They Drive by Night is a 1938 British black-and-white crime thriller film directed by Arthur B. Woods and starring Emlyn Williams as Shorty, an ex-con, and Ernest Thesiger as Walter Hoover, an ex-schoolmaster. It was produced by Warner Bros. - First National Productions and based on the novel They Drive by Night by James Curtis.

00:01:17 Come on then.
00:01:18 Have those when you came in?
00:01:31 Yeah.
00:01:32 They'll be so dry they'll burn your blooming lungs out.
00:01:35 I'd smoke a bit of old rope after eighteen months of this.
00:01:38 [Music]

00:02:15 A topping that early in the morning.
00:02:25 Yeah, won't I be glad to get out of here before they do.

00:03:15 Well, you'll be out of games with me, boy.
00:03:17 Dead.
00:03:19 [Music]
00:03:26 Excuse me, can I have a word with you?
00:03:28 What about?
00:03:29 You've just been in there, haven't you?
00:03:31 So what if I have?
00:03:32 No offense, men. I just wondered if you ever got to speak to this chap, Alan.
00:03:35 Alan? You mean the fellow they're going to top this morning?
00:03:38 Aye. Did you know him?
00:03:40 No.
00:03:41 He wasn't a bad chap. I just wondered how he took it.
00:03:44 Now look here, Jock, you can't go around killing James and expect to get away with it.
00:03:47 I don't think he meant to kill her, you see it.
00:03:49 Well, he did, didn't he? And for that stroke you get, well, you get the nine o'clock walk.
00:03:53 Your pal of yours?
00:03:55 No, he's my brother.
00:03:58 [Bell tolls]
00:04:02 [Bell tolls]
00:04:11 [Bell tolls]
00:04:24 [Bell tolls]
00:04:28 I see they topped that, Alan. Even with all them people signing that petition.
00:04:39 Yeah. All that schmuzzle didn't do him no good.
00:04:42 Well, why should it? There's got to be a law out there.
00:04:45 Now take you and me. Why can't I sleep home peacefully at night? Why?
00:04:49 Because you ain't got a lodger, cock.
00:04:51 How's the old Charlie? What's your hurry?
00:04:54 - When did you get back? - This morning.
00:04:56 You're looking good.
00:04:57 Well, I ought to be. I've been resting for 18 moons.
00:05:00 Give us a cup of the old Acamaraca, Charlie, will you?
00:05:02 Sure.
00:05:03 If you like the old times, seeing you round the place again, shorty.
00:05:05 That's right.
00:05:07 Give us a fresh packet of fags, will you?
00:05:09 I had these when I went in and they burn like your grandmother's feather bed.
00:05:13 - Yeah? - Yeah.
00:05:14 How's all the boys, Murray?
00:05:15 Oh, all right. Most of them are all right.
00:05:17 Some of them have been away for a bit. You know how it is.
00:05:20 I know. A lot of fatties after you all the time. Never giving a fella a chance.
00:05:24 What have you been doing, Murray?
00:05:26 Oh, a little of this, a little of that. I've been lucky.
00:05:29 I'm running the Pins and Needles Club now.
00:05:31 Cutting into my business, he is.
00:05:33 Oh, is that so?
00:05:34 All the boys still hang out there?
00:05:36 Yeah. You'll be along again, I suppose.
00:05:39 You try and keep me out.
00:05:41 You'd better spend your money in here, shorty.
00:05:43 Your snooker will be too rusty to play with that bunch.
00:05:45 I'll pick it up quick enough.
00:05:47 I'll be seeing you then. So long.
00:05:49 See you tonight.
00:05:50 All right.
00:05:51 You know, Charlie, my boy, this is the real stuff out of the wash I've been used to.
00:05:57 Got some milk in it.
00:05:58 I should say so.
00:06:00 What are you going to do, shorty?
00:06:01 Are you going back on the old lark?
00:06:03 What else can I do?
00:06:05 Why don't you get out of it? Get a straight job.
00:06:07 Look at me. The boys are my best customers.
00:06:10 But not yours truly. No.
00:06:12 I stay off the crook and keep me nose clean.
00:06:14 And when I go away, it's only the south end.
00:06:17 That's all right for you, but ever since I was a kid, they've had it in for me.
00:06:20 Come off it. It's not as bad as that.
00:06:22 That's all you know.
00:06:23 The ones who've been inside, they keep on after you,
00:06:25 and they'll put you in a stir for nothing just because you've got a record.
00:06:28 Charlie?
00:06:29 What's your name?
00:06:30 Hello. Can I have a packet of the usual?
00:06:32 Sure.
00:06:33 Here you are, sweetheart.
00:06:42 Chalk it up, will you?
00:06:43 Oh, all right.
00:06:45 (HORN HONKS)
00:06:47 Long time since you've been that close to a duty, eh, Charlie?
00:06:54 Too long.
00:06:55 Who's she?
00:06:58 One of the regulars.
00:07:00 Remember Alice? Alice Carson I've hung out with?
00:07:04 Is she still about?
00:07:05 Is she still about?
00:07:06 I should say she is.
00:07:07 Got a job at the Pallady Dance.
00:07:09 Dance hostess.
00:07:10 And that clothes. I don't know where she gets them from.
00:07:13 She's a million-dollar baby now.
00:07:15 Too rich for your blood, surely?
00:07:17 She is, is she?
00:07:18 But I can soon take care of that.
00:07:20 Where's she live?
00:07:21 Round the corner in Drummond Street.
00:07:23 Over the newsagents.
00:07:24 I might go along one of these days and have a butcher's.
00:07:26 Sure, why not?
00:07:27 She'd be glad to see you, for old times' sake.
00:07:29 I'll have my story over, Charlie.
00:07:30 That's all right. It's on the house.
00:07:32 Glad to see you back again.
00:07:33 Oh, well, thanks.
00:07:34 I think I'll go along and see if I can find one or two of the boys.
00:07:38 Sure.
00:07:39 And if you don't find them, come back here about seven o'clock.
00:07:42 Someone will be in for a search.
00:07:44 Sure.
00:07:45 OK, me old Charlie.
00:07:46 Um, shorty.
00:07:48 Give my love to Alice.
00:07:50 How's the flowers? Lovely blooms.
00:07:57 How much are roses, ma'am?
00:07:58 A shilling and a marquise, thanks.
00:07:59 I'll give you a tenner.
00:08:00 Ah, all right, Ducks.
00:08:02 God bless you.

00:10:31 Well, young man?
00:10:32 Morning, ma.
00:10:34 Here, not so fast.
00:10:35 What are you doing in my house?
00:10:37 I was just looking for a pal of mine up there upstairs.
00:10:40 Oh, you were, were you?
00:10:41 Yes.
00:10:42 It's that Alice.
00:10:43 I told her when she took a room here, I says none of your tricks here, miss, I says.
00:10:46 I don't know what you're talking about.
00:10:47 I don't know anything about... No, Alice.
00:10:49 I was just looking for a pal of mine, like I said.
00:10:52 Come on, I want to get off here.
00:10:54 I'm going upstairs to put her right out, so don't you let me catch you here again.
00:10:58 [music]
00:11:19 Listen here, my girl.

00:12:42 Once again, we bring you an episode in our series of famous murder trials.
00:12:47 This week, we will reconstruct for you a case in which a murder was solved by one detail after another.
00:12:54 It was built up into an unbreakable chain of circumstantial evidence.
00:12:58 The murderer tried to prove an alibi, but it didn't help him.
00:13:01 The evidence collected gradually and remorselessly.

00:16:07 You don't have to be going up north, mate, do you?
00:16:09 Might be. Why?
00:16:10 Well, I want to get up to Sheffield.
00:16:11 Huh?
00:16:12 There's a missus up there.
00:16:13 Well, I'll see what I can do.
00:16:14 I'm going to have a cup of chow. I'd better come on in.
00:16:15 Well, uh...
00:16:16 [chatter]
00:16:22 Quike, are you going up north again already?
00:16:24 Blimey, I go down to the yard and unload.
00:16:25 They turn me round and send me back again like a blooming trite.
00:16:28 What are you grumbling about? You get an extra ten bob for yourself, don't you?
00:16:30 Ten bob?
00:16:31 Even with the extras, you can't make a decent living at this job.
00:16:34 If it wasn't for the missus making the bid on the side with the cab, we'd be blooming well starved.
00:16:38 Come on, miss, come on. Let's have a cup of tea.
00:16:40 Get that tea now.
00:16:41 What's yours, John?
00:16:42 No, mate, this is my treat.
00:16:44 Can you get a room for me, please, in one of them sausage rows, please?
00:16:47 Leave it to me, Ducks.
00:16:49 How's business down your way, Walt?
00:16:50 Not so bad. The old woman's half dead at night serving teas and all.
