1
00:00:32,660 --> 00:00:35,330
Good evening, Earthlings.

2
00:00:36,260 --> 00:00:39,200
Now you housewives
know what to do with

3
00:00:39,230 --> 00:00:41,870
your rugs when
the moths eat at them.

4
00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:45,440
Put the moths to work.

5
00:00:45,470 --> 00:00:50,380
After all, if you
can't lick them, join them.

6
00:00:50,410 --> 00:00:53,210
This could be
the transportation
of the future.

7
00:00:53,250 --> 00:00:56,920
I'm certain that
the day is not far off

8
00:00:56,950 --> 00:01:00,920
when the two-carpet family
will be quite common.

9
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,290
No special launching
platform is needed.

10
00:01:04,330 --> 00:01:07,360
The well-waxed hallway
of your home will do.

11
00:01:10,330 --> 00:01:14,970
10,000 feet up,
and yet I could swear I saw
a billboard.

12
00:01:16,810 --> 00:01:18,240
Over there.

13
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,520
Shall we get off?

14
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:07,920
No.

15
00:02:40,090 --> 00:02:41,320
I'm sorry.

16
00:02:58,910 --> 00:03:00,380
I wonder if I could
have one of those?

17
00:03:00,410 --> 00:03:01,380
Of course.

18
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:04,380
Thanks.

19
00:03:06,110 --> 00:03:08,050
I should have got
some at Nairobi.

20
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,550
You live there?

21
00:03:11,750 --> 00:03:13,190
Thank you. I was born there.

22
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:18,490
That's luck. My own brand.

23
00:03:20,060 --> 00:03:21,360
I've been smoking
them ever since the war.

24
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:26,500
I was a correspondent
during the war.

25
00:03:26,530 --> 00:03:29,570
American Wire Service.
Bizerte. El Alamein.

26
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,270
I was a nurse's aide.

27
00:03:31,310 --> 00:03:32,540
That still your work?

28
00:03:33,610 --> 00:03:35,580
No. I'm a governess.

29
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,750
What's your name?

30
00:03:38,780 --> 00:03:40,080
Miss Denham.

31
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,080
"Miss"?

32
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:45,490
All right. Barbara Denham.

33
00:03:46,890 --> 00:03:48,290
I'm Ted Franklin.

34
00:03:50,090 --> 00:03:51,330
The name familiar to you?

35
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,090
Yes.

36
00:03:53,130 --> 00:03:56,260
I read your articles on
the North African campaign,

37
00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:58,730
and later your
dispatches on the Mau Mau

38
00:03:58,770 --> 00:04:01,040
uprising in Kenya
and what followed.

39
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,800
The trial of Sasha Ismail?

40
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,940
Sasha the Terrible.

41
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,780
"Sasha the Terrible".
He was nothing but a puppet.

42
00:04:07,810 --> 00:04:09,480
You still believe that?
Yes.

43
00:04:09,510 --> 00:04:12,810
Mr. Franklin has
many strange beliefs.

44
00:04:12,850 --> 00:04:15,080
Beliefs I'm going to prove.

45
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,050
If Sasha had been
an Englishman instead

46
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:19,090
of a half-caste
French Arab from Algeria,

47
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,420
he'd never have
been convicted.

48
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:22,060
You didn't say that
at the beginning of the trial.

49
00:04:22,060 --> 00:04:23,290
I didn't know then.

50
00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:26,330
I spent every day
in that courtroom.

51
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,560
Right from the start.

52
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,130
Crown Prosecutor
Sir Robert Walton
made his opening speech.

53
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,840
WALTON: ...and the Crown
will prove that Sasha Ismail,

54
00:04:37,870 --> 00:04:41,110
the defendant in the dock,
was not only a scavenger

55
00:04:41,140 --> 00:04:43,140
who robbed
the bodies of the dead

56
00:04:43,180 --> 00:04:45,380
of their weapons
on the battlefields

57
00:04:45,410 --> 00:04:48,180
but that he subsequently
made an evil career

58
00:04:48,220 --> 00:04:51,290
of illegally
trafficking in such weapons,

59
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,120
coming from Algeria to Kenya
for that sole purpose.

60
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,030
The crown will further
prove that he incited
the Kikuyu tribe to rebellion,

61
00:05:00,030 --> 00:05:02,500
bloodshed and mass murder,

62
00:05:02,530 --> 00:05:04,600
supplying them
with German, Italian,

63
00:05:04,630 --> 00:05:07,870
English and American
instruments of death.

