01:29What's that all about?
01:30You are deliberately trying to upset me with that sword.
01:33I can't touch it long.
01:35But you have to make so much noise.
01:37We just wait to do it.
01:39How much longer are you going to be?

05:48nice schools now yes not when i was teaching you must have left it quite young yes
05:55my health which as you can imagine has not been improved by this business
06:03that's what's so stupid she'd never complained about that saw before would you say anything to
06:11upset her no i just said i was going to get on with the job then when i got settled into it
06:16that's when she threw the water uh might have a nasty accident that i saw that's true
06:22oh annoyed me i suppose so that's when i threw the logs at her
06:27no at the door silly thing to do i know that
06:33well i know it now look it was only one window broken
06:37yeah your window yeah no she said you called it your window purse being possessive sort of

13:44my letters please there aren't any for you today
13:49i see
13:54spiteful
13:55maybe if they'd been quiet for another minute she'd have started to think differently
14:08was she high-handed did she she tried to be it was just like being in class some other time class
14:14well did you learn anything i don't think i'd have liked her as a teacher too old-fashioned speak when
14:19you're spoken to sort of thing oh a bit of a disciplinarian eh maybe she'd have made a good
14:23sergeant there i know what you mean sir but she hasn't been around enough always kept to herself
14:27and their books well perhaps they help stimulate our imagination maybe she gets heirs and graces from
14:33them she talks about hasker's if she's the lady of the manor instead of the tenant
14:36get me jewett in will you it seems obvious to me mr way these people want me out and they're not
14:46fussy how they achieve it well i don't seem the sort of people to do that not in the manner you're
14:51saying you only see the smiling side i have to live here i see the malice harassment is a criminal
14:57offense miss ford and quite right too these people are criminals you're sure it's not just mr haskell
15:02are you that girl walker she's in the conspiracy and steel anybody else it's quite possible well
15:13i'll see what i can find out for you you realize that unless i get immediate results i shall have
15:19to refer the matter higher yes miss ford that is understood mr way you don't seem very enthusiastic
15:29i wouldn't say that miss ford perhaps i don't see these people quite as villainous as you do well you'd
15:34better stop it's your duty
15:47first well is it the old handcuffs then listen to her i need to be the firing squad
15:53well what have you been up to anything she says i've done just the opposite you need to fire out
15:59there this morning on top of that business with the saw garden rubbish well now i smoked her out
16:04she says and she stood on top of the thing it could have caused some inconvenience though any bonfire
16:10well won't it and the wind's blowing every which way what's this about mary and the bike
16:15yeah well mary couldn't miss the awful could she you see it no no pity why it's always best when
16:26there's someone else to see these things look you don't believe miss ford do you why not why not
16:32well you don't think mary would run somebody down do you i don't know mary can get quite stroppy when
16:37she's got her head of steam on not to running somebody down well that's what miss ford thought
16:44when will i find mary at home oh about four could you be on from scuba then right
16:51percy yeah do us a favor what be as good as gold with this woman keep turning the other cheek
16:59then off is loud you honestly think it'd be as simple as that no no i don't
17:08she ever have any quarrel with mary before
17:12no no not that i know of she's certainly got it in for her now uh through here miss ford
17:22no offences by post office officials are treated very seriously miss ford well i hope this one will be
17:28now you have proof have you that uh mrs walker has failed to deliver letters to you
17:32well several that i expected haven't arrived yes that need not necessarily be her fault of course
17:36letters do go astray because of people like mrs walker all sorts of reasons when there's a theft of
17:42mailbags for instance a lot of others get scattered well i don't think it's anything as dramatic as
17:47that in my case it could be very serious miss ford i have told mr way yes i know he reported it to me
17:58you seem to be under some pressure miss ford oh i am going by the number of complaints you've got
18:04oh there are a lot of ways people can be unpleasant if they really want to are you quite sure that these
