00:00:30The End

00:01:00The End

00:01:29It's a slaughter

00:01:30Our men didn't have a chance

00:01:35They never had, do you hear me?

00:01:36Steady, dear boy, steady now

00:01:38But you don't understand

00:01:39We planned the surprise attack, didn't we?

00:01:41And yet we were the ones surprised

00:01:42Our men walked into a deliberate trap

00:01:45The Germans knew our objective and our zero hour exactly

00:01:47Well, I'd better call up headquarters

00:01:52Major Andrews speaking

00:02:01This is Captain Stewart, 28th Division

00:02:03Our attack has been repulsed along the entire sector, sir

00:02:08I have to report a complete failure

00:02:11Send in your casualty report

00:02:13Captain Stewart reports, sir, that the 28th was beaten back, too

00:02:21The Germans must have known of our plans

00:02:23Before our own junior offices

00:02:25Captain Lough

00:02:27Everything that's done here

00:02:29All our orders

00:02:31Our entire line of campaign

00:02:32They're known immediately to the enemy

00:02:34For the last year

00:02:35Every time one of our plans is miscarried

00:02:37It's been blamed on Strindler

00:02:39Well, he must be caught

00:02:41But, sir, we're not exactly certain what he looks like

00:02:44But we do expect some results very soon

00:02:47And until then

00:02:48We are supposed to let the Germans go on learning anything and everything they please

00:02:52If you'll permit me, sir

00:02:53What about Williams?

00:02:55He's the best spy we have

00:02:57But he's the keystone of our whole system in Germany

00:02:59We can't afford to bring him back here

00:03:01We must bring him back

00:03:02It's well known that Strindler is working in this vicinity

00:03:06Obviously, we shall need our shuddest operator

00:03:08To catch him

00:03:09Williams is the man for the job

00:03:11Notify Williams immediately

00:03:13Yes, sir

00:03:14Major Andrews

00:03:15Instruct Commander Phelps to have a pilot stand by

00:03:19To pick up Williams from behind the German lines

00:03:21Very good, sir

00:03:22Now, Bennett

00:03:27Williams will be waiting for you at the north edge of the woods

00:03:31Outside Bummerrell at 9 o'clock

00:03:33He'll be wearing a white smock

00:03:35So that you can identify him from the air

00:03:37Understand?

00:03:38Yes, sir

00:03:39Good luck

00:03:40Thank you, sir

00:03:41Cheerio, Phelps

00:03:42Good night, Major

00:03:42Back to headquarters

00:03:46Good luck to your trip

00:03:52Thank you, sir

00:03:52A jolly little assignment, isn't it?

00:03:56Not an ounce of trouble

00:03:57Are you sure you want to do it, Bennett?

00:03:59Of course, sir

00:04:00Democracy and all that, you know

00:04:01Very well, you push off before dawn tomorrow

00:04:04You follow the railway tracks up the Selwa Valley

00:04:07That'll put you above Bummerrell at 9 o'clock

00:04:10Right, you are, sir

00:04:11Good luck

00:04:11Thank you

00:04:12Good luck

00:04:13Good luck

00:05:00Can you see her?

00:05:02It's very helpful.

00:05:08This is from Strindler.

00:05:23Notify the air circus that we have work tomorrow at dawn.

00:05:26It's very helpful.

00:05:30It's very helpful.

00:07:12It's very helpful.

00:07:14Hey!

00:07:20Hi!

00:07:22Let's go.

00:07:52I'll make sure the letter to your mother is posted before I leave.

00:08:04Let me see now.

00:08:06Mrs. Arthur Bennett, 30 Cumberland Terrace, London.

00:08:10Please, don't go away, Helena.

00:08:13I've got to, Frank.

00:08:15And you've got to go to sleep.

00:08:16Come on, now, close your eyes.

00:08:17But won't you come back?

00:08:25No.

00:08:27Why, Helena?

00:08:30I can't explain.

00:08:32Keep your eyes closed.

00:08:35You know, Helena, I think I'm falling in love with you.

00:08:40I'm afraid you're talking yourself into something.

00:08:43Try and go to sleep, please.

00:09:35and because of the success of your mission

00:09:37at the English Base Hospital at Marnay,

00:09:40His Imperial Majesty has ordered me

00:09:42to confer upon you this decoration.

00:09:47This, my frulein, is a most distinguished honor.

00:09:52I am very grateful.

00:09:53You have studied these directions?

00:09:55Yes, Excellency.

00:09:56Repeat them.

00:09:57I will proceed to Kiel and report to the commander

00:09:59of submarine U-53.

00:10:01He will conduct me to the North Irish coast.

00:10:03From there, I will make my way to Liverpool

00:10:04to Henry Thompson, who will take care of the London End.

00:10:06Good.

00:10:07Herr Capitan, destroy the directions.

00:10:14Henry Thompson is highly esteemed by the British officials.

00:10:17He should have no difficulty nor arouse any suspicion

00:10:20in placing you in the Arthur Bennett home.

00:10:22Arthur Bennett?

00:10:23Yes. Anything wrong?

00:10:25No, certainly not, Excellency.

00:10:26It's just that you startled me with the name

00:10:28of the new cabinet minister.

00:10:29While in London, you will take your orders,

00:10:31directly or indirectly, whichever he may choose,

00:10:33from Franz Strindler.

00:10:35Strindler?

00:10:36All in question is this?

00:10:38Oh, no.

00:10:39It's just that I thought that he was in France.

00:10:41Strindler is in London.

00:10:42Has been for several months.

00:10:43The British would give an entire army

00:10:46court to capture him.

00:10:47And all the while, he's under so high noses,

00:10:49constantly communicating with us by wireless to Seybrook.

00:10:52I feel very proud, Herr Baron.

00:10:55I'm honored to be chosen to work with Strindler.

00:10:57May I ask, Excellency, what is my objective in this mission?

00:11:00The objective is to deal a death blow to the Allies.

00:11:04Aside from Strindler, that's all any of us know.

00:11:07There is a new password.

00:11:09Yes, Herr Baron?

00:11:10Immer forwärts.

00:11:11Immer forwärts.

00:11:12Always forward.

00:11:13The answer?

00:11:14Niemals zurück.

00:11:15Niemals zurück.

00:11:16Never backward.

00:11:17Victory must be ours.

00:11:19We have but one objective.

00:11:20To win the war.

00:11:21Even if we have to fight the entire world.

