1. Thanks, Mrs. P.Copy !req
2. You're a fine one, Jack, waking me up.
You know I'm on nights.Copy !req
3. Just a sec.Copy !req
4. Yeah, okay, the Chequers, then.
Yes, I heard.Copy !req
5. The fat parcel, back of your wardrobe.
Yeah, I'll find it.Copy !req
6. Look, don't waste time talking.
Yeah, bye.Copy !req
7. - Mrs. Pesco?
- Yes.Copy !req
8. Uh, we're police officers.Copy !req
9. We'd like a word about
your lodger, Barrett.Copy !req
10. Jack Barrett.Copy !req
11. - Ah. Won't you come in, please.
- Thank you.Copy !req
12. - Oh, Mr. Melville Farr's chambers?Copy !req
13. Can I speak to Mr. Farr, please?Copy !req
14. Mmm? Oh. Barrett.
Jack Barrett.Copy !req
15. Oh, thank you.Copy !req
16. He's quite a giant killer,
this major Humphries.Copy !req
17. How long has he been running his head
against this particular brick wall?Copy !req
18. Three years, Mr. Farr...Copy !req
19. Ever since the rural
district council designatedCopy !req
20. his land for acquisition
as a housing estate.Copy !req
21. Well, he's in the right, you know.Copy !req
22. It's beyond their powers
under the '57 housing act.Copy !req
23. He's strangled in red tape.Copy !req
24. Do you think we should take it on, sir? The
major's funds must be running a bit low.Copy !req
25. - Who are his solicitors?
- Hambury and wilcox.Copy !req
26. I'd let them worry about that
if I were you.Copy !req
27. The point is, the major's
right, the ministry'sCopy !req
28. wrong, and I should like
to make them squirm.Copy !req
29. - Mr. Jack Barrett for you, Mr. Farr.Copy !req
30. He says it's very urgent.Copy !req
31. All right, William, uh, telephone
major Humphries's solicitors.Copy !req
32. Arrange a meeting
sometime next week.Copy !req
33. Very good, sir.Copy !req
34. Put him through.Copy !req
35. Barrett?Copy !req
36. If I hear from you again,
I shall inform the police.Copy !req
37. Do you understand?Copy !req
38. That's absolutely final.Copy !req
39. - Boy's a bit exclusive today, isn't he?
- Yes, he doesn't look any too happy.Copy !req
40. - Was that Barrett coming back?
- Yes.Copy !req
41. You'd hear a pin fall
on a feather, p.H.Copy !req
42. Compensation for dead eyes, dear boy.Copy !req
43. €2,000.Copy !req
44. - 2,300.
- All right, but what are you gonna do?Copy !req
45. - Did the police come?
- Yes. I had to nip out pretty smartish.Copy !req
46. - Did you get the parcel?
- Yes. It's in your bag, under here.Copy !req
47. - The point is, what are you gonna do?
- Oh, I don't know.Copy !req
48. Look, just go to a cinema
and sit it out till it's dark.Copy !req
49. - No, no.
- What then?Copy !req
50. Better you go now.
Then you can't tell 'em.Copy !req
51. I wouldn't give you away.Copy !req
52. - They'd twist it out of you.
- No, they w - they wouldn't, mate. Look-Copy !req
53. I'll be all right now, Eddy.Copy !req
54. Thanks for bringing the parcel.
No, no, you stay and finish my beer.Copy !req
55. - Well, watch yourself now.
- Yeah.Copy !req
56. What's the matter with boy, Eddy?Copy !req
57. Oh, he's all right.Copy !req
58. - Did you get Barrett?
- No, sir.Copy !req
59. Gave us the slip.
Sorry, sir.Copy !req
60. "Sorry" never arrested
anyone, sergeant.Copy !req
61. No, sir.Copy !req
62. - Find anything in his room?
- Nothing worth a penny, sir.Copy !req
63. Clean, tidy, very bare.Copy !req
64. I had a talk with the landlady.Copy !req
65. Boy never went anywhere.Copy !req
66. Hardly a shirt to his name.
Lived out of tins in his room.Copy !req
67. - This has a familiar ring, Bridie.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
68. When you bring him in
we shall find the answer.Copy !req
69. - Send out a general alert.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
70. - Get on with it, Bridie.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
71. Hello, Farr. I was hoping
I might bump into you.Copy !req
72. - Ah, yes?
- It's about this charity subscription -Copy !req
73. Charles, you've made a fortune
for your shareholders.Copy !req
74. - Why don't you ask them to stump up a bit?
- I've tried, my dear fellow.Copy !req
75. But they're most uncooperative.Copy !req
76. - Hello, mandrake.
- Charles.Copy !req
77. - Hello, Farr.
- I've seen your exhibition.Copy !req
78. Congratulations. I thought the industrial
photographs were absolutely splendid.Copy !req
79. - Thank you.
- Have you seen his show?Copy !req
80. - No, I haven't.
- Well, you should. It really is excellent.Copy !req
81. Excuse me, milord.
Telephone call for you, sir.Copy !req
82. - Who is it?
- A Mr. Barrett.Copy !req
83. Oh, not in, Thompson.
Want a drink before lunch?Copy !req
84. Better let me get them. You'll need all
your money for Charles's subscriptions.Copy !req
85. Oh. So you've turned up again, boy.Copy !req
86. Hello, Miss Benham.
I want to see Mr. Doe.Copy !req
87. - Is he in?
- I'll see.Copy !req
88. Ah!Copy !req
89. So the prodigal has returned,
Miss Benham.Copy !req
90. Looked us up again, eh?Copy !req
91. Can I speak to you?Copy !req
92. Shall I say yes,
or shall I say no?Copy !req
93. Please, Harold.Copy !req
94. All right.
I don't hold malice.Copy !req
95. Let's hear what you've got to say.
Come along. Why aren't you working?Copy !req
96. - Got the afternoon off.
- Very nice.Copy !req
97. Just going to make a cup of tea.Copy !req
98. Harold, I want you to promise me something.
It's important.Copy !req
99. Promise?Copy !req
100. Well, it's waited six months.
Surely it can wait a little longer.Copy !req
101. No, it can't.
It's got to be now.Copy !req
102. Now?Copy !req
103. Are you dictating to me?Copy !req
104. Harold, listen, please.Copy !req
105. I said "please" once, boy.Copy !req
106. It didn't have much effect, did it?Copy !req
107. - This is different.
- Oh, I see.Copy !req
108. You've got to promise me
you'll never tell anyone.Copy !req
109. Tell? Have I got anything to tell?Copy !req
110. Well, yes. You remember.Copy !req
111. Back last spring...Copy !req
112. When I -when I left.Copy !req
113. Oh, that.Copy !req
114. Well, there's no fun in gossip
unless you can mention names.Copy !req
115. You never did, did you?Copy !req
116. Not that secrets don't have
a horrid way of leaking out.Copy !req
117. Did you find out the name, Harold?Copy !req
118. Did you? I must know!Copy !req
119. What do you mean, "must"?Copy !req
120. I don't think I'm going to tell you.
Just sweat it out.Copy !req
121. I know what horrid imaginings are.Copy !req
122. Now you're going to have your share.Copy !req
123. You look at me as if you hate me.Copy !req
124. That's a very good guess.Copy !req
125. For God's sake, get out!Copy !req
126. Come back when I'm in a better temper!Copy !req
127. No, I'm sorry, Mr. Barrett.
Mr. Farr has left.Copy !req
128. No, I haven't seen him since lunch.Copy !req
129. Hmm.Copy !req
130. Yes, I agree, but by inclination
we're all individualists.Copy !req
131. Every man wants to own
his own business...Copy !req
132. But the pressure
of modern commerce...Copy !req
133. Is gradually pushing
the independent trades out of existence.Copy !req
134. Now, my plan is to
let them keep their autonomy...Copy !req
135. But at the same time have all the
advantages the combines enjoy...Copy !req
136. Through an associated
purchasing company.Copy !req
137. You haven't heard
a damn word I've been saying.Copy !req
138. Yes. Yes, I have. It's a fine plan.
It'll help a lot of people.Copy !req
139. You only heard because
you're trained toCopy !req
140. listen with one ear and
look with the other.Copy !req
141. You really care about people, don't you?Copy !req
142. Yes.
Yes, of course I do.Copy !req
143. Sorry, Phip. I know you don't like
people coming to the showroom.Copy !req
144. Not me, old mate. The powers that be
aren't keen on social calls.Copy !req
145. Phip, can you drive me out of London?Copy !req
146. Sorry, sport. Couldn't have come
at a worse time.Copy !req
147. I'm scheduled to deliver a crate
out at Richmond when I'm finished here.Copy !req
148. - Where do you want to go?
- Kelworth, new town.Copy !req
149. Well, fag a lift from a lorry.Copy !req
150. Be all right?Copy !req
151. Yeah.Copy !req
152. Yeah. I'll be all right.Copy !req
153. - Good evening, Mr. Farr.
- Evening, Mrs. Brooks. My wife home?Copy !req
154. - She's not back from the clinic yet.
- Oh.Copy !req
155. - Her brother's here.
- Oh, good.Copy !req
156. There you
are, Mel.Copy !req
157. Hello, Scott. How are you?
Nice to see you.Copy !req
158. Felt a bit lonely.
Ronnie went back to school today.Copy !req
159. Never mind. Only 10 weeks till easter.
Come and have a drink.Copy !req
160. What's all this about clinic?Copy !req
161. - Laura having trouble?
- No, no.Copy !req
162. Only of her own making.
She's taken aCopy !req
163. spare-time job working
with difficult children.Copy !req
164. - Oh.
- Apparently she's rather good at it.Copy !req
165. If you go into court with that rubbish,
it'll do your client no good.Copy !req
166. Brent's wife will get costs,
custody and alimony...Copy !req
167. Which is exactly what she wants.Copy !req
168. Selfish bitch.Copy !req
169. No, I-I-I'd plead discretion.Copy !req
170. Place the whole of her life
on the bench in front of the judge.Copy !req
171. Harry Brent won't do that.Copy !req
172. Then I should tell him to find
somebody else to lose the case for him.Copy !req
173. - You would too.