18:09people are deliberately going out of their way to pester you well it's obvious you sure you mightn't be
18:13exaggerating just a little it's easy for you to say that well perhaps i'm in a better position to
18:19judge you're secure people aren't against you i wouldn't say that a lot of people seem to dislike
18:25the police these days well you're not all alone like i am i know it can be difficult but uh i would
18:34have thought it would have been possible to join some sort of institute or club in this area i believe
18:42it's easier in the country than the town are you suggesting that i am in need of some sort of therapy
18:48no no just companionship well what sort of people would they be oh all sorts i don't want all sorts
18:56i want my sword
19:06you delivered to miss ford's today no why should i it's all a bit of a nonsense really ah maybe but it
19:11gets on your nerves after a time i've got enough to do without her being awkward she'd be stuck for
19:16milk you know i mean there's no one else around here oh that's how i look out she's got enough on
19:20a plate without you doing your not she asked for it maybe all right then i'll give her one last chance
19:28it's the last time mine good lad it was my fault really see well she'd cancelled her pint and i'd
19:36forgot well there you go and how many other of you innocents is in the wrong
19:40you reckon you were thorough with these people i'd say so sir get on well with your local people
19:48do you yes sir too well maybe so too friendly too many i wouldn't say that it shows in your report
19:57not just this one anyone consider it to be part of my work sir only part you've always got to have
20:03something in reserve being friendly helps me understand my locals they know they don't get
20:08any favors but miss ford doesn't know that does she miss ford's a perishing nuisance ah is that your
20:15own opinion way or have you been listening to the interested parties that's my opinion sir
20:22what putting hours for her out of all proportion wasted time eh well most of it on the other hand
20:28there's always something to these stories i mean she's an educated woman you never know when things
20:32might get out of hand now these people the haskells and whatever are they reasonable people very mr
20:39askell makes gates hurdles and helps out on the local farm not a job man eh well more skilled handy
20:44man more like and mary walker postman eh she took the round over from her mother rides a bike all
20:52weathers and how does she fit in with haskell what he's a widower she's divorced and they're
20:56reckoned to get wed stale the milkman mary's cousin well there's nothing in that i mean most people are
21:03related in some way around dewitt miss ford's complaints they go back what 18 months any significance
21:09in that 18 months no i can't place anything sir let me know if you think of something yes sir
21:16oh hello mary what you been up to today then what me hi done some letter bombs for her that's not
21:26funny dick no i know i don't mean i've made mistakes in me job we all do you do why some but i wouldn't
21:35do anything deliberate well i know how people like their posts they look forward to it if they're lonely
21:41i wouldn't deprive them not even i mean you've been told that we're all in this together conspiracy
21:51make you smile if it weren't so serious oh but we ought to stand together mind i mean i was being
21:57in the same family and persie's almost it it won't do any harm to keep in touch and if things get
22:01any worse well we can all act together can't we do something about it do something about it
22:05i may make something of it well how well i don't know yet i'm not having us take much more stick
22:14without doing something
22:35without doing something i don't know yet
23:09Well I don't think you're taking this seriously enough.
23:15Well I don't think you are either.
23:17Shooting with intent to kill or even wound is a very serious matter.
23:21I think you'd be wise to make quite sure before you go making any accusations.
23:25But I am sure.
23:27I was in the lane and he hunted me.
23:30You were some way away from Mr. Haskeland behind a thick hedge when he fired.
23:34Well still could have hit me.
23:36Well not with a 410 I don't think.
23:39Well that means nothing to me.
23:41It's a shotgun Miss Ford.
23:42It fires a spread shot and loses effect over any great distance.
23:46Well that's no consolation.
23:48It looks as though he was firing away from you.
23:51Well you said it spread.
23:53Yeah but not backwards.
23:55Don't you laugh?
23:56I'm not laughing.
23:57He still could have shot me.
24:01Can you prove that?
24:03Well what else was he shooting at then?
24:06That's what I was shooting at.
24:07That's what I got.
24:07Whereabouts was it?
