1:04:02
Thank you.
1:04:04
There l go again.
1:04:06
l wish l could get
that damn tune out of my head.

1:04:08
l wonder where l heard it.
1:04:12
- You sound very sleepy.
- Sleepy? l'll say so.

1:04:15
Do you know when l
last slept in a bed?

1:04:17
Saturday night, whenever that was.
Then l only got a couple of hours.

1:04:20
- What made you wake so soon? Dreams?
- What do you mean ''dreams''?

1:04:24
l've always been told
murderers have terrible dreams.

1:04:27
But only at the first.
Got over that a long time ago.

1:04:30
When l first took to crime,
l was quite squeamish about it.

1:04:32
- l was a most sensitive child.
- You surprise me.

1:04:35
Used to wake screaming,
thinking the police were after me.

1:04:37
But one gets hardened.
1:04:40
- How did you start?
- Quite a small way, like most of us.

1:04:43
Pilfering pennies from other
children's lockers at school..

1:04:46
then a little pocket picking,
then a spot of car pinching..

1:04:48
then smash and grab
and so on to plain burglary.

1:04:51
Killed my first man
when l was 19.

1:04:56
ln years to come, you'll be able
to take your grandchildren..

1:04:58
to Madame Tussaud's
and point me out.

1:05:01
- Which section?
- lt's early to say. l'm still young.

1:05:04
But l'll be there, all right,
in one department or another.

1:05:07
You'll point me out and say,
''Chicks, if l were to tell you..

1:05:10
how matey l once was
with that gentleman, you'd be--''

1:05:13
- What's the matter?
- This handcuff is pinching my wrist.

1:05:16
Sorry.
1:05:18
Talking of Madame Tussaud's,
that's how it all began.

1:05:20
- What began?
- My career of crime.

1:05:23
All hereditary.
Great Uncle Penruddock.

1:05:25
- Who was he?
- My girl, where were you brought up?

1:05:28
Never heard of my Great Uncle
Penruddock, the Cornish Bluebeard?

1:05:32
-Got it all from him.
- l thought your family came from Canada.

1:05:35
No, that's where they went
after the Penruddock incident.

1:05:38
He murdered three wives
and got away with it.

1:05:40
His third mother-in-law got the goods
on him and tried to have him arrested.

1:05:43
Did she succeed?
No, he was too quick for her.

1:05:48
Took her for a walk to Land's End and
shoved her into the Atlantic Ocean.

1:05:53
He's in Madame Tussaud's.
1:05:55
There's no doubt
about his department.

1:05:57
You must go down
and see him sometime.

1:05:59
Can't mistake him.
Third on the left as you go in.