00:16:53 I shouldn't know. You've got to work hard for your dough these days.
00:16:55 It's a proper Charlie asking.
00:16:56 You're right.
00:16:57 Good evening.
00:16:58 Hello, Wally.
00:16:59 Lovely night, ain't it?
00:17:00 Sorry, Ducks, nothing doing.
00:17:01 What do you mean, nothing doing?
00:17:03 I'm not going your way and I can't give you a lift.
00:17:05 Who asked for a lift anyway?
00:17:07 Now, look here, I can't lose my job over you lorry girls.
00:17:10 Lorry girls? What do you mean?
00:17:11 Aye, aye, aye, cut it out.
00:17:12 You keep your mouth shut.
00:17:13 I ain't going to let no big stiff of a lorry driver get fresh with me.
00:17:16 [shouting]
00:17:22 Take your filthy hands off me.
00:17:24 I'll have the police on you.
00:17:25 [shouting]
00:17:29 I'm going to be fighting somebody else, you see.
00:17:31 [shouting]
00:17:33 That's enough of that, boys.
00:17:34 It's all right now, Gordon, it's all over.
00:17:35 Just forget it.
00:17:36 I didn't talk him while he was writing.
00:17:38 No, no, he didn't.
00:17:39 Them Jones are the curse of the road.
00:17:40 They get tougher every day.
00:17:41 Well, them too was tough, all right.
00:17:42 Did you find many of them up and down the place?
00:17:44 Yeah, dozens of them.
00:17:47 I'll knock it.
00:17:48 Take a picture of that bloke with Wally.
00:17:50 So your missus lives in Shelby?
00:17:53 Yeah, she works there.
00:17:54 She's got a business there.
00:17:57 There you are.
00:17:58 There it is.
00:17:59 His name's Matthews.
00:18:01 You and your Matthews.
00:18:02 How could he get here?
00:18:03 Oh, I don't know about that.
00:18:05 But anyway, it says here he's a little bloke with dark hair wearing a grey suit.
00:18:09 You better ask Wally.
00:18:11 Come on, get your mind back on the game.
00:18:13 What is it, mate?
00:18:14 Oh, sorry, I just thought I saw a chap I know, so...
00:18:17 Oi, Wally.
00:18:21 What?
00:18:22 Come here a minute.
00:18:23 I jumped in to see you.
00:18:25 What?
00:18:26 What is it?
00:18:28 Just take a look at this.
00:18:30 I thought it was you.
00:18:33 Yeah!
00:18:34 What's the matter with you?
00:18:35 What's the matter with you?
00:18:36 What's the matter with you?
00:18:37 Wally, what do you take this place for?
00:18:38 What's the matter with you?
00:18:39 I'll teach you to go around running after another fella's missus.
00:18:42 What?
00:18:43 We are partying.
00:18:44 I ain't never seen this bloke before.
00:18:45 No, and I ain't never seen you before neither, only once.
00:18:48 But you've been seeing plenty of a certain party, ain't you, Mr. Blooming Smith?
00:18:52 Smith?
00:18:53 Now I know his office now.
00:18:55 Now don't you try that on with me.
00:18:56 My name ain't Smith, and I never told no one it was.
00:18:59 Of course he's not Smith.
00:19:00 This man's name's Mackenzie.
00:19:01 Wait a minute.
00:19:03 Is this straight up?
00:19:05 Of course it's straight up.
00:19:06 I'm not trying to kill anybody.
00:19:07 Well, I'm sorry.
00:19:09 Well, a chap can make a mistake, can't he?
00:19:11 You can't go on making mistakes like that.
00:19:13 Well, you see, I only saw this fella once, and well, all I can say is if you ain't him, well, you're his twin, that's all.
00:19:19 Okay?
00:19:20 Okay.
00:19:21 But I'd like to give you back that one you gave me.
00:19:24 Take that on tea, will you?
00:19:25 Righto.
00:19:26 Here, Bill.
00:19:29 What?
00:19:30 Get a basinful of this.
00:19:31 All the time we was talking about him, he was thinking I was no better than his lodger, and we thought you was a murderer.
00:19:35 Blimey.
00:19:36 This Matthew's I'm looking for.
00:19:37 Matthew's who's he?
00:19:38 The bloke what done in that girl today.
00:19:40 Oh, him?
00:19:41 Yes.
00:19:42 Come on, lads, what's he gonna be?
00:19:43 A rosy lead for me.
00:19:44 I'll have a cup of tea.
00:19:45 What makes you think I was this Matthew's?
00:19:46 Well, the paper said he was a little bloke wearing a grey suit.
00:19:48 I've been telling you, John, there's thousands of little blokes in this world and thousands of grey suits too.
00:19:53 That's right, and there's one too many now, isn't there?
00:19:55 That's right.
00:19:56 Oh, tell us, do you know this fella Smith?
00:19:59 George Smith his name is, and he drives a lorry too.
00:20:01 No, no, no, no, that was George.
00:20:03 I knew that I'd gone there, wouldn't I?
00:20:05 I suppose you would.
00:20:06 Well, better drink up, you're coming along with me.
00:20:08 How much is that, mate?
00:20:10 I'll see you, four teas now and the other lot, give us a bob, John.
00:20:12 There you are.
00:20:13 Good night, buddy.
00:20:14 Good night.
00:20:15 Good night, my mate.
00:20:16 Well, no hard feelings, eh?
00:20:17 No, that's all right, mate.
00:20:19 But here, if you come across this George Smith, give him the same wallop you give me, will you?
00:20:23 Good night, buddy.
00:20:24 Good night.
00:20:25 Good night, mate.
00:20:26 Bungo, go on.
00:20:27 Blimey.
00:20:29 [train whistle]
00:20:31 You going far tonight?
00:20:56 To the side of Bedford.
00:20:57 My wife runs one of these here, Caps.
00:20:59 Does she?
00:21:00 Must have rubbed your legs up in some of them sacks.
00:21:02 We know up in Ippy.
00:21:03 How?
00:21:04 Now, look here, son, I don't think you've proved you aren't this fella they're looking for.
00:21:20 Don't worry, I tell my aunt.
00:21:22 Who are you, anyway?
00:21:23 My name's Thompson.
00:21:24 What?
00:21:25 Now.
00:21:26 Got something to prove it?
00:21:28 Well, perhaps I haven't, perhaps I haven't.
00:21:30 What's it got to do with you, anyway?
00:21:31 Why do you take me up if you think I'm this fella, Matthews?
00:21:34 Well, if I said anything in the cap, I might have got an innocent bloke into trouble.
00:21:37 And I wasn't sure.
00:21:39 You wasn't?
00:21:42 Meaning you are now?
00:21:43 Well, I can always change my mind.
00:21:44 How do you think you are running the rule over me?
00:21:46 I ain't running the rule over you.
00:21:47 Don't look at the fix I'm in.
00:21:48 I'll give you a lift, and if you are this year, Matthews, you'll also get into trouble.
00:21:52 What you gonna do?
00:21:53 Nothing.
00:21:54 When you get to Bedford, you'll have to explain yourself to the cops.
00:21:56 Now, look here, what...
00:21:57 Why don't you try any copers with me?
00:21:58 Why ain't you good tempered as a jock?
00:22:00 Listen.
00:22:04 I admit it.
00:22:05 I'm sorry, Matthews.
00:22:06 I'm the fella they're looking for, but I didn't do it, so help me, I didn't.
00:22:09 What?
00:22:10 You couldn't turn me in, you couldn't.
00:22:11 You said just now you'd never get an innocent fella into trouble.
00:22:13 Well, I'm innocent, see?
00:22:14 And why are you doing the scarper?
00:22:15 Because they'd never give me a break.
00:22:16 I got a record, see?
00:22:17 And once they caught me, well, they wouldn't even start looking for the fella that really done it.
00:22:20 Look, you didn't do it.
00:22:21 There must be some way of proving it.
00:22:22 There isn't, I tell you, there isn't.
00:22:23 They got me on this thing they call circumstantial evidence.
00:22:25 It'll only make it any worse for running away.
00:22:27 I've got to keep away from them.
00:22:29 I might strike lucky, you never know.
00:22:31 They might find the guy that really done it, by accident perhaps.
00:22:33 You sound as if you're telling the truth.
00:22:35 They don't cut no ice.
00:22:36 It ain't up to me to help you get away and lose my job.
00:22:39 They top me for the dead, sir.
00:22:41 Look here, son, I've got a wife.
00:22:42 I know.

00:23:42 [engine revving]
00:23:50 [engine revving]
00:23:52 Hi, mate. What's up?
00:24:15 Had a bit of a skid, nearly broke me ruddy neck.
00:24:17 Are you all right?
00:24:18 Well, I am if this perishin' wagon is. Have a look, will you, chum?
00:24:20 Yeah, all right.
00:24:21 She looks all right to me.
