00:00:00Ragazzi, uno, due...

00:00:30...y'n'y'n'y'n'y'n'y'n...

00:01:00...y'n'y'n'y'n'y'n...

00:01:30...y'n'y'n'y'n'y'n'y'n'y'n'y'n'y'n'y'n'y'n'y'n'y'n'y'n'y'.

00:01:38These are four brilliant criminals...

00:01:42...at the climax of their most magnificent effort.

00:01:44This effort began six months ago on port of Eto'o, where we were all to board the ship for Africa.

00:01:54They were my associates in a quest for uranium.

00:01:58An element not one of them knew the first thing about, except that they'd heard you could get dough for it.

00:02:03Big dough.

00:02:05Who? I mean, what do you suppose they are?

00:02:07Business bed, was it matter?

00:02:09Well, if we're going to be on a small boat with them for weeks and weeks.

00:02:12I only said they might be for the passengers.

00:02:15Harry, we must beware of those men. They're desperate characters.

00:02:19What makes you say that?

00:02:20Not one of them looked at my legs.

00:02:27Good morning, Mrs. Danrother. Good morning, Billy Boy.

00:02:30Care to join us in the store?

00:02:31Turn up the livar, sweat out the toxins, help nature to help you.

00:02:35Wouldn't dream of it.

00:02:38Really, Billy, you must indeed be sore-pant with Mr. Peterson.

00:02:42If I were to treat him with more than common politeness, he'd misunderstand and try to push me around.

00:02:47Mr. Peterson is a bully.

00:02:50Billy, did you see this?

00:02:54That man in London has been killed.

00:02:56What man?

00:02:58Paul Van Mier, high-ranking official in the colonial office,

00:03:01was stabbed to death early this morning by an unknown assailant outside a club in Soho.

00:03:07This is the third crime of violence to occur in that vicinity within the past month.

00:03:14What is it, Billy?

00:03:15In heaven's name, Billy, say something.

00:03:28You understand, of course, that Peterson arranged this.

00:03:43It seems there's been a lot of violence around there lately.

00:03:46Don't pretend to be a fool.

00:03:47But look, Billy, this happened early Tuesday morning.

00:03:50We'd all left London well before that.

00:03:52What about Jack Ross? What about the galloping major?

00:03:55But he only, I thought he only stayed behind to get that phone call from Mambasa,

00:04:00if it came true.

00:04:01He'll be here this morning.

00:04:02Well?

00:04:04Don't get so excited.

00:04:06Don't jump to unpleasant conclusions.

00:04:08Jump, they might as well have drawn a map.

00:04:10Why was Peterson worried about Van Mier?

00:04:12What made him think he was dangerous?

00:04:14He was afraid Van Mier wouldn't stay bought.

00:04:16I'm afraid he'd get the wind up after we'd gone.

00:04:19The envisions of him trotting upstairs to his superiors,

00:04:23announcing I have certain information,

00:04:25certain persons have paid certain sums of money.

00:04:28Don't talk so loud, Billy.

00:04:29To obtain illegal rights to certain mineral supplies.

00:04:32That Indian, that Raja or whatever he was,

00:04:34that you worked for in the old days,

00:04:36he killed a lot of people, didn't he?

00:04:38Ah, but he had a better style.

00:04:40Besides, he was out for a kingdom,

00:04:42half the size of France.

00:04:43What's the difference between that and millions of dollars?

00:04:46We must think of the future, Billy.

00:04:49This is our big chance.

00:04:50It may be our last.

00:04:52Except for Mr. Peterson,

00:04:53we couldn't even pay last night's hotel bill.

00:04:56Where are you going?

00:04:58A little cafe, drink a lot of piano,

00:04:59and listen to the band.

00:05:00You won't make a fuss, will you?

00:05:02It doesn't do to make a fuss.

00:05:03You have to think of the main objective.

00:05:08Naturally, it doesn't do to be fussy.

00:05:16A little bit better than that.

00:05:17You move, Wendlin.

00:05:19You bastard.

00:05:35The luggage is in there.

00:05:37The luggage is in there.

00:05:45Bring it up.

00:05:54Why, look, the desperadoes.

00:05:56Shh.

00:05:59Not quite in our contract, Billy. Hard liquor before noon.

00:06:02I'm celebrating.

00:06:03Celebrating what?

00:06:04The safe arrival of the Major. He came galloping in a minute ago, looking tired but satisfied.

00:06:12I take it his mission was accomplished?

00:06:14Yes. Well, it's getting on for lunchtime, gentlemen. I'll see you later, Billy.

00:06:22Your move, Gwendolyn.

00:06:25Gwendolyn, it's your move.

00:06:27Oh.

00:06:28Check.

00:06:29Lance.

00:06:31Are you sailing on the Niagara?

00:06:34Africa bound.

00:06:35So are we.

00:06:36Oh, my name is Cho. This is my wife.

00:06:38How do you do? My name's Tanner.

00:06:39How do you do?

00:06:40Are your friends sailing too?

00:06:42The whole kit and caboodle.

00:06:45You're a very mysterious group, I must say.

00:06:47Really, Gwendolyn?

00:06:48How so mysterious?

00:06:49Well, for one thing, you all appear to be of different nationalities.

00:06:54Your move, Gwendolyn.

00:06:57Check.

00:06:59I have a theory about you and your friends.

00:07:01Correction.

00:07:02My associates.

00:07:04As a matter of fact, I think you're doctors.

00:07:08Evil ones, I mean.

00:07:09You're going to the heart of the jungle where human life is cheap

00:07:12to perform ghastly experiments which require the sacrifice of thousands on the altar of science.

00:07:18You must excuse my wife.

00:07:19She has a very lively imagination.

00:07:25Check me.

00:07:27I don't know how you expect me to play a decent game when you keep talking all the time.

00:07:31Harry's been all out of sorts today.

00:07:33Usually, he's a wonderful loser.

00:07:35Good morning, Mr. Danrada.

00:07:37I bring you the captain's compliments,

00:07:39along with the sad news that the sailing of the SS Nyanga has been postponed.

00:07:44Now, look here.

00:07:45This boat is definitely, most definitely, scheduled to sail at 2400 hours.

00:07:49Scheduled, Mr. Chelm, but not, I fear, destined to do so.

00:07:53The propeller gone, or is the captain drunk?

00:07:55Of course the captain is drunk.

00:07:57But the real trouble is with the oil pump.

00:07:59Well, it's not good enough.

00:08:00Simply not good enough.

00:08:01Quite right, sir.

00:08:02But you're putting it too mildly.

00:08:03The present oil pump is no good at all.

00:08:06Well, how much delay does this mean?

00:08:08To locate, bargain for, purchase, and install a new one would require, I should say,

00:08:12more than a day, less than a fortnight.

00:08:16Utter, hopeless inefficiency.

00:08:19Only it isn't the oil pump at all.

00:08:21Just making it an excuse to hang about and pick up extra cargo.

00:08:24Guns are open.

00:08:25I wouldn't be surprised if she turned out to be a smuggler.

00:08:28What a miserable place to be stuck in.

00:08:30Squally, fifth-rate port.

00:08:33Ever been in Fort Averro before?

00:08:35No, I don't know this part of the world at all.

00:08:37Oh, I thought not.

00:08:38Otherwise, you wouldn't be so upset about staying.

00:08:40Magnificent country.

00:08:42Ruins to visit by moonlight, fine stretch of beach.

00:08:46Back there in the hills, one of the few spots left in the world where you can get decent food and drink.

00:08:52It's called the Blue Pavilion.

00:08:53I insist you give me the pleasure of having dinner with us tonight.

00:08:57Well, that's awfully kind of you, but...

00:08:59Us? You and your associates?

00:09:02My wife and me.

00:09:04The committee?

00:09:05Oh, uh, Mr. Chelm, I want you to meet a friend of mine.

00:09:08This is the galloping major.

00:09:10The committee wants you to toddle around.

00:09:12Okay.

00:09:13Right away.

00:09:14I'll be along.

00:09:15They're to toddle.

00:09:16I said I'd be along.

00:09:17They don't like to be kept waiting.

00:09:20I'll lay on a car.

00:09:21We'll meet in front of the hotel at six.

00:09:24Out of it, Edgy.

00:09:28Dan Rather.

00:09:29An American, I suppose.

00:09:31Anyway, I...

00:09:32I quite like him.

00:09:34Time.

00:09:3524 hours in the day.

00:09:361,440 minutes.

00:09:38For somebody else to get busy on the same idea as ours.

00:09:41We ought to have got a plane and flown out.

00:09:43As I said from the start.

00:09:44Do you remember I said it, O'Hara?

00:09:46My name is not O'Hara.

00:09:47It is O'Hara.

00:09:48You hear?

00:09:49Mr. O'Hara.

00:09:50Yes, Mr. O'Hara.

00:09:51But do you remember I said it?

00:09:52I said we ought to take a plane.

00:09:54Time, time.

00:09:55What is time?

00:09:56Swiss manufactured.

00:09:57French hoarded.

00:09:59Italians squandered.

00:10:00Americans say it is money.

00:10:02Hindus say it does not exist.

00:10:03You know what I say?

00:10:04I say time is a crook.

00:10:06If we took a plane, we'd be there inside 15 hours.

00:10:09He stayed over whom?

00:10:10North away.

00:10:11I don't want any more talk about flying.

00:10:12The sky is for the birds.

00:10:13My feet are on the ground.

00:10:14Both of them.

00:10:17Come in, Billy boy.

00:10:21What's all the fuss about?

00:10:22No fuss, Billy.

00:10:23We're merely wondering what course to pursue

00:10:25in view of this unfortunate delay.

00:10:28Join the peasants and their rebels.

00:10:29Go to church.

00:10:30Write your memoirs.

00:10:34Very funny.

00:10:35I like an associate of mine to have a sense of humor.

00:10:37Good laugh does more for the stomach muscles

00:10:39than five minutes setting up exercises.

00:10:44And now that we've had our moment of fun

00:10:46and all the better for it, let's get back to the question.

00:10:48Doesn't this delay call for a cable to your friend

00:10:51in British East?

00:10:52Plus and send cables.

00:10:53Can't you get it through your head

00:10:54that the population down there has trained noses

00:10:57they can smell a uranium deal like a cat smells fish?

00:11:00But aren't you afraid, Billy,

00:11:02that when our little party doesn't show up on the date you said,

00:11:05aren't you a teeny bit afraid

00:11:07that your friend might use this as an excuse

00:11:09to begin negotiations elsewhere?

00:11:11If my friend were looking for an excuse,

00:11:14he'd find a better one in the morning papers.

00:11:17What do you mean?

00:11:18I'm talking about the untimely demise of Paul Van Mier.

00:11:26Well, I'm appalled, Billy.

00:11:28What an unwholesome opinion you must have of your colleagues

00:11:31to imagine that we...

00:11:33Look here, Peterson.

00:11:34You don't have to convince me of anything.

00:11:35You don't care what I think

00:11:36as long as I don't do anything about it.

00:11:38And I won't unless you ever decide

00:11:40to sic that knife-happy little junkie on me.

