I have

to inform you that as a

result of a recent court of inquiry,
Commander -in -Chief has issued

instructions that you be held under
close arrest.

to appear before a court -martial to be
convened at the station.

The charge is that you did on several
unspecified dates during the last six

months pass on information of a top
-secret nature to a person or persons

unknown.

If you have a defense, Crane, I hope
it's a good one.

It is, sir.

I am not guilty.

All right. Carry on.

Oh, good morning.

I'm Commander Steed.

I believe you have a room for me. Oh,
yes, sir. It's all ready.

Oh, I think I'll have a small drink
first. I've been driving all morning.

would you like, sir?

I'll have a large gin, please.

Large gin.

Thanks.

Morning. Morning.

Oh, good morning.

Good morning.

Oh, Mrs. Gale. She's working at that
neighbor place down here. I suppose

be going there, too.

Yes, I am for a few days. May I offer
you a drink, Mrs. Gale?

Thank you, Commander.

I'll have a gin and tonic.

Why the fancy dress?

I'm a service psychiatrist, temporary
short -term permission, acting unpaid,

present attached to the Admiralty. I
think it rather suits me, don't you?

Admirably, but you don't keep your hat
on between decks.

Well, what's the setup?

They have a very fine laboratory.

They're quite satisfied with my work,
and in one week I've discovered

nothing. Nothing?

Are you quite sure I'm not wasting my
time here? I'd much rather be in Taurine

doing release work. I thought you were
interested in helping Sub -Lieutenant

Crane. You found out nothing, whatever.

Nobody's even mentioned his name.

You're quite certain he's still there.
He's there, all right. He's confined to

his cabin under close arrest.

They've developed an HMS Zebra.

A system which may be of absolutely
beneficial importance to our defense

The enemy knows that. They've developed
a system for jamming those

transmissions. And Crane is supposed to
have given them the information to do

this. But we think he was framed.

It's possible. Anyway, we're keeping him
locked up till the next test

transmission. If that's unsuccessful,
then we know that he's not responsible.

Yes, but for how long?

I mean, you can't keep him locked up
indefinitely.

I don't think it'll be for long.

I suppose he's safer in than out. Until
our equipment is safe from jamming, the

prototype can't be put into production.

The final test is during the NATO
exercises at the end of the month.

It's a bad road at weekend, too. There
was a traffic jam almost two miles long

last Saturday. Well, then, I think I'll
keep up it. Will you put that on the

bill, young lady?

Yes, sir.

I think I'd better drink up.

Oh.

I've got to report to the warden at two.

Do you think they'll pipe your voice?

On the stage.

Leave us, please.

Hello. Hello, sir.

Sit down, won't you?

How do you feel?

How do you think? How would you feel?

Just relax. Answer my question.

What do you want?

Just a friendly chat.

I'm not mad, you know.

Nobody said you were.

Then why are you here?

I told you I want to talk to you.

Don't you want to talk? No.

All right, then I'll do the talking.

You do that, doctor.

The Navy have developed the finest unit
for tracking enemy missiles and

satellites in the world.

Now, this transmitter is operated by a
ruby crystal.

The formula's a top secret.

The fact that it could be jammed means
that an enemy agent knew the formulas,

otherwise they wouldn't have been able
to build the machine to jam it.

Now, someone in this unit is passing out
the information. You? No.

A complete list of the metals was found
in your cabin. A copy of the formula and

the calibration graph. And a dictionary
and travel brochure which proved that I

was planning to take my next leave in a
certain foreign country. Were you? No.

Then why did you buy the dictionary?

I never saw it before.

Three witnesses at the court of inquiry
said you've repeatedly expressed your

admiration. All I said was that the
government of this country could learn a

thing or two about efficiency.

That's your opinion.

How much were they paying you?

Who was your contact?

Now, if you tell me the truth, I can
help you.

If you lie to me, I can't do anything.

Well, if you really want to know, they
deposited a million dollars for me in a

bank in Honolulu. I have a beautiful
black dancing girl waiting for me. It'll

only be 15 years. Why did you, on
several occasions, stay behind in the

room after the others had gone?

Because I... I wanted to learn something
about my job. Or was it to memorize the

formula? No. Which you afterwards typed
out in your own typewriter? No. I think

you're lying. That's not true. I'm... I
believe that you were approached because

of your known political sympathies.

But gradually, bit by bit, you got so
involved you couldn't get out of it.

