073
Afraid we must disillusion you about that.
208
00:09:32,075 --> 00:09:34,573
Mr. Milton is here.
209
00:09:36,908 --> 00:09:39,032
Hasn't it come over the grapevine
that The Ringer's back?
210
00:09:39,033 --> 00:09:40,283
It hasn't.
211
00:09:40,825 --> 00:09:42,741
And not a bird moves in Deptford
but I know it.
212
00:09:43,283 --> 00:09:45,073
Someone is fooling you,
Inspector.
213
00:09:45,075 --> 00:09:48,157
The Ringer's here and he's alive.
Get that into your head.
214
00:09:48,158 --> 00:09:50,448
We've come here to warn you.
215
00:09:50,450 --> 00:09:52,573
Warn me, but why?
216
00:09:54,573 --> 00:09:56,741
Look, get out, will you? Do it later.
217
00:10:01,491 --> 00:10:02,782
Warn me, why?
218
00:10:02,783 --> 00:10:04,948
Don't strike attitude,
you're not in the police court.
219
00:10:04,950 --> 00:10:07,990
We think he may have an idea
he has an account to settle.
220
00:10:07,991 --> 00:10:09,741
- With me?
- Who else?
221
00:10:13,366 --> 00:10:15,741
His sister was my secretary
and that was all.
222
00:10:16,283 --> 00:10:19,283
Well, you better explain that
pretty quickly to him when you meet him.
223
00:10:20,033 --> 00:10:21,700
My dear fellow, why should I meet him?
224
00:10:22,241 --> 00:10:24,906
I've never seen him in my life,
I don't know the man.
225
00:10:24,907 --> 00:10:27,865
If he's back here with a life sentence
hanging over him, why don't you get him?
226
00:10:27,866 --> 00:10:29,615
Oh, it's so easy to get The Ringer.
227
00:10:29,616 --> 00:10:31,573
Well, get his wife, Cora Ann.
228
00:10:31,575 --> 00:10:34,616
Wherever she is, he is.
He's crazy about her.
229
00:10:35,158 --> 00:10:37,241
I mean, he was.
230
00:10:38,158 --> 00:10:39,739
Do you mean to say
you're serious about all this?
231
00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:41,115
- Yes.
- She's the crazy one.
232
00:10:41,116 --> 00:10:43,198
She followed him to Australia.
233
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,323
Well, whoever follows who,
234
00:10:45,325 --> 00:10:48,282
the one is never very far from the other.
Get her and you get him.
235
00:10:48,283 --> 00:10:49,990
We're not worried about her.
236
00:10:49,991 --> 00:10:51,197
You're our immediate worry.
237
00:10:51,198 --> 00:10:54,698
Yes, and Meister, you'd better warn
some of your clients we're around.
238
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:57,157
The last person they want to see
is a police officer.
239
00:10:57,158 --> 00:11:00,407
And, uh, don't admit anybody after dark,
240
00:11:00,408 --> 00:11:02,406
never leave the house
except with a police escort,
241
00:11:02,407 --> 00:11:04,115
and have some shutters
put on those windows.
242
00:11:04,116 --> 00:11:05,240
Shutters, guv?
243
00:11:05,241 --> 00:11:06,240
No good now, you know.
244
00:11:06,241 --> 00:11:08,032
Well, what do you advise?
245
00:11:08,033 --> 00:11:09,865
Nothing short of steel bars.
246
00:11:09,866 --> 00:11:12,198
And another thing,
see that the rivets are on the inside.
247
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,282
Stay there.
248
00:11:13,283 --> 00:11:17,032
The day you take him, I'll give
1,000 pounds to the police orphanage.
249
00:11:17,033 --> 00:11:19,157
We don't need money so badly as that.
250
00:11:19,158 --> 00:11:21,323
Well, give it
to the Prisoner's Aid Association, guv.
251
00:11:21,325 --> 00:11:22,948
I'll have a look around here for a bit,
Wembury.
252
00:11:22,950 --> 00:11:24,531
- Right.
- Cover the garden and grounds.
253
00:11:24,532 --> 00:11:26,448
No objection, I take it, Mr. Meister?
254
00:11:26,450 --> 00:11:28,907
Must flatter you to have the police
looking after your interests?
255
00:11:28,908 --> 00:11:30,615
I'm tickled pink, my dear fellow.
256
00:11:30,616 --> 00:11:33,032
Now Hackett here
is supposed to know The Ringer.
257
00:11:33,033 --> 00:11:36,198
It might not be a bad idea if you kept him
on the premises, he could tip you off.
258
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,157
What, me sit in the bullseye?
And The Ringer a dead shot?
259
00:11:39,158 --> 00:11:40,907
What do you mean, tip me off?
260
00:11:40,908 --> 00:11:42,823
It surely is the responsibility
of the police.
261
00:11:42,825 --> 00:11:43,990
The Ringer is a murderer.
262
00:11:43,991 --> 00:11:45,698
- We couldn't prove it.
- But you know it.
263
00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:48,823
Knowledge is not proof, no one
should know that better than you, Meister.
264
00:11:48,825 --> 00:11:51,157
The Ringer got rid of a couple of people
the police were glad to be rid of.
265
00:11:51,158 --> 00:11:53,157
Yes, you're dead right there, they was.
266
00:11:53,158 --> 00:11:55,157
So the police shut their eyes.
267
00:11:55,158 --> 00:11:58,698
You're an offensive character, Meister.
The police never shut their eyes.
268
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:01,239
You take my advice,
you keep this fellow Hackett around.
269
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,407
You want an honest job, Sam?
270
00:12:02,408 --> 00:12:04,157
Oh, no, sir, no qualifications.
271
00:12:04,158 --> 00:12:06,575
Come on, take it,
it's easy money for a change.
272
00:12:07,115 --> 00:12:09,322
Mr. Meister would pay you well,
wouldn't you, Meister?
273
00:12:09,323 --> 00:12:11,490
Well, this is all very silly game,
I must say.
274
00:12:11,491 --> 00:12:13,489
Maybe but I'd take my advice
if I were you.
275
00:12:13,490 --> 00:12:15,447
Still, if the police insist...
276
00:12:15,448 --> 00:12:17,073
and if he makes himself useful
about the house,
277
00:12:17,075 --> 00:12:19,157
I'm prepared to pay him
a few pounds and his keep.
278
00:12:19,158 --> 00:12:20,115
What, me live here?
279
00:12:20,116 --> 00:12:22,323
The house not comfortable enough
for you, Mr. Hackett?
280
00:12:22,325 --> 00:12:24,198
Oh, no, too unhealthy.
281
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,532
Come on, Sam, what do you say?
282
00:12:25,533 --> 00:12:26,531
Now look here, guv'nor.
283
00:12:26,532 --> 00:12:27,572
The Ringer might bump him off
284
00:12:27,573 --> 00:12:29,408
before I get my pay packet, see?
285
00:12:29,950 --> 00:12:31,490
Here, I'll tell you what I'll do, though.
286
00:12:31,491 --> 00:12:33,448
You make it a daily rate
and I'll chance it.
287
00:12:33,450 --> 00:12:34,864
Now look here, Hackett, I'm a busy man.
288
00:12:34,865 --> 00:12:37,615
Sam, the first thing you've got to do
is to make this house burglar proof.
289
00:12:37,616 --> 00:12:40,407
Yes, but you know that's impossible,
Mr. Wembury.
290
00:12:40,408 --> 00:12:41,657
Anyway, I'll do my best.
291
00:12:41,658 --> 00:12:44,533
Good. Get a move on,
get everything done by tonight if you can.
292
00:12:45,075 --> 00:12:46,616
Good morning, Mr. Meister.
293
00:12:47,283 --> 00:12:49,366
- Sam.
- Bye, sir.
294
00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:52,156
Now don't worry, guv.
295
00:12:52,157 --> 00:12:54,364
I don't want to see The Ringer
any more than you do.
296
00:13:05,491 --> 00:13:06,533
The police,
297
00:13:07,282 --> 00:13:09,865
they asked for me and my papers.
298
00:13:12,116 --> 00:13:14,447
Uh, yes dear, but, um...
299
00:13:14,448 --> 00:13:16,781
- Don't worry, I dealt with them.
- But--
300
00:13:16,782 --> 00:13:19,032
But you told them I wait for Johnny.
301
00:13:19,033 --> 00:13:20,907
- That wouldn't have been wise.
- Why not?
302
00:13:20,908 --> 00:13:22,573
Why not? My dear Lisa,
303
00:13:22,575 --> 00:13:25,698
because Johnny is serving a sentence.
304
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:28,407
Whatever he is in your eyes,
in theirs he's a criminal.
305
00:13:28,408 --> 00:13:29,990
Wouldn't exactly commend you to the police
306
00:13:29,991 --> 00:13:32,200
if I told them
you were waiting to marry Johnny.
307
00:13:32,741 --> 00:13:34,323
Oh, well.
308
00:13:34,325 --> 00:13:36,322
Johnny was foolish, that's all.
309
00:13:36,323 --> 00:13:38,698
You don't get a four-year sentence
just for foolishness.
310
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:41,239
- He wanted money quickly to marry me.
- I know, I know.
311
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,115
And those crooks promised him money. Well,
312
00:13:43,116 --> 00:13:46,033
if you associate yourselves
with crooks, you have to be clever.
313
00:13:47,115 --> 00:13:50,115
And Johnny wasn't clever,
he gets himself caught,
314
00:13:50,658 --> 00:13:53,032
leaves his girl at the mercy of the world.
315
00:13:53,033 --> 00:13:55,616
What sort of a man is that
to pin your faith to, hmm?
316
00:13:56,158 --> 00:13:58,491
Faithfulness, my dear,
can be carried too far.
317
00:13:59,033 --> 00:13:59,989
Come, that's ridiculous.
318
00:13:59,990 --> 00:14:01,658
What did you tell the police?
319
00:14:02,783 --> 00:14:03,700
Do they--
320
00:14:04,241 --> 00:14:05,657
do they want to send me out of England?
321
00:14:05,658 --> 00:14:08,365
No, no, no, they won't.
322
00:14:08,366 --> 00:14:11,283
Not as long as you are here
under my wing, as it were.
323
00:14:11,825 --> 00:14:13,406
Police have a high regard for me,
you know.
324
00:14:13,407 --> 00:14:16,406
Yes, but-- but do they know
I'm not a criminal?
325
00:14:16,407 --> 00:14:19,406
Well, did you explain to them
how it happened?
326
00:14:19,407 --> 00:14:21,614
That I came in with Johnny
on a visitor's permit,
327
00:14:21,615 --> 00:14:23,366
that we were going to get married.
328
00:14:24,450 --> 00:14:27,448
Well, I've done nothing wrong
to stay in this country to wait for him.
329
00:14:27,450 --> 00:14:28,907
Nothing wrong?
330
00:14:29,698 --> 00:14:32,740
Remaining in a country
after the expiration of your visa...
331
00:14:32,741 --> 00:14:34,782
...my dear child.
332
00:14:35,325 --> 00:14:36,575
But I've seen to that.
333
00:14:37,115 --> 00:14:39,823
I give you protection here,
I give you sanctuary.
334
00:14:39,825 --> 00:14:41,907
- What's that?
- Sanctuary?
335
00:14:41,908 --> 00:14:44,491
Oh, a roof over your head, food, clothes.
336
00:14:45,366 --> 00:14:48,698
- And, I hope, a little friendship.
- But of course.
337
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,907
And I'm very grateful to you
for letting me work here.
338
00:14:51,908 --> 00:14:54,283
You're very good at it too, my dear.
339
00:14:55,283 --> 00:14:57,281
I wish you weren't as good at, uh...
340
00:14:57,282 --> 00:14:58,490
...waiting for Johnny.
341
00:14:59,450 --> 00:15:02,948
As if your only role in life
was to wait for Johnny.
342
00:15:02,950 --> 00:15:05,408
I'm afraid it is.
343
00:15:05,950 --> 00:15:08,323
It's a role many women like, hmm?
344
00:15:08,325 --> 00:15:11,865
Gives them immunity, untouchability.
345
00:15:12,407 --> 00:15:15,490
- It's also full of tricks.
- I have no tricks.
346
00:15:15,491 --> 00:15:17,865
Oh, that would be very boring, Lisa, dear.
347
00:15:18,407 --> 00:15:21,700
Are you sure you wouldn't rather
I took a job somewhere else?
348
00:15:22,491 --> 00:15:25,908
But you couldn't get a job anywhere else,
Lisa, you have no papers.
349
00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:27,698
But why argue?
350
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:30,032
You like it here, don't you? And you
could hardly call me a slave driver.
351
00:15:30,033 --> 00:15:33,614
- Oh, no, no. You're kind.
- Then what are we arguing about?
352
00:15:33,615 --> 00:15:35,240
Look, uh,
353
00:15:35,241 --> 00:15:37,448
run along now, finish your work.
354
00:15:37,450 --> 00:15:40,156
I'm busy this afternoon
but I'll see you at dinner.
355
00:15:40,157 --> 00:15:41,241
Oh, Lisa.
356
00:15:41,866 --> 00:15:42,823
Smile.
357
00:15:42,825 --> 00:15:45,325
I said smile, smile a little.
358
00:15:46,575 --> 00:15:48,158
Oh, yes.
359
00:16:22,990 --> 00:16:23,948
Mr. Meister.
360
00:16:23,950 --> 00:16:25,865
I'm just going outside
to have a look round, guv.
361
00:16:30,616 --> 00:16:32,200
Here!
362
00:16:33,450 --> 00:16:35,032
I've got a job of work for you.
363
00:16:35,033 --> 00:16:38,197
- I want bars, bars everywhere.
- Right?
364
00:16:38,198 --> 00:16:40,782
And I don't mean the kind of bars
where you get the old half pint, see?
365
00:16:40,783 --> 00:16:44,115
I want flipping great bars
on all them windows.
366
00:16:44,116 --> 00:16:45,489
Here, who are you?
367
00:16:45,490 --> 00:16:48,614
The Minister of Defence, strictly protem,
368
00:16:48,615 --> 00:16:49,656
see?
369
00:17:19,615 --> 00:17:21,989
Four men to guard a crook's house
370
00:17:21,990 --> 00:17:24,740
and the Metropolitan police
2,000 under strength, sir.
371
00:17:24,741 --> 00:17:28,575
Never inquire into
the mysteries of Scotland Yard, Carter.
372
00:17:29,450 --> 00:17:31,197
- Oh, morning, miss.
- Morning.
373
00:17:31,198 --> 00:17:33,073
My name's Cora Ann Milton.
374
00:17:33,075 --> 00:17:36,115
I'm an American citizen.
This is my passport.
375
00:17:36,116 --> 00:17:37,572
Tend to that right away, will you, Carter?
376
00:17:37,573 --> 00:17:38,656
- Oh, right, sir.
- I've come to register
377
00:17:38,657 --> 00:17:41,157
my change of address.
I'm moving down to this district.
378
00:17:41,158 --> 00:17:42,491
Ah, right, miss.
379
00:17:44,408 --> 00:17:47,366
I wish
I didn't know so much about criminology.
380
00:17:47,908 --> 00:17:51,865
I find other books on this subject
remarkably unenlightening.
381
00:17:51,866 --> 00:17:53,489
Consequently, I never read them.
382
00:17:53,490 --> 00:17:58,282
But then that makes me wonder
whether anybody will ever read mine.
383
00:17:58,283 --> 00:18:00,157
Wembury, will you have a wee nip?
384
00:18:00,158 --> 00:18:03,156
- Carter.
- Never become too erudite, Wembury.
385
00:18:03,157 --> 00:18:04,989
Never become an expert.
386
00:18:04,990 --> 00:18:07,157
Life becomes too dull.
