Deadly Affair The

en
00:02:01 Mr Fennan, we know it's idiotic,
00:02:04 but when the Foreign Secretary finds
00:02:08 it's like London airport
00:02:12 to say that there's a bomb
00:02:15 and somebody's got to do a check.
00:02:17 - Was the letter anonymous?
00:02:20 Was it literate?
00:02:21 Oh, yes, properly spelt,
00:02:25 - Handwriting?
00:02:28 An Olivetti portable. Westminster postmark.
00:02:31 And what exactly did it allege?
00:02:34 It said that you were a member
00:02:37 and that you were still secretly sympathetic
00:02:41 - But my dear Mr...
00:02:44 Practically everybody was a member
00:02:47 - Half the present Cabinet were Party...
00:02:51 You know, Mr Dobbs, when you're young,
00:02:53 you hitch the wagon
00:02:56 to whatever star looks likely
00:02:58 When I was an undergraduate,
00:03:00 the wagon was social justice,
00:03:04 We perambulated with banners.
00:03:08 A few of us fought in Spain.
00:03:12 I still believe it was a good wagon,
00:03:15 We had faith and hope and charity.
00:03:18 A wrong faith, a false hope
00:03:21 but I still think the right sort of charity.
00:03:24 Our eyes were dewy with it.
00:03:29 Who opened them?
00:03:52 - Ann?
00:03:54 Oh, Bill! I'm sorry.
00:03:55 Well, I hope you're wide awake, old boy,
00:03:57 because your subject Fennan
00:04:02 But when I was in the park
00:04:04 he was as happy as a bloody lark.
00:04:06 I liked him.
00:04:09 and I as good as promised him
00:04:11 What on Earth makes them think
00:04:13 - Body position.
00:04:16 - How long?
00:04:18 Ann took the car
00:04:20 - Does the Adviser know yet?
00:04:23 Oh, hell.
00:04:25 Well, I'll be as quick as I can. Bye.
00:04:38 Ann?
00:05:06 I want to go to...
00:05:09 Oh, Lord, that's my own car coming back.
00:05:11 - There you are, five bob, all right?
00:05:16 - Good night.
00:05:26 Are you arriving or leaving, Charles?
00:05:28 Leaving. Just the office. There's a flap on.
00:05:31 You have a good evening?
00:05:34 Yes,
00:05:38 I'm afraid so.
00:05:41 Who was it this time?
00:05:47 Oh, I see. Somebody I know.
00:05:51 Do you want the car?
00:05:54 - Darling...
00:05:58 Back?
00:06:05 I turned your fire on. It's bloody cold.
00:06:18 Oh, Charlie, you're in the nick of time.
00:06:21 What for?
00:06:23 To stop the Adviser
00:06:26 He just left Scotland Yard
00:06:31 There was a squabble going on
00:06:34 Special Branch says Special Branch.
00:06:39 CID says CID.
00:06:40 Poor old Surrey police
00:06:42 Well, what does the Foreign Office say?
00:06:43 Oh, Foreign Office think
00:06:47 The death of a loyal
00:06:51 Well, he was, Bill.
00:06:52 Worried sick and driven to suicide
00:06:54 by the Gestapo methods
00:07:01 You know that's a load of bull.
00:07:02 I had a perfectly friendly interview
00:07:06 I left him happy.
00:07:08 Well, if you tell that to the Adviser,
00:07:12 He's scared enough
00:07:15 If this department starts even hinting
00:07:18 and then it turned out to be wrong...
00:07:21 Tell us exactly what happened.
00:07:23 Fennan and his wife lived down in...
00:07:28 Surrey.
00:07:29 At Walliston, I know that!
00:07:31 She went to the local theatre alone
00:07:35 She came home about 10:45,
00:07:39 He left a sealed letter
00:07:42 Has it been opened?
00:07:46 - Appleby.
00:07:49 - Yes, Adviser.
00:07:57 Save a kitten for me, darling!
00:07:58 Thank you.
00:08:00 The police believe it to be
00:08:04 - Do you?
00:08:07 The point is,
00:08:10 It's unfortunate
00:08:12 we are now answerable
00:08:15 with whom our current relations
00:08:20 If, of course, there are facts
00:08:23 which point to Fennan's suicide for reasons
00:08:28 I shall be happy to hear about them.
00:08:30 - Have they opened his suicide letter?
00:08:34 It was typed on Fennan's own machine
00:08:36 and signed with what's indubitably
00:08:41 It carries not only the date, January the 3rd,
00:08:46 That's a little unusual.
00:08:48 A methodical man
00:08:52 "My dear Minister, after some hesitation
00:08:56 "I cannot spend my remaining years
00:09:00 "I realise that I am the victim of
00:09:04 "Yours sincerely, Samuel Fennan."
00:09:06 - May I have your comments?
00:09:14 - He must have been raving mad.
00:09:18 But so did he when I interviewed him!
00:09:20 He was a little over-talkative perhaps,
00:09:22 but I put that down
00:09:24 Quite.
00:09:26 That's why I suggested
00:09:28 which was rather public anyhow,
00:09:31 and conduct the interview
00:09:33 Then I may take it that his suicide
00:09:36 came as a complete surprise to you.
00:09:38 - You find no explanation?
00:09:41 - You have no idea who denounced him?
00:09:45 - He was married, you know.
00:09:48 A somewhat unusual woman.
00:09:52 Suffered rather badly
00:09:55 which rather adds to our embarrassment.
00:09:58 It seems conceivable that she might be able
00:10:01 - I think you ought to go and see her.
00:10:04 But she thinks that I'm responsible
00:10:06 If you want police cooperation at Walliston,
00:10:09 we've put in Inspector Mendel down there
00:10:13 I don't think you've worked with him before.
00:10:15 - He's a CID man. I thought he'd retired.
00:10:18 That makes it easier for him
00:10:21 the police and us.
00:10:24 - Sir, the Minister is calling.
00:10:31 - Martin?
00:10:32 - Any progress?
00:10:33 I have the man in charge of the case
00:10:36 He will be with the widow
00:10:40 Good. Keep me informed.
00:10:41 Yes, naturally.
00:10:44 - Right.
00:10:47 Could you see her at 8:15?
00:10:49 - Do you really think that this woman will...
00:10:53 You better go home now
00:10:59 If I can.
00:11:00 My dear Dobbs,
00:11:03 We authorized the security check.
00:11:05 You conducted it.
00:11:08 - Except Mrs Fennan.
00:11:54 I'm sorry, love. I was in a huff.
00:11:58 - About me?
00:12:02 There's a fellow at the Foreign Office
00:12:05 They want me to go down
00:12:11 in four hours.
00:12:12 Poor darling. When will you be back?
00:12:18 How long would you like me to stay away?
00:12:23 I'll phone you before I start home.
00:12:29 - Do you want to know who it is?
