[ MUSIC PLAYING ]

Whatever you do, Scotty, don't forget Job Corps 936.

I won't.

It's promised for Monday.

It'll be here.

Now, let me see, what else is there?

- Nothing. - Oh, yes.

How's the job?

Just finished, Mr. Sewell, ready for the test.

Good.

Do that first thing Monday.

Right.

Started on this yet?

Look, your holiday's just beginning.

You want to go away and enjoy it.

No, I just want to check.

You've been checking all day, man. Now forget the job and go home.

- Right, I will. - When do you set off?

In the morning? - Yes.

It's hard to get the holiday spirit after three years.

I've forgotten what it feels like.

I wouldn't miss mine for all the tea in China.

I just count the days.

I must say, it would be nice, two weeks

in the sun, nothing to do but laze.

No alarm clock in the morning.

I wouldn't bank too much on the sun.

You can get bad weather, you know, even in the south of France.

Oh no, give me good old Blackpool any day.

Goodbye to all of this for three weeks.

Coming?

No, carry on.

I'll catch up.

See you at the station.

You're on holiday, all right.

Why?

Not reading a paper.

Oh.

Can't settle to it.

I thought so.

And I shouldn't try to settle to it, if I were you.

Not much holiday feeling about this little lot.

Crisis, robbery, murder.

What a world.

Here's a nasty business, killing an old night watchman in cold blood.

I hope they get the--

[ TRAIN WHISTLE ]

Taking a caravan, are you?

Well, that's fine.

Personally, I wouldn't be found dead in one.

Well, it's my wife's idea.

Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed,

but I think that's terrible.

It'll save hotel expenses.

False economy.

CONDUCTOR: Tickets, please.

All tickets, please.

Have a nice day there, John.

Thanks, Scotty.

Oh, and remember, send me a nice French postcard, will you?

You know, a view of Paris, eh?

So long.

CONDUCTOR: Goodbye.

[ DRAMATIC MUSIC ]

CONDUCTOR: Fares, please.

WOMAN: Six more, please.

CONDUCTOR: Thank you.

Mr. Dewar?

What?

I'm ever so sorry to trouble you again.

It's about the rent.

What do I owe you?

Well, it'll be three weeks' tomorrow.

If I pay you, that'd give you a shock, wouldn't it?

I'd be ever so pleased if you could.

You see, with my husband off work, it makes things a bit awkward.

Is he in?

No, he's gone after a job.

Just been paid.

Got a bonus.

Oh, that is nice for you.

Thank you very much.

Dad, Daddy!

Daddy, Daddy.

We've got something wonderful to show you.

You must come and see the caravan.

Daddy, we've got a surprise.

It's lovely.

And, Dad, it's got the most beautiful toilet.

Well, that's really something.

But I think you'll find it's only a washbasin.

Come and see the inside.

How do you like it, Mary?

It's lovely, John.

Come and see the inside.

I'm going to wash up when I'm away.

I'm going to sleep here.

I'm having this one.

Oh, it's very nice.

It's quite roomy.

It's just like home.

Are we really going to see the Eiffel Tower?

I hope so.

How's your French, Dad?

Oh, it's terrible.

Your mother's the one who will get us out of trouble.

Oh, I hope.

Well, we seem to be all packed.

I can't do anything else.

Let's go have some tea, shall we? I'm gasping for it.

So am I.

Don't upset anything, you two.

No, we won't, Mummy.

Let's get into mischief, shall we?

Amazing to think that this box on wheels

is going to be our home for the next three weeks.

Amazing.

Scotty thinks they're terrible.

Who cares what Scotty thinks?

Did you remember the passport? - Yes.

Do you know, I'm really looking forward to this holiday.

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC ]

Don't talk.

Well, is something the matter?

Yes, there's a couple outside.

Tell them I'm not here.

Oh, I can't do that for you.

I'll use this if you don't do as I tell you.

Good evening, Madam.

I'm a police officer.

Oh, yes?

I understand a man named Terence Dewar lives here.

Yes, he does.

Is he here now?

No, I'm afraid not.

What time do you expect him?

Oh.

Oh, I really couldn't say.

He's usually pretty late.

- Do you mind if I look in his room? - Oh, but he's not up there, really.

