All language subtitles for Danger Man - Secret Agent S2E19 - Its Up to the Lady

Another big storm would
surely bring it down.

I simply don't have
the heart though

to do anything about it.

Please, may we get down, mommy?

Yes, darling.

Come here love, wipe him up.

Would you get the coats in the cupboard?

It's time you went to school.
-Yes mommy.

Oh and would you ask
Charles about the lawnmower?

Ever since it was serviced,
I've had trouble with it.

The wretched machine won't start.

Could it be the sparking plug thing?

Oh darling, it's not that serious, is it?

No, of course not.

I was just thinking about
a report I have to finish.

I have to be off.

All right, I'll get your coat.

Oh by the way the forecast says showers.

In that case I can be
certain of a good day.

Darling, you think you
have a moment to spare

for mother's lawnmower?

Yes, darling, certainly.

Early or late?

Oh I'm not quite sure.

Better say late.

Oh love, do light it.

I don't think I want it.

I'll see you off.

I'll get your briefcase.

Bye.

Goodbye.

Good morning, Mr. Glover.

Good morning, Claire.

How was the concert last night?

That's tonight, Mr. Glover.

Oh yes.

Claire, I must finish this
report for Mr. Bennett

and it will take almost all day

so see that I am not disturbed by anyone.

Would you like me to
switch your appointment

with Mr. Fox to this afternoon?

Oh yes, Mr. Fox.

No, ask him if he can
see me tomorrow morning.

Don't worry, I'll see
you are not disturbed.

Thank you, Claire.

Yes, but what about my holiday?

Three weeks, I was supposed
to have, not three days.

What's the matter with Pinder or Clay?

They're both on assignments.

Believe me Drake,
I didn't want to use you.

But you're the only man available.

Do you recognize him?

No.

That is Charles Glover.

Oh, Glover, the authority on China.

That's him.

I thought he was in the clear.

Well he's not.

What's he done?

He's defected.

Another one, eh?

Isn't this the man that Sir Alfred Wolland

has been hunting down on his witch's broom

for the last three months?

Yes, we've had him under surveillance.

Surveillance, yes, that's what you call

going through his papers,
having him watched,

having his phone tapped.

You sure you wouldn't like me to send down

something for you?

No thanks, I'm not hungry.

Where is he?

Where do I have to go?

Well that I don't know

but I do know where his wife is.

And you expect her to follow him?

Certainly, they were very close.

And she's probably as involved as he is.

She's bound to join him.

Hmm.

She leads me to him, and then
what am I supposed to do?

Hit him over the head, put him in a sack

and have him freighted
back to the foreign office?

You will persuade him to return.

Persuade him?

Ah yes, do come back to
the Old Country, Mr. Glover

and get yourself charged under
the official secrets act.

You can tell him he won't be charged.

You can tell him he has nothing to fear.

He'll be left entirely alone.

True or false?

True.

In the meantime, you can
concentrate on Mrs. Glover.

Mrs. Paula Glover of 52
Garnett Avenue, Highgate.

Oh yes, I knew it was getting him down.

But to go off like this
without saying a word

to you first.

Oh well, he needed time to think clearly,

to detach himself.

Now he's ready to discuss it all with me.

It's all so awfully worrying.

Oh, I know and I wouldn't
have told you about it

but for the children.

Now mother, stop worrying.

I'll only be away a week.

I made out a list for you.

It's all quite simple.

Did a big shop yesterday and all the basic

necessities are in.

I've got some lamb in the fridge for today

and there's plenty of potatoes.

The children can make do with frozen veg,

oh and mother, would
you find how to collect

Robert's shoes from the mender?

It's the shop on the corner

and I think there's one of
Charles' coats at the cleaners.

You better collect that,

he might need it when he comes back.

Do you think you'll be
able to cope, Diane?

I'm sorry to leave so much for you to do.

You know it's so difficult
having to rush away like this.

Now Drake, I want to know--

Just a moment.

I'm interfering with the
privacy of a citizen.

She'll be on her way anytime now.

Where?

She didn't say.

Athens.

Right, fix it.

Just the top two.

You'll have to make it quick.

Won't take a second.

Can I give you a hand?

No thanks.

That's it.

Well if you're quite finished

I'll be getting these along.

All right.

Thank you.

Any luck, Peter?

Ooh, bit of a job getting your ticket.

Plane's full.

She's traveling first,
I got you in tourist.

So you shouldn't have any
trouble keeping out of her way.

All right.

By the way, you better take this.

Might be useful.

Ah, would you be kind enough to bring up

three bottles of iced
lager and one glass please?

Yes sir.

