All language subtitles for Man in a Suitcase s01e08 Essay in Evil

What have you got? A couple of plates
from the Falcon and a crated prop.

Didn't see you in, did I?

We came in the Ray Brigade.

Yeah, hang on.

Okay.

Can't you go any faster?

We don't want the holding to blow up.

Don't be stupid. This isn't fused.

Have any trouble?

Couldn't be better.

In an hour, we'll say we were hijacked.

Just right.

Go easy on that.

Want some?

I'll stay sober, thanks.

I learnt that much in the Navy.

Aye, aye, sir.

This weight.

Wouldn't mind if there was some action.

Just a bit hanging around.

I've got it.

Get a bar, Harris.

You're not going to open it, are you?
It's got to be checked, Peters. We can't

afford any risks.

It's got to be right.

Standoff will do.

One World War II naval mine.

In perfect condition.

Yeah.

For the perfect murder.

Preservation. Yes, sir. What name?

Brown.

James Brown. Oh, yes, Mr. Brown. Would
you like to sign here, please?

Thank you.

Mr. Brown's in number 19.

Excuse me, please.

Anytime.

Just let me get my key.

Yes, Mr. McGill.

What the blaze are you doing here? I was
waiting for you.

That sounds a good story.

Let me explain.

Explain to the manager.

What if he calls the police?

That's your worry.

See, I thought that'd be your worry, Mr.
Harris.

Hello, I wish to make a... Hello?

My name's Brown. Only here.

At 22 Elton Place, London West 1. It's
James Stewart Harris.

Hello, sir.

It doesn't matter.

Came back from my pipe. Oh, it's over
there.

Have we met before someplace?

Could be. Could be.

I don't recall your face.

Oh, now, that's not one of your strong
points, is it, recalling faces? Because

you just missed one down the hall.

It's a friend of yours, Felix de Burg.

He's also registered in this hotel under
the same name.

What are you after?

Ah, that's a leading question.

You don't look like a petty thief.

Why?

All right, you're not behaving like one.

Well, you're not behaving like a
respectable stockbroker who's married

some kids, are you?

Even the most respectable stockbroker is
entitled to a break.

As Mr. Brown?

You know the way it is.

And with a wife and kids looking on?

Well, it may be a coincidence that three
of George Master's friends are all

registered in this hotel under assumed
names.

In fact, it may be a coincidence that
his holiday home's about ten miles from

here. It may be a lot of things, man,
but whatever it is that you clowns are

to, forget it fast.

Now, just a minute.

Harris, you're amateurs, all three of
you.

So whatever you're planning to do to
Masters, just call it off as of now,

Thank you.

He'll be back.

What does it matter?

We may as well go home.

Go home and keep on paying masters.

Go home and resign ourselves to being
blackmailed by him for the rest of our

lives. What else can we do?

That should be obvious.

Yes, Mrs. Masters speaking.

Lucinda.

Yes? Can you talk now?

You shouldn't call me here.

Has anybody been around to see George?

No. Oh, well, just the Greggers and...
I'm talking about an American.

Young, grey hair.

No, nobody like that.

Wait a minute.

There's a car.

Yes, I think it's him.

Grey hair?

Yes, that will be fine.

Thank you very much, Maria. I'll see you
later.

Masters must have come in the room.

What some women won't do.

Just be grateful she hates him as much
as we do.

It's too long, George.

Marie's going to cut it for me. No.

It'll be so unmanageable on the boat
tonight, and I do want it to look good

the Gregors' party. I like it long.

I'm like Porphyria's lover.

Who? He liked it long.

He tied it in a knot.

Come in.

Yes, Crick.

Mr. McGill's here.

Bring him in. Yes, sir.

Who's McGill?

A client?

No, I'm not blackmailing him.

He's helping me to compile some
information on a prospect.

Without knowing how you'll use it?
Naturally.

Would you mind using the other door,
please?

Keep it long. But George, it is... Long!

