Thank you.

Registry would like you to sign for it,
Mr. Dolby.

I'd ask their grandmothers to sign for a
bus ticket.

You're not forgetting the chairman's
meeting.

I'm not likely to forget that now, am I?
Only it is fixed for five.

For some species, Miss Lamb, an hour is
a lifetime.

Miss Lamb, kindly remind Mr. Dalby he's
expected, will you? We can't wait

indefinitely.

Then find him, as quickly as possible.

He must be somewhere in the building.

As Mr. Dalby is the only oceanographer
among us, and for reasons best known to

himself has failed to join us, I've no
option, gentlemen, but to postpone the

meeting. I'm sorry you've been troubled.

Coulson here.

I'm sorry, Sir Eric, I'm still trying
to... I've had enough of your excuses.

I've had the whole building searched.
There's no sign of Mr. Dalby. But he

be somewhere.

Huh. Dalby wasn't much good on approach
shots either.

A crafty putter, though.

I made that young man McGill.

Made him from nothing.

And this is what one get.

Nearly two months now since.

Since what?

Since he walked out.

One's entitled to some explanation.

I did make him a junior director.

I'd even hope that one day he and my
daughter might make a go of it. Then

Takes off with some of the firm's most
advanced research.

You mean he stole it?

Well, it's not quite as simple as that.

His service contract did give him some
claim on our research findings.

But morally?

They don't make profits on moral.

What about the research?

Oh, you wouldn't understand it. It's all
with an oceanographer.

Well, why don't you try plain English,
Sir Eric?

A scientific expert on everything that
happens in or at the bottom of the

He'd been working on plans to start
commercial sea farming in the Adriatic.

We can farm fish, you know, the way a
farmer grows wheat or a rancher raises

cattle.

Dorb is one of the world's authorities
on the Adriatic.

You think he sold his findings?

There's no evidence of it.

The results haven't shown up in the
industry.

You want me to bring back the papers, is
that it? No, no, no, just find him.

Tell him, tell him all's forgiven.

I can understand how any man working at
the paper he did can go off balance.

You might put it to him that at least we
deserve first chance to buy the papers.

Well, three quarters of the earth is
covered with water.

And that's a lot of water for an
oceanographer to get lost in.

Well, there's no doubt about it, sir.

The old guy is hiring McGill.

That's a bad break.

It sure is. What should I do?

What can you do?

Too much at stake to rock the boat.

That's right. What about McGill?

He may never find Dolby. If he does,
he'll have to take his chances, such as

they are.

Right.

We know he flew to Athens.

I have reasons to believe he may be
headed for the Greek islands.

What reasons? Are there investigators?

We're a big company. We have our
resources.

How much?

Two thousand down, with a month's
expenses.

Well, it's about the right time of year
for the Greek islands.

Another two weeks like this and I'll be
out of my mind.

Why me?

Why'd you have to pick me?

Well, you're an expert at your job, and
you're single like me.

There's nobody to mourn either of us if
we're killed.

I wish it would begin.

I once waited in the lobby day and night
for seven weeks, starting Christmas

Day. Nearly froze to death.

For president and country to stay alive.

You know this guy?

No. Have you ever seen him around
before?

Have you ever seen this guy?

Have you ever seen this guy?

Yes, he's staying here.

He'll be in soon in his powerboat.

I think we've fresh company.

Small world.

That makes at least two.

They're beginning to bite.

He's no Albanian.

You can tell his nationality from half a
mile?

His name's McGill. He was bounced out of
American intelligence about a year

before I became an agent.

A lot of human yo -yos.

Not him.

He was thrown out for good.

Look, I know I'm only an amateur at
this, but isn't it possible he's still

of you?

I have a confidential file back in
London. There's a picture of Miguel in

and under the picture are my
instructions on how to handle him.

How? Like poison, pal.

No word yet of when your new engine will
arrive.

Repeat, no word yet of your new engine.

Another two weeks of this and I'll be
out of my mind.

What did you say his name was?

McGill.

Does he know as much about you as you
know about him?

He doesn't know me at all.

What does he drink?

You're all right, Packard. I heard loud
and clear.

gives you any trouble, whistle and I'll
come running.

Otherwise, I'll see you at the ball
tonight.

Black tie is optional, I take it?

Just be there on time.

Rudnick will be waiting.

Oh, yes, dear Rudnick.