Thank you.
-Thank you so much.

Come in.

Oh thank you, yes, that's fine.

Would you put it down over there please?

Thank you, that's all.

Oh, here you are.

I couldn't understand at all.

Why isn't my husband here?

I am sorry.

I know nothing about him.

I know nothing but what I have told you.

But will he be in Stratos tomorrow?

I know nothing more. Nothing!

Reception?

Hello, I'd like to go to Stratos, please.

Stratos, sir?

That's on the Albanian border.

Ah yes, what's it like?

It's a very desolate place, sir.

Any good hotels?

None, I'm afraid.

But there are hotels?

One, sir.

That simplifies things.

There is a flight tomorrow.

None this evening?

No, sir.

Any charter planes?

It would be most expensive, sir.

Ah, leave that to me.

I'll speak to the charter people myself.

All right sir, just hold
on, I'll put you through.

You should drink retsina.

It's good for everything.

For the heart, the bowels,
the lungs, the liver,

especially for the liver.

The more you drink, the
more healthy you will be.

I expect you are surprised at the strength

of my English, but you see,

I was very close friends with
the British colony in Cyprus.

Would you care for a glass of retsina?

No thank you.

The cowboy carries two guns,

I carry two packs of cards.

We could play gin rummy
for some small stake

to while away the time.

Say, 20 drachmas a game?

I'm reading.

Take a card.

I will show you a trick
that will astonish you.

Please, please, take a card.

No?

No.

Do you like the ladies?

I thought you understood English.

I love the ladies.

I love the ladies.

The married and the unmarried,

the widows and the --

I have a very beautiful friend.

Perhaps you'd like to meet her.

After all, you are on
holiday, are you not?

There's a word to describe you, you know?

Incorrigible?

Your English is good, I'll give you that.

Perhaps you would pay for my retsina?

Perhaps I would not.

Then perhaps you would
lend me 90 drachmas.

That's not retsina you're drinking,

it's liquid gold.

My name is Nikos and
I'm always short of money.

There is nothing I can
do about it whatsoever.

It just melts away.

I am overindulgent.

Ah look.

The ferry has transported
a jewel from Corfu.

She must be a countrywoman of yours.

One can tell by the complexion.

Is it true they have such
skin because it always rains?

That's a doubtful theory.

You must go to loannina

and visit the Citadel of Ali Pasha.

He was a great tyrant
in the time of Byron.

I'll remember that.

I wonder if I can be of assistance.

Mimiko here doesn't
have very much English.

Oh that's most kind of you.

I want to know if I can
have a bath straight away.

Unfortunately there's only a shower.

But I'll see what my
fractured Greek can do.

He says that the water is warm

which probably means it's tepid.

And he wants me to assure
you that the shower

is very clean and very efficient

and I can back up that statement.

That's most kind of you.

Not at all.

Are you staying long?

I don't know.

But you're certainly
staying tonight, aren't you?

Oh, tonight, yes certainly.

And you?

I'm here indefinitely.

As we're the only two English people

in the village this evening, I wondered --

Are you sure of that?

Yes, this is the only hotel.

Look, I don't wish to presume

but I'd be delighted if
you'd take an aperitif

with me before dinner.

Well, aren't there any more boats today?

No, not today.

Are you expecting someone?

No.

Then you'll join me?

I don't really feel like --

Please?

Well.

Say seven down here?

All right, seven.

Certainly there is nothing I can teach you

about the ladies.

I see that you are very sly indeed.

You know, Nikos, I'm getting the urge

to teach you a few manners.

You should not be jealous of me.

I have my little friend.

I must go and see her by the way.

Perhaps we can have another
lovely little chat later.

All right.

Much later.

If you're planning a tour, you must see

the Citadel of Ali Pasha.

I'm not really planning anything.

But you are on holiday?

Oh yes, yes I am.

And you?

I'm planning to live here
for a year or two at least.

Live here?

Yeah.

About 15 years ago I had the misfortune

to inherit a small sum of money.

Misfortune?

Yeah.

By the way my name is Edward Kimble.

Mine is Paula, Paula Glover.

How do you do?

How can an inheritance be a misfortune?

Well it's only that if
one's lazy and likes the sun.

But tell me about yourself.

What brings you here?

Oh, just needed a break.

What are these?

Oh they call them Mezes.

Look a bit like rubber.

They're octopus.

Octopus?

Go on, try one.

It's a bit chewy but quite tasty.

Goes awfully well with ouzo.

I've never been very keen
on snails and frogs legs,

things like that.

I'm not the adventurous kind.

Oh come now, you can't say that

when you're here on your own, can you?