00:11:43Watch yourself, Larry.

00:11:45Now, Jack, behave yourself.

00:11:47Sit down.

00:11:50For shame, Billy.

00:11:52I think you owe an apology to everybody in this room.

00:11:55And if you're half the gentleman I know you are,

00:11:57I'm sure you'll make it.

00:11:59As I was saying, Peterson, you have nothing to worry about.

00:12:01My friend won't pull out unless I tell him to.

00:12:04For purely venal reasons, that's the last thing I have in mind.

00:12:07Jack, give Billy a light.

00:12:22What a wonderful car.

00:12:24It looks as if it had won the Grand Prix d'Elegance many years ago.

00:12:27Oh, it did.

00:12:28It was built for Oroposo.

00:12:29You know, the bullfighter.

00:12:30He had it made this way so he could stand up and take powers.

00:12:33He only got one right and it bequeathed it to me on his deathbed.

00:12:36Well, here's to Oroposo.

00:12:37I hope you like champagne.

00:12:39You mean it's yours?

00:12:40Well, I gave it to my former chauffeur, the fat bandit in the front seat.

00:12:43Harry, look at that wonderful villa.

00:12:45Well, that was Bertie Crampton's.

00:12:47Oh, you mean Lord Crampton in Gloucestershire.

00:12:50His family acres marched hand in hand with ours.

00:12:53Gloucestershire, the cathedral town, trout fishing, garden parties.

00:12:59What a beautiful life.

00:13:01You know England well?

00:13:02Immersionally, I am English.

00:13:05I serve tea every afternoon with crumpets.

00:13:08And I've always kept up my subscription to country life and TED.

00:13:13Trouble with England, it's all pomp and no circumstance.

00:13:16You're very wise to get out of it.

00:13:17Escape while you can.

00:13:18Well, I'd hardly describe myself as escaping.

00:13:20Simply so happened that a relative of mine, first cousin actually, who died recently,

00:13:24happened to be the owner of a coffee plantation.

00:13:26Africa's the place now.

00:13:27You talk about the diamond boys, the gold boys.

00:13:29They just skimmed a little off the top.

00:13:31Potential mineral wealth of Africa's hardly been scratched.

00:13:34Now, there is a villa.

00:13:36Big.

00:13:37Well, that's the Villa Capriccio.

00:13:39Famed in song and story.

00:13:40A three-star attraction in Baedecker.

00:13:42Whose is it?

00:13:43Well, the bank's on it now.

00:13:44Used to be mine.

00:13:45Yours?

00:13:46Yes.

00:13:47I brought old Charles over from Foucage.

00:13:49You know, the old Foucage, to run it for me.

00:13:51Then when I decided to pull up steaks, I bought him this restaurant we're going to.

00:13:54Least I could do to show my appreciation.

00:13:56Well, here we are.

00:13:58Charles!

00:13:59Charles!

00:14:00Wait here a minute.

00:14:01When I route old Charles out, he doesn't even know what to do.

00:14:03Charles out, he doesn't even know we're in this neck of the woods.

00:14:05Charles!

00:14:06Charles!

00:14:07He must think we're extraordinarily naive.

00:14:11Knew all those people.

00:14:13Owned that vast villa.

00:14:14Bought this place because he liked the fellas cooking.

00:14:17What a ball to do.

00:14:18Oh, perhaps he did.

00:14:19I beg leave to doubt it.

00:14:20Did you notice his wife?

00:14:21She seemed to be a rather sensitive little woman.

00:14:24Really embarrassed by all that rot.

00:14:26I am sorry, signore.

00:14:28As you see, we are closed.

00:14:30We do not open for another two months.

00:14:32Charles!

00:14:33What the devil's going on here?

00:14:34This place is falling to rack and ruin.

00:14:36The place is closed.

00:14:37We'll have to die in the hotel after all.

00:14:38Monsieur Dan.

00:14:39Monsieur, Monsieur Dan.

00:14:40Madame, why did you not let me know you were coming?

00:14:45You did not say you were with Monsieur Dan.

00:14:48Nothing is close to Monsieur Dan.

00:14:49I'd better see you again, Charles.

00:14:50It's been too long, Monsieur Dan.

00:14:51Not since the night you left the villa.

00:14:53Remember your pervert party.

00:14:54I've tried ever since to forget it.

00:14:55Remember how in the morning we escorted you to the train with violins playing and everybody

00:14:58cried.

00:14:59Like when a king you love very much leaves this country.

00:15:03Aren't you dressed yet?

00:15:04Do I appear to be dressed?

00:15:05Yes.

00:15:06Do I appear to be dressed?

00:15:07No.

00:15:08No.

00:15:09No.

00:15:10No.

00:15:11No.

00:15:12No.

00:15:13No.

00:15:14No.

00:15:15No.

00:15:16No.

00:15:17No.

00:15:18No.

00:15:19No.

00:15:20No.

00:15:21No.

00:15:22No.

00:15:23No.

00:15:24No.

00:15:25No.

00:15:26No.

00:15:27No.

00:15:28No.

00:15:29No.

00:15:30No.

00:15:31No.

00:15:32No.

00:15:33No.

00:15:34No.

00:15:35No.

00:15:36No.

00:15:37No.

00:15:38No.

00:15:39No.

00:15:40No.

00:15:41No.

00:15:42No.

00:15:43No.

00:15:44No.

00:15:45No.

00:15:46No.

00:15:47No.

00:15:48No.

00:15:49No.

00:15:51No, I'm afraid we can't.

00:15:53Harry has this wretched chill and...

00:15:54Give me the telephone.

00:15:58Chalm here.

00:15:59Yes.

00:16:01Quite.

00:16:03Absolutely.

00:16:04A hot water bottle.

00:16:07That's very, very good of you, old boy.

00:16:10Now, look here, Dan Rather.

00:16:12Would you mind very much if my wife went alone?

00:16:15She enjoys this sightseeing sort of stuff, you know.

00:16:18Splendid.

00:16:20Splendid.

00:16:20I'll send her along.

00:16:25You know, Gwendolyn, nowadays...

00:16:27one simply cannot afford to dismiss people...

00:16:29just because they're not one sort.

00:16:31One has to try and bridge the gulf.

00:16:35After all, it's a new world we're going into.

00:16:37One's got to take it as one finds it.

00:16:39Face it.

00:16:40Use it.

00:16:41Master it.

00:16:42Two.

00:17:07Three.

00:17:08You know, I've seen Americans on the street and in the cinema, of course, but I've never talked to one before.

00:17:19Are you a typical American? I think it's important that I should know.

00:17:23Why important?

00:17:25There are two good reasons for falling in love.

00:17:29One is that the object of your affections is unlike anyone else.

00:17:33A rare spirit, such as Lord Byron.

00:17:36The other is that he's, like everybody else, only superior.

00:17:41Harry, for instance, is the very best of a type.

00:17:43Well, if you must know, I'm a typical rare spirit.

00:17:47How long did you live here?

00:17:48Oh, the longest I've ever lived anywhere is two years.

00:17:52Well, when you were a child, didn't you ever have a mother and a father and a house and a street and a town?

00:17:57No, I was an orphan until I was 20, and then a rich and beautiful lady adopted me.

00:18:02You know, I've changed my mind about your being an evil doctor.

00:18:06You're off to keep a rendezvous someplace in Africa, sacred to the tribesmen.

00:18:12You're going to found a new empire and make yourself master of the riches of the world.

00:18:18But you need a beautiful blonde queen to impress the natives as the incarnation of the Queen of Sheba.

00:18:25That's why you're making a pass at me.

00:18:28Am I?

00:18:28Of course.

00:18:31I don't generally go sightseeing with strange men.

00:18:34You don't believe that, do you?

00:18:36Well, I believe anything you say.

00:18:38Do you?

00:18:40Well, you shouldn't, you know.

00:18:42You really shouldn't.

00:18:44Mr. Chelven?

00:18:45Yes?

00:18:46It's I, Mrs. Delrother, Maria.

00:18:50Oh, come in.

00:18:52Tea for two and two for tea?

00:18:55Now, that's most awfully kind.

00:18:57You shouldn't have troubled, really.

00:18:58Billy told me you had a chill.

00:19:01Bit of one on the liver.

00:19:02Two tarsin.

00:19:03Milk, of course.

00:19:04Of course.

00:19:09I feel I should like somehow to do him a good turn of some kind.

00:19:13You do?

00:19:14Well, naturally.

00:19:15Oh, I see.

00:19:16Naturally.

00:19:18I think it would be nice if you were able to do something for him.

00:19:23Help him along.

00:19:24Give him the benefit of your advice.

00:19:26Delighted, of course.

00:19:27For instance.

00:19:29Oh, something with business.

00:19:31He was very pleased with that tip you gave him on the way home last night about the gold shares.

00:19:35I've forgotten what I told him.

00:19:37What was it?

00:19:37You see, if you were helping him, it would be so much easier for us to be together a lot out there in Africa.

00:19:54Was he any head for business?

00:19:56Why, he's simply brilliant.

00:19:58I wouldn't have thought it.

00:20:00But of course he is.

00:20:02You don't suppose I'd marry a ninny, do you?

00:20:04Well, if you imagine that Harry's simply going to Africa to plant coffee, you're very much mistaken.

00:20:10In point of fact, in point of fact, coffee is the least of Harry's interests.

00:20:18In point of fact, the land he is acquiring is extremely rich in certain minerals.

00:20:24Minerals which are indispensable to the production of atomic energy.

00:20:28Harry's land simply deems with uranium.

00:20:31Wouldn't surprise me to see him become the uranium king.

00:20:33So, you see, my husband isn't such a ninny as you may have imagined.

00:20:38It might very well be worth your while to go in with him.

00:20:42The potential mineral wealth of Africa has hardly been scratched.

00:20:45I was telling you last night.

00:20:47Well, of course.

00:20:48It's a well-known fact.

00:21:03Good day, boy.

00:21:12Had a happy day?

00:21:14Very.

00:21:15I'm so glad.

00:21:16What an attractive woman Mrs. Chelm is.

00:21:19Is that what you called me over to tell me?

00:21:20Who are the Chelms?

00:21:22They're English.

00:21:22Going out to British East, they have a coffee plantation.

00:21:25Any money in coffee?

00:21:26No, but there's a type of Englishman goes off to coffee plantations without caring whether there's any money in it or not.

00:21:31Well, it'll leave them coffee plantations and they go out to them.

00:21:35But why this sudden interest in the Chelm?

00:21:37I'd just like to know who's making friends with my friends.

00:21:41Now you know.

00:21:55You know, if I ever leave you, it'll be for someone of the type of Harry Chelm.

00:22:01Well, it'll be for you.

00:22:02I suppose that type of Englishman is like a story I once heard.

00:22:07An English gardener in England was showing some Americans one of those wonderful English loans.

00:22:14And, of course, they wanted to know how to make a loan like that.

00:22:17And this English gardener said...

00:22:19He said all you have to do is get some good grass and roll it every day for 600 years.

00:22:23I heard that story before you were born.

