00:30:25Oh, please make him proud.
00:30:40Oh, nurse, what are you doing, dear?
00:30:42I'm only waiting.
00:30:44What, you don't want to make a call?
00:30:46No.
00:30:47Well, then, if you'll excuse me, you mind making one?
00:30:49Because I've had a puncture, so I'm going to be a bit late.
00:30:52You missed the bus, you know.
00:30:54Yes, I know.
00:30:56Oh, dear, I hadn't four pennies.
00:30:58I wondered you could change sixpence for me, could you?
00:31:00Yes, I'd expect so.
00:31:01No, no, no, no, it's all right.
00:31:03I knew I had four pennies somewhere.
00:31:09Hello?
00:31:10No, no, don't press that letter.
00:31:11You're through to a call box.
00:31:12You've got the wrong number.
00:31:15We don't want to waste your pennies, do we?
00:31:23Hello?
00:31:24Just to say I'll be a bit late.
00:31:26Yes, I had a measly puncture.
00:31:28No, shan't be long.
00:31:29Okay.
00:31:33You know the next bus doesn't come till another hour, dear.
00:31:35Yes, I know.
00:31:36Well, what are you going to do?
00:31:37I shall wait for it.
00:31:38But you can't be here all alone.
00:31:40It'll be dark soon.
00:31:41I don't mind.
00:31:42I never heard such nonsense.
00:31:44I'm sure it's true.
00:31:45I'm sure it's true.
00:31:46I'm sure it's true.
00:31:47I'm sure it's true.
00:31:48I'm sure it's true.
00:31:49I'm sure it's true.
00:31:50I'm sure it's true.
00:31:51I never heard such nonsense.
00:31:52I shall see you along to the checkers and you can wait there.
00:31:54No, please.
00:31:55I'd much rather wait here.
00:31:56I never heard such nonsense in all my life.
00:31:58I would run, say, if I let you stay here.
00:32:00Now, come along.
00:32:01I'm not going to have you stay all alone in the dark for another hour.
00:32:04Never mind.
00:32:05Don't you worry about missing the bus.
00:32:06Anyone can do that.
00:32:07It's always go-slow business.
00:32:09You'll never know where you are with the buses.
00:32:11They're either here or there or gone or anywhere.
00:32:13Now, come along, dear.
00:32:14Hurry up.
00:32:15Oh, you're making me late, too.
00:32:16Come on.
00:32:17There we are.
00:32:18There we are.
00:32:31Oh, hello, Ron.
00:32:33What happened?
00:32:34Don't tell me there was a bus strike.
00:32:35No, I just missed it.
00:32:37What did you do, stop for a kip on the way?
00:32:39Oh, I told you, Ron.
00:32:40I just missed it.
00:32:41Oh, well, it can't be helped.
00:32:42I'd better ring them up and tell them you're here.
00:32:44Then your dad can come and collect you.
00:32:45No, don't do that.
00:32:46I can catch the next one.
00:32:47You want to get me shot?
00:32:48You don't have kittens if you're not home by 10.
00:32:52Daddy, be furious.
00:32:53You know how he hates getting the car out at night.
00:32:55Don't worry.
00:32:56Blame it all on Timmy.
00:33:01I'm awfully sorry, Daddy.
00:33:03Now, don't say another word about it.
00:33:05I'm so glad you had the sense to go back to Ron's and phone me.
00:33:09Now, come along.
00:33:10Cheer up, old girl.
00:33:12You see, the buses...
00:33:13Oh, hang the old bus.
00:33:14I didn't mind turning up.
00:33:16In fact, I'm quite enjoying myself.
00:33:26What is the trouble, Jeanie?
00:33:29I want to tell you.
00:33:30Really, I do.
00:33:31But...
00:33:33I know.
00:33:34I know.
00:33:36Things seem terribly big and important when you're young.
00:33:39It's one of the consolations of growing old.