I don't doubt you, but it would save a lot of trouble

if I could see his room.

Thank you.

Stay here, Crawley.

Yes, sir.

Do you want me to come up?

No, I won't trouble you.

Just tell me where the room is.

Oh, it's the one nearest the staircase on the left.

Thank you.

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC ]

If he comes back, please don't mention we've been here.

All right.

There's an alleyway at the back. Drop me at the corner.

I want to look around.

Get in there and keep quiet.

Watch the back, Crawley.

Yes, sir.

Hey, you!

[ FAST MUSIC ]

Come on Dewar, don't be a fool.

That's exactly my advice to you, copper.

It won't do you any good.

Keep back.

I can only hang once.

I'm taking you in, Dewar.

I warn you.

Calling all cars in Z area, a police officer

has been attacked whilst trying to arrest Terence Dewar,

wanted for questioning in connection with the murder of a night

watchman.

Dewar's description is as follows--

Height, six feet, dark complexion, black hair and moustache.

REPORTER: Earlier this evening, a man

wanted for questioning in connection with the murder of the night

watchman at Mosley Street Warehouse, Birmingham,

attacked and severely injured a police officer

who attempted to detain him.

Say goodnight to Daddy.

- Good night, Daddy. - Good night.

Good night, good night, good night, good night.

Hey, don't smother me. - What time are we leaving?

The sooner you get to bed, the sooner we leave.

Daddy, do French people eat frogs?

Millions of them.

Now, off you go. - Did you go to France in the war?

- I did. - Now, come along, you two.

Is that why you won the VC?

Hey, the MC.

What's MC?

Military Cross.

That's better than a VC, isn't it?

Oh, not quite.

Now, off you go, come on.

Daddy, you said you'd show us the way on the map.

You did.

You promised.

All right, you two.

Here we are.

Now, we start from here.

Is this where we live?

Of course, silly.

Along this main road going--

South.

That's right.

And round about here, we get into the country.

Can we see the cows being milked?

That's done very early in the morning.

When do we go through London?

In the afternoon, but we must push straight onto the forest here.

- We'll sleep in the caravan there? - Yes, darling.

That'll be our first night in the caravan.

Oh, let's go now.

I don't want to wait until tomorrow.

What happens next?

Ah, then it really starts.

We get up, have our breakfast in the open air, just like a picnic,

and then push straight on to Dover.

That's where the ship's waiting for us.

Hope it does wait.

It will, but I'm not going to wait another minute.

Off to bed now.

Daddy, shall we start at 6:00?

Then we'll have a nice long day.

If you don't go to sleep straight away, you won't wake up in time.

Just think of it, sleeping in a forest like Robin Hood.

Robin Hood didn't have a caravan, silly.

They weren't invented.

[ EXCITED CHATTER ]

All aboard. Come on, you two, it's ten minutes--

- Come on, we don't want to be late. - Come on.

Hurry up. Quickly.

[ CONTINUED CHATTER ]

- Will we stop at the baker's--? - Sure.

Did you remember to lock the front door?

Darling, I remembered everything except the bread.

Did you remember to cancel the newspaper?

Thank you.

We won't be wanting any papers for the next three weeks.

Will you tell Mr. Keeney? - Yes, ma'am.

Going away on a holiday?

Yes.

Well, enjoy it.

Thank you.

I remembered everything except the newspapers.

[ ALL LAUGHING ]

[ FESTIVE MUSIC ]

Goodness, what a terrible thing.

What's that now?

There's a policeman attacked last night in this district.

Good heavens.

Sergeant Daley was attacked while trying to arrest the armed man

Terence Dewar, wanted for questioning

in connection with the murder of a night watchman.

Bad business, that.

There's a photograph.

Let's see, Mum.

Gosh.

Here we are, dear.

Oh.

MICHAEL: Dad?

JOHN: Mm-hmm?

MICHAEL: Why didn't the policeman shoot him first?

Police don't carry guns.

They do in pictures.

Hm?

Oh, only American pictures.

Dad, what would you have done if he'd pulled a gun on you?

Well, now.

What, Dad?

So long as there was an ounce of breath left in my body--

Yes?

I'd have gone for him with my bare hands.

Gosh.

MARY: Well, that's that.