00:11:24No nation, no group of nations can stop our advance

00:11:27and the advance of German culture.

00:11:29We are destined to conquer the world.

00:11:32If our Kaiser is taken from us,

00:11:34a new leader will arise.

00:11:36I may not live to see it,

00:11:38but someday,

00:11:40we will be able to conquer the world.

00:11:42If our Kaiser is taken from us,

00:11:44a new leader will arise.

00:11:46Someday,

00:11:47someday,

00:11:48someday,

00:11:49Germany will own the world.

00:11:59Strindler should be pleased with your placing me in the Bennet home.

00:12:02You've arranged things very cleverly, Mr. Thompson.

00:12:04Oh, it wasn't a very difficult assignment.

00:12:06No one suspects me in the slightest.

00:12:08But,

00:12:09how did you convince the Bennets that I should be in their home?

00:12:12By telling them the very sad story of Frances Hawtry.

00:12:15About her poor old father.

00:12:17And her terrible hardships.

00:12:19And her amazing escape from those German brutes.

00:12:22By the time I'd finished,

00:12:24I had old Bennet on the verge of tears.

00:12:26Henry Thompson,

00:12:28aside from myself,

00:12:30you're the nicest spy I know.

00:12:33Now,

00:12:34in the Bennet home,

00:12:35in addition to Mr.

00:12:36and Mrs. Bennet,

00:12:37there's a brother, George,

00:12:38and a daughter, Dorothy.

00:12:39Wasn't...

00:12:40Wasn't there a son?

00:12:42Yes.

00:12:43Frank,

00:12:44I think his name is,

00:12:45but, uh,

00:12:46he's in France now,

00:12:47in the Air Force.

00:12:48Oh,

00:12:49we shall be there in a moment.

00:12:52Nervous?

00:12:53No.

00:12:54Not at all.

00:13:09Well, I do hope you'll be happy here.

00:13:11I'm sure I will.

00:13:12You've been so kind.

00:13:14Not at all.

00:13:15Just wait, will you?

00:13:27Oui, monsieur.

00:13:28Miss Hortrey and Mr. Thompson,

00:13:30to see Mr. Bennet.

00:13:31But, of course, monsieur, mademoiselle.

00:13:33Pleased to come in?

00:13:40This way, please.

00:13:45Permit me, monsieur.

00:13:49You are expect by Monsieur Bennet.

00:13:52Hello, Thompson.

00:13:53Thought I heard your voice.

00:13:54Mr. Bennet, George.

00:13:55May I present Miss Frances Hortrey?

00:13:56How do you do?

00:13:57How do you think?

00:13:58We've been expecting you.

00:14:00Oh, Valor,

00:14:01will you tell Mrs. Bennet

00:14:02that our guests have arrived?

00:14:03At once, monsieur.

00:14:04Shall we go into the library?

00:14:10Won't you sit down, Miss Hortrey?

00:14:12Mr. Thompson.

00:14:13Thanks.

00:14:15We're so glad you were able to come to us.

00:14:17We hope you'll be very happy here.

00:14:19I understand you've had quite a time,

00:14:21but in Germany.

00:14:22George.

00:14:23It's all right, really.

00:14:24I don't mind talking about it.

00:14:26I think this is wonderfully kind of you, Bennet.

00:14:28Not at all.

00:14:29As I told you,

00:14:30Miss Hortrey and her father were interned in Germany

00:14:32from the very beginning of the war,

00:14:34and they were treated like cattle.

00:14:36It wasn't so bad, really,

00:14:37until my father was accused of being an English spy.

00:14:40They didn't bother to say how or what he could have spied upon.

00:14:43They condemned him to death anyway.

00:14:46On July 14th at eight o'clock in the morning,

00:14:49I saw my father dragged from his cell and shot.

00:14:56Maud, dear, this is Miss Frances Hortrey.

00:14:59Miss Hortrey, my wife.

00:15:00How do you do?

00:15:01Welcome, my dear.

00:15:02Thank you so much.

00:15:03And our daughter Dorothy.

00:15:05I'm very happy to know you.

00:15:06You'll be a welcome addition to our family.

00:15:09I'll have your thing sent up to your room right away.

00:15:11Oh, they're still at the Savoy.

00:15:12You see, I couldn't convince Miss Hortrey

00:15:14that she'd be really welcome.

00:15:16But I'm sure she understands now, don't you?

00:15:18I do.

00:15:19Valda.

00:15:21Valda.

00:15:26Oui, oui, madame.

00:15:27Miss Hortrey's luggage is at the Savoy.

00:15:29See that it's brought here.

00:15:30At once, madame.

00:15:31They will help, my poor country.

00:15:54Eh, Monsieur Bennett?

00:15:55Yes, Valda.

00:15:56If only I could march with them, fight with them.

00:16:00Pardon, Monsieur.

00:16:12Valda's case is very tragic.

00:16:15That bayonet wounded his cheek.

00:16:17He, a civilian, got that and two bullets in his leg from the Germans.

00:16:21His wife and baby were murdered before his eyes.

00:16:25Colonel Yates heard about Valda's case,

00:16:27asked me to help him by giving him this job.

00:16:29I've never regretted it.

00:16:36Well, they're certainly a fine bunch of fellows.

00:16:38Sad to watch them.

00:16:42More food for German guns.

00:16:44God grant they will be the last.

00:16:46Mr. Bennet.

00:16:47My dear, you're quite exhausted.

00:16:49Let me take you to your room.

00:16:53Mr. Bennet, I'm so grateful.

00:16:57Mr. Thompson, I shan't see you again?

00:16:59No.

00:17:00But I shall write you and let you know how things are going in America.

00:17:03Well, good luck.

00:17:06Goodbye.

00:17:07Goodbye.

00:17:08I'll see you at dinner.

00:17:09Well, I must run along.

00:17:10My trunk's aren't packed yet and the boat train leaves at seven.

00:17:12Well, have a good trip, Thompson.

00:17:13Thank you, I shall.

00:17:14And good luck to you both.

00:17:15Thanks a lot.

00:17:16Look after Miss Hortree.

00:17:19Fine man, Thompson.

00:17:29Pardon, mademoiselle.

00:17:31Thy take so long.

00:17:32Madame Lord.

00:17:36If mademoiselle would permit, I am very happy she stay here.

00:17:40Thanks.

00:17:43Something else?

00:17:44Some sandwich, perhaps?

00:17:46No, thank you.

00:17:47Very good.

