Four. Two. One.

25 minutes.

He's back on two. I wonder why.

Emergency. Two is licking.

Three unsatisfactory.

Moving to emergency.

Hurry. I can't breathe.

Get on with it. I can't have this run interrupted.

Still on holiday?

I was.

I suppose it's over now.

This man is Stephanopoulos. Andreas Stephanopoulos. A beatcomer. A smuggler.

seller of harmless, technically interesting, postcards. He lived around

you know. Also an agent.

Part -time.

Incompetent.

Mercenary. Fans of the latest battleship for a fiver.

Too bad.

He was a shallow diver. One of the best, they tell me.

Aqualung. When he worked at all, it was teaching or salvage.

Yet he died of nitrogen embolism. The burns.

Why? Trying for the record, going too deep.

According to the surgeon, the degree of damage shows that he went to something

over a hundred fathoms.

A hundred fathoms?

Apart from being mad, he must have been a superman to get down that far. Who

found the body? A friend of his, another diver. A man called Jackson.

Another part -time agent?

Yes. There were four of them. All friends, very close. All the same sort

character.

According to Jackson, this one was dropped overboard from a yacht.

Huge thing. Belongs to a man called Mason.

Archipelago, Mason? Yes.

We've known that he's been working on something unusual on board his ship for,

oh, a couple of years now.

You're going to find out what.

Do you think he found out who?

That would explain his getting into the water, all right. But it doesn't explain

how he got to the bends.

You have to come up alive for the bends, you follow me?

You want me aboard the yacht?

Right. Try to find his friends.

They call themselves the Frogs.

Thank you, Countess. It was a pleasure to see you once more.

Happy birthday, Mason, you rascal.

Bracken, my dear Bracken. Thank you so much.

And this is? Natilla.

We met in Slovenia. Oh, congratulate you, Bracken, my dear.

You know, it is very wicked of me to pretend it's your birthday. I know it

isn't. Oh, Anna, don't give me away. I'm enjoying myself. How do you like her?

She's lovely.

Anna, I told you about Miss Smith.

How I flew out to meet our voted body and sing for us. Oh, you make me sound

like a craft of oranges.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm afraid that sometimes money makes one forget one's manners.

Isn't that so, Anna? Not often. To do you credit, Mason, not often. Not nearly

as often as these two. Layabouts?

Oh, but cheerful layabouts.

Take a good look around, Miss Smith.

Since you're working your passage, you're nearly the only one.

My friends, all of them. Shall I go? If you're going to talk in the last of your

riches again, I shall have to leave you. Can you excuse me? Of course.

Well, how do you like my ship?

It's not bad, is it? I suppose it's not bad.

You know, my father had boats. I was born on one, as a matter of fact. Oh?

Barges. It was great fun.

I too have barges. Oh?

In England?

No, on the canals of Europe, France, Belgium, Germany. How many have you got?

Oh, I don't know, about 300.

Would you like one?

What? A barge.

To remind you of your childhood.

You shall have one for... singing so well.

You're joking, of course.

Of course.

I'm afraid I have to leave you now.

Your cabin is comfortable?

Oh, marvelous, thank you. Good. If you have any wish, anything at all, just

the steward. Excuse me.

Well.

Hello. You're English, I think. I'm Risto. I shot for a Risto. It's Greek. A

Greek name.

Hi. Hi.

Oh, hang on. I've got to go and sing, but I'll be right back.

No,

it's stopped now.

Of course, pressure's only ten feet.

I want a dive check.

When? Tonight?

Yes.

Where was it leaking?

Along the packing land, through the cable.

It's a swine, really.

Never get any real depth.

What happened about Stephanopoulos?

Nothing. Nothing that would concern you. Let's leave it at that.

Well, it wasn't my fault.

I see. Oh, no, you don't.

You think I'm the traditional cold -blooded scientist that a human life

more to me than a guinea pig's. Well, you're wrong.