And we're off!

[ FESTIVE MUSIC ]

That's funny.

What is?

I could have sworn--

Mummy?

Just a minute, dear.

Good heavens.

Don't say I--

Don't keep me in suspense.

It's the boat tickets.

I distinctly remember putting them in the pocket.

That was when you bought them, I expect.

Mummy?

Oh, don't worry Mommy for a moment, darling.

But last night you gave them to me, remember?

Oh, John, you are the limit.

Why didn't you say so?

Mummy?

Yes, darling, what is it?

John, Ann wants to stop for a minute.

What, already?

It'll be all right if you stop somewhere along here.

Come with Mummy, darling.

Now, Mummy, can I bring Sue?

No, I should leave her behind.

What the devil did I did do with the maps?

Put them in the caravan.

Of course, I did.

I'll get them for you.

Here's the key.

[ GASPING ]

[ SCREAMING ]

Hold it.

Get this thing off the main road.

What do you think you're doing?

I'll tell you when you've done what I said.

- Mary, stay where you are. - John.

I know.

Where do you think this is going to get you, Dewar?

We'll talk about that later.

Come on, Michael.

Oh, no.

He stays with me.

That's what you think.

One more step, and you'll all get it.

You're gonna be sensible.

If anything happens to that boy, Dewar--

You'll have yourself to blame.

Now do as I say.

Get this off the road and come back here so we can talk.

Dad, you're not going?

Yes.

I'll be back in a minute.

It'll be all right.

Come on.

You can't keep him with that murderer.

I've got to.

There must be a policeman somewhere.

Mary, the--

It's horrible.

How can you leave Michael alone with him?

Mary, listen to me for a minute.

What?

[ SOBBING ]

Mary, we've got to do what he says--

For the moment, at least.

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC ]

Mummy?

Yes, dear?

Who's that man?

Just somebody we're giving a lift to, darling.

What's he want?

I told you, a lift.

Why is Michael in there with him?

Ann, don't keep on at your mother.

But why is Michael in there with him?

Be quiet.

You said that we couldn't have a ride.

So why--

Will you be quiet?

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC ]

- No, you better stay here with Ann. - I want to come with you.

It'd be better--

I can't stand it.

I've got to know.

Come on, then.

Now we can talk.

Not too far, sonny.

Where are you heading for?

Just around the south coast.

That'll be nice for you.

What's your name?

John Sewell.

Right.

Let's get this straight.

You know who I am and what I'm wanted for, OK?

If they catch me, I'm for the high jump, but they won't catch me.

You seem pretty sure.

They won't catch me because you're going to see they don't.

Get the idea?

Not quite.

You wouldn't like anything to happen to the kid, would you?

You see, I've got nothing to lose, nothing at all.

How do you think I can help you?

We may be stopped by the police.

Just answer their questions nice and polite and tell them

it's the first you've heard of me.

Once I get through the police block, I'll leave you alone.

Oh, and one other thing.

I keep an eye on you from the front.

Don't forget, I can see every move you make.

The kid'll be all right unless they find me.

You mean that-- that it--

I mean that you're going to try very hard to get me through.

If they find me, I shall think you haven't tried.

Let's get started, shall we?

Wait a minute.

I want to ride in the back as well.

You'll do as you're told.

Dad!

All right, son.

He's not far away.

Let me go.

Come on, now.

Easy does it.

Just keep nice and quiet.

We'll get along fine.

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC ]

Why should a thing like this have to happen to us?

He won't be with us long.

Once we're past the police block--

If we get past.

John, what if they do look in the back?

They won't, darling.

They won't open it.

I'll see to that.

Where are you going for your holiday, son?

Don't know.

That's a silly thing to say.

Big boy like you, and you don't know where you're going?

I won't tell you.

Keeping it a secret?

[ CHUCKLING ]

[ HORN HONKING ]

You're not just going to the coast.

England's not much fun for a holiday, is it?

I suppose you have a lot of toys like this at home.

Yes.

Lucky kid.

Ever been abroad?

No.

- Like to go? - No.

Then you won't enjoy this holiday much, will you?

What do you mean?

This. This is what I mean.

You're going to France, aren't you? - No.

You're lying, and I don't like liars.

It's just an old map.