00:24:27 Headlamp's a bit bent.
00:24:29 How's the steering?
00:24:31 Well, it don't seem so bad. I'll straighten her up.
00:24:34 All right, go on. Back as you are.
00:24:36 [engine revving]
00:24:38 She'll do.
00:24:47 Well, I'm a bit shaky, ain't you?
00:24:48 So would you be if you just missed copping a packet?
00:24:50 Yeah, they stopped you tonight.
00:24:51 Who?
00:24:53 The coppers. They're now part lookin' for some bloke from London.
00:24:55 I've been stopped twice.
00:24:56 You have?
00:24:57 Yeah.
00:24:58 I ain't seen nobody.
00:24:59 You will. Well, if your phone gets raughty, I'll back you up.
00:25:01 You was dazzled.
00:25:02 I was what?
00:25:03 You was dazzled by headlights.
00:25:04 How I getcha.
00:25:05 Us drivers are gonna stick together.
00:25:07 Life's tough enough without losing your job over an accident.
00:25:09 Sure, well, I was dazzled by headlights, and if the phone cuts up rough, I'll let you know.
00:25:12 Yeah, OK.
00:25:13 Oh, uh, I'm Sid Parsons.
00:25:15 Driving for Knoll Brothers, Lancaster.
00:25:17 Thanks, Chuck.
00:25:18 OK, so long. Good luck.
00:25:19 So long.
00:25:20 [engine revving]
00:25:26 [engine revving]
00:25:28 How you feeling, Chuck?
00:25:50 Oh, it's... it's my head.
00:25:53 I thought you'd been in your... best-your-brains-out.
00:25:56 Can we get up out of the seat?
00:25:57 I think so.
00:25:58 Come on.
00:25:59 Thanks.
00:26:00 Where... where are we?
00:26:03 We've just come through a place called Midwell.
00:26:05 Oh, yes. I know.
00:26:07 How far is this cafe yours?
00:26:08 Oh, about... about ten miles.
00:26:11 Oh.
00:26:12 [groans]
00:26:13 You've done awfully bad to me.
00:26:15 Awesome.
00:26:16 Last all right, now you get to my place.
00:26:19 Oh.
00:26:20 I think I'd better get out to the next place and try and get you something.
00:26:23 [engine revving]
00:26:25 You sit tight. I won't be out for much.
00:26:36 Shorty!
00:26:45 Hello, Molly. What you doing up here?
00:26:47 I've been up in Manchester.
00:26:48 Didn't like it there, so I came back to town.
00:26:50 The old pallet?
00:26:51 Yes, the dance hostess.
00:26:52 But... but what about you?
00:26:53 You're driving a lorry now. I thought you'd been away.
00:26:55 Well, you see, Molly, I've turned it in now, and I'm going straight, see,
00:26:57 and I've changed my moniker too.
00:26:59 You'll call me Bert, will you?
00:27:00 Oh, that's smashing, Shorty.
00:27:02 Well, I mean Bert.
00:27:03 How's Alice? Seen her lately?
00:27:05 No, not at the time, yes.
00:27:06 Funny how she was always saying how she wished you'd quit before...
00:27:08 well, before it was too late.
00:27:10 That's right. Oi!
00:27:11 Shh!
00:27:12 Yes, she was working with me at the old pallet.
00:27:14 Started just after you went away.
00:27:15 Did she?
00:27:16 We were together before I got that screwy idea about going to Manchester.
00:27:18 Sorry, Molly, but I got me mate been took bad up in the lorry.
00:27:20 See, and I've got to get on with it. Oi!
00:27:22 Someday you're going to get into trouble picking up these lorry girls.
00:27:24 What?
00:27:25 If you never take chances, you never get nowhere.
00:27:27 And this one's worth a bit of trouble.
00:27:29 Pretty odd, ain't she?
00:27:30 If you ain't careful, they'll be looking for you.
00:27:32 Like this broke down in London.
00:27:33 Who do you mean?
00:27:34 This Matthews fellow.
00:27:35 Oh, yes, I read about him.
00:27:37 Not me, boy.
00:27:38 I treat 'em rough, but not too rough.
00:27:40 Oi!
00:27:45 Cup of tea, champ?
00:27:46 No, Tar, me mate's just been took bad.
00:27:48 You haven't got anything, have you?
00:27:49 Got some aspirin.
00:27:50 OK, I'll do it.
00:27:51 How are you getting back to town?
00:27:52 I've been copying lips.
00:27:53 This is my chauffeur.
00:27:54 Come on, kid.
00:27:55 Let's have a walk.
00:27:56 OK.
00:27:57 How much is it?
00:27:58 Twenty.
00:27:59 Well, goodbye, I bet.
00:28:01 Cheerio, all the best.
00:28:02 So long.
00:28:03 Who's your friend?
00:28:06 Just a bloke I used to know in London.
00:28:08 Come on, up here.
00:28:10 So long, sir.
00:28:12 So long, Molly.
00:28:13 Here, here, wait a minute.
00:28:27 London's the other way, isn't it?
00:28:29 You'll get to London all right, sweetheart.
00:28:31 Don't you worry.
00:28:32 There's a place up here I want to stop at first.
00:28:34 If you're thinking of starting anything, you're barmy.
00:28:36 You've got to be nice to a fellow, ain't you?
00:28:38 As long as you're nice to me.
00:28:40 Feeling better?
00:28:49 Yes, Franks.
00:28:50 You know, you're taking a lot of trouble for me,
00:28:52 considering the fix you're in.
00:28:53 Oh, forget it.
00:28:54 What are you going to do?
00:28:55 I'm going to top you off with your wife's cap
00:28:57 and then go off on my own.
00:28:58 Oh.
00:28:59 I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:00 I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:01 I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:02 I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:03 I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:04 I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:05 I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:06 I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:07 I'll be back in a minute.

00:29:20 I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:21 I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:22 I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:23 I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:24 I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:25 You've got nothing to worry about, sweetheart.
00:29:26 Now don't you come any capers with me.
00:29:27 Give us a little kiss, won't you?
00:29:28 Here, you let go of me.
00:29:29 Come on, give us a kiss.
00:29:30 Let go of me.
00:29:31 Come here, you little...
00:29:32 Let go!
00:29:33 Let go!
00:29:34 Let go!

00:29:48 Let go!
00:29:49 Let go!
00:29:50 What's that?
00:29:51 Wait.
00:29:53 Wait.
00:29:54 Help!
00:29:59 Help me!
00:30:00 Help!
00:30:01 Help!
00:30:02 Help!
00:30:03 Shorty!
00:30:04 You get inside that lorry, go on!
00:30:06 You keep out of this, if you touch her I'll kill you!
00:30:08 Shorty!
00:30:09 Shorty?
00:30:10 Shorty Matthews!
00:30:11 You're the guy the cops are looking for for killing my Jane!
00:30:14 Shorty!
00:30:15 Shorty!
00:30:18 Shorty!
00:30:19 Come on, get in quick!
00:30:32 Shorty, is it true what he said?
00:30:33 Come on, get in quick!
00:30:34 Tell me, what happened?
00:30:35 I want to know!
00:30:36 I'll tell you later.
00:30:37 I want to know now!
00:30:38 My...
00:30:39 It was...
00:30:40 It was Alice.
00:30:41 What?
00:30:42 Some bloke done her in, you see, and they think it was me, but...
00:30:45 But it wasn't, so help me, it wasn't...
00:30:47 It wasn't me.
00:30:48 I tell you, I didn't do it, Molly.
00:30:50 She was dead when I found her, see?
00:30:52 And I lost me head and I ran away.
00:30:54 I lost me head, I tell you.
00:30:55 Get away from me!
00:30:56 I didn't do it, I tell you, Molly.
00:30:58 Come on, in quick.
00:30:59 Come on, get in quick.
00:31:00 No, please!
00:31:01 OK, listen, mate, go on.
00:31:03 Not in here!
00:31:04 It's alright, she's a pal of mine, I'll tell you about it later.
00:31:06 Oh, but Shorty, I've got to go!
00:31:10 You shut up and listen to me!
00:31:11 Not in here, Jim, what is all this?
00:31:13 (car engine)
00:31:16 (triumphant music)
00:31:20 (car door closes)
00:31:24 Evening.
00:31:29 Good evening.
00:31:30 Seen anyone in a Macintosh, a grey suit, about 5 foot 7?
00:31:33 You mean the Shorty Matthews?
00:31:34 That's the one.
00:31:35 No, I haven't seen nobody but a couple of lorry drivers.
00:31:37 One of them's a bloke I know, the other one was a stranger.
00:31:39 Oh?
00:31:40 Look at me.
00:31:41 He was about that size.
00:31:42 Oh, but he had on a lorry driver's cap.
00:31:44 Which way did he go?
00:31:45 I don't know.
