2
00:01:40,334 --> 00:01:42,834
<i>These are
four brilliant criminals</i>

3
00:01:42,867 --> 00:01:45,600
<i>at the climax of
their most magnificent effort.</i>

4
00:01:49,368 --> 00:01:52,334
<i>This effort began
six months ago in Portoverto,</i>

5
00:01:52,368 --> 00:01:54,734
<i>where we were all
to board the ship for Africa,</i>

6
00:01:54,767 --> 00:01:58,533
<i>and they were my...associates
in a quest for uranium,</i>

7
00:01:58,567 --> 00:02:00,867
<i>an element not one of them
knew the first thing about,</i>

8
00:02:01,101 --> 00:02:03,401
<i>except that they'd heard
you could get dough for it.</i>

9
00:02:03,434 --> 00:02:05,434
<i>Big dough.</i>

10
00:02:05,468 --> 00:02:08,234
Who are-? I mean,
what do you suppose they are?

11
00:02:08,267 --> 00:02:09,900
Businessmen.
Does it matter?

12
00:02:10,201 --> 00:02:12,001
Well, if we're going to be
on a small boat with them

13
00:02:12,034 --> 00:02:13,301
for weeks and weeks.

14
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,834
I only said they might be
fellow passengers.

15
00:02:15,867 --> 00:02:17,834
Harry, we must beware
of those men.

16
00:02:17,867 --> 00:02:19,368
They're desperate characters.

17
00:02:19,401 --> 00:02:20,667
What makes you say that?

18
00:02:20,834 --> 00:02:22,900
Not one of them looked
at my legs.

19
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,134
Good morning, Mrs. Dannreuther.

20
00:02:29,167 --> 00:02:30,301
Good morning, Billy-Boy.

21
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:31,767
Care to join us
in a stroll?

22
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,767
Stir up the liver,

23
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,034
sweat out the toxins.

24
00:02:34,067 --> 00:02:35,834
Help nature to help you.

25
00:02:35,867 --> 00:02:37,134
Wouldn't dream of it.

26
00:02:38,667 --> 00:02:41,667
Really, Billy,
you mustn't be so offhand

27
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:43,067
with Mr. Peterson.

28
00:02:43,401 --> 00:02:45,301
If I were to treat him with more
than common politeness,

29
00:02:45,334 --> 00:02:48,134
he'd misunderstand
and try to push me around.

30
00:02:48,167 --> 00:02:50,434
Mr. Peterson is a bully.

31
00:02:50,468 --> 00:02:52,700
- Billy, did you see this?
- Huh?

32
00:02:54,468 --> 00:02:56,167
That man in London
has been killed.

33
00:02:56,201 --> 00:02:58,034
What man?

34
00:02:58,067 --> 00:02:59,368
"Paul Vanmeer,

35
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,734
"a high-ranking official
in the Colonial Office,

36
00:03:01,767 --> 00:03:04,001
"was stabbed to death
early this morning

37
00:03:04,034 --> 00:03:07,434
"by an unknown assailant
outside a club in Soho.

38
00:03:07,468 --> 00:03:09,167
"This is the third crime
of violence

39
00:03:09,201 --> 00:03:10,434
"to occur in that vicinity

40
00:03:10,468 --> 00:03:12,468
within the past month."

41
00:03:15,167 --> 00:03:16,834
What is it, Billy?

42
00:03:27,034 --> 00:03:29,368
In heaven's name, Billy,
say something.

43
00:03:41,267 --> 00:03:43,667
You understand, of course,
that Peterson arranged this.

44
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:45,034
It seems there's been a lot

45
00:03:45,067 --> 00:03:46,434
of violence around there lately.

46
00:03:46,468 --> 00:03:47,700
Oh, don't pretend to be a fool.

47
00:03:47,734 --> 00:03:48,900
But look, Billy,

48
00:03:49,034 --> 00:03:50,600
this happened
early Tuesday morning.

49
00:03:50,633 --> 00:03:52,767
We'd all left London
well before that.

50
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,633
What about Jack Ross?
What about the Galloping Major?

51
00:03:55,667 --> 00:03:56,734
But he only-

52
00:03:56,867 --> 00:03:58,301
I thought he only stayed behind

53
00:03:58,334 --> 00:04:00,368
to get that phone call
from Mombasa.

54
00:04:00,401 --> 00:04:03,167
If it came through,
he'll be here this morning.

55
00:04:03,201 --> 00:04:04,500
Well?

56
00:04:04,533 --> 00:04:06,267
Don't get so excited.

57
00:04:06,301 --> 00:04:08,767
Don't jump
to unpleasant conclusions.

58
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,600
Jump? They might as well
have drawn a map.

59
00:04:10,633 --> 00:04:12,867
Why was Peterson worried
about Vanmeer?

60
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:14,533
What made him think
he was dangerous?

61
00:04:14,834 --> 00:04:17,334
He was afraid Vanmeer
wouldn't stay bought.

62
00:04:17,368 --> 00:04:20,500
He was afraid he'd get
the wind up after we'd gone.

63
00:04:20,533 --> 00:04:22,468
He had visions
of him trotting upstairs

64
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,533
to his superiors
and announcing,

65
00:04:24,567 --> 00:04:26,700
"I have certain information
that certain persons

66
00:04:26,734 --> 00:04:28,201
are paid certain sums
of money-"

67
00:04:28,234 --> 00:04:29,700
Don't talk so loud, Billy.

68
00:04:30,101 --> 00:04:32,334
"- to obtain illegal rights
to certain mineral supplies."

69
00:04:32,368 --> 00:04:34,900
That Indian-
That rajah or whatever he was.

70
00:04:34,934 --> 00:04:36,834
- that you worked
for in the old days.

71
00:04:36,867 --> 00:04:38,434
He killed a lot of people,
didn't he?

72
00:04:38,468 --> 00:04:40,500
Ah, but he had a better style.

73
00:04:40,533 --> 00:04:42,434
Besides,
he was out for a kingdom

74
00:04:42,468 --> 00:04:44,334
half the size of France.

75
00:04:44,368 --> 00:04:47,334
What's the difference between
that and millions of dollars?

76
00:04:47,368 --> 00:04:49,567
We must think
of the future, Billy.

77
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,934
This is our big chance.

78
00:04:50,967 --> 00:04:52,401
It may be our last.

79
00:04:52,434 --> 00:04:53,934
Except for Mr. Peterson,

80
00:04:53,967 --> 00:04:56,734
we couldn't even pay
last night's hotel bill.

81
00:04:56,767 --> 00:04:57,967
Where are you going?

82
00:04:58,001 --> 00:04:59,301
I'm going down to the café,

83
00:04:59,633 --> 00:05:01,001
drink a lot of Pernod,
listen to the band.

84
00:05:01,034 --> 00:05:02,500
You won't make a fuss,
will you?

85
00:05:02,533 --> 00:05:03,900
It doesn't do
to make a fuss.

86
00:05:04,167 --> 00:05:06,167
You have to think
of the main objective.

87
00:05:08,767 --> 00:05:11,468
Naturally,
it doesn't do to be fussy.

88
00:05:18,834 --> 00:05:20,667
It's your move,
Gwendolen.

89
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:22,167
Gracias.

90
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,301
The luggage is in there.

91
00:05:46,368 --> 00:05:47,600
Bring it up.

92
00:05:55,934 --> 00:05:57,401
Harry, look.
The desperadoes.

93
00:05:57,434 --> 00:05:58,468
Shh.

94
00:06:00,567 --> 00:06:01,967
Not quite
in our contract, Billy.

95
00:06:02,001 --> 00:06:03,533
Hard liquor before noon.

96
00:06:03,567 --> 00:06:04,700
I'm celebrating.

97
00:06:04,734 --> 00:06:05,834
Celebrating what?

98
00:06:05,867 --> 00:06:07,401
The safe arrival of the major.

99
00:06:07,434 --> 00:06:08,934
He came galloping
in a minute ago,

100
00:06:09,067 --> 00:06:10,767
looking tired
but satisfied.

101
00:06:13,101 --> 00:06:15,700
I take it his mission
was accomplished.

102
00:06:15,734 --> 00:06:18,034
Yes. Well, it's getting on
for lunchtime, gentlemen.

103
00:06:18,067 --> 00:06:19,734
I'll see you later, Billy.

104
00:06:23,234 --> 00:06:24,767
Your move, Gwendolen.

105
00:06:26,834 --> 00:06:28,001
Gwendolen,
it's your move.

106
00:06:28,034 --> 00:06:29,533
Oh.

107
00:06:29,567 --> 00:06:30,533
Check.

108
00:06:30,567 --> 00:06:32,034
Blast.

109
00:06:32,067 --> 00:06:35,001
Are you sailing
on the Nyanga?

110
00:06:35,034 --> 00:06:37,234
- Africa-bound.
- So are we.

111
00:06:37,267 --> 00:06:39,034
Oh, my name is Chelm.
This is my wife.

112
00:06:39,167 --> 00:06:40,533
How do you do?
My name is Dannreuther.

113
00:06:40,567 --> 00:06:41,734
How do you do?

114
00:06:41,767 --> 00:06:43,301
Are your friends
sailing too?

115
00:06:43,334 --> 00:06:45,101
The whole kit and caboodle.

116
00:06:45,134 --> 00:06:47,867
You're a very mysterious group,
I must say.

117
00:06:47,900 --> 00:06:48,834
Really, Gwendolen.

118
00:06:48,867 --> 00:06:50,600
How so mysterious?

119
00:06:50,633 --> 00:06:53,201
Well, for one thing
you all appear

120
00:06:53,234 --> 00:06:55,401
to be of different
nationalities.

121
00:06:55,434 --> 00:06:56,934
It's your move,
Gwendolen.

122
00:06:57,867 --> 00:06:58,834
Check.

123
00:07:00,401 --> 00:07:02,234
I have a theory about you
and your friends.

124
00:07:02,267 --> 00:07:04,700
Correction. My associates.

125
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:07,167
As a matter of fact,

126
00:07:07,201 --> 00:07:08,967
I think you're doctors.

127
00:07:09,001 --> 00:07:10,667
Evil ones, I mean.

128
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:12,401
You're going
to the heart of the jungle,

129
00:07:12,867 --> 00:07:15,734
where human life is cheap,
to perform ghastly experiments

130
00:07:15,767 --> 00:07:17,633
which require
the sacrifice of thousands

131
00:07:17,667 --> 00:07:19,934
on the altar of science.

132
00:07:19,967 --> 00:07:21,001
You must excuse my wife,

133
00:07:21,368 --> 00:07:22,934
she has
a very lively imagination.

134
00:07:26,034 --> 00:07:27,434
Checkmate.

135
00:07:27,468 --> 00:07:29,434
I don't know how you expect me
to play a decent game

136
00:07:29,468 --> 00:07:31,934
when you keep talking
all the time.

137
00:07:31,967 --> 00:07:34,134
Harry's been
all out of sorts today.

138
00:07:34,167 --> 00:07:36,101
Usually
he's a wonderful loser.

139
00:07:36,134 --> 00:07:37,800
Good morning, Mr. Dannreuther.

140
00:07:37,834 --> 00:07:39,967
I bring you
the captain's compliments,

141
00:07:40,001 --> 00:07:41,867
along with the sad news
that the sailing

142
00:07:41,900 --> 00:07:44,700
of the S.S. Nyanga
has been postponed.

143
00:07:44,734 --> 00:07:46,567
Now, look here.
This boat is definitely,

144
00:07:46,767 --> 00:07:49,567
most definitely scheduled
to sail at 2400 hours.

145
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,167
Scheduled, Mr. Chelm,

146
00:07:51,201 --> 00:07:53,734
but not, I fear,
destined to do so.

147
00:07:53,767 --> 00:07:55,633
Propeller gone
or is the captain drunk?

148
00:07:55,667 --> 00:07:57,401
Oh, of course the captain
is drunk,

149
00:07:57,434 --> 00:07:59,267
but the real trouble
is with the oil pump.

150
00:07:59,301 --> 00:08:00,600
Well, it's not good enough.

151
00:08:00,633 --> 00:08:01,767
Simply not good enough.

152
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,001
Quite right, sir.

153
00:08:03,134 --> 00:08:04,468
But you're putting it
too mildly.

154
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,167
The present oil pump
is no good at all.

155
00:08:06,434 --> 00:08:07,934
How much delay
does this mean?

156
00:08:07,967 --> 00:08:09,867
Oh, to locate, bargain for,

157
00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:12,767
purchase and install a new one
will require, I should say,

158
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,134
more than a day,
less than a fortnight.

159
00:08:16,167 --> 00:08:19,301
Utter hopeless inefficiency.

160
00:08:19,334 --> 00:08:21,101
Probably it isn't
the oil pump at all.

161
00:08:21,134 --> 00:08:23,001
Just making it an excuse
to hang about

162
00:08:23,034 --> 00:08:24,500
and pick up extra cargo.

163
00:08:24,533 --> 00:08:26,101
Guns or opium?

164
00:08:26,234 --> 00:08:28,468
I wouldn't be surprised if
she turns out to be a smuggler.

165
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:30,368
What a miserable place
to be stuck in.

166
00:08:30,401 --> 00:08:32,900
A squalid fifth-rate port.

167
00:08:32,934 --> 00:08:34,900
Ever been in Portoverto before?

168
00:08:34,934 --> 00:08:37,201
No, I don't know this part
of the world at all.

169
00:08:37,234 --> 00:08:39,368
I thought not. Otherwise
you wouldn't be so upset

170
00:08:39,401 --> 00:08:40,401
about staying.

171
00:08:40,434 --> 00:08:42,301
Magnificent country.

172
00:08:42,334 --> 00:08:44,067
Ruins to visit by moonlight.

173
00:08:44,101 --> 00:08:45,567
Fine stretch of beach.

174
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:46,834
And back there in the hills,

175
00:08:47,167 --> 00:08:49,667
one of the few spots left
in the world

176
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:51,667
where you can get
decent food and drink.

177
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:53,800
It's called the Blue Pavilion.

178
00:08:53,834 --> 00:08:55,600
I insist you give me
the pleasure

179
00:08:55,633 --> 00:08:57,334
of having dinner
with us tonight.

180
00:08:57,434 --> 00:08:59,101
Well, that's awfully kind
of you, but-

181
00:08:59,134 --> 00:09:00,201
Us?

182
00:09:00,267 --> 00:09:01,934
You and your associates?

183
00:09:01,967 --> 00:09:03,700
My wife and me.

184
00:09:03,734 --> 00:09:05,101
The Committee.

185
00:09:05,134 --> 00:09:06,767
Oh, uh, Mr. Chelm, I-

186
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,434
I want you to meet
a friend of mine.

187
00:09:08,468 --> 00:09:10,134
This is the Galloping Major.

188
00:09:10,167 --> 00:09:11,900
The Committee wants you
to toddle 'round.

189
00:09:11,934 --> 00:09:14,001
- Okay.
- Right away.

190
00:09:14,034 --> 00:09:15,533
- I'll be along.
- Toddle.

191
00:09:15,567 --> 00:09:16,767
I said I'd be along.

192
00:09:17,134 --> 00:09:18,967
They don't like
to be kept waiting.

193
00:09:19,834 --> 00:09:21,201
I'll lay on a car.

194
00:09:21,234 --> 00:09:23,633
We'll meet in front
of the hotel at 6.

195
00:09:23,667 --> 00:09:25,401
Arrivederci.

196
00:09:27,934 --> 00:09:31,201
Dannreuther, an American,
I suppose.

197
00:09:31,234 --> 00:09:34,134
Anyway, I-
I quite like him.

198
00:09:34,167 --> 00:09:36,001
Time, 24 hours in a day.

199
00:09:36,034 --> 00:09:38,134
One-thousand-four-hundred
and forty minutes

200
00:09:38,301 --> 00:09:41,034
for somebody else to get busy
on the same idea as ours.

201
00:09:41,067 --> 00:09:43,034
We ought to have got a plane
and flown out,

202
00:09:43,067 --> 00:09:44,468
as I said from the start.

203
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:46,234
You remember I said it,
O'Horror.

204
00:09:46,267 --> 00:09:47,700
My name is not O'Horror.

205
00:09:47,734 --> 00:09:50,001
It is O'Hara. You hear?
Mr. O'Hara.

206
00:09:50,034 --> 00:09:52,700
Yes, Mr. O'Horror, ahem,
but you remember I said it.

207
00:09:52,734 --> 00:09:54,500
I said we ought
to take a plane.

208
00:09:54,533 --> 00:09:56,434
Time. Time. What is time?

209
00:09:56,468 --> 00:09:59,034
The Swiss manufacture it.
The French hoard it.

210
00:09:59,067 --> 00:10:01,900
The Italians squander it.
Americans say it is money.

211
00:10:01,934 --> 00:10:03,633
Hindus say it does not exist.

212
00:10:03,667 --> 00:10:06,167
You know what I say?
I say time is a crook.

213
00:10:06,201 --> 00:10:09,234
If we took a plane,
we'd be there inside 15 hours

214
00:10:09,267 --> 00:10:10,533
instead of who knows when.

215
00:10:10,834 --> 00:10:12,201
I don't want any more talk
about flying.

216
00:10:12,234 --> 00:10:13,334
The sky is for the birds.

217
00:10:13,767 --> 00:10:15,867
My feet are on the ground,
both of them.

218
00:10:17,533 --> 00:10:18,567
Come in, Billy-Boy.

219
00:10:21,067 --> 00:10:22,667
What's all
the fuss about?

220
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:24,034
No fuss, Billy.

221
00:10:24,201 --> 00:10:25,967
We're merely wondering
what course to pursue

222
00:10:26,001 --> 00:10:28,034
in view of this
unfortunate delay.

223
00:10:28,067 --> 00:10:29,700
Join the peasants
in their revels.

224
00:10:29,734 --> 00:10:31,900
Go to church.
Write your memoirs.

225
00:10:33,834 --> 00:10:35,234
Very funny. Ha-ha.

226
00:10:35,533 --> 00:10:37,767
I like an associate of mine
to have a sense of humor.

227
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,101
A good laugh does more
for the stomach muscles

228
00:10:40,134 --> 00:10:42,101
than five minutes
setting up exercises.

229
00:10:44,734 --> 00:10:46,468
And now that we've had
our moment of fun

230
00:10:47,034 --> 00:10:49,134
and all the better for it,
let's get back to the question.

231
00:10:49,167 --> 00:10:51,034
Doesn't this delay call
for a cable

232
00:10:51,067 --> 00:10:52,667
to your friend
in British East?

233
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:53,767
Mustn't send cables.

234
00:10:54,101 --> 00:10:55,267
Can't you get it
through your heads

235
00:10:55,734 --> 00:10:57,434
that the population down there
has trained noses?

236
00:10:57,633 --> 00:11:00,767
They can smell a uranium deal
like a cat smells fish.

237
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,567
But aren't you afraid,
Billy,

238
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,368
that when our little party
doesn't show up

239
00:11:04,401 --> 00:11:06,034
on the date you said-

240
00:11:06,067 --> 00:11:07,600
Aren't you a teeny bit afraid

241
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:09,967
that your friend
might use that as an excuse

242
00:11:10,001 --> 00:11:12,067
to begin negotiations elsewhere?

243
00:11:12,101 --> 00:11:15,633
If my friend were looking
for an excuse,

244
00:11:15,667 --> 00:11:17,567
he'd find a better one
in the morning papers.

245
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,401
What do you mean?

246
00:11:19,434 --> 00:11:22,834
I'm talking about the
untimely demise of Paul Vanmeer.

247
00:11:26,468 --> 00:11:28,700
Well, I'm appalled, Billy.

248
00:11:28,734 --> 00:11:30,667
What an unwholesome opinion
you must have

249
00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:33,001
of your colleagues
to imagine that we-

250
00:11:33,034 --> 00:11:35,734
Look here, Peterson. You don't
have to convince me of anything.

251
00:11:35,767 --> 00:11:37,633
You don't care
what I think as long as I don't

252
00:11:37,667 --> 00:11:39,034
do anything about it.

