H If my party will kindly glance to the right,

Part of the Arabian desert through which we are now passing

was once, according to tradition, the Garden of Eden.

Away to our left is the ancient city of Babylon

which is unfortunately not on our route today,

though Spindle's run regular tours there from Baghdad every Monday,

visiting also the remains of "the supposed ""Tower of Babel"","

weather permitting,

which is approximately the same distance from Babylon as Hampstead is from London,

though of course in Hampstead there's no tower.

Any questions?

What's happened, Hassan?

The petrol tank, he split himself.

Petrol, he run away.

All gone.

You mean we've got to stay here, in the desert?

All night? Disgraceful management!

Please. The fault's not mine, I assure you.

We've just run out of petrol, but he'll get some as soon as possible.

Hey. Hey, Caldicott!

Hmm?

What's the matter?

Are we there?

Good Lord, no. The bastard's run out of juice.

- But that's absurd, Charters, Budapest. #NAME?

You told us this trip was only going to take a day.

Oh I say, old chap, I can't be blamed!

Probably cause a rift between Edith and myself, that's all.

She's been waiting in Budapest thinking I'm on my way, and I'll be sitting

sitting on my... In a char-�-banc.

It's fantastic.

My dear fellow...

All night in the desert. No bed, no bath. Sleeping with people

we've never been introduced to.

You've placed us in a very, very disagreeable position.

Look, what's all this?

I think they're coming this way.

#NAME? #NAME?

I once read a book about a girl who fell in love with a sheek.

Shake. That's the correct pronunciation, old man.

"It's sheek in ""Sheik of Araby."""

Comic song is hardly a criterion.

Oh, I say, nice horse he's got there.

Good Lord, he's making straight for us.

Do you know any Arabic, Charters?

No I do not, this is a bit awkward.

Good afternoon.

My name is Charters. You wish, to me, to speak?

Yes. I am the Sheik Abdul Ramla.

I came over to see if I could be of any help, but... oh, I think I know that tie!

You see, I too went to Marlebury.

You mean, you're an old Marleburian?

Oh, but that'll be a little before your time.

Yes, I was 1912. I say, this is astonishing, isn't it?

Oh, I beg your pardon. This is Caldicott, my friend.

Tasharufna.

Yes, rather. Yes, he was at Roughton.

Oh really? Oh, we had that annual cricket fixture with Roughton.

I kept wicket for the First 11.

Oh, did you know, he was Roughton's demon bowler.

What are you doing here, has your bus broken down?

Yes, it looks as if we're going to be here for the night.

Oh, that's awful. I ought to be able to help.

Look, I'm pitching camp close by here for the night. Would you two care to

join me at dinner?

I should be charmed. What about you Caldicott?

Delighted.

Very well then. Shall we say 9 o'clock, in my tent?

#NAME? #NAME?

Now I'd better see if I can arrange accommodation for the rest of your party.

So for the moment, masa' lamah

- Goodbye, old man. #NAME?

- Charming fellow, isn't he? - I say, Charters.

#NAME? #NAME?

#NAME? - We haven't got dinner jackets.

- Oh, Lord no.

Oh well, after all we should look rather silly, shouldn't we?

Sitting on cushions in a tent in evening dress?

Well, the natives might expect it.

Caldicott, you've got it all wrong old man.

Well, not at all. You were out of tune.

Now surely Ramla and I know the Marlebury song better than you.

Perhaps if my musicians were to accompany us, Mr. Caldicott would find it easier.

What?

Do they know it?

Of course. I taught it to them myself.

? Illustrious, the story Of Marlebury's glory ?

? With pride we toast Our learned host ?

? That time can never sever Our destiny shall find us ?

? From lineage behind us Let faith and courage bind us ?

? Fraternally forever ?

What memories that brings back.

I shall never forget singing it the day we beat Harrow.

Close finish, wasn't it?

Oh, I say, Caldicott, talking of Lord's, we shan't be in time.

Are you returning to England?

Yes, we promised ourselves we'd see the last Test match.

As a matter of fact this breakdown has messed up our arrangements.

I was going to meet my fianc�e.

Yes, he was meeting his fianc�e. My sister, you know.

Caldicott's engaged to her.

Oh, really?

I must congratulate you, Caldicott.

Thanks.

Yes, heaven knows when I shall see her again, now.

I think I can get you back to Baghdad by tomorrow evening.

#NAME? - Really, Ramla?

Of course. I hadn't realised that you were in such a hurry.

I'll lend you two of my fastest camels.

Camels?

Do you mean... Oh, I see.

- You're quite used to camels of course, Charters. - Oh yes. Yes. What do you say, Caldicott?

Oh, yes. Fine. Marvellous.

#NAME? - Yes, certainly.

I say, I can't think why you said you'd ever ridden a camel before.

That was strictly true. I have ridden a camel.

#NAME? #NAME?

#NAME? #NAME?

Hardly an experience of much benefit now.

I'm so sorry. We have to be on the alert and ready to deal with any emergency.

Yes, I suppose these tribesman fellows are a pretty wild lot.

Oh, no. Your real Arab is alright. And loyal to your country.

But there is some foreign power working in their ranks,

trying to make trouble. Particularly in the oil fields.

- Oil fields, eh? #NAME?

Guarding the pipeline is our great difficulty.

Until we can find out who is responsible for the unrest, things won't be easy.

But I should not be worrying you with all this.

I have arranged beds for you and one of my men will call you in the morning.

#NAME? - Yes, that's very good of you.

I hope we're not putting you to too much inconvenience.

Not in the least. If one old Marleburian can't help another old Marleburian...

Yes, I see what you mean. Marlebury forever, eh Caldicott?

Absolutely, old boy.

As an old Roughtonian I salute you, Marlebury.

Oh, don't take any notice, old man.

How do they expect us to get a ride up there?

I don't know. I hope we're not making ourselves look very ridiculous.

Especially in front of the servants.

Here, give me a hand.

Oh, this is impossible.

You know Caldicott, I can't help thinking if we had one camel with two humps,

instead of two with one, it'd be easier.

Of course, the whole trouble is that the thing's too steep.

If it was a two-humper, we could sit between the humps.

Well, there'd hardly be room for both of us, would there?

I don't know. If not, one of us could sit on the hump, the other in between.

Then, every so often, we could stop the camel and change places.

#NAME? #NAME?

Stop the camel.

I suppose they... stop of their own accord.

Supposing they don't?

In that case, you tire the blighter out.

It would look rather ridiculous to go cantering into Baghdad,

and out at the other end.

Yes, well let's concentrate on getting to Baghdad,

we'll never catch that...

You just going?

Well, yes. We will be, as soon as we get on.

Do say if you'd rather go by the coach. It's all ready, we managed to get it fixed up for you.

Well that's absolutely marvellous, my dear fellow.

Rather, Caldicott wasn't very keen on the camel.

