Well, we finished earlier tonight
than I expected.

Yes.

- You going anywhere?
- I don't think so.

So the next time,
I changed to another tailor

but found out
that he was no better than the first.

I bought some pretty expensive cloth
and took it to him,

and you should've seen the mess
he made of it.

I told him I wouldn't pay for the thing,

but the trouble is, he's got my material.

Well, I left the suit with him,
and it's been there ever since.

Bill. Edgar.

I'll take my tie back.

Hello, Sid.

- You ready to go now?
- Righto.

Good evening, Miss White. How are you?

- I'm all right, thanks.
- I haven't seen you for a long time.

- Have you come to take Frank for a walk?
- Yes.

That's right.

Well, I must push along.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Good night, Frank.

Well, dear.

I've been waiting here
half an hour for you.

- Good night, Charles.
- Good night, Frank.

Good night, George.

Ballroom upstairs, ballroom upstairs.

Sorry, sir. Full up.
We have more room upstairs.

Go on.

I think I told you
there's more room upstairs!

Sorry, sir. Full up here.
More room up-- Hey!

Hello, Ned! How are you?

Have you met the wife? Have you? No?

Frank, I've lost one of my gloves.

I think I left it at the other table.

Is this it? Yes, thanks.

Thought so.

There's a hole in two fingers.

Would you like a pair of nail scissors
for Christmas?

Funny, aren't you?

Oh, miss! Miss!

It's no good being impatient.

You'll have to wait your turn.

What's the matter with you today?

Got out of bed the wrong side?

I don't like waiting about for you.

Oh, don't you?

Oh, miss.

Do you expect the entire machinery
of Scotland Yard

to be held up to please you?

You and your Scotland Yard.

If it weren't for Edgar Wallace,
nobody'd ever heard of it.

Oh, funny, aren't you?

Anyway, what's the hurry?
We're only going to the pictures.

We've got all evening.

Well...

I don't think I want
to go to the pictures.

Oh, and why not?

I've seen everything worth seeing.

You haven't seen Fingerprints.
I'd like to see that.

Yeah. Still, it's about Scotland Yard.

It might be amusing. They're bound
to get all the details wrong.

I don't see why.

I did hear
they'd got a real criminal to direct it.

So as to be on the safe side.

Oh, oh, miss! Miss!

Oh, blast.

Well, I've ordered.

I'll go to the pictures with you
if you like.

Ah, changed your mind.

Have you got an ashtray, miss?

I never seem to get an ashtray
where I sit.

Frank. Frank.

I've changed my mind again.

What about?

About going to the pictures.

You mean you don't want to go again?

No, not particularly.

And why not?

I don't know. I just don't want to.

- Isn't that enough?
- No, it's not enough.

Hey, miss!

- What are you going to do?
- I'm going to get the bill.

I'm about fed up with you.

If you don't want to go, I do.

Oh, all right. I'll come too.

Hey, miss!

Oh, don't let's have a row.

I'm sorry.

I know I've been rather beastly today.

Miss!

Frank, I've said I'm sorry.

Here, that will cover it.

Hold on. I live here.

Do you?

Then you needn't come any further.

Oh, no. Now, I said
I'd see you home, and I will.

But I'm only just 'round the corner.

- Do you know White's? The newsagent?
- Yes.

- In the King's Road?
- Yes.

- That's my father.
- No!

Yes!

Now isn't that fine? Then we're neighbors.

Have you ever seen an artist's studio?

No. I'd love to.

Come up and see mine.

Oh, I can't now.

- Another time.
- Why not now?

Why, it's so late.

Are you frightened?

No, of course not.

Then why not now?

No, really. Thanks awfully.
I must be getting home.

You are frightened.

I'm certainly not.

Take more than a man to frighten me.

Yeah.

That's what I thought... at first.

What is the time?

Not very late. Come on.

What's the harm?

Oh, there's no harm, really.