00:12:33 Why not?
00:12:37 We tried that before.
00:12:39 Knowing gives a shape to the jealousy.
00:12:43 I don't want that sort of distraction
00:12:47 I suppose I ought to shave.
00:12:52 You ought to kick me out.
00:12:56 We tried that before, too.
00:13:00 Yes.
00:13:02 We missed one another.
00:13:46 Good night, Ann.
00:14:42 Mrs Fennan?
00:14:46 My name is Dobbs.
00:14:49 I see.
00:14:51 The police rang. Asked if I minded.
00:14:55 I didn't know what to say. Come in.
00:16:07 Who can one ask to clean such things?
00:16:14 Sit down.
00:16:23 If you're too warm,
00:16:25 Oh, thank you.
00:16:47 You're the man
00:16:53 I'm the man who recommended
00:16:56 Cleared? Of what?
00:16:59 Your husband was a communist
00:17:02 His recent promotion at the Foreign Office
00:17:04 gave him access
00:17:07 Some busybody
00:17:09 and we had no option but to follow it up.
00:17:12 I was only doing my duty.
00:17:18 - To whom, Mr Dobbs?
00:17:21 Check.
00:17:25 Sounds like a game, doesn't it?
00:17:27 - It's not a game, Mrs Fennan.
00:17:33 You treat people like wooden pawns.
00:17:39 You plot their moves.
00:17:41 You write their names on papers,
00:17:44 and then you put the papers into files.
00:17:49 But sometime the names have
00:17:53 as well as records.
00:17:55 And generally
00:17:58 very ordinary human motives
00:18:01 to justify their sad little dossier
00:18:05 and their make-believe sins.
00:18:10 And when that happens,
00:18:15 Yes, when that happens,
00:18:21 Then go back to Whitehall
00:18:26 and look for more spies
00:18:32 because you have no place
00:18:37 You dropped a bomb from the sky,
00:18:40 but don't come down here
00:18:56 Mrs Fennan, you've had a terrible loss.
00:19:02 You can't have slept all night.
00:19:04 Thank you,
00:19:10 Anyway, sleep is not a luxury I enjoy.
00:19:14 I am conscious of my body 20 hours a day.
00:19:19 As for my loss...
00:19:25 - Are you married, Mr Dobbs?
00:19:31 Maybe you would describe your wife
00:19:37 I don't possess her. I love her.
00:19:44 You see, for six years in camps,
00:19:50 except for a comb and a toothbrush,
00:19:54 and a comb was of no use
00:20:04 I loved my husband.
00:20:06 But I have the experience
00:20:12 Mrs Fennan,
00:20:15 was almost a formality.
00:20:16 I'm sure that he enjoyed it.
00:20:20 Well, that's not the impression he gave me.
00:20:25 What?
00:20:26 No, he was terribly upset
00:20:29 when he came back home at 7:00 last night.
00:20:33 He said he couldn't face the theatre,
00:20:36 and made me go by myself.
00:20:39 He took a sedative tablet.
00:20:43 - Who's that now?
00:20:45 He said that he might ring me down here.
00:20:46 - Would you like me to take it for you?
00:20:53 - Walliston 294?
00:20:55 Good morning, sir. Exchange here.
00:20:58 - My what?
00:21:01 Oh, yes! Thank you very much.
00:21:07 Yes, it was for you.
00:21:08 It was your 8:30 alarm call
00:21:17 What?
00:21:21 Somebody who cannot sleep
00:21:25 did that surprise you, Mr Dobbs?
00:21:30 - Yes, a little.
00:21:35 You see, I have an appalling memory,
00:21:39 so the call was not to wake me,
00:21:44 like a knot in a handkerchief.
00:21:49 What was it that you had to remember?
00:21:53 You see, I almost forgot that, too.
00:22:00 I had to remember
00:22:04 that Samuel was short of sherry,
00:22:10 and that I should call the wine merchant
00:22:19 It won't be necessary anymore.
00:22:24 Well, I've already intruded too long,
00:22:29 If my chief should call,
00:22:32 that I shall be at the Walliston police station
00:22:38 After that, I shall take your advice
00:22:40 and return to Whitehall
00:23:10 Stand up.
00:23:14 - Morning, sir.
00:23:16 Mr Dobbs, sir.
00:23:18 - Stand up!
00:23:20 I've a message from your department.
00:23:22 - Thanks.
00:23:26 Here's Mendel. Asleep on duty.
00:23:30 He's not a proper policeman anymore.
00:23:33 - Make yourself at home.
00:23:35 Would you like me out, too, sir,
00:23:39 No. We'll let the Adviser
00:23:41 while we do something
00:23:46 Someone at the Fennan house
00:23:48 by the Walliston Exchange
00:23:50 I want to find out
00:23:53 and, if possible, by whom.
00:24:00 - Number, please.
00:24:02 And I want to find out
00:24:04 for a morning alarm call,
00:24:06 and if so, let's have all the details.
00:24:08 - Can I help you?
00:24:10 - Supervisor?
00:24:11 Walliston CID here.
00:24:13 There's been a burglary in Merridale Lane,
00:24:15 and we think
00:24:17 that's Walliston 294,
00:24:20 Would you find out whether that number
00:24:24 say, 6:00 yesterday evening?
00:24:26 - 6:00. I'll check that, sir.
00:24:30 Photostat of the suicide note.
00:24:34 They're sending the original
00:24:36 and a copy to Marlene Dietrich.
00:24:37 Marlene Dietrich? Who's that?
00:24:39 Sorry, sir.
00:24:43 Pretty general in the Branch
00:24:45 - Very sorry, sir.
00:24:49 And don't call me sir.
00:24:52 Typed on his own portable.
00:24:54 - What make?
00:24:57 Well, so was the anonymous letter
00:24:59 Well, it's a pretty common make.
00:25:02 - Hello, caller?
00:25:03 - I have some information.
00:25:05 The only thing we have down
00:25:09 Oh, yes?
00:25:10 It was made for 8:30 in the morning.
00:25:12 I wonder when she asked for that.
00:25:14 - 7:55 last night.
00:25:18 - It was a man who made the call, sir.
00:25:23 - Girl's quite sure it was a man?
00:25:27 Oh, I see. Well, that fixes that, doesn't it?
00:25:28 We'll have to think again, won't we?
00:25:31 - You've been very kind. Bye-bye.
00:25:35 Samuel Fennan asked
00:25:38 about two and a half hours
00:25:42 An Olivetti portable!
00:25:44 And so was the letter
00:25:46 Yes, Dobbs, Olivetti's are two a penny.
00:25:49 That is exactly my point!
00:25:53 I think we ought to give the facts
00:25:55 And have a murder case plastered
00:25:59 before it turns out we misled the police?
00:26:02 Before the department makes a fool of itself,
00:26:04 let us at least try
00:26:09 - By all means!