24:09It was it ran out from the hedge.
24:11Went across the open field and I got it.
24:12The next thing I heard was Miss Ford you know hollering her head off that I've been trying to kill her.
24:20Whereabouts was she?
24:21She was in the lane other side of the hedge.
24:23Could you have fired through the hedge at all?
24:25No no no look it left a hedge that went out to the open field and that's where I aimed.
24:29Did you know Miss Ford was the other side of the hedge?
24:32No there's no way of knowing that.
24:33Now look Mr Haskell I reckon your hearing is as good as the next man's.
24:36Did you hear Miss Ford at all?
24:38Look there's no way I could have heard unless she was singing.
24:41You know she walks around in flimsolls that one you know creeps around like a like a red Indian.
24:46Still going on at her about the cottage are you?
24:50No I ain't not.
24:52Oh I admit I want the cottage but I don't go on about it.
24:56Oh I know she says I do but.
24:58She's unfurnished isn't she?
24:59Yeah.
25:00Don't stand a snowball's chance do you?
25:02Yeah.
25:03Plays our rent regular does she?
25:04Yeah always.
25:06Why do you need the place so urgent?
25:07Well I'm getting wet again you see.
25:09I want it for the wife's parents.
25:11They'll have to move from where they are and well they'll need looking after some time or another.
25:16And somebody's got to find a place for Miss Ford haven't they?
25:18Yeah I know that that's why I don't keep on at her.
25:21Or take pot shots at her.
25:23That was a terrible thing for her to say.
25:26He'll tell your sergeant all sorts of stories.
25:29They'll all be lies.
25:30I'm sure Sergeant Storn can spot them he's pretty good at that.
25:33He'll listen to Mr Haskell he's a property owner.
25:36I can't see where that comes in.
25:38Wealth.
25:39You always listen to wealth.
25:43I presume you accepted Mr Haskell's side of the story.
25:47Well it seems reasonable and it fits the facts.
25:49The fact was he shot at me.
25:51I've examined that hedge Miss Ford.
25:53It's the last place in the world that anybody would take a shot at you from.
25:55It's too high and it's too thick at that point.
25:57Anywhere else it's possible but not there.
26:01I'm satisfied that Mr Haskell was shooting at a rabbit.
26:04And I'm satisfied that you were startled and upset.
26:07With reason.
26:09Look Miss Ford.
26:10I suggest that we leave the matter there.
26:12And I suggest that you and Mr Haskell get together and find a way of settling your disputes in a sensible fashion.
26:17And I won't have to come out here again.
26:19See?
26:20What's that Miss Ford?
26:21Wealth.
26:21He listened.
26:23I'm going now Miss Ford before you say anything you might regret.
26:25I call the police for protection.
26:28Not threats.
26:30Good night Miss Ford.
26:30Well you can't go on living next door to someone like that.
26:36I'll give her a look.
26:38What can I do about it?
26:39She'll have to be good out of here somehow.
26:41Well yeah.
26:42You get a bulldozer.
26:43Pull it through that place.
26:44That's the only way you get rid of her.
26:45I mean she'd go then.
26:46But then it'd be me.
26:47You'd have to provide alternative accommodation.
26:51Well I can't come and live here with you when we're wed.
26:54I mean not with her kids.
26:56Life would be a misery.
26:57You what?
26:57She'd be round every five minutes.
26:59You're saying they were making too much noise or they're broken somewhere.
27:03Oh you're right.
27:04Yeah.
27:05Right.
27:06Yeah there'd be.
27:07You know like there'd be no end of it like.
27:10I reckon she's mad.
27:13She'll be put away.
27:14Yeah but you can't just say she's mad.
27:15I mean no one will believe it.
27:16What about the police?
27:18Police?
27:18A number of times they've been round here.
27:21I mean they'd have said it themselves if that's what they reckon.
27:24No all they say is they'd just be nice to her and then tell me to apologise to her.
27:29Well it's got to stop.
27:32I mean what about the things she said about me?