- Yeah, damn right I would.Copy !req
174. - Mel?
- Yes, in here, darling.Copy !req
175. - Hello, darling. Hello, Scott.
- Hello, love.Copy !req
176. - And how are the little idiots today?
- It's not a lunatic asylum.Copy !req
177. - Isn't it? I thought it was.
- Very funny.Copy !req
178. - Did you get Ronnie off all right?
- Yes. Miserable.Copy !req
179. Why don't you stay and
have dinner with us?Copy !req
180. Can't, thanks.
I'm just off.Copy !req
181. I've a lot of work tonight.Copy !req
182. The Campbell brief
fell into my lap last week.Copy !req
183. Lord knows why they call it a brief.
It never is.Copy !req
184. - What will you do about dinner?
- Don't worry.Copy !req
185. I've got some stuff
in the fridge.Copy !req
186. - Are you sure?
- Oh, yes, of course.Copy !req
187. - All right. Good night.
- Night-night.Copy !req
188. - Take care of each other.
- Good night.Copy !req
189. Good night.Copy !req
190. You know, I worry about Scott
living on his own with Ronnie to bring up.Copy !req
191. He seems lost since Helen died.Copy !req
192. I think he ought to get married again.
Ronnie needs a mother.Copy !req
193. Why don't you tell him?
You're his sister.Copy !req
194. I have. He doesn't
seem to want to.Copy !req
195. - Perhaps he's not in love with anybody.
- Then he ought to be.Copy !req
196. That's typical feminine logic.Copy !req
197. Do you love me?Copy !req
198. Yes.Copy !req
199. Yes, I do.Copy !req
200. A little reassurance helps.Copy !req
201. Come on.Copy !req
202. Thanks a lot.Copy !req
203. Frank. Frank! Hey, Frank! Wait!Copy !req
204. - Hi, Frank.
- Oh, hello, Jack.Copy !req
205. - Hi, Sylvie.
- Here.Copy !req
206. - What?
- In here.Copy !req
207. - Where have you sprung from, Jack?
- I want to get down to the coast.Copy !req
208. What's stopping you?Copy !req
209. Sylvie! If Jack wants to shake down
for the night, he's welcome.Copy !req
210. No. I told you last time he came
I wouldn't have him anymore.Copy !req
211. - You're not going to
stop me having who I likeCopy !req
212. in my own house. - Don't
quarrel over me, please.Copy !req
213. - He's staying, Sylvie.
- Not with us!Copy !req
214. Why can't he stick with his own sort?Copy !req
215. You can come home, Frank jefferies,
when you've got rid of him.Copy !req
216. I-I never knew Sylvie
felt like that about me.Copy !req
217. - What's up, Jack?
- I'm in terrible trouble, Frank.Copy !req
218. - Can I help?
- I've got to get out of the country.Copy !req
219. I can buy a job as a steward on a ship
if I can get to southampton.Copy !req
220. I need 20 quid though.Copy !req
221. I haven't got it tonight, but I'll wire
it to you first thing in the morning.Copy !req
222. - Will you?
- Of course I will.Copy !req
223. Thanks a lot, Frank.Copy !req
224. - I-I'm sorry about -
- no, no, no, no.Copy !req
225. I'll say
good-bye then.Copy !req
226. No, no. I'll walk with
you to the coast road.Copy !req
227. You can tell me all about it, get it
off your chest. It'll do you good.Copy !req
228. Well, if that's the way of it,
you're in a hell of a mess.Copy !req
229. - Have you told me everything?
- Everything.Copy !req
230. - Now do you understand why I
took the money? - Of course.Copy !req
231. - I wish you'd stay and face the music.
- No.Copy !req
232. - I'd go to the police with you.
- No! They'd twist hell out of me!Copy !req
233. - Make me say why I took it.
- It's bound to come out in the end.Copy !req
234. Look, I know what I'm doing.
I'll be off now, Frank.Copy !req
235. I'll soon
catch a lift.Copy !req
236. Good-bye, and thanks.Copy !req
237. What, for a measly 20 quid?Copy !req
238. No, for knowing me all these years...Copy !req
239. And still being a friend.Copy !req
240. Well, it used to be witches.
At least they don't burn you.Copy !req
241. - Good luck, Jack.Copy !req
242. You'll never forgive me, will you?Copy !req
243. It's not your fault you haven't
got enough brains to understand.Copy !req
244. - Oh, you have, I suppose.
- I feel sorry for him, that's all.Copy !req
245. - Sorry, for that?
- Yes.Copy !req
246. Jack used to talk to me.Copy !req
247. He's very lonely deep inside.Copy !req
248. Hasn't got what you and I
have got, Sylvie.Copy !req
249. Hello?Copy !req
250. No, this is Mrs. Farr speaking.Copy !req
251. What name?Copy !req
252. Barrett?Copy !req
253. Well, where's he calling from?Copy !req
254. Oh, very well.
I'll accept the call.Copy !req
255. Go ahead, caller.Copy !req
256. Mr. Farr?Copy !req
257. Barrett. Jack Barrett.Copy !req
258. It's urgent.Copy !req
259. I'll call again at 8:00 in the morning.Copy !req
260. Oh, all right.
I'll give him the message.Copy !req
261. Hello.
I thought you'd gone to bed.Copy !req
262. - I had, but I heard the telephone.
- Who was it? Someone for me?Copy !req
263. A young man-Barrett.
He was phoning from Kelworth.Copy !req
264. He reversed the charge,
so I thought I ought to accept the call.Copy !req
265. What did he want?Copy !req
266. He'll phone again
tomorrow morning about 8:00.Copy !req
267. He sounded quite desperate.Copy !req
268. This Barrett - is it a case?Copy !req
269. It is now.Copy !req
270. Never mind. Let's go.Copy !req
271. during the last seven months
in your job as wages clerk...Copy !req
272. You've been drawing the salaries
of five fictitious workmen.Copy !req
273. All told, you've appropriated
around €2,300.Copy !req
274. Where is it?Copy !req
275. You've opened a bank account,
a post office savings book, haven't you?Copy !req
276. What name
did you give?Copy !req
277. Isn't it enough that I
said I took the money?Copy !req
278. - Your employers want it back.
- Where is it?Copy !req
279. Uh, I've - I've spent it.Copy !req
280. What on, son?Copy !req
281. There's nothing new in your wardrobe.Copy !req
282. You live cheaply, eat cheaply.Copy !req
283. - Who's been putting the squeeze on you?
- Come on, open up!Copy !req
284. We don't like blackmail
any more than you do.Copy !req
285. Look, I took
the money!Copy !req
286. I stole it, and I spent it.
That's all.Copy !req
287. We mean to find out
what's behind this, Barrett.Copy !req
288. You've got yourself in a real jam, son. Far
better come clean. Then we can help you.Copy !req
289. Ah, we're wasting our time, sir.Copy !req
290. All right, Barrett, let's see what
a little solitary contemplation'll do.Copy !req
291. Get in a sensible frame of mind
and we'll talk to you again later.Copy !req
292. - Right, off you go.
- Mac!Copy !req
293. Put him down.Copy !req
294. That boy's not a thief.Copy !req
295. More victim than criminal,
if my supposition is right.Copy !req
296. I'm always worried, sir, when I find myself
allowing the motive to mitigate the crime.Copy !req
297. Yes, our jobs would be
much easier if we justCopy !req
298. had to deal with the bill
Sikes of this world.Copy !req
299. Come in.Copy !req
300. The stuff they took from the drain -Copy !req
301. it's a scrapbook, sir,
now we've got it pieced together.Copy !req
302. You haven't eaten your dinner.Copy !req
303. Must stoke up, you know.Copy !req
304. What's gonna happen to me?Copy !req
305. They'll talk to you again later
when you've had a rest.Copy !req
306. Why don't you sleep a bit,
put your feet up?Copy !req
307. That's right. Rest.Copy !req
308. Shut your eyes.
Sort out your answers.Copy !req
309. You'll have to tell the truth in the end.
Might as well make up your mind to it.Copy !req
310. Fulham police station
have been on the telephone, sir.Copy !req
311. - A detective inspector Harris.
- Well?Copy !req
312. - He'd like you to drop in, sir.
- Well, it's on my way home.Copy !req
313. - What about?
- The inspector didn't say, sir.Copy !req
314. But I got the impression
it was a matter of some importance.Copy !req
315. Well, telephone my wife, will you?Copy !req
316. - Tell her I'll be a bit late.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
317. - And there's another thing.
- Oh?Copy !req
318. A letter from
the lord chancellor's office.Copy !req
319. Don't tell me
we've been turned down.Copy !req
320. Hardly, sir. Our friends think
you should have taken silk some time ago.Copy !req
321. Being a Q.C. Can be
a risky business, William.Copy !req
322. Many a good junior practice
has failed in the front row.Copy !req
323. I'm not worried about that, sir.Copy !req
324. I'm sure we shall be quite at home there.Copy !req
325. Well, I'm glad you think so.Copy !req
326. - These have been in water.
- Yes.Copy !req
327. The boy tried desperately
to get rid of them.Copy !req
328. We had to have
the drain up.Copy !req
329. Newspaper cuttings, pictures carefully
preserved in a scrapbook...Copy !req
330. And all pertaining
to you and your career, sir.Copy !req
331. Do you know Barrett?Copy !req
332. Yes, I met him some time ago.Copy !req
333. He, uh - he thumbed a lift one night.Copy !req
334. Said he'd missed the last bus to Fulham. It
was on my way home, so I dropped him off.Copy !req
335. - Did you see him again?
