The Clouded Yellow Page #5

We'll soon fix this.

Nothing's safe, is it?

We'll look after her.

Right...

Alright... thank you.

They found the car...

abandoned on the moor.

Gives them a good start.

Not good enough.

You'll see... we'll get 'em!

I'll take this one...

And have you any buns,

or sausage rolls or something?

Sorry sir, the baker doesn't deliver

till 9.30 or so.

How about some apples?

They're good eaters.

Alright then...2lb of apples, please.

That'll be 4/6d.

Hey!..What do you think

you're up to?!

I'm hungry, David... can't we stop here

and have some tea?

You're always hungry.

What about those apples?..

there are still some left in your bag.

I want some tea...I'm sick of apples...

Aren't YOU?

Yes... but I don't think

we'll stop here.

Well, there's nobody in them...

we needn't stay long.

Alright... just this once, then.

Sophie... what were you and Karl

talking about?

I asked him about

getting muddled...

...and whether that did

happen to people.

He asked me a lot of questions, and...

Then he said it did happen

to some people, but...

...not to me.

And then he said there was

something I had forgotten.

That I have to remember...

...and that when I do remember it...

I won't feel muddled any more.

Was it something about

finding your parents dead?

That...

Something else.

Come on... we've got to get our bus.

Hey, Mike!

What's the matter, Eric?

All the way, please.

-2 to Patterdale.

I was looking forward to that tea.

You've left your bag.

No, I've got it here.

No... your handbag!

But I haven't got it?

Yes, you had it at the caf.

Oh, yes...I left it on the chair.

That young man spotted you...

one at the tea place.

What are we going to do?

They'll comb the lakes...

but we can't be here...

We'll cut across to Liverpool.

They got on the Patterdale bus?

About 10 minutes ago?

The main party's gone up the hill

with a wireless van, Sir.

Straight ahead.

-Good... thank you!

We'll give them a minute...

and then we'll double back.

Still hungry?

And scared.

I know.

Put these things into your bag.

We've got to travel light now.

This is rough country...

We daren't use the roads.

Not by daylight.

Well it's theirs alright.

Anything interesting in it?

No... nothing they couldn't have bought

anywhere.

No... there wouldn't be.

We've made 3 rings of police.

This is where we found the bag...

So we know they came through the outer

ring. There's only one way they can go.

To the mountains.

When they do that...

we've got 'em!

He's got out of tighter places

than that.

I believe you want him

to get away!

Well...I'm sounding the tally-ho this time...

But I tell you quite frankly...

I hope I don't get the fox.

They've been sighted

towards Copley's Wood.

Jess!

It's Jess!

Nonsense...

Of course it isn't!

It WAS Jess!

I thought I saw Jess!

No, Sophie... you didn't.

Come on, we've got to get moving.

Alright now?

That wasn't Jess we saw.

I thought it was for a moment...

I was so frightened.

It's because I remembered.

Remembered what?

The last time was when I saw

my mother and father.

Someone was there, with a gun.

I thought you found them first.

That's what Jess said.

She always explained it that way.

She said I had a shock and...

...thought I saw someone.

That's what I remembered

in the woods just now.

I wasn't muddled.

Someone WAS there... with a gun.

Who was it?

Was it Jess?

I don't know...I can't remember.

The night that Hick was killed...

You didn't even see him, did you?

No... but they tried

to make me think I did.

You believe me, don't you?

Yes, Sophie, of course I believe you.

But then, I'm not the police.

Ok Flycatcher...

Message understood... out!

We've had a couple of chaps say

there's no sign of anyone in Copley's Wood, Sir.

Helicopter reports couple seen

near Sourmilk Gill, Sir.

Telephone Keswick...

Tell them to send all mobile reserves

to the bottom of Sourmilk Gill...

...immediately...Priority One!

This must be Sourmilk Gill.

If we follow this waterfall down...

...it takes us to a narrow track

which leads to the main road.

Keswick Section Station here...

Message 1350...

Superintendent requests

all available mobile patrols...

Yes... concentrate north of Sourmilk Gill.

We're trapped... aren't we?

Look...Sophie...

We've just got time to jump for it,

before they see us...

Do you think you can make it?

I can't David... it's too wide.

Alright... never mind.

You see that ledge down there...

Get in there and make yourself

as small as you can.

What are YOU going to do?

I'm going to draw them off.

Give me your raincoat.

After they've gone,

and when it's dark...

...make your way back to the lakeside,

where we got off the bus.

Remember? Wait for me there.

Supposing they catch you?

They won't....I'll come for you...

I promise.

Lakeside... where we got off the bus.

See you tonight.

Be careful!

-I will!

Where's the girl?

She's not here.

Good... she's got away.

Which way?

That's YOUR worry!

Well... we got Somers.

The girl won't be much trouble

on her own.

You'd better move the men to the other side

of the gully, as quick as you can.

Is that wise?

If she got away on that side and

Somers wouldn't leave her behind...

There's no point in a whole lot of men

standing around on this side.

How bad is Somers?

They say he's broken a couple of ribs

and he may have fractured an ankle.

My ribs!

How are your ribs?

-Hurts.

Sorry, chum!

What!?

Well, get after him... quick... move!

A car... as quick as you can!

Knocked out the policeman

and slugged the driver, I suppose.

I told you!

Sophie!

Oh David...

I was so afraid!

Are you really alright.

Of course I'm alright.

Just worried for you.

I thought I'd have to give myself up.

I'm very glad you didn't.

Because we've got to take things

into our own hands now.

And the first thing is that you've got to

have a talk with Jess.

Jess?

It'll be alright.

Only on the telephone.

Coming through.

Hello...Jess?

Where are you?

No, I see...

Why are you telephoning?

I need help, Jess.

To get away...

...Abroad.

Where are you?

You did very wrong

to run away, Sophie.

You must give yourself up to the police...

mustn't you, Sophie?

No...I need help, Jess.

Things aren't quite the same

any longer.

I don't get muddled any more.

What do you want?

No, that's too much...

I haven't got it.

200...yes... alright.

How can I bring it to you?

No... the post wouldn't be safe.

I'll bring it to you myself.

Alright, Jess... yes... alright...

I'll be at...

5 Coronation Way, Liverpool.

Yes, Coronation...

Thursday afternoon, 3 o'clock.

You won't fail me...

will you, Jess?

No, I won't fail.

Supposing she rings the police.

I don't think she will.

Anyway, it's a chance

we've got to take.

We missed the coach in front!

Hello, Nora!

Anything wrong with Glasgow?

Not sure I like a change, sometimes.

Your room'll cost you a fiver

this time, Somers.

She's hot.

I only want the room