253
00:11:39,067 --> 00:11:40,834
And I won't
unless you ever decide

254
00:11:40,867 --> 00:11:43,001
to sic that knife-happy
little junkie on me.

255
00:11:43,034 --> 00:11:45,067
Watch yourself, laddie.

256
00:11:45,101 --> 00:11:47,934
Now, Jack, behave yourself.

257
00:11:47,967 --> 00:11:49,034
Sit down.

258
00:11:51,001 --> 00:11:52,368
For shame, Billy.

259
00:11:52,633 --> 00:11:55,567
I think you owe an apology
to everybody in this room,

260
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,301
and if you're half
the gentleman I know you are,

261
00:11:58,334 --> 00:11:59,867
I'm sure you'll make it.

262
00:12:00,067 --> 00:12:02,001
As I was saying,
you have nothing to worry about.

263
00:12:02,034 --> 00:12:04,468
My friend won't pull out
unless I tell him to,

264
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:06,067
and for purely venal reasons,

265
00:12:06,167 --> 00:12:08,301
that's the last thing
I have in mind.

266
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:11,767
Jack, give Billy a light.

267
00:12:22,434 --> 00:12:24,567
What a wonderful car.

268
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,734
It looks as if it had won
the Grand Prix d'Elegance

269
00:12:26,767 --> 00:12:28,734
many years ago.
- Oh, it did.

270
00:12:28,767 --> 00:12:31,001
It was built for Oriposo.
You know, the bullfighter.

271
00:12:31,034 --> 00:12:32,034
He had it made this way

272
00:12:32,401 --> 00:12:33,633
so he could stand up
and take bows.

273
00:12:33,667 --> 00:12:34,834
He only got one ride in it.

274
00:12:35,267 --> 00:12:36,434
He bequeathed it
to me on his deathbed.

275
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,101
Well, here's to Oriposo.
I hope you like champagne.

276
00:12:39,134 --> 00:12:40,767
You mean, it's yours?

277
00:12:40,934 --> 00:12:43,401
Gave it to my former chauffeur,
the fat bandit in the front.

278
00:12:43,434 --> 00:12:45,734
Harry, look
at that wonderful villa.

279
00:12:45,767 --> 00:12:47,468
Oh, that was Bertie Crampton's.

280
00:12:47,734 --> 00:12:50,600
Oh, you mean, Lord Crampton
in Gloucestershire. Heh.

281
00:12:50,633 --> 00:12:53,767
His family acres marched
hand in hand with ours.

282
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,067
Gloucestershire,

283
00:12:55,101 --> 00:12:57,934
the cathedral towns,
trout fishing,

284
00:12:57,967 --> 00:12:59,334
garden parties-

285
00:12:59,368 --> 00:13:01,101
What a beautiful life.

286
00:13:01,134 --> 00:13:02,700
You know England well?

287
00:13:02,734 --> 00:13:05,334
Emotionally,
I am English.

288
00:13:05,368 --> 00:13:08,633
I serve tea every afternoon
with crumpets.

289
00:13:08,667 --> 00:13:11,134
And I've always kept up
my subscription

290
00:13:11,167 --> 00:13:12,234
to Country Life

291
00:13:12,267 --> 00:13:13,734
and to Tattler.

292
00:13:14,001 --> 00:13:16,234
The trouble with England, it's
all pomp and no circumstance.

293
00:13:16,267 --> 00:13:18,567
You're very wise to get
out of it. Escape while you can.

294
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,034
Well, I'd hardly
describe myself as escaping.

295
00:13:21,067 --> 00:13:23,667
It so happened that a relative
of mine, first cousin actually,

296
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:26,201
who died recently, happened
to own a coffee plantation.

297
00:13:26,234 --> 00:13:27,633
Africa's the place now.

298
00:13:28,001 --> 00:13:29,834
You talk about the diamond boys,
the gold boys.

299
00:13:29,867 --> 00:13:31,867
They've just skimmed
a little off the top.

300
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:33,567
The potential mineral wealth
of Africa

301
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:34,967
has hardly been scratched.

302
00:13:35,001 --> 00:13:37,134
Now, there is a villa.

303
00:13:37,167 --> 00:13:38,834
Big.

304
00:13:39,001 --> 00:13:41,267
That's the Villa Capriccio,
famed in song and story.

305
00:13:41,301 --> 00:13:42,967
A three-star attraction
in Baedeker.

306
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,201
Well, whose is it?

307
00:13:44,633 --> 00:13:45,834
The banks own it now.
Used to be mine.

308
00:13:45,867 --> 00:13:47,234
- Yours?
- Yes.

309
00:13:47,401 --> 00:13:49,067
I brought old Charles over
from Fouquet's.

310
00:13:49,234 --> 00:13:51,301
You know, the old Fouquet's,
to run it for me.

311
00:13:51,334 --> 00:13:53,001
Then when I decided
to pull up stakes,

312
00:13:53,301 --> 00:13:54,800
I bought him this restaurant
we're going to.

313
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:57,001
Least I could do
to show my appreciation.

314
00:13:57,034 --> 00:13:58,867
Well, here we are.

315
00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:01,434
Charles!

316
00:14:01,567 --> 00:14:03,434
Wait here a minute
while I rout old Charles out.

317
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,368
He doesn't know
we're in this neck of the woods.

318
00:14:05,401 --> 00:14:07,900
Charles!

319
00:14:07,934 --> 00:14:09,401
Heh.

320
00:14:09,434 --> 00:14:11,533
He must think
we're extraordinarily naive.

321
00:14:11,567 --> 00:14:12,934
Knew all those people.

322
00:14:12,967 --> 00:14:14,834
Owned that vast villa.

323
00:14:14,867 --> 00:14:17,667
Bought this place because
he liked the fellow's cooking.

324
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:18,934
What utter balderdash.

325
00:14:18,967 --> 00:14:20,234
Well, perhaps he did.

326
00:14:20,267 --> 00:14:21,633
I beg leave to doubt it.

327
00:14:21,667 --> 00:14:23,067
Did you notice his wife?

328
00:14:23,301 --> 00:14:25,167
She seemed to me rather
a sensitive little woman.

329
00:14:25,201 --> 00:14:27,201
Really embarrassed
by all that rot.

330
00:14:27,234 --> 00:14:28,867
I'm sorry, signor,

331
00:14:28,900 --> 00:14:30,700
as you see, we are closed.

332
00:14:30,734 --> 00:14:33,167
We do not open
for another two months.

333
00:14:33,201 --> 00:14:36,567
Charles, what's going on here?
This place is falling to rack and ruin.

334
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,167
The placed is closed. We'll have
to dine in the hotel after all.

335
00:14:39,201 --> 00:14:40,700
Monsieur Dann.

336
00:14:43,001 --> 00:14:46,468
Monsieur-
Monsieur Dann.

337
00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:50,001
Madame. Why did you not let me
know you were coming?

338
00:14:50,034 --> 00:14:53,434
You did not say you were
with Monsieur Dann. Heh-heh.

339
00:14:53,468 --> 00:14:55,468
Nothing is closed
to Monsieur Dann.

340
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:56,867
Good to see you again,
Charles.

341
00:14:57,101 --> 00:14:59,101
It's been too long,
Monsieur Dann.

342
00:14:59,134 --> 00:15:02,167
Not since the night
you left the villa. Ha.

343
00:15:02,201 --> 00:15:04,101
Remember your farewell party?

344
00:15:04,134 --> 00:15:05,967
I've tried ever since
to forget it.

345
00:15:06,234 --> 00:15:08,567
Remember how in the morning
we escorted you

346
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,834
to the train
with violins playing

347
00:15:11,867 --> 00:15:13,201
and everybody cried

348
00:15:13,234 --> 00:15:15,700
like when a king
you love very much

349
00:15:15,734 --> 00:15:17,134
leaves his country.

350
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,533
Aren't you dressed yet?

351
00:15:21,567 --> 00:15:23,267
Do I appear
to be dressed?

352
00:15:23,301 --> 00:15:24,800
Do dress, do hurry.

353
00:15:24,834 --> 00:15:26,567
It's the most wonderful day,

354
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,700
and Billy wants us to drive out
and see his villa.

355
00:15:28,734 --> 00:15:31,700
Uh, his former villa. Hm.

356
00:15:31,734 --> 00:15:34,468
Obviously, I can't go.
I've got a chill on my liver.

357
00:15:36,301 --> 00:15:38,667
What a miserable place
to be ill.

358
00:15:38,700 --> 00:15:41,167
And you forgot to pack
my hot water bottle.

359
00:15:41,201 --> 00:15:42,334
You packed it.

360
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:43,867
Gwendolen,
I distinctly remember-

361
00:15:47,334 --> 00:15:49,267
Hello.

362
00:15:49,301 --> 00:15:50,934
Oh, hello.

363
00:15:50,967 --> 00:15:52,600
No, I-I'm afraid we can't.

364
00:15:52,633 --> 00:15:54,167
Harry has
this wretched chill and-

365
00:15:54,201 --> 00:15:55,667
Uh, give me the telephone.

366
00:15:57,834 --> 00:15:59,401
Chelm here.

367
00:15:59,434 --> 00:16:01,401
Yes.

368
00:16:01,434 --> 00:16:02,500
Quite.

369
00:16:02,533 --> 00:16:03,834
Absolutely.

370
00:16:03,867 --> 00:16:05,667
A hot water bottle.

371
00:16:07,101 --> 00:16:10,201
That's very,
very good of you, old boy.

372
00:16:10,234 --> 00:16:11,567
Now, look here, Dannreuther,

373
00:16:11,867 --> 00:16:14,567
would you mind very much
if my wife went alone?

374
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,368
She enjoys this sightseeing sort
of stuff, you know.

375
00:16:18,201 --> 00:16:19,434
Splendid.

376
00:16:19,468 --> 00:16:21,234
Splendid.
I'll send her along.

377
00:16:25,368 --> 00:16:27,800
You know, Gwendolen, nowadays
one simply cannot afford

378
00:16:27,834 --> 00:16:31,434
to dismiss people just because
they're not one's sort.

379
00:16:31,468 --> 00:16:34,567
One has to try
and bridge the gulf.

380
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,101
After all, it's a new world
we're going into.

381
00:16:37,134 --> 00:16:39,267
One's got to take it
as one finds it.

382
00:16:39,301 --> 00:16:40,334
Face it.

383
00:16:40,368 --> 00:16:41,368
Use it.

384
00:16:41,401 --> 00:16:42,500
Master it.

385
00:17:11,767 --> 00:17:13,667
You know,
I- I've seen Americans

386
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:16,633
on the street and in the cinema,
of course, but I-

387
00:17:16,667 --> 00:17:18,934
I've never talked
to one before.

388
00:17:18,967 --> 00:17:20,700
Are you a typical American?

389
00:17:20,734 --> 00:17:22,700
I think it's important
that I should know.

390
00:17:22,734 --> 00:17:24,234
Why important?

391
00:17:25,567 --> 00:17:28,533
There are two good reasons
for falling in love.

392
00:17:28,567 --> 00:17:31,201
One is that the object
of your affections

393
00:17:31,234 --> 00:17:33,034
is unlike anyone else.

394
00:17:33,067 --> 00:17:36,301
A rare spirit,
such as Lord Byron.

395
00:17:36,334 --> 00:17:38,800
The other is that
he's like everybody else,

396
00:17:38,834 --> 00:17:40,600
only superior.

397
00:17:40,633 --> 00:17:43,301
Harry, for instance,
is the very best of a type.

398
00:17:43,334 --> 00:17:46,734
Well, if you must know,
I'm a typical rare spirit.

399
00:17:46,767 --> 00:17:48,201
How long did you live here?

400
00:17:48,567 --> 00:17:51,401
Oh, the longest I've ever
lived anywhere is two years.

401
00:17:51,434 --> 00:17:53,001
But when you were a child,

402
00:17:53,201 --> 00:17:55,301
didn't you ever have a mother
and father and a house

403
00:17:55,334 --> 00:17:56,934
and a street and a town?

404
00:17:56,967 --> 00:17:59,334
No. I, uh- I was an orphan
until I was 20,

405
00:17:59,368 --> 00:18:02,101
and then a rich
and beautiful lady adopted me.

406
00:18:02,134 --> 00:18:04,434
Heh. You know,
I've changed my mind

407
00:18:04,468 --> 00:18:07,201
about your being
an evil doctor.

408
00:18:07,234 --> 00:18:09,301
You're off to keep
a rendezvous some place

409
00:18:09,334 --> 00:18:12,134
in Africa sacred
to the tribesmen.

410
00:18:12,167 --> 00:18:14,401
You're going
to found a new empire

411
00:18:14,434 --> 00:18:18,134
and make yourself master
of the riches of the world,

412
00:18:18,167 --> 00:18:19,967
but you need
a beautiful blond queen

413
00:18:20,001 --> 00:18:21,867
to impress the natives as-

414
00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:25,368
A- as the incarnation
of the queen of Sheba.

415
00:18:25,401 --> 00:18:27,667
That's why you're making
a pass at me.

416
00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:29,034
Am I?

417
00:18:29,067 --> 00:18:30,767
Of course.

418
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,134
I don't generally go sightseeing
with strange men.

419
00:18:34,167 --> 00:18:35,934
You don't believe that,
do you?

420
00:18:35,967 --> 00:18:38,301
Oh, I believe anything you say.

421
00:18:38,334 --> 00:18:40,533
- Do you?
- Mm-hm.

422
00:18:40,567 --> 00:18:43,234
Well, you shouldn't, you know.
You really shouldn't.

423
00:18:43,267 --> 00:18:45,001
Mr. Chelm.

424
00:18:45,034 --> 00:18:46,201
Yes?

425
00:18:46,234 --> 00:18:49,401
It is I, Mrs. Dannreuther.
Maria.

426
00:18:49,434 --> 00:18:50,434
Oh, come on.

427
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:54,134
Tea for two and two for tea.

428
00:18:55,234 --> 00:18:56,600
Now, that's most awfully kind.

429
00:18:56,867 --> 00:18:58,368
You shouldn't
have troubled. Really.

430
00:18:58,401 --> 00:19:00,934
Billy told me you had a chill.

431
00:19:00,967 --> 00:19:02,700
Bit of one. On the liver.
Too tiresome.

432
00:19:02,734 --> 00:19:04,600
- Milk, of course.
- Of course.

433
00:19:08,867 --> 00:19:10,800
I feel I should like somehow

434
00:19:10,834 --> 00:19:12,834
to do him a good turn
of some kind.

435
00:19:12,867 --> 00:19:14,034
You do?

436
00:19:14,067 --> 00:19:15,034
Well, naturally.

437
00:19:15,067 --> 00:19:17,734
Oh, I see, naturally.

438
00:19:17,767 --> 00:19:19,867
I think it would be nice if-

439
00:19:19,900 --> 00:19:22,434
If you were able
to do something for him.

440
00:19:22,468 --> 00:19:23,800
Help him along.

441
00:19:23,834 --> 00:19:25,800
Give him the benefit
of your advice.

442
00:19:25,834 --> 00:19:28,468
Delighted, of course.
For instance?

443
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:31,234
Oh, something with business.

444
00:19:31,267 --> 00:19:33,201
He was very pleased
with that tip you gave him

445
00:19:33,368 --> 00:19:35,267
on the way home last night
about the gold shares.

446
00:19:35,301 --> 00:19:37,434
I've forgotten what I told him.
What was it?

447
00:19:39,334 --> 00:19:41,034
I don't remember either.

448
00:19:41,067 --> 00:19:42,834
I was listening to your voice.

449
00:19:42,867 --> 00:19:44,934
I wasn't listening
to what you said.

450
00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:50,134
<i>You see,
if you were helping him,</i>

451
00:19:50,167 --> 00:19:51,633
it would be so much easier

452
00:19:51,934 --> 00:19:53,800
for us to be together
a lot out there in Africa.

453
00:19:53,834 --> 00:19:55,734
Well, has he any head
for business?

454
00:19:55,767 --> 00:19:57,734
Why, he's simply brilliant.

455
00:19:57,767 --> 00:19:59,468
I wouldn't have thought it.

456
00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:02,167
But of course he is.

457
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:05,034
You don't suppose
I'd marry a ninny, do you?

458
00:20:05,067 --> 00:20:06,368
If you imagine that Harry

459
00:20:06,633 --> 00:20:08,567
is simply going
to Africa to plant coffee,

460
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,201
you're very much mistaken.

461
00:20:11,234 --> 00:20:14,500
In point of fact-
In point of fact,

462
00:20:14,533 --> 00:20:17,301
coffee is the least
of Harry's interests.

463
00:20:17,334 --> 00:20:18,767
In point of fact,

464
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,434
the land he's acquiring

465
00:20:20,468 --> 00:20:23,468
is extremely rich
in certain minerals.

466
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:25,067
Minerals which are indispensable

467
00:20:25,101 --> 00:20:27,533
to the production
of atomic energy.

468
00:20:27,567 --> 00:20:29,767
Harry's land simply teams
with uranium.

469
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,334
It wouldn't surprise me

470
00:20:31,368 --> 00:20:33,667
to see him become
the uranium king.

471
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:36,368
So you see,
my husband isn't such a ninny

472
00:20:36,401 --> 00:20:38,434
as you may have imagined.

473
00:20:38,468 --> 00:20:41,567
It might very well be worth
your while to go in with him.

474
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,867
The potential mineral wealth

475
00:20:43,167 --> 00:20:44,800
of Africa
has hardly been scratched.

476
00:20:44,834 --> 00:20:46,600
So I was telling you
last night.

477
00:20:46,834 --> 00:20:49,567
But of course,
it's a well-known fact.

478
00:21:07,667 --> 00:21:09,001
Billy-Boy.

479
00:21:12,401 --> 00:21:13,533
Had a happy day?

480
00:21:13,567 --> 00:21:14,533
Very.

481
00:21:14,567 --> 00:21:15,934
I'm so glad.

482
00:21:15,967 --> 00:21:18,468
What an attractive woman
Mrs. Chelm is.

483
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:20,201
Is that what you called me over
to tell me?

484
00:21:20,368 --> 00:21:22,001
- Who are the Chelms?
- They're English.

485
00:21:22,334 --> 00:21:24,500
Going out to British East.
They have a coffee plantation.

486
00:21:24,533 --> 00:21:25,934
Any money in coffee?

487
00:21:26,134 --> 00:21:27,834
No. But there's a type
of Englishman goes off

488
00:21:27,867 --> 00:21:29,500
to coffee plantations
without caring

489
00:21:29,667 --> 00:21:31,267
whether there's any money
in it or not.

490
00:21:31,368 --> 00:21:33,334
Relatives leave them
coffee plantations

491
00:21:33,368 --> 00:21:34,867
and they go out to them.

492
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:36,800
But why this sudden interest
in the Chelms?

493
00:21:37,134 --> 00:21:40,600
I just like to know who's
making friends with my friends.

494
00:21:40,633 --> 00:21:42,134
Well, now you know.

495
00:21:46,101 --> 00:21:48,201
I don't believe
one word...

496
00:21:55,201 --> 00:21:57,301
You know,
if I ever leave you,

497
00:21:57,334 --> 00:22:00,934
it will be for someone
of the type of Harry Chelm.

498
00:22:00,967 --> 00:22:02,301
Well, bully for you.

499
00:22:02,334 --> 00:22:04,633
I suppose
that type of Englishman

500
00:22:04,667 --> 00:22:06,800
is like a story I once heard.

501
00:22:06,834 --> 00:22:08,934
An English gardener in England

502
00:22:08,967 --> 00:22:13,633
was showing some Americans one
of those wonderful English lawns

503
00:22:13,667 --> 00:22:15,667
and of course
they wanted to know how

504
00:22:15,834 --> 00:22:18,934
to make a lawn like that,
and this English gardener said-

505
00:22:18,967 --> 00:22:21,267
He said all you have to do
is get some good grass

506
00:22:21,301 --> 00:22:23,167
and roll it every day
for 600 years.

507
00:22:23,201 --> 00:22:25,834
I heard that story
before you were born.