387
00:18:07,158 --> 00:18:10,365
You know, the older I get
the more I become convinced that
388
00:18:10,366 --> 00:18:13,115
cross examination
remains the only art left
389
00:18:13,116 --> 00:18:14,073
to the criminologist,
390
00:18:14,075 --> 00:18:15,448
- will I ever convince you of that?
- Sir?
391
00:18:15,450 --> 00:18:16,989
- No. Carter.
- Yes, sir?
392
00:18:16,990 --> 00:18:18,657
Do you know anything
about this report from B division?
393
00:18:18,658 --> 00:18:20,365
- B division, sir?
- Carter.
394
00:18:20,950 --> 00:18:23,448
Keep that woman here,
find out something wrong with her papers
395
00:18:23,450 --> 00:18:25,198
and send her in in a couple of minutes.
396
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,325
Oh, right, sir.
397
00:18:27,115 --> 00:18:29,283
- Who is she?
- Cora Ann Milton.
398
00:18:30,325 --> 00:18:31,866
Cora Ann.
399
00:18:34,991 --> 00:18:37,281
Cora Ann.
400
00:18:37,282 --> 00:18:39,740
Pretty name. Pretty woman, too.
401
00:18:39,741 --> 00:18:42,573
- Wife of The Ringer.
- The Ringer?
402
00:18:42,575 --> 00:18:44,072
A very dangerous customer.
403
00:18:44,073 --> 00:18:47,282
- Yeah, but why do you call him The Ringer?
- Rings the changes
404
00:18:47,283 --> 00:18:50,990
- in his personal appearance.
- Really? But then don't they all?
405
00:18:50,991 --> 00:18:52,450
Not like this one. He's unique.
406
00:18:53,241 --> 00:18:55,990
In Deptford, they say
he can change the colour of his eyes.
407
00:18:55,991 --> 00:18:58,948
- So they turned him into a legend, eh?
- Hmm.
408
00:18:58,950 --> 00:19:00,282
What's he look like?
409
00:19:00,283 --> 00:19:01,323
Descriptions?
410
00:19:01,325 --> 00:19:04,823
Several descriptions, all poles apart.
No photographs.
411
00:19:04,825 --> 00:19:07,700
We've got this drawing here
made by Stuart on a boat.
412
00:19:08,241 --> 00:19:09,198
That's all.
413
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,865
And why this sudden interest
in The Ringer?
414
00:19:11,866 --> 00:19:14,822
Well, he's suppose to have died in
Australia, but the Yard weren't convinced.
415
00:19:14,823 --> 00:19:17,365
You see, people like The Ringer,
they just don't die in Australia.
416
00:19:17,366 --> 00:19:18,783
True.
417
00:19:19,783 --> 00:19:21,448
The Yard had a report that he was here.
418
00:19:21,450 --> 00:19:23,782
We weren't convinced of that either.
419
00:19:23,783 --> 00:19:26,032
At least I wasn't, not till now.
420
00:19:26,033 --> 00:19:28,657
And what complicated process of deduction
leaves you
421
00:19:28,658 --> 00:19:30,865
from the presence of Cora Ann Milton here
422
00:19:30,866 --> 00:19:32,948
to the suspicion that her husband's alive?
423
00:19:32,950 --> 00:19:35,032
Well, that's just what I hope to find out
in a minute.
424
00:19:35,033 --> 00:19:38,115
Now Wembury, why don't you let me
try my hand on her?
425
00:19:38,116 --> 00:19:39,615
Mm, heaven forbid.
426
00:19:39,616 --> 00:19:43,282
The powers of cross examination
scientifically applied
427
00:19:43,283 --> 00:19:44,907
should never be underrated.
428
00:19:44,908 --> 00:19:46,698
- Oh, excuse me, sir.
- Yes, what is it?
429
00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:47,823
There seems to be something wrong
430
00:19:47,825 --> 00:19:48,782
- with this permit, sir.
- All right. All right.
431
00:19:48,783 --> 00:19:50,407
Ask Mrs. Milton to come in.
432
00:19:50,408 --> 00:19:52,322
I was coming in, in any case.
433
00:19:52,323 --> 00:19:53,782
Where my passport goes, I go.
434
00:19:53,783 --> 00:19:55,865
It's one of the things
I don't like out of my sight.
435
00:19:55,866 --> 00:19:58,157
Quite right. Won't you sit down?
436
00:19:58,158 --> 00:20:00,032
This is Dr. Lomond, he's quite harmless.
437
00:20:00,033 --> 00:20:01,740
- Hmm, that's too bad.
- How do you do?
438
00:20:01,741 --> 00:20:04,822
This isn't your first visit to London,
is it, Mrs. Milton?
439
00:20:04,823 --> 00:20:06,282
No, it's all in the book there.
440
00:20:06,283 --> 00:20:08,989
Ah, yes, I see. Now, did you arrive alone?
441
00:20:08,990 --> 00:20:10,865
Except for a planeload of other people, yes.
442
00:20:10,866 --> 00:20:13,740
I mean, essentially alone,
you were not accompanied by your husband?
443
00:20:13,741 --> 00:20:16,032
No, sir. Nor my mother or any of my aunts.
444
00:20:16,033 --> 00:20:18,782
That was very careless of your husband.
445
00:20:18,783 --> 00:20:19,948
Do you allow that kind of remark?
446
00:20:19,950 --> 00:20:22,698
Dr. Lomond is our police surgeon,
they're not strictly on the force,
447
00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:25,782
but we allow them a little latitude,
of course, but not too much.
448
00:20:25,783 --> 00:20:28,698
Well, now isn't that nice?
And I'm just dying to talk to somebody.
449
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:30,615
What's the best show in London, anyway?
450
00:20:30,616 --> 00:20:34,989
The best show in London, Mrs. Milton,
is Scotland Yard.
451
00:20:34,990 --> 00:20:37,532
Melodrama without music,
452
00:20:37,533 --> 00:20:40,489
and you, the leading lady.
453
00:20:40,490 --> 00:20:41,740
What am I leading?
454
00:20:41,741 --> 00:20:44,782
- Well... me, for the moment.
- Really?
455
00:20:44,783 --> 00:20:47,907
Why, you know, doctor,
that I haven't seen my husband in years.
456
00:20:47,908 --> 00:20:49,822
And I'm not likely to see him again.
457
00:20:49,823 --> 00:20:52,115
I thought everybody read that
in the newspapers.
458
00:20:52,116 --> 00:20:54,157
Poor Arthur was drowned
in Sydney Harbour.
459
00:20:54,158 --> 00:20:55,990
- As if you didn't know, Inspector.
- Should I know?
460
00:20:55,991 --> 00:20:57,865
There's nothing wrong
with my passport, is there?
461
00:20:57,866 --> 00:20:59,282
You just wanted to talk to me.
462
00:20:59,283 --> 00:21:03,490
Your husband left this country hurriedly
two years ago or was it three?
463
00:21:03,491 --> 00:21:04,490
Three.
464
00:21:04,491 --> 00:21:06,115
When did you see him last?
465
00:21:06,116 --> 00:21:07,782
Two, or was it three?
466
00:21:07,783 --> 00:21:09,532
Now let's be accurate, my dear girl.
467
00:21:09,533 --> 00:21:11,989
You saw him in Australia.
468
00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:15,282
You arrived in Sydney about three months
after he reached there.
469
00:21:15,283 --> 00:21:17,490
While you were there, you were,
470
00:21:17,491 --> 00:21:19,907
well, shall we say,
in communication with him?
471
00:21:19,908 --> 00:21:22,032
You seem to have it all there,
so why bother to ask me?
472
00:21:22,033 --> 00:21:23,907
I never saw him and that's the truth.
473
00:21:23,908 --> 00:21:25,573
You never saw him? Hmm.
474
00:21:25,575 --> 00:21:27,907
He was afraid that somebody
might be trailing you,
475
00:21:27,908 --> 00:21:30,157
afraid that you might
lead the police to him?
476
00:21:30,158 --> 00:21:32,782
Afraid.
You don't know what you're talking about.
477
00:21:32,783 --> 00:21:34,364
He wasn't afraid of anything or anybody.
478
00:21:34,365 --> 00:21:37,115
And now you say he's dead, hmm?
479
00:21:37,116 --> 00:21:40,656
Come in, Henry Arthur Milton,
480
00:21:40,657 --> 00:21:43,239
who recently left Australia
481
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,657
with another woman.
482
00:21:44,658 --> 00:21:46,323
Come in, please.
483
00:21:46,325 --> 00:21:47,947
He's not there.
484
00:21:47,948 --> 00:21:49,658
That's a dirty trick.
485
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,740
I'm sorry but I...
486
00:21:51,741 --> 00:21:53,656
don't like the way he kids me along.
487
00:21:53,657 --> 00:21:56,825
Oh, don't let him worry you.
He has an unfortunate manner.
488
00:21:57,573 --> 00:21:59,823
I don't know anything
and you've nothing on me.
489
00:21:59,825 --> 00:22:01,989
And I certainly don't have to answer
any of your fool questions.
490
00:22:01,990 --> 00:22:03,907
It is Mrs. Milton, isn't it?
491
00:22:03,908 --> 00:22:04,864
What does that mean?
492
00:22:04,865 --> 00:22:08,657
Oh, I just thought it might be
one of those happy natural liaisons.
493
00:22:08,658 --> 00:22:11,448
It was happy, it was natural
and it was legal.
494
00:22:11,450 --> 00:22:13,115
Well, well.
495
00:22:13,116 --> 00:22:15,825
And you can get that bug out of your head
about another woman.
496
00:22:16,573 --> 00:22:18,698
There was no other woman ever
in Arthur Milton's life.
497
00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:20,739
I had walked down Collin Street
498
00:22:20,740 --> 00:22:23,908
with the police tailing me
because he'd rung me and asked me to.
499
00:22:24,450 --> 00:22:26,448
All because he wanted just to look at me.
500
00:22:26,990 --> 00:22:28,448
He risked everything to see me.
501
00:22:28,450 --> 00:22:30,532
I wouldn't recognise him,
but he'd be there.
502
00:22:30,533 --> 00:22:33,532
Is that the kind of man
who goes off with some other woman?
503
00:22:33,533 --> 00:22:35,031
No, no.
504
00:22:35,032 --> 00:22:38,989
No, but he sounds to me very much like
a man who is alive and here in England.
505
00:22:38,990 --> 00:22:40,616
If he is, why don't you catch him?
506
00:22:41,865 --> 00:22:43,114
May I have my passport, please?
507
00:22:43,115 --> 00:22:46,031
I'm sorry you've been detained.
Your papers are quite in order.
508
00:22:46,032 --> 00:22:48,698
You met him and you didn't recognise him.
509
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:51,323
Love is blind.
510
00:22:51,325 --> 00:22:53,657
And you think you would know him
if you saw him, Dr. Lomond?
511
00:22:53,658 --> 00:22:55,990
You want us to believe
he was so well disguised
512
00:22:55,991 --> 00:23:00,365
that he could walk down Collin Street in
broad daylight without being recognised?
513
00:23:00,366 --> 00:23:04,239
I'm sorry, Cora Ann,
but it won't do.
514
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,532
On Collin Street.
He'd walk on Regent Street.
515
00:23:07,533 --> 00:23:09,406
If he felt that way,
he'd come right to Scotland Yard.
516
00:23:09,407 --> 00:23:11,990
You laugh, go on, laugh. He'd do it. He--
517
00:23:15,198 --> 00:23:16,990
He'd do what, Mrs. Milton?
518
00:23:20,657 --> 00:23:21,741
I'm sorry.
519
00:23:22,533 --> 00:23:23,950
What is it?
520
00:23:24,700 --> 00:23:27,947
I'm sorry, but I'm rather nervous today.
Anything makes me jump.
521
00:23:27,948 --> 00:23:30,198
Well, I guess that lets me out.
522
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,615
You just try to get me back again.
523
00:23:31,616 --> 00:23:33,241
What's the matter, Mrs. Milton?
524
00:23:33,948 --> 00:23:35,989
What are you frightened of
here in the police station?
525
00:23:35,990 --> 00:23:37,365
Well, I tell you, it was--
526
00:23:37,366 --> 00:23:40,575
it was that drawing. I just caught
a glimpse of it and it gave me a shock.
527
00:23:41,408 --> 00:23:42,740
You see, I rather liked Arthur.
528
00:23:45,325 --> 00:23:46,990
And say, don't be so darned sure
529
00:23:46,991 --> 00:23:48,907
there's nothing to be afraid of
in a police station.
530
00:24:19,990 --> 00:24:21,115
I see you, men.
531
00:24:21,116 --> 00:24:23,364
See that you get them rivets
on the inside.
532
00:24:23,365 --> 00:24:26,365
And you, keep your dirty hands
off the walls.
533
00:24:26,366 --> 00:24:28,198
Your holder brandy, sir.
534
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,823
Put it there.
535
00:24:29,825 --> 00:24:31,073
Here?
536
00:24:31,075 --> 00:24:32,116
There.
537
00:24:34,073 --> 00:24:37,198
How'd you like my posh accent?
All got up to match the tray.
538
00:24:37,740 --> 00:24:41,282
- Have you called Miss Lisa?
- It's a nice bit of stuff, too.
539
00:24:41,283 --> 00:24:43,447
Do you mean Miss Lisa or the brandy?
540
00:24:43,448 --> 00:24:44,615
No, the tray.
541
00:24:45,908 --> 00:24:48,615
I'm under police protection, Hackett,
that includes my property.
542
00:24:48,616 --> 00:24:51,323
Yeah. You know, taking it all-in-all, guv,
543
00:24:51,325 --> 00:24:53,322
it is a bit of a flipping laugh,
innit, eh?
544
00:24:53,323 --> 00:24:55,865
I feel like something
out of Madame Tussauds.
545
00:24:55,866 --> 00:24:57,781
I'm not cut out to be a gent's gentleman.
546
00:24:57,782 --> 00:25:00,158
Too flipping familiar,
that's what you are.
547
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:02,866
Draw the curtains, will you?
548
00:25:04,325 --> 00:25:07,657
Here.
You got them things far too far apart.
549
00:25:08,198 --> 00:25:11,157
I know plenty of gentlemen with rubber
guts who could squeeze through that gap.
550
00:25:11,158 --> 00:25:12,240
Who's giving orders?
551
00:25:12,241 --> 00:25:14,197
Me, that's who. That's what I'm here for.
552
00:25:14,198 --> 00:25:15,282
Expert, eh?
553
00:25:15,283 --> 00:25:17,490
Dead right, mate.
On both sides of the fence.
554
00:25:17,491 --> 00:25:20,197
You watch me, keep your eyes and ears open
and you'll be all right.
555
00:25:20,198 --> 00:25:21,157
Hackett, please.
556
00:25:21,158 --> 00:25:22,325
Sorry, guv.
557
00:25:23,323 --> 00:25:24,948
It's all this blooming clobber.
558
00:25:24,950 --> 00:25:27,157
Those blokes won't take notes from me
in this fancy dress.
559
00:25:27,158 --> 00:25:29,407
Tell them to get on with it
and attend to things indoors.
560
00:25:29,408 --> 00:25:31,948
- And fetch Miss Lisa's coffee.
- Okay, it's on the hob.
561
00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:37,198
- I like it very black.
- Oh, it's as black as silt, miss.
562
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,573
Smells like it too.
563
00:25:38,575 --> 00:25:40,907
I'm afraid I'm not very good
at this coffee making lot, though.
564
00:25:40,908 --> 00:25:42,950
- Now if it was char...
- That's enough, Hackett.
565
00:25:46,158 --> 00:25:48,448
Oh, that moron gets on my nerves.
566
00:25:48,450 --> 00:25:49,822
He makes me laugh.