Don't be ridiculous.

Well then you'd better hurry, the others are waiting.

Pity, I was getting quite fond of that camel.

Next train leaves at five to 12, so we've got an hour or so to kill.

#NAME? - I'm a bit hungry, too.

#NAME? - I don't know. Ooh!

What about that?

Looks a bit continental, doesn't it?

I expect it's one of those places where there are lots of dancing girls.

- Oh, do you think so? - Oh, yes. Look, it says:

La Palermo, in the Dance of the Owl.

The only owl dance in the world.

Owl dance?

I believe there used to be a girl who did a dance with a swan.

I expect it's much the same thing, except this is an owl.

Curious.

Although I don't suppose there'll be much on anywhere else.

Don't suppose there's much on here, either.

Come on, let's get a ticket.

Good evening, sir. Table for one?

#NAME? Herr Rossenger.

He expect me.

Herr Rossenger... This is your first visit to Baghdad?

Yes, but I have a plan that will break the record.

Record... I understand. This way.

Ah, it is you, Ali.

You got my message?

Ja. You are worrying without cause. You may go back to your master,

and tell him he may trust the word of Charmin.

Abdul Mumraib is most anxious, Herr Rossenger, that no breath of suspicion shall attach to him.

His help in this matter is involve a very big risk.

The sheik Ramla is a friend of the British government.

#NAME? - Hmm, and what about the rest of us?

But friend Ragov, my master does not like taking risks.

Half the money he spend in Berlin, he invests in British 3.5 percents,

in case anything should go wrong.

He may rest assured that nothing will.

In an hour, the information will be on its way to K-7.

I shall wait here until I know that.

As you wish. Two agents with American passports will arrive from Germany tonight.

#NAME? - And when they leave,

#NAME? #NAME?

Apparently, just an ordinary gramophone record.

Actually, it contains a summary of the report you brought from Abdul Mamraib.

They will come here to your office to collect it?

I dare not take that chance. Baghdad is full of British and French agents.

They are watching all the night haunts. Including this.

#NAME? #NAME?

- La Palermo, the dancer? #NAME?

She, too, works for the Fatherland.

She's very friendly with a number of British and French officers in the city.

I see.

Ragov. Find out if those two agents have arrived yet.

Herr Rossenger. If they do not come here to collect the record,

how will you receive it?

At end of La Palermo's act, it is usual for a little Turkish girl

to move among the guests selling records of her song.

#NAME? agents? - Ja. They will leave Baghdad at once,

and the record will be in the hands of K-7, very soon.

How will she know they are the right men? How will you know?

A very simple and effective signal, Ali. They will order certain dishes from the menu.

#NAME? #NAME?

Have you forgotten I'm traveling tonight?

Ah, La Palermo.

- You need money, huh? #NAME?

I have hotel bills, wine bills, dress bills... How do you think I pay them?

Ja. I think this will cover it.

This is Ali. You know I told you of him.

- No sign of the agents yet, Herr Rossenger? - No. They're late.

They must have been delayed. I will tell Ragov to put La Palermo over to the second half.

And why must I play in the second half?

You're passing over information to German agents during your act.

Always business is interfering with my act. It is impossible, I tell you.

How can I think of my unveiling and serve the F�hrer at the same time?

Bit raff this, isn't it?

Oriental architecture, you know?

Good evening, gentlemen.

#NAME? #NAME?

Would you care to leave your hats? #NAME?

Straight down the stairs, gentlemen.

I don't suppose we shall see those hats again.

You're developing a very suspicious mind.

I say, do you think it's alright?

Looks pretty good to me.

Good evening, gentlemen.

Oh, good evening.

#NAME? - Yes, for two please.

Certainly sir. This way, if you please.

Sure you wouldn't like to be nearer?

Positive.

I don't wish to appear Victorian, but is that the sort of display

you'd like to bring Edith to?

But we haven't brought Edith.

True, Caldicott, but after all you're engaged to her.

And what is more, Charters, it would never occur to me to bring Edith to a show like this.

But you don't understand. I was only pointing out...

Here you are, gentlemen. The menu.

- Ooh, thank you. #NAME?

It appears to be a mix of French and Arabic.

Well, speaking for myself, I prefer something they can't translate into Arabic.

In that case, what about soup?

Good idea, order it.

Potage celery, please waiter.

Uh, same here please.

Yes sir. And to follow?

Oh, here's something I had last time I was in New York.

#NAME? By all means.

Two pullet Maryland, please waiter.

Pullet Maryland...

Yes. That's alright isn't it?

Oh, yes sir. Anything else?

Got a wine list?

Yes, sir. Here it is.

- Thank you. - I'll leave the choice of wines to you, Charters.

I think that's more up your street.

Up my vineyard, you mean.

Yes, good one.

Oh I say, here's a bit of luck. Here's one I can vouch for.

I sampled a bottle only last summer with old Fruity Watkinson.

Yes, you remember old...

Caldicott!

I do wish you'd pay attention.

If you can tear your eyes away for just one moment.

Well it just occurred to me that it's supposed to represent a harem.

I was about to order wine.

Well, splendid. Go ahead.

Alright then.

A bottle of 14... Lafite Rothschild 1929.

What's the matter?

Uh, nothing sir. Lafite Rothschild, 1929.

Yes, that's what I said.

A very excellent wine, sir.

I could have sworn that waiter gave me a sort of wink.

Probably had something in his eye.

Place's full of untidy eaters.

- Herr Rossenger! #NAME?

They are here, the two agents.

- You hear that, Ali? #NAME?

I have just taken their order. First, potage celery.

Second, pullet Maryland.

Third, Lafite Rothschild 1929.

#NAME? #NAME?

Now, serve them like any ordinary guests. What is their table number?

#NAME? #NAME?

- Well, that's that. - Good. Now you'll be able to get on with your soup.

I was merely allowing it time to cool off.

This is the turn we saw advertised, old man.

So I gathered.

? There's no need for lovely phrases Of sweet delight ?

? There's no need of speeches Coming from you ?

? All the words are there Revealed in those big, brown eyes ?

? Giving away your thoughts Telling me all ?

? You don't have to tell me It's written in your eyes ?

? Every time you look At me ?

? Something seems to tell me You're oh so very wise ?

? Every time you look At me ?

? Seems that will and wooing Would appeal to you ?

? Now I think you would like to ?

? You don't have to tell me It's written in your eyes ?

? Every time you look At me ?

I say, she's a stunning looker, old boy.

Hardly my type.

Comparitively well-dressed by local standards, though.

Did you notice she's that she's accidentally dropped one of her veils?

- I don't think it was an accident, old man. - What?

Record of La Palermo?

Good evening, gentlemen. Would you like to buy a record?

Well no, thanks, we're just going.

Well, how much are they?

250.

You don't want one of those things, old man.

I think you do, sir.

Well I certainly don't.

