All language subtitles for Alfred Hitchcock s05e29 The Hero.eng

Good evening.

I thought you might be interested in
seeing one of the world's first

tubes. In those days, everything was in
glorious color.

Repairs were unheard of, and the tube
never wore out.

But of course, we've managed to improve
those details.

A few of you may consider staring at
this a rather limited form of

entertainment.

But our ancestors found this bottle
quite exciting, but of course they were

ones who had emptied it.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, our play.

Excuse me, Sir Richard Musgrave, isn't
it? Chairman of Consolidated Trusts?

is my wife and daughter.

Oh, it's not your first trip to South
Africa, is it, Sir Richard? No, not the

first. The first in 20 years.

Oh, I expect you'll find lots of changes
then. Are you going too, Lady Musgrave?

No, this is a business trip. My father's
very old -fashioned. A woman's place is

in the home.

Really, Elizabeth.

Now, let's have some more smiles,
please. Relax, Ryan.

What do you want for a present?

How about an eight from Gibraltar?

Don't be prestigious, darling. That's
just the sort of thing your father might

do. Don't worry, we don't stop at
Gibraltar.

Where do you stop? Magera, then stay
down to Cape Town.

All right.

Yes. I think I'll go down to the country
at the end of the week.

I think I should. I'll send you a cable
from Cape Town.

And remember to do three times around
the deck every day. No nonsense from

My waistline, my own repair.

Goodbye.

We shall miss you, dear.

Goodbye, dear.

Goodbye, Daddy. Have a good time.

I shouldn't bother to wait, my dear.

It's no good keeping dinner waiting.

We'll be thinking of you.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

First order the right, sir. Thanks.

Come.

Morning. Oh, good morning, sir.

Anything I can do for you, Sir Richard?

You have a complete list of the ship's
passengers.

Yes, but it hasn't been posted yet.

Can you tell me if there's a passenger
aboard named Jan van der Klau?

I see, sir.

No, not in first class.

Any class.

No, no Jan van der Klaar at all, sir.

I just thought I happened to catch sight
of him. I must have been mistaken.

Thanks. Is he a friend of yours?

A friend.

A friend of mine.

Won't you join us? Please do. I think
it'd be fun.

All right.

Good. Yep.

did you go to? I don't know, sir.

Did you sign?

He didn't sign his name, sir. He just
put his cabin number on.

You remember me, Janet Boswell? Yes, of
course. A year ago, with your wife at

Ascot. Yes, indeed.

I see you know each other.

We're old friends, Henry.

Henry Caldwell, Sir Richard Musgrave.
How do you do? How do you do? I

you're a friend of Alexander Task.

Task of Austin. Yes, he's the one. We
used to work together in Transatlantic

Oil.

Here, you need a little attention.

Oh, thank you.

Now, oil.

Oh, yes, motors.

I wanted to ask you, what do you think
of Thor Motard? Why do you think it

be a good investment?

Oh, don't be so modest. I read recently
that you're one of the major

stockholders. Enjoying yourself, Sir
Richard? Fine.

The man over there, do you know him?

Yes, of course, Mr. Kaiser.

I'd like to meet him.

Nothing easier. Let me introduce you.

I don't believe you gentlemen have met
Mr. Kaiser, Sir Richard Musgrave.

How do you do?

Excuse me, please.

Forgive me, I didn't quite catch your
name.

Kaiser.

You know, Mr. Kaiser, you remind me of a
man I knew years ago.

Jan van der Klaar.

Oh, there's a panel there. I pay for
having a common face.

Everyone thinks they've seen me before.

Sir Richard, the radio operator has been
looking for you.

My call through? Yes, this way, please.

This clipping was pushed under the door.
Did you put it there? No, sir.

Did you see anyone else clip it under?

No, sir. But I had a call to another
cabin, sir.

All right.

Will that be all, sir?

Lunch is now being served.

Hello. Mr. Garza, would you join us?

Have a drink?

Yeah, for that one.

Where's Richard?

I'd hoped to see you last night, Mr.
Garza.

Oh, you did?

I'm sorry, I was playing bridge with
some friends.

There's something I wanted to talk to
you about.

Ah, business, business.

I'm on a holiday.

That's all you're interested in? How
dull.

Have you ever been to South Africa
before, Sir Richard? A long time ago.

And you, Mr. Kaiser?

Oh, I've been there.

Do you know it well?

Whoever knows Africa well.

A certain part of it.

Johannesburg and Kimberley and the
northern section of the Transvaal.

Fine mining country.

Yes, I'm told.

Won't you sit down, Sir Richard?

Thank you.

This is my first trip out.

Oh, yes?

I'd like to talk to you more about
Africa, Mr. Kaiser.

Would you lunch with me?

Oh, lunch.

I'm so glad you reminded me. I promised
to have lunch with those people I played

bridge with last night.

You'll excuse me.

I'm late now.

Good evening, Sir Richard.

Good evening.

May I help you?

Oh, some cable form steps.

Thank you.

Do you know Mr. Kaiser?

Mr. Kaiser? Yes, sir.

I wonder if you remember if he's made
any phone calls or sent any messages.