27:34About you?
27:35It's me.
27:35It's back to being accused of murder.
27:37Well no one believed that.
27:40But people listen when it's said that the postwoman doesn't deliver everything in her bag.
27:44Oh.
27:45I've had her some looks I can tell you.
27:46About them they're not being serious.
27:49I mean you know the things she says are so daft.
27:51Some of it sticks Percy.
27:52You wait.
27:54Now listen to her if it's interesting enough.
27:57Now you'll find people say more and more about us.
27:59Listen you know the best thing then.
28:01What's that?
28:02I think you should get shot at me.
28:03You have your own life over at your own place and then no one would say nothing about nothing.
28:09You're daft.
28:09No.
28:14It's being here that does it.
28:16It's her being so unnatural.
28:17Yeah but she's here to stay low.
28:21Maybe.
28:22Every little thing she gets hold of she blows up into a major catastrophe.
28:27Well the shooting sounded serious enough Tom.
28:29Yeah it sounds serious enough till you get down there.
28:31Then it's a lot of something and nothing.
28:32Yeah well there's a small file of her complete starting to build.
28:36Small?
28:36You must be joking.
28:38Off you go.
28:39Wasn't she terrible?
28:41What?
28:42Alexandra.
28:43Oh yeah sadly the Alexandra.
28:45She gave her the I'm all alone in the world bit did she?
28:48Right away yeah.
28:49Well she's not.
28:50She's got a brother in Bradford.
28:51She can't bear him.
28:52She's got a couple of sisters in Derby to say nothing of a lot of cousins and their kids.
28:56Stop.
28:57She's just a natural loner.
28:59Pity she can't be left alone then.
29:21Morning Purs.
29:29Oh.
29:30I was just paying for the window I broke.
29:31Been done?
29:32No no.
29:33But er.
29:34I can't reckon what it'll be.
29:36Is that our business?
29:37Ah it can sort itself.
29:38No.
29:39No.
29:39No.
29:51Morning Miss Ford.
29:53Good morning.
29:54Oh Mary.
30:07Am I early or are you late?
30:10I'm late if I didn't get out here till eight.
30:12You're having letters now is she?
30:13Looks like advertising won't you?
30:15Oh and the electric bill.
30:16I can feel sorry for her now then if it's anything like ours.
30:19Cruel isn't it?
30:22That's Percy's milk dear old dear.
30:24Good morning.
30:45Good morning.
30:45Good morning.
30:48Good morning.
31:23Done your duty then.
31:25Be a nice surprise for her won't it?
31:32This came with the post you say?
31:35About that time.
31:37What exactly do you mean by that Miss Ford?
31:40Well Mr Haskell put something through.
31:44Then Mr Steele came with the milk.
31:47Then Mrs Walker with the post.
31:49And they usually arrive together do they?
31:51Yes.
31:53Quite a busy time.
31:55Well it must have been one of them.
31:57You say you were out of doors?
31:59Well just for a little while.
32:01So you might have missed someone.
32:03Who? I don't know I'm merely suggesting.
32:05Only one of them would want to write a thing like that.
32:09If you don't get out now things will get worse.
32:13Guard your books well they'll burn brightly.
32:17You think Mr Haskell wants you out that badly Miss Ford?
32:21Well of course he does.
32:23But he also put that check in paying for the window.
32:27Yes.
32:28Seems odd that he should also put this note through.
32:30Can he?
32:32Yes.
32:34Come in.
32:36Ah.
32:46Did you actually see Mr Steele at the door?
32:49Oh no not actually but he must have been because I put the milk money in an envelope on the step.
32:57I see.
32:58And why should Mr Steele send a note like that?
33:01Because he is related to Mrs Walker.
33:04And she might have put it through with the delivery.
33:07Yes.
33:10Have you any idea which is the most likely?
33:17Well I don't know.
33:20That is for you to find out Inspector.
33:24Yes.
33:27Could you see if WPC Bayless is available please?