What should I say to him? The
interesting thing will be what Rudnick

you.

Nicky, have you got the register handy?

The register, sir?

The big book with the names.

Oh, yes. Just a moment. Thank you.

Thank you, Mickey.

Mickey, the American, the one who
arrived today... McGill, sir.

Is that his name?

Yes, sir.

Room 17.

17, on the first floor.

Thank you, Mickey.

Sir.

Good night, Mickey.

Good night, sir.

Who is he?

Rudnick, sir. He's from Albania, via
Athens.

You know him long?

Only since two weeks.

Two weeks.

Did he come before or after the other
two?

No, later.

Have any idea what his line is?

21. The same floor as you.

We learn not to take time too seriously
here in Corfu.

How long will you stay? Till you're
bored?

I don't bore easily.

The time to play and the time to play.

And no women.

How about your friend?

Your friend, the American, Mr. Packard.

Oh, he does get bored and it's his
fault. Oh, I envy him, his boat.

Was it...

Your idea to come here, or his?

Ours.

He is very rich, your friend, Mr.
Packard.

I wouldn't call him deprived.

Are you in any sense partners?

Yes, yes, we're pretty good friends.

I'm in business, Mr. Dolby. I buy, sell,
make contacts.

Sometimes offers for papers of
commercial value.

But you have nothing to sell.

Pity.

A great pity.

Oh, you know Mr. Rudnick, don't you, ma
'am?

Hello, Anna Petticlaw. Oh, you speak
Greek.

It's always fascinated me, the language.

Are you on vacation, Mr. Rudnick? I
wouldn't say that. Your fame is far

-reaching, Dolby. No, I am here to do
business. I have ready money for the

research papers. Now, wait a minute.
Now, don't deny it, Dolby.

I know.

You know.

The whole world knows about your
research into sea farming.

Even, I am sure, your partner, Mr.
Packard.

So you're a businessman from Athens?

I didn't say that.

Where then?

Tirana.

Tirana. That's in Albania, isn't it?
It's the capital.

And behind the curtain?

In your language. In ours?

You are the ones who are locked in. But
political geography should be no bar to

what you call, Mr. Packard, a good deal.

How good?

I am ready to bid.

So am I.

And I'm ready to talk to you about it
any time you like.

We haven't even met.

McGill.

It's a seller's market.

How much have you heard?

More than was said.

Left to know you shouldn't pass up any
opportunity.

I don't intend to.

Why don't you have a few words with Mr.
McGill now?

But not here.

Rudnick's not here for an auction.

I'll top his offer.

He'll get the chance.

Let's go.

This McGill, he is an American
businessman?

Worse.

Police.

Sort of.

Intelligence.

Forget what I just said, Mr. Rudnick,
and what you just saw.

I see.

Mr. Packard, you have my sympathy.

Let's drop the subject, Mr. Rudnick,
please.

If I can be of any help. I mean, if this
Mr.

McGill should turn out to be a nuisance.

We might have to take you up on that,
Mr. Rudnick.

We just might.

Who's the one who wants you back in
London at your desk?

He says everything's forgiven.

Tell him, no thank you.

Are you holding some explanation for
running out on him, I think?

Well, now.

The sun shines all day here.

Alarm clocks don't go off.

Commuter trains don't run.

What do those reports do?

They belong to me.

That's a legal question.

Possessions, nine points of the law.

They're for sale, aren't they?

Certainly.

Is that Albanian, too?

People get hungry on both sides of the
Iron Curtain.

The Albanians can pay enough for my
method to increase their food supply.

I'll take their money.

You think you're going to get back to
London someday, rich, suntan, and free,

nothing ever happened?

I'm not thinking about it.

Well, you better start thinking about
it.

Sometimes when you make the break, those
pieces just don't fit together again.

I'm speaking from experience.

Don't sell to Rudnick.

Tell Coulson...

Make me an offer.

I can't help feeling sorry for Colston.

What he must think of me. Just
concentrate on the operation.

Rudnick seems straightforward enough.

Rudnick's an Albanian agent.

Are you sure?

I radioed for a check.

So the Albanian government appreciates
my research.

It's possible they're on to bigger fish.

You better face it, Dalby. They may know
why we're really here.

And why is Rudnick out in the open?

Either to scare us off altogether or
panic us into doing something foolish.

What do we do?

Follow orders.

Well, McGill may be useful.

