00:03:30Now you stand there, filling my pipe and disturbing me terribly.
00:03:37Can it be possible that we've only known each other such a short time?
00:03:43Just seven days.
00:03:44It seems much longer than that.
00:03:46Yes, but much has happened, Jane.
00:03:48We've had a perfectly glorious time.
00:03:53And until ten minutes ago, I was possibly the happiest man in the whole world.
00:03:59But now I'm...
00:04:22What does it say?
00:04:24Oh, I forgot you. You don't know German.
00:04:28Germany has declared war on Russia.
00:04:31War?
00:04:33May I go pray? I have a boy who will be called.
00:04:37Yes, Hans, please go.
00:04:40War is a ghastly thing.
00:04:43God knows what this may lead to.
00:04:58It's probably a good thing you're going.
00:05:01You'll be safer in London.
00:05:04You're not going away because... because of someone else.
00:05:08Oh, no.
00:05:10You mustn't think that.
00:05:12There's no one else.
00:05:14There couldn't be.
00:05:17Eric, will you say goodbye to me, dear?
00:05:21Why, dear?
00:05:24Because I want my last thought of you to be here in this garden,
00:05:27where we've been so happy together.
00:05:30Last thought?
00:05:32You don't mean that this is really goodbye?
00:05:36No, not goodbye.
00:05:39Just Auf Wiedersehen.
00:05:54Bye-bye.
00:06:24Bye-bye.
00:06:54Bye-bye.
00:07:10Good morning.
00:07:12Ah, good morning, Miss Gershwin.
00:07:14Prompt as usual.
00:07:16Just to show you that I don't need much more prompting.
00:07:18We shall see.
00:07:24Good morning.
00:07:55Now I hope you're as perfect in your lessons as you were yesterday.
00:07:58I think I shall be. It's becoming second nature to me.
00:08:01Right.
00:08:03You are now no longer Jane Gershon.
00:08:05You are Ellen Courtier.
00:08:08Who is this?
00:08:10Major General Sir George Crandall, KCB.
00:08:13How long has he been in command of the border?
00:08:15Two years.
00:08:17Who is this?
00:08:18Lady Crandall.
00:08:19How did you first meet Lady Crandall?
00:08:21Our mothers were friends.
00:08:23Have you seen much of Lady Crandall in the last few years?
00:08:26Not since I was 14.
00:08:28Has your family kept in touch with Lady Crandall?
00:08:30My sister Pauline writes to her all the time.
00:08:33And it was through her that Lady Crandall invited you to visit your border?
00:08:36Yes.
00:08:40What was the name of your governess when Lady Crandall knew you?
00:08:43Elizabeth Breckin.
00:08:45And what is your name? And after whom were you named?
00:08:47My name is Ellen Courtier. I was named after my Aunt Ellen.
00:08:52Where have you been living the last three years?
00:08:54In Paris, studying the violin.
00:08:56Anywhere else?
00:08:57No.
00:08:58That's splendid, Miss.
00:09:001893.
00:09:02Correct, number 1893.
00:09:05I think you pass anywhere, under any test.
00:09:08I will, because I feel as though I really am Ellen Courtier.
00:09:12We have to be careful, because I feel this house is being watched.
00:09:16Would you like to know the plans again?
00:09:18I don't think it's necessary. I have a picture of every room in my head.
00:09:31You'd better take this. You never know when you may need it.
00:09:34You have all your instructions.
00:09:36Yes, but are you sure there's no chance of the actual Miss Courtier appearing?
00:09:41None whatever.
00:09:43We have taken good care of that.
00:09:46And the passport?
00:09:47Here.
00:09:50Also, her violin.
00:09:54I hope Miss Gershwin still plays the violin as well as ever.
00:09:57Yes. And where is the luggage?
00:10:00Her luggage is at your hotel.
00:10:13I almost believe it myself.
00:10:16Of course, I don't have to tell you to be careful.
00:10:19Chief Walter is not exactly a pleasant spot for people in our line of endeavor.
00:10:23I'll be careful.
00:10:25I want to impress upon you that this is not only an unusually important mission, but an unusually dangerous one.
00:10:32Under no circumstances whatsoever must you reveal your identity, except by the innocent use of your number.
00:10:39Remember, you're acting absolutely alone, without assistance.
00:10:44In enemy country, your sex cannot save you.
00:10:48Male or female, you are a spy.
00:10:53I understand perfectly.
00:10:55There's no more to be said, except...
00:11:04As German as I. Perfect, my dear.
00:11:09As German as I. Perfect, my dear.
00:12:04So your name is Buckley now.
00:12:06You certainly have a great deal of courage to come back here at this time.
00:12:10I... I don't know what you mean.
00:12:13You know exactly what I mean, Belkae.
00:12:17Sergeant.
00:12:18Sergeant of the Guard.
00:12:19Sergeant of the Guard. Two men.
00:12:21Quick march.
00:12:27Left turn. Left turn. Quick march.
00:12:37Left turn.
00:12:43Not a very pleasant thing to see on landing, I'm afraid.
00:12:46No, it isn't.
00:12:48I'm sorry, but it's war.
00:12:54Miss Cotier?
00:12:55Miss Cotier.
00:12:57May I ask why you are in Gibraltar?
00:13:00I've come to visit Lady Crandall.
00:13:03Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:13:05If you don't mind waiting a minute or two, I'll see that Lady Crandall knows you're here.
00:13:08That's very kind.
00:13:10You see, in order to go through the fortifications, one has to have an escort.
00:13:13I understand. And how long must I wait?
00:13:17Possibly 10 or 15 minutes, Miss Cotier.
00:13:20If you'd rather wait in that hotel across the street to Paris, I'll send the car over there.
00:13:27Boy, take this lady's bags across the street.
00:13:42Put my bag just over there.
00:14:23Good morning, mademoiselle. I'm the mate to the hotel.
00:14:25Good morning.
00:14:26I am at your service.
00:14:28You see, I'm the guest of Mr. George and Lady Crandall.
00:14:31I'm just waiting for the car.
