(episode 2)
1. It is six o’clock on a very cold winter evening. People are in their living rooms and watch the news on television or listen to it on the radio. There is one very important piece of news this evening. It is this.
“In the west of England this evening, hundreds of policemen are looking for a man who escaped from Princeville Prison early this morning. The man’s name is Edward Coke. He is 30 years old, six feet tall, and has black hair and blue eyes. He is in a dark blue prison uniform. The police do not think he can stay free very long. It is only a few degrees above zero and it is snowing.”
2. The radio is on in an expensive pub in Soho, in the centre of London. Most of the people there are not very interested in the news program, but one man is. His name is Eric Masters. He is about 45 and is in very expensive clothes. He looks very afraid of something. There is another man standing next to him in the bar. Masters asks him a question.
“Did they say the man’s name was Coke?”
“Yes, that’s right. Coke…Edward Coke. Why? Do you know him?”
“Pardon?”
“Do you know him?”
“No ….. no. I don’t know him. I just wanted to know the man’s name, that’s all.”
3. In another part of London, a young detective is standing in the office of his chief at Scotland Yard. The young detective’s name is Richard Baxter.
“You knew Coke, didn’t you, Baxter?”
“Yes, sir. I arrested him four years ago.”
“Yes, I know that, Baxter. That’s why I give you this order, now. Find Coke again! You must find him immediately!”

The man who escaped
(episode 3)
1. At 6 o’clock Baxter is in the warm train compartment. Coke is in a field 100 miles away. The winter evening gets darker and colder. The wind cuts through Coke’s thin uniform like a knife. Coke is hungry and tired, and his arms and legs are so cold that he can hardly feel them. He wants to find food, warm clothing, and a warm place somewhere. “I have to make a move! I can’t just stay in this field and die of the cold”, he thinks.
2. Coke gets up and begins to walk. “Where am I? Which direction am I walking in? Am I going back towards the prison?” he asks himself. A few minutes later, the moon comes out and Coke can see better. He stops and looks around. Suddenly he sees a small light not far away. “What can it be? It can’t be a car. It doesn’t move. It must be a house.” he says to himself and begins to walk towards it. The light gets larger. It is a house! He can see the form of the roof in the darkness.
3. Ten minutes later he is outside the house. He stops and listens. “Strange”, he thinks. “I can’t hear anything, not even a radio or a television, but there must be someone in there. There’s a light on!” Just at that moment, a thought strikes him.
“This is probably the only house around for miles! The police know I’m probably around here somewhere and if they are anywhere, they’re in that house, waiting for me”.
Coke doesn’t move. The wind becomes colder. His feet and hands feel like ice in the snow. “I have to take the chance! I have to! This is the only place I can find warm clothes and food!” he thinks.

(episode 4)
1. Coke listens for several seconds but he can’t hear anything at all. And yet there is smoke coming from chimney and there is a light on in the front room! “Why is it so quiet? Are the police waiting for me in there?” he asks himself. He goes to the front door and pushes it. To his surprise it is open! He does in very quietly. In the front room, there is a fire burning in the fireplace. The room is clean, small and very warm. There is very little furniture in it – only a table and two old-fashioned chairs. There are also some photographs on the self above the fire. They are yellow and old. One of them is of a young man in a World War I uniform. There are also a few photos of the same man and also a woman.
2. Suddenly Coke feels there is someone else in the room. He turns around quickly and, at the same time, puts his hand in his pocket. There is a small knife there. He sees an old woman. She has a dish in her hands and there is a smell of meat and vegetables coming from it. She doesn’t look afraid. “I’m sorry” she says and puts the dish down on the table.
3. “I’m sorry”, she says again. “I don’t hear you. I’m deaf, you see. People often come to the door and knock, but I don’t hear them. I’m glad you are here.”
Coke stares at her for a second and then finally finds his voice: “I …. I’m sorry”. He looks down at his clothes. His prison uniform is so dirty that it is impossible to tell what kind of uniform it is. Then he suddenly has an idea.
“I’m a mechanic from a garage in town. I came to repair a lorry somewhere out here but the road was icy. I had an accident. I … I fell off my motorbike.”
He says this several times before she finally understands him. Then she gives him some hot water and soup and afterwards some food. The only thing he needs now is a change of clothes!
