00:00:00The Lady Killers
00:00:30Adapted for radio by Bruce Bedford
00:00:35from the Ealing Comedy screenplay by William Rose.
00:00:44With Margot Boyd as Mum,
00:00:47Johnny Morris as the Parrot,
00:00:49and Stratford Johns as Sergeant MacDonald.
00:00:53The Lady Killers.
00:01:00The Lady Killers.
00:01:29Good morning, Mr Ferris.
00:01:35Good morning, Mum.
00:01:36Lovely haddock you've got there.
00:01:39Shall I save you one?
00:01:40Quite possibly.
00:01:43Quite possibly.
00:01:50Sergeant.
00:01:51Yes, Constable?
00:01:54What do you spy?
00:01:56It's Mrs Wilberforce.
00:01:57What?
00:01:58And closing fast.
00:02:00Oh, why is it always me?
00:02:04Good morning, Sergeant.
00:02:06Mrs Wilberforce.
00:02:08Sergeant, it's about my friend Amelia and her spaceship.
00:02:13Spaceship.
00:02:13Spaceship.
00:02:14Thank you, Constable.
00:02:16The one she saw in her garden last Wednesday afternoon.
00:02:19She's, uh, seen it again?
00:02:22Sergeant, she never saw it in the first place.
00:02:26Oh, I'm very relieved to hear that.
00:02:29Amelia had her wireless on,
00:02:30and they were doing a little play.
00:02:32Visitors from another world or something.
00:02:35And the silly girl just dropped off to sleep
00:02:37and dreamt the whole thing.
00:02:40I do hope all sorts of official wheels
00:02:43haven't been set in motion, Sergeant.
00:02:45Well, don't you worry about wheels, Mum.
00:02:48If there are any beings on other worlds,
00:02:52I can't think why they would want to come to our world.
00:02:55Now you come to mention it.
00:02:57We seem so terribly overcrowded already, don't we?
00:03:00Goodbye, Sergeant.
00:03:02The Constable?
00:03:03Mrs Wilberforce.
00:03:06Your umbrella.
00:03:08Oh, I'm always leaving it.
00:03:10The truth is, I don't like it very much, really.
00:03:14Perhaps that's the reason.
00:03:16Goodbye.
00:03:16Oh, dear.
00:03:25Whichever one, is it?
00:03:27Oh, yes.
00:03:28Yes.
00:03:46Oh, yes.
00:03:59Oh, yes.
00:03:59Oh, yes.
00:04:00Oh, yes.
00:04:01Oh, yes.
00:04:02Oh, yes.
00:04:03Oh, yes.
00:04:04Oh, yes.
00:04:05Oh, yes.
00:04:06Oh, yes.
00:04:07Oh, yes.
00:04:07Oh, yes.
00:04:08Oh, yes.
00:04:09Oh, yes.
00:04:10Oh, yes.
00:04:10Oh, yes.
00:04:11Oh, yes.
00:04:12Oh, yes.
00:04:12Oh, yes.
00:04:13Oh, yes.
00:04:13Oh, yes.
00:04:14Oh, yes.
00:04:14Oh, yes.
00:04:15Oh, yes.
00:04:15Oh, yes.
00:04:17Here we are.
00:04:18Here we are.
00:04:19Come on then, come on.
00:04:21Here we are.
00:04:22Oh, right there you are.
00:04:24Here we are.
00:04:26A band of hope.
00:04:27Where?
00:04:28Oh, right, my dear.
00:04:31I haven't been gone so very long, have I?
00:04:34Oh, darling, no water.
00:04:46Help! Help!
00:04:57Where's the gun?
00:04:59Shush, shush, it's coming.
00:05:03Help! Help! Help! Help!
00:05:06Help! Help!
00:05:09Mrs. Wilberforce?
00:05:17Yes?
00:05:18I understand you have rooms to let.
00:05:20I saw your charming card in the shop window.
00:05:24Oh, the rooms, yes.
00:05:27Yes.
00:05:28Won't you come in, please?
00:05:30Ah, thank you.
00:05:33My name is Marcus.
00:05:35How do you do, Mr. Marcus?
00:05:37Professor.
00:05:39Ah, how do you do, Professor?
00:05:43Rooms, yes.
00:05:44Well, now I have two up those stairs and...
00:05:49Oh, I'm sorry.
00:05:51I seem to have a kettle.
00:05:54Yes, yes.
00:05:56Please, come on.
00:05:59You live here all alone?
00:06:03Yes.
00:06:07Hmm.
00:06:08This is the sitting room, and through there, the bedroom.
00:06:19Oh, dear.
00:06:21These rooms do need an airing, don't they?
00:06:25I'm afraid the view is...
00:06:29Well...
00:06:32I must exhilarate him.
00:06:36The rooms will suit me admirably, Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:06:41Oh.
00:06:42And I shall move in tomorrow, if that is convenient to you.
00:06:46Tomorrow?
00:06:47Oh, of course.
00:06:49Oh.
00:06:53Hello.
00:06:55Hello.
00:06:55Who's that?
00:06:56Oh, it's only General Gordon.
00:06:58He belonged to my late husband.
00:07:00I had four.
00:07:02A husband?
00:07:03Oh, parrots.
00:07:07Parrots.
00:07:09Oh.
00:07:10Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:07:12Some friends and I have formed a small, um, musical group.
00:07:17A string quartet, in fact.
00:07:18Then you're a musician.
00:07:21A professor of music.
00:07:24Oh, no, no, no.
00:07:26Merely an amateur, you understand.
00:07:28But we have been looking for somewhere to practice.
00:07:31Would it be agreeable if...
00:07:33Oh, if you were to practice here?
00:07:34Oh, Professor Marcus, I should be delighted.
00:07:38I have always loved music.
00:07:41Now, just one moment.
00:07:45I have a spare key somewhere here in the sitting room.
00:07:49Oh.
00:07:51Excellent.
00:07:52I shall be able to let my friends in of an evening.
00:07:55They can come and go without...
00:07:57Help!
00:07:57Help!
00:07:58Help!
00:07:59Disturbing you.
00:08:00Oh, here it is.
00:08:02Oh, it wouldn't disturb me in the least.
00:08:05I have very few friends.
00:08:06It could be very pleasant to have someone in the house again.
00:08:11Sweet bird.
00:08:13My little companion, General Gordon.
00:08:16You are most kind.
00:08:17And if I may say so, you have a very charming house.
00:08:22Oh.
00:08:22Such, um, pretty windows.
00:08:26I always think the windows are the eyes of a house.
00:08:29And didn't someone say the eyes are the windows of the soul?
00:08:34I don't really know.
00:08:35But it's such a charming thought.
00:08:38I do hope someone expressed it.
00:08:41Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:08:42Au revoir.
00:08:43Good morning, Professor Marcus.
00:08:45Till tomorrow.
00:08:47It's all right, Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:09:06I'll answer it.
00:09:07It must be my friend.
00:09:08Oh, yes.
00:09:10Yes.
00:09:10Yes.
00:09:10Ah.
00:09:13Good evening, Major Courtney.
00:09:15What?
00:09:16Oh, yes.
00:09:17Good evening, Professor.
00:09:19I hope I'm not too early.
00:09:21Not at all.
00:09:21Not at all.
00:09:22Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:09:24May I present it, Major Courtney?
00:09:26How do you do, Mrs. Wilberforce?
00:09:28I'm honoured.
00:09:29How do you do?
00:09:30Come in, gentlemen.
00:09:36Come in.
00:09:37May I introduce Mr. Lawson.
00:09:39Mr. Lawson?
00:09:40Aye.
00:09:41And Mr. Robinson.
00:09:43How do you do?
00:09:44Yeah, all right, sir.
00:09:46So you're the cellist, Mr. Lawson?
00:09:49Aye.
00:09:49The what?
00:09:51Indeed.
00:09:51He's the cellist.
00:09:53Mrs. Wilberforce knows her music.
00:09:55You see, Mr. Lawson, can tell by your instrument case.
00:09:59Oh.
00:09:59Er, yeah, I'm the, er...
00:10:02So.
00:10:03So.
00:10:04There's only Mr. Harvey to come.
00:10:06So I think we might go upstairs, gentlemen.
00:10:09Indeed.
00:10:10Yes.
00:10:11Ha, ha, ha.
00:10:12Do excuse me, Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:10:15And get by with my...
00:10:16No, I'm so sorry, Major.
00:10:18Sorry.
00:10:19No, no.
00:10:19I don't have it.
00:10:21Thank you, sir.
00:10:25Hmm.
00:10:37What's all this about then, Doc?
00:10:39Not dark this time, Harry Professor.
00:10:42Oh, I didn't.
00:10:43Take out your instruments and place them ready to hand.
00:10:46Aye.
00:10:47Where you can reach it quickly, one round.
00:10:51Oh, Lord.
00:10:52Ah, good evening, Mr. Harvey.
00:10:57It is Mr. Harvey, isn't it?
00:10:59What did you say?
00:11:01Yes, yes, it is Mr. Harvey.
00:11:03Come in.
00:11:05Come in.
00:11:08Professor Marcus has told me so much about you.
00:11:11What have you been...
00:11:12Upstairs, Mr. Harvey.
00:11:14Great music calls.
00:11:16Who is she?