00:14:33Oh, and while you are waiting, permit me to offer you the hospitality of my private office.
00:14:38That's very kind.
00:15:03May I?
00:15:11I see your mademoiselle is a musician.
00:15:14Not a very good one, I'm afraid.
00:15:16Violins are my hobby.
00:15:18Oh, yes?
00:15:19Will you permit me to look at yours?
00:15:22By all means.
00:15:27Oh.
00:15:30Oh.
00:15:33Tremendous.
00:15:34I should like to play it.
00:15:46I see you have my favorite melody.
00:15:51That's odd.
00:15:53Do you know it, too?
00:15:55Not very many people do these days.
00:15:59It's not so old.
00:16:02It was written in 1889.
00:16:08No. 1893, I believe.
00:16:12So, you are 1893.
00:16:17I'm glad you've come, Frau Leinz.
00:16:19Ich wurde nervös.
00:16:21And you are 1889.
00:16:24But tell me, how did you ever recognize me?
00:16:28I was told to look out for a pretty lady
00:16:32carrying a violin case marked DC.
00:16:37Everything is working fine.
00:16:41For 12 years I've served the Bundesrat,
00:16:44in Constantinople, in London, and here on the Rock.
00:16:47But never before has there been such an opportunity.
00:16:52Well, let's get down to business.
00:16:57Have you studied the plans for the fortification of the Rock?
00:17:00No.
00:17:01I remember them quite well.
00:17:02You see, I was here seven years ago.
00:17:27Here are the plans that will give you the details you need.
00:17:30Study these tonight and burn them before you sleep.
00:17:34And be careful.
00:17:36Yes, sir.
00:17:37You know room B?
00:17:39Yes, as I remember, that's next to the governor's office.
00:17:42Right.
00:17:43Now, in that room there's a safe
00:17:45to which only two have the combination,
00:17:47the staff major and myself.
00:17:52There it is.
00:17:54The dual combination.
00:17:56It sounds all too easy.
00:17:58Don't fool yourself.
00:18:00There are two sentries on duty by day
00:18:02and one by night watching that room.
00:18:05Well, the sentries are only human.
00:18:10The safe is not.
00:18:15It is charged with ensuring the safety
00:18:18It is charged with electricity and will kill anyone.
00:18:24Anyone who doesn't know the right way to touch it.
00:18:28And how am I to learn the right way?
00:18:30Let me show you.
00:18:36There are three handles on the panels on the bouquet.
00:18:39Yes.
00:18:41The two on the right you turn so.
00:18:46And the bouquet on the wall will slide away exposing the safe.
00:18:50Then what?
00:18:52Now, on this safe there are two dials.
00:18:56I see.
00:18:58But if you stand in the natural position to open the safe
00:19:01and touch those two dials,
00:19:03you'll not only give the alarm,
00:19:05you'll electrocute yourself.
00:19:07Electrocute myself.
00:19:10That's a charming idea.
00:19:13But if you stand 16 inches back from the safe,
00:19:21so,
00:19:24and forward,
00:19:27you can work the combination without danger.
00:19:29Oh, you're right.
00:19:31And in the event that you are, then what?
00:19:44In the drawer marked D,
00:19:48there is a key.
00:19:52Tomorrow morning early,
00:19:55you must get it out.
00:19:57For at five minutes to five,
00:20:00number 54 will come to you for it.
00:20:04And who is number 54?
00:20:06That none of us know.
00:20:08But he will meet you there and make himself known to you.
00:20:11Until then, you must work alone.
00:20:29Beg your pardon, sir, but there's an officer here.
00:20:33An officer?
00:20:34Yes, sir, with a car for Miss Courtier.
00:20:37Miss Courtier?
00:20:38Yes, sir.
00:20:40Oh.
00:21:10Oh, I see.
00:21:13Miss, Miss Courtier, I presume?
00:21:15Yes, I am Miss Courtier.
00:21:17Well, I'm the general's aide, you know.
00:21:19Oh.
00:21:20I've been sent down to escort you to his quarters.
00:21:22How do you do, Captain?
00:21:24Oh, really, please forgive me, I haven't introduced myself, have I?
00:21:28I'm Lieutenant Archibald Plantagenet Chumley,
00:21:34Royal Garrison Artillery.
00:21:36How do you do, Lieutenant, sir?
00:21:38Oh.
00:21:39Yes, it's an awfully long name.
00:21:40Don't you bother with it, please.
00:21:43Most of my friends, and quite a lot of people who really aren't my friends at all,
00:21:48call me Archie.
00:21:50Just plain Archie.
00:21:53But is this so sudden?
00:21:55Yes.
00:21:58The luggage is in your car, sir.
00:22:00Oh, all right, thank you.
00:22:02Shall we go?
00:22:08Yes.
00:22:39Please.
00:22:44Miss Courtier and Lieutenant Chumley.
00:22:51Lady Canberra.
00:22:52My dear.
00:22:54I was nearly going to call you child, but you've grown into a woman.
00:22:59A beautiful woman, if I might say so.
00:23:02That's awfully kind of you.
00:23:04Somehow, I don't recognize you at all.
00:23:07You've changed, sir.
00:23:09Changed?
00:23:10Why, yes.
00:23:11I think that you're being entirely different.
00:23:13Then I suppose you've surprised everybody.
00:23:15You know, as a child, you weren't particularly good looking.
00:23:18But now, you've developed into a most extraordinarily beautiful woman.
00:23:22Oh, rather, Lady Crandall, yes.
00:23:25Most extraordinarily beautiful.
00:23:27I think, sir, Sir George was looking for you a moment ago, Archie.
00:23:31Right, so that means I've got to go and report, I suppose.
00:23:34I should if I were you, Archie.
00:23:36It will make you any happier.
00:23:37You may tell your fellow officers from me that Miss Courtier is grade A.
00:23:42Oh, really, Lady Crandall.
00:23:44And that you'll be here for several weeks.
00:23:46Oh, I'm so glad.
00:23:47You know, I'll be seeing you again, Miss Courtier.