McGill.

You shouldn't be up here.

You hired me to tail the bird, didn't
you? Mm -hmm.

Well, he's here.

Where? He's holed up at the Glendure
Hotel with two other friends of yours.

Who?

James Harris and Tom Peters.

DeBerg, Harris and Peters are at the
Glendure? That's right.

But they don't even know each other.
Yes, they do. They've been holding

meetings all over London.

They're pretty busy at the Glendure
trying to ignore each other and their

assumed names.

Other than that, they seem respectable
enough.

Respectability, McGill.

Like civilization is only a veneer,
there's always the dog underneath the

I don't think I like your philosophy any
more than I like this job.

You're not paid to like it, you're paid
to do it. I've done it, and you owe me

$500 plus expenses for doing it.

You'd better report daily from now on.

I don't think you understand.

There are going to be no more reports
from me.

because I'm resigning.

I don't pay for unfinished business.
It's finished.

Listen, you hired me to tail the Berg as
a suspected industrial spy.

He's got no more interest in your
business than I have.

I don't know what you and your three
friends are up to, but I know there's no

love lost between you. That's my
concern.

That's right, and let's just keep it
that way.

If you want this,

You're going to have to earn it. I've
already earned it. I've worked for you

one week. Now, what are you worried
about?

I don't think you have to concern
yourself with whatever they were up to,

because I told them to cool it. You did
what?

I told them to forget whatever they were
up to, because I was on to them, and I

don't think they're going to try
anything.

I'll decide that.

In the meantime, you get back to the
Glendure and find out precisely why

there, all three of them.

You'd better get a dog, Masters. He'll
come when you whistle.

Crick!

Come on, give me the money you owe me.
He bites, too.

Well, I've had my rabies shot.

Come on!

You know, McGill, your past history is
very interesting.

An ex -American intelligence officer
suspected of treason?

Operating here without a license and
carrying a gun. I know that story. Now,

what is that to you?

Now, don't you think it would be politic
to cooperate?

Politic or blackmail?

Persuasion. Now, you go back to the
Glendure, and I'll credit this

to your account.

See, silence is golden, therefore
expensive.

You are blackmailing those guys at the
Glendure, aren't you? I'd say that I

certain arrangements.

Now, you're really beautiful.

Depends on your outlook, McGill.

Knowledge is an asset.

An asset is what a businessman exploits
to make his little profit.

Crick, show McGill out.

Not before you show me my money.

Now, come on! Crick!

Come on.

And if I don't, I get what happened to
Crick.

Worse!

McGill, in what way is your blackmail
different from mine?

Mine work.

have to take off. Oh, so soon.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I have to.

Well, make out your boyfriend's bill.

going on?

I didn't think you three were
recognizing each other up here. You've

rather an excessive interest in our
business.

Well, why don't you relax? I'm moving
on.

Where to?

That's my business.

We know your name's Miguel.

What is your business?

Monkey business.

What's yours?

We want to hire you.

What for?

We want to buy your memory.

Not for sale.

We're willing to pay you a lot of money
if you completely forget everything

that's happened in the past 24 hours.

Look, I get my kicks out of remembering
things.

We'll be paying you to ignore the kicks.

Just forget we've been here.

Harris.

The past 24 hours are worth 5 ,000
pounds.

Think about it.

I did.

You keep your money, I'll keep my
memory.

But it's very important.

I'm glad for death.

Mr. Harris gets overexcited.

Well, murder's not a game for a family
man to be playing.

But nobody mentioned murder.

Just leave here, forget all about us.

For that, you get 5 ,000 pounds.

Yeah, and if I pick up the paper one day
and read that Masters was killed, I

just turn to the funnies. Is that right?
That's what you want me to do?

There's no murder, I guarantee it.

Look. I already told Masters you three
dummies were here.

Now, why don't you just make it back to
the big city? It's much safer.

The offer stands.

Five thousand pounds.