00:17:55Gvaldauer.

00:17:56Oui, mademoiselle.

00:17:58Mr. Bennet was telling me that you too are a victim of German cruelty.

00:18:02Ah, mademoiselle.

00:18:03When I think what they have done to my country, my wife, my baby, I...

00:18:07You certainly have every right to feel bitter, but don't you think that there might be people in Germany who feel equally bitter toward the allies?

00:18:15Toward us.

00:18:16We do not kill women and babies.

00:18:19No, but the Germans might feel that anything warrants victory.

00:18:29If mademoiselle should need anything, you have only to push the bell at this table.

00:18:34I will come at once.

00:18:38Oh, and if mademoiselle will remember always to push the bell with a forward motion, it will be more easy.

00:18:45It is somewhat stoke.

00:18:47Pleased to remember, always forward.

00:18:54Always forward, did you say?

00:18:55Oui, mademoiselle.

00:18:59Odd sort of a bell, isn't it?

00:19:00No.

00:19:03Mademoiselle, perhaps as I had experience with the bell, it works some other way?

00:19:07No, never any other way.

00:19:09Never backward.

00:19:19L.A. Bonne l'aubier.

00:19:21And you?

00:19:22Carl Schiller, servant of the Baudelaire.

00:19:24Baron Kugler told me of you.

00:19:25It would be well if Baron Kugler told you not to show sympathy for Germany as you did with me just now.

00:19:32You're right.

00:19:33Even when we talk like this, always I remain Valda, the servant.

00:19:37The only way to be someone you are not is to be that person always, even in the presence of Fred.

00:19:43But tell me, Schiller.

00:19:44Valda.

00:19:46Valda.

00:19:48When may I meet Franz Strindler?

00:19:50That I cannot answer.

00:19:52But where is he?

00:19:54I do not know.

00:19:55He trusts no one.

00:19:57My orders are received and my reports sent by another, who will transmit them to Strindler.

00:20:04I'm so anxious to meet him.

00:20:06His work, his methods, a genius.

00:20:08No.

00:20:09A symbol of blind duty.

00:20:13Or a complete patriot.

00:20:14Perhaps.

00:20:17He has no soul, no conscience, nothing.

00:20:21He'd kill you or me for duty.

00:20:29I don't know myself.

00:20:30I don't know myself.

00:20:43Come in, Colonel Gates.

00:20:44I need a Valda.

00:20:49Merci, Monsieur.

00:20:51Merci.

00:20:53You are expected by Monsieur Bellet in the library.

00:20:57Hello, Yates.

00:21:00You are right on time.

00:21:02These have all been checked.

00:21:04Better put them in the safe.

00:21:07Crichton, will you pick them up in the morning?

00:21:09Take them to the war office vaults?

00:21:11Certainly, Colonel Yates.

00:21:26All these materials get across the channels safely?

00:21:36Without a hitch.

00:21:38None stored close to any other munitions depot, are they?

00:21:41No, sir.

00:21:43There's too great a concentration to take any chances.

00:21:45Of course.

00:21:49Valda.

00:21:50You are.

00:21:52Oui, mademoiselle.

00:21:58The heel on my shoe seems to be loose.

00:22:01I want to fix it.

00:22:02All right, of course, mademoiselle.

00:22:10You didn't tell me what my duties are.

00:22:11You will visit the office of Benef at least twice a week.

00:22:17There you will find his secretary, Miss Rieston.

00:22:21She and Kurtz are Handelkos-Patron information.

00:22:26I don't know Kurtz.

00:22:28He will.

00:22:30You are familiar with Wolfgang's telegraphic code?

00:22:33Perfectly.

00:22:37Deutschland über alles.

00:22:38Good.

00:22:40As a rule, there are people in Benef's office.

00:22:43So, in case it is not empty,

00:22:45Miss Rieston will click off the information

00:22:48of the keys of her typewriter.

00:22:50I understand.

00:22:52I may have work for you tonight.

00:22:54Colonel Yates, here at the British Intelligence Department,

00:22:58is in the library, Monsieur Benef.

00:23:01I think that will hold now.

00:23:03And dinner will be served at eight presons.

00:23:08I'll give her little girls some.

00:23:12Oh, thank you, sir.

00:23:14That's for you, Sonny. That's all I'm going to give.

00:23:16Oh, please, sir. Oh, thank you, sir.

00:23:17I've been standing here giving out milk.

00:23:18Oh, please, sir. Oh, thank you, sir.

00:23:19All right, now, I'll be around again tomorrow,

00:23:20and that's all I'm going to give today.

00:23:21Oh, good afternoon, sir.

00:23:22Bonjour, Monsieur.

00:23:23We have one quart extra today.

00:23:24All right, sir.

00:23:26Oh, I'll give her little girls some.

00:23:27Oh, thank you, sir.

00:23:28Oh, thank you, sir.

00:23:29Oh, thank you, sir.

00:23:30That's for you, Sonny. That's all I'm going to give.

00:23:31Oh, please, sir. Oh, please, sir. Oh, thank you, sir.

00:23:32All right, now, I'll be around again tomorrow,

00:23:33and that's all I'm going to give today.

00:23:34Oh, thank you, sir.

00:23:35Oh, thank you, sir.

00:23:36Oh, good afternoon, sir.

00:23:37Bonjour, Monsieur.

00:23:38We have one quart extra today.

00:23:39All right, sir.

00:23:40Oh, will I and Helene arrive?

00:23:41Oui.

00:23:42This afternoon.

00:23:43Ah, that is good.

00:23:44Do you have any further information about the Murs offensive?

00:23:45So far, nothing.

00:23:46Ah.

00:23:47We must know the exact location of the Murs munition dumps.

00:23:50I think I have that for you tonight.

00:23:52Good.

00:24:20Good.

00:24:22Hmm.

00:24:45Hmm.

00:24:50What are you doing here?

00:25:04I found out there were some important papers in that safe.

00:25:07So?

00:25:08I thought you should have them.

00:25:10I wanted to get them for you.

00:25:11Mademoiselle, will pardon when I need help I ask for it?

00:25:15Will you go back upstairs?

00:25:17I'm sorry, I'm just too...

00:25:18Go at once.

00:25:20Good evening, Mr. Bennett.

00:25:48Oh, hello.

00:25:49My dear, what are you doing down here at this time of night?

00:25:57I came after a book.

00:25:59I couldn't sleep.

00:26:01I just can't realize that I'm free.