33:30Oh and a message for Constable Way.
33:32Oh and I shall also require a car straight away.
33:37What's this all about then Eric?
33:39Don't you know Perth?
33:40No.
33:42You just come round to my place and you'll hear all about it.
33:45Would you like to get in?
33:47Are you arresting me?
33:48Not as far as I know.
33:50Oh.
33:51Oh.
34:07I like a room full of books like this.
34:15They're all I have.
34:17Very precious.
34:22Yes.
34:24I can see why you like it out here.
34:27It's my home.
34:29Where were you when the letters came through Miss Ford?
34:31Well in here I just went out and fetched them.
34:34Anything else on the mat?
34:35Yes.
34:36What?
34:38Well the letter with the cheque from Mr Haskell.
34:40Look.
34:46How much longer are we going to be sat waiting here?
34:49It's up to my inspector.
34:50Inspector.
34:52Well look.
34:53What does he want your inspector?
34:55Hello sir.
34:57This is Mr Haskell.
34:59I'm Inspector Lynch.
35:01You can sit Mr Haskell.
35:02Yeah.
35:04I've got something here I'd like you to take a look at.
35:07Yeah.
35:08What's this?
35:09It seems obvious.
35:10What's doing Miss Ford is it?
35:11How did you know that?
35:12Well I just thought so.
35:13You know like it because all these.
35:15Just read it Mr Haskell.
35:17Er.
35:19It's not me.
35:21I mean look I don't write like that.
35:23Not like printing.
35:25Not like that.
35:26No.
35:27Not a lot of people do.
35:28Would you write something for me Mr Haskell?
35:29Constable.
35:30A piece of paper and a pencil.
35:31A thick pencil.
35:32No.
35:33I'd never do anything like that.
35:35Did you put a note through Miss Ford's doors?
35:37Yeah I did.
35:38I'd put a check.
35:39Anything else?
35:40No nothing else.
35:41Here we are then.
35:42Can't find a thick pencil sir.
35:43I felt it all right.
35:44There you are Mr Haskell.
35:45Just write your name and address.
35:47Anything at all.
35:48Yeah.
35:50Er.
35:51Block letters if you don't mind.
35:52No.
35:59Thanks.
36:00Yeah.
36:03When was the last time you were actually in Miss Ford's cottage?
36:06Oh.
36:07Well.
36:08Must be about two years ago.
36:09New enough.
36:10You describe it to me.
36:11You what?
36:12Tell me what it looks like.
36:13Well it's just you know.
36:14It's just like table.
36:15And armchairs.
36:16Or desks there.
36:17And books.
36:18Very untidy.
36:19You read much Mr Haskell?
36:20You what?
36:21Books.
36:22No no no no no.
36:23Well paper maybe.
36:24Can do without them eh?
36:25Oh I suppose so.
36:26Miss Ford can't.
36:27I'll talk to her.
36:28That's up to her.
36:45Thanks for this Joe.
36:46All right.
36:47What was that about?
36:48I don't know.
36:49It's for me parents.
36:50Well surely they've got somewhere.
36:51I know.
36:52But later on they'll need looking after.
36:53Later on huh?
36:54So there's no rush to get Miss Ford out then?
36:55Oh I wouldn't say that.
36:56You can't live a decent life not with her next door.
36:57How could I take the children to live there?
36:58Well you try to talk to her.
36:59But you can't be kind to her.
37:00Well have you tried?
37:01Well have you tried?
37:02Well we've just been to her.
37:03I don't know.
37:04I don't know.
37:05I don't know.
37:06It's for me parents.
37:07Well surely they've got somewhere.
37:08I know.
37:09But later on they'll need looking after.
37:10Later on huh?
37:11So there's no rush to get Miss Ford out then?
37:12Oh I wouldn't say that.
37:13You can't live a decent life not with her next door.
37:16How could I take the children to live there?
37:18Well you try to talk to her but you can't be kind to her.
37:25Well have you tried?