Besides, I always think a girl knows
instinctively when she can trust a man.

Yes, of course she does.

Do you trust me?

Alice?

May I call you Alice?

- If you like.
- Come on.

Oh, Mr. Crewe. Before you go in, could I?

Excuse me a minute.

- Can I speak to you?
- No.

No!

That chap's nothing but a sponger.

Always pestering people
up and down this street.

Well, here we are.

I'm right up there. Top.

Excuse me a minute, will you?

I say, I'm awfully sorry.
I won't be a minute.

You start walking up.

That's all right.

Oh, good evening. Sorry to disturb you.

About this note, did he leave any message?

No, he wouldn't leave any message.

- Have you seen him before?
- Yes.

The same gent what called here
several times.

I see. Thanks very much. Good night.

Bit of a climb, wasn't it?

What a lovely room.

Did you do it all yourself?

Hardly.

I say, do you feel cold?
I think I'll light the fire.

I say, that's good, isn't it?

Oh, that? Yes, that's a new one.
Just finished.

Oh.

- How do you hold this?
- What?

Oh.

That's easy. I'll show you.

Oh, Lord, not like that.

Let me show you.

You take this and hold it like that,
you see?

Then you get the brush and hold it there.

You try.

Simple.

Yes.

- Like this?
- Yes.

Ooh.

- Look what I've done.
- Ooh, yes.

Draw something, Alice.

Shall I? Yes.

- Ooh!
- Oh!

Ah!

Rotten.

Never mind.
We'll finish this masterpiece together.

That's the idea. Now, you hold the brush.

I'll hold your hand. Steady.

On the neck and the arm, here.

Not too thick, darling. Now the arm.

Along by the...

The leg, foot. Along here.

And...

The knee. Right.

There we are.

Again. That's the ankle.

Now... there...

There. There.

Ooh.

You are awful.

Wait a minute.

- There.
- Hooray!

All ready for the academy.

I'll go and get those drinks.

Right you are.

I say, how would I do
for one of your models?

That's an idea.

Let's see it on you.

- Do you mean put it on?
- Yes.

Why not?

Oh, it's so strong.

Go on.

Oh, no, I don't think so.

Besides, I have to go home soon.

I see.

Pity.
I'd liked to have sketched you in it.

- Would you have really?
- Yes.

But perhaps you're right.
It wouldn't suit you.

I bet it would.

Shall I really try it on?

Yes, will you?

- All right.
- Good.

Do you think
this will be big enough for me?

What?

I said, do you think
this will be big enough for me?

Oh, yes, I expect so.

Go on, play something.

Wait a minute. How does that thing go?

I know.

Marvelous.

- I can't do it up.
- Wait a minute.

Where is this trouble?

I can't do it all up.

Never mind.

- How do I look?
- Well...

Now, wait a minute. It isn't quite right.

That's there.

No, that's right there.

Put your hands there.

That's right.

Yeah.

Ooh.

I better go.

I say...

Oh.

I've got it.

- Please give it to me.
- All right, come around. Come on.

- Get it.
- Please, please.

Come on, Alice.

There it is.

Don't be silly, Alice. Don't be silly.

No! Let me go! Let me go!

Let me go! Oh, oh!

Oh! Oh! No, don't!

Let me go! Oh, oh!

No! No!

Let me go. Oh!

- Who did you say it was?
- Mr. Crewe!

- Mr. who?
- No! Crewe, I tell you! It's 'orrible!

All right. Don't you worry.
I'll send 'round straightaway.

What number did you say? Seven or 11?

- Thirty-one.
- Thirty-one?

- What?
- Thirty-one, I said.

No, no. Thirty-one.

Oh, yes. Yes.

- Yes.
- Five separate wounds, eh?

- Jugular vein has been slashed.
- Oh, good.

Just take a look around, will you?

Right you are, sir.

You don't believe he put it on?

No. Eight to ten minutes.

- Long as that, eh?
- Yes. He was beaten.