00:11:25What did she mean, you've told her so much about me?
00:11:28Are we supposed to make noises with these things?
00:11:31Not noises, one round.
00:11:32Music.
00:11:33Eh?
00:11:34Blimey.
00:11:35I said, what did she mean?
00:11:36Not what you think, Louis.
00:11:38Gentlemen, we shall now make music.
00:11:40Let's see.
00:11:44Ah.
00:11:45Boquerini's minuet, I think.
00:11:47Now, look, poor Fardano, one end of this fiddle from the other.
00:11:50Fortunately, others do.
00:11:59Oh, clever.
00:12:01Damn clever.
00:12:02To the bedroom, gentlemen.
00:12:04We have a plan to discuss.
00:12:06It makes no sense we should bring out the money ourselves or get a professional.
00:12:23Make a spectacular getaway, you mean, at 70 miles an hour in the heart of London in broad daylight with all the traffic?
00:12:29Or take it into the railway station and send it out by train?
00:12:34Hmm, you've quite a flair, Louis, for the obvious.
00:12:36Just like any intelligent policeman, and there are going to be plenty of those there, believe me.
00:12:40They'll have the whole area sealed so tight, you couldn't...
00:12:43I shall explain.
00:12:49In detail, in small words, and you will appreciate that Mrs. Wilberforce is not a mere appendage to my plan.
00:12:57She is the very core of it.
00:12:58That love-sided old...
00:13:02Grandma.
00:13:04Yeah.
00:13:05Just like my grandma.
00:13:07I don't like old ladies.
00:13:09I don't like having them around.
00:13:11I can't stand them.
00:13:14Your places, please.
00:13:19One round.
00:13:21Eh?
00:13:21Take your position.
00:13:23Oh, yeah.
00:13:24Yeah.
00:13:24Do come in.
00:13:43I thought perhaps, before you all became too absorbed, you and your guests might like a cup of tea.
00:13:51Oh, you shouldn't have.
00:13:53Very kind.
00:13:54You are most kind.
00:13:56You know, Professor, you didn't tell me the truth about yourself.
00:14:00What?
00:14:00Or these other gentlemen.
00:14:02Old ladies, I warned you.
00:14:05Why, you're not in the least bit like amateurs.
00:14:09You really must be professionals.
00:14:11You're every bit as good.
00:14:13Oh, not quite.
00:14:16Though we are rather proud of Mr. Harvey's timbre.
00:14:19And that pizzicato passage, Mr. Lawson, it's quite delightful.
00:14:24May I ask where you studied?
00:14:26I, er, didn't really study no place, lady.
00:14:30Just picked it up.
00:14:31I was so surprised when I heard what you were playing.
00:14:35It brought back something I'd completely forgotten about.
00:14:41My 21st birthday party.
00:14:44My dear father engaged a string quartet to come in and play in the evening.
00:14:49And while they were playing boccarini, someone came in and said the old queen had passed away.
00:14:59You really ate, sir.
00:15:00Then everyone went home.
00:15:03And that was the end of my party.
00:15:05All that time ago, in Pangborn, boccarini.
00:15:15Oh, look, I've forgotten the sugar.
00:15:18I won't be a moment.
00:15:20Of course.
00:15:23What old queen.
00:15:25That's it.
00:15:26I don't care how we do this job, but we leave her out of it.
00:15:29We better discuss it later.
00:15:31No discussion.
00:15:32I want it settled here and now.
00:15:34All right, Louis.
00:15:36I'll put it to the vote.
00:15:37But understand this.
00:15:38No one is indispensable.
00:15:40And certainly not you.
00:15:43Only the plan is essential.
00:15:46The plan.
00:15:48This plan.
00:15:50My plan.
00:15:53Major.
00:15:54Yes.
00:15:54A word.
00:15:56If we don't use Mrs. W, if we call in someone else, we'll each have to take a smaller cut, eh?
00:16:02Yeah.
00:16:02I take your point.
00:16:04Yes, completely.
00:16:04We see eye to eye.
00:16:06I want her out of it.
00:16:08Two for her, one against.
00:16:09Harry?
00:16:10Well, I just don't think we can depend on a screwy old dame like that.
00:16:14It's up to you, one round, for your fine mind to decide.
00:16:17Uh, I don't, uh...
00:16:21You're going to leave a decision like this to a thick-eared moron?
00:16:24Well, I've got to vote, too, ain't I?
00:16:26I'm with you, Prof.
00:16:28Mum just got elected.
00:16:29Bravo.
00:16:30A majority decision to do the intelligent thing.
00:16:33And you accept it, Louis.
00:16:35Or pack your fiddle and play elsewhere.
00:16:37All right.
00:16:38All right.
00:16:40But you'd better worry about your plan, because her part in it sounds to me like...
00:16:47like something someone dreamt up in the booby hatch.
00:16:51Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:16:53What, Eddie, Prof, did you say?
00:16:59Now, shall I be mother?
00:17:02The train now arriving at Platform 1 is the 1-5 from Cape.
00:17:10One minute and...
00:17:1335 seconds late.
00:17:17One minute...
00:17:1935...
00:17:21late.
00:17:23Four policemen, two by bullion band doors.
00:17:29Two by train.
00:17:34And doors opened immediately.
00:17:40Train door opened.
00:17:44As first cases approach.
00:17:49Picture two.
00:17:53He's a-taking his time, isn't he?
00:17:58No, reconnaissance is the essential part of any campaign.
00:18:02And the Doc, the Professor, is never surpassed at that.
00:18:06He says something happens at quarter past three.
00:18:08It does, see?
00:18:09Catch me hooking up with an amateur.
00:18:11No chance.
00:18:12Yeah, see?
00:18:13Oh, no.
00:18:14Oh, excuse me, Major Courtney.
00:18:23Would you care for some tea?
00:18:28I thought perhaps you'd like some tea, Major Courtney.
00:18:31Uh, no, no, thank you, Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:18:36Please don't bother.
00:18:37Um, you English and your damn tea.
00:18:40Oh, I like tea.
00:18:41I could make some cocoa, if you prefer.
00:18:47Uh, no, no, thank you.
00:18:48You're very kind, but, uh, thank you.
00:18:50Yes, Mrs. Wilberforce?
00:18:58So sorry to bother you, Major.
00:19:01But before you start again, would one of you hold General Gordon for me?
00:19:06I beg your...
00:19:07Oh, the parrot!
00:19:10I have to give him his medicine, you see.
00:19:12It's very difficult to manage by myself.
00:19:15Mr. Robinson, would you mind giving Mrs. Wilberforce a hand?
00:19:21It's a pleasure, Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:19:24Lead me to him.
00:19:25If you three gentlemen will excuse me a tick.
00:19:28Tea, cocoa, mend the plumbing.
00:19:32Give the parrot his medicine.
00:19:33She will be the death of us.
00:19:36Ow! Ow!
00:19:37Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:19:39I do apologise.
00:19:40No, no, it's all right, Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:19:43No, it's nothing.
00:19:45I assure you, he's never bitten anyone before.
00:19:48A fact.
00:19:49Very nice.
00:19:51I wonder how we're to get him down.
00:19:53What?
00:19:54Well, from the top of the cabinet.
00:19:57Oh, you wicked boy!
00:19:58It's true, I was only trying to help.
00:20:00No, no, Miss Robinson, I...
00:20:02Oh, look at that finger.
00:20:04Oh, I'll get a band-aid.
00:20:06No!
00:20:06No, no, no, no, don't bother, Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:20:09It's all right.
00:20:10Ah, swab the deck!
00:20:11Swab the deck yourself, you filthy-looking toad.
00:20:15Is there a problem, Mrs. Wilberforce?
00:20:18We heard a cry.
00:20:20I'm so sorry, Major Courtney, but I'm afraid General Gordon has bitten Mr. Robinson's finger.
00:20:26Oh, dear.
00:20:28Now he's on top of the cabinet and refuses to come down.
00:20:32Mr. Robinson is on top of your cabinet?
00:20:35Oh, no, Mr. Harvey, General Gordon.
00:20:39Mr. Lawson, you're by far the tallest.
00:20:43Do you think you could try to get him down for us?
00:20:46For us?
00:20:47For us?
00:20:49Aye!
00:20:49Sure.
00:20:50I'll get him down, Mum.
00:20:52I feel I'm being such a bother.
00:20:55Ah!
00:20:55Yes, I've always been very fond of parrots.
00:21:02Yeah?
00:21:03All four were at sea for many years with my husband, you see.
00:21:07Not the only one at sea.
00:21:09And now there's just General Gordon left.
00:21:11Oh!
00:21:13Up there, next to the ship's bell.
00:21:15You've got something I can climb up on, Mum?
00:21:18Oh, no, ladders were something I could never...
00:21:20Oh, this chair.
00:21:23Though it's rather frail for a man of yours.
00:21:25Don't you worry.
00:21:26I'll get him down.
00:21:30Come here, Birdie.
00:21:32Repel, Mona!
00:21:33Birdie?
00:21:34It might be better not to hold on to the cabinet.
00:21:38That chair isn't as sound as if...
00:21:41Oh!
00:21:42Ah!
00:21:42Ah!
00:21:43Ah!
00:21:43Ah!
00:21:43Ah!
