06:49Oh, those little islands, perfect for almost anything at all.
06:56How's the hand?
06:59Terrible.
07:01But the eyes are having a great time.
07:03They're staring.
07:05They like faces, particularly pretty faces.
07:10Faces.
07:13Good shots.
07:16I knew I'd seen that face somewhere before.
07:18Come on, pull in.
07:19What?
07:20Come on, pull in.
07:28Right, wait here.
07:48What?

07:50What?
07:51What?
07:53What?
07:54What?
08:25Hold it!
08:55Some picnic.
09:02I see the table's laid for more than one.
09:10Right hand.
09:17Come on!
09:25Right.
09:27Right.
09:52You're always open for business.
09:53Come on.
09:54Back to the car.
09:55Come on.
09:56Get in.
09:57I'll explain later.
09:58He's expecting company.
09:59And about one's all I can handle.
10:01Right.
10:02Here we go.
10:30Ingo!
10:31Ingo!
10:32Ingo!
10:33All right.
10:34Move.
10:35It's all in as quick as you can.
10:37Now let's go.
10:45Now let's go.
10:47Now let's go.
10:50There's the boat.
11:20The car park.
11:39For God's sake!
11:43He's a bomber, a killer.
11:45He's also a human being.
11:46Yes, well, I'll be more human when we get back to the car.
11:50The car is building up for the car.
11:55That is the fault.
11:57All the cars like that are running away.
11:59This is the one.
12:01It's off.
12:02You're a bad guy.
12:03You're a bad guy.
12:05You're a bad guy.
12:05You're a bad guy.
12:07But no one is coming.
12:09They've out thought us.
12:39Hans!
13:07I will take that one.
13:27You'll have to drive.
13:30Okay.
13:37No, you've got to hit Mark.
13:45Stay behind me.
13:48Keep calm, Julie.
13:50Right.
13:52Close the turret.
13:53What?
13:53The boot.
13:54Close it.
13:56Right, get in.
13:58Open the door.
13:59Right.
14:01Move.
14:02Hey, hey!
14:32They're gaining on us.
14:34A warning shot.
14:43I'm not an animal.
14:44Shut up.
14:45Watch out.
15:04The boat!
15:04The boat!
15:04Turn in there.
15:29Turn it around!
15:30Turn it around!
15:34Turn it around!
16:04What's the house you like, Julie?
16:22Nearest town is six miles.
16:24We won't make it.
16:28Pull off there!
16:34Right, that way. Come on.
16:56The dammed, the mist! Up there! That road!
17:04Take your choice. You can walk, or I'll pistol with you and carry it.
17:31That way.
17:37Move the doors!
18:07Don't be frightened.
18:08I'm not frightened.
18:12What is all this? Who are you?
18:16CI5, sir.
18:18I take it you believe in free speech?
18:20What?
18:21I want to use your phone.
18:22It's through there.
18:24All right, come on.
18:24Stop me again, boy.
18:33He's a bomber.
18:35A killer.
18:36And there are more outside.
18:37Coddy.
18:49Coddy.
18:49Coddy.
18:52Coddy.
18:52Hi, I've got one of those faces.
18:55One of those faces, uh, on your board.
18:57Meyer Helmut.
18:58Who?
18:58Which one?
18:59I don't know.
19:00This, uh, fellow's about 6'2".
19:02Dark, curly hair.
19:03Can't be here.
19:04That's Meyer himself.
19:05Franz Meyer.
19:06Yeah, well, whoever it is, I need help.
19:07His friends are closing in.
19:09Where are you?
19:10Eh?
19:10Oh, I'm not sure exactly.
19:11It's, uh, a little place north.
19:14Hello?
19:15Bodie.
19:16Bodie!
19:37Are there shutters on every window?
19:40Mother?
19:41Yes?
19:42Are you okay?
19:43Right, you and Julie close, everyone.
19:45Do as I say.
19:48Where's the back door?
19:49Hey, the...
19:50I don't know.
19:56I need help.
19:57His friends are closing in.
19:59Well, where are you?
20:00I'm not sure exactly.
20:01A little place north.
20:07I need help.
20:08His friends are closing in.
20:09Well, where are you?
20:10I'm not sure exactly.
20:11It's a little place north.
20:15I need help.
20:17A little place north.
20:19Ah, north probably.
20:20But north of where?
20:21Where, Doyle?
20:22Where was he going?
20:23Lovely Julia.
20:25Eh?
20:25His girlfriend, he was going to take her on the river for the weekend.
20:28Which river?
20:29Tums, probably.
20:30Oh, that's one hell of a river.
20:32There is a pub he uses a lot.
20:35That's on the river.
20:36Just below Marlow.