00:26:11 Fennan came home last night at 7:00
00:26:14 and told his wife
00:26:17 Fact: He took a sedative
00:26:20 and sent his wife off to the theatre alone.
00:26:23 Hypothesis, my hypothesis:
00:26:25 He thought the sedative
00:26:27 so he asked the exchange
00:26:29 to give him an alarm call at 8:30
00:26:32 And then committed suicide!
00:26:34 It all hangs together nicely, doesn't it?
00:26:36 I will also hazard the hypothesis
00:26:38 that the sedative depressed him
00:26:41 and that he accordingly shot himself
00:26:44 between 10:30 and his wife's return
00:26:47 The 8:30 alarm call is neither here nor there.
00:26:50 Then why did she have to lie about it?
00:26:51 Why did she say it was for her
00:26:53 Because she thought,
00:26:55 that you would use the alarm call
00:26:58 as a means of evading
00:27:02 And she meant to have
00:27:06 She's a bereaved woman, Dobbs,
00:27:10 Like the Foreign Office and the police,
00:27:16 - Have you anything further to say?
00:27:19 - Please say it.
00:27:23 Fact: You are known to the Foreign Office
00:27:27 Hypothesis, my hypothesis:
00:28:55 Hello, darling.
00:28:57 Back so soon?
00:28:59 How was it?
00:29:01 Well, it was all right, pretty hectic.
00:29:04 I'm sorry I forgot to phone.
00:29:05 - Morning, Mrs Bird!
00:29:08 - Guess who's blown into London.
00:29:11 - Guess. Please.
00:29:12 Dieter Frey!
00:29:18 Servus, Charles.
00:29:22 Oh, Dieter!
00:29:25 Dieter!
00:29:28 Oh, welcome back!
00:29:33 It must be two years.
00:29:36 Yes. We went to that first night,
00:29:39 Oh, that awful old actor
00:29:42 at the Lyric Hammersmith!
00:29:44 What did The Times say?
00:29:46 Oh, yes, he said,
00:29:51 "was infinitely more terrifying
00:29:57 Why did we ever go?
00:29:59 Well, we went because this illiterate
00:30:02 What? That from a man
00:30:05 Have you, Charles? I never knew.
00:30:08 Yes, Faust.
00:30:10 I could still quote them.
00:30:13 We used them as the key
00:30:15 when I was operating him in Austria
00:30:20 Dieter was only 18 then,
00:30:21 but he appeared
00:30:25 Well, not to mention
00:30:29 If it's war memories, I'll do the laundry list.
00:30:37 They were very good days, Charles.
00:30:39 I hate to say it about a war,
00:30:42 The issue seemed clearer,
00:30:47 - I had a brilliant agent in play.
00:30:52 And I was happy about what I was doing.
00:30:57 What are you doing now?
00:30:59 I'm resigning from the Home Office.
00:31:04 Why?
00:31:06 Civil servant was found shot.
00:31:11 This one?
00:31:15 For reasons which I don't approve,
00:31:20 wants me to report it as suicide.
00:31:22 - And you couldn't.
00:31:26 Can you find another job?
00:31:29 Well, I suppose so.
00:31:32 But I'm so angry that I've a good mind
00:31:38 Unofficially, of course.
00:31:40 You mean follow it up alone?
00:31:45 Yes. Unless you'd care to join me,
00:31:49 And be fired by my boss?
00:31:51 I'll bump off your boss
00:31:53 All right. Which department?
00:31:56 We cope mostly with aliens.
00:31:59 - Like me?
00:32:01 What we call undesirable aliens
00:32:06 Am I outstaying mine?
00:32:08 Ann!
00:32:10 Would you call Dieter
00:32:17 Desirable.
00:32:20 Two years ago he was something in zinc.
00:32:23 Now he's something in chocolate.
00:32:28 - Amreins from Zurich.
00:32:32 - How long you staying?
00:32:35 Business lunches, business dinners,
00:32:40 Who knows,
00:32:43 - Oh, tycoon?
00:32:46 Veering to the right, at last!
00:32:48 As the money comes in,
00:32:50 a little further to the right
00:32:55 I'm a socialist capitalist.
00:33:01 Auf Wiedersehen, Charles.
00:33:02 - Give me a call if you can spare the time.
00:33:05 Thank you again for the chocolates.
00:33:11 Bye, Mr Dobbs. See you again tomorrow.
00:33:15 Bye, Mrs Bird.
00:33:18 I must follow her!
00:33:20 Yes, follow her
00:33:27 Using shop windows as reflectors
00:33:32 - if the suspect stops, too.
00:33:37 Your pupil still remembers the handbook.
00:33:41 See you again, Dieter. When?
00:33:44 - I'll send you one of our postcards.
00:33:51 Postcards?
00:33:54 Dieter invented a special way
00:33:57 during the war.
00:34:00 - Did it work?
00:34:05 He never makes mistakes, does he?
00:34:14 I think he made one just now.
00:34:19 He kissed your hand.
00:34:22 You offered him your cheek.
00:34:26 And for the first time in...
00:34:29 What is it, seven years?
00:34:32 He didn't kiss you on the cheek,
00:34:36 as if he had something to hide.
00:34:41 Does it have to be Dieter of all people?
00:34:51 Yes.
00:34:53 - And in this house?
00:34:57 Can I only invite people
00:34:59 or do I have to check them
00:35:02 It's my house as much as yours!
00:35:03 It's not my house! It's not your house!
00:35:07 It doesn't have to be used for...
00:35:08 We only used it for meeting!
00:35:11 I don't want to hear what you were
00:35:18 I wouldn't mind so much if it was
00:35:23 without a thought in his thick skull except...
00:35:28 It's the...
00:35:30 It's the nice ones that I'm terrified of.
00:35:38 Oh, Ann.
00:35:41 Why does it have to be Dieter suddenly?
00:35:45 Like this, after all these years?
00:35:50 He never wanted me before.
00:35:55 And he does now?
00:35:58 Yes, Charles.
00:36:01 When did he tell you?
00:36:05 How did you happen to meet?
00:36:10 He phoned yesterday morning, about noon,
00:36:16 to ask you and me to lunch.
00:36:18 I said you were out on a job,
00:36:21 Doesn't his friendship...
00:36:28 Do you love him?
00:36:32 It's very easy to love Dieter.
00:36:35 Well, we both of us know that.
00:36:39 If I could love one man,
00:36:44 But you can't, can you?
00:36:47 Are you asking me to try?
00:36:49 No, not again, I...
00:36:52 It's not much fun being with you,
00:36:56 But I've never held your appetites
00:37:00 The un-addicted shouldn't blame
00:37:05 I'm just relieved
00:37:11 I wish it were curable.
00:37:15 - Short of locking you up.
00:37:21 I'm going to lock myself out for a bit
00:37:24 - Darling...