508
00:22:25,867 --> 00:22:28,934
Englishmen tell it when they're
feeling down in the mouth.

509
00:22:28,967 --> 00:22:31,234
You just don't understand
the Chelm type.

510
00:22:33,001 --> 00:22:34,633
You're not even listening.

511
00:22:34,667 --> 00:22:35,934
You never do.

512
00:22:35,967 --> 00:22:37,401
Some day I'll say goodbye

513
00:22:37,434 --> 00:22:40,201
and you won't hear that either.

514
00:22:40,234 --> 00:22:42,734
Some day I shall really
meet my type

515
00:22:42,767 --> 00:22:44,101
and run off with him,

516
00:22:44,134 --> 00:22:46,101
and you'll be simply amazed.

517
00:22:46,134 --> 00:22:47,867
That's possible.

518
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:49,500
George Moore said-

519
00:22:49,533 --> 00:22:52,368
I learned it by heart years ago.

520
00:22:52,401 --> 00:22:54,900
He said that,
"Each great passion

521
00:22:54,934 --> 00:22:58,567
is the fruit
of many fruitless years."

522
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,301
George Moore was a very
distinguished English writer,

523
00:23:01,334 --> 00:23:02,500
you know.

524
00:23:02,533 --> 00:23:04,600
Except that he was Irish.

525
00:23:04,633 --> 00:23:05,967
Cheer up, sugar.

526
00:23:06,001 --> 00:23:07,368
If I make a million
on this deal,

527
00:23:07,667 --> 00:23:10,034
I'll buy you
an old English lawn,

528
00:23:10,067 --> 00:23:12,167
one we can roll up
and take with us.

529
00:23:17,267 --> 00:23:18,201
Billy.

530
00:23:18,234 --> 00:23:19,567
Good morning.

531
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,667
Well, what's our wide-eyed
Irish leprechaun

532
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:23,500
doing outside my door?

533
00:23:23,533 --> 00:23:26,267
Why do you always make jokes
about my name? Huh?

534
00:23:26,301 --> 00:23:28,201
In Chile
the name of O'Hara is-

535
00:23:28,234 --> 00:23:29,700
Is a tiptop name.

536
00:23:29,967 --> 00:23:32,834
Many Germans in Chile have
become to be called O'Hara.

537
00:23:32,867 --> 00:23:34,734
Good morning, Mr. O'Hara.

538
00:23:34,767 --> 00:23:36,368
Madame. My respects.

539
00:23:36,401 --> 00:23:39,234
Perhaps Mr. O'Hara would
like something to drink?

540
00:23:39,267 --> 00:23:43,934
Yes, uh, maybe perhaps, uh,
a little whiskey, huh?

541
00:23:43,967 --> 00:23:45,667
Uh, very weak, please.

542
00:23:45,700 --> 00:23:47,834
What's this visit
in honor of?

543
00:23:47,867 --> 00:23:52,533
Oh...just wanted to have
a little talk with you.

544
00:23:53,368 --> 00:23:54,967
Okay, but make it fast.

545
00:23:55,001 --> 00:23:56,900
Fast. Heh.

546
00:23:56,934 --> 00:23:59,201
I give you my word, Billy. I-

547
00:23:59,234 --> 00:24:02,800
I give you my word.
I'll feel to you like, uh-

548
00:24:02,834 --> 00:24:04,533
Like an older brother.

549
00:24:04,567 --> 00:24:06,401
Oh, it's not so much
the difference of age.

550
00:24:06,434 --> 00:24:08,001
It's, uh-

551
00:24:08,034 --> 00:24:11,434
It's probably-
Yes, the reason is because-

552
00:24:11,468 --> 00:24:13,034
'Cause I come from a culture

553
00:24:13,067 --> 00:24:15,034
which is so much older
than yours.

554
00:24:15,067 --> 00:24:18,900
In my country a child,
6- years-old,

555
00:24:18,934 --> 00:24:21,468
is older in his heart
than you will be at-

556
00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:22,700
At- At 60.

557
00:24:23,567 --> 00:24:24,734
It smokes. It drinks.

558
00:24:24,767 --> 00:24:26,334
It philosophizes.

559
00:24:26,368 --> 00:24:28,600
At this rate, I'll be 60
before you get to the point.

560
00:24:28,633 --> 00:24:31,967
The point-
The point is that-

561
00:24:32,001 --> 00:24:34,734
That Peterson,
Ravello and myself,

562
00:24:34,767 --> 00:24:37,267
we are the principals
in this case.

563
00:24:37,301 --> 00:24:38,800
We are in with the money.

564
00:24:38,834 --> 00:24:41,234
We cannot switch around
and turn and-

565
00:24:41,267 --> 00:24:43,301
But an agent,

566
00:24:43,334 --> 00:24:46,700
it's easy to imagine
that he could conceivably-

567
00:24:46,734 --> 00:24:50,368
Doesn't feel himself quite
as irrevocably committed as-

568
00:24:50,401 --> 00:24:52,834
As, uh, Peterson or...

569
00:24:56,034 --> 00:24:58,034
We're fellow passengers,
I believe.

570
00:24:58,067 --> 00:24:59,434
Not quite yet,
would you say?

571
00:24:59,468 --> 00:25:00,468
Too sadly true.

572
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:01,967
By any chance you-

573
00:25:02,234 --> 00:25:04,267
You don't happen to have seen
your Mr. Dannreuther about?

574
00:25:04,301 --> 00:25:05,734
I don't think
Billy's up yet.

575
00:25:06,067 --> 00:25:07,767
It's not 11.
He's rather a late riser.

576
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,834
But he said- He said-
Well, anyway...

577
00:25:10,867 --> 00:25:12,900
I shouldn't put too much stock
in what Billy says,

578
00:25:12,934 --> 00:25:14,734
particularly
when he's had a few drinks.

579
00:25:14,767 --> 00:25:16,267
Not that he means
to break his word,

580
00:25:16,567 --> 00:25:17,934
he just forgets
that he's given it.

581
00:25:18,301 --> 00:25:20,734
Charm and dependability
so seldom go in one package.

582
00:25:20,767 --> 00:25:22,234
There are exceptions,
of course.

583
00:25:22,267 --> 00:25:23,434
Your husband, I imagine,

584
00:25:23,767 --> 00:25:25,934
from his manner
and behavior, is one.

585
00:25:25,967 --> 00:25:28,368
Oh, yes, very-
Well, quite, I mean.

586
00:25:28,401 --> 00:25:30,267
I'm looking forward
to meeting your husband

587
00:25:30,301 --> 00:25:32,334
and having a chat
about Africa.

588
00:25:32,368 --> 00:25:34,301
By all means.

589
00:25:34,334 --> 00:25:36,500
I understand
he's in coffee.

590
00:25:36,533 --> 00:25:38,267
You make it sound
like a total immersion.

591
00:25:39,533 --> 00:25:41,034
The part of Africa
we're going to

592
00:25:41,267 --> 00:25:42,834
is due for some
pretty important changes.

593
00:25:43,067 --> 00:25:44,767
In my opinion, things
will be booming out there

594
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,734
before you can say
"Jack Robinson."

595
00:25:46,767 --> 00:25:48,633
I do hope there won't be
too many changes.

596
00:25:48,667 --> 00:25:50,267
It's completely unspoiled,
I hear,

597
00:25:50,533 --> 00:25:52,533
with some of the loveliest
scenery in the world.

598
00:25:52,567 --> 00:25:54,900
I can't imagine anything more
lovely in the way of scenery

599
00:25:54,934 --> 00:25:56,267
than to have
a few acres of gold

600
00:25:56,767 --> 00:25:58,134
and diamonds cropping up
on a piece of land

601
00:25:58,167 --> 00:25:59,633
I'd bought for a song.

602
00:25:59,667 --> 00:26:01,101
Heaven forbid.

603
00:26:01,201 --> 00:26:03,334
The next thing there'd be
big ugly holes everywhere

604
00:26:03,368 --> 00:26:07,867
and great horrid machines
instead of, uh, lovely scenery.

605
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:10,167
Anyway, I- I don't think
my husband worries much

606
00:26:10,201 --> 00:26:12,234
about money and business,
that sort of thing.

607
00:26:12,267 --> 00:26:13,834
Really?

608
00:26:13,867 --> 00:26:16,101
I mean, to appreciate
my husband's point of view,

609
00:26:16,134 --> 00:26:19,101
one has to understand
his background.

610
00:26:19,134 --> 00:26:22,067
Those lawns,
hundreds of years in the making.

611
00:26:22,101 --> 00:26:24,500
Those immemorial elms.

612
00:26:24,533 --> 00:26:26,967
Those walls hung
with family portraits,

613
00:26:27,001 --> 00:26:28,301
generations of them.

614
00:26:28,334 --> 00:26:30,368
Those great echoing galleries

615
00:26:30,401 --> 00:26:32,468
where so much of English history
has been made.

616
00:26:33,967 --> 00:26:37,067
Taxes must be terrific
on a place like that.

617
00:26:37,101 --> 00:26:39,934
What would people
like the Chelms care about taxes

618
00:26:39,967 --> 00:26:41,368
with their kind of money?

619
00:26:41,468 --> 00:26:43,167
I mean, when a family
has been a power

620
00:26:43,201 --> 00:26:44,867
in the city of London
for so long,

621
00:26:44,900 --> 00:26:47,500
one of the great
financial families.

622
00:26:47,533 --> 00:26:49,134
"A power in the city."

623
00:26:49,234 --> 00:26:51,800
You mean- Oh, yes, of course.
One of those Chelms.

624
00:26:53,134 --> 00:26:55,134
I'm surprised you know
about them at all.

625
00:26:55,167 --> 00:26:56,800
Very few people do.

626
00:26:56,834 --> 00:26:58,533
They prefer
to work behind the scenes.

627
00:26:58,567 --> 00:27:00,301
I find it rather hard
to believe

628
00:27:00,334 --> 00:27:02,468
that a man
in your husband's position

629
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:05,401
would go to Africa
just for the coffee planting.

630
00:27:05,434 --> 00:27:07,900
You're very quick, aren't you?

631
00:27:07,934 --> 00:27:09,700
In point of fact, he isn't.

632
00:27:09,734 --> 00:27:12,401
In point of fact,
he has a very special reason.

633
00:27:12,434 --> 00:27:13,867
So I suspected.

634
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:16,767
It has to do with...sin.

635
00:27:18,134 --> 00:27:19,434
Sin?

636
00:27:19,533 --> 00:27:22,468
Since the war, my husband
has been almost exclusively

637
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:25,267
concerned with spiritual values.

638
00:27:25,301 --> 00:27:27,500
He feels that
if he can get away there,

639
00:27:27,533 --> 00:27:29,067
in the heart of Africa,

640
00:27:29,101 --> 00:27:31,101
he will come face to face
with essentials.

641
00:27:31,134 --> 00:27:34,500
He wants to work out
the problem of sin.

642
00:27:34,533 --> 00:27:35,500
Sin?

643
00:27:35,533 --> 00:27:37,267
Why, yes, of course.

644
00:27:37,301 --> 00:27:40,267
Isn't that what we're all
most concerned with?

645
00:27:40,301 --> 00:27:41,334
Sin.

646
00:27:43,633 --> 00:27:45,667
Gwendolen,
what are you doing here?

647
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,667
I thought we were supposed
to meet on the beach.

648
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:49,401
Harry, I want you to meet Mr.-

649
00:27:49,434 --> 00:27:50,867
My name is Peterson.

650
00:27:51,134 --> 00:27:53,167
I've been having the most
delightful talk to your wife.

651
00:27:53,301 --> 00:27:56,101
She tells me you're- You're
interested in spiritual values.

652
00:27:56,134 --> 00:27:57,667
I myself am
vastly concerned-

653
00:27:57,834 --> 00:27:59,301
Harry, we really
better be going.

654
00:27:59,334 --> 00:28:01,633
You'll excuse us,
Mr. Peterson.

655
00:28:01,667 --> 00:28:03,334
What have you been
telling that man?

656
00:28:03,368 --> 00:28:04,767
Why, nothing, Harry.

657
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,334
He got on to the subject
of religion,

658
00:28:06,767 --> 00:28:08,368
and I just happened to mention
that we usually go

659
00:28:08,401 --> 00:28:10,334
to church on Sunday.

660
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:14,067
Billy, I-
I think it is high time

661
00:28:14,101 --> 00:28:16,001
you take stock of yourself.

662
00:28:16,034 --> 00:28:18,401
Can you truthfully say
about yourself, I-

663
00:28:18,434 --> 00:28:19,900
I, Billy Dannreuther,

664
00:28:20,134 --> 00:28:24,034
have acted fairly and squarely
to my associates, huh?

665
00:28:24,067 --> 00:28:25,900
But of course he can,
Mr. O'Hara.

666
00:28:25,934 --> 00:28:27,700
Everybody knows Billy
is the soul of honor.

667
00:28:27,734 --> 00:28:28,800
Shut up, sugar.

668
00:28:28,967 --> 00:28:30,234
Perhaps he is the soul of honor

669
00:28:30,434 --> 00:28:32,301
and perhaps appearances
are deceiving.

670
00:28:32,734 --> 00:28:34,934
Do you mind telling me what it
is I'm supposed to have done?

671
00:28:34,967 --> 00:28:36,134
Nothing.

672
00:28:36,167 --> 00:28:37,867
It's your conduct.
Your- Your-

673
00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:40,368
Your conduct doesn't-

674
00:28:40,401 --> 00:28:42,767
Your conduct does
not inspire confidence and-

675
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,767
And confidence, Billy,
is the most important necessity

676
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,500
in an undertaking of our kind.

677
00:28:47,533 --> 00:28:49,067
One may be completely innocent,

678
00:28:49,167 --> 00:28:50,734
but if one's actions
invite suspicion,

679
00:28:50,767 --> 00:28:52,368
one might as well be guilty.

680
00:28:52,500 --> 00:28:55,001
To be trustworthy
is not more important than-

681
00:28:55,034 --> 00:28:57,900
Than to seem to be trustworthy.

682
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:03,600
Billy, have you done something
you shouldn't have?

683
00:29:04,900 --> 00:29:06,934
Tell me, Billy.

684
00:29:06,967 --> 00:29:08,500
Tell me the truth.

685
00:29:08,533 --> 00:29:11,201
My conduct.

686
00:29:11,234 --> 00:29:13,800
Who do they think I am,
their hired man?

687
00:29:13,834 --> 00:29:15,401
But you are,
you know.

688
00:29:15,434 --> 00:29:18,001
You are
their hired man.

689
00:29:18,034 --> 00:29:21,034
How good and kind of you
to remind me.

690
00:29:21,067 --> 00:29:23,567
How good. How true.

691
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,401
How kind.

692
00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:41,934
Oh, I say, Dannreuther.

693
00:29:42,267 --> 00:29:43,434
Good to see you.
How about a drink?

694
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,167
Well, I, uh-
Oh, come on, my dear fellow,

695
00:29:45,201 --> 00:29:46,734
let me buy you a drink.

696
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,234
Oh, uh, Gwendolen, don't forget
to send one to Aunt Beatrice.

697
00:29:54,368 --> 00:29:55,867
Can't understand it.

698
00:29:56,101 --> 00:29:58,633
Gwendolen distinctly said she'd
join me on the beach,

699
00:29:58,667 --> 00:30:00,934
then I come back and find her
sitting there in that café.

700
00:30:00,967 --> 00:30:02,667
Extraordinary creatures, women.

701
00:30:02,700 --> 00:30:04,267
Well, let's drink
to them.

702
00:30:04,301 --> 00:30:06,267
- Pernod.
- Scotch.

703
00:30:06,301 --> 00:30:08,434
Come on, you tiny little wreck.
Have a drink.

704
00:30:08,468 --> 00:30:09,734
We're drinking
to women.

705
00:30:12,267 --> 00:30:15,301
Take the drink,
but won't join you in the toast.

706
00:30:15,334 --> 00:30:16,567
A glass of Irish.

707
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:17,900
Women.

708
00:30:18,034 --> 00:30:20,101
Hitler had the right idea.
Keep them in their place.

709
00:30:21,734 --> 00:30:23,368
"Babies in the kitchen."

710
00:30:23,401 --> 00:30:25,633
Say what you want to about
Hitler, he had his points.

711
00:30:25,667 --> 00:30:26,734
Come, come. Look here.

712
00:30:27,067 --> 00:30:28,567
This generation's
had its chance.

713
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,401
Hitler, Mussolini,
those were the men.

714
00:30:30,434 --> 00:30:32,401
Now is the age
of the barbarians.

715
00:30:32,434 --> 00:30:33,734
The world's going up in smoke.

716
00:30:33,967 --> 00:30:35,101
I say let it come.
Get it over with.

717
00:30:35,134 --> 00:30:36,434
Well, if you don't mind,

718
00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:38,700
I'd like another year
or so of worrying.

719
00:30:38,734 --> 00:30:40,667
Worrying?
Just one minute, laddies.

720
00:30:40,767 --> 00:30:42,633
I've just two or three words
to say to you laddies,

721
00:30:42,667 --> 00:30:43,834
and that's don't worry.

722
00:30:43,867 --> 00:30:45,234
Don't ever worry.

723
00:30:45,267 --> 00:30:46,767
I'm in a position to know.

724
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,067
Secret information.

725
00:30:48,101 --> 00:30:49,368
The Rosicrucians.

726
00:30:49,667 --> 00:30:51,600
The great white brotherhood.
The high secret orders.

727
00:30:51,633 --> 00:30:54,067
But you've no faith.
You must have faith.

728
00:30:54,101 --> 00:30:55,734
Faith and power. Secret power.

729
00:30:55,767 --> 00:30:57,867
Men who guard the trust
from the deepest insides

730
00:30:57,900 --> 00:30:59,101
of the whatchamacallit.

731
00:30:59,234 --> 00:31:01,167
Mystic rulers.
All one club.

732
00:31:01,201 --> 00:31:03,267
Chained together by one purpose.
One idea.

733
00:31:03,301 --> 00:31:05,533
Mankind's champions.
Follow me, Billy?

734
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:07,500
Oh, why, of course.

735
00:31:07,533 --> 00:31:09,368
This generation's
had its chance.

736
00:31:09,401 --> 00:31:10,633
Hitler, Mussolini.

737
00:31:10,767 --> 00:31:12,034
I can't stand here
and permit you-

738
00:31:12,067 --> 00:31:13,600
Are you interrupting me?

739
00:31:13,633 --> 00:31:15,401
Relax, Jack.
Have another drink.

740
00:31:15,700 --> 00:31:18,034
I simply want to state
that things don't happen to be

741
00:31:18,067 --> 00:31:19,900
what certain people imagine.

742
00:31:19,934 --> 00:31:22,101
An officer may find himself
strapped for money

743
00:31:22,134 --> 00:31:24,001
and he may undertake
certain things

744
00:31:24,101 --> 00:31:26,834
which in other circumstances,
no, absolutely no.

745
00:31:26,867 --> 00:31:27,900
Absolutely.

746
00:31:28,201 --> 00:31:30,567
I mean, uh,
absolutely no.

747
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,967
In the old days I should have
simply told people of your ilk

748
00:31:33,001 --> 00:31:34,201
to buy their own drinks.

749
00:31:34,234 --> 00:31:36,368
Poor old Jack.

750
00:31:36,401 --> 00:31:39,134
I'll teach you.

751
00:31:39,167 --> 00:31:43,667
I'll teach you to insult an
ex-officer of the Indian army.

752
00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:46,700
Well, are you yellow?

753
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:51,034
The bar.

754
00:31:51,067 --> 00:31:52,201
You're Major Ross?

755
00:31:52,234 --> 00:31:53,401
Right.

756
00:31:57,001 --> 00:31:58,567
Ross here.

757
00:31:58,600 --> 00:31:59,967
Right.

758
00:32:00,001 --> 00:32:02,201
Right again.

759
00:32:02,234 --> 00:32:03,767
Come along.
The Committee.

760
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,368
Saved by the bell.