I shall be making the next dive myself.

No, you won't. I won't permit it. Well, there you are. You see, it's you who are

cold -blooded.

You've invested money in this experiment. You won't let me invest my

case you lose. I don't want to quarrel.

Idealists and moneymakers have always quarreled, isn't that so?

A shotgun wedding.

So you killed him for the best intentions?

And I disposed of him. With the best intentions.

Nobody's allowed in this part of the ship. I thought I made that clear to

Nobody? Oh, but surely that doesn't apply to me.

I can go where I like.

I am here for keeps. You are here until I can persuade you to go back where you

came from.

Down. At least until you're tired of the whole business and go away.

Meanwhile, I admit you're on my back. I don't allow drinking in here.

We should get rid of a Mason. You know I don't like being disturbed.

Ah, the scientist.

You do not understand politics.

Oh, yes, I do.

Politics are unreliable and imprecise.

Hello, boy. I love you. You know that?

You live in a dangerous world, though. You should stick to science. Then how

many millions would I have made, huh?

You're not diving tonight.

Only test it.

It's all right.

Good boy.

You afraid somebody will stick a knife in your back someday?

If I were to go around looking for all the people who wanted to stick a knife

my back, I wouldn't sleep at nights.

How do you think I made all my money? By playing both sides against the middle.

That way, I've only been stabbed once.

By? East or west?

I don't know. It's a long time ago.

It was a woman.

unreliable and imprecise.

Aristos is a Greek name and my father is Swedish.

Aristos Holmquist, that's me.

And I've got two grandmothers. One is Swedish and the other one is English.

No, she's Irish, but that's the same thing anyway.

No, it's not, you know.

No? No, Irish isn't the same as English.

You try it on an Irishman's seat.

Anyway, what about your grandfathers?

I don't know.

How do you get on board?

Oh, I've got an agent. I'm working.

Oh, the singing, yeah.

Oh, the singing. Yes, and I've got to sing again in half an hour, so you hang

to your eardrums, eh? Well, I must be off now.

Oh, where are you going?

To practice my scales, but I'll be back.

Good.

You're not having much luck, are you, Ristow? With the English patience and

persistence. Persistence, Ristow? Is this what you have? For the girls, yes.

And for the job?

Nothing.

I promise not to look.

That's right. You walked out. Oh, no, no, no.

Hold on a minute.

Now, where am I supposed to go? Don't make me say anything I'd be sorry about.

What are you doing here?

A bit complicated.

It's not, you know. Get out. Haven't you got a room of your own?

Cabin? No, I haven't. I was going to ask your hospitality.

What? Where do you think you're going to stay? Under the bed?

Bank. Bed.

I don't care if we are on a boat.

Ship.

No, a boat is something you row on a serpentine. You should know that, your

seafaring antecedents. Oh!

Wait a minute.

That was a narrow escape.

This better be good.

Now, come along. You sit down. I'll tell you all about it. I just had to get

aboard this ship when I heard that Mason was bringing you out to entertain the

guests. I thought I'd just, how do you call it, stir away. You feather, you

fixed it for a start. I'll catch it. I'll swear to you.

I'm the one who's always getting lumbered, mate.

I could turn you in. I could say I found you here in my cabin going through my

wardrobe. I could see if I... No, no, no, no, no. No, hang on a minute.

This sounds as though it might be very interesting.

Look, why did you have to get on board?

You see, I just had to get to America.

We are going the wrong way.

Oh, so we are at the Mediterranean.

How do you know it's pitch dark? It's the stars. Don't you consult your

horoscope? Now, what's the time?

12 past 11.

Good grief, I'm supposed to be doing a...

Now get out of here, please.

I'll probably only be here when you're not.

Oh, thank you. I won't get in your way.

I'm looking for a fellow on board here. He's called Jackson.

Have you heard of him?

He's supposed to be around.

No?

Oh, if I do come back in the time, I'll just knock, like this.