00:23:50Yes.
00:23:52Goodbye, Archie.
00:23:54I beg your pardon.
00:23:55Goodbye.
00:23:56Oh, goodbye.
00:23:58Yes, of course.
00:23:59Goodbye.
00:24:02He's a nice boy, but still a boy.
00:24:04Oh, but you let me think about it, dear.
00:24:06Come and sit down.
00:24:08I'm so glad you brought this.
00:24:10Oh, my sister has a picture like this, Archie.
00:24:13Yes, I know.
00:24:14It's my favorite one.
00:24:15Rather sad, isn't it?
00:24:17That's why I sent it to all my friends.
00:24:19But tell me, how is Pauline?
00:24:21Splendid.
00:24:22Very happy.
00:24:23Very busy with the family.
00:24:25You know, it always gives me a shock when I think of Pauline having children.
00:24:29But I'm glad.
00:24:31Why, it seems only yesterday we used to rock together.
00:24:35Indeed, it made me feel quite old when I saw you standing at the door.
00:24:38Somehow or other, I didn't expect you to be just as you are.
00:24:43I suppose we all change.
00:24:45I don't think you look a day older.
00:24:48But tell me, how is Sir George?
00:24:50Oh, Sir George is very well.
00:24:52And he's very worried.
00:24:54I suppose it is a great responsibility being in command of Gibraltar, particularly now.
00:25:00Well, it isn't only that.
00:25:01Well, he's dreadfully upset because of Spies.
00:25:04Spies?
00:25:05Yes.
00:25:06The intelligence department has notified him to take every precaution.
00:25:09But surely it's impossible for a spy to come here?
00:25:12Gibraltar?
00:25:13That's just it.
00:25:14It isn't impossible.
00:25:15Why, only this morning they caught a man at the barrier.
00:25:17Did they think he was a spy?
00:25:19Think it, my dear.
00:25:20They knew it.
00:25:21Sir George is just arranging for his trial.
00:25:23What fellows.
00:25:30Oh, Sir, thank goodness that's over.
00:25:42Yes, there's nothing I hate more than a court martial.
00:25:45I think we should be locked up at once.
00:25:48Come in.
00:25:50Captain Woodhouse, Sir, the Royal Engineer.
00:25:53Woodhouse?
00:25:54Engineer?
00:25:55Yes, Sir, that's the new staffer to assist me.
00:25:57Oh, yes.
00:25:58Show him in.
00:26:00Major General Cranvill, Sir?
00:26:02Yes.
00:26:03So you're Woodhouse, eh?
00:26:04Yes, Sir.
00:26:05Glad to have you with us, Woodhouse.
00:26:06Thank you, Sir.
00:26:07This is Major Bishop.
00:26:08How do you do, Sir?
00:26:09How are you, Woodhouse?
00:26:10Have you brought your movement orders?
00:26:12There you are, Sir.
00:26:14Thanks.
00:26:15Had an eventful journey?
00:26:16Not particularly, Sir.
00:26:17I came through Spain.
00:26:18Spain?
00:26:19Yes.
00:26:20Spain.
00:26:21Spain.
00:26:22Spain.
00:26:23Spain.
00:26:24Spain.
00:26:25Spain.
00:26:26Spain.
00:26:27Spain.
00:26:28I came through Spain.
00:26:29France, of course, is in a turmoil.
00:26:31The line is chaotic.
00:26:33Paris is black as pitch after dark.
00:26:35You know, everybody there is suspected of being a spy.
00:26:38Our intelligence department is suspicious, too.
00:26:42They think that the Willemstrasse has agents everywhere.
00:26:46The orderly told me that you caught a spy trying to slip through this morning.
00:26:49We did.
00:26:50We've just come from the court-martial now.
00:26:52Caught red-handed.
00:26:54Four devils to be shot tomorrow morning.
00:26:56I couldn't have admired his luck, though.
00:26:59Our intelligence department thought he might have accomplices on the run.
00:27:02And they offered him his life if he betrayed the master spy.
00:27:05Of course, he denied everything.
00:27:08Oh, that's all right, Woodhouse.
00:27:10Now, look here.
00:27:12There's something for you to learn.
00:27:16It's the surfer's job to keep it working.
00:27:27Quite Joe, that's clever, sir.
00:27:29How do you do it?
00:27:30There's a lot about this room you'll have to learn.
00:27:33The duplicitous controls of all the harbor defenses are here.
00:27:36Where?
00:27:37Oh, concealed, of course.
00:27:40You'll soon learn all about our little tricks,
00:27:42except the combination of that safe.
00:27:45That's Bishop's secret.
00:27:47Yes, I hope no fool tries to meddle with it.
00:27:50I'm afraid not.
00:27:52That's Bishop's secret.
00:27:54Yes, I hope no fool tries to meddle with it.
00:27:57It would be a convenient method of suicide.
00:28:00I see Lady Crandall's having some friends to tea.
00:28:02Why don't you come over?
00:28:03Oh, thank you very much, sir.
00:28:05But, uh, this must be.
00:28:06Haven't I got a change of the uniform?
00:28:08Oh, that's all right, my boy.
00:28:22Oh, thank you.
00:28:52Oh, thank you.
00:29:22Oh, I say.
00:29:23That was a good thing.
00:29:25I loved it.
00:29:30Captain, I have a favor to ask of you.
00:29:33I see.
00:29:34Well, I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:36You have a nice day, Captain.
00:29:40Good-bye, Captain.
00:29:41Thank you, sir.
00:29:42Good-bye, Captain.
00:29:43Good-bye, sir.
00:29:44Good-bye, sir.
00:29:45Good-bye, sir.
00:29:47Good-bye, Captain.
00:29:48Good-bye, sir.
00:29:49Good-bye, sir.
00:29:50Good-bye, sir.
00:29:51Captain Woodhouse.
00:29:52How do you do, Captain Woodhouse?
00:29:54How do you do, Lady Crandall?
00:29:56You've arrived at a very appropriate time.
00:29:58Do you know anyone here?