00:22:26Englishmen tell it when they're feeling down in the mouth.

00:22:28You just don't understand the Chelm type.

00:22:33You're not even listening.

00:22:35You never do.

00:22:36Someday I'll say goodbye and you won't hear that either.

00:22:40One day a Chelm really meet my type and run off with him.

00:22:44And you'll be simply amazed.

00:22:46That's possible.

00:22:47George Moore said, I learned it by heart years ago, he said that each great passion is the fruit of many fruitless years.

00:22:59George Moore was a very distinguished English writer, you know.

00:23:03Except that he was Irish.

00:23:05Cheer up, sugar.

00:23:05If I make a million on this deal, I'll buy you an old English lawn when we can roll up and take with us.

00:23:12I'll buy you an old English gardener, you know.

00:23:17Billy, good morning.

00:23:20What's our wide-eyed Irish leprechaun doing outside my door?

00:23:24Why do you always make jokes about my name, huh?

00:23:26In Chile, the name of O'Hara is a tip-top name.

00:23:30Many Germans in Chile have become to be called O'Hara.

00:23:33Good morning, Mr. O'Hara.

00:23:35Madame, my respects.

00:23:37Perhaps Mr. O'Hara would like something to drink?

00:23:39Yes, uh, maybe perhaps, uh, a little whiskey, huh?

00:23:44Very weak, please.

00:23:46What's this visit in honor of?

00:23:48Oh, just wanted to have a little talk with you.

00:23:53Okay, but make it fast.

00:23:55Fast?

00:23:57I give you my word, Billy.

00:23:58I, I give you my word, I feel to you like, uh, like an older brother.

00:24:05Well, it's not so much a difference of age.

00:24:07It's, uh, it's probably, yes, the reason is because, because I come from a culture which

00:24:13is so much older than yours in my country.

00:24:17A child six years old is older in his heart than you'll be at, at, at 60.

00:24:24It smokes, it drinks, it philosophizes.

00:24:26At this rate, I'll be 60 before you get to the point.

00:24:29The point, the, the point is that, that Peterson revealed myself, we are the principles in this

00:24:36case.

00:24:37We are in with the money.

00:24:39We cannot switch around and turn and, but an agent, it's easy to imagine that he could

00:24:45conceivably doesn't feel himself quite as irrevocably committed as, uh, Peterson or the...

00:24:53We're fellow passengers, I believe.

00:24:58Not quite yet, would you say?

00:25:00Too sadly true.

00:25:01By any chance, you, you don't happen to have seen your Mr. Danruther about me.

00:25:04I don't think Billy's up yet.

00:25:06Not 11.

00:25:07He's rather a late riser.

00:25:08But he said it, he said it.

00:25:10Well, anyway.

00:25:11I shouldn't put too much stock on what Billy says, particularly when he's had a few drinks.

00:25:15It's not that he means to break his word, he just forgets that he's given it.

00:25:18Charm and dependability so seldom go in one package.

00:25:21There are exceptions, of course.

00:25:22Your husband, I imagine, from his manner and behavior is one.

00:25:26Oh, yes, very.

00:25:28Well, quite, Harry.

00:25:29I'm so looking forward to meeting your husband and having a chat about Africa.

00:25:32By all means.

00:25:34I understand he's in coffee?

00:25:36You make sound like a total immersion.

00:25:39Part of Africa we're going through is due for some pretty important changes.

00:25:43In my opinion, things will be booming out there before you can say Jack Robinson.

00:25:47I do hope there won't be too many changes.

00:25:49It's completely unspoiled, I hear, with some of the loveliest scenery in the world.

00:25:53I can't imagine anything more lovely in the way of scenery than to have a few acres of gold and diamonds cropping up on a piece of land I'd bought for a song.

00:26:00Heaven forbid.

00:26:01Next thing, there'd be big, ugly holes everywhere and great, horrid machines instead of a lovely scenery.

00:26:08Anyway, I don't think my husband worries much about money and business, that sort of thing.

00:26:12Really?

00:26:13I mean, to appreciate my husband's point of view, one has to understand his background, those lawns, hundreds of years in the making, those immemorial elms, those walls hung with family portraits, generations of them, those great echoing galleries where so much of English history is being made.

00:26:34Taxes must be terrific on a place like that.

00:26:36What would people like the Chelms care about taxes with their kind of money?

00:26:42I mean, when a family's been a power in the city of London for so long, one of the great financial families.

00:26:48Power in the city?

00:26:49You mean, oh yes, of course, one of those Chelms.

00:26:52I'm surprised you know about them at all.

00:26:55Very few people do.

00:26:57They prefer to work behind the scenes.

00:26:59I find it rather hard to believe that a man in your husband's position would go to Africa just for the coffee planting.

00:27:06You're very quick, aren't you?

00:27:09In point of fact, he isn't.

00:27:10In point of fact, he has a very special reason.

00:27:13So I suspect it.

00:27:14It has to do with sin.

00:27:19Sin?

00:27:19Since the war, my husband has been almost exclusively concerned with spiritual values.

00:27:26He feels that if he can get away there, in the heart of Africa, he will come face to face with essentials.

00:27:32He wants to work out the problem of sin.

00:27:35Sin?

00:27:36Why, yes, of course.

00:27:38Isn't that what we're all most concerned with?

00:27:41Sin?

00:27:44Gwendolyn, what are you doing here?

00:27:46I thought we were supposed to meet on the beach.

00:27:48Harry, I want you to meet Mr...

00:27:50My name is Peterson.

00:27:51I've been having the most delightful talk to your wife.

00:27:54She tells me you're interested in spiritual values.

00:27:57I myself am vastly concerned.

00:27:58Harry, we'd really better be going.

00:28:00You'll excuse us, Mr. Peterson.

00:28:02What have you been telling that man?

00:28:04Oh, nothing, Harry.

00:28:05He got onto the subject of religion.

00:28:07And I just happened to mention that we usually go to church on Sunday.

00:28:12Billy, I...

00:28:13I think it is a hard time to take stock of yourself.

00:28:17Can you truthfully say about yourself, I, I, Billy Dan Reuter, have acted fairly and squarely to my associates, huh?

00:28:25But of course he can, Mr. O'Hara.

00:28:26Everybody knows Billy's the soul of honor.

00:28:29Shut up, Shiver.

00:28:29Perhaps he is the soul of honor, and perhaps appearances are deceiving.

00:28:33Do you mind telling me what it is I'm supposed to have done?

00:28:36Nothing.

00:28:37It's your conduct.

00:28:38Your, your, your conduct isn't...

00:28:41Your conduct does not inspire confidence, and, and confidence really is the most important necessity in an undertaking of our kind.

00:28:48One may be completely innocent, but if one's actions invite suspicion, one might as well be guilty.

00:28:53To be trustworthy is not more important than to seem to be trustworthy.

00:28:57We're here.

00:29:01Billy, have you done something you shouldn't have?

00:29:05Tell me, Billy.

00:29:07Tell me the truth.

00:29:09My conduct.

00:29:11Do they think I am the hired man?

00:29:14But you are, you know.

00:29:16You are the hired man.

00:29:19How good and kind of you to remind me.

00:29:22How good, how true, how kind.

00:29:27Oh, I say, dear brother, good to see you.

00:29:43How about a drink?

00:29:44Well, I, uh...

00:29:45Oh, come on, my dear fellow, let me buy you a drink.

00:29:49Oh, uh, Gwendolyn, don't forget to send one to Aunt Beatrice.

00:29:52Can't understand it.

00:29:57Gwendolyn distinctly said she'd join me on the beach.

00:29:59Then I come back and find her sitting there in that cafe.

00:30:02Extraordinary creatures, women.

00:30:03Well, let's drink to them.

00:30:05Perno.

00:30:06Scotch.

00:30:07Come on, you tiny little wreck, have a drink.

00:30:09We're drinking to women.

00:30:10Take the drink, but we won't join you in the toast.

00:30:16Glass of Irish.

00:30:17Women.

00:30:19Hitler had the right idea.

00:30:20Keep them in their place.

00:30:21Kind of kin to Kirk and babies in the kitchen.

00:30:24Say what you want to about Hitler.

00:30:25He had his points.

00:30:26Come, come.

00:30:27Look here.

00:30:27This generation's had its chance.

00:30:29Hitler and Mussolini, those were the men.

00:30:31Now is the age of the barbarians.

00:30:33The world's going up in smoke.

00:30:34I say, let it come, get it over with.

00:30:36Well, if you don't mind, I'd like another year or so of worry.

00:30:39Worry? Just one minute, laddies.

00:30:41I've just two or three words to say to you, laddies, and that's don't worry.

00:30:45Don't ever worry.

00:30:46I'm in a position to know secret information.

00:30:49The Rosicrucians, the Great White Brotherhood, the High Secret Orders,

00:30:52which have no faith.

00:30:53You must have faith.

00:30:55Faith and power, secret power.

00:30:57Men who guard the trust from the deepest inside, as I watch them, I call it.

00:31:00Mystic rulers, all one club, chained together by one purpose, one idea.

00:31:04Mankind's champions.

00:31:05Follow me, Billy?

00:31:06Oh, why, of course.

00:31:07This generation's had its chance.

00:31:10Hitler, Mussolini.

00:31:11I can't stand here and permit you.

00:31:13Are you interrupting me?

00:31:14Relax, Jack.

00:31:15Have another drink.

00:31:16I simply want to state that things don't happen to me what certain people imagine.

00:31:21An officer may find himself strapped for money,

00:31:23and he may undertake certain things which in other circumstances is no.

00:31:26Absolutely no.

00:31:28Absolutely.

00:31:29I mean, absolutely no.

00:31:30In the old days, I should have simply told people of your ilk to buy their own drinks.

00:31:35Poor old Jack.

00:31:37I'll teach you.

00:31:40I'll teach you to insult an ex-officer of the Indian Army.

00:31:44Well, are you yellow?

00:31:46Hello?

00:31:49The bar?

00:31:52You're Major Ross?

00:31:53Right.

00:31:57Ross here?

00:31:59Right.

00:32:00Right again.

00:32:02Come along, the committee.

00:32:04Save for the bell.

00:32:05I've never heard such rot in my life.

00:32:12Sin.

00:32:13Oh, sin.

00:32:14All I could do was to keep a straight face.

00:32:16No, I'm certain of it now.

00:32:17These are two very clever and dangerous antagonists.

00:32:20Sit here and help me close.

00:32:21But how could they possibly know what we're up to?

00:32:23Great interests like the Chelms have ways and means.

00:32:26Yes, and I'm convinced they're out to get us even before we get started.

00:32:29We must get ahead of them.

00:32:30Time has entered the picture in a new way.

00:32:32Never forget the time factor, gentlemen.

00:32:34It always enters the picture in the end.

00:32:36I'm sending a cable to London.

00:32:37I want full information on those Chelms interests.

00:32:40British Africa, too.

00:32:41Check up on his interests there.

00:32:43Every time the plane lands, I'll try and reach you by telephone.

00:32:45Keep me informed of the latest development.