Oh, give me another. It'll be a bossing over.

Now, no messing about.

One missing.

Remember, Esther.

I remember. I thought perhaps you had forgot.

What she is saying is you've been chasing the girls again instead of

your mind on the job. And so, because we seek revenge, that means to say we have

to eat, sleep, drink revenge. No, but remember all the same.

I remember feeling that there is a time for everything.

And she's a very pleasant girl to talk to. She's not stuck up, you know.

Old boy, old boy, not like that at all.

All right, fine.

Andreas.

Where did you get it? It's beside my plate on the table.

One moment there was nothing there. I looked away for a second. When I looked

back again, it was there.

Also this.

Starboard promenade, 12 .30.

Why don't we do it?

Well, I shall go there.

Not you.

Just me.

I told them about Andrew's death. I just can't. Well, somebody had to find out

how he died. And I think perhaps they're sending someone to tell me.

A Mr.

Steed, I think.

Anyway, we shall see. Tell him nothing, unless he pays you. We're not here to

keep British intelligence happy. No, we are not.

Can I keep this?

Sure.

Sure, Philemon. You keep it.

This Englishman, this Mr. Steed, huh? We don't want him interfering. We have to

dive tonight.

One of us.

Me, I think.

I know what to look for.

What? It must be about halfway along the ship.

I think he has an underwater laboratory or a workshop or something where Andre

was killed.

That's right.

You know, you're a very clever boy.

Just one thing.

I'm the better diver. Oh, sure.

Here.

In one hour, I shall be over the

side. How is it a man with an English mother and a Portuguese father always

A gambler's luck. He's always had it.

You should have learned by now.

That's... That's right.

Could you send me this?

Yeah.

What do you want?

You told a friend of mine about Andreas Stephanopoulos.

Are you English?

Yes. What have I got in my pocket?

Oh, I see. A small gold frog.

How did Andreas die?

The bams. He went too deep.

Over a hundred bams.

That's impossible.

He was the best of us. He went too deep. That's how he died.

I'm not going to tell you a lot of lies.

Thank you.

I must leave you now.

Oh, just one minute.

Who is us?

I told your people Andre was dead.

Now have you told me how he died?

So we are level.

There.

It's ready for the test now.

Now just try the hat.

That's all right.

Open.

All stopped, sir.

Weather? Calm, sir.

Depth, uh, 30 fathoms. Is that enough?

Oh, it's quite enough. 30 fathoms bridge.

Drop anchors, bound cage. We're doing a dive.

How long, sir? How long do you need?

Four hours. Four hours, all right. All right, sir.

Just a check, mate.

You're not going down yourself. Remember, it's my money.

Is this him? Yes.

Yes, that's him. You!

What are you doing here?

Ah, just taking a little exercise.

Well, go somewhere else for it. She's right. You're in our way.

What do you want me to do? Jump overboard?

Take him down to his cabin, Elena.

I'm afraid I haven't got one. No?

Well, where would you like to be taken? You cannot stay here.

And if you get in our way very much longer, we shall probably kill you.

Take him down below, Elena.

Everything you need is there.

Fine.

Which way are we going?

In there.

Why don't you put that away? We look less conspicuous. I won't hit you over

head with an ashtray or anything.

Go into the bar, order a drink.

Stay there for half an hour.

I shall be close.

With this. If you're a very good girl and put that away, I'll buy you one too.

The lips that touch kippers shall never touch mine, though you cry like a child

in despair.

Though you swear to be true till your beaver turns blue and the birds build a

nest in your hair.

Though you own a rose ford and your life's well insured, still it breaks my

heart to decline.

Give me onions or I'm out, then come, buddy, come.

Oh, I'm sorry. It's just that I have to make an announcement.

My friends, please forgive me. I shall only be a moment, but there is something

I have to tell you.

Something very unpleasant.

There's been an accident last night aboard my ship.

A fatal accident.