00:26:04I understand.

00:26:05But you'd better run along upstairs, or you'll catch cold.

00:26:08I'm so tired, I just can't rest.

00:26:11You must try.

00:26:12You'll be yourself again in a few days.

00:26:15Good night, my dear.

00:26:16Good night.

00:26:17Good night.

00:26:25Dear, what is it?

00:26:28I'm so sorry.

00:26:31I guess I am exhausted.

00:26:33I'll be all right now.

00:26:34You poor child.

00:26:36Come along, I'll take you upstairs.

00:26:37I'll be all right now.

00:26:38I'll be all right now.

00:26:39That isn't necessary.

00:26:40Really, it isn't.

00:26:40Now, now, now, no more arguments.

00:26:45Very kind of you.

00:26:46I'll be all right.

00:26:46Come along, I'll be all right now.

00:27:18Evening, Governor.

00:27:21Good evening, Monsieur.

00:27:23Nice night, ain't it?

00:27:24Oui, Monsieur. It is a very nice night.

00:27:27Good night, Governor.

00:27:28Good night, Monsieur.

00:27:44What's the noise?

00:27:45Yes, plenty. We have a copy of the latest English plans.

00:27:49Come on, start the generators.

00:27:50Jawohl.

00:27:51What's the noise?

00:27:56A message from Stendler is coming in right now, Herr General.

00:28:00What's the noise?

00:28:13A message from Stendler is coming in right now, Herr General.

00:28:16Stendler's message is the courage, sir.

00:28:20Well?

00:28:21Well?

00:28:22Preparatory to a wide advance,

00:28:24the Allies have concentrated large stores of munitions at Pau Noir.

00:28:28That word to all air drops.

00:28:31That munition stock must be destroyed.

00:28:33Where are you, General?

00:28:34That must be destroyed.

00:28:35Where are you, General?

00:28:36Where are you, General?

00:28:38Oh, no.

00:28:39I have added one list.

00:28:42Doctrine, Sal pequeño.

00:28:44Yes, sir.

00:28:45Not at all.

00:28:48Let's continue.

00:28:52Oh, sir.

00:28:54bien.

00:28:54Let's go.

00:29:24Let's go.

00:29:54Why don't you wait a moment?

00:29:55I'll see if we can squeeze you in.

00:29:57You'll find the latest magazines on the table.

00:30:04Beg your pardon, Mr. Bennett.

00:30:06Your afternoon paper, sir.

00:30:08And Miss Hortrey is outside.

00:30:10Oh, ask her to wait, will you please?

00:30:11Yes, sir.

00:30:14Hello.

00:30:15George, listen to this.

00:30:16Well, any belief that even one person survived among the 740 aboard the ill-pated steamship Victoria was dispelled today.

00:30:25Authorities hold that the ship must have been torpedoed without warning by a German submarine.

00:30:29This would account...

00:30:31What a fearful thing.

00:30:35Poor Thompson.

00:30:35He told me before he boarded the Victoria that he didn't feel right about the trip.

00:30:42England's lost a good man in Thompson.

00:30:45So they say.

00:30:47George, did Thompson ever strike you as being a very rich man?

00:30:51No, I should say comfortable, but certainly not rich.

00:30:54So he appeared to me.

00:30:55His books show him to have been immensely wealthy.

00:30:59Oh?

00:31:00Wealth mostly acquired within the past 12 months.

00:31:03You don't say.

00:31:06That's strange.

00:31:12Mr. Arthur Bennett's rooms.

00:31:14Miss Riston here.

00:31:16Oh, yes.

00:31:18Yes, Mr. Bennett's looking into that matter.

00:31:21About an hour ago, you say?

00:31:24Yes.

00:31:24They caught our man Kurtz at the Orient docks.

00:31:27Have the message relayed immediately.

00:31:29Very good, sir.

00:31:30I'll see that he gets word.

00:31:32Goodbye, sir.

00:31:54Hello, my dear.

00:32:07Hello.

00:32:07Hello, my dear.

00:32:23Hello.

00:32:24How are you, Miss Hortray?

00:32:25Very well, thank you, Major.

00:32:27Goodbye. I'll see you later.

00:32:29I hope so.

00:32:32I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting.

00:32:34That's all right, Mr. Bennett.

00:32:35I've had an interesting time reading.

00:32:36Excuse me.

00:32:39Can you stay a little while longer?

00:32:41Mr. Crichton's been here for some time.

00:32:42Oh, it isn't important.

00:32:43I was shopping near here,

00:32:44and I thought I'd stop in and say hello.

00:32:46I'll see you at home.

00:32:47All right, my dear.

00:32:50Goodbye.

00:32:53Will you come inside?

00:32:58I beg your pardon.

00:32:59I'll gather them together.

00:33:00Oh, let me help.

00:33:01There we are.

00:33:07All ship-shaped.

00:33:09Will you excuse me?

00:33:10Certainly, Mr. Crichton.

00:33:15Well, you'll excuse my office being in this condition, Crichton,

00:33:18but I'm closing out my private law practice, you know.

00:33:22Trying to get out of here by the end of the week, certainly.

00:33:24Here's something I just picked up.

00:33:32A lot of X's.

00:33:34What does it mean?

00:33:35It's a code message.

00:33:37That's the reason I stumbled over the wastebasket.

00:33:40Miss Crichton, you mean?

00:33:42She's a German agent.

00:33:44But that's not possible.

00:33:46I can't believe such a thing.

00:33:48Just now,

00:33:49she was transmitting a message in the Wolfgern code

00:33:51through her typewriter keys.

00:33:53The German intelligence are the only ones using that system.

00:34:04Who else was in the office?

00:34:06Only Miss Hortrey.

00:34:08Do you remember when I dropped in to see you earlier in the week?

00:34:10Yes.

00:34:11Miss Hortrey was also in the office at that time.

00:34:14I thought I caught the end of a code message then.

00:34:17Now I'm sure.

00:34:24Resident too, eh?

00:34:28Tell me, Crichton.

00:34:29I realize we can't arrest either of them

00:34:31while there's any chance of them leading us to Strindler.

00:34:34But is all this leading us any closer to Strindler?

00:34:36Have you any news of him at all?

00:34:38We've positive proof that he's in London.

00:34:40How long he's been here, of course, we don't know.

00:34:43Excuse me.

00:34:46Yes.

00:34:47Put him on, please.

00:34:49How are you, Yates?

00:34:51Yes.