- Yes.Copy !req
336. He was working on a building site
quite near my chambers.Copy !req
337. I often used to see him standing
down there at the traffic lights -Copy !req
338. the strand-Waterloo intersection.Copy !req
339. It seemed churlish not to give him
a lift now and again, so...Copy !req
340. I did.Copy !req
341. - Then I stopped.
- Oh?Copy !req
342. Why did you do that, sir?Copy !req
343. I came to the conclusion
that he was waiting for me.Copy !req
344. Wet or fine, he was always there.Copy !req
345. I see.Copy !req
346. So that was the end of it?Copy !req
347. No. He, uh, started writing.Copy !req
348. Telephoning.Copy !req
349. I destroyed his letters...Copy !req
350. Warned him not to call.Copy !req
351. We believe that Barrett
was being blackmailed, sir.Copy !req
352. He's been stealing from his firm
for months - over €2,000 -Copy !req
353. with nothing to show for it.Copy !req
354. Had less than half a dollar in his pocket
when we picked him up.Copy !req
355. Did he give you any hint, any impression
that he was being blackmailed?Copy !req
356. No.Copy !req
357. Then it started
after you finished seeing him?Copy !req
358. It would seem that way.Copy !req
359. Have you any idea what Barrett
might have been paying to keep quiet?Copy !req
360. No idea at all.Copy !req
361. You knew, of course,
he was a homosexual.Copy !req
362. I had formed that impression.Copy !req
363. You know also, sir,
that as many as 90%% ofCopy !req
364. all blackmail cases have
a homosexual origin.Copy !req
365. I follow your train of
thought, inspector...Copy !req
366. But I wouldn't know if it applied
in this particular instance.Copy !req
367. - You can't hazard a guess, sir?
- No.Copy !req
368. Well, there's no doubt that a law
which sends homosexuals to prison...Copy !req
369. Offers unlimited opportunities
for blackmail.Copy !req
370. Well, thank you, sir.
You've been extremely helpful.Copy !req
371. Thank you.Copy !req
372. Do you, um - do you have any line
on the blackmailer?Copy !req
373. No, sir. We couldn't get a word
out of Barrett, which is a pity.Copy !req
374. Blackmail is the simplest of crimes
when we have the cooperation of the victim.Copy !req
375. Almost impossible when we haven't.Copy !req
376. Can I, uh - can I see Barrett?Copy !req
377. - I'd like to talk to him.
- That's not possible, sir.Copy !req
378. Barrett hanged himself
in his cell this afternoon.Copy !req
379. He's dead.Copy !req
380. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting,
Mr. Stone.Copy !req
381. The inspector's free now.
I'll take you up in a moment.Copy !req
382. Thanks.Copy !req
383. This way, Mr. Farr.Copy !req
384. That was Eddy stone, sir.Copy !req
385. We fetched him to identify the body.Copy !req
386. Stone?Copy !req
387. He works as a ticket clerk
at two fosters tube station.Copy !req
388. - Friend of Barrett's.
- Oh.Copy !req
389. - Good night, sir.
- Good night.Copy !req
390. Did you know your friend
was being blackmailed?Copy !req
391. No. I just thought
he was brassed off.Copy !req
392. How well did Barrett know
Mr. Melville Farr?Copy !req
393. Who?Copy !req
394. The gentleman I was with
when I saw you in the hall.Copy !req
395. I don't know.
I've never seen him before.Copy !req
396. Boy didn't mention
anyone called Farr to me.Copy !req
397. I see.Copy !req
398. Your friend was very secretive.Copy !req
399. Didn't he confide in you?Copy !req
400. No. Why should he?Copy !req
401. - Uh, look, can I go now?
- I don't see why not.Copy !req
402. If you do decide to remember
anything Barrett said, let us know.Copy !req
403. Blackmail's a serious business.Copy !req
404. So's murder.Copy !req
405. He's right. This blackmailer
as good as murdered Barrett.Copy !req
406. I want him before he does
any more damage.Copy !req
407. - Did Farr recognize him downstairs?
- No, sir.Copy !req
408. Nevertheless, whatever
the blackmailer had onCopy !req
409. Barrett concerned Farr.
Of that I'm certain.Copy !req
410. But Mr. Farr's married, sir.Copy !req
411. Those are famous last words, Bridie.Copy !req
412. He took Barrett into his car.Copy !req
413. - No harm in giving the boy a lift.
- Maybe not.Copy !req
414. It's the subsequent lifts
that worry me.Copy !req
415. Check on Barrett's background,
find out if there are any relations.Copy !req
416. And tell sgt. Hoey to
get out his Sunday suit.Copy !req
417. Very good, sir.Copy !req
418. If only these unfortunate devils
had come to us in the first place.Copy !req
419. If only they led normal lives
they wouldn't need to come at all.Copy !req
420. If the law punished every abnormality,
we'd be kept pretty busy, sergeant.Copy !req
421. Even so, sir, this law was made
for a very good reason.Copy !req
422. If it were changed,
other "weaknesses" would follow.Copy !req
423. I can see you're a true puritan,
Bridie, huh?Copy !req
424. Well, there's nothing wrong with that, sir.Copy !req
425. Of course not. But there was a time
when that was against the law, you know.Copy !req
426. Uh, very good, sir.Copy !req
427. - Oh, hello, darling.
- Hello, darling.Copy !req
428. Sorry I'm late. Did, uh
did William telephone you?Copy !req
429. Yes. He said you had
some marvelous news.Copy !req
430. He could hardly contain himself.Copy !req
431. Marvelous news?Copy !req
432. Oh, yes. The lord chancellor
accepted my application.Copy !req
433. That's wonderful!Copy !req
434. We must celebrate.Copy !req
435. I-I don't feel very much like
celebrating tonight, if you don't mind.Copy !req
436. Mel, are you all right.
Is something wrong?Copy !req
437. William said you were so pleased.
What happened on the way home?Copy !req
438. He said you had to go
to Fulham police station.Copy !req
439. - Were you in an accident or something?
- No, no.Copy !req
440. I'm all right.Copy !req
441. I'm sorry.Copy !req
442. I'll go and run your bath.Copy !req
443. Is that you, Eddy?Copy !req
444. Who else?Copy !req
445. - Here's your milk.
- Thanks.Copy !req
446. Oh, there's some letters
by the phone for you.Copy !req
447. - When did they come?
- Monday or Tuesday.Copy !req
448. Took 'em in with mine.
I forgot.Copy !req
449. Good-bye.Copy !req
450. - I hear Farr's taking silk.
- That's right.Copy !req
451. Q c. At 40.
There's no stopping the blighter.Copy !req
452. We'll see him on the bench yet.Copy !req
453. Well, he's got a big enough practice.
He'll be able to afford it.Copy !req
454. Mr. Farr.Copy !req
455. - What do you want?
- I want to talk to you.Copy !req
456. - I only see people by appointment.
- I think you ought to see this photograph.Copy !req
457. That's what boy was paying to keep quiet-
you and him.Copy !req
458. I just found it.Copy !req
459. You'd better come upstairs.Copy !req
460. - Morning, Mr. Farr.
- Morning, William.Copy !req
461. If there are any calls, you take them.
I don't want to be disturbed.Copy !req
462. Yes, sir. We're in
court this morning, sir.Copy !req
463. Yes, I
know we are.Copy !req
464. It's clear enough now. Boy stole
all that money to pay for the negative.Copy !req
465. But the bastards never sent it.
Just another print as a reminder.Copy !req
466. How, uh -Copy !req
467. how could they have taken this?Copy !req
468. They were obviously trailing boy.Copy !req
469. Telephoto lens.
It's an old dodge.Copy !req
470. You were in the car.
You would never see them.Copy !req
471. Have you shown this to the police?Copy !req
472. Well, of course I haven't.Copy !req
473. That's what he was trying to prevent.
Don't you see?Copy !req
474. Yes, I see.Copy !req
475. I see.Copy !req
476. Why did he have to go and -Copy !req
477. hang himself?Copy !req
478. He knew the priest
would get it out of him in the end.Copy !req
479. He didn't want to involve you.Copy !req
480. You'll be all right?Copy !req
481. - Yes.
- He should have come to you.Copy !req
482. Wasn't big enough to be
on his own like that.Copy !req
483. He should have
come to you.Copy !req
484. He did.Copy !req
485. I thought he was trying
to blackmail me.Copy !req
486. I wouldn't even talk to him.Copy !req
487. Jesus.Copy !req
488. Poor old boy.Copy !req
489. He didn't stand much of a chance
between you and the blacky, did he?Copy !req
490. No.Copy !req
491. Well, I'd better go.
I just thought you'd want to know.Copy !req
492. No, stone, wait a minute.Copy !req
493. Do you know
who was blackmailing him?Copy !req
494. No.Copy !req
495. Well, I'm going to find out,
and you're going to help me.Copy !req
496. What for?
They'll pack it in now.Copy !req
497. Now that he's dead.
I mean, they're scared of tackling you.Copy !req
498. Otherwise they would have
done it in the first place.Copy !req
499. Why go looking for trouble?Copy !req
500. If I hadn't been trying
so bloody hard to avoidCopy !req
501. trouble, this might
never have happened.Copy !req
502. But it has, and they're not
going to get away with it.Copy !req
503. Well, if you dig this over
it could end in one hell of a scandal.Copy !req
504. And it wouldn't only be you
who came down.Copy !req
505. I know that.Copy !req
506. I-I can't help you.
I don't know anything.Copy !req
507. You don't have to know anything.Copy !req
508. All you have to do is to watch -
watch for fear.Copy !req
509. Fear is the oxygen of blackmail.Copy !req
510. If Barrett was paying, others are.
Find me one.Copy !req
511. You're crazy, Mr. Farr.Copy !req
512. - You're not thinking properly.