00:33:41You don't have to worry so much.
00:33:43Believe me, darling.
00:33:44Tomorrow, everything in the garden will be wonderful.
00:33:48I do hope so.
00:33:49Of course it will.
00:33:51You mustn't take things so seriously.
00:34:15PHONE RINGS
00:34:20Hello.
00:34:21Is that you, Samantha?
00:34:22Yes, it's me.
00:34:25What happened to you last night?
00:34:26Oh, I was waiting for you to phone.
00:34:29I missed my bus.
00:34:30Were you alone?
00:34:31Yes.
00:34:33I don't think you're telling the truth, Samantha.
00:34:35Oh, yes, honestly.
00:34:37There was someone with you.
00:34:38A woman.
00:34:39Oh, her.
00:34:41Mrs. Mason.
00:34:42But she wasn't with me.
00:34:43She just came as you rang.
00:34:46Look, I'm awfully sorry.
00:34:48But it really wasn't my fault.
00:34:53Hello?
00:34:54Hello?
00:34:56Are you still there?
00:34:58I rang again a few minutes later.
00:35:00If you had missed the bus, you'd still have been there to answer.
00:35:04I wanted to wait, but she wouldn't let me.
00:35:07Oh, please.
00:35:08Please, don't be angry.
00:35:10Well...
00:35:11I was disappointed, Samantha.
00:35:13Naturally.
00:35:15But I couldn't help it.
00:35:16Really, I couldn't.
00:35:18You must believe me.
00:35:22Hello?
00:35:23Hello?
00:35:41Hello?
00:36:07Hello?
00:36:12Nice evening.
00:36:14Yes.
00:36:15Have you finished with the phone?
00:36:18It's out of order.
00:36:19Oh, how maddening of it.
00:36:21I'll tell you what, let me have a try.
00:36:22I'm lucky at most things.
00:36:23I told you, it's no good.
00:36:24It's out of order.
00:36:25Oh.
00:36:26Well, I could give you a lift into Bilhurst.
00:36:27You could phone from there.
00:36:28No, thanks.
00:36:29Don't you want to make a call?
00:36:31It doesn't matter anymore.
00:36:32You're not very friendly, are you?
00:36:34No.
00:36:35You don't really want to make a phone call, do you?
00:36:38No.
00:36:40It's all your fault.
00:36:41You shouldn't be so attractive.
00:36:43Ah, well.
00:36:44It's not my lucky day.
00:36:53You don't want to change your mind?
00:36:55I wish you'd go away.
00:36:56I...
00:37:07Hello?
00:37:08Hello, Samantha.
00:37:10We were cut off.
00:37:11Oh, I'm so glad you've come back.
00:37:13What's the matter?
00:37:14You sound all breathless.
00:37:15Oh, there was a man.
00:37:17What man?
00:37:18Oh, just now, while I was waiting.
00:37:20Were you frightened?
00:37:21No, not really.
00:37:24I can't tell you how glad I am to hear your voice again.
00:37:27I like your saying that, Samantha.
00:37:30What did he want, that man?
00:37:32Oh, he said he wanted you as the phone.
00:37:35But I told him it was out of order.
00:37:38That was clever of you.
00:37:40Has he gone now?
00:37:41Yes, in a car.
00:37:42So now you're all on your own again?
00:37:44That's right.
00:37:46All alone, at the end of a lane.
00:37:49Which lane, Samantha?
00:37:51Harper's Lane.
00:37:52The one that leads into Hawkswood Lane.
00:37:55Poor darling Samantha.
00:37:58Why poor?
00:38:00Well, I don't like to think of you all on your own in that lonely lane.
00:38:04Being talked to by strange men.
00:38:06I don't mind.
00:38:07Not now, I'm talking to you.
00:38:10You're adorable, Samantha.
00:38:14Isn't it strange?
00:38:16What?
00:38:17Well, we could pass each other in broad daylight and we shouldn't know each other.