567
00:25:49,823 --> 00:25:52,032
He's no good in the house
and he talks too much.
568
00:25:52,033 --> 00:25:54,157
I can hardly understand what he says.
569
00:25:54,158 --> 00:25:55,241
A dialect?
570
00:25:55,783 --> 00:25:57,490
- Cockney, dear.
- Cockney?
571
00:25:57,491 --> 00:26:00,573
Yes, a gay little language all on its own.
572
00:26:00,575 --> 00:26:03,033
Only slightly connected
with the King's English.
573
00:26:03,741 --> 00:26:05,616
Have you typed those things I gave you?
574
00:26:06,158 --> 00:26:08,115
- Oh, yes.
- Good, clever girl.
575
00:26:09,075 --> 00:26:10,657
I don't know what I should do without you.
576
00:26:11,325 --> 00:26:14,114
There are plenty of people
who can type.
577
00:26:14,115 --> 00:26:16,783
But they don't look like you.
578
00:26:17,825 --> 00:26:19,116
Or smile like you.
579
00:26:19,950 --> 00:26:21,407
Or walk like you.
580
00:26:22,407 --> 00:26:24,700
Why does it embarrass you, hmm?
581
00:26:26,032 --> 00:26:28,032
Cuts across your favourite act, doesn't it?
582
00:26:28,033 --> 00:26:30,197
What act?
583
00:26:30,198 --> 00:26:31,616
Waiting for Johnny.
584
00:26:32,658 --> 00:26:34,448
I-It's not an act.
585
00:26:34,450 --> 00:26:37,489
No, of course not, my dear.
I was joking, I'm sorry.
586
00:26:37,490 --> 00:26:40,282
No girl could've kept it up for so long
if it were.
587
00:26:40,283 --> 00:26:43,157
No sensitive, intelligent girl like you,
I mean.
588
00:26:49,532 --> 00:26:51,491
This house is going to look like a prison.
589
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,616
I'm sorry about all this, Lisa.
590
00:26:56,950 --> 00:26:58,614
- Oh, thank you.
- Black enough, miss?
591
00:26:58,615 --> 00:26:59,906
Oh, yes.
592
00:26:59,907 --> 00:27:02,948
Hackett, I'm not going to stand much
more of this. Haven't they finished yet?
593
00:27:02,950 --> 00:27:05,240
- They're just putting the alarms in.
- Alarms?
594
00:27:05,241 --> 00:27:07,365
Yes, burglar alarms.
595
00:27:07,366 --> 00:27:10,448
I hope you're never in none of them, miss,
when you're on the wrong side of the door.
596
00:27:10,450 --> 00:27:12,073
Blimey, the scares I've had.
597
00:27:12,075 --> 00:27:14,948
After that, I set the last trumpet aside
and not the penny whistle.
598
00:27:14,950 --> 00:27:17,032
I don't hire the raconteur, Hackett.
599
00:27:17,033 --> 00:27:18,114
Hey?
600
00:27:18,115 --> 00:27:20,907
Go get me two more brandies, will you?
If you haven't drunk it all.
601
00:27:20,908 --> 00:27:22,072
What, me drink brandy?
602
00:27:22,073 --> 00:27:24,783
With all that bubbly lying about?
Look at him.
603
00:27:25,325 --> 00:27:26,907
You must be the best audience
604
00:27:26,908 --> 00:27:30,573
- he's ever had. He knows it too.
- I think he's very funny.
605
00:27:30,575 --> 00:27:32,282
Oh, well, he's all yours, dear.
606
00:27:32,283 --> 00:27:34,448
Drink your coffee before it gets cold.
607
00:27:34,450 --> 00:27:37,656
Now what goes on?
Are you going to make much more noise?
608
00:27:37,657 --> 00:27:39,989
I got to connect up the alarm bell
with that switch.
609
00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:41,614
Oh, am I in your way?
610
00:27:41,615 --> 00:27:43,741
No, miss, you're all right,
stay where you are.
611
00:27:44,990 --> 00:27:46,073
Do you understand those things?
612
00:27:46,075 --> 00:27:47,990
- Should do.
- Should do?
613
00:27:47,991 --> 00:27:49,740
Why isn't the electrician here himself?
614
00:27:49,741 --> 00:27:52,031
I mean,
the place is lousy with silver trays.
615
00:27:52,032 --> 00:27:54,948
Hackett, we don't want
a running commentary on your duties.
616
00:27:54,950 --> 00:27:56,325
Here you are sir, stiffens.
617
00:27:56,866 --> 00:27:58,865
- Lisa.
- No, thank you, not for me.
618
00:27:58,866 --> 00:28:00,864
- Come on, it's good for the nerves.
- No, thank you.
619
00:28:00,865 --> 00:28:01,825
Take it.
620
00:28:05,366 --> 00:28:06,950
Let's have some light, shall we?
621
00:28:18,532 --> 00:28:21,198
What have you done,
you fools!
622
00:28:23,740 --> 00:28:25,158
Give me Scotland Yard.
623
00:28:26,450 --> 00:28:27,406
Hello, hello?
624
00:28:27,407 --> 00:28:29,115
Stop those bells, will you?
625
00:28:29,116 --> 00:28:32,114
Hello? Hello, hello? Shh.
626
00:28:32,115 --> 00:28:36,200
Hello? Uh, uh, 99. Shh.
627
00:28:36,991 --> 00:28:38,906
Well, there you are, Mr. Meister.
628
00:28:38,907 --> 00:28:41,489
You'll have a sore hand
for a day or maybe two,
629
00:28:41,490 --> 00:28:42,823
but it could've been worse.
630
00:28:42,825 --> 00:28:45,032
And now I think we could all do
with a drink.
631
00:28:45,033 --> 00:28:45,990
Hackett, a drink.
632
00:28:45,991 --> 00:28:47,365
And Hackett.
633
00:28:47,366 --> 00:28:50,490
In future, for your alarm bell's fuse,
send for the electricians, not the police.
634
00:28:50,491 --> 00:28:51,864
Well, how was I to know
it wasn't The Ringer!
635
00:28:51,865 --> 00:28:53,907
By the simple process of looking, halfwit!
636
00:28:55,658 --> 00:28:57,614
You know, Mr. Wembury, one of these days,
I'm gonna do him,
637
00:28:57,615 --> 00:29:00,408
- honest, I will, I will do him.
- Sam, behave yourself.
638
00:29:01,950 --> 00:29:04,364
Here, guv.
That's a nice bit of stuff, innit, eh?
639
00:29:04,365 --> 00:29:05,947
It would sell well, wouldn't it?
640
00:29:05,948 --> 00:29:08,115
- I wonder what I'd get for it.
- About three years.
641
00:29:08,116 --> 00:29:09,572
Is he all right, doctor?
642
00:29:09,573 --> 00:29:12,616
Why, sure, he's all right.
643
00:29:13,700 --> 00:29:15,698
What are you, the factotum?
644
00:29:15,700 --> 00:29:17,032
No, sir, English.
645
00:29:17,033 --> 00:29:18,989
What's your name?
646
00:29:18,990 --> 00:29:20,365
Samuel Cuthbert Hackett.
647
00:29:20,366 --> 00:29:22,450
That's a terrible name.
648
00:29:22,991 --> 00:29:25,575
Would you like to earn
an honest five pounds?
649
00:29:26,116 --> 00:29:28,490
I pay on results, I'm from Aberdeen.
650
00:29:28,491 --> 00:29:31,615
Can you tell me something
about The Ringer?
651
00:29:31,616 --> 00:29:34,448
Something that I don't know already, hmm?
652
00:29:34,450 --> 00:29:37,239
Well, do you mind if I give you
a bit of advice for nothing?
653
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,073
Don't go nosing in on The Ringer.
654
00:29:39,075 --> 00:29:40,490
That is if you value your skin.
655
00:29:40,491 --> 00:29:42,616
They tell me that you're a friend of his.
656
00:29:43,157 --> 00:29:46,322
Well, I'm not saying yes
and I'm not saying no.
657
00:29:46,323 --> 00:29:47,823
But I'll tell you this much,
658
00:29:47,825 --> 00:29:50,781
he wouldn't half get a laugh
if he could see all this I had you do.
659
00:29:50,782 --> 00:29:51,907
Them bars!
660
00:29:51,908 --> 00:29:54,698
Blimey, they wouldn't keep me out,
let alone The Ringer.
661
00:29:55,740 --> 00:29:56,989
Perhaps you are The Ringer.
662
00:29:59,615 --> 00:30:01,657
Please don't make jokes like that,
sir, please.
663
00:30:02,198 --> 00:30:03,825
Turn my stomach right over.
664
00:30:06,783 --> 00:30:11,572
Wembury, they're awful dangerous
contraptions, these burglar alarms.
665
00:30:11,573 --> 00:30:13,198
By the way,
666
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,573
I was fascinated by your friend, Cora Ann.
667
00:30:15,575 --> 00:30:16,531
Yes, I noticed.
668
00:30:16,532 --> 00:30:19,740
- I'd put that thing down if I were you.
- Aye.
669
00:30:19,741 --> 00:30:21,781
- Would you say I had a good approach?
- To women?
670
00:30:21,782 --> 00:30:23,948
On the elephantine side, I'd say.
671
00:30:23,950 --> 00:30:27,157
Now, don't depress me, Wembury,
I thought I'd made an impression.
672
00:30:27,158 --> 00:30:29,157
Hardly the right one,
you were trying too hard.
673
00:30:29,158 --> 00:30:31,406
Are you likely
to see her again?
674
00:30:31,407 --> 00:30:34,197
- Not while you're around.
- Competition, eh?
675
00:30:34,198 --> 00:30:37,322
Not where The Ringer's wife is concerned,
old boy, that would be curtains.
676
00:30:37,323 --> 00:30:41,572
Doesn't the risk appeal to you?
The element of challenge, eh? Oh.
677
00:30:41,573 --> 00:30:43,656
What's happening to men nowadays?
678
00:30:43,657 --> 00:30:46,447
Look, Dr. Casanova,
lay off The Ringer's wife.
679
00:30:46,448 --> 00:30:48,072
She's a very beautiful girl.
680
00:30:48,073 --> 00:30:51,615
Yes, and you might look beautiful too
lying on a marble slab, though I doubt it.
681
00:30:51,616 --> 00:30:52,740
Would you send me lilies?
682
00:30:54,741 --> 00:30:55,698
- Good evening.
- Yes?
683
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:57,573
- He wants to see Mr. Meister.
- Is he in?
684
00:30:57,575 --> 00:31:00,073
- Mr. Meister's busy.
- I won't keep him long.
685
00:31:00,075 --> 00:31:01,782
I tell you, he's busy,
he won't see anyone.
686
00:31:01,783 --> 00:31:02,741
I've got to see him.
687
00:31:03,407 --> 00:31:04,783
Well, give me a message.
688
00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:06,657
Him or you?
689
00:31:06,658 --> 00:31:08,533
All right, Constable, I'll deal with this.
690
00:31:11,075 --> 00:31:13,198
- Well?
- Well, my boy's in trouble, see.
691
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,740
He'd been on a job and comes up
before the beat tomorrow and...
692
00:31:15,741 --> 00:31:17,658
I promised I'd get Meister there
to defend him.
693
00:31:19,908 --> 00:31:20,865
You wait here.
694
00:31:21,407 --> 00:31:22,365
Samuel.
695
00:31:22,366 --> 00:31:24,448
Samuel Cuthbert Hackett.
696
00:31:24,450 --> 00:31:28,365
That's a terrible name.
Have you seen this contraption, hmm?
697
00:31:29,698 --> 00:31:32,157
Ah, it's natty, innit?
698
00:31:32,158 --> 00:31:33,782
It's very empty.
699
00:31:33,783 --> 00:31:35,447
- Oh, I got ya. Refill?
- Aye.
700
00:31:35,448 --> 00:31:36,782
Come in the dispensary.
701
00:31:38,408 --> 00:31:41,365
Oh, is that where the fuse boxes are?
702
00:31:41,366 --> 00:31:45,031
They're awful elaborate. I used
to potter with electricity when I was
703
00:31:45,032 --> 00:31:46,365
a wee lad.
704
00:31:47,075 --> 00:31:48,282
Well?
705
00:31:48,283 --> 00:31:49,948
He says phone him tomorrow.
706
00:31:49,950 --> 00:31:51,864
Look, I don't want any nonsense.
707
00:31:51,865 --> 00:31:54,447
- And nor do we!
- He can't get away with this.
708
00:31:54,448 --> 00:31:57,240
- He's got to see me, it's his duty.
- Now, now, what's the trouble?
709
00:31:57,241 --> 00:32:00,240
Who are you? No one comes in here
without me knowing it.
710
00:32:00,241 --> 00:32:02,407
He wants to see Meister,
but Meister won't see him.
711
00:32:02,408 --> 00:32:04,157
Well, that's it, innit, mate?
712
00:32:04,158 --> 00:32:06,365
You phone him tomorrow,
he'll talk to you then.
713
00:32:06,366 --> 00:32:08,489
You've got too many police around here.
714
00:32:08,490 --> 00:32:09,615
Well, you know what I'd do?
715
00:32:09,616 --> 00:32:11,406
You might be wasting your time, pal.
716
00:32:11,407 --> 00:32:13,365
Someone has exactly the same idea.
717
00:32:13,366 --> 00:32:15,532
Don't you worry. I'll be back.
718
00:32:19,825 --> 00:32:21,115
Excuse me, if you please.
719
00:32:21,116 --> 00:32:22,740
- Just a moment, madam.
- Now look here.
720
00:32:22,741 --> 00:32:25,240
My old man's in there,
they just told me down at the station,
721
00:32:25,241 --> 00:32:26,657
so don't you tongue and gammon me.
722
00:32:26,658 --> 00:32:28,407
Got any hidden weapons on you, eh?
723
00:32:28,408 --> 00:32:30,156
If I had them,
they're me own private property.
724
00:32:30,157 --> 00:32:31,989
- What's your business, anyway?
- I've told you.
725
00:32:31,990 --> 00:32:33,989
I want to see Mr. Hackett
and it's very urgent.
726
00:32:33,990 --> 00:32:36,740
- Hackett? What's he up to in there?
- How should I know?
727
00:32:36,741 --> 00:32:38,116
That's what I'm here to find out--
728
00:32:40,366 --> 00:32:41,740
Sam Hackett.
729
00:32:41,741 --> 00:32:43,364
- So here you are!
- Now, Bella!
730
00:32:43,365 --> 00:32:45,447
I found you at last, have I, you snake...
731
00:32:45,448 --> 00:32:47,782
enjoying yourself
while me and the kids can starve.
732
00:32:47,783 --> 00:32:49,740
Put a sock in it. You'll get me fired!
733
00:32:49,741 --> 00:32:51,532
You call yourself a man
hiding behind that dickie?
734
00:32:51,533 --> 00:32:53,990
Why don't you come home
like you always does?
735
00:32:53,991 --> 00:32:57,197
- Don't shout, I'm not deaf!
- We can wait, we can,
736
00:32:57,198 --> 00:32:59,698
while you strut around
acting like the dog's dinner.
737
00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:02,240
You're acting above yourself,
that's what you are, Sam Hackett.
738
00:33:02,241 --> 00:33:04,073
Well, what you think I'm doing it for?
739
00:33:04,075 --> 00:33:05,365
You and the kids.
740
00:33:05,366 --> 00:33:08,947
- You haven't gone straight, have you?
- Don't talk daft.
741
00:33:08,948 --> 00:33:10,531
I'm making contacts, see?
742
00:33:10,532 --> 00:33:12,657
It might raise us up
into the mahogany class.
743
00:33:12,658 --> 00:33:14,740
But what about raising
a bit of housekeeping money
744
00:33:14,741 --> 00:33:17,198
'cause now that you're out,
I'm giving up my job at Woolworths.