Because they'd paid you too much and
because you were afraid. That's not

think it is. I didn't do it. I gave no
information whatever to anyone.

Whose side are you on?

Yours.

Williams is off to the watch, isn't he?

Saturday, yes, sir. Is Steeda right
here?

Oh, yes, sir.

Don't drown it, please.

He saw Crane after lunch, sir, and then
went out again.

He wanted to see you, but you were over
in the control room most of the

afternoon.

Well, shall we go along and see how the
others are getting on? Yes, sir.

Will Lieutenant Commander Scott come to
the telephone at the porter's desk,

please?

Will Lieutenant Commander Scott come to
the telephone at the porter's desk,

please?

What are you looking so

gloomy about, Graham?

Oh, we had a bit of trouble with the
computer, sir. Don't talk shop in the

wardrobe. Mr. Warburton, it's our social
evening. Do you have a head of

security? Don't worry about me.

I've signed the official secret, sir.

There's Commander Steve now, sir. Oh,
good.

Commander Steve Nash.

How do you do, sir? How do you do?
Welcome to Zebra. Would you like a

Yes, I'd like a chip. Thank you. Do you
have a nice trip down?

A bit foggy out of London. Plain sailing
after that. Good.

Now, let's see. You're staying at the
Glendower Arms, aren't you?

Well, if you have any complaints, you
kick my secretary.

How do you do? Hello, sir. Oh, let me
introduce you. Now, this is Joe Franks.

He's the local press baron.

Commander Steed, a head shrinker from
the Admiralty. How do you do? And this

Dick Thorne. He's our chief egghead
around here on loan to us from Malvern.

do you do? You might show Commander
Steed around your box of tricks

Dick. Not that he'll understand it. Not
a chance. I'd be delighted.

Thank you. Oh, and this is Sub
-Lieutenant Graham.

A very serious scientist.

How do you do? How do you do, sir?

Come along, Mellows.

Organize some drinks for our guests. Oh,
yes, sir.

Social evening, you know, Steve. Once a
month, we invite all our civilian

friends up for a game and a drink.
Mustn't lose contact.

Nice to meet another stranger from outer
space, Mr. Steve.

You staying long? Just a few days.

Someone here in need of a psychiatrist?

None that I know of.

Hello, Mr. Steve.

What sort of treatment do you specialize
in? The sort that gets results.

Can we have the same again, please,
Maggie?

Of course, Mr. Rankin.

Who's winning?

Oh, Thomas, as usual. My eye's not in
yet, really.

Actually, I'm the worst darts player in
the world. Still, it's jolly good fun.

Take for something for yourself, won't
you, Maggie? Thank you, Mr. Rankin. I'll

have a lager with my supper, if I may.

Mustn't have too much on an empty
stomach.

Hello, Linda.

Thought you were going out tonight.

Couldn't come.

Have to write a report or something.

Anyway, I'm tired of the night. I'm
tired of the whole ready place. Darts

beer, that's all they ever think of.
Don't tell me. I'm sick of the same old

faces.

Never mind, though. Another few weeks,
we'll be out of this hole forever.

How'd you save him?

Eighty -five pounds so far, ain't you?
Sixty -odd.

This will be the twentieth time I've had
to empty him. Another fifteen pounds

should be enough.

Then the bright lights.

This is one little piggy that's not
going to stay at home.

Slash it?

That's too much. Bring it up.

Be gentle. You're not trying to throttle
someone.

This is what we call our main control
room, Commander. There's a transmitter

top with another dish like that one up
there.

In there, there's a computer which does
all our quick thinking for us.

And this is where it all comes out. I'm
not clear, really, what it is you

transmit. Light.

Specially manufactured rubies inserted
into a tube. Then we squirt light down

the tube. The light beam bounces off
some object miles up in the sky and,

we know what the enemy had for
breakfast.

What's the advantage of a radar?

Oh, far more powerful and accurate.

And the light beams are as ordered and
controllable as the rays sent out by

ordinary radio valves.

For instance, here, you see, distance
and hundreds, height and tens.

You see for yourself, she's about 100
miles up at all, 1 ,500 away.

She's an instrument capsule. That's the
upper atmosphere.

Been in orbit about a year now. Trouble
is, we know exactly where to look for

her. It's all too easy.

If you know where she is, why do you
have to track her?

Oh, just for practice.

In case there was anything flying around
that we really wanted to know about.

So it is a sort of radar?

Sort of.

Sort of.