00:21:43Ah!
00:21:44Ah!
00:21:44Ah!
00:21:44Ah!
00:21:45Ah!
00:21:45Ah!
00:21:45Ah!
00:21:46Ah!
00:21:46Ah!
00:21:46Ah!
00:21:46Ah!
00:21:46Ah!
00:21:46Ah!
00:21:46Ah!
00:21:46Ah!
00:21:47Ah!
00:21:47Ah!
00:21:48Ah!
00:21:49Ah!
00:21:50Ah!
00:21:51Ah!
00:21:52Ah!
00:21:53Ah!
00:21:54Ah!
00:21:55Ah!
00:21:56Ah!
00:21:57Ah!
00:21:58Ah!
00:21:59Ah!
00:22:00Ah!
00:22:01Ah!
00:22:02Ah!
00:22:03Ah!
00:22:04Ah!
00:22:05Ah!
00:22:06Ah!
00:22:07Ah!
00:22:08Ah!
00:22:09Ah!
00:22:10Ah!
00:22:11Ah!
00:22:12Ah!
00:22:13Ah!
00:22:14Ah!
00:22:15Ah!
00:22:16Ah!
00:22:17Blue water ahead!
00:22:26Where?
00:22:28Major.
00:22:29I'm terribly sorry about opening the...
00:22:31Ah, there he is, at the window.
00:22:34Oh, dear.
00:22:35It'll be all right if you just tiptoe and stretch up your hand.
00:22:41But very quietly.
00:22:43He's terribly sensitive.
00:22:45Polly, Polly.
00:22:47General Gordon.
00:22:49Come on, then.
00:22:51Come on.
00:22:55Sorry about the chair.
00:22:57And one escaped paratom.
00:23:03Yes, there he is.
00:23:05Perched on top of the roof.
00:23:07Blimey.
00:23:08Do you have such a thing as a ladder, Mrs. Wilburforst?
00:23:11I'm afraid not.
00:23:12Then I don't really see...
00:23:14Hold on, look.
00:23:16Outside of Professor's window.
00:23:18There's the flat roof.
00:23:20You're right, dear boy.
00:23:21And from there, you could reach the top section of the roof.
00:23:24Hang on, what's this you?
00:23:25Well, I mean you, you're...
00:23:26Look, I'm wounded in the finger, see?
00:23:29Get him yourself.
00:23:30You really mustn't travel anymore.
00:23:32It was the last time I just telephoned the police.
00:23:35And they came round with a fire brigade and long ladders and everything.
00:23:38The police?
00:23:39No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, really.
00:23:42No, no, no need for that, Mrs. Wilburforst.
00:23:45We'll manage.
00:23:49Blast that bird.
00:23:51It's gone to the roof.
00:23:52I have to work with you and the three of you can't even catch a parrot.
00:23:56Then we can reach the roof through this window.
00:23:59Then along that fat bit...
00:24:01Oh, no.
00:24:03Louis doesn't chase any parrot.
00:24:05I don't care if he's a field marshal.
00:24:08Actually, he's a general.
00:24:10What?
00:24:11Come on, I'm...
00:24:13I'm not too keen on heights, you know.
00:24:16Oh, okay.
00:24:19Okay.
00:24:20But you help me.
00:24:37Good morning, Louis.
00:24:39Nice view from the roof.
00:24:43Good morning to you, General.
00:24:45You've been taking a spin, have you?
00:24:47Morning!
00:24:48Morning!
00:24:49Morning!
00:24:50Don't nibble my ear.
00:24:52That's a good chap.
00:25:04A delivery for you, madam.
00:25:06Why, there he is.
00:25:09Sound as a bell, Mrs. Wilburforst.
00:25:11Look at that.
00:25:12Straight onto her shoulder.
00:25:13That's nice, though.
00:25:15Good darling.
00:25:16He does so dislike taking his medicine.
00:25:19Oh, he's been so upset.
00:25:21I think I'll leave it till tomorrow.
00:25:23Is that all right with you, Mr. Robinson?
00:25:25No, I...
00:25:27Yeah, tomorrow.
00:25:29Professor, your gentleman's musical practice has been so interrupted.
00:25:33And I believe several are still on my roof.
00:25:37Would you like me to make...
00:25:38No.
00:25:39Thank you, Mrs. Wilburforst.
00:25:41No tea, thank you.
00:25:42All the same.
00:25:43There are several tricky passages we must really get a grip with before we are at performance pitch.
00:25:49How tricky, Professor.
00:25:51Oh, another fortnight should do it nicely.
00:25:54There.
00:26:14Oh, beware!
00:26:16What?
00:26:17Yes.
00:26:17Your assistance would be invaluable, but you are sure it is not inconvenient.
00:26:22Not at all, Professor.
00:26:24My time is my own.
00:26:26You're so kind.
00:26:27Naturally, I shall reimburse the taxi first.
00:26:30It will help me more than you could know in a particularly busy day.
00:26:35Oh, the time.
00:26:37Au revoir, Mrs. Wilburforst.
00:26:39Au revoir.
00:26:40This all right, Prof?
00:26:59Perfect.
00:26:59Perfect.
00:27:03One round, if you'd be so good as to stick this notice firmly to the phone box door.
00:27:08Out of order.
00:27:11Bravo.
00:27:13Uh, Professor, this phone box, it's important to your plan later on, right?
00:27:20That is correct.
00:27:21Well, if it's out of order, uh, don't worry about that one round.
00:27:29The Professor will have something up his sleeve.
00:27:32Right.
00:27:32All that ox has between his ears is muscle.
00:27:40And it's muscle duking to pain, Don.
00:27:42Thank you, Harry.
00:27:43I choose all my men with care.
00:27:45Me, you can't count, Don.
00:27:48Look.
00:27:50He stuck it on upside down.
00:27:52And now has corrected it.
00:27:58Sorry.
00:27:58Sorry.
00:28:02I think a moment's communion.
00:28:09Communion?
00:28:10Look.
00:28:11I let go let back it through.
00:28:14Gentlemen.
00:28:16I see that we are about to...
00:28:18bake a cake.
00:28:21Baking?
00:28:21What's he on about?
00:28:22Why, it's his way.
00:28:24A moment of start of every job, old chap.
00:28:26When he shares his overall vision.
00:28:28The man's a genius, but now he's a baker.
00:28:33You know your tasks to the second, but now know my vision.
00:28:38We are about to bake a cake.
00:28:40Louis drives the decoy getaway car, which, at the hit, is the bottom layer of the cake.
00:28:47Louis drives a cake.
00:28:48Shh.
00:28:48One Ryan and I are at the top of the cake in our taxi, to which we shall shortly transfer.
00:28:55And between us will be the jam, the bullion van, on its way to King's Cross Railway Station.
00:29:02Our oven is Ulysses Street, with the major slamming shut the oven door when he releases
00:29:08the handbrake on the, ready and park?
00:29:10Parked and ready, Professor.
00:29:11On the park lorry in the conveniently sloping side street.
00:29:16Slam.
00:29:17No way in or out.
00:29:19We provide the cake's bottom layer and the top layer, while a certain prosperous factory
00:29:25provides unwittingly the jam.
00:29:28My plan is foolproof, and we have generous minutes in which to be culinary.
00:29:32That is my vision, gentlemen.
00:29:37Let us bake.
00:29:39Bravo.
00:29:39Bravo.
00:29:52Louis, in the decoy car, forget driving gently.
00:29:55Cut in hard, so you're in front of the bullion van, just before it enters Ulysses Street.
00:29:59And when you swerve sideways to block the street in front of it, do it suddenly.
00:30:04You think I've forgotten all this?
00:30:06Then you will forgive this reminder from a pedantic perfectionist.
00:30:10One round.
00:30:11Yeah?
00:30:11Our taxi has to cut in immediately behind the bullion van, at the same moment Louis cuts
00:30:17in, in front.
00:30:18No problem.
00:30:19I'll just drive it like a taxi.
00:30:22Very good.
00:30:22Except, when we filled the trunk with the money cases and loaded it onto the taxi, you
00:30:28then drive it away as steadily as a, as a hearse.
00:30:32Got you, prof.
00:30:34I've done hearses.
00:30:35Major.
00:30:36Yeah, I'm ready.
00:30:37When you release the handbrake on the lorry, it will take eight seconds before it hits the
00:30:42wall and seals off Ulysses Street behind us.
00:30:44Yes, I've got that.
00:30:45At the speed Louis will be holding in front, you must release the handbrake as his car
00:30:50passes the end of the side street any later and it could allow any traffic following our
00:30:54taxi to slip through.
00:30:55I'll be spot on.
00:30:57When the money becomes ours, Louis, no attention must be drawn to our sedately departing taxi
00:31:02so you will drive the decoy car away like a bat out of hell.
00:31:07Your English phrases.
00:31:10What is that supposed to mean?
00:31:13Like a man with a great deal of stolen money in his possession.
00:31:17Harry, a small detail.
00:31:18Yeah.
00:31:19For a British Railway Porter's uniform, your buttons are a shade bright.
00:31:24Dirt them down a bit, that's a good chance.
00:31:26I'll see what you mean, yeah.
00:31:29And I am starting the stopwatch.
00:31:33Now, first tick.