00:32:47Dan Reuter, that lying, swinish, rum-swilling double-crosser.

00:32:51What pleasure.

00:32:52No, you can't at the moment.

00:32:54We need him.

00:32:54Right now, we need that swinish, lying double-crosser.

00:32:57Did I hear my name?

00:32:59Rub-a-dub-dub.

00:33:00Three men in a tub.

00:33:02Tub?

00:33:04It's been a change of plan, Billy Boy.

00:33:08You and I are leaving for Africa.

00:33:09How's that?

00:33:10You and I are flying to Africa by the next plane.

00:33:13Oh, what's happened, Peter?

00:33:14There must be something important to get you on a plane.

00:33:16Perfectly simple, Billy Boy.

00:33:18The trouble with the oil pump and the general uncertainty about when and the anger will sail

00:33:21forces me to sacrifice my personal comfort.

00:33:24I prefer to fly rather than run the risk of arriving too late.

00:33:27There's also such a thing as arriving too early.

00:33:30What do you mean by that?

00:33:31Well, the land doesn't come up for auction for a couple of weeks.

00:33:34My friend can't make his move until then.

00:33:35If we sit around British East all that time, somebody's going to start wondering who we

00:33:39are and ask questions.

00:33:41Is that your real opinion, Billy?

00:33:42Or are you just looking forward to a long sea voyage with the attractive Mrs. Chelmer's

00:33:46your companion?

00:33:47Or perhaps you have even other reasons?

00:33:49Such as?

00:33:50That's for you to know.

00:33:51Oh, and for us to find out, you'd better get your packing done.

00:33:59Billy?

00:34:01Where are you going?

00:34:03Off to Africa, flying.

00:34:05Just like that?

00:34:07Weren't you even going to kiss me goodbye?

00:34:08I wish.

00:34:15Don't say it.

00:34:16What?

00:34:17That you wish we'd never met.

00:34:19You'll be coming on the boat in Africa.

00:34:20We'll get together and...

00:34:21I think I hate you.

00:34:23Letting those revolting men order you about.

00:34:26Don't deny it.

00:34:26I've watched them.

00:34:27They treat you like a servant.

00:34:29They say, hop it, and off you hop.

00:34:33I know what it is.

00:34:34I have a hold on you.

00:34:35Some black secret that could ruin you.

00:34:39What makes you think that?

00:34:41No, it happens all the time.

00:34:43My old Spanish nurse told me that half the people in the world would be ruined at once

00:34:46if everyone told what they knew.

00:34:49But couldn't you have them done away with?

00:34:52You must know plenty of people who could bump them off.

00:34:57It'd probably cost a good deal, but it'd be worth it, certainly.

00:35:00Well, it's not impossible, except that afterwards I wouldn't have any money.

00:35:03This way I stand to make a lot.

00:35:05Millions?

00:35:05Maybe.

00:35:07Then perhaps your connection with those men isn't quite so indignified as I thought.

00:35:13Those millions, would they be pounds or dollars?

00:35:17Either way suits me.

00:35:19No, that's very careless of you.

00:35:22The state of the pound is so uncertain.

00:35:23You must think in terms of hard currency.

00:35:26Maybe I should hire you to handle my affairs.

00:35:29You could do worse.

00:35:30I'm awfully intelligent, Ray.

00:35:33Come along, Billy boy.

00:35:35The car's waiting.

00:35:35If we can't get faster than this, we'll miss the plane.

00:35:55Press on.

00:35:56Press on.

00:36:05The high posting.

00:36:06Push, push.

00:36:23Push, push.

00:36:41Come on.

00:36:43One, two, three.

00:36:53Come on.

00:36:59Come on.

00:37:03Come on.

00:37:07Come on.

00:37:13Come on.

00:37:15Pfeiffer! Pfeiffer!

00:37:45Pfeiffer!

00:37:47Pfeiffer!

00:37:49Pfeiffer!

00:37:51Pfeiffer!

00:37:53Pfeiffer!

00:38:03Pfeiffer!

00:38:05Pfeiffer!

00:38:07Pfeiffer!

00:38:13My car!

00:38:15My car!

00:38:17My beautiful car!

00:38:19You did that on purpose! What? You planned it that way!

00:38:21I know what you're up to.

00:38:22I know everything.

00:38:23I know about the uranium on the Chelmsland,

00:38:25the Chelms interest in the city of London.

00:38:27The what?

00:38:28You heard me, the Chelms interest.

00:38:29I take it your information comes from a reliable source.

00:38:31It does, from Mrs. Chelms, myself.

00:38:33Ah, magnificent.

00:38:34Simply magnificent.

00:38:35You must pay me back for the loss of my beautiful car.

00:38:38If you weren't a benighted jackass,

00:38:39if you could see as far as you could spit,

00:38:41you'd know there's no such thing as the Chelms interest.

00:38:43You'll have to do better than that, Mr. Dan Ruther,

00:38:45very much better than that.

00:38:46Don't believe me!

00:38:47Check with London.

00:38:48If you find out it's anything more than

00:38:50than the Don at Hill Gloucestershire Squire,

00:38:52you can have my services for nothing.

00:38:54You mean Mrs. Chelms is an unqualified liar?

00:38:57Well, let's say she uses her imagination rather than her memory.

00:39:01You will make a restitution with no, Mr. Dan,

00:39:04either the money or a new car.

00:39:06Why, you fat bandit, I gave you the car in the first place?

00:39:08How I came by it is beside the point.

00:39:12The fact you gave it to me doesn't make it any the less mine.

00:39:16Shut up!

00:39:17That's right.

00:39:18Threaten me.

00:39:19It is not enough that you destroy my beautiful car.

00:39:23Now you...

00:39:24My beautiful car!

00:39:26Stop!

00:39:28Stop!

00:39:29Stop!

00:39:30Stop!

00:39:31Stop!

00:39:32Stop!

00:39:33Stop!

00:39:34Stop!

00:39:35Stop!

00:39:36Stop!

00:39:37Stop!

00:39:38More than anything, I want Billy to make a grand success out there.

00:39:42Well, as you care so much about money.

00:39:45I should have thought you would have left Billy for some rich man.

00:39:49I shouldn't think Billy would mind, really.

00:39:51I mean, neither of you are in love or anything.

00:39:55You are a strange girl.

00:39:57Of course I love Billy.

00:39:59Actually, I adore him.

00:40:01And Billy loves me very, very, very much.

00:40:06That's why I trust him with his little unimportant amours.

00:40:10And what does he say about yours?

00:40:13But darling, all husbands like the wife to seem attractive to other men.

00:40:19Be sure you explain that to Harry.

00:40:24Hey Harry, I'm going back to the hotel.

00:40:33This is Dan Rather, Maria.

00:40:35I have, I'm afraid, I have some shocking news for you.

00:40:38The boat is not going at all?

00:40:40There's been a terrible accident.

00:40:42Your husband's car drove over a cliff.

00:40:44The people on the bus saw it fall into the sea.

00:40:47It seems almost certain that...

00:40:49What is it?

00:40:50What are you trying to say?

00:40:51He's saying that Billy is dead.

00:40:56It's become necessary to redistribute the stock in our company.

00:41:00Stock, stock.

00:41:01What good is the stock now?

00:41:03We can deal with Darada's friend.

00:41:06Not without Darada.

00:41:07All the effort, the money.

00:41:10Everything went over the cliff with that car.

00:41:13Ravello.

00:41:14You forget the English are very sentimental people.

00:41:16I tell you, there is nothing that Billy's friend will not do for his widow.

00:41:20And in black, she's a very touching figure.

00:41:26Poor Maria.

00:41:27You really have had a wretched time with her.

00:41:30You are very understanding.

00:41:33If only there was something I could do.

00:41:36Just know if you could bring me an aspirin.

00:41:39I have a headache.

00:41:41Don't move.

00:41:42Just you wait there.

00:41:43I'll be back in a moment.

00:41:46Mussolini, Hitler, and now Peterson.

00:41:50A great man.

00:41:51A great loss.

00:41:53I'm...

00:41:54I'm going upstairs and reading my Bible.

00:42:00Why all the clues?

00:42:03Maria has a headache.

00:42:04What's the matter with you?

00:42:05Go away.

00:42:06My dear gal, I'm sorry about Dan Rather as you are.

00:42:07But after all, it isn't as if he was one of our oldest friends.

00:42:08I was in love with him.

00:42:09He was a very pleasant acquaintance.

00:42:10What did you say?

00:42:11I was in love with him.

00:42:12Rarely, darling.

00:42:13Having no control over your romantic fantasies.

00:42:14I love it!

00:42:15Can't you hear me?

00:42:16I love you!

00:42:17I love you!

00:42:18I love you!

00:42:19I love you!

00:42:20Oh, rot!

00:42:21You're just dramatizing again.

00:42:22By George, you were right, after all.

00:42:25I did pack it.

00:42:26What should I do?

00:42:27I feel so I'm a lawyer.

00:42:30He's dead.

00:42:32He's dead!

00:42:33He's dead.

00:42:34He's dead.

00:42:36He's dead.

00:42:37Oh...

00:42:38What should I do?

00:42:43I feel so I'm a clown.

00:42:45He's dead.

00:42:47He's dead and I'm loved to the fool like you.

00:42:53I tell you what to do.

00:42:54Have a bit of shut eye.

00:42:55You'll wake up in an hour feeling your old self again.

00:42:57And there'll be no more silly stories about falling for a middle-aged roustabout.

00:43:01Is this so?

00:43:02Oh, please go away.

00:43:04I'll just take these to Maria.

00:43:05Oh, my God.

00:43:35What's the matter with all of you?

00:43:49Somebody dead?

00:43:51A car.

00:43:52It went over a cliff.

00:43:53We thought you'd both been killed.

00:43:55Dear brother, I'm delighted to see you're alive.

00:43:57But your wife is in a fainting condition.

00:43:59You mean you're not dead at all?

00:44:01Obviously, I'm not dead.

00:44:03I knew you weren't dead.

00:44:04I knew it.

00:44:04I counted 13 backwards 13 times.

00:44:07My old Spanish note said if you did that, a miracle would happen.

00:44:10And you see, it has.

00:44:12Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the glad tidings.

00:44:16The captain is sober and the SS Nyong'a will sail at midnight.

00:44:20Go!

00:44:21Go!

00:44:22Go!

00:44:23Go!

00:44:24Go!

00:44:25Go!

00:44:26Go!

00:44:27Go!

00:44:28Go!

00:44:29Go!

00:44:30Go!

00:44:31Go!

00:44:32Go!

00:44:33Go!

00:44:34Go!

00:44:35Go!

00:44:36Go!

00:44:37Go!

00:44:38Go!

00:44:39Go!

00:44:40Go!

00:44:41Go!

00:44:42Go!

00:44:43Go!

00:44:44Go!

00:44:45Go!

00:44:46Go!

00:44:47Go!

00:44:48Go!

00:44:49Go!

00:44:50Go!

00:44:51Go!

00:44:52Go!

00:44:53Go!

00:44:54Go!

00:44:56Look!

00:44:57Go!