00:31:46 How long ago was this?
00:31:47 About half an hour.
00:31:48 He was in a hurry, too.
00:31:49 Looks all unnerved.
00:31:50 At a guess, I'd say he was heading north.
00:31:52 See what kind of lorry he was driving?
00:31:53 No.
00:31:54 Do you think he was really in?
00:31:55 We'll let you know when we have a look at him.
00:31:56 Good night.
00:31:57 Thanks.
00:31:58 (car engine)
00:32:02 Here we are.
00:32:05 This is it.
00:32:06 OK, well, I'll just help you inside, then I'll breeze off.
00:32:10 You'd better come in for a minute.
00:32:11 Shorty, where are you going?
00:32:12 What's it got to do with you?
00:32:13 You don't believe me anyway.
00:32:14 Doesn't matter what I believe.
00:32:15 You helped me, didn't you?
00:32:16 You'd better come on in, champ.
00:32:17 We may be able to think of something.
00:32:18 (car engine)
00:32:21 Wait a minute.
00:32:28 Let's have a deco first.
00:32:29 OK, it's empty.
00:32:31 Come on.
00:32:32 (bells ringing)
00:32:40 Wally, what happened to the nurse?
00:32:41 It's all right, Doc said her accent caught a fork in me one.
00:32:43 Oh, do you think I'd better call the doctor?
00:32:44 No, no, don't be so daft.
00:32:45 I don't want to see a doctor.
00:32:46 Come on in the back room.
00:32:47 Well, I shall call the doctor if I think he is.
00:32:49 It's all right, I'll tell you.
00:32:50 Come on.
00:32:51 Now, what's the matter, Wally?
00:32:57 Oh, nothing.
00:32:58 This bloke helped me out and I wanted a bit of a chat, that's all.
00:33:01 Evening.
00:33:02 This is Miss, er...
00:33:03 Ani, evening.
00:33:04 Oh, look at your body.
00:33:05 Oh, it's all right, I'll tell you about it later.
00:33:07 Go and get us some tea, there's a dear.
00:33:08 Oh, all right.
00:33:09 All right.
00:33:10 Not again, chap.
00:33:13 You took a hell of a chance on your nurse.
00:33:15 If you're telling the truth, why don't you take another one and give yourself up?
00:33:18 Well, that's what I say.
00:33:19 If you didn't do it, why are you running away?
00:33:22 It's easy enough to talk like that when you haven't been in stir.
00:33:24 If you ain't got a record, I have.
00:33:26 Yes, but you shouldn't have run away.
00:33:27 Now, listen.
00:33:28 This chap, Alan, they just hanged for the same thing.
00:33:30 But I lost my head, that's all.
00:33:32 I couldn't help it, anybody would have.
00:33:33 Yes, I quite see that.
00:33:37 Now, Wally Mason, will you or will you not tell me what this is all about?
00:33:41 I'll be a sport now, give me five minutes and I'll tell you the whole story.
00:33:44 But don't worry, it ain't nothing to do with me.
00:33:46 Oh, all right.
00:33:48 Shorty, suppose I say I believe you.
00:33:56 Yes?
00:33:57 Where are you going to get running away like this?
00:33:58 But can't you see, if I manage to keep away for a bit, they might find the chap that really done it.
00:34:02 And I...
00:34:03 [Bell rings]
00:34:08 Evening.
00:34:10 Evening.
00:34:11 Evening of a stranger, a short man, grey suit, dark hair.
00:34:14 No, no I haven't.
00:34:16 You seem pretty nervous, something wrong here?
00:34:18 Oh, there's nothing wrong, everything's all right.
00:34:21 Well, if there's nothing wrong, you don't mind if we have a look around, do you?
00:34:23 Well, I...
00:34:24 Thank you, come on.
00:34:31 Hey!
00:34:32 Come on, you drive that way.
00:34:36 Now then, now then.
00:34:37 You take that side, I'll go up here.
00:34:42 [Music]
00:34:55 [Music]
00:35:10 [Music]
00:35:18 Take this way, you go down there.
00:35:20 One of them go here.
00:35:21 [Music]
00:35:37 [Music]
00:35:49 [Music]
00:35:55 [Music]
00:36:01 [Music]
00:36:09 [Music]
00:36:14 [Music]
00:36:19 Oh, that's all right, your husband's story sounds straight enough.
00:36:22 You better come along to the station and talk it over there.
00:36:24 You're wasting your time.
00:36:25 He picked me up on the road, I don't know anything about any murders.
00:36:28 Just come for the ride.
00:36:29 That's all right, I'll back you up, don't you worry.
00:36:31 Thank you.
00:36:32 I hope your head's better in the morning.
00:36:33 Good night.
00:36:34 I tell you, you're wasting your time.
00:36:37 Oh, come on.
00:36:38 Yeah, wait a minute.
00:36:42 Johnson, wait, take her along. Keep your eye on her.
00:36:48 [Music]
00:37:18 [Music]
00:37:35 Shorty, Shorty, what you doing?
00:37:36 Shut up, I know what I'm doing.
00:37:44 [Music]
00:37:51 Johnson, Johnson.
00:37:53 Carmen, please.
00:37:56 Shorty, you're crazy. They'll kill you for this.
00:38:01 Not if they don't catch me, they won't.
00:38:02 Oh, shorty.
00:38:03 You shut up.
00:38:04 You believe me, don't you Molly?
00:38:05 I suppose I do.
00:38:07 That's a good kid, I thought you would.
00:38:08 Well, you know what I felt about Alice, don't you?
00:38:10 I would never have done that to her.
00:38:11 I'll tell you what I'm going to do, see.
00:38:13 I'm going to drive this car on for a bit, then I'm going to ditch her, see.
00:38:15 And your story will be that I wouldn't stop to let you out, see.
00:38:18 But you're worse off than ever stealing a police car, you know.
00:38:20 I can't help that now.
00:38:21 Here's one.
00:38:25 I'm a police officer, the car's stolen, I must take yours.
00:38:32 Certainly, but I'm afraid I don't drive very well.
00:38:34 Oh, that's all right, I can drive.
00:38:35 Excellent, I'll move right over.
00:38:37 Now off this side, see, you can get in the back.
00:38:39 (car door slams)
00:38:40 (speaking in foreign language)
00:38:45 Well, this is where I scarf her.
00:38:56 Hello.
00:38:58 Shorty.
00:38:59 Yes.
00:39:00 I want to help you on this, I do, but I wish I could make you see there's only one right thing to do.
00:39:02 I've got to work this out for myself, kid.
00:39:04 Don't you worry about me, I'll be all right.
00:39:05 Hello.
00:39:06 Here.
00:39:08 Half a quid?
00:39:09 Yeah, but look here...
00:39:10 Oh, take it and shut up, I've got enough to get along on.
00:39:12 You're a great kid.
00:39:14 So long.
00:39:16 Oh, Shorty!
00:39:17 If you ever want me, remember I'll be at the Palais again.
00:39:19 Okay, well, I'll...
00:39:22 (car engine rumbles)
00:39:24 (wind howling)
00:39:25 (car engine rumbles)
00:39:47 (car engine rumbles)
00:39:48 Well, where is he?
00:39:55 I don't know.
00:39:56 Go on, scuttle around, boys.
00:39:57 Well, what's the matter?
00:39:58 Well, I'm frightened in a car with a murderer.
00:40:01 You put me here.
00:40:02 I'm sorry about that, but don't worry, we only want to ask you a few questions.
00:40:05 (dramatic music)
00:40:09 (dramatic music)
00:40:10 (car horn honks)
00:40:36 (crowd murmuring)
00:40:37 Hey, girls.
00:40:48 Hey, everyone.
00:40:49 Oh, hiya, girls.
00:40:50 Is Molly in yet?
00:40:51 No.
00:40:52 I can't wait to see her.
00:40:53 I can.
00:40:54 I expected you to say something like that.
00:40:55 Well, if you ask me, she's got a nerve coming back here at all.
00:40:58 Kedging rides from lorry drivers and chasing about with murderers.
00:41:01 It's the clown's wrong impression of all us girls.
00:41:03 (cheering)
00:41:05 Margie's jealous Molly got her picture in the paper.
00:41:07 Jealous?
00:41:08 She ought to have plenty of clients now.
00:41:10 I always think it gives a girl glamour.
00:41:11 I can get along without that kind of glamour.
00:41:13 Of course you can, darling.
00:41:14 You've got along so far without any at all, haven't you?
00:41:16 (laughing)
00:41:17 Molly!
00:41:19 How are you, darling?
00:41:20 Tell us what happened.
00:41:21 What did she say to you?
00:41:22 Well, give her a chance to get her breath.
00:41:24 Well, tell us what happened, Molly.
00:41:25 Well, there's nothing to tell, Dagson.
