Just send me a postcard,

that's all.

Goodbye, Tommy.

Now, scarper

before I make a fool of myself.

- Bloke.

- Cop?

Dunno.

You get out quick. I'll stall him.

- Does Mrs Sandigate live here?

- That's right.

- I'd like to see her, please.

- Alfie, get back to bed this minute.

- Mrs Sandigate?

- Yes?

I want to talk to you

about Tommy Swann.

You can't go now! You've got to tell

them that you made me hide you!

- Let go of me!

- I won't! You've got to tell them!

Sadie! Sadie! Sadie, stop!

- You can't walk out on me.

- Why not?

Sadie, you can't.

What shall I do?

You'll find some little shiksa

to wait on you.

Listen, Sadie. I've been bad

to you, I admit, but...

Sadie, please don't leave me.

Hey, stop! Stop!

Sadie, the car!

Mrs Sandigate.

26 Coronet Grove.

Right, Slopey. Thanks for the tip.

Stolen car.

This is it. Shove your lights up,

George. Get that out.

Add, "Driver believed

to be Tommy Swann."

Get down to 26 Coronet Grove.

Pick up Mrs Sandigate.

- Tommy Swann.

- I need dough. Lots of dough.

- How much you collect?

- Well, here's a 20 for you, Tom.

Thanks.

That's big of you, chum.

Have you seen...?

Whitey Williams, I want you!

Hold him.

I never did it.

I recognises that it's Tommy Swann.

I wouldn't do the old boy, I...

I suppose he gave you the watch

as a consolation prize?

Come off it, Whitey.

Whistle up another man.

Get a doctor to examine the body.

Take Williams to the station.

Straight on, soon as you can.

There he goes! Back!

Better go back.

Right, Sergeant.

I'll warn the men. Come inside.

'Everybody listen, please.

'There's an escaped convict

in the yard.

'He's wearing trousers and shirt,

no jacket.

'If you see him,

report immediately.'

Needle in a haystack.

We had a Home Guard exercise here.

The whole company out looking for me

all night. Never got a smell of me.

Come on!

Better spread out.

They caught him.

Out near Leyton.

It was before I met you.

- I had to help him.

- Don't worry about that now.

You've got to get well quickly.

How are we going to get along

without you?

Alfie.

I left him by himself.

He was frightened.

He's all right. The girls are back.

They're looking after him.

Angus MacPhail

Angus MacPhail (8 April 1903 – 22 April 1962) was an English screenwriter, active from the late 1920s, who is best remembered for his work with Alfred Hitchcock.He was born in London and educated at Westminster School and Trinity Hall, Cambridge where he studied English and edited Granta. He first worked in the film business in 1926 writing subtitles for silent films. He then began writing his own scenarios for Gaumont British Studios and later Ealing Studios under Sir Michael Balcon. During World War II he made films for the Ministry of Information. One of Alfred Hitchcock’s favourite devices for driving the plots of his stories and creating suspense was what he called the MacGuffin.