Well, it might be fun to have one as a souvenir.

Thank you.

Remind you of the glad eye she gave you, I suppose.

I think that's very uncalled-for.

As a matter of fact, I thought it might appeal to Edith.

I can't imagine anything less likely to appeal to Edith.

Oh come on, old boy, come on. Drink up, we shall miss the train.

Come on, hurry up. We wasted enough time on that frontier holdup.

Let's get the goods and scram out of here.

Okay. Do you want to leave this here?

What do you think we're standing here looking at you for, buddy?

The fun of the thing? Oh, come on, speed it up. We're in a hurry.

Two hats, and get me a taxi.

Taxi, five minutes sir.

Don't you realise we've got to catch the train to Istanbul?

Hey, what is all this?

I call for taxi.

You'll get us our check, we're in a hurry.

So are we, we've got a train to catch.

Ah, nuts. Come on.

Those guys are screwy.

Americans, I presume.

Good evening, gentlemen. #NAME?

A table for two, sir?

#NAME? #NAME?

Here you are, sir.

#NAME? - Oh, yeah. Fine, yeah.

Can I take your order now?

#NAME? #NAME?

We'll start right away with two plates of potage celery.

Followed by pullet Maryland, and a bottle of Ch�teau Lafite Rothschild 1929.

What's wrong, feeling sick?

Please... E-excuse, I... I'll be back in a moment.

Herr Rossenger!

Well, what is it?

There is something wrong! Two more men have arrived,

this minute. And they've ordered potage celery, pullet Maryland, and Lafite Rothschild 1929.

The first two. Where are they?

Gone. Just.

Hello. Hello, vestibule.

Vestibule, quickly, please!

Hello, vestibule. Two men, one with a moustache,

have just left the restaurant. Will you stop them, please?

What? No, no, no, no. In which direction did they go?

What? Alright.

Right, thank you.

They've gone to catch the 12-5 train for Istanbul.

We've got to move quickly.

My master will kill me if we do not get the record back.

We've got to get to Istanbul before them.

I will contact K-7. He will have everything arranged.

Now, Ragov, find out what time the first plane leaves.

Tell La Palermo she must hurry.

Hello? Hello.

Well, here we are old man. Istanbul, the gateway to the East.

On your guard, old man. One of those Spindle's guides' got his eye on us. Keep him off.

Or we shall be on another char-�-banc tour.

Too late. He's bearing down on us.

Good morning, gentlemen. You're traveling with Spindle's Tours?

- No, we are not. - We've had quite enough of Spindle's.

Yes, one of your char-�-bancs broke down in the desert, and we were in it.

Oh, it is my duty to make up for this unfortunate accident.

- I'm afraid... - If you're looking for a first-class hotel,

undoubtedly the best in Istanbul is the Hotel Hamilton.

#NAME? - The rooms are most comfortable,

and the cooking is excellent.

The cooking's good, eh?

The Hamilton is as English as the best London Hotel.

Well, what do you think, Caldicott?

Well, I leave it entirely to you.

Well, it's only for one night. The Budapest train leaves in the morning.

#NAME? The hotel car is here, sir.

This way.

I've lost him. Where is he?

Well, did it work?

Perfectly. The two Englishmen are on their way here now.

By a somewhat roundabout route.

Ah, there is no hurry.

- All is ready. - Directly they arrive, we must kill them.

No. No-one is to raise a finger against them.

But you don't understand...

Ali, it is you who do not understand. Tell him, Klacken.

You no doubt think this is an ordinary hotel, but you are wrong.

What? This is not a hotel?

It's a private villa on the shores of the Bosporus.

It belongs to our chief, K-7. It is used by him, when necessary,

for transacting special business.

I see. Staff?

Oh, have no fear. Staff are agents, like ourselves.

And there is the most beautiful one of all.

Will you please tell me what I have to do?

Herr Klacken. This is La Palerma.

She will sing with the orchestra. The Englishmen will recognise her,

and I have an idea it will put them at their ease.

And for how long must I do that?

You need only wait until we have disposed of them.

Then you can leave for Budapest.

I cannot see the reason for all this. You should have killed them on the train.

You could have caught it up at Aleppo and boarded it there.

I've said it too. In the train, you throw a body out the window, it is gone.

Here, if you throw a body out the window, in the morning it is still there.

But you're mistaken, my friend. The bodies will not be there.

What will you do with them?

Just this: in the days of the Sultan Ibrahim, certain suites overhung the Bosporus.

When he grew tired of his wives, he tied them in sacks and pushed them

out the door. A sheer drop. And they were swirled away in the Bosporus,

and no-one ever heard of them again.

Do you know any more amusing stories?

I like it, go on.

That's all. Except that the Englishmen will occupy one of those suites tonight.

"And in it is a door marked ""Bathroom""." But there is no bathroom.

There is nothing. Only the Bosporus.

The reception is on the left, gentlemen.

- Good afternoon, gentlemen. #NAME?

CHARTERS: I want two single rooms for one night, how much is that please?

- With bathrooms, sir? - Well, naturally.

350 piastres each.

Join the orchestra. Sing something light and tuneful.

Something in keeping with the occasion?

#NAME? #NAME?

I will telephone the chambermaid to draw your baths right away.

Very obliging girl, that.

Trifle anxious for us to bath ourselves, I thought.

Natural enough. Probably a feature of the place.

- I say, do you see who that is?

Yes, it's, it's La... La thingamie.

? And there's something that I'm hoping You will say ?

? Tell me you care And say I can share ?

? One night of heaven With you ?

? My heart's on fire My only desire ?

? One night of heaven With you ?

? You're so disarming And utterly charming ?

? And there's a feeling in my heart That's so alarming ?

? Darling I'd give a year ?

? For this souvenir One night of heaven ?

? With you ?

Very attractive girl, you know.

Try to remember that you're still engaged to Edith.

Yes. I supposed I ought to send Edith a telegram to say we shan't be there 'til tomorrow.

Oh, good Lord, yes, yes. Well you'll probably be able to send one from here. Go and ask.

Can I send a telegram from here, please?

Yes sir, of course. I take it down for you.

Thank you very much.

Edith Charters.

All looks very nice.

Not bad at all.

What about meeting in half an hour's time, in the lounge?

Alright, you have first bath.

No no, you have first.

That's alright, I can wait.

Alright, no good arguing about it. See you in half an hour's time.

Go and stand by the river. If there is any chance of the bodies being discovered,

you know what to do.

Yes?

Listen to me.

Are you listening?

Hello? Who is this?

Get out of your hotel at once. You and your friend. You hear me?

Get out. If you stay, you'll...

Hello? Hello?

Extraordinary thing.

Get out of the hotel? That's absurd.

We've only just come in.

I say, Caldicott?

Good Lord, what the...?

Caldicott!

Caldicott, how deep is it?