00:41:27 I just ran into Shorty by accident up there,
00:41:29 and when the police found out I got nothing to do with it,
00:41:30 they let me go, that's all.
00:41:31 But weren't you scared stiff being alone with a murderer?
00:41:33 What's that about Shorty Matthews to be scared or complaining?
00:41:36 (all talking at once)
00:41:37 Now listen, all of you.
00:41:38 Alice is my best friend, don't let's talk about it.
00:41:40 That's right.
00:41:41 Leave her alone, can't you?
00:41:42 (all talking at once)
00:41:43 Hello, Marge.
00:41:44 Hello.
00:41:45 Oh, what's the matter with you?
00:41:46 Oh, don't take any notice of her.
00:41:47 Snooty as usual, that's all.
00:41:49 Come along, girls.
00:41:50 It mustn't be late.
00:41:51 Make the place look alive.
00:41:52 (all talking at once)
00:41:53 Hello, Molly.
00:41:54 Hello, Pop.
00:41:55 Feeling all right, my dear?
00:41:56 Couldn't be better.
00:41:57 That's the girl.
00:41:58 You will be getting back into the swing of things in no time.
00:42:00 Of course she will.
00:42:01 It's sweet of you to take me back.
00:42:02 Oh, why shouldn't I?
00:42:03 You couldn't help what happened.
00:42:04 Well, thanks anyway.
00:42:05 All right, be as quick as you can, my dear, won't you?
00:42:07 (all talking at once)
00:42:08 (orchestral music playing)
00:42:26 Better to get you down, Ducks.
00:42:27 The girls know how you feel.
00:42:28 They'll soon stop talking about Alice.
00:42:30 Thanks, Pauline.
00:42:31 That's sweet of you.
00:42:32 You know, I'd never believe that little shorty Matthews
00:42:34 would do a thing like that.
00:42:35 I'm not so sure that he did do it.
00:42:36 What?
00:42:37 I say I'm not so sure that he did do it.
00:42:39 Are you free, miss?
00:42:40 (orchestral music playing)
00:43:08 (footsteps)
00:43:13 What are you doing in London?
00:43:14 I come back on my tracks.
00:43:15 Things was getting too hot for me up north,
00:43:17 so I copped a lorry coming down this way.
00:43:19 What do you want?
00:43:20 I'm on the ribs, Murray.
00:43:21 I've got to find a hideout.
00:43:22 You can't hide out here.
00:43:23 I don't mean that.
00:43:24 Any other boys about?
00:43:25 What if they are?
00:43:26 I won't bother, I'm honest.
00:43:27 All I want is a bit of dough, just enough to give me a break.
00:43:30 Okay.
00:43:31 How's the game on in the card room?
00:43:32 Not tough.
00:43:33 Tom about?
00:43:34 Paddy?
00:43:35 Yeah, the book there.
00:43:36 Not tough.
00:43:37 (footsteps)
00:43:49 Watch it, boys.
00:43:50 (footsteps)
00:43:56 What you looking at me like that for?
00:43:57 I didn't croak the kid, you know that.
00:43:59 We don't know a thing except what we read in the papers.
00:44:01 You believe me, Paddy, don't you?
00:44:03 Tom.
00:44:04 What do I know about it?
00:44:06 All I know is you're spoiling your game of poker.
00:44:08 You're in the wrong place if you think you're going to get any change out of ours.
00:44:11 Alice was a good king, Matthews.
00:44:13 I tell you, she was dead when I found her.
00:44:15 If you didn't do it, why did you run away?
00:44:16 Well, I got scared.
00:44:17 I knew they'd hang it on to me and...
00:44:19 (door opens)
00:44:21 The texts.
00:44:22 Two of them in the billiard room.
00:44:23 What?
00:44:24 Have they come for him?
00:44:25 What do you think?
00:44:26 Why the hell did you have to come here?
00:44:27 Boys, you wouldn't.
00:44:28 (footsteps)
00:44:29 You to bed, Tom.
00:44:31 I've got a camera.
00:44:32 I'm going up, Six.
00:44:33 I'll see you later.
00:44:34 That's all right.
00:44:35 I'm away.
00:44:36 You're away, aren't you?
00:44:37 What are you going to do, Tommy?
00:44:38 Evening, boys.
00:44:39 Oh, good evening, sir.
00:44:40 Lots of us here.
00:44:41 How's the missus?
00:44:42 That's right, boys, carry on.
00:44:43 We just called in to see everybody's happy.
00:44:45 They're as happy as a lot of blinking lights.
00:44:47 The fact is, we'd like to have a word with an old friend of yours, Tom.
00:44:49 Yes?
00:44:50 Who's that?
00:44:51 Reg Hammond.
00:44:52 Oh.
00:44:53 He been around lately?
00:44:54 Ain't seen him in a fortnight.
00:44:55 Tell him to give us a ring when you see him again, will you?
00:44:57 Sure.
00:44:58 Can he charge the car up to the yard?
00:44:59 Why not?
00:45:00 As long as he doesn't make it a trunk call.
00:45:02 What have you got, Tom?
00:45:03 Oh, that's too good for me.
00:45:04 Come on, let's--
00:45:05 You OK?
00:45:06 So long, boys.
00:45:07 So long, sir.
00:45:08 Mind up for the next one.
00:45:09 Don't forget, we don't want any missus.
00:45:10 [chatter]
00:45:11 Now get out and stay out, and round the back way.
00:45:16 But you boys do believe me, don't you?
00:45:18 I mean, you didn't turn me in.
00:45:19 Don't be a sap, Matthews.
00:45:20 You think we wanted to close the club because you're in here?
00:45:22 Go on, beat it.
00:45:23 Where can I go?
00:45:24 I haven't got any money, and--
00:45:25 Who cares about that anyway?
00:45:27 Here.
00:45:28 Get on your way, and don't come back.
00:45:30 [music playing]
00:45:32 You've got light on your feet.
00:45:51 Thanks.
00:45:52 You're a lucky kid, you know, getting a picture in the paper.
00:45:54 And my wife.
00:45:55 I mean, I haven't had a chance to dance with her the whole evening.
00:45:57 They've been through queuing up for you.
00:45:59 What's the hurry?
00:46:00 I'll be here tomorrow and every other night.
00:46:01 What say you and I go to some nice little place for a snack
00:46:03 after the session?
00:46:04 Thanks, but my father calls for me every night,
00:46:06 and he's very strict.
00:46:07 Oh, I've heard that one before.
00:46:09 Ticket?
00:46:13 Oh, thanks.
00:46:14 Good night.
00:46:15 [chatter]
00:46:17 [chatter]
00:46:18 Oh, look at her.
00:46:29 You know, with all the la-di-da, if she's not careful,
00:46:34 the same thing will happen to her, it'll happen to Alice.
00:46:36 I'm sorry, doc.
00:46:37 But Alice did take on a lot of dates, didn't she?
00:46:39 Yes, don't I know it.
00:46:40 Good night, girls.
00:46:41 Good night, Doc.
00:46:42 Good night.
00:46:43 Well, I must off along and get my bus.
00:46:45 Where do you live in there?
00:46:46 Same old dig.
00:46:47 Oh, well, I had to go somewhere where I'm good for a week's rent.
00:46:50 Well, good night.
00:46:51 See you tomorrow.
00:46:52 Good night, Pauline.
00:46:53 Short!
00:47:02 I had to come back.
00:47:03 They're still looking for me up north.
00:47:04 But they're bound to get you in that.
00:47:05 No, I'm better off down here.
00:47:06 Well, what are you going to do?
00:47:07 I don't know.
00:47:08 Well, perhaps some of my pals might help me,
00:47:09 but I was lucky the swans didn't turn me in.
00:47:10 Oh, Short.
00:47:11 Now, don't you start all that about giving yourself up,
00:47:12 because I'm not going to do it, see?
00:47:13 Listen, kid, you believe me, don't you?
00:47:15 Well, you said you did.
00:47:16 Yes, I do, Shorty.
00:47:17 Well, Molly, I don't want to drag you into this,
00:47:19 but you're the only pal I got, see?
00:47:21 Will you help me?
00:47:22 Well, what can I do?
00:47:23 Well, I got an idea.
00:47:24 First of all, I've got to find an empty loft somewhere
00:47:26 where I can hide out, see?
00:47:27 Perhaps an old house.
00:47:28 You don't know many, do you?
00:47:29 No, I don't, Shorty.
00:47:30 I've got to find some stuff, some grub and all.
00:47:33 Wait a minute.
00:47:34 I believe there is an old house.
00:47:35 All boarded up quite near my dig.
00:47:36 Oh, that sounds a ticky.
00:47:37 Well, come on.
00:47:38 I'll take you there.
00:47:39 OK.
00:47:40 You go on first, will you?
00:47:41 They might pick me up, and I don't want
00:47:42 to get you into trouble again.
