Man, inside:
...AND FANTASY

IS THE MOST UNPRODUCTIVE
FORM OF MORALIZING.

SHAME ON YOU,
MICHAELIS.

ACTION CAN ONLY BE
THE RESULT OF...

HOW CAN YOU DENY DISCUSSION
OF THE FUTURE, WHICH IS...

Michaelis:
I WILL DENY ANYTHING!

...ONE OF THE MOST
POWERFUL MEANS

TO AROUSE THE EMOTION
OF THE MASSES.

Michaelis: I WILL DENY
ANYTHING WHICH MAKES USE OF

BLATANT OVERSIMPLIFICATION.
TRUTH IS COMPLEX.

ONCE YOU TAKE AWAY
ITS CHARACTER OF COMPLEXITY,

YOU DESTROY IT.

AND WHEN TRUTH IS DESTROYED,
YOU'RE BUILDING ON SAND.

WHAT DID YOU MEAN WHEN
YOU SAY "THE TRUTH"?

Michaelis: HAVE YOU
STILL NOT UNDERSTOOD?

BUT LET ME TELL YOU THIS,

THEY DO NOT MAKE HISTORY
IN THEIR HEADS.

IDEAS HAVE NO PART
IN THE MARCH OF EVENTS.

CERTAINLY
NOT YOUR IDEAS.

Michaelis: I BELIEVE
I HAVE HAD MORE LEISURE

TO THINK MATTERS THROUGH
THAN ANYONE HERE.

OH, YES?

YES. SOCIETY HAS GIVEN ME PLENTY
OF TIME FOR MEDITATION:

15 YEARS IN A DARK,
DAMP UNDERGROUND CELL.

OH, YES.
PLENTY OF TIME TO...

Woman: I STILL
CAN'T UNDERSTAND

WHAT IT IS WE'VE
DONE WRONG, MOTHER.

OH, NOW, IT'S NOTHING
LIKE THAT, DEAR, REALLY.

WEREN'T YOU COMFORTABLE
ENOUGH HERE?

WAS THAT IT?

I'VE PURPOSELY
LEFT YOU

MY FEW BITS OF
GOOD FURNITURE.

I DON'T SEE THE USE

OF LEAVING IT
TILL I'M DEAD.

STEVIE?

YES, WINNIE?

YOU GO AND DO SOME
OF YOUR DRAWING.

I'LL FETCH YOU WHEN IT'S TIME
TO BRING THE LUGGAGE DOWN.

ALL RIGHT, WINNIE.

Man, inside: ...OUR FAILURE
TO RELEASE OUR COMRADES.

THE JUDGE WAS KIND ENOUGH
TO EXPLAIN THAT...

Winnie: WHAT DID YOU WANT TO SAY
THAT FOR IN FRONT OF HIM?

YOU KNOW HOW UPSET HE GETS
IF ANYONE TALKS ABOUT DYING.

OH, I'M SORRY, WINNIE.

I WASN'T THINKING.

I'M ALL OF A FLUSTER.
IS THE CABBIE HERE YET?

Winnie: YEAH, HE'S HERE.

Mother: OH, LOOK.
I'M NOT HALF READY.

NOW HAVE I GOT
EVERYTHING?

HAVE YOU LOOKED IN
THE DRAWERS, WINNIE?

Michaelis:
...THE RADICAL CHANGE

WE'RE ALL OF US
WORKING TOWARDS.

THE REVOLUTION
CANNOT BE PROVOKED.

IT MUST ARISE SPONTANEOUSLY
BY THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE

AT THE MOMENT WHEN
IT BECOMES CLEAR TO THEM

THAT CAPITALISM
IS READY TO COLLAPSE

UNDER THE WEIGHT OF
ITS OWN CONTRADICTIONS.

HAVE YOU STILL NOT
UNDERSTOOD, MICHAELIS,

THAT YOUR DAMN PESSIMISM
IS A WAY OF LYING DOWN,

ALLOWING THE OPPRESSOR
TO MARCH ALL OVER YOU?

Michaelis: OH, PESSIMISM.

IF I WERE A PESSIMIST,

DON'T YOU SUPPOSE THAT
SOMETIME IN THOSE 15 YEARS

I WOULD HAVE FOUND
A WAY TO CUT MY THROAT?

I COULD HAVE BEATEN
MY HEAD IN

AGAINST THE WALLS
OF MY CELL.

NO, I'M NOT ADVISING
RESIGNATION OR INDIFFERENCE.

I AM COUNSELING
PATIENCE.

PATIENCE? ANOTHER WORD
FOR DOING NOTHING.

YOU ARE SAYING THAT
ALL ACTION IS USELESS.

Bearded man:
LESS THAN THAT.

YOU'RE OFFERING
ENCOURAGEMENT

TO THOSE
ECONOMIC CANNIBALS

WHO DRINK THE BLOOD

AND FEED ON THE FLESH
OF THE PEOPLE.

HEAR, HEAR.

Michaelis: NO, NO, NO.

PATIENCE IS NOT SUBMISSION.

IT'S A STATE OF MIND
IN WHICH TO COMPLETE

THE NECESSARY PREPARATIONS
FOR THE FUTURE.

IF I COULD FIND
3 MEN--

3--CAPABLE OF HAVING

NO FEELING FOR
ANYTHING ON EARTH,

INCLUDING THEMSELVES,

THEN I COULD MAKE

THE NECESSARY
PREPARATIONS
FOR THE FUTURE.

YOU CANNOT FORCE WHAT MUST
HAPPEN OF ITS OWN ACCORD.

Michaelis: BEFORE LONG,
THE PROPERTY OWNERS

WILL BEGIN TO FIGHT
AMONG THEMSELVES.

Yundt: AND
IN THE MEANTIME,

THEY HOLD THEIR
BRANDING IRONS

AGAINST THE SKIN
OF THE PEOPLE,

AND WE MUST HEAR IT
SIZZLE

AND MAKE NO RESPONSE,

EXCEPT FOR YOUR
DAMNED PATIENCE,

TO THE SMELL
OF BURNING!

[ANGUISHED CRY]

[SOBBING]

STEVIE!
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

[SOBBING]

BR-BRANDING IRONS
MUST HURT.

WINNIE, THINK HOW
THEY MUST HURT.

NEVER MIND THAT,
THE CAB'S HERE.

HELP MOTHER DOWN
WITH HER LUGGAGE.

IT'S GOT TO BE STOPPED
WINNIE!

IT'S GOT TO BE STOPPED!

Winnie: COME ON,

DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT IT.

MR. VERLOC WILL STOP IT.

WE'RE TRYING TO CONDUCT
A MEETING DOWN HERE.

STOP THAT FUSS!
STOP IT!

SHH.
[SOBBING]

I'M--I'M SORRY,
MR. VERLOC.

WE'RE JUST LEAVING.

COME ON.

AHEM, I'M--I'M SORRY,
GENTLEMEN. THIS, UH...

WE'LL TAKE
A SHORT PAUSE.

MY MOTHER-IN-LAW IS
MOVING OUT THIS EVENING.

IT'S VERY GOOD,
THIS.

ABSOLUTELY
TYPICAL.

WHAT'S VERY GOOD?

EXACTLY WHAT
YOU WOULD EXPECT

FROM A DEGENERATE.

[QUIETLY]
I WOULDN'T LET MY WIFE

HEAR YOU CALL HIM THAT,
IF I WAS YOU.

SHE'S VERY FOND
OF HER BROTHER.

IT'S A PURELY
SCIENTIFIC TERM.

YEAH.

THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH,
MR. VERLOC.

I'M SORRY TO HAVE
DISTURBED YOU.

PLEASE ALLOW ME,
MRS. VERLOC.

MR. MICHAELIS.

MRS. VERLOC.

I--I CAN MANAGE,
MR. OSSIPON.

PLEASE CALL ME TOM.

I THOUGHT YOUR NAME
WAS ALEXANDER.

IT IS. BUT ALL
MY MOST SPECIAL FRIENDS

CALL ME TOM.

LISTEN TO ME,
LISTEN.

YOU CAN COME BACK
ANYTIME YOU WISH.