Hold on, Caldicott, I'm going to dive in!

Hold on, Caldicott!

Hold on to what, old man?

Good God... Caldicott, it's you.

Well, of course it's me. Always has been, as far as I know.

Y-y-you're... you're alright.

Yes. What's happened, you're as white as a sheet?

It wasn't you.

#NAME? #NAME?

Y-you were standing in the doorway, and I slapped you on the back.

I bey your pardon?

- I-i-it wasn't you, then. #NAME?

Well, the chap I tapped on the back, he fell in!

#NAME? - Shh!

In here.

My goodness! There's no floor.

That's what I mean. A trick of some sort.

Just a sheer drop. What's down there?

Water. Sh! Can't you hear it?

#NAME? - Well that's very dangerous.

- I might have stepped in there, and... - I know!

"I know. And it's labeled ""Bathroom""."

Well, that's ridiculous. "It should be labeled ""Bosporus""."

Well, what is it?

- This is terrible, they've killed Ali! - What?!

The men have just got his body out of the water.

Why, the fool! What are we to say to K-7?

We must act quickly! Get everybody.

Don't answer it!

#NAME? - Can't you get them?

No, no replies. All right just now.

Ooh, that reminds me. The most extraordinary thing.

#NAME? - Yes, that's why I was looking for you.

#NAME? #NAME?

#NAME? #NAME?

Well, it was a woman. An English woman.

She told me to get out of the hotel.

#NAME? - I don't know.

#NAME? #NAME?

- Well that's what I thought. - You know, Charters, this is a very peculiar hotel.

Yes, it's a very inefficient one, too.

- I don't like it. - I'm not struck on it myself.

- Well, what about hopping out and going to another place?

- I'm all for it. #NAME?

After all, there are limits.

#NAME? #NAME?

#NAME? #NAME?

#NAME? #NAME?

No-one at the desk.

Doesn't seem to be a soul in the place.

All this is very mysterious. Why did you order us to leave so suddenly?

Because everything has gone wrong! Quick, here they come. Get in!

Come on, can't you walk a bit faster, old man?

Doesn't seem to be a taxi anywhere.

You know, I've been thinking about that extraordinary business of

the man in the bath... um, the Bosporus room.

- I can't make that out at all. #NAME?

- You don't think we ought to tell the police... - No. I might have to appear in court.

#NAME? #NAME?

That's impossible. I mean, we've got a pact with Turkey.

That doesn't give me diplomatic immunity, old man.

Besides, think of Edith. She'll be worried to death.

#NAME? match. - Ooh, no. Mustn't miss that.

Well it's no use standing here talking. I don't like this place. Lets get on, to Budapest.

But the train doesn't leave until tomorrow morning.

We'll take a plane. There's a regular service, I know, it says so in my guide book.

Alright, anything to get out of this place.

Ah, here's a taxi!

Airport, please.

I still cannot understand what happened.

Ali was impatient to get that record. The fool, he went up to their room too early.

Well, he has paid for his foolishness.

What do you mean?

Ali is dead. Drowned. They killed him, Ada.

We're dealing with desperate men.

I'm glad it is you that have to tell K-7, and not I.

I will handle it, alright.

- When's the next plane to Budapest? - Very soon, sir. Have you much luggage?

No, only these four cases. Lucky we sent that other luggage on, Charters.

Will you go up to the desk, sir, and take your tickets?

- There's just time to have your luggage examined. - Thank you. First bit of luck we've had so far.

#NAME? - Ah, that makes matters easier.

But when we get to Budapest, how shall we find them?

- Ah, the telegram! #NAME?

Ja, the one they handed to Irma.

Here it is.

Hotel Magyar.

We, too, will stay at the Hotel Magyar.

But I'm due to appear at the Montana.

Oh, that does not matter. We depend on you now.

I shall telephone to K-7. He will be less displeased,

now that things can be settled without further trouble.

In Budapest, he can arrange a plan for himself.

Now you go and order a special plane. We can overtake them, if necessary.

Good evening, gentlemen. Welcome to the Hotel Magyar.

#NAME? #NAME?

Yes, we want two single rooms please.

Yes. With bathrooms?

Have they got baths in them?

But of course. I will give you two splendid rooms, with balconies.

If you would care to register.

Rooms 47 and 48, sir.

My name's Charters. I believe my sister may have arrived.

I do not recollect the name. One moment.

Is there a Miss Charters staying in the hotel?

No, sir. No, sir.

Well after all, we did say tomorrow in the telegram, didn't we?

Yes, that's right old boy. Well, I think I'm going straight off to bed.

Suits me.

- Will you be dining, gentlemen? - No, thanks, no.

We'll go right up to our rooms. I really must have some sleep.

I feel as if I've been up for weeks.

Good evening sir, good evening madam.

Ja. You have some rooms reserved for us. Name of Rossenger.

Ah, yes of course. Rooms 46 and 49.

Will you register, please?

- Yes, madam? #NAME?

This way please, madam. Shall I take your bag and coat?

#NAME? - Thank you, madam

- Good evening, madam. #NAME?

At your service, madam.

I am Miss Edith Charters. Can you tell me if my brother is staying here with a Mr. Caldicott?

Yes, madam. They are in 47 and 48. They enquired for you when they arrived.

#NAME? #NAME?

#NAME? #NAME?

- Yes, madam. - I wish to speak to Mr. Charters at once.

Ring Mr. Charters' room.

If you please, madam.

Room 48, please.

Here you are, madam.

Thank you.

Hello.

No doubt you've forgotten my existence, but this is Edith.

Oh! Hello, Edy, old girl, so you've arrived eh?

I arrived in Budapest 6 hours ago.

Since when I've been dragging myself around all the hotels in the city,

enquiring for you and Sinclair. It is now 10 o'clock at night,

and I find that you have quite typically retired to bed.

Oh. Didn't you get our telegram?

I received nothing. When I got here, I thought that at least you would have

sent a message to Spindle's office.

But we sent a telegram from Istanbul!

Hawtrey, get out of bed. I must see you immediately.

Wait a minute. I'm on a...

Everything quite clear, Ada?

The Englishman's room is just across the balcony.

Ja. There are no lights. They must have gone out.

Now is our chance. You've got to act quickly.

The record will most likely be in one of the suitcases.

#NAME? - Ja, I will wait. Now, be careful.

What's that?

Good Lor'. La thingamie!

I'm so sorry. It's the wrong room, I... I must have made a mistake.

Mistake? Heh. I like that!

You can't come charging into a man's room and pinch his record.

- Let go! - I don't want to hurt you, but this is my room.

If you don't let go, I shall bit you!

Unless I can get a satisfactory explanation, I shall telephone the manager.

- But I've done nothing, I tell you... #NAME?

Good heavens!

Well, hello Edith.

This is a surprise, I didn't know you'd got here.

Obviously.

This is my fianc�e, Miss Charters.