00:37:26 I'm just being practical.
00:37:30 - I resigned from the department.
00:37:33 And until I clear this thing up
00:37:36 I'll just be hanging around here,
00:37:39 snivelling about my own personal life
00:37:42 Well, I want to settle this squalid little mess
00:37:46 with the department once and for all
00:37:49 and not to the satisfaction
00:37:53 sanctimonious, bureaucratic nits!
00:37:55 There's been an injustice done
00:37:57 And it'll give me something different
00:37:59 - Different?
00:38:01 - Until you and Dieter...
00:38:05 Why don't you settle
00:38:07 by telling me I'm a nymphomaniac slut!
00:38:09 Kick me out,
00:38:11 but without the feeling
00:38:16 How can you be so bloody aggressive
00:38:20 and so gentle about me?
00:38:34 I've always thought that
00:38:37 being aggressive
00:38:40 and being gentle was the way to keep you.
00:38:47 Well, I've lost my job, haven't I?
00:40:25 Mendel?
00:40:29 Mendel.
00:40:36 Trouble.
00:40:40 No, it's these ants.
00:40:43 I was awake half the night
00:40:47 Here, I'll let you in.
00:40:59 - Come on in.
00:41:01 No, I was flattered you phoned.
00:41:05 I made up a bed for you.
00:41:07 It's not exactly what you're used to,
00:41:12 Come on in.
00:41:15 Oh, God.
00:41:18 - A bit niffy, is it?
00:41:22 Well, it is a bit of a menagerie, isn't it?
00:41:27 Oh, I like these.
00:41:29 Yeah, I prefer the odd ones.
00:41:34 - Did you say trouble?
00:41:38 I was followed, second time today.
00:41:41 Big fair-haired chap
00:41:45 I threw him off near Putney Hill.
00:42:11 He's been booked twice for tax evasion,
00:42:13 once for receiving
00:42:16 four times drunk and disorderly,
00:42:20 He's my type, so leave him to me.
00:42:23 Have you got 10 quid?
00:42:24 Scarr!
00:42:27 Scarr!
00:42:38 Well, he's got to be here.
00:42:51 Here we are.
00:42:58 Scarr!
00:43:03 - Hello, dear. Who are you?
00:43:06 - Eunice? Eunice who?
00:43:08 - Is your dad in?
00:43:10 - Your mum then?
00:43:12 - How many have you then, dear?
00:43:15 - Where are they?
00:43:17 I see. Thank you, dear.
00:43:34 That's funny. I smell copper.
00:43:36 - Adam Scarr?
00:43:39 Would you care to join me and my colleague
00:43:43 It won't take a minute.
00:43:45 - What'll you have?
00:43:48 I see the ladies' glasses is empty, you know.
00:43:50 - Gin and hot.
00:43:52 - Okay, guv'nor.
00:43:54 We've got the constabulary
00:43:58 I always did say
00:44:00 They come bloody miles to see you.
00:44:07 Well, I think you're better out of this.
00:44:10 Wait for me in the car, will you?
00:44:13 Sit down.
00:44:16 Your health, friend.
00:44:19 If you are a friend.
00:44:22 XEL 390. That your car?
00:44:27 Well?
00:44:29 Well, in a manner of speaking, squire,
00:44:31 What the hell do you mean,
00:44:34 - It's on hire.
00:44:36 Times is hard, squire.
00:44:38 - The cost of living, rising stock.
00:44:40 - Fifteen.
00:44:41 Done.
00:44:42 Well, three weeks ago,
00:44:46 A small Scotsman he was. Good shoes.
00:44:50 Posh umbrella
00:44:52 He paid the deposit, took the car,
00:44:55 Daylight robbery, isn't it?
00:44:56 When you hired the car to this Scotsman,
00:45:01 Insurance, name and address, so on?
00:45:04 False, all false, skipper.
00:45:06 He gave an address in Ealing,
00:45:08 and a name,
00:45:11 McTavish, Andrew McTavish.
00:45:13 Now, you've a record
00:45:17 and I know where to find you.
00:45:19 So if you've told me a pack of lies
00:46:20 Who the hell are you?
00:46:24 Hey, you! Come back here!
00:46:39 Name's Dobbs, Charles Dobbs.
00:46:41 Broken right hand
00:46:43 - Look after him, he's important.
00:46:46 I'll be in with the details.
00:47:00 Don't you just stand there.
00:47:03 Scarr! Come outside!
00:47:20 Now look, guv'nor...
00:47:25 Come on, move along. Pick it up.
00:47:30 Nothing to see. Come on.
00:48:01 Recognise anything? Stolen, was it?
00:48:05 By a small Scotsman with good shoes
00:48:08 Decent of him to bring it back, wasn't it?
00:48:13 You've mistaken your bloody market, Scarr.
00:48:42 So, the Scotsman called himself Blondie,
00:48:47 - What's your problem, skipper?
00:48:50 The biggest bloody problem
00:48:52 Contravention of the Road Traffic Act.
00:48:56 Offences under the Official Secrets Act.
00:49:01 Don't go over the bloody moon.
00:49:04 I am, Scarr, I am.
00:49:06 You heard that ambulance just now.
00:49:08 There's a man dying in it,
00:49:11 There's another one dead in Surrey,
00:49:13 and for all I know,
00:49:16 and you're the poor bastard
00:49:20 He might want to put that right, mightn't he?
00:49:21 Not so bloody loud.
00:49:24 Look, I'm in a nice way of business
00:49:27 The pickings is small, but regular.
00:49:30 - At least it were till this bloke come along.
00:49:32 Oh, bit by bit, copper! Don't rush me.
00:49:41 Six months ago he come into the garage.
00:49:45 Dutch, he said he was, and in business.
00:49:50 Look, I'm not pretending
00:49:52 'cause you're not barmy, nor am I.
00:49:53 He was cool, cool as charity.
00:50:00 "Scarr," he says, "I don't like publicity.
00:50:03 "I want a car, not to buy, but to borrow."
00:50:06 Those weren't his exact words,
00:50:08 - I'm giving you the gist of it, you know.
00:50:11 Look, I owed the bookies 40 quid.
00:50:14 The coppers were a bit sensitive
00:50:17 and flogged over in Clapham.
00:50:19 And there was Blondie standing over me
00:50:21 rifling a wad of notes
00:50:24 "Well, what's your proposition?" I says.
00:50:28 "I'm shy," he says.
00:50:29 "I wanna car that nobody'll notice,
00:50:33 "Keep it teed up for me
00:50:39 He give me 500 quid to buy the car,
00:50:41 20 quid in advance
00:50:44 and he says, "There'll be a bonus
00:50:47 How was he to let you know
00:50:50 Well, there wasn't none, till today.
00:50:54 - He just didn't bring it back last night.
00:50:56 - Tuesday?