A young man was drowned while skin diving with an aqualung, you understand.

He dived at night by himself.

He had told no one that he was doing so. I'm... I'm desolate that this should

have happened to a guest of mine.

And I'm only telling you this to warn you, nobody would want this to happen

again.

Thank you, that is all.

Please, come in.

I'm most sorry, I didn't know.

Who was it?

A young man called Jackson.

I didn't know him very well.

You must try not to upset yourself.

Everyone will have forgotten by tomorrow.

Excuse me.

You heard him.

Two. Two.

First Andres.

Now Jacko.

Drowned diving.

You do not know.

No. You do not know.

You think maybe Andres forgot how to swim, huh?

We have lived together.

Worked together.

Since we were children in Iboia.

And you think they drowned. We were the best swimmers on the island. Oh, he

killed them.

Both of them.

Why else the lies?

You still do not know. Who then?

Your Englishman?

I think not.

But this too we will find out. Oh, how?

You will ask him.

Perhaps we can also ask him why it is that the millionaire should want to kill

two people. He does not even know. Risto, you have no head, no head, no

Risto, I'm sorry, I don't mean it.

But it's clear, isn't it?

There is something going on in this ship he does not want anyone to know about.

Perhaps André found out too.

Perhaps it is important enough to kill for. So you will use this without

knowing? Without being sure?

All right.

We'll ask the Englishman first.

But I don't think he knows anything.

Have you been missing your beauty sleep, Pelé?

You don't look too good, you know.

Thank you.

This is the only one you could find, eh? Yes, I'm afraid so.

I'd wash some socks up for you, only what would they think when they came to

make the bed and found them hanging up to dry?

Well, it wouldn't do, would it? I mean... You know, you still haven't told

why you're on board.

Did Mason say anything to you about Jackson drowning?

No. No, he seemed rather upset about it, though.

Well, I think he was.

Has he shown you around?

Yes, yes, he has.

I say, it's a marvellous boat.

Sure.

Isn't it?

Have you seen all of it?

Yes. Everything except the laboratory.

Oh.

He never lets anybody in there, you see. He keeps fish and they're very

delicate.

He keeps fish and they're delicate?

Mm. That's what he said.

Didn't you know about it, then? Well, I think we're going to find out. I'll be

out all night.

Too right you will.

We should get rid of this girl, Mason.

She always seems to be here.

You heard him?

I'm only making sure you aren't disturbed.

So you did kill him then, hmm? We did.

Do you know what he was doing?

He was getting ready to watch you. How?

Through there.

He was going to die.

You made a little speech about it, didn't you?

There was no need to kill him.

We have a sickbay here. He could have been confined there until put ashore.

And what about his friends?

Friends? Oh, really.

For a rich man, you seem to have forgotten how to observe people.

You really didn't know he had friends.

Well, I've got news for you, Pelago. I think they're trying to kill you.

Why? Because of your unfortunate accident with this.

Remember your experiment which went wrong? It did not go wrong. So you say.

Well, perhaps not.

But a man did die, didn't he? And you panicked and dropped him overboard.

that so?

And now his friends are trying to kill you. It's a vendetta.

I couldn't afford interference here.

Good. Nor can we.

So you see, we really are friends when you really look at it. You want to

your work because you're a scientist.

You want to finish it because of money. And I want you to finish it because of

politics. So none of us wants anybody to interfere.

Which reminds me, by the way, you have an uninvited guest on board.

I have many uninvited guests. Money's like flypaper.

Perhaps it's the same with politics.

This is an Englishman. His name is Steve.

Always when I meet you, you have that little gun. Do you sleep with it under

your pillow? She was born with it in her hand.

What do you know about the death of Jackson? Why should I know anything?

I would advise you to answer that very carefully, mister. What's your name?

Steve. Steve, yes. Or she will shoot you and drug dunk to you. Oh, delightful.

But last night you escorted me downstairs.