Uh, the harbor guard will be off in half
an hour. I'll take first watch on the

boat. No, no. Let me.

Adriatic nights are rather beautiful.

I haven't noticed.

Listen, Coulton, I told him all of that.

He just doesn't want to come back.

What about the papers?

Those papers are up to the highest
bidder. And you got some pretty stiff

competition there.

Who's bidding, then? There's a guy named
Rudnick.

He's an Albanian.

Albanian? Yeah.

Leros is Albanian. He's the greatest
oceanographer in the world.

Why do they want our stuff when they got
him?

Yeah.

That's right. I see what you mean.

Well, I'll look into it.

I'll get back to you later.

Right. Goodbye.

So many brandy.

Use this, but try not to get pushed in
while wearing it. That's a good chap.

These I don't mind about.

The shirt was custom -built in German
street.

Well, you didn't have to go to all that
trouble.

All part of the service.

I'd better not ask you how I got here.

Well, you didn't exactly leap out of the
water.

Know how you came to the end?

Yeah, I think I ran into King Kong out
there somewhere.

He has a pretty good punch.

Yes, he does.

That he does.

I'm glad you were there.

We'll be embarking in an hour or so.

I'd like to know what you were doing on
this boat before you went swimming.

He's not one of you gorillas, is he?

Better make it sound good, McGill.

Well, I just have this thing for small
boats.

I just love one.

I assume he was after my papers.

Now, there's a question as to who they
really belong to.

But not to you.

Not to you either, Fred.

I called your boss a little while back.

Told him about the competition I'm
having from the Albanians.

That's true.

Well, he doesn't believe it. He says
that there's a Professor Leros who's one

the world's outstanding oceanographers
that happens to be Albanian.

So what?

So they need his research about like...

The Atlantic needs salt.

I told him I'd look into it.

You can call the police if you want to.

You have searched him.

I left a fountain pen lying around.

What's that?

You left something else lying around,
too.

I used to have one of these when I
worked for American Intelligence.

Standard issue, federal patent.

Now, what kind of dummy are you leaving
this laying around?

I'll only warn you this once, McGill.

Listen, somebody tried to kill me
tonight.

I'm just wondering how much you had to
do with it.

As much as I could.

I figured that.

I know your background, McGill. You wore
the same coat six years ago and you

weren't bounced for dependability.

Now, if you're short of a buck or two to
get back where you came from, I can

spare a thousand.

You really are a dummy, aren't you?

How much do you know?

Listen, I don't want to know anything
about you. I don't care what you're

Nothing. I just don't care. I'm
interested in cool sense papers, and I

know if I can buy them. You were
supposed to stow these, and you weren't

supposed to let anyone in here.

I couldn't let him drown.

I would have.

You noted our sailing dates.

I'm not blind, dummy. And you've
concluded... I've concluded nothing.

You concluded that on one of these odd
dates, one of us will be going ashore up

here off Durazzo in northern Albania.
Then I don't want to hear about it.

deep in the confidential file already.
Well, stop putting me there.

Now, listen.

I'm only here to buy your papers.

Then make sure you don't wind up a long
way short of middle age in the Adriatic.

He may have failed tonight.

He? What do you mean, he?

You're an American citizen, McGill, even
if only just.

The guy who nearly had you drowned and
will try again is at the hotel.

Our Albanian friend, Rudnick.

That's right.

You've set him up. I tried, pal.

I tried as hard as I could.

Wrong dates, wrong place.

Everything he has is wrong.

Except Professor Leros.

He won't connect it. But what about
Rudnick?

You'll probably compare wrong
information with McGill.

I'll kill him.

Better him than us.

Come in.

Well? We've just had confirmation from
Packard, sir.

They're sailing on schedule.

Well, that's Packard.

Dependable. Yes, not very imaginative,
though.

Imagination could be fatal in this
assignment.

What about McGill?

Bad news.

He's dead.

No, he's alive.

He cabled a newspaper friend of his
asking for information.

About what?

Dalby. And the newspaper friend cabled
him Dalby's complete biography before we

could stop him.

Then McGill knows about Dalby and the
submarines.

Shouldn't be much help, though.

Unlike Packard, McGill has imagination.

Well, we could send Packard further
orders.

He doesn't need them.

Packard knows how to deal with McGill.

As I said, imagination can be fatal.

That's rough.

As of this moment, this department never
heard of McGill.

