One, two, three, four, five, 95.

Assen.

Not here to meet you, Ronnie? She's getting rid of the boyfriend!

Maybe she's still making the bed!

You're on! You're right on! One more pair, catch him now!

- Pick her up! - Catch him with...

Who the hell are you?

Well, who are you? What are you doing here?

- My girl lives here. - She doesn't live here now! I do!

- Just a minute... - Beat it! I want to get dressed.

I pay the rent for this room.

- So do I. Weekly and in cash! - This is quite mysterious.

Talk to the doctor about it. He's the landlord, remember?

I remember.

My dear Korchinsky, when did you get back?

Where's Anya? Where's she gone?

- She left here. - Why?

There was some pecuniary embarrassment.

- No money. - But that's not possible.

I sent her money every place we stopped.

For our home.

Where has she gone? What's her address?

Tell me. You must know.

All I know is she left here owing me two weeks' rent.

You liar. That's not why she left, is it?

I know you.

If I find out you've been...

Be so good as to remove your hand from my jacket.

Here you are, Mr Ellis.

Look. I've been sending her money all the time.

If you sent on my letters, you must know her address.

Come on. Tell me what you want.

Don't take that tone with me.

If you're interested in this girl, perhaps you can settle her debts.

So. There's some here.

Only what I'm owed. You can see the bills if you like.

4 for the rent, 1.10 for gas, 1 for electricity,

various other smaller items.

All right. Say a fiver.

Thank you.

- Well... I'm sorry about... - That's all right.

Bye.

Bronic, I want to give you a word of advice.

And, believe me, it is from a friend.

Don't let your emotions run your life.

Sometimes it isn't worth it.

You're not playing with us.

- Yes, I am! - We don't want you.

- Why not? - You haven't got a gun, that's why.

- She's not got a gun! - Yes, I have. Look.

Call that a gun? It's a bit of wood.

Get out of it, Gillie. Go back to London. Scram!

- I got a bomb! - Cowboys don't use bombs!

Hey! Give that back! It's mine.

- Give it back! - Clear off.

- Stop it. You must never hit a lady. - I'm not a lady!

Give her back the bomb. Go on!

Clear off and leave her alone!

Hey! Any of you kids know where is Llanwis Court?

What, mister?

- Llanwis Court. - Never heard of it.

It's somewhere here. Here.

Oh. "Clan-wis" Court.

Gillie will show you. She lives there.

Thank you.

Oh!

You forgot something.

Thanks.

Um... Do you know where that is?

- It's Llanwis Court. - Oh. That's where I live.

It's that house.

Thank you very much, mademoiselle.

Anechka! (Speaks Polish)

Anechka.

Anya.

Anya.

You're late. Wherever have you been?

- Couldn't get served. - You've been playing in the streets.

No, I haven't, Auntie. Honest. I came straight home.

There was a fire in Davies Street. I only stopped a minute.

- Put the change on the table. - There weren't no change.

- None of that. - He didn't give me none.

- What have you been up to now? - Nothing.

Don't touch that. It's Mrs Potter.

Well? I'm waiting.

Sausages are one and nine a half. I gave you two and six.

- Where's the ninepence? - I dropped it. It wasn't my fault.

A big lady with a basket bumped into me, knocked it out of my hand.

- Fell down the drain, I dare say? - Yes.

That's what took me so long, hunting for it.

Butcher give you this? Steal from your own, would you?

My life is spent scrimping together a few pennies to bring you up decent

and this is how you repay me.

A thief at your age. End up in jail, that's what'll happen to you.

You're old enough to know right from wrong. Why did you do it?

They wouldn't let me play with them. They've all got cap pistols.

And Gwyneth got a new cowboy outfit for her birthday.

I don't know what next.

Little girls wanting to play with guns and dress up like gangsters.

- Here. - Thanks, Auntie.

Take these pants down to Mr Williams and tell him it's two shillings.

- Boo! - Oh! You little devil.

