AbstractHistoryArchive Description
In the latter part of this script, flashbacks to the first episode (and, more particularly, the death of Banner’s wife and baby) are interspersed with this current episode.
The script held in the Crawford Collection in the AFI Research Collection contains the following character notes (excluding regular characters):
'BETTY WALSH Thirty-ish, not intelligent, a confused girl, used by people like Walsh and Brown. Afraid of being alone, always aware of her childhood innocence and the sordidness that her life has become.
'JOHN BROWN Late twenties. A young thief, cowardly, always angry at others because of his own flawed character, of which he's well aware. Actor able to drive.
'LEN WALSH A savage. Cold, hard menacing. [sic] A threat of violence emanates from this man at all times. Forty-five years old, very strongly built, and far from stupid. Actor able to drive.
'EDDY FRITH A Boarding House Keeper. [sic] Forty-ish, sharp 'cheap' dresser. Not a bad bloke, fairly well built.
'GIRL & YOUNG MAN Late teens or early twenties.
'USED CAR SALESMAN A happy, honest middle-aged man.
'PEDESTRIAN Almost hit by police car.
'EXTRA P.C. Actor able to drive.'
