it seems.

to enlist his service.

it often happens like that.
461
00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:17,930

came running up the lane.
462
00:25:17,930 --> 00:25:20,070
He said he'd left his cane
behind and could he get it.

Well, I didn't want the fag
of coming all the way back here.

00:25:22,072 --> 00:25:23,383
So I took my keys off the chain
465
00:25:23,383 --> 00:25:25,247
and told him to hurry up
and not keep me waiting.

to hear you say that.

very private matters to discuss.
498
00:26:27,344 --> 00:26:29,311
Now, you two have got plenty
to occupy you.
499
00:26:29,311 --> 00:26:30,692
Oh, by the way,
500
00:26:30,692 --> 00:26:32,487
Roberts also offered to have
his room searched,

00:26:32,487 --> 00:26:33,557
should it be necessary.
502
00:26:33,557 --> 00:26:36,698
I doubt it will be.
503
00:26:36,698 --> 00:26:38,735
Now, look, I must have
those plans back, Pryde!

I must have them back!
505
00:26:40,564 --> 00:26:42,428
Yes, that's why I'm here.
506
00:26:42,428 --> 00:26:44,913
Now, they were on this scale,
I take it?
507
00:26:44,913 --> 00:26:46,156
Yes, yes, they were.

00:26:47,536 --> 00:26:50,816

He's been with me for 10 years.
511
00:26:54,302 --> 00:26:57,201
Very steady chap,
quite beyond suspicion.
512
00:26:57,201 --> 00:26:59,997
Mm.
None of us are beyond suspicion.

Well, I've had him two years.

You don't sound
very enthusiastic.
516

them a dozen times already!

Yes, but perhaps they got
caught up together somehow.

by any chance

of a foreign power --

it could be very serious
for you.

for both of us.

by all this?

are still on the premises.

