"You see, when a foreign ship is three miles from the shore, no one can touch you, no matterwhat you've done." "Now off you go." "I'm tired." "Go on." "Go on." "One pair of blue jeans." " No marks?" " No." "Never met such an anonymous bloke." "He may be anonymous but his girlfriend's not." "Here's my ticket for promotion, Sarge." "You ought to be a detective." "The bag was outside Anya Haluba's old address, sir." "All right, Thomas." "There may be something in it." "I suppose we'd betterfollow it up." "But don't let Mr Barclay off the hook." "Did you see my bag?" "Sure." "I gave it to the police." "Open the door!" "Hey!" "(Siren bell)" "In trouble?" "(Knocking) Christine?" "We want to speak to you." "This is important." "Have you ever seen that man before?" "Why, that's the Polish girl." " The girl that was mur..." " Yes." "But who's the man?" "That photograph was found in the bag you brought in." "You know who it is, don't you?" "No." "No, I don't know." "You've not got a very good reputation." "If I find out that you're lying..." " I don't know him." " I think you do." " That bag was left here yesterday..." " But I didn't see who left it." "Perhaps someone else did." "Will you stop bothering me?" " Quick." "They've gone upstairs." " It's no good." "I'm done for." "All my papers were in that bag." "No papers, no ship." "I'm really done for if I don't get this ship." "Thanks." "Keep it." "And good luck." "This damn thing's a heck of a weight." "I've got no feeling left in my fingers." "Hello." "What's the matterwith you?" "Have you hurt yourself?" "I wonderwho she came with." "Is she one of the Thomas kids?" " No." "She wasn't on the coach." " Probably a local girl." "(/ Dance music on radio)" "Mind if I borrow your paper, mate?" " Hey." "Look at that." " Well, what about it?" "That's her." "The kid we just saw." " No." " It is." " I tell you it isn't." " Like to bet?" " How much?" " Ten bob." " Done." " Right." "Come on then." "There she is!" "Hey, stop her!" "Stop that kid!" " Got you!" " Let me go!" "Let me go!" "What did I tell you?" "It is her." " He's right." " Look." "No!" "No!" "It's not me." "It's not me!" "It's not!" "It's not!" "It's not!" "It's not!" "Your name is on the list." "That doesn't guarantee you the job." "That's up to the captain." " Have you?" " How much?" "One, two, three, four... five." "Thanks." "If I might make a suggestion." "Quite off the record, understand?" " Compris?" " Mm." "She's in the Queen Alexandra dock, numberfive berth." "So you deliberately lied to me, then?" " Yes." " Why did you lie to me, Gillie?" "Why?" "Dunno." "I wouldn't have you for a friend, Gillie." "I want to be able to trust my friends." "I couldn't trust you." "I'd never know if you were telling me the truth or not." "I'd always know you were thinking about Gillie Evans first." "I'd say to myself, "Not worth bothering about."" "Look at me." "Look at me!" "I want the truth now." "Am I going to get it?" "Don't say yes unless you mean it." " Yes." " Good." "So you saw a man hide the gun on top of the gas meter and then you took it yourself?" "Yes." "She is telling the truth." "I know when Gillie's lying." "Thank you, but please don't interrupt." "Now, Gillie, what happened then?" "Then I took it with me to the church." "For safety." "I see." "But why didn't you come home after the service?" " A man frightened me." " A man?" " What man?" " I don't know." " Had you seen him before?" " I don't know." "You don't know?" "Had you or hadn't you seen him before?" "Think, Gillie." "Well, I think he was the man I told you about on the stairs." " You're not sure?" " It was dark." " How did he frighten you?" " He chased me." " What did you do?" " I ran away." " Why was he chasing you?" " Cos of the gun, I suppose." "I thought if he caught me he might shoot me with it, so I threw it away." " Where?" " Over a wall near a pub." "Why are you breaking your contract with the British Marine Pool?" " Why are you breaking it?" " Personal reasons." " Police after you or something?" " I hope not." "All right." "We take you on." "Contract for a single passage." " Sign up at Caracas." " Yes, sir." "Remember." "We sail on this tide." "Now report to the purser." "I ran and ran." "Then I heard that the police wanted me and I was scared to go home in case I got into trouble." "Where d'you hear that?" "Look at me, Gillie." " On the wireless." " What wireless?" "The ticket man's." "The one by the ferry." "What did you do then?" "I ran away up into the hills." " And stayed there alone all night?" " Yes." " Weren't you frightened?" " Well..." "Yes, I was." "I know I would have been." "I suppose you'd recognise this man if you saw him again, wouldn't you?" " Suppose I might." " Hm." "Let's go and see, shall we?" " Bridges, we're coming out now." " 'Straight away, sir?" "'" " Yes." "Right away." " 'Right, sir.'" "Would you mind waiting, Mrs Phillips?" "Come on, Gillie." " Come on." " Go on, Gillie." "Do as you're told." "Mr Bridges, this is the young lady who's been so helpful to us." "Mrs Bridges will explain everything." "Take