Happy holiday.

What's the matter?

Oh nothing, I've just been under a lot

of strain in England.

That's why I had to get away for a break.

Hey look, let's talk about
something serious like dinner.

The restaurant next door
does a very good dish

of grilled barbounia.

What?

Barbounia.

Our old friend the Red Mullet.

It goes down very well here with a bottle

of chilled Marco.

Well I think you ought to know that --

You are not here to be
picked up by a pecunious

or impecunious adventurer.

It's a monstrous thought, cheers.

Hello.

Ah, very fine specimens.

Thank you very much.

Small for you, large for me.

Restaurant's just up here.

Not exactly inhibited, is he?

He's very handsome, he knows it.

Wasn't he sitting with you when I came in

to the hotel today?

Yes, he was trying to
prise a few drachma out of me.

Did he succeed?

No, but I don't imagine he was deterred.

What's the betting he
comes over and joins us?

Oh, it's too late, here he comes.

Get a laugh out of him anyway.

So we'll go no more a'roving,
so late into the night.

I greet you with the words of your famous

English poet who died here at Messolonghi.

Spectacular greeting.

My name is Nikos.

And he's always in need of money.

Yes, I am very unfortunate.

I must congratulate you on your English.

Thank you.

How do you do?

How do you do?

I do not disturb you, my friend?

Not at all.

On the contrary, you entertain us.

Does he not, Mrs. Glover?

Yes, yes of course.

Permit me to order a liqueur for you.

No thank you, we have some.

My fortunes are brighter this evening.

Oh, a windfall?

Windfall?

I have not heard this expression before.

Unexpected luck.

Something for nothing.

A windfall?

Yeah, I like the feel of this word.

Windfall.

I like the feel of everything tonight.

Perhaps it's the wine.

Ah yes.

When I drink wine, my heart is aflame.

You have not danced?

Having seen you, we wouldn't dare.

No, I'm very good, am I not?

Perhaps, if you have no objection,

the lady would do me the
honor of dancing with me?

It's entirely up to the lady.

Really, Nikos, it's most kind of you

but I am rather tired tonight.

Yes, I understand.

You have traveled, it's very exhausting.

Especially air travel.

The lady may not have come by air.

Oh but she did.

She arrived on a ferry
that leaves after the plane

arrives from Athens.

The luggage is marked Athens

and the lady is not bronzed

so she cannot have been
staying on Corfu, can she?

You the local detective?

No, you misunderstand.

I cannot bear the thought of discipline.

I am an anarchist.

Let me entertain you.

Here, take a card.

Please, take a card.

I will astonish you.

Very well, then astonish me.

You don't tell me what it is, huh?

Now, return the card to the pack

and shuffle the cards, yeah?

And put them down on the table.

Now, I will put my hand under the table

and attempt to draw the
card through into it.

May I see it?

Certainly.

Would you tell the gentleman
what was the card you picked?

Really, should I?

The ace of hearts, was it not?

Yes.

The ace of hearts it is.

Does that not astonish you?

Yes, that's very astonishing.

I'm sorry to have come
this way, Mrs. Glover.

We must hurry.

Hurry?

Where's my husband?

He's not far away, he's very close.

I went to Athens
to meet him, he wasn't there.

What is all of this?
What's happening?

Mrs. Glover, I have my instructions.

Instructions from whom?

Is he ill?

Is that why he hasn't come?

Please.

Let us go to the boat.

We can talk there.

Here, read this.

He doesn't say why I must go?

Oh he has good reasons.

He just couldn't get back today.

You better put on something warmer, eh,

it will not be too hot on the boat.

Oh yes, yes of course.

Will it take long?

Two hours, no more.

My boat does a good speed.

Have you seen my husband?

Yes.

Is he all right?

He's very well.

He wishes very much to see you.

I was right.

I knew I was right.

He has heard everything.

Stay here, I will be back.

But you must--

Stay here.

Kimble!

Good evening, Nikos.

You have a little engine
trouble, I'm afraid.

I preferred you as the foolish Englishman.

And you as the idiot Greek.

I intend to take this lady where

she wishes to go, Albania.

No doubt you do.

I will happily come to some arrangement.

Sorry, nothing doing.

Well, that's a pity.

Oh, without a silencer?

Oh Mrs. Glover would hate
to travel with a corpse.

I would not dream of subjecting her

to such an indignity.

There is the sea.

Ah yes, well you're too
late anyway, here she is.

Oh it's you.

I'm sorry Mrs. Glover but you can't take

that trip tonight.

So you did hear.

I suppose you supplement your income

by spying for the Foreign Office.