00:47:43 All right.
00:47:44 You're a funny guy.
00:47:48 Do you want me to eat?
00:47:50 No, but I'll be all right once I get a hideout.
00:47:52 You go on.
00:47:53 All right.
00:47:54 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:48:14 Yes, ma'am?
00:48:15 Four ham sandwiches and a piece of cake.
00:48:17 Take away?
00:48:18 That's right.
00:48:19 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:48:28 Thank you, ma'am.
00:48:29 Thank you.
00:48:30 Good night.
00:48:31 Good night.
00:48:32 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:48:51 This is it.
00:48:52 Looks all right.
00:48:53 Oh, and I've got these for you.
00:48:55 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:48:58 I'll take a few of these.
00:48:59 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:49:03 Looks if nobody's left here for years.
00:49:05 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:49:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:49:23 [SNORING]
00:49:26 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:49:37 How are you going to get in?
00:49:38 Don't be silly.
00:49:39 You watch me.
00:49:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:49:57 Oh, isn't that spooky?
00:49:59 Don't worry me.
00:50:00 As long as the spooks ain't cops.
00:50:02 You go barmy staying in here all the time.
00:50:04 Yeah, but me?
00:50:07 You come on after me, will you?
00:50:13 This is how I figure it out, see?
00:50:16 This bloke that done Alice in, well,
00:50:18 he didn't drop down from heaven, did he?
00:50:20 I mean, he must have come from somewhere, wasn't he?
00:50:22 Well, where do you figure out he come from, eh?
00:50:24 I don't know.
00:50:25 Well, the ballet, of course.
00:50:27 He's one of the blokes that Alice danced with at the ballet.
00:50:30 It might have been.
00:50:31 Yeah.
00:50:32 Well, if you could keep your eyes open.
00:50:34 I mean, if you wouldn't mind doing it for me.
00:50:37 Well, we might get a line on him, see?
00:50:40 It's all right.
00:50:41 It's only one of them looking glasses.
00:50:43 You mean it might have been someone
00:50:45 that danced with her a lot?
00:50:46 That's right.
00:50:47 Well, maybe Pauline could help.
00:50:48 She knows a lot of Alice's regulars.
00:50:50 Well, will you see what you can find out?
00:50:51 Yes, of course I will.
00:50:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:50:56 Molly, when I get out of this saloon,
00:50:58 I'll make it up to you, honest.
00:50:59 I will.
00:51:00 It's all right, Shorty.
00:51:01 After all, you risked your neck for me, didn't you?
00:51:03 It's only right I should do the same for you.
00:51:05 You know, take the test.
00:51:07 Well, I've got to go now.
00:51:12 All right.
00:51:13 I'll come back tomorrow night and bring you some more grub.
00:51:15 OK, I can do with that.
00:51:16 Wait a minute.
00:51:17 It's all right.
00:51:21 Is there anything else you want?
00:51:23 No, darling.
00:51:24 Oh, well, if you could lay hold of the razor.
00:51:26 Oh, all right.
00:51:27 Good night.
00:51:28 Good night.
00:51:29 Molly.
00:51:30 Yes?
00:51:31 I wish I could tell you.
00:51:32 Oh, forget it.
00:51:33 Yeah, you haven't got any of these, have you?
00:51:36 No.
00:51:37 Good night.
00:51:38 Good night.

00:54:22 Take it.
00:54:31 Thanks very much.
00:54:32 I'm sure.
00:54:33 Any luck?
00:54:36 Oh, no.
00:54:37 He'd run to his mother if he'd as much as kids to go.
00:54:39 He used to dance with Alice a lot.
00:54:41 Oh, he said.
00:54:42 Now, they all look the same to me.
00:54:44 Dumb, but harmless.
00:54:45 Molly, you're not a detective.
00:54:46 If there's anything in this idea of yours,
00:54:48 why don't you go to the police and let them work it out?
00:54:50 Because they wouldn't listen to me.
00:54:51 They're certain that Shorty did it.
00:54:54 What beats me is how you can be so certain he didn't.
00:54:57 But I've told you, Pauline.
00:54:58 If you would have heard him that night on the road,
00:55:00 you'd have believed him, too.
00:55:01 [SCOFFS]
00:55:02 Did you say something to him?
00:55:03 Not a word, darling.
00:55:04 She keeps forgetting to blow her nose, dearie.
00:55:07 Look, that one coming towards us now.
00:55:09 He used to dance with Alice a lot.
00:55:11 Shall we have this dance?
00:55:16 Right, please.
00:55:17 Sorry.
00:55:18 I've got a nail or something in my shoe.
00:55:20 My friend, Miss O'Neil, would be glad to dance with you,
00:55:22 I'm sure.
00:55:23 Sorry to me?
00:55:24 O'Neil?
00:55:25 Oh, the girl Matthew's kidnapped, ain't you?
00:55:27 Yes.
00:55:28 If Pop gets wind of what you two are up to,
00:55:30 he'll soon put a stop to this detective work.
00:55:32 Oh?
00:55:33 Yes, and it's not good for business.
00:55:34 If he gets wind of it, I'll soon put a stop to you.
00:55:36 Oh, you will, will you?
00:55:37 Say.
00:55:38 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:55:41 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:55:44 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:55:47 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:55:50 Good evening, my dear.
00:56:15 Oh, Mr. Cooper, good evening.
00:56:16 Am I fortunate enough to find you disengaged?
00:56:18 I was just sitting this one out.
00:56:19 Oh, too bad.
00:56:20 I was hoping that you'd do me the honor.
00:56:22 Oh, I feel quite rested now.
00:56:24 I'd like to dance.
00:56:25 Thank you, my dear.
00:56:26 Did you know Alice?
00:56:27 Sure, I used to dance with her.
00:56:29 I thought I'd seen you with her.
00:56:31 She was a nice little kid, could dance well, too.
00:56:33 I wish I could lay my hands on that little crook Matthews.
00:56:35 My dear, your dancing is as perfect as your appearance.
00:56:38 Oh, Mr. Hoover, it's such a treat to dance with a real gentleman.
00:56:41 I mean, a gentleman a girl can rarely talk with.
00:56:44 Tell me, didn't I see you out with Alice
00:56:47 one night after the session?
00:56:48 Me?
00:56:49 Yes.
00:56:50 Not me.
00:56:51 Must have been some other bloke.
00:56:52 I just used to dance with her.
00:56:53 Ah.
00:56:54 Isn't that Miss O'Neil, the young lady whose
00:56:56 picture I saw in the papers?
00:56:57 Yes, that's her.
00:56:58 Stupid little fool.
00:56:59 Indeed.
00:57:00 Why do you say that?
00:57:01 Oh, because she is.
00:57:02 She's made all us girls look cheap, chasing about
00:57:04 like one of those lorry girls.
00:57:06 And now she's trying to prove that shorty Matthews
00:57:08 didn't kill Alice.
00:57:09 Indeed.
00:57:10 Interesting.
00:57:11 And how does our charming young detective propose to accomplish that?
00:57:14 Oh, she thinks it was someone Alice met here.
00:57:16 So she's dancing with all Alice's old clans,
00:57:18 offing them if they did it, I suppose.
00:57:20 Then she's quite convinced of Matthew's innocence, is she?
00:57:23 She is crackless.
00:57:24 He told her he didn't do it, and she believes.
00:57:26 Would it surprise you very much if I told you
00:57:28 that it's quite possible that Matthews did not do it?
00:57:30 Why, Mr. Hoover, I wouldn't have expected
00:57:32 an educated gentleman like you to say such a thing.
00:57:34 Perhaps it's just because I've had the advantage
00:57:36 of being educated.
00:57:37 I'm not sure I'm educated.
00:57:39 I've had the advantage of being educated, as you call it.
00:57:42 But I hold an unorthodox view.
00:57:44 Why, Mr. Hoover, I'm surprised at you.
00:57:47 Oh, Molly, here's a gentleman you ought to meet.
00:57:57 You've both got a lot in common.
00:57:59 I do, do.
00:58:00 Allow me to introduce myself.
00:58:01 My name is Hoover, Walter Hoover.
00:58:04 How do you do?
00:58:05 Ever did march me.
00:58:06 I think she was referring to your belief
00:58:08 that Matthews did not murder Miss Carson.
00:58:11 What's that to you?
00:58:12 Anyway, how do you know what I think?
00:58:14 Miss Marjorie told me.
00:58:15 Well, of all--
00:58:16 Oh, don't be concerned, my dear.
00:58:18 I share your belief to a great extent.
00:58:20 You do?
00:58:21 Do you know something about it?
00:58:22 Nothing, except what a lifetime of speculation
00:58:25 on the mysteries of the human mind can teach me.
00:58:28 Oh, I see.
00:58:29 Well, if you'll excuse me--
00:58:31 But I'll say this, Miss O'Neil.