- Stone, are you going to help me or not?Copy !req
513. Okay, I'll listen around.Copy !req
514. I'd like to get 'em too.Copy !req
515. Just remember,
if you do run 'em down...Copy !req
516. You'll bring yourself down as well.Copy !req
517. Call me here.Copy !req
518. I'll call ya.Copy !req
519. Bye.Copy !req
520. They should be there
first thing in the morning, p.H.Copy !req
521. Good.Copy !req
522. There they go, p.H.
Homing pigeons.Copy !req
523. Hope they come back
with their little beaks bulging.Copy !req
524. Let's have a Sherry at the Chequers.
I'd love to hear the chat.Copy !req
525. They'll all be talking
about boy Barrett.Copy !req
526. - Who'd have thought he'd do a
thing like that? - Who would?Copy !req
527. It's shaken me, p.H.
I wish we could go back to Cheltenham.Copy !req
528. Just a while longer, Mickey.
We'll wind it up soon.Copy !req
529. - We cross now, don't we?
- Yes.Copy !req
530. I'm ready to go to the post, Mr. Doe.Copy !req
531. Mr. Doe.Copy !req
532. I'm ready to go to the post.Copy !req
533. Boy is dead.Copy !req
534. He hanged himself.Copy !req
535. It's in the paper.Copy !req
536. I must go to the post.Copy !req
537. Will you please come in the shop?Copy !req
538. No.Copy !req
539. Close the shop.Copy !req
540. Pull down the blinds.Copy !req
541. Miss Benham, if anyone comes
asking questions about boy-Copy !req
542. I'm not interested in
your affairs, Mr. Doe.Copy !req
543. I'm just here for the
salary on Friday.Copy !req
544. I only meant to teach him a lesson.Copy !req
545. I thought he'd come back.Copy !req
546. Thought he'd come back.Copy !req
547. They don't know anything
except what's in the papers.Copy !req
548. My God, that's enough, isn't it?Copy !req
549. Henry the comb
looks like death warmed up.Copy !req
550. Shh.
The troll's speaking.Copy !req
551. She said, "Barrett never had a
penny to bless himself with.Copy !req
552. What happened
to the money?"Copy !req
553. I could answer that in one.Copy !req
554. Phip's moving up now.
Madge is pushing the boat out.Copy !req
555. Safe for him to come alongside.Copy !req
556. I've lost them now.Copy !req
557. Fill up the glasses, Mickey.
A tio Pepe, please, not this treacle.Copy !req
558. Certainly, P.H.Copy !req
559. Come on. Another drink all round
and you'll feel better.Copy !req
560. Thanks, Madge.
I - I'll sink a jar.Copy !req
561. I'm flush this week.
Modeling for mandrake. Luxury fridges.Copy !req
562. - Mandrake's good to you.
- Mmm.Copy !req
563. Old pals act.Copy !req
564. We were in rep together
20 years ago at bournemouth.Copy !req
565. Not for me, thanks, Madge.Copy !req
566. Don't feel like drinking today.Copy !req
567. Well, I'm off.Copy !req
568. - Bye, all.
- Bye, Henry.Copy !req
569. For a man sitting on a gold mine,
Henry looks pretty miserable.Copy !req
570. Henry sold his gold mine.Copy !req
571. - What?
- What did you say?Copy !req
572. Yes. Bloke over there.
He's the estate agent who did the sale.Copy !req
573. Think I'll slide now, sport.
So long, Madge. Have one with me next time.Copy !req
574. That'll be the day.Copy !req
575. - Fred.
- Yeah?Copy !req
576. - Here.
- Hmm?Copy !req
577. Who's the bloke in the pinstripe?
He keeps looking at me.Copy !req
578. I don't know.Copy !req
579. Used to come in the wheatsheaf
when I was there. A real lone wolf.Copy !req
580. I'd better go.
See you.Copy !req
581. - So long, Eddy.
- Yeah. Cheers.Copy !req
582. - I don't know how you can stand 'em.
- Who?Copy !req
583. Eddy and Phip and the rest of them.
All the same, the whole blooming lot.Copy !req
584. I thought they amused you.Copy !req
585. Oh, they're good for a laugh, all right.
Very witty at times.Copy !req
586. Generous too.
And I hate their bloody guts.Copy !req
587. - Hey!
- Well, don't look at me like that.Copy !req
588. Well, they're just not quite normal, dear.
What's it matter to you?Copy !req
589. If they had gamy legs or something,
you'd be sorry for them.Copy !req
590. Sorry for 'em? Not me.Copy !req
591. It's always excuses.
Every newspaper you pick up, it's excuses.Copy !req
592. Environment. Too much love as kids.
Too little love as kids.Copy !req
593. They can't help it. Part of nature.Copy !req
594. Well, to my mind
it's the weak, rotten part of nature...Copy !req
595. And if they ever make it legal they may
as well license every other perversion.Copy !req
596. Come on, Mickey.
This place is getting boring.Copy !req
597. Let's go and see
what the postman brought us.Copy !req
598. Should be a nice bag today. I think our
little efforts might be very well rewarded.Copy !req
599. Good day, gentlemen, good day.
Tomorrow, I hope.Copy !req
600. Insincere bastard.Copy !req
601. Well, what else can you be in this game?Copy !req
602. Eddy, I just saw you passing.Copy !req
603. - Sold your shop?
- Who told you that?Copy !req
604. Fred at the Chequers.
He heard from the estate agent.Copy !req
605. - Why? Is it a secret?
- No, of course not.Copy !req
606. But I wish people would mind
their own business, that's all.Copy !req
607. Anyway, I am off on Thursday.Copy !req
608. Eddy, I am sorry about boy.Copy !req
609. - You'll miss him.
- Yes.Copy !req
610. If you're sending any flowers,
put a few blooms in for me.Copy !req
611. Yes, I will.Copy !req
612. Well, good-bye then.Copy !req
613. Yes. Good-bye. Good luck.Copy !req
614. - Chilly today, sir.
- Yes.Copy !req
615. Take a seat, sir.
Shan't keep you a minute.Copy !req
616. Well, I'm not sure it'll lead anywhere.Copy !req
617. A chap I know, he's got
a good hairdressing business...Copy !req
618. And he's been acting jumpy lately.Copy !req
619. Well, now he's suddenly
decided to sell out.Copy !req
620. Yeah, but it could be
he's being squeezed as well.Copy !req
621. What's his address?Copy !req
622. And his name?Copy !req
623. I'd like to catch him
just before he closes.Copy !req
624. Well, I must hang up
'cause I've got customers.Copy !req
625. Yeah. Henry's of Harbourne street.Copy !req
626. Right. Bye.Copy !req
627. - Thank you.
- Thank you.Copy !req
628. Uh, Mr. Henry?Copy !req
629. - I'm sorry, sir. We're just closing.
- This won't take very long.Copy !req
630. It's a private matter.Copy !req
631. - I'll be off then, Mr. Henry.
- That's all right, George. I'll close up.Copy !req
632. - Good night.
- Good night.Copy !req
633. - I understand you're selling this place.
- Who told you that?Copy !req
634. - You're being blackmailed, aren't you?
- What are you talking about?Copy !req
635. - I don't know what you're talking about. -
But you are selling this place, aren't you?Copy !req
636. I haven't told anyone where I'm going.
Who are you?Copy !req
637. And you're afraid of being followed.
Who's squeezing you, Henry?Copy !req
638. I don't know!Copy !req
639. Who are you?Copy !req
640. - You're from the police?
- No.Copy !req
641. I'm a friend of someone
you used to know - boy Barrett.Copy !req
642. I want to know who killed him.Copy !req
643. You can help me.Copy !req
644. How do you
pay the money?Copy !req
645. I don't remember. I'm
not saying anything.Copy !req
646. I can't help the way I am,
but the law says I'm a criminal.Copy !req
647. I've been to prison four times.Copy !req
648. I couldn't go through that again,
not at my age.Copy !req
649. I'm going to Canada.Copy !req
650. I've made up my mind to be sensible,
as the prison doctor used to say.Copy !req
651. I don't care how lonely, but sensible.Copy !req
652. I can't stand any more trouble.Copy !req
653. I'm sorry about boy Barrett,
but he's dead, finished.Copy !req
654. Nothing can help him now.Copy !req
655. Barrett's death was murder.Copy !req
656. Do you want that to go unpunished?Copy !req
657. Who -Copy !req
658. who are you?Copy !req
659. Melville Farr.
I'm a barrister.Copy !req
660. The blackmailer
can't reach you in Canada.Copy !req
661. Tell me how you pay the money
and let me deal with it.Copy !req
662. It wouldn't help.Copy !req
663. - Do you know anyone else who's paying?
- No. No!Copy !req
664. - I think you do.
- I'm not saying another word, Mr. Farr.Copy !req
665. My number's in the book.Copy !req
666. - If you change your mind, let me know.
- Not a chance.Copy !req
667. I've got myself to think of.Copy !req
668. Nature played me a dirty trick.Copy !req
669. I'm going to see I get a few years
peace and quiet in return.Copy !req
670. You've got a big position.
They'd listen to you.Copy !req
671. You ought to be able to state our case.Copy !req
672. Tell them there's no magic cure
for how we are.Copy !req
673. Certainly not behind prison bars.Copy !req
674. I've come to feel
like a criminal, an outlaw.Copy !req
675. Do you know what I think, Mr. Farr?Copy !req
676. I think boy Barrett's well out of it.Copy !req
677. We've never met, Henry,
but we know each other.Copy !req
678. You might say that we're pen pals.Copy !req
679. Now, they say that you're going away
without paying your debts.Copy !req
680. Bad show, Henry. You can expect
to flourish like the green bay tree.Copy !req
681. - I-I-I -
- don't interrupt.Copy !req
682. You've been talking to Mr. Melville Farr.
What did you tell him? Hmm?Copy !req
683. - I didn't tell him anything.