The width and frequency of the beam
depends on the presence of minute

of certain metals.

Metals such as chromium, niobium,
titanium.

These are mixed with carbon and fused
over a white hot flame until we get

of ruby.

I can show you a labicolite if you're
not already too bored with all this,

Just baffled.

Back in a moment.

Aye, aye, sir.

Now, this is the lab, Commander.

Here's where we make the powders for the
actual ruby.

The powders, well, the manufacturer of
that, that's a well -known thing. It's

what we put with them that counts.

These are code names for some of the
stuff we use.

Are you much of a chemist?

Bottom of the cloud.

You might find this more interesting.

Here's where we actually make the
crystals.

We do quite a lot just for practice.

My new assistant.

Freddie, for more.

Hello. How do you do? Can women really
do this sort of thing? Oh, yes. Under

careful supervision.

Dr. Gale, would you mind showing the
commander exactly what you're doing?

of course.

I'll frighten the burning of your
fingers, eh?

What woman would be for ruby this size?
Anyway, you can control the flame quite

easily here.

Here you can see the beginning of the
synthetic growth.

And the flow of powder is regulated by
that trembler here.

I've just heard something.

They're going to have a new test
transmission with a new frequency on a

satellite next week. It looks like
sugar. Has the new frequency settled?

Yes, this morning.

Ruby?

Thorne made it himself, without help.
Could anyone find out what the mixture

before? We'd have to be after.

I'm not sure.

OK in a moment, Steve? When you are.

Find out, it's vital.

Could it be Thorne?

Possibly. How long does it take to line
up the transmitter?

Two or three days.

Someone's going to jam next week's
transmission. It has to be done pretty

quickly, and they have to know the
formula. Maybe tonight.

Well.

Any the wiser?

I'm going to stick to psychiatry. Thank
you. Good idea.

Well, I don't know whether I'd give you
a rough idea.

Can't you find anyone to play with, Mr.
Mellon?

Oh, just practices.

Well, shall I ask them over there?

No, thanks, Maggie. Not tonight.

Good evening, Mr. Langdon.

Oh, good evening, Maggie.

I haven't seen you with your paint box
lately.

What's the matter? Have you lost your
inspiration?

There's no light in this cold valley,
Maggie.

You've got to go south, where the sun
burns into the earth and brings out the

living colours.

Well, I've only ever been as far as I
was a swan, see myself.

But if you want someone to carry your
paint box... Ah, one day, Maggie, I'll

paint you cavorting in the
Mediterranean, like a mermaid.

Good evening, Mrs. Kerr. Hello.

What about a game of talk?

No, I'm afraid I've got to catch the
shops, but I shall be back, and I'll be

very happy to give you a game then.
Right.

I'll get my iron.

Good.

Hello, Linda.

I thought I told you not to come here
anymore.

Hello, doggie.

Who's doggie? I don't know. It just
wandered in.

Flextrave. Oh, I'm sorry. I hope he
didn't disturb you. No, that's quite all

right. Thank you.

Afternoon. Good afternoon.

Linda?

You don't believe I was working last
night? I don't care. You had a date with

and you broke it for the third time
running. Well, I'll make it up to you.

How about going into town tonight and
seeing a film? I'm tired of that

Everything around here is so old
-fashioned. Why don't they show some

films? I see. You're still yearning for
the gay life and the bright lives, are

you? Why not?

But I don't intend to stay in this place
all my life, and I'm saving every penny

I can to get out of here.

And where do you get the pennies to
save? Oh, wouldn't you like to know?

would. Linda, if you're in some kind of
trouble, I wish you'd tell me what to

do. I think you ought to mind your own
business. I can mock off myself, thank

you. Leave me alone.

Oh, don't be so stupid. I told you,
leave me alone.

All right.

If you change your mind, you know where
I am.

Have you seen Crane today?

Just for a moment this morning, sir.
He's suffering from acute depression.

Well, that's only to be expected under
the circumstances.

Tell me, have you been able to come to
any conclusion as to whether he's lying

or not? It's impossible yet. What might
your own professional opinion be, sir?

Why do you want to know?

Well, I don't know. I like Crane. He's a
nice fellow.

It would be rather embarrassing if we'd
arrested the wrong man. That's why I

can't give an opinion, professional or
unprofessional.

Ah, there's the man.

Good evening, sir. Good evening.
Something I forgot. Sorry to mention it

late hour. My report. Oh, yes, sure. I
couldn't remember if I'd mentioned it.