00:38:22But if you spoke, I should know you at once, Samantha.
00:38:25By your voice.
00:38:27I love your voice.
00:38:30But you know that.
00:38:33I love yours, too.
00:38:37Do you?
00:38:39Isn't it time we met, Samantha?
00:38:42What about tomorrow night?
00:38:45Tomorrow night?
00:38:46Yes.
00:38:47Will you be catching the same bus?
00:38:50Well, yes.
00:38:51I mean, no.
00:38:52What do you mean?
00:38:54Well, I should be catching the bus at ten.
00:38:56An hour later.
00:38:57Well, that's all the better.
00:38:58I'll meet you outside the call box at ten to ten tomorrow.
00:39:01Please.
00:39:03Oh, please.
00:39:05Samantha?
00:39:07All right.
00:39:08Wonderful.
00:39:10At the bus stop at the end of Harper's Lane.
00:39:12But you don't know where it is.
00:39:14Oh, yes, I do.
00:39:15I'll be there at ten to ten.
00:39:16And, strictly, no telling your girlfriends.
00:39:20No.
00:39:22No telling.
00:39:24I shall be counting every second.
00:39:27Will you?
00:39:30So shall I.
00:39:32And Samantha?
00:39:34Yes.
00:39:35Don't talk to any more strange men.
00:39:38Will you promise?
00:39:41Good night, Samantha.
00:39:43I'll see you.
00:39:45Tomorrow.
00:39:48Tomorrow.
00:40:05Tomorrow.
00:40:27Molly, do you know what happened to me?
00:40:29I'd never guess.
00:40:30Well, I was nearly proposed to and picked up
00:40:32all in the space of one minute.
00:40:34He's doing his best to make an honest woman of you.
00:40:36Oh, it wasn't one man, it was two.
00:40:38You do collect them, don't you?
00:40:40I know, and it's a terrible strain on the nervous system.
00:40:42I'm still shaking.
00:40:44And you need shaking, if you ask me.
00:40:46There must be some funny goings-on up at the checkers.
00:40:49Oh, it wasn't in the checkers, it was in the phone box.
00:40:51Two men, did you say?
00:40:53All three of you in a puppet call box.
00:40:55What?
00:40:56Next.
00:40:57Only one man.
00:40:58The other one, my one, he wasn't there.
00:41:00You know, if ever there was a proper nutcase, it's you, dear.
00:41:04Can I have the fare, please?
00:41:05If you've forgotten your purse again,
00:41:07and all the excitement of the chase.
00:41:13Mummy?
00:41:14Hmm?
00:41:15There's a dance in Amesley tomorrow night.
00:41:17Is there?
00:41:18Can I go?
00:41:19All the junior branches of the league are going.
00:41:20I expect so, dear, but you'll have to ask Daddy first.
00:41:25Daddy?
00:41:28I say, I say, this is an unusual show of affection.
00:41:31Still, I'm glad we're on speaking terms again.
00:41:33I want to ask you something.
00:41:34Ah, yes, I thought there was a catch in it.
00:41:36There's a dance in Amesley tomorrow night.
00:41:37Is there?
00:41:38Yes, there is. Can I go?
00:41:39No, dear.
00:41:40But why not?
00:41:41Because I say no, dear.
00:41:43But it's a teenage dance and I'm 14.
00:41:45Other girls of 14 are going.
00:41:47I've said no and I mean no.
00:41:49You're always saying no.
00:41:51It's the only tune you can play.
00:41:52No, no, no, no, no.
00:41:59Yes, I suppose you think I'm a bit hard on her.
00:42:01Well, yes, I do, anyway.
00:42:03Well, look at this.
00:42:05Another young girl murdered and I'm 10 miles from here.
00:42:09Oh, no.
00:42:13Terrifying.
00:42:16They haven't caught him yet.
00:42:17No.
00:42:19Look, let me have that paper.