64
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:11,510
And that he was
paid for his nefarious
activities in stolen diamonds,

65
00:05:13,170 --> 00:05:15,110
an inestimable
fortune of which only

66
00:05:15,140 --> 00:05:16,710
a small part has
been recovered.

67
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,050
For his infamous crimes
against all of humanity,

68
00:05:22,050 --> 00:05:25,420
the Crown will ask,
nay, demand,

69
00:05:25,450 --> 00:05:28,420
that Sasha Ismail be
made to forfeit his life.

70
00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:34,700
Of course I
assumed he was guilty.

71
00:05:34,730 --> 00:05:36,970
Sir Robert was
very convincing.

72
00:05:37,070 --> 00:05:38,830
You seem very
bitter about Sir Robert.

73
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:40,640
I have my reasons.

74
00:05:40,670 --> 00:05:42,240
Day after day I
sat there listening

75
00:05:42,270 --> 00:05:43,870
while he drew
the noose tighter

76
00:05:43,910 --> 00:05:45,110
and tighter
about Sasha's neck.

77
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,280
Witness after witness
told of loading crates

78
00:05:49,310 --> 00:05:52,510
or driving trucks
under Sasha's guidance.

79
00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:55,180
They told of night
trips into the countryside,

80
00:05:55,220 --> 00:05:57,720
the crates delivered
under cover of darkness,

81
00:05:57,750 --> 00:06:01,220
Sasha getting small
packages in payment.

82
00:06:01,260 --> 00:06:03,120
If they'd stopped the trial
and hung him
right then and there,

83
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,330
I wouldn't have
been surprised.

84
00:06:05,460 --> 00:06:07,330
The repetition
made me restless.

85
00:06:08,460 --> 00:06:10,400
Only one thing
drew my attention.

86
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,700
An old man in
the spectator's gallery.

87
00:06:15,170 --> 00:06:16,600
He occupied
the same seat every day.

88
00:06:17,740 --> 00:06:19,140
I took to watching him.

89
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:22,310
He must have
become aware of it,

90
00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:24,180
because our
eyes began to meet.

91
00:06:30,420 --> 00:06:32,890
Then, one day after
the court adjourned,

92
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,360
I was a little
slow in getting out,
and I saw him waiting for me.

93
00:06:42,130 --> 00:06:43,770
He's not guilty.

94
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,930
I'm afraid you're the only one
who feels that way.

95
00:06:45,970 --> 00:06:48,300
I know it.
I know it. He is my son.

96
00:06:49,070 --> 00:06:50,470
He is not guilty.

97
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,210
He asked me to see Sasha,
to talk to him.

98
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,180
Somehow, I couldn't refuse.

99
00:06:57,210 --> 00:06:59,650
I was
an accredited correspondent,

100
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,120
so I asked Sir
Robert's permission
for an interview.

101
00:07:02,150 --> 00:07:03,690
He didn't like the idea,

102
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,190
especially without an
armed guard in the room.

103
00:07:06,220 --> 00:07:07,760
But my wire service
was a powerful one.

104
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,660
Yes, Mr. Franklin,
I was arrested during

105
00:07:11,690 --> 00:07:13,700
the transfer of
a wooden crate to the Kikuyu.

106
00:07:15,130 --> 00:07:17,070
But I did not
know its contents

107
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:19,030
or that the receivers
were to be Mau Mau.

108
00:07:19,030 --> 00:07:22,040
And it was
the only such transfer
I ever made.

109
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,670
So far,
10 witnesses have testified
to other shipments.

110
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,510
I had one small
package of diamonds,
Mr. Franklin, one.

111
00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:33,210
Did they find any
others in the hovel
that was my home?

112
00:07:33,250 --> 00:07:35,920
Does a man with
a fortune live as a pauper?

113
00:07:35,950 --> 00:07:38,790
They have dressed me
well for the trial.
I was arrested in rags.

114
00:07:38,820 --> 00:07:40,590
The witnesses tell
the same story you're

115
00:07:40,620 --> 00:07:42,490
telling,
but with you as the leader.

116
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,360
And there must be a leader,
mustn't there?

117
00:07:45,390 --> 00:07:47,160
One master criminal
to be hanged while

118
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,130
they get off with
a few years in jail.