It's all under control. Don't worry.
Well, I particularly wanted the captain

read it, you know, by tomorrow. Will you
leave it to me?

What was all that about, Mellis?

Oh, just one of the usual reports, sir.
Oh, I see.

And where do you walk to at this hour?

I have a small piece of unfinished
business in the village. Oh, have you?

Well, don't keep her up all night.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I have to go.
Of course, yes.

Come down here whenever you like. Make
yourself at home. We're very pleased to

see you. Even if you are an admiralty
head shrinker.

Good night.

Good night.

Keep care for a game, sir. There's
nothing on the board. Thank you very

I'm extremely rusty, but anyway.

Here goes.

How's your patient?

Crane? Oh, Crane.

He's pretty terrible. What do you think
of him?

Are you a friend of his? Yes, he's the
only real friend I ever had.

We lived only a mile apart when we were
kids, but we never met until we joined

the services.

It's a funny world, isn't it?

When you know him better, you'll realize
Crane could never have done this. I

wouldn't take it too far. Why not?

Crane and I were like brothers. Don't
ask me why. It's just that now he's in

trouble, I've got to do something.

I know he's innocent.

I've discovered that there are two other
channels by which the information could

be passed out. I put it all down in my
report.

When the captain reads that, he'll have
no alternative.

No alternative whatsoever.

I think it is my turn, my boy. Hmm?

I'm sorry.

Are we playing billiards or snooker?

Snooker. The billiards had three balls.
Tell me about your drink. I think I've

had enough.

A good walk in the open air. Good night.
Good night.

Well, I won't call for you, Mr. Rankin.
Oh, thank me.

Hello?

Oh, it's you, is it? I thought I told
you enough to... Never mind. There's no

need to panic.

We can't talk about it on the telephone.

You'd better come round here and explain
everything straight away. Right.

Hello?

Hello, yes?

Oh, it's Rankin here.

I just had a phone call from a friend of
mine at HMS Zebra. He seems to have run

into a spot of trouble.

Yes, I think that we might have to...
Yes, all right. I'll leave that to you.

He's coming here by car and should
arrive in about ten minutes.

Right, right.

Listen, we leave it like this.

If he comes out alone, you'll know why.

He's sending a report.

He doesn't mention my name, but he
points out two ways in which the metals

have been known.

My dear boy, it's not enough to show
what might have happened. You've got to

prove that it didn't. Who can?

Does he mention any names?

No. Well, then, there's no need to
panic, is there? I can't go on like

It's too risky.

I came to tell you that I'm through.

I'm afraid they're not going to like
this at all. In fact, the skipper's

to be most upset.

I've heard too much about this blasted
skipper. Who is he, anyway? You tell me

who he is, and I'll do my own explaining
to him. Now, go on. Tell me. Who is he?

Don't lose your head.

Go back to the station now.

Now make an appointment to meet me here
the day after tomorrow.

And in the meantime, don't look so
guilty.

If you walk out of here looking like
that, they're bound to suspect

Right.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Mrs. Gale?

Yes? My name's Franks. I run the Equine
Chronicle.

I hope my report didn't bother you.

No, not at all.

Sorry, I couldn't be of more help. No, I
won't right now, thank you.

Shocking business, wasn't it?

I've already spoken to the police.
They're completely baffled.

Except that the motive was apparently
robbery.

Oh, was it?

Yes. His wallet was taken.

They're saying up at the station that he
never carried much about with him.

His attacker evidently didn't know that.

There's a lot of outside labor about at
the moment.

It'd be a violent way to rob a man,
surely.

Possibly.

Anyway, to change the subject.

What do you think of our little
community?

I expect it seems a little backward
after London.

You must forgive me. I have to find out
these things.

It's only a country paper, but we like
to keep away.

Have you seen much of the town? No, I'm
afraid I've been kept rather busy.

I'd like to show it to you, Henry.

That's very kind of you.

How about tomorrow?

Sunday's probably a good day for us
both.

Yes, it's fine.

I'll call for you here and give you a
noggin, and then we'll do our tour.

You might even care to see the old Echo
and Chronicle offices.

It's a good example of a family
newspaper, even though it's not my

Have you lived here long?

Long enough to know better, not of act.

No, no, I mustn't grumble.

I have fun here.

I suppose you know everybody for miles
around.

Well, if I don't, it means they must
lead a pretty dull life.

Ah, good morning, Squire. Off the leash
again?