20:38What did he check out of the carpool?
20:41Capri gear, I think.
20:43Start with that.
20:44Oh, yes.
20:45I don't know.
20:46Body's car.
20:47Capri gear, the one he checked out of the carpool.
20:50APB all units to find it.
20:51Concentrate around the Marlow area.
20:53Come on, Doyle.
20:55Well, lucky that it's an old house.
20:59Stout shutters and locks.
21:02Body, they're armed.
21:04So am I.
21:07So am I.
21:17We don't know where those wires were cut.
21:20No, we don't.
21:22It could be fire, or flood, or act of God, but I think they were cut.
21:26HQ to Carley.
21:28Come in.
21:29They've located Brody's car, two miles north of Marlow.
21:34Right, you understand the situation.
21:41They want him.
21:43He's their leader, so they want him alive.
21:46So all we have to do is sit tight and wait.
21:48Wait?
21:48For what?
21:49I made a call, but I was cut off.
21:52But the people I work for can put two and two together.
21:55They'll find us eventually.
21:57Eventually?
21:58And meanwhile?
22:00Sit tight and wait.
22:01And supposing one of my parishioners comes along?
22:07Is that likely?
22:08The church and village are nearly half a mile away.
22:10Oh.
22:11But it is possible.
22:14Deal with it when it happens.
22:15In the heat of the moment, I forgot my manners.
22:25This is Julie, my girlfriend, and I'm Brody.
22:27Edward Turnbull.
22:30Mrs Turnbull?
22:31Miss Bryce.
22:32Sarah Bryce.
22:33Sarah's my housekeeper.
22:36Yeah.
22:37I'm glad to see you're not a teetotaler, vicar.
22:40May we have a drink?
22:41I think we all need one.
22:45May I have a drink, vicar?
22:47So polite, vicar.
22:48Let's all have a little tea party.
22:51You English are all insane.
22:53Not like the Meyer Helmut group, eh?
22:56They just bomb and hijack and shoot the odd plane load of hostages.
23:00It's a necessary part of our strategy.
23:05The end justifies the means, eh?
23:08You don't understand.
23:10You will never understand.
23:11No, not if I live a million years.
23:13Your lifespan can be measured in minutes.
23:16All of you.
23:17Do you suppose they are going to let you hold me here?
23:21He may fool you.
23:23Shut up!
23:23He may even be fooling himself, but you have nothing to wait for.
23:27Except death.
23:28I won't tolerate this.
23:31I'm sorry, vicar, but I'm in control here.
23:34But if you have any influence in higher places, it'd be most welcome.
23:37Oh, yes, you are in control.
23:39You are armed.
23:39You have a gun.
23:41But no hand to hold it with.
23:42You are in control, vicar, vicar, vicar.
23:56Yeah?
23:57We are the Meyer Helmut group.
23:59We are not trash.
24:02Who are these people outside?
24:04He just told you.
24:06A bunch of killers.
24:07We are a political force.
24:08Forget the political vicar.
24:10Just concentrate on the force.
24:15Oh, surely, if we talk to them, they'll kill you.
24:20We should at least try to talk.
24:22We should...
24:22Hey!
24:25Hey!
24:26You in there!
24:27You're like crabs in a trap.
24:41But don't listen to my words.
24:44Listen to this.
24:45We have the firepower to shoot this door right off its hinges.
24:56To decimate it.
24:59Yes.
24:59You mean it?
25:01Oh, you.
25:02Your only hope is to give me.
25:04No way, Meyer.
25:07Right!
25:07Now you listen to me!
25:08You decimate this door and you decimate Meyer Lang with it!
25:11Because I've got it right in front of it!
25:13Inga!
25:16He's telling the truth!
25:25All right!
25:28All right!
25:30But why be foolish?
25:32Release Meyer and we'll go!
25:35Why be a hero?
25:38A dead hero.
25:39Fool she says.
25:40We do not want to hurt innocent people.
25:45Oh, yeah?
25:47And what brought about that change of heart?
25:49What about the airline with Beirut?
25:51Hey!
25:5242 passengers!
25:54Innocent people!
25:55I suppose you didn't want to hurt them either!
25:59That was different.
26:00They had to die.
26:02We were fighting for our cause.
26:05But why you?
26:07You English.
26:08You know nothing about politics.
26:11But why kill you?
26:13Do you know what it takes to kill?
26:15Sometimes just sheer desperation.
26:18We do not want to kill you.
26:21Release Meyer.
26:22And we'll quietly go on our way.
26:30Is everyone in there pig-headed?
26:33Is everyone in there!
26:45Bikkers!
26:46Bikkers!
26:47Bikkers!
26:48They had comment on that!
26:50Bikkers!