00:30:01No, I'm afraid I don't.
00:30:04May I inquire who was playing so delightfully?
00:30:06Oh, Ellen Courtier.
00:30:08And she's just as beautiful as her play.
00:30:10Would you care to meet her?
00:30:11I would like to.
00:30:14Ellen, dear.
00:30:22Ah, I see you know each other.
00:30:24Why, yes.
00:30:25Yes.
00:30:26You do know somebody, then.
00:30:28Well, I certainly didn't expect to find, Miss Co...
00:30:31I didn't expect to find you here.
00:30:34Small world, isn't it?
00:30:36Yes.
00:30:37Archie, come along.
00:30:42Let's go and get some tea.
00:30:43Oh, I don't need it, Miss Courtier.
00:30:45Archie?
00:30:46But you didn't tell me you were coming here.
00:30:48I?
00:30:49Oh, I didn't get a chance to tell you anything.
00:30:53You were the one who did all the telling.
00:30:55You told me you were going to London.
00:30:58Let us go out on the balcony.
00:31:03Right.
00:31:04Right.
00:31:06Goodbye.
00:31:10Thanks.
00:31:12I beg your pardon, sir.
00:31:14I beg your pardon, sir.
00:31:16That Mr. Capper insists on seeing you, sir.
00:31:19Capper?
00:31:21Capper?
00:31:22He said he was with you in India, sir.
00:31:26Oh, that Capper.
00:31:29Show him in.
00:31:30Very well, sir.
00:31:31And, uh, you stand there.
00:31:36Very well, sir.
00:31:45Well?
00:31:47You haven't forgotten that service I did for you in India, Jerry?
00:31:50Of course not.
00:31:52You were paid for it, weren't you?
00:31:54Yes.
00:31:57What I've been hearing about you since then
00:31:59hasn't been altogether, uh, uh, complimentary.
00:32:03I hope it isn't true.
00:32:05Well, I did go to India, sir.
00:32:07I did go to India.
00:32:08I did go to India.
00:32:11I hope it isn't true.
00:32:13Well, I did go to pieces a bit for a while.
00:32:15I was sick.
00:32:17I've been running him pretty hard for the past two years.
00:32:20But they can't keep me down much longer.
00:32:22I'm going to show them.
00:32:24I hope so.
00:32:25I'm sure.
00:32:27You wanted to see me about.
00:32:29I'm an Englishman.
00:32:31You know that.
00:32:32I may be down and out.
00:32:34And my friends may not want to know me when we meet.
00:32:36But I'm English.
00:32:37And I am loyal.
00:32:39Yes, yes, I'm sure.
00:32:40I have no doubt about that.
00:32:42I just wanted you to keep that in mind, General,
00:32:44while I talk.
00:32:47General.
00:32:49Remember Crane?
00:32:51That chap in Burma.
00:32:54Crane?
00:32:56No.
00:32:57You haven't forgotten him, General.
00:32:59You haven't forgotten how he lived in Burma
00:33:01a couple of years mingling with the English
00:33:04until someone suddenly found out that his real name was Krantz
00:33:07and that he was a mighty unhealthy chap to have about.
00:33:11Surely, General.
00:33:13Yes, I remember him now.
00:33:15And there was Alice Broughton, too.
00:33:16I'd like you not to speak about her.
00:33:17I'm sorry, General.
00:33:18But you thought she was all right
00:33:20until a couple of Secret Service men
00:33:22walked into Lady Langdon's drawing room and took her away.
00:33:25Some con warrior driving her out with it.
00:33:29General.
00:33:31You couldn't let me have a little drink, could you?
00:33:34One peg of decent scotch.
00:33:37Well, if it'll help you to talk more intelligently.
00:33:45I've just come from the Paris Hotel, General.
00:33:48There was a girl there today
00:33:50had a private confab with Alvin.
00:33:53She said her name was Coochie.
00:33:57Well, what of it?
00:33:59Remember Crane, General?
00:34:02Remember Alice Broughton?
00:34:05What do you mean?
00:34:09What do I mean?
00:34:10I mean that this girl who calls herself Coochie
00:34:12isn't Coochie at all.
00:34:14She's a spy.
00:34:15What?
00:34:18Armadi.
00:34:20Show this man out.
00:34:21Sir, help me, General.
00:34:22I'm telling you the truth.
00:34:23I know the real Ellen Coochie.
00:34:25I knew her in Paris.
00:34:27I can't prove what I say,
00:34:29but the wildest dreams of the Willem Strasser come true.
00:34:32They've got a girl here right in your quarters, General.
00:34:36I don't believe it.
00:34:37It's true all the same.
00:34:40I'm warning you.
00:34:41That's all I can.
00:34:44Now.
00:34:47Now I'll go.
00:34:51Good day.
00:35:03Goodbye, Capa.
00:35:10Goodbye, Sir George.
00:35:33I told you once I couldn't give you an explanation.
00:35:37And I still can't.
00:35:39But Jane, it's different now.
00:35:41You mustn't call me Jane.
00:35:43My name is Ellen Coochie.
00:35:45Oh, now I understand.
00:35:48When I met you in Germany, you thought perhaps
00:35:50it would be a nice little adventure,
00:35:52a romantic adventure with a stranger.
00:35:55So you gave me an assumed name.
00:35:58And then left me.
00:35:59You needn't have done that, Jane.
00:36:01You could have been honest with me.
00:36:02I was.
00:36:03Then why did you tell me your name was Jane Gershon?
00:36:07I can't tell you anything.
00:36:10But now you say your name is Coot...
00:36:14Good heavens, Jane.
00:36:16You don't mean to tell me that Cootie is an assumed name.
00:36:19No.
00:36:20I am Ellen Coochie.
00:36:22Do you realize what you're doing?
00:36:24Do you know what could happen to you?
00:36:26Only this morning they picked up a suspect at the barrier.
00:36:29I know.
00:36:30He was right in front of me when he was arrested.
00:36:32What happened?
00:36:33What did they do?