761
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:11,234
I've never heard such rot
in my life.

762
00:32:11,267 --> 00:32:13,101
Sin. Oh, sin.

763
00:32:13,134 --> 00:32:15,067
All I could do was to keep
a straight face.

764
00:32:15,101 --> 00:32:16,468
No. I'm certain of it now.

765
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:18,867
These are two very clever
and dangerous antagonists.

766
00:32:18,900 --> 00:32:20,234
Sit here and help me close this.

767
00:32:20,700 --> 00:32:22,900
But how could they possibly know
what we're up to?

768
00:32:22,934 --> 00:32:25,267
Great interests like the Chelms
have ways and means.

769
00:32:25,301 --> 00:32:27,101
Yes, and I'm convinced
they're out to get us

770
00:32:27,134 --> 00:32:28,567
even before we get started.

771
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:29,734
We must get ahead of them.

772
00:32:30,167 --> 00:32:31,600
Time has entered the picture
in a new way.

773
00:32:31,633 --> 00:32:33,401
Never forget the time factor,
gentlemen.

774
00:32:33,434 --> 00:32:35,101
It always enters the picture
in the end.

775
00:32:35,134 --> 00:32:36,468
I'm sending a cable
to London.

776
00:32:37,067 --> 00:32:39,001
I want full information
on those Chelm interests.

777
00:32:39,034 --> 00:32:41,368
British Africa too.
Check up on his interests there.

778
00:32:41,401 --> 00:32:42,600
Every time the plane lands,

779
00:32:42,900 --> 00:32:44,167
I'll try and reach you
by telephone.

780
00:32:44,434 --> 00:32:46,101
Keep me informed
of the latest developments.

781
00:32:46,134 --> 00:32:48,368
Dannreuther,
that lying, swinish,

782
00:32:48,401 --> 00:32:49,767
rum-swilling, double-crosser.

783
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,201
What pleasure it would give me-

784
00:32:51,633 --> 00:32:53,600
Ah, ah, no, you can't
at the moment. We need him.

785
00:32:53,633 --> 00:32:56,067
Right now we need that swinish,
lying double-

786
00:32:56,101 --> 00:32:57,900
Did I hear my name?

787
00:32:57,934 --> 00:32:59,067
Rub-a-dub-dub.

788
00:32:59,101 --> 00:33:01,800
Three men in a tub.

789
00:33:01,834 --> 00:33:03,301
Tub?

790
00:33:03,334 --> 00:33:05,700
Oh, heh-heh-heh.

791
00:33:05,734 --> 00:33:07,234
Been a change of plan,
Billy-Boy.

792
00:33:07,334 --> 00:33:08,567
You and I are leaving
for Africa.

793
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,900
How's that?

794
00:33:10,034 --> 00:33:11,934
You and I are flying to Africa
by the next plane.

795
00:33:11,967 --> 00:33:13,334
Oh, what's happened,
Peterson?

796
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:15,468
It must be something important
to get you on a plane.

797
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:16,900
Perfectly simple,
Billy-Boy.

798
00:33:17,434 --> 00:33:19,267
The trouble with the oil pump
and the general uncertainty

799
00:33:19,301 --> 00:33:20,900
<i>about when the Nyanga will sail</i>

800
00:33:21,001 --> 00:33:22,967
forces me to sacrifice
my personal comfort.

801
00:33:23,101 --> 00:33:26,234
I prefer to fly rather than run
the risk of arriving too late.

802
00:33:26,267 --> 00:33:28,934
Well, there's also such a thing
as arriving too early.

803
00:33:28,967 --> 00:33:31,101
What do you mean by that?
The land doesn't come up

804
00:33:31,134 --> 00:33:32,900
for auction
for a couple of weeks.

805
00:33:32,934 --> 00:33:34,767
My friend can't make
his move until then.

806
00:33:34,900 --> 00:33:37,067
If we sit around in British East
all that time,

807
00:33:37,101 --> 00:33:40,234
somebody's gonna start wondering
who we are and ask questions.

808
00:33:40,267 --> 00:33:41,633
Is that your real opinion,
Billy,

809
00:33:41,667 --> 00:33:42,934
or are you just looking forward

810
00:33:43,234 --> 00:33:45,101
to a long sea voyage
with the attractive

811
00:33:45,134 --> 00:33:46,667
Mrs. Chelm as your companion?

812
00:33:46,700 --> 00:33:48,500
Or perhaps you have
even other reasons.

813
00:33:48,533 --> 00:33:49,767
Such as?

814
00:33:50,067 --> 00:33:51,533
That's for you to know
and for us to find out.

815
00:33:51,567 --> 00:33:53,401
You better get
your packing done.

816
00:33:58,834 --> 00:34:02,067
Billy, where are you going?

817
00:34:02,101 --> 00:34:04,101
Off to Africa.
Flying.

818
00:34:04,134 --> 00:34:05,967
Just like that?

819
00:34:06,001 --> 00:34:08,201
Weren't you even going
to kiss me goodbye?

820
00:34:13,667 --> 00:34:14,600
I wish-

821
00:34:14,633 --> 00:34:15,700
Don't say it.

822
00:34:15,734 --> 00:34:16,700
What?

823
00:34:16,734 --> 00:34:17,967
That you wish we'd never met.

824
00:34:18,134 --> 00:34:19,134
You'll be coming on the boat

825
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:20,734
and in Africa
we'll get together and-

826
00:34:20,767 --> 00:34:22,533
I think I hate you.

827
00:34:22,567 --> 00:34:25,101
Letting those revolting men
order you about.

828
00:34:25,134 --> 00:34:26,734
Don't deny it.
I've watched them.

829
00:34:26,834 --> 00:34:28,301
They treat you
like a servant.

830
00:34:28,334 --> 00:34:32,201
They say hop it
and off you hop.

831
00:34:32,234 --> 00:34:33,834
I know what it is.

832
00:34:33,867 --> 00:34:35,267
They have a hold on you.

833
00:34:35,401 --> 00:34:38,234
Some black secret
that could ruin you.

834
00:34:38,267 --> 00:34:40,101
Oh, what makes you think that?

835
00:34:40,134 --> 00:34:41,834
Oh, it happens all the time.

836
00:34:41,867 --> 00:34:43,334
My old Spanish nurse told me

837
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,500
that half the people in the
world would be ruined at once

838
00:34:45,533 --> 00:34:48,134
if everyone told
what they knew.

839
00:34:48,167 --> 00:34:51,633
But...couldn't you have them
done away with?

840
00:34:51,667 --> 00:34:54,867
I mean, you must know plenty of
people who could bump them off.

841
00:34:56,067 --> 00:34:57,401
It'd probably cost
a good deal,

842
00:34:57,500 --> 00:34:58,800
but it'd be worth it certainly.

843
00:34:58,834 --> 00:35:00,067
Oh, it's not impossible.

844
00:35:00,434 --> 00:35:02,201
Except that afterwards
I wouldn't have any money.

845
00:35:02,234 --> 00:35:04,201
This way I stand to make a lot.

846
00:35:04,234 --> 00:35:05,401
Millions?
Maybe.

847
00:35:06,934 --> 00:35:09,001
Then perhaps your connection
with those men

848
00:35:09,034 --> 00:35:12,667
isn't quite so undignified
as I thought.

849
00:35:12,700 --> 00:35:16,767
Those millions, would they be,
uh, pounds or dollars?

850
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,067
Oh, either way suits me.

851
00:35:19,101 --> 00:35:20,967
Now, that's very careless
of you.

852
00:35:21,001 --> 00:35:22,700
The state of the pound
is so uncertain.

853
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:25,500
You must think in terms
of hard currency.

854
00:35:25,533 --> 00:35:28,700
Maybe I should hire you
to handle my affairs.

855
00:35:28,734 --> 00:35:30,567
You could do worse.

856
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,267
I'm awfully intelligent,
really.

857
00:35:33,301 --> 00:35:35,567
Come along, Billy-Boy.
The car's waiting.

858
00:35:52,201 --> 00:35:55,334
If we can't go faster than this,
we'll miss the plane. Press on.

859
00:35:55,368 --> 00:35:56,767
Press on.

860
00:36:04,867 --> 00:36:06,301
Try posting.

861
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,934
Push, push.

862
00:36:40,867 --> 00:36:44,034
Come on.
One, two, three!

863
00:37:14,301 --> 00:37:15,667
Driver, driver!

864
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,834
My car, my car!
My beautiful car.

865
00:38:17,867 --> 00:38:19,633
You did that on purpose.
What?!

866
00:38:19,667 --> 00:38:20,967
You planned it that way.

867
00:38:21,301 --> 00:38:22,800
I know what you're up to.
I know everything.

868
00:38:22,967 --> 00:38:24,734
I know about the uranium
on the Chelms' land.

869
00:38:24,867 --> 00:38:26,468
The Chelm interests
in the city of London.

870
00:38:26,500 --> 00:38:27,567
The what?

871
00:38:27,700 --> 00:38:29,034
You heard me.
The Chelm interests.

872
00:38:29,567 --> 00:38:31,301
I take it your information comes
from a reliable source.

873
00:38:31,334 --> 00:38:33,167
It does. From Mrs. Chelm
herself, in fact.

874
00:38:33,301 --> 00:38:35,234
Ha, ha. Magnificent.
Simply magnificent.

875
00:38:35,267 --> 00:38:37,500
You must pay me back for
the loss of my beautiful car.

876
00:38:37,533 --> 00:38:39,134
If you weren't
a benighted jackass,

877
00:38:39,334 --> 00:38:40,767
if you could see
as far as you spit,

878
00:38:41,267 --> 00:38:43,001
you'd know there's no such
thing as the Chelm interests.

879
00:38:43,034 --> 00:38:45,267
You'll have to do better
than that, Mr. Dannreuther,

880
00:38:45,301 --> 00:38:46,468
very much better than that.

881
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,368
Don't believe me!
Check with London.

882
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,633
If you find out he's anything
more than a down-at-heel

883
00:38:50,934 --> 00:38:54,101
Gloucestershire squire, you can
have my services for nothing.

884
00:38:54,134 --> 00:38:57,167
You mean, Mrs. Chelm
is an unqualified liar?

885
00:38:57,201 --> 00:38:59,201
Well, let's say she uses
her imagination

886
00:38:59,234 --> 00:39:00,667
rather than her memory.

887
00:39:00,900 --> 00:39:03,734
You will make restitution,
will you no, Mr. Dann?

888
00:39:03,767 --> 00:39:05,468
Either the money
or a new car.

889
00:39:05,867 --> 00:39:08,334
Why, you fat bandit, I gave you
the car in the first place.

890
00:39:08,368 --> 00:39:11,700
How I came by it
is beside the point.

891
00:39:11,734 --> 00:39:13,567
The fact you gave it to me

892
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,633
doesn't make it
any the less mine.

893
00:39:15,667 --> 00:39:16,934
Shut up.

894
00:39:16,967 --> 00:39:19,734
That's right, threaten me.

895
00:39:19,767 --> 00:39:22,734
It is not enough that you
destroy my beautiful car.

896
00:39:22,767 --> 00:39:23,734
Now you-

897
00:39:25,101 --> 00:39:26,834
My beautiful car.

898
00:39:28,234 --> 00:39:29,834
Stop!
Hey, stop.

899
00:39:37,134 --> 00:39:38,500
More than anything,

900
00:39:38,633 --> 00:39:42,667
I want Billy to make
a grand success out there.

901
00:39:42,700 --> 00:39:45,468
Well, as you care so much
about money,

902
00:39:45,500 --> 00:39:47,468
I should have thought
you would have left Billy

903
00:39:47,500 --> 00:39:49,067
for some rich man.

904
00:39:49,101 --> 00:39:51,500
I shouldn't think Billy
would mind, really.

905
00:39:51,533 --> 00:39:55,368
I mean, neither of you are
in love or anything.

906
00:39:55,401 --> 00:39:57,667
You are a strange girl.

907
00:39:57,700 --> 00:39:59,533
Of course I love Billy.

908
00:39:59,567 --> 00:40:01,700
Actually,
I adore him.

909
00:40:01,734 --> 00:40:07,267
And Billy loves me very, very,
but very much.

910
00:40:07,301 --> 00:40:10,967
That's why I trust him with
his little unimportant amours.

911
00:40:11,001 --> 00:40:12,867
And what does he say
about yours?

912
00:40:13,001 --> 00:40:16,368
But, darling, all husbands
like their wives

913
00:40:16,401 --> 00:40:19,167
to seem attractive
to other men.

914
00:40:22,334 --> 00:40:24,767
Be sure you to explain
that to Harry.

915
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,167
I'm going back to the hotel.

916
00:40:32,101 --> 00:40:34,167
Mrs. Dannreuther, Maria.

917
00:40:34,201 --> 00:40:37,834
I have, I'm afraid- I have
some shocking news for you.

918
00:40:37,867 --> 00:40:39,434
The boat is not going
at all?

919
00:40:39,533 --> 00:40:41,900
There's been
a terrible accident.

920
00:40:41,934 --> 00:40:43,867
Your husband's car drove
over a cliff.

921
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:46,667
The people on the bus saw it
fall into the sea.

922
00:40:46,700 --> 00:40:48,900
It seems almost certain that-

923
00:40:48,934 --> 00:40:53,101
What is it? What-?
What are you trying to say?

924
00:40:53,134 --> 00:40:55,401
He's saying
that Billy is dead.

925
00:40:56,500 --> 00:40:57,633
It's become necessary

926
00:40:58,001 --> 00:41:00,034
to redistribute the stock
in our company.

927
00:41:00,067 --> 00:41:01,234
Stock. Stock.

928
00:41:01,267 --> 00:41:03,001
What good is the stock now?

929
00:41:03,034 --> 00:41:05,867
We can't deal
with Dannreuther's friend,

930
00:41:05,900 --> 00:41:07,633
not without Dannreuther.

931
00:41:07,667 --> 00:41:08,967
All the effort.

932
00:41:09,001 --> 00:41:10,234
The money.

933
00:41:10,401 --> 00:41:13,101
Everything went over the cliff
with that car.

934
00:41:13,134 --> 00:41:16,667
Ravello, you forget the English
are very sentimental people.

935
00:41:16,700 --> 00:41:19,067
I tell you, there is nothing
that Billy's friend

936
00:41:19,101 --> 00:41:20,434
will not do for his widow.

937
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:26,101
And in black, mwah,
she's a very touching figure.

938
00:41:26,134 --> 00:41:27,734
Poor Maria.

939
00:41:27,767 --> 00:41:30,600
You really have had a-
A wretched time of it.

940
00:41:30,633 --> 00:41:33,101
You are very understanding.

941
00:41:33,134 --> 00:41:36,234
If only there was something
I could do.

942
00:41:36,267 --> 00:41:41,301
Just now if you could bring me
an aspirin. I have a headache.

943
00:41:41,334 --> 00:41:44,134
Don't move. Just you wait there.
I'll be back in a moment.

944
00:41:46,434 --> 00:41:49,967
Mussolini, Hitler
and now Peterson.

945
00:41:50,001 --> 00:41:52,767
A great man.
A great loss.

946
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:57,067
I'm... I'm going upstairs
and read my bible.

947
00:42:00,067 --> 00:42:01,301
Why all the gloom?

948
00:42:03,201 --> 00:42:04,900
Maria has a headache.

949
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:09,767
What's the matter with you?

950
00:42:11,101 --> 00:42:12,533
Go away.

951
00:42:12,633 --> 00:42:14,934
My dear girl, I'm as sorry
about Dannreuther as you are,

952
00:42:15,034 --> 00:42:17,334
but after all, it isn't as if he
was one of our oldest friends.

953
00:42:17,368 --> 00:42:18,533
I was in love with him.

954
00:42:18,767 --> 00:42:20,434
He was a very pleasant
acquaintance.

955
00:42:20,468 --> 00:42:22,134
What did you say?

956
00:42:22,167 --> 00:42:23,334
I was in love with him.

957
00:42:23,633 --> 00:42:24,934
Really, darling,
have you no control

958
00:42:24,967 --> 00:42:26,434
over your romantic fantasies?

959
00:42:26,468 --> 00:42:27,900
I loved him.

960
00:42:27,934 --> 00:42:29,201
Can't you hear me?

961
00:42:29,234 --> 00:42:31,633
I loved him, I loved him!

962
00:42:31,667 --> 00:42:33,900
Oh, rot.
You're just dramatizing again.

963
00:42:33,934 --> 00:42:37,934
By George, you were right
after all. Ha! I did pack it.

964
00:42:37,967 --> 00:42:41,600
Oh, what shall I do?

965
00:42:43,067 --> 00:42:45,434
I feel as though
I were drowning.

966
00:42:45,468 --> 00:42:48,301
He's dead.

967
00:42:48,334 --> 00:42:52,934
He's dead, and I'm left
with a fool like you.

968
00:42:52,967 --> 00:42:55,201
I'll tell you what to do.
Have a bit of shuteye.

969
00:42:55,234 --> 00:42:57,401
You'll wake up in an hour
feeling your old self again,

970
00:42:57,434 --> 00:42:59,067
and there'll be no more
silly stories

971
00:42:59,533 --> 00:43:02,334
about falling for a middle-aged
roustabout, rest his soul.

972
00:43:02,368 --> 00:43:04,167
Oh, please go away.

973
00:43:04,201 --> 00:43:05,633
I'll just take these to Maria.

974
00:43:12,967 --> 00:43:15,067
Mr. Chelm,
this is very important,

975
00:43:15,101 --> 00:43:17,134
for you as well
as for myself.

976
00:43:17,167 --> 00:43:18,500
Yes, well, get on with it.

977
00:43:18,700 --> 00:43:20,267
There is now
an opportunity for you

978
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,234
to secure enormous profits
with virtually no risk.

979
00:43:23,267 --> 00:43:25,134
I won't beat about the bush.

980
00:43:25,167 --> 00:43:26,301
Our purpose in going to...

981
00:43:26,500 --> 00:43:27,867
For you, as Billy's widow,

982
00:43:28,201 --> 00:43:30,368
it will be very easy to persuade
his friend in British East.

983
00:43:30,401 --> 00:43:32,667
And- And for capital,
we have Chelm.

984
00:43:32,700 --> 00:43:35,234
Quite evidently you've been
misinformed as to my interests.

985
00:43:47,267 --> 00:43:49,401
What's the matter
with all of you?

986
00:43:49,434 --> 00:43:50,600
Is somebody dead?

987
00:43:50,633 --> 00:43:53,267
The car.
It went over a cliff.

988
00:43:53,301 --> 00:43:55,134
We thought
you'd both been killed.

989
00:43:55,167 --> 00:43:57,201
Dannreuther, I'm delighted
to see you're alive.

990
00:43:57,234 --> 00:43:59,034
But your wife is
in a fainting condition.

991
00:43:59,301 --> 00:44:01,101
You mean, you're not dead
at all?

992
00:44:01,134 --> 00:44:02,667
Obviously I'm not dead.

993
00:44:02,834 --> 00:44:04,301
I knew you weren't dead.

994
00:44:04,401 --> 00:44:06,401
I counted 13 backwards
13 times.

995
00:44:06,434 --> 00:44:08,301
My old Spanish nurse said
if you did that,

996
00:44:08,500 --> 00:44:10,767
a miracle would happen,
and you see it has.

997
00:44:12,334 --> 00:44:15,401
Ladies and gentlemen, I bring
you the glad tidings.

998
00:44:15,434 --> 00:44:16,734
The captain is sober,

999
00:44:17,067 --> 00:44:19,034
<i>and the S.S. Nyanga
will sail at midnight.</i>

1000
00:44:31,301 --> 00:44:32,900
I can't see it anywhere.

1001
00:44:34,334 --> 00:44:36,401
What can have happened to it?

1002
00:44:36,434 --> 00:44:37,900
My dispatch box, where is it?

1003
00:44:38,301 --> 00:44:40,234
A black tin box, this size.
What have you done with it?

1004
00:44:43,034 --> 00:44:45,167
I told you to take the most
particular care of it.