OH, MR. VERLOC,
YOU'RE SO KIND.

LISTEN, DO ME A FAVOR,
WILL YA, YOUNG FELLA?

LOAD THE BAGS FOR ME.

NOT SUPPOSED TO DO
NO LIFTING.

WELL, GO ON, THEN.

[CRYING]

IS HE ALL RIGHT,
YOUR BROTHER?

HE'S A LITTLE UPSET
TODAY.

OH, UPSET.

I'M EVER SO
GRATEFUL,

MR.VERLOC.

NO, NO, NOT AT ALL.

TELL HER, ADOLF.
NOBODY WANTED HER TO GO.

WHAT? OH, NO, NO,
NO, NO, OF COURSE NOT.

THANK YOU.

I WON'T BE LONG.

I'LL GET RID OF THEM
AS SOON AS I CAN.

SAFE JOURNEY.

COME ON,

LET'S GET BACK
TO THE MEETING.

NO.
EH?

DON'T WHIP.

HUH?

YOU MUSTN'T WHIP.
IT HURTS.

MUSTN'T WHIP, EH?

GID-UP!

[WHINNIES]

GID-UP!

HYAH!

[MOTHER SOBBING]

THIS IS ALL YOUR IDEA,
MOTHER,

SO I DON'T KNOW WHY
YOU'RE CARRYING ON.

I CAN'T HELP IT, LOVE.
I'M SORRY.

YOU HAVEN'T
QUARRELED

WITH MR. VERLOC,
HAVE YOU?

NO, NO, OF COURSE NOT.

MR. VERLOC'S ALWAYS BEEN
THE SOUL OF GENEROSITY.

THEN WHATEVER IS IT
DECIDED YOU TO LEAVE US?

I NEVER COULD GET USED
TO THAT SHOP.

I HAD TO KEEP MY EYES SHUT

EVERY TIME I PASSED THROUGH.

IT WASN'T EXACTLY
THE SORT OF PLACE

YOU COULD ASK PEOPLE BACK TO
FOR A CUP OF TEA, IS IT?

IT'S A STEADY BUSINESS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOUR DAD WOULD HAVE SAID.

DAD WAS A BRUTE.

WINNIE!
WELL, HE WAS.

HE USED TO TAKE IT OUT
ON STEVIE

SOMETHING TERRIBLE.

STEVIE WAS
A DISAPPOINTMENT TO HIM.

HE COULDN'T GET
USED TO THE IDEA

OF HAVING A BOY
WHO WAS A BIT, WELL,

NOT QUITE RIGHT
IN THE HEAD.

Winnie: WELL, TAKING
HIS BELT OFF TO HIM

WASN'T GONNA MAKE HIM
ANY CLEVERER, WAS IT?

HUP!

[WHIP CRACKS]

[WHIP CRACKS]

AAH!
OH, LORD! NOW WHAT?

IS THE BOY HURT?
IS HE HURT?

IT'S ALL RIGHT,
WINNIE.

YOU GET BACK UP
THIS MINUTE!

NO, NO. IT'S ALL RIGHT,
WINNIE. IT'S ALL RIGHT.

NO, I'LL--I'LL WALK,
I'LL RUN AFTER.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

IT'S TOO HEAVY, WINNIE,
FOR THE HORSE.

RUN AFTER A CAB? I'VE NEVER
HEARD OF SUCH A THING.

Mother:
DON'T YOU LET HIM, WINNIE,

HE'LL GET LOST.

I'LL TELL MR. VERLOC,
STEVIE.

HE'LL BE EVER SO UNHAPPY.

YOU BEEN DRINKING?

AND DON'T YOU GO
FOR TRYING THAT AGAIN.

[HORSE WHINNIES SHARPLY]

POOR HORSE!

NEVER MIND THE HORSE.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE
TO SIT UP HERE

AT 2:00
IN THE MORNING, EH?

SEE, I'M A NIGHT CABBY.

GOTTA TAKE WHAT THEY
BLOODY WELL GIVE ME.

PICKING UP ALL SORTS
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,

WIFE AND 4 KIDS TO KEEP,

IT'S A HARD WORLD.

IT'S BAD.
IT'S VERY BAD.

HARD ON HORSES,

AND A DAMN SIGHT HARDER
ON POOR BLEEDERS LIKE ME.

YOU CAN COME IN MY BED,
IF YOU LIKE.

AND YOUR HORSE, AS WELL.
I'LL ASK WINNIE.

I'M DOING THIS FOR STEVIE.

I WANTED TO BE SURE
THAT HE'D BE SAFE.

IT'S THE SAME REASON
THAT YOU MARRIED MR. VERLOC,

IF THE TRUTH BE KNOWN.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, DON'T TELL ME
YOU DIDN'T PREFER

THAT BUTCHER'S BOY,
WHAT WAS HIS NAME--RON?

NICE-LOOKING BOY,
HE LIKED TO LAUGH.

NO, YOU WANTED SOMEBODY
WHO'D TAKE CARE OF STEVIE.

MR. VERLOC'S
ALWAYS LIKED STEVIE.

YEAH, BUT HE CAN BE
A BIT OF A BURDEN AT TIMES,

AND NOW
I'M GETTING ON A BIT,

I WAS AFRAID I MIGHT BE,
AS WELL.

NO.

WELL, THE BEST OF MEN
CAN GET TIRED, DEAR.

I DIDN'T WANT HIM
TO GET TIRED OF STEVIE.

HE'D HAVE TO GET
TIRED OF ME FIRST.

YOU WILL COME
AND SEE ME,

WON'T YOU, WINNIE,
AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN?

OF COURSE,
I WILL.

I WANT TO SEE YOU
EVERY SUNDAY.

I'LL COME
WHEN I CAN MANAGE,

AND WHEN I CAN'T,
I'LL SEND YOU STEVIE.

NO! NO, DON'T LET HIM
COME ON HIS OWN.

YOU'VE GOTTA CHANGE BUSES.
HE'D GET LOST.

YOU LEAVE IT TO ME.
I'LL WORK OUT SOMETHING.

[THUNDER]

BETTER GO IN,
MOTHER.

YOU'LL CATCH COLD
OUT HERE.

AND YOU LOOK AFTER ME
ON THE WAY HOME.

HELP ME INTO THE BUS.

MUSTN'T BE NERVOUS,
WINNIE,

I'LL LOOK AFTER YOU.

IT'S A HARD WORLD,
WINNIE.

THAT'S TRUE ENOUGH.

IT'S HARD ON HORSES

AND FOR POOR PEOPLE.

NOBODY CAN DO ANYTHING
ABOUT THAT, STEVIE.

YES. POLICE!

[LAUGHS] THAT'S NOT WHAT
THE POLICE ARE THERE FOR.

THEN...

THEN WHAT--WHAT ARE
THEY THERE FOR, WINNIE?

THE POLICE ARE THERE
SO AS THEM AS HAVE NOTHING

CAN'T TAKE NOTHING AWAY
FROM THEM AS HAVE A LOT.

[CRYING]

OH.

THEN...

THEN, WHAT--
WHAT CAN THEY DO

IF THEY'RE POOR
AND HUNGRY?

MUSTN'T WORRY ABOUT IT,
STEVIE.

[CRYING]

THINGS DON'T STAND
MUCH LOOKIN' INTO.

LONG AS YOU AND ME
LOVE EACH OTHER, STEVIE.

THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING.

UM, AND MR. VERLOC,
DOES HE LOVE ME?

OF COURSE HE DOES,
STEVIE.

HE'S A GOOD MAN,
MR. VERLOC.

Cabby: COME ON,
GID-UP! GID-UP!

Winnie: TAKING'S
VERY SMALL TODAY.

[SIGHS]

THAT'S THE LEAST
OF MY WORRIES.

I'VE BEEN CALLED
TO A MEETING TOMORROW...

AT THE RUSSIAN EMBASSY.

IT CAN'T BE
ANYTHING GOOD.

COME TO BED.

HMM.

I THOUGHT I WAS NEVER GONNA
GET RID OF THEM TONIGHT,

ALL THOSE WRETCHES.

MR. MICHAELIS IS A NICE MAN.

