Temptation Harbor (1947)

[bunniefuu]

Dad,time to get up

I'm getting the supper

Daddy,you're awake?

All right,Betty

I'll be down in a second

Hello,what are you doing in
there? Watching you fry

Tell her,Jack

-Have a chips
-Oh,thanks

You haven't been into for hours

We're going dancing

Coming?

Oh,I can't I'm cooking

You didn't even come to the pictures ,
last week with us when you said you would

It's all right with you,you're finished
for the day when you go out

Oh,it's no use asking
Betty to come anywhere

I didn't tell you,Betty,ever
such a peculiar man

Good Evening,Mr Mallison

Hello,Dee

-Well,I'll be seeing you
-Yes,bye

Cheers

Close that window,Betty,
it's like an ice box in here

Sorry,Dad

I've got something special for you,kidney

Oh,it's hot

Oh,it looks good

I hope I cooked them all right

Down to a tip

You know,you'll soon be cooking
as well as your Mum did

How do you get on with the new job,Bet?

Mrs Frost is a bit grumpy you know

It's all right working in the house but

Dad look

What is it?

Blood,that what comes of
working at the butchers

Hey,you cant get out blood stains like that

I was wondering,Dad,
I really need a new dress

This one is all worn out

I saw ever such a pretty frock
in Forham's window yesterday

How much was it?

55 and 9

That's lot of money,Bet,you know

But to me mean digging into my savings

Doesn't matter,Dad

And I'm not getting any younger

If I don't get out that fishing boat
before I retire we are sunk,Betty

Oh,we must get the boat

It's awful the way the money goes,
the shopping came to five and ten today

You know you didn't ought to
have bought these kidneys

How much did you pay for them?

As a matter of fact,dad,Mrs Frost
left them around on the counter

Everything was put away in the fridge
so I thought I might as well take them

They'd only gone bad

You mean you took these
without Mrs Frost knowing?

She'd only (?) made off

Anyway Mr and Mrs Frost
get all the meat they want

and I don't see why you shouldn't
have something nice for a change

Look here,Betty

Don't you start making excuses
for something you've done wrong

That never got one nowhere

Once you start that it's then
thin end of the wedge,see?

And don't let me catch you
out with anything like this again

Is that clear,Betty?

Yes,Dad

-Hello Bert
-Hello,Mabel

-Evening,Reg
-Hello,mate

How are you keeping these days,Bert

Oh I can't grumble,you know

-Been the barbers?
-They often give you a licking

Hurry up,Dad,I know what you
laugh at,it's all in the gossiping

He's taken the kids to that
funfair in the Union place

Use your muffler there's a cold wind
tonight you want to wrap up

All right Mabel,these women
are to bash you about,aren't they?

Can you know what I
thought I'll do tonight,Bert?

Help Betty with the washing up and that

Well,you got enough work
of your own to do,Mabel

No,it's no trouble,we're only
across the road after all

Can't you tie a muffler on properly yet

Hey,why don't you come with me and the kids

and enjoy yourself for a
change,wouldn't you,Bert?

Yes,why not?

No,it wouldn't be no enjoyment to me

Hey,Bert,have you seen this,talk
about a tiny little bit of our work

Camelia,the wonder of the age

The disappearing mermaid

How does she do it?

-But I can tell you
-Oh,I don't know

Eeh,none of that,Dad,
you give that to me

I could do with a basement
full of them for a change

We don't want any talk like that,Reg

And don't you go into that sideshow

quite enough having Betty Grable on the
pictures without no disappearing mermaids

Well,Good night Bert don't go and
work too hard and over strain yourself

Get off for now

BTW I've got a down train on,don't forget

-OK
-Good Night

-I'll see you later,Mabel
-Right-oh!

-Good night
-Night

Ahoy there

Can you hear me?

Hello

What's the idea,Mallison,you're not
paid to go to sleep on duty you know

Well,it's not that Sarg just that

Don't try to excuse yourself
get them open for the mail

But listen something
happened outside the box,hello

No

What should I?

He cut me off,sure

And not his business anyway

Between me and the police

Me and the police,that's all

If I had just one bundle of these notes

I don't see needing gone
sweating the guts out,child

No

I mustn't go thinking like that

That fellow that done him in

I'd bet he is feeling pretty sick

I reckon he'll puke(?)in a minute

No

No,better not muck about with it

Plain as daylight what to do

Ring up the police

5000 £

Five thousands

A whole lifetime I've had to work and
then I wouldn't have half of what's there

Say I just had a few hundreds of it

I could buy the boat

We could have a woman in to clean up

Betty,dear,trying to venture(?) to herself

I'd have my own bank account

Sign checks

I'd have to give a present
to old Mabel and Reg

Oh,no,Mabel,go on,you take it,I mean

What's a mere 10 quid

There's old Fred

I'd better ask him what to do

I don't want any funny
business with the police

By crikey it's enough to give you
pneumonia turning out in this weather

Why the switches(?) are out there,Bert?

You might keep them open ,mate

Nothing else to do here
all night sit on your behind

That's all you know,now listen Fred

Something happened last night

I've got the flu,that's what happened

I felt for it when it went on

When the Missus said
"Old Fred,you do look bad"

She says she's writing a(?) is coming up

What did you say happened last night,Bert

Oh,nothing much to ride about I mean

The governor he called up(?)

I think I'll take a couple
of aspirins later on

It don't do to take too many you know,
it gives you singing in your ears

I got my feet wet the other
night that's what done it

So long,Fred

So long

Aye,shut the door

He must have been
born in a field,that fellow

Oh hello,Bert,want a lift?

Oh,thank you

-Good Morning,Sir
-Good Morning

Single room?

Mrs Titmuss

Mrs Titmuss

-Gentleman for a single
-Good Morning,Sir

You are early we didn't expect
anybody until 820,come by road?

