Good evening.

You know, this came
as somewhat
of a surprise to me.

I was under the impression
that all pool tables
were kidney-shaped.

I guess that's only true
in Hollywood.

Our story tonight will be in
a somewhat different vein.

It is a tale of mystery
and intrigue on
a transcontinental express.

It is called....

The title seems to have
slipped my mind. It's....

You've dropped your cue.

The title of tonight's play
is Safe Conduct.

Thank you very much.

[whistle blowing]

[train bell rings]

[knocking at door]

Entrez. Come in.

Excuse me, tickets, please.
Yes.

Tickets, passport...

letter of safe conduct
from President Stoska.

Well, aren't you going
to read it?

It tells all about me,
and why I'm in your country.

I know perfectly well
why you're here,
Miss Prescott.

You're to write articles
about our country
for the American newspapers...

with the approval
of President Stoska himself.

I have a copy
of the letter here.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Dining car is open.

(officer)
Have you enjoyed
your visit here?

Yes, I had a marvelous time.
I was shown every courtesy.

I'm sorry
you're leaving us so soon.

You'll get
into Furtburg at midnight.
Midnight?

And you'll proceed
into Western Germany.

The train will be checked
very thoroughly
at the border...

but I think we can arrange
that you be disturbed
as little as possible.

How wonderful.

Do you carry
any military maps,
photos of restricted areas...

official documents?
No.

This will advise
the customs officials
at the border...

that your luggage
has been inspected...

and you won't have
to trouble to open it.

Thank you very much,
it's very kind of you.
Not at all, ma'am.

Jan Gubak.
I didn't know
you were on the train.

I'm traveling
incognito, Comrade.

I see.
Officer?

What is his name?
Is he one of your movie stars?

No, ma'am. He's one of
our great national heroes.

He certainly is popular.
Back at the station there...

there was a crowd of people
around him. Children--

You see, he is the captain
of our national soccer team.

It was he who won us
the world championship
last year in Switzerland.

I see.

He's really considered
the greatest soccer player
alive today...

even according to
your capitalistic sports
commentators.

Please excuse me,
I'd like to ask an autograph
for my son.

Yes.

Good night, Miss Prescott.
See you at the border.

Good night.

[train bell rings]

[train whistle blowing]

[knocking at door]

Come in.

Miss Prescott, may I come in?
Yes, come in.

Do you want
to leave the door open?

Yes, it might be a good idea.

I always smoke too much
when I'm working anyway.
Sit down.

You are an American reporter
writing about our country.

Yes, I'm right
in the middle of it now.

I saw your picture
in the newspapers...

with President Stoska,
at the ballet theater,
visiting our War Memorial.

You have many clothes.

Just about average, I'd say.

Do you have many stockings,
too, and much lingerie?

Hmm?

I beg your pardon?

I would like to buy
a pair of stockings.

Or perhaps a slip
or something...

if you would be kind enough
to sell it to me.

You know,
I hardly think they'd fit you.

It is not for me.
You see, I am
on my way to Munich...

where my sister
is in hospital.

I wanted to buy her something
before getting on the train...

but all the stores
were closed. I forgot it
was a national holiday.

So now I have 300 Kronen
in my pocket...

and no gift
for my sister Zinka.

Can't you buy her something
in Munich?

But I will have no money
in Munich.

You see, we are only allowed
to take 100 Kronen
out of the country.

And if I have more...

then I must leave it
with the customs office
until my return.

Yes, I forgot your
strict border regulations.

Yes, rules and regulations...

permits and questionnaires.

That's all governments
are for, to make our life
more difficult every day.

I like your honesty...

but don't you think
it's dangerous to criticize
your government?

I know. Everybody keeps
telling me
to keep my mouth shut.

But I am not afraid.

Not as long as
I am the captain
of the national soccer team.

Now, about
our business transaction....

Oh!

Oh, yes.
Let's see what's
on sale today, shall we?

Secondhand slips, scarfs....

Perfect. Brand new pair
of stockings, extra sheer.

It's wonderful.

How much?

Well, it will cost you...

one picture of yourself
in your soccer uniform...

with the inscription:

"To Mary Prescott.
Thanks for the stockings."

What is your name?
Gubak. Jan Gubak.

I'll send you the picture.

That still leaves me
with 200 Kronen to spend.

I know.
You are my guest
for dinner tonight.

Okay?

Okay.

Now?
Now.

(Jan)
And there I was, with one
minute to play in the game...

and a 3-3 score.

I found an opening between
the Argentine center
and the inside left.

Seeing two Argentine halfbacks
moving up...

I quickly passed the ball
to my outside right--

Then Dugovitch,
he carried the ball
to the 11-meter line.

But he was too far out.
So he passed
the ball back to Jan.

He knew the world championship
depended on his next move.

He did not take any chances.