745
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,322
All right, all right.
746
00:33:19,323 --> 00:33:20,532
As soon as I touch.
747
00:33:20,533 --> 00:33:22,865
Oh, I know you, Sam Hackett.
As soon as you touch,
748
00:33:22,866 --> 00:33:24,864
it's a big noise in the pub
until it's all blown.
749
00:33:24,865 --> 00:33:28,197
Hackett, can't you carry on
your domestic arguments somewhere else?
750
00:33:28,198 --> 00:33:29,281
The kitchen, perhaps.
751
00:33:29,282 --> 00:33:31,990
And who asked you
to push your big ugly mug in?
752
00:33:31,991 --> 00:33:33,740
That's right, go on,
get me another six months.
753
00:33:33,741 --> 00:33:35,782
It's only the chief dick
from Flanders Lane.
754
00:33:36,490 --> 00:33:38,282
Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
755
00:33:38,283 --> 00:33:41,489
But it's his fault, you know,
he's a lazy good-for-nothing.
756
00:33:41,490 --> 00:33:43,490
Well, why put up with him?
Why don't you leave him?
757
00:33:43,491 --> 00:33:45,240
Leave him?
758
00:33:45,241 --> 00:33:47,616
Well, how can I leave him?
I'm not married to him.
759
00:33:49,532 --> 00:33:52,447
- Now go on, hop it.
- Oh, come home, Sam!
760
00:33:52,448 --> 00:33:54,657
Yes, all right,
as soon as the governor's bumped off.
761
00:33:54,658 --> 00:33:57,032
- Well, how long's that gonna be?
- Any moment now.
762
00:33:57,033 --> 00:33:58,490
Yes, but Sam...
763
00:34:03,491 --> 00:34:04,447
Don't worry, Bella.
764
00:34:04,448 --> 00:34:05,907
Don't worry, Bella, I'll be home soon.
765
00:34:05,908 --> 00:34:07,448
- Goodbye, Sam.
- Look after yourself, darling.
766
00:34:07,450 --> 00:34:09,990
- Don't forget what I told you now.
- Yes, all right.
767
00:34:09,991 --> 00:34:10,947
- Look after yourself.
- All right, Hackett?
768
00:34:10,948 --> 00:34:12,282
- Yes, I will, bye.
- You know this man?
769
00:34:12,283 --> 00:34:13,950
- Yes.
- Hello, chum.
770
00:34:14,491 --> 00:34:15,490
I didn't expect
771
00:34:15,491 --> 00:34:16,656
to see you here, Johnny.
772
00:34:16,657 --> 00:34:19,115
What's up? What's all the fuss about?
773
00:34:19,116 --> 00:34:21,657
- What are you all dressed up for?
- I got the greatest bit of news for you.
774
00:34:21,658 --> 00:34:24,115
- You'll die when I tell you.
- You mean about The Ringer being back?
775
00:34:24,116 --> 00:34:25,531
Where's Lisa?
776
00:34:25,532 --> 00:34:27,822
Here, how did you know?
When did you get out?
777
00:34:27,823 --> 00:34:30,825
Oh, blimey, you look welled up,
one must be a blooming holiday.
778
00:34:31,825 --> 00:34:34,282
Johnny, Johnny!
779
00:34:34,283 --> 00:34:37,365
- Lisa!
- Johnny!
780
00:34:37,366 --> 00:34:40,072
Johnny,
but what year is it?
781
00:34:40,073 --> 00:34:44,407
I-I must be all mixed up. Listen,
782
00:34:44,408 --> 00:34:47,532
- you're out too soon.
- I'm out, I'm free!
783
00:34:47,533 --> 00:34:48,657
Darling.
784
00:34:49,575 --> 00:34:51,198
Darling, you haven't escaped?
785
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,532
I helped a warder
when some damn fool attacked him,
786
00:34:53,533 --> 00:34:55,115
so they remitted my sentence.
787
00:34:55,116 --> 00:34:57,032
Oh, Johnny, open a screw.
788
00:35:00,033 --> 00:35:01,198
Darling.
789
00:35:02,158 --> 00:35:03,782
Promise me one thing.
790
00:35:04,616 --> 00:35:06,491
Don't make any more trouble.
791
00:35:07,033 --> 00:35:09,866
No more trouble ever, no more police.
792
00:35:11,408 --> 00:35:12,825
You swear it?
793
00:35:13,783 --> 00:35:14,739
I swear it.
794
00:35:14,740 --> 00:35:16,239
Why didn't you write?
795
00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:17,948
Well,
I didn't know myself till this morning.
796
00:35:17,950 --> 00:35:21,240
Well, well, look who's here.
797
00:35:21,782 --> 00:35:24,157
- Hello, Meister.
- Hello, Johnny.
798
00:35:24,158 --> 00:35:25,865
Let's have a look at you.
799
00:35:26,783 --> 00:35:29,698
- How did you manage it?
- He saved a warder's life.
800
00:35:29,700 --> 00:35:32,156
One of your ex-clients attacked him,
Meister.
801
00:35:32,157 --> 00:35:35,865
We must drink
to our little hero, shall we, Lisa?
802
00:35:35,866 --> 00:35:38,281
The boy who makes good.
What will you have, Johnny?
803
00:35:38,282 --> 00:35:40,157
- Not for me, Meister.
- Lisa?
804
00:35:40,158 --> 00:35:41,406
No, thank you.
805
00:35:41,407 --> 00:35:42,657
Lisa and I are going to be married.
806
00:35:42,658 --> 00:35:44,865
I know, I know. Congratulations.
807
00:35:44,866 --> 00:35:46,948
I'm taking her to my people
in Liverpool tonight.
808
00:35:46,950 --> 00:35:48,198
Tonight?
809
00:35:49,115 --> 00:35:52,990
I'm sorry, Johnny, but...
you forget she's my secretary.
810
00:35:52,991 --> 00:35:55,115
I can't let the secretary go
at a moment's notice.
811
00:35:55,116 --> 00:35:57,365
She knows more about my affairs
than I do myself.
812
00:35:57,366 --> 00:35:59,198
I'd be completely lost without her.
813
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,031
But of course in a few days
I'd be glad to make arrangements.
814
00:36:01,032 --> 00:36:03,239
Well, that's too bad, but we're, uh,
815
00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:05,197
taking the first train.
I want her out of here.
816
00:36:05,198 --> 00:36:06,822
But why?
817
00:36:06,823 --> 00:36:09,031
She's been happy here. Haven't you, Lisa?
818
00:36:09,032 --> 00:36:11,572
Oh, yes. Yes, I like my work.
819
00:36:11,573 --> 00:36:13,739
He asked you, Lisa,
whether you'd been happy.
820
00:36:13,740 --> 00:36:15,490
Yes, darling, but...
821
00:36:15,491 --> 00:36:19,906
I-- I think it's reasonable
that I should wait for a few days.
822
00:36:19,907 --> 00:36:21,198
Until I clear out my work.
823
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:22,989
Few days, you talk
as if a few days were nothing.
824
00:36:22,990 --> 00:36:24,823
- I've been waiting two years!
- Yes, but--
825
00:36:24,825 --> 00:36:26,365
Now don't be hysterical, Johnny.
826
00:36:26,366 --> 00:36:27,365
I'm trying to help you.
827
00:36:27,366 --> 00:36:29,364
Keep your advice
for people who pay for it!
828
00:36:29,365 --> 00:36:31,447
My dear boy, you are hysterical.
829
00:36:31,448 --> 00:36:32,989
You have to try and adapt yourself
830
00:36:32,990 --> 00:36:36,823
- to civilised life again.
- You should talk about civilised life!
831
00:36:36,825 --> 00:36:39,739
How about Gwenda Milton?
I wonder why she committed suicide?
832
00:36:39,740 --> 00:36:41,073
Shut your filthy mouth!
833
00:36:41,075 --> 00:36:44,073
And who came out of the whole thing
as innocent as a lamb?
834
00:36:44,075 --> 00:36:46,698
You can fool the law, Meister,
because you know every move of the game,
835
00:36:46,700 --> 00:36:48,657
but there's someone around you can't fool,
836
00:36:48,658 --> 00:36:51,697
who's just waiting for an opportunity
to take the law into his own hands
837
00:36:51,698 --> 00:36:52,907
- and good luck to him.
- Johnny.
838
00:36:52,908 --> 00:36:55,406
What are you so frightened about?
Does nobody speak the truth around here?
839
00:36:55,407 --> 00:36:57,073
He comes out of prison
and he talks about truth.
840
00:36:58,490 --> 00:37:00,407
It's all right, Johnny, I...
841
00:37:00,408 --> 00:37:03,656
I quite understand.
Hello, doctor.
842
00:37:03,657 --> 00:37:05,532
Are you sure I'm not butting in?
843
00:37:05,533 --> 00:37:08,198
- No, no, no, not at all.
- I was just away...
844
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,657
Excuse me, I'll get my bag.
845
00:37:10,658 --> 00:37:13,490
Oh, uh, this is a friend of mine,
Mr. Lemley.
846
00:37:13,491 --> 00:37:17,575
I'd just been having a wee bit chat
with our friend there in the pantry.
847
00:37:18,116 --> 00:37:19,782
Lemley? Hmm.
848
00:37:19,783 --> 00:37:21,990
You're just back
from the country, aren't you?
849
00:37:21,991 --> 00:37:23,032
I'm just out of prison,
850
00:37:23,033 --> 00:37:24,616
- if that's what you mean.
- Uh-huh.
851
00:37:27,033 --> 00:37:28,575
- Guv.
- Yes, what is it?
852
00:37:30,116 --> 00:37:32,906
- There's a party outside wants to see you.
- Who is it?
853
00:37:32,907 --> 00:37:35,157
Well,
they asked me not to divulge the name.
854
00:37:35,158 --> 00:37:37,865
This party said,
"Just say I'm from The Ringer."
855
00:37:37,866 --> 00:37:40,490
A party from The Ringer?
856
00:37:40,491 --> 00:37:41,948
Show him in.
857
00:37:41,950 --> 00:37:44,491
- Doctor, are you mad?
- I know what I'm doing.
858
00:37:45,033 --> 00:37:45,950
Show him in.
859
00:37:59,075 --> 00:38:00,366
Hello, Meister.
860
00:38:02,408 --> 00:38:03,533
Remember me?
861
00:38:04,073 --> 00:38:06,907
I'm very sorry, but just for the moment
I'm rather at a loss.
862
00:38:06,908 --> 00:38:10,032
Think hard. I'll give you a clue,
you knew my husband.
863
00:38:10,033 --> 00:38:13,823
That's a terrible opening
to a conversation, "you knew my husband."
864
00:38:13,825 --> 00:38:15,531
Do you mind keeping out of this?
865
00:38:15,532 --> 00:38:17,075
My name's Cora Ann Milton.
866
00:38:21,075 --> 00:38:23,532
Ah, yes, of course.
My dear Mrs. Milton, how do you do?
867
00:38:23,533 --> 00:38:25,740
- Prettier than ever.
- Oh, shut up.
868
00:38:25,741 --> 00:38:27,907
And how is your husband?
869
00:38:27,908 --> 00:38:31,658
Oh, he's fine, just fine.
You'd be pleased to hear that.
870
00:38:32,408 --> 00:38:34,906
- Oh yes, indeed.
- I, um...
871
00:38:34,907 --> 00:38:36,989
I brought you a message from him.
872
00:38:36,990 --> 00:38:39,950
- Do you mind if we talk alone somewhere?
- If you wish.
873
00:38:42,157 --> 00:38:43,033
Uh, this way.
874
00:38:43,657 --> 00:38:45,490
- You'd excuse us, won't you, doctor?
- Certainly.
875
00:38:45,491 --> 00:38:48,323
What's Mrs. Milton doing here?
876
00:38:48,325 --> 00:38:50,573
Blimey, where have you two been,
making the beds?
877
00:38:50,575 --> 00:38:54,823
Isn't that like a couple of coppers, eh?
Never on the spot when you want it.
878
00:38:54,825 --> 00:38:57,323
Now listen, there isn't much time.
879
00:38:57,325 --> 00:38:59,115
Why don't you go away, out of the country?
880
00:38:59,116 --> 00:39:02,033
Arthur Milton is here in London
for one purpose only.
881
00:39:02,658 --> 00:39:04,948
To get you, Meister.
It's a mania with him.
882
00:39:04,950 --> 00:39:07,573
Whatever happened between you and
his sister, he pinned her death on you.
883
00:39:07,575 --> 00:39:09,865
It's been burning up his mind
for two years.
884
00:39:09,866 --> 00:39:11,657
He's got one idea left
and that's to get you.
885
00:39:11,658 --> 00:39:13,947
So he's in London, hmm?
886
00:39:13,948 --> 00:39:15,865
You've been listening
to the police, Mrs. Milton.
887
00:39:15,866 --> 00:39:16,950
I told the police.
888
00:39:20,157 --> 00:39:22,198
Trying to lead me to The Ringer, hmm?
889
00:39:22,740 --> 00:39:25,615
Very ingenious, I must say.
890
00:39:25,616 --> 00:39:28,198
I leave London,
where he would never dare show himself,
891
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,991
and I go, say, to the Argentine,
892
00:39:31,533 --> 00:39:35,032
and he'd be waiting for me there,
tipped off by you.
893
00:39:35,033 --> 00:39:36,615
What do you take me for, Mrs. Milton?
894
00:39:36,616 --> 00:39:37,615
You can cut that out.
895
00:39:37,616 --> 00:39:39,865
I wouldn't lift a finger
to save you from hell.
896
00:39:39,866 --> 00:39:41,073
Get that into your head, Meister.
897
00:39:41,075 --> 00:39:43,865
And run fast while you still have
some breath in you to do it with.
898
00:39:43,866 --> 00:39:46,408
- And run to The Ringer?
- From The Ringer, you fool.
899
00:39:47,823 --> 00:39:50,700
It's here in this house you'll meet him
and not anywhere else.
900
00:40:16,866 --> 00:40:19,365
You're looking
very beautiful today, Cora Ann.
901
00:40:19,366 --> 00:40:21,198
That's more
than I can say of you, doctor.
902
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,740
The merry widow, eh?
903
00:40:22,741 --> 00:40:24,573
And cut out the widow stuff,
it's too near home.
904
00:40:24,575 --> 00:40:28,447
- The merry grass widow, then.
- Not so merry as all that.
905
00:40:28,448 --> 00:40:31,448
Still hankering
after that husband of yours?
906
00:40:31,450 --> 00:40:33,407
Isn't it time you stopped worrying?
907
00:40:33,408 --> 00:40:35,615
You're dead right it is, doctor.
908
00:40:35,616 --> 00:40:38,407
You can't still be in love with him.
909
00:40:38,408 --> 00:40:39,864
Love?
910
00:40:39,865 --> 00:40:42,406
I don't know. What's love anyhow?
911
00:40:42,407 --> 00:40:44,865
- I've forgotten.
- Love, well...
912
00:40:44,866 --> 00:40:47,532
They say in the books
it's where the heart is.
913
00:40:47,533 --> 00:40:49,032
Well, mine's in my mouth most of the time.
914
00:40:49,033 --> 00:40:51,991
That's anatomically impossible,
my dear.
915
00:40:52,533 --> 00:40:54,823
It was love that took you
all the way to Australia
916
00:40:54,825 --> 00:40:55,823
after him, wasn't it?
917
00:40:55,825 --> 00:40:58,448
Was it?
A honeymoon alone in a single berth cabin?
918
00:40:58,450 --> 00:40:59,948
Not my idea of love.
919
00:40:59,950 --> 00:41:02,157
Why don't you forget him,
Cora Ann?
920
00:41:02,158 --> 00:41:06,323
- Do you think he wants me to forget him?