My car broke down I had to walk in

I thought you looked paused(?)

Now let's see

We've got number 11,gentleman
is going this morning

Or you could have a double,if you like,
that'll be 15 shillings,overlooking the sea

A double

We have to charge full price,you see
but it's well worth it for the view

Just name,nationality and
where you come from

Number 14,Martin,take the
gentleman's luggage will you?

Yes,Mum

Oh,I've nothing with me,I left
in the car,I shall fetch it later

I want a phone call through
to Paris Trinity 3482

-My boy is ill you know
-Oh,dear

Hello,dad

I know it sounds funny I overslept

I haven't even put the kettle on

What have you got there,Dad?

-Can't you see?
-Where did you get it?

I found it

It's none of our business,what's in it

Is it not?

Do stop pestering me when I come home

Bad enough,not even a cup of tea
without asking nosy impertinent questions

You are rather snappy this morning,
Dad,I told you I overslept

All right,all right I'll look after
myself,if you got to get off

And you can't go out with an empty stomach

It's all right,Dad,where
did you find the case?

Dover street(?) if you must know

And a soon as I had a bite of food
I got to take it right to the police

I'll take it for you,
I pass the police station

Can't you mind your own business I'm
fed up you poking your nose into everything

Here,now see what you've done

Sorry,Dad,I was only trying to help

It's all right,Betty,I'm sorry

I'm not feeling quite myself today

Forgive me(?),I'll cut you a sandwich,see

No thank you,I'm not feeling hungry

Hello

It's for you,they are holding on now

Is that you,Belle?

Hello,Jim,where are you speaking from?

Never mind that,Belle,is Brian any better?

His temperature has gone
down but he is still so weak

Has the doctor been again?

He's coming later

Well,let me know what he
says when he has been

But where can I get you,dear?

Are you still there,Jim?

Yes

Write it down

Take your time I'm sure you'll find it

I got a did one there somewhere

Good Morning,Mr Tatem

Good Morning Mr Mallison,
you're keeping all right?

Well,I can't grumble

That's right,Betty keeping all right?

-She's all right
-That's right

The usual 2 ounces of tobacco

And that pipe you had in the window?

You know,the one with the head of
Queen Victoria,could I have a look at it?

The meerschaum

Everybody admires that

That is people who know a good
thing when they see it

Now that's real craftsmanship

Look at that delicate finish of that,eh?

It's only one other pipe
like that in the world

and I sold that to the
station master's wife

She give it to him as a Christmas present

I know,I've seen him smoking it

They don't make pipes like this nowadays

I think I put it back,if you don't mind,
I really don't like people handling

Off a tick,off a tick,how
much do you want for it?

I had the eye on it for some time,you know

Yes,so lots of people

I like one of the regular customer
to have it but I can't reduce the price

It's 5 £ 10 sh you know

-5£ 10 is it?
-Yes

Well,I'd do cool(?) that out
of the way,Mr Tatem

Mr Mallison whatever have you been up to?
Won a bit of money on the dogs?

Never mind that

After all I'm just as entitled to
a pipe like this as the stationmaster is

Certainly

why you might be the station master himself
in all his glory with that in your mouth

Do you think so?

Why not?

I'll let you know about it,Mr Tatem

Well,you didn't order it to put in
your mouth,if you're not going to buy it

It's not hygienic

Who is that?

Bert Mallison works in a signal box

It's make him a bit barmy,if you ask me,
stuck up there alone all night on duty

Oh,you found one then

Signal box.Which signal box?

Down at the harbour

You can see it from here

That's a good strong looking hook

I knew you'd found what you
wanted if you had a good look round

Betty

Here,Betty

What is it,Dad?

You never told me you
had to scrub the shop out

Dad,Mr Frost is here

I can't help if he does

Yes,what is it Betty?

Nothing,Mrs Frost

Hear,Betty

You've not been talking to
anyone about that suitcase I found?

No,why?

What's the idea men
calling you in the shop?

He's my father,Mrs Frost

I don't care who he is,I don't
pay you to stand round gossiping

And get around with that floor,do

Now,hear Mrs Frost

I'm having no daughter of
mine doing work like that,see

What's going on here?

Can somebody serve me,please I'm in a hurry

You keep out of it,Joe

The man's drunk,do you
mind getting out of this shop

or should I call the police?

Hear,Betty,you can get your
hat and coat,we're going

I told you get on with your work

I said, get your hat and coat,
sweetheart,we're going

Did you hear my Missus
to tell you to get out?

That won't be too long

I'm waiting

Please can somebody serve me,you
can't keep people waiting here like this

If you don't like it you
can go somewhere else

I don't see why we should suffer

I'd had to get children's dinner
and I stand waiting here

I'm ready,Dad

Take your time,Bet,take your time

Don't you worry

Let's go,Dad

I'd like to see what you
got in that bag of yours

The last girl I gave notice to

No,no,let them go it's no
use upsetting yourself

I'll see to it that no one else
gives you a job down here

Ever such we wanted
to happen for,Dad(??)

I'm having no talk about(?)like this,see

Here

Betty

You know what you and
I are going to do today?

What's that?

We are going to enjoy ourselves,see

Hello,dear

What did the good lady promise you?

Best husband in thousand years(?)

She said I was going to have a white
(?) in all that,I hope it's true

It will my dear,don't you worry,it will

Next your ticket to the Ghost Trail

All aboard then

-Hey,look there old Frost
-Do you think they'll Se us?

Come on Betty

Open your mac

Let them see the new frock

Oh yes

Look here,take it off,and
hang it over your arm

OK Dad

Want to see the Atomic Lady,
ladies and gentlemen

Camelia,the disappearing mermaid

The wonder of the eight

Ah,Sir,say yes,queue up for the
six pennies,no queue for the shilling

Come along now,the best
show in the program tonight

I'll have two shillings,please

Come along now,there's no
waiting links for the shillings

No waiting

Tickets please

Two shillings anywhere you
like in the first two rows,dear

There's what you done from your money

Performance start in a half a minute

George OK

Did you see Mrs Frost face when
she saw us buy the shillings?