119
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,800
Why should they point to you
if another man hired them?

120
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:56,070
Perhaps because
another man with a fortune

121
00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:58,370
in diamonds could
offer them security?

122
00:08:00,310 --> 00:08:02,280
You have heard
the prosecution, Mr. Franklin.

123
00:08:02,310 --> 00:08:04,550
Have you once heard
the name Arthur Smith?

124
00:08:04,580 --> 00:08:05,750
No.

125
00:08:05,780 --> 00:08:07,650
Nor will you.

126
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,620
Because he is the man
for whom I must die,

127
00:08:10,650 --> 00:08:13,020
the man who hired
me for the errand
that brought me here.

128
00:08:13,020 --> 00:08:15,390
He hires a man in rags
to ride with
a truckload of guns

129
00:08:15,420 --> 00:08:16,760
and pick up
a payment in diamonds?

130
00:08:17,190 --> 00:08:18,460
Why?

131
00:08:19,690 --> 00:08:21,700
If he knew there was
going to be an arrest.

132
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,600
Wealth buys many things, Mr.
Franklin.

133
00:08:25,630 --> 00:08:30,110
Information.
False witnesses. Protection.

134
00:08:30,140 --> 00:08:31,670
Why didn't you
tell Sir Robert?

135
00:08:32,540 --> 00:08:33,580
I did.

136
00:08:35,710 --> 00:08:37,780
But I doubt if you
will find any mention
of it in my statements.

137
00:08:37,810 --> 00:08:39,750
And when I do
mention it in court,

138
00:08:39,780 --> 00:08:41,820
they will become indignant,
outraged.

139
00:08:41,850 --> 00:08:43,690
"Sasha The Terrible is
lying to save his life."

140
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,130
Could I have another
one of our cigarettes?

141
00:08:58,170 --> 00:09:01,770
Of course.
I'm glad they're your brand.

142
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,510
Thanks.

143
00:09:03,540 --> 00:09:05,670
Is that what
made your articles
change so radically?

144
00:09:05,710 --> 00:09:07,580
Sasha's story?

145
00:09:07,610 --> 00:09:09,840
No. I'm too good
a reporter for that.

146
00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:15,180
I asked Sir
Robert's permission

147
00:09:15,220 --> 00:09:17,520
to examine
the pre-trial statements.

148
00:09:17,550 --> 00:09:21,290
He refused.
But I bribed a clerk
and got them anyway.

149
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,060
Arthur Smith's
name never appeared.

150
00:09:23,090 --> 00:09:25,360
Sasha might have lied to you.

151
00:09:25,390 --> 00:09:27,230
You must have
missed my second article.

152
00:09:27,260 --> 00:09:29,500
Oh, yes. The diamond.

153
00:09:29,530 --> 00:09:32,170
One uncut stone worth $1000

154
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,500
left in my hotel
room with a note saying
there'd be a similar diamond

155
00:09:35,540 --> 00:09:39,710
every night until
Sasha's execution if I would
"see things clearly."

156
00:09:39,740 --> 00:09:40,540
(SIGHS)

157
00:09:41,140 --> 00:09:43,380
That convinced me.

158
00:09:43,410 --> 00:09:46,080
Your articles were
not without effect.
They aroused a lot of people.

159
00:09:46,110 --> 00:09:47,820
Why not?

160
00:09:47,850 --> 00:09:50,820
Sasha became a symbol
of injustice and persecution.

161
00:09:50,850 --> 00:09:51,920
People don't like that.

162
00:09:53,050 --> 00:09:54,360
Sir Robert didn't either.

163
00:09:55,420 --> 00:09:57,860
I couldn't be bribed.

164
00:09:57,890 --> 00:10:00,230
Killing me would
have been further proof
of Sasha's story.

165
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,230
So he did the next best thing.

166
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:07,340
On the day he was to conclude
for the prosecution
he sent for me.

167
00:10:07,370 --> 00:10:09,870
The manager of
my European bureau
was in from Paris.

168
00:10:12,110 --> 00:10:13,170
Now, calm down, Franklin.

169
00:10:13,210 --> 00:10:14,980
When a man's going to die?

170
00:10:15,010 --> 00:10:17,510
You have stirred up
an international storm.

171
00:10:17,550 --> 00:10:19,310
If it's in the interest
of truth, it's all right.