Brand new and proof that you lied to me.

Don't do it again.

I find out everything.

Going to France, eh?

You've got passports, I suppose.

I don't know.

Where are they?

I won't tell you.

All right.

I could find them, I expect.

Get away from there.

That's my dad's.

You wait till I tell him.

Tell me.

What will he do?

My dad was a soldier.

He's brave.

He's got a medal.

He'll go for you with his bare hands.

Forget it, son.

He'll do as he's told.

So will you.

And the others.

Ah, I thought so.

Here they are.

[ FRANTIC MUSIC ]

How many of you travelling?

Just myself, family, wife, girl.

Nobody in the caravan?

No.

You don't seem very sure, sir.

Anything wrong?

Well, as a matter of fact, there is.

My little boy's in there.

He's ill.

We put him to bed in the caravan.

OFFICER: Not a very comfortable ride.

JOHN: No, I know, but at least he's in bed.

I know it's against the law to carry a passenger in a trailer--

Oh, we can overlook that.

I know what kids are.

Thanks.

All the same, I'd like to take a look inside, if you don't mind,

sir.

Sergeant, must you do this?

If you don't mind, sir.

I want to get the boy to hospital.

He may be very ill, and my wife's most anxious about him.

I'd rather you didn't disturb him.

Don't worry, sir, I shan't.

How are you feeling, son?

Quite well, thank you.

Quite well?

They always say that, don't they?

Yes, I suppose they do.

Kids are funny.

I know.

I've got three of me own.

Have you seen all you wanted?

Yes, thanks.

What's wrong with the boy?

Is there anything serious?

It might be. It's something he's eaten.

OFFICER: [ INDISTINCTLY ]

JOHN: I think it may have been.

That's not so good.

Look, you better get him along as quick

as you can to the county hospital.

Yes, I'll do that.

Thank you very much. - I'll tell you what.

One of our chaps is going that way on his bike.

He can go with you, give you the right of way.

Oh, I--

I wouldn't dream of troubling you.

Oh, it's no trouble at all, sir.

Get you there in no time.

[ HONKING ]

Can I get up now?

No, you didn't do as I told you.

I didn't do anything.

What did I tell you to say to the policeman?

I-- I don't remember.

Yes, you do.

You were to say you were ill.

You'd better do as I tell you in the future.

Understand?

What are we going to do?

There's only one thing we can do.

Lose the policeman, give him a chance to get away.

It's awful to have to help him like this,

but we must think of Michael.

I can think of nothing else.

We'll get well past this petrol station.

Keep an eye on Dewar.

Dewar's watching.

Do you think he can see the dashboard?

I doubt it.

Daddy, what have we stopped for?

We've run out of petrol, darling.

There's a can in the back, Daddy.

I heard Mummy say so.

Daddy, Daddy, what about the can in the back?

It's not the right petrol.

- Why have you stopped, sir? - I've run out of juice.

I should've filled up at the last petrol station.

Daddy, what about the can in the back?

Ann, Daddy's talking.

It's paraffin.

Let's see, there isn't a garage for about five miles back.

I'll get a lift back and get you a gallon.

Would you?

That'd be very kind of you.

I'll give you the money.

Dad!

Stay where you are.

You're doing all right, so far.

Pity to spoil it.

Policeman's gone to fetch some petrol.

Now's your chance to get away.

- Are you kidding? - Dad, don't make me go back.

It's all right, lad. Look, you're past the police block.

That's what you wanted.

And he comes back and puts out the dogs?

Not for me, thanks.

Look, Dewar, I give you my word.

Your word?

Don't make me laugh.

How long is that cop going to tag on?

Till we arrive at the hospital.

Then what are you going to do?

I hadn't thought about it.

You better start thinking now.

All right, son.

Back you come.

Dad!

He expects you to be tough.

How tough do you feel, Sewell?

How far do you expect me to take you?

I'll tell you when I'm ready.

Give me the boat tickets.

MICHAEL: Go on, Dad.

You can do it.

Michael, the gun!

The gun!

Do you want to be a dead hero?

Get back in the van, you. - No.

Do as I tell you.

Michael, do as he tells you.

Pick up those tickets.

Put them in the van.

Get back to the car.

What are you looking at me like that for?