Jackson was alive. How should I know anything about it? Now, what concerns

It was a friend.

You see this?

You took one like it from the body of Andreas Stepanopoulos.

We grew up together. We swim together.

We have no country. We have only each other. Your government knows us as

as smugglers. Isn't that so?

Now there are only two of us. It's what you call a vendetta. So, now you know

about us, Mr. Steed. We are the frogs.

Now, what about you?

I'm just trying to find out a little of what goes on.

Let's see how good you are.

Stand up.

Turn around.

All right.

Now, I don't give a damn about your vendetta.

If you can't do any better than that, you'll probably trip over each other and

fall overboard. Now, I can't stop you playing ducks and drakes and red Indians

up and down the companionways, but if you get in my way, I'll tan your hides.

Both of you.

Oh,

maybe we'd better be good, eh?

Why do you always laugh at everything that happens?

Sometimes I think you're a fool.

Oh?

Perhaps it's you should laugh more than that.

I like it.

This is sound C.

King.

This is sound D.

King. King.

I've been playing games. Yeah, some naughty schoolchildren.

Hey, where did you get those?

A very enthusiastic young gentleman and his lady friend. They make a charming

couple. Charming couple? Have they got any more?

I think they constitute what you'd call a walking arsenal.

Yeah, well, I mean, look, you can't stay here, mate. It's late. I'm a little

tired of playing boxing cops myself.

I think it's about over. Let them in, whoever they are.

Mr. Mason!

This is my agent.

Oh, I see. He's also a very, very old friend of mine. But not of mine.

My name is John Steed, and I'm a stowaway, and I'm very sorry.

I only heard about you a few minutes ago.

Stowaway, eh?

I hope you haven't been too uncomfortable, Mr. Steed. It's the most

ship I've ever stowed away in.

Also the most interesting.

What interests you most?

Well, I'm fascinated in delicate fish.

I'm even more fascinated in deep -sea diving.

I see.

Well, perhaps you care to come to my stateroom, Mr. Steve? There are some

I'd like you to meet. Miss Smith, too.

Shall we stay in ten minutes?

It's rather late, but I think we can manage some coffee. Ah, coffee.

I've been missing that.

The life of a stowaway is a hard one. No, turn around. Go on, turn around.

got to get some clothes on. I'm not missing this. Turn around.

Introduce you to each other, Anna.

This is Mr. Steed. Miss Smith, you know already.

They are British.

This is Anna Lee.

Delighted. Now, Miss Lee, I know.

Oh? Not personally, of course, but I know your face. Must be photographed.

I don't think so. I have not often been photographed. I can't think why. Maybe

there are some that you don't know about.

This is Dr. Quick Norton, head of my research.

How do you do?

Research into a field into which you're all particularly interested.

One way or another.

So I thought you all liked to get together.

So that's what they're doing. What?

Look, you can read. There's depth in feet, pressure. There's a diving

I don't understand it.

Underwater? Of course.

What are you doing?

It's a submarine or a diving bell.

Look, there's a seat like in an anchor.

This door.

Stay here.

You don't know what you're doing. We've seen enough.

I've not seen enough.

I've listened to you patiently for a long time, Lena.

All you're concerned with is remains for Andrea and Jacko. But that is all that

concerns us. I like a woman.

Aren't you even interested to know what it was they died for? How they died?

Aren't you even curious?

I am.

If this was enough to get them killed, then I say it concerns us.

Even as a good girl.

Besides, it may be worth a lot of money. To Mr. Steed, for instance.

And now what?

Now we're all friends?

Well, I thought we might all go below and have a look at my laboratory.

No, that's a good idea.

Ali is already familiar with my work.

I think she feels she has a certain proprietary interest in it, am I right?

Helico, you're a fool.

So you keep on telling me. You know, I'm still alive and healthy.

In any case, if I don't show my work to Mr. Steed, I'm sure he'll find his own

way into my laboratory sooner or later.