00:36:34If you're interested in knowing,
00:36:36he's to be shot first thing tomorrow morning.
00:36:39Oh.
00:36:40This is war, Jane.
00:36:42When that poor devil tried to get through here this morning,
00:36:44he didn't know that his own side had sold him out.
00:36:47It's too horrible.
00:36:48Horrible, yes.
00:36:49It is horrible.
00:36:50Why?
00:36:51It's too horrible.
00:36:52Horrible, yes.
00:36:53It is horrible.
00:36:54Once I had to attend the execution of a spy.
00:36:57He didn't die like a hero, poor fellow.
00:37:01He died like a dog.
00:37:04But don't you think, after all,
00:37:06a hero is one who, knowing he may die a dog's death,
00:37:09still carries on?
00:37:14I thank you, Father.
00:37:16Lady Crandall sends her condolences to Captain Woodhouse.
00:37:19He requests the pleasure of his company at dinner.
00:37:24I'll be delighted.
00:37:32You were here as a junior officer, weren't you?
00:37:35I was, sir.
00:37:37Then I want you to come over to dinner tonight.
00:37:40Yes, sir.
00:37:41But this chart of the mines.
00:37:43Well, never mind that.
00:37:45Let the new aid do it.
00:37:47It's even more important.
00:37:50I've just heard a ridiculous story.
00:37:53Nevertheless, I can't afford to ignore it.
00:37:56Yes, sir.
00:37:57What is it?
00:37:58Well, it's preposterous, of course.
00:38:01But I've just been told that our guest, Lady Crandall
00:38:06Sprend, is a spy.
00:38:11You don't say.
00:38:14Was it a reliable person who told you, sir?
00:38:16Not at all.
00:38:18I shall have to investigate.
00:38:21I want you to help me cross-examine her.
00:38:24Very well, sir.
00:38:26Shall we bring her in here?
00:38:29Oh, no.
00:38:30Nothing official.
00:38:31We must do it in a more casual fashion.
00:38:37What do you remember about 1907?
00:38:42Let me see.
00:38:44Cragan was governor.
00:38:47Cragan.
00:38:49Then she must remember his wife.
00:38:54That's a thought.
00:38:57What do you mean?
00:38:59You have a portrait of her hanging in your drawing room, sir.
00:39:02No one who ever knew her could fail to recognize it.
00:39:06Let's try her on Lady Evelyn.
00:39:09Splendid.
00:39:10That's a splendid idea.
00:39:14Come on over tonight.
00:39:15Out with you, sir.
00:39:19Tell me, why don't you like Gibraltar?
00:39:23It's too suggestive of war and death.
00:39:27This is the quietest place imaginable.
00:39:30It used to be an old monastery.
00:39:33It seems funny to think of a lot of old fat monks
00:39:36sitting around toasting their toes in front of this very fireplace.
00:39:40Yes, it would be funny.
00:39:41As a matter of fact, that fireplace has only been built five years.
00:39:46Five years?
00:39:47Yes, Lady Crandall told me so.
00:39:50Oh.
00:39:53What are you doing, Archie?
00:39:54Trying to frighten Ellen?
00:39:55Oh, I say.
00:39:58You know, Archie can lose his heart more easily than any boy I've ever known.
00:40:03Oh, he's in good company then.
00:40:05Is that sarcasm or admiration?
00:40:07Oh, no.
00:40:08You know, I've often told Archie it's a good thing Lady Evening isn't here now.
00:40:12Lady Evening Cragan?
00:40:13Yes, Sir David Cragan's wife.
00:40:14Of course.
00:40:15She was a terrible flirt.
00:40:17That's her portrait here.
00:40:19Can't you tell?
00:40:20Oh, yes.
00:40:22Yes, she has that come-hither look in her eyes.
00:40:29I hope you're enjoying yourself, Miss Courtier.
00:40:32Oh, she's having a splendid time, sir.
00:40:34I suppose you take care of that.
00:40:35Yes, sir.
00:40:37It's been so nice to have you come and dine with us.
00:40:40Oh, believe me, Lady Crandall, it's a pleasure that I've missed.
00:40:43But you know how I'm chained to my desk.
00:40:46Like Atlas, carrying the whole weight of the rock on your shoulders.
00:40:51Well, I shall hope to come more often, now that I have Woodhouse to divide the weight.
00:40:56Oh, coffee or liqueur?
00:40:59A liqueur, if I may.
00:41:02Won't you join me at Woodhouse?
00:41:03Yes, thanks, old man.
00:41:04I will.
00:41:07I'm surprised you don't remember Mr. Coutier, Bishop.
00:41:12I'm afraid he doesn't remember the Nike youngster that once was me.
00:41:16He was a lieutenant then.
00:41:18And subletons have eyes only for the colonel's wife.
00:41:22I suppose the old rock looks familiar to you, Mr. Coutier.
00:41:26But seven years is a long time.
00:41:29Let me see.
00:41:31You were here, sir, when Cragen was governor.
00:41:33Yes, yes, sir, Sir David Cragen.
00:41:37Did you know him, Woodhouse?
00:41:39No, no, I think not.
00:41:40Oh, he's a caulking chap.
00:41:42He's a big, blustering sort of a fellow.
00:41:46Wasn't he, then?
00:41:48Why, no.
00:41:49As I remember, Sir David was a short, fat man.
00:41:53Rather bald, with a saber scar.
00:41:58Of course, so he was.
00:42:01Yes, my mistake.
00:42:02How stupid of me.
00:42:03I must have been confusing him with someone else.
00:42:07I imagine so.
00:42:08The reason I remember Sir David so well
00:42:11is because I've had tea with him in this room many times.
00:42:15The place seems very much the same after seven years.
00:42:19Do you notice any change?
00:42:21Why, no.
00:42:24Somehow this fireplace doesn't look familiar to me.
00:42:27I'm sure you have a good memory, Miss Coutier.
00:42:29It wasn't built, then.
00:42:31Though a woman is privileged to forget,
00:42:33it's sometimes very important that she have a good memory.
00:42:39There is.
