They won't believe you

They don't trust our fellowmen.

I doubt them have a pretty accurate description of your clothing

Maybe I can fix you up and a with a mustache maybe

Thanks

I'll go back to London

and lay of some of the clothes in the river where the cops will never see them

London is big enough to hide me in,Jocko

The world is not so small you know

I know London.London is big

London is big,best you go to Hampton park

Latest about the murder

Excuse me Miss

This shop is shut

Heartless.Have a heart

I'm sorry I'm not working overtime.I got to be home

You're the lucky one,Miss, I've not got a home

Pardon me,could you fix me up?

It'll cost you a tenner if I do

That won't break my heart

Not particular?

No.Not foresee.I can't afford to be

Try

Jackson 17 Ship Lane

Thanks Miss.Here's your tenner

Give it to me tomorrow.

If you are suited

Thank you, Miss

Good Night

Good Evening Miss

I am sorry but..

Sharp shot.Your tenner,Miss.Thank you

So you got fixed up all right?

Sure I told you I wasn't fussy

-Fag? -I don't smoke

Are you doing anything tonight?

Got my tea at home

Tell me,Miss,what's your name

It's Rosie

Rosie?

Why not me when you had your tea?

What you're shy?

Maybe I got another fellow meeting me

I'll chuck him up

Didn't say I had

We would have a drink or two

I don't drink,thank you

What about a little walk?

-I don't.. -I don't walk,thank you

Walk? Where to?

That's up to you.I'm not particular

"Read about the murder,read all about it"

You haven't told me what your name is yet

Jack

"and forgive us our trespasses,as we forgive them their trespass against us"

"and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil,Amen"

How is your boy friend Rosie?

Fine

Tell us about him

Ask no questions,Dave,and you hear no lies

What's the matter?

Why don't you let us meet him?

Aren't we good enough for your Mr Jack?

Come on Dave I'm hungry

All right,Nicola,I fill you full of eclairs

-Coming Rosie? -No,I'm meeting Jack

Why not bring his high mighty ship along

We don't like eclairs

"Reward for the capture of Herbert Logan" read all about it

I thought you were never coming

I'm sorry

I was kept late at the shop

Mrs Jackson came in and told me that you have moved

I had to get a place nearer my work

You are not in trouble are you?

I got something I must tell you

Can you take it?

All depends,Jack

It won't make any difference for us,would it?

Of course it won't

First of all my name is not Jack

It's Herb

That don't make you,Jack..Herb

Look

Don't you read the papers?

Not much.Except the picture ones

Did you never hear about a murder?

Down in Croyber Square

Yes.Dave and Grace talk about it quite a bit

Good riddance to her Dave said

She wasn't all that bad

You knew her?

Yes,and they got me lined up for that job

You didn't do it Herb

I never did.I swear I never did.A fellow called Kit Marlove had done it

Please believe that.Please

What's the use of telling me you didn't it

don't you realize every minute you hide away make it so much worse

Well if I give myself up what happens?

Can't you see?

They got a victim, as long as someone swings,who cares

If theyll do,it won't be me

I'll stay out

I got to find this Marlowe, he's the one,I got to find him

Herb,I'm so afraid for you

I told you,just between the two of us, because I couldn't keep it to myself

If that come all to it,nor could I

All right Grace saved you from a power of trouble

That's right Dave ,consulted where I could

You never should have done

Now listen, I've been looking up the law,see

"even if you given no assistance to a person who has committed a felony

anyone who knows of his guilt

commits an offence if they don't communicate the information"

He swears he didn't do it

And did you ever seen the man who didn't swear he didn't do it?

(Grace) That's right

You know what you are doing,Rosie,don't you?

Keeping information from the police,accessory they call it

And in the case of murder you could get penal servitude for life

It isn't true

Oh,yes it is true all right

I've got it all here in black and white

Thanks Nicholas Come scar..a trich(intent italian)

Thanks,grazie,grazie

Grazie.That's italian for thank you

-Now look Rosie -Now listen

That fellow never should have told you

As he has you got to go to the police

But do you really would think he would have told me if he had done it?

I couldn't tell the police not now that they have passed this reward

Hundred quid,I haven't got it,doesn't do

to look a gift horse in the mouth they say

But he trusts me

Dave

Beside

Been so sweet to me

I wouldn't call it sweet to put you in a spot like this I call it downright criminal

Besides he might do it again

Or you know he's working to have a go at you

Or anyone

You owe it to society,that's what I say

Y-o-u o-w-e i-t t-o s-o-c-i-e-t-ty

Gracie,what am I to do

You leave it to me

When are you meeting him again?

Afternoon

What time?

At two

Where Rosie?

Where?

In a church yard,Newington

That's fine

Hello

Don't you look a treat

Hello

I tell you something

I think I'm getting sweet on you

Rosie,give us a kiss

No,Herb,not here there is people everywhere

They are not going to kiss you,only me

What's that?

Why so ladylike?

Let us sit down Herb

-I'm tired -What.Tired already?

Crikey.We haven't even started yet

Have you ever seen Crystal Palace?

Yes

Would you like to have another squiz of it? Come on

Let's go on the top of a bus and catch the sun

I love the sunshine. Makes me wonder how wrong

all the songs I ever heard till I bussed myself

"Oh all Rosies in London is a wonderful sight"

Don't worry.The police have forgotten all about me

Yes.Yes they have.Let's go. Let's go now quickly

You're Herbert Logan? I have a warrant

Come and get who has done it?

Honestly I know his name

That's fine

You are going to be a little gentleman and come along with us?

Please.I'll come

Let me say good-bye to her?

She's been really nice to me

All right

But get it move on,there is a car waiting

Well Rosie

Look so the outing is off after all

Here

Why don't do the Crystal Palace trip on me?

-No,Herbie,wouldn't be -All right

We'll do it when I have cleared myself,it won't take long

Say this day next week, same time same place

-All right? -Yes,Herb

Well,good-bye for now

Nice working it,thanks

Herb,I..

All right,come along Logan

Anything that matters?

-No.Thank You Officer -Good night ,Sir

And now Mr Heal,can you tell us of any other men

than the prisoner whom you knew to be acquaintances of Frances Ketchen?

No,Sir

Did you ever hear the deceased speak

of her alleged midnight visitor,Kit Marlowe?

No,Sir,never.

Never.Thank you

After you have signed off at the railway depot

why didn't you turn your steps towards the house in Craven Square?

Because,Sir, I thought her bloke would be there

And why did you think that?

Well,Sir,I knew he had a round with her when my back was turned