So I propose to satisfy his curiosity now.

Lena! What?

This is a thought.

It's a submarine.

It fits beneath the hull of the ship.

There must be a wind coming. The controls are over there. Go and look.

Risto, let's get out of here. Not yet.

Risto! Go and look.

My little mousetrap.

What does he mean, his little mousetrap?

Just another one of his gadgets.

Sometimes I wonder how his mind works. What are the security arrangements in

your laboratory?

Very few. Why?

Perhaps our scientist has more sense than you, after all. I think she's

Someone's availed themselves of the opportunity of your invitation.

You stay there, young lady.

The winch is moving. Get away from there. It's your shop. Yes, I know. I

arranged that way.

I didn't count on somebody else playing around with this at the same time.

There's somebody in the state, isn't there? Bring him up, quickly. I am.

Put that away, young lady. No time for that. What's happening? There's somebody

in the state and on the run here, mister.

You're a little short of oxygen. Now, what happened?

I don't know. At the entrance, the hatch closed.

I didn't touch anything.

That was a trap.

Pitt Norton fixed it that way. She was alone in the room? Yes. No one else? No.

Then we'll assume it was an accident.

What did you find out?

You're buying this information?

All right, we'll buy it. But don't forget, I got you out of there.

It's a submarine.

No, not a submarine. That's the wrong word.

Bath escape?

Greek, your language. That's right.

Only... Only what?

These things are meant to go deep.

Yeah, very deep.

Well, then the hull is too thin. It wouldn't stand the pressure. Suppose it

pressurized inside.

Then it still could not go deep because the diver then couldn't stand the

pressure inside. Do you understand me? I know what you mean. It's what happens

to men working underwater building bridges. They call it caisson disease.

right. Don't leave them alone, huh? No, no, no. Lay, lay, lay. I'm trying to

think.

Why do you say I'm not getting enough oxygen? There's a section of the control

board. It supplies a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, helium.

Other gases as well to the bath escape.

You had the wrong mixture.

Different mixtures. I'm trying to remember. Something I remember about a

using different mixtures of gas to prevent compression sickness.

Do you think that might be it? Possibly. You look after him.

Keep out of my way. There's a lot.

Don't promise.

Hey, do you know, I think that they did not murder Andre.

Perhaps he was not as lucky as I.

May have been dead when they got him out of that thing and then they just dumped

him overboard.

What about Jekyll?

Oh, you're wrong, Risto.

They murdered Jacko, why not Andre?

Now it's our turn.

Wait and see what the Englishman finds out.

Don't knock. Sorry, this is terribly important. Can you help me? A notepaper?

Yes, over there on the seat.

Pencil.

Oh, fetch and carry, fetch and carry.

Thank you. Oh, by the way, what happened about that Greek boy? Is he all right?

He's perfectly all right, and I'm sure he'd appreciate a visit from you.

What, with that girl around with a gun? I should go. Don't worry, she's just

excitable. Now, look, take this, the purse, or whatever it is, and turn that

table.

What do?

The address is on top.

But I don't know anybody in Rottingdean. Well, I do. I've got an aunt there.

Well, why don't you send it yourself?

Because you look just the sort of person to have an aunt in Rottingdean.

Ah, there's something funny going on here, isn't there?

Malaga, three weeks, stop.

Hector, much worse, stop.

Hey, who's Hector?

The dog.

You're going bonkers.

Can't I trust anybody in this place?

Failure after failure, and all I need is one test run.

Oh, it's a madhouse. Only one run, is that all you need? I've been trying for

days to get in.

I can probably arrange it. You can?

I'm not working for you. No, you're working for yourself.

I've watched you work long enough to know that. Pelago provides all this, but

you work for yourself.

Ah, politics again. I'm talking common sense.

Look, all you want is to finish your experiments. Isn't that so? Well, this I

can arrange.

I don't think St. Mason can. Not anymore.

You know, I still don't see your interest in all this.