There never was such a person anywhere
near our operation.

Clean out the files.

Amend the reports.

No McGill. Not ever.

Sir.

Try to control yourself.

Why me last night, Renick?

You have a temper.

That's right, and I've got a couple of
lumps on my face, too.

A coffee might ease it.

Let me say at once, if I had known last
night what I know about you now, there

would have been no unpleasantness.

Half wrong.

You are no longer officially... On the
other side.

Are you?

You keep Kong in this cage, Rudnick.

You know, McGill, you and I have certain
things in common.

Yeah, this lump I have on my face and
the one I hope you have coming on yours.

Don't rush away.

There is so much at stake here.

It would be a pity if... If what?

If what? What's at stake here?

I needn't tell you about the balance of
power between the East and the West.

Sometime you must have thought about it.
How, for the security of the world,

that balance must be maintained.

Deep sea farming has absolutely nothing
to do with a balance of power.

And our friends aren't here to make many
fish where once there were only a few.

No. But what they wish to do is immoral.

What's that?

It is immoral if one side is prevented
from making the adjustments to restore

the balance.

What kind of adjustments?

All I can say is that our side pays
well.

Well, then I'll stick to your side, if I
were you. Take your time, McGill.

Let's discuss it over dinner.

Shall we say nine tonight?

Why not?

Let's say nine tonight.

Marco?

Minamazito.

Yes? Please.

Will you send up another breakfast? This
one is cold.

Yes, sir.

I've been thinking.

What?

About McGill.

The bit one -sided.

It's what?

I mean, McGill doesn't even know what
he's getting into.

They can always send a wreath from you.

Don't you get tired of the view?

Here it is. They've spotted us again.

We don't hide our boat from the
Albanians. They don't hide their radio

from us.

It's always like this, Packard.

Fun and games.

We've sailed here off dreamy Durazzo
every odd day for two weeks.

Every time we've come, they've spotted
us and notified the patrol.

Two weeks.

Be quiet.

This silly game is supposed to fool
them?

Yes. But when the great even day comes
and you get your precious orders to sail

someplace miles and miles from here,
they'll be waiting for us.

Sick from laughing.

Don't overestimate them. And don't
underestimate me.

Leave this table to Mr.

Patrick. Nicky, come on inside.

Your engine will arrive on time.

He's being advised to leave today.

Where's he gone?

I didn't say.

Now he will say, get me a taxi.

Yes? Will you get me a taxi for the
airport, please?

Yes, sir.

Get me one, too.

Wait

So

now

we can get cracking good afternoon
gentlemen, hi Rivne Your journey went

We didn't think.

I'm glad we still have business to do,
Mr. Dolby. You and I.

Not now. I could sleep for a week.

This evening, then?

This evening.

Eight o 'clock.

Here in the bar?

It is the only place to do business.

That's right.

You will need your wits about you. I
drive a hard bargain, so they say.

I need a drink.

Dolby.

You go up to the room and do your
homework. It's done.

You won't have more than ten minutes
with the professor.

It's absolutely crucial you be alert
enough to identify him and authenticate

information. A martini. One little
martini. Take this seriously, Dalby.

You can't afford to be flippant when
you're responsible for half the world.

Yes. You were asking about the charter
plane.

Right. It is a private flight. They're
going to Tirana.

Tirana? In Albania.

Well, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Okay, it's full.

All right.

Hey, I thought I'd find you here.

Hey, been on a long trip, fellas?

Cleaned off all your decorations, too.

Take it good and fast, McGill. We're in
a hurry.

Yeah, you gotta meet Rudnick tonight.

I wonder if he's gonna be back in time
to meet you, though.

I don't think he can be in two places at
once, and I just saw him on his way to

Albania. I suppose you personally saw
him off.

Something like that.

Is there anything you want to tell us,
McGill? He's come to ask, not to tell.

Hey, dummy.

Give your brain a break, will you, for
about ten minutes.

I just want to know where Coulson will
find those papers once you're reported

dead. Go on.

Go on what?

What do you know, McGill? I don't know
anything.

I don't have to. Neither does Rudnick.
All he has to do is have a hunch. That's

good enough.

All right, then let's have it.

Okay.

You're an oceanographer.

You're an expert on the Adriatic.

You spent five years in the Royal Navy
submarines.