37:26We've just been normal.
37:27We've just done our jobs and acted natural.
37:31Well what more can you do?
37:33Well a bit extra.
37:34Well why?
37:35If you know she's difficult.
37:36I don't need to with other people.
37:37What they just accept you as you are?
37:38Yeah.
37:39Yeah.
37:40All right fine Mrs Walker.
37:45You must have a busy time then.
37:50With the post and the kids.
37:51It is a bit.
37:52It's not that bad.
37:53You read it all.
37:54Read it all.
37:55Read?
37:56Yeah I quite like the magazines.
37:58Books?
37:59Yeah now and again.
38:01Miss Ford reads a lot.
38:03Well she was a schoolmistress wasn't she?
38:06I mean she's got to pass the time somehow.
38:10It's the waiting.
38:11What's that Miss Ford?
38:12The waiting.
38:13That's a difficult time.
38:17Ha ha.
38:18Hey.
38:19You all right there?
38:20I suppose so.
38:21He never said not.
38:22No me neither.
38:23He just asked me to do some writing.
38:24He said.
38:25He said.
38:26He said.
38:27He said.
38:28I pushed something through her letterbox.
38:29And me.
38:30Yeah.
38:31cruel thing to say.
38:32What that note?
38:33No.
38:34No.
38:35Same weed did it.
38:36No.
38:37Same weed did it.
38:40Ha-ha. Hey. You all right, then?
38:44I suppose so. He never said not.
38:46No, no, me neither.
38:48He, er, he just asked me to do some writing.
38:52He said I'd push something through her letterbox.
38:55And me? Yeah.
38:57Cruel thing to say.
38:59What, that note?
39:00No, saying we did it.
39:02Hey, did you ask him to hear that, Inspector?
39:06About the cottage. About her.
39:09Not much, really. Thought there'd be more.
39:11So did I.
39:13He asked me if I could read. Daft.
39:16Hey, he asked me that.
39:18What sort of things I like to read. Why?
39:21Er, I don't know.
39:23Or maybe he's just being chatty.
39:26Dick's with him now.
39:29Do you always print?
39:31Aye, mostly. It's more clear, isn't it?
39:34I mean, people, when they leave notes about the milk,
39:36they mostly print, don't they?
39:38I mean, most of my customers, they...
39:41You read it, Tom.
39:43Read?
39:44Sometimes when I feel like it.
39:46Fond of your cousin Mary, are you?
39:48Fond? I suppose. Ah, yes, I am.
39:51Do you favours for her, would you?
39:52If I could.
39:53Like frightening the life out of Miss Ford?
39:56No, why should I?
39:57We've had disagreements, but I mean, Mary's business has nothing to do with me.
40:01I...
40:02I made a mistake about Miss Ford's milk it.
40:04It weren't deliberate.
40:05Did you put a note through her door this morning?
40:07No, why should I?
40:09She was there.
40:10If I had anything to say, I would have said it, wouldn't I?
40:12What did you do at her door?
40:33He's let them all go.
40:50Miss Ford?
40:54What was all that about?
40:55I don't want you here.
40:56I gathered that.
40:57You can get out all of you.
40:59All right?
41:00I think so, sir.
41:01Miss Ford wants us out.
41:03I'm not surprised.
41:09Mr. Steele put it in his pocket.
41:11Same pencil, Miss Ford, same writing.
41:22You pressed rather hard.
41:26Oh well, our forensic people will be interested in this as well.
41:30I was afraid.
41:32And you thought of the one thing that would hurt you most?
41:35The books.
41:36They'd want to burn them?
41:37I never gave them a thought.
41:39None of them has really ever given you a thought, Miss Ford.
41:42You made up so much, twisted so many things.
41:45But these things happened.
41:46Oh, things happened all right.
41:47But you coloured them.
41:49And apart from the distress you've caused other people,
41:52you've put the police to a great deal of inconvenience.
41:54With your job?
41:55No, Miss Ford.