It looks a good queue,all right

Ladies and gentlemen,
you are now abut to witness

the most sensational scientific
display ever presented to the public

Camelia

The only living mermaid who has enough
atomic energy in the nose and her ears

To flatten London if she
allowed to be harmed

Ladies and gentlemen we present
the disappearing mermaid,Camelia

Ladies and gentlemen

I believe I was found on the sea shore

they think that perhaps
I come out of the sea

because I could swim like a
fish long before I could walk

that is why I'm called Camelia the mermaid

My adopted father was a Russian
prince who escaped from the revolution

My adopted mother was a French actress

Very famous

When the w*r came I escaped from
the Germans to this beautiful country

And I offer my services to a
Professor of the Royal College of Science

Day or night the professor experimented
with me behind locked doors

After six months of hard work

he discovered the amount of
atomic energy in the female gut

is much more highly
concentrated than in the male

What you will now be privileged to see

is the result of jealousy guarded secrets

entrusted to me

by the leading out and bound
scientists of the USA and Great Britain

Now then,if two gentlemen
will kindly step upon the stage

they will have the privilege of
handcuffing Mademoiselle Camelia

now,come along gentlemen,
come along don't be bashful

How about you,Sir?

Come along,say the wife don't mind

Ah,here's a gentleman who
is keenly interested in science

Sir,this way

Now then,one more gentleman,
come along gentlemen,come along

We don't want to give Mademoiselle
Camelia a bad impression

Here,you down there on the(?),
Sir,what's up with you?

The young lady won't mind,will you,Miss?

-No
-That's right

You've got the reputation of
the town to keep up,hasn't he,Miss?

All right

Good

Then,Sir,perhaps you like
to test these chains

and pass along to the other side of
the stage,thank you so much

Now allow me to help you,will you

Thank you,mind the step,Sir

Now then perhaps you would
like to test these chains,Sir

You see ,ladies and gentlemen,
a strong man,OK ,Sir

-Nothing phoney about those?
-No

Now would you like to chain
the lady's wrist,Sir

And you the lady's ankles

I knew that what he was waiting for

Now ladies and gentlemen

we shall require two more
volunteers from the audience

come along gentlemen,
come along don't be shy

Ah,thank you,Sir,would you
mind coming up on the stage,Sir

Now will you take your position
there,Sir and you,Sir,here,Sir

Now,ladies and gentlemen

Camelia,the atomic mermaid is now chained
hand and foot,and is utterly unable to move

The gentlemen will raise her and
place her in the biggest glass tank

filled with real water,ever
presented to the public

Now gentlemen

Don't be afraid of
hurtling her up,will you?

Would you mind
assisting me with the lid,Sir?

Thank you

Excuse me,Sir

And now,ladies and gentlemen,
Mademoiselle Camelia

Will break the chains by releasing
the atomic energy in he kneecaps

And escape from the
tank by de atomizing herself

Hold tight ladies and
gentlemen,here we go

be careful or the vibrations of the
electrons will hit your eardrum

Lid,Sir

And now,ladies and gentlemen

Mademoiselle Camelia has
kindly consented to reward

One of the gentlemen,who assisted her,
in the true French manner

Not you,chum,you behave it

Where is my hat?

I'm sorry I lost it at
the seat,I'll get it

That's all right,dear,I'll go

You want to keep a bit of
Fiona laughing(?) our profession

People don't want to spend six pence to see
you near the scene Lord Nelson for nothing(?)

It's not my(?) if I want to go I go

Yeah,you stay here I say,will you

Hey,you take her hands off her,
you can't treat a lady like that

I'll teach you doing the fair

You go after me

No,don't get excited,
you know he's fad(?) for

You get out of here,get out

It's all right,it's all right,
I was going to stay anyway

-Oh,come on Dad
-Why don't you shut up

-Hello,Mr Playter
-Hello,Betty

What are you doing here,Bert,
it's much too early for you?

I just came in to collect
the old pay packet

What's the (?) for your wages,Bert?

Oh,me and Bet have been shopping
around,we are a run a bit short

And I thought I pop over
to Lord Nelson on that way

What is it? Your birthday Bet?

I wonder why you two were both dressed up

Come on Bet I've seen
enough of this place tonight

Yes,bye bye,Mr Playter

-So long,Reg
-So long,Bret

So long mate,have one on
me while you are there

Shan't be long,Bet dear

Can't I come in tonight,dad?

Now you know they are not
allowed to serve you under 18

I'm looking quite grown up in
my new hat,no one would know

You stop here and I'll bring
you out a glass of lemonade

Pint of Brand,please,Miss and a lemonade

I thought you hadn't recognized me

Of course I did

And I thought you were with a friend

I have no friends

Perhaps you'd have a drink with me

-Thank you
-Same again,Miss?

Yes,please

Why did you do that?

Buy you a drink?

No,stand up for me,I mean

All right,I just didn't like the
way he treated you,that's all

That's all?

I like that

1£ 6 please

-à votre santé,Monsieur
-Eh?

A votre chante,that
means to your good health

We are both plain soppy

Hey,what is that stuff?

Pernod

We drink it in France

Do you like to taste?

No thanks it smells like
cough mix doesn't it?

Do you really like it?

Oh,I don't know

That reminds me of home

-Dad
-Hello,Bet

You recognize this lady?

Oh,yes of course

You liked the show?

It was ever so nice,thank you

Look,Betty,here's your lemonade,dear

And you go and sit over at that
table while I buy this lady another drink

-You see?
-Yes,all right

She is very charming

It's my daughter

Your daughter?

I thought she was your girl friend

What? A kid of that age?

