00:00All righty, Mr. Drake, here's your passport, airline ticket, seat reservation, cars outside.
00:17Oh, and I filed those papers you asked me to file them.
00:19Don't worry, Helen, everything's in hand.
00:22Goodbye, Helen.
00:22Goodbye, Mr. Drake.
00:23Thanks very much.
00:24Oh, and don't forget, cable Bill and Kitty and tell them I'll call them as soon as I
00:27get to Rio Airport.
00:28Enjoy yourself, it's about time you took a vacation.
00:32Yes?
00:34Oh, no.
00:36It's not fair.
00:37What's the matter?
00:38Mr. Gordon's on his way down.
00:39There's a situation cropped up in Korea.
00:41Oh, he can't do this to me.
00:42Go now, quickly.
00:43No, they'll get me at the airport.
00:45This is the third time.
00:46Why does it always happen to you?
00:57Mr. Drake.
00:58It's all right.
01:00Stay with me.
01:01Keep busy.
01:02Do something.
01:06Hi, morning, Henry.
01:07Morning, John.
01:08Just leaving.
01:08Leaving?
01:09Oh, yes.
01:09Your vacation, of course.
01:11That's right.
01:12Why, of course.
01:13You wouldn't have any other ideas, would you?
01:14Well, as a matter of fact, the situation has just cropped up in Korea.
01:17We wondered if you might like to fly around to Rio that way.
01:20It won't take much longer.
01:21Oh, is that an order?
01:22If you'd like to put it that way.
01:24Yes, it is.
01:26All right, Mr. Gordon.
01:27I'm on my way.
01:28When you're finished there, Helen, would you cancel my Rio reservation for me, please?
01:33Duty calls.
01:34Great, Mr.
01:46Are you all right?
01:48On top of the world, Mr. Gordon.
01:50You've been drinking?
01:51Huh?
01:52Oh, no, just a couple of snorts, just to keep me ticking.
01:55It's this time of the morning?
01:55When did you last have a holiday, John?
01:59Oh, three or four years ago, but don't worry about it, Henry.
02:01Work comes first with me.
02:02You've seen the doctor lately?
02:03Huh?
02:04Oh, yeah, yeah.
02:04What did he say?
02:05Take a holiday.
02:06I think that's what you'd better do, John.
02:08We'll send somebody else to Korea.
02:10Oh, no, no, no, no, Mr. Gordon.
02:11I wouldn't let you down.
02:11I'm on my way right away.
02:13You're on your way to Rio, John, and that's an order.
02:15Take your time.
02:16If you'll say so, Henry.
02:18Okay, if you'll say so.
02:21Bye, Helen.
02:22Bye, Henry.
02:24Quick, Mr. Drake.
02:25Every government has its Secret Service branch.
02:45America at CIA, France, Desi and Bureau, England, MI5.
02:50A messy job?
02:51Well, that's when they usually call on me or someone like me.
02:54Oh, yes.
02:56My name is Drake.
02:58John Drake.
02:59Oh, lucky me, old Aaron, have you been?
03:17Just bring the green canvas bag.
03:19Leave the rest for now, will you?
03:20Thanks.
03:21I returned from two weeks on safari, and now all I wanted to do was sleep.
03:36Oh, pardon me.
03:37Would you mind taking your boat away and playing with it somewhere else?
03:53Who are you?
03:54My name is John Drake.
03:55I'm tired, and I want to sleep.
03:56Mr. Drake, at last.
03:58Here, try this on, and then I'll be able to get home.
04:00Well, no one's stopping you.
04:01Is that you, Drake?
04:02Well, where did you get to?
04:03I'll be looking for you everywhere.
04:04I'm Commander Ford.
04:05Good for you.
04:06Now tell me what it's all about.
04:07Just fixing a leak in the cylinder.
04:08Fine.
04:09Now take your toys away, and go and play in your own bathtub.
04:10I had planned.
04:11You know what it's all about.
04:12You know what it's all about?
04:13Mr. Drake?
04:14Mr. Drake, at last.
04:15Here, try this on, and then I'll be able to get home.
04:16Well, no one's stopping you.
04:17Is that you, Drake?
04:18Well, where did you get to?
04:19We're looking for you everywhere.
04:20I'm Commander Ford.
04:21Good for you.
04:22Now tell me what it's all about.
04:23Just fixing a leak in the cylinder.
04:24Fine.
04:25Now take your toys away, and go and play in your own bathtub.
04:27I had planned.
04:28I had plans for you.
04:29I got plans for myself.