With his bare hands.

Wonder how far this fella Dewer's gotten?

They think he slipped through the men and he's heading this way.

We'll catch him, though.

Gallon, did you say?

Hurry it up, will you?

Hang on a jiff.

I've got to get this bloke a can.

Sorry to be so long.

That's all right.

You can fill up at the apex, straight ahead.

Thanks.

How's the boy?

Oh, he's not too bad.

I-- I think he might be running a temperature.

Right. Well, you push on.

I've got to return that can.

Catch you up.

I feel sick.

Go in there, then.

I want my mother to look after me.

Oh, it's only the pumping.

You'll feel all right in a minute.

Tell my mother I want her to come in here.

Look, I-- I got a story to tell you.

Don't want to hear it.

It's about a bandit.

Friend of yours?

I knew him slightly.

Did he shoot anyone?

Yes.

Did he, really?

And they tried very hard to catch him.

But he got away.

And they never caught him?

No.

They never caught him.

I think you're a bit of an optimist.

Hey!

Anybody there?

Hey!

Yes.

What's the panic on the roads today?

We're looking for a bloke named Dewar.

What's he done?

Murder.

Ah.

Is he-- is he known to the police?

I'll say.

He's a bit nuts.

You never know what he's going to do.

Cunning, too.

He got out of Birmingham all right.

We think he's on this road somewhere.

Keep a lookout, will you? - Oh, sure.

Sure.

You may spot him.

Never know your luck.

No, you don't, do you?

Nice caravan you got here.

It's not too bad.

Can I have a look?

I-- I'd like to show you inside, but I--

I don't want to upset the kid.

With a policeman?

You don't try and frighten your kid by saying,

I'm bringing a policeman to you, do you?

No, of course not.

It's-- you understand.

OK.

Sewell.

Get rid of that cop.

Any suggestions short of shooting him?

You wouldn't have the guts.

No, play it this way.

Your son's just made a remarkable recovery.

He'll never believe it.

Look, I don't like cops hanging about.

They make me nervous.

Just lose him.

I'll do my best.

That's all right.

Thank you.

I had a look inside.

Michael feels much better now.

That's wonderful.

Maybe it was just a tummy upset.

Excited about the holiday, I expect.

So, what do you think, love?

Could we give the hospital a miss?

I'm sure he'll be all right now.

That's settled, then.

Thank you very much for your help, but I don't think

we need to trouble you any further. - No trouble at all.

I'll take you to the hospital in case you change your mind.

But--

No, no, don't give it another thought.

Glad to help.

A job is a job.

Black, that's lucky.

I'm going to show it to Michael.

Oh, I expect that'll make him feel better.

Can I come, too?

Of course.

Michael, I've got a black kitten for you.

Ann, how many times have I told you not to play with stray animals?

But it's black. It's lucky.

He said so.

Go and get into the car at once.

No.

You're a very naughty little girl.

You're worried about the boy, aren't you?

[ FAST MUSIC ]

Let me go.

Mummy.

What are you doing here?

Making it look genuine.

It's considered natural for a mother to be pretty interested

if her son is to go into hospital.

I don't know anything about mother love.

Mummy, take me away from here.

Soon, darling.

The man's leaving soon.

I've made all the arrangements, all part of the service.

Thank you very much.

Think nothing of it.

I'm sure it will be all right, now.

I haven't forgotten your change.

I hope you have a very nice holiday.

All right, now we can get going.

When are you going to leave us alone?

Where's the boy?

In the caravan?

It's all right, now.

He's just been sick.

He feels much better.

Well, we really ought to take a look at him.

Will you bring him in, please?

Yes, yes.

I'll do that.

Get in, quick.

[ FAST MUSIC ]

Oh, thank you.

My girl's hurt her foot.

I think she may have broken her ankle.

I'm very sorry.

Could you give us a lift into the village?

It's only about four miles or something.

Maybe I can get some help there.

I'm sorry, I--

I can't.

You what?

We'll tell the villagers.

That's-- that's all I can do.

I-- I can't explain.

But you've got plenty of room.

Please, listen.

Well take my friend.

I'll walk.

I don't want to disturb you.

I've already told you, I can't.

What sort of a man are you?

Here's a girl badly hurt, you've got a car

and a-- and a ruddy great caravan.