Why, yes, sir. A lot of passengers have,
including yourself, sir.

I wonder if you remember what Mr.
Kaiser's were about.

No, but we naturally keep a report on
it, sir.

Mr. Kaiser, myself, was something rather
confidential, nothing very important,

of course.

But I wondered if he'd gone ahead and
cut it in a cable.

We can't divulge that information, sir.

My name is Kaiser.

No. You're Jan van der Klau.

Twenty years ago, we were partners.

You haven't changed so much that I don't
recognize you.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I do.

I remember it very well.

And so do you.

You can't stand there and pretend you
don't remember that last trip.

It's unlucky from the start.

That night outside the cafe village, we
were drinking.

But, Sir Richard, I don't drink.

Of course you do. I've seen you on the
ship.

Well, I take a glass of beer
occasionally.

That night, we were arguing and we got
to fighting.

I thought I killed you. It was all a
mistake. I didn't want to hurt you.

I thought you were dead.

If you were dead, what would be gained
by my giving myself up?

Do you understand?

I'm sorry I don't.

Of course, I admit it was wrong of me to
run away and take your money.

Money? You know what I'm talking about.

It's only 75 pounds.

Look what I've done with it.

Manufacturing, oil, mining.

I've built it into millions.

Of course, something else more
important.

My family.

I'm married. My wife's a wonderful
woman.

Me and I have a daughter.

Five years ago, I got my knighthood.

Now there's a chance for peerage in the
new year.

Congratulations, Lord Musgrave.

It's not that. It's not for me. It's for
them. They're counting on it.

Of course, the breath, word of scandal,
it'll be all over.

Of course, the law couldn't do anything
to me.

It isn't murder.

After all these years, the statute of
limitations sets in.

Oh, yes.

The statute of limitations.

Exactly. All you could accomplish would
be gossip.

Embarrassing my family.

Well, you wouldn't want to do that,
would you, for the sake of a few pounds?

Me?

Why ask me? Because you want something.

What is it you want?

What is it?

Do you want to pay you to keep quiet?

All right.

I'll pay you.

I'll set you up in business.

Any business you want.

Just name it.

Put you in one of my companies.

Fifty thousand a year is a salary.

What do you think of that?

Or a settlement.

Complete settlement.

Half a million pounds.

Well, tell me what you think.

Tell me.

This is very embarrassing, Sir Richard.

I'm afraid I have very nearly as much
money as you.

May I come in

Your

daughter

Your wife? Yes.

On this trip, Sir Richard, I found
myself...

In the unwanted role of a father
confessor. But... No, wait.

This is not only embarrassing to me, but
undoubtedly painful to you.

Why not put an end to this cat and mouse
game?

Admit who you are and tell me what you
want.

But I've told you my name is Kaiser.

And I don't want anything.

You know, though, I am reminded of a
story. A true one, I understand.

Why I should be reminded of it, I don't
know.

Except... that it also deals with the
amount of 75 pounds.

75 pounds?

Yeah. Quite a coincidence.

Would you like to hear the story?

This is supposed to have happened a long
time ago in Africa.

I believe I've heard you mention you
know Africa quite well, Sir Richard.

Now, this man in the story...

It was a prospector. What was his name?

Oh, what difference does it make?

It's just an interesting story.

Now, this prospector had been down on
his luck.

Couldn't get any more credit.

He did manage to scrape up the money for
one last final try.

He took a partner, a young Englishman.

They were two months, no luck.

You know how it goes.

Now, this prospector had just about 75
pounds left.

And he had to get back to Kimberley with
it. But why?

Why was it important to keep 75 pounds?
Did he want to invest it in something?

Oh, we'll come to that.

Then luck, fate, fortune, let's call it,
stepped in.

The prospector, somewhere on his way
back, lost the 75

pounds.

And if he wouldn't have been found by
the coffers, he would have lost his life

too.

But then luck seemed to want to make it
up to him.

Months later, he made a strike.

Then good investment.

He made millions.

So it goes.

But you still haven't explained why the
75 pounds was so important.

My wife.

Oh, yes, I remember.

I never met her.

But the 75 pounds!

Oh, how forgetful of me.

The prospect needed the 75 pounds
because his wife needed an operation.

When he lost it, his wife died.

And I'll...

And so tomorrow we reach Cape Town.

And now, as captain of the Craigmore
Castle, and on behalf of the crew, our

officers, and all of the passengers, I
am honored to present this cup in

recognition of a very gallant deed.

Greater love has no man than this that
he lay down his life for a friend, so

Bible tells us. But there must be a
greater love, that of a man who is

to...

lay down his life for a stranger.

To Mr. A .J.

Kaiser for his outstanding heroism in
attempting to save the life of

a fellow passenger.

That concludes our show for tonight.

By a stroke of good fortune, I happened
to be on board that particular ship. I

caught the whole rescue with my little
long focus movie camera.

I got every detail.

I thought the captain might like the
roll of film as a little souvenir.

By the way, building a boat in a bottle
isn't difficult and it's no work at all.

once you have shrunk the carpenters down
to the proper size.