00:44:58Go!

00:44:59Go!

00:45:05How did you say so?

00:45:07Let's see!

00:45:08Something.

00:45:09Put it in your cabin, whatever it is.

00:45:11Idiot!

00:45:13Why didn't he say so in the first place?

00:45:15Hey, look.

00:45:17What's happened to Harry training the Frick's Regime the Fish Eye.

00:45:21nerves were upset. Sort of delirium. He thought it quite a joke, the idea of my inventing a love

00:45:27affair with a middle-aged roustabout like you. That's what he called you. Well, now that I'm back

00:45:32in the flesh, you'll begin wondering about that delirium of yours. I suppose seeing you alive is

00:45:38different from thinking of you dead. Well, because Greg cooped up on that tub with his

00:45:42vicious husband. Billy. Let's not go. What do you mean? I'm asking you to run away with me. Now. What about the

00:46:03millions in hard currency? What's happened to you? I thought you were my shrewd little manager. I've

00:46:09changed my point of view. I thought we'd get to Africa and you'd make your fortune and everything

00:46:14be wonderful, but now I think it's all too risky. Too many things can happen. I want us to cut and run

00:46:20for it right now. You really mean that? With all my heart. Oh, no, that's impossible. Why? Well, for one

00:46:26thing, Mrs. Danreuther might not go for the idea. She's not quite as sophisticated as you are. Please,

00:46:31Billy, listen to me. I've thought it all out. We'll take the bus and catch an express or somewhere.

00:46:36Not the shots, not on the table. They're not in love the way I am. If I loved you a thousand

00:46:42times more than you say you love me, it still wouldn't make any difference. I've got to have

00:46:45money. Doctor's orders are that I must have a lot of money. Otherwise, I become dull, listless,

00:46:50and have trouble with my complexion. But you're not like that now, and you haven't any money.

00:46:54It's my expectations that hold me together. You really mean that, don't you, darling? Sure,

00:47:00I mean it. And your main reason for wanting lots of money is so that you'll be ever so attractive,

00:47:04and I'll love you more and more. That's right, baby. I'll help you, Billy. I can, too. I'm something

00:47:11of a witch. My old Spanish nurse said I could have been professional. Well, don't look now,

00:47:17but they're raising the gangway.

00:47:19What a pity we can't bottle it, gentlemen. What a fortune we'd make. Neptune's mixture. Now, breathe deeply. Remember every breath is a guinea in the bank of health.

00:47:24What a pity we can't bottle it, gentlemen. What a fortune we'd make. Neptune's mixture. Now, breathe deeply. Remember every breath is a guinea in the bank of health.

00:47:31Good morning, Chell. Why, that's good. Very good indeed. I didn't know you were an artist, Mrs. Dan Rather.

00:47:38I'd hardly call myself that. I only dabble. The nose is not enough long. The ears are too small.

00:47:45Only has one eye. Now, come along, Gettle. Now, come along, we must not dawddle.

00:47:50Blow the hands up, Billy. Blow the hands up. Blow the hands up. Blow, blow, blow the hands up.

00:47:56Blow, blow, blow the hands up. Blow, blow, blow the hands up.

00:48:02Blow and blow.

00:48:07Take a minute.

00:48:11Good morning, Mrs. Chelms!

00:48:16Let's hope she breaks her neck.

00:48:18Blow them down, bully, blow them down!

00:48:24Blow them down, bully, blow them down!

00:48:28Blow them down, bully, blow them down!

00:48:32Blow them down, bully, blow them down!

00:48:36Give me some time to blow them down!

00:48:39Mr. Patterson, Mr. Patterson, radiogram.

00:48:59No chalmers, Tate, Gloucestershire. Stop. No lend a gentry chalms.

00:49:05What do you make of that?

00:49:06He's not a Gloucestershire squire.

00:49:08Like Billy said.

00:49:09Just as I was beginning to take Billy at his face value.

00:49:12Yes, but if he's not what Billy said, then what is he?

00:49:16We are at sea again, gentlemen, in more ways than one.

00:49:19Mystery, more mystery.

00:49:21Billy is a liar. Heaven only knows what chalmers.

00:49:25C.I.D. maybe.

00:49:26You borrowed my thought.

00:49:27Walt Trudeau, Walt Trudeau.

00:49:29The time has come for direct action.

00:49:31You remember last night when we came on board?

00:49:34The fuss he was making about his dispatch box?

00:49:38I love colors. Working with them is an endless puzzle.

00:49:53Your face, for instance, ten minutes ago, it was all brown and pink.

00:49:59Now the light is changed, and it's chalky white.

00:50:04What?

00:50:05Tinged with green.

00:50:08Green?

00:50:09It must be getting rough.

00:50:13Just a little. Don't break the pose.

00:50:16I don't feel very well.

00:50:17I think I'll go below and take a pill.

00:50:18It's incredible.

00:50:19Harry Chelm is just...

00:50:20Just Harry Chelm?

00:50:21Nothing.

00:50:22Nobody.

00:50:23A ruddy refugee from Earl's Court.

00:50:24We'd hold a hold of bottle.

00:50:25Look.

00:50:26In the letter of introduction to the secretary of the governor.

00:50:27The secretary, mind you.

00:50:28Disgusting.

00:50:29Purser!

00:50:30My box.

00:50:31A bit up and down, isn't it, sir?

00:50:32It's gone.

00:50:33Oh, yes, indeed.

00:50:34Major Ross took it.

00:50:35I saw him sneak it out of your cabin.

00:50:36I like to keep my eye on what goes on about the ship.

00:50:37Why did he take it?

00:50:38I believe Mr. Peterson's cabin.

00:50:39In fact, I'm sure.

00:50:40I'm sure.

00:50:41I'm sure.

00:50:42Ah.

00:50:43And now may I ask what explanation you have to offer?

00:50:45No.

00:50:46No.

00:50:47No.

00:50:48No.

00:50:49No.

00:50:50No.

00:50:51No.

00:50:52No.

00:50:53No.

00:50:54No.

00:50:55No.

00:50:56No.

00:50:57No.

00:50:58No.

00:50:59No.

00:51:00No.

00:51:02No.

00:51:03No.

00:51:04No.

00:51:05No.

00:51:06No.

00:51:07No.

00:51:08No.

00:51:09No.

00:51:10No.

00:51:11No.

00:51:12No.

00:51:13No.

00:51:14No.

00:51:15No.

00:51:16No.

00:51:17No.

00:51:18No.

00:51:19No.

00:51:20No.

00:51:21No.

00:51:22No.

00:51:23No.

00:51:24No.

00:51:25No.

00:51:26No.

00:51:27No.

00:51:28No.

00:51:29No.

00:51:30No.

00:51:31No.

00:51:32No.

00:51:33No.

00:51:34No.

00:51:35No.

00:51:36No.

00:51:37No.

00:51:38No.

00:51:39No.

00:51:40No.

00:51:41Well, the poppycock you've been peddling, all that junk about the Chelm interest in London, uranium on your land.

00:51:47Well, in a way, you're the one to blame.

00:51:50I'm the...

00:51:50I mean, you acted so superior.

00:51:53I was falling in love with you, and I couldn't bear it for you to think I was just a nobody.

00:51:58Married to the son of a boarding house in Earl's Court.

00:52:01The son of a what?

00:52:03A boarding house.

00:52:05That's what Harry's parents do.

00:52:07They run a boarding house for decayed gentlefolk.

00:52:10Look, but the way he talks, the way he acts, I thought...

00:52:12It's just that he sees himself in a place in the West Country with trout streams and horses, leading the life of a country squire.

00:52:19It's not his fault if people take it for granted that he has a place like that.

00:52:23He's never once said that he had.

00:52:25Well, country gent, son of a boarding house, or whatever he is, I suppose I'd better get his box back.

00:52:29Oh, he got it back himself.

00:52:31Well, then there's no harm done.

00:52:32Except that Harry's gone to the captain.

00:52:34He's going to have them put in irons.

00:52:36He is what?

00:52:37He says that's what they did in the Royal Marines.

00:52:40Look, Herr Skipper, there's a perfectly simple explanation for all this.

00:52:44I happen to own a dispatch box which is very similar to Mr. Chelms.

00:52:47When I didn't find it in my cabin, I asked Major Ross to see if it had been stowed away somewhere else by mistake.

00:52:52The Major found what he thought was my box in the saloon with some other luggage.

00:52:56The box has been in my cabin ever since we sailed.

00:52:58Under the berth.

00:52:59As soon as I saw the box, of course, I realized at once that it wasn't mine.

00:53:03I simply opened it to find out to whom it belonged so that I could return it to its rightful owner.

00:53:07I can't conceive why this gentleman should imagine I should be interested in a box containing patent medicines.

00:53:13I'm not a hypochondriac.

00:53:16Purser, tell the captain exactly what you told me about the box.

00:53:20Why, sir, you asked me whether I'd seen it, and I said it might be the one I'd seen being carried along the passage by Major Ross.

00:53:26You distinctly told me that you'd seen it being taken from my cabin.

00:53:29Oh, you must have misunderstood.

00:53:32You were rather ill at the time, if you remember, sir.

00:53:35That's the old person.

00:53:36He's been bribed.

00:53:37He's in league with these criminals.

00:53:40Just a gaze of a misunderstanding.

00:53:42That's how I look at it.

00:53:43Now, what about a little cognac to wash away any ill feeling?

00:53:47I don't care for a drink.

00:53:48And let me assure you that this matter is far from settled.

00:53:51While righting through my personal effects, I feel certain that you must have noticed I had a letter of introduction to the secretary of the governor.

00:53:57I suspect he'll be much more interested in what I have to say than this gin-soaked so-called ship's captain.

00:54:01You mind, Dr. Ang?

00:54:03Can you mind, Charles?

00:54:04You're the one I put in my hands.

00:54:08As far as I'm concerned, this is a close incident.

00:54:16You've got your box back.

00:54:17Why don't you forget the whole thing?

00:54:19What possible interest do you expect the Colonial Office to take?

00:54:21On the contrary, I expect them to serve considerable interest in a gang of crooks who are trying to swindle the country out of vast uranium deposits.

00:54:27Just one moment, sir.

00:54:38What leads you to believe?

00:54:40This gentleman obviously hasn't seen fit to inform you that during your supposed demise, he attempted to lure me into your nefarious venture.

00:54:47Unfortunately for you, he acquainted me with all the pertinent facts.

00:54:50Facts which I intend to communicate to the proper authority at the very earliest opportunity.

00:54:54I thought you were dead.

00:54:58That's what they told me.

00:54:59Everyone told me you were dead.

00:55:01And if you were dead, we head to a fresh capital.

00:55:03Didn't we?

00:55:04You, Ravello, my own partner, sneak up behind my back and try to cheat me.

00:55:11The milk's spilt.

00:55:12It's no good crying over it.

00:55:13Get after him, Billy.

00:55:14Calm him down.

00:55:15Talk to him.

00:55:15See if you can't get him to change his attitude.

00:55:17I'll try, but I don't think it'll do any good.