- Well, now - now - now think, Henry.Copy !req
684. What did you tell
that fine, upstanding barrister?Copy !req
685. I didn't tell him anything.Copy !req
686. You ridiculous old sordid, you.Copy !req
687. If you could only see yourself.
You look your age tonight, Henry.Copy !req
688. What a funny color you've gone.Copy !req
689. I think we'll have a little privacy.Copy !req
690. You know, I could do
a lot of damage here.Copy !req
691. Five, 10 minutes.Copy !req
692. And you wouldn't have much to sell.Copy !req
693. Lease stop gaping.Copy !req
694. There's nothing a little chat
won't put right.Copy !req
695. All I want is the answer
to a simple question-Copy !req
696. what did you tell Mr. Melville Farr?Copy !req
697. - Oh, hello, doctor.
- Evening, Mrs. Farr.Copy !req
698. - You should be off home.
- I just wanted to see him finish this.Copy !req
699. Mmm. Doesn't seem to be
much wrong with it now.Copy !req
700. No, he's been working happily
all afternoon.Copy !req
701. Perhaps this'll help him
sort it out for himself.Copy !req
702. - Anyway, let me know how he gets on.
- I'll just give him another five minutes.Copy !req
703. Well, he was all right
when I left the place.Copy !req
704. Making a funny noise in his throat.Copy !req
705. But it looks like we have lost
a good subscriber.Copy !req
706. No. No, I don't think
he told Farr anything.Copy !req
707. Yeah. Yes, you're right.
Farr is showing a lot of interest.Copy !req
708. I think we ought to find out
what he's up to.Copy !req
709. A cop doing his rounds
found the back door unlocked.Copy !req
710. Henry was lying there
with the telephone in his hand.Copy !req
711. Shop smashed to blazes.Copy !req
712. Henry had a weak heart.Copy !req
713. Did you say...Copy !req
714. He had the telephone in his hand?Copy !req
715. Yes, that's right.Copy !req
716. Stone, do you know anybody
called Troy Carraway?Copy !req
717. No, I've never heard of him.
Is that something to do with Henry?Copy !req
718. I don't know whether
it's got to do with Henry.Copy !req
719. But there was rather a curious message
at the house tonight.Copy !req
720. My housekeeper couldn't
quite understand it.Copy !req
721. She said the caller
sounded drunk or ill.Copy !req
722. But apparently he said...Copy !req
723. "Troy" or "Try Carraway."Copy !req
724. could that have been Henry?Copy !req
725. - Carraway?
- Does it ring a Bell?Copy !req
726. Carr- no, wait a minute.Copy !req
727. I know a chap who gets his hair cut
at Henry's - he did.Copy !req
728. - But I-it's not Carraway, but it's -
- well, what is it?Copy !req
729. Well, it's like it. He's a famous bloke.
Look, you'll know him, I bet.Copy !req
730. - He's a gallery girl's delight.Copy !req
731. Look, Calloway-Copy !req
732. yeah?Copy !req
733. There's a Mr. Melville Farr
to see you, sir.Copy !req
734. Ah, show him in.Copy !req
735. - Mr. Farr, sir.
- Here.Copy !req
736. Well, how nice to see you.
I didn't know you were in front.Copy !req
737. I wasn't.
I was too late for the play.Copy !req
738. - Well, never mind. Take a pew.
- Thank you.Copy !req
739. I've enjoyed your performances
several times.Copy !req
740. I saw you and Lee hunter
defend Dr. Porchester.Copy !req
741. - He should have hung, you know. - There
was a moment when we thought he would.Copy !req
742. - We were all very relieved.
- Well, what can I do for you?Copy !req
743. I've come round
to see if you can help me.Copy !req
744. Not another charity matinee.
I've done two this month already.Copy !req
745. No, this is something
rather more serious, I'm afraid.Copy !req
746. Oh?Copy !req
747. This is impertinent...Copy !req
748. And I may be mistaken, but...Copy !req
749. Did you ever receive an envelope...
Like that...Copy !req
750. Containing a demand for money?Copy !req
751. Is this some sort of a joke?Copy !req
752. - Would you tell me how you pay it?
- I don't know what you're talking about.Copy !req
753. I think you do.Copy !req
754. I have a - a client...Copy !req
755. In the same situation.Copy !req
756. I thought you might cooperate
and help me to put an end to it.Copy !req
757. Hmph.Copy !req
758. - Albert?
- Sir.Copy !req
759. Mr. Farr is leaving.Copy !req
760. Thank you.Copy !req
761. I can find my own way out.Copy !req
762. - Can you rustle me up an evening standard?
- Certainly, sir.Copy !req
763. Right away. Right away.Copy !req
764. Hello, Teddy? This is tiny.Copy !req
765. Thank God you're at home.
I'll be round in 20 minutes.Copy !req
766. All right?Copy !req
767. Sir, there's been a hairdresser
found dead in Harbourne street.Copy !req
768. Just came through on the teleprinter.Copy !req
769. Shop was broken up.
Looks like a murder case.Copy !req
770. Harbourne street.
That's west end central.Copy !req
771. Haven't we enough crime
in this division for you, Bridie?Copy !req
772. He was a convicted homosexual, sir.Copy !req
773. I see.Copy !req
774. There might be a tie-up
with the Barrett case.Copy !req
775. If this hairdresser
was paying blackmail too -Copy !req
776. I'm quite as good as guessing
as you are, sergeant.Copy !req
777. - Just get me the facts, will you?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
778. If just one of them
would come forward. Just one.Copy !req
779. They're afraid of this
sort of violence, sir.Copy !req
780. Yes, of course.
They're only little people.Copy !req
781. I thought we might have heard
from Mr. Farr though.Copy !req
782. Mel.Copy !req
783. The boy in the paper- Barrett.Copy !req
784. The one that hanged himself
in Fulham police station.Copy !req
785. Is that the same boy
that phoned here?Copy !req
786. Yes. Yes, it is.Copy !req
787. You were there yesterday.Copy !req
788. Did the police send for you?Copy !req
789. - Yes.
- Why?Copy !req
790. Apparently they found a book.Copy !req
791. He'd kept a - a scrapbook.Copy !req
792. Press cuttings about me.Copy !req
793. Pictures.Copy !req
794. Why?Copy !req
795. Hero worship.Copy !req
796. Who was this boy Barrett?Copy !req
797. I gave him a lift occasionally.Copy !req
798. You never told me.Copy !req
799. No.Copy !req
800. Papers say he was a wages clerk.Copy !req
801. He'd been stealing from his firm.Copy !req
802. How did you come
to meet a boy like that?Copy !req
803. Back in the spring.Copy !req
804. After a late session, he -
when the last buses had gone.Copy !req
805. That's only once.
You said occasionally.Copy !req
806. I know. I know what I said.Copy !req
807. Can't we discuss this without turning
the whole place into a battleground?Copy !req
808. You stopped seeing him
and he killed himself.Copy !req
809. It's Phil Stainer all over again.Copy !req
810. No.Copy !req
811. It wasn't the same with Stainer.Copy !req
812. - Barrett - Barrett was -
- what was Barrett?Copy !req
813. When we were married,
we had no secrets from each other.Copy !req
814. I made you a promise then. I haven't broken
that promise, if that's what you mean.Copy !req
815. Why did you stop seeing him?Copy !req
816. He was getting too fond of me.Copy !req
817. Are you sure you weren't
getting too fond of him?Copy !req
818. Answer me.Copy !req
819. I want to know the truth.Copy !req
820. I want to know why he hanged himself.Copy !req
821. He was being blackmailed.Copy !req
822. - That's why he stole?
- Yes.Copy !req
823. Someone found out he was
a homosexual and blackmailed him?Copy !req
824. That's it.Copy !req
825. Takes two to make
a reason for blackmail.Copy !req
826. Were you the other man?Copy !req
827. Were you?Copy !req
828. Tell me everything.
I want to know.Copy !req
829. I don't want you to.Copy !req
830. I'd rather know than guess.Copy !req
831. He'd been paying for months...Copy !req
832. To stop copies of this...Copy !req
833. Going round the temple.Copy !req
834. Why is he crying?Copy !req
835. I'd just told him I
couldn't see him anymore.Copy !req
836. So he knew it was the end?Copy !req
837. So did you.Copy !req
838. Look at the picture.Copy !req
839. There's as much pain
in your face as there is in his.Copy !req
840. You haven't changed.Copy !req
841. In spite of our marriage, in your
inmost feelings you're still the same.Copy !req
842. That's why you stopped seeing him.Copy !req
843. You felt for him what
you felt for Stainer.Copy !req
844. That's not true!Copy !req
845. You were attracted to that boy
as a man would be to a girl.Copy !req
846. Laura, Laura. Don't go on.
For God's sake, stop! Stop now!Copy !req
847. I can't stop.
I love you too much to stop.Copy !req
848. I thought you loved me.Copy !req
849. If you do, what did you feel for him?
I have a right to know.Copy !req
850. All right. You want to know.
I shall tell you.Copy !req
851. You won't be content
until you know, will you?Copy !req
852. Till you've ripped it out of me!Copy !req
853. I stopped seeing him
because I wanted him.Copy !req
854. Do you understand?
Because I wanted him!Copy !req
855. Now what good has that done you?Copy !req
856. When did it begin?Copy !req
857. From the moment I saw him.Copy !req
858. You don't call that love?Copy !req
859. No.Copy !req
860. If it was love,
why should I want to stamp it out?Copy !req
861. Why would I do that if it was love?Copy !req
862. His feeling for you?
What was that?Copy !req
863. I don't know.Copy !req
864. Yes, I - I think perhaps for him -Copy !req
865. perhaps for him it was love.Copy !req
866. The only kind of love he could feel.Copy !req
867. He died for it to protect me.Copy !req
868. That thought will remain with you
for the rest of your life.Copy !req
869. I don't think there's
going to be room for me as well.Copy !req
870. Oh, yes, milord.
Oh! Just one moment, please.Copy !req
871. Lord Fullbrook, sir.Copy !req
872. Thank you, Mrs. Brooks.Copy !req
873. Yes, Charles.Copy !req
874. Well, can't it wait till Monday?Copy !req
875. I must say you make it sound very dramatic.Copy !req
876. Very well...Copy !req
877. If you put it on a personal basis.Copy !req
878. What address?Copy !req
879. 18 nightingale mews.Copy !req
880. Come in.
Fullbrook's waiting inside.Copy !req
881. Oh, hello, Farr.
Good of you to come.Copy !req
882. You said it was a
matter of life and death.Copy !req
883. It is to me.Copy !req
884. - You two know each other.