- I don't know. He-- he might.
921
00:41:06,325 --> 00:41:09,031
Is any man worth what you're suffering?
922
00:41:09,032 --> 00:41:11,448
Sooner or later he'll be caught.
923
00:41:11,450 --> 00:41:14,197
- If he's alive.
- If he's alive, aye.
924
00:41:14,198 --> 00:41:18,864
The long arm of the law will stretch out
and seize him and the long leg of the law
925
00:41:18,865 --> 00:41:20,032
will boot him into prison.
926
00:41:20,033 --> 00:41:21,740
Oh, will you please
stop talking about my husband?
927
00:41:21,741 --> 00:41:25,073
All right, I mean, anything you wish.
I mean,
928
00:41:25,075 --> 00:41:27,739
I'm only trying to help you, lassie.
929
00:41:27,740 --> 00:41:29,281
Well, do mind helping me at a distance.
930
00:41:29,282 --> 00:41:31,906
But you attract me, Cora Ann.
931
00:41:31,907 --> 00:41:34,031
What am I supposed to do about that?
Cheer?
932
00:41:34,032 --> 00:41:36,823
Dear, if only I was five years younger.
933
00:41:36,825 --> 00:41:41,115
- Twenty-five, you mean.
- Can I offer you a wee bit of advice?
934
00:41:41,116 --> 00:41:44,157
- Medical advice?
- No, no, no, no. Just friendly.
935
00:41:44,158 --> 00:41:47,282
It'll be a good idea
if you were to go right away
936
00:41:47,283 --> 00:41:50,407
and forget all about The Ringer.
937
00:41:50,408 --> 00:41:52,532
Find another interest.
938
00:41:52,533 --> 00:41:54,240
Cut him right out of your mind.
939
00:41:54,241 --> 00:41:58,740
I'm thinking of all the time you're
wasting waiting for something to happen
940
00:41:58,741 --> 00:42:00,782
with that heart of yours in your mouth.
941
00:42:00,783 --> 00:42:02,948
You've got some reason behind all this.
942
00:42:02,950 --> 00:42:05,907
Aye, I've got plenty of reasons.
943
00:42:05,908 --> 00:42:08,157
It's your one chance, Cora Ann.
944
00:42:08,158 --> 00:42:10,947
- Who says so, Dr. Lomond?
- Aye.
945
00:42:10,948 --> 00:42:12,490
When Arthur Milton says,
"I'm tired of you.
946
00:42:12,491 --> 00:42:14,783
I'm sick of you, you're out."
Then I'll go.
947
00:42:15,866 --> 00:42:18,448
My way, not your way. Good night.
948
00:42:18,450 --> 00:42:21,282
- Good night.
- Oh, excuse me, madam.
949
00:42:21,283 --> 00:42:23,157
But would you mind doing me a favour?
950
00:42:23,158 --> 00:42:26,156
The next time you see The Ringer,
would you put in a good word for me?
951
00:42:26,157 --> 00:42:28,365
- Samuel Hackett's the name.
- Word in for what?
952
00:42:28,366 --> 00:42:29,490
Well, I'm ambitious, you see.
953
00:42:29,491 --> 00:42:31,198
I want to better myself.
I want to get out of the rut.
954
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,406
Well, there's no place like the rut, Sam,
at least you know where you are.
955
00:42:33,407 --> 00:42:35,657
Ah, that's just it, madam,
you see, a rut's a rut.
956
00:42:35,658 --> 00:42:38,698
And I want to get out of it. A man with
my experience ought to get out of the rut.
957
00:42:38,700 --> 00:42:40,323
- Experience, did you say?
- Yes, here.
958
00:42:40,325 --> 00:42:42,115
- Have you seen my press cuttings?
- No, I...
959
00:42:42,116 --> 00:42:44,491
- Do you mind? There you are, look.
- Well...
960
00:42:45,533 --> 00:42:47,115
That's me, with the bracelets on.
961
00:42:47,116 --> 00:42:49,948
I think I'd better start a book
on Cora Ann
962
00:42:49,950 --> 00:42:53,197
and forget all about criminology.
963
00:42:53,198 --> 00:42:56,157
Uh, where's my pencil?
964
00:42:56,158 --> 00:42:59,073
There's one on the desk.
965
00:42:59,075 --> 00:43:03,240
Thank you, Mr. Meister.
966
00:43:05,533 --> 00:43:09,116
Tell me something, uh,
what's she doing here?
967
00:43:09,658 --> 00:43:13,990
You should know that.
It was you she came to see, not me.
968
00:43:14,700 --> 00:43:17,114
What reason have the police to think
that The Ringer is here?
969
00:43:17,115 --> 00:43:19,533
I know they have a suspicion
that he's here, but...
970
00:43:20,075 --> 00:43:22,157
have they any real reason to think so?
971
00:43:22,158 --> 00:43:25,573
Well,
couldn't you get that out of Cora Ann?
972
00:43:26,532 --> 00:43:27,698
She's here,
973
00:43:27,700 --> 00:43:29,532
he's not very far away.
974
00:43:29,533 --> 00:43:33,657
Oh, is that what they've been telling you?
975
00:43:33,658 --> 00:43:35,657
They didn't tell me she was here.
976
00:43:35,658 --> 00:43:37,532
Now what kind of recommendations
are those?
977
00:43:37,533 --> 00:43:40,823
- In each one of them you've been pinched.
- Yes, I know, but why? Why?
978
00:43:40,825 --> 00:43:43,282
I tell you why.
Because I leave my trademark, see?
979
00:43:43,283 --> 00:43:45,407
- Fingerprints?
- No, that's the trouble.
980
00:43:45,408 --> 00:43:48,157
No fingerprints,
no busted locks, no clues.
981
00:43:48,158 --> 00:43:50,323
So that when they see the perfect job,
982
00:43:50,325 --> 00:43:52,572
they know it's me, Sam Hackett.
983
00:43:52,573 --> 00:43:55,573
The trouble with me, miss, is
that I'm the victim of my own perfection.
984
00:43:58,408 --> 00:43:59,741
Excuse me.
985
00:44:00,825 --> 00:44:02,573
All right, Samuel,
I'll put in a word for you.
986
00:44:02,575 --> 00:44:04,657
- Good night, Samuel.
- Tell me something, Wembury.
987
00:44:04,658 --> 00:44:05,907
What?
988
00:44:05,908 --> 00:44:09,073
How the hell did you get landed
with this Scotch comedian of yours?
989
00:44:09,075 --> 00:44:10,366
Who, Lomond?
990
00:44:10,908 --> 00:44:14,615
Oh, he's a nice old boy, really.
A bit irritating at times, but...
991
00:44:14,616 --> 00:44:16,989
After all, he's got precious little
to do at Flanders Lane.
992
00:44:16,990 --> 00:44:19,907
- I don't like amateurs.
- He doesn't do anybody any harm.
993
00:44:19,908 --> 00:44:21,323
When exactly did he start this job here?
994
00:44:21,325 --> 00:44:25,158
Oh, about six months ago to get material
for research for that book of his.
995
00:44:25,700 --> 00:44:29,115
He spent most of his life abroad,
somebody must've recommended him.
996
00:44:29,116 --> 00:44:32,240
It's a nice, quiet job
for an old boy in semi-retirement.
997
00:44:32,241 --> 00:44:33,573
You coming, doctor?
998
00:44:33,575 --> 00:44:35,407
- Aye, in a minute.
- Right.
999
00:44:35,408 --> 00:44:38,490
It's warmer in here
than out there in the garden.
1000
00:44:38,491 --> 00:44:41,448
Don't you think so, Mr. Bliss?
1001
00:44:41,450 --> 00:44:43,572
I saw you out there,
1002
00:44:43,573 --> 00:44:46,697
setting a trap for The Ringer,
weren't you?
1003
00:44:46,698 --> 00:44:49,698
Certainly a more practical way of catching
criminals than writing all those books
1004
00:44:49,700 --> 00:44:52,489
and that anthropological muck
that you waste your time on.
1005
00:44:52,490 --> 00:44:54,907
Well, that's a matter of opinion.
1006
00:44:54,908 --> 00:44:58,115
By the way, Bliss,
have you ever noticed your ears?
1007
00:44:58,116 --> 00:44:59,697
A typical criminal's ear
1008
00:44:59,698 --> 00:45:03,947
and the prognathic process of the jaw
suggest a rabid homicide.
1009
00:45:03,948 --> 00:45:06,323
Tell me, did you ever commit a murder?
1010
00:45:06,325 --> 00:45:08,532
Not yet. But I may any moment.
1011
00:45:08,533 --> 00:45:11,657
How you must hate your ears.
1012
00:45:11,658 --> 00:45:16,198
They're the most pointed I ever saw. I'll
be interested to see what happens to you.
1013
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,989
The last time I saw ears like that
was in India.
1014
00:45:18,990 --> 00:45:20,990
They belonged to a woman
who murdered her husband.
1015
00:45:20,991 --> 00:45:24,115
Mind, I'm not blaming her poor soul,
he was in the native cavalry.
1016
00:45:24,116 --> 00:45:26,115
He used to go to bed in his spurs.
1017
00:45:26,116 --> 00:45:28,157
You keep your flippancy
for another time, Lomond.
1018
00:45:28,158 --> 00:45:31,240
We've got a lot on our hands.
The Ringer was a very clever criminal.
1019
00:45:31,241 --> 00:45:34,072
Ah, there's no such thing
as a clever criminal.
1020
00:45:34,073 --> 00:45:36,865
That doctrine was inculcated into me
when I was a bairn.
1021
00:45:36,866 --> 00:45:40,032
I resent that remark.
1022
00:45:40,033 --> 00:45:43,073
Take care of that hand of yours,
Mr. Meister.
1023
00:45:43,075 --> 00:45:44,031
- Good night.
- Good night.
1024
00:45:44,032 --> 00:45:46,532
Here you are, doc.
1025
00:45:46,533 --> 00:45:47,532
Is it full, Samuel?
1026
00:45:47,533 --> 00:45:50,575
Is it full? Blimey, it's the first time
I've ever measured it by the yard.
1027
00:45:51,323 --> 00:45:53,865
Uh, I'll see you later.
1028
00:46:10,615 --> 00:46:13,407
You-- you--
1029
00:46:13,408 --> 00:46:16,782
You'll have to put up with
a lot of things, you know. People will...
1030
00:46:17,323 --> 00:46:19,033
whisper behind your back.
1031
00:46:19,575 --> 00:46:21,950
"Her husband was in prison."
1032
00:46:22,491 --> 00:46:25,073
Well, how will you feel about it, then?
Will you wish you'd never met me?
1033
00:46:25,075 --> 00:46:26,365
But darling,
1034
00:46:26,366 --> 00:46:29,406
if you had never met me,
you wouldn't have gone to prison.
1035
00:46:29,407 --> 00:46:32,575
You wouldn't have needed that money
if it hadn't been for me.
1036
00:46:41,033 --> 00:46:43,240
All the things I'd planned to say,
I don't know, I--
1037
00:46:43,241 --> 00:46:45,573
- I just couldn't.
- Tell me them now.
1038
00:46:45,575 --> 00:46:48,031
First of all,
I wanted to ask you to forgive me
1039
00:46:48,032 --> 00:46:49,656
for all the things I'd promised.
1040
00:46:49,657 --> 00:46:52,490
Never let it be said
that I'm not sympathetic with young love.
1041
00:46:52,491 --> 00:46:54,450
No, no, no, no. Don't get up.
1042
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,740
I am sorry about my little outburst
a moment ago, Johnny.
1043
00:46:58,741 --> 00:47:00,365
But you see, where I expected thanks,
1044
00:47:00,366 --> 00:47:02,823
it was a little disconcerting
to receive abuse.
1045
00:47:02,825 --> 00:47:05,739
Well, I've been thinking too much,
shut away there.
1046
00:47:05,740 --> 00:47:08,157
I understand. It all was a mistake.
1047
00:47:08,158 --> 00:47:10,407
Are you still thinking
of taking Lisa away tonight?
1048
00:47:10,408 --> 00:47:11,782
- Yes.
- That's a pity.
1049
00:47:11,783 --> 00:47:13,782
I shall miss you, Lisa dear.
When is your train?
1050
00:47:13,783 --> 00:47:15,156
Eleven o'clock.
1051
00:47:15,157 --> 00:47:19,948
Uh, look. Give me two hours of her time
to go over what is most urgent, hmm?
1052
00:47:19,950 --> 00:47:21,865
- All right?
- Well, what about your packing?
1053
00:47:21,866 --> 00:47:23,740
That's easy, I haven't got much to pack.
1054
00:47:23,741 --> 00:47:25,614
Go and pack now, Lisa.
Then you've got everything prepared
1055
00:47:25,615 --> 00:47:27,366
and we can run through the work quickly.
1056
00:47:33,616 --> 00:47:34,575
Oh, blast.
1057
00:47:35,116 --> 00:47:37,240
- What's the matter?
- There's a file in my office,
1058
00:47:37,241 --> 00:47:38,782
it's important she checks through with me.
1059
00:47:38,783 --> 00:47:41,575
I'd get it myself,
but I can't leave the house.
1060
00:47:42,366 --> 00:47:43,864
I wonder if Lisa... Lisa.
1061
00:47:43,865 --> 00:47:47,531
No, don't disturb her. Let her
finish her packing. I'll get your file.
1062
00:47:47,532 --> 00:47:50,200
Oh, that's very kind of you, Johnny.
I'll get you the keys.
1063
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,657
It's the top floor of 258 Piccadilly.
1064
00:47:55,323 --> 00:47:56,906
If you take a taxi,
you'll be there in 20 minutes.
1065
00:47:56,907 --> 00:47:58,200
- Here is some money.
- Oh, don't worry.
1066
00:47:58,783 --> 00:48:02,031
It's a thick green file, you'll find it
in the bottom drawer of my desk.
1067
00:48:02,032 --> 00:48:04,197
- Right.
- 258 Piccadilly.
1068
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:35,364
Who's there?
1069
00:48:37,532 --> 00:48:38,700
What's the matter?
1070
00:48:39,283 --> 00:48:40,615
What are you doing here, Bliss?
1071
00:48:41,491 --> 00:48:43,825
Looking after you like a father,
Mr. Meister.
1072
00:48:44,366 --> 00:48:47,198
I thought your activities were confined
to the outside of my house.
1073
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,032
I shan't be troubling you again
this evening.
1074
00:48:49,033 --> 00:48:50,865
All my men are on duty.
1075
00:48:50,866 --> 00:48:53,407
However, if you can't sleep,
do give me a ring.
1076
00:48:53,408 --> 00:48:56,197
I'll come
and read you some bedtime stories.
1077
00:48:56,198 --> 00:48:57,116
Good night.
1078
00:49:16,866 --> 00:49:18,073
I see.
1079
00:49:20,115 --> 00:49:22,408
Two, five, eight...
1080
00:49:23,865 --> 00:49:24,741
Piccadilly.
1081
00:49:25,658 --> 00:49:26,700
Yes.
1082
00:49:28,325 --> 00:49:30,325
- In about 20 minutes.
- I see.
1083
00:49:31,657 --> 00:49:34,116
- May I have your name, please, sir?
- No. No name.
1084
00:51:18,241 --> 00:51:19,325
Hello?
1085
00:51:20,741 --> 00:51:21,700
Hello, Meister?
1086
00:51:23,032 --> 00:51:24,366
Hello?
1087
00:51:25,075 --> 00:51:27,116
Meister? Is anybody there?
1088
00:51:28,700 --> 00:51:29,575
Hello?
1089
00:51:30,323 --> 00:51:31,325
Meister.
1090
00:51:53,116 --> 00:51:54,200
Don't move.