26:50Bikkers!
26:52Bikkers!
26:52Bikkers!
26:53They don't shoot.
26:54Bikkers!
26:57Bikkers!
26:58Bikkers!
27:00Bikkers!
27:02Bikkers!
27:02Bikkers!
27:03Close the shutters!
27:13Round one.
27:21Isn't that gonna be too tight? No.
27:23It won't feel a thing.
27:25That's the idea.
27:33Some ambidextrous.
27:37As far as they're concerned.
27:45Quiet.
28:03Forget it. He's got his hands set.
28:05Bodie always breaking the rules.
28:07Well, next I'll see you, ma'am.
28:09Ah, you found the car pretty damn quick.
28:11The local fuzz were ahead of us.
28:13Investigating a stolen car, sir.
28:15It was taken from here less than an hour ago,
28:17right from under the owner's nose.
28:18He's still pretty shocked.
28:19What kind of car?
28:20A brown Cortina Estata.
28:22Oh, Bodie must have taken it.
28:24Get an APB out in that car.
28:26We got that call about half an hour ago.
28:28Could have travelled 20 miles?
28:3030 the way Bodie drives.
28:3230 miles radius.
28:33I want that car found.
28:34And the rubber boat.
28:35Rubber boat?
29:02Alright.
29:03I want that car too.
29:05Look at the car!
29:14Oh my God!
29:16I've not�� VMI!
29:18Haras is a car seat.
29:19Oh my God!
29:20Ah Roy...
29:21...
29:22And now flooding is a fun one day.
29:23Alright.
29:24This town...
29:25...
29:28Seven years, bad luck.
29:44Yes, bad luck.
29:47But you haven't got seven years.
29:58What was that choice?
30:05The cellar. Do you have a cellar?
30:10There's the boiler room.
30:28Shoot me!
30:47What did you say? Tell me!
31:11Attack. He told them to attack.
31:15You have my permission to attack. Don't mind me.
31:21I took German at school.
31:27Inga, Hans is dead.
31:33Did you hear him? Attack.
31:40Inga, he's dead.
31:44Dead. We're all dead.
31:51France told us to attack. Inga.
31:55Are you faltering now, Christo? Do you want me to do it alone?
31:59What do you want? That car. In front of the house. Can you get it?
32:10I don't know. It's possible, I suppose, but...
32:13Dead it. I'll meet you in front of the drive.
32:17It looks like a car skidded into the boat and pulled off again.
32:32Headed north. Isn't that what Bodie was trying to say? I'm north of...
32:35Where? Call HQ. I want every available man rushed into this area.
32:40Bodie's near somewhere. Hold up. We've got to find him.
32:44Well, we've increased our firepower by a few rounds. I can count.
32:51Well, that'll be useful. What's 365 days multiplied by at least 25 years?
32:59Bodie, isn't it?
33:01Mm-hmm.
33:02Bodie, save your show of confidence for them.
33:06You and I, we are about the same age, perhaps.
33:09But an intellect apart.
33:22Well, one thing's for sure.
33:24You know the psychology of the captor, captive, the growing together,
33:29the mutual understanding? That's not going to happen here.
33:34You can speak for yourself, Bodie. But what about them?
33:38How does this concern you?
33:41You have no conception of what this fight is about.
33:44It's not your fight.
33:46Him.
33:48They will give him an honorable funeral.
33:50Perhaps a volley over the grave.
33:53But you. How does this concern you?
33:57Answer him. Truthfully.
34:02I don't understand your politics.
34:04There. You see?
34:06But I understand good. I understand evil.
34:11I think you are evil.
34:13You kill without cause.
34:15Without cause?
34:17You do not understand.
34:20You kill people who cannot possibly stand between you and your ideas.
34:23You don't even know who they are.
34:29Julie.
34:30You're right.
34:32I've no idea what your fight is about.
34:37I just know it means violence and killing.
34:40And someone's got to stop you.
34:42You will die.
34:43You will die.
34:44All of you.
34:45You've never told me about Bodie.
34:58I made you a team, what, two years ago?
35:01Two years ago.
35:02Two years and three months.
35:04Now that's long enough.
35:05Long enough for what?
35:07For him to get up your nose, irritate you.
35:10Oh, he does that all right.
35:11Every day he does that.
35:13Chalk and cheese, eh?
35:14Yeah.
35:15Ah, it's worked well, though.
35:18Yeah, I've watched his back.
35:19He's watched mine.
35:20We're both still alive.
35:22At least, this morning we were both still alive.
35:25Aye.
35:27Aye.
35:29Bodie gets up my nose, too.
35:30And so do you.
35:33But I want you both to stay alive.
35:36Ah, I think this is the bit where I show my quality of leadership.