HE CAN AFFORD TO BE.

NOW HE'S FOUND
THAT OLD DUCHESS

OR WHATEVER SHE IS
TO SUPPORT HIM...

AND OSSIPON?

AHH.
[CHUCKLES]

HE'LL WANT FOR NOTHING,

AS LONG AS THERE ARE
SILLY GIRLS IN THE WORLD

WITH SAVINGS BANK BOOKS.

THAT BOY ISN'T
FIT TO HEAR

WHAT'S SAID HERE.

HE DOESN'T KNOW
ANY BETTER.

THINKS IT'S ALL TRUE.

IT'S BAD ENOUGH I'M
HAVING TO GET USED TO

MOTHER BEING GONE.

WHAT'D SHE WANT TO GO
AND DO THAT FOR?

PERHAPS IT'S JUST AS WELL.

HE'S SUCH
A GOOD BOY.

I COULDN'T DO
WITHOUT HIM.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO?

OR SHALL
I PUT THE LIGHT OUT?

YEAH.

PUT THE LIGHT OUT.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

[WHINNIES]

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

[DOOR SLAMS]

Man: VOUS COMPRENEZ
LE FRANCAIS, JE SUPPOSE

OUI.J'AI FAIT MON SERVICE
MILITAIRE EN FRANCE.

AH, YES.
YOU STOLE US THE PLANS

OF THE BREECHBLOCK
OF THEIR FIELD GUN,

DID YOU NOT?

I DID.

HOW MUCH DID YOU GET
FOR THAT?

5 YEARS, HARD LABOR.

THAT'LL TEACH YOU
TO GET CAUGHT.

SIT DOWN.

NOW, YOU PURPORT TO BE
A DESPERATE SOCIALIST

OR ANARCHIST, AM I RIGHT?

ANARCHIST.

VERY CORPULENT
FOR AN ANARCHIST, AREN'T YOU?

WHAT'S THAT?

OVERWEIGHT ANARCHIST
SEEMS TO ME

TO BE SOMETHING OF
A CONTRADICTION IN TERMS.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU
BEEN DRAWING PAY

FROM THIS EMBASSY?

11 YEARS.

I'VE READ ALL THE REPORTS
YOU SENT US LAST YEAR,

AND I MUST SAY

I'M AT A LOSS TO UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU WROTE THEM AT ALL.

ONLY 3 MONTHS AGO,
I SENT YOU WARNING

OF A PLAN TO ASSASSINATE
THE GRAND DUKE

ON HIS VISIT TO PARIS.

THE FRENCH POLICE ASSURE US

YOUR INFORMATION WAS
EXAGGERATED AND INACCURATE.

AND DON'T SHOUT.

THE SECRET SERVICE
IS BY ITS NATURE

DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE.

BUT I CAN CERTAINLY TELL YOU
SOMETHING IT IS NOT.

IT IS NOT A PHILANTHROPIC
INSTITUTION.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
AGENT PROVOCATEUR.

I CANNOT THINK WHAT
YOU HAVE PROVOKED,

EXCEPT FOR MY
IRRITATION.

I BROUGHT YOU IN TO TELL YOU
THAT FROM NOW ON

I EXPECT YOU TO START
EARNING YOUR MONEY.

THE GOOD TIMES ARE OVER.

NO WORK, NO PAY.

YOU SUMMONED ME HERE

WITH A MOST PEREMPTORY
LETTER.

THIS IS ONLY THE THIRD TIME
I HAVE BEEN HERE IN 11 YEARS,

AND THE FIRST TIME
I'VE ARRIVED

THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR,
IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!

YOU SEEM TO HAVE NO REGARD
FOR MY SAFETY WHATSOEVER!

YOUR SAFETY
IS YOUR AFFAIR.

IF I WAS SEEN COMING HERE,

IT WOULD DESTROY
MY USEFULNESS.

IF YOU CEASE
TO BE USEFUL,

LET ME ASSURE YOU
OF THIS,

YOU SHALL BE CHUCKED.

I TAKE IT YOU KNOW ABOUT

THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
IN MILAN?

I READ THE NEWSPAPERS.

THEN YOU WILL HAVE OBSERVED
THAT THE DEBATE

ON THE SUPPRESSION
OF INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM

HAS BEEN ENTIRELY
INCONCLUSIVE.

THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT,
IN PARTICULAR,

IS RELUCTANT TO ABANDON

ITS ABSURD
AND SENTIMENTAL POLICY

OF OFFERING ASYLUM TO
SO-CALLED POLITICAL REFUGEES.

YOUR DAMN FRIENDS HAVE ONLY
TO FILL IN AN APPLICATION.

IT MEANS I CAN KEEP 'EM
ALL UNDER MY EYE.

MORE TO THE POINT,

I WANT THEM
UNDER LOCK AND KEY.

I WANT THEM
HANDED BACK TO US

SO THAT WE CAN DEAL
WITH THEM PROPERLY.

THE ABSENCE
OF A SYSTEM OF...

OF A RATIONAL REPRESSION
IN THIS COUNTRY

IS A SCANDAL.

I HAVE DECIDED

THAT THIS IS THE CORRECT
PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT

TO INSTIGATE
SUCH A REPRESSION.

THIS IS WHY
I HAVE SENT FOR YOU.

WHAT I WANT IS
A SERIES OF OUTRAGES,

NOT NECESSARILY
SANGUINARY--

I'M NOT A BUTCHER--

BUT STARTLING.

AN ATTACK, FOR EXAMPLE,
UPON THE FETISH OF THE HOUR.

NOW, WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE
THAT THAT MIGHT BE?

I DON'T KNOW.

THEN PAY ATTENTION.

I WILL TRY NOT TO TALK
ABOVE YOUR HEAD.

THE CLASS
WE ARE TRYING TO ATTACK

IS VERY DIFFICULT
TO SHOCK.

CONVENTIONAL
ASSASSINATION...

THEY TAKE
IN THEIR STRIDE.

A BOMB IN
THE NATIONAL GALLERY

WOULD CREATE
SOME EFFECT,

BUT PRINCIPALLY AMONG
ARTISTS AND ART CRITICS,

PEOPLE OF NO ACCOUNT.

NO, THE SACROSANCT
FETISH OF THE HOUR...

IS SCIENCE.

SCIENCE?

UNFORTUNATELY,
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE

TO THROW A BOMB
INTO PURE MATHEMATICS,

AND OF COURSE,

THE DETAILS OF THE ENTERPRISE
I LEAVE ENTIRELY TO YOU,

BUT I DO HAVE
A SUGGESTION.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT.

YES.

WHAT DO YOU SAY...

ABOUT HAVING A GO
AT ASTRONOMY?

ASTRONOMY?

EVERYONE HAS HEARD
OF GREENWICH,

EVEN THE BOOTBLACKS
IN CHARING CROSS STATION.

NOBODY ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS
WHAT IT IS,

THIS NEW
GREENWICH MEAN TIME,

BUT IT HAS
A MYSTICAL SIGNIFICANCE.

THE FIRST MERIDIAN.

AN ATTACK
UPON TIME ITSELF.

ENTIRELY GRATUITOUS
AND WONDERFULLY INEXPLICABLE.

IF THAT DOESN'T STIR
THE AUTHORITIES IN THIS COUNTRY

OUT OF THEIR
CRETINOUS TORPOR,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL.

IT'LL COST MONEY.

OH, NO.

THAT COCK WON'T FIGHT.

YOU'LL GET
YOUR USUAL SCREW,

AND IF SOMETHING DOESN'T
HAPPEN VERY SOON,

YOU WON'T EVEN GET THAT.

DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?

IS THAT ALL?

THE MILAN CONFERENCE
RECONVENES IN A MONTH.

UNLESS YOU PROVIDE US
BEFORE THAT TIME

WITH A DYNAMITE
OUTRAGE,

YOUR CONNECTION WITH US
IS AT AN END,

AND NOW, YOU MAY GO.

THE FIRST MERIDIAN,
MR. VERLOC.

GO FOR
THE FIRST MERIDIAN.

BAD DAY?

ATROCIOUS.