No, you don't, do you? You really don't.

All right, tell me what you're doing.

You know perfectly well.

I hope by supplying a series of different mixtures of oxygen and other

a diver under pressure...

to enable him to stay at much greater depths than so far possible for longer

a time, without his having to spend many hours in slow decompression afterwards.

And when you succeed, you'll go around giving lectures to scientists, I

Yes, I suppose so. And why do you suppose Pelligot's paying for all your

experiments? For the love of science?

Well, I'm not a fool, you know. He tends to use my diving equipment to recover,

I don't know, antiques, pearls, something, I don't know what, from the

A sort of hobby. Oh, he'll make money out of it. He's already doing so. Out of

us. Because when your little diving machine is ready, when it works, what

you made?

A submarine.

A midget submarine.

Oh, I see.

Politics again. But it's true. With fins and propellers, that would be a

submarine. Yes, I suppose so. One that would dive deeper, surface quicker than

any midget submarine so far.

I suppose you're right.

At present, they only go as deep as ordinary skin divers can, is that it?

Yes, I see the possibility.

Of course, all that has nothing to do with me.

Of course not.

We shall see.

How do I do it?

Talk to him, then.

Thank you.

I'd like to send a cable to England. Do you know how I can go about it? Why,

yes, ma 'am. You let me know what you want to say.

I'll have the signals office send it for you. Here you are.

Okay, I'll take it over now. Thank you.

Actor, much worse.

Stop. Ceasing.

Stop. Run out of pink pills. Bring her down here now.

Were you listening?

Yes.

You've had a cable. Not me, the girl, Miss Smith. She tried to send one to

British intelligence, I think.

Probably about us, what we're doing.

Probably? Oh, I see it's in code or something.

Well, surely you can, what's the technical word, break it, can't you? I

even recall it to try.

Very well. Bring it down here. All right, ma 'am. Down here?

Now, look, if this is more of your political business, I do wish you'd go

somewhere else. This is, in case you haven't noticed it, a scientific

laboratory. I'm tired of this. You're an intelligent man, so listen carefully.

Whether you like it or not, you've accepted money from Mason.

This is political money. And now you can make a political decision.

You can do one of two things.

Work with us, in which case I think you will find life rewarding.

Or you can refuse, in which case I will arrange for you to be shot.

If you don't believe me, that's your affair.

Well?

I accept.

Oh, I'll need somebody for the next test. I expect you can arrange that,

Yes, I think we can.

Oh, Miss Smith, excuse me. I've bought your cable. Could you come with me a

moment, please?

You're still looking for someone to shoot? Here, you leave it to the

Yes,

at least wait until he tells us what he has found out.

Wait! Wait!

I'm looking for Mrs. Smith, the gal who sings.

Have you seen her?

Yes, sir. She was in here about 15 minutes ago.

Wanted to send a cable. Did she?

I believe so, sir. She gave it to the first officer.

There seemed to be some difficulty.

Difficulty? He came back a few minutes later, sir. The young lady left with

She did, did she? Thank you.

Miss Smith. Hello, what's all this about then, eh? Ah, this cable you just tried

to send. It's in code.

Oh, what do you mean, code? It's about a dog.

A dog?

Your dog?

Yes. Hector.

That's your dog.

Uh -uh. No, ma 'am.

No dog.

Sorry, Miss Smith. It's all a bit difficult, you see.

Anyway, what's it got to do with you?

Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Steed?

I'm looking for Miss Smith.

I don't know where she is, should I? She was last seen talking to your first

officer, just after she'd tried to send a cable.

She doesn't know much about this, you know. I'm afraid the same could be said

me. I have not seen Miss Smith.

I should care to look into a few cupboards.

I wouldn't mind looking around your laboratory, if you have no objections.

I wouldn't advise you to. Why not?

Because the last time I tried to, I was invited to leave.

At the point of a gun.

Anna is there.

She's taken over the place. Why?