00:55:19I don't know why we have to worry about Chelm's attitude.

00:55:22Talk's no good.

00:55:23Conversation never convinced anybody.

00:55:25I say put an end to words.

00:55:26Shut up, Jack.

00:55:27Time factor has entered the picture again.

00:55:29This time, fortunately, it's working on our side.

00:55:32Two weeks before we reach port.

00:55:34That should be plenty of time to convince our friend, Chelm.

00:55:37I beg you.

00:55:39Please end all this trouble.

00:55:41If things go on, either you will be done away with before we ever get to Africa,

00:55:46or you will leave and denounce Peterson to the authorities,

00:55:48and that will be the ruin of all my plans and hopes.

00:55:52In the long run, you'll do much better to get care of these people.

00:55:55They're thoroughly undesirable.

00:55:56The long run.

00:55:57I'm tired of the long run.

00:56:00I am not even thinking about them or about myself.

00:56:04It's only you that concerns me, Harry.

00:56:07No need to worry about me.

00:56:09Ever since I met you, you feel my thinking.

00:56:13You are becoming an obsession.

00:56:15Don't you understand, Harry?

00:56:19I am deeply in love.

00:56:23Maria.

00:56:26My dear.

00:56:27Only you could make a woman feel like this.

00:56:44All I want is to be in your arms now and always.

00:56:49You forget I'm going to be done away with.

00:56:51Oh, no, no.

00:56:52It will be easy to arrange.

00:56:53What you must do is this.

00:56:55You will write me a letter.

00:56:57A love letter.

00:56:59You will tell me that you cannot denounce Peterson,

00:57:01because then I will suffer too.

00:57:04Because you love me so much, you cannot bear to hurt me.

00:57:10Such a letter they will believe if I show it to them.

00:57:12My dear girl, you must see that this is quite out of the question.

00:57:16I don't propose to make compromises.

00:57:18Not compromises, Harry, darling.

00:57:21But you can see if you cause trouble the whole of our plans,

00:57:24my plans,

00:57:26you would not want to make the innocent suffer.

00:57:32It would be much better if you don't interfere, Maria.

00:57:34I must handle this as I see fit.

00:57:36Then you intend to go ahead with this business,

00:57:39tell stories and ruin everything.

00:57:41It would be much better if you cut loose from these people.

00:57:43No happiness can come from such an association.

00:57:45Harry, I'm asking you not to do this.

00:57:48Please, write a letter.

00:57:50Then there will be no trouble for you,

00:57:51no trouble for us,

00:57:52no risk when we get to Africa.

00:57:55I'm sorry, my dear.

00:57:56We English are a very pink-headed lot.

00:57:58You think you can get away with this?

00:58:00But Maria, my dear good Maria, listen.

00:58:02First you made love to me.

00:58:04Now you tell me you will ruin me.

00:58:06You'll forgive me, but it was you who made...

00:58:08Oh, shut your trap.

00:58:09Go on, do what you like.

00:58:11You think you're such a brave man.

00:58:13I'll tell you what you are.

00:58:15You are a heel.

00:58:19What the blazes now?

00:58:21What's happening?

00:58:21What's going on here?

00:58:22The arm pumps on the blimp.

00:58:24The electricity's failed.

00:58:25Shut up.

00:58:25Ollie, a ship lying in darkness this way?

00:58:27We might well be rammed at any minute.

00:58:29I'll tend to this myself.

00:58:30Which way is the engine room?

00:58:31The passengers are not...

00:58:32I'm sure your chief engineer will work in the advice of an ex-officer of the Royal Marines.

00:58:38Look here, you fool.

00:58:52Are we simply abandoned to our fate?

00:58:54I insist on something being done.

00:58:55For instance?

00:58:56Give out the life belts.

00:58:57Organize the boat drill.

00:58:59The clientele are requested to remain calm.

00:59:02To remain calm?

00:59:02Does the captain feel no central responsibility for the lives of his passengers?

00:59:06It's my opinion that the captain doesn't feel much of anything at the moment.

00:59:09Do you mean to say he's drunk?

00:59:11The fellow ought to be made to walk the tank.

00:59:13I'm afraid just now he cannot walk at all.

00:59:15This is outrageous.

00:59:16Just hang on, old man.

00:59:16What have you got to worry about?

00:59:18We're only adrift in an open sea with a drunken captain and engine that's liable to explode

00:59:22at any moment.

00:59:23It's a perfectly ordinary situation.

00:59:25Happens every day.

00:59:26But just in case any of you are still at all anxious, let it be known that Mr. Chelm has

00:59:31taken charge in the engine room.

00:59:33He's taken charge?

00:59:35Harry, and he'll fool it for sure.

00:59:37Shall I get out the hymn books?

00:59:39Your husband claims to have learned all about the engine and such things when he was an

00:59:44officer in the Royal Marines.

00:59:45If he ever was.

00:59:47In point of fact, not only was he an officer, but he once won a medal for jumping into a

00:59:51sea of fire to rescue someone.

00:59:53It's only a bit of wreckage and not a man, but that wasn't Harry's fault.

00:59:57Cut the slight error in judgment.

01:00:01Oh, the lights, they come on.

01:00:04He must have fixed it.

01:00:06Impossible.

01:00:06The engines are turning.

01:00:07We are underway.

01:00:09I still say it's impossible.

01:00:13Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention for a moment?

01:00:16I'm happy to inform you that the oil pump is now in perfect working condition.

01:00:20Putting it right was no great accomplishment for anyone with the slightest mechanical bent.

01:00:23Anyhow, we may now proceed without further delay and in absolute safety.

01:00:29Oh, Harry, you did, you did.

01:00:31You boozled it.

01:00:32What did you wreck my ship?

01:00:34Where is it?

01:00:35I'm out of yourself.

01:00:36I'm forwarding to you.

01:00:37Captain wants to see you.

01:00:39There you are.

01:00:40You devil.

01:00:41You wreck my beautiful ship.

01:00:42Nothing of the sort.

01:00:43Some scary wag down there sabotaged my work out of pure marys.

01:00:47You splod my head.

01:00:48Keep your head.

01:00:49All right, let's roll back.

01:00:50All right, let's roll back.

01:00:50All right, little gentlemen.

01:00:51We must stay out of this, Dan.

01:00:52I can handle the broochers.

01:00:54Oh, stop it, sir.

01:00:55Now, do we get the life of best?

01:00:58Do we abandon the ship?

01:01:00There's no immediate danger.

01:01:02The passengers were pleased to return to the saloon.

01:01:04We're heading for the nearest port, and there seems to be some chance of our making.

01:01:08All right.

01:01:09Let's go.

01:01:10All right.

01:01:10Come along.

01:01:14Now, who was last down?

01:01:19Last.

01:01:24Billy boy, be a good fellow and make a fourth of the bridge.

01:01:26The major has no head for cards.

01:01:28A few rubbers will soothe all our nerves.

01:01:31Oh, thank you.

01:01:31I'll soothe mine with a double scotch.

01:01:33In fact, I think I'll make it a triple.

01:01:34No ice, no water.

01:01:35All right, sir.

01:01:36How about you, dear Mrs. Thiatrubber?

01:01:38A little bridge?

01:01:39Oh, so sorry.

01:01:40I have the most fearful headache.

01:01:43I think I'll go to my cabin.

01:01:48Oh, what a shame.

01:01:49Well, boys, we'll have to make him cutthroat.

01:01:51What about Harry here?

01:01:52Maybe he'll take a hand.

01:01:54That, under the circumstances, is a most unsuitable suggestion.

01:01:57Gwendolyn, I must ask you to either move to another table or else leave the stove.

01:02:01Oh, Harry, for heaven's sake.

01:02:03I don't care for my wife to associate with an associate of criminals.

01:02:06Don't be absurd.

01:02:07Billy's not a criminal.

01:02:08He's the best friend we have on this boat.

01:02:11We're not in need of such friends.

01:02:12You need any friends you can get.

01:02:14The only thing standing between you and a watery grave is your wits.

01:02:18That's not my idea of adequate protection.

01:02:20Purser, how much longer before this ship reaches port?

01:02:23If we ever do get to port, it should be within 14 or 15 hours.

01:02:27That's a long time.

01:02:28Sit down.

01:02:29Make yourself comfortable.

01:02:30Have a drink.

01:02:31Enjoy the Major's piano recital.

01:02:34Come on, Peterson.

01:02:35Buy us a drink.

01:02:36I'm afraid I can't accept hospitality from persons who I intend in a few hours' time

01:02:39to denounce in a place of justice.

01:02:42Two spades.

01:02:43I admire your sans-froid, Mr. Peterson.

01:02:46Or perhaps you don't think I'm serious.

01:02:48We shall see.

01:02:50Sweet clubs.

01:02:53Gwendolyn, how are you going to do as I say?

01:02:54Not when you speak to me in that tone.

01:02:56Not when you try to order me about.

01:02:58In that case...

01:02:59Where are you going?

01:03:01On deck where the air is less polluted.

01:03:02Not when you're going to do as I say to you.

01:03:10I think you'd better go after Harry.

01:03:12Why should I?

01:03:14If he's going to be so childish and unreasonable.

01:03:16Take my advice, go to him.

01:03:17Stay with him.

01:03:19I suppose you think we should keep up appearances.

01:03:22The loyal wife at her husband's side.

01:03:24No, Billy.

01:03:26I'm experiencing something that is rare and beautiful.

01:03:29Thou shall not deny it.

01:03:30Either by word or by deed.

01:03:32I love you.

01:03:33Let the whole world know it.

01:03:34I love you.

01:03:35I love you.

01:03:36Keeping up appearances isn't exactly what I meant.

01:03:39Then why do you want to send me tagging after Harry?

01:03:41He's being such a deadly bore tonight.

01:03:43Deadly, but not dead.

01:03:44Not yet.

01:03:45What do you mean?

01:03:46They killed one man just because they thought he might try to get in their way.

01:03:50Now, handsome Harry here is certain to blow the whole thing wide open.

01:03:53They killed a man?

01:03:55Really?

01:03:56Who?

01:03:57Just a man.

01:04:00Well, for all Harry's being too, too tiresome and my loving you to distraction, I still wouldn't

01:04:07want to see him done in.

01:04:08He has some perfectly darling traits, really.

01:04:10I mean, like always remembering one's birthday.

01:04:14No, we simply mustn't let anybody murder Harry.

01:04:16Deadly, keep him in your cabin.

01:04:18Never let him out of your sight.

01:04:19Keep him under lock and key.

01:04:22Oh, Billy, that awful music.

01:04:25It's so loud.

01:04:26It comes right into our cabin.

01:04:28Peterson, tell the night he just saw Pedal It.

01:04:32And while he's about it, he might change the tune.

01:04:34Oh, don't you like it?

01:04:35It's one of my favorites.

01:04:36I'm afraid he doesn't know any others.

01:04:38Do you, Jack?

01:04:40Major!

01:05:10Do I hear the lady screaming?

01:05:22One down.

01:05:27Captain!

01:05:28Captain!

01:05:29Captain!

01:05:29What happened?