What's the matter with you?

We'll tell them in the village.

That's all I can do.

How is it?

Well, it might have had some attention by now if you hadn't

picked a quarrel with that man.

Me?

Pick a-- first you can't walk straight,

now you can't hear straight.

Well, you should've been more tactful.

Perhaps he's a bit peculiar.

Peculiar?

He's cracked.

I told you, didn't I?

I told you weeks ago.

I said hiking is the stuffiest idea even you've ever had.

And I was right, wasn't I?

Look at me.

Helpless, absolutely helpless.

Well, that's no change.

Oh, shut up.

Oh!

RADIO ANNOUNCER (ON RADIO): The search continues for Terence Dewar.

All ports and aerodromes are under special scrutiny

as he is armed and dangerous.

This morning at the White City--

[ RADIO OFF ]

They're searching ports and aerodromes.

John--

I know, I know, I feel exactly the same way as you do.

Believe me, I shan't go against him.

He can have the truck, the caravan, the passports,

the money, everything, just so long as we get Michael back safely.

If only that's all he wants.

Mummy?

Yes, darling?

When's Michael coming back?

Soon.

What's the matter with you?

I'm hungry.

You don't know what being hungry means.

Mummy, I'm hungry.

Why haven't we had anything to eat?

Because we're going to have a lovely meal soon,

a picnic, when we get to the forest.

When will that be?

Soon.

I don't think much of this holiday.

Very pleasant hideout.

Couldn't have picked a better spot myself.

And you're a good cook, Mrs. Sewell.

You don't realise, do you, that I've got to do this.

I have no choice.

It's my only way out.

OK, don't be friendly.

Take quarters instead.

Sewell!

What do you want?

You three will sleep in the caravan.

What about Michael?

The boy stays with me.

He'll get cold.

Chuck out a blanket.

Get it straight.

You've got everything to lose.

I've got nothing.

All right, you, in the back.

[ ANIMALS BARKING ]

No nearer.

Wouldn't you like to be the quick-witted hero, Sewell?

Come real close and chuck the blanket over my head.

Good night, Michael.

Good night, Dad.

Sleep tight, soldier.

Please bless Mummy and Daddy, and take care of Michael.

What are you up to?

I'm saying my prayers.

Do you think it does any good?

I hope so.

I put in a bit tonight, special request for you.

What?

Wait and see.

It's horrible.

[ OWL HOOTING ]

Get back to the caravan.

I want to talk to you.

No sentiment, you're wasting your time.

I don't expect any sentiment from you.

What's on your mind?

I think I can help you.

Why should you want to?

I don't want to, I have to.

OK, what's your idea?

Is getting to France any good to you?

It crossed my mind.

All right.

We've got the tickets and the passports and money.

There's 300 pounds in checks and francs.

And tomorrow, you'll board the ship.

Go on.

The moment you leave us, we inform the police.

You think I hadn't figured that?

By threatening our son, you've forced us to cooperate.

And I'll go on forcing you.

I'll shoot if have I have to.

Here, Dover, France, anywhere.

You want to get away quiet and without fuss, don't you?

Sure.

Then you're going to help me.

Don't you realise once Michael is alone with you,

once he's away from our influence, he's going

to think and act for himself.

Are you going to be able to watch him

every minute of the night and day?

Then what do you suggest?

Take me instead.

It's plain common sense.

It's a much better deal for you all around if I go.

Why should you come up with an idea like this?

Something may go wrong with your escape plans.

Whatever it is, you'll make the hostage pay.

I'd rather you shot me than Michael, that's all.

Everyone wants to be a hero.

Oh, no.

Some of us are quite content to be just human.

Your idea is good.

I'll think about it.

Then?

Go back to sleep.

You can't take my boy.

It won't do you any--

Shut up.

Get back in there.

We'll talk about it in the morning.

Go on, get back.

ANNOUNCER (ON RADIO): An all-night search

covering the whole of southern England

has failed to locate Terence Dewar.

The police appeal to the public--

[ RADIO OFF ]

They can appeal to who they like, they're going to go on failing.

Here's the map.

Follow the route I've marked.

There's a place called Shepherdswell five miles from Dover.

Turn left off the main road past the village.

