It's for Jesus.

Who d'you say it's for, love?

Who d'you say it's for?

Jesus.

It isn't Jesus.

It's just a fella.

Eddie! Eddie!

Here. Give me that quick. Come on.

He's got a gun. Now look,

you stay here and keep out of the way.

I'll be back.

You're not going there,

so make up your mind.

- I'm going to see Him.

- You're not.

- I'm going to see Him.

- You don't know. You don't understand.

- You don't understand anything.

- You don't know who he is.

I do. I do. It's Jesus.

Look, he's got a gun, love.

He's got a gun.

You're making it up

because you want to get Him.

You can't leave anybody alone.

- I'm going to see Him and I don't care...

- Stop it, Kathy, stop it.

You're not going up there

so make up your mind.

- Oh, please.

- Come along.

Come along! Now behave.

- Kathy, behave. Come along.

- It's Jesus.

Come on. Now get along.

Go along.

Now listen, all of you.

You're to stay here and not to come out.

Just do as I say, there's good kids,

and there won't be any more trouble.

Just do as I say.

It's half-day closing. He's at t'cemetery.

Ann Green.

Who?

Excuse me.

Hello.

Yep. Right.

We've got him, Frank.

What do you think he's doing?

Jesus?

Jesus?

Oh, please, Jesus, please.

Jesus.

Oh, please talk to me.

I believe in you.

I won't hurt you. It wasn't me.

I love you. I love you.

Go away, kid.

Go away.

I brought you something.

Your snort.

Did you bring any matches?

Oh, I forgot matches.

Doesn't matter.

You remembered the snout.

I didn't give you away. It was Charles.

But he didn't mean to.

It's just that he didn't think.

- That's all right.

- He didn't mean to.

- Will you forgive him?

- Yeah.

Then me Aunt Dolly went for the police.

What'll you do?

Are you gonna get away this time?

It's not up to me, is it?

- It's up to them, innit?

- There's lots of other children.

I sent for them to help you. I know

they'll come. I just know they'll come.

Did you hear what I said?

- Yes, I heard.

- We wouldn't have sent for the police.

Not ever. Not ever.

They're coming now.

What are you going to do?

There must be something you can do.

You can do anything.

- Is that what you all think?

- Yes.

Yes, we all believe in you.

He's in that barn, I gather. You stay here.

I'll go up with Wilcox, a couple of men.

He'll cover the back...

- Where the hell are they coming from?

- I've no idea, sir.

Well, I want this whole area cleared.

He's got a gun, you know.

Come on, Frank.

Please, you must hurry.

Please, you must.

Will we see you again?

Will we see you?

- You bet.

- What did you say? I didn't hear.

I said yeah.

You'll hear about me again.

Do you promise?

- Promise?

- Come on, love. Out of it.

Yes, I promise.

You there, Blakey?

Gonna be a good lad?

What about it, Blakey?

What's it gonna be, then?

Gonna make more trouble for yourself?

You'll need more than that, Blakey, lad.

Has He gone?

Yes.

Yes, you missed Him this time...

but He'll be coming again.