00:51:01 Didn't bring it back till today.
00:51:03 What was to happen
00:51:06 If you got pinched for bigamy,
00:51:09 I had a phone number.
00:51:12 Primrose 0042.
00:51:14 - Did you ever phone?
00:51:17 Has now, though, hasn't it? Eh?
00:51:19 I think that's my money, isn't it?
00:51:23 You stay put, Scarr.
00:51:27 Why, you can count on me, skipper.
00:51:29 I mean, wouldn't want to get mixed up
00:51:32 - Not when jolly old England is gonna suffer.
00:51:51 Hello, love.
00:51:54 - You eat that nice egg I boiled you?
00:52:00 - I gave some to Alice.
00:52:02 - She's dying.
00:52:05 We'll have to go buy you a new doll then,
00:52:17 I took the liberty of telling Mr Scarr
00:52:20 Oh? Did he cough up?
00:52:23 He coughed. The car was hired
00:52:26 No name, no address,
00:52:30 An emergency telephone number
00:52:33 I traced it to
00:52:36 No reply.
00:52:37 What do you know about this mission, Bill?
00:52:40 Pure as the driven snow,
00:52:43 Four blameless secretaries and a watchdog.
00:52:45 - Who's the watchdog?
00:52:47 If you could get a photograph?
00:52:49 You never said that.
00:52:54 Well, I must go now.
00:52:55 If there is a photograph,
00:52:58 I want to live to see the Adviser
00:53:02 Dr Avers, please. Dr Avers.
00:53:10 Fog's coming up.
00:53:13 Mendel, I'm going to theorise.
00:53:16 I like facts myself, but go ahead.
00:53:19 Let us assume, what is by no means proven,
00:53:22 and the attempted murder of me
00:53:26 So, what circumstances
00:53:29 before Fennan's death?
00:53:32 One: Before the interview
00:53:36 Fennan and I had never met.
00:53:39 Two: The Foreign Office
00:53:42 but did not, did not, repeat,
00:53:44 know in advance
00:53:48 So Fennan had no prior knowledge
00:53:52 nor had anybody
00:53:55 My own department.
00:54:00 Three: I met Fennan in his office.
00:54:05 And then we went into the park
00:54:09 So a possible conclusion
00:54:12 Somebody who was so violently opposed
00:54:15 that he did what Blondie did to me.
00:54:17 Mendel, who is Blondie? Mendel.
00:55:08 Were you on a job, Charles?
00:55:12 No, you're not to worry.
00:55:15 They're letting me out tomorrow.
00:55:17 - Dieter said he thought you might be.
00:55:22 Then what were you doing
00:55:26 Getting drunk.
00:55:28 Because you couldn't get drunk at home.
00:55:33 You can come home, Charles.
00:55:40 I'm trying to tell you if you're really all right,
00:55:47 I think it's better.
00:55:53 Where to?
00:55:58 - Switzerland?
00:56:06 Is he going back?
00:56:09 He will be, in a day or two.
00:56:17 Would it upset you very much
00:56:23 Yes, I think it would.
00:56:38 Don't fly if there's a fog.
00:56:47 - Double, double...
00:56:50 ...toil and trouble.
00:56:52 - Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
00:56:57 Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf.
00:57:01 Witches' mummy, maw and gulf
00:57:04 Of the ravin'd salt sea shark.
00:57:07 Root of hemlock digg'd i' the dark.
00:57:11 Liver of blaspheming Jew,
00:57:14 Gall of goat and slips of yew,
00:57:17 Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse...
00:57:20 Slivered!
00:57:23 Slivered in the moon's eclipse,
00:57:26 Nose of Turk
00:57:30 and Tartar's lips.
00:57:33 Finger of birth-strangled babe
00:57:36 Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,
00:57:39 Make our gruel thick and slab:
00:57:42 Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
00:57:49 For the ingredients of our cauldron!
00:57:52 - Double, double...
00:57:55 ...toil and trouble.
00:57:57 - Fire burn.
00:58:06 Terry, I presume that
00:58:09 "And cauldron bubble,"
00:58:13 And it would help me considerably
00:58:17 if the cauldron were allowed
00:58:20 Yes, yes, all right. Okay. Virgin!
00:58:23 - Let's have that dry ice, shall we?
00:58:29 That one's your best bet.
00:58:30 She's the local solicitor's
00:58:33 You know, it's all the kinky boots
00:58:36 Daddy pays the tuition fees, so we put her
00:58:44 - Sorry.
00:58:46 - Where have you been?
00:58:52 Buying the tiger's chaudron.
00:58:54 I looked up chaudron
00:58:58 It's calves' liver.
00:59:03 Well, you said you wanted something
00:59:07 Mummy can keep it in the fridge
00:59:14 All right, witches!
00:59:17 Let's take it
00:59:21 And Bert, let's have some thunder
00:59:22 Now, come on everybody,
00:59:25 All right. One, "Double..."
00:59:28 Double, double toil and trouble!
00:59:31 - Bend your knees as you go round.
00:59:35 The fire's gone out.
00:59:36 That does it. That's it.
00:59:41 Virgin.
00:59:43 Come over here.
00:59:46 Now look, ducky,
00:59:48 it's not very plausible
00:59:51 that if the cauldron bubbles,
00:59:56 Well, the lightning blew a fuse,
00:59:59 All right. Bijou coffee break, everybody.
01:00:01 Bert, I want to run through
01:00:05 that's the owl's scream, cricket's cry, cat...
01:00:08 Not you, Virgin. There's a fan over here
01:00:11 You're back in five minutes, everybody.
01:00:16 - Miss...
01:00:19 Sorry. Oh!
01:00:22 Can I give you a hand or anything?
01:00:25 Take a rock.
01:00:26 Bert, it's "Thrice the brinded cat
01:00:29 We've only got it twice.
01:00:31 Well, tell the first witch to say,
01:00:34 "Twice the brinded cat hath mew'd."
01:00:39 My name's Savage.
01:00:43 Oh, gosh, what have I done?
01:00:45 Nothing, apart from being able to help me
01:00:49 I've a client who wants to check
01:00:53 on the night of Tuesday, January the 3rd.
01:00:56 - Oh, that's easy. She was here as usual.
01:00:59 Yes, she has this standing order
01:01:01 every first and third Tuesday of the month.
01:01:03 Was Mrs Fennan, would you say,
01:01:05 on intimate terms
01:01:09 Well, gosh, yes, I should think so.
01:01:12 - Is he?
01:01:14 but he's foreign, too,
01:01:17 Musical?
01:01:18 Well, he has this music case just like hers,
01:01:22 and they leave them in the cloakroom and
01:01:26 - Could you describe him to me?
01:01:29 He's big and madly foreign,
01:01:34 I thought he's super.
01:01:36 Didn't turn up? When?
01:01:38 Oh, last Tuesday.