172
00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:21,250
But there's one
thing I don't like.

173
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,020
Not one other correspondent
has followed your lead.

174
00:10:24,050 --> 00:10:25,950
Because they
were denied access
to Sasha and the records!

175
00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:27,820
WALTON: That's not true.
It is true!

176
00:10:27,860 --> 00:10:29,920
Several of them
interviewed Sasha
days before you did.

177
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,130
I granted your
request immediately,

178
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,930
just as I made
available all records.

179
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,460
You did not!

180
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:38,700
Franklin,
I've spoken with the others.

181
00:10:38,730 --> 00:10:42,170
They did see Sasha,
but he never
mentioned Arthur Smith.

182
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,140
How do you account for that?

183
00:10:44,170 --> 00:10:48,040
Maybe they don't
have my immunity
to uncut diamonds.

184
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,980
The prosecutor,
the court, the witnesses,
and now the correspondents.

185
00:10:52,010 --> 00:10:55,220
All liars. All but you.

186
00:10:55,250 --> 00:10:56,450
You're fired, Franklin.

187
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,720
(SIGHS)

188
00:10:57,750 --> 00:11:00,220
You, too, huh?

189
00:11:00,260 --> 00:11:03,590
There is a man
from immigration
waiting outside, Mr. Franklin.

190
00:11:03,630 --> 00:11:05,330
You will leave
Kenya on the noon plane.

191
00:11:10,900 --> 00:11:14,440
That was it. I was deported.
A month later,
Sasha was hanged.

192
00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:16,300
What have you done since?

193
00:11:16,340 --> 00:11:20,740
Roamed around.
Europe, Australia, Africa.
Looking.

194
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,350
For Arthur Smith?

195
00:11:23,380 --> 00:11:26,650
Yes. I followed rumors, tips,
anything
involving uncut diamonds.

196
00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:30,650
Did Sasha ever
describe the man to you?

197
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:34,690
Yes.
Dark complexioned. Stocky.

198
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,730
Neck like a bull. Not British.

199
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,530
That description
could fit your companion.

200
00:11:41,430 --> 00:11:42,800
Yes. It could, couldn't it?

201
00:12:02,820 --> 00:12:04,050
Oh, thanks.

202
00:12:05,150 --> 00:12:08,090
You're a very
surprising man, Mr. Franklin.

203
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,620
Well,
the story isn't over yet.

204
00:12:10,830 --> 00:12:12,290
The part that
brought us together.

205
00:12:14,460 --> 00:12:16,430
That started in Cairo,
just a week ago today.

206
00:12:16,460 --> 00:12:18,130
You were there?

207
00:12:18,170 --> 00:12:20,440
Still searching
for Arthur Smith?

208
00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:24,070
Yes. But it was
a wild-goose chase,
like a hundred before it.

209
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:32,180
I should have been
used to it by then,
but I was depressed. I walked.

210
00:12:32,210 --> 00:12:35,920
I found myself
on a side street.

211
00:12:35,950 --> 00:12:39,520
Odd little shops,
art galleries, antiques.

212
00:12:39,550 --> 00:12:41,990
Something in the window
of one of them caught my eye.

213
00:12:43,290 --> 00:12:46,330
An ancient
Egyptian luck token.

214
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,130
Well, I guess I needed luck.
I went in.

215
00:12:56,170 --> 00:12:59,240
The proprietor
didn't seem to be there.

216
00:12:59,270 --> 00:13:00,610
But he was.

217
00:13:10,650 --> 00:13:11,950
Excuse me.

218
00:13:15,260 --> 00:13:16,690
Abdul Ismail.

219
00:13:19,690 --> 00:13:20,700
What do you want?

220
00:13:20,730 --> 00:13:21,630
Don't you remember me?

221
00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:23,060
Ted Franklin.

222
00:13:25,330 --> 00:13:26,740
I remember you.

223
00:13:28,370 --> 00:13:29,770
You killed my son.

224
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,310
(BREATHING HEAVILY)

225
00:13:31,340 --> 00:13:33,610
You sold his life as
you would sell the life

226
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,280
of an animal in
the marketplace.

227
00:13:36,310 --> 00:13:38,680
I was the only friend
he had in the world.

228
00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:40,180
I tried to save him.

229
00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:42,680
Until the price
was high enough.

230
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,090
Until enough
diamonds were offered.