HE'D DO ANYTHING
FOR YOU, THAT BOY.

ADOLF.

[SIGHS]

WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING ABOUT?

EMIGRATING.

WHAT?

TO FRANCE...

OR CALIFORNIA.

I COULDN'T DO THAT.

YOU'D HAVE TO GO
BY YOURSELF.

AND YOU COULDN'T DO
WITHOUT ME.

COULD YOU?

NO.

I COULDN'T.

STEVIE?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

[FOOTSTEPS]

HE'S MOPING UP THERE
ON THE LANDING AGAIN.

[SIGHS] IT'S ALL ALONG
WITH MOTHER LEAVING.

HMM, I'M GOING OUT.

WHY DON'T YOU
TAKE HIM WITH YOU?

[WHISPERING]
I can't.

FRESH AIR WOULD
DO HIM GOOD.

GO GET YOUR COAT.

[WIND, LEAVES RUSTLING]

[DOG BARKS]

[KNOCKING]

I HAD A LETTER
FROM MICHAELIS TODAY.

Winnie: DID YOU?

HIS DUCHESS HAS
GIVEN HIM THE USE

OF A COUNTRY COTTAGE

TO FINISH HIS BOOK,
IF YOU PLEASE.

HE'S OFFERED
TO PUT UP STEVIE

FOR A FEW DAYS.

THAT'S NICE OF HIM.

BUT YOU COULDN'T
DO WITHOUT HIM,

COULD YOU?

[CHUCKLES]
OF COURSE I COULD.

IF IT WAS SOMEWHERE
HE WANTED TO GO,

WHY NOT?

I'LL TAKE HIM
DOWN THEN.

GOOD-BYE, DARLING.

I LOVE YOU, WIN.

OFF YOU GO.

[CHUCKLES]

LIKE FATHER AND SON.

[BELL JINGLES]

[PIANOLA PLAYING]

Ossipon: DO YOU
GIVE YOUR STUFF

TO ANYBODY
WHO WANTS IT?

Professor: I NEVER
REFUSE ANYONE.

I MAKE IT
AN ABSOLUTE RULE.

AS LONG AS I HAVE
A LITTLE PINCH LEFT

FOR MYSELF.

AND YOU THINK THIS IS
A SOUND PRINCIPLE?

PERFECTLY.

YOU MEAN YOU'D SELL
TO THE POLICE?

THEY LEAVE ME ALONE.

COULDN'T THEY ARREST YOU
IF THEY WANTED TO?

WHAT FOR?

WHAT FOR?

DEALING IN EXPLOSIVES
WITHOUT A LICENSE.

WELL, IT'S VERY WELL
KNOWN TO THE POLICE

THAT I NEVER PART
WITH THE FINAL HANDFUL

OF MY WARES.

I CARRY IT
RIGHT HERE,

NEXT TO MY HEART.

WHAT IF 6 POLICEMEN
JUMP ON YOU

IN THE STREET?

IN MY LEFT POCKET,

I CARRY AN INDIA
RUBBER BULB.

I ALWAYS WALK
WITH MY HAND

CLOSED AROUND IT.

IF I SQUEEZE IT,

IT ACTIVATES
THE DETONATOR.

WORKS ON
THE SAME PRINCIPLE

AS A SHUTTER
OF A CAMERA LENS.

INSTANTANEOUS?

WELL,
UNFORTUNATELY NOT.

I ESTIMATE 10 SECONDS
WOULD ELAPSE

BETWEEN APPLYING
PRESSURE

AND THE EXPLOSION.

10 SECONDS.

IT'S A LIFETIME.

I'M WORKING ON IT.

I'M TRYING TO INVENT
A DETONATOR

THAT WOULD ADJUST ITSELF
TO ALL CONDITIONS

WITHOUT LOSS
OF RELIABILITY.

A PERFECTLY
PRECISE MECHANISM.

A REALLY INTELLIGENT
DETONATOR.

THIS ONE'S NOT
SO BAD, THOUGH.

SEE THAT COUPLE

GOING UP THE STAIRS?

THIS WOULD FINISH THEM,

AND EVERYONE ELSE
IN THE ROOM.

[PIANOLA SONG ENDS]

CHARACTER, YOU SEE.

THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS:

FORCE OF PERSONALITY.

SUPPOSE YOU MEET

A POLICEMAN
OF CHARACTER?

HE'D BE A CHARACTER BASED
ON CONVENTIONAL MORALITY,

DEPENDENT ON LIFE.

IN OTHER WORDS,
INHIBITED,

INFINITELY VULNERABLE.

I RELY ON SOMETHING
WHICH KNOWS NO RESTRAINT,

WHICH CANNOT BE ATTACKED:

DEATH.

I'VE NEVER UNDERSTOOD
WHAT IS IT YOU WANT.

JUST ONE THING:

A PERFECT DETONATOR.

[PIANOLA BEGINS NEW SONG]

MORE.

RIGHT AWAY, SIR.

IT'S A PRECISE AIM--

UNLIKE YOU
WITH YOUR DELEGATIONS,

YOUR COMMITTEES,
YOUR REVOLUTIONS,

WHICH IS SIMPLY
A MIRROR IMAGE

OF THE SOCIETY
YOU PRETEND TO DESPISE.

THERE WE ARE, SIR.

Ossipon:
DID YOU KNOW

THERE WAS A MAN
BLOWN UP

IN GREENWICH PARK
THIS MORNING?

NO.

HUGE EXPLOSION,

FRAGMENTS OF BODY
EVERYWHERE.

HERE YOU ARE,

THE USUAL
NEWSPAPER GUFF.

CRIMINAL STUPIDITY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN
BY CRIMINAL.

WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE
MEANS.

I MEAN,
SOMETHING LIKE THIS

IS VERY DANGEROUS

FOR PEOPLE
IN OUR POSITION.

AND YOU TELL ME YOU ARE
GIVING YOUR STUFF AWAY

TO ANY FOOL
WHO COMES TO YOU.

BOTH HANDS, FREELY,

'CAUSE WHAT'S NEEDED
IS A CLEAN SWEEP.

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN
ABOUT CONSEQUENCES.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE PERSON
YOU GAVE THE EXPLOSIVES TO?

DESCRIBE HIM? YES.

I CAN DESCRIBE HIM
IN ONE WORD.

VERLOC.

[SONG ENDS]

VERLOC?

[KEYS JINGLING]

Professor: HE SAID
HE WANTED IT

FOR SOME KIND
OF DEMONSTRATION

AGAINST A BUILDING,

AND HE WANTED TO BE
ABLE TO CARRY IT

IN PUBLIC WITHOUT
AROUSING SUSPICION.

SO I CUT
THE BOTTOM OUT

OF AN OLD ONE-GALLON
COPAL VARNISH CAN.

AFTERWARDS,
I RESOLDERED IT.

I PUT THE DETONATOR
IN THE SCREW CAP.

Ossipon: WHAT DO YOU
SUPPOSE HAPPENED?

I DON'T KNOW.

ONCE YOU TIGHTEN THE CAP
AND MAKE THE CONNECTION,

IT GIVES YOU 20 MINUTES.

IT ALSO BECOMES
EXTREMELY VOLATILE.

SO EITHER HE LET
THE TIME RUN TOO CLOSE,

OR HE LET IT FALL.

I CAN'T IMAGINE
WHAT CAME OVER VERLOC.

HE WAS A NOBODY,

A QUITE ORDINARY
PERSONALITY.

USEFUL, BUT NO MORE.

MARRIED EVEN.

RAN A SHOP WHICH I IMAGINE
HIS WIFE STARTED FOR HIM.

HE DIDN'T TELL YOU WHY?

I DIDN'T ASK.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I SHOULD DO.

WHAT YOU USUALLY DO,
I IMAGINE.

FASTEN YOURSELF
TO THE WOMAN

FOR ALL SHE'S WORTH.

[TRAIN PASSES BY]

WELL, WELL, WELL.

CHIEF INSPECTOR HEAT.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I'M NOT LOOKING FOR YOU.

NOT THIS TIME.
WHEN I AM,

I SHALL KNOW
WHERE TO FIND YOU.