01:01:41 I thought he must have flu or something.
01:01:43 Well, thank you, Miss Bumpus.
01:01:49 "What is that noise?
01:01:53 One of them was me.
01:01:55 Very good, too.
01:01:58 Good morning, sir.
01:02:05 A large dry sherry?
01:02:07 Yes, please.
01:02:09 - And a lager for me.
01:02:21 How did it really happen?
01:02:24 Didn't Ann tell you?
01:02:30 She said you pretended to be robbed.
01:02:33 I didn't want her to be worried.
01:02:37 Are you worried?
01:02:40 Is it the Fennan case?
01:02:42 Look, this isn't what I wanted
01:02:43 Oh, Charles, please!
01:02:46 In any other country,
01:02:49 - This is a ridiculously British scene.
01:02:53 Well, I've never played it before.
01:02:57 because I was certain
01:03:01 - She just wanted to go to bed with them.
01:03:05 Did she tell you that she loved you?
01:03:15 Yes.
01:03:19 - Do you love her?
01:03:26 I'm not a child.
01:03:30 I know that real love doesn't just explode.
01:03:35 If it grows at all, it will grow slowly.
01:03:39 That's why I thought we could,
01:03:44 How long? Her last longest was 11 days.
01:03:54 I don't want you to be hurt.
01:03:58 Thank you. I can look after myself!
01:04:02 Then there's only one thing
01:04:05 Can you look after Ann?
01:04:14 Thank you.
01:04:15 Do you wish to order, sir?
01:04:20 No.
01:04:26 The other occupant of the stalls
01:04:29 - It fits.
01:04:32 They carried identical music cases,
01:04:37 and picked them up after the show.
01:04:39 - Switching cloakroom tickets is an old trick.
01:04:42 Everything that Blondie's done
01:04:44 except that he didn't turn up
01:04:47 So, Blondie might have murdered Fennan
01:04:51 Well, that's purely hypothetical.
01:04:59 Mention of a photograph here, eh?
01:05:12 That's him.
01:05:14 Don't wave it about like a bloody flag.
01:05:17 - I snitched it from files.
01:05:19 Well, his name's Harek, Karl Harek.
01:05:23 Came here as a grateful refugee
01:05:26 His record's as clean as a vestal virgin's.
01:06:31 All clear.
01:06:38 If anything has to be touched,
01:06:41 We haven't the remotest right to be here.
01:07:02 One extension telephone on a table desk
01:07:05 Not even a bloody filing cabinet,
01:07:09 However, an Olivetti portable.
01:07:15 Something odd here.
01:07:17 One, two, three, four,
01:07:21 five typewriters all uncovered.
01:07:24 Now it's conceivable that one secretary
01:07:28 So someone's been examining them.
01:07:30 Mendel.
01:07:32 We're thinking that somebody saw
01:07:35 of the anonymous letter
01:07:38 And that somebody suspects
01:07:40 that that letter could have been typed
01:07:44 - Eh, Mendel?
01:07:46 All we know is five typewriters
01:07:49 - Yes, but what do you think?
01:08:06 The caretaker.
01:08:31 That's Harek.
01:08:34 One of us has got to report that.
01:08:37 Then we're in trouble.
01:08:39 We could tip them off anonymously.
01:08:42 - That seems to be the fashion nowadays.
01:08:45 "Hello? This is a friend here.
01:08:48 "I've just seen a corpse
01:08:50 "so I thought I'd give Scotland Yard
01:08:52 Brilliant. Are you sure you know
01:08:59 Mendel, I think it's time I broke Elsa Fennan.
01:09:17 You could have let me know
01:09:19 - I thought it safer not to let you know.
01:09:22 Can I come in? We haven't much time.
01:09:30 You hurt your hand?
01:09:33 Harek hurt it.
01:09:35 - Who?
01:09:38 He was carrying a cosh
01:09:43 What are you trying to say?
01:09:50 Night after I left you, Harek tried to kill me.
01:09:53 Night after that,
01:09:57 for coming down to meet you at the theatre.
01:09:59 Seems he was trying to kill anybody
01:10:01 who could connect him
01:10:03 Or with the wife who helped Fennan
01:10:08 Now somebody's killed him.
01:10:11 Somebody who thinks
01:10:14 by denouncing your husband to
01:10:20 No.
01:10:21 You told me, Mrs Fennan,
01:10:23 Well, what kind of games did you
01:10:27 when you started to feed the bosses?
01:10:29 They get their strength
01:10:32 Do you really believe that you can control
01:10:35 That you can stop the dance?
01:10:39 What kind of daydreams did you dream,
01:10:43 that had so little of the world in them?
01:10:55 Look at me.
01:10:59 Look at me.
01:11:04 What dreams did they leave me?
01:11:11 I dreamt of children.
01:11:15 I had none.
01:11:18 I dreamt of a beautiful body.
01:11:22 They marked it.
01:11:27 That's when Samuel found me.
01:11:31 He pitied me, he loved me
01:11:36 and he took me away.
01:11:39 He had dreams.
01:11:43 I had none but him.
01:11:55 One year ago in Mürren, on a skiing holiday,
01:12:02 Samuel met that Sonntag.
01:12:05 Sonntag? Sunday?
01:12:08 - Did you ever meet this man?
01:12:10 - Then how did you know his cover name?
01:12:14 What else did your husband tell you?
01:12:17 Well, he told me that Sonntag was his...
01:12:22 - His control?
01:12:25 That he provided the money
01:12:32 But Samuel used to send the money
01:12:36 to the oppressed.
01:12:40 To the poor.
01:12:44 That's the kind of daydreamer he was,
01:12:49 In fact, he never quite grew up after Oxford.
01:12:53 And Sonntag could lead him like a child.
01:12:58 Did your husband ever meet him again
01:13:02 Well, if he did, he never told me.
01:13:03 - Did Sonntag ever come to England?
01:13:06 - Could he be in England now?
01:13:08 Could he have seen your husband
01:13:10 and thought
01:13:12 - Samuel was not a traitor.
01:13:15 Samuel never thought in terms of countries.
01:13:17 - Could Sonntag have told Harek to kill me?
01:13:21 - Did your husband ever describe him?
01:13:25 Why would Samuel give me
01:13:28 You don't even know
01:13:30 And your job was to help your husband
01:13:34 He had helped me. He needed help,
01:13:39 - Mrs Fennan, I understand, but please...
01:13:45 Now go and kill Sonntag.
01:13:51 Don't think I'm on your side.
01:13:55 I'm a battlefield for you, toy soldier.
01:14:01 You can march over me,
01:14:03 you can bomb me full of holes
01:14:06 you can burn me, you can make me barren,
01:14:10 but never pity me, Mr Dobbs, never.
01:14:14 Never tell me you understand my feelings.
01:14:19 Now, go away and kill.
01:14:28 - Any news?