00:42:21I don't want the girls reading it and getting frightened.
00:42:23Well, it might be a good thing.
00:42:25No, dear. No, I don't think so.
00:42:31You've got me worried about Jean now.
00:42:33What's the time?
00:42:36She ought to be home by now.
00:42:55Hello.
00:42:56Hello, darling.
00:42:57A little bit late.
00:42:58Yes, the bus was late.
00:42:59About five minutes.
00:43:00Hello, Daddy.
00:43:01Hi, my darling.
00:43:02Everything all right now?
00:43:03Oh, wonderful.
00:43:04There you are.
00:43:05I told you so.
00:43:06And you're right.
00:43:07But then you always are.
00:43:08Timmy all right?
00:43:09Oh, just as naughty as ever.
00:43:11Did you remember the pie dish?
00:43:13What dish?
00:43:15The one you took the pies in, silly.
00:43:17Oh, my memory.
00:43:19I just can't trust it anymore.
00:43:21Well, that's all my pie dishes are wrong.
00:43:23We're not made of pie dishes, you know.
00:43:27Oh, Daddy, it's so sad.
00:43:28It's too bad.
00:43:29It's so sad.
00:43:30We're just not made of pie dishes.
00:43:33I'll bring it back tomorrow night, Mummy.
00:43:35No, you can't, darling.
00:43:36You're not going tomorrow.
00:43:38Not going?
00:43:40But you promised.
00:43:42And you told Ron I could even stay later.
00:43:44Well, dear, I've changed my mind.
00:43:46But you can't.
00:43:47What's going on at Ron's?
00:43:50Nothing.
00:43:51Why all the fuss?
00:43:52But it's Saturday night and he really needs me, Daddy.
00:43:56Listen, I've talked to Ron on the telephone
00:43:59and I've told him that you're not going tomorrow night.
00:44:03Oh, could you?
00:44:05Darling, why are you so upset?
00:44:07What is going on?
00:44:15I'm sure I knew what was the matter.
00:44:16There's something.
00:44:18Don't say she's fallen ill.
00:44:20Don't say she's fallen in love with Ron.
00:44:22Oh, don't be absurd, dear.
00:44:24Oh, dear, at their age, they'll fall in love with anyone.
00:44:32What's up?
00:44:34Oh, Father.
00:44:36Oh, him.
00:44:37I've had him in a big way.
00:44:39Here, what did you do with all my make-up?
00:44:41You'll see.
00:44:42And anyway, I only used a bit.
00:44:45Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble.
00:44:48I, Anne Painter, curse you, Edward Painter,
00:44:51for being a mean, lousy old faggot.
00:44:54What's he done to you?
00:44:56Stopped me going to the dance tomorrow night.
00:44:58And you?
00:44:59No, he stopped me going to Ron's.
00:45:01Old misery.
00:45:02What do you think's come over him?
00:45:04I don't know.
00:45:05Second childhood, I should think.
00:45:07Well, he's crossed my path for the last time.
00:45:09I hope this works.
00:45:11It should give him sudden and very painful cramps.
00:45:15Here, I've got an idea.
00:45:17What?
00:45:18He can't stop us going to the cinema.
00:45:20He'd better not try.
00:45:22Especially if we say we're going together.
00:45:25What are you cooking?
00:45:27Well, my boyfriend phoned me tonight,
00:45:30and I promised to meet him tomorrow night at ten to ten.
00:45:32And I can't possibly let him down.
00:45:34You mean you're actually going to meet him?
00:45:36Well, only for ten minutes.
00:45:38Where?
00:45:39At the phone box.
00:45:40I think this curse must be working already.
00:45:42Studied through our fit, never mind the cramps.
00:45:44Now, listen.
00:45:45We both leave here in time for the last performance.
00:45:47You go on to the cinema, and then you can tell me the story later.
00:45:50And what are you going to do?