00:31:37Once we leave this car, we get the timing right or we don't.
00:31:47True, Louis.
00:31:48But think of this clipboard as an examination paper.
00:31:52Examination?
00:31:53For what?
00:31:55Let's say who will work for me again.
00:31:57Oh, good.
00:31:58Very good.
00:31:59Very good.
00:32:00Yeah.
00:32:01Ready, gentlemen.
00:32:02And Major to start his walk to lorry.
00:32:07Five, four, three, two, one, go.
00:32:11See you, chaps, later.
00:32:17Tick two.
00:32:18Ready, Louis.
00:32:28Let's bake a cake.
00:32:29Oh, ready.
00:32:31And five, four, three, two, one, go.
00:32:42And good cooking.
00:32:44And tick.
00:33:01Tick tock, eh, Professor?
00:33:03That's it, Harry.
00:33:03Tick tock.
00:33:05Ready for your very brief period of employment as a railway porter?
00:33:08Brief order better.
00:33:10Splendid.
00:33:10The token gun, please, Harry.
00:33:12Yeah.
00:33:15I'd better do up that top button on the raincoat.
00:33:18Just a touch of uniform still showing.
00:33:20Right, yeah.
00:33:20Right.
00:33:21And six, five, four, three, two, one, go.
00:33:30Cheerio, then.
00:33:38What would you make of that Louis, Professor?
00:33:40Seems, well, edgy to me.
00:33:44Which is why he'll make a very convincing job of driving the decoy car away.
00:33:49And why he and his cosh can be counted on to persuade the bullion driver to take a short but rather convincing nap.
00:33:55Don't worry about the driver's mate, Professor.
00:33:58I'll only do a forty-winks job with me fist.
00:34:02That will do nicely.
00:34:03Now, I think it's time for us to take a taxi.
00:34:07And look, there's one part conveniently in front of us.
00:34:11Now, I'm not going to be very long, General Gordon, so you don't worry.
00:34:20Just a small errand of mercy to run for the Professor.
00:34:23Mercy!
00:34:24Mercy!
00:34:24Mercy!
00:34:25Where did I put that umbrella?
00:34:28How much longer, Professor?
00:34:36Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, voila.
00:34:45Dick.
00:34:45One round, I see a bullion van in our mirror.
00:34:50If it'd be so good as to engage gear.
00:34:52And as soon as it goes, bye.
00:34:57Now.
00:35:01Excellent.
00:35:06Clear in front of Louis.
00:35:07And, uh, quite a good gap behind.
00:35:12Good.
00:35:15Right.
00:35:17Ulysses Street coming up.
00:35:20And turn in.
00:35:22And there's the Major already reaching into the lorry's handbrake.
00:35:26Tick.
00:35:27Excellent.
00:35:29Couple of cars turning in behind us, Prof.
00:35:31Mm-hmm.
00:35:33Not to worry.
00:35:35There's a decent gap.
00:35:37And the lorry should be starting to roll.
00:35:39Four.
00:35:40Three.
00:35:41Two.
00:35:42One.
00:35:43Now.
00:35:46Now.
00:35:48Come on, Major.
00:35:50Now.
00:35:52Come on.
00:35:53Oh.
00:35:54Damn.
00:35:55Break.
00:35:58Go.
00:36:02Car's behind closing up, Prof.
00:36:05What'll we do?
00:36:07Yes.
00:36:08Will you give way?
00:36:13Ah-ha!
00:36:26We shall bake a cake one round.
00:36:29Our oven door is closed.
00:36:31Now fall back just a little.
00:36:35The van will break sharply when Louis locks them in.
00:36:39Five.
00:36:40Four.
00:36:41Three.
00:36:43No.
00:36:47Impatient van.
00:36:49Modified dick.
00:36:51And to work.
00:36:52Pull up your mask.
00:36:53Oh, right.
00:36:54Oh, right.
00:37:00Oi!
00:37:01Shift that car.
00:37:02We want to get past here.
00:37:03If you take his mate.
00:37:04Yeah.
00:37:06Hey!
00:37:07What are you...
00:37:07It is very loaded.
00:37:09Out!
00:37:09Hey!
00:37:11Oh!
00:37:12Thank you, Louis.
00:37:14Always keen.
00:37:15Oof!
00:37:16Spot on 40 wins for his mate.
00:37:19Crowbar.
00:37:19Here.
00:37:20Here.
00:37:20Do the bottom hinge first.
00:37:22One round.
00:37:31Cutters.
00:37:33Cut the grill close to the lock.
00:37:39What's happening back there?
00:37:40There's a smaller crowd.
00:37:42They're trying to push the lorry clear.
00:37:44Are they succeeding, Louis?
00:37:45Not yet, but others are helping.
00:37:47Aye!
00:37:48One of them's a copper.
00:37:49I see.
00:37:50Nice work one round.
00:37:52Keep it steady.
00:37:56Pass the cases out one at a time and...
00:37:58They're starting to move in the lorry.
00:38:01Someone's looking down this way.
00:38:03They can't see anything until we drive away.
00:38:05Now open the trunk and place the cases in.
00:38:07Time to leave, gentlemen.
00:38:19And Louis...
00:38:20I know.
00:38:20Like your owl out of hell.
00:38:22Like a bat, Louis.
00:38:34Say like a bat.
00:38:36King's Cross Station, please.
00:38:38And do mind the luggage.
00:38:40Like a nurse.
00:38:40But this facility will be available for passengers joining the train and all other stations beyond that point.
00:39:01Keep the change.
00:39:03Uh, tar.
00:39:04Tar very much.
00:39:05And three, two, one.
00:39:08Ah, porter.
00:39:10Just this one trunk?
00:39:11What you are.
00:39:18Slower, Harry.
00:39:20Remember, you're working for the Great British Railways.
00:39:23All right.
00:39:29The train platform north is at 1-5 from Cambridge.
00:39:35Splendid.
00:39:36See you shortly, Harry.
00:39:38Bye-bye.
00:39:45This the parcels from Cambridge, then?
00:39:46Stick on with the rest, mate.
00:40:03Stand now to part for platform...
00:40:05Look, I'm sorry, Sergeant.
00:40:08Detective.
00:40:09It's the only way we'll...
00:40:10Detective or not, you can't hold up trains in a mainline station.
00:40:15It'll disorganise the entire network.
00:40:18It's chaos.
00:40:18But we're certain they're in here with the money.
00:40:21The getaway car was found abandoned and empty a few minutes ago in Field Street.
00:40:24They're just outside, I know.
00:40:26But I can't stop the trains.
00:40:29Anyway, they could have gone somewhere else.
00:40:31Not the way we've got the area sealed off.
00:40:41Telephone's still out of order.
00:40:42How convenient.
00:40:43And five, four, three, two, one.
00:41:02Tick.
00:41:03Major?
00:41:05Here, Professor.
00:41:06You have a clear view of the station entrance?
00:41:08Quite clear.
00:41:09Splendid.
00:41:11Mrs. W's taxi should be coming into view just about...
00:41:14Now.
00:41:24Here you are, ma'am.
00:41:25King's Cross.
00:41:26Thank you, driver.
00:41:28I wonder if you wouldn't mind waiting a few minutes for me to take me back.
00:41:34No trouble at all.
00:41:38Very well.
00:41:39As stationmaster on your head be it.
00:41:41Oh, no.
00:41:42Oh, but it would be if I stopped the trains.
00:41:46Anything else?
00:41:46How many pieces of luggage have you booked in in the last ten to fifteen minutes?
00:41:50I wouldn't have a clue.
00:41:52Ask that clerk over there.
00:41:54He'll know.
00:41:55You!
00:41:57How much luggage have you booked in in the last ten...
00:41:59What's into you?
00:42:00Police.
00:42:01Oh?
00:42:02Coming in or going out?
00:42:03Going out, dimwit.
00:42:05Leaving by train.
00:42:06All right.
00:42:06Keep your hair on.
00:42:07I wonder if you can help me.
00:42:10I'm looking for a...
00:42:11Oh, I'm here.
00:42:14There's your sign.
00:42:15Just a tick, lady.
00:42:16Luggage going out.
00:42:17I'll have to check.
00:42:18It's a trunk.
00:42:19Professor Marcus, who lodges with me, is having a trunk sent up from...
00:42:23Where was it?
00:42:24Cambridge.
00:42:25Madam, I'm on very urgent police business.
00:42:27He's leaving today, and he's so busy that he asked me...
00:42:31Of course, lady.
00:42:32Let's see.
00:42:33From Cambridge.
00:42:35Name of Marcus.
00:42:37Oh!
00:42:38Yeah, here it is.
00:42:39Will you sign for it, please, Mum?
00:42:41That's it.
00:42:42Glad to help.
00:42:43Now let me get a porter for you.
00:42:46I'm waiting to make a tick, Major.
00:42:48Tick away.
00:42:49She's coming out now.
00:42:52And?
00:42:52And a porter's got our trunk.
00:43:02A taxi's driving away.
00:43:04Trunk safely on board.
00:43:06To be stopped at the police check, which I assume is now in place, hmm?
00:43:10Absolutely.
00:43:12Oh, good Lord.
00:43:14Now, a policeman's opened the door to have a word with her.
00:43:17And why shouldn't he?