00:34:52Where?

00:34:54Yes, of course, immediately.

00:34:56Goodbye.

00:34:57Yates, the Bow Street police station wants us to come over there.

00:35:00Right-oh.

00:35:00I think we've hit on something.

00:35:18Brixton here picked up a man on the Orient Pier.

00:35:20A chap named Kurtz.

00:35:22How do you find out?

00:35:23Through Miss Risden, Mr. Bennet's secretary.

00:35:25She conveyed the information to Miss Hortree

00:35:27through a code message on the typewriter keys.

00:35:30She's in it too?

00:35:31That's an angle we overlook, sir.

00:35:34What did you learn from this man Kurtz?

00:35:36Complete confirmation.

00:35:37You were right about Henry Thompson.

00:35:40He was the paymaster of the spy ring,

00:35:42got all his money from Germany.

00:35:43And Miss Hortree?

00:35:45Well, we'll find out tonight

00:35:46whether she's actually leading us anywhere.

00:35:50Crichton at 9.30,

00:35:51you and two of your men

00:35:52will be at the front door of Mr. Bennet's home.

00:35:54Very well, sir.

00:35:55At a given signal, you'll be admitted.

00:35:57I'll be nearby to tell you what to do.

00:35:59Very likely be in an arrest to make.

00:36:01Right you are, Chief.

00:36:02You understand your end of things, Brixen?

00:36:04Yes, sir.

00:36:05Then you intend placing Miss Hortree under arrest tonight?

00:36:07That depends entirely upon what happens.

00:36:10I'm afraid I don't quite understand.

00:36:12First you're going to arrest her, then you're not.

00:36:14I do.

00:36:16If Thompson hadn't gone down with the Victoria,

00:36:18we might have been able to clear things up.

00:36:20But as it is...

00:36:22Thompson's not dead.

00:36:24He didn't even sail on the Victoria.

00:36:26What?

00:36:27What was that?

00:36:28Brixen here was covering the Victoria departure.

00:36:30Purely as a matter of routine.

00:36:33He saw Thompson board the vessel right enough.

00:36:36But he also saw him leaving the pier

00:36:38after the vessel had sailed.

00:36:41That's when we began our investigation of him.

00:36:45Thompson is still in England.

00:36:46I'm certain of that.

00:36:49Yes?

00:36:55You sent for me, monsieur?

00:36:57I sent for you.

00:36:59Oui, monsieur.

00:36:59At your service.

00:37:02See you at the ward office at 8.30.

00:37:03Right now, sir.

00:37:04You two, Crichton.

00:37:05That's all.

00:37:05Yes, sir.

00:37:05Bye, Mr. Merritt.

00:37:06Bye.

00:37:14How did that lead of mine work out?

00:37:16Splendid.

00:37:17We picked up that man, Kurtz, this afternoon.

00:37:20He's in back now.

00:37:22Any information?

00:37:23None.

00:37:24He swears he never heard of Miss Hortree.

00:37:25Nansenses, lying.

00:37:27I'm certain they've been in touch with each other.

00:37:29Let me talk.

00:37:30That won't be necessary.

00:37:32I'm satisfied he's a German agent.

00:37:34Of course he is.

00:37:35Something about every one of those slimy dogs that gives them away.

00:37:39It's unmistakable.

00:37:40How important is Kurtz to us?

00:37:43Only insofar as he helps us towards Trendler.

00:37:46The same for Miss Hortree.

00:37:47That's right.

00:37:48Franz Trendler is the man we've got to catch.

00:37:51Get Trendler, and I'll guarantee to round up every German agent this side of the Western front within a week.

00:37:56It's taken a long time, but I think we're finally closing in.

00:38:01We'll get Trendler soon.

00:38:03We've got to catch him, Colonel Yates.

00:38:06In the meantime, there are matters of equal importance to arrange.

00:38:10Tomorrow night, the cabinet holds a meeting secretly in Mr. Bennett's home.

00:38:15My men will guard the outside.

00:38:17I expect you to keep a close watch inside.

00:38:20Understand?

00:38:21Perfectly.

00:38:22That's all, then.

00:38:22Thank you, sir.

00:38:25Oh.

00:38:25You hold the meeting in the library, monsieur?

00:38:29Yes.

00:38:30Very good, monsieur.

00:38:44Set your watch.

00:38:47The signal will be given at 9.30 exactly.

00:38:50Come with me.

00:38:51Now, you've got everything straight.

00:39:00Yes, Colonel.

00:39:01Do exactly as I said.

00:39:02When I get to the door and give the signal, start.

00:39:04Yes, sir.

00:39:05Come here, you.

00:39:12All right, you two with me.

00:39:13Come on, over up here.

00:39:37Come on, over up here.

00:39:37Please, please, please, help me.

00:39:48Who are you?

00:39:48What do you want?

00:39:49Oh, for the love of heaven, hide me.

00:39:50They're after me.

00:39:50They're going to kill me.

00:39:51Who?

00:39:51Who's going to kill you?

00:39:52Who are you?

00:39:53Of course.

00:39:54Oh, of course.

00:39:54You know her.

00:39:55You heard of me.

00:39:56Strindler must have told you.

00:39:57There isn't any time to lose.

00:39:58Please, hide me.

00:39:59Strindler.

00:40:01Who's Strindler?

00:40:05Francis, open the door.

00:40:07Don't give me up.

00:40:09Always forward.

00:40:10Never backward.

00:40:11Francis.

00:40:14Yes?

00:40:15Just a moment.

00:40:18In here, quickly.

00:40:25Open the door, quickly, please.

00:40:27All right, all right, I'm coming.

00:40:29All right.

00:40:34Lizard, what's wrong?

00:40:35Did you see anybody?

00:40:36Did he come in here?

00:40:37Why, who?

00:40:38A man named Kurtz, a German spy.

00:40:41He escaped while being transferred to the tower.

00:40:44I heard a lot of shooting and whistles.

00:40:47Is that all?

00:40:49Yes, I believe so.

00:40:51It was an awful racket.

00:40:53Sorry to have disturbed you, Miss Hortrey.

00:40:56That's all.

00:40:57Right you are, sir.

00:40:59Colonel Yates.

00:41:01Yes?

00:41:02You are of the British Intelligence Department.

00:41:05Yes?

00:41:05I should think that you would at least insist on looking in the closet.

00:41:10I beg your pardon?

00:41:12When I catch someone, he stays caught.

00:41:15In there.