Oh,you are not so old

I was married 20 years ago

And your wife?

Well,I've been alone for the last
three years,I mean me and Bet that is

I'm so sorry

I know what it is to be alone

Was your father really a Russian prince?

Oh,you believe that stuff?

Fine princes that would make

Why not?

You're very sweet

No,my father was a fisherman

The German came,they shot him

Mother and I took to the road

They bombed us,we got separated

It was so horrible

How did you get over to this country?

Somebody took me

A sailor

Anything was better than
to stay there,anything

He was good to me at first

Men always are at first

Now you did not
ought to talk like that

That's true isn't it?

For about some men,yes,but not all

I've never met who wasn't

What happened to your Mum?

Did you ever hear from her?

Yes,she lives

Why don't you go back to her?

She is so strict,she wouldn't understand

Why not? I understand,why shouldn't she?

Do you really believe that?

Of course

Perhaps you're right

Come on,let's go and join Bet,shall we?

What do you call her?

Bet

Yes,it's short for Betty

-You're all right,Bet
-Yes,thank you,Dad

Don't you catch cold being
put in that tank every day?

I am used to it

That is,how smart you are,
what a charming (?)

Oh,I am glad you liked
it,I only got it today

My coat and hat are new too,
Dad bought them for me

You are a lucky girl

Perhaps it needs something

Oh,I think I have the very
thing for you,a little brooch

It'll make all the difference
I'll give it to you

Thank you

Is it true that French dresses
are much smarter than English one?

It's all the way you wear them

Now look at your hat

-We ought to be going
-Need we dad?

Don't argue,Bet

Excuse me

-I hope we meet again
-So do I my dear

And if we do I won't forget the brooch

Will you come to tea one day?

We live at 50 Adelaide Street

Oh,I don't mean because of the brooch but

I must go,bye

Good night,dear

That man a friend of yours?

What man?

Who just left you?

Mind your own business

I must know,what did he tell you?

Nothing

What do you know about him?

You came to the wrong address

I don't even know his name

He's a signalman,name is Mallison

Signalman? But he spend a lot of money

You must be mistaken

Maybe I was

What's the matter,Dad?

Dad,what's the matter?

Listen

Dad,what is it? Was it the man at the pub?

Shut up,calm you

Why do you run away like that,Dad?

I didn't run away,just someone I
didn't want to meet,that's all

Someone you had a row with?

That's right

Perhaps you are not standing up to him,Dad

You always liked to have it out with people

Yes I do,don't I Bet?

But I think I just go and have a
lie down before I go to work

Dad,when I was waiting outside
the pub,a man kept staring at me

Funny looking chap in a mac,
wasn't him,was it?

I'd expect just someone who had
too much to drink,that's all,Bet

Yes,that was I thought it was

I'll put the kettle on

You have a cup I don't feel
like for one for a moment

Good Evening,excuse me,are
there any messages for me?

No,there are no messages,Sir

Your friends here though

Hello,how are you Brown

Nice to see you again

After all this time

You two gentlemen being in for dinner?

Later on,thanks

We have a few things to discuss first

We can talk better in my room

Then we shan't be disturbed

You are not looking well,my friend

UK(?)air doesn't agree with you perhaps

BTW you do remember me,don't you?

Dupré,Inspector Dupré of
the prefecture of the police

A great deal of water has passed
under lot of bridges since I saw you last

I have retired,you know, I am working
now only in the private capacity

(?),sit down

Make yourself comfortable

Go

BTW you met your good
friend Teddy I suppose

I understand that he was here
to meet you on the day you arrived

Teddy,no,I finished with him

Well,that's good news,indeed

I'm glad he has nothing to do with this
the little matter we are discussing now

You know I had a very long(?)job preventing
old Contreau for coming over with me

Let's put out the cards on the table,Brown

You know old Contreau as well as I do

considering he gave you your
first job as an acrobat back in 1926

when he had the Casino de Montmartre

You worked for him several times since then

And it was not stage of the
casino that you had your accident

and had to give up stage work,wasn't it?

Yes

You know of course

that Contreau sold the casino to
an English syndicate last Saturday

Probably you know too

the buyers made a payment on
account for 5000 pounds in notes

That was one of your main(?)

Say be a good fellow
and pay attention to me

Up to 8 o'clock that evening the
5000£ was in the safe in Contreau's office

During the evening performance
Contreau left his office

And spent exactly 20
minutes watching the show

When he returned the safe was empty,
no one had come up from downstairs

The man on duty below was positive about it

The only way which anyone could
have got into the office

was by way of the window

They would have climb along the
wall from the window to the bar

Something of an acrobatic feat in fact

I personally know of only a
few men who could bring it off

I learned later that my old friend Brown

Had been seen having a drink in the bar

I want a drink I'm feeling dried out

Contreau has sent me here
to deliver a message to you

What message?

He told me he had no wish
to send the thief to jail

but was determined to get back his money

Or anyhow the bulk of it

The bulk of it,you understand?

Who gave you my address here?

Look,I said to Contreau,unlucky Jim,
not such a bachelor at heart

He will not hurt a fly

if I can see him in a
little apartment in Paris

with his nice little wife and the two
children,I'll soon be able to fix things up

You've been to my flat

Why did you do that?

I had a cup of tea with
your wife,we had a chat

What did you tell her?

You know it is not fair the way
you have treated your poor little wife

She told me you'd come
to England on business

I said what did you tell her

I think it would be better
if she told you that herself

Mrs Brown

Oh Jim

I'm sorry about this,Beryl

It's no good going it over now ,Jim

You are going to do what Mr Dupré said?

You are? Aren't you,Jim?