AND I'M SURE YOUR OBITUARY
WILL BE MORE FLATTERING

THAN YOU DESERVE.

ALSO, HOWEVER
CONSCIENTIOUSLY

YOUR FRIENDS MAY TRY
AND SORT US OUT,

I'M AFRAID SOME OF YOU
MAY END UP BEING BURIED

WITH SOME OF ME.

THIS SORT OF STUFF
IS ALL VERY WELL

FOR FRIGHTENING
CHILDREN.

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT.

YOU'LL NEVER HAVE
A MORE FAVORABLE OPPORTUNITY

FOR MAKING A HUMANE ARREST.

IT'S JUST YOU AND ME.

NOT EVEN A CAT AROUND.

SURELY, THAT'S A WORTHWHILE
SELF-SACRIFICE

FOR A PUBLIC SERVANT.

YOU'D DO IT IF YOU KNEW
HOW CRUELLY TEMPTED

I AM EVERY TIME
I WALK IN A CROWD.

IF I WAS
TO GRAB YOU NOW,

I'D BE NO BETTER
THAN YOU.

YOU'LL NEVER GET ME SO CHEAP.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOUR GAME IS.

I DON'T EXPECT
YOU KNOW YOURSELF.

YOU'RE RATHER FAMOUS
FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING OUR GAME.

WELL,
WHATEVER IT IS,

GIVE IT UP.

YOU'LL FIND WE'RE
TOO MANY FOR YOU.

IT'S A GOOD JOB

YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS MAKE
SUCH A MESS OF THINGS.

IF A BURGLAR WAS
THAT INCOMPETENT,

HE'D STARVE.

I'M BETTER AT MY WORK
THAN YOU ARE.

THAT'S QUITE
ENOUGH OF THAT.

[LAUGHS]

LUNATIC.

[HEAVY RAINFALL]

[THUNDER]

EVENING.

EVENING.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

PLEASE MAKE
YOURSELF COMFORTABLE,

CHIEF INSPECTOR.

THANK YOU, SIR.

SIT DOWN.

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO,

YOU ASSURED ME THERE WAS
NO PROSPECT WHATSOEVER

OF ANY OUTBREAK
OF ANARCHIST ACTIVITY.

I PASSED THIS ON
TO THE HOME SECRETARY,

HE WAS
EXTREMELY PLEASED,

HE SMILED AT ME.

I WONDER IF YOU CAN
IMAGINE HOW ANNOYING

I FIND THE MEMORY
OF THAT SMILE.

NONE OF OUR LOT HAD ANYTHING
TO DO WITH THIS, SIR.

TELL ME WHAT YOU
DISCOVERED IN GREENWICH.

OUR MAN ARRIVED
AT MAZE HILL STATION

AT 11:08
ON THE GRAVESEND TRAIN.

SHORT STOCKY FELLOW.
HE WAS CARRYING A TIN CAN.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,
THERE WAS TWO OF 'EM.

THEY'D COME FROM A PLACE
CALLED ALDINGTON

NEAR HYTHE.

AN OLD WOMAN SAW THEM
MAKING THEIR WAY

TOWARDS THE OBSERVATORY.

THE EXPLOSION HAPPENED
ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER.

A CONSTABLE HEARD IT.

HE WAS ON THE SCENE
WITHIN A MINUTE OR TWO.

Asst. Commissioner: WHAT
EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE

THAT IT WAS
THE SAME PEOPLE?

Heat: STRIPS OF YELLOW TIN
IN THE VICINITY.

ONLY ONE OF THEM WAS KILLED.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

BITS AND PIECES ONLY
ADDED UP TO ONE BODY.

COULDN'T IDENTIFY HIM,

BUT HE HAD THE RIGHT NUMBER
OF EVERYTHING.

GOOD DEAL OF HIM THEY HAD
TO SCRAPE UP WITH A SPADE.

NICE TREAT
FOR THE CORONER'S JURY.

[THUNDER]

FILTHY WEATHER.

THE HOME SECRETARY
SAID HE'D BEEN TOLD

WE WERE VERY EFFICIENT,

AND WHAT WE SEEMED
MOST EFFICIENT AT

WAS MAKING HIM
LOOK A FOOL.

THERE IS ONE
WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL

CHINK OF LIGHT, SIR.

THIS PLACE IN KENT,
ALDINGTON NEAR HYTHE.

YES?

ODD SORT OF PLACE
OF ORIGIN

FOR 2 RUTHLESS
TERRORISTS.

WOULDN'T YOU SAY?

NOT IF YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW

THAT NOT MORE
THAN A MILE AWAY

THERE IS A COTTAGE
OCCUPIED AT PRESENT

BY THE EX-CONVICT
MICHAELIS?

I THOUGHT YOU JUST TOLD ME
OUR ANARCHISTS

HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH THIS AFFAIR?

DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T
ISSUE A CHARGE

IF WE FEEL LIKE IT, SIR.

YOU'LL NEED SOME PRETTY
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.

I DON'T THINK THAT'LL
BE TOO DIFFICULT, SIR.

I CAN LOOK AFTER THAT.

TRUST ME FOR THAT.

A MAN LIKE THAT
HAS NO BUSINESS

BEING OUT OF PRISON,
IF YOU ASK ME.

NONE OF THEM DO.

I TELL YOU, SIR,

IT MAKES ME LONG
FOR THE DAYS

WHEN I WAS CATCHING
GOOD HONEST THIEVES.

AT LEAST YOU KNOW
WHERE YOU ARE WITH THIEVES,

BIT OF MUTUAL RESPECT.

AT LEAST THEY'RE NORMAL.

I BELIEVE YOU'RE
HIDING SOMETHING

FROM ME,
CHIEF INSPECTOR.

Asst. Commissioner:
WHAT IS IT?

Heat: SOMETHING IN REGARDS
TO MICHAELIS, SIR?

NO, WHAT'S PUZZLING ME,
IN FACT,

IS YOUR EAGERNESS TO SHUNT
THE WHOLE TRAIN OFF

INTO A SIDING
MARKED MICHAELIS.

SO YOU'D BETTER TELL ME
WHAT ELSE YOU'VE DISCOVERED.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,
THERE WAS ANOTHER MATTER

I'D INTENDED TO DRAW
TO YOUR ATTENTION

IN DUE COURSE.

I FOUND AN ADDRESS.

AN ADDRESS?

THAT'S RIGHT, SIR,
ON THE CORPSE.

WHAT ADDRESS?

32 BRETT STREET.
IT'S A SHOP.

WHAT KIND OF SHOP?

THE KIND OF SHOP
YOU MIGHT EXPECT TO FIND

IN SOHO, SIR.

WHO RUNS THIS SHOP?

A MAN WHO,
FROM TIME TO TIME,

I HAVE OCCASION
TO MAKE USE OF.

DOES HE HAVE A NAME,
THIS PARAGON?

VERLOC.

A PERSONAL FRIEND OF MINE
IN THE FRENCH POLICE

TIPPED ME THE WINK
THAT HE WAS A SECRET AGENT

IN THE PAY
OF THE RUSSIAN EMBASSY.

SO I CALLED ON HIM
ONE EVENING,

TOLD HIM WHO I WAS.

HE DIDN'T BAT AN EYELID.

SAID HE WAS A MARRIED MAN

AND DIDN'T WANT
ANY TROUBLE.

SO WE CAME
TO AN ARRANGEMENT.

DESCRIBE IT.

I HAD A WORD
WITH THE CUSTOMS PEOPLE,

MADE SURE
THEY WOULDN'T INTERFERE

WITH ANY
OF HIS SHIPMENTS,

AND IN RETURN
I'M ABLE TO CONSULT HIM

WHENEVER I THINK THERE'S
SOMETHING IN THE WIND.

AND HOW LONG HAS
THIS BEEN GOING ON?

7 YEARS.

NO WONDER YOUR REPUTATION
FOR OMNISCIENCE

IS SO ESTABLISHED.

SO, IN OTHER WORDS,

YOU WOULD RATHER THROW
AN INNOCENT MAN TO THE LIONS

THAN DISPENSE
WITH THE SERVICES

OF SO USEFUL
AN INFORMANT.