Oh? A strong fellow. About six feet, eh?

Put up a good fight?

Yes, yes. There's been a fight, all right.

Know anything about him?

Oh, he's an artist. We know that.

Don't know much about him yet.

- Just find out more later on.
- Yes.

About the inquest. You'll want
to have the body removed later on.

Well, can't do anything else.

What time would you like the inquest?

Tomorrow afternoon.

Afternoon, about three o'clock?

Yes, that will suit me very well indeed.

All right, that'll do.

- You can't do any more.
- No.

Oh, we're going to take him away then.

Is anything known of him otherwise?

Not much at present. We may find something

when we make a thorough
search of the place and find some papers.

What's this mark here?

- A scratch.
- A scratch I should think, yes.

Well, he would of course
lose strength rapidly.

Alice, wake up.

Anyone'd think you hadn't been asleep
all night.

What do you think?

There's been a murder last night
'round the corner.

And they tell me the police
are 'round there now.

We'll all be murdered in our beds soon,
I'm sure we will.

'Cause I don't think
the police are what they were.

Morning, Alice. Heard about the murder?

Yes, I heard.

Do you remember
Frank's telephone number, Dad?

No. Oh, here, you'll find it in the book.

I mean, some murders
are so different to others, aren't they?

Pushed his lady friends under the water
when they was having a bath.

What was his name? You remember.

I think that was ever so beastly.

Fair gave me the shivers.

After I read about it,
I didn't dare have a bath for a month.

And for weeks after that,
I only used to have a rinse down.

What was his name? You remember.

Smith, wasn't it?

What's wrong, Alice?

You don't look very cheerful this morning.

You do look a bit peaky, I must say.

Dad, Alice, breakfast.

- Good morning, Mr. White.
- Good morning, sir. Good morning.

Breakfast?

I couldn't look bacon in the face
after what happened last night.

And under our very noses.

Mind you, I don't think myself
it's altogether the police's fault.

What I mean is
they have to wink at some things.

I mean it's one thing
to buy chocolates out of hours,

but it's quite another
to stick a knife into a gentleman.

I must say,
I feel the same way about that too.

A good, clean, honest whack over the head
with a brick is one thing.

There's something British about that.

But knives?

No. Knives is not right.

I must say that's what I think,
and that's what I feel.

Whatever the provocation,
I could never use a knife.

Now, mind you,
a knife is a difficult thing to handle.

I mean, any knife.

I mean, if you used a pen knife
or a pocket knife.

They wouldn't be long enough.
Or a butcher's knife.

Alice, cut us a bit of bread, will you?

What's that other knife?

I know that knife.

A knife is a dangerous thing.
You must be careful of a knife.

You come up against a knife.

I mean, in Chelsea,
you mustn't use a knife!

Dear, you ought to be more careful.

Might have cut somebody with that.

Customer.

No news of the murder yet?

No, not yet.

Thank you. Good morning.

Well, I must be going.

I can't stand here
gossiping all day like some people.

Chatter, chatter, chatter.

Give 'em a chance to talk about other
people's business, and they'll take it.

What's the matter, Alice?

Had another row with Frank?

Another customer, Alice.

Morning, Alice.

Here's Frank. Hello, Frank.

I say, have you heard about our murder?

Yes, they put me on it.

Have they? That's good, isn't it?

Well, I hope you get him, Frank.

If they do,
that'll mean promotion, won't it?

Do you reckon you'll get him soon?

Well, uh, I don't know.

- Well, I came in here to phone.
- That's all right.

Alice? Here a minute, will you?

Well, I must be going now.
Good-bye, Mrs. White.

Good morning.

Now, you two...

Shh. Be careful.

What happened last night?

Why don't you tell me?

Look.

You know where I found that?

It's the only piece of evidence
that you were there.

I'll be keeping it back at present.

For God's sake, say something!

If you're not using the phone, uh, may I?

I, uh, I want to get on to Scotland Yard.