- Come to cases, Teddy. Come to cases.Copy !req
885. I'm afraid you upset tiny
at the theater last night.Copy !req
886. Ask him who he's working for, Teddy.Copy !req
887. You seem set on stirring
up a lot of trouble.Copy !req
888. I want you to stop.Copy !req
889. What exactly has it to
do with you, Charles?Copy !req
890. Well, the demands
addressed to Calloway...Copy !req
891. Cover the three of us.Copy !req
892. I see.Copy !req
893. - Frankly, I'm surprised.
- Why?Copy !req
894. You're a sophisticated man.
You know the invert is part of nature.Copy !req
895. - Sherry?
- But I've known you for years, Charles.Copy !req
896. One is discreet about these things.Copy !req
897. What do you want?Copy !req
898. I want you to persuade
your client to join us.Copy !req
899. We'll pay the blackmailer off
in one nice big sum. Hmm?Copy !req
900. - Any idea who it is?
- No.Copy !req
901. It's a filthy thing, extortion.Copy !req
902. - Where'd you leave the money?
- At the -Copy !req
903. there you are, Teddy.Copy !req
904. - You haven't done a damn bit of good.
- Steady, tiny.Copy !req
905. Listen. Our apparently
calm acceptance of thisCopy !req
906. blackmail must seem very
extraordinary to you.Copy !req
907. But do you ever wonder about the law that
makes us all victims of any cheap thug...Copy !req
908. Who finds out about our natural instincts?Copy !req
909. Paying blackmail won't alter the law.
It'll only encourage the blackmailer.Copy !req
910. We've got to pay.Copy !req
911. Tell him, Teddy. Explain.Copy !req
912. If we don't pay, 10-to-1 we land in jail.Copy !req
913. With our crime - so-called - damn nearly
parallel with robbery with violence.Copy !req
914. Man-made laws are never perfect.Copy !req
915. I'm a born odd-man-out, Farr,
but I've never corrupted the normal.Copy !req
916. Why should I be forced
to live outside the law...Copy !req
917. Because I find love in the only way I can?Copy !req
918. You're a star, Calloway.
People like you set a fashion.Copy !req
919. If the young people
knew how you lived,Copy !req
920. mightn't they think that
an example to follow?Copy !req
921. Of course youth must be protected.
We all agree about that.Copy !req
922. But that doesn't mean
that consenting males inCopy !req
923. private should be pilloried
by an antiquated law.Copy !req
924. And made meat for blackmail.Copy !req
925. If you're old enough to vote, you're old
enough to choose your own way of life.Copy !req
926. Many of us reach the grave without
arriving at that stage of responsibility.Copy !req
927. Do you support the law?Copy !req
928. I am a lawyer.Copy !req
929. Do you ever hear from the Stainers, Farr?Copy !req
930. I was the old man's secretary. That's how
I knew young Stainer killed himself.Copy !req
931. While you stayed alive.
Shrouded yourself in virtue...Copy !req
932. And married judge Hankin's daughter.Copy !req
933. Like an alcoholic takes a cure.Copy !req
934. I thought you were unconscionably put out.Copy !req
935. Now I see it's the rage of caliban
on seeing his own refection in the glass.Copy !req
936. I may share your instincts,
but I've always resisted them.Copy !req
937. That's what cost young Stainer his life.Copy !req
938. He was a neurotic and an hysteric!Copy !req
939. "Deny me and I'll kill myself."
He was always crying wolf.Copy !req
940. What did happen to Stainer?Copy !req
941. When we were up at Cambridge together...Copy !req
942. We became very good friends for a while.Copy !req
943. He was clever and amusing.Copy !req
944. But quite unstable
and completely possessive.Copy !req
945. One night he telephoned to say
he was going to kill himself.Copy !req
946. I didn't believe him.
He had said it before.Copy !req
947. But apparently this time he meant it.Copy !req
948. And that's all there was to it.Copy !req
949. All this ancient history
isn't getting us anywhere.Copy !req
950. Did you or didn't you? Who cares?Copy !req
951. What you've got to do
now is to forget anyCopy !req
952. ideas you've got about
exposing these people.Copy !req
953. Bring them down and we come with them.Copy !req
954. - Just pay.
- You pay, Calloway.Copy !req
955. I shall make my own decision.Copy !req
956. Darling.Copy !req
957. Darling, come home. It's cold.Copy !req
958. - Been awake all night?
- Yes, I've been awake.Copy !req
959. Looking at myself.Copy !req
960. When you told me about Phil Stainer,
it was over, in the past.Copy !req
961. I was young and conceited,
I suppose.Copy !req
962. I thought marriage would make you content.Copy !req
963. I was wrong.Copy !req
964. That impulse is still there.Copy !req
965. There hasn't been a day
that I haven't thanked God for you.Copy !req
966. Mel, I'm not a life belt
for you to cling to.Copy !req
967. I'm a woman,
and I want to be loved for myself.Copy !req
968. I do love you.Copy !req
969. If he was alive and standing beside me,
who would you choose?Copy !req
970. You've had your answer to that.Copy !req
971. But he's still in your heart.Copy !req
972. I feel completely destroyed.Copy !req
973. Have coffee tonight?Copy !req
974. There's a real charnel house atmosphere
in this place today, Mickey.Copy !req
975. Ghastly. I shall be glad
when we can get back to Cheltenham.Copy !req
976. We'll go home after we've made
the last collection.Copy !req
977. Shh! Eddy's on his soapbox again.Copy !req
978. Henry paid rates and taxes at his shop
the same as everybody else.Copy !req
979. But they knew he couldn't
go out and call the cops...Copy !req
980. So he just stood there watching
while these bastards broke up the shop.Copy !req
981. You don't know
it happened that way.Copy !req
982. It couldn't have happened
any other way.Copy !req
983. Eh, Phip?Copy !req
984. I don't like to think about it, old mate.
No joy there.Copy !req
985. - Call for you, Mr. Mortimer.
- Who is it?Copy !req
986. Some bloke.
Said, "tell him Sandy."Copy !req
987. - Madge.
- What?Copy !req
988. - Oh, what are you drinking?
- Oh, no more for me, dear.Copy !req
989. I'm working today.Copy !req
990. Modeling corsets at Hobday and Rouse's.Copy !req
991. Hope they've got the studio warm.
It's always the same.Copy !req
992. Mink in August
and bikinis Christmas.Copy !req
993. Oh, well. That's life.Copy !req
994. - See you.
- Yeah, bye.Copy !req
995. I don't see how I can.Copy !req
996. But how?Copy !req
997. It's impossible.Copy !req
998. I know. I know.Copy !req
999. I said I know!Copy !req
1000. Uh, I'll work it.Copy !req
1001. I'll work it. Yeah. Somehow.Copy !req
1002. - Have a snack. Go on.
- No thanks, Eddy.Copy !req
1003. You look as if you could
do with a good stoke up.Copy !req
1004. How much weight have you
lost in the last month?Copy !req
1005. Be a laugh, wouldn't it...Copy !req
1006. If one of us developed some guts
and turned copper's nark.Copy !req
1007. Somebody puttin' the screws on you, Phip?Copy !req
1008. - I never said that.
- You meant it.Copy !req
1009. Fantasia, sport, fantasia!Copy !req
1010. All right. Keep your shirt on.Copy !req
1011. I'm not suggesting you bash round
the police station and blow the gaff.Copy !req
1012. No, I just wanted to be sure.Copy !req
1013. Don't you mix me in anything, old mate.
I can look after myself.Copy !req
1014. See you.Copy !req
1015. Anybody can come and look at a car, sport.Copy !req
1016. You can put a penny on
the bonnet, sir, and ICopy !req
1017. promise you the coin
won't vibrate one iota.Copy !req
1018. Would you drive around
the park, Mr. Mortimer?Copy !req
1019. Very good, sir.Copy !req
1020. How'd you know about me?Copy !req
1021. Eddy stone.Copy !req
1022. Eddy had no right to butt in.
I shan't half tear him off a strip.Copy !req
1023. Look, why don't you tell them
to do their damnedest?Copy !req
1024. I daren't. Couldn't afford the publicity.Copy !req
1025. Slightest smell,
I'll be out the old man's will.Copy !req
1026. There's quite a little bit coming to me.Copy !req
1027. What's with you?
You're not here for the ride.Copy !req
1028. I knew boy Barrett.Copy !req
1029. Tragic little sport.Copy !req
1030. Came to me when he was on the run.
I couldn't do much for him - I was broke.Copy !req
1031. You look broke.Copy !req
1032. - You're very realistic.
- It's a very realistic situation.Copy !req
1033. What have they got on you?Copy !req
1034. Some - some letters in my handwriting.
They're all signed.Copy !req
1035. You can't afford to buy those letters.Copy !req
1036. I can.Copy !req
1037. What's all this generosity in aid of?Copy !req
1038. I want to get in touch with them.
They won't get in touch with me.Copy !req
1039. You tell me when your next summons is.
I'll goCopy !req
1040. in your place and
negotiate for both of us.Copy !req
1041. Wish I had the guts to trust you.Copy !req
1042. You trust my bank balance.Copy !req
1043. I've had my next summons.Copy !req
1044. Tonight, Smith place, 8:00.Copy !req
1045. How many letters?Copy !req
1046. Five.Copy !req
1047. Right.Copy !req
1048. Over here, Mr. Farr.Copy !req
1049. You bring a policeman?Copy !req
1050. Not that I care if you have.
You see, my motto is different from yours.Copy !req
1051. - Mens sana in corpore sano.