care of her, will you?" "Come along, Gillie." "There's nothing to be afraid of." "I want you to take your time." "Start from this end." "Can you describe the man that lived with her?" " It's a long time ago now." " This the chap?" " The face is familiar." " He was here yesterday." " You know more than I do." " His name?" "There ought to be a medicine for bad memory." "There is." "A simple one." "May I see your records, please?" "Thanks." "Now, Gillie." "Where have you seen this man before?" "Where I live" " Llanwis Court." " When?" " (Telephone)" " Yes." " 'I've identified the photograph.'" " Well?" " 'He's a sailor named Bronislav..." "'Korchinsky.'" " Bronislav Kor..." "What?" " 'Korchinsky.'" "Korchinsky." "Right." "I'm busy now." "Later." "Now, Gillie, about this man." "When did you see him?" " I saw him yesterday." " Go on." "He's the man I saw come out of the flat." "Are you positive, Gillie?" "You're absolutely certain?" "Yes." "He's the man who shot her." "I saw him." "Wait a minute." "You can't say that." "You could have heard the shot but you couldn't have seen it." "Is he the man you saw hide the revolver?" "Yes." "But he did shoot her, I know he did." "I saw him." " Through the letter box." " The letter box?" " But, Gillie, how could you?" " I did." "I tell you, I did." "I'll show you if you don't believe me." "Why didn't you tell me this before?" "I..." "I was scared." "I didn't know you'd caught him." "All right, Gillie." "Show us what you saw through that letter box." "And then he took hold of her and shook her and shook her!" "Then she pulled away and said something that made him more angry." "So angry that he pushed that table aside and whammed her!" "And she fell against the thing and opened the drawer and took out the gun and pointed it at him." "And he fought and struggled and fought and got the gun away from her!" "She started yelling and shouting again and yelling and shouting." " He yelled back..." " What were they saying?" "Dunno." "They was talking Polish." "Then he shot her." "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "And then she sank." "Get up, Gillie." "Get up." "Then he started coming out of the room, so I ran up the stairs and hid." "Scared he'd catch me." "That's the truth." "Honest." "That's the real truth." "Yes, Gillie." "I believe you." "But how did you know it was Polish?" "Sit down." "Look." "It's down here in writing." "You said, "They was talking Polish."" "Well, she was Polish, wasn't she?" "Everyone knew that." " But how did you know it was Polish?" " I just guessed." " She was talking a foreign language." " And the man too." "You said "they"." " I... said she..." "I didn't hear him." " Gillie!" " I didn't!" " You're lying again, Gillie." " I'm not." " Did you hear the man's name?" " No." " Bronislav Korchinsky." "No." "Have you ever heard the name Bronislav Korchinsky?" "No." "Yes." "Korchinsky." "K-O-R-C-H-l-N-S-K-Y." "You have a list for the Marine Pool?" " Does he have a British passport?" " Look it up and see." "Korchinsky..." "Bronislav Korchinsky." "Signed off Northern Star yesterday." " Could he have signed on a ship?" " Not with us." "Thanks." "Good luck to you." "Mr Morgan?" " Has the Poloma sailed yet?" " Yes." "There." " Did she take on any crew here?" " Yes." "There." "Korchinsky." " I want to stop that ship." " Stop her?" "You can't." "She's dropped her pilot." " You might catch her off Barry." " Thanks." "She must be about here." "She'll be inside the three-mile limit for a half-hour." "We can make Barry in ten minutes." "Have a pilot boat waiting at Barry." "Bring the girl." " Where are we going?" " You'll see." "Straight on." "Stick to the coast road." "That looks like the Poloma." "I feel sick." "Get on!" "(Horn blares)" "Get back, man!" "Get back!" "Get that ruddy thing out of it!" "Get that thing off the road!" "Quick!" "Ye gods!" " Hurt yourself?" " Yes." "Yes, I have." " No bones broken?" " Yes." "Yes, I think so." "My leg." "Bad luck." "We'll put it in splints on the boat." " The Poloma's not answering." " Can we catch her in this?" " Not a hope." " Keep signalling." " We must stop her in the limit." " All right, sir." "Can't you get them?" "They're answering now, sir." "Are we still inside the three-mile limit?" "Yes." "We are." "Sorry, Captain, but you've got a man on board I've got to talk to." "He's a member of your crew." "Korchinsky." "Bronislav Korchinsky." " Korchinsky?" " Si, capitan." "Este es Korchinsky." "Yo compromiso de mio." " Llame a Korchinsky a mi camarote." " Si, capitan." "Korchinsky!" "The Captain wants to see you." " Cigarillos?" " No, thank you, Captain." " (Knocking)" " Adelante!" "Adelante." "Adelante." "Bueno." "Expliquese." " You are Bronislav Korchinsky?" " Yes, sir." "That is my name." "Come with me." "I say you were in Miss Haluba's flat yesterday." "You had a violent quarrel and she fired a shot." " You seized the gun and killed her!" " I wasn't there!" "You say you did not see Miss Haluba yesterday?" "Yes, I do!" "Now, Gillie, this is the man you've been telling us about, isn't