I say.

I want the best cigar in the shop.

Certainly, sir.

Perhaps you'd like to telephone
while I get it down?

Hmm?

Oh, no, thanks. That can wait.

What does he mean?

Very well, sir. Now, uh,
what sort of a cigar would you like, sir?

I've got--

I've got Henry Clay or a Corona.

- Corona?
- Corona.

Certainly, sir.

Any news of the murder?

No, nothing yet.

Have you heard anything?

No, no news.

Are you, uh...

quite sure?

What the hell business is it of yours,
anyway?

You know, I looked everywhere

for that other glove last night.

But, of course, you detectives are
better trained at finding these things.

Ah, here we are, sir.

Excuse me, will you?

Thank you.

Well, they look good.

They ought to. I've had 'em for years.

Hmm.

Is it all right, sir?

Yes, I thought the top was broken,
but it's all right.

Excuse me.

Ah.

- Have you a light?
- Yes, here you are.

Oh.

How silly of me. Hadn't noticed it.

Ah.

Uh, all right, sir?

Hmm? Oh, of course.

Sorry.

Very extraordinary, actually.

I can't--

Wait... or could I?

I say, would you pay for this?

Is this gentleman a friend of yours,
Frank?

Well, we're not exactly friends.

At least not yet.

But we're going to do
a little business together.

Aren't we, Frank?

I'll look after the shop, Father.

- You go and finish your paper.
- What for?

Oh. All right, my dear. All right.

Rather unfortunate that poor man died
'round the corner last night.

Look here, you--

But perhaps it's rather fortunate

that your little secret
only came into the hands of a man like me.

Do you know, there are some men

who would make money
out of a thing like that?

What a chance for blackmail.

Oh. Oh, but that's awful.

I couldn't do a thing like that.

Morning, miss. Two of each there.

By the way, you're a detective.
Let me give you a tip.

Don't wave important clues
in telephone boxes.

They've got glass doors.

You know, uh...

detectives in glass houses
shouldn't wave clues.

Look here--

Small Gold Flake, please.

Thank you.

Come on, out with it. What do you want?

What do I want?

Oh, well, uh...

Couldn't we discuss that over breakfast?

Mother, this is a friend of Frank's.

- Mister, uh--
- Tracy.

Pleased to meet you.

Mr. Tracy,
would you like something to eat?

Thank you.

Lovely weather we're having.

Oh, yes, splendid.

Who did you say that man was?

He's a very important friend of Frank's.

I'll get the breakfast for him.

Here. I'm very rude.

- Won't you take my chair?
- Oh, thanks.

Uh--

Oh.

Did you see or hear anything
during the night?

No, sir.

- What time did you go to bed?
- About half past 10:00, sir.

Did you write this?

Yes.

How old would you say this man was?

I'm afraid I couldn't tell you, sir.
He had his hat on.

Did you notice anything particular
about his clothes?

- Well... he had a black hat.
- Mm-hmm.

- And a loose kind of collar.
- Uh-huh.

- And a tie.
- Mm-hmm.

And that's about all, I think.

Was he dark or fair?

Well, you couldn't say he was a blond

and you couldn't say he was a brunette.

He was a bit of both.
You know, kind of mousey.

- Anything else?
- No.

Except when he spoke to you,
he went like this--

All right.

Give me Records.

Well, bring him along.
Let's hear what he's got to say.

- Understood?
- Yes, sir.

Right, get along with it.

That'll do to go on with.

How much longer is that man going to stay?

Don't tell me he'll be here to dinner?

Don't make things awkward, Mother.

It means a lot to me and Frank.

Well, I don't see why they should
carry on their business in my parlor.

- I'll take it.
- Very well.

But I don't like that man,
and the sooner he goes, the better.

Shh!

You are very clever.
I can see that, all right.

Frank? Just a minute, will you?

A pal of yours at the Yard
said he thought you might be here.

Oh, all right.