Temporarily, yes.

Start as you mean to go on.

About 11 o 'clock, then.

And I wouldn't let you off without a
drink next time. Right.

We'll be seeing you.

You're always safe with a pipe smoker.

I'll let you know.

He asked me if I'd like to see over his
newspaper offices. I said I would.

Oh, you did.

Hello, Maggie.

Keep your eyes open. We haven't got much
time.

I've discovered one thing.

The only way to discover the formula of
the ruby after it's made and the storm

is to be...

Get a look at that top -secret list of
its components that he sends to the

admiralty. Well, the new ruby's
finished. There was going to be a leak.

already happened. I suppose Mellis could
be the leak, but if he was working for

them, why did they kill him?

Apparently,

the police think it was an outside
labourer.

Who told you that?

Franks.

Was Franks here when you saw Mellis?

No, not Franks. I'm positive.

Who, then?

Well, there were so many people, I can't
remember anyone in particular. Oh,

except that artist character.

Frankie? Oh, he and Mellis were playing
cards.

It all seemed perfectly normal.

But all sorts of pieces, they don't fit
together.

What we've got to find is the link.

That's it.

Slowly.

Full extension, that's fine.

Ready, sir?

She's a beauty this time.

Perfect grain.

Yes, let's hope she gets a free run.

Have a side.

Right, sir. Ah, good.

Report to me when you've made the final
check.

Well, sir, everything's ready? Done
good.

We'll calibrate over the weekend and try
the rail thing on Monday. Better not

boob this time either. We're six weeks
behind schedule as we are.

Ah, good morning, sir. Morning, Richard.
All set?

Yes, I think so. Well, except there's no
trouble this time.

And the Secretary of State for Defence
is coming down this weekend to watch.

It'll depend on his report whether or
not we take part in the NATO exercises

the end of the month.

Crane hardly never tried a jam of
trials.

Only one would pick up the satellite.

International one -upmanship.

Trying to prove that they're in complete
control of the situation.

So, this time is going to be different.
Why?

Because Professor Thorne has a new
crystal and a new frequency, both of

are unknown outside this establishment.

Only if you assume the culprit has been
caught.

Oh, pipe down, Graham.

I apologize, sir. I should have thought
the death of Lieutenant Mellors made it

pretty obvious.

Can't be sure that what happened to
Mellors is any bearing on this case.

you think Crane is guilty.

Look, Graham, I know how you feel.

I feel pretty unhappy about this
business myself.

I've always thought of Crane as a very
promising young officer, but there are

facts... Circumstantial evidence. There
are facts which seem to suggest that

he's been giving information to the
enemy.

No one outside HMS Zebra knows what's
happened. Most of the personnel here

that he's confined to his quarters with
an attack of measles.

By keeping the matter secret, we hope
that someone will give themselves away.

Sir, if the transmission with the new
crystal is jammed on Monday... It'll

that information could not have been
passed out by Sub -Lieutenant Craig.

Unless, of course, he broke from close
arrest on the first... We'll see.

We'll see.

Well, what do you think of it? Oh, it's
a fascinating place. I'd love to see it

in full swing.

The staff don't come into the afternoons
on Sundays.

Now, don't you prefer to see it without
the bods? We can hear ourselves think

for a change.

You must be very proud of all this.

I won't deny that.

Was it price that made you ask me to
come and see it?

Do I really need to answer that?

You're a very attractive woman, Cathy.

Thank you.

What a gorgeous view.

You can see for miles.

We get rather used to that, I'm afraid.

I hadn't realized how high up we are.

Surely that's part of HMS Zebra there
across the valley, isn't it?

That must be the roof of the control
room.

I believe so.

I'm more interested in the bar myself.

Have you never seen Over the Station?

A fascinating place.

Frankly, I'm too well aware of what we
owe to the services to try and poke my

nose in.

Doesn't news come first?

Even a newspaper man can have
principles.

Yes, of course.

Excuse me, dear lady.

Have you seen enough?

Have you seen enough to convince you?

To convince me of what, Mr. Franks?

That it's worth spending throbbings a
week on our little paper.

Oh, thank you, Maggie.

You're all dressed up. It's very pretty.
Where are you going, chapel?

Chapel? Oh, no, it's my evening off.

And every other Sunday, free.

And sometimes Tom takes the bar over in
the evening so I can get some fresh air.

Milk? Yes, please. Where do you go?