No I don't.

I just want to help.

Help me?

Your husband has no intention
of returning to England.

Did you know that?

My husband wants to see
me, that's all I know.

And what right have
you to try and stop me?

Where do you think
Nikos was gonna take you?

I'll tell you, Albania.

And once you cross that border,

you'll be on the way to China.

I don't believe you.

Why didn't your husband
meet you in Athens?

Why didn't he meet you here?

Nikos isn't a messenger boy, you know.

He's an agent working for the Albanians

and the Chinese.

They want your husband.

They want him for propaganda purposes.

They've probably been
trying to persuade him

to get out for weeks.

If this is true, who's to blame?

You are.

Spying on him day and night,

prying into his affairs.

Well his activities did leave
some small room for doubt.

Charles is innocent.

Oh he has his ideas, he tries
to do something about them.

Is that a crime?

No, of course not.

Mrs. Glover, I'm not trying
to make your life a misery,

it's just that I don't
think you fully realize

the sort of people he's dealing with.

What sort of people do you represent?

Well they take it a little more seriously.

Nikos tried to kill me just now

but that's beside the point.

The important question is,
do you want to live in China

and spend the rest of your life in exile?

No, no.

You have children at home?

Well they're our responsibility.

All the more reason why
they'll probably find it

difficult to forgive you.

There is a solution,
Mrs. Glover, if you'll help me.

It's not too late for
your husband to turn back.

The newspapers haven't
got hold of the story yet

so there's no harm done.

If they do get it, it'll
be a propaganda picnic

for the other side.

That's why we want him back right away.

Now, I'm asking you to
get him here, talk to him,

try to persuade him to go back now,

and he won't be prosecuted.

Whose word have we got for that?

I have authority to say it.

But will he be spied on,
treated like a criminal?

Will they leave him in peace?

He goes now, it'll be a mark in his favor.

Yes, I think they'll leave him alone.

He might not want to come here,

with you breathing down his neck.

He will if you refuse to go to him.

Suppose they don't let him come.

Well there's always that possibility.

But somehow I think they will.

They don't want to
antagonize him at this stage.

They feel pretty sure of him.

Any case, I don't think you've
got much choice, Mrs. Glover

unless you want to spend the
rest of your life in exile.

Come in.

If you are ready,
Mrs. Glover, the boat is--

Would you take this to him?

But you will be seeing
him yourself in two hours.

I'm not coming.

But what can I tell him?

How can I explain?

You won't have to, it's all in the letter.

Then he will lose you.

I've asked him to meet me here.

You could bring him.

Impossible.

He won't come back here.

He's safe now.

It would be better for you also.

I must talk to him.

Well, come then.

Afterwards, if you prefer to
come back, I will bring you.

I'd rather he came here.

You have listened too
much to that Englishman.

Have you told your husband about him?

I've told him what matters.

You know what will happen to your husband

if he is ever taken--

I don't know anything
until I've had a chance

to talk to him.

We may well decide to come back with you.

Please?

Poor lady.

You have been taken in by his lies.

The news is dull today.

You will buy me a drink?

How's the boat?

Oh shipshape.

That's how you say it?

You're all set to go then?

Yes, very soon.

After this drink.

Going on your own?

No, Mrs. Glover will accompany me.

Oh, that's surprising.

So perhaps now you
will leave her alone, eh?

Perhaps.

It's a pity things
have not worked out well

for you here.

Yes, pity.

Mrs. Glover will be
sorry to see you leave.

Why should I do that?

This trip must have
been expensive for you.

Perhaps I can help.

Swiss Francs, American Dollars.

She's not going with you.

Shall we say 5,000 American Dollars?

You know Nikos, there's a saying.

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.

This will end badly.

Who is it?

Kimble.

Come in.

I hope I'm doing the right thing.

He'll be back.

With Charles?

Lay odds on it.

Well, that's that.

Five hours to wait.

Get some fresh air,
it's a bit hot isn't it?

I'd rather wait.

Won't do yourself any
good moping about down here.

Mimiko's done me up some wine and chicken.

Let's get up in the mountains
for an hour or two, hmm?

Suppose Charles refuses?

Suppose he won't go back to London.

I hope he decides to go back.

For your sake?

What do you mean?

Presumably you've got
your promotion to think of.

No.

Funny.

I'd say you were a very ambitious man.

It's Marco, you liked it before.

Do you mind telling me
why you brought me here?

I thought it better for
you and Charles to meet here

away from Nikos.

In our own interest?

I think so, yes.

You mean you want to
talk to him on your own.

Ah, anything but.