it?" "No." "Gillie, look at him." "Look at him." "Look at him carefully now." "Take your time." "You only got a glimpse of him through the letter box and you told us it was dark on the landing." "Now is this anything like the man you saw coming out of the flat?" "No." "I've never seen him before in my life." " Se termino?" " He asks if you're satisfied." " No!" " Lo siento!" "Yo Io siento!" "No puedo demorar mas la salida de mi buque!" "Tendre que informar de todo el incidente al consul de Londres." "He cannot hold back the ship." "Each minute costs thousands of dollars." " Tell the Captain..." " He will report it to the Consul." " Tell him I want one more minute." " Dice que se quedara un minuto mas." "Don't be frightened." "He can't hurt you now." "I'm not frightened." "I don't know him." "I never seen him." " You must tell the truth, Gillie." " It is the truth." " Why should I lie about him?" " The truth, Gillie!" "Gillie." "Look at me." "Now..." "In this world we sometimes have to tell little lies, to help other people, ourfriends." "We call this being loyal." "Everybody admires and loves somebody who's loyal." "But sometimes it's very wrong to tell even little lies if by doing so we help somebody bad to go free." "That's not being loyal, Gillie, that's being very wicked." "You don't want to be wicked, do you?" "Now this is the one moment that you must tell me the truth." "The truth, Gillie." "This is the man you saw come out of the flat." "Isn't it?" "Isn't it?" "Look at him, Gillie." "Look at him." "This is the man you saw come out of the flat." "Isn't it, Gillie?" "Isn't it?" "Isn't it?" "No." "I've never seen him before in my life." " Digale que vuelva a su trabajo." " All right." "You can go." " Wait a minute." " What is it now?" "What else do you want?" "The girl says she doesn't know me!" "Don't you listen?" "!" "She said no!" "Isn't that enough?" "!" "No." "I haven't got the evidence I need yet but I can hold you." "Bronislav Korchinsky, I arrest you for the murder of Anya Haluba." " You need not say anything..." " No!" "No, you can't!" " I didn't see him do anything!" "...taken down and used in evidence." " I didn't!" "I never seen him!" " Get her out of here." "I didn't!" "I didn't!" "Please thank the Captain for his courtesy." "Tell him I regret the necessity of removing one of his crew." "Thank you, Superintendent." "I understand that you have caused me a great deal of trouble." "Cual es la posicion?" "Come on." "Korchinsky!" "Just a moment, please." "You cannot take this man off my ship." "He's outside British jurisdiction." "We're within the three-mile limit." "Evidently, Superintendent, you do not know about drift and tide and wind." "This is my navigator's report." "Our exact position is just beyond your three-mile limit." "Why should I believe this?" "Because you have no alternative." "Besides, my navigator is not in the habit of giving false information." "You are powerless." "Your orders mean nothing on this ship." "Yourwarrant is a mere scrap of paper." "All right." "Supposing this report is correct, you could still let me take him off." " I could, but I will not." " Why not?" "That's my business." "Korchinsky, go back to your duties." "I'm sorry, Superintendent, but I cannot have any further argument." "I must ask you to get off my ship." "We have already lost too much time." "Thank you, Captain." "I hope one day we can repay your cooperation." "Goodbye, Superintendent." " You had nothing to hold him on." " Nothing except the girl." " Where is she?" " Gillie?" "Gillie?" "Gillie!" "Gillie!" "Get that girl off the ship." "I want to get underway." "Sorry, sir." "I'll find her." "But don't find her too soon." "Right, sir." "Where is the girl?" "We'll find her." "Leave this to us." "Don't want to frighten her." "Get back to the launch." "Get me a radio fix." "I want to know our exact position." "I think the Captain and the navigator are cooking the bloody books." "I'm taking Korchinsky off this ship." "Right, sir." "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "Go back to them!" "Please go back!" "I'm not going back!" "I'm not!" "Hide me!" "Quick, hide me!" "You can't stay here." "You can't." "Don't you see?" "You can only help me..." "Help me, Gillie." "By getting off here." "By getting off this ship." "Every minute..." "Every second you are here, it's bad for me." "Very, very, very bad." "You must trust me, Gillie." "Trust me." "Please." "Go." "Go now." " But I can come with..." " No." "You must get off this boat immediately." "You understand?" "At once." "But we're past the three-mile limit." "The Captain said so." "We're safe." "You could take me with you." "But I don't want you." "I don't want you." "I don't want you!" "I don't want you!" "Gillie." "I didn't mean it." "I didn't mean to say that." "The Captain's right." "We're outside the three-mile limit." "Aagh!" "(Klaxon blares)" "Have a nice hot drink, eh?" "And we'll get you into some dry clothes." "Get some brandy!" "Bronic!" "Bronic." "Well... you've got your man." "Yes, I have." "Avery brave man."