231
00:13:45,090 --> 00:13:48,290
I'm broke.
I haven't had a job since.

232
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,760
I've done nothing but search
for Arthur Smith.

233
00:13:50,790 --> 00:13:53,660
Why?
Were you not paid in full?

234
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:54,960
(ABDUL SIGHING)

235
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,100
I lost my only son, Mr.
Franklin.

236
00:13:59,330 --> 00:14:00,370
My only son.

237
00:14:04,170 --> 00:14:06,240
Are you the only
son of your father?

238
00:14:07,780 --> 00:14:09,340
I pray that you are.

239
00:14:10,750 --> 00:14:12,880
Then I might
believe in justice again.

240
00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:39,740
You ran away?

241
00:14:39,770 --> 00:14:42,680
Yes.
I caught the first plane out.
To Johannesburg.

242
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,520
He must have been insane.
I had to kill him.
It was self-defense.

243
00:14:47,550 --> 00:14:49,180
Well, running didn't help.

244
00:14:49,220 --> 00:14:52,120
No, but I remembered
what happened to Sasha.

245
00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:53,460
And you met him
in Johannesburg?

246
00:14:53,490 --> 00:14:54,960
Yes.

247
00:14:54,990 --> 00:14:56,860
Will he testify for you?

248
00:14:57,230 --> 00:14:58,230
Hardly.

249
00:14:59,430 --> 00:15:01,030
I'm afraid I've
been a little unfair.

250
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,530
Dramatic effect, I guess.
Or perhaps I've

251
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:06,370
developed
a warped sense of humor.

252
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,040
His name isn't Arthur Smith.
It's Kafir.

253
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,280
Inspector Kafir of
the Cairo police.

254
00:15:17,310 --> 00:15:18,780
I see.

255
00:15:18,810 --> 00:15:20,720
They had my description.

256
00:15:20,750 --> 00:15:23,450
Newspapermen can't hide.
Too many other
newspapermen know them.

257
00:15:25,890 --> 00:15:29,460
Well, do I rate
another one of our cigarettes
after that?

258
00:15:29,490 --> 00:15:30,790
Of course.

259
00:15:33,230 --> 00:15:34,830
I'm afraid I have
a confession, too.

260
00:15:36,130 --> 00:15:38,670
I said I was a governess.

261
00:15:38,700 --> 00:15:40,300
My employer is
Sir Robert Walton.

262
00:15:40,340 --> 00:15:42,100
(SIGHING)

263
00:15:42,140 --> 00:15:43,840
I hope you do a better
job with his children.

264
00:15:46,740 --> 00:15:48,710
Sir Robert wasn't present,
of course,

265
00:15:48,740 --> 00:15:50,110
but he had quite
a different theory

266
00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:51,810
about your
interview with Sasha.

267
00:15:51,850 --> 00:15:54,680
I'll bet he did.
He's a clever man.

268
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,150
Shrewd,
unscrupulous and clever.

269
00:15:57,190 --> 00:16:00,190
Strange.
Those are the very words
he used about you.

270
00:16:01,590 --> 00:16:03,460
He said that your
demand for an interview

271
00:16:03,490 --> 00:16:06,460
without
the presence of a guard
was unusual.

272
00:16:06,490 --> 00:16:08,930
But he granted it out
of respect for
your reputation.

273
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,540
I will tell you what I
have told the others.
I have nothing to say.

274
00:16:14,570 --> 00:16:16,240
You're going to hang.
You know that, don't you?

275
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,540
I can prevent it.

276
00:16:18,570 --> 00:16:19,770
A journalist?

277
00:16:19,810 --> 00:16:21,310
Listen to him, my son.

278
00:16:21,340 --> 00:16:23,040
What can he do in
the face of such evidence?

279
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,880
Use it to save your neck.

280
00:16:27,650 --> 00:16:30,050
You've been smart, in spots.

281
00:16:30,050 --> 00:16:32,690
Being dressed in
rags when you were

282
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,790
caught. Living in a hovel.
That's good.

283
00:16:35,820 --> 00:16:39,060
But you've been stupid, too.
Hiring so many drivers.

284
00:16:39,060 --> 00:16:40,800
One driver would have known.

285
00:16:40,830 --> 00:16:42,830
Would have given
them one witness to use
against you instead of ten.

286
00:16:44,170 --> 00:16:46,430
Very well, Mr. Franklin.
You've made your point.