I want the two of you to
meet without interference.

Well there's always my hotel room.

But of course we know how easy it is

to eavesdrop on that.

Well without the
eavesdropping, you'd be halfway

to China by now.

I think I better come back
to the village with you.

Enough people have taken
advantage of Charles already.

If you really want to help him,

you'll do as I ask.

Stay here.

Remember, he will have
been very persuasive.

He will have said anything
to convince your wife

that you must go back to England.

He is your fellow countryman, I know,

but he is your enemy.

I just want to see my wife.

Now which is her room?

I'll show you.

No I'll see her alone.

What's the number?

It's that room on the right there.

Thank you.

Is this Mrs. Glover's room?

It is.

Mr. Glover?

Yes.

Please come in.

Where's my wife?

All right, Mr. Glover,
I'll take you to her.

Hey look, I don't know
who you are but if you--

She's not far away, you've either
got to trust me

or you don't see her.

It's up to you.

I was doing what I thought was right.

Only a warped mind could imagine
that I was being disloyal

but they followed me,
they tapped my calls,

they opened my mail.

They never left me alone.

Do you want to live in
a country like that?

Why didn't you tell me you
never intended to go back?

I didn't have time to think.

I had to get away, they
were about to arrest me.

Now you've made up your mind?

Yes.

I see.

What about the children?

Well I thought my brother
could bring them out

when we got settled.

It's all quite simple, isn't it?

Darling, of course it isn't.

What you want is terribly important.

But well, I seem to have burnt my boats.

But you haven't.

Kimble says you can go back.

Kimble and Nikos.

You know, they're professionals

in a kind of chess game.

We're the pawns.

You and me and the children.

Well then think about the children.

I mean surely we should
give them the chance

to make their own decisions.

To grow up among their own people.

Not amongst strangers.

Kimble makes promises.

How do we know they'll be kept?

Oh we don't I suppose, but,

I have a feeling, I believe him.

Isn't that what you want to believe?

I don't know.

Oh Charles, I don't know.

Nikos.

We can leave when you like.

Nikos.

I'm not coming with you.

Don't tell me you have
listened to this man.

That's not why I changed my mind.

He makes you promises.

Kimble did not make my decision for me.

I made it.

I'm sorry if it makes
things difficult for you.

My friend, don't worry about me.

He has told you there
won't be any trouble, huh?

An Englishman's word.

I really am sorry, Nikos.

Well I have lived through other disasters,

I will survive this one.

When do you leave?

We take the Athens plane
from Corfu in the morning.

Well, have a good time - in Dartmoor.

What did he say?

Oh nothing important.

He's gone, that's the main thing.

You don't think he'll give
up that easily, don't you?

There's nothing he can do.

Am I right, did you tell
him you were taking the plane

to Athens in the morning?

Yes I did.

Good, but we'll be leaving by the flight

to Brindisi which is an hour earlier.

Why, do you think he'll try and stop us?

Well if he doesn't, he's
not the man I think he is.

Right, first thing in the morning then.

Morning, time we were going.

Oh.

Mimiko tells me the ferry hasn't come over

from Corfu this morning.

Probably Nikos trying to get even.

Well what do we do?

You can stay here,
I'll try and get a boat.

Nikos.

Here, here, you must read this.

You see?

Charles.

We haven't far to go now, let's get on.

That's the Albanian border.

You go ahead, I'll catch you up.

He shot him!

No, no, Paula, come back.

Paula.

You can't do anything, he's dead.

He might not be, we can't just leave him.

Charles, we can't.

Let her go.

But we are here.

Get out of the way!

I think he's still alive.

Nikos, Nikos, he's still
alive, get some help!

We'll have to cut his shirt.

Nikos, give me your knife.

Yes, I will do it.

My gun please?

Get back.

These men will not miss.

Neither will I.

Hey!

Hey, come with us, come on!

We will take you back.

Made up your minds?

Yes.

Yes, we're coming with you.

You won't regret it.

Won't I?

The story's out.

Yes, but the situation hasn't changed.

I've been on to London
and I have their word.

Charles Glover?

Yes.

Would you mind coming
with us, please, sir?

Just a minute.

Who are you, sir?

Never mind, it's obviously a mistake.

I'm sorry, sir.

Don't touch him.

Not until I've made a phone call.

Commander Hobbs.

Hello?

Commander Hobbs, what's going on?

Oh Drake, well you've done a good job.

The idiots are arresting him.

Good.

But you assured me that they wouldn't.

It's the only reason he came back!

Well, it worked very well then, didn't it?

But you gave me your word!

Did I, Drake?

You hypocritical--