00:58:32 My knowledge of psychology makes it seem likely
00:58:35 that no simple criminal like Matthews did it.
00:58:39 It would be the work of a much more highly organized individual.
00:58:44 Yes, I suppose so.
00:58:46 Well, if you'll excuse me, good night.
00:58:50 Good night.
00:58:53 Who was that old fogie?
00:58:54 He used to be a schoolmaster.
00:58:55 Well, he's barmy.
00:58:56 I beg your pardon.
00:58:57 And I'll thank you to start meddling in my business.
00:58:59 If I want anyone to tell what I'm doing,
00:59:01 I'll take care of it myself.
00:59:03 I'm not taking any orders from you, Miss O'Neil,
00:59:05 you with your cocks and murders.
00:59:07 Thank you, Your Majesty, sir.
00:59:32 Thank you, sir.
00:59:33 Good luck to you, Mr. Governor.
00:59:34 Good luck.
00:59:35 Thank you.
00:59:36 Ah, good evening, Mr. Hoover.
00:59:38 Good evening.
00:59:39 Good evening, everybody.
00:59:40 I'm in the chair.
00:59:41 What's yours?
00:59:42 Well, I'll have a ginger brandy.
00:59:44 Ginger brandy.
00:59:46 And how's the professor of Psy, uh-- Psy, uh--
00:59:49 The word that escapes you, Mr. Peebles, is psychology.
00:59:52 Yes, of course.
00:59:54 Yes.
00:59:55 It shouldn't have escaped me, should it?
00:59:56 We've heard it pretty often in here, haven't we, in all?
00:59:59 Not often enough, it seems.
01:00:01 No.
01:00:02 Now, Mr. Peebles, you know it's a rare treat, the way Mr. Hoover talks.
01:00:05 Yes, indeed.
01:00:06 It's seldom enough we meet an educated gentleman like Mr. Hoover.
01:00:09 To you, Mr. Peebles.
01:00:11 And to you, ladies.
01:00:13 I don't deserve your flattery.
01:00:15 Any news today, Mr. Hoover?
01:00:19 News?
01:00:21 On what subject?
01:00:22 Well, you've only been talking on one subject lately, haven't you?
01:00:25 Come now, Mr. Smith.
01:00:26 Surely you don't hold it against me
01:00:28 that I've become engrossed in the most interesting problem
01:00:31 of abnormal criminal psychology.
01:00:33 Oh, listen to the words come out.
01:00:36 I mean, if I can see anything so interesting in it.
01:00:38 Happens every day of the year.
01:00:40 I tell you, Mr. Smith.
01:00:42 Miss James, I see empty glasses about.
01:00:44 Ask the ladies and gentlemen what they'll have.
01:00:46 Oh, thank you very much, Miss--
01:00:48 Same again.
01:00:49 Dear Mr. Smith, I'm afraid you only take a superficial view.
01:00:52 Do I?
01:00:53 Yes.
01:00:54 You see, to a student in these matters,
01:00:56 the impulse that dictates the action
01:00:58 and the sense of power that comes from the evasion of the consequences
01:01:01 makes each instance unique.
01:01:03 Even though you may say,
01:01:05 "Tout ça change, tout c'est la même chose."
01:01:07 Mercy.
01:01:08 He's a mouthful.
01:01:09 Good afternoon, Mr. Hoover.
01:01:10 All the best.
01:01:11 Well, um,
01:01:12 San Ferrian, Mr. Hoover,
01:01:14 and may your days be as long as your words.
01:01:17 Would you mind repeating that in English?
01:01:19 Certainly.
01:01:21 The man who killed that girl
01:01:23 enjoyed for a moment the sensation of power
01:01:26 over life and death.
01:01:28 Now he has the sense of power that comes from
01:01:30 knowing something
01:01:32 that nobody else in the world knows.
01:01:35 You do give things a queer twist.
01:01:38 Meaning you still think Matthews didn't do it.
01:01:41 I'm more convinced than ever.
01:01:43 This evening--
01:01:44 - Found something out, Mr. Hoover? - Do tell us.
01:01:46 You don't mean to say that you got information.
01:01:49 Of course not.
01:01:50 I have no means of getting information.
01:01:52 The police have that.
01:01:54 I merely think and observe.
01:01:56 Oh, nonsense.
01:01:57 Do you mean to stand there and say that--
01:01:59 Mr. Smith, no arguments here, if you please.
01:02:01 Miss James, never discourage a skeptic.
01:02:04 Doubt is the stimulator of conversation.
01:02:08 It may amuse you all to know that I have come to
01:02:10 a not uninteresting conclusion.
01:02:12 - Yes. - He had something up his sleeve.
01:02:14 But are you going to tell us?
01:02:15 We can hardly wait.
01:02:18 The unfortunate Matthews is in London.
01:02:20 Really? Have they caught him?
01:02:22 No, they haven't caught him.
01:02:24 The police don't even know that he is in London.
01:02:26 Then how do you know?
01:02:27 By the elementary deduction that a criminal
01:02:30 always returns to the scene of his crime.
01:02:33 Is that all you've got to go by?
01:02:35 That and a look of fear in a pair of lovely eyes.
01:02:40 An expression of anxiety on a pretty face.
01:02:43 And there is Uncle Tom Cobb with his whiskers.
01:02:47 Mr. Peebles, I envy you the possession of such a sense of humor.
01:02:51 I would like to be able to stay longer to enjoy more fully
01:02:54 the rapier play of your wit.
01:02:56 But alas, I have an appointment.
01:02:59 Good night.
01:03:01 Au revoir, ladies.
01:03:02 Good night.
01:03:04 And give our laughter and beautiful eyes.
01:03:07 Good night.
01:03:10 Crackers.
01:03:11 Crackers?
01:03:12 The best free show in London.
01:03:14 That's what he is.
01:03:16 I'm hungry.
01:03:36 Let's get something to eat before we go home.
01:03:38 Thanks, Pauline. I'm too tired.
01:03:39 I think I'll go home if you don't mind.
01:03:40 All right.
01:03:41 What have you got there?
01:03:42 Nothing. Just a pair of old shoes I'm taking to be resold.
01:03:45 Sure you won't come?
01:03:46 No, thanks. I'm too tired, honestly.
01:03:48 Thanks for helping me tonight, though.
01:03:50 We didn't get very far, did we?
01:03:51 No, it's all pretty hopeless.
01:03:53 Molly, what's bothering you?
01:03:55 I mean, it's something more than just thinking Shorty didn't do it, isn't it?
01:03:58 No, no, I'm just tired, that's all.
01:04:00 Good night, dear.
01:04:01 Good night.
01:04:02 [car engine]
01:04:06 [car engine]
01:04:10 [car engine]
01:04:13 [snoring]
01:04:38 Shorty!
01:04:39 Shorty!
01:04:41 Shorty!
01:04:45 Molly.
01:05:00 [knocking]
01:05:03 Molly.
01:05:12 It's all right, Shorty.
01:05:21 I guess I must be getting soft.
01:05:26 I got your thing, but I brought you some candles.
01:05:29 I got the rose.
01:05:30 Oh, no, not by the window.
01:05:35 OK, you'd better be careful.
01:05:37 Sit down, will you?
01:05:44 Did you ask Pauline about the blokes that Alice danced with?
01:05:48 Yes, I even danced with some of them myself.
01:05:50 Well?
01:05:51 Shorty, I don't think this is going to be any use.
01:05:54 Even if I had the luck to dance with the one that did it, I couldn't tell.
01:05:58 Oh, I tried asking questions and all that, but I'm just no good at it.
01:06:02 It's all right, Molly, don't you worry about it.
01:06:07 Just an idea of mine, that's all.
01:06:09 What are you going to do?
01:06:10 Molly.
01:06:17 I calmed down this morning, and I got to thinking what a wild goose sort of chase I've been sending you on, see?
01:06:23 And I started using my loaf.
01:06:25 Molly, I...
01:06:27 I don't care about nobody else besides you, and I don't want to go on like this with you, thinking I ain't doing the right thing, see?
01:06:32 Shorty.
01:06:33 Yes, I'm going to do like you said. I'm going to give myself up.
01:06:36 It's you what made me do it, Molly. It's...
01:06:39 It's for you.
01:06:42 Oh, Shorty, I'm glad that you can't do it.
01:06:52 I don't want you to now.
01:06:55 I'm glad you said that, kid, because it means you feel the same way I do.
01:06:59 I know I do.
01:07:00 That's why I got to go on with it.
01:07:02 I got to run my chances, so when it's all over, I can get a job and go straight.
01:07:07 Molly.
01:07:09 If everything was all right, would you marry me?
01:07:15 Yes.
01:07:16 Yes.
01:07:17 He was at the palette tonight.
01:07:41 The palette?