287
00:16:46,470 --> 00:16:48,770
I can regret my
error while I hang.

288
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,070
What would it
be worth to serve
a short jail term instead?

289
00:16:55,580 --> 00:16:56,850
And who arranges this?

290
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:57,950
FRANKLIN: I do.

291
00:16:59,180 --> 00:17:00,720
For what price?

292
00:17:00,750 --> 00:17:01,880
An even half of the loot.

293
00:17:03,220 --> 00:17:04,790
Does he know where
the diamonds are?

294
00:17:04,820 --> 00:17:06,050
Only I know,

295
00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:09,020
until after I am sentenced.

296
00:17:16,260 --> 00:17:18,030
I'll need one
diamond in advance.

297
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:21,400
A reward for wasting my time?

298
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:24,240
Do you want to die?

299
00:17:25,810 --> 00:17:26,840
No.

300
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,040
No, I do not.

301
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:32,710
But how can you save me?

302
00:17:32,750 --> 00:17:33,920
With a typewriter.

303
00:17:36,050 --> 00:17:37,520
The story of my life?

304
00:17:37,550 --> 00:17:39,550
Not your life.

305
00:17:39,590 --> 00:17:42,960
The life of the mysterious,
unseen,
untouchable Arthur Smith.

306
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,760
Who is Arthur Smith?

307
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,900
The man who hired you
on the streets of Nairobi

308
00:17:48,930 --> 00:17:51,200
to make the one
delivery of arms
that led to your arrest.

309
00:17:52,770 --> 00:17:56,240
The man who
committed the crimes
for which you stand accused.

310
00:17:56,270 --> 00:17:58,740
The man you told
Sir Robert about
in your statements.

311
00:17:58,770 --> 00:18:00,310
But they have records.

312
00:18:00,340 --> 00:18:02,280
They didn't put
it in the records.
They ignored it.

313
00:18:02,310 --> 00:18:03,140
Why?

314
00:18:05,150 --> 00:18:07,350
The witnesses identify me.

315
00:18:07,380 --> 00:18:10,390
That's
the beauty of it, Sasha.
You're so guilty.

316
00:18:10,420 --> 00:18:13,520
A master criminal
would create some doubt,

317
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,020
or maneuver a victim
like you into his place.

318
00:18:19,790 --> 00:18:23,370
I am grateful for
a friend who will prevent
such an injustice.

319
00:18:24,930 --> 00:18:26,330
You'd better be.

320
00:18:28,300 --> 00:18:30,110
That was Sir Robert's version.

321
00:18:30,140 --> 00:18:31,870
Your editor seemed to agree.

322
00:18:32,540 --> 00:18:33,440
Do you?

323
00:18:34,510 --> 00:18:36,580
I wasn't there.

324
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:38,680
That's what I've
been getting for years.

325
00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:40,820
"I don't know.
I wasn't there."

326
00:18:40,850 --> 00:18:42,620
Isn't your own
knowledge enough?

327
00:18:42,650 --> 00:18:46,090
Yes! But my own
life is at stake now.

328
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:48,290
You know what
they'll say about
Abdul's death, don't you?

329
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,160
I think so.

330
00:18:50,190 --> 00:18:51,860
They'll say that
you were searching

331
00:18:51,890 --> 00:18:54,300
for him,
rather than for Arthur Smith.

332
00:18:54,330 --> 00:18:57,270
A search that ended
when you traced him
to Cairo and entered his shop,

333
00:18:59,830 --> 00:19:01,700
to kill him.

334
00:19:01,740 --> 00:19:03,910
And they'll be
speaking the truth, you know.

335
00:19:04,010 --> 00:19:06,640
You did set out
to murder Abdul.

336
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,110
Sir Robert Walton will
prove this at your trial

337
00:19:09,140 --> 00:19:11,910
when he tells
the story of what really
happened that day in Cairo.

338
00:19:28,230 --> 00:19:30,030
You haven't been
easy to find, Abdul.

339
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:35,040
You have been seeking me?

340
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,940
Yes, I've been seeking you.

341
00:19:39,140 --> 00:19:40,740
I want my half.

342
00:19:40,780 --> 00:19:41,580
Half?

343
00:19:42,540 --> 00:19:44,410
What half?

344
00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:46,310
Half of the diamonds.