1091
00:51:54,950 --> 00:51:56,532
What are you doing here, anyway?
1092
00:51:58,366 --> 00:51:59,908
Stay where you are and don't you dare!
1093
00:53:35,033 --> 00:53:36,616
Right, Peters.
1094
00:53:37,407 --> 00:53:40,156
Acting on information, sir,
I was at 258 Piccadilly.
1095
00:53:40,157 --> 00:53:42,825
I found the caretaker hurt
and the office at the top entered into.
1096
00:53:43,740 --> 00:53:46,322
Later, we arrested this man
who resisted arrest.
1097
00:53:46,323 --> 00:53:47,282
What's the charge?
1098
00:53:48,990 --> 00:53:52,407
He's charged with being on enclosed
premises for an unlawful purpose.
1099
00:53:52,408 --> 00:53:53,740
What's your name?
1100
00:53:53,741 --> 00:53:55,782
- John Lemley, sir.
- All right, search him.
1101
00:53:57,033 --> 00:53:58,575
I've seen you before tonight
somewhere, haven't I?
1102
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:00,823
Well? Anything to say?
1103
00:54:00,825 --> 00:54:02,323
Meister tipped you off, didn't he?
1104
00:54:02,325 --> 00:54:03,907
What's Meister got to do with this?
1105
00:54:03,908 --> 00:54:06,114
Look, he sent me to his office
to get a file.
1106
00:54:06,115 --> 00:54:08,032
He gave me those keys, it was a trap.
1107
00:54:08,033 --> 00:54:10,115
If it's a trap, as you say,
1108
00:54:10,116 --> 00:54:11,822
why not stay and explain it to the police?
1109
00:54:11,823 --> 00:54:14,865
'Cause can't you see?
I realised I was walking into a trap.
1110
00:54:14,866 --> 00:54:16,948
If you're innocent and victim of a trick,
1111
00:54:16,950 --> 00:54:18,073
now why should the police hold you?
1112
00:54:18,741 --> 00:54:19,990
'Cause I've got a record.
1113
00:54:19,991 --> 00:54:22,532
Mm-mm. I see.
1114
00:54:22,533 --> 00:54:23,575
I, um...
1115
00:54:24,116 --> 00:54:25,573
I came out of prison this morning.
1116
00:54:25,575 --> 00:54:26,865
Meister a friend of yours?
1117
00:54:26,866 --> 00:54:28,740
So friendly
that I landed with a four-year sentence
1118
00:54:28,741 --> 00:54:31,448
and look like landing with another one,
that's how friendly we are.
1119
00:54:31,450 --> 00:54:33,656
That's a pretty fantastic story, Lemly.
1120
00:54:33,657 --> 00:54:36,364
Whatever it is to you,
it's a real life nightmare to me.
1121
00:54:36,365 --> 00:54:38,364
All right, you'll be detained.
1122
00:54:38,365 --> 00:54:39,615
Take him away.
1123
00:54:39,616 --> 00:54:41,031
All right,
put him in number nine.
1124
00:54:41,032 --> 00:54:43,572
Look. Can I put a call through to Lisa?
I haven't done anything,
1125
00:54:43,573 --> 00:54:45,907
I'm not a criminal. All I want
is a chance to put things right with her.
1126
00:54:45,908 --> 00:54:48,198
You're under arrest,
let's not have any nonsense.
1127
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,406
Look, if anything happens to Lisa,
I'll kill him.
1128
00:54:50,407 --> 00:54:51,533
I'm warning you, I'll kill him!
1129
00:54:52,158 --> 00:54:53,365
Who's he gonna kill?
1130
00:54:53,366 --> 00:54:55,698
- Meister.
- Seems quite an epidemic.
1131
00:54:55,700 --> 00:54:56,907
I want a gun.
1132
00:54:56,908 --> 00:54:58,156
I beg your pardon, sir.
1133
00:54:58,157 --> 00:55:00,532
- I want a revolver.
- That's right, Sergeant.
1134
00:55:00,533 --> 00:55:03,240
Inspector Bliss of Scotland Yard
requires a revolver.
1135
00:55:03,241 --> 00:55:04,657
What you want it for, Bliss?
1136
00:55:04,658 --> 00:55:06,198
- Going ratting?
- Yes.
1137
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,490
- But you don't have to worry, Wembury.
- Thanks.
1138
00:55:08,491 --> 00:55:09,656
What do you want a gun for?
1139
00:55:09,657 --> 00:55:11,365
- What's that got to do with you?
- Oh, quite a bit.
1140
00:55:11,366 --> 00:55:12,907
This is my division, you know.
1141
00:55:12,908 --> 00:55:14,448
Any reason why I shouldn't have it?
1142
00:55:14,450 --> 00:55:15,741
No.
1143
00:55:16,783 --> 00:55:18,572
I should sign for it, though.
1144
00:55:18,573 --> 00:55:19,740
What's the matter, Bliss?
1145
00:55:19,741 --> 00:55:21,866
You seem to be forgetting the routine.
1146
00:55:22,657 --> 00:55:25,532
I've been a long time away
from this regulation-ridden country.
1147
00:55:27,116 --> 00:55:28,657
Good evening, Mr. Bliss.
1148
00:55:28,658 --> 00:55:31,365
Evening, doctor. You seem to live here.
1149
00:55:31,366 --> 00:55:33,198
- Found The Ringer yet?
- Not yet.
1150
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:34,407
You want to write another book?
1151
00:55:34,408 --> 00:55:35,907
Perhaps you will.
1152
00:55:35,908 --> 00:55:39,450
You know, sometimes I think it's folly
to be wise.
1153
00:55:40,241 --> 00:55:41,741
I wish he'd ask me why.
1154
00:55:42,325 --> 00:55:43,489
Why, sir?
1155
00:55:43,490 --> 00:55:47,490
When ignorance is bliss.
1156
00:55:47,491 --> 00:55:50,281
Curious the inspector doesn't know
station routine, innit, sir?
1157
00:55:50,282 --> 00:55:52,782
Everything is curious about Mr. Bliss,
Sergeant.
1158
00:55:52,783 --> 00:55:54,573
Bliss, I wonder
where he got that name from.
1159
00:55:54,575 --> 00:55:55,698
Perhaps it was his mother's.
1160
00:55:55,700 --> 00:55:57,157
What's Meister's phone number?
1161
00:55:57,158 --> 00:55:59,490
Uh, 2140, I think, sir.
1162
00:56:00,991 --> 00:56:04,615
- Yeah, that's right, sir.
- Yes, I'm worried about that boy's story.
1163
00:56:04,616 --> 00:56:06,157
It's Mr. Wembury.
1164
00:56:06,158 --> 00:56:07,698
Tell him I'm busy.
1165
00:56:07,700 --> 00:56:10,156
You can also tell him there is no need
for him to worry about me any longer.
1166
00:56:10,157 --> 00:56:11,615
I'm leaving the country tonight.
1167
00:56:12,283 --> 00:56:15,075
He's leaving. He's pushing off. Yeah.
1168
00:56:15,991 --> 00:56:17,073
For why?
1169
00:56:17,075 --> 00:56:18,906
Well, I'll tell you for why, Mr. Wembury.
1170
00:56:18,907 --> 00:56:20,823
Cora Ann's seen him.
1171
00:56:20,825 --> 00:56:23,156
Yeah. And for all I know,
I might've seen him too.
1172
00:56:23,157 --> 00:56:26,116
Tell him I'll be over right away,
I've got to see him before he goes.
1173
00:56:26,658 --> 00:56:28,281
Draw me a gun, Carter, will you?
1174
00:56:28,282 --> 00:56:29,281
Oh, right, sir.
1175
00:56:29,282 --> 00:56:30,240
What's the matter?
1176
00:56:30,241 --> 00:56:32,198
Meister's moving out.
1177
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,490
I've got to find out more
about that boy Lemley before he goes.
1178
00:56:35,491 --> 00:56:37,865
That girlfriend of yours
has been up to her tricks again.
1179
00:56:37,866 --> 00:56:39,157
You better come along.
1180
00:56:39,158 --> 00:56:41,532
You're the only friend
she's got around here.
1181
00:56:41,533 --> 00:56:43,406
She may need your help
if I lay my hands on her.
1182
00:56:43,407 --> 00:56:44,657
You're not going to shoot her?
1183
00:56:44,658 --> 00:56:47,240
Oh, come on!
1184
00:57:20,365 --> 00:57:22,365
Good evening. Mr. Meister?
1185
00:57:22,366 --> 00:57:24,072
He's packing, he's going away.
1186
00:57:24,073 --> 00:57:26,156
- Are you going away too, eh?
- Yes.
1187
00:57:26,157 --> 00:57:27,448
I'm waiting for my fiancé.
1188
00:57:27,450 --> 00:57:29,615
He's coming to fetch me any moment now.
1189
00:57:29,616 --> 00:57:30,990
- Who, Lemley?
- Yes.
1190
00:57:30,991 --> 00:57:32,033
Too bad.
1191
00:57:33,700 --> 00:57:36,157
- What's wrong?
- I'm afraid you'll have to put that off
1192
00:57:36,158 --> 00:57:38,032
for a bit. He's under arrest.
1193
00:57:39,450 --> 00:57:40,407
What has he done?
1194
00:57:40,408 --> 00:57:44,033
He broke into what is known as enclosed
premises, he's also charged with assault.
1195
00:57:44,658 --> 00:57:45,658
But...
1196
00:57:46,575 --> 00:57:48,698
But... is he in a prison?
1197
00:57:48,700 --> 00:57:50,990
For the time being,
he's just being detained.
1198
00:57:50,991 --> 00:57:52,739
How serious is it?
1199
00:57:52,740 --> 00:57:56,115
Very serious
unless his story can be corroborated.
1200
00:57:56,116 --> 00:57:59,116
Oh, Wembury, doctor,
how nice of you to come and see me off.
1201
00:57:59,658 --> 00:58:01,031
Why, Lisa dear, what's the matter?
1202
00:58:01,032 --> 00:58:02,782
I'd like a word with you.
1203
00:58:02,783 --> 00:58:03,741
What has happened?
1204
00:58:04,283 --> 00:58:05,323
Where is Johnny?
1205
00:58:05,325 --> 00:58:08,200
- Where do you think he is?
- He's been arrested.
1206
00:58:09,033 --> 00:58:10,532
- Is that so?
- That is so.
1207
00:58:10,533 --> 00:58:13,448
Acting on information received,
he was arrested this evening.
1208
00:58:17,408 --> 00:58:19,157
I'm terribly sorry about this, Lisa dear.
1209
00:58:19,158 --> 00:58:21,490
He was arrested in your office,
oddly enough.
1210
00:58:21,491 --> 00:58:24,240
In my office?
What on earth was he doing in my office?
1211
00:58:24,241 --> 00:58:26,658
We haven't quite cleared that up yet.
1212
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,156
Lisa, what stupidity have you been up to?
1213
00:58:29,157 --> 00:58:31,282
Now of all times when...
1214
00:58:32,408 --> 00:58:34,200
Don't cry. Look...
1215
00:58:35,033 --> 00:58:37,198
I'll do everything humanly possible
for him, I promise you.
1216
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,740
Oh, what can you do? What can anybody do?
1217
00:58:39,741 --> 00:58:42,657
Well, if there is a way out,
you can rest assured that I'll find it.
1218
00:58:43,408 --> 00:58:45,658
Let me talk to Wembury. Um...
1219
00:58:46,282 --> 00:58:49,700
Look,
you go up for a while, hmm? Come.
1220
00:58:50,658 --> 00:58:52,240
I've never let you down and I never shall.
1221
00:58:52,241 --> 00:58:55,197
If by any chance this matter
can't be straightened out,
1222
00:58:55,198 --> 00:58:56,282
you'll come with me.
1223
00:58:56,823 --> 00:58:58,700
You can't stay here alone
and you know why.
1224
00:59:00,825 --> 00:59:03,489
Why not let her
make up her own mind?
1225
00:59:03,490 --> 00:59:05,740
But can't I go and see him?
1226
00:59:05,741 --> 00:59:07,865
That's not possible,
now please go upstairs and wait.
1227
00:59:07,866 --> 00:59:10,532
I can settle this matter
much better on my own, and time is short.
1228
00:59:10,533 --> 00:59:12,075
That is, if you want me to help.
1229
00:59:19,783 --> 00:59:21,907
Hackett?
1230
00:59:21,908 --> 00:59:23,700
- You've seen Hackett?
- No.
1231
00:59:27,532 --> 00:59:29,572
Are you here again, Cora Ann?
1232
00:59:29,573 --> 00:59:30,865
I might say the same to you.
1233
00:59:30,866 --> 00:59:34,448
I just came to bid a fond farewell
to Mr. Meister, but...
1234
00:59:34,450 --> 00:59:37,240
What's the matter?
There's a queer vacant look in your eyes.
1235
00:59:37,241 --> 00:59:39,031
The vacancy isn't in my eyes.
1236
00:59:39,032 --> 00:59:40,616
I haven't eaten a thing since lunch.
1237
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:42,740
If you like,
you can take me out to supper.
1238
00:59:42,741 --> 00:59:44,948
Oh, I might miss some fun,
1239
00:59:44,950 --> 00:59:47,157
if The Ringer knows
that Meister's leaving.
1240
00:59:47,158 --> 00:59:49,322
You've got some strange ideas of fun.
1241
00:59:49,323 --> 00:59:51,447
Now why don't you take me out to supper?
1242
00:59:51,448 --> 00:59:53,698
- Are there any restaurants around here?
- Aye, but who'll pay?
1243
00:59:53,700 --> 00:59:56,697
I'll pay for it.
You can come along as my Scotch gigolo.
1244
00:59:56,698 --> 00:59:58,822
Oh, so you think I'm your type now?
1245
00:59:58,823 --> 01:00:00,990
You'll do. I'm not feeling
at all particular at the moment.
1246
01:00:00,991 --> 01:00:04,489
You're really tempting, Cora Ann.
It's such an economical proposition
1247
01:00:04,490 --> 01:00:05,823
that you nearly make me forget
1248
01:00:05,825 --> 01:00:07,740
- why I'm here.
- Why are you here?
1249
01:00:07,741 --> 01:00:10,948
In my professional capacity
in case of accidents.
1250
01:00:10,950 --> 01:00:13,490
- Come on, I'm hungry.
- Now, Cora Ann.
1251
01:00:13,491 --> 01:00:16,698
- Don't lure a man away from his duty.
- What duty?
1252
01:00:16,700 --> 01:00:19,572
The Ringer might feel
that he had something to say
1253
01:00:19,573 --> 01:00:21,282
to Mr. Meister before he left.
1254
01:00:21,283 --> 01:00:22,781
What, with all this police around?
1255
01:00:22,782 --> 01:00:24,697
He wouldn't be such a madman,
not even The Ringer.
1256
01:00:24,698 --> 01:00:27,447
I wonder how well you know him, Cora Ann.
1257
01:00:27,448 --> 01:00:29,573
There's a look in your eyes I don't like, doctor.
1258
01:00:32,491 --> 01:00:34,365
I'm not The Ringer's accomplice.
1259
01:00:34,366 --> 01:00:36,990
- You want to see him hang!
- Now don't be hysterical.
1260
01:00:36,991 --> 01:00:38,448
Your husband wouldn't like that.
1261
01:00:38,450 --> 01:00:40,989
He might be somewhere around
and it would worry him.
1262
01:00:40,990 --> 01:00:43,572
I'll give you five minutes, no more.
1263
01:00:43,573 --> 01:00:44,614
Doctor.
1264
01:00:44,615 --> 01:00:46,323
If you must make love
to The Ringer's wife,
1265
01:00:46,325 --> 01:00:48,865
you might choose another moment
and another place.