01:05:46Oh, Billy, all that screaming as if someone had been killed.

01:05:49Someone nearly was.

01:05:50Indeed they were.

01:05:50Look at the Major.

01:05:51Better get a new act.

01:05:52There's in the curtain going down on this one.

01:05:53Every time I turn my back, someone makes trouble.

01:05:56The passengers break the engine.

01:05:57They beat each other to feed.

01:05:58They throw each other overboard.

01:06:00That man attacked me.

01:06:01Ah, you!

01:06:02You again!

01:06:03If I struck him, it was in self-defense.

01:06:05He came sneaking up behind me and tried to run me through with his sword.

01:06:07Is that true?

01:06:08Well.

01:06:09It's no use, Billy.

01:06:11Am I trying to protect Harry any further?

01:06:13I may as well tell the whole truth.

01:06:16Captain, it grieves me to confess this, but in point of fact, my husband has an illness

01:06:22of the mind.

01:06:24The medical word for it is paranoia.

01:06:27On occasion, he displays homicidal tendencies.

01:06:30The psychiatrists say it's because he believes people are plotting against him.

01:06:35And so he strikes back and tries to kill them.

01:06:37Grendelyn, for heaven's sake, woman, what's the meaning of this treachery?

01:06:41Believe it or not, Harry, I'm doing it for your own good.

01:06:44He knows.

01:06:45He saved my life.

01:06:46He'll tell the truth.

01:06:47I wouldn't contradict the lady.

01:06:48You're acting machine.

01:06:49You're trying to kill the passengers.

01:06:51But I know you're saying personal.

01:06:52That's why you're against me.

01:06:54Let me go.

01:06:55I'll kill the other people.

01:06:56I've warned you, Captain.

01:06:58Poor Harry.

01:06:59He's awfully sad.

01:07:00We've tried everything to cure him.

01:07:02Take your hooligans off.

01:07:03I don't understand.

01:07:04How dare you lay hands on me, you hooligans?

01:07:07I'll have you put in arms.

01:07:08You'll be the ones in arms.

01:07:10Good, good.

01:07:11We'll hear no trouble from you.

01:07:15Scum, mongrels.

01:07:17I'll bring you to book.

01:07:18Every one of you.

01:07:19Every man jack of you.

01:07:23After all, it was the only solution.

01:07:26Harry's safely locked in his cabin where those beastly men can't do him any harm.

01:07:30On the other hand, he can't say or do anything now to interfere with your making that fortune in Africa.

01:07:35I mean, the authorities would hardly listen to the ravings of a lunatic, would they?

01:07:40Well, they won't even let him off the boat.

01:07:41Well, in that case, he'll just have to stay shut up for a few weeks.

01:07:46It's a bit hard on the old boy, don't you think?

01:07:48Yes, but after you've amassed all those African millions, we'll make it up to him.

01:07:54We'll buy him a country place in Gloucestershire with some rough shooting and a trout stream like he's always wanted.

01:08:02Maria will marry him, perhaps.

01:08:05She seems to have a very real feeling for English country life.

01:08:09And everybody lives happily ever after.

01:08:12Especially us, Billy.

01:08:15What's going on?

01:08:18I believe, sir, that we're sinking.

01:08:20What?

01:08:21Especially everybody.

01:08:22Lord, you're likely.

01:08:23We're sinking.

01:08:26Harry!

01:08:26Harry, open the door!

01:08:29You must!

01:08:29The ship's sinking!

01:08:30Come on!

01:08:31Harry!

01:08:32The ship!

01:08:33What?

01:08:40You're going on!

01:08:43Time!

01:08:50The ship!

01:08:53The ship!

01:08:56Twitter!

01:08:56Where are you now?!

01:08:58You embassied!

01:08:59You're on!

01:09:00Are you attend to!

01:09:02You're here that you, you're on it!

01:09:04You're on the way down on the street!

01:09:06You embassied!

01:09:07You're on!

01:09:08You're on!

01:09:10Go forwards!

01:09:12The bar and fun is you!

01:09:14...on the body!

01:09:16The bar and fun!

01:09:17You, you!

01:09:20Get in the way!

01:09:25We can't. We simply can't leave without finding out what's happened to her.

01:09:55We will run across him out there. He's a strong swimmer, isn't he?

01:09:59I don't say we will, but it's possible, anything possible.

01:10:15Harry!

01:10:22Harry!

01:10:25Harry!

01:10:26Harry!

01:10:27Harry!

01:10:28Harry!

01:10:29Harry!

01:10:30Harry!

01:11:26Harry!

01:11:27Harry!

01:11:28Harry!

01:11:29Harry!

01:11:30Let's see.

01:12:00Hold on.

01:12:02Hold on.

01:12:04Hold on.

01:12:06Hold on.

01:12:08Let's move this man.

01:12:10Let's move this man.

01:12:12Ah!

01:12:14Ah!

01:12:16Alia, what's that?

01:12:18It was a company that sold arms to the Arab Legions.

01:12:20Wait a minute. That rings a bell.

01:12:22Some of the equipment we sold

01:12:24that was defective.

01:12:26Been too long under the water

01:12:28in the Gulf of Leyte.

01:12:30They claim they lost the war because of rusty guns

01:12:32and dud ammunition.

01:12:34If you go on like that, I'll be...

01:12:36I'll see you drawn and quartered.

01:12:38He got a good eye on me then.

01:12:40Who wants the air to go on?

01:12:42Come on.

01:12:44Get out of here.

01:12:46Get out of here.

01:12:48Go on.

01:12:50Get out of there.

01:12:52Get out of here.

01:12:54Come on.

01:12:55Come on.

01:12:56Come on.

01:12:58Are you going to allow them to bully you in this way?

01:13:00Why, it's simply...

01:13:02Shocking.

01:13:03Harry wouldn't have let them do it.

01:13:05He had a sense of dignity.

01:13:07I have a sense of survival.

01:13:09Billy, what is going to happen?

01:13:11Do you think they will torture us?

01:13:13Just let them try it.

01:13:15I'm a British subject.

01:13:17I wouldn't say it too loud.

01:13:28We shipwreck.

01:13:41Big boat go down.

01:13:44Bottom ocean.

01:13:46We take little boat.

01:13:49Row all day.

01:13:52Row all night.

01:13:54There's only one way to deal with these swine.

01:13:57Walk up to them and kick them in the belly.

01:13:59Show them who's boss right away.

01:14:01We sight land.

01:14:03Your land.

01:14:04Praise Allah.

01:14:06Come ashore.

01:14:08Suddenly, boom, boom, boom.

01:14:11No good way to treat shipwrecked people.

01:14:14You will please to hand over your passports.

01:14:27There seem to be four missing.

01:14:37Will those who have a knot handed over their passports hold up their hands?

01:14:42All left on board ship, Your Excellency.

01:14:51A terrifying experience.

01:14:53An incompetent crew.

01:14:54A burning ship.

01:14:55Put overboard in a small boat at dead of night.

01:14:58What was the name of the vessel?

01:15:00The SS Nyanga.

01:15:01She's a Portuguese ship.

01:15:02I will investigate whether such a ship has been reported lost at sea.

01:15:06Well, does it stand to reason, Your Excellency, we should come to this shore in a small boat if we'd not been shipwrecked?

01:15:12Our country is in a state of unrest.

01:15:15Oh, I am sorry.

01:15:16Agents of certain foreign governments sometimes try to enter it by stealth, hoping to fan the flames of revolution.

01:15:25Therefore, we track carefully on the activities of strangers.

01:15:31Surely, Your Excellency, in our case, one look is sufficient to convince you of our innocence.

01:15:36No.

01:15:53One look is not enough.

01:15:58If you think we're the enemies of your country, the logical thing is to boot us out.

01:16:05Send us packing by the first available boat or train.

01:16:09We shan't object.

01:16:10We've got important business elsewhere.

01:16:12Where is elsewhere?

01:16:14Central Africa.

01:16:16And what sort of business?

01:16:18Vacuum cleaners.

01:16:20Sewing machines.

01:16:21Ah, yes.

01:16:23Businessmen.

01:16:24All going to Central Africa to sell vacuum cleaners.

01:16:28Hut to hut, I suppose.

01:16:31And you, sir, I take it out of the head, sailor's man.

01:16:34The ringleader of his group.

01:16:37Oh, no, no group.

01:16:39We met for the first time on board ship.

01:16:42Complete strangers to one another.

01:16:44Liar!

01:16:45The others all look at you each time I ask a question.

01:16:48I am a keen observer.

01:16:50You four are together.

01:16:51Oh, no, my fat gutted friend.

01:16:52I'm not the illiterate, simple-minded native you're fool enough to take me for.

01:16:57I am a great man.

01:16:58A serious man.

01:16:59I spit on you, too.

01:17:00I spit on you and all your life.

01:17:01Off to the wrong side, Peterson.

01:17:02There's only one way to deal with these spines!

01:17:03Spines!

01:17:04Spines!

01:17:05Spines!

01:17:06You'd better be careful.

01:17:07My husband, my late husband, who was drowned in the Niagara disaster, happened to be one

01:17:20of the most important figures in the British government, Sir Harry Chelm.

01:17:23In point of fact, we had letters from the Prime Minister and the Queen telling everybody

01:17:28to be particularly courteous to us and our friends.

01:17:31So you see, if any harm befalls us at your hands, it will become a major international incident.

01:17:37Would you instruct that one, that in my country a female's lips may move, but her words are not hurt?

01:17:46Oh, Harry.

01:17:47Harry.

01:17:48If only you were here.

01:17:52And now, sir, you will stop abusing my intelligence and tell me who you really are and what is your

01:18:01actual purpose in being here.

01:18:03I'm a sick man.

01:18:04I've got a bad heart.

01:18:05I mustn't talk anymore.

01:18:06You refuse to answer.

01:18:08That is interesting.

01:18:09It makes of it a contest.

01:18:11A contest in a game at which we excel.

01:18:15We of this country have had 4,000 years' experience in asking questions and getting answers.

01:18:24Who are you?

01:18:25Why are you here?

01:18:27Here.

01:18:28Don't hit me again.

01:18:29My heart.

01:18:30I have an attack.

01:18:32You've got an attack.

01:18:33Leave you, then.

01:18:34Stop it.

01:18:35You've got to.

01:18:36No doubt.

01:18:37No doubt.

01:18:38No doubt.

01:18:39No doubt.

01:18:40No doubt.

01:18:41No doubt.

01:18:42No doubt.

01:18:43No doubt.

01:18:44No doubt.

01:18:45Of course, Billy has led a thoroughly decadent life.

01:18:48Must say, I thought he had more backbone than that.

01:18:50Backbone.

01:18:51Either you have it or you haven't.

01:18:53Do you see the beating I took at the hands of that great ugly brute without even flinching?

01:18:58Billy was crazed with fear before the evening laid a finger.

01:19:01You know what?

01:19:02You know what?

01:19:03You know what?

01:19:04You know what?

01:19:05You know what?

01:19:06You know what?

01:19:07You know what?

01:19:08You know what?

01:19:09You know what?