Cash. And the answer stands.

You know how much to say, do you?

It's all been said.

Excuse me.

Listen, McGill, I've got a wife and two
children. You're wasting your time.

Then why don't you give them a break?

If Masters is blackmailing you, why
don't you go to the police? They're

efficient. At least it's legal.

Would you go to the police? Of course
not.

He's got nothing to tell them.

Well, that's right. I have nothing to
tell them as long as Masters is alive.

Come on.

would like to see you outside in the
car.

I won't be a moment.

Hello, Jean.

Hello.

Isn't this a little unconventional, Mr.
Masters?

Well, it's simply that I think that my
friends are planning a surprise party

me, and I'd like to surprise them first.

How can I help you?

Are my friends registered at the hotel?

Yes.

Mr. Brown, Mr. Foster, Mr. Parley. When
did they check in?

Today.

Are you having a birthday party, Mr.
Masters?

No, not precisely.

Thank you very much, Jean.

You won't mention it to my friends, will
you?

Anything you say.

Was McGill right?

Yes, they're here.

But how did they get to know each other?

Tell me, Crick.

You're not becoming...

Ambitious, are you?

Oh, I thought not.

There must be somebody I can trust for
richer or for poorer, for better or for

worse.

Let's go, eh?

Bye, Mr. McGill.

Something wrong with your car?

Yeah, he's sick.

We'll get him to a hospital.

Oh, there isn't a garage around here.

The nearest is about five miles away
towards Kilburn.

I'm going that way.

Really? Well, listen, uh... Mind if I
hitch a ride with you?

Of course not. I'll be pleased if
accompanied.

Oh, great.

Okay.

Wait till they're out of sight.

Now.

Have you been here long?

Long enough.

Are you bored?

Can I help you?

Good afternoon, Maria.

No, I was just wondering if I could have
a word with my wife.

Oh, yes, certainly.

If you'd like to leave her a message,
I'll see she gets it. No, I want to see

her. Oh, well, she is having the full
treatment.

Well, you know the rules of the house.

But she is here.

Oh, yes, she's here, all right.

Yes, here.

But sometimes, I mean, just sometimes,
you do keep little secrets for your

clients. I mean, innocent little
secrets. Mr.

Masters, I assure you, your wife's here.

Yes. Mr. Masters!

Mr. Masters, please.

Do you mind?

Really? I'm sorry, Mr. Masters, but
really, I'm sure you'll find there's a

perfectly innocent explanation. Your
wife... Do you have any police in

A constable, I think.

Why?

Well, I think my car was poisoned.

If you're stuck for the night, I could
put you up.

You think I've just got one of those
husbands that doesn't understand me?

I don't either, ma 'am, and I just don't
have time to find out.

You should try to make the time.

We're going to take a shortcut.

Mind the bump.

Don't be a fool.

Who is this?

You haven't met?

No, I guess not.

Permit me to present Mrs. George
Masters.

Get him in the other car.

It's definite.

We're sailing to the Gregors' party
across the lock.

What time do you get to the boathouse?

About 8 .30.

Make sure George goes in the boathouse
first.

We'll handle everything after that.

Are you sure?

It's going to work, darling.

I'm counting on it.

We'll be together very soon.

Look, I only bargained for one killing.

It's all happening so fast.

Look, can't we just dump him out there
anywhere?

And he walks straight to the police.

His word against ours. Three to one. And
how would you explain about the way he

looks?

And what about us being at the hotel
under false names?

No, we kill him. Look, we'll have to
wait. We'll have to try something else

another time.

He may have told other people all about
us already by now. Yes, he could be

right, Harris.

We can't go ahead now like this in cold
blood.

Come over here.

What about McGill?

He'll keep.

Look out there.

Master's boathouse.

We see it. Well, then think about it.

How often does Masters come to the
boathouse? How often?

Not very. Not very, right. But he's
coming tonight.

I say we put it off.

And the mine?