What do you mean blatting to my wife

Stick to your own job
and don't go interfering

Don't,it's better for me
to know,much better

I thought it was funny sometimes

You never told me much
about your businesses

I never though it was this

I never thought it was this

Well,now Brown you see the
state you got your little lady into

There's the chance of your lifetime to go
straight,you are (safe as trousers)?

fashion gives you away

and five hundred pounds in the bank
you can start a shop or a small business,

go there my friend
it's a chance in a million

I'm sure he'll accept Mr Contreau's offer

Oh Jim,dear,just think what it means

And I promise,dear

if we can start afresh now,I won't
always be bringing up what happened

I won't ever refer to it again

I know you wouldn't,Beryl

I got to have time,there's
something I must settle first

You'll be a good boy and hand it over now

It's no use you're playing for time

I'm sure he wasn't
thinking that,were you Jim?

He would never have started this life

I know he wouldn't

He hasn't always been unlucky(?)

Everybody against him

All right,Beryl

Better come to my room
now and hand it over to you

That's the spirit

Unlucky Jim won't suit you anymore

We should rather call you lucky Jim

What does the advertisement
say of this English dish?

You have for breakfast

"High o'er the fence leaps 'Sunny Jim'"

(?) is the food that raise the stick

Open the door,you'd be a fool,open the door

You,quick,there's a
prisoner,give me the key

Come back you fool

Don't

Don't come out,Bet, you'll get wet

All right,Dad

And you better lock up tonight

You are frightened of that man?

What man?

The one you said you quarrelled with

I wasn't thinking about him in particular

Good night,Betty

Good Night,Dad

God Bless you

And another thing I have had enough
of you lazing around here

Have been here for do all the work

waiting on your hand and foot

Who do you think you are? Lady Mac(?)

Lady Mac?

Who is she?

Oh stop it,come on with that water,
dear,I'm waiting for it

I've just have had enough
of it,I don't mind telling you

Now go to the front,dear,
I'm not taking any on the front

I can pick up any girl from the street and
make a better mermaid out of her than her

What's the good of all
these French program to us

There we missed (?) now

Oh,do quick rug me,George

Oh I don't listen

What he said is offered duck's back(?)

You're dead right off a duck's back

I wonder why she doesn't go out to the
West Indies(?) and there living

Too bone lazy to a decent job or work

I don't listen to these insults I go

I'll stay in a doghouse

Hear,not so much as a dog
say thank you very much

It isn't to you I speak,
Madame, is to this pork

My people would be horrified
if they could see me here

Lady Mac you see

I'd better have had enough of
you and of your wonderful people

it's a pity you can't go back to them

I'll go at once with the next boat,
when I have some money

What are you going to do now?
Go out and make some?

Now,George,manners please

Never mind what I do

Maybe I have better friends than you think

Oh,have you?

Then perhaps you can pay
me the 30 quid you owe me

I owe you nothing

You owe me for every
rag you have on your back

when I took you in,you'd
one dress and an old mac

and I had to teach your job and keep you

For six months I've worked for
you I don't believe in staying now

Don't you get in your head that you
can run off without paying your debts

Oh fetch us back a bottle
of Guinness,will you dear?

If you are not back in time for the
next performance I'll let the police on you

Shut up

Don't make a sound,I don't
mean to do you any harm

but if you do try to make a fuss
I shall do something about it

It's up to you

What do you want?

A suitcase,that's all,just an
old suitcase without any handle

it's mine and I want it,where is it?

I don't know

You tell me where your father put it or I

-Let me go,there's no case like that
-Isn't it?

I'll take a look myself

And you come with me

Where does your dad hide his valuables?

He hasn't got any

Now look I don't like hurting little girls

but sometimes it's got to be done

What's in there?

Nothing but old clothing

Only old clothes and things there

-Not an old suitcase by any chance
-No

You are lying

And stay there,keep quiet

You don't

What is it?

Don't be silly he has
gone out of the window

There's nothing to be afraid of

You won't go away will you?

No,no I won't leave you

Why are you all alone at
this time of the night?

Where is your dad?

In the signal box

Signal box? Oh

He won't be back until the morning

I can't stay in my house on my own now

My dear,calm yourself

All your face is crying like this

What will your boyfriend think
when he sees you tomorrow?

I haven't got a boyfriend

You won't get one with red eyes

I don't care,I don't like boys

I think they are soppy

Quite agree,my dear

Here what I brought for your dress

Oh,it's lovely

-Can I swap it for something?
-Swap it?

Give you something in it's place

No,no my dear

It's a present

Oh,it is ever so sweet of you

Tell me my dear,this thief

Was he a strange man?

With eyes that seemed
to look right through you?

Oh,that's right,he was outside the pub

How do you know?

Funny why a burglar should
want to come here

He wasn't an ordinary burglar

He was looking for a suitcase

-A suitcase?
-Yes

I can't tell you

Don't you trust me?

Of course I do

You just saved my life

But why?

Will you keep it secret,if I tell you?

Yes,of course

Dad found a suitcase yesterday on
the street and brought it home here

It must be something very precious in

I don't know

You've been alone here and hadn't looked?

What a girl

Dad said to leave it alone

Where did he put it?

In the cupboard under the stairs

Come on let's have a look at it

We mustn't,dad would be ever so angry

We needn't tell him

Where is it?

Over there in the corner

No it isn't

That's where dad put it there

But it is not here now

Oh I am so glad,dad,must have
taken it to the police after all

Or he has hidden it where it is safer

What have I ended up with?

Look here

I won't say nothing if we
split the cash with him

OK

No,what do I think I am?

A crook?

He's come to do me in

OK get out of it,can't you

I must talk to you

This is railway property
and you get off it

Seen any funny looking customers
around here tonight?

No,I ain't seen no one

Well,what's up?

We are looking for a fellow,name of Brown

That's him,they found him

-There's dad
-My dear,what's the matter?

Nothing and he is a bit
funny about anything new

You think he will not like to find me here?

No,but I want to tell him first

You won't come out will you?

Hello,Bet

What's up is anything wrong?