Usually to see a girlfriend, Linda. She
keeps her father's sweet shop just up

the road. I've seen it. It can't be much
fun for you young things around here.

You're telling me. I'm getting out of
here just as soon as I can.

You're quite right. Spirit of adventure.

I like to see it.

Fruitful? Not very.

I'm not sure I didn't make a complete
fool of myself.

Oh, dear. Really?

What do you make of this?

20X17 -5. Well, nothing at the moment.

We've had proof that the jamming is
local. How local?

Ten miles of zebra.

There's a second transmitter of the
stiletto type, which may or may not be

to jam our transmissions.

Then nothing you can do?

Not until tomorrow's demonstration.

I suppose anybody with a certain amount
of technical knowledge could know when

the Navy starts tracking satellite
gamma.

Yeah, they'd know when it was in the
area. It's a very well -behaved

I wish we could get you into the control
room tomorrow.

I think that's pushing the uses of
psychiatry even beyond Nash's credulity.

Where did you find this?

In a waste paper basket in Frank's
office.

Looks like a dark score.

Well, why would he have it?

It's the only part for eight miles, and
I've never seen him playing it.

Who are the regulars?

Oh, a few of the locals and old Thomas.

Rankin occasionally.

Oh, Mellows used to. Mellows!

I don't think you made a fool of
yourself at all.

Two ounces of the mixture, please.

And a quarter of the usual.

Something wrong, Kathy?

Yes.

I'm bored.

And I want more money.

You want me to do all this, you've got
to pay for it, you know.

All this?

A dog comes in here once in a while?

You take a piece of paper, pass it on to
me? You don't know where it comes from,

what it signifies?

I'd say that's easy money.

Well, I know the dog belongs to that
crazy artist, if he is an artist. And I

also know that you're very anxious to
get the paper.

Now, so far, I've kept the information
to myself, but I bet it's worth more

20 pounds for it to stay that way.

You've forgotten something.

How about?

In order to use all this money, go
somewhere where your beauty and talents

be appreciated.

You've got to be alive.

Yes, just about.

Hope all goes well for you today, Ken.

Which way do I take that?

Oh, yes, I suppose your loyalties are a
bit divided.

Yes, naturally I want the test to
succeed, but if we do get jammed again,

prove once and for all that Sub -Left in
the Crane is not guilty.

Quite. Sub -Left in the Crane?

Ah,

there you are.

Time to get started. Our visitors will
be here in a minute. Ready when you are.

All right, I'll take care of it now.

How long to go? About two minutes, sir.
She's quite quick, aren't you?

I hope the excitement doesn't prove too
much, choreographed. Nothing showing so

far, sir.

Oh, gentlemen, this is Dick Thorne. He's
in charge of the program.

He'd better have a talk later on.

You've got 50 seconds.

Right, sir.

The twist been clear? Yes, sir.

Watch for the bearings.

If they're steady, it's a good crystal.
Shall I check the feed?

Please, once you're settled down.

Anything in the PPI?

Not yet, sir.

There may be some static interference
when we pick it up at first, sir. Then

signal should get stronger over the next
minute, reaching maximum intensity

then.

Unless we get jammed.

There's something. What's that? Yes,
that's gamma, all right.

It should get stronger over the next 60
seconds. There you are. That's better.

That's fine, isn't it?

That's the best I've ever seen it.

I really believe you've done it this
time, Thorne. I really believe you have.

Let's just wait until we reach maximum
intensity. If we get past that, then

we've really done something.

Maximum signal coming up in five
seconds.

Starting now.

Four, three, two, one.

The bastard.

What's the selector?

Gambit.

Try the second radio.

Won't the sensitivity man hold it? All
right, all right.

They've done it again, sir.

Not so fast. Look, it's clearing. No,
that always happens. They're just

us we can do what they like, when they
like.

We'll never find out where it's coming
from. No, because we're dealing with a

controlled microwave.

Direction finding just doesn't work.

I'm sorry, gentlemen.

Oh, it's not your fault, Dick.

Let's go up to my office and have a
drink. I'm sure you could do without.

This way, Dick.

Cigarette, Kathy?

Thank you.

You know, I feel quite sorry for Nash.
It must be embarrassing having the

Undersecretary staring over your
shoulder.

I feel more sorry for Thorne. He must be
bitterly disappointed.

Yes, but at least this proves Sub
-Lieutenant Crane is not guilty.

Yes, he does look pretty conclusive.