- My God, you're -Copy !req
1052. it wouldn't take long for a magistrate
to decide who's got the clean mind...Copy !req
1053. In the healthy body.Copy !req
1054. Ah, I knew the white hope
of cavendish cars...Copy !req
1055. Would blab when I saw him
joyriding with you in the park.Copy !req
1056. Well?Copy !req
1057. I want to buy his letters
and what you've got on me, the negative.Copy !req
1058. I shan't take one without the other.Copy !req
1059. I must remind you, Mr. Farr, that you're
in no position to say what you'll do.Copy !req
1060. It's a question of policy with us.Copy !req
1061. We don't usually sell original material.Copy !req
1062. Ah, won't be peanuts.Copy !req
1063. I shan't hand over any money
until I see the negative and the letters.Copy !req
1064. The question is, how much?Copy !req
1065. Now, don't push, Mr. Farr.Copy !req
1066. Don't push.Copy !req
1067. We say when.Copy !req
1068. Well, we've had this "will he or
won't he" conversation so often.Copy !req
1069. Well, I've met him now, and I agree he's
not the subject for continual pressure.Copy !req
1070. Soft for, oh, one payment though.Copy !req
1071. Mmm, well, now, not too greedy.Copy !req
1072. He's got a lot at stake.
A wife, career.Copy !req
1073. Yes, the more they've got,
the more they fight to keep it.Copy !req
1074. Now - now -
now that is a hell of a good idea.Copy !req
1075. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
1076. I'll watch. I'll make sure she's out.Copy !req
1077. It'll only take me
a few moments once I'm there.Copy !req
1078. A nice salutary warning.
See what'll happen if you blab, hmm?Copy !req
1079. Okay. Well, bye then.Copy !req
1080. Don't bother to close it.
I've got to go back to the clinic.Copy !req
1081. Better to.Copy !req
1082. It's only whitewash.Copy !req
1083. It'll wash off.Copy !req
1084. What does it mean, Laura?Copy !req
1085. I don't know.Copy !req
1086. Hooligans.Copy !req
1087. Nonsense. Too explicit.Copy !req
1088. This spells oblique blackmail to me.
What's behind it?Copy !req
1089. - I don't know.
- Oh, come along.Copy !req
1090. It's beginning to make a pattern.Copy !req
1091. How long have you known?Copy !req
1092. I don't know what you're talking about.Copy !req
1093. Is Mel "queer," as they say?Copy !req
1094. Have to make up
your own mind about that.Copy !req
1095. I've already done that, my dear.Copy !req
1096. It's time you had someone to talk to.Copy !req
1097. You knew nothing about this boy Barrett?
You didn't suspect anything?Copy !req
1098. No.Copy !req
1099. I suppose in the back of my mind
I've always dreaded this, but...Copy !req
1100. Mel seemed so happy and satisfied
with our marriage.Copy !req
1101. Successful.Copy !req
1102. Oh, he's been successful, all right.
But what has this marriage meant for you?Copy !req
1103. Have you been satisfied?Copy !req
1104. Yes.Copy !req
1105. Yes.Copy !req
1106. - He's very kind and understanding.
- That's not what I mean.Copy !req
1107. Have you found real love, Laura?Copy !req
1108. Yes, I - I think so.Copy !req
1109. It's all I've known.Copy !req
1110. How dared he marry you.Copy !req
1111. There was nothing he didn't tell me.Copy !req
1112. I married Mel
knowing everything about him.Copy !req
1113. How could you possibly understand
what it might mean? You were 19.Copy !req
1114. I loved him then.Copy !req
1115. In spite of everything, I -Copy !req
1116. I can't stop loving him.Copy !req
1117. You can't understand that, can you?Copy !req
1118. No. I don't think I can.Copy !req
1119. My dear, I've prosecuted
and I've defended this offense.Copy !req
1120. Either way it brings havoc.Copy !req
1121. - Mel hasn't committed an offense.
- Perhaps not.Copy !req
1122. But the rot's still there.Copy !req
1123. Look how he's behaving now.
What's happened to his integrity?Copy !req
1124. Mel's to become a q c., Laura.
Eventually a judge even.Copy !req
1125. Is he going to sit on
the bench knowing thatCopy !req
1126. he himself has covered
up a serious crime?Copy !req
1127. He's done nothing, I tell you.Copy !req
1128. The crime I'm talking about is blackmail.Copy !req
1129. If he doesn't go to the police about this,
he'll be covering up blackmail.Copy !req
1130. But... if he does go to the police,
it's the end of his career...Copy !req
1131. Everything he's ever worked for.Copy !req
1132. It's the end of himself if he doesn't.Copy !req
1133. He can either go to the police,
which apparently he's reluctant to do...Copy !req
1134. Or he can deal with it himself.Copy !req
1135. Oh, yes, Mel's clever enough
to run them down...Copy !req
1136. Turn their own weapon against them.Copy !req
1137. "Do as I say or I'll hand you over."Copy !req
1138. and what does that make him?Copy !req
1139. A blackmailer.
No better than they are.Copy !req
1140. You mean he can't avoid
being destroyed, whichever happens?Copy !req
1141. Yes, I do, Laura.Copy !req
1142. And I don't want you
to be destroyed with him.Copy !req
1143. You're young enough to start again.
Clear off.Copy !req
1144. Leave Mel to fight this battle on his own.Copy !req
1145. - You don't really think I could do that.
- It's not only you I'm thinking of.Copy !req
1146. I've got a son, and
I'm not going to haveCopy !req
1147. Ronnie hero-worshiping
Mel, knowing what I do.Copy !req
1148. I think you'd better go.Copy !req
1149. Perhaps I had.Copy !req
1150. Well, I'm up the road if you want me.Copy !req
1151. A telegram, sir. Miss Hobson sent it over.
She thought it might be important.Copy !req
1152. Thank you.Copy !req
1153. Um -Copy !req
1154. I'm going out.Copy !req
1155. Uh -Copy !req
1156. ca-cancel my lunch date, and, uh...Copy !req
1157. A-apologize to Mr. Cannon.Copy !req
1158. Right, sir.Copy !req
1159. What does it mean,
"contact your wife"?Copy !req
1160. Has someone been to the house?Copy !req
1161. No.Copy !req
1162. What does it mean?Copy !req
1163. There was something on the garage door.Copy !req
1164. Big letters in paint.Copy !req
1165. What did it say?Copy !req
1166. I don't want to tell you.Copy !req
1167. What did it say?Copy !req
1168. "Farr is queer."Copy !req
1169. what does the rest of it mean?Copy !req
1170. All these instructions?Copy !req
1171. Where to take the money
and how to pay it.Copy !req
1172. The dirty words on the garage door
are a final test of strength.Copy !req
1173. They-they're a gentle
reminder that you couldCopy !req
1174. be included in the sphere
of operations too.Copy !req
1175. Are you -Copy !req
1176. are you going to keep the appointment?Copy !req
1177. A man who is paying blackmail...Copy !req
1178. Is hardly likely to make an ideal q c.Copy !req
1179. I'm sure your brother Scott
will tell you that.Copy !req
1180. Oh, never mind what Scott says.Copy !req
1181. He's a perfect barometer
of public morality.Copy !req
1182. In any case, he's right.Copy !req
1183. But if I hand the blackmailer
over to the police...Copy !req
1184. It won't just be the end of my career.Copy !req
1185. It'll be the end of everything.Copy !req
1186. And our ugly little story
will appear in dailyCopy !req
1187. installments on millions
of breakfast tables.Copy !req
1188. On the other hand, if I pay...Copy !req
1189. I buy security...Copy !req
1190. Of a sort.Copy !req
1191. What are you going to do?Copy !req
1192. For the moment, I'm going up to town.
I've taken enough away from you already.Copy !req
1193. When I come home,
I shan't expect to find you there.Copy !req
1194. Just leave an address with Mrs. Brooks
so that I-Copy !req
1195. so that she can send anything on to you.Copy !req
1196. William.Copy !req
1197. Come down here a moment, will you?Copy !req
1198. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1199. Close the door.Copy !req
1200. I'm afraid you -Copy !req
1201. you've got to prepare yourself
for a bit of a shock.Copy !req
1202. I'm sorry to worry you
with this, but, uh...Copy !req
1203. I'm not quite sure
how this is all going to end, and I -Copy !req
1204. I don't want it to burst in your face.Copy !req
1205. I see the implication, sir.Copy !req
1206. But this couldn't be
the basis of any charge.Copy !req
1207. I know.Copy !req
1208. That's the tragedy of it.Copy !req
1209. The boy thought it could.Copy !req
1210. It wouldn't mean anything
if he weren't crying.Copy !req
1211. As it is, I suppose it looks everything.Copy !req
1212. Yes.Copy !req
1213. It's a very good likeness.Copy !req
1214. We must get the negatives.Copy !req
1215. Thank you, William.Copy !req
1216. I expected at least one question.Copy !req
1217. Don't you have any?Copy !req
1218. I've believed in your integrity
for 10 years, sir.Copy !req
1219. I can see no reason to question it now.Copy !req
1220. Get me Fulham police station.Copy !req
1221. It's all there.
Ask Marylebone to pick them up.Copy !req
1222. Get 'em red-handed when
they collect the loot.Copy !req
1223. Right, sir.Copy !req
1224. Yes. Who? Bridie.Copy !req
1225. Listen to this call.Copy !req
1226. Put Mr. Farr on.Copy !req
1227. No, sir. Not really surprised.Copy !req
1228. I thought you'd be calling
sooner or later.Copy !req
1229. Yes, Mr. Farr, I'm listening.Copy !req
1230. Six homing pigeons, p.H.
Not bad for a last collection.Copy !req
1231. Very good, my dear.Copy !req
1232. I say, this one's got a dollop in its beak.Copy !req
1233. A check for 50 pounds
from that woman in Exeter.Copy !req
1234. You certainly can pile on the agony.Copy !req
1235. Don't open them on
the street, Mickey.Copy !req
1236. All right. I just thought
you'd like to know.Copy !req
1237. And we'd like to know too.Copy !req
1238. - It's a fair cop, son.