Look,that lady came here last night

-What lady?
-The mermaid

She's in the parlour

I wish I hadn't left you alone

Dad you have given it
to the police,haven't you?

Don't you worry about that
suitcase,that's my business

Hello,Good morning

Morning

I must thank you for
looking after our Bet last night

That's nothing,I have made
breakfast for you in here

That is nice of you

I'll get it out of the oven

We have the fire burning,it's very cosy

We haven't used this room
since last Christmas

That's my Mum

She's very charming

That's Betty's Mum

That's little Bet when she was 6 months old

Where is Betty's first communion?

A what?

A photo of Betty in her
white dress and veil

I'm sure she was looking very sweet

We don't have anything
like that in this country

No,what a pity

In England you have no faith,
no dress for saints?

We have Guy Fawkes day on the 5th of Nov

Of England I know nothing

Oh it's so nice here

At us we were having it like this

What? At your end?

Yes

My home

You don't know what it
means to be in a real home

Not until you lost it

It can't be much of life of
you living in that caravan

As much for the lice
it's like living with pigs

Here

What made you come here last night?

But I brought her the brooch

Oh,I see

I see,I see

That's what you English always
say when do you not see

To tell you the truth it
was not only the brooch

I couldn't stand these
horrible people any longer

I have no place to go

So I came to you

-Won't be a minute,dad
-All right,Bet

The poor little child was terribly
frightened when I arrived last night

You will go to the police about
this man after breakfast

There's plenty of time,he's
probably miles away by now

I think I'll gone out and
help Bet with the breakfast

It's all right I'll take it

What's this?

Omelette,ham omelette

-Madame Camelia
-Please call me Marie

Camelia is only is only
the name I use in show

Marie,showed me how to beat up
the eggs in the basin warm first

or they come up all fluffy

French cookery,eh?

Oh,it's fine

She showed me another
dish too,choux en la grosse

Ever so cheap and you cook it in
sour milk what we throw away in England

But it must be rare choux

What the red shoe cooked inside milk?

No it means cabbage

choux en gras

But that's not enough for your dinner

What would you like to the(?)

I shall cook dinner,if you permit

I don't know

I want to give dad a real treat
I'll go down to the beach crabbing

Crabs,that's a wonderful good market

One get a dinner for nothing like that

It's a lovely day for it,look

Let's go

But you are not dressed for crabbing

You'll spoil those things

Perhaps you have something
old you can lend me?

Of course,I'll find you something

OK you don't want to
get wet and all mucked up

I'm used to getting wet,it's my job

Will these be all right?

Lovely my dear

Just the thing,I'll go and change

I'll bring you a pair of
rubber boots in a minute

It's all right,Bet,I'll take them
I must go upstairs anyway

-Have you finished breakfast?
-Yes,thank you,dear I've had all I wanted

Come in

I'm sorry

Don't stand like a stone

Come and help me

What's the matter with you?

You've seen me with
less than this yesterday

Look what you've done,you bruised
me when you put me in the tank

That was not nice (?)

Now you hurt me again

Give me the boots

You behave like this
with Betty downstairs

All right,I'm not going to touch you

I just want you to ask
you something that's all

Well,what is it?

Why don't you give up that job at the fair?

After all you ought to do
something better than that

Showing yourself off in front
of lot of men half naked

What can I do?

All I can do is smiling and be nice

And I'm not even very clever of
that people I don't like

You can cook

I mean

Some sort of housekeeping jobs,
that's what I was thinking

No thank you I don't want
to cook for strangers

I want to cook for my own people

My own stitch

I don't see why you shouldn't

Because I can't leave the fair

Gowshall say I owe them money

How much?

30 £

Not much perhaps

But too much for people like me

-And you?
-Something might turn up

Wait for the miracle,eh

I mustn't bother you with my work

So I share holiday with Betty

and then just into my session and
back to the tank and the chains

-Marie
-Yes?

What is it?

You like me a bit don't you?

You are nice and kind to me

I'm quite for it

Give us a kiss,say we?

Give us a kiss then

You are funny

Marie are you ready?

Marie are you coming,I'm ready

Now you do look nice

Mind you do not fall in those boots

Betty

Look here ,Bet

I don't want you mention about
that man breaking in last night

Neither of you

OK Dad

Don't worry I keep my mouth shut

Nothing to keep the mouth shut about
I just don't want it talked about

That's all

All right,cheerio,Dad

Cheerio Bet and

Take care of yourselves

-Bye
-Bye

Look Marie

What is it?

See those silver line over there

That's your country,that's France

Does look near,doesn't it?

It looks near but it isn't

At least not for me

I'm sorry Marie I didn't
mean to make you sad

You're awfully home sick,aren't you?

Who cares if I am or not

Come on,Betty

let's be happy and catch a nice crab
and cook a lovely dinner for your dad

All right,but I must go and get the
basket out of that shed,won't be a sec

What's the matter,what is it?

He is in there

-Who?
-The man last night

Stay here

I heard something moving
I thought it was animal at first

Never mind about that,where is he now?

I locked him in

You'd better give me the key

My dear,why do you look
so worried he is safe there

He can't get out until
the police comes again

Have you been to the police?

Not yet

But if you like and can
go and tell them now

For what it is worth

If anyone gets to the police I will

And there are too many people
poking their noses into my business

Why do you speak to me like that?

Are you frightened of the police?

Is that it?

I think I'll change my clothes
and go back to the fair

Here is your key

Wait a minute,Marie

I'm sorry I spoke like that

Shall I make a cup of tea,Dad?

No

You'd better go and get something
for dinner as you didn't get me crabs

Yes,dad

And don't you worry,Betty

I'm gonna fix everything straight away

Camelia

Marie,can I come in for a minute?