01:14:30 You were right about one of them.
01:14:32 Fennan's suicide note
01:14:35 were both typed on his own Olivetti,
01:14:38 - Key pressures aren't the same.
01:14:41 Well, I've seen the autopsy on Harek.
01:14:43 He wasn't thrown down that lift shaft alive,
01:14:48 by what's called a single degree
01:14:53 Where do you want to go?
01:14:56 Well, will you chaperone me to my home?
01:14:59 - Letters and things like that.
01:15:02 Did Elsa Fennan break?
01:15:04 I don't know.
01:15:21 Bill!
01:15:24 Sorry to barge in, love, but I've been
01:15:28 Finally I rang here just after you spoke
01:15:31 She's gone now, but she said I could wait.
01:15:35 I'll be with you in a second.
01:15:37 Help yourself to a drink.
01:15:38 - I have. What can I get you two?
01:15:41 Not before sundown. Might drop off.
01:15:45 Where the hell has Mrs Bird put my mail?
01:15:50 All right, what's odd?
01:15:52 What's odd, Charlie, is the subscription list
01:15:56 I was there on a routine visit this morning.
01:15:59 It suddenly hit me that I might as well check
01:16:02 in the way of files during the six months
01:16:06 Do you know, during the first five months
01:16:09 he took home quite a heap of policy files
01:16:12 but during the last month
01:16:16 non-secret digests of foreign policy
01:16:19 that anyone could have read
01:16:22 - It fits.
01:16:24 All right. Mendel's right.
01:16:26 It could fit. It could mean one of two things.
01:16:31 Elsa told me this morning that her husband
01:16:35 and that because she loved him
01:16:39 All right! Either she was telling the truth,
01:16:43 in which case Fennan was a spy.
01:16:47 Or Elsa was lying. She was the spy.
01:16:53 Fennan got wind of it. He couldn't endure it.
01:16:58 and denounced himself in a letter,
01:17:04 - Now, why on Earth...
01:17:07 anybody, in Security
01:17:09 without burning his boats
01:17:12 Perhaps somebody
01:17:14 enough to be able to get
01:17:16 instead of a pair of handcuffs and
01:17:21 - Who typed the suicide note?
01:17:24 when he committed the murder
01:17:27 And signed it?
01:17:28 You're not going to tell me
01:17:30 that Harek couldn't have obtained
01:17:34 Are you suggesting that Elsa may have
01:17:39 That's rather a ghoulish thought, Charlie.
01:17:42 She's had rather a ghoulish life.
01:17:47 It's quite possible, of course,
01:17:48 she didn't know
01:17:51 but even if she did know, look,
01:17:53 as a young Jewish girl gets broken
01:17:58 they pull off her wings,
01:17:59 and when she can only crawl
01:18:02 But she survives.
01:18:05 Crippled in mind as well as in body.
01:18:09 She grows older, she looks around
01:18:13 She sees that all her suffering
01:18:17 She sees her persecutors prospering.
01:18:23 Is she a communist?
01:18:27 I don't think she likes labels.
01:18:30 I think she wants to help build one society
01:18:37 I think she wants peace.
01:18:40 The communists have a way
01:18:45 I want to find the communist
01:18:53 Mendel, would you be prepared... Oh.
01:18:57 Mendel, would you be prepared to wake up?
01:19:01 Sonntag!
01:19:05 That's our Mendel. He only likes facts.
01:19:08 That's right. Sonntag is a fact.
01:19:12 Who the hell's Sonntag?
01:19:14 Sonntag is the cover name for the man
01:19:18 that Elsa said was operating her husband.
01:19:21 She said she'd never seen him,
01:19:26 Excuse me, it's from Ann.
01:19:34 I think she was lying.
01:19:39 Could we bluff them
01:19:41 Sonntag and Elsa?
01:19:47 Come with me.
01:20:03 Mrs Elsa Fennan,
01:20:05 34, Merridale Lane, Walliston, Surrey.
01:20:10 Wish you were here.
01:20:13 Signed, S.
01:20:19 It's an emergency rendezvous signal.
01:20:21 How can you be sure you're using
01:20:25 The postcard itself is the signal,
01:20:29 Now when Elsa gets that tomorrow morning,
01:20:30 she's supposed to send
01:20:34 to a prearranged accommodation address.
01:20:37 And the ideal reply would be a ticket
01:20:39 to something that's bound to happen
01:20:43 Like a seat for a concert,
01:20:46 or a reserved place on a train.
01:21:04 She's an unusual colour.
01:21:07 - I'm not sure she's going to have puppies.
01:21:10 - Of course.
01:21:48 Dobbs? She's bitten!
01:21:50 She's taking the 10:42 bus to Victoria.
01:23:22 17 and 18 in row F.
01:23:26 17 and 18, oh, yes, that's fine.
01:23:31 Do you have two gangway stalls
01:23:35 Yes, we have F-12 and 13.
01:24:05 - Did you see the envelope?
01:24:07 - Could you read it?
01:24:11 But as she posted it
01:24:14 and as the theatre tickets were booked
01:24:17 I assumed she wasn't mailing it abroad.
01:24:19 Cor, that's the first time
01:24:22 Yeah, it was sustained by the sight
01:24:26 Then Sonntag's in London.
01:24:27 He'll get the ticket
01:24:29 I took the liberty of buying us
01:24:33 Here.
01:24:34 Me in N-18, on the gangway,
01:24:38 six rows behind Elsa and Sonntag.
01:24:40 A-1 and 2, front row of the dress circle
01:24:42 with a view of row F in the stalls.
01:24:45 Is as Elysium to a newcome soul:
01:24:48 Not that I love the city or the men,
01:24:50 But that it harbours him I hold so dear,
01:24:54 The King, upon whose bosom let me lie,
01:24:58 And with the world be still at enmity.
01:25:02 What need the arctic people love starlight,
01:25:05 To whom the sun shines
01:25:09 Farewell base stooping to the lordly peers,
01:25:13 My knee shall bow to none but to the King.
01:25:18 As for the multitude, that are but sparks,
01:25:21 Raked up in embers of their poverty...
01:25:24 These are not men for me,
01:25:27 I must have wanton poets, pleasant wits,
01:25:31 Musicians, that with touching of a string
01:25:34 May draw the pliant King
01:25:39 Music and poetry is his delight,
01:25:42 Therefore I'll have Italian masks by night,
01:25:45 Sweet speeches, comedies
01:25:48 And in the day, when he shall walk abroad...
01:25:51 She's here, he isn't.
01:25:52 Like sylvan nymphs my pages shall be clad,
01:25:55 My men, like satyrs grazing on the lawns,
01:26:01 Shall with their goat feet dance an antic hay.