La... La Thingamiebob, she... she dances with an owl.

- Caldicott, really! - I think I know now,

why I never received that telegram.

- Oh, Edith, you don't understand. #NAME?

But Edith, you must listen to me.

Bad as it looks, Edith, it's probably only an infatuation.

- It's nothing of the sort! I was lying... - I don't doubt that.

- I was lying there and she came in... - Kindly spare my sister the sordid details.

Quite. Perhaps you will take me to my room at once, Hawtrey.

I find the atmosphere here utterly nauseating.

- Very well, Edith. - I must confess,

I'm not altogether surprised at this. I'd always suspected there was a shoddy

streak in Sinclair's character.

Listen, wait a minute!

You'll hear more of this later, Caldicott.

This is dreadful.

Look here, you must explain...

Where is she?

La Thing? Miss... Miss Whatsit?

Well? What happened?

- Where's the record? - I didn't get it. He was there all the time,

#NAME? #NAME?

Yes, but luckily some horse-faced woman came in and I got away.

Did he recognise you?

Yes. He said he was going to call the manager.

We must leave this hotel at once.

We daren't risk any problem with the police.

But what about the record?

Oh, I hate to think what K-7 will say to this.

But we must go! Come along.

Manager.

Ooh, come in.

J� est�t k�v�nok! I understand you rang for me, Mr. Caldicott.

Yes. Look here, it may be an extraordinary thing to ask, but could you tell me

who occupies the room next door?

Have they been annoying you, sir?

Yes. Uh... and no.

Let me see...

Your next-door neighbour is rather a big man,

with a small moustache. "I think his name is ""Charters."""

No, no, no, not him, no. He's my friend.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

As a matter of fact, this is a lady.

#NAME? #NAME?

If it would help at all, "she goes under the name of ""La Palermo,"""

but that might not be her real name.

No, sir. Perhaps if you could describe her,

and the clothes she wears, I might be able to help.

It's rather difficult to say, I've very rarely seen her with any clothes on.

Oh... uh, you see.

#NAME? #NAME?

What I mean is, she's on the stage. Sings, and dances, that sort of thing.

Oh, artisto. Then perhaps if you can describe

her face to me.

Well I've hardly noticed... of course she has a face. Uh, and eyes.

Green eyes, I think they are. Two of them.

And, uh, long hair. Well, not very long, but you know, comes down,

that way. And a wide throat. Very nice throat, and she sings

out of... uh, through it. Comes right out... ooh.

Hello, Charters.

Well then, manager, you'll try and trace this woman?

I will sir, immediately, j� est k�v�nok.

What's he want?

I'm trying to find out some more about La Palermo.

I should have thought that superfluous.

Edith sends her ring back.

She's um... calling it off?

Absolutely. She says she's gratuful for one thing,

she found out in time. Personally, I don't blame her.

It's not playing the game, Caldicott. I can't put it stronger than that.

I think you're behaving in a most unbearable manner.

I wake up, I find La Palermo haring about the bedroom...

You don't expect me to believe a story like that.

I'm going to get this matter put straight if we have to stay in Budapest until...

Well, until we miss the Test match.

Pardon. There is no-one called La Palermo staying at this hotel,

but I have just discovered there is a lady of that name appearing at

the Montana Cabaret tonight.

Ah, that's her. There's no doubt about it. Thank you very much.

I'm going to find this woman, Charters.

If you take my advice, you won't go near her.

I've taken your advice often enough. That woman has got to be made to

explain to Edith. Go on, get dressed. We're going to the Montana.

Well, Ada, the Montana is full tonight.

Naturally. When I appear, every place is full.

Oh, the vanity of this artist. Well, it is nearly 12 o'clock.

Would you like a little drink before you appear?

No, thank you, but I think you should have one.

Yes, you're right. I hesitate to tell K-7 we have not succeeded

in getting the record.

And what do you think he will say?

as a great achievement.

It's all very well for K-7 to give these mysterious instructions,

but why doesn't he...

They are here! In the restaurant!

#NAME? - The Englishmen!

#NAME? - I don't think so.

Why have they come here?

Why, it is obvious. They caught you in the act of stealing the record,

they followed you here to find out some more about you.

- I'd not thought of that.

If we had set a trap, it could not have been better planned.

What will you do?

A few drops of something in their drinks, that is all that is necessary.

The head waiter will receive his orders.

Ah, good evening, gentlemen. Table for two, sir?

We want to see La Palermo.

Ah, you will want a front table, sir.

No, we don't. No, no thanks old man.

We don't want to see her perform, we want to see her privately.

But I'm afraid that is not possible, you see, the cabaret is about to begin.

Well perhaps in that case, you can give her a note after the show.

With pleasure, sir. May I take you to a table?

#NAME? #NAME?

? Gone Gypsy lover ?

? Gone from me Gone like a broken melody ?

? Music playing A gypsy dance around the fire ?

? Bodies swaying In every glance a wild desire ?

? What care I Though you're gone ?

? Flashing eyes around me Gay love is mine tonight ?

? Gone, gypsy lover Far away ?

? Gone Leaving me an empty day ?

? Gypsy music will help forget a breaking heart Happy laughter, can I forget you played a part? ?

? Where are you Romani? ?

? Play the music On with the dance ?

You know...

watching her it's hard to believe she's a thief.

She's warming up for the takeoff, old man.

Your whiskeys, gentlemen.

ADA: Don't touch that whiskey. It's poisoned.

Is alright, is alright.

Ladies and gentlemen, it was only the switch.

La Palermo, she will start again.

I say, old man, look at this.

#NAME? #NAME?

It was put into my hand when the lights went out.

Read it.

Yes, well...

I think we might as well be going now.

We'd look very silly. We've only just come in.

I think you must be careful.

What do you mean?

They did not touch their drinks.

#NAME? #NAME?

Who could have told them?

Everything is going wrong!

See. They're leaving.

I do not understand it.

These people have their spies everywhere.

So have we, haven't we?

They are making absolute fools of us! They did not touch their drinks.

There was nothing wrong with the lights. Someone must have switched them off.

What am I going to say to K-7?

Perhaps Klacken has got the record? He could have had time.

Ali was quite right We ought to have killed them on the train.

You know, I'm not sure that we're not making awful fools of ourselves.

What do you mean?

Well, dashing away from that place just because someone put a note in our hand

about a gramophone record.

Got a key? Yes.

In my pocket. What are we whispering for?

Shh!

Open the door quietly. There might be someone inside.

What's that?

He's gone.

The record! I think that's gone too.

Wait a minute. After La Whatsit disappeared,

what did I do with it?

How should I know?

I've got it! I put it down somewhere.

But where?

I know! On a seat, in the bathroom.

Well, it must be there still.

It is. I say, that's a bit of luck.

Let's have a look at it.

Looks like an ordinary record to me.