00:41:17You only need the key.

00:41:20Why didn't you tell us this in the first place?

00:41:21Well, he said that he was accused of being a traitor and that he could explain everything if I had only concealed him.

00:41:27It must have seemed so genuine.

00:41:29Come out.

00:41:30Come on.

00:41:30You could have saved me.

00:41:36They were going.

00:41:37They would have never found me.

00:41:38Take him along, Crichton.

00:41:40Come along.

00:41:43You know, Miss Hortrey, it's always best to report such cases at once.

00:41:48I should have known that.

00:41:49I'm sorry.

00:41:50Thank you for your cooperation.

00:41:52Good night.

00:41:53I'm terribly sorry.

00:41:56Coming, Benny.

00:41:57Good night, Frances.

00:41:58Good night.

00:42:11Why you give him all?

00:42:13That wasn't Kurtz.

00:42:14But how did you know?

00:42:16You have never seen him.

00:42:17Don't you see?

00:42:18It's obviously a trick.

00:42:19It means only one thing.

00:42:21They suspect me.

00:42:21They have no evidence or they would not set this track.

00:42:24They can arrest me on suspicion.

00:42:26I've got to get away from here.

00:42:28It is imperative, Mademoiselle, that you stay here till tomorrow night.

00:42:32But why?

00:42:34The British cabinet will come here for a secret meeting.

00:42:37Strangler will see they never leave.

00:42:40How?

00:42:40That we will learn from Strangler.

00:42:42He will be here himself.

00:42:46But Chiller...

00:42:47That will be all, Mademoiselle.

00:42:51I still don't think we've failed completely.

00:43:00The cabinet meeting?

00:43:01Yes.

00:43:02We'll make certain then.

00:43:06And I rather expect an air raid at the same time.

00:43:08I've got a secret to it.

00:43:09We'll be fine.

00:43:40Waldo!

00:43:44Why you follow me?

00:43:48Take me with you to Strindler.

00:43:50I have told you what to do. Now go back to the house at once.

00:43:53Yes, but you haven't...

00:43:54You have heard my order.

00:44:04Elaine.

00:44:06I've been hiding for three days, but I just had to come here and warn you.

00:44:11Of what?

00:44:12Since you arrived in London, every word you've spoken,

00:44:15everything you've done, they've all been reported to Scotland Yard.

00:44:18What? By whom?

00:44:19I'll die.

00:44:20Well, that can't be.

00:44:21But I tell you, he was with Yates and Bennett this afternoon.

00:44:23He's working with the English.

00:44:24It's impossible.

00:44:25It's not impossible.

00:44:26I know it to be true.

00:44:27But only tonight he told me of Strindler's final plan.

00:44:28I don't care what he told you.

00:44:29We're both in terrible danger, Helene.

00:44:30I'm getting out.

00:44:31I want you to come with me.

00:44:32No, I can't go.

00:44:33There's nothing to be gained here.

00:44:34You have no ties, neither have I.

00:44:35Well, let's go together to somewhere peaceful, where there's no war.

00:44:37I appreciate what you say.

00:44:38And I know the risk you took, too.

00:44:39Tell me this.

00:44:40But I can't leave now.

00:44:41Elaine, think a moment.

00:44:42People work so they may live.

00:44:43What good is work such as ours, when it leaves only to death?

00:44:45It's not a matter of time.

00:44:46We're both in terrible danger, Helene.

00:44:48We're both in terrible danger, Helene.

00:44:49I'm getting out.

00:44:50I want you to come with me.

00:44:51No, I can't go.

00:44:52There's nothing to be gained here.

00:44:53You have no ties, neither have I.

00:44:54Well, let's go together to somewhere peaceful, where there's no war.

00:44:57I appreciate what you say.

00:44:59And I know the risk you took, too.

00:45:00Tell me this.

00:45:01But I can't leave now.

00:45:02Helene, think a moment.

00:45:04People work so they may live.

00:45:06It's for Germany.

00:45:07It's for Germany.

00:45:08It's for Germany.

00:45:09I'm sick of that phrase.

00:45:11How many millions of people have been killed in the past for those words?

00:45:15How many millions more must die, just because one man sets himself above the Almighty,

00:45:19so that he may boast of my country, my people?

00:45:23Please.

00:45:24It's happened before.

00:45:25It's happening now.

00:45:26It will happen again.

00:45:28Why, Helene, let's get out before it's too late.

00:45:31You can't mean these things.

00:45:32You can't.

00:45:33I'm sailing for South America tonight.

00:45:35Well, I want you to come with me, Helene.

00:45:40Good luck.

00:45:42This is final.

00:45:44I'll feed you soon.

00:45:48Throw it out.

00:45:50Hello there, mate.

00:45:51Want a ride?

00:45:52Merci, monsieur.

00:45:53My leg is bad tonight.

00:45:55Come on, Henry.

00:45:56Well, what's happening?

00:45:57A great deal is happening, monsieur.

00:45:59A great deal is happening, monsieur.

00:46:00Who is it?

00:46:01It's me, Thompson.

00:46:02Your old friend, the milkman.

00:46:03Who is it?

00:46:04It's me, Thompson.

00:46:05Your old friend, the milkman.

00:46:06Who is it?

00:46:07It's me, Thompson.

00:46:08Your old friend, the milkman.

00:46:09Who is it?

00:46:10It's me, Thompson.

00:46:11Your old friend, the milkman.

00:46:12Who is it?

00:46:13It's me, Thompson.

00:46:14Your old friend, the milkman.

00:46:17Who is it?

00:46:18It's me, Thompson.

00:46:19Your old friend, the milkman.

00:46:21Who is it?

00:46:22It's me, Thompson.

00:46:23Your old friend, the milkman.

00:46:24Who is it?

00:46:25It's me, Thompson.

00:46:26Your old friend, the milkman.

00:46:41Well, packing.

00:46:43Going someplace?

00:46:46Why, yes.

00:46:47You told me to.

00:46:48That's right.

00:46:49But that was three days ago, wasn't it?

00:46:52Yes, but I...

00:46:53I was delayed.

00:46:55But I'm going now.

00:46:57Oh, you don't say.

00:46:59Where to?

00:47:00Why, to Germany, of course.

00:47:02Oh, of course.

00:47:04But I think I'd better see that you go there this time.

00:47:08Maybe it'd be a good idea if we left together, eh?

00:47:13Yes.

00:47:14I'm glad you agree.