1266
01:00:48,866 --> 01:00:51,240
It would be more convenient
if you went home.
1267
01:00:51,241 --> 01:00:52,241
Why?
1268
01:00:53,116 --> 01:00:56,032
Because I don't want two tragedies
on my hands.
1269
01:00:57,741 --> 01:00:59,739
- Mr. Meister.
- I'm in a hurry, doctor.
1270
01:00:59,740 --> 01:01:02,781
I think I know the reason
for your bound hand.
1271
01:01:02,782 --> 01:01:04,240
- Is that all?
- Aye.
1272
01:01:04,241 --> 01:01:08,407
There's an old transformer here.
It must've worked the lift at some time.
1273
01:01:08,408 --> 01:01:11,323
{\an8}If the wires had been connected to that...
1274
01:01:11,325 --> 01:01:12,948
{\an8}...it might've prove fatal.
1275
01:01:12,950 --> 01:01:14,865
Now, are you listening to me?
1276
01:01:16,033 --> 01:01:19,323
How about that anonymous phone call
you made at the station tonight?
1277
01:01:19,325 --> 01:01:22,407
Oh, Wembury, I'm much too vain a man
to impart information anonymously,
1278
01:01:22,408 --> 01:01:23,490
you should know me better.
1279
01:01:23,491 --> 01:01:26,365
You fixed Lemley, didn't you?
For some purpose of your own.
1280
01:01:26,366 --> 01:01:28,948
Don't let's argue, my dear fellow,
let's part friends, shall we?
1281
01:01:28,950 --> 01:01:33,157
At least I'm saving you the trouble
and expense of guarding me any longer.
1282
01:01:33,158 --> 01:01:34,657
- Good evening.
- Mr. Meister?
1283
01:01:35,615 --> 01:01:37,656
- What do you want?
- I've got your tickets.
1284
01:01:37,657 --> 01:01:39,115
- I'll give them to him.
- I'm sorry.
1285
01:01:39,116 --> 01:01:40,448
I've got to get a signature for them.
1286
01:01:40,450 --> 01:01:41,823
All right, come this way.
1287
01:01:42,700 --> 01:01:44,698
- Your tickets.
- Oh, put them down, will you?
1288
01:01:44,700 --> 01:01:45,947
Two.
1289
01:01:45,948 --> 01:01:46,948
Will you sign this, please, sir?
1290
01:01:46,950 --> 01:01:47,991
Why two?
1291
01:01:48,615 --> 01:01:51,615
Why two?
Because Lisa is coming to America with me.
1292
01:01:51,616 --> 01:01:52,908
Oh, so that's it, is it?
1293
01:01:53,907 --> 01:01:56,782
I haven't time to sift your obscure ideas,
Wembury.
1294
01:01:56,783 --> 01:01:59,741
The fact is that Lisa will decide
to be realistic about this boy.
1295
01:02:00,283 --> 01:02:02,407
There must be an end
even to her patience. Thank you.
1296
01:02:02,408 --> 01:02:03,615
Thank you, sir.
1297
01:02:03,616 --> 01:02:05,864
So Lisa will decide, eh?
1298
01:02:05,865 --> 01:02:09,073
There are moments, Meister,
when I wish the police had wider powers.
1299
01:02:09,075 --> 01:02:11,031
To carry arms, perhaps, you mean?
1300
01:02:11,032 --> 01:02:13,448
Nothing so dramatic.
One fist will be enough.
1301
01:02:13,450 --> 01:02:14,990
Even the greater pleasure.
1302
01:02:14,991 --> 01:02:15,948
Schoolboy stuff, Wembury.
1303
01:02:15,950 --> 01:02:18,240
You don't know the world.
Go on and fetch me Lisa, will you?
1304
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,157
I'm taking this girl away
from a petty small time crook...
1305
01:02:22,158 --> 01:02:25,656
And lift her into the big time stuff.
Strange snobberies you people have.
1306
01:02:25,657 --> 01:02:28,907
- I'll give her a new life in America.
- Not if she goes with you.
1307
01:02:28,908 --> 01:02:30,408
She is going with me.
1308
01:02:31,282 --> 01:02:35,116
Do you know something, Meister? I could
cheerfully do The Ringer out of a job.
1309
01:02:35,783 --> 01:02:37,700
It would make rather an ass of the law,
wouldn't it?
1310
01:02:38,241 --> 01:02:41,198
Hackett. Hackett, Hackett!
1311
01:02:51,157 --> 01:02:52,283
Hey, you.
1312
01:03:24,532 --> 01:03:26,366
It'll only get me into trouble.
1313
01:03:27,908 --> 01:03:29,697
Good evening, Sergeant.
1314
01:03:29,698 --> 01:03:32,115
Look what they're doing to me.
Why don't you stop them hauling me down?
1315
01:03:32,116 --> 01:03:34,657
- What's the trouble?
- I saw this man behind Deptford Broadway
1316
01:03:34,658 --> 01:03:35,823
and asked him what he had in his bag.
1317
01:03:35,825 --> 01:03:38,531
That's exceeding your duty, Constable.
Go on, Sergeant, tick him off.
1318
01:03:38,532 --> 01:03:40,865
- He refused to open the bag.
- Now that's a lie.
1319
01:03:40,866 --> 01:03:42,781
Don't perjure yourself
in front of witnesses.
1320
01:03:42,782 --> 01:03:45,073
All I said was,
if you want the bag, take it.
1321
01:03:45,075 --> 01:03:46,240
Shut up, Hackett.
1322
01:03:46,241 --> 01:03:47,532
I then took him into custody.
1323
01:03:47,533 --> 01:03:49,489
Yes, that's the first
true words you've spoken.
1324
01:03:49,490 --> 01:03:52,323
Look here. He come up to me
and he give me a lot of madam, see?
1325
01:03:52,325 --> 01:03:53,407
So I said to him,
1326
01:03:53,408 --> 01:03:56,322
I don't want to be seen
talking to a bogey at this hour of night.
1327
01:03:56,323 --> 01:03:58,490
Then he got the dead needle
and pinched me.
1328
01:03:58,491 --> 01:04:01,531
Now I ask you, I wouldn't take
the liberty in your manner, now would I?
1329
01:04:01,532 --> 01:04:02,489
What's in the bag?
1330
01:04:02,490 --> 01:04:05,114
That's funny
you should mention that.
1331
01:04:05,115 --> 01:04:06,782
I was just gonna tell you about it.
1332
01:04:06,783 --> 01:04:10,198
Well, the truth of the matter is, see,
I was walking down a dark street.
1333
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:11,947
It was very dark, I could hardly see,
1334
01:04:11,948 --> 01:04:14,698
when all of a sudden,
I trod on something soft, see?
1335
01:04:14,700 --> 01:04:16,698
Well, I bent down to have a look.
1336
01:04:16,700 --> 01:04:20,323
Well, there was the bag,
so I said, "Now what are you doing there?"
1337
01:04:20,325 --> 01:04:21,657
And what did the bag say?
1338
01:04:21,658 --> 01:04:24,573
If I'm telling a lie,
may I be struck down this very minute.
1339
01:04:24,575 --> 01:04:26,115
Go on, nobody's heard you.
1340
01:04:26,116 --> 01:04:28,989
Well, then I got
my second breath, see?
1341
01:04:28,990 --> 01:04:32,490
Thought I'd bring it up to the police
station when I come to this bogey.
1342
01:04:32,491 --> 01:04:34,116
All right, let's have a look at it.
1343
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:37,364
What's that?
1344
01:04:37,365 --> 01:04:39,198
A silver teapot.
1345
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,198
Well, bless my soul.
1346
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:43,990
If it ain't old Meister's teapot.
1347
01:04:43,991 --> 01:04:46,657
Well, what a coincidence, eh?
1348
01:04:46,658 --> 01:04:48,533
I was only rubbing it up this morning.
1349
01:04:49,075 --> 01:04:52,031
Oh, well, it doesn't matter,
after all, he doesn't drink tea.
1350
01:04:52,032 --> 01:04:55,073
- Ah. And Meister's cash box.
- Yeah.
1351
01:04:55,741 --> 01:04:57,907
- And a wad of money.
- Yeah.
1352
01:04:57,908 --> 01:04:59,822
Oh, bad luck, Hackett.
1353
01:04:59,823 --> 01:05:01,282
- Yeah.
- Rank bad luck.
1354
01:05:01,907 --> 01:05:02,906
Yeah.
1355
01:05:02,907 --> 01:05:04,698
Here, that's good luck,
that's what I call it.
1356
01:05:04,700 --> 01:05:06,531
I ought to get a reward for this.
1357
01:05:06,532 --> 01:05:08,240
Here, you count that lot, will you?
1358
01:05:08,241 --> 01:05:11,490
I know what them coppers are, be turning
up here next week in a brand new suit.
1359
01:05:11,491 --> 01:05:12,657
All right, Hackett.
1360
01:05:12,658 --> 01:05:14,782
You're charged with being
in possession of property
1361
01:05:14,783 --> 01:05:16,447
reasonably suspected of being stolen
1362
01:05:16,448 --> 01:05:20,865
or unlawfully obtained in contravention of
Section 66 of the Metropolitan Police Act...
1363
01:05:20,866 --> 01:05:23,032
1839. Old, innit?
1364
01:05:23,033 --> 01:05:25,615
All right, it's a fair cop.
1365
01:05:25,616 --> 01:05:26,616
Name?
1366
01:05:27,241 --> 01:05:28,657
Samuel Cuthbert Hackett.
1367
01:05:28,658 --> 01:05:30,407
Samuel...
1368
01:05:30,408 --> 01:05:32,325
Cuthbert...
1369
01:05:32,866 --> 01:05:34,033
Hackett.
1370
01:05:34,575 --> 01:05:35,865
Address?
1371
01:05:35,866 --> 01:05:36,740
Buckingham Palace.
1372
01:05:37,365 --> 01:05:38,782
Bucking...
1373
01:05:39,948 --> 01:05:41,658
No fixed abode.
1374
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:43,989
What was your last job?
1375
01:05:43,990 --> 01:05:45,572
- Chambermaid.
- Get out of my way,
1376
01:05:45,573 --> 01:05:48,407
now, let me pass. I know he's here.
I want to see my husband.
1377
01:05:48,408 --> 01:05:51,032
- I know my rights.
- Truce. Here comes my biggest fan.
1378
01:05:51,033 --> 01:05:52,532
Sam Hackett, it's true.
1379
01:05:52,533 --> 01:05:55,365
I could hardly believe my ears
when they told me.
1380
01:05:55,366 --> 01:05:56,907
Please, Mrs. Hackett.
1381
01:05:56,908 --> 01:05:59,407
It's no good, Sergeant.
She never stops once she starts.
1382
01:05:59,408 --> 01:06:01,739
Call yourself an expert
being found with the goods on you.
1383
01:06:01,740 --> 01:06:05,364
Why didn't you bury the stuff in the
back garden and come back later for it?
1384
01:06:05,365 --> 01:06:07,323
You're slipping, that's what you are,
Sam Hackett.
1385
01:06:07,325 --> 01:06:08,865
But I told you I was out of training.
1386
01:06:08,866 --> 01:06:11,365
And for a mouldy bit of silver like this.
1387
01:06:11,366 --> 01:06:12,697
Here.
1388
01:06:12,698 --> 01:06:14,781
Haven't I seen this before?
1389
01:06:14,782 --> 01:06:16,698
Didn't you knock this off
last time you was out
1390
01:06:16,700 --> 01:06:18,447
and then flogged it to Mr. Meister?
1391
01:06:18,448 --> 01:06:21,782
Well, I like that, flog it to Mr. Meister
and then pinch it back off him again.
1392
01:06:21,783 --> 01:06:23,865
That's plain dishonest, you know,
Sam Hackett.
1393
01:06:23,866 --> 01:06:26,657
Sorry, Mrs. Hackett.
We got to take him down now.
1394
01:06:26,658 --> 01:06:28,032
Number seven.
1395
01:06:28,033 --> 01:06:31,073
Quite a full house tonight.
1396
01:06:31,075 --> 01:06:33,782
Come on, ducks,
perhaps I'll be home for Christmas.
1397
01:06:33,783 --> 01:06:36,032
But it's gonna be a hard grind
for me and the kids
1398
01:06:36,033 --> 01:06:38,782
until you can get back
on the job again, Sam.
1399
01:06:39,616 --> 01:06:43,823
I mean, it's not as if we were married,
I get no family allowance or anything.
1400
01:06:43,825 --> 01:06:46,115
It's gone up three bob now, you know.
1401
01:06:47,157 --> 01:06:49,697
Well, look, ducks, I'll tell you what.
1402
01:06:49,698 --> 01:06:53,364
As soon as I get out of here
and I've done my first job,
1403
01:06:53,365 --> 01:06:54,865
we'll make it legal, see.
1404
01:06:55,825 --> 01:06:58,365
I'll marry you!
1405
01:06:58,366 --> 01:07:00,072
Oh, Sam!
1406
01:07:00,073 --> 01:07:01,739
Sarg, there's no one in number nine.
1407
01:07:01,740 --> 01:07:03,865
- The door's open.
- Number nine?
1408
01:07:03,866 --> 01:07:05,822
Lemley!
1409
01:07:05,823 --> 01:07:07,447
Are you sure he got away?
1410
01:07:07,448 --> 01:07:10,282
Yes, sir.
The door in the station yard is open, sir.
1411
01:07:10,283 --> 01:07:13,072
Well, get the duty car to go round
and warn all patrols.
1412
01:07:13,073 --> 01:07:15,365
You can describe the man.
When did this happen?
1413
01:07:15,366 --> 01:07:17,157
When they took them their meal, sir.
1414
01:07:17,158 --> 01:07:20,615
Get onto the night officer of the yard
and circulate the description.
1415
01:07:20,616 --> 01:07:22,406
Right, sir.
1416
01:07:22,407 --> 01:07:24,907
Get onto the yard and circulate
Lemley's description right away.
1417
01:07:24,908 --> 01:07:25,865
Right, Sergeant.
1418
01:07:25,866 --> 01:07:27,739
He threatens to murder Meister,
then he escapes.
1419
01:07:27,740 --> 01:07:30,864
- What am I supposed to think?
- But Johnny doesn't think like you.
1420
01:07:30,865 --> 01:07:33,531
He's been in prison for a long time.
He thinks everybody's against him.
1421
01:07:33,532 --> 01:07:36,114
But there's a reasonable chance
I might have been able to help him.
1422
01:07:36,115 --> 01:07:37,823
But... but not now?
1423
01:07:37,825 --> 01:07:39,781
I don't know. He may have to go back,
he may not.
1424
01:07:39,782 --> 01:07:42,781
Oh, please,
don't tell me one thing, then another.
1425
01:07:42,782 --> 01:07:44,406
Please tell me, where is he?
1426
01:07:44,407 --> 01:07:47,865
I don't know, probably on his way here
to stop you going away with Meister.
1427
01:07:47,866 --> 01:07:50,072
On his way here? But--
1428
01:07:50,073 --> 01:07:51,572
But I'm not going away with Mr. Meister.
1429
01:07:51,573 --> 01:07:53,073
Yeah, well, he seems to think you are.
1430
01:07:53,075 --> 01:07:56,115
I'm going to stay here even if
I have to break every law there is.
1431
01:07:56,116 --> 01:07:57,447
Like Johnny?
1432
01:07:57,448 --> 01:08:00,947
Dear, oh dear. I've never seen
such a terrible mess
1433
01:08:00,948 --> 01:08:03,072
as they've made of these burglar alarms.
1434
01:08:03,073 --> 01:08:07,115
It's a mercy they've never been needed.
Where is that electrician?
1435
01:08:07,116 --> 01:08:08,657
He's gone home, I suppose.