It's still there. What do we do about
that?

And Masters knows about us now. Remember
that.

What'll he do if he's still alive
tomorrow?

Extort more money?

Or send Crick after us with a knife or a
gun?

You're right.

We do it to both of them.

I don't know.

Listen.

Masters comes tonight.

We knock him unconscious along with
McGill.

We put them both in the boat.

We set the wheel and let her go.

She can't miss the mine.

There's only one channel between those
two boys.

A World War II mine just drifted into
the lock.

An accident.

An explosion.

And it's all over.

And we're free.

To be free!

Don't you want that, Harris?

More than anything.

Come on.

Tie his hands behind his back.

You don't want any trouble.

I told you to tie those hands behind his
back.

You're beginning to get a bit of a kick
out of this, aren't you?

Yeah, he's turned into a real John
Dillinger.

Well, get on with it. Not much time.

Where's the lady?

She'll be along in a minute. Don't talk
to him.

What's her interest in all this? She
getting blackmailed by her husband, too?

Don't make it hard for yourself, McGill.
What am I supposed to do? Just die like

I'm enjoying it? Yes, you had your
chance. You didn't take it. Yeah, so

Kill masters. Kill everybody.

Look.

Now, that's enough. Now, get these on.

You better do like Dillinger says.

He's liable to chop you down, too.

Will you shut up?

Be careful.

See how tough he is?

We're not playing games.

We're not savages either.

Who's kidding who around here?

Listen, Harris.

You better try and find out how Mrs.
Masters fits into all of this.

Don't be possessive.

You've got to share that with Masters.

He can have my share if he wants it.

I just don't think he's going to be that
big a fool.

He's going to get it on his way to a
party tonight.

That'll be a blast.

If he goes, you sure he's going?

We're sure.

Don't you think it's going to look a
little phony, DeBerg? A body floating

around with his arms tied.

There won't be much of you left to look
phony.

You're not changed.

I've decided not to go to the Gregors'
party tonight.

But, darling, we promised.

And it'll be a beautiful night for a
boat trip.

So you didn't have it cut?

No, you said not.

And you always respect my wishes, don't
you? Of course.

Do you know what... Porphyria's lover
did.

He twisted her hair around

her neck and he pulled tight. George.
And he strangled

her.

Of course, her hair was much

longer than yours.

I have to go to London, you see.

Why?

Business?

You got your car keys?

Yes. Better let me have them then.

But why?

Because we shall be leaving your car
here.

Oh.

We're going tonight. Well, I've got a
pack. No, no, no. There's no need.

What do you mean?

How's Felix?

Who? You know Felix.

Felix de Burg.

Oh.

He's all right.

He's in London, I suppose.

He's at the Glen Dewar.

I didn't know.

Odd that he shouldn't have told you he
was coming up.

I mean, especially as you're so
friendly.

Yes. Yes, I suppose it is.

Odder still that he's here with Harris
and Peters.

And I think they're planning to kill me.

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

Oh, no.

Harris and Peters have every reason to
wish me out of the way, but they didn't

know each other.

Give me your rings.

What are you playing at?

I'm terribly careful to keep my business
associates apart.

Now, only two people could have brought
them together.

Crick or you.

I've never met them.

But you knew about them.

Duberg was the puzzle to me. I've
nothing on him. I'm not blackmailing

But I can put two and two together.

You're out of your mind. Your rings.

You can't scare me.

I know too much about you.

Crick!

Sir, take her rings.

Just what do you want?

Everything that I ever gave you.

Do you think you're not welcome?

I'm glad to get rid of them.

And of you!

gave you everything that a man needs.
You're not a man. Andy Berg.

At least he's alive.

Then you go to him.

Exactly as I found you.

Penniless and worthless.

I'll kill you.

You've missed your chance, my dear.

Out.

Shouldn't have been surprised at
anything that she did.

I've got to get to London.

I'll get the car.

Too slow.

No telling what those idiots are
planning.