00:43:19Keep calm, Major.
00:43:20Trust my judgment.
00:43:21Sorry to bother you, Madam, but...
00:43:28Oh, dear.
00:43:30No, I know what this is all about.
00:43:33How could you?
00:43:34Amelia and that wretched spaceship.
00:43:37I'm so sorry.
00:43:38I explained it all to the sergeant at the station,
00:43:41and he assured me that wheels wouldn't turn,
00:43:44but it seems, oh, dear, that they have.
00:43:47What a waste of time.
00:43:48It was the wireless, you see.
00:43:49Actually, that's, uh, that's, that's quite all right.
00:43:53Sorry to have helped you up, Madam.
00:43:55Well, I'm blessed.
00:44:08I don't know what she said, but they couldn't wave her through quickly enough.
00:44:12Blessed, Mrs. W.
00:44:14Verify that she's clear,
00:44:16and we'll follow her back to the house at a discrete distance when she passes us.
00:44:20The taxi's approaching the roundabout.
00:44:23Mm-hmm.
00:44:23It's going around it, and now it's...
00:44:26You...
00:44:27Oh, oh, no.
00:44:29Well?
00:44:29Well, it...
00:44:29It...
00:44:30It...
00:44:30It...
00:44:31It...
00:44:31Major, speak.
00:44:33The taxi's gone right around the roundabout,
00:44:36and it...
00:44:36It's coming back.
00:44:37What?
00:44:39It's pulled up the entrance again.
00:44:41She's walking back into the station.
00:44:43It's crawling with police.
00:44:46What?
00:44:46What is that woman doing?
00:44:50What is it?
00:44:52What's going on?
00:44:52God.
00:44:53Give me the phone.
00:44:54You will let go.
00:44:55Wait, you...
00:44:56Major, Major, let go.
00:44:59What's all this about?
00:45:01Give us a listen, no way.
00:45:02Will you give me that phone?
00:45:05Hey, what's going on?
00:45:07These fools, they've broken my line of communication.
00:45:10Right.
00:45:15There you are, Prof.
00:45:16Thank you, one round.
00:45:21Major.
00:45:22Major!
00:45:23But, hello, hello.
00:45:26She's...
00:45:26She's walking out again.
00:45:28She's getting back into the taxi.
00:45:30She...
00:45:30She'd forgotten her umbrella.
00:45:33She could have shopped us all, silly old.
00:45:41What are you knocking her for?
00:45:42She's got the lolly for us, ain't she?
00:45:44We're nearly home now, Louis.
00:45:45Nothing can possibly go wrong.
00:45:49What's she stopped for?
00:45:51And right outside the nick.
00:45:53Keep calm, everybody.
00:45:56Blimey, she's marching over to that fruit barrow,
00:45:58waving her bully like a sword.
00:46:00What's her game now?
00:46:01Knowing Mrs. W., I fear it may be something to do with that horse eating most of the produce,
00:46:05or more particularly, that barrow boy hitting it over the head with a grapefruit.
00:46:08Stop that at once!
00:46:09What are you doing to that horse?
00:46:11Get out of it!
00:46:12Leave my...
00:46:12It's your horse, Mrs.?
00:46:14It doesn't matter whose it is.
00:46:16You have no right to treat it like that.
00:46:18No right!
00:46:19No right!
00:46:19He's had three pounds of my best pippings,
00:46:21plus whatever else takes his fancy.
00:46:23Shoo!
00:46:23Get out of it!
00:46:24Will you leave that horse alone?
00:46:26Don't prop me with that brolly, Mrs.
00:46:28Whose horse is it?
00:46:29Clear off!
00:46:30Get her!
00:46:31Driver, I insist you do something to stop this vicious brute.
00:46:35Listen, lady, this ain't no business of mine.
00:46:37I shouldn't really have left the cab.
00:46:39So keep out of it and get this old witch out of here.
00:46:41You brute!
00:46:42Ow!
00:46:43Now look, you, if you prop me again...
00:46:45Now, don't you threaten her.
00:46:46Oh no!
00:46:47Oh no!
00:46:48All right, my business goes down some nags cob, is it?
00:46:50Oh, I only said...
00:46:51This your taxi, is it?
00:46:52Yeah.
00:46:52Your business premises, is it?
00:46:54Right!
00:46:55Hey!
00:46:56What do you think you're doing?
00:46:57All right, horse!
00:46:58I'm what's your leg now!
00:46:59You're judging it!
00:46:59I'm sorry!
00:47:01This rough here must be in the...
00:47:03Are you doing some great stuff?
00:47:04Right, you stay over there.
00:47:06You get back to your cab!
00:47:07The boogies!
00:47:08I knew it!
00:47:09Let's get out of here!
00:47:10No, slowly, honey.
00:47:12Just drive round the corner for a while and then we'll come back.
00:47:15All the ladies!
00:47:17I hate all the ladies!
00:47:19It's not the men who have heard of us!
00:47:22It doesn't matter.
00:47:22That's good.
00:47:24That's really true.
00:47:25It's dangerous.
00:47:26Where's everybody gone?
00:47:34I suspect inside to help the police with their inquiries.
00:47:37How'd they get the horse in?
00:47:39Prof, tell me I don't see that.
00:47:41I'm rather afraid you do, Harry. Our trunk of money.
00:47:45On the front steps of the police station.
00:47:48It's just sitting there. Couldn't we go and...
00:47:50No one, I hope, is going to suggest that we steal it.
00:47:57Drive round for a while, Harry. I need to reconsider.
00:48:08Well, Professor, have you hatched another brilliant plan yet?
00:48:13Look, Louis.
00:48:13Stop the car.
00:48:16There's the Major.
00:48:19Thank goodness.
00:48:21Thank goodness I stopped you in time.
00:48:23Before what, Major?
00:48:25Before you went back to the house.
00:48:26I was just approaching it myself a few minutes ago,
00:48:29when I saw two policemen leaving it,
00:48:31and Mrs. W waving them happily goodbye.
00:48:35Major, two policemen entering a house might well be a matter for our concern.
00:48:40Two policemen being waved from it happily could be quite otherwise.
00:48:45You English.
00:48:46Where to now, Professor?
00:48:50Home, Harry.
00:48:52Home.
00:48:52Home.
00:48:56Ah, Professor.
00:49:01Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:49:02Good afternoon, gentlemen.
00:49:04Your last rehearsal here.
00:49:07Possibly.
00:49:08Possibly.
00:49:09Oh, how did you manage with the little task you were going to have with?
00:49:14All done.
00:49:16There it is.
00:49:16What?
00:49:21But, how on earth?
00:49:23You're drunk.
00:49:24Safe and sound.
00:49:25It's impossible.
00:49:26Just sit in there.
00:49:28Well, I'm afraid it was beyond me to carry it upstairs to your room.
00:49:32You had no problems?
00:49:36To be honest, a slight one on the way home.
00:49:38But two nice policemen from the station brought it here for me in their car.
00:49:44Oh!
00:49:45In a police car!
00:49:48Open the trunk, Harry.
00:49:58Tell.
00:49:59And four silver nest eggs.
00:50:13Which one first, Major?
00:50:15Oh!
00:50:15Well, um, I rather fancy the look of that one.
00:50:21One round.
00:50:22If you are persuaded to become unlocked, please.
00:50:25Right.
00:50:26Should I lift the lid?
00:50:34Oh, my God.
00:50:36Patience.
00:50:37If you'll be so kind, one round.
00:50:42Cool.
00:50:43What about that?
00:50:46How about that indeed?
00:50:49Louis, Major, help me transfer the notes to the instrument cases.
00:50:53Harry.
00:50:53Yeah?
00:50:53Stand by the door, in case Mrs. W decides to leap in with another tray of tea.
00:51:11Well, that seems to be everything.
00:51:15Mrs. Wilberforce, our musical tour awaits.
00:51:18You know, I was hoping you'd be able to play for my friends.
00:51:22They'll be so disappointed to have missed you by just a few minutes.
00:51:25Alas.
00:51:26Are the performance obligations.
00:51:28Got to get my cello prof, Essel, up there.
00:51:31Oh, dear.
00:51:32Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:51:34Goodbye, Major Corley.
00:51:36And I wish you good fortune.
00:51:38Oh, yes.
00:51:38Thank you, dear lady.
00:51:40Goodbye, madam.
00:51:42Goodbye, gentlemen.
00:51:44Come on.
00:51:45Come on.
00:51:45Come on, man.
00:51:47Oh.
00:51:48Come on.
00:51:50Come on.
00:51:54Come on.
00:51:56The sooner we're clear of that old...
00:51:58Now then, Louis.
00:52:00She served us very well.
00:52:02Very well indeed.
00:52:04Where is one, man?
00:52:05Bringing down a rather valuable cello case.
00:52:07Mr. Lawson, when I was listening to your playing of that Andante passage a while ago,
00:52:19I thought it the most sensitive playing I've ever heard.
00:52:25Sorry.
00:52:26You thought it was good, eh?
00:52:28Yes.
00:52:29Oh, yes, indeed.
00:52:32Bye-bye, Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:52:35Thanks for the nice tea and everything.
00:52:37Not at all.
00:52:39Goodbye.
00:52:46What's that moron playing at?