00:42:40Then you, uh, you must remember Lady Cragen.
00:42:43How could I ever forget?
00:42:46Seven years or seven.
00:42:48No one could ever forget her.
00:42:50So it was the general's wife and not the girl's.
00:42:55But she was a wonderful woman.
00:42:57Yes, indeed.
00:43:01Do you think her picture is like her, Miss Coutier?
00:43:03It's perfect.
00:43:27Simply perfect.
00:43:29I always thought the hair was gorgeous, and the eyes.
00:43:34What a good expression.
00:43:39Tell me, does it still make your heart beat faster, Major?
00:43:46Well, yes, it's dashed good like this.
00:43:51For my part, I think Lady Evelyn brought great discredit to the British Army.
00:43:56Just think, one small woman capturing an entire garrison.
00:44:01And I always thought Gibraltar was impregnable.
00:44:04And it is, to the ordinary invader.
00:44:15Look, Sir George, ships, dozens of them, all grey and wonderful.
00:44:22What does it mean, Sir George?
00:44:24That's the British Mediterranean Squadron, my dear.
00:44:27Wonderful, wonderful.
00:44:29There's the Parliament of the Pride of England.
00:44:32Gives one quite a thrill, doesn't it?
00:44:35Yes, it probably thrills our friend the enemy in a rather different way.
00:44:42You know, it always gives me quite a homesick tug to see those grim old dogs.
00:44:47I haven't been to the home to the little island in four years.
00:44:50It seems as though the old rock was to have quite an awakening.
00:44:53Yes, Sir.
00:44:54And you're just the kind of girl to do it.
00:44:59Charlie.
00:45:00Yes, Sir?
00:45:01Go and find out the latest reports from the fleet.
00:45:03At what time they'll be ready to sail.
00:45:05Yes, Sir.
00:45:07Well, Bishop, and what do you think of Miss Courtier?
00:45:12Oh, that's all right.
00:45:13He knew her before.
00:45:14And it's just as well that he should know what we suspected,
00:45:17even though I'm now convinced that I was wrong.
00:45:21I'm not so sure.
00:45:23Well, she knew about the fireplace,
00:45:26and she recognized the ship as well as I did.
00:45:29I'm not so sure.
00:45:31I'm not so sure.
00:45:32Well, she knew about the fireplace,
00:45:35and she recognized Lady Evelyn's portrait.
00:45:38What's the trouble, Sir?
00:45:39Gosh, a fellow I shouldn't have listened to.
00:45:41Came to me with a story that your friend wasn't Miss Courtier at all,
00:45:45but a German spy.
00:46:02Oh, Jane, I'm glad I found you.
00:46:05I've been looking for you.
00:46:06I wanted to speak to you alone.
00:46:08I wanted you to explain.
00:46:10Explain?
00:46:12Captain Woodhouse, I think it's you who owe me an explanation.
00:46:16I don't understand.
00:46:18You never told me you were an officer in the British Army.
00:46:21I made no attempt to conceal it,
00:46:23but I think it's you who owe me an explanation.
00:46:26I don't understand.
00:46:27You never told me you were an officer in the British Army.
00:46:30I made no attempt to conceal the fact.
00:46:32If you didn't, you were very reticent about it.
00:46:36Jane, if I was, it was because I had a definite reason.
00:46:39It was very difficult for you to understand me when I told you I had a reason.
00:46:43But that's it.
00:46:44I believe you.
00:46:46I'm willing to take your word.
00:46:48That's because I care for you,
00:46:50and I want you to care for me.
00:46:52I do.
00:46:54And, Jane, if you do, you must promise me this one thing.
00:46:57You don't know.
00:46:58You can't possibly know the risk you're running.
00:47:00I wouldn't ask you if it weren't for the fact that I love you.
00:47:03But here you're running a terrible risk.
00:47:05If anything should happen, why...
00:47:07You must promise to do as I ask.
00:47:10What is it?
00:47:11Leave the rock as fast as you can by the next boat.
00:47:18Well?
00:47:21I can.
00:47:24So that's your answer?
00:47:28Please try to understand.
00:47:30I understand.
00:47:32Perfectly.
00:47:36Well, what is it?
00:47:37Excuse me, sir.
00:47:39Major Bishop requests that you see me immediately in room B.
00:47:43Very well. I'll come at once.
00:47:54Your answer is still the same?
00:48:01Good night, Mr. O'Higgins.
00:48:11Sir?
00:48:13Ah, there you are, Goodhart.
00:48:15What did you want me to do, sir?
00:48:17None of your care.
00:48:19Here's a chart of the harbor and straits.
00:48:22This is the plan showing the distribution of the mines.
00:48:26Please check them and send them out to the fleet immediately.
00:48:30Right you are, sir.
00:48:32Well, good night.
00:48:34I'm off to see the admiral.
00:48:36Fleet closes at dawn.
00:48:37Good night, sir.
00:48:45I'm sorry, lady. You can't go in that room.
00:48:48But it's very important.
00:48:50No, lady. Orders is orders.
00:48:53What's the trouble?
00:48:55I have something to say to you, lady.
00:48:58All right, send her in.
00:49:21That is a beautiful sight.
00:49:23Each one is a little world within itself.
00:49:26But tell me, why are the lights blinking all the time?
00:49:30They're sending messages.
00:49:32Do they send messages all the time?
00:49:36Jane, you didn't come in here to ask questions.
00:49:40You said you had something important to tell me.
00:49:44I hope you think it's important.
00:49:47Well, what is it?
00:49:51I came to tell you that...
00:49:53I love you.
00:49:55Jane!
00:49:57It's not easy for me to tell you this, Eric.
00:50:00To swallow my pride and follow you.
00:50:03But I couldn't bear to see you leave me like that.
00:50:06I just had to tell you.
00:50:09Darling!
00:50:20Captain Woodhouse.
00:50:22Miss Cotty.
00:50:24What's the meaning of this?
00:50:26How did you get in here?
00:50:27I let her in, sir. I...
00:50:29It was my fault, Sir George.