I'll let you know where to stop.

Why do you want to stop?

Patience, you'll find out.

And step on it.

We haven't much time.

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC ]

Mary, we can't go on taking orders from that killer.

Please, John.

Only a few more miles.

He's not going to leave us, and you know it.

Pretend to play with Ann.

Take a look.

See if he's watching.

Yes, he is.

Hurray, the gates are closed!

We're going to see a train!

Is he still at the window?

No, he's gone.

Quick, there's pencil and paper in the cubbyhole.

Scribble a note.

A note?

Keep it short.

Just explain our position and where we're heading.

[ TYRE EXPLODES ]

[ BRAKES SCREECH ]

Better hurry.

Want any help?

No, thanks.

Travelling a fair lick, I suppose.

Yeah.

Yeah, I was going very fast.

Inner tube gone, I expect.

Rotten when it goes sudden like that.

You know, I'll never forget the time I was driving down to Brighton.

Needle's stuck at 80.

- Yeah, you know-- - And all the time saying--

- Easy enough, easy.

And then without warning, I got it.

Off-side front.

No, I'm a liar, near-side front.

Put me straight into the ditch.

When I got out of hospital, you know the first thing I did?

Changed me car.

Can't bear to use a car when I've had a crash in it.

I change my car once a year, do you?

By the time I've done 20,000 miles in it,

the car's finished, and so am I. You seem to be getting on all right.

I'll leave you to it.

So long.

[ DRAMATIC MUSIC ]

John!

All right, we've had our exercise.

Now let's get going.

This is it.

John, don't stop.

I have to.

He's going to kill you.

If I don't stop, he'll kill Michael.

[ FAST MUSIC ]

[ THUNDER ]

Get out of the car.

There are two ways of doing this, Sewell.

Do it the easy way, will you?

Come nearer.

Give me your scarf.

Anything else you want?

Yeah.

Your name. - Don't do as he says.

Pipe down.

He'll come to no harm if you keep quiet.

Go back to your mother.

Get going.

Mummy, where's Daddy going with that man?

Listen, Sewell, I'm going to be you for a while.

Like the idea?

Keep moving.

A respectable family man going on holiday.

You're staying here and keeping quiet.

If everything goes as it should, your wife and kids

will be on a boat back in no time.

Otherwise, you'll never see them again.

Dewar.

[ THUNDER CRACKS ]

[ WIND BLOWS ]

[ MYSTERIOUS MUSIC ]

Where's the telephone?

In there.

Mr. Sewell has a slight headache, that's all.

You drive, and don't try to be smart.

Put the girl in the back.

There's a way out along the back of the quarry,

and listen while I tell you what we're going to do.

[ DRAMATIC MUSIC ]

Stop!

MAN (ON POLICE RADIO): --located near Dover.

He is driving Land Rover and caravan number NRT175.

With him is a man--

There you go.

Thank you, sir.

Certification, I suppose?

When was this taken, sir?

A few years ago.

It'll pass this time, but I should get another one if I were you.

I'll do that.

Dewar!

The kid gets it if you come any closer.

Dewar!

Keep him talking.

You might as well give up, Dewar.

You can't get away.

That's what you think.

POLICE OFFICER: Listen, Dewar, you'll make

it easier if you give yourself up.

Don't make it any worse for yourself.

Holding the boy's not going to help you.

You hear me?

Let the boy go, Dewar.

You can't get away.

The area's surrounded.

Call your men off, copper.

Call your men off, or the kid gets it.

I'm waiting, copper.

I'll start counting up to three.

One, two, three.

Let him go, boys.

Give him a clear run.

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC ]

Oof!

[ PEACEFUL MUSIC ]

John.

It's all right.

Everything's all right.

Congratulations, you did a very good job.

I'm afraid I shall have to ask you to come along to the station.

I shall need your statement.

Won't keep you longer than we can help, though.

We were hoping to catch the boat.

I'm afraid you're too late for that one.

Where's Michael?

He was here a minute ago.

He can't be far away.

Perhaps he's--

And then my dad took him by the throat,

and there was a terrific fight.

My dad was badly hurt, but he went on and hit him three times

and knocked him on the ground.

Michael.

There's my dad, now.

Well, see you later at the station.