1436
01:08:08,658 --> 01:08:10,157
I wish you'd gone home too.
1437
01:08:10,158 --> 01:08:14,198
I will when I've tried to disconnect
this Heath Robinson contraption.
1438
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:17,032
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
this is where we say goodbye.
1439
01:08:17,033 --> 01:08:19,822
I hope you have enjoyed my hospitality
and that the good times had by all,
1440
01:08:19,823 --> 01:08:21,864
but now the silly game is over
and I'm locking up.
1441
01:08:21,865 --> 01:08:23,447
You'll be glad to be away.
1442
01:08:23,448 --> 01:08:26,865
Thank you. Goodbye, Mrs. Milton,
thanks for the timely warning.
1443
01:08:26,866 --> 01:08:29,614
It's a little secret you will have to keep
from your husband, I take it.
1444
01:08:29,615 --> 01:08:31,073
Goodbye, Bliss.
1445
01:08:31,075 --> 01:08:33,740
I shall watch the English papers
for further news of your success.
1446
01:08:33,741 --> 01:08:34,698
Goodbye, doctor.
1447
01:08:34,700 --> 01:08:36,031
What are you doing there?
1448
01:08:36,032 --> 01:08:36,989
I'm just pottering.
1449
01:08:36,990 --> 01:08:38,700
Well, stop pottering, I'm locking up.
1450
01:08:39,991 --> 01:08:40,991
Aye.
1451
01:08:41,991 --> 01:08:43,656
I'm not coming with you.
1452
01:08:43,657 --> 01:08:45,406
Johnny is out. He's on his way here.
1453
01:08:45,407 --> 01:08:47,365
- Out? Who said so?
- He's escaped.
1454
01:08:48,783 --> 01:08:52,365
It's a trick, Lisa, a police trick.
No one ever escapes.
1455
01:08:52,366 --> 01:08:53,656
It's a very cruel thing, Wembury,
1456
01:08:53,657 --> 01:08:55,781
to raise hope when you know
the situation as well as I do.
1457
01:08:55,782 --> 01:08:57,115
Better than you, shall we say.
1458
01:08:57,116 --> 01:08:59,281
What does that mean? You--
1459
01:08:59,282 --> 01:09:02,740
You tell me things and I don't understand
what you mean. Where is Johnny?
1460
01:09:02,741 --> 01:09:05,531
The old
cat and mouse game, my dear.
1461
01:09:05,532 --> 01:09:08,407
If he has escaped, he'll be back
under lock and key before the day is over.
1462
01:09:08,408 --> 01:09:10,157
If he were free,
why don't you produce him, Bliss?
1463
01:09:10,158 --> 01:09:11,281
Give us time.
1464
01:09:11,282 --> 01:09:13,947
Time? Not much to ask
when we've got a couple of minutes only.
1465
01:09:13,948 --> 01:09:15,657
Can't you see what nonsense this is, Lisa?
1466
01:09:15,658 --> 01:09:17,282
Whom are you prepared to trust?
1467
01:09:17,283 --> 01:09:19,697
Me, whom you've known for two years,
or the police,
1468
01:09:19,698 --> 01:09:22,657
who locked Johnny up and then tried to
insinuate there may have been a mistake?
1469
01:09:22,658 --> 01:09:24,032
Insinuate nothing.
1470
01:09:24,033 --> 01:09:25,782
We haven't yet proved him guilty,
that's all.
1471
01:09:25,783 --> 01:09:27,240
You will.
1472
01:09:27,241 --> 01:09:28,782
Get the luggage into the car.
1473
01:09:28,783 --> 01:09:30,572
Now don't be sidetracked
by this last minute nonsense, Lisa.
1474
01:09:30,573 --> 01:09:32,323
Let's discuss it in the plane.
1475
01:09:32,325 --> 01:09:34,490
If you still feel strongly about it,
you can always come back.
1476
01:09:34,491 --> 01:09:36,406
There is nothing final
about you coming with me.
1477
01:09:36,407 --> 01:09:38,698
But I should have no peace of mind
if I left you here now
1478
01:09:38,700 --> 01:09:40,825
under the circumstances. Don't you see?
1479
01:09:44,450 --> 01:09:47,115
- I--
- Yes, of course you do. Now we must hurry.
1480
01:09:47,116 --> 01:09:50,115
- Where are the tickets?
- I think you left them on your desk.
1481
01:09:50,116 --> 01:09:51,825
Oh, yes, of course.
1482
01:10:08,615 --> 01:10:10,365
I'm afraid there's nothing I can do.
1483
01:10:10,366 --> 01:10:12,948
But he just can't be dead like that, man.
Do something, quick!
1484
01:10:12,950 --> 01:10:16,406
But he is dead. Keep your hands away
from that, Bliss, don't touch it!
1485
01:10:16,407 --> 01:10:18,989
That's what it is, he's been electrocuted.
1486
01:10:18,990 --> 01:10:22,114
I'll-- I'll go and switch off
at the mains. Don't you touch that.
1487
01:10:22,115 --> 01:10:24,450
Oh, what a terrible thing.
1488
01:10:30,825 --> 01:10:32,366
Electrocuted, eh?
1489
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:37,157
The wires must have been touching
the tray and acted as a conductor.
1490
01:10:37,158 --> 01:10:39,407
- And the tickets were on the tray.
- Yeah.
1491
01:10:40,658 --> 01:10:42,240
They took him further than he reckoned.
1492
01:11:01,366 --> 01:11:03,616
{\an8}Distilled in Australia, eh?
1493
01:11:07,700 --> 01:11:09,073
Why the stethoscope?
1494
01:11:09,616 --> 01:11:13,156
It was foolish of the old boy to, uh,
1495
01:11:13,157 --> 01:11:15,075
tamper with this thing, wasn't it?
1496
01:11:15,950 --> 01:11:18,364
Someone who knows nothing
about electricity.
1497
01:11:18,365 --> 01:11:21,697
Or for someone
who knows a great deal about electricity.
1498
01:11:21,698 --> 01:11:23,490
Mrs. Milton.
1499
01:11:23,491 --> 01:11:25,989
I'd be grateful
if you'd stand just where you are.
1500
01:11:25,990 --> 01:11:28,573
What a terrible thing.
1501
01:11:28,575 --> 01:11:30,532
Still, you never know.
1502
01:11:30,533 --> 01:11:33,533
Perhaps Meister was lucky
to die like this.
1503
01:11:34,073 --> 01:11:36,615
He might've met The Ringer one day and...
1504
01:11:36,616 --> 01:11:39,447
then it probably wouldn't have been
so painless.
1505
01:11:39,448 --> 01:11:41,032
We think he has met The Ringer.
1506
01:11:43,782 --> 01:11:45,865
Now what makes you say that, Bliss?
1507
01:11:46,532 --> 01:11:48,989
- Where?
- You can drop the accent.
1508
01:11:48,990 --> 01:11:52,072
Yes, it's been rather
getting on our nerves, doctor.
1509
01:11:52,073 --> 01:11:54,365
Harry Lauder
made a fortune out of it.
1510
01:11:54,366 --> 01:11:55,823
You won't.
1511
01:11:55,825 --> 01:11:57,197
I don't have to.
1512
01:11:57,198 --> 01:12:00,197
Get the policeman, Wembury,
stop this nonsense.
1513
01:12:03,075 --> 01:12:06,073
My dear, chap,
isn't that my whiskey?
1514
01:12:06,075 --> 01:12:07,656
Good heavens, yes.
1515
01:12:07,657 --> 01:12:10,656
Really special stuff,
you can't get it in this country.
1516
01:12:10,657 --> 01:12:13,532
Will you have one?
You may never have another chance.
1517
01:12:13,533 --> 01:12:15,240
I'll see to that, Dr. Lomond.
1518
01:12:15,241 --> 01:12:17,864
So probably shall I,
but don't call me doctor, please.
1519
01:12:17,865 --> 01:12:19,407
It makes me feel such a fraud.
1520
01:12:19,408 --> 01:12:22,114
You see, there was a real Dr. Lomond,
a very nice old chap.
1521
01:12:22,115 --> 01:12:24,740
He died in Australia while he was
treating me for kangaroo bite.
1522
01:12:24,741 --> 01:12:25,990
Kangaroos do bite, you know.
1523
01:12:25,991 --> 01:12:28,740
He had very excellent credentials,
quite wonderful.
1524
01:12:28,741 --> 01:12:31,741
Scotland Yard always insists
on excellent credentials.
1525
01:12:32,407 --> 01:12:33,364
So I borrowed them.
1526
01:12:33,365 --> 01:12:35,614
Impersonation and murder.
1527
01:12:35,615 --> 01:12:40,073
Murder? You mean this unfortunate accident
to Meister?
1528
01:12:40,075 --> 01:12:41,906
You'll find it very hard
to prove anything else.
1529
01:12:41,907 --> 01:12:44,114
My dear Bliss, think again.
1530
01:12:44,115 --> 01:12:45,407
Arthur.
1531
01:12:45,408 --> 01:12:48,948
Oh, my dear. I'm so sorry, how are you?
1532
01:12:48,950 --> 01:12:51,282
You let Lemley out of the cell tonight, why?
1533
01:12:51,283 --> 01:12:52,447
My dear Wembury,
1534
01:12:52,448 --> 01:12:54,365
he'd no business to be there,
you know that as well as I do.
1535
01:12:54,366 --> 01:12:57,782
Well, you won't find a good Samaritan
ready to let you out once you're in.
1536
01:12:57,783 --> 01:12:59,990
And you'll stay there
for the rest of your life.
1537
01:12:59,991 --> 01:13:02,200
I don't think Arthur
would want to live as long as that.
1538
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:14,157
I think
you'd better look after the doctor.
1539
01:13:32,158 --> 01:13:34,156
Take the car
and get some men down here quickly.
1540
01:13:34,157 --> 01:13:36,157
Very good, sir.
1541
01:13:44,448 --> 01:13:46,572
He's still in the house, that's certain.
1542
01:13:46,573 --> 01:13:47,572
Anybody go through this door?
1543
01:13:47,573 --> 01:13:50,448
No, sir. Nobody passed me from the time
I heard the shot till I came in.
1544
01:13:50,450 --> 01:13:52,323
There's a cordon around the house
already outside.
1545
01:13:52,325 --> 01:13:54,532
They're sending more men down
from the station to search inside.
1546
01:13:54,533 --> 01:13:56,407
- They'll be here in a few minutes.
- Right.
1547
01:14:05,323 --> 01:14:07,948
Do you realise where you stand,
Mrs. Milton?
1548
01:14:07,950 --> 01:14:10,907
Obstructing the law,
helping a prisoner to escape.
1549
01:14:10,908 --> 01:14:13,157
You're going to be out of circulation
for quite some time.
1550
01:14:13,158 --> 01:14:16,323
That'll be a nice rest. I've been doing
too much travelling lately.
1551
01:14:16,325 --> 01:14:17,864
You'd better get her out of here.
1552
01:14:17,865 --> 01:14:19,698
Come on. We start upstairs.
1553
01:14:19,700 --> 01:14:21,947
There's been an accident.
1554
01:14:21,948 --> 01:14:23,657
Get a man to watch Mrs. Milton.
1555
01:14:23,658 --> 01:14:25,156
I'll have to take one
off the guard outside.
1556
01:14:25,157 --> 01:14:27,239
- No, don't do that.
- But listen to me, Johnny.
1557
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:29,698
If you want, I'll come to you,
but we won't have a chance.
1558
01:14:29,700 --> 01:14:30,990
Give me that.
1559
01:14:30,991 --> 01:14:33,198
Hello? Lemley?
1560
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:34,823
This is Inspector Wembury speaking.
1561
01:14:34,825 --> 01:14:36,032
Now listen to me.
1562
01:14:36,033 --> 01:14:38,697
The sooner you realise
you're in serious trouble, the better.
1563
01:14:38,698 --> 01:14:40,781
No, no, I don't want any excuses.
1564
01:14:40,782 --> 01:14:42,698
Look, if I come round,
will you promise me that...
1565
01:14:42,700 --> 01:14:44,573
And I'm not making any promises!
1566
01:14:44,575 --> 01:14:45,658
What?
1567
01:14:46,616 --> 01:14:47,907
Well, where are you?
1568
01:14:47,908 --> 01:14:49,573
Well, come here immediately.
1569
01:14:49,575 --> 01:14:52,156
No. No!
1570
01:14:52,157 --> 01:14:54,573
You're gonna have trouble
with that young man.
1571
01:14:54,575 --> 01:14:56,990
- Who are you?
- Tele, sir, F division.
1572
01:14:56,991 --> 01:14:59,240
I've come here looking for a man called
Lemley believed to be on the premises.
1573
01:14:59,241 --> 01:15:00,823
Well, never mind about that now.
1574
01:15:00,825 --> 01:15:03,450
Atkins,
bring Mrs. Milton out here, will you?
1575
01:15:04,158 --> 01:15:06,157
I've, uh, I've seen you
before somewhere, haven't I?
1576
01:15:06,158 --> 01:15:09,240
Yes, sir.
I used to be in your division, sir.
1577
01:15:10,575 --> 01:15:12,240
Well, take Mrs. Milton
down to Flanders Lane.
1578
01:15:12,241 --> 01:15:14,114
You ought to have another man,
but we can't spare one.
1579
01:15:14,115 --> 01:15:15,490
Don't worry, sir, I can manage.
1580
01:15:15,491 --> 01:15:17,782
I'm glad to hear
somebody's got so much confidence.
1581
01:15:17,783 --> 01:15:19,573
- Uh, Mr. Wembury, sir.
- Well, what is it?
1582
01:15:19,575 --> 01:15:22,364
I'd like to get back to your division
if there should ever be a vacancy.
1583
01:15:22,365 --> 01:15:24,240
- I enjoyed working with you, sir.
- Did you now?
1584
01:15:24,241 --> 01:15:26,198
- Good night, sir.
- Good night.
1585
01:15:35,700 --> 01:15:38,740
- Where's the driver?
- Searching the ground, I think, sir.
1586
01:15:38,741 --> 01:15:41,281
Shall I take Mrs. Milton down to
Flanders Lane and then come straight back?
1587
01:15:41,282 --> 01:15:42,322
- All right.
- Right, sir.
1588
01:15:42,323 --> 01:15:43,616
Mr. Wembury.
1589
01:15:45,323 --> 01:15:46,616
Come here!
1590
01:15:51,491 --> 01:15:54,198
- What would happen if I kissed you?
- Arthur, shut up.
1591
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:55,490
No, tell me, what would happen?
1592
01:15:55,491 --> 01:15:58,240
I'd probably give you away
like I nearly did at the police station.
1593
01:15:58,241 --> 01:16:00,989
When Bliss came in. Poor old Bliss,
they all thought it was him.
1594
01:16:00,990 --> 01:16:01,866
Arthur, please.
1595
01:16:02,700 --> 01:16:04,114
Now where do you want to go to?
1596
01:16:04,115 --> 01:16:06,573
Anywhere,
so long as you can get us out of this.
1597
01:16:06,575 --> 01:16:07,865
Peru?
1598
01:16:07,866 --> 01:16:09,157
Is it warm in Peru?
1599
01:16:09,158 --> 01:16:11,447
The sun shines all day
and the moon shines all night.
1600
01:16:11,448 --> 01:16:14,073
- Let's go there, then.
- Right.
1601
01:16:14,075 --> 01:16:17,157
Go on, get into the house
before anything more happens to you.
1602
01:16:17,158 --> 01:16:19,616
Go and ask Lisa to keep an eye on you.
Go on!
1603
01:16:22,033 --> 01:16:23,658
All right, on your way.
1604
01:16:31,366 --> 01:16:32,450
Do you love me,
1605
01:16:33,198 --> 01:16:34,533
Cora Ann?