As you wish

I'm sorry I flared up like that just now

I said I was sorry

I'm used to being treated like
dirt by the Gowshall and by everybody

I didn't think you would start the same

Anyway there's no time for arguing

I shall be late for the performance

Hear

What will you say if you never
was allowed to go to the fair again

I would say thank heavens

Well I'll fix everything

I've seen Gowshall and
I paid off your debts

You are free

Is it true?

-You are not pulling my leg?
-No,I'm not pulling your leg

Are you pleased?

Pleased?

I don't know whether I am
on my head or my feet

How can I thank you?

Here

You mustn't do that to me

Was Gowshall serious?

He did cut up a bit rough when I told him

Told him what?

That

We

You and I were going to be married

That was what you said

I was looking (?)

But I hadn't asked you then

But you said you wanted
a little home of your own

And I'm offering it to you now

Why don't you say something?

You know how I'm longing to see my mother

I thought I could go back to her

You can go

For a visit

After we are married

If not this year,we'll
certainly next spring or so

You see owing to all
expenses I have had lately

My savings are running a bit low just now

Was it out of your savings that you bought
the frock(?) for Betty and paid Gowshall?

Oh,yes

What did you think?

I don't know

I thought you had a little

What do you call it?

A little windfall

The suitcase

How did you know about that?

Never mind how

I know there is something
bad with this suitcase

Oh,yeah,I warned you before,Marie,
not to poke your nose into my business

You can't forbid my mouth to talk

Is that how you are going to treat me?

Once we are married

I think you have done something wrong

And I don't want to be mixed with it

I've been a bit foolish,that's all,
private and simple things,right?

You'll have to take my word for it

You don't even trust me enough to tell
me what happened and I shall marry you?

And now you can say nothing,ha

All right

I'll trust you

I'll show how much I trust you

So I dashed out of the signal box
and I dived in after him

That's what I found in the suitcase

I got no secret from you

Are you satisfied?

How much is it?

5000 quid

5000?

Is it real money?

Yes,that's real money

What are you going to do?

I know I ought to have informed the
police as soon as I found the money

For once I didn't do the right thing

But don't think too badly of me,Marie

And I give you my solemn oath

before we are married I'll
have everything settled and wiped there

If you give it back they
will put you in prison

But even if the do it would
only be for a fortnight or so

That would be a nice
beginning for my married life

Waiting for a criminal
to come out of prison

But at least it will be over and done with

And I could never be happy
with this on my conscience

What about me?

You show me this money

You let me have a beautiful
dream take me to France

Take you to France?

With this money in France we
can have a wonderful life

All safe all tranquille

But you want to lose your job,
you want to go to prison

You want the poor little Betty so miserable

You're cruel

Don't take on like this ,Marie

We'll think of some way around it,see

I implore you in France one can live

We can buy a nice house

With a wonderful fishing boat for you in(?)

And for me the kitchen and the ménage

And we find Betty a good husband
and get her a nice handsome dowry

Everybody would envy and respect us

But what good what that do
if we couldn't respect ourselves

But if we make fool of
ourselves then we can respect us

What happens with
this money if you give it back?

To what people is it?

Some bank perhaps, some rich old
businessman who doesn't need it

Are they better than Betty,or
I or my starving mother?

This people you don't know at all

Listen,Marie

Don't go near me

Listen,say I did agree

How are we going to get to France?

You leave that to me

First

We hide the money again

I think I take a note to the Gowshall

Wait a minute

Put that back

I'll give you five pounds out of my savings

-Once we start touch that
-Dear what are you talking about?

You agreed that we keep
the money,didn't you?

Not definitely

Oh yes you did

You want me to be happy,don't you?

Yes

Do what I tell you and
everything will be all right

Marie

Can you get through to the police up there?

What is it? Somebody drowned himself?

Looks like someone done
him in,his head bashed in

All right,I relay the information

Hello

Thatcher speaking,Sir

They just fished a corpse
up near the window here

But he will starve to death in that shed

But why do you worry about?
This man is a criminal

Yes, but he is a human being like we are

He didn't really mean to do that (?)

He was just trying to
defend himself that's all

You must have that
right out of your head

Right out of your head,see

He wouldn't take any risk to save you

And you listen to me

This is what we do

We take one of those
day trips across the channel

And once we are there,we disappear

Be quiet for a bit

You agree to this

Whatever happens?

Yes,Marie

Sorry to disturb you,Mr Mallison
but the chief want a word with you

Oh,what about?

I guess it's about this
corpse they fished out

Near your signal box

Corpse?

I'll be down straight away

Right

There you are,the sooner we
get away with the money the better

What you mean I oughtn't go to the police?

Bert,of course you go,anything you
have to watch is your tongue

In the meantime I prepare everything
and in the morning we start

Trust me,that's all

All right

All right,Marie

You recognize him?

I've never seen him,Sir

Does that face mean anything to you?

No,Sir

-Are you quite certain about that?
-Yes,Sir

On the night of the 18th,
during the course of your night shift

are you quite certain you
didn't hear any noises

indicative of a fight or quarrel??

Well,you see,Sir,there is always a
bit of a din going on outside the box

Faint shouting,engine whistles and that

Yes I remember now there was a
heavy wind blowing that night

so for that been anything that unusual

well I wouldn't have any chance
to hear it,would I Sir?

That sounds reasonable enough

I would like to see the signal box for
myself,would you have any objections?

Oh,no,Bates

ring up the stationmaster tell him
Inspector Dupré will be coming along

Excellent,Inspector

You say Monsieur Dupré

has my full permission to
examine the harbour station signal box

Yes Sir

Send then next one in

-You want me any more,Sir
-That'll be all for the moment

-All right,Sir
-Thank you

Thanks for taking over
Bert,you're a real pal,mate

OK Cheerio

I wonder we introduce them
you see,Mademoiselle Camelia

My wife,Marie

This is Marie Mallison

How lucky he is this rich Englishman
to have such a beautiful wife

What lovely clothes he gets her

And his daughter Betty,what a lucky girl,

Funny,old Bert running off like that

How does saw that old
Bert turned out to be thief

Is it right dad? With there in the shed?