1005
00:44:45,500 --> 00:44:47,567
I shall not go onboard till
my dispatch box has been found.

1006
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:48,967
Having trouble, Chelm?

1007
00:44:49,201 --> 00:44:50,734
Nothing I can't cope
with myself, thank you.

1008
00:44:56,500 --> 00:44:58,667
He says he put it in your cabin.
Whatever it is.

1009
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,334
Idiot. Why didn't he say so
in the first place?

1010
00:45:03,633 --> 00:45:06,700
Say, look, what's happened
to Harry?

1011
00:45:06,734 --> 00:45:08,633
He's been giving me
the fisheye all evening.

1012
00:45:08,667 --> 00:45:10,500
- Oh.
- What is it?

1013
00:45:10,533 --> 00:45:12,934
Perhaps it's because when I
thought you were dead, I-

1014
00:45:12,967 --> 00:45:14,533
I told him
I was in love with you.

1015
00:45:14,567 --> 00:45:15,667
You what?

1016
00:45:15,700 --> 00:45:16,700
I couldn't help it.

1017
00:45:16,834 --> 00:45:18,267
It made you seem less dead.

1018
00:45:18,301 --> 00:45:19,267
And?

1019
00:45:19,301 --> 00:45:20,533
Oh, he didn't believe me.

1020
00:45:20,667 --> 00:45:22,334
He thought my nerves were upset.

1021
00:45:22,368 --> 00:45:24,001
A sort of delirium.

1022
00:45:24,034 --> 00:45:25,368
He thought it quite a joke,

1023
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,767
the idea of my inventing
a love affair

1024
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,533
with a middle-aged
roustabout like you.

1025
00:45:29,567 --> 00:45:30,700
That's what he called you.

1026
00:45:31,101 --> 00:45:32,301
Well, now, that I'm back
in the flesh,

1027
00:45:32,734 --> 00:45:36,267
he'll begin wondering about
that delirium of yours.

1028
00:45:36,301 --> 00:45:37,800
I suppose seeing you alive

1029
00:45:37,834 --> 00:45:40,101
is different
from thinking of you dead.

1030
00:45:40,134 --> 00:45:42,101
It'll be just great,
cooped up on that tub

1031
00:45:42,134 --> 00:45:43,468
with a suspicious husband.

1032
00:45:48,067 --> 00:45:49,600
Billy,

1033
00:45:53,401 --> 00:45:54,468
let's not go.

1034
00:45:54,500 --> 00:45:55,867
What do you mean?

1035
00:45:58,633 --> 00:46:01,267
I'm asking you
to run away with me.

1036
00:46:01,301 --> 00:46:02,567
Now.

1037
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,401
What about the millions
in hard currency?

1038
00:46:04,434 --> 00:46:05,967
What's happened to you?

1039
00:46:06,101 --> 00:46:08,267
I thought you were
my shrewd little manager.

1040
00:46:08,301 --> 00:46:10,401
I've changed my point of view.

1041
00:46:10,434 --> 00:46:12,900
I thought we'd get to Africa
and you'd make your fortune

1042
00:46:12,934 --> 00:46:14,533
and everything
would be wonderful.

1043
00:46:14,734 --> 00:46:17,633
But now I think
it's all too risky.

1044
00:46:17,667 --> 00:46:19,468
Too many things can happen.

1045
00:46:19,500 --> 00:46:21,301
I want us to cut
and run for it. Right now.

1046
00:46:21,401 --> 00:46:23,034
You really mean that?
With all my heart.

1047
00:46:23,067 --> 00:46:24,800
Oh, no, that's impossible.

1048
00:46:24,834 --> 00:46:26,267
Why?
Well, for one thing,

1049
00:46:26,567 --> 00:46:28,067
Mrs. Dannreuther
might not go for the idea.

1050
00:46:28,301 --> 00:46:30,001
She's not quite
as sophisticated as you are.

1051
00:46:30,034 --> 00:46:31,767
Please, Billy, listen to me.

1052
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,034
I've thought it all out.

1053
00:46:33,067 --> 00:46:34,434
We'll take the bus and-

1054
00:46:34,468 --> 00:46:36,101
And catch an express
for somewhere-

1055
00:46:36,234 --> 00:46:38,867
No, no, the shot's not
on the table.

1056
00:46:38,900 --> 00:46:40,633
You're not in love
the way I am.

1057
00:46:41,101 --> 00:46:42,934
If I loved you a thousand times
more than you say you love me,

1058
00:46:42,967 --> 00:46:44,667
it still wouldn't make
any difference.

1059
00:46:44,700 --> 00:46:46,167
I've got to have money.

1060
00:46:46,434 --> 00:46:48,167
Doctor's orders are that I must
have a lot of money,

1061
00:46:48,201 --> 00:46:50,001
otherwise I become dull,
listless

1062
00:46:50,034 --> 00:46:51,734
and have trouble
with my complexion.

1063
00:46:52,067 --> 00:46:54,001
But you're not like that now
and you haven't any money.

1064
00:46:54,034 --> 00:46:56,234
It's my expectations
that hold me together.

1065
00:46:57,767 --> 00:46:59,434
You really mean that,
don't you, darling?

1066
00:46:59,468 --> 00:47:00,800
Sure I mean it.

1067
00:47:00,967 --> 00:47:02,867
And your main reason
for wanting lots of money

1068
00:47:02,900 --> 00:47:04,533
is so that you'll be
ever so attractive

1069
00:47:04,567 --> 00:47:05,800
and I'll love you more and more.

1070
00:47:05,834 --> 00:47:08,001
That's right, baby.

1071
00:47:08,034 --> 00:47:09,434
I'll help you, Billy.

1072
00:47:09,468 --> 00:47:10,468
I can too.

1073
00:47:10,500 --> 00:47:12,800
I'm something of a witch.

1074
00:47:12,834 --> 00:47:15,368
My old Spanish nurse said I
could have been a professional.

1075
00:47:15,401 --> 00:47:18,567
Well, don't look now, but
they're raising the gangway.

1076
00:47:32,234 --> 00:47:33,967
Sea air, ozone.

1077
00:47:34,001 --> 00:47:35,734
What a pity we can't bottle it,
gentlemen.

1078
00:47:35,767 --> 00:47:37,401
What a fortune we'd make.

1079
00:47:37,434 --> 00:47:38,800
Neptune's mixture.

1080
00:47:38,834 --> 00:47:40,533
Now, breathe deeply.

1081
00:47:40,667 --> 00:47:43,067
Remember, every breath is
a guinea in the bank of health.

1082
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:50,734
Good morning, Chelm.

1083
00:47:52,234 --> 00:47:54,401
Why, that's good.
Very good indeed.

1084
00:47:54,434 --> 00:47:56,633
I didn't know you were
an artist, Mrs. Dannreuther.

1085
00:47:56,667 --> 00:47:58,667
I'd hardly call myself that.

1086
00:47:58,700 --> 00:48:00,267
I only dabble.

1087
00:48:00,301 --> 00:48:02,001
The nose
is not enough long.

1088
00:48:02,034 --> 00:48:03,368
The ears are too small.

1089
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:04,468
Only has one eye.

1090
00:48:04,900 --> 00:48:05,900
Come along, gentlemen,

1091
00:48:05,934 --> 00:48:08,500
we must not dawdle.

1092
00:48:08,533 --> 00:48:10,101
* Blow the man down, bully

1093
00:48:10,134 --> 00:48:11,967
* Blow the man down

1094
00:48:12,001 --> 00:48:15,368
* Blow, blow
Blow the man down *

1095
00:48:15,401 --> 00:48:18,834
* Blow the man down, bully
Blow the man down *

1096
00:48:18,867 --> 00:48:22,101
Good morning, Mrs. Chelm.
Let's hope she breaks her neck.

1097
00:48:22,134 --> 00:48:25,267
* Blow the man down, bully
Blow the man down *

1098
00:48:25,301 --> 00:48:27,167
* Blow the man down, bully

1099
00:48:27,201 --> 00:48:32,600
* Blow the man down
Blow, blow, blow the man down *

1100
00:48:32,633 --> 00:48:36,067
* Blow the man down, bully
Blow the man down *

1101
00:48:36,101 --> 00:48:39,368
* Give me some time
To blow the man down *

1102
00:48:39,401 --> 00:48:42,001
Mr. Peterson.
Mr. Peterson.

1103
00:48:42,034 --> 00:48:43,500
A radiogram.

1104
00:48:59,468 --> 00:49:02,567
"No Chelm estate
Gloucestershire. Stop.

1105
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,134
No landed gentry Chelm."

1106
00:49:05,167 --> 00:49:06,667
What do you make of that?

1107
00:49:06,700 --> 00:49:08,301
He's not
a Gloucestershire squire.

1108
00:49:08,334 --> 00:49:09,700
Like Billy said.

1109
00:49:09,967 --> 00:49:12,667
Just as I was beginning to take
Billy at his face value.

1110
00:49:12,700 --> 00:49:16,267
Yes, but if he is not what Billy
said, then- Then what is he?

1111
00:49:16,301 --> 00:49:19,667
We are at sea again, gentlemen.
In more ways than one.

1112
00:49:19,700 --> 00:49:21,434
Mystery.
More mystery.

1113
00:49:21,468 --> 00:49:22,867
Billy is a liar.

1114
00:49:22,900 --> 00:49:25,034
Heaven only knows what Chelm is.

1115
00:49:25,067 --> 00:49:26,301
CID, maybe?

1116
00:49:26,334 --> 00:49:27,767
You borrowed my thought.

1117
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,633
What to do? What to do?

1118
00:49:29,667 --> 00:49:31,700
The time has come
for direct action.

1119
00:49:31,734 --> 00:49:34,167
Do you remember last night
when we came onboard,

1120
00:49:34,201 --> 00:49:37,234
the fuss he was making
about his dispatch box?

1121
00:49:47,900 --> 00:49:50,001
I love colors.

1122
00:49:50,034 --> 00:49:53,767
Working with them
is an endless puzzle.

1123
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:55,401
Your face, for instance.

1124
00:49:55,434 --> 00:49:59,600
Ten minutes ago
it was all brown and pink.

1125
00:49:59,633 --> 00:50:03,533
Now the light has changed
and it's chalky white.

1126
00:50:05,001 --> 00:50:06,234
What?

1127
00:50:06,301 --> 00:50:09,401
Tinged with green.

1128
00:50:09,434 --> 00:50:10,500
Green?

1129
00:50:12,468 --> 00:50:14,201
It must be getting rough.

1130
00:50:14,234 --> 00:50:15,767
Just a little.

1131
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,468
Don't break the pose.

1132
00:50:18,500 --> 00:50:19,700
I don't feel very well.

1133
00:50:20,001 --> 00:50:22,334
I think I'll go below
and take a pill.

1134
00:50:27,567 --> 00:50:29,700
It's incredible.
Harry Chelm is just-

1135
00:50:29,734 --> 00:50:31,334
Just Harry Chelm.
Nothing. Nobody.

1136
00:50:31,368 --> 00:50:33,034
A ruddy refugee
from Earls Court.

1137
00:50:33,067 --> 00:50:35,134
With a hot water bottle.
Look.

1138
00:50:35,167 --> 00:50:36,368
And a letter of introduction

1139
00:50:36,667 --> 00:50:38,101
to the secretary
of the governor.

1140
00:50:38,134 --> 00:50:40,867
The secretary, mind you,
disgusting.

1141
00:50:41,967 --> 00:50:43,934
Purser, my box.

1142
00:50:43,967 --> 00:50:45,934
Uh, a bit up and down,
isn't it, sir?

1143
00:50:45,967 --> 00:50:46,967
It's gone.

1144
00:50:47,001 --> 00:50:48,001
Oh, yes, indeed.

1145
00:50:48,034 --> 00:50:49,301
Major Ross took it.

1146
00:50:49,500 --> 00:50:51,368
I saw him sneak it
out of your cabin.

1147
00:50:51,401 --> 00:50:53,567
I like to keep my eye on what
goes on aboard the ship.

1148
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:54,667
Where did he take it?

1149
00:50:55,034 --> 00:50:56,368
I believe,
Mr. Peterson's cabin.

1150
00:50:56,401 --> 00:50:58,533
In fact, I'm sure.

1151
00:51:04,500 --> 00:51:05,500
Ah.

1152
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,001
Now, may I ask what explanation
you have to offer?

1153
00:51:14,834 --> 00:51:17,234
He forgot
his hot water bottle.

1154
00:51:21,767 --> 00:51:23,767
Billy.
Come in.

1155
00:51:25,567 --> 00:51:27,167
Billy, have you heard
what's happened?

1156
00:51:27,201 --> 00:51:28,900
Haven't seen
a paper in days.

1157
00:51:28,934 --> 00:51:30,101
It's not funny.

1158
00:51:30,267 --> 00:51:32,967
They've stolen
Harry's dispatch box.

1159
00:51:33,001 --> 00:51:34,468
Who stole his dispatch box?

1160
00:51:34,500 --> 00:51:36,034
That dreadful little major.

1161
00:51:36,201 --> 00:51:38,401
He took it to Peterson.
They went through it.

1162
00:51:38,434 --> 00:51:39,600
Well, it's all your fault.

1163
00:51:39,967 --> 00:51:41,101
I suppose you know that.
My fault?

1164
00:51:41,301 --> 00:51:42,734
The poppycock
you've been peddling.

1165
00:51:43,201 --> 00:51:45,201
All that junk about
the Chelm interests in London.

1166
00:51:45,234 --> 00:51:47,001
Uranium on your land.

1167
00:51:47,034 --> 00:51:49,434
Well, in a way,
you're the one to blame.

1168
00:51:49,468 --> 00:51:50,533
I'm the-?

1169
00:51:50,633 --> 00:51:53,067
I mean, you acted
so superior.

1170
00:51:53,101 --> 00:51:55,967
I was falling in love with you,
and I- I couldn't bear it

1171
00:51:56,001 --> 00:51:57,500
for you to think
I was just a nobody

1172
00:51:58,101 --> 00:52:00,800
married to the son of
a boardinghouse in Earls Court.

1173
00:52:00,834 --> 00:52:03,267
The- The son of a what?

1174
00:52:03,301 --> 00:52:04,967
A boardinghouse.

1175
00:52:05,001 --> 00:52:06,700
That's what
Harry's parents do.

1176
00:52:06,967 --> 00:52:10,101
They run a boardinghouse
for decayed gentlefolk.

1177
00:52:10,134 --> 00:52:12,401
Well, but the way he talks,
the way he acts. I thought-

1178
00:52:12,434 --> 00:52:14,500
It's just that he sees
himself in a place

1179
00:52:14,533 --> 00:52:17,034
in the west country
with trout streams and horses,

1180
00:52:17,067 --> 00:52:19,567
leading the life
of a country squire.

1181
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,734
It's not his fault if people
take it for granted

1182
00:52:21,767 --> 00:52:23,134
that he has a place like that.

1183
00:52:23,267 --> 00:52:24,767
He's never once said
that he had.

1184
00:52:24,934 --> 00:52:26,600
Well, country gent,
son of a boardinghouse,

1185
00:52:26,633 --> 00:52:27,767
or whatever he is,

1186
00:52:28,101 --> 00:52:29,600
I suppose I'd better
get his box back.

1187
00:52:29,633 --> 00:52:30,834
Oh, he got it back himself.

1188
00:52:31,101 --> 00:52:32,301
Well, then,
there's no harm done.

1189
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,101
Except that Harry's gone
to the captain.

1190
00:52:34,134 --> 00:52:36,500
He's going to have them
put in irons.

1191
00:52:36,533 --> 00:52:38,067
He is what?

1192
00:52:38,101 --> 00:52:40,301
He says that's what they did
in the Royal Marines.

1193
00:52:40,434 --> 00:52:42,767
Look here, skipper, there's
a perfectly simple explanation

1194
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:43,900
for all this.

1195
00:52:43,934 --> 00:52:45,368
I happen to own a dispatch box

1196
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,167
which is very similar
to Mr. Chelm's.

1197
00:52:47,201 --> 00:52:48,633
When I didn't find it
in my cabin,

1198
00:52:49,234 --> 00:52:50,667
I asked Major Ross to see
if it had been stowed away

1199
00:52:50,700 --> 00:52:52,167
somewhere else by mistake.

1200
00:52:52,368 --> 00:52:53,867
The major found
what he thought was my box

1201
00:52:54,101 --> 00:52:55,867
in the saloon
with some other luggage.

1202
00:52:55,900 --> 00:52:58,267
The box has been in my cabin
ever since we sailed.

1203
00:52:58,301 --> 00:52:59,767
Under the berth.

1204
00:52:59,967 --> 00:53:01,700
As soon as I saw the box,
of course I realized at once

1205
00:53:01,734 --> 00:53:03,034
that it wasn't mine.

1206
00:53:03,368 --> 00:53:05,101
I simply opened it to find out
to whom it belonged

1207
00:53:05,267 --> 00:53:07,401
so that I could return it
to its rightful owner.

1208
00:53:07,434 --> 00:53:09,633
I can't conceive why
this gentleman should imagine

1209
00:53:09,867 --> 00:53:12,600
I should be interested in a box
containing patent medicines.

1210
00:53:12,633 --> 00:53:14,401
Heh. I-
I'm not a hypochondriac.

1211
00:53:16,101 --> 00:53:19,167
Purser, tell the captain exactly
what you told me about the box.

1212
00:53:19,201 --> 00:53:21,867
Why, sir, you asked me
whether I'd seen it

1213
00:53:21,900 --> 00:53:23,301
and I said
it might be the one

1214
00:53:23,867 --> 00:53:25,834
I had seen being carried along
the passage by Major Ross.

1215
00:53:25,867 --> 00:53:27,167
You distinctly told me

1216
00:53:27,401 --> 00:53:29,034
that you'd seen it being taken
from my cabin.

1217
00:53:29,067 --> 00:53:32,034
Oh, you must have
misunderstood.

1218
00:53:32,067 --> 00:53:34,533
You were rather ill at the time,
if you remember, sir.

1219
00:53:34,567 --> 00:53:36,468
That's all, purser.

1220
00:53:36,500 --> 00:53:39,934
He's been bribed. He's in league
with these criminals.

1221
00:53:39,967 --> 00:53:42,234
Just a case
of a misunderstanding.

1222
00:53:42,267 --> 00:53:43,767
That's how I look at it.

1223
00:53:44,134 --> 00:53:46,967
Now, what about a little cognac
to wash away any ill feeling?

1224
00:53:47,001 --> 00:53:48,468
No, I don't care
for a drink.

1225
00:53:48,667 --> 00:53:50,334
And this matter is far
from settled.

1226
00:53:50,368 --> 00:53:52,600
While rifling through
my personal effects,

1227
00:53:52,633 --> 00:53:54,800
you must've noticed
I had a letter of introduction

1228
00:53:54,834 --> 00:53:56,334
to the secretary
of the governor.

1229
00:53:56,934 --> 00:53:59,001
I suspect he'll be much more
interested in what I have to say

1230
00:53:59,034 --> 00:54:01,368
than this gin-soaked,
so-called ship's captain.

1231
00:54:01,401 --> 00:54:02,700
You mind your tongue!

1232
00:54:03,034 --> 00:54:05,533
Anymore insults, you're the one
I put in irons!

1233
00:54:08,234 --> 00:54:12,134
As far as I am concerned,
this is a closed incident.

1234
00:54:14,967 --> 00:54:17,134
You've got your box back.

1235
00:54:17,167 --> 00:54:18,767
Why not forget
the whole thing?

1236
00:54:19,267 --> 00:54:21,101
What interest do you expect
the Colonial Office to take-?

1237
00:54:21,267 --> 00:54:23,667
On the contrary, I expect them
to take a considerable interest

1238
00:54:23,700 --> 00:54:25,900
in a gang of crooks who are
trying to swindle a country

1239
00:54:25,934 --> 00:54:27,767
out of vast uranium deposits.

1240
00:54:36,134 --> 00:54:38,267
Just one moment, sir.