I'D HARDLY
DESCRIBE MICHAELIS

AS AN INNOCENT MAN,
SIR.

EVEN THOUGH I KNOW
HE ENJOYS A NUMBER

OF INFLUENTIAL
FRIENDS, SIR.

IF YOU MEAN THE DUCHESS OF--

ISN'T SHE A PARTICULAR
FRIEND OF YOUR WIFE, SIR?

AS TO THAT,
THE FIRST SECRETARY

AT THE RUSSIAN EMBASSY
IS A MEMBER OF MY CLUB.

AND I MAY SAY
IT'S MOST IMPROPER OF YOU

TO TRY FINESSING
WITH ME IN THIS WAY.

THIS VERLOC IS A SPY

IN THE PAY
OF A FOREIGN EMBASSY.

I DON'T FEEL DISPOSED
TO OVERLOOK THAT FACT

JUST BECAUSE HE MAY PRIVATELY
BE OF SERVICE TO YOU!

IT'S MY OPINION
HE KNOWS

NOTHING AT ALL
OF THIS BUSINESS.

THEN HOW DO YOU ACCOUNT
FOR THE ADDRESS?

I DON'T ACCOUNT FOR IT.

YOU SEE,
I BEGIN TO SEE THIS

AS A HEAVEN-SENT
OPPORTUNITY

TO DEAL WITH
A WHOLE GANG OF SPIES,

AGENTS PROVOCATEURS,
AND ALL KINDS

OF POLITICAL RIFFRAFF.

[SCOFFS]

YOU MAY GO.

REPORT TO ME HERE

AT 9:00
TOMORROW MORNING.

AS YOU PLEASE, SIR.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[CARRIAGE APPROACHING]

HAROLD!

JUST THE MAN I WAS
HOPING TO RUN ACROSS.

HOW ARE YOU?

WILL YOU TAKE
A DRINK WITH ME?

UNFORTUNATELY,
I HAVE AN ERRAND TO RUN.

BUSY DAY, HUH?

THIS OUTRAGE
IN GREENWICH PARK.

JUST SO.

I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE.

I CANNOT UNDERSTAND
WHY YOUR GOVERNMENT

IS SO INDULGENT TOWARDS
THESE TERRORISTS.

PERHAPS IT IS
BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT

SO CRUELLY AFFECTED
AS WE ARE IN MY COUNTRY.

WE'RE ON THE TRACK

OF A MAN
CALLED VERLOC.

WHAT?

I UNDERSTAND
YOU KNOW HIM.

WHAT MAKES YOU
THINK THAT?

HE HAS NO SECRETS
FROM US.

A LYING DOG
OF SOME KIND.

THIS MAY WELL BE
THE BREAKTHROUGH

WE'VE BEEN
WAITING FOR.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

IN OUR CAMPAIGN

TO CLEAR OUT
OF THIS COUNTRY

THE DESPICABLE SCUM
THAT USE EMBASSIES

AS A COVER FOR THEIR
CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES.

I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT.

I BELIEVE
I'VE HEARD YOU COMPLAIN

OF THE INEFFICIENCY
OF OUR POLICE.

BUT WITHIN 8 HOURS
OF THIS EXPLOSION,

WE SEEM TO HAVE ESTABLISHED
NOT ONLY THE PERPETRATOR,

BUT EVEN THE INSTIGATOR
BEHIND HIM.

NOT BAD,
WOULDN'T YOU SAY?

AREN'T YOU IMPRESSED?!

[THUNDER]

[GASPS]

[THUNDER]

[BELL JINGLES]

WHERE'S YOUR UMBRELLA?

[JINGLE]

I MUST HAVE
LEFT IT SOMEWHERE.

HAVE YOU BEEN DOWN
TO SEE STEVIE?

NO. NO.

[THUNDER]

YOU'VE LET YOURSELF
GET SOAKED THROUGH.

YEAH. I'LL--
I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU'LL BE LAID UP WITH A COLD
NEXT THING.

NO,
I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

I'LL GET THE TEA ON.

[SHUDDERS]

[CLEARS THROAT]

[HUMMING]

WHERE YOU BEEN
ALL DAY ANYWAY?

[EXHALES HEAVILY]
NOWHERE.

[THUNDER]

I...D-DID GO
TO THE BANK.

WHAT FOR?

TO DRAW OUT
THE MONEY.

ALL OF IT?

YEAH.
ALL OF IT.

WHY?

I THOUGHT
I MIGHT NEED IT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU CAN TRUST ME.

YOU KNOW THAT,
DON'T YOU?

OH, YES.

I TRUST YOU.

[SHARPENING KNIFE]

IF I HADN'T
TRUSTED YOU,

I WOULDN'T
HAVE MARRIED YOU.

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT
WITH ME.

NOT TIRED OF ME YET?

[SIGHS SHARPLY]

[DOORBELL JINGLES]

THE SHOP, ADOLF.

WHAT? THE WHAT?

YOU'D BETTER GO.

[JINGLE]

[SIGHS]

[THUNDER]

ARE YOU FEELING
ALL RIGHT?

I FIND I HAVE TO GO
OUT THIS EVENING.

YOU OVER FROM
THE CONTINENT?

YOU DO UNDERSTAND
ENGLISH?

OH, YES.

I UNDERSTAND
ENGLISH.

DID YOU KNOW MR. VERLOC
IN FRANCE, PERHAPS?

I'VE HEARD OF HIM.

ADOLF!

YOU'RE NOT
GOING OUT

WITH ALL THAT
MONEY ON YOU?

MONEY?

OH, YES.

NO.

YOU KNOW THAT MAN?

I'VE--
I'VE HEARD OF HIM.

HE'S NOT ONE OF THOSE
EMBASSY PEOPLE

YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT?

EMBASSY PEOPLE.

I COULD CUT
THEIR HEARTS OUT

AS SOON AS LOOK AT THEM.

GET RID OF HIM
AS QUICK AS YOU CAN

AND COME BACK
HOME TO ME.

YOU WANT
LOOKING AFTER.

[DOORBELL JINGLES]

[DOOR CLOSES]

I CAN ONLY HELP YOU
IF YOU TELL ME EVERYTHING.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT,
DON'T YOU?

I'LL TELL YOU
EVERYTHING.

[BELL JINGLES]

HUSBAND IN
BY ANY CHANCE,

MRS. VERLOC?

NO, HE'S GONE OUT.

I WANTED A WORD
WITH HIM.

I'D WAIT
IF I THOUGHT

HE WASN'T GOING
TO BE TOO LONG.

ANY IDEA WHERE
HE'S GONE?

HE DIDN'T SAY.

I THINK YOU KNOW
WHO I AM.

I'M A POLICEMAN,
YOU KNOW THAT.

I TRY NOT TO BOTHER MY HEAD
ABOUT THESE THINGS.

MY NAME IS HEAT.

CHIEF INSPECTOR HEAT...

OF THE SPECIAL CRIMES
DEPARTMENT.

OH, YES?

SO YOUR HUSBAND DIDN'T SAY
WHEN HE'D BE BACK?

HE'S OUT WITH SOMEONE.

FRIEND?

NO, JUST SOMEONE
WHO CALLED.

WOULD YOU MIND
TELLING ME

WHAT THIS SOMEONE
LOOKED LIKE?

TALL, THIN FELLOW,

SORT OF FOREIGN-LOOKING.

DAMN IT,
I THOUGHT AS MUCH.

IN THAT CASE,
I THINK I WON'T WAIT

FOR YOUR HUSBAND.

YOU'RE VERY CALM,
BUT I EXPECT

YOU COULD GIVE ME
A PRETTY GOOD IDEA

ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON
IF YOU FELT LIKE IT.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE,
A SMALL MATTER.

PERHAPS YOU MIGHT
BE ABLE TO HELP US.

YES?

WE'VE COME INTO
POSSESSION OF...

OF WHAT WE BELIEVE

MIGHT BE
A STOLEN OVERCOAT.

WE'RE NOT MISSING
AN OVERCOAT.

IN THE OVERCOAT
THERE IS A LABEL

WITH THIS ADDRESS

WRITTEN IN
PURPLE MARKING INK.