We'll charter a plane at Ardronach.
Drive to Ardronach? Don't be stupid,

We'll go across the lock.

We'll take the boat.

Yes, sir. The boat.

A mine is the most effective and least
expensive form of naval warfare.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Yes, I think we've been very clever.

You've got to give us our due.

What's so clever about killing people?

Getting away with it.

You really think you're going to get
away with it?

I think so.

Even if you get by the police, you're
still going to have to deal with the

He's on our side.

Don't kid yourself.

The Berg's on the Berg's side, and he's
not going to stop after he takes

Master's wife.

What do you mean?

Are these fuses ready?

Yeah.

Let's get it fixed, then. Get in the
water.

Just a minute, Harris.

You'll want this.

Peters, there's not much time left now.
Whatever Masters has on you, it's not as

bad as murder.

Well, there are some things worse than
murder.

I made a bad mistake once.

Masters found out.

Oh, I know we all have to pay for our
mistakes.

I've been paying long enough.

But don't you make a mistake, McGill.
I'm not Harris. If it comes to it, I can

kill.

Masters, are you?

If I've got to choose between my future
and your life.

Sorry. There's no choice.

Don't push me too far McGill get up

Get

up get up

against that wall

Get him inside, Masters.

Help him, Peters.

Get on with it.

Get in that chair.

Close the curtains, Peters.

Sit down.

Look at this. He was armed, what do you
expect?

Where's Lucinda, Masters?

Do you know about de Burgh and my wife?

Yeah.

This man's dying.

Well, if he didn't die now, he'd have to
die later, wouldn't he?

What's happened?

It was him or us.

He wasn't excluded.

He wasn't expected.

What have you done with Lucinda,
Masters?

He's really got you two tied around his
little finger, hasn't he?

That's true.

Shut up or I'll kill you now.

Look, we've got to do something.

He's gone.

He's dead?

Get him in the boat. But he's dead.

Well, you get to kill him twice now,
Harris.

Look, it wasn't meant to happen this
way.

It makes no difference now. Get him in
the boat.

I can't. Come on. I can't. Come on. I
can't touch him. I can't hear.

Watch them.

Shoot if you have to.

fun in it, Harris. Shut up.

Three people killed for your peace of
mind.

Look, I'm not doing this just for
myself.

It's for my whole family, my children.
It's your fault, all of it. I never

killed anybody.

Listen, Harris, I'm prepared to do a
deal with you.

I'll pay you back every cent.

Blackmailing all three of us.

No.

No, not all three of you.

Only you and Peters.

I've nothing on de Burg. I never did
have.

Master says he'll do a deal.

It's too late for that now.

He also says he wasn't blackmailing you,
de Burg.

That's a lie.

So what's all this killing for? Just so
you can have his wife?

I thought you said you were being
blackmailed, too.

Give me the gun. I asked you a question.

Don't be a fool. Answer me, then.

We're all getting what we want.

And just what are you getting?

What do you mean?

You guys really are dumb, aren't you?

If he gets the wife, he's going to get
the blackmail business too. You're just

going to be paying him instead of
Masters.

He's trying to split us. They're both
trying to split us. Let's get on with

Wait. I don't think we can take the
risk.

Shut up.

I never liked you.

But I put up with you because I thought
you were being blackmailed too. No,

you're not.

You want his wife.

Oh, masters, you deserve everything
you're going to get. I'm sorry for you,

McGill, but in your case, it's
necessary.

Come on, Harris, pull yourself together.

I can't go through with it.

Four lives.

Well, make up your mind. Which side are
you on?

Well, if there's no other way, then I...
Bill!

No! I can't stand anymore!

Yeah!

of the frying pan into the fire, McGill.

No. What are you doing? Let me...

Miguel, listen. Wait.

What?

Wait.

Get these off of me.

And you just stay here till the police
come.

Lady once told me about a place called
Kilburn.

I gotta go find my suitcase.