41:56You've been a mischief maker
41:57and caused us a great deal more trouble than we need.
41:59Now, why go on like this?
42:00Like what?
42:01These constant complaints, serious complaints.
42:04And then you go and write that letter to yourself.
42:06No, I didn't.
42:07Mr. Haskell wrote it.
42:08It was you.
42:09You were prepared for Mr. Haskell,
42:10or any of the others for that matter,
42:11to take the blame.
42:13I'm sorry, Miss Ford,
42:14but you've been a mischief maker.
42:18You...
42:19You're going to arrest me?
42:21I think, for your own good,
42:23it would be wise if you came away with this.
42:25Well, it could be awkward, sir, if she intends staying up...
42:26Well, I don't intend starving her out.
42:38You there, Miss Ford?
42:40Miss Ford?
42:42Yes?
42:44Open the door, please.
42:46No.
42:47No.
42:52You ask.
42:55Miss Ford, it'd be better if you opened the door and came with us.
42:59No, it wouldn't.
43:01You must be sensible.
43:02Take a look around and see if you can find the key.
43:18Miss Ford, we're looking for the key.
43:19Is it about?
43:20No.
43:21I keep it in my pocket.
43:22Well, go on.
43:23Keep looking, it might still be down here.
43:48Are you comfortable in there?
43:51Go away.
44:00You're not doing yourself any good, you know.
44:04You realise what you've done, don't you?
44:06You falsely accused other people.
44:11You have brought false accusations, Miss Ford.
44:15A woman of your education.
44:18Now you know how silly that letter was, and so do I.
44:21If it's any interest to you, I can also understand why.
44:30You can't.
44:32Then you must tell us, Miss Ford.
44:34You must help us to understand.
44:36How can I?
44:42What happened 18 months ago, Miss Ford?
44:48Something happened, Miss Ford.
44:51What was it?
44:54He got married.
45:01After all these years,
45:03he got married and the letter stopped.
45:07I knew I was alone.
45:11Who was this, Miss Ford?
45:12Him?
45:16Yes, but who?
45:19He was mine.
45:23Try telling me about it.
45:25No.
45:26Why not?
45:27It'll help.
45:28He was a schoolteacher like me.
45:41We were promised to each other.
45:48Then I had to resign, and we were apart.
45:57He wrote for a bit.
46:01Then I knew it was over.
46:06Did you tell anyone?
46:07There wasn't anybody to tell them.
46:15Your relatives?
46:18I haven't got any relatives.
46:19I was given to understand you at any number.
46:26Oh.
46:28Oh, you could tell people anything.
46:32So what you told people about your relations just wasn't true?
46:35You must realize, Miss Ford,
46:40that you've had various officers out here
46:41and spoken to you at different times.
46:42You've spoken to them.
46:44You told one of them you had a brother and two sisters.
46:46That's what you told Sergeant Stone.
46:47I didn't...
46:48Perhaps you've forgotten.
46:52I do not forget.
47:01It's time for us all to go now, Miss Ford.
47:05No, I don't want to go.
47:06I'll never come back.
47:07They won't let me.
47:09It's for your own good.
47:11You'll put me in prison.
47:12I want to avoid that.
47:14I don't see how you can.
47:18It's treatment I want her for,
47:24not the inside of a neck.
47:26Just a matter of shifting her.
47:31No one wants to put you in prison, Miss Ford.
47:36Miss Ford, you really must open the door and come with us.
47:39I haven't done anything wrong.
47:40I'm only protecting myself from prosecution.
47:43We don't accept excuses for bad behavior.
47:48Where am I to go?
47:51Where am I to go?
48:15With us.
48:21But you won't be there all the time.
48:51You'll be wanting some books.
48:58You'll be there all the time.
49:05You'll be there all the time.
49:12You'll be there all the time.
49:19You'll be there all the time.
49:26You'll be there all the time.
49:33You'll be there all the time.
49:40You'll be there all the time.
49:47You'll be there all the time.