He maneuvered the ball
with his head into the goal...

landing in the net
with the ball himself.

Now that the game is over,
may I salt my chops?

Sorry. Of course.
Thank you, madame.

Allow me to introduce myself.
Professor Mihajl Klopka.

How do you do?
My name is Mary--
I know your name, madame.

After your visit to
our President, you are
as famous as Comrade Gubak.

You would both do me
a great honor...

if you would permit me
to buy you
an after-dinner liqueur.

Thank you,
we've had our liqueur.

With your permission, Comrade,
may I have a few words...

with our illustrious visitor
from America?

I specialize
in medical research.

I'm on my way to Munich
to attend a convention...

where we will hear a report
on your new polio vaccine.

Yes.
Your dinner is getting cold.

Thank you, Comrade,
but I've had enough.

Of course, we found a vaccine
against polio years ago.

Did you?

Why do you look so surprised?

Don't you believe
we have such a serum?

Of course I believe you...

but if you've had
this serum all this time...

how is that you haven't shared
it with the rest of the world?

Think of the lives
you could have saved.

I fully agree
with you, madame...

but for a long time
that was not our policy.

I certainly think it is
good to know
that our two countries...

are beginning to understand
each other better.

I think it is time
that we opened up
our frontiers...

our minds, and our hearts.

Shall we go, Miss Prescott?
Yes.

It was very nice
to meet you, Professor.
The honor is all mine.

[people chattering]

Let us not waste any time.

What did you say?
How long
will you stay in Munich?

Just one night.
I leave the day
after tomorrow for London.

How about dinner
tomorrow night?

All right, if you let me
take you.

I will. I will be
very poor in Munich.

8:00 at the
Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten.

[train whistle blowing]

[bell ringing]

This is the name
of the hospital
where Zinka is.

Zinka Gubak.

If they should take me
off the train at the border...

you call her
and tell her what happened.

Why should they take you
off the train?

Because of this.

It belongs to my mother.

From the old days,
when we were rich.

It's a beautiful watch.
Yes.

We are not allowed
to take valuables
out of the country.

But Zinka needs money
for operation.

They probably
won't search me too closely.

But if they undress me,
I'll be arrested.

Undress you?
They wouldn't do that.

It is done quite frequently.

It's horrible.

Why do you hide it
in your shoe?

I have thought of everything.

Shoe is the safest.

(conductor)
Furtburg!

Have passport,
identification papers ready.

Let me have that watch.
No, I cannot.

Give it to me.

Look, I'm not running
any risks.

I have a safe conduct letter
from your President.
You see those stickers?

They mean that
my luggage will not be opened.

But there is no guarantee
of that.

If the customs officer
tells you to open it,
you have to open it...

sticker or no sticker.

All right, then I'll wear it.

And with my other jewelry,
they'll never notice it.

Unless you don't trust me.

I had forgotten
how kind people can be.

I'll see you in West Germany.

[door closing]

[train bell ringing]

Furtburg!

Have passport,
identification papers ready!

Furtburg!

Come in.

For inspection, Miss Prescott.

This is
Customs Officer Trevitch.
How do you do?

Madame Prescott, I regret
the necessity
of inconveniencing you.

It's quite all right.

May I have
your passport, please?
Thank you.

You entered with $750
in traveler's checks.

Yes.

How much are you taking out?
$400.

I was only able to spend $350
in your country...

because my host
was so generous.

I will not ask you
to open your luggage, madame.

You are not taking out gold,
silver, platinum...

precious
or semi-precious stones...

other than the jewelry
you brought with you?

No, I can't afford to buy
expensive jewelry.

She's lying to you.

The diamond watch on her wrist
is not hers.

She is trying to smuggle it
out of the country.

What?
I won her confidence...

and she even bragged to me
that she was smuggling
the watch out.

But you are one
who gave it to me.

That's ridiculous.

If I gave it to you,
would I report you?

She showed it to me.

It has the name
of our famous jeweler,
Stanoff, on the back.

Miss Prescott, the watch,
please.

Yes, of course.

Evidently,
I'm the victim
of some kind of a trick.

You come
with us, Miss Prescott.

You, too, Citizen Gubak.

I can't release you
until we get word
from our headquarters.

This is outrageous!

I tell you,
this man gave me the watch.

He told me his sister
was ill in Munich...

and he needed the watch
to pay for an operation.

(Jan)
Such stupid lies.

My sister is not ill.

She's a secretary
at our Munich Consulate.
We know that, Jan.

Have you anything else
to say?
Yes, I have.

I want to get in touch
immediately with
the American ambassador.

All in good time.
We haven't quite finished
with you yet.

You bet you haven't.

I also demand
that you contact
President Stoska.

We shall see.

Take them
to the detention room.

This is evidently
an elaborate,
carefully worked-out plan...

to discredit
an American citizen.

Be careful, Miss Prescott.