04:30Nice long spell on my bed, when I can get to it.
04:33British intelligence.
04:34What's your problem with my friend?
04:35A KX-35 has gone ashore 200 miles south of St. Camel.
04:37So?
04:38It's a miniature submarine.
04:39Prototype.
04:40On the secret list.
04:41Navigation by remote control from mother.
04:42I'm Commander Ford.
04:43I'm Commander Ford.
04:44I'm Commander Ford.
04:45Good for you.
04:46Now tell me what it's all about.
04:47Just fixing a leak in the cylinder.
04:48Fine.
04:49Now take your toys away, and go and play in your own bathtub.
04:51I have plans for you.
04:52I've got plans for you.
04:53I've got plans for myself.
04:54Nice long spell on my bed.
04:55When I can get to it.
04:56Navigation by remote control from mothership.
04:58What am I supposed to do about it?
05:02We want you to go and blow her up.
05:04You're joking.
05:05Can't you tow her off?
05:07I'm not even going to try her.
05:09Why not?
05:10We've had dealings with their government before.
05:13If they get wind of what's really at stake,
05:15they'll tie the whole thing up for days
05:17while they give the other people a free show of every secret inside her.
05:21Oh no, Mr. Drake.
05:22Not this time.
05:23The orders are for us to find and destroy her.
05:25For me to find and destroy.
05:26For me to find and destroy?
05:28Why me?
05:29Well, we can't do it ourselves.
05:31We don't want to cause an international incident.
05:33It was a great piece of luck your being here.
05:35Lucky for whom?
05:37Of course, you'll admit to no attachments.
05:40You'll just be working on your own.
05:42They play a buff down there, don't they?
05:44I doubt it.
05:45They can't do more to you than send you to prison.
05:47A couple of years at the outside.
05:48Oh, that's reassuring, isn't it?
05:50You know her position?
05:51Yes.
05:52I'll show you.
05:54What was your KX-35 doing inside their international limits,
05:58if it's not a rude question?
06:00Not at all.
06:01The steering failed outside international limits.
06:04She went on a reef here.
06:07The observer crew got away in a rubber dinghy.
06:09They were some distance off when a large wave lifted the sub clean over the reef.
06:13Now, the last they saw of her, she was drifting landwards with only a cunning tarchearing.
06:17Well, I suppose at that depth her drift wouldn't be affected by wind, would it?
06:21Hardly.
06:23Now, let me see.
06:26By time, tide and current, we can say that she must have gone ashore
06:30somewhere along this stretch of coast here.
06:32Many people around there?
06:34No, very remote.
06:35The chances are she won't even have been sighted yet.
06:38Speed is the essence of the exercise.
06:40You had to get your gear together at rather short notice.
06:43It's not 100%, I'm afraid, but it'll see you through.
06:47The explosive.
06:49Very effective.
06:50But temperamental.
06:52Oh, in what way?
06:53Well, the timing device is inclined to be a little erratic.
06:56Why, how much?
06:57As much as five seconds either way.
06:59We were going to send it back.
07:01Lucky we didn't.
07:02I'm very fortunate.
07:03Lost a man testing the other day.
07:05But you won't be wanting any split second timing.
07:07We're taking you in a helicopter.
07:10We're putting you down in the sea in this craft here.
07:12About three miles offshore, an hour before dawn.
07:15The rest is up to you.
07:20Things went wrong from the start.
07:22We struck engine trouble with the hired helicopter.
07:25It was not till two hours after dawn that I reached the shore
07:28and paddled round the headlands and inlets looking for KX-35.
07:33But there was no sign of it.
07:35It was already high water.
07:37I decided to climb to the top of the cliff.
07:55From that angle, I'd be able to see below the surface.
08:07But in case someone came up the beach while I was away,
08:11I decided to hide my gear.
08:13I was feeling uncomfortably conspicuous.
08:16I was feeling uncomfortably conspicuous.
08:46I was feeling uncomfortably conspicuous.
08:47I was feeling uncomfortably conspicuous.
08:52I was feeling uncomfortably conspicuous in the sky.
08:53I feel so much not.
08:54I'm a brother.
08:55Who are you?
08:56A beautiful morning, senorita.
08:57What are you doing here?
08:58I've come to fish.
08:59They say the group are very good around here.
09:00Corto?
09:04Underwater fishing.
09:05fine horse senorita. how did you get here? by fishing boat. they're going to pick me up later.
09:11what fishing boat? you know what senorita? i think you're a policeman. you have no right here.