Put away that pistol.
878
00:45:28,933 --> 00:45:32,039
Are you all right, man?
Where's Hunter?
879
00:45:33,903 --> 00:45:35,974
Good God.
880
00:45:35,974 --> 00:45:37,251
You will consider yourself
under my arrest.
881
00:45:37,251 --> 00:45:38,597
PRYDE:
Your Highness is a trifle late.
882
00:45:38,597 --> 00:45:40,151
I think the police
have first claim.
883
00:45:40,151 --> 00:45:42,153
Unfortunately, this is not
a matter for the police,
884
00:45:42,153 --> 00:45:43,602
Mr. Pryde.
885
00:45:43,602 --> 00:45:47,365
This is a domestic problem
for these gentlemen to resolve.
886
00:45:47,365 --> 00:45:49,816
Mr. Ivanov
has a diplomatic passport.
887
00:45:49,816 --> 00:45:51,024
He's committed murder
on English soil!
888
00:45:51,024 --> 00:45:52,819
We shall deal with this fool.
889
00:45:52,819 --> 00:45:55,407
- Your Highness, I protest!
- You protest to me?
890
00:45:55,407 --> 00:45:58,065
You, a secret policeman,
protest to a prince?
891
00:45:58,065 --> 00:45:59,687
The Okhrana is my authority.
892
00:45:59,687 --> 00:46:02,207
- Your authority is finished.
- Oh, really, sir, I feel --
893
00:46:02,207 --> 00:46:04,037
I'm afraid this matter
is out of your hands, Pryde.
894
00:46:04,037 --> 00:46:07,040
And how will you
explain him away?
895
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,940
Oh, suicide...
maybe an unsolved murder.
896
00:46:10,940 --> 00:46:13,805
You should be very pleased,
Mr. Pryde.
897
00:46:13,805 --> 00:46:15,634
You have solved your case,
898
00:46:15,634 --> 00:46:19,673
while Jaeger will forge
no more rubles.
899
00:46:19,673 --> 00:46:22,089
And incidentally,
you have rendered me
900
00:46:22,089 --> 00:46:24,885
the inestimable service
of bringing this man
901
00:46:24,885 --> 00:46:27,750
to a more realistic conception
of his duties.
902
00:46:27,750 --> 00:46:28,958
We can't just leave it at that!
903
00:46:28,958 --> 00:46:30,408
He was a spy and so is Ivanov.
904
00:46:30,408 --> 00:46:32,824
I thought I had made it
quite clear, Mr. Pryde.
905
00:46:32,824 --> 00:46:34,688
- We do not want --
- Yes, I know. I know.
906
00:46:34,688 --> 00:46:36,103
You don't want
a diplomatic incident.
907
00:46:36,103 --> 00:46:41,005
Mr. Gillow, your man
will yet make a diplomat.
908
00:46:41,005 --> 00:46:44,767
You, out!
I have a carriage waiting.
909
00:46:55,191 --> 00:46:57,815
[ Birds chirping ]
910
00:47:01,611 --> 00:47:04,269
Jonathan, have you seen this?
911
00:47:04,269 --> 00:47:05,650
Seen what?
912
00:47:05,650 --> 00:47:07,031
"Mr. Leonid Ivanov,
913
00:47:07,031 --> 00:47:09,033
a second secretary
for the Imperial Russian Embassy
914
00:47:09,033 --> 00:47:10,206
in London,
915
00:47:10,206 --> 00:47:11,587
has left England.
916
00:47:11,587 --> 00:47:13,865
It is understood that he was
recalled to St. Petersburg
917
00:47:13,865 --> 00:47:15,315
at short notice."
918
00:47:15,315 --> 00:47:17,110
I wonder if it was Siberia
for him or a promotion.
919
00:47:17,110 --> 00:47:19,043
I think it's dreadful,
the way he got off.
920
00:47:19,043 --> 00:47:22,322
Well, you see, my dear,
we mustn't get involved.
921
00:47:22,322 --> 00:47:23,841
[ Knock on door ]
922
00:47:23,841 --> 00:47:26,153
Who on earth can that be?
923
00:47:31,089 --> 00:47:34,782
Jonathan, there are
two gentlemen to see you.
924
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,133
Mr. Gillow, Captain Harris.
925
00:47:40,133 --> 00:47:43,067
I must apologize for this
unwarranted intrusion, ma'am.
926
00:47:43,067 --> 00:47:45,863
We would like to have
a brief word with your husband.
927
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:49,728
Very well.
928
00:47:52,697 --> 00:47:54,147
Do be seated.
929
00:47:54,147 --> 00:47:56,218
Thank you.
930
00:47:58,806 --> 00:48:02,120
My dear fellow, I don't know
how to congratulate you.
931
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:03,121
Coffee?
932
00:48:03,121 --> 00:48:04,398
No, thank you.
933
00:48:04,398 --> 00:48:07,332
You've handled the whole
business most efficiently.
934
00:48:07,332 --> 00:48:08,747
Prince Oblonsky, no less,
935
00:48:08,747 --> 00:48:10,646
has asked me to commend you
personally.
936
00:48:10,646 --> 00:48:11,647
Indeed.
937
00:48:11,647 --> 00:48:14,270
Your tone does him an injustice.
938
00:48:14,270 --> 00:48:16,997
After all, it was he
who warned us in time
939
00:48:16,997 --> 00:48:19,620
to avert an incident neither
Her Majesty's government
940
00:48:19,620 --> 00:48:21,726
nor His Imperial Majesty wanted.
941
00:48:21,726 --> 00:48:24,729
You know, in future, I think
I shall stick to jewel robbery,
942
00:48:24,729 --> 00:48:26,317
blackmail, and embezzlement.
943
00:48:26,317 --> 00:48:28,215
The Admiralty was most impressed
944
00:48:28,215 --> 00:48:30,838
with the way
you handled the case.
945
00:48:30,838 --> 00:48:33,117
You know, I've often thought
there ought to be
946
00:48:33,117 --> 00:48:35,774
some sort of a law
to protect our official secrets.
947
00:48:35,774 --> 00:48:37,673
Parliament would never pass it.
948
00:48:37,673 --> 00:48:39,330
[ Chuckles ]
Probably not.
949
00:48:39,330 --> 00:48:40,987
Anyway, my dear fellow,
950
00:48:40,987 --> 00:48:44,887
I hope we may persuade you to
act for us again in the future.
951
00:48:47,441 --> 00:48:49,478
No, I don't think so.
952
00:48:49,478 --> 00:48:51,445
I prefer crime.
953
00:48:51,445 --> 00:48:53,068
It's more honest.