- Let's try it. - I don't see the use of playing it.

After all, the label speaks for itself.

Every Time You Look at Me, sung by La Palermo.

But the note said it was terribly important.

#NAME? - Why not? Don't you realise,

if all this is true, it means someone's attempting to take our lives?

- Well that's absurd. - Well anyway, let's try the record.

? There's no need for lovely phrases... ?

Just La Palermo, singing.

#NAME? #NAME?

She's got a very nice voice, I think.

#NAME? - It's German!

I only know three words of German. "Heil, ""swastika"" and ""ersatz""."

That's practically all I know myself, old man.

Sounds to me as if he's saying there are no more territorial claims in Europe.

We'd better find out what it's all about. Turn it on slowly.

We'll have to pick out what we can.

Well, what do you make of all that?

Well, my German's apparently not as good as I thought it was.

"I know what ""achtung"" at the beginning" means, though.

Yes, I saw it once on a gate. Achtung der hund.

Beware of the dog, in English.

What a peculiar thing to say.

Then there was some reference to a fellow called Abdul Memrim.

Yes, I gathered that.

"I also recognised the word ""oil""."

#NAME? #NAME?

Well, I mean, there are all kinds of oil.

Just oil. Then something about a pipeline, and a lot of ammunition.

#NAME? - Mm. One thing emerges,

whatever it is, it's highly important.

From your translation, that's absolutely clear.

Oh, by the way, didn't that note say something about

being at St. Joseph's Baths at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning?

Well I suppose we'd better go and see what it's all about.

Yes, you're probably right.

In the meantime, I shall hide that record where nobody can find it.

I say, Charters, look at that girl the other side.

Wonderful figure.

Not to be compared with Edith's, of course.

Made a bit of a splash.

Oh, I wouldn't say that. She's a very good swimmer.

Good heavens, I bel... well, it can't be.

- Yes it is! #NAME?

It's La Whatsit.

There's something behind this, you know.

#NAME? - What I mean... La Palermo,

she... she's shadowing us to find out where... where we left that record.

Well it's quite obvious we haven't got it on us now.

Shh! She's climbing up, be careful.

Good morning. Good morning.

Is this chair free?

Yes, rather. Sit down.

#NAME? - As a matter of fact,

we were just going. Come on, Caldicott.

I think you'd better stay.

Sit down.

Do you remember the voice in the dark last night?

"Don't drink that whiskey. It's poisoned."

#NAME? #NAME?

And on the telephone in Istanbul.

- That was you, too? #NAME?

Well, that's astounding.

I'm sorry if I've been a nuisance, but it was necessary.

You see, I'm working for the British Secret Service.

See, Caldicott. That explains all this funny business.

#NAME? - And we're mixed up in it?

#NAME? #NAME?

Well, because of the gramophone record. It contains the details

of a sabotage scheme in the Middle East. Where is it now?

- Charters, where is it? - Ah, I've hidden it in a very cunning place,

in the hotel.

Will you two do something for me?

- Yes, rather. - Hey, wait a minute. What is it?

I want you to take the record to The Traveller's Club in the Joenstra�e

and ask for a Captain Spanswick.

Spanswick? I say, not E.J.K. Spanswick?

Who used to play cricket for Gloucester?

#NAME? - Good gracious, well. Yes, well, yes.

He's been sent by the British intelligence to collect the record and take in back to London.

#NAME? #NAME?

You simply have to say that a Miss Deering sent you.

- What do you say, Charters? - Well, I...

That's all you have to do. Deliver it, then you can go on with your holiday in peace.

- Well, in that case. #NAME?

I knew you'd help me. Captain Spanswick will be at The Traveller's Club at one o'clock.

#NAME? - Yes. You're to go right away.

Good bye, and thank you.

Are you certain you remember where you put the record?

- Yes, I found a perfect place. #NAME?

Amongst the other records, in the dining room.

But you'll never find it!

Oh, I know exactly where it is, old man.

- 15th from the end. - ? There's no need... ?

Charters, do you hear that?

- It's her song. - Her voice, too.

- It's the record! - Quick, before it gets to the German stuff!

? Giving away your heart Telling me all ?

Caldicott!

I've got it! I've got it, Caldicott!

This is it, old man. Well, what do we do

#NAME? - Give him the record, I suppose.

Well I do think we ought to be extremely guarded.

In here, gentlemen.

- Oh, uh, Captain Spanswick? #NAME?

- My name's Charters. - I'm Caldicott.

#NAME? #NAME?

How do you do?

We're friends of Miss Deering.

- So I understand. Sit down, would you? #NAME?

And how is Miss Deering?

Well, last time we saw her she was getting along... swimmingly.

If you follow our meaning.

I rather think I do.

You'll be glad to hear we have the consignment... of wax.

I beg your pardon?

The sample disc, for you to take to your firm.

- Oh, you mean that gramophone record? - Shh!

Somebody might hear.

No, we're alright here. Well, where is it?

Under Caldicott's coat. I suggest he slips it under his chair,

you can take it away when we've gone.

No point in being furtive. Someone always notices if you are. I'll take it now.

What, just... like that?

Why not?

Well, in that case...

...here you are.

Thanks, old man.

I don't mind tell you we're very glad to get it out of our hands.

Congratulations. You fellows have put up a jolly good show.

That's very nice of you to say so.

Well, we had to do our best, you know.

By the way, have you heard this record?

Yes. Yes, as a matter of fact, we have.

- Then you'll know its contents. - Well, more or less, you know,

#NAME? - It's in German.

#NAME? #NAME?

I gather it refers to some how-do-you-do in the Middle East.

- Oil, you know. - That's right, yes.

And I believe there's a dog in it somewhere, too.

Well, yes, possibly.

I'm leaving for England with this tonight.

Ooh, well then you'll be in time for the last West Indies Test match.

#NAME? - Yes. As a matter of fact,

you may not know it, but Charters and I are great admirers of yours.

We were in a stand at Lord's in 1929, when you played against Middlesex.

Middlesex?

Yes! You carried your bat for 75, including two magnficient swipes for six.

#NAME? back. - Yes. I don't suppose you remember that, though.

I'm afraid I don't follow.

- You are E.J.K., aren't you? #NAME?

Yes. Spanswick, the cricketer.

No.

#NAME? - I don't play cricket.

Excuse me sir, Mr. Charters, Mr. Caldicott?

- That's right. - You're wanted on the phone,

at once. An urgent call.

That's an extraordinary thing. Excuse us will you, Spanswick?

Certainly.

#NAME? - I don't know.

At the desk, sir. The receiver is off.

Hello? Yes? Who's there?

La Palermo. Miss Deering. Listen to me.

You must not meet Captain Spanswick. Do you understand?

But we've already met him.

Then leave quickly. Whatever you do, don't give him the record.

Well, I'm afraid he's already got it.

Listen to me. The man you've just met is an imposter.