01:19:10You know what?

01:19:11You know what?

01:19:12Billy was crazed with fear before the evening laid a finger on him.

01:19:17Tell me more about Rita Hayworth.

01:19:20You really know her very well?

01:19:22Do I know Rita?

01:19:23Do I know her?

01:19:25I'll give you a letter of introduction.

01:19:27She'll fall an immediate victim to your charms.

01:19:29You really think so?

01:19:31Oh, but certainly a man like you.

01:19:33Suave, intelligent, darkly handsome.

01:19:37You have everything, Ahmed, except money.

01:19:40And if you'll listen to me, a boat will be placed at our disposal, a very slow boat, so that Fatgut's check will have plenty of time to clear.

01:19:48And you will trust me for your share?

01:19:51Does one man of the world ask another to trust his own brother?

01:19:55Oh, no, Ahmed.

01:19:57You'll give me a check for half.

01:19:59Your demands are very great under the circumstances.

01:20:03Why shouldn't they be?

01:20:04Fatgut's my best friend.

01:20:06I will not betray him cheaply.

01:20:08You are certain that you are the friend of the peerless Rita?

01:20:11Come, come, Ahmed.

01:20:12I am back to business.

01:20:15Very well.

01:20:16Fifty-fifty.

01:20:17Oh, uh, by the way, Fatgut's nature is noble like ours.

01:20:21You might try to bargain.

01:20:23I do not bargain with a puff ball like that.

01:20:25It's beneath my dignity.

01:20:27It'll be dawn soon.

01:20:29The correct hour for a firing squad.

01:20:32But if we have him shot, what about the man?

01:20:35Well, I was just thinking that if he had a volley at the psychological moment,

01:20:39he might not be so inclined to haggle.

01:20:42I believe you must have Arab blood.

01:20:45Westerners are not usually so subtle.

01:20:48Look, how am I?

01:20:49Look, how am I?

01:20:50Ah!

01:20:51Where are you taking me?

01:20:52I won't go.

01:20:53I demand to see a doctor.

01:20:54Would you say that in Paris, among smart people, the Rolls-Royce of the Cadillac is considered

01:20:55more chic.

01:20:56That's no problem.

01:20:57No problem at all.

01:20:58A man in your position should have both.

01:21:00Ah, don't you get that.

01:21:01There's no problem.

01:21:03I beg your pardon, but it's so creepy.

01:21:04I'll do it.

01:21:06I'll do it.

01:21:07He is a genius.

01:21:08I'll do it.

01:21:09He's a fan.

01:21:10I'll do it.

01:21:11You look, how am I?

01:21:12You look, how am I?

01:21:13Look, how am I?

01:21:14Ah!

01:21:16Where are you taking me?

01:21:17I won't go.

01:21:18I demand to see a doctor.

01:21:20Would you say that in Paris, among smart people, the Rolls-Royce, or the Cadillac,

01:21:23Mr. Dunderather, I believe, would like a word with you.

01:21:27Billy.

01:21:28Go down, Peterson.

01:21:30Ah, I've been talking to Ahmed here, and, uh, he's made the bomb.

01:21:34Come on.

01:21:35Come on.

01:21:36Come on.

01:21:37Come on.

01:21:38Come on.

01:21:39Come on.

01:21:40Come on.

01:21:41Come on.

01:21:42Come on.

01:21:43Come on.

01:21:44Come on.

01:21:45Come on.

01:21:46Come on.

01:21:47Come on.

01:21:48Come on.

01:21:49Come on.

01:21:50Come on.

01:21:51Oh no.

01:21:52Shhh.

01:21:53Come on.

01:21:54He's blackmailing.

01:21:55I can't pay.

01:21:56It's blackmailing.

01:21:58I can't pay.

01:21:59And the car!

01:22:00It's pensioners!

01:22:01What's that?

01:22:03Fire is what.

01:22:04It's execution day.

01:22:07Will he take a check?

01:22:10Come on.

01:22:11Come on.

01:22:12We'll see you.

01:22:13Have a good check.

01:22:14Let's go.

01:22:44Billy!

01:22:45No!

01:22:46Zidang!

01:22:52Stay away!

01:22:53Stay away from my ship!

01:22:55If you try to come aboard, I will shoot you!

01:22:58I will shoot you!

01:22:59Get to my gun!

01:23:00Get to my gun!

01:23:02Give it to him.

01:23:03Maybe he'll shoot himself.

01:23:05My gun!

01:23:06My gun!

01:23:14Excuse me.

01:23:15Are you Mr. William Danruther?

01:23:16That's right.

01:23:17I'd like to ask you a few questions, if I may.

01:23:18I'm sorry.

01:23:19Not now.

01:23:20Forgive me, but it's rather important.

01:23:21Yes, it always is.

01:23:22I was a newspaper man myself once.

01:23:23Well, you may quote me as saying that everybody was heroic except Mr. Danruther, who weighed

01:23:25all our boots.

01:23:26Very amusing, but I'm not a reporter.

01:23:27Oh?

01:23:28Jack.

01:23:29Go to the phone, make reservations.

01:23:30The first plane to Nairobi, six seats.

01:23:31Yes, and if they don't have any talk to the right man and tell him if he kicks out of

01:23:36people off the plane, we'll make it worth his while.

01:23:37I always said we ought to take a plane.

01:23:38Do you remember I said that Mr. Horro?

01:23:39I said we ought to take a plane.

01:23:40I said we ought to take a plane.

01:23:41I said we ought to take a plane.

01:23:42I said we ought to take a plane.

01:23:43That's not normal.

01:23:44We're not normal.

01:23:45No, no, no.

01:23:46I'm not normal.

01:23:47No, no, no, no.

01:23:48No, no, no.

01:23:49No, no, no.

01:23:50No, no, no, no.

01:23:51No, no, no, no.

01:23:52No, no.

01:23:53No, no, no, no.

01:23:54I said we ought to take a plane.

01:23:55Do you remember I said that, Mr. Horro?

01:23:57I said we ought to take a plane.

01:23:58That's normal, Billy boy.

01:23:59Great deal to do.

01:24:00Not much time.

01:24:01Those of the other members of your party?

01:24:02Yes.

01:24:03I'd like to talk with them, too.

01:24:04Well, what's it all about?

01:24:06I believe you were acquainted with a Mr. Van Muir, now deceased.

01:24:12Peterson, you and the boys better come back down.

01:24:14The gentleman here wants to speak to you.

01:24:16A Mr. Jack Clayton of Scotland Yard.

01:24:19You think your wine here or upstairs, Mr. Dunn?

01:24:21No, we'll have it here.

01:24:22Care to join us in a drink, Clayton?

01:24:24No, thanks.

01:24:25It's a bit early in the day for me.

01:24:26I read somewhere that a Scotland Yard man never accepts a drink from anyone he intends to arrest.

01:24:31Is that true, Mr. Clayton?

01:24:32Quite so.

01:24:33Mrs. Dunruther?

01:24:34No, I'm Mrs. Chelm.

01:24:36This is Mrs. Dunruther.

01:24:38Oh, how do you do?

01:24:39Well, I wouldn't dream of alarming you lovely ladies.

01:24:42So perhaps I'll have a glass of lovely after all.

01:24:45Peterson, how do you do, sir?

01:24:47How do you do, sir?

01:24:48Bravo.

01:24:49And Mr. O'Hara, Julius O'Hara, if you like it.

01:24:54No, I'm the one to be delighted.

01:24:56It had begun to look as though I'd never catch up with you people.

01:24:59That would have been a bit embarrassing.

01:25:01You see, this is the first time I've ever been abroad on an investigation.

01:25:04I've spent quite a lot of money.

01:25:06And my chief can be very sarcastic about the money one spends.

01:25:10Particularly if you fail to deliver the goods.

01:25:12Mr. Clayton is presently interested in the Van Muir murder case.

01:25:16The Van Muir murder case?

01:25:18Oh, yes, yes.

01:25:19That fellow in the colonial office.

01:25:21Yes, I read about that in the paper.

01:25:22It was a shocking affair.

01:25:24According to Mr. Van Muir's appointment book, Mr. Peterson,

01:25:27you had lunch with him at the Savoy a few days before his death.

01:25:30That's quite correct.

01:25:31Mr. Van Muir was expert on African matters.

01:25:34We wanted his advice about affairs in British East.

01:25:37Do you recall the subject under discussion?

01:25:39Vaguely.

01:25:40Croppy or the native labor situation.

01:25:43Inches of rain.

01:25:45Shorts.

01:25:47How long do you know, Mr. Van Muir?

01:25:49Oh, a couple of months.

01:25:50We met half a dozen times.

01:25:51Did he ever make mention of any enemies?

01:25:53Business or otherwise?

01:25:54Did he say anything about romantic attachments?

01:25:56I mean, did he name any women?

01:25:58No.

01:25:59I should have been very surprised if he had done.

01:26:01Mr. Van Muir struck me as being every inch a gentleman.

01:26:04Oh, of course, of course.

01:26:06Well, that's all.

01:26:08Unless somebody has anything further to add.

01:26:11I have.

01:26:17I think you ought to know

01:26:18that the business of one of these businessmen is murder.

01:26:21I beg your pardon?

01:26:24Major Ross, I mean.

01:26:27I can't guarantee Major Ross murdered this Van Muir person.

01:26:30I assure you, however, he attempted to murder my husband

01:26:33with a long, thin dagger, which he always carried about

01:26:36in what looked like an innocent swagger stick.

01:26:39Go on, Mrs. Cho.

01:26:40You see, Major Ross is employed by Mr. Peterson there

01:26:44to do his dirty work.

01:26:46One might say he's a professional killer.

01:26:48My husband found out certain things about Mr. Peterson.

01:26:51Things in point of fact that are a matter of empire,

01:26:54involving, as they do, a plot to exploit our kingdom's

01:26:57uranium resources.

01:26:58And that's why Mr. Peterson decided to have him done away with it.

01:27:01Don't run away, Mr. Peterson.

01:27:03That's always tantamount to a confession of guilt.

01:27:06Tantamount is what I call it.

01:27:08More champagne, Clayton?

01:27:10No, thank you.

01:27:29As I said before, very smart fellows indeed.

01:27:33Should you ever think of me in Earl's court?

01:27:38That's where I'll be, helping Harry's parents with the lodges.

01:27:42Should you ever think of me?

01:27:44Try not to let it be too harshly.

01:27:48You give her to Billy and tell her she's forgiven.

01:27:52Sure, sure.

01:27:54Goodbye, dear.

01:27:55Bye.

01:27:56Poor Mrs. Chelm just came on the ship's wireless.

01:28:05Oh, by the way, Mr. Dannerada,

01:28:07do you know that your associates are all in whose gown?

01:28:11Oh, not that I'm a bit surprised.

01:28:13I put them down as thoroughly bad characters, right off the bat.

01:28:17But then there are so many bad characters nowadays.

01:28:20Take mine, for instance.

01:28:22Hey!

01:28:24He's alive!

01:28:38Oh!

01:28:40Oh, this is the end.

01:29:10The end.