01:07:42 Yes, he was dancing with Marge. He talked about you.
01:07:44 He ain't a cop, is he?
01:07:45 No, he used to be a schoolmaster. I thought he was...
01:07:47 It's all right.
01:07:54 I'd better get him inside. Come on.
01:07:59 Come on. What are you doing here?
01:08:08 Indulging in the somewhat informal nature of our introduction, I might ask you that question.
01:08:14 Come off it. If you don't speak up, I'll give you another taste of this.
01:08:16 Oh, my friend, I've had enough. Besides, you've nothing to fear.
01:08:20 You haven't a better friend in the world than me.
01:08:23 What's he talking about?
01:08:25 Search me. It's the way he was talking at the palette tonight.
01:08:27 You might add, Miss O'Neil, that I told you that I was convinced of Matthew's innocence.
01:08:32 What?
01:08:35 That's right. He said that, too. He made a regular speech about it.
01:08:38 I thought he was nuts.
01:08:40 How did you get here?
01:08:43 I took the liberty of following Miss O'Neil.
01:08:45 What for?
01:08:46 To confirm certain suspicions that I had formed.
01:08:49 What sort of...
01:08:50 You see, I am a student of abnormal and criminal psychology.
01:08:54 What's that got to do with me?
01:08:57 Everything.
01:08:58 My insight into the, shall we say, crepuscular recesses of the human mind,
01:09:04 have convinced me that you are not the man who killed Alice Carson.
01:09:08 What?
01:09:09 What?
01:09:10 Is that so?
01:09:15 Then who done it, then?
01:09:18 Now, my dear fellow, you're confusing my function with that of a common detective.
01:09:23 Well, if you ain't a tech, then what you so interested for?
01:09:26 That's what I'd like to know.
01:09:27 I think I told you. I'm a student of the vagaries of the human mind.
01:09:32 Oh, such a pretty cat.
01:09:34 My subtle one.
01:09:36 Oh, my puss cat.
01:09:38 She's got some kittens over there, too.
01:09:40 No, has she? May I see the kittens?
01:09:42 Yes, go on. They're over in that corner.
01:09:44 Help yourself.
01:09:47 He done it.
01:09:55 What?
01:09:56 Lovely, aren't they?
01:10:01 Yeah.
01:10:07 What's your name?
01:10:09 Hoover.
01:10:10 Walter Hoover.
01:10:11 Why did you kill Alice?
01:10:16 Alice?
01:10:19 That's what I said.
01:10:20 My dear Matthews.
01:10:22 What makes you so certain, Shorty Dent?
01:10:24 You're being very ingenuous, Matthews.
01:10:27 Different though we are, we have one thing in common.
01:10:31 Neither of us killed Alice.
01:10:34 Then who did?
01:10:35 Well, if we knew that, we wouldn't be here, would we?
01:10:38 Well, I mustn't impose any further on your hospitality.
01:10:41 Where are you off to?
01:10:43 Home, of course.
01:10:44 Oh, no, you ain't. You're going to stop right here.
01:10:46 I'm not going to take any chances of you going to the cops.
01:10:48 My dear Mr. Matthews, I believe in your innocence.
01:10:51 Well, that's fine.
01:10:52 And we'll stay here until they find out who done it, shall we?
01:10:54 In that case, I shall consider myself your guest.
01:10:57 That's fine.
01:10:58 And thank you for your hospitality.
01:11:01 But, uh, why shouldn't we reverse the role?
01:11:04 Reverse the what?
01:11:05 I have quite a pleasant little flat.
01:11:07 If we are to wait till the murderers caught, we should be much more comfortable there.
01:11:11 You mean I can stop at your place?
01:11:16 Certainly.
01:11:17 It's such a nice home for you, my pretty.
01:11:20 The invitation, of course, includes Miss O'Neil.
01:11:23 No, you'd better get in the loft.
01:11:24 But why? I shall be delighted to show her my little home.
01:11:28 Oh. Okay.
01:11:31 Well, shall we be going?
01:11:33 Look here.
01:11:34 In case you get careless, no funny business.
01:11:37 See?
01:11:38 I wish you'd cease mistrusting me.
01:11:39 I am determined to prove your innocence.
01:11:42 Miss O'Neil, will you bring the kittens?
01:11:45 Thank you, sir.
01:12:02 You go in first.
01:12:03 Oh, yes.
01:12:04 No, but I insist.
01:12:05 No, you go in first, go on.
01:12:06 I think we'll put the kittens in my bedroom.
01:12:18 There, my pretties.
01:12:28 A nice, comfortable bed for you all to yourselves.
01:12:32 And now we'll get to the saucer of milk, shall we?
01:12:35 Matthews, you can leave your coat here, if you like.
01:12:40 Oh, thanks.
01:12:41 Miss O'Neil, if you wish to tidy up, you'll find everything you want in there.
01:12:46 Thanks.
01:12:48 Come upstairs, Matthews. Perhaps you'd like a drink.
01:12:52 Oh, thanks, sir.
01:12:53 Never mind.
01:12:54 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:13:22 Now you make yourself at home, Matthews, while I look after our guests.
01:13:25 Guests?
01:13:26 The little ones downstairs, you know.
01:13:28 Oh.
01:13:29 Matthews, I hope I shan't have to tell you again that you have nothing to fear from me.
01:13:50 Nothing.
01:13:51 And I appeal to you in the secret name of hospitality to look upon me as your host and friend.
01:13:57 All right.
01:14:03 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:14:07 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:14:11 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:14:14 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:14:18 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:14:21 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:14:24 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:14:27 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:14:30 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:14:33 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:14:36 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:14:39 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:14:42 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:14:45 [The milk is poured into a jug.]
01:14:48 Go on back downstairs. Go on.
01:15:01 Interested in books, Matthews?
01:15:09 Miss Druva.
01:15:13 I'd like to talk to you.
01:15:15 Of course. Well?
01:15:18 When we was down at the old house, did you hear what I was saying to Molly?
01:15:22 I admit I did hear some of it, my boy.
01:15:25 Well, it goes, see? I'm going to do like I said.
01:15:28 You won't have to keep me here after all.
01:15:30 What do you mean?
01:15:31 I'm going to give myself up.
01:15:32 What?
01:15:33 I don't want to spend the rest of my life dodging the cops.
01:15:36 Better take a chance now than later.
01:15:38 That's utter nonsense.
01:15:39 No, it isn't.
01:15:40 A chap like you, you ought to understand, reading all them books,
01:15:43 you know how a fella feels.
01:15:45 If I don't give myself up, well, they'll never look for the chap that really done it.
01:15:48 They'll go on looking for me.
01:15:49 No, it's just the other way about.
01:15:50 If you give yourself up now, they'll be only too happy to put the blame on you.
01:15:54 All the law wants is a scapegoat.
01:15:56 I'm not so sure, Miss Druva.
01:15:58 When you come to think of it, how often does an innocent fella get topped?
01:16:01 You may not think much of the cops, you know, but they're a pretty smart lot.
01:16:04 And the more I think about it, the more I feel that the guy that really done this won't stand a chance
01:16:09 if I don't tell what I know.
01:16:10 You can't do that.
01:16:11 I won't allow you to do that.
01:16:12 What are you so worried about?
01:16:13 Well, I'm worried on your account, naturally, knowing you to be innocent as I do.
01:16:19 Oh, I thought perhaps you were worried in case I still thought you'd done it.
01:16:24 Well, I did at first, see, but I understand now.
01:16:27 You just like studying these things, don't you?
01:16:28 Precisely.
01:16:29 That's why you must listen to me.
01:16:31 Now, it's too late.
01:16:32 I want to get on with it.
01:16:33 Matthews, I have a confession to make.
01:16:34 Yes?
01:16:35 I've been keeping something from you.
01:16:36 Yes?
01:16:37 I know the identity of the murderer.
01:16:39 Yeah?
01:16:40 Well, who is it?
01:16:42 I can't furnish proof yet, but if you wait here while I go down and look after our little guests,
01:16:49 I will tell you.
01:16:51 Against my better judgment, I will tell you.
01:16:58 [music]
01:17:21 Miss Honeywell.
01:17:23 Where's Shorty?
01:17:24 He's upstairs.
01:17:26 He'll be down in a moment.
01:17:28 He's going to have a bath and a shave.
01:17:31 Come and help me feed the kittens.
01:17:34 [music]
01:17:51 There you are, you little imps.
01:17:53 [music]
01:18:00 They look so helpless now.
01:18:02 You'd hardly think their time will come to play with mice.
01:18:07 [music]
01:18:12 Don't scream, you fool.
01:18:13 The police will come and Matthews will hang.
01:18:15 [music]
01:18:23 [screams]
01:18:27 [music]
01:18:56 [screams]
01:18:57 [music]
01:19:00 Honey.
01:19:01 Honey.