Captain Spanswick's body was found in the Danube this morning.

Good heavens.

You must get that record back! You must! Do you understand?

Alright. We'll try. Hold on.

- What's all the fuss about. - Spanswick's dead.

He can't be, we've just seen him.

Spanswick's not Spanswick, he's a fraud.

Good Lord, I... I'll go and catch him.

La Deer... M-m-miss, miss Whatsit.

Listen, I can't hold on any longer. He's seen me. He's coming towards me.

Mr. Caldicott, they've caught me! Get that record back, whatever you do!

Hello? Hello?

Hello? Is that the operator?

I've been cut off. Can you trace that call?

I say, old boy. The fellow's gone. And the record.

- So's she, old man. #NAME?

La Deer, uh... Miss Palermo. It's most extraordinary.

Hello? Yes.

Where?

Oh. Thank you.

I say, that's very odd. She was phoning from a public call box

at the Central Station. And she suddenly "shouted, ""He's coming towards me,"""

screamed, and then cut off.

#NAME? her? - No.

But how could whoever it was be coming towards her in a telephone box?

It's beyond me.

First she says give the record to Spanswick,

then she says Spanswick's floating down the Danube.

Then she screams that someone's coming towards her and cuts off. Why?

Perhaps he pushed her against button B.

What are we going to do about it?

I tell you what. Let's go back to the hotel,

have a couple of drinks and talk it over.

That's a good idea, I could do with one. In fact, several.

Well, I feel better now.

Yes, now, let's review the situation.

Do you suppose it would be any good if we told our story to the British consul?

He'd never believe it.

We could leave out all the ridiculous bits.

Wouldn't be much left.

#NAME? - Excuse me, gentlemen.

A Miss Granowski is asking for you.

Granowski? Granowski... I don't know any Granowski, do you?

#NAME? - She is standing over there, sir.

Good afternoon. You wish to see us?

Mr. Charters? Caldicott?

- That's right. - I sell chocolate on the Central Station.

Oh. Very nice for you.

This afternoon, a lady, she lean out of the train window to buy

a packet of chocolate. And give me a hundred peng?,

with this note.

"Mssrs. Charters and Caldicott, Hotel Magyar."

Yes. Oh, well, thank you very much. Here, here's something for your trouble.

Oh, thank you!

Central Station? Must be from her, quick, open it.

It's La Palermo. W-w-w-with the owl.

Yes. Obviously taken at the end of her dance.

So I observed.

What does this mean? Schwarzov, Krimelberg, SOS.

SOS? Cry of distress, old man.

Yes, but Schwarzov, Krimelberg.

Probably some address she wants us to go to.

We'll ask at the desk.

- Oh, I say. - Yes, sir?

Do you know where the Schwarzov Krimelberg is?

Krimelberg? That is a town near the Hungarian border, sir.

#NAME? #NAME?

Perhaps the guide book will help you. I have one. One moment, please.

Say, I don't think we ought to do anything hasty.

I mean, we don't want to start out on a wild goose chase.

Not goose, old man, owl.

Here we are. Krimelberg, page 47.

Thanks. Let's see, ah, here we are.

Krimelberg... I say, Charters, here it is!

"- What? - ""On the summit of which is the" Schwarzov,

a 15th-century castle. Formerly "the residence of Count Hilongi."""

What time do the trains leave for Krimelberg?

I look them up.

EDITH: Sinclair? Hawtrey?

So, you're back.

- Hello, Edith. - Whenever I see you two lately,

you give me a hunted look, mumble a lot of balderdash,

and rush of like a couple of rabbits.

- Oh, really, Edith, I... #NAME?

to ask for an explanation. Supposing there is one.

Oh, yes. Yes, rather. Mm. There's an explanation, all right.

But just at the moment, we can't think what it is.

Sinclair, what's that photograph you're holding in your hand?

It's that woman, give it to me this minute.

I can't do that, Edith, because there's something written on the other side.

- I've no doubt. - I know it looks pretty bad, but...

It couldn't be worse, Hawtrey.

I shall speak to mother about you when I get back.

And as for you, Sinclair, I shall visit your grandfather

at Bishop's Stortford and lay the whole matter before him.

My good woman, what's his grandfather got to do with it?

Excuse me, gentlemen. There is a train leaving for Krimelberg in a quarter of an hour.

- What time's the next one? - Not until this evening, sir.

Well, we can't wait until then.

- 15 minutes, we can just make it. - Yes, of course we can.

Sinclair? Hawtrey, come back.

- Can't stop now, old girl. - We'll explain later.

You won't have the opportunity. After this, I'm returning to England at once.

At once, do you hear?

I'm sorry about all this, Ada, but you know you brought

it on yourself.

K-7 asked me to apologise for the iron bars on the window.

In the old days, this room used to be used as a prison cell.

In fact in the whole history of the castle,

no-one has ever succeeded in escaping this room.

In spite of that I find the room quite pleasant, Herr Rossenger.

Ja? Well, you'd better make the best of it.

They will not be so considerate in Berlin.

Berlin?

So that is where I'm being taken.

Ja. In the morning. Unless you reconsider your attitude.

You know, Ada, you are very foolish for refusing to answer K-7's questions.

I shall behave just as foolishly in Berlin.

Your obstinancy is absurd!

I myself saw you talking with those Englishmen at the baths.

#NAME? #NAME?

to take that gramophone record to Captain Spanswick?

That alone is conclusive proof that you are working with the British.

Now you're being absurd.

Is that a window that's open over there?

Well it looks li... looks... looks like it, yes.

I say, they're asking to be burgled, aren't they?

They're going to be. Come on.

La Palermo had better be here when we get inside.

I hope she realised what we're doing for her.

- Shh! Hear that? - ? There's no need for lovely phrases... ?

La Whatsits.

- ? There's no need of speeches... ? #NAME?

? All the words are there Revealed in those big, brown eyes ?

? Giving away your thoughts Telling me all ?

? You don't have to tell me It's written in your eyes ?

Shh! Listen. Something coming.

? ...at me ?

? Something seems to tell me You're oh so very wise ?

? Every time you look At me ?

Ah, good evening gentlemen.

Mr. Charters and Mr. Caldicott, I presume.

#NAME? - That's right.

Beg pardon for disturbing you, but I understood the two of you

were in here. And seeing your feet protruding from under the curtain,

I took the liberty of drawing them.

Oh.

Very kind of you.

You are a little later than we expected.

Yes. Uh, what? Ooh, well, you see, we were in the, uh...

and we thought we'd just pop in, and have a look around the castle.

- 15th century. #NAME?

Well I don't think there's anything to keep us any longer,

- is there, Charters?

- No, I... - Just a minute, sir.

I believe you are dining with my master.

Master?

#NAME? #NAME?

Yes, I'm very, very surprised. As a matter of fact,

I'm afraid we have another appointment.