It doesn't help you to suggest
that we stoop to such a trick.

You attempted to smuggle
a valuable jewel
out of the country.

It's a very
serious offence. Take her out!

You, too, Jan.

[train whistle blowing]

[train whistle blowing]

I was going to the convention,
but they say
that I'm trying to escape.

That I bought my exit permit.

I didn't.

I only gave the official
a small fee
because he was courteous.

I'm a loyal citizen.

But they are going to put me
into prison.

Klopka, come along.

Have you completed
your investigation?
Yes, Captain Kriza.

Nothing in her luggage,
nothing in the films.

I see.

This American woman
puzzles me.

Either she doesn't understand
the danger she is in...

or she is depending upon
the favor of the President.

May I make
a suggestion, Captain?

I believe the President
should be informed
before we do anything further.

Yes, I think it would be best.

Put in an urgent call
to His Excellency.
Yes, sir.

Hello, operator?

Operator? Captain Kriza,
Central Secret Police...

wishes to speak
to His Excellency
the President.

Wait a minute! The watch.

The stones
are plain imitations.
What?

They are not diamonds.
Cancel the call.

Hello? Never mind this call.

There is no doubt,
they are just
superior rhinestones.

Why should
she smuggle rhinestones?

I think I see.

This American woman
is trying to trick us.

Can't you understand?
She wanted us to arrest her.

Then, through her ambassador,
she would prove
this watch worthless.

She would bring ridicule on
both our country
and our President.

I think we are fortunate
that we found out in time.

If our President finds out
that we took her
off the train...

and made all that fuss
over nothing,
we may be in hot water.

I was up for promotion
next month.

I think
we can outwit Miss Prescott.

You will complement her
on her cleverness...

laugh loudly...

and then put her back
on the train.

You know, Miss Prescott...

I've heard a great deal
about the
American sense of humor...

but to attempt to smuggle
a worthless watch
across the border...

is most unusual.

It's hilarious.

[all laughing]

Well, you know,
we're just little devils
at heart.

I'm afraid we have
to leave you now,
Miss Prescott.

We do hope
that you will come back soon.

I can hardly wait.

Oh, yes.

Your watch, please.

You mean
I get my watch back, too?
Oh, yes.

We want to you to leave us
with the pleasantest
of memories.

Of that you can be sure.

[sighing]

[train horn blowing]

[knocking at door]

Who is it?
[Jan whispering]
It's me, Jan.

Let me in.

By all means, come in.

Well, Comrade?

Now, sit down and listen,
and try not to interrupt me.

All right. Let's hear it.

First of all,
I want to thank you...

for what you have done
for our
anti-communist underground.

Underground?
Yes.

I was instructed
to take this train
and win your confidence.

Now, we knew
that they would find out
that the watch had no value...

and they would have
to release you.

But why?
What's the reason
for all this?

This.

In this package are microfilms
of the diary
of Bishop Dresev's...

written in his own hand
during his last year
in prison.

Bishop Dresev was the man
who just died
a few months ago...

just before his trial.
He died, conveniently...

because he refused to sign
the confession
they had prepared for him.

It is all here.

And we want the whole world
to know the truth...

of his persecution,
torture and death.

This is fantastic.

Now, the connection.

By smuggling the watch...

and giving me the opportunity
of denouncing you...

attention was directed away
from me entirely.

I was not searched
and my luggage
was not even opened.

I know,
but why didn't you tell me?

Because if you knew, you may
not have given
a convincing performance...

before the border officials.

Then why didn't you give me
the microfilm?

I could have hidden it in
my bag, because my luggage
wasn't going to be opened.

I told you, there was
no guarantee that you were
not going to be inspected...

and thoroughly searched.

And if they had found
this package
in your possession...

you would have been guilty,
and nobody
could have saved you.

I wouldn't allow myself
to put your life in danger...

even if you had wanted to.

But your life was in danger.

Here.

This is your story.

See to it that it is published
all over the free world.

Thank you, Jan.

I appreciate it very much,
and I'll do all I can.

But won't this
get you into trouble?

They will never find out
that I had anything
to do with it.

However, to make sure...

we must never see
each other again,
not even in Munich.

You see,
there are too many
secret agents around...

and if they saw us together
after what happened
at the border...

they might become suspicious.
I understand.

And I'll never forget you.

Neither will I forget you.

Good night.

Goodbye. Good luck.

Maybe someday
we'll meet again.

Without fear.
I'm working on it.

How you say in America?
"One for the road"?

Now, I'm sorry
you didn't watch.

You'll never believe me.

A three cushion shot.

It caromed off the ceiling,
floor and wall...

and into the side pocket.

Next week at this time
we shall all return...

our mummers to offer you
their usual 26 minutes
of drama.

And, of course, I shall be
back to lay my customary
one-minute egg.

Good night.