01:26:06 Sometime a lovely boy in Dian's shape,
01:26:12 With hair that gilds the water as it glides,
01:26:17 Crownets of pearl about his naked arms,
01:26:21 And in his sportful hands an olive tree,
01:26:26 To hide those parts
01:26:30 Give us a kiss.
01:26:32 Shall bathe him in a spring.
01:26:35 Such things as these
01:26:40 My dearest Lord...
01:26:44 Here comes my Lord the King
01:26:47 I'll stand aside.
01:26:56 Why's he so bloody late?
01:26:58 Lancaster!
01:27:02 My liege.
01:27:05 - Excuse me.
01:27:07 Course, there's no reason
01:27:09 He's not here for the fun of the thing.
01:27:11 - Have you seen Mendel?
01:27:12 If they split up when they leave,
01:27:14 and Mendel will follow him.
01:27:15 You're to go home and stay put
01:27:18 And you can't follow Sonntag
01:27:20 waving that thing
01:27:23 All this supposing that he turns up at all.
01:27:24 Ladies and gentlemen,
01:27:30 And art thou resolute to kill the King?
01:27:32 Ay, ay, and none shall know
01:27:36 Then do it bravely, Lightborn,
01:27:38 You shall not need to give instructions,
01:27:44 I learned in Naples how to poison flowers,
01:27:47 To strangle with a lawn
01:27:51 To pierce the windpipe
01:27:54 Or whilst one is asleep, to take a quill
01:27:58 And blow a little powder in his ears,
01:28:01 Or open his mouth,
01:28:06 But yet I have a braver way than these.
01:28:08 What's that?
01:28:11 Nay, you shall pardon me,
01:28:14 I care not how it is, so it be not spied.
01:28:19 Take this. And never see me more.
01:28:26 I'm sorry.
01:28:27 Look, come on,
01:28:38 He's not that ugly.
01:28:43 Who is he?
01:28:46 His name is Dieter Frey.
01:28:48 I operated him in the war from Zurich.
01:28:53 Do you mean he's on our side?
01:28:55 He was on Russia's side,
01:29:02 For over a month now, he's been getting
01:29:05 so he must have come over to find out why.
01:29:09 He was probably trailing Fennan
01:29:11 when he recognised me in the park
01:29:18 He found out I was.
01:29:21 - How?
01:29:28 - One of us ought to go back in.
01:29:35 I want to be there when they realise
01:29:38 that the postcard was the trap.
01:29:43 All right, come on.
01:29:45 These looks of thine
01:29:49 I see my tragedy written in thy brows.
01:29:52 Yet stay awhile, forbear thy bloody hand,
01:29:58 That even then when I shall lose my life,
01:30:00 My mind may be more steadfast on my God.
01:30:04 What means your highness
01:30:06 What means thou
01:30:08 These hands were never stained
01:30:11 Nor shall they now be tainted with a king's.
01:30:17 Forgive my thought
01:30:22 One jewel have I left,
01:30:28 receive thou this.
01:30:33 Still fear I, and I know not what's the cause,
01:30:35 But every joint shakes as I give it thee.
01:30:39 They know.
01:30:40 O, if thou harbour'st murder in thy heart,
01:30:43 Let this gift change thy mind,
01:30:48 Know that I am a king:
01:30:54 Oh, at that name I feel a hell of grief!
01:30:57 Where is my crown?
01:31:03 You're overwatched, my lord,
01:31:07 But that grief keeps me waking,
01:31:13 For these ten days
01:31:17 As I speak, they fall,
01:31:22 yet with fear open again.
01:31:26 Say, wherefore sits thou here?
01:31:31 If you mistrust me, I'll be gone, my lord.
01:31:35 No,
01:31:37 for if thou mean'st to murder me,
01:31:41 Stay, I will sleep.
01:31:46 He sleeps.
01:32:00 How now, my lord?
01:32:07 Something still buzzeth in mine ears
01:32:11 This is the fear that makes me tremble thus.
01:32:15 Say it, wherefore art thou come?
01:32:22 To rid thee of thy life.
01:32:27 I am too weak and feeble to resist.
01:32:31 Oh, set it down,
01:32:37 and stamp on it.
01:33:31 How say, Lords, was not this bravely done?
01:33:34 Excellent well,
01:33:37 take this for thy reward.
01:33:47 Come, let us cast his body in the moat,
01:33:49 And bear the King's to Mortimer,
01:34:06 She's not applauding.
01:34:09 It's not a woman's play.
01:34:12 I'll take up my position in the lobby.
01:34:26 What's happening down there?
01:35:20 - Yes?
01:35:21 Can you meet me at the embankment end
01:35:24 - Then you followed him?
01:35:27 I nipped out
01:35:30 Before the lights went up?
01:35:33 Mendel? Mendel, hello?
01:36:37 This way.
01:36:39 I allowed him to spot me.
01:36:41 We've got to panic him
01:36:43 He has given himself away.
01:36:44 While you were leaving, he strangled Elsa
01:36:47 Single degree pressure
01:36:49 - Oh, God. Did you tell the police?
01:36:52 I'll telephone, you wait here.
01:36:54 Okay.
01:37:04 Servus, Charles.
01:37:11 Tell your friend that if he tries that again,
01:37:15 - Can I go to him?
01:37:23 Me next?
01:37:26 Don't force me.
01:37:28 Without a gun, and only one hand,
01:37:32 I couldn't even strangle
01:37:37 Elsa was trying to defect.
01:37:41 She typed the anonymous letter
01:37:44 and drew the attention of Security.
01:37:46 Fennan typed it.
01:37:48 He wanted to tell us unofficially
01:37:53 Somebody else knew.
01:37:56 Somebody else sent a postcard.
01:38:01 You sent it?
01:38:04 The way I used to when we were friends,
01:38:08 You trapped me.
01:38:10 An hour ago, I hoped it wasn't you.
01:38:16 - Why?
01:38:21 You'd seen me with Fennan in the park.
01:38:25 You used her to keep track of me.
01:38:30 I only did
01:38:32 what many other men with less justification
01:38:39 How much does he know?
01:38:41 Only that you're wanted.
01:38:44 Then the leaks are plugged.
01:38:49 I've had to hurt you,
01:38:52 - In two hours, I'll be out of the country.
01:38:57 Are you going back to her in Zurich?
01:39:14 Charles! Charles!
01:39:50 Dieter!
01:39:53 Dieter!
01:40:16 By the way,
01:40:19 "Indicated?"
01:40:21 He was on the run at the time.
01:40:24 Must have been eating his own words.
01:40:27 We want you back.
01:40:30 Think about it.
01:40:51 Ladies and gentlemen,
01:40:55 Will you please fasten your seat belts?
01:41:07 Departure to London by Swissair Flight 824,
01:41:14 Charles!
01:41:33 I got your wire.
01:41:36 Yes.
01:41:40 Charles, are you a little drunk?
01:41:49 What happened?
01:41:59 I have to tell you.