I don't think you have, sir.

Ah. Good evening, gentlemen.

#NAME? #NAME?

Captain Spanswick, as no doubt you've learnt, is unfortunately dead.

I ventured to take his place when you came to The Traveler's Club.

Yes, and you took that record, too. What have you done with it?

And what have you done with Miss Thing?

She'll be here in a moment.

May I introduce myself? I am Max Bower.

I work quite hard for the German Intelligence Service.

I figure in their records, in the sensational way secret services have,

as K-7.

I always said we ought to have gone to the British Consul.

Look here. If you think we're going to stay here and have dinner with you,

- you're sadly mistaken. #NAME?

We're... leaving at once.

I don't think so, Mr. Caldicott. I don't think so.

In fact to be brutally frank, I'm very much afraid that neither

of you will leave here at all, ever.

Wh... what?

What, you mean we're going to be killed?

It is a political necessity.

That would be murder!

I regret the necessity almost as much as you do.

But uh, haven't you got hold of the wrong end of the stick?

#NAME? - Well we're, we're not British agents,

or anything like that.

Oh, quite. But you told me yourselves, at The Traveler's Club in Budapest,

that this gramophone record referred to a sabotage scheme of ours

in the Middle East. Not unconnected with oil.

#NAME? - We all make mistakes, you know.

Yes. Especially Charters, when he tries to translate German.

Rather. I hardly know that nein means 'yes'.

Indeed. Nevertheless, you will understand that we are not anxious for Britain to know

the details of our scheme. Especially with the attack on your pipeline timed

for midnight tomorrow.

#NAME? #NAME?

- So that's it. - Really, Mr. K... whatchacall.

I've seldom heard of a dirtier piece of work.

- Hear, hear. - Quite. But you see,

my difficulty. I dare not allow even a hint of our plans to leak out.

But, look here. Couldn't we be merely imprisoned until it's all over?

Being men of honor, you would no doubt attempt to escape.

#NAME? - After all, it's our pipeline.

Well there you are, gentlemen. You compel me to take care of you.

And now, do let us have dinner.

CHARTERS: I don't think I'm very hungry.

The food's poisoned, of course.

My dearest Caldicott. I assure you, you can eat without the slightest misgiving.

- Oh well, in that case... - After you, gentlemen.

You know, it is such a pity. You're very good fellows, I can see that.

That's very nice of you to say so.

I'm really sorry that all this has happened.

You can serve dinner right away.

A little more port, Charters. Oh, thank you.

Yes, it's a tragic business. There you both were, enjoying your holidays...

Oh, just a second, please. You mind if we stick to the present tense?

After all... we're still in it. Just.

I do beg your pardon. But through no fault of your own,

you stumbled into this affair, and... I find the whole thing very disturbing.

Well, so do we, as a matter of fact.

We understand your problem, though.

Please, do let's change the subject.

Yes. Excellent port you've got here.

We take a pride in our cellar.

Come in.

Ah, come in, both of you. I think you know these gentlemen, Rossenger.

Ja. I think I do.

And so, I believe, does Miss Deering.

Yes. I'm terribly sorry about this.

That's alright, you couldn't help it.

Miss Deering is leaving in the morning, for Berlin.

I say, you can't send her there.

An officer and a party of men will arrive here by plane during the night to collect her.

They will attend to you before they leave.

Oh. May I ask how? I mean, what method?

It is painful to me to discuss it, but I imagine they will shoot you in the courtyard.

Oh, not in the heart? Oh.

Well, gentlemen, perhaps you'd like to get a little sleep.

I've had my own room prepared for you.

- That's awfully decent of you. #NAME?

- Hogan, show these men to their room. - Yes sir. This way, gentlemen.

Well, Miss Deering. I supposed we'd better say goodbye.

I don't suppose you'll be getting up to, to, to... see us off.

- I can't tell you how I... - Please. I only wish I could help you,

that's all.

Same here.

Thank you. Goodbye, Mr. Caldicott.

Goodbye, Miss... Whatsit.

Funny sort of position to be in.

Yes. Funny sort of holiday.

Funny sort of business altogether.

#NAME? this. - Neither did I.

#NAME? this. - I don't suppose anyone will hear anything

about it ever again.

What's it say?

#NAME? - Caldicott!

We have a friend here who will try to substitute blanks for bullets...

Good heavens!

...but he may not succeed.

When shots are fired, fall at once. Wait two minutes, then go to the gate

in the west wall, it will be unlocked. Signed, D.

#NAME? - Yes! Miss Deering!

I say, Charters, this is wonderful.

Yes, but suppose this fellow doesn't put blanks in.

Well we... we still fall.

You will stand with your back to the wall.

Now, gentlemen. You may have the choice.

#NAME? #NAME?

Of bandage or no bandage.

- Oh, I see. #NAME?

No bandage.

Very good.

Well goodbye, old man. Just in case.

Goodbye, Caldicott.

And so matters will now go through as arranged, my dear Rossenger,

in spite of all your blunders.

Come in.

I have to report, sir, that the two prisoners have been executed,

according to your orders.

Good. You will proceed to collect the woman, Deering. She is in the east tower.

Very good, sir.

That friend must have managed to shove in those blanks.

Apparently. See anybody about?

#NAME? #NAME?

Yes. We better make for that gate in the west wall. Come on.

Ja. Dankeschon.

Well, Rossenger, that is that.

Ja. I admit I am not sorry.

True to type, these Britishers. They're really so stupid.

They fall for the simplest traps.

- Rossenger! It's gone! - What!?

The record! It was here last night!

- What's the matter? - The woman's room. It is empty.

#NAME? #NAME?

And, sir. The men we shot.

#NAME? #NAME?

That is not possible!

Impossible or not, it's happened. Get after them, Graus.

Hello. Hello? Tell Paul to bring the car out at once.

What's that?

What? Paul's gone? And the car?

We must hurry, there's no time to lose. We must get that message to

the Atwater before tonight.

Come on, step on it old man!

Well, we'll soon be there now, Miss Deering.

London at last, eh?

Too late for the West Indies Test match, though.

Well, we'll still be able to see them playing against Sussex, old man.

I expect the whole of the Foreign Office will be waiting to welcome you,

after all you've done for them.

Oh, we're not given recognition and we don't expect any.

Well, I think it's a shame, after all you've been through.

I don't know what I would have done without both of you.

I'd hardly go so far as to say that.

Well, it's just a little initiative, common sense, you know.

Well, um, I suppose your fianc�e will be waiting for you, Mr. Caldicott.

Oh, that's unlikely.

Highly unlikely.

Yes. Even if there's no official welcome, I suppose

there'll be somebody waiting for you.

Oh, that's even more unlikely.

Is it really? Well, if you're going to be all alone, I mean,

I'm not engaged or anything, and I thought, perhaps,

- we could, uh... #NAME?

Well, shall we?