You starve

He'll starve

You have a nice easy job here

No wonder you're not
interested in the world outside

When you're so warm and snug

You gave me a quite a start?

Don't disturb yourself I only
want to look around

Carry on,Sir

You must be very keen on your job

I understood that you didn't
start your shift for sometime yet

You see my mate was taken sick
and he asked me to take over for him

You are a kind-hearted man

He'd done same for me if I felt seedy

I'm surprised to find that you can see
so little from your vantage point up here

In fact you can see nothing at all

surely in the course of your job it is
necessary to see trains come and go

How do you manage?

I rub the glass clear like you did,Sir

Yes,but of course

How stupid of me

It's hot in here

You don't mind if I let in a little air

-Do you like a cig?
-No thank you

Have you found the
man who have done it yet?

-The m*rder*r?
-Yes

That is for the English police
my job is to get the money back

-What sort of money is stolen
-5000 £

You know it's a bit chilly in here

We don't usually have these windows
open until the warm weather

I'm surprised,you are not more curious,
you can see so much from here

There you see,they have
no idea they are observed

I should find it most
delightful to sit in that seat

It's no interest to me spying
on cork and cotton

My friend,law is not your living,
you might observe from these windows

There are all the fashion so fickle(?)

If not greater interest,

anger,cupidity if you had been less
content with your warm stove for the night

If you had been less
frightened by the draft

You might even had had the
thrill of witnessing a m*rder

That bloke,he couldn't have been done in
under that window then I'd heard something

But you told the CID Inspector that
there was too much noise here

the wind, and the trains shunting

You get a few minutes
advance when it's quiet

And it would just depend

whether the fight took place during
one of those quiet spells,wouldn't it?

Perhaps you are looking not
to have witness the m*rder

After all Paul Brown might have looked up
and come in here and done for you too

But knowing the sort of fellow he is

I take it more likely he would bribe
you to keep your mouth shut

With some of the 5000£

Hear,if you are insinuating

I'm insinuating nothing

Perhaps I nearly letting my French
imagination run away with me

I have nothing against you my friend

I know nothing about you

But I cannot exclude no possibilities
and what I suggest is a possibility

That's all

Go on with your nap,please

An if any recollection of some
incident should come back to you

you know,some things that
might have slipped your memory

You might let me know
I am at the Thetford Hotel

Don't forget,will you?

Monsieur Dupré,Thetford Hotel

Mallison,here,Sir

I have to go out,my little
girl has been taken ill

Sorry can you hang on for another hour?

No,I ought to go now,Sir, she's pretty bad

-All right set by the rules and run away
-Thank you very much,Sir

Mr Brown

Are you there?

Mr Brown

Mr Brown

Listen

I know you are here

I won't give you away

Are you right then?

Feel that way about it?

I've come in to help you

You know what you need is some grub

I brought you some

Some sandwiches in there

Well,you can see them
if you don't believe me

Or hear

There is no use you shamming dead

But if you done about
they find a lot smashed

There's the grub

And I brought you a few little rum

I'll go now

I'll bring you some
more grub in the morning

Answer me can't you

I can't stand here all night

Look here

I'll give you until I count three

Do you hear me?

Then I count three

One

Two

I'm sorry

I didn't mean it

You know I didn't mean you any harm

I'll get you a doctor

I'll give you back your money

Or help you to get away

I didn't start it you know I didn't

I was just getting you some grub wasn't I ?

I knew it might be(?)

I might have

Dad we didn't expect you yet

There is some soup for you in the kitchen

Dad

Not honey

You must leave me alone

Sorry Marie

I want that

What's wrong with you? Where have you been?

Give me back that note
you took this morning

Come on,give it to me

What's that on your hand?

It's on your coat too

What have you done?

It's all over

Our trip to France

All over

I've k*lled him

You've k*lled him?

Or you're mad

You're crazy

You've ruined everything

What are you coming about for?

We must get away from here at once

I must give this money back

You can leave it behind
they can find it quick enough

Here ,here is the money I took

Now we haven't touched any of them

Sorry Marie but I must see
these thing through on my end

But you can't you k*lled a man

They'll hang you,don't you
understand,they'll hang you

Are you sorry that he came at me first?

I hit back I had to

So it was in self defence you k*lled him

I'll tell you what to do

You tell them you went to the shed
to prepare for a fishing expedition

You didn't know this man was in the shed

You've never seen him before

He attacked you and you defended your self

When he was dead you found
he had hidden the suitcase in the boat

And you took it direct to the police

It is all so easy

I don't want the easy way out

I'm going to tell them the truth

But why?

Why would you with a
rope around your neck

I must have the old things
settled for good and all

I must

You must

You want

You always only think of you

What about me?

What shall I do?

What shall become of me?

-Listen Marie
-Don't touch me

Don't dear touch me with those hands

So I don't want to have anything
to do with the blood on your hands

I could have been so happy but
you had to go and destroy it all

Oh what a fool you are

I hate you

Don you hear me? I hate you and
your big ugly clumsy head

I've always hated them

Always

Always

Dad you haven't k*lled him have you?

Don't upset yourself,Betty

It's all over now

Come on

I'm taking you across to Reg and Mabel

I've

I've spoken to them

Come on,Bet

What's happening in
the kitchen,Bet,maybe(?)

See everything is all right

Yes,Dad

You(?)

Thank you

Hurry up a little bit

I don't want to keep Reg and Mabel wake

Have you locked the back door yet?

Yes,Dad

Are all the windows closed?

Yes,Dad

That's fine

Dad

Dad

Come on

Now look here

You don't want to let them
see you've been crying,do you?

Tell me no

Look

There's old Reg by

Better go off