- I don't know what you're talking about.Copy !req
1239. - Who are you?
- Police officers making an arrest.Copy !req
1240. - On what charge?
- Yes, what's the charge?Copy !req
1241. False pretenses.Copy !req
1242. A system of writing begging letters...Copy !req
1243. Presenting yourselves as widows and orphans
for the purpose of extracting money.Copy !req
1244. "I was deeply moved by your letter
telling me of your husband's tragic death.Copy !req
1245. "Nothing can ease your grief,
but I hope the enclosed check...Copy !req
1246. Will help keep yourself and poor
little Wendy out of queer street."Copy !req
1247. come along now.
The car's waiting.Copy !req
1248. You're late with the post, Miss Benham.
You'll get your toes trodden on again.Copy !req
1249. I'll leave early, if I may,
and post 'em opposite the fat.Copy !req
1250. - There's never a crowd there.
- Very well.Copy !req
1251. Can I help you, sir?Copy !req
1252. Where do you keep the, uh,
minor classics, please?Copy !req
1253. Far shelves.Copy !req
1254. - May I look?
- Certainly.Copy !req
1255. Leave that, sir. I'll see to it.Copy !req
1256. You're Melville Farr, aren't you?Copy !req
1257. Yes.Copy !req
1258. Step in here, will you, please?Copy !req
1259. How dare you come in my shop.Copy !req
1260. Can't you leave me to mourn in peace?Copy !req
1261. I'm very sorry, but...Copy !req
1262. What have your troubles
to do with me?Copy !req
1263. You ruined my life.Copy !req
1264. Boy Barrett was happy here with me.Copy !req
1265. I'd have taken him into partnership.
He'd have had a home here.Copy !req
1266. You destroyed all that.Copy !req
1267. Do you realize what you did?Copy !req
1268. I realize everything.Copy !req
1269. Well, Hoey?Copy !req
1270. Money was taken down
and pocketed almost immediately, sir.Copy !req
1271. Come on.Copy !req
1272. There we are, sir.
The money's in the shoulder bag.Copy !req
1273. Well, you get back to the station.
Get out of your Sunday suit.Copy !req
1274. - No use busting your cover.
- Right.Copy !req
1275. Are you sure you'd recognize the youth
on the Lambretta without his goggles, sir?Copy !req
1276. - Recognize him anywhere.
- Right.Copy !req
1277. Sandy. Sandy?Copy !req
1278. Hi. Don't come in for a minute, bee.Copy !req
1279. - Did you collect?
- Yes. All here.Copy !req
1280. Okay.Copy !req
1281. Come in, bee.Copy !req
1282. Hmm.Copy !req
1283. Look at this. Fabulous shot.Copy !req
1284. Astonishing detail for a telescopic lens.
Look at that. Sharp as a knife.Copy !req
1285. - Only had half a minute to get it.
- How stupid can they get?Copy !req
1286. - Picking up a boy in the park.
- Hmm.Copy !req
1287. It's a pity we're going on a long vacation.Copy !req
1288. Still, never mind.
We'll keep the old gentleman on ice.Copy !req
1289. I'm sorry to be through with Farr.Copy !req
1290. I'd enjoy making that fine,
upstanding barrister jump.Copy !req
1291. Ten days, and I'm off.Copy !req
1292. As usual, beautifully timed.
A week's noticeCopy !req
1293. to poor old Doe and
no attention drawn.Copy !req
1294. Uh, by the way, are we going to let
our friend off the hook?Copy !req
1295. We'll give him that impression.Copy !req
1296. I told him to come over.
Should be here soon.Copy !req
1297. Of course, when we start our business
again, we'll jerk the line a bit.Copy !req
1298. Show him the photostats.Copy !req
1299. Remind him the hook's still there.Copy !req
1300. - You really are a bit odd, aren't you?
- What do you mean?Copy !req
1301. Well, I don't know. A sort of cross between
an avenging angel and a peeping tom.Copy !req
1302. They disgust me!Copy !req
1303. When I found out about Mr. Doe
and that boy, I felt physically ill.Copy !req
1304. They're everywhere!
Everywhere you turn.Copy !req
1305. The police do nothing. Nothing!Copy !req
1306. Someone's got to make them pay
for their filthy blasphemy.Copy !req
1307. We want you. Get inside there.Copy !req
1308. What do you want?
What do you think you're doing?Copy !req
1309. - This is a private flat. Get out of here!
- What's the matter?Copy !req
1310. What is it? What does this mean?Copy !req
1311. These are marked notes.
You're both under arrest.Copy !req
1312. You'll be charged at the station.Copy !req
1313. - He's the one I told you about.
- You won't testify to that in court.Copy !req
1314. Oh, yes, I will.Copy !req
1315. That'll make a find swan song
to a big career.Copy !req
1316. "Eminent lawyer's
astonishing private life."Copy !req
1317. a real ball for the national press.Copy !req
1318. That's enough.Copy !req
1319. Very tough now, aren't we?
When it comes to protecting perverts.Copy !req
1320. I suppose the police force is riddled
with it, like everything else.Copy !req
1321. - Shut up!
- On your feet. You're coming too.Copy !req
1322. He's all right.
He's one of their victims.Copy !req
1323. Ha! You hear that, Phip?
You're a victim.Copy !req
1324. I'm afraid you're barking up
the wrong tree there, mister.Copy !req
1325. It's a question of dog eat dog,
isn't it, Phip?Copy !req
1326. It wasn't my fault.
I couldn't pay them any more money.Copy !req
1327. Then they said...Copy !req
1328. If I gave the names of my friends...Copy !req
1329. They'd give me back
a letter every time.Copy !req
1330. What do you think of our little Judas?Copy !req
1331. - Revolting spectacle, isn't he?
- Come on.Copy !req
1332. One moment, please. Shoes.Copy !req
1333. Coat.Copy !req
1334. Ready.Copy !req
1335. It's the ungodly in great power, all right.Copy !req
1336. And flourishing like the green bay tree.Copy !req
1337. But we'll have our say in court though.Copy !req
1338. Tsk, tsk, tsk.Copy !req
1339. On your feet. Move.Copy !req
1340. Don't charge me under my real name.
I've gotCopy !req
1341. money coming to me,
quite a bit of money.Copy !req
1342. I wouldn't mind sharing it.
I'm not greedy. I'd sign a note.Copy !req
1343. I'll walk him downstairs, sir.Copy !req
1344. They're gonna be very vicious
when they do get into court, sir.Copy !req
1345. Don't worry, Harris.
I shan't let you down.Copy !req
1346. No, sir.Copy !req
1347. What do you think they'll get?Copy !req
1348. With your evidence, the limit.Copy !req
1349. Barrett's death, and
that little hairdresserCopy !req
1350. fellow Henry are bound
to weigh against them.Copy !req
1351. Well, I'm glad we've got them.Copy !req
1352. But it seems tragic that your career
has to go west in the getting.Copy !req
1353. Somebody once called this law against
homosexuals the blackmailers' charter.Copy !req
1354. Is that how you feel about it?Copy !req
1355. I'm a policeman, sir.
I don't have feelings.Copy !req
1356. Well, if you come with me now, sir.
It'll beCopy !req
1357. helpful if we can have
your statement right away.Copy !req
1358. Yes.Copy !req
1359. - Good evening, sir.
- Good evening.Copy !req
1360. You've just missed Mr. Patterson.Copy !req
1361. Mr. Patterson?Copy !req
1362. Mel?Copy !req
1363. Mel, I -Copy !req
1364. I didn't expect to see you here.Copy !req
1365. What did William want?Copy !req
1366. He came to tell me
you'd been to the police.Copy !req
1367. I see.Copy !req
1368. How long before
the case becomes public?Copy !req
1369. There'll be a remand
at the magistrate's hearing tomorrow.Copy !req
1370. I've got about, uh, three weeks.Copy !req
1371. Three days, you mean.Copy !req
1372. You can't hope to keep this
out of the press.Copy !req
1373. It's not as though you can
go into court as Mr. X.Copy !req
1374. You're -you're
too well known.Copy !req
1375. I don't want to.Copy !req
1376. I believe that if I go
into court as myself...Copy !req
1377. I can draw attention
to the fault in the existing law.Copy !req
1378. - Knowing it will destroy you utterly.
- Yes.Copy !req
1379. We're going to need each other
very much, aren't we?Copy !req
1380. No. No.Copy !req
1381. I'm going to go through this alone.Copy !req
1382. I don't want you here when it happens.Copy !req
1383. I started this thing.
I've hurt you terribly, I know that.Copy !req
1384. But I can just get through
it to the end if youCopy !req
1385. are not here to face the
final humiliations.Copy !req
1386. They're going to call me filthy names.Copy !req
1387. My friends are going to lower their eyes,
and my enemies say they always guessed.Copy !req
1388. I don't want you a part
of that Roman holiday.Copy !req
1389. I love you too deeply for that.Copy !req
1390. Shall I come back?Copy !req
1391. You, um -Copy !req
1392. you must have time to -Copy !req
1393. you must have time to
decide that for yourself.Copy !req
1394. If you can -Copy !req
1395. if you can bear to...Copy !req
1396. Afterwards, when it's all over
and the shouting's stopped.Copy !req
1397. Because it's then
that I'm going to need you.Copy !req
1398. I'm going to need you so desperately.Copy !req
1399. "Need"?Copy !req
1400. It's a bigger word than "love."Copy !req
1401. suddenly I feel very strong.Copy !req
1402. Strong enough?Copy !req
1403. I think so.Copy !req