WELL, THAT MUST BE
MY BROTHER'S.

COULD I HAVE A WORD
WITH HIM?

HE'S NOT HERE.

WHERE IS HE?

STAYING WITH A FRIEND
IN THE COUNTRY.

HAS HE GOT A NAME,
THIS FRIEND?

MICHAELIS.

OH.

EXCELLENT, YES.

NOW WE'RE TALKING.

SO MICHAELIS
HAD NOTHING WHATEVER

TO DO WITH THIS AFFAIR?

NO. IT WAS JUST STEVIE,
MY BROTHER-IN-LAW.

HE WAS STAYING AT HIS HOUSE
IN THE COUNTRY.

I COLLECTED HIM
ABOUT 8:00 THIS MORNING.

TOLD MICHAELIS
I'D BRING HIM BACK TONIGHT.

WE TOOK THE TRAIN
TO MAZE HILL,

ARRIVED, I DON'T KNOW,
ABOUT 11:00.

IN THE PARK,

I PRIMED THE BOMB...

AND SENT HIM OFF WITH IT.

I WAS FOND OF HIM,
YOU KNOW?

I WAS REALLY FOND
OF THAT BOY.

I'M SORRY.

APPALLING PLACE
YOU'VE BROUGHT ME TO.

SERVES VERY WELL
FOR THE REFUGEES

THEY SEND ME OVER
FROM THE CONTINENT.

I SUPPOSE IT'S A QUESTION
OF WHAT YOU'RE USED TO.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GET DOWN TO
BUSINESS, SHALL WE?

YOU SEE, IT STRIKES ME,
MRS. VERLOC,

THAT YOU PROBABLY KNOW MORE
ABOUT THIS BOMB BUSINESS

THAN YOU'RE AWARE OF.

WHAT BOMB BUSINESS?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

BOMB WENT OFF THIS MORNING
IN GREENWICH PARK,

BY ACCIDENT, MOST LIKE,

SINCE ONE OF THE PERPETRATORS
WAS BLOWN TO BITS,

AND I HAVE REASON TO SUPPOSE
THAT YOUR HUSBAND

MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP ME
WITH MY INQUIRIES, THAT'S ALL.

ADOLF WOULD NEVER
GET MIXED UP

IN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

I KNOW THAT.

IT'S JUST INFORMATION
I'M AFTER.

YOU'RE QUITE SURE HE HASN'T
SPOKEN TO YOU ABOUT IT?

I TAKE IT
YOU CAN IDENTIFY THIS.

YES.

YOUR BROTHER...

IS HE IN THE HABIT
OF GOING ABOUT LABELED?

HE SOMETIMES GETS
A BIT CONFUSED,

SO I MADE THAT LABEL

AND SEWED IT IN
FOR HIM.

HE'S ALL RIGHT.

THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH HIM.

IT'S JUST SOMETIMES

HE LIKES TO GO SEE
HIS MOTHER ON HIS OWN,

AND I--I LIKE TO BE
ON THE SAFE SIDE.

IS HE A SHORT, STOCKY FELLA?

NO.

HE'S TALL AND FAIR.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
THAT LABEL.

WHATEVER DID YOU
TEAR IT OUT FOR?

[DOORBELL JINGLES]

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

A WORD OR TWO.

YOU'D BETTER
COME UPSTAIRS, THEN.

Heat: TOOK A LITTLE WHILE
FOR THE PENNY TO DROP.

IT WAS ONLY WHEN
I WAS TALKING

WITH YOUR WIFE JUST NOW

THAT I REALIZED
YOU MUST BE THE OTHER MAN.

Verloc: YOU'RE
GONNA TAKE ME IN?

I KNOW WHO YOU'VE
JUST BEEN TALKING TO.

IT'S HIS CASE NOW.

BUT I'M THE ONE
WHO TRACED YOU,

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THAT.

HOW?

TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

Verloc: WHAT DID
SHE WANT TO TRY

A DODGE
LIKE THAT FOR?

Heat: MADE YOU AN OFFER,
DID HE?

HE SAYS IF
I COOPERATE FULLY,

I'LL GET
2 YEARS MAXIMUM.

PRIZES ARE EASY.
IF I WAS YOU,

I WOULDN'T TRUST HIM
AS FAR AS I COULD THROW HIM.

I'VE GOTTA TRUST
SOMEBODY.

WHAT YOU GONNA TELL THEM?

EVERYTHING.

YOU KNOW ME,
I'M ALWAYS STRAIGHT.

THAT'S WHY I'VE BEEN
SO USEFUL TO YOU.

A LOT OF USEFUL THINGS
THIS IS GONNA PUT A STOP TO.

SEE...

HE WAS SIMPLE.

[GASPS]

THAT WAS THE TROUBLE.

WE WENT OVER IT ALL

I DON'T KNOW
HOW MANY TIMES.

IT COULDN'T
HAVE BEEN EASIER.

I WAS JUST
STANDING THERE, WAITING.

[EXPLOSION]

THEN YOU HEARD THE BANG?

CAME TOO SOON, YOU SEE.

[SOBS]

THAT'S WHEN I KNEW
HE'D GONE.

OHH.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED.

WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PIECE IT
TOGETHER, MORE OR LESS.

LOOKS LIKE HE STUMBLED
OVER A ROOT.

AND YOU'RE RIGHT
ABOUT HIM BEING GONE.

HIS HEAD AND FEET
WERE STILL THERE,

BUT THE REST OF HIM

THEY HAD TO SCRAPE UP
WITH A SHOVEL.

[SOBBING]

COULDN'T YOU TAKE ME IN
TONIGHT?

I'D COME QUIETLY.

I DARESAY.

BUT BY TOMORROW MORNING,

THIS ISN'T GONNA BE
MY CASE ANYMORE,

THANKS TO YOUR NEW FRIEND.

JAIL'S THE ONLY
SAFE PLACE FOR ME.

THEY'LL ALL BE
LOOKING FOR ME NOW.

IF I'M NOT CAREFUL,

I'M LIABLE TO END UP
WITH A KNIFE IN ME BACK.

DO YOU WANT MY ADVICE?

PRIVATE ADVICE FROM
PRIVATE CITIZEN HEAT.

I DO.

CLEAR OUT. VANISH.

WE WON'T CHASE AFTER YOU.

I CAN SEE TO THAT.

NEITHER WILL YOUR PEOPLE.

THEY ALL THINK
YOU'RE DEAD ALREADY.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

I'D SAY THEY'D MAKE
A LOGICAL ASSUMPTION

THAT IT WAS YOUR GUTS SPREAD
ALL OVER GREENWICH PARK,

WOULDN'T YOU?

[DOORBELL JINGLES]

[JINGLES]

HE'S A GOOD MAN,
MR. VERLOC.

I NEVER MEANT ANY HARM
TO COME TO THE BOY.

YOU KNOW THAT.

I...

I COULDN'T THINK HOW
I WAS GONNA BREAK IT TO YOU.

I SAT FOR HOURS
IN THE CHESHIRE CHEESE,

WORRYING ME HEAD OFF.

[MOANS]

IT CAN'T BE HELPED,
WINNIE.

WHAT'S DONE
CAN'T BE UNDONE.

LOOK, YOU MIGHT LOOK
AT A FELLA.

I NEVER WANT TO LOOK
AT YOU AGAIN

AS LONG AS I LIVE.

COME ON, WINNIE,
BE REASONABLE.

THIS WON'T BRING HIM BACK!

WELL, SUPPOSIN' IT'D
BEEN ME YOU'D LOST,

WHERE WOULD YOU BE THEN?

YOU KNOW
I DON'T LIKE

TO WORRY YOU.

WELL--
SO, I DIDN'T--

I DIDN'T TELL YOU
WHAT A SPOT

THIS EMBASSY BASTARD
HAD PUT ME IN.

11 YEARS
I'VE WORKED FOR THEM.

I'VE RISKED MY LIFE
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES.

THERE'S SCORES
OF THOSE REVOLUTIONISTS

I'VE SENT OFF
TO BE CAUGHT RED-HANDED.