345
00:19:46,350 --> 00:19:48,280
I don't know where they are.

346
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:53,620
You're wasting my time.

347
00:19:53,660 --> 00:19:55,620
I don't know.

348
00:19:55,660 --> 00:19:59,060
After the trial I
never saw Sasha alone.
He could not tell me.

349
00:20:00,830 --> 00:20:03,060
You're wasting my time, Abdul.

350
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:06,740
What are diamonds?
I lost my son.

351
00:20:06,770 --> 00:20:10,770
I don't care about your son.
But you're going to
join him unless you talk.

352
00:20:10,810 --> 00:20:11,970
(SIGHING)

353
00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:13,380
Come on, Abdul!

354
00:20:13,410 --> 00:20:14,710
No, no, no.

355
00:20:14,740 --> 00:20:16,040
Right now.

356
00:20:18,780 --> 00:20:19,450
I will get them.

357
00:20:48,510 --> 00:20:50,480
That's what
they'll claim, isn't it?

358
00:20:50,510 --> 00:20:53,450
Sure. With Sir
Robert leading the pack.

359
00:20:55,420 --> 00:20:56,720
Got another cigarette?

360
00:20:59,020 --> 00:21:00,460
These are
the last until Cairo.

361
00:21:02,460 --> 00:21:04,230
I'm going to
beat them, though.

362
00:21:05,390 --> 00:21:07,400
I've got them
stumped on one thing.

363
00:21:10,430 --> 00:21:11,970
One beautiful thing.

364
00:21:12,070 --> 00:21:14,100
What?

365
00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:17,170
The knife and
the gun were German
war weapons, weren't they?

366
00:21:17,210 --> 00:21:20,180
That's what Sir
Robert hanged Sasha
for dealing in.

367
00:21:20,210 --> 00:21:22,880
So, who'd own them?

368
00:21:22,910 --> 00:21:27,380
Me? Or the father of
Sasha the Terrible?

369
00:21:27,420 --> 00:21:30,190
The newspaper said the gun
and the knife were
of special design,

370
00:21:30,220 --> 00:21:31,950
issued only to Nazi Generals.

371
00:21:31,990 --> 00:21:33,660
So?

372
00:21:33,690 --> 00:21:36,490
The set in question belonged
to General von Kronk.

373
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,330
He was killed al El Alamein.

374
00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:40,100
Yes, I know he was.

375
00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:42,800
I told you I
was a nurse's aid.

376
00:21:42,830 --> 00:21:45,270
I met a Lieutenant
at the hospital base
after El Alamein.

377
00:21:46,670 --> 00:21:47,670
We fell in love.

378
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,110
He might have
lived but the doctors
had so little to make do with.

379
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,240
We had nothing to
give each other.

380
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,110
But he managed
a gift of cigarettes
for me the day before he died.

381
00:22:00,750 --> 00:22:02,680
That's why I'm going
to Cairo to testify.

382
00:22:04,450 --> 00:22:08,490
You see, during the campaign,
he captured von
Kronk's gun and knife.

383
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,090
He traded them
with an American war

384
00:22:11,130 --> 00:22:13,130
correspondent for two
cartons of cigarettes.

385
00:22:15,060 --> 00:22:16,300
Your brand.

386
00:22:32,810 --> 00:22:35,120
I shall certainly
never try that again.

387
00:22:35,150 --> 00:22:37,790
I learnt too late
that it was a three-stage

388
00:22:37,820 --> 00:22:41,360
carpet and I was
the first stage.

389
00:22:41,390 --> 00:22:44,960
I did manage to
take some pictures
which I shall show you now.

390
00:22:44,990 --> 00:22:48,530
Here is how the Earth people
look to a Martian.

391
00:22:50,730 --> 00:22:53,670
As you can see,
the Martians have a rather

392
00:22:53,700 --> 00:22:56,470
distorted
picture of our world.

393
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,540
It looks as though
our flying carpet
is falling Earthward

394
00:23:01,580 --> 00:23:04,610
and disintegrating
into throw rugs.

395
00:23:04,650 --> 00:23:08,180
This concludes
tonight's space adventure.

396
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:10,120
Next week we shall be back
with more fiction,

397
00:23:10,750 --> 00:23:13,190
scientific or otherwise.

398
00:23:13,220 --> 00:23:16,520
Until then,
good night and a happy

399
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,060
international geophysical
year to all of you.