00:50:31I insisted upon coming in.
00:50:33So because you insisted, Captain Woodhouse broke the rules.
00:50:37You must be a very eloquent persuader, Miss Cotty.
00:50:40And as for you, Woodhouse, this is hardly an auspicious beginning.
00:50:45Chumley.
00:50:46Yes, sir.
00:50:47Will you please escort Miss Cotty to her quarters?
00:50:49With pleasure, sir.
00:50:50And when you go, lock this room.
00:50:53Yes, sir.
00:51:00Captain Woodhouse.
00:51:02I wish to talk to you.
00:51:05I'm sorry.
00:51:16I say the... The old gentleman certainly was boiling.
00:51:20Do you suppose he's going to be very severe with Captain Woodhouse?
00:51:23Well, I... I don't know how severe he'll be,
00:51:25but I wouldn't like to be in Woodhouse's boots for the next half hour.
00:51:29Although I...
00:51:30I wouldn't have minded being in his boots for the last half hour.
00:51:34You know, I don't blame Woodhouse.
00:51:38I'd let you go anywhere you wanted.
00:51:47I feel just like a prisoner.
00:51:49And you're my guard, taking me to myself.
00:51:51Yes. Isn't it jolly?
00:51:54Why?
00:51:55Well, I... I've never had you to myself for five minutes yet.
00:51:59Some bounder always comes barging in.
00:52:01Now that you're in my official charge,
00:52:03I've got you alone at last.
00:52:05But only from here to my room.
00:52:07Oh, that's all right.
00:52:08He certainly ordered me to take you to your room.
00:52:10But he didn't say how long I was to take...
00:52:13taking you.
00:52:14Oh, I see.
00:52:16Well, I mean, we might, uh, sort of dilly-dally the way.
00:52:21We might what?
00:52:23Dilly-dally.
00:52:24Loiter.
00:52:25Rally round. Huh?
00:52:27You know, I know a lovely place.
00:52:30Here.
00:52:32We might listen to the nightingales sing.
00:52:35Are there nightingales on Gibraltar?
00:52:37No.
00:52:38But there are monkeys.
00:52:40Don't you remember?
00:52:41Why, Gibraltars are overrun with monkeys.
00:52:44I remember Lady Cudderford.
00:52:55Oh, look.
00:52:56We can watch the fleet, too.
00:52:58Yes.
00:52:59Rather pretty, isn't it?
00:53:01It's more than pretty.
00:53:02It's beautiful.
00:53:04It's hard to think of them being fighting machines.
00:53:07They look so peaceful now.
00:53:09Somehow their blinking lights remind me of fireflies dancing.
00:53:14Yes.
00:53:15I like watching the blinking lights, too.
00:53:19Let's sit down.
00:53:23I'd love to see them when they spring to life.
00:53:26When they sail out to sea in formation.
00:53:28It must be beautiful.
00:53:31I'd like to stay up all night and wait until they sail.
00:53:34Topping idea.
00:53:36I'll stay up all night with you.
00:53:39Yes.
00:53:40They sail tomorrow at dawn.
00:53:43At dawn?
00:53:44Yes.
00:53:45Six o'clock.
00:53:47The dawn round here is rightly early.
00:53:50Yes.
00:53:56Do you know what makes tonight especially beautiful for me?
00:54:01No.
00:54:03You.
00:54:05No.
00:54:06Yes.
00:54:08I feel very much honored that I should be so important in the life of
00:54:11Lieutenant the Honorable Archibald Plantagenet Chumlee.
00:54:14Oh, Miss Cordier.
00:54:16Alice.
00:54:17I mean Helen.
00:54:19Ellen.
00:54:20Please don't drag me.
00:54:22You know I'm dreadfully sincere.
00:54:24Yes.
00:54:25You know, ever since you arrived here, I've been walking about in a daze.
00:54:30You know, you have possibly the most blue eyes I've ever seen.
00:54:36And I just adore blue eyes.
00:54:38Yes, I love blue eyes.
00:54:42Would you mind going away, old man?
00:54:46Thanks.
00:54:47Thanks so much.
00:54:49You know, ever since you came here, I've been walking about all goofy.
00:54:53You know, you have possibly the bluest eyes I've ever seen.
00:54:58Yes, I adore blue eyes.
00:55:01And yours are the bluest in the whole wide world.
00:55:05Darling.
00:55:07Now, now, Archie.
00:55:08Oh, but Helen, you are so gorgeous.
00:55:11What if Sir George should see you now?
00:55:13Oh, bother Sir George.
00:55:16Helen.
00:55:17No, but really, I have to go to my room.
00:55:19Won't you take me?
00:55:20Lady Crandall is waiting for me.
00:55:22Is she really?
00:55:23Yes.
00:55:24Why didn't you tell me?
00:55:25You're so fascinating, I almost forgot.
00:55:27Oh, there you are, laughing at me again.
00:55:29Come along.
00:55:38Well, I brought you back safely.
00:55:41Much as I regret it.
00:55:43Good night, Archie, and thank you.
00:55:47Good night.
00:55:52Oh, I say.
00:56:52Good night.
00:57:22Good night.
00:57:52Good night.
00:57:53Good night.
00:58:22Good night.
00:58:23Good night.
00:58:52Good night.
00:59:22Good night.
00:59:47So it is you.
00:59:49Eric.
00:59:51I came here expecting to find someone.
00:59:54But I hoped it wouldn't be you.
00:59:57Why did you expect to find someone?
01:00:09You do this as skilfully as you played that tune.
01:00:12You know, the one written in 1893.
01:00:15You.
01:00:16You of all men.
01:00:19Surely you can't be number 54.
01:00:23Yes.
01:00:24I am number 54.
01:00:34Please.
01:00:35Oh, please, get away from here.
01:00:37Before you're seen.
01:00:38I'll put the key back and no one will ever suspect.
01:00:41No, Jane.
01:00:42I tried before to get you out of here.
01:00:44I tried before to get you to go.
01:00:45And now I beg you again to give up this.
01:00:47Don't waste time.