00:52:49Why is he just standing by the door?
00:52:51It's the strap on the case.
00:52:53It's stuck in the door.
00:52:57Well, ring the bell, brains.
00:52:59Don't try and pull it out.
00:53:03Careful, you'll break the case open.
00:53:07Oh, Mr. Lawson.
00:53:13What ever's happened to your cello case?
00:53:17And what is all...
00:53:19That's it.
00:53:20She's seen the money.
00:53:22Oh, Margot.
00:53:23Everybody out.
00:53:24Get that money quickly.
00:53:25It's all right, Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:53:38Everything's under control.
00:53:41Shut the door, Major.
00:53:42But what is all that money?
00:53:44It must do something.
00:53:45She knows.
00:53:46She saw the money.
00:53:48Is that the lot?
00:53:50Yeah, that's it.
00:53:51Dear Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:53:56Professor Marcus, I don't understand what is going on.
00:54:00Of course.
00:54:02May we come in?
00:54:03You're wondering about the money in Mr. Lawson's cello case.
00:54:09Certainly natural, but you sure?
00:54:11Mr. Lawson sold his butcher's shop in Hammersmith.
00:54:17That's right, I did.
00:54:18And he got cash for it because there wasn't time to write a check.
00:54:23I still don't quite understand.
00:54:25We must get her out of here.
00:54:27Snatch.
00:54:28Get her into the car.
00:54:29Good afternoon, Louisa.
00:54:36Amelia.
00:54:38Oh, a tea party.
00:54:40Oh, yes.
00:54:41Do come in.
00:54:44These are the tea.
00:54:45You were able to stay to tea after all.
00:54:49We'll have to take them both.
00:54:50We've got to get away.
00:54:55Constance.
00:54:56Good afternoon.
00:54:58How are you?
00:54:59I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:55:01Or am I early?
00:55:03Oh, Amelia.
00:55:04You're here.
00:55:06Let me present these gentlemen.
00:55:08This is Professor Marcus.
00:55:10Oh, how wonderful.
00:55:12What do we do?
00:55:13What do we do?
00:55:13Shut up the bus.
00:55:14How do you do?
00:55:15How do you do?
00:55:18Let us here.
00:55:20Come in.
00:55:20We're going to need a double-decker.
00:55:22Louisa, dear.
00:55:24Have you seen the evening papers?
00:55:26Look, there's been a terrible robbery at King's Cross Station.
00:55:32At one o'clock this afternoon, the paper says...
00:55:35Oh, have you a paper?
00:55:38May I see the latest test score, please?
00:55:42A robbery at King's Cross Station.
00:55:46Why, I was there.
00:55:47What is the score?
00:55:51Australia, at all I've heard.
00:55:52£60,000.
00:55:56At one o'clock?
00:55:59I mean, 310.
00:56:01Out of the 310.
00:56:02And the police say they can't tell how the money was taken from the station.
00:56:08Can't they?
00:56:09Ladies, ladies, please, do you mind stepping into the drawing room for a few minutes.
00:56:18I have something of a very private nature to say to these gentlemen.
00:56:24But I want to talk to Major Court.
00:56:25Just for the moment, Constance.
00:56:28Professor Marcus, I take it there's no need for me to look at the newspaper?
00:56:45Madam.
00:56:47I thought not.
00:56:49I am shocked by this revelation.
00:56:52Shocked and appalled.
00:56:54And I must tell you, all of you...
00:56:56Oh, Louisa, you've only laid four places.
00:57:00Surely these gentlemen are staying to tea.
00:57:02Yes, in a moment, Constance.
00:57:04Please.
00:57:05We'll bring our own questions.
00:57:08Well, there's nothing for it.
00:57:10You'll have to come in.
00:57:12But these are some of my oldest friends.
00:57:14They mustn't get the slightest inking of this disgraceful affair.
00:57:19This is most embarrassing.
00:57:21Embarrassing.
00:57:22And humiliating.
00:57:24Simply try for one hour to behave like gentlemen.
00:57:29All right, Mum.
00:57:30You peddle the pianola beautifully, Professor.
00:57:50Do I?
00:57:52Do I?
00:57:53I don't believe this is happening.
00:58:02Right, son.
00:58:03Yes, my darling, you will be, you will be, always young and fair to me.
00:58:11Yes, my darling, you will be, always young and fair to me.
00:58:24Goodbye, ladies.
00:58:34Goodbye.
00:58:36Goodbye.
00:58:36Goodbye.
00:58:43I thought they'd never go home.
00:58:46Those cups, please, Major.
00:58:48You're coming.
00:58:48It would do no good to take the money back, Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:58:53Nobody wants the money back, you see.
00:58:55This particular shipment of money was insured.
00:58:58Will you dry?
00:58:59Will I what?
00:58:59Oh, yeah.
00:59:00So, now the insurance company simply pays to the factory £60,000, and then, in order
00:59:07to recover its money, it puts a farthing on all the premiums, on all the policies for
00:59:12the next year.
00:59:13So, how much harm have we done anybody?
00:59:16One farthing's worth, Mrs. Wilberforce.
00:59:19I never thought of it like that.
00:59:20Shut up, you fool.
00:59:22But surely it can't be as simple as all that.
00:59:25If we tried to take the money back now, it would simply confuse the whole issue.
00:59:30They wouldn't even take it back.
00:59:32That's perfectly true.
00:59:33Oh, but this is quite ridiculous.
00:59:35And has it occurred to you to wonder why five such men as ourselves should have been driven
00:59:39to this?
00:59:40Well, I did.
00:59:41There is not one amongst us, alas, who is not burdened with enormous responsibilities to
00:59:46others.
00:59:48Major?
00:59:48Yes?
00:59:49Tell her.
00:59:50Tell her your own story.
00:59:52All right.
00:59:53What?
00:59:53Oh, no.
00:59:54Please, please.
00:59:55Really?
00:59:56Claude.
00:59:57Yeah.
00:59:57All right.
00:59:57At this very moment, Mrs. Wilberforce, there is waiting an invalid, a dear, sweet old lady,
01:00:09not, may heaven bless her, not unlike yourself, waiting with patient serenity, but with high
01:00:17hope that she has nothing more to fear of unpaid doctor's bills.
01:00:23Mrs. Wilberforce, I wanted to spare you this, but I'm afraid the police are out of the way.
01:00:35Mrs. Wilberforce, I wanted to spare you this, but I'm afraid the police are after you, too.
01:00:54You're as hot as the rest of us, ma'am.
01:00:56As hot?
01:00:57If they pick her up, there's no saying what they might do to her.
01:01:02Pick me up?
01:01:04Would you mind explaining?
01:01:08Job planned in her house.
01:01:10And she carried the lolly for us.
01:01:13I know I carried the lolly, but I...
01:01:17Oh, this is ridiculous.
01:01:18I shall deny any knowledge.
01:01:21She'll never stand up to it, of course.
01:01:22The grilling, the bubba hoses.
01:01:24The rest of her life sewing mailbags.
01:01:27Mailbags?
01:01:28And no one to look after General Gordon.
01:01:31Oh.
01:01:32If they get us, I'll tell them she planned the job, and I'll tell them she planned the big one.
01:01:39Oh.
01:01:40The East Castle Street job.
01:01:44Oh, dear, dear.
01:01:45What am I going to do?
01:01:47Check that.
01:01:58It's a bogey!
01:01:59A bogey?
01:02:01Quick, out the back way.
01:02:02She's got to answer it.
01:02:03The lights are on.
01:02:04Listen to me, Mrs Wilberforce.
01:02:05Go to the door.
01:02:07Ask him what he wants.
01:02:08Yes.
01:02:09If he asks about me, say I left this afternoon for Manchester.
01:02:13Manchester?
01:02:14Don't let him in.
01:02:15He can't come in without a search warrant.
01:02:16If you don't want to rot and stir for the rest of your life, stay buttoned up.
01:02:23Buttoned up?
01:02:25Yes.
01:02:30Yes?
01:02:31Evening, Mrs Wilberforce.
01:02:33What do you want?
01:02:34It's Sergeant MacDonald.
01:02:36I know who it is.
01:02:37What do you want?
01:02:38Well, just to let you know, we've sorted out that rumpus, the horse and taxi business.
01:02:43You'll not be wanted.
01:02:44I won't be wanted.
01:02:45I won't come in.
01:02:46I'm all wet.
01:02:47You can't come in.
01:02:49I'm going to bed early.
01:02:51Professor Mark has left this afternoon for Manchester.
01:02:54You can't come in without a search warrant.
01:02:56Search warrant, ma'am?
01:02:58You haven't got a search warrant, have you?
01:03:00No, ma'am.
01:03:02Then good night.
01:03:03What has she done?
01:03:07Oh, dear.
01:03:08Don't let him in.
01:03:09Just tell him to buzz off.
01:03:13You're quite sure you're all right, Mrs Wilberforce?
01:03:16Of course.
01:03:17Now, will you please buzz off?
01:03:21Is that all right?
01:03:22Get your instrument cases ready.
01:03:27As soon as he's cleared the street, we'll go.
01:03:31Madam, a piece of advice.
01:03:34Don't go near a police station, any police station, ever again.
01:03:38Just lie low and stay buttoned up, understand?