09:18you're trespassing. oh now does it matter? the air is free. i will not have people on my land.

09:28have the pleasure of fishing on your very beautiful beach. that way. walk. very well. you feel so strongly
09:37about it. i went quietly. if i put up too much resistance they would have become suspicious.
09:49why were they so anxious to get rid of me?
09:51i'll throw in my oil concession.
10:02and my gold mine. what have you got there?
10:07you shot. you cheated. it's not fair. how do you draw such cards? it's unnatural.
10:12no no you can't swivel somebody else.

11:03what could i do to hurt you? you afraid that i would take it away from you? why are you so afraid senor?

11:28be back to the jungle again. get out! get out from my house! sorry senor. i speak only the truth.

12:10don't worry. i don't worry. i don't think you can't fight.
12:20corto? si.
12:28please get in with me.
12:37what did you say to my father?
12:39It's time to find out why you're all so anxious to get rid of me.
12:43We do not like strangers here.
12:45Particularly at this time.
12:46Ah, you see, senor, it is fate for me to stay here.
13:10I'm sorry if I offended you, senor.
13:12I was perhaps impolite, but then you were not very hospitable.
13:16Just because a foreign craft is washed up on your shore is no reason to treat me like a...
13:20You did say it, then.
13:21Your daughter told me about it.
13:22Melina, you told him about the submarine?
13:25She's lying. I never said...
13:27That's right. Neither did I. I just said a foreign craft.
13:29It was you, senor, who mentioned the submarine.
13:31He can't leave now. He will have to stay.
13:34Ah. Now, senor, I understand why you are so unfriendly.
13:38You did not wish for your secret to be discovered.
13:40You have told the authorities yet?
13:42No. Perhaps they would not pay you for the information.
13:46The British consulate, perhaps.
13:48It's none of your business.
13:50Very well.
13:52You found her on your property. You deserve to be rewarded. I am willing to pay you.
13:57What is your interest in somebody?
13:59Or private interest. Let us say a personal whim. I wish to blow her up. I am willing to pay $5,000 for the privilege.
14:05No.
14:06Ten.
14:07Very well, senor. Since you've been so hospitable, I will pay you ten.
14:12And where do you find $10,000, senor?
14:15Here are five.
14:17Your pardon?
14:19And the rest?
14:20The rest in two days. Here. I promise.
14:23It's agreed. I take your word.
14:25It's no use. It's too late.
14:27No, it's not. You want the explosive?
14:28Yes.
14:29You must go and blow the vessel up right away.
14:30What's the hurry?
14:31No questions, please. It is now or not at all?
14:32Very well. Her position, then.
14:33Do you not know it?
14:34No, I do not know it.
14:36Come inside.
14:38It is among some rocks.
14:40There.
14:41Beneath the surface?
14:42Part of it shows above the water at low tide.
14:44But that is not for two hours yet. You must not wait.
14:46I shall need my diving gear.
14:48Oh, no.
14:49Oh, yes. It's necessary to fix the charges inside the hull.
14:51But I emptied the cylinders. I let the oxygen escape.
14:54Why did you do that?
14:55To stop him from getting to the submarine.
14:57Now we shall have to wait for low water.
14:59Oh, no. That will be too late.
15:09Here is your money. Now please go away at once.
15:12This is not the British Council.
15:14No. I phoned them last night. We promised them photographs.
15:18Money is so important to you. Even their money?
15:21Do you think it matters to me what color their money is?
15:24The plantation is bankrupt.
15:26I've got my father and my sister to think of.
15:28You were prepared to break your promise to these gentlemen.
15:30You offered five times as much as they did.
15:34Here. The money, it is yours. I need your help.
15:39If I can blow her up before they get the photographs,
15:41I will still give you 10,000.
15:43All right.
15:53Senor?
15:54Senorito Piero.
15:56Yes, senor?
15:57Major Hassler at your service. We have come to take the pictures.
16:00Oh, I'm afraid I have bad news for you, Major.
16:04Indeed?
16:05The submarine has gone.
16:07It must have washed further down the coast.
16:09You brought me all this way to tell me that?
16:11It was a great disappointment to us all, Major.
16:14And who are you, sir?
16:15My name is Mender.
16:16Oh, then you are not one of her family.
16:18I am the senorita's fiancée. It's a very great honor, Major.
16:21Congratulations.
16:22And at what time did you first notice that the submarine had gone?
16:26At dawn. I looked down from the top of the cliff.
16:29There was no sign of it.
16:31Are you sure you are not mistaken?
16:33Oh, certain. I could not have missed it.