She also seems to have taken over Dr. Pitt Norton.

Isn't it time you stopped playing political pig in the middle? What are

going to do about it? What should I do about it?

Storm the barricades? If you don't, I might. Mr. Steve.

You must not assume that because I'm having a little difficulty with Annalise

that I'm automatically on your side. This is an attitude typically, if I may

so, of the British, who are rather a straightforward nation.

Naive, evil.

Now, I don't propose to get them out of the laboratory, and I don't propose to

let you do so. Aren't you risking your investment? Oh, the country.

I've already been paid a great deal by Miss Lee's principals, and I should

probably get more.

On the investment in this laboratory and in Dr. Pitt Norton, I should care

about, well, four percent.

It's not startling, but not a lot.

Have you considered they might fit you with a little pair of cement boots and

drop you overboard?

Why should they? Money is only money.

Dollars, rubles, pounds.

But murder, Mr. Steed, murder of someone, if I may say so, as well

known as myself.

Well, that is trouble.

But if I leave them alone, and you leave them alone, they will finish what they

came to do and go.

Believe me, I've lived a long time.

What are they doing?

Dr. Pitt Norton is, I believe, performing his final experiment.

They got Miss Smith with them?

I don't know.

You want to press the required button.

Is that you, my dear?

Oh, you know the drink I didn't buy you?

Yeah. I thought I'd rectify that now.

Mason's State Room.

Look, I still don't know what you're on about.

No, and yet you're here with Mr. Steed. No, I'm not. I came here to sing.

The first I saw of him, it was a stowaway. Look, what is all this?

I don't think you're doing this the right way, ma 'am.

Did you hear him? I think he would like to be a bit more violent.

Yeah, well, he'd better not, or I'll bend this right over his ear. Don't

things alone.

Why don't you just jump over the side?

You know, I think Miss Smith is exactly what she says she is. A singer.

Marvellous. Now, can I go, eh?

No, I don't think so.

I'll do the credit of assuming that you didn't kill Jackson.

What about the first man, Andrea Stephanopoulos?

He died in the Bathurst cave.

Then you dropped him overboard in a panic.

Not in a panic.

He died in zeal. I buried him in zeal. I didn't want interference.

You're getting it now, aren't you? All right, I believe it was an accident.

I'm not so sure.

I think it was an accident which they arranged.

And you still won't help me?

No. You will, you know.

You're going to make me how?

I've got a second front. She's arriving any minute. Look, I believe you didn't

kill either of them, but she doesn't. You think Mason's a murderer, don't you,

Helena? Yes. Yes, that is what I believe.

He murdered Andre.

He murdered Jackson and he tried to murder Ristow. All right, you think

She's liable, if I may say so, to go off half -cocked.

I did not kill your friend, either of them.

No.

You tell her.

Pick your sides and quick.

Very well, I accept.

Mason didn't kill Andreas or Jackson. I believe him. And why should I believe

you? Because I know where they are. They're down below in the laboratory.

You're sure of this?

Yes. Quite sure? I'm quite sure. Look, you've got to trust me. Come on, you've

got to. You can't go on shooting people forever.

No. Look, your place will be like the Alamo if we don't get there. Then this

way.

There.

We're ready to start now.

Oh, no, not me, no, thank you. The last person who came out of there didn't look

very well. This town we hope will be different. In any case, you haven't much

choice, have you?

No, well, if you put it like that, I don't suppose I have.

60 ,000. That's what I suggest.

Results, equipment, everything.

Damaged equipment?

I don't think my firm will agree.

I think they will. After all, it's the results they're interested in. Well,

we'll have to think that over. Of course, I don't think you'll be allowed

land in England to collect.

I think so. Oh, bad, bad. Still, we have the rest of the voyage to come to an

agreement. In the meantime, the party goes on and Miss Smith will sing for us.

Oh! What is it?

I want to book him a room. Cabin.

Cabin. Press the required button.