00:45:52Well, I'll catch the bus to Harpers Lane.
00:45:54It gets there about 9.15.
00:45:56And I'll meet you outside the cinema afterwards.
00:45:58Then we can go home together.
00:46:01Okay.
00:46:05Now, don't forget, Anne.
00:46:06I'll see you outside after the film.
00:46:08What are you going to do till the bus leaves?
00:46:10Oh, I can have a coffee or something.
00:46:12That means you'll have at least half an hour to wait at Harpers Lane.
00:46:15That's right.
00:46:16So what are you going to do while you're waiting?
00:46:18Oh, I can walk up and down the lane.
00:46:20Walk up and down Harpers Lane?
00:46:21For half an hour?
00:46:22In the dark, all on your own?
00:46:24What else can I do?
00:46:25You're crazy.
00:46:26Someone's sure to see you hanging about.
00:46:28And they're bound to tell Ron.
00:46:29And he's sure to tell Daddy.
00:46:31Oh, no, they won't.
00:46:32And anywhere I can hide.
00:46:33Where?
00:46:34In a field.
00:46:35In a field?
00:46:37Why not?
00:46:38You're going to walk up that creepy lane
00:46:40and hide in a field in your best shoes
00:46:42and wait for a complete stranger.
00:46:44Look, Anne, he's not a complete stranger.
00:46:46And anyway, it's all I can do if I'm going to meet him.
00:46:49Now, don't forget, I'll see you outside after the show.
00:46:52All right?
00:47:11Look, Gene, why don't you change your mind
00:47:13and see the film with me?
00:47:15He's only a voice on the telephone.
00:47:17He might be awful.
00:47:19Don't be so childish, Anne.
00:47:21You're just as bad as Daddy.
00:47:23I hope you'll be all right.
00:47:26See you later.
00:47:27And don't fuss.
00:47:40My word, you're all dressed up for a kill.
00:47:42Ron's throwing a party.
00:47:43I'm not going to Ron's.
00:47:44Harper's Lane, please.
00:47:46Well, if you're not going to Ron's,
00:47:47what on earth do you want to go to Harper's Lane for?
00:47:49Oh, I'm meeting my boyfriend there.
00:47:51Oh, no.
00:47:52But the one you've met but you haven't met.
00:47:54All that nonsense.
00:47:55It isn't nonsense, Molly.
00:47:56I'm meeting him tonight.
00:47:58The first time?
00:47:59Yes.
00:48:00I'm going to meet him.
00:48:01I'm going to meet him.
00:48:02I'm going to meet him.
00:48:03I'm going to meet him.
00:48:04I'm going to meet him.
00:48:05I'm going to meet him.
00:48:06I'm going to meet him.
00:48:07I'm going to meet him.
00:48:08I'm going to meet him.
00:48:09The first time?
00:48:10Yes.
00:48:11What do you know about him?
00:48:14Oh, nothing really.
00:48:15Except he's wonderful.
00:48:17Are you crazy, Jean?
00:48:19He might be anything.
00:48:20Oh, not with a voice like that.
00:48:22You can always tell.
00:48:24My foot.
00:48:25Look, Molly, just because you don't like men.
00:48:27If I was your father, I'd turn you behind.
00:48:30This so-called boyfriend of yours, what's his name?
00:48:34I don't know.
00:48:35You don't know?
00:48:36What do you know about him, then?
00:48:38I'll tell you all about him on the way back.
00:48:46Did you read the paper this morning?
00:48:48Yes, I read the comic strips.
00:48:51There was a girl your age found strangled in a field.
00:48:54There's always something like that in the papers.
00:48:57How daft can you get?
00:48:59If I hadn't got a job of work to do, I'd take you straight back home myself.
00:49:02Look, Molly, you don't have to dramatize everything.
00:49:05How do you ever meet anyone if you just stay at home all the time?
00:49:08Jean, I'm warning you for your own good.