There's secret charts around here.
There's a shortwave radio set around

somewhere. There's a map of the Albanian
coast. Boy scouts here. The Boston

Square from American intelligence.

And you've already made your odd date
trip out.

And it looks like you're getting ready
to make a longer trip. And you'll

probably arrive at your destination on
an even date.

And? And what more do you want me to
say?

It's your story.

Albania is China's ally.

So? So what about the pretty well
-authenticated reports of a Chinese

Polaris submarine?

How about that?

What do you need, an underwater depot in
Europe somewhere, based in the

Adriatic?

And that'd put it in your territory,
wouldn't it, Packard?

In the range of Europe's cities.

what I think you two nuts are going to
do.

I think you're going to sail this little
boat out to the middle of the Adriatic

somewhere and you're going to meet
somebody who's going to give you or sell

the information to that submarine base.

And all this baloney about deep sea fish
farming is just a cover to get you

here.

You won't be going to shore, Miguel.

Better get below Dalby and get started.
We'll be in position in ten minutes.

Take McGill with you.

Somewhere around in here.

Roundabout.

That's pretty far from Durazzo.

A long way from the Albanian patrol
boats, we hope.

Who are you meeting?

Professor Leroff.

I met him at an international conference
years ago.

Oh.

So that's why they picked you.

Uh -huh.

They need me to authenticate the
information.

Are you single?

Yeah.

Sure, man. They got you marked down as
expendable.

Well, somebody's got to do it.

That's beautiful.

That's great. That's just what they want
you to say.

Somebody's got to do it.

As you are.

You know, you're as square as Packard in
your own way.

Thank you.

Were you single when you were kicked out
of the American intelligence?

Yep.

Expendable? Yep.

It figures.

Yep.

Professor Nero's Dolby.

My friend Dolby, Professor.

Mr. Dolby, we have met, I think. Yes,
Professor.

That's all right. He's one of us.

Are you, sir?

As quickly as possible, please.

Two submarine vests.

The first is a dummy, intended to
mislead. The second is the one we will

ahead with. A special channel is being
prepared.

Marvelous stuff.

Thank you. You thank me. My own people
would call me a traitor.

It doesn't matter.

All that matters is what my conscience
tells me to do.

It's Rudnick. Get the papers.

You kicked them off. You sold us out. I
don't.

They don't know I'm here.

They don't know about you? No, I swear.

Then prove it. Get in there.

You mean in here? That's right.

What are you going to do?

Bluff them.

Give me a gun. I'll give you a bullet.

Come on.

We have a cover story. Now get in there.

John Rudnick?

Packard? Dolby?

Professor Leron.

We did not have the opportunity to meet
on the boat.

Is there anything you wish to explain?

I'd like you to explain what you're
doing on my boat.

Or better yet, I'd like you to get off.

Your boat has been impounded.

By an Albanian businessman?

No, by the Albanian government.

What are you doing here, Professor?

The Professor's an oceanographer like
me.

and even better known.

He's inquiring about those research
papers from my firm.

Really? He would like to buy them.

He has a right to bid.

Can't you think of a better cover story?

It's the only story there is.

Perhaps you have managed even to
persuade the good professor to drop a

or even documents about metal creatures
that swim under the water.

Look for yourself. We will.

Thoroughly later.

There's plenty of money, Rudnick, in
this sea farming operation.

Money? In advance for you. Against
concession rates.

A bribe? World security at stake and you
offer a bribe?

Do you really think that men of honor
can only be found on your side?

Now, if you please.

Quickly and quietly.

fair trial.

chance you expect me to trust you you
have to come on give me the papers i'll

try i swear where do i go number one

Don't look up!

Ah, McGill.

Glad you're back.

How are you? Good to see you.

Listen, I'm sorry about Dolby's papers.

But I got them back.

A fellow from the Foreign Office
released them to me today.

I don't see how the Foreign Office got
into it, but there you are.

Well, that's great.

Just mail me my check.

Well, where's Dolby?

Well, I don't think he'll be around for
quite a while.

Excuse me.

Well, things got a little fouled up, but
I think this is what he wanted.

Thank you, Miguel.

You are aware, Miguel, of the
seriousness of what you may have

heard, and that any irresponsible
disclosure could lead you into trouble

our country.

I know that you're no longer
officially... Listen, wait a second.

that stuff.

What about Packard? What about Dalby?

Plainly, Miguel, we never heard of them.