1241
00:54:38,301 --> 00:54:39,700
What leads you to believe-

1242
00:54:40,101 --> 00:54:42,800
This gentleman obviously hasn't
seen fit to inform you

1243
00:54:42,834 --> 00:54:44,334
that during
your supposed demise,

1244
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,134
he attempted to lure me
into your nefarious venture.

1245
00:54:47,167 --> 00:54:48,900
Unfortunately for you,
he acquainted me

1246
00:54:48,934 --> 00:54:50,401
with all the pertinent facts.

1247
00:54:50,434 --> 00:54:52,001
Facts which I intend
to communicate

1248
00:54:52,434 --> 00:54:55,967
to the proper authority at
the very earliest opportunity.

1249
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:59,134
I thought you were dead.
That's what they told me.

1250
00:54:59,167 --> 00:55:00,600
Everyone told me you were dead.

1251
00:55:00,633 --> 00:55:01,900
And if you were dead,

1252
00:55:02,267 --> 00:55:04,500
we had to have fresh capital,
heh, didn't we?

1253
00:55:04,533 --> 00:55:07,533
You, Ravello,
my own partner,

1254
00:55:07,567 --> 00:55:11,034
sneak up behind my back and-
And try to cheat me.

1255
00:55:11,067 --> 00:55:13,101
The milk's spilt.
It's no good crying over it.

1256
00:55:13,334 --> 00:55:15,533
Get after him, Billy.
Calm him down. Talk to him.

1257
00:55:15,567 --> 00:55:17,600
See if you can't get him
to change his attitude.

1258
00:55:17,734 --> 00:55:19,900
I'll try, but I don't think
it'll do any good.

1259
00:55:19,934 --> 00:55:22,267
I don't know why we have to
worry about Chelm's attitude.

1260
00:55:22,301 --> 00:55:23,434
Talk's no good.

1261
00:55:23,700 --> 00:55:25,134
Conversation never
convinced anybody.

1262
00:55:25,167 --> 00:55:26,267
I say, put an end
to words.

1263
00:55:26,301 --> 00:55:27,500
Shut up, Jack.

1264
00:55:27,633 --> 00:55:29,767
Time factor has entered
the picture again.

1265
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,267
This time, fortunately,
it's working on our side.

1266
00:55:32,301 --> 00:55:34,334
Two weeks before we reach port,

1267
00:55:34,368 --> 00:55:37,600
that should be plenty of time
to convince our friend Chelm.

1268
00:55:37,633 --> 00:55:41,468
I beg you,
please end all this trouble.

1269
00:55:41,500 --> 00:55:42,633
If things go on,

1270
00:55:42,867 --> 00:55:44,101
either you will be
done away with

1271
00:55:44,134 --> 00:55:45,633
before we ever get to Africa,

1272
00:55:46,134 --> 00:55:48,500
or you will live and denounce
Peterson to the authorities

1273
00:55:48,533 --> 00:55:52,301
and that will be the ruin
of all my plans and hopes.

1274
00:55:52,334 --> 00:55:53,934
In the long run
you'll do much better

1275
00:55:53,967 --> 00:55:55,167
to get clear of these people.

1276
00:55:55,368 --> 00:55:56,600
They're thoroughly undesirable.

1277
00:55:56,834 --> 00:56:00,234
The long run.
I'm tired of the long run.

1278
00:56:00,267 --> 00:56:04,001
I am not even thinking
about them or about myself.

1279
00:56:04,034 --> 00:56:07,167
It's only you
that concerns me, Harry.

1280
00:56:07,201 --> 00:56:08,900
No need to worry
about me.

1281
00:56:08,934 --> 00:56:13,500
Ever since I met you,
you fill my thinking.

1282
00:56:13,533 --> 00:56:16,767
You are becoming an obsession.

1283
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,234
Don't you understand, Harry?

1284
00:56:19,267 --> 00:56:23,334
I am deeply in love.

1285
00:56:23,368 --> 00:56:24,633
Maria.

1286
00:56:26,633 --> 00:56:27,900
My dear.

1287
00:56:40,067 --> 00:56:44,067
Only you could make
a woman feel like this.

1288
00:56:44,101 --> 00:56:49,700
All I want is to be
in your arms, now and always.

1289
00:56:49,734 --> 00:56:51,500
You forget I'm going
to be done away with.

1290
00:56:51,533 --> 00:56:52,567
Oh, no, no.

1291
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:54,167
It will be easy to arrange.

1292
00:56:54,201 --> 00:56:55,700
What you must do is this:

1293
00:56:55,734 --> 00:56:57,633
You will write me a letter.

1294
00:56:57,667 --> 00:56:59,201
A love letter.

1295
00:56:59,234 --> 00:57:01,468
You will tell me that you cannot
denounce Peterson

1296
00:57:01,500 --> 00:57:04,734
because then I will suffer too.

1297
00:57:04,767 --> 00:57:07,034
Because you love me so much,

1298
00:57:07,067 --> 00:57:09,867
you cannot bear to hurt me.

1299
00:57:09,900 --> 00:57:11,234
Such a letter they will believe,

1300
00:57:11,267 --> 00:57:13,201
if I show it to them.

1301
00:57:13,234 --> 00:57:14,368
My dear girl, you must see

1302
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:16,034
that this is quite
out of the question.

1303
00:57:16,201 --> 00:57:18,201
I don't propose
to make compromises.

1304
00:57:18,234 --> 00:57:21,101
Not compromises,
Harry, darling.

1305
00:57:21,134 --> 00:57:23,001
But you can see
if you cause trouble,

1306
00:57:23,034 --> 00:57:27,600
the whole of our plans,
my plans...

1307
00:57:27,633 --> 00:57:31,900
You would not want to make
the innocent suffer.

1308
00:57:31,934 --> 00:57:34,201
It would be much better
if you don't interfere, Maria.

1309
00:57:34,234 --> 00:57:36,401
I must handle this
as I see fit.

1310
00:57:36,434 --> 00:57:38,934
Then you intend to go ahead
with this business,

1311
00:57:38,967 --> 00:57:41,101
tell stories
and ruin everything?

1312
00:57:41,134 --> 00:57:43,401
It'll be much better if you cut
loose from these people.

1313
00:57:43,434 --> 00:57:45,500
No happiness can come
from such an association.

1314
00:57:45,533 --> 00:57:48,401
Harry, I'm asking you
not to do this.

1315
00:57:48,434 --> 00:57:51,334
Please write the letter,
then there will be no trouble

1316
00:57:51,368 --> 00:57:52,700
for you, no trouble for us.

1317
00:57:52,734 --> 00:57:54,867
No risk when we get to Africa.

1318
00:57:54,900 --> 00:57:56,267
I'm sorry, my dear,

1319
00:57:56,301 --> 00:57:58,067
we English are
a very pigheaded lot.

1320
00:57:58,101 --> 00:58:00,101
You think you can get away
with this?

1321
00:58:00,134 --> 00:58:02,567
But, Maria, my dear,
good Maria, listen.

1322
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,867
First you make love to me, now
you tell me you will ruin me.

1323
00:58:05,900 --> 00:58:08,067
Heh. You'll forgive me,
but it was you who made, uh-

1324
00:58:08,101 --> 00:58:09,334
Oh, shut your trap!

1325
00:58:09,368 --> 00:58:11,001
Go on, do what you like.

1326
00:58:11,034 --> 00:58:12,900
You think you're such
a brave man.

1327
00:58:12,934 --> 00:58:15,101
I'll tell you what you are.

1328
00:58:15,134 --> 00:58:17,334
You are a heel.

1329
00:58:17,368 --> 00:58:18,734
Huh!

1330
00:58:18,767 --> 00:58:20,434
What the blazes now?

1331
00:58:20,468 --> 00:58:22,567
What's happening?
What's going on here?

1332
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,600
Oil pump's on the blink.
Electricity's failed.

1333
00:58:24,633 --> 00:58:26,600
Utter folly, a ship lying
in darkness this way.

1334
00:58:26,633 --> 00:58:28,234
We might well be rammed
at any minute.

1335
00:58:28,700 --> 00:58:30,567
I'll attend to this myself.
Which way is the engine room?

1336
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:32,201
The passengers are not
permitted to-

1337
00:58:32,234 --> 00:58:33,734
I'm sure your chief engineer

1338
00:58:34,201 --> 00:58:36,234
would welcome the advice of an
ex-officer of the Royal Marines.

1339
00:58:51,401 --> 00:58:52,434
Look here, you fool.

1340
00:58:52,767 --> 00:58:54,034
Are we simply abandoned
to our fate?

1341
00:58:54,167 --> 00:58:55,468
I insist on something
being done.

1342
00:58:55,867 --> 00:58:57,368
For instance?
Well, give out the life belts.

1343
00:58:57,401 --> 00:58:59,167
Organize the boat drill.

1344
00:58:59,201 --> 00:59:01,767
The clientele are requested
to remain calm.

1345
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,434
To remain calm. Did the captain
feel no sense of responsibility

1346
00:59:04,468 --> 00:59:05,900
for the lives of his passengers?

1347
00:59:06,067 --> 00:59:07,368
It's my opinion
that the captain

1348
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,167
doesn't feel much of anything
at the moment.

1349
00:59:09,301 --> 00:59:10,867
You mean to say he's drunk?

1350
00:59:11,067 --> 00:59:12,867
The fellow ought to be made
to walk the plank.

1351
00:59:12,900 --> 00:59:14,700
I'm afraid just now
he cannot walk at all.

1352
00:59:14,934 --> 00:59:16,700
But this is outrageous-
Oh, sit down, old man.

1353
00:59:16,734 --> 00:59:18,301
What have you got
to worry about?

1354
00:59:18,700 --> 00:59:20,667
We're only adrift in an open sea
with a drunken captain

1355
00:59:20,700 --> 00:59:22,967
and an engine that's liable
to explode at any moment.

1356
00:59:23,001 --> 00:59:24,967
Perfectly ordinary situation.

1357
00:59:25,001 --> 00:59:26,401
Happens every day.

1358
00:59:26,700 --> 00:59:29,800
But just in case any of you are
still at all anxious,

1359
00:59:29,834 --> 00:59:31,468
let it be known that Mr. Chelm

1360
00:59:31,500 --> 00:59:33,401
has taken charge
in the engine room.

1361
00:59:33,434 --> 00:59:35,334
Who's taken charge?

1362
00:59:35,368 --> 00:59:37,767
Harry, and he'll foozle it
for sure.

1363
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:39,401
Shall I get out the hymnbooks?

1364
00:59:39,734 --> 00:59:42,234
Your husband claims to have
learned all the about engines

1365
00:59:42,267 --> 00:59:45,500
and such things when he was
an officer in the Royal Marines.

1366
00:59:45,533 --> 00:59:46,967
If he ever was.

1367
00:59:47,001 --> 00:59:49,267
In point of fact,
not only was he an officer,

1368
00:59:49,301 --> 00:59:51,434
but he once won a medal
for jumping into a sea

1369
00:59:51,468 --> 00:59:53,067
of fire to rescue someone.

1370
00:59:53,101 --> 00:59:55,234
It was only a bit of wreckage
and not a man,

1371
00:59:55,267 --> 00:59:56,800
but that wasn't
Harry's fault.

1372
00:59:56,967 --> 00:59:58,734
Just a slight error
in judgment.

1373
01:00:01,633 --> 01:00:03,934
The lights. They come on.

1374
01:00:03,967 --> 01:00:05,667
He must have fixed it.

1375
01:00:05,700 --> 01:00:06,734
Impossible.

1376
01:00:06,900 --> 01:00:08,001
The engines are turning.

1377
01:00:08,034 --> 01:00:09,234
We're under way.

1378
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:10,867
I still say it's impossible.

1379
01:00:12,700 --> 01:00:14,700
Uh, ladies and, uh, gentlemen,

1380
01:00:14,734 --> 01:00:16,434
may I have your attention
for a moment.

1381
01:00:16,567 --> 01:00:18,134
I'm happy to inform you
that the oil pump

1382
01:00:18,234 --> 01:00:19,767
is now in perfect
working condition.

1383
01:00:20,001 --> 01:00:21,667
Putting it right
was no great accomplishment

1384
01:00:21,700 --> 01:00:23,734
for anyone with
the slightest mechanical bent.

1385
01:00:23,767 --> 01:00:25,767
Anyhow, we may now proceed
without further delay

1386
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,101
and in absolute safety.

1387
01:00:29,468 --> 01:00:32,334
Oh, Harry, you did, you did,
you foozled it.

1388
01:00:32,368 --> 01:00:34,101
The pig who wrecked the ship!

1389
01:00:34,334 --> 01:00:35,800
Where is he?!
I'll tear out his gizzard!

1390
01:00:36,301 --> 01:00:38,834
Mr. Chelm, forward, please.
The captain wants to see you.

1391
01:00:38,867 --> 01:00:40,867
There you are. You devil.

1392
01:00:40,900 --> 01:00:42,167
You wreck my beautiful ship!

1393
01:00:42,201 --> 01:00:43,368
Nothing of the sort.

1394
01:00:43,667 --> 01:00:45,334
Some scalawag down there
sabotaged my work

1395
01:00:45,368 --> 01:00:46,767
out of pure malice!

1396
01:00:47,034 --> 01:00:49,001
You explode my engine! I break
your bones, I kill you!

1397
01:00:49,234 --> 01:00:51,533
Keep your heads, boys. Let's
behave like little gentlemen.

1398
01:00:51,567 --> 01:00:53,834
Stay out of this, Dannreuther.
I can handle the brute.

1399
01:00:53,867 --> 01:00:54,900
Let me at him.

1400
01:00:55,001 --> 01:00:56,034
What happens now?

1401
01:00:56,067 --> 01:00:58,167
Do we get the life belts?

1402
01:00:58,201 --> 01:00:59,934
Do we abandon the ship?

1403
01:00:59,967 --> 01:01:01,600
There's no immediate danger.

1404
01:01:01,767 --> 01:01:03,834
The passengers will please
to return to the saloon.

1405
01:01:03,967 --> 01:01:06,368
We are heading for the nearest
port and there seems to be

1406
01:01:06,401 --> 01:01:08,533
some chance of our making it.

1407
01:01:08,567 --> 01:01:10,334
Great. Let's go.

1408
01:01:13,234 --> 01:01:14,468
Come along.

1409
01:01:18,167 --> 01:01:19,201
Now, who was last down?

1410
01:01:19,234 --> 01:01:20,234
Blast.

1411
01:01:23,834 --> 01:01:26,167
Billy-Boy, be a good fellow
and make a fourth for Bridge.

1412
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:27,900
The major has no head
for cards.

1413
01:01:27,934 --> 01:01:29,633
A few rubbers
will soothe all our nerves.

1414
01:01:29,667 --> 01:01:30,900
No, thank you.

1415
01:01:31,067 --> 01:01:32,600
I'll soothe mine
with a double Scotch.

1416
01:01:32,734 --> 01:01:34,101
In fact, I think
I'll make it a triple.

1417
01:01:34,134 --> 01:01:35,201
No ice, no water.

1418
01:01:35,334 --> 01:01:36,301
Right, sir.

1419
01:01:36,633 --> 01:01:37,734
How about you,
Mrs. Dannreuther?

1420
01:01:37,767 --> 01:01:38,800
A little Bridge?

1421
01:01:38,834 --> 01:01:40,201
Oh, so sorry.

1422
01:01:40,234 --> 01:01:42,633
I have the most
fearful headache.

1423
01:01:42,667 --> 01:01:44,334
I think
I'll go to my cabin.

1424
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:49,067
Oh, what a shame.

1425
01:01:49,500 --> 01:01:51,234
Well, boys, we'll have
to make it cutthroat.

1426
01:01:51,267 --> 01:01:53,834
What about Harry, here?
Maybe he'll take a hand.

1427
01:01:53,867 --> 01:01:57,101
That, under the circumstances,
is a most unsuitable suggestion.

1428
01:01:57,134 --> 01:01:59,533
Gwendolen, I must ask you
to either move to another table

1429
01:01:59,567 --> 01:02:00,900
or else leave the saloon.

1430
01:02:00,934 --> 01:02:02,900
Oh, Harry, for heaven's sake.

1431
01:02:02,934 --> 01:02:04,500
I don't care for my wife
to associate

1432
01:02:04,533 --> 01:02:05,834
with an associate of criminals.

1433
01:02:05,867 --> 01:02:06,834
Don't be absurd.

1434
01:02:06,867 --> 01:02:08,334
Billy's not a criminal.

1435
01:02:08,368 --> 01:02:10,401
He's the best friend
we have on this boat.

1436
01:02:10,434 --> 01:02:12,434
Well, we are not in need
of such friends.

1437
01:02:12,468 --> 01:02:14,301
You need any friends
you can get.

1438
01:02:14,334 --> 01:02:15,934
The only thing
standing between you

1439
01:02:16,067 --> 01:02:17,700
and a watery grave
is your wits,

1440
01:02:17,867 --> 01:02:20,101
and that's not my idea
of adequate protection.

1441
01:02:20,134 --> 01:02:22,934
Purser, how much longer
before this ship reaches port?

1442
01:02:22,967 --> 01:02:24,767
If we ever do get to port,
it should be

1443
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,001
within 14 or 15 hours.

1444
01:02:27,034 --> 01:02:28,401
That's a long time.

1445
01:02:28,667 --> 01:02:30,001
Sit down,
make yourself comfortable.

1446
01:02:30,034 --> 01:02:31,234
Have a drink.

1447
01:02:31,334 --> 01:02:33,600
Enjoy the major's
piano recital.

1448
01:02:33,633 --> 01:02:35,600
Come on, Peterson,
buy us a drink.

1449
01:02:35,867 --> 01:02:38,267
I'm afraid I can't accept
hospitality from persons who

1450
01:02:38,301 --> 01:02:41,600
I intend in a few hours time to
denounce in a place of justice.

1451
01:02:41,633 --> 01:02:43,034
Two spades.

1452
01:02:43,067 --> 01:02:45,800
I admire your sang-froid,
Mr. Peterson,

1453
01:02:45,834 --> 01:02:47,633
or perhaps you don't think
I'm serious.

1454
01:02:47,667 --> 01:02:48,934
We shall see.

1455
01:02:49,867 --> 01:02:50,900
Three clubs.

1456
01:02:52,468 --> 01:02:54,767
Gwendolen, are you going
to do as I say?

1457
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,368
Not when you speak to me
in that tone.

1458
01:02:56,468 --> 01:02:58,101
Not when you try
to order me about.

1459
01:02:58,134 --> 01:02:59,201
In that case...

1460
01:02:59,401 --> 01:03:00,567
Where are you going?

1461
01:03:00,900 --> 01:03:02,533
On deck, where the air
is less polluted.

1462
01:03:08,334 --> 01:03:10,401
Purser. Four tonics.

1463
01:03:10,434 --> 01:03:12,134
I think you'd better
go after Harry.

1464
01:03:12,167 --> 01:03:13,468
Why should I?

1465
01:03:13,633 --> 01:03:15,567
If he's going to be
so childish and unreasonable.

1466
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:19,101
Take my advice. Go to him.
Stay with him.

1467
01:03:19,134 --> 01:03:21,401
I suppose you think
we should keep up appearances.

1468
01:03:21,434 --> 01:03:24,067
The loyal wife
at her husband's side.

1469
01:03:24,101 --> 01:03:25,468
No, Billy.

1470
01:03:25,633 --> 01:03:28,600
I'm experiencing something
that is rare and beautiful.

1471
01:03:28,633 --> 01:03:31,633
And I shall not deny it,
either by word or by deed.

1472
01:03:31,667 --> 01:03:32,667
I love you.

1473
01:03:32,700 --> 01:03:34,267
Let the whole world know it.

1474
01:03:34,301 --> 01:03:35,734
I love you. I love you.

1475
01:03:36,134 --> 01:03:38,834
Well, keeping up appearances
isn't exactly what I meant.

1476
01:03:38,867 --> 01:03:41,101
Then why do you want to send me
tagging after Harry?

1477
01:03:41,134 --> 01:03:42,734
He's being such
a deadly bore tonight.