16:36How very extraordinary, senorita.
16:39Because, you see, I flew over there only an hour ago,
16:42and she was there beneath the surface, just where you reported her.
16:46What are you up to? What game are you playing at?
16:49I was not here last night.
16:51Otherwise, I'd never have allowed Molina to make such an arrangement with you.
16:54But the senorita's already promised.
16:56Yes, but the offer is shameful.
16:58We must have $5,000 in cash before you take a single photograph.
17:02We have already agreed on the prize.
17:04Yes, but there is no agreement, Major.
17:06Get off our estate. Go now.
17:08Fedor.
17:10Show senor Mendez the agreement, please.
17:14Not legal, but compelling.
17:18Well, very well. If you wish to play like this.
17:22I think you will admit, senor, that the agreement is now broken.
17:28Leave it.
17:30You are very impetuous, senor Mendez.
17:33And the cost of the camera will be taken out of your payment.
17:36Return to the port and do not come back without another camera.
17:38All right.
17:39And don't be too long. We can only get the pictures at low water.
17:43At midday, I think you said.
17:47And would you be so good as to have a meal prepared for us?
17:50We've had a long journey and we are hungry.
17:53Senor Mendez, where are you going?
17:56Oh, the estate will not run itself. There is work to be done.
17:59Then you will have to leave it.
18:00No one is allowed to leave this house till we have all gone.
18:03Very well.
18:04I work.
18:07You can always wait, senor.
18:10Thank you, my dear.
18:23You should have told me about it before.
18:28It is not important. I'm sure he left.
18:30I don't like it, Papa.
18:32Where did he come from? That is the question.
18:34What are you talking about?
18:35Huh?
18:36Oh, it is nothing.
18:38You had better tell it, my dear.
18:40Come, senorita, tell me.
18:42What is it?
18:44It was early this morning. I was on a cliff top.
18:47I saw a man.
18:48On the beach, you know.
18:50How did he get there?
18:51By boat, perhaps.
18:52Did you see a boat?
18:54No.
18:55Perhaps he's hidden it.
18:56What was he doing there?
18:58I don't know.
18:59Came to fish, perhaps.
19:01Was he fishing?
19:02No.
19:03He had the diving basket and the...
19:06Cylinders.
19:07Cylinders.
19:08Spearing underwater.
19:09It ruins the fishing, you know.
19:11Was he near the submarine?
19:13Well, in the next bay.
19:16He was looking for it.
19:18There's not much he could do about it if he found it,
19:20except blow her up, perhaps.
19:22But he could not get to it until low tide.
19:25He had the diving gear.
19:27Come.
19:28We must go to the beach at once.
19:29Try the quickest way down, huh?
19:31Please, quickly.
19:32There's someone around here.
19:38Is this where you saw him?
19:42Yes, I'm searching.
19:43He must have left tracks.
19:45Search the beach.
19:46See what you can find.
19:52Look.
19:54There are horse tracks here.
19:56But look, a man.
19:57Hey!
19:58Murder!
19:59Look!
20:00I was right.
20:02And a mark.
20:03A chart of this coastline.
20:08The drift of the submarine is marked to this very piece of coast.
20:12Well, don't just stand there.
20:13See what else you can find.
20:14Give him a hand to pull it out.
20:27Careful.
20:28There might be explosives.
20:30Where is Senor Mendez?
20:42I think...
20:43Major!
20:44See what I have found.
20:45An ammunition buck.
20:46There's only one charge left.
20:47I wonder what he did with the rest.
20:48He has taken them with him.
20:50Huh?
20:51Here, leave that.
20:52Come with me.
20:53We'll try this way far.
20:54You stay here.
20:55If I wanted to.
20:56Don't move.
20:57It will go off.
20:58Hey, careful.
20:59It may already be mine.
21:00He's right fed off.
21:01Let him try.
21:02Be careful, it may already be mine.
21:23He's right Fedor.
21:24Let him try.
21:32Stop him!
21:42Stop him!
21:43Stop him!
22:02Open up!
22:03Open up!
22:04Open up!
22:05Open up!
22:06Open up!
22:07Stand clear.
22:21The charge I set on the beach was due to go off in 45 seconds.
22:25I hoped the diversion would be my chance to escape.
22:28The charges in the submarine were set to go off a few seconds later.
22:32I was praying that the commander's thermal fuses would not prove too temperamental.
22:37Wait, Major!
22:39Time to get away from here!
22:41Accept the charges!
22:42It is blowing up in 30 seconds from now!