00:47:17Pick up your bag, Thompson, old friend.

00:47:29I'll tell you.

00:47:47Lucky Steve you are, Frank, able to get home.

00:47:50Yeah, that's me.

00:47:51Rabbit with Bennett.

00:47:52So long, you creepy lizards.

00:47:53See you tonight.

00:47:54Take care of yourself.

00:47:55Get along, driver.

00:47:56Hello.

00:47:57Drive.

00:48:02Oui, monsieur.

00:48:03Oh, cut the French, can't you?

00:48:05There's a good fellow.

00:48:06Have you heard that kind of talk as much as I have in the last two years?

00:48:09Oh, pardon, monsieur.

00:48:10That's all right.

00:48:11Well, who would you be?

00:48:13I am Valda.

00:48:14And may I ask, who is monsieur?

00:48:16Oh, that.

00:48:17Oh, I live here.

00:48:18What a little living rest to do these days.

00:48:20Uh, Bennett's the name, friend.

00:48:21Frank Bennett.

00:48:22Oh, monsieur Milpato.

00:48:23I'm so sorry.

00:48:24Permit me.

00:48:26Where is everybody?

00:48:27Upstairs, monsieur.

00:48:28Oh, thanks.

00:48:29Yes.

00:48:32Mother.

00:48:34Frank.

00:48:35Oh, Frank.

00:48:36My boy.

00:48:37My boy.

00:48:39Let me look at you.

00:48:40How are you?

00:48:41Fine, mother.

00:48:42If you overlook a couple of ribs I left in France.

00:48:44Oh, dad.

00:48:45Dad, I'm glad to see you.

00:48:46Frank.

00:48:47We're happy to have you home again.

00:48:49How are you?

00:48:50Never better.

00:48:51Good.

00:48:52But what are you doing in England?

00:48:53Well, our whole squadron was ordered over here this morning on the double.

00:48:56More than a hundred planes were called back.

00:48:58Most of us flew in together from our stand.

00:49:00That's rather strange.

00:49:02None of us knows the reason.

00:49:04Oh, by the way, I've got to call the war office immediately.

00:49:06You'll let us know what they say.

00:49:07I will, mother.

00:49:12Uh, white hole 940, please.

00:49:23Uh, will you put me through to Major Andrews, please?

00:49:28Hello, Major Andrews.

00:49:30This is Bennett speaking.

00:49:32Yes, sir.

00:49:34All right, sir.

00:49:35I'll stand by.

00:49:36Yes.

00:49:37Thank you, sir.

00:49:39I say, you must be Miss Hortree.

00:49:40The girl mother wrote me about.

00:49:41Yes, I am.

00:49:42I'm Frank Bennett.

00:49:43I'm awfully glad to know you.

00:49:45I've seen you before.

00:49:46No, I don't think so.

00:49:47I think I have.

00:49:48Wait a minute.

00:49:49Weren't you at the field hospital in Mornay?

00:49:50I'm afraid you're mistaken.

00:49:52Mother told me you've escaped from a German internment camp, but...

00:49:53That's correct.

00:49:54Look here.

00:49:55Do you mind very much telling me the truth?

00:49:56You already know my history.

00:49:57No.

00:49:58You're no more Francis Hortree than I am.

00:49:59Who are you?

00:50:00Well, if you seem to know everything else, why don't you tell me the truth?

00:50:01I'm awfully glad to know you.

00:50:02I'm awfully glad to know you.

00:50:04I've seen you before.

00:50:05No, I don't think so.

00:50:06I think I have.

00:50:07Wait a minute.

00:50:08Weren't you at the field hospital in Mornay?

00:50:09I don't think so.

00:50:10I don't think so.

00:50:11I don't think so.

00:50:12I don't think so.

00:50:13I don't think so.

00:50:14I don't think so.

00:50:15I don't think so.

00:50:16I don't think so.

00:50:17I don't think so.

00:50:18That's correct.

00:50:19Look here.

00:50:20Do you mind very much telling me the truth?

00:50:21You already know my history.

00:50:22No.

00:50:23You're no more Francis Hortree than I am.

00:50:24Who are you?

00:50:25Well, if you seem to know everything else, why don't you tell me?

00:50:26Your name is Helen.

00:50:27That I do know.

00:50:28You were the girl who nursed me back to the living after I cracked up.

00:50:30That's wrong.

00:50:31No, it's not.

00:50:32I tried to trace you.

00:50:33I heard you've been captured in the German advance.

00:50:35You're making a complete liar out of me, aren't you?

00:50:37Call it that if you like, but I can't understand after what you did at Mornay.

00:50:42Don't you remember the last time I saw you?

00:50:45When I was able to speak for the first time?

00:50:47I tell you, you're mistaken.

00:50:49No.

00:50:52Really, I wish you'd stop.

00:50:54You are Helen.

00:50:59Yes.

00:51:00I...

00:51:01I did know you at Mornay.

00:51:03I knew it.

00:51:04Soldiers often fall in love with their nurses.

00:51:07It's contagious, I guess.

00:51:08But they get over it as soon as they leave the hospital.

00:51:11Not this soldier and this nurse.

00:51:13You're being very silly.

00:51:15Am I?

00:51:16When you thought I was asleep, you kissed me.

00:51:19Do you remember?

00:51:20Then...

00:51:21Then you weren't asleep?

00:51:23I tried to call you back, but I couldn't raise my voice above a whisper.

00:51:26That was the night you disappeared.

00:51:28Helen, what are you doing here?

00:51:33I...

00:51:34I'm a British Secret Service agent.

00:51:36Even your father doesn't know.

00:51:37But why?

00:51:38I can't say anything more now.

00:51:39Believe me, I would...

00:51:40Pardon not, mademoiselle, but madame Dorothy is asked for you upstairs.

00:51:47Pardon not, mademoiselle, but madame Dorothy is asked for you upstairs.

00:51:59There it be, monsieur.

00:52:00And you are here for the meeting?

00:52:01Oh, yes.

00:52:02Lord Sudbury.

00:52:03This way, your lord, sir.

00:52:04Oh, hello, Sudbury.

00:52:05Hello.

00:52:06Sit down.

00:52:07Oh, hello, Sudbury.

00:52:08Hello.

00:52:09Sit down.

00:52:10Well, that's the last of them.

00:52:11What is it?

00:52:12Oh, yes.

00:52:13You are here for the meeting?

00:52:14Oh, yes.

00:52:15Lord Sudbury.