Of course, I had a few worried moments,
but when Lieutenant Mellors was

murdered, well, I knew Crane couldn't be
guilty.

Have you any idea why Mellors was
killed?

He probably read my report.

Oh? What was in it?

Well, I didn't mention any names,
nothing as open as that.

I just hinted how the ingredients of the
rubies could have been discovered by

people other than Crane.

Have you any idea who Mellis could have
passed the information on to? No.

Have you?

I hear that matter with a piece.

I convinced the moot it was Robert Ed.
Poor Mellis.

He was a good officer.

Had his faults, and then we all.

Wouldn't be human if we hadn't.

Well, if it's all right by you, I'd like
to publish the facts in next week's

edition. Oh, yes, that's quite all
right.

If he hadn't been killed in the village,
I could have kept it out altogether.

Quite so.

You know, I do appreciate your
consideration in this matter.

Odom? Who?

I can't hear you.

Yes, I believe he is. Hold on a minute.

Mr. Graham?

Excuse me.

Oh, Graham, you might tell your
girlfriends we don't encourage personal

here.

Graham here.

Oh, hello.

I've got to see you tonight.

Sure, what time?

I've got to get Dad's supper, say, nine
o 'clock. All right. Well, what's the

trouble? It's about a dog.

I can't tell you now, except you're
right.

You will come.

Yes, of course.

I hope not.

Well, I hope she's a little bit more
presentable than the last one, Graeme.

No, sir. She wants to talk to me about a
dog.

Well, I must be on my way. Oh, won't you
stay to dinner?

I'd love to, but I'm afraid duty calls.

Oh, dear.

He seems to be in a better mood tonight.

Oh. He's all over the place.

I wouldn't judge the Navy by that, young
gentleman.

We were all young once, I suppose.

Well, it's been a very pleasant logging.
My dear fellow, any time.

You've forgotten your beer.

Oh, thanks.

When you see her, don't take no for an
answer. No, I won't.

Good night. Good night.

Oh, it's Frank.

Good evening, Peter.

You care for a game, sir? Well, let it
be denied, then. Snooker or Billion?

Snooker or Billion.

Snooker. Come on, set him up.

Will you be seeing Michael tomorrow,
sir?

Eh? Crane?

Probably.

I wonder if you'd give him a message for
me.

Yes, of course.

I wonder if you'd tell him that I think
I'm on to something.

What's the matter, Graham?

Stuart, quick, give me a hand.

I've got a message for you.

From Graham.

Graham was the lady. He asked for you to
give me the message. Will you go? I'll

call my boss.

What are you going to tell him? It was
personal.

Whose dog is it?

What dog? I... I don't know anything
about any dog. Yes, you do. Yes, you do.

Now, look, Graham is dead. He's been
murdered.

Now, who owns that dog?

I don't know.

It belongs to Rankin, the artist. Go on.

He doesn't come here himself. He sends a
dog with a message in its collar. What

message is it? What did they say? I
don't know. I don't have to read them.

do you do? I can't tell you. Who told
you?

Who told you?

He told me. Linda?

Just coming.

Lock the door.

Oh, you're too good for me, Mrs. Gale.
Too much practice, I'm afraid.

There's one thing, though. I won't touch
a dog when I get to London.

You're very keen to get away, aren't
you, Maggie? Well, wouldn't you be?

Yes, I dare say. But I wouldn't be in
too much of a hurry if I were you.

London can be pretty lonely, you know,
so by yourself.

Don't finish, Maggie. Carry on.

Graham's been murdered.

Why? He's poisoned with nicotine, I
think.

Have you seen Mr. Rankin, Maggie? Oh,
he's taken his dog for a walk, sir. He

does every evening.

Excuse me. All right.

Get up to his room and have a look
around, quick. Mr. Rankin.

You take my turn, eh?

Huh?

Maggie, if Mr. Rankin comes in before I
get back, keep him down here, will you?

Give him a drink, chat him up a bit. You
know how to do that, don't you?

Yes, quite successful.

We can't continue to operate from here
much longer.

Things are hotting up. I have to get rid
of Graham.

Tonight.

One of the NITO exercises due to start.

I see.

Yes.

And without Miller's, there's not much
else we can do.

Tonight, then?

Right. Goodbye.

Nice walk, Mr. Rankin. Oh, yes. Thank
you, Maggie.

Would you like a little whiskey before
you go up on the house?

You look a bit cold.

Do I really? Well, that's very nice of
you, Maggie.