THE HIGHEST IN THE WORLD
HAS GOT ME TO THANK

FOR STILL WALKING
ON THEIR 2 LEGS.

THEN THIS NEW SWINE
TURNS UP,

IGNORANT, OVERBEARING.

THINKS HE KNOWS IT ALL.

I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM
BY THE THROAT

AND RAMMED HIS HEAD
UP THE EMBASSY CHIMNEY!

I'M SORRY, LOVE.
I HAVEN'T EATEN ALL DAY.

I COULD HAVE DONE, TOO.
HA HA.

THEY WOULDN'T HAVE DARED
CALL THE POLICE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

LOVE YOU, WIN.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER

SOONER OR LATER, MY GIRL.

PERHAPS YOU OUGHT TO
GO TO BED.

WHAT YOU NEED
IS A GOOD CRY.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
LIKE FATHER AND SON.

WHAT?

BUT YOU WERE JUST
TAKING HIM AWAY FROM ME

TO MURDER HIM.

HOLD IT, HANG ON.

AND THERE WAS I,

SURE YOU'D COME HOME
WITH A COLD.

NO, NO, LISTEN,
I WAS UPSET.

I WAS UPSET ABOUT YOU.

AND THE BOY...

OF COURSE.

LISTEN, WINNIE...

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
MAKE PLANS.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT I'M SAYING?

I'M GONNA HAVE TO
GO AWAY.

BUT YOU'RE GONNA NEED
TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL.

THEY'RE GONNA BE
WATCHING YOU,

ALL THE TIME.

YOU'RE GONNA BE ON YOUR OWN

FOR A WHILE,
TILL THE RIGHT MOMENT.

THEN YOU CAN SLIP AWAY
AND JOIN ME.

ABROAD?

YEAH, OF COURSE, ABROAD.

I DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT EASY
FOR 'EM

TO CATCH UP WITH ME
AND DO ME IN.

I THINK TOO MUCH OF YOU
FOR THAT.

WHAT ABOUT STEVIE?

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
UPSTAIRS?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT,

A BIT OF REST AND QUIET.

IT WON'T BE LONG
BEFORE I JOIN YOU.

[MUSIC BOX CHIMES]

[FOOTSTEPS]

[KEENING]

[FOOTSTEPS]

LOOK AT THE TIME, WINNIE.

YOUR MOTHER WILL BE IN BED
BEFORE YOU GET THERE.

SHOW A BIT OF SENSE.

LOOK, I DON'T WANT TO
MAKE A POINT OF THIS,

BUT YOU'RE THE ONE WHO
BROUGHT THE POLICE HERE

BY SEWIN' IN THAT LABEL
WITHOUT TELLIN' ME!

NOW, TAKE OFF YOUR HAT.

I CAN'T DO WITHOUT YOU
THIS EVENING.

COME ON.

COME ON.

SIT DOWN.

WELL, TAKE
THE DAMN THING OFF!

[WHISPERS]
That's more like it.

THE BOY IS GONE.

YOU THINK I WANTED HIM
TO BLOW HIMSELF UP?

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT...

JUST AS MUCH AS IF
HE WAS RUN OVER BY A BUS.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO KEPT
PUSHIN' HIM MY WAY,

TELLIN' ME TO TAKE HIM
OUT FOR WALKS!

IF YOU LOOK AT IT THAT WAY,

YOU'RE JUST AS RESPONSIBLE
FOR HIS DEATH AS I AM!

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

I WISH TO GOODNESS I'D NEVER
LAID EYES ON GREENWICH PARK.

[BIRD CAWS]

WINNIE.

WINNIE.
YES.

I KNOW WHAT'D DO YOU GOOD.

COME OVER HERE.

COME ON.

DON'T!

AAH!

[GASPS]

[GROANS]

[COUGHS]

I NEVER WANTED YOU.

ALL I EVER WANTED

WAS SOMEWHERE SAFE
FOR STEVIE.

WHAT...

[PIANOLA PLAYING]

[BELL RINGS]

[DOG BARKS]

AAH!
OHH!

MRS. VERLOC.

MR. OSSIPON.

I WAS ON MY WAY
TO SEE YOU.

YOU WERE?

YES.

Ossipon:
WHERE ARE WE GOING?

WILL YOU HELP ME?

Winnie: CAN'T YOU
TAKE ME AWAY?

OUT OF THE COUNTRY,
TONIGHT?

I DON'T THINK THERE IS
A TRAIN TILL THE MORNING.

WELL, ISN'T
THERE SOMEWHERE

YOU CAN HIDE ME?

NO. I CAN'T TAKE YOU
BACK TO MY LODGINGS.

SOMEWHERE ELSE, THEN.

BUT I--I HAVE NO MONEY
ON ME, YOU KNOW?

WE ANARCHISTS
ARE NOT VERY RICH.

I HAVE MONEY!

HOW MUCH?

ALL THE MONEY!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

ALL THE MONEY
HE HAD IN THE BANK.

THEN WE ARE SAVED.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU LOOK SO MOROSE.

I'D HEARD YOU'D COME
INTO A LITTLE LEGACY.

DO YOU WANT IT?

WHAT?

THE LEGACY.

YOU CAN HAVE IT,

ALL OF IT.

I SHALL SEND OFF TOMORROW
FOR CERTAIN CHEMICALS,

THINGS THAT I NEED.

IF THIS IS ALL RIGHT,
I'LL PASS THE BILL TO YOU.

WHATEVER YOU LIKE.

Ossipon: WAIT A MINUTE.
THERE IS A MIDNIGHT FERRY

FROM SOUTHAMPTON
TO ST. MALO.

10:30 FROM WATERLOO,
I THINK.

CAN WE GO BACK
TO THE SHOP?

THE SHOP? WHAT--

I PACKED A CASE.

WELL...

ALL RIGHT.

IT'S UPSTAIRS
ON THE FLOOR.

AAH!

[DOORBELL JINGLES]

OHH!

THE POLICEMAN!
HE SPOTTED ME!

WHAT?!

[DOORKNOB RATTLING]

[WHISPERS]
If he comes in, kill me.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[FOOTSTEPS RECEDING]

THEY'D HANG ME, TOM.

I CAN'T BEAR THE THOUGHT.

DID YOU DO THAT?

HE KILLED MY BOY.

OH, MY GOD.

IT WAS THE DEGENERATE
IN THE PARK.

MY STEVIE...

OH, MY GOD.

THE MONEY'S UPSTAIRS?

NO. IT'S ON ME.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE,

OR WE'LL MISS THE TRAIN.

YOU'D BETTER LET ME
HAVE THE MONEY.

YES, TOM.

Ossipon: WAIT HERE.

YES?

Clerk, impatient: YES?

WE SHOULD KEEP APART
UNTIL THE TRAIN LEAVES.

ANOTHER ONE,
PLEASE.

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS]

I TIPPED THE GUARD

SO WE'LL HAVE THE COMPARTMENT
TO OURSELVES.

YOU THINK OF EVERYTHING.

EXTRAORDINARY BOY,
THAT BROTHER OF YOURS.

YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE

THAT TOOK ANY NOTICE
OF HIM, TOM.

I LOVED YOU FOR IT.

[CONDUCTOR'S WHISTLE BLOWS]

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

SAFE JOURNEY.

[GASPS]

[TRAIN WHISTLE]

Professor: IF I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU BETTER, OSSIPON,

I'D CONCLUDE THAT YOU'RE
IN THE THROES OF REMORSE.

PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER.

REMORSE IS FOR THE WEAK...

AND WEAKNESS IS THE SOURCE
OF ALL EVIL ON THIS EARTH.

THERE'S A TIME COMING,

AND IT'S GOING TO BE SOONER
RATHER THAN LATER,

WHEN THIS WILL BE UNDERSTOOD
BY GOVERNMENTS

AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALS:

THAT THERE CAN BE NO PROGRESS

AND NO SOLUTIONS

UNTIL YOU MAKE
A RATIONAL DECISION

TO EXTERMINATE THE WEAK.

I MYSELF HAVE NO FUTURE...

BUT I AM A FORCE.

TO THE DESTRUCTION
OF WHAT IS.