1478
01:03:42,767 --> 01:03:45,368
Deadly, but not dead.
Not yet.

1479
01:03:45,401 --> 01:03:46,434
What do you mean?

1480
01:03:46,734 --> 01:03:47,867
They killed one man
just because

1481
01:03:48,334 --> 01:03:49,734
they thought he might try
to get in their way.

1482
01:03:49,900 --> 01:03:51,434
Now handsome Harry here
is threatening

1483
01:03:51,567 --> 01:03:53,101
to blow the whole thing
wide open.

1484
01:03:53,134 --> 01:03:54,734
- They killed a man?
- Uh-huh.

1485
01:03:54,767 --> 01:03:56,767
Really. Who?

1486
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,633
Oh, just a man.

1487
01:03:59,667 --> 01:04:02,567
Well, for all Harry's
being too, too tiresome

1488
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:04,633
and my loving you
to distraction,

1489
01:04:04,667 --> 01:04:08,001
I- I still wouldn't want
to see him done in.

1490
01:04:08,034 --> 01:04:10,533
He has some perfectly darling
traits, really.

1491
01:04:10,567 --> 01:04:13,800
I mean, like always
remembering one's birthday.

1492
01:04:13,834 --> 01:04:16,267
No, we simply mustn't
let anybody murder Harry.

1493
01:04:16,301 --> 01:04:18,767
Then keep him in your cabin.
Never let him out of your sight.

1494
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,034
Keep him under lock and key.

1495
01:04:22,468 --> 01:04:23,834
Oh, Billy.

1496
01:04:23,867 --> 01:04:25,401
That awful music.

1497
01:04:25,434 --> 01:04:28,334
It's so loud.
It comes right into our cabin.

1498
01:04:28,368 --> 01:04:32,201
Peterson, tell the major
to soft-pedal it.

1499
01:04:32,234 --> 01:04:34,368
And while he's about it,
he might change the tune.

1500
01:04:34,401 --> 01:04:36,334
Oh, don't you like it?
It's one of my favorites.

1501
01:04:36,368 --> 01:04:38,834
I'm afraid he doesn't know
any others.

1502
01:04:38,867 --> 01:04:40,867
Do you, Jack?

1503
01:04:48,934 --> 01:04:49,967
Major.

1504
01:05:20,500 --> 01:05:22,001
Do I hear a lady screaming?

1505
01:05:23,034 --> 01:05:24,368
One down.

1506
01:05:27,633 --> 01:05:30,600
Captain, captain!

1507
01:05:44,633 --> 01:05:46,067
What happened?

1508
01:05:46,101 --> 01:05:47,633
Oh, Billy, all that screaming.

1509
01:05:47,667 --> 01:05:49,134
I thought someone
had been killed.

1510
01:05:49,167 --> 01:05:50,267
Well, someone nearly was.

1511
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:51,767
Indeed they were.
Look at the major.

1512
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:53,134
Better get a new act.

1513
01:05:53,401 --> 01:05:54,700
The curtain's going down
on this one.

1514
01:05:55,101 --> 01:05:56,767
Every time I turn my back,
someone makes trouble.

1515
01:05:56,967 --> 01:05:59,067
They break the engine.
They beat each other with fists.

1516
01:05:59,101 --> 01:06:01,434
They throw each other overboard.
That man attacked me.

1517
01:06:01,468 --> 01:06:03,234
Ah, you. You again!

1518
01:06:03,267 --> 01:06:05,067
If I struck him,
it was in self-defense.

1519
01:06:05,500 --> 01:06:07,934
He came sneaking up behind me
and tried to run me through.

1520
01:06:07,967 --> 01:06:08,934
Is that true?!

1521
01:06:08,967 --> 01:06:09,900
Well...

1522
01:06:09,934 --> 01:06:11,234
It's no use, Billy,

1523
01:06:11,401 --> 01:06:13,867
my trying to protect Harry
any further.

1524
01:06:13,900 --> 01:06:16,067
I may as well tell
the whole truth.

1525
01:06:16,101 --> 01:06:19,967
Captain, it- It grieves me
to confess this,

1526
01:06:20,001 --> 01:06:23,667
but in point of fact, my husband
has an illness of the mind.

1527
01:06:23,700 --> 01:06:26,867
The medical word for it
is paranoia.

1528
01:06:26,900 --> 01:06:30,700
On occasion, he displays
homicidal tendencies.

1529
01:06:30,734 --> 01:06:32,667
The psychiatrists say
it's because he-

1530
01:06:32,700 --> 01:06:35,134
He believes people
are plotting against him,

1531
01:06:35,167 --> 01:06:36,500
and so he strikes back

1532
01:06:36,533 --> 01:06:37,900
and tries to kill them.

1533
01:06:38,034 --> 01:06:39,700
Gwendolen,
for heaven's sake, woman.

1534
01:06:39,734 --> 01:06:41,468
What's the meaning
of this treachery?

1535
01:06:41,867 --> 01:06:44,234
Believe it or not, Harry,
I'm doing it for your own good.

1536
01:06:44,267 --> 01:06:45,900
He knows.
He saved my life.

1537
01:06:45,934 --> 01:06:46,934
He'll tell the truth.

1538
01:06:47,234 --> 01:06:48,900
I wouldn't
contradict the lady.

1539
01:06:48,934 --> 01:06:49,934
You wreck my ship!

1540
01:06:50,134 --> 01:06:51,234
You try to kill the passengers.

1541
01:06:51,533 --> 01:06:52,900
Caruso!
But I'm the only sane person

1542
01:06:52,934 --> 01:06:54,101
on this ship!

1543
01:06:54,234 --> 01:06:55,567
That's why you're all
against me.

1544
01:06:55,900 --> 01:06:57,001
Let me go!
I'll kill the lot of you.

1545
01:06:57,034 --> 01:06:58,434
I warn you, captain!

1546
01:06:58,468 --> 01:07:01,034
Poor Harry,
it's awfully sad.

1547
01:07:01,067 --> 01:07:04,401
We've tried everything
to cure him.

1548
01:07:04,434 --> 01:07:06,034
How dare you lay hands on me!

1549
01:07:06,067 --> 01:07:07,267
You hooligans!

1550
01:07:07,301 --> 01:07:08,867
I'll have you put in irons.

1551
01:07:08,900 --> 01:07:10,434
You'll be the ones in irons.

1552
01:07:10,468 --> 01:07:12,468
Good, good.

1553
01:07:12,500 --> 01:07:15,034
We'll have
no more trouble from you.

1554
01:07:15,067 --> 01:07:17,101
Scum! Mongrels!

1555
01:07:17,134 --> 01:07:19,500
I'll bring you to book,
every one of you.

1556
01:07:19,533 --> 01:07:21,600
Every man jack of you!

1557
01:07:23,633 --> 01:07:25,967
After all,
it was the only solution.

1558
01:07:26,001 --> 01:07:28,001
Harry's safely locked
in his cabin,

1559
01:07:28,034 --> 01:07:30,567
where those beastly men
can't do him any harm.

1560
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:33,234
On the other hand,
he can't say or do anything now

1561
01:07:33,267 --> 01:07:35,633
to interfere with your making
that fortune in Africa.

1562
01:07:35,667 --> 01:07:38,201
I- I mean, the authorities
would hardly listen

1563
01:07:38,234 --> 01:07:40,167
to the ravings of a lunatic,
would they?

1564
01:07:40,201 --> 01:07:42,567
Well, they won't even
let him off the boat.

1565
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:43,900
Well, in that case,

1566
01:07:44,201 --> 01:07:46,201
he'll just have to stay
shut up for a few weeks.

1567
01:07:46,234 --> 01:07:48,468
A bit hard on the old boy,
don't you think?

1568
01:07:48,500 --> 01:07:51,500
Yes, but after you've amassed

1569
01:07:51,533 --> 01:07:54,667
all those African millions,
we'll make it up to him.

1570
01:07:54,700 --> 01:07:57,734
We'll buy him a country place
in Gloucestershire with-

1571
01:07:57,767 --> 01:08:01,001
With some rough shooting and-
And a trout stream,

1572
01:08:01,034 --> 01:08:02,934
like he's always wanted.

1573
01:08:02,967 --> 01:08:05,234
Maria will marry him,
perhaps.

1574
01:08:05,267 --> 01:08:07,468
She seems to have
a very real feeling

1575
01:08:07,500 --> 01:08:09,401
for English country life.

1576
01:08:09,434 --> 01:08:11,900
And everybody lives
happily ever after.

1577
01:08:11,934 --> 01:08:13,334
Especially us, Billy.

1578
01:08:15,434 --> 01:08:16,533
Boat stations, everyone.

1579
01:08:16,567 --> 01:08:17,633
Prepare to abandon ship.

1580
01:08:17,667 --> 01:08:18,667
What's going on?

1581
01:08:18,934 --> 01:08:20,533
I believe, sir,
that we are sinking.

1582
01:08:20,567 --> 01:08:22,301
Boat stations, everybody.

1583
01:08:24,134 --> 01:08:25,368
We're sinking.

1584
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,101
Harry, Harry.
Open the door.

1585
01:08:29,134 --> 01:08:30,600
You must.
The ship's sinking.

1586
01:08:30,633 --> 01:08:32,067
Here, get back.

1587
01:09:52,034 --> 01:09:54,001
We simply can't leave
without finding out

1588
01:09:54,034 --> 01:09:55,334
what's happened to Harry.

1589
01:09:55,567 --> 01:09:56,834
Maybe we'll run across him
out there.

1590
01:09:57,101 --> 01:09:58,267
He's a strong swimmer,
isn't he?

1591
01:09:58,301 --> 01:09:59,533
Do you really think we-?

1592
01:09:59,834 --> 01:10:01,533
I don't say we will.
But it's possible.

1593
01:10:01,567 --> 01:10:03,001
Anything's possible.

1594
01:10:15,700 --> 01:10:17,167
Harry!

1595
01:10:22,334 --> 01:10:23,334
Harry!

1596
01:10:59,434 --> 01:11:00,900
Where do you suppose we are?

1597
01:11:00,934 --> 01:11:01,900
Africa.

1598
01:11:01,934 --> 01:11:03,001
What part of Africa?

1599
01:11:03,267 --> 01:11:04,500
Yes, that's important.
What part?

1600
01:11:04,533 --> 01:11:05,767
Not a bad place to land.

1601
01:11:06,001 --> 01:11:07,533
No customs.
No forms to fill out.

1602
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,134
Tell us at once where we are.
It's important I know.

1603
01:11:10,167 --> 01:11:12,401
You mean to say there are parts
of the dark continent

1604
01:11:12,533 --> 01:11:14,533
where you won't be received
like the prodigal son?

1605
01:11:14,567 --> 01:11:15,533
Arlio.

1606
01:11:15,567 --> 01:11:16,633
What's that?

1607
01:11:16,667 --> 01:11:17,900
Arlio.

1608
01:11:22,334 --> 01:11:23,967
Better get down,
everybody.

1609
01:11:24,234 --> 01:11:26,167
<i>Mamma mia, Arabs.
Oh, mamma mia.</i>

1610
01:11:26,201 --> 01:11:28,234
Get rid
of your passports, boys.

1611
01:11:28,267 --> 01:11:29,533
Mrs. Chelm, Billy-Boy,

1612
01:11:29,667 --> 01:11:32,034
my identity must remain
a secret.

1613
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:19,101
Arlio, what's that?

1614
01:12:19,201 --> 01:12:21,567
It was the company who sold arms
to the Arab Legions.

1615
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:23,867
Wait a minute.
That rings a bell.

1616
01:12:23,900 --> 01:12:27,600
Some of the equipment
we sold them was defective.

1617
01:12:27,633 --> 01:12:30,267
Been too long under the water
in the Gulf of Leyte.

1618
01:12:30,301 --> 01:12:31,934
The Arabs claim
they lost the war

1619
01:12:32,134 --> 01:12:33,667
because of rusty guns
and dud ammunition.

1620
01:12:33,700 --> 01:12:34,934
For heaven's sake, be quiet.

1621
01:12:35,201 --> 01:12:36,500
If you go on like that,
I'll be-

1622
01:12:36,633 --> 01:12:38,667
I'll see you
drawn and quartered.

1623
01:12:59,767 --> 01:13:02,201
Are you going to allow them
to bully you in this way?

1624
01:13:02,234 --> 01:13:03,934
Why, i-it's simply-

1625
01:13:03,967 --> 01:13:05,134
Shocking.

1626
01:13:05,167 --> 01:13:06,867
Harry wouldn't have
let them do it.

1627
01:13:06,900 --> 01:13:08,700
He had a sense of dignity.

1628
01:13:08,734 --> 01:13:10,500
I have a sense of survival.

1629
01:13:10,533 --> 01:13:13,267
Billy, what is going
to happen?

1630
01:13:13,301 --> 01:13:15,034
Do you think
they will torture us?

1631
01:13:15,134 --> 01:13:17,967
Just let them try it.
I'm a British subject.

1632
01:13:18,001 --> 01:13:19,867
I wouldn't say it too loud.

1633
01:13:40,001 --> 01:13:41,934
We shipwreck.

1634
01:13:41,967 --> 01:13:46,967
Big boat go down bottom ocean.

1635
01:13:47,001 --> 01:13:50,401
We take little boat.

1636
01:13:50,434 --> 01:13:51,934
Row all day.

1637
01:13:53,434 --> 01:13:54,533
Row all night.

1638
01:13:54,567 --> 01:13:56,234
Savvy?

1639
01:13:56,267 --> 01:13:58,368
There's only one way
to deal with these swine.

1640
01:13:58,401 --> 01:14:00,067
Walk up and kick them
in the belly.

1641
01:14:00,101 --> 01:14:02,101
Show 'em who's boss
right away.

1642
01:14:02,134 --> 01:14:03,734
We sight land.

1643
01:14:03,767 --> 01:14:05,167
Your land.

1644
01:14:05,201 --> 01:14:07,600
Praise Allah.

1645
01:14:07,633 --> 01:14:09,167
Come ashore.

1646
01:14:09,201 --> 01:14:12,034
Suddenly, boom, boom, boom.

1647
01:14:12,067 --> 01:14:14,533
No good way
treat shipwrecked people.

1648
01:14:14,567 --> 01:14:17,368
You will please
to hand over your passports.

1649
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,134
There seem to be four missing.

1650
01:14:39,167 --> 01:14:41,900
Will those who have not
handed over their passports

1651
01:14:41,934 --> 01:14:44,067
hold up their hands?

1652
01:14:49,500 --> 01:14:52,900
All left on board ship,
Your Excellency.

1653
01:14:52,934 --> 01:14:54,001
A terrifying experience.

1654
01:14:54,034 --> 01:14:55,500
An incompetent crew.

1655
01:14:55,533 --> 01:14:57,067
A burning ship.

1656
01:14:57,167 --> 01:14:59,734
Put overboard in a small boat
at dead of night.

1657
01:14:59,767 --> 01:15:01,334
What was the name
of the vessel?

1658
01:15:01,368 --> 01:15:02,667
<i>The S.S. Nyanga.</i>

1659
01:15:02,700 --> 01:15:04,001
She's a Portuguese ship.

1660
01:15:04,234 --> 01:15:05,834
I will investigate
whether such a ship

1661
01:15:05,867 --> 01:15:07,667
has been reported
lost at sea.

1662
01:15:07,700 --> 01:15:09,700
Well, does it stand to reason,
Your Excellency,

1663
01:15:09,734 --> 01:15:11,633
we should come to this shore
in a small boat

1664
01:15:11,667 --> 01:15:13,167
if we'd not been shipwrecked?

1665
01:15:13,201 --> 01:15:16,034
Our country is
in a state of unrest.

1666
01:15:16,067 --> 01:15:17,368
Oh, I am sorry.

1667
01:15:17,401 --> 01:15:20,001
Agents of certain
foreign governments

1668
01:15:20,034 --> 01:15:23,034
sometimes try
to enter it by stealth-

1669
01:15:23,067 --> 01:15:24,167
Tsk-tsk.

1670
01:15:24,334 --> 01:15:26,900
- hoping to fan the flames
of revolution.

1671
01:15:26,934 --> 01:15:32,167
Therefore, we check carefully
on the activities of strangers.

1672
01:15:32,201 --> 01:15:34,368
But surely, Your Excellency,
in our case,

1673
01:15:34,401 --> 01:15:37,633
one look is sufficient to
convince you of our innocence.

1674
01:15:53,001 --> 01:15:55,267
No.

1675
01:15:55,301 --> 01:15:59,001
One look is not enough.

1676
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:05,533
If you think we're
the enemies of your country,

1677
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,533
the logical thing
is to boot us out.

1678
01:16:07,567 --> 01:16:09,900
Send us packing by the first
available boat or train.

1679
01:16:09,934 --> 01:16:11,368
We shan't object.

1680
01:16:11,401 --> 01:16:13,434
We've got important business
elsewhere.

1681
01:16:13,468 --> 01:16:15,134
Where is elsewhere?

1682
01:16:15,900 --> 01:16:17,067
Central Africa.

1683
01:16:17,967 --> 01:16:20,167
And what sort of business?

1684
01:16:20,201 --> 01:16:22,533
Vacuum cleaners.
Sewing machines.

1685
01:16:22,567 --> 01:16:24,468
Ah, yes.

1686
01:16:24,500 --> 01:16:25,834
Businessmen.

1687
01:16:26,067 --> 01:16:29,368
All going to Central Africa
to sell vacuum cleaners.

1688
01:16:29,401 --> 01:16:30,468
Yes.

1689
01:16:30,500 --> 01:16:32,500
Hut to hut, I suppose.

1690
01:16:32,533 --> 01:16:34,434
And you, sir,
I take it,

1691
01:16:34,468 --> 01:16:36,101
are the head salesman.

1692
01:16:36,134 --> 01:16:38,700
The ringleader of this group.

1693
01:16:38,734 --> 01:16:40,468
Oh, no. No group.

1694
01:16:40,500 --> 01:16:43,334
We met for the first time
onboard ship.

1695
01:16:43,368 --> 01:16:45,468
Complete strangers
to one another.

1696
01:16:45,500 --> 01:16:46,934
Liar!

1697
01:16:46,967 --> 01:16:49,334
The others all look at you
each time I ask a question.

1698
01:16:49,368 --> 01:16:52,001
I am a keen observer.

1699
01:16:52,034 --> 01:16:53,567
You four are together.

1700
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:55,834
Oh, no, my fat-gutted friend.

1701
01:16:55,867 --> 01:16:58,834
I am not the illiterate,
simple-minded native

1702
01:16:58,867 --> 01:17:00,600
you are fool enough
to take me for.

1703
01:17:00,633 --> 01:17:03,368
I am a great man.
A serious man.

1704
01:17:03,401 --> 01:17:04,867
I spit on you.
Phew.

1705
01:17:04,900 --> 01:17:07,700
I spit on you
and all your lies.

1706
01:17:07,734 --> 01:17:09,401
Off to the wrong start,
Peterson.

1707
01:17:09,667 --> 01:17:11,834
There's only one way
to deal with these swine.

1708
01:17:11,867 --> 01:17:14,567
Swine, swine, swine!

1709
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:16,600
You'd better be careful.

1710
01:17:16,633 --> 01:17:19,201
My husband, my late husband,
who was drowned

1711
01:17:19,234 --> 01:17:20,533
in the Nyanga disaster,

1712
01:17:20,934 --> 01:17:22,533
happened to be one
of the most important figures

1713
01:17:22,567 --> 01:17:23,700
in the British government.

1714
01:17:23,734 --> 01:17:25,101
Sir Harry Chelm.

1715
01:17:25,134 --> 01:17:27,201
In point of fact,
we had letters

1716
01:17:27,234 --> 01:17:29,101
from the prime minister
and the queen

1717
01:17:29,134 --> 01:17:30,468
telling everybody

1718
01:17:30,734 --> 01:17:33,267
to be particularly courteous
to us and our friends.

1719
01:17:33,301 --> 01:17:36,334
So you see, if any harm
befalls us at your hands,

1720
01:17:36,368 --> 01:17:38,767
it will become
a major international incident.