Hello?

Yeah. Yes.

Well, I thought you wouldn't mind if--

What?

Who?

Any news, Frank?

Alice, lock that door.

As you were saying,

rather unfortunate the way
that poor man 'round the corner,

uh, died last night.

On the other hand,
perhaps it's fortunate--

for us, that is--

that a suspicious-looking man
with a criminal record

was seen hanging around the place.

You--

Look here,
don't you try and swing this thing on me.

That won't get you anywhere.

Also rather unfortunate

that Scotland Yard are at present
looking for that man.

I say, Frank!

Just a minute, Alice.

But there's one thing
you seem to have forgotten.

Oh?

And what's that?

Before we get to any hanging,

I shall have quite a lot to say.

And the first thing I shall say is
that she was there too.

Oh, you will, will you?

Isn't there one thing
you seem to have forgotten?

That our word's as good as--
or perhaps a bit better--

than that of a jailbird.

So, we'll face that when the time comes.

Meanwhile, we'll just sit quietly here

until the squad van arrives.

That surprises you, doesn't it?

No, it doesn't surprise me in the least.

When it comes...
the surprise won't be for me.

Very well then, we're both satisfied.

Yes, we're both satisfied.

It's my word against hers.

Frank, you-- You can't do this.

Why not?

Well, because--

Now, now, don't interfere, Alice.
I know what I'm doing.

You don't. You don't.

- Please, Frank.
- Oh, for God's sake, be quiet, Alice.

Why can't you let her speak?

You mind your own business.

In any case,
she'll speak at the right moment.

Look here, Frank.

Why can't we both of us
chuck the whole thing now?

I've got nothing against you.
You've got nothing against me.

Yes, of course, I--
I had some cash from you, but--

I wasn't serious.

Well, look here. Have it back now.

Hmm. Well, can't you see
that she wants to chuck it up too?

And so do I now.

Oh, look here, miss. You tell him.

Tell him that he's playing with fire,
and--

and we shall all of us burn our fingers.

Oh, I-- I'm not bad, really. I--

Only...
things have gone wrong lately, and--

One's got to live, you know.

Hmm.

All right then.

It's still my word against hers.

That's it?

Thank you very much.

Oi!

You men meet me around the back.
Frank, follow me!

Frank, don't do this!

Let's go!

I saw him go this way!
I'll follow him down this way!

You go 'round that way.
Go 'round the back way.

I say, it's not me you want.
It's him. Ask him!

Why, his own--

Hello.

Not very often I see you
so early in the day as this.

Called to see Frank?

No.

I want to see Inspector Walls, please.

Oh.

Then you'll have to fill out
one of these forms, you know.

All right.

Do you know something about this?

Yes.

George, just a minute.

- Take this along to Inspector Walls.
- Right you are.

Well, I suppose you're gonna tell him
who did it, miss.

Yes.

You can come along now.

Here you are, miss.

Come in, please.

Won't you sit down?

You've something to tell us
about this case?

Yes.

Well, what is it?

Uh, you see... I know who did it.

Is this worthwhile, sir,
now that everything's been cleared up?

Yes, let's hear what she's got to say.

What I was going to say is this.

I'd better say what I have to say now.

I'd rather not wait.

What I wanted to say is that--

- I was the one--
- One moment, please.

Hello. Yes. Yes.

Yes, hold on.
You deal with this young lady.

I shall be busy for a minute.

Yes, sir.

- This way miss, please.
- Is he there now?

Send him in at--

Alice, whatever made you come here?

I did it.

- I know.
- You don't know.

He tried-- Oh, I can't tell you.

It's too terrible.

I was defending myself.

I didn't know what I was doing,
and then...

My dear.

So you found him, miss.

Did she tell you who did it?

Yes.

You'll want to look out,
or you'll be losing your job, my boy.

I say, I suppose we should soon have lady
detectives up in the Yard, eh?

But I shall be all right on the dole,
won't I?