00:52:16This way, your lord, sir.

00:52:17Oh, hello, Sudbury.

00:52:18Hello.

00:52:19Sit down.

00:52:20Well, that's the last of them.

00:52:21All the meetings there are here, monsieur.

00:52:22Yes.

00:52:23All the meetings there are, monsieur.

00:52:24Yes?

00:52:25Keeping track of the haughtry girl, sir?

00:52:26Yes.

00:52:27Sure it wouldn't be better to arrest her, please?

00:52:28No, please.

00:52:29No, please.

00:52:30Oh, no.

00:52:31And you are here for the meeting?

00:52:32Oh, yes.

00:52:33Lord Sudbury.

00:52:34This way, your lord, sir.

00:52:36Oh, hello, Sudbury.

00:52:37Oh, hello, Sudbury.

00:52:38Hello.

00:52:39Sit down.

00:52:40Well, that's the last of them.

00:52:41All the meetings there are here, monsieur.

00:52:42Yes.

00:52:44Keeping track of any portrait girl, right?

00:52:46Oui, monsieur.

00:52:47You sure it would be better to arrest her?

00:52:49No, please. Give me two more hours.

00:52:52Then I know all I need to know.

00:52:57Good evening, Miss Hardrow.

00:52:58Good evening, fellow fellow.

00:53:00Shall we go inside? If you'll excuse us, Francis.

00:53:02Frank's home. He wanted very much to see you,

00:53:04but he was called back to the war office about an hour ago.

00:53:06I could understand that.

00:53:16Have you anything to tell me?

00:53:18No. Nothing new has developed.

00:53:21You are sure of that?

00:53:23Yes.

00:53:28Air Raider, that means in five minutes,

00:53:31all electric power will be shut off.

00:53:35When will Strindler be here?

00:53:36Soon, mademoiselle. Very soon.

00:53:39Then I'm to meet him?

00:53:41That was not the plan.

00:53:44I think maybe you had better.

00:53:47Come with me.

00:53:57Oh, Valdar, if you only could. If you'd only arrange it.

00:53:59I will, mademoiselle.

00:54:02Turn round, please.

00:54:04And go down into the cellar.

00:54:05And I'd advise you to make no sound.

00:54:10If you please.

00:54:17And now, my dear Fräulein von Lorbeer, who are you?

00:54:30My congratulations.

00:54:33I might have known you were a British agent all the time.

00:54:36I asked you a question. Who are you?

00:54:38Helaine von Lorbeer, the servant of the fatherland.

00:54:42I see.

00:54:47Where did you meet the Bennet boy?

00:54:50I have nothing to say.

00:54:51I heard you in the library when you told him you were a member of the English secret service.

00:54:55What would you have me do?

00:54:59Tell him I'm a German spy, Mr. Valdar?

00:55:03Excellent.

00:55:05But I'm afraid it won't quite do.

00:55:08No, I suppose it won't.

00:55:10You've caught me all right.

00:55:12But do you know what it means?

00:55:14Nothing.

00:55:16You may trap every German agent in England, one by one.

00:55:20But they'll replace us just as rapidly.

00:55:23Franz Strändler will see to that.

00:55:25And you'll never take him.

00:55:27Gott strafe England.

00:55:32Very, very good.

00:55:34Have you anything else to say?

00:55:38In case you're still in doubt.

00:55:45That's why I lay it.

00:55:47My deepest regrets.

00:55:50When Strändler is wrong, he admits it.

00:55:54You are Franz Strändler?

00:55:56Exactly.

00:55:58They have sighted our saplon.

00:56:15What are you going to do?

00:56:21In approximately three minutes, this house and the entire British cabinet will be destroyed.

00:56:28And the plans for the spring offensive will be on their way across the channel.

00:56:34Colonel Yates, Valdar's our man, sir. He just told Miss Hortry that he's Strändler.

00:56:38Up the stairs.

00:56:40We have barely time to get away.

00:56:45Up the coal chute.

00:56:48There he is.

00:56:49The bomb on the table, quick.

00:56:50Where did he go?

00:56:51Up the coal chute.

00:56:59There he is.

00:57:01The bomb on the table, quick.

00:57:03Where did he go?

00:57:04Up the coal chute.

00:57:13Look after her, Bennett.

00:57:14He's the best agent we have.

00:57:15Cover the front door.

00:57:16Yes, sir.

00:57:29Up the coal bin, sir.

00:57:30He must be still here in the garden.

00:57:32Quickly, men. We'll stretch the grounds.

00:57:36There he goes, men.

00:57:45Get the trails.

00:57:46Hold up.

00:57:47Come on, you men.

00:57:48Get the trails.

00:57:49Hold up.

00:57:50Come on, you men.

00:57:51Let's go.

00:57:52Come on, you men.

00:57:53Go on.

00:57:54Go in.

00:57:55Let's go.

00:58:18Professor!

00:58:19What is yours?

00:58:20Stop.

00:58:21Those generators coming.

00:58:23Sorry.

00:58:41They're getting along famously, aren't they, Benny?

00:58:43Yes, they are.

00:58:45He's a fine boy. And Helen, well.

00:58:48She is a remarkable girl.

00:58:50I wish I'd known more about her from the start, though.

00:58:53I'd have felt far more comfortable.

00:58:55Sorry I had to keep you in the dark, but with Strindler's the prize,

00:58:58that's the way it had to be.

00:59:00No one else knew?

00:59:01No one.

00:59:03When I gave her the assignment, I told her to play her part,

00:59:06regardless of cost.

00:59:08There were occasions such as the stolen plans when the cost was heavy.

00:59:12There were times such as the night we set the bogus trap for Helen,

00:59:17when we almost overplayed our parts, trying to be too clever.

00:59:22But it worked out all right in the end.

00:59:24We had to get Strindler, and we got him.

00:59:28But tell me, Yates, these sacrifices we are all making,

00:59:32do you think they will eventually mean something to mankind?

00:59:35I wish I were able to answer that question.

00:59:37We want to help humanity.

00:59:39We fight wars only because we crave peace so ardently,

00:59:44and we pray that each war will be the last.

00:59:48But always in the strange scheme of things,

00:59:51some maniac with a lust for power arises,

00:59:54and in one moment destroys the peace and tranquility

00:59:58we've created through the years.

01:00:00We hate war.

01:00:03We despise it.

01:00:05But when war comes, we must and will fight on and on.

01:00:12The End

01:00:17THE END