1721
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:42,967
Would you instruct that one,
that in my country,

1722
01:17:43,001 --> 01:17:47,434
a female's lips may move,
but her words are not heard.

1723
01:17:47,468 --> 01:17:49,734
Oh, Harry, Harry...

1724
01:17:51,567 --> 01:17:53,667
if only you were here.

1725
01:17:55,101 --> 01:17:59,001
And now, sir, you will
stop abusing my intelligence

1726
01:17:59,034 --> 01:18:00,967
and tell me who you really are

1727
01:18:01,001 --> 01:18:04,067
and what is your actual purpose
in being here.

1728
01:18:04,101 --> 01:18:06,001
I'm a sick man.
I've got a bad heart.

1729
01:18:06,034 --> 01:18:07,167
I mustn't talk any more.

1730
01:18:07,201 --> 01:18:09,234
You refuse to answer.

1731
01:18:09,267 --> 01:18:10,600
That is interesting.

1732
01:18:10,633 --> 01:18:12,667
It makes of it
a contest.

1733
01:18:12,700 --> 01:18:16,167
A contest in a game
at which we excel.

1734
01:18:16,234 --> 01:18:20,533
We of this country have had
4000 years' experience

1735
01:18:20,567 --> 01:18:23,967
in asking questions
and getting answers.

1736
01:18:25,034 --> 01:18:26,867
Who are you?

1737
01:18:26,900 --> 01:18:29,167
Why are you here?

1738
01:18:29,201 --> 01:18:30,468
Don't hit me again.

1739
01:18:30,567 --> 01:18:32,600
My heart,
I'll have an attack.

1740
01:18:59,201 --> 01:19:02,134
Of course, Billy's lead
a thoroughly decadent life.

1741
01:19:02,167 --> 01:19:04,867
I must say, I thought
he had more backbone than that.

1742
01:19:04,900 --> 01:19:08,434
Backbone, hm, either you have it
or you haven't.

1743
01:19:08,468 --> 01:19:10,134
Did you see
the beating I took

1744
01:19:10,633 --> 01:19:13,700
at the hands of that great ugly
brute without even flinching?

1745
01:19:13,734 --> 01:19:15,667
Billy was crazed with fear
before they'd even

1746
01:19:15,700 --> 01:19:16,800
laid a finger on him.

1747
01:19:18,867 --> 01:19:21,234
Tell me more
about Rita Hayworth.

1748
01:19:21,267 --> 01:19:23,201
You really know her very well?

1749
01:19:23,234 --> 01:19:24,267
Do I know Rita?

1750
01:19:25,301 --> 01:19:26,667
Do I know her.

1751
01:19:26,700 --> 01:19:28,234
I'll give you
a letter of introduction.

1752
01:19:28,767 --> 01:19:30,700
She'll fall an immediate victim
to your charms.

1753
01:19:30,734 --> 01:19:31,667
You really think so?

1754
01:19:31,700 --> 01:19:33,134
Oh, but certainly.

1755
01:19:33,167 --> 01:19:34,368
A man like you:

1756
01:19:34,500 --> 01:19:38,767
suave, intelligent,
darkly handsome.

1757
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:41,533
You have everything, Ahmed,
except money.

1758
01:19:41,567 --> 01:19:45,667
And if you listen to me, a boat
will be placed at our disposal.

1759
01:19:45,700 --> 01:19:47,167
A very slow boat.

1760
01:19:47,434 --> 01:19:50,201
So that fat gut's check will
have plenty of time to clear.

1761
01:19:50,234 --> 01:19:52,067
And you will trust me
for your share?

1762
01:19:53,201 --> 01:19:55,067
Does one man of the world
ask another

1763
01:19:55,101 --> 01:19:56,533
to trust his own brother?

1764
01:19:56,567 --> 01:19:58,267
Oh, no, Ahmed.

1765
01:19:58,301 --> 01:20:00,001
You'll give me a check for half.

1766
01:20:00,134 --> 01:20:03,900
Your demands are very great
under the circumstances.

1767
01:20:03,934 --> 01:20:05,267
Well, why shouldn't
they be?

1768
01:20:05,368 --> 01:20:07,368
Fat gut's my best friend.

1769
01:20:07,401 --> 01:20:09,134
I will not betray him cheaply.

1770
01:20:09,334 --> 01:20:12,267
You are certain that you are
the friend of the peerless Rita?

1771
01:20:12,301 --> 01:20:13,567
Come, come, Ahmed,

1772
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:15,533
mind back to business.

1773
01:20:16,867 --> 01:20:17,800
Very well.

1774
01:20:17,834 --> 01:20:19,900
Fifty-fifty.
Oh, uh,

1775
01:20:19,934 --> 01:20:22,900
by the way, fat gut's nature
isn't noble like ours.

1776
01:20:22,934 --> 01:20:24,334
He might try to bargain.

1777
01:20:24,468 --> 01:20:27,034
I do not bargain
with a puffball like that.

1778
01:20:27,067 --> 01:20:28,867
It's beneath my dignity.

1779
01:20:28,900 --> 01:20:30,967
It'll be dawn soon.

1780
01:20:31,001 --> 01:20:32,334
The correct hour

1781
01:20:32,368 --> 01:20:33,567
for a firing squad.

1782
01:20:33,900 --> 01:20:36,667
But if we have him shot,
what about the money?

1783
01:20:36,700 --> 01:20:38,034
Well, I was just thinking

1784
01:20:38,500 --> 01:20:41,134
that if he heard a volley
at the psychological moment,

1785
01:20:41,167 --> 01:20:43,267
he might not be
so inclined to haggle.

1786
01:20:43,301 --> 01:20:47,334
I believe you must
have Arab blood.

1787
01:20:47,368 --> 01:20:51,034
Westerners are not
usually so subtle.

1788
01:21:03,401 --> 01:21:04,767
Where are you taking me?

1789
01:21:04,934 --> 01:21:07,600
I won't go.
I demand to see a doctor.

1790
01:21:07,633 --> 01:21:13,468
Would you say that in Paris,
among smart people...

1791
01:21:13,500 --> 01:21:19,500
the Rolls-Royce or the Cadillac
is considered more chic?

1792
01:21:20,700 --> 01:21:21,700
Well, that's no problem.

1793
01:21:21,734 --> 01:21:22,967
No problem at all.

1794
01:21:23,001 --> 01:21:24,034
A man in your position

1795
01:21:24,067 --> 01:21:25,734
should have both.

1796
01:21:25,767 --> 01:21:26,800
Ah...

1797
01:21:32,500 --> 01:21:36,500
Mr. Dannreuther, I believe,
would like a word with you.

1798
01:21:37,067 --> 01:21:38,101
Billy.

1799
01:21:38,134 --> 01:21:40,101
Sit down, Peterson.

1800
01:21:47,001 --> 01:21:48,167
Uh...

1801
01:21:48,201 --> 01:21:50,967
I've been talking
to Ahmed here and, uh...

1802
01:21:57,267 --> 01:22:00,067
It's blackmail.

1803
01:22:00,101 --> 01:22:01,434
I can't pay.

1804
01:22:06,567 --> 01:22:07,867
What was that?

1805
01:22:07,900 --> 01:22:10,167
Firing squad.

1806
01:22:10,201 --> 01:22:11,834
It's execution day.

1807
01:22:14,067 --> 01:22:15,867
Will he take a check?

1808
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:43,633
Billy.

1809
01:22:45,201 --> 01:22:47,267
Billy, look.

1810
01:22:47,301 --> 01:22:48,401
<i>The Nyanga.</i>

1811
01:22:53,468 --> 01:22:54,900
Stay away!

1812
01:22:54,934 --> 01:22:56,500
Stay away from my ship!

1813
01:22:56,533 --> 01:22:59,267
If you try to come aboard,
I will shoot you!

1814
01:22:59,301 --> 01:23:00,867
I will shoot you!

1815
01:23:00,900 --> 01:23:03,967
Get my gun! Get my gun!

1816
01:23:04,001 --> 01:23:06,900
Give it to him.
Maybe he'll shoot himself.

1817
01:23:06,934 --> 01:23:09,468
My gun, my gun!

1818
01:23:25,201 --> 01:23:27,034
Excuse me, are you
Mr. William Dannreuther?

1819
01:23:27,067 --> 01:23:28,334
That's right.

1820
01:23:28,368 --> 01:23:29,834
I'd like to ask you
a few questions.

1821
01:23:29,867 --> 01:23:31,267
I'm sorry, not now.

1822
01:23:31,301 --> 01:23:32,900
Forgive me,
but it's rather important.

1823
01:23:32,934 --> 01:23:34,001
Yes, it always is.

1824
01:23:34,234 --> 01:23:35,867
I was a newspaper man
myself once.

1825
01:23:35,900 --> 01:23:37,500
Very well, you may quote me
as saying

1826
01:23:37,867 --> 01:23:39,667
that everybody was heroic
except Mrs. Dannreuther,

1827
01:23:39,700 --> 01:23:41,167
who ate all our boots.

1828
01:23:41,201 --> 01:23:43,034
Very amusing, but, uh,
I'm not a reporter.

1829
01:23:43,067 --> 01:23:44,234
Oh?

1830
01:23:44,267 --> 01:23:46,500
Jack, go to the phone.
Make reservations.

1831
01:23:46,533 --> 01:23:48,834
The first plane to Nairobi.
Six seats.

1832
01:23:48,867 --> 01:23:51,101
Yes, and if they don't have any,
talk to the right man

1833
01:23:51,234 --> 01:23:53,368
and tell him if he kicks
other people off the plane,

1834
01:23:53,401 --> 01:23:54,967
we'll make it worth
his while.

1835
01:23:55,134 --> 01:23:56,600
I always said
we ought to take a plane.

1836
01:23:56,900 --> 01:23:58,401
You remember I said that,
Mr. O'Horror.

1837
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:00,900
-I said we ought to take a plane.
- Mustn't dawdle, Billy-Boy.

1838
01:24:00,934 --> 01:24:02,434
Great deal to do
and not much time.

1839
01:24:02,767 --> 01:24:04,101
Those the other members
of your party?

1840
01:24:04,234 --> 01:24:06,067
- Yes.
- I'd like to talk to them too.

1841
01:24:06,101 --> 01:24:07,434
Well, what's it all about?

1842
01:24:07,468 --> 01:24:08,800
I believe you were acquainted

1843
01:24:09,034 --> 01:24:11,067
with a Mr. Vanmeer,
now deceased.

1844
01:24:13,001 --> 01:24:14,267
Peterson.

1845
01:24:14,301 --> 01:24:16,267
You and the boys
better come back down.

1846
01:24:16,301 --> 01:24:18,267
There's a gentleman here
wants to speak to you.

1847
01:24:18,301 --> 01:24:20,201
A Mr. Jack Clayton
of Scotland Yard.

1848
01:24:20,301 --> 01:24:22,767
You take your wine here
or upstairs, Mr. Dann?

1849
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:24,201
Oh, we'll have it here.

1850
01:24:24,368 --> 01:24:25,767
Care to join us in a drink,
Clayton?

1851
01:24:26,167 --> 01:24:27,700
No, thanks. It's a bit early
in the day for me.

1852
01:24:27,734 --> 01:24:29,900
I read somewhere
that a Scotland Yard man

1853
01:24:29,934 --> 01:24:32,800
never accepts a drink from
anyone he intends to arrest.

1854
01:24:32,834 --> 01:24:34,234
Is that true, Mr. Clayton?

1855
01:24:34,267 --> 01:24:36,301
- Quite so.
- Mrs. Dannreuther?

1856
01:24:36,334 --> 01:24:38,368
No. I'm Mrs. Chelm.

1857
01:24:38,401 --> 01:24:40,334
This is Mrs. Dannreuther.

1858
01:24:40,368 --> 01:24:41,834
Well, how do you do?

1859
01:24:42,034 --> 01:24:44,067
Well, I wouldn't dream
of alarming you lovely ladies,

1860
01:24:44,101 --> 01:24:46,201
so perhaps I'll have
a glass of bubbly after all.

1861
01:24:47,533 --> 01:24:48,500
Peterson.

1862
01:24:48,533 --> 01:24:49,533
How do you do, sir?

1863
01:24:49,567 --> 01:24:50,767
How do you do?

1864
01:24:50,867 --> 01:24:54,234
Ravello. Heh.
And, uh, Mr. O'Horror.

1865
01:24:54,267 --> 01:24:55,900
O'Hara. Julius O'Hara.

1866
01:24:55,934 --> 01:24:56,900
Delighted.

1867
01:24:56,934 --> 01:24:58,600
I'm the one to be delighted.

1868
01:24:58,633 --> 01:24:59,900
It had begun to look as though

1869
01:25:00,201 --> 01:25:01,368
I'd never catch up
with you people

1870
01:25:01,767 --> 01:25:03,234
and that would have been
a bit embarrassing.

1871
01:25:03,267 --> 01:25:04,934
You see, this is the first time

1872
01:25:04,967 --> 01:25:07,167
I've ever been abroad
on an investigation.

1873
01:25:07,201 --> 01:25:09,134
I've spent quite a lot of money,

1874
01:25:09,167 --> 01:25:10,700
and my chief can be
very sarcastic

1875
01:25:10,734 --> 01:25:12,001
about the money one spends,

1876
01:25:12,500 --> 01:25:14,401
particularly if you fail
to deliver the goods.

1877
01:25:14,434 --> 01:25:16,533
Mr. Clayton
is presently interested

1878
01:25:16,567 --> 01:25:18,301
in the Vanmeer murder case.

1879
01:25:18,334 --> 01:25:20,167
The Vanmeer murder case.

1880
01:25:20,201 --> 01:25:22,667
Oh, yes, yes, that fellow
in the Colonial Office.

1881
01:25:22,700 --> 01:25:24,401
Yes, I read about that
in the paper.

1882
01:25:24,434 --> 01:25:26,001
It was a shocking affair.

1883
01:25:26,101 --> 01:25:27,934
According to Mr. Vanmeer's
appointment book,

1884
01:25:28,201 --> 01:25:30,600
Mr. Peterson, you had lunch
with him at the Savoy

1885
01:25:30,633 --> 01:25:32,001
a few days before his death.

1886
01:25:32,034 --> 01:25:33,434
That's quite correct.

1887
01:25:33,533 --> 01:25:36,067
Mr. Vanmeer was expert
on African matters.

1888
01:25:36,101 --> 01:25:38,368
We wanted his advice
about affairs

1889
01:25:38,401 --> 01:25:39,633
in British East.

1890
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:41,301
Recall the subject
under discussion?

1891
01:25:41,334 --> 01:25:42,301
Vaguely.

1892
01:25:42,334 --> 01:25:43,800
Uh, crop yield.

1893
01:25:43,834 --> 01:25:45,667
The native labor situation.

1894
01:25:45,700 --> 01:25:46,867
Inches of rain.

1895
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:48,967
Vaccination shots. Heh.

1896
01:25:49,001 --> 01:25:50,900
How long had you known
Mr. Vanmeer?

1897
01:25:50,934 --> 01:25:53,368
Oh, a couple of months.
We met half a dozen times.

1898
01:25:53,533 --> 01:25:56,401
Did he ever make mention of any
enemies, business or otherwise?

1899
01:25:56,434 --> 01:25:58,500
Did he say anything
about romantic attachments?

1900
01:25:58,533 --> 01:26:00,067
I mean, did he name any women?

1901
01:26:00,101 --> 01:26:01,401
No.

1902
01:26:01,434 --> 01:26:03,500
I should have been
very surprised if he had done.

1903
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:06,234
Mr. Vanmeer struck me as being
every inch a gentleman.

1904
01:26:06,267 --> 01:26:07,767
Oh, of course, of course.

1905
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:10,633
Well, uh, that's all,

1906
01:26:10,667 --> 01:26:12,767
unless somebody has anything
further to add?

1907
01:26:14,234 --> 01:26:15,267
I have.

1908
01:26:18,767 --> 01:26:20,600
I think you ought to know

1909
01:26:20,633 --> 01:26:23,301
that the business of one
of these businessmen is murder.

1910
01:26:24,767 --> 01:26:26,368
I beg your pardon?

1911
01:26:26,401 --> 01:26:28,434
Major Ross, I mean.

1912
01:26:28,468 --> 01:26:32,101
I can't guarantee Major Ross
murdered this Vanmeer person.

1913
01:26:32,134 --> 01:26:33,468
I assure you, however,

1914
01:26:33,500 --> 01:26:35,401
he attempted to murder
my husband

1915
01:26:35,567 --> 01:26:38,267
with a long, thin dagger,
which he always carried about

1916
01:26:38,301 --> 01:26:40,867
in what looked like
an innocent swagger stick.

1917
01:26:40,900 --> 01:26:42,734
Go on, Mrs. Chelm.

1918
01:26:42,900 --> 01:26:46,134
You see, Major Ross is
employed by Mr. Peterson there

1919
01:26:46,167 --> 01:26:47,900
to do his dirty work.

1920
01:26:47,934 --> 01:26:50,134
One might say
he's a professional killer.

1921
01:26:50,167 --> 01:26:53,301
My husband found out certain
things about Mr. Peterson.

1922
01:26:53,334 --> 01:26:56,633
Things, in point of fact,
that are a matter of empire,

1923
01:26:56,667 --> 01:26:58,401
involving as they do,
a plot to exploit

1924
01:26:58,434 --> 01:27:00,533
our kingdom's
uranium resources.

1925
01:27:00,567 --> 01:27:02,434
And that's why
Mr. Peterson decided

1926
01:27:02,468 --> 01:27:03,834
to have him done away with.

1927
01:27:03,934 --> 01:27:05,468
Don't run away,
Mr. Peterson.

1928
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:08,401
That's always tantamount
to a confession of guilt.

1929
01:27:08,434 --> 01:27:10,301
"Can't amount"
is what I call it.

1930
01:27:10,334 --> 01:27:12,900
More champagne, Clayton?

1931
01:27:12,934 --> 01:27:14,001
No, thank you.

1932
01:27:31,101 --> 01:27:35,567
<i>As I said before,
very smart fellows indeed.</i>

1933
01:27:38,101 --> 01:27:40,900
Should you ever
think of me in Earls Court,

1934
01:27:40,934 --> 01:27:42,334
that's where I'll be,

1935
01:27:42,500 --> 01:27:44,834
helping Harry's parents
with the lodgers.

1936
01:27:44,867 --> 01:27:46,533
Should you ever think of me,

1937
01:27:46,567 --> 01:27:50,533
try not to let it be
too harshly.

1938
01:27:50,567 --> 01:27:52,301
You kiss her too, Billy.

1939
01:27:52,334 --> 01:27:54,167
And tell her
she's forgiven.

1940
01:27:54,201 --> 01:27:56,034
Sure, sure.

1941
01:27:56,067 --> 01:27:57,867
Goodbye, Billy.

1942
01:27:57,900 --> 01:27:58,900
Bye.

1943
01:28:03,500 --> 01:28:04,734
For Mrs. Chelm.

1944
01:28:04,767 --> 01:28:06,600
Just came over ship's wire.

1945
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:09,667
Oh, by the way,
Mr. Dannreuther,

1946
01:28:09,700 --> 01:28:13,600
do you know that your associates
are all in hoosegow?

1947
01:28:13,633 --> 01:28:15,700
Oh, not that
I'm a bit surprised.

1948
01:28:15,734 --> 01:28:17,900
I put them down
as thoroughly bad characters.

1949
01:28:17,934 --> 01:28:19,301
Right off the bat.

1950
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:22,767
But then there are so many
bad characters nowadays.

1951
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:24,334
Take mine, for instance.

1952
01:28:25,667 --> 01:28:27,101
Harry!

1953
01:28:27,134 --> 01:28:28,734
He's alive!

1954
01:28:40,468 --> 01:28:42,301
Oh...

1955
01:29:05,167 --> 01:29:07,900
Oh, this is the end.

1956
01:29:11,700 --> 01:29:13,201
The end.

1957
01:29:14,305 --> 01:29:20,433