01:03:43Surely you don't intend to take the money.
01:03:46We must send it back.
01:03:48No, not again.
01:03:49I agree we must stay low and buttoned up, but it wouldn't be right to keep the money.
01:03:55Now, listen.
01:03:57And with both ears, we've had all we're going to take from you.
01:04:02No.
01:04:03It isn't any good.
01:04:05I know I carried the lolly for you, but even if they do make me so mailbags,
01:04:10I would rather go to the police station and give myself up.
01:04:15Now, I really must sit down.
01:04:19Gentlemen, let us retire to my rooms.
01:04:38Well, come on.
01:04:41Decide.
01:04:42She could be putting on her coat right now.
01:04:44It ought to look like an accident.
01:04:47Who's going to do it?
01:04:49Oh, no, no, no.
01:04:50I simply couldn't.
01:04:52I'd be terrified of muffing it.
01:04:55I mean, say...
01:04:56Someone experienced.
01:05:00Why look at me?
01:05:01You've told her so often that you hate little old ladies.
01:05:03And why not you?
01:05:05You're the one who masterminded this lunatic mess.
01:05:09What did you say?
01:05:11You...
01:05:12If we are going to the police station, Professor, we ought to go now.
01:05:19Well, we'd sooner not go now.
01:05:21Oh, not in this rain.
01:05:23It's Mr. Harvey here.
01:05:24He's got a bit of a bad chest.
01:05:27A what?
01:05:27A bit of a bad chest.
01:05:29Oh.
01:05:30Oh, very well.
01:05:34As soon as the rain stops.
01:05:37But I think in the meantime, I'd better lock these instrument cases away in the bedroom.
01:05:42Out of temptation.
01:05:44Would you please bring them through?
01:05:48Gentlemen.
01:05:48We should have done it while she was up here.
01:05:58One round.
01:05:59The bedroom door, if you please.
01:06:06I'm obliged.
01:06:07Now, we'll settle this the old way.
01:06:10Louis, if you cup one of these matches in half.
01:06:18Choose.
01:06:23Harry.
01:06:28Oh, thank God.
01:06:31One round.
01:06:34Boo.
01:06:36That's a long match.
01:06:38One round.
01:06:39It's between you and Louis, Major.
01:06:41Oh.
01:06:42Oh, dear.
01:06:43Oh, I...
01:06:44Oh, no.
01:06:47No.
01:06:47I won't.
01:06:49I can't.
01:06:50Come along, Major.
01:06:51Enough of that.
01:06:53All right.
01:06:54Louis, put that away.
01:06:56I'll do it.
01:06:57But not down there.
01:06:59Not in front of the parent.
01:07:01For God's sake.
01:07:02You all go down and send her up.
01:07:05Then I'll...
01:07:06Then I...
01:07:07Yes, I will.
01:07:08Yes.
01:07:08Yes.
01:07:09Don't take too long about it.
01:07:15Oh, my goodness.
01:07:15Goodness.
01:07:17I've got to be quick about it.
01:07:29Mrs. Wilberforce.
01:07:31Oh, good.
01:07:32You're here.
01:07:33Shall we go?
01:07:34Oh, now, now.
01:07:35Where's my umbrella?
01:07:37Uh, first.
01:07:39Major Courtney would like to speak to you privately, if you don't mind.
01:07:43Upstairs.
01:07:44But what can you...
01:07:45I think you'll find he has the solution to all our problems.
01:07:49It won't take a minute.
01:07:50One moment.
01:08:02Come in.
01:08:06What is it you wish to see me about?
01:08:09Madam, listen carefully.
01:08:12They have no intention of letting you take them to the police.
01:08:15Oh, but Professor Marcus...
01:08:17He was lying.
01:08:19At this very moment, they believe me to be...
01:08:21To be bargaining for your silence.
01:08:26But that's disgraceful.
01:08:27These men are criminals.
01:08:31And I, too, am one of them.
01:08:33Alas, yet a spark of decency remains.
01:08:37I was moved, madam, by your appeal.
01:08:39I, myself, shall go to the police.
01:08:43Right now.
01:08:47But I shall need your help.
01:08:50My help?
01:08:51Stay here.
01:08:53Guard the money.
01:08:54Give me time to reach the officers of the law.
01:08:59And, uh...
01:09:00Bring them back with me.
01:09:02Yes, but...
01:09:03What's taking him so long?
01:09:08Be quiet.
01:09:09Major.
01:09:14Major.
01:09:18Still here.
01:09:20Be quiet.
01:09:21I'm still talking to Major Courtney.
01:09:23Wait downstairs.
01:09:24What's he playing at?
01:09:27Let me pass.
01:09:30He's gone.
01:09:32He's crossed us.
01:09:34The lolly's gone.
01:09:35What?
01:09:36He's packed it all into a cello case and scarped us to the window.
01:09:38I'm going to stay buttoned up.
01:09:42He must be still on the roof.
01:09:43Harry, cover the backyard.
01:09:45One round, cover the front.
01:09:47Louis, get out of the window after him.
01:09:49Do whatever is necessary.
01:09:51I have nothing to say.
01:09:58Come on down, you old fool.
01:10:05Go.
01:10:06Go.
01:10:06Go away.
01:10:08There's no other way down.
01:10:11Slide the case down to me.
01:10:14No.
01:10:15No.
01:10:16No.
01:10:16Then it's just you and me, Major.
01:10:20Leave me alone.
01:10:22Leave me alone.
01:10:23I warn you.
01:10:25You warn Louis with a chimney pot behind you.
01:10:29And this in front.
01:10:32Here's the money.
01:10:41I didn't mean to drop it.
01:10:45Louis.
01:10:46Louis.
01:10:51Well fielded, Harry.
01:10:53Professor Marcus.
01:10:55No tea, thank you, Mrs.
01:10:56Wilberforce.
01:10:58I mean.
01:10:59What are you all doing?
01:11:01Where did you get that cello case?
01:11:03It just fell from up to...
01:11:04I'll have that, Mr.
01:11:06Robinson.
01:11:07I gave Mrs.
01:11:08Wilberforce our word that no attempt will be made to remove the money.
01:11:13Shall we all go in?
01:11:18Pirates!
01:11:19Now, please place it in this chest, Professor.
01:11:24It'll be safer down here.
01:11:28Quite.
01:11:31And I'll keep the key in my pocket.
01:11:37Whatever's that?
01:11:39I'll expect something fell from the roof, now.
01:11:41See what it is, Harry.
01:11:44Oh, I really must sit down.
01:11:47It's long past my bedtime, and I've had a most exhausting day.
01:11:53The police will be here shortly.
01:11:57We'll talk about it all.
01:11:59All this, then.
01:12:00Shall we?
01:12:01Hmm.
01:12:07Well?
01:12:08Where's the Major?
01:12:09Still up there?
01:12:10No, no.
01:12:10He, uh...
01:12:11He come down.
01:12:12Well, bring him in.
01:12:13He come down with a chimney pot.
01:12:16Is he hurt?
01:12:17I shouldn't think he felt a thing.
01:12:26Go on, one round.
01:12:28Choose a match.
01:12:29No.
01:12:30I've changed my mind.
01:12:32I ain't gonna do it.
01:12:34What?
01:12:34You're in this just as much as us.
01:12:36Too late now to have a mind to change, one round.
01:12:39Listen, I took my chances last time we drew, didn't I?
01:12:42I'm all being stupid.
01:12:43Okay, I'm stupid.
01:12:45But nobody touches Mrs. W.
01:12:46Nobody.
01:12:49Maybe one round is right.
01:12:51What?
01:12:53Anyway, the first thing to do is to lose the poor old Major.
01:12:56There's a wheelbarrow in the shed one round.
01:12:59Would you mind taking him to the backyard?
01:13:01What for?
01:13:02To convey the Major to the bridge at the back.
01:13:04He has a train to catch.
01:13:07All right.
01:13:10No one is running out now.
01:13:14That goosehead is...
01:13:15Unreliable and dangerous, yes.
01:13:18That leaves the three of us.
01:13:21Harry, choose your match.
01:13:24Right.
01:13:24Oh, stoofe!
01:13:32Steady the wheelbarrow, Harry.
01:13:35And lift.
01:13:42At least tuck the Major's arms in, Harry.
01:13:47I'll give one round a hand.
01:13:49You stay with Louis to tidy up.
01:13:52I know.
01:13:53Come along one round.
01:13:54The Major's train is due.
01:13:58Steady.
01:14:15This is the perfect spot.
01:14:17What we do now?
01:14:19The advantage of this bridge one round
01:14:21is that it lies directly over the main line
01:14:23and carrying empty trucks day and night.
01:14:27Get the Major onto the parapet.
01:14:34I shall take this ankle.
01:14:37You did that.
01:14:39That's it.
01:14:40Hold it very tight.
01:14:42Until a train comes and I give you the word.
01:14:47Myrond!
01:14:59Myrond!
01:15:01Myrond!
01:15:02Myrond!
01:15:02Shut up, you.
01:15:04Listen, Mum.
01:15:06We're in a tough spot.
01:15:08Don't shout out or nothing.
01:15:11Myrond!
01:15:12Blimey, she's in the land and nod.
01:15:17Where's she got that key?
01:15:24Nice.