01:00:49Please hurry, for my sake.
01:00:51For your sake?
01:00:53But I've always heard that you, number 1893,
01:00:56were the most fearless and ruthless woman in the service.
01:00:59Oh, Eric, please go.
01:01:01I have told you I love you.
01:01:03If you love me.
01:01:04Do you think I could leave you here to bear the brunt of this alone?
01:01:07No.
01:01:08No.
01:01:17Eric, you couldn't do this.
01:01:20Come here, dear.
01:01:22Look.
01:01:24You couldn't send those sleeping men to their death.
01:01:27Trapped like rats.
01:01:29Mangled.
01:01:31Tortured.
01:01:33Drowned.
01:01:35The man who loved me couldn't do that.
01:01:39Now you're talking like the woman I love.
01:01:42Not like the ruthless 1893.
01:01:46But why?
01:01:47Why are you pleading for these men?
01:01:50I'm not pleading for them.
01:01:52But for you.
01:01:58Why?
01:02:00Because I love you.
01:02:03I love you more than my duty.
01:02:05More than my life.
01:02:09And there's only one end for the man who does this thing.
01:02:14Death.
01:02:15With his back against the wall.
01:02:19Why, Jane.
01:02:35What am I doing?
01:02:38Don't you realize that what you're asking me to do is impossible?
01:02:41But you can't go on with this, Eric.
01:02:43It's all too horrible.
01:02:44What are the lives of those swinehunds to me?
01:02:46If I fail in this, it means my life.
01:02:48I'm not like Belky who sold us out.
01:02:51And for a woman, too.
01:02:52He's to be shot at dawn.
01:02:54Oh, but Eric.
01:02:55Oh, the time is getting short.
01:02:57The guard will soon be here to change centers.
01:02:59You go to your room at once and let me get this thing done.
01:03:02I'm not going to let you do it, Eric.
01:03:04I love you.
01:03:05Love? You speak of love.
01:03:06You were a traitor to the fatherland.
01:03:08The love of such a woman as you is an insult.
01:03:12You call my love an insult.
01:03:16So this is the real Eric.
01:03:18Then you'll see another side of the woman you tricked.
01:03:21You said 1893 was fearless and ruthless.
01:03:24I am.
01:03:26And unless you give me back that key, I'll kill you.
01:03:32Oh, but Jane.
01:03:34You couldn't do that.
01:03:35You wouldn't force me.
01:03:37But if you do, you'll leave me only one alternative.
01:03:40To raise the alarm.
01:03:47What's that?
01:03:53The firing squad.
01:03:55For Belky.
01:03:58Ready.
01:03:59Aim.
01:04:00Fire.
01:04:06You'll see, Eric.
01:04:08That's what will happen to you.
01:04:11I couldn't stand it.
01:04:13The man I loved couldn't die like that.
01:04:20I couldn't let you feel that I had died like...
01:04:23Like Belky.
01:04:25Give me that key.
01:04:27Do you know what you're doing?
01:04:29Do you realize that you're sending me to my death?
01:04:57Eric.
01:05:06Auf Wiedersehen.
01:05:14Eric!
01:05:15Eric!
01:05:16Eric!
01:05:26Eric!
01:05:46Eric!
01:06:17Amadi.
01:06:25I have been listening to you and...
01:06:29That weekling.
01:06:32Watching you both.
01:06:36You made a pitiful creature out of a brave man.
01:06:42And a useful one.
01:06:47You sent him to his death.
01:06:52And as he died...
01:06:56So will you die.
01:07:07But first...
01:07:09First, you'll see the man you pitied.
01:07:14As you so aptly put it.
01:07:17Langer.
01:07:19Tortured.
01:07:22And drowned.
01:07:40But you can't be number...
01:07:42Yes, I am number 54.
01:07:46You, Sir George's faithful servant.
01:07:49Yes, I, Sir George's faithful servant.
01:07:53I have waited ten years for this.
01:07:56But Eric...
01:07:58He was sent to help me.
01:08:00And you killed him.
01:08:02For nothing.
01:08:04I don't need to tell you what these are.
01:08:09This one...
01:08:12Is the master control to the mines.
01:08:15Which will destroy the fleet.
01:08:17And bring death to the men I hate.
01:08:21And your death also.
01:08:23You, Sir George's faithful servant.
01:08:26Yes, I, Sir George's faithful servant.
01:08:29And you, Sir George's faithful servant.
01:08:32And your death also.
01:08:34You fool.
01:08:36Your death.
01:08:38Your hand will be found in the control.
01:08:41And I, Amadi, will have shot a spy.
01:08:46But too late.
01:08:56Thirty seconds or the relays will be set for the mines under the fleet.
01:09:02Yes, Sir George's faithful servant.
01:09:32Left turn.
01:09:53Left turn.
01:09:58Left turn.
01:10:00Left turn.
01:10:02Right turn.
01:10:04Left turn.
01:10:06Left turn.
01:10:10What?
01:10:14Amadi!
01:10:17What's happened?
01:10:19General Crandall.
01:10:21Your servant was an enemy spy.
01:10:24I want you to understand that no matter what Miss Kerche may have done.
01:10:28You can now thank her for the safety of the fleet.
01:10:32Come in here.
01:10:41Sir George, it's owing to Eric, Captain Woodhouse, that the fleet is safe.
01:10:47Please don't be too hard on him.
01:10:52But don't you know?
01:10:55I know the intelligence department certainly have a peculiar way of working.
01:11:00They didn't let me know who you were until this morning.
01:11:03I don't understand, Sir.
01:11:08You're both working for the same cause.
01:11:11Miss Jane Gerson of the British Secret Service.
01:11:15Allow me to present Captain Woodhouse of the intelligence department.
01:11:20But Eric, why did you let me suffer so?
01:11:24But dear.
01:11:26Your life was in danger every minute.
01:11:28I saw his pistol behind the curtain.
01:11:30There was nothing else that I could do.
01:11:35Jane darling.
01:11:37I've so much to say to you.
01:11:54THE END