Thank you very much, Maggie.

Oh, you want the other half, don't you?

No, thanks. I've got some work to do.

I was just thinking, you know, there's
not much point in going to bed at this

hour, is there?

I mean, there's such a thing as having
too much sleep, don't you think so? Oh,

very probably, but I must do some work.

Well, if I were you, Mr. Rankin, I'd
have another game of darts and relax,

you'll be fresh to do your work in the
morning. Oh, I shall be all right, thank

you, Maggie.

Bye -bye.

Thank you, Maggie.

Oh.

Hey, look, where's Rankin? I don't know.
Has he come back?

Well, Maggie said he'd come up here.
Maggie, I thought you said Mr. Rankin

come up here. He went out again, sir. Do
you know where? I think I know where.

After you. Sorry, ladies first.

They're here.

They're coming. They're sent for the
police. They're bound to. Stop blabbing.

What happened?

It's Deed. I'm the gale woman. She was
in my room. She may have found

What could she possibly have found?
There's nothing on paper connecting you

me. Was there?

No, of course not.

Then what makes you think she'll come
here?

Well, they might have talked to Linda.

I think Linda knows better than to give
anybody my name.

Yes, but what are we going to do?

We've still got to ensure that the HMS
Zebra doesn't take part in the NATO

exercises. Look, look. There are
headlights coming over the bridge.

Let them come.

We'll prepare a little reception for
them.

No, Franks. Not me.

I came here to warn you. That's all.

I need you, Franky.

What is all this?

Franks, you can't keep me here, Franks.
You can't.

You've only seen Patsy when she's lined
up on the navy.

What good's that going to be? They
aren't going to be stopped by a beam of

light. They are by this one.

Patsy can stop any living creature with
blood in its vein. What?

Anybody who steps into Patsy's beam will
have their body temperature raised to

350 degrees centigrade.

Their blood would coagulate on the spot.

Yes, and the police are soon going to
know why, aren't they? Long before the

police can sort out the cause of death,
this apparatus will be dismantled and

destroyed.

Of course, our Central Committee have
strong views on people who leave

lying about.

Oh, who told my... Oh, no, I don't...

What's the last time I was here?

enough to be a maneuverable and powerful
enough to jam anything than about 10

miles. It's bright if you'll not switch
on the lights.

It's my zebra, isn't it?

Could be.

Yes. Look, there's the laboratory and
that's the control room.

Yeah.

Well, the birds have flown.

Only one of them, I'm afraid.

Do you think Frank did this? Presumably.

Now, listen, Frank is dead.

They're not cheating.

What's his next move?

Don't move, Thorne.

Frank, what... You'll find out soon
enough.

But you have to work late tonight.

Anyone in the control room?

Open the door.

Get up.

In there.

You all right, Thorne? Yes, sir, sir.
I'm all right. Where is it?

Dismantle it.

How long? How soon will it go off?

Five minutes.

Oh. Never get it off.

Those things are made of stick.

Hmm?

I see. Well, do you want your head blown
off? Don't, don't, don't touch that.

I'm not going to, don't worry.

Mr. Franks is going to, um, defuse it?

I don't think that's very likely.

All right, we'll do it.

It works in a combination of numbers,
like a, like a save. It'll take us hours

to get out of here. Sound the alarm.

Well, what about you? I'll join you in a
moment.

Quick, you're valuable.

Don't you consider yourself valuable,
Mr. Steed?

By my reckoning, it's two minutes.

Forty seconds you've got.

No worry.

If you change your mind, let me know.

You'd better shout loud or maybe some
way away.

You're not going to leave me here?

They're very funny things, those bombs,
you know.

May not kill you, just mess you up a
bit.

Let me out!

Let me out!

In there.

With Frank? How long have we got?

You get him out. You can't let him blow
himself up.

He won't.

You'd better leave. You can't risk it.

Fifty seconds, Frank.

You'd better go, Mrs. Gill. You can't
leave him in there.

Go on.

They're out!

I can't hear you. You'll have to shout
louder.

Let me in!

Thirty seconds.

No! No!

All right.

I must say, Steve, I didn't share your
confidence.

However, you've considerably raised my
opinion of psychiatrists, and I'm sure

Second Lieutenant Crane would support
that view. Let's go and tell him.

Yes. May we? Yes, of course. I think
you'd better do that. He'd never believe

me.

I think that's your baby, that little
one there, Commander.

Thank you.