- Mind those trousers now. - It's two bob, Auntie says.

Where's your manners? No one ever tell you to say please?

- Sorry, Mrs Williams. - Tell her I'll pay her next week.

Well, what is it?

No one ever tell you to say thank you? Some people got no manners.

You wicked girl! You've made Mr Williams cut himself!

Oh, dear. Cut his self bad? Cut his bleedin' head off?!

Ooh, you... Wait till he gets his hands on you.

Your backside'll be cut then!

I came here to ask you to marry me.

Can't you understand? I don't want to see you! I don't want you!

Anya...

Look, Anya, I'm sorry I'm away so long.

It's the ships.

I don't write so good. You know I don't write.

But you got the money, didn't you? Came regular, didn't it?

Regular? Oh, yes! Regular like you pay a cook!

- I'm glad you're so grateful. - Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Is that grateful enough?!

Just because you helped me once, is that a life sentence? (Speaks Polish)

I'm not an animal for a little boy to keep in a cage.

I'm a woman with a heart and a body which is my own

to give how I like, when I like!

I'd rather be back in that bloody camp than have this year again.

This waiting, waiting, never knowing.

Anechka.

I'm finished with the sea. I tell you, really I am.

It's all over. I'm never going back to the sea.

I'm staying here with you.

I promise you. I swear it.

We are going to get married.

Married, you hear? Married.

Married would be terrible. Worse.

Plenty of love for a few days, all happy, smiling.

Then you'd see a ship. You can't help it, it's a madness.

You've got a man, haven't you?

You've got another one, haven't you? Haven't you?!

- Yes! I have! - Who is it? You tell me!

Not a sailor! Not a dirty sailor!

He's a wonderful man. He's a gentleman!

A gentleman!

You bitch!

You bitch! Bitch!

- Bitch! - Yes! Bitch. That's exactly it.

Your little bitch has had enough of crawling when you whistle.

You call it love, I call it something else.

You're thinking only one thing.

"What a wonderful strong man is Bronislav Korchinsky!"

Little sailor boys shouldn't have women.

Go out and sleep with the sea! Now get out! Out! Out!

Bronic.

Anya.

I'm sick of your tricks. Hand over those caps.

I want those caps of yours. Come on, I'm waiting.

These are confiscated. Any trouble from you and you'll go to jail.

You stupid little! Look where you're going.

Anya.

Anya.

- Got my two shillings? - Two shillings?

Mr Williams' trousers.

Oh. She wouldn't pay. Said she'd pay next week.

Gillie, I know when something's wrong. What is it?

- Old Williams - he pinched my bomb. - Is that all?

All right, all right. I'm coming. Hello?

Yes. Yes. Who?

I think she's out. Can I take a message?

Oh, all right then. Hang on.

Miss Haluba? Miss Haluba?

Mr Williams! Mr Williams, come quickly!

- Come quickly, Mr Williams! - What is it, Mrs Parry?

- Mrs Parry, what's the matter? - Mr Williams!

- He's gone on duty. - Something's happened to that woman.

I think she's dead. She's been murdered.

Her room's in a terrible state.

- I'll try and catch George up. - I'll come with you.

I'm Superintendent Graham. Can I come in?

Yes.

- You're Mrs Phillips? - Yes.

I'm in charge of this case upstairs.

I understand that you knew Miss Haluba pretty well.

I didn't know her at all beyond saying "Good morning".

Did she have many visitors?

I don't nose into other people's affairs.

I'm sure.

I just thought, as her neighbour,

you might know something about her habits.

Whatever she's done wrong, she's paid for now.

It's not for us to judge, is it?

- Did you go out at all this morning? - No.

Somewhere around 12:30 a gun was fired upstairs. Did you hear it?

I may have done. There were several bangs. I thought it was Gillie's toy.

Toy? What toy?

- Where's that thing? - I haven't got it.

I've got it here. If you put two or three caps in that,

it makes a noise exactly like a revolver shot.

Gillie, come here a minute.