00:49:11When you get off at Harper's Lane, you go straight to the Chequers.
00:49:14It's not too late.
00:49:35I'm sorry.
00:50:05I'm sorry.
00:50:35I'm sorry.
00:51:05I'm sorry.
00:51:21Hello, Samantha.
00:51:24I don't like to think of you all on your own in that lonely lane.
00:51:32You're adorable, Samantha.
00:51:35I love your voice.
00:51:37But you know that.
00:51:43I shall be counting every second.
00:51:46Good night, Samantha.
00:51:48I'll see you...
00:51:50tomorrow.
00:52:06You're not going to walk up that creepy lane and hide in a field...
00:52:10to wait for a complete stranger.
00:52:13Only a voice on the telephone.
00:52:15He might be awful.
00:52:18He might be awful.
00:52:21He might be awful.
00:52:23I hope you'll be all right.
00:52:26I hope you'll be all right.
00:52:29I hope you'll be all right.
00:52:35I hope you'll be all right.
00:52:45My word, you're all dressed up for the kill.
00:52:50What do you know about him?
00:52:53Are you crazy, Jean?
00:52:55He might be anything.
00:52:58You don't know. What do you know about him, then?
00:53:02Did you read the paper this morning?
00:53:06There was a girl your age found stranded in a field.
00:53:10Stranded in a field.
00:53:13Stranded in a field.
00:53:35Stranded in a field.
00:53:46Good evening.
00:53:47Good evening, sir.
00:53:48A large brandy and soda, please.
00:53:50Large brandy and soda.
00:53:54By the way, may I use your phone?
00:53:56Someone's just gone out to use it.
00:53:58Oh, there's no hurry. Just as long as I can get my call in about ten to ten.
00:54:02You've got plenty of time.
00:54:04It is Harper's Lane that runs from here to the bus stop.
00:54:07That's right.
00:54:09I'm staying near here with friends and I just wanted to be sure I was on the right road.
00:54:12A brandy and soda, sir.
00:54:13Thank you.
00:54:14That'll be five bucks.
00:54:15Thank you.
00:54:19Jean!
00:54:23Jean!
00:54:29Jean!
00:54:34Jean!
00:54:36Jean!
00:54:39Jean!
00:54:49Ron?
00:54:50Jean!
00:54:51What on earth are you doing here?
00:54:53Jean, are you all right?
00:54:55Yes.
00:54:56Will you phone Daddy and ask him to come and fetch me?
00:55:00What are you doing here? He said he wasn't going to let you come.
00:55:03I'll phone Daddy, Ron.
00:55:05You still haven't told me what you're doing here.
00:55:07And he's bound to ask.
00:55:10I'd be such an idiot.
00:55:13I promised to meet a man by the bus stop.
00:55:16He'll be right with you.
00:55:17A man? What man?
00:55:18I don't know. I didn't meet him.
00:55:20Just as well, I should think.
00:55:22Take it easy. There's no great harm done.
00:55:25Now, this thing's the best thing to do.
00:55:27Now, this thing's the best thing to do.
00:55:29There's no point in dragging your father out at this time of night.
00:55:32You could catch the ten o'clock bus.
00:55:33I can't. That man will be there waiting for me.
00:55:36All right, I'll ring your dad in a minute.
00:55:38Coming.
00:55:39Look, I've got some customers to attend to.
00:55:41You wait right here. I'll be back.
00:55:43OK?
00:55:53Is the phone free now?
00:55:54Yes, it's all yours.
00:55:55Oh, it's very kind of you. I do hope you don't mind.
00:55:57It's only a local call.
00:55:58It's all right with me, but you'll need fourpence.
00:56:00It's a call box.
00:56:01Ah, well, I wonder in that case if you'd be kind enough to let me have some change.
00:56:04I know I haven't any coffers.
00:56:06Certainly.
00:56:07Thank you very much.
00:56:26Just have a seat.