01:15:29Ready to let go?
01:15:30I can't see a thing in this smoke.
01:15:35One, two, three, go!
01:15:39Bon voyage, Major.
01:15:58Let's get inside.
01:16:00No, no.
01:16:01You'd better fetch the car.
01:16:02There's no need to go through the house.
01:16:05You wouldn't be trying to keep me out of there, would you?
01:16:07Don't be stupid, one round.
01:16:09Don't call me that.
01:16:11Don't call me...
01:16:13Hey.
01:16:14What are they doing in there?
01:16:15I assure you.
01:16:18Harry's done her.
01:16:19But Scarpet with the money.
01:16:21He's what?
01:16:22You've done her?
01:16:23You've done her in?
01:16:24No.
01:16:25Put me down.
01:16:27It wasn't me.
01:16:28Harry, it was Harry.
01:16:30Get down the front, one round.
01:16:31You'll catch him there.
01:16:33Which way, which way?
01:16:42No.
01:16:43You've done her.
01:16:44You've done Mrs. W.
01:16:45No, no, no, I never, I never, I never.
01:16:47Louis said you've done her.
01:16:48Listen, no, listen, listen to me, listen to me one round.
01:16:50Listen to me, listen to me.
01:16:51I left her fast asleep.
01:16:52Here, look now, here, I'll take the money, eh?
01:16:55No, no, no.
01:16:57You put that plank down one round.
01:16:58No, stop!
01:17:03See?
01:17:10He strangled her in the chair, then took the money.
01:17:13I can see that for myself, Louis.
01:17:15You'd better get out and see.
01:17:16I said nobody was to do her!
01:17:18Oh, oh, oh, Mr. Lawson.
01:17:24Oh, I fell asleep.
01:17:28Where's Mr. Robinson?
01:17:30He's, he's outside.
01:17:33The cello case, it's gone.
01:17:36Out there too?
01:17:37Then bring it in immediately.
01:17:40I thought she was done.
01:17:41Somebody took the key out of my pocket.
01:17:44I'm very angry.
01:17:46As you have every right to be, Mrs. Wilberforce.
01:17:48Mr. Robinson will answer for it.
01:17:50Excuse me a moment.
01:17:54Let me have that.
01:17:55I'll take the cello case, thank you.
01:17:58Here you are, Mum.
01:18:00What happened out there?
01:18:02I thought, I thought Harry done her in.
01:18:05So?
01:18:06So, all right.
01:18:07I made a mistake.
01:18:12Put him in the barrow.
01:18:13No.
01:18:14You lose, Harry.
01:18:15I'm staying with Mark.
01:18:20Now what does your master plan say?
01:18:23That you and I have a goods delivery to make.
01:18:28Don't.
01:18:29Let him drop till I say.
01:18:31Look.
01:18:31I'll make a proposition to you.
01:18:36I'll take care of him if you take care of her.
01:18:41That's a straight 50-50 split, no?
01:18:43Oh, no.
01:18:44Let me have one round.
01:18:46You take care of Mrs. W.
01:18:47If you think I'm...
01:18:51Ready?
01:18:53No!
01:18:54No!
01:18:54No!
01:19:01And guess who's next?
01:19:05Don't shoot one round!
01:19:07That...
01:19:08That's Harry's gun, isn't it?
01:19:10Didn't reckon he'd be needing it no more.
01:19:13Shoot him!
01:19:14He got you into this.
01:19:16Been standing here all the time.
01:19:18Heard you both.
01:19:19Okay, so who looks stupid now, eh?
01:19:23Shoot him!
01:19:25We'll do a deal!
01:19:26It's both of you.
01:19:28And now...
01:19:29The fool had the safety catch on.
01:19:43I'll take the gun.
01:19:44That knife is more your style.
01:19:46You know, I don't think so.
01:19:50Man the guns!
01:19:53Shush now.
01:19:56I think just another 40 winks.
01:19:59My hand is aching.
01:20:07One round's a big man.
01:20:10There'll be a train.
01:20:14It was a good plan, you know.
01:20:18The best.
01:20:20Except for the human element.
01:20:22All good plans include the human element.
01:20:25But then...
01:20:26No really good plan could include...
01:20:30Mrs. Wilberforce.
01:20:32Unless, of course, we had more men.
01:20:36There were only...
01:20:37Only five of us.
01:20:39Take it easy, will you?
01:20:47But it would take 30 or 40, perhaps, to deal with her.
01:20:50Because we'll never be able to kill her, Louis.
01:20:54What's the matter with you?
01:20:55She'll always be with us.
01:20:57Forever and ever.
01:20:59Ah, man.
01:21:08You're crazy.
01:21:10You mustn't say things like that, Louis.
01:21:12You mustn't make me angry.
01:21:17Crazy!
01:21:18Crazy!
01:21:19I'm back!
01:21:20The master plan!
01:21:22Master plan!
01:21:24With three dead bodies!
01:21:27And soon to be four, my little Sicilian friend.
01:21:39Where are you?
01:21:40You can...
01:21:44Trust me!
01:21:52You mad dog.
01:21:57Where are you hiding?
01:22:02Over here, Louis.
01:22:04Look!
01:22:10Professor!
01:22:11We'll do a deal!
01:22:14I know you're in that bush.
01:22:16But I won't shoot.
01:22:19Just come out!
01:22:21We'll go back and split the money!
01:22:29Wrong again, Louis!
01:22:34But not for much longer, you old fool.
01:22:46Come on back up, Professor!
01:22:49I know you're stuck under the bridge!
01:22:51This ladder doesn't go to the ground!
01:22:56Coo-ee!
01:22:57Loo-ee!
01:23:01Then I come and plug you in, you damn...
01:23:04You messed!
01:23:12Let's stop this stupid game!
01:23:16Where are you?
01:23:18Over here!
01:23:23Thank you, Louis.
01:23:25It seems to sit better in my hand, don't you think?
01:23:28And still one bullet left.
01:23:30If my audition is up to scratch?
01:23:32No!
01:23:35Look!
01:23:36I was scared!
01:23:39It wasn't you!
01:23:40It...
01:23:40It was a beautiful plan!
01:23:44Let's...
01:23:45Let's settle this!
01:23:46Aha, I intend to.
01:23:48I should imagine...
01:23:49Oh, that third wagon along will be yours.
01:23:53Well, that's you.
01:23:53No!
01:24:05No!
01:24:06Every good plan must be open to modification, Louis!
01:24:10At least...
01:24:16You deserve a wave goodbye!
01:24:20Goodbye!
01:24:21Goodbye!
01:24:23Goodbye!
01:24:23Death!
01:24:25I...
01:24:25I can't...
01:24:27I must...
01:24:28I can't hold on.
01:24:30I...
01:24:30I...
01:24:31Help anyone!
01:24:32Is there...
01:24:33Oh, no!
01:24:34Ah!
01:24:34Ah!
01:24:34Ah!
01:24:35Ah!
01:24:35Ah!
01:24:35Ah!
01:24:35Ah!
01:24:55It's true I carried the lolly, but I...
01:24:58I wasn't really one of the gang, Sergeant.
01:25:01So you wouldn't allow a cup of tea, Mum?
01:25:02Oh, and I admit the caper was planned in my house, but it wasn't I who planned it.
01:25:11And I certainly had nothing to do with the East Castle Street job.
01:25:15Didn't you, Mum?
01:25:17I don't even know where East Castle Street is.
01:25:20Well, in that case, I think...
01:25:22But I...
01:25:23I do have all the lolly...
01:25:26Oh, I beg your pardon.
01:25:27I'm so confused.
01:25:29I...
01:25:29I have all the money back at the house.
01:25:31And the rest of the...
01:25:33The gang.
01:25:34That's the funny thing.
01:25:36They all disappear during the night.
01:25:39Well, didn't have a spaceship, did they?
01:25:40Thank you, Constable.
01:25:43Well, Lieutenant, you...
01:25:44You must think my mind is wandering.
01:25:46No, no, Mrs Wilberforce.
01:25:49It's just that, for various reasons,
01:25:52the force wants you to forget all about the matter.
01:25:57Don't mention it to anyone.
01:26:00Oh, I see.
01:26:02But you'll send someone for the money.
01:26:05Well, I think as far as we're concerned, Mum,
01:26:08why don't you just keep it?
01:26:11Keep the money?
01:26:12Oh, I know it's only a farthing on everybody's policies,
01:26:16but...
01:26:18Yes.
01:26:19They said it would only confuse the issue.
01:26:22Exactly.
01:26:24Now, if you don't mind,
01:26:26I have some other very pressing business to attend to.
01:26:31Yes.
01:26:32Oh, of course.
01:26:34Well, good morning, Sergeant Constable.
01:26:37Remarkable, really.
01:26:46Only a farthing.
01:26:50Mrs Wilberforce,
01:26:52just one moment.
01:26:54Oh, dear.
01:26:55I knew this would happen.
01:26:58You forgot something.
01:26:59I did?
01:27:01Oh, yes.
01:27:02Your umbrella.
01:27:04So I did.
01:27:06Oh, no.
01:27:10No, I never liked it.
01:27:11For a rainy day?
01:27:15Good morning, Sergeant.
01:27:18A very good morning.
01:27:19Good morning.