00:56:27Thank you.
00:56:56Hello?
00:56:58Hello, Samantha.
00:57:00I just wanted to make sure you were there.
00:57:02Now, don't go away, will you? I'll be right with you.
00:57:04And then we can really meet, Samantha.
00:57:06Wouldn't that be wonderful?
00:57:09I'll be seeing you, Samantha, in just a few minutes.
00:57:13Goodbye.
00:57:26Sorry, were you waiting for the phone?
00:57:29Oh, that's all right, then.
00:57:37Ron! Ron!
00:57:39Coming, we'll be a sec.
00:57:46Police!
00:57:49Please come quickly!
00:57:51To Harper's Lane!
00:57:52To Harper's Lane.
00:57:54Fill a call box.
00:58:00Now, what's the matter?
00:58:01That man, he's going to the bus stop in Harper's Lane.
00:58:03What about it?
00:58:04It's the man I was going to meet.
00:58:05Only there's another girl there now.
00:58:06I've just heard him talking to her.
00:58:08Ron, he might do anything.
00:58:09He might kill her.
00:58:10Now, take it easy.
00:58:11He's just gone to meet a friend.
00:58:12He's not, I tell you.
00:58:13He's gone to get her.
00:58:14Only...
00:58:15Oh, Ron, for heaven's sake.
00:58:17Now, look, he might have arranged to call her, for all you know.
00:58:19He arranged to call me.
00:58:20Only I'm not there, and now she's there.
00:58:22And she's in danger instead of me.
00:58:25Oh, Ron, you just don't understand.
00:58:27I'm afraid I don't.
00:58:28Now, look, I've got some thirsty customers in there.
00:58:30I'll attend to them, then I'll ring your dad.
00:58:32All right?
00:58:42James!
00:58:45James!
00:58:50Nine...
00:58:52Seven...
00:59:04Oh, God!
00:59:07Ron!
00:59:08Yes?
00:59:09Have you any idea of the number of the call box?
00:59:11I don't know.
00:59:12What phone box?
00:59:13The one in Harper's Lane.
00:59:14I haven't a clue, I'm afraid.
00:59:16It's not the sort of thing you usually remember.
00:59:18Does anyone here know the number?
00:59:19No, no.
00:59:21I can't remember, never used that box.
00:59:23It's all right, I think I've got it.
00:59:27Nine...
00:59:29Four...
00:59:31Seven...
00:59:32Two...
00:59:34Nine...
00:59:49Hello?
00:59:50Hello?
01:00:01Hello?
01:00:03Look, whoever you are, you're in danger.
01:00:05There's a man coming and he's coming for you.
01:00:07It's Eugene, this is Anne.
01:00:09Anne, what are you doing there?
01:00:11I came to bring you home.
01:00:13I was frightened about you.
01:00:14Where are you?
01:00:15And do as I say and get out of that box as quickly as you can.
01:00:19Go and hide somewhere, anywhere, but get out of that box now and once.
01:00:23Do you understand?
01:00:25Put the phone back, Samantha. We won't be needing it anymore.
01:00:29I'm not Samantha.
01:00:31Oh, you are to me, Samantha, but younger than I thought.
01:00:34Let me go!
01:00:35Now, that wasn't very nice of you, Samantha.
01:00:37Now, that's something I can't forgive.
01:00:39Ahhh, ahhhhh!
01:00:41Ahhh, ahhhhh!
01:00:44Ahhh, ahhhhh...
01:00:49Ahhh, ahhhhh!
01:01:09Oh
01:01:39Oh
01:02:09And
01:02:13Of course it was jolly dark, so he couldn't see anything, but we could hear wrong fair something into him
01:02:18But how on earth did you get out to Harper's Lane? There wasn't a bus
01:02:22Boss, I didn't catch a bus. I thumbed a lift. Thumbed a lift at that time of night from I don't know
01:02:30some man
01:02:39Oh