35:41Yes.
35:42There's organized games, singing.
35:44Hmm?
35:46Keep us all occupied.
35:48Interested.
35:49Hmm?
35:52So we don't die of exposure.
35:57You know, this is...
35:58Shut up, Bodie.
36:01Oh, you saw the film, too, eh?
36:04Yes, the dissenter.
36:06The mandatory coward who cracks and runs wild.
36:09Climbs out of the window and gets himself killed.
36:14Yeah.
36:17Shut up, Bodie.
36:22They're a long time coming.
36:28Sit tight and wait.
36:29Put two and two together.
36:32They're a long time coming.
36:33Who is it?
36:47Not the 7th Cavalry.
36:48Stay here.
36:49Right.
37:07Now.
37:08Upstairs.
37:09Now.
37:10Move.
37:11Keep going.
37:12Help me.
37:13Upstairs.
37:14Now.
37:15Move.
37:16Now.
37:17Upstairs.
37:18Now move.
37:20Now move.
37:21Now move.
37:25Keep going.
37:26Keep going!
37:32Help me!
37:47Up to the attic!
37:56Up!
38:11Sit down!
38:22I've got a way to spend an afternoon.
38:24Your last afternoon.
38:30Try that again and I'll kill him!
38:47Thirty miles.
38:49Do you think he might have...
38:50Mr Cowley, over.
38:52Come in.
38:52We found the stolen car, sir.
38:54Where?
38:55About two, two and a half miles off the Marlis slip road.
38:58It's parked in a wood.
39:00We're on our way.
39:01We're on our way.
39:02We're at a distance.
39:03We're at something.
39:04I'm on our way.
39:05But we'll get more than one.
39:06You can't put so much in the car without the car.
39:09I can't do that.
39:10I'll be right there, sir.
39:11I can't do that.
39:12No.
39:13What font to the car?
39:14I can't do that.
39:15You can't do it.
39:16I can't do it.
39:17We can do it.
39:18Hey, look, Seymour made it at the top of the world.
39:24Didn't you ever see that old Cagney movie?
39:26I saw it.
39:28He died.
39:34Be quiet.
39:37Stupid.
39:41You stop that!
39:44Stop it, you!
39:46Stop it, you!
39:48Don't you see? He's goading you!
39:55We're not so very different, are we?
40:00Oh, you cry, Sarah. Cry it out.
40:04Not so very different, eh?
40:07She isn't even on the same planet as you.
40:12So...
40:14We're gonna die, eh?
40:17Our last afternoon.
40:18Two hysterical women.
40:20You can hardly hold a gun against Inger and Christo.
40:24Where would you put your money?
40:27Yeah, you might be right, Meyer.
40:29Now I come to think of it,
40:31it might be here.
40:33You know, I've never given much thought to where I might die.
40:37Dark alley,
40:38African bush,
40:40or running for the last boss.
40:44But you listen to this.
40:46And listen carefully.
40:51Wherever I go,
40:53you go.
40:55Maybe even first.
40:57Couldn't bear to leave you behind.
40:59You understand, Meyer?
41:00Spraken's here going with me.
41:03Do you hear me?
41:04Are you listening?
41:04Are you listening?
41:05No, Bodie.
41:06Stop it.
41:10You're not so very different either.
41:11clever.
41:18Clever.
41:19Very clever, Meyer.
41:21Yes, rattle us.
41:22Get us off balance, eh?
41:24Clever.
41:25Well, God knows what's happening outside.
41:55I don't know.
42:06Why don't we throw him out?
42:09That's what they want.
42:10That's what they're asking for.
42:12Makes sense, Bodie.
42:13No.
42:15Why not?
42:16Look, if we throw him out...
42:17No!
42:19Why?
42:20I want to know why.
42:22She's right.
42:26If we're going to die,
42:27we have a right to know why.
42:29I agree with you.
42:30You keep out of this.
42:33I don't know why.
42:36Because I hate his kind.
42:38Because I don't like to lose.
42:40I don't know why.
42:42Ask Cowley.
42:42Maybe he can tell you.
42:43Cowley?
42:44Cowley's all right.
42:49Look, I don't know why.
42:50Because I say so.
42:53And what you say goes?
42:54Yeah.
42:55As long as I'm holding this gun.
42:57Holding it?
42:59I can scarcely feel it.
43:20It's a car ride, sir.
43:25Bullet hole.
43:26Where does the Audi fit in?
43:27I don't quite know as yet, sir.
43:29But it is on the stolen car list.
43:30Which way, Doyle?
43:31I don't know.
43:32Two years, three months.
43:33You know one better than any of us.
43:34Which way?
43:34Well, Bodie, we'll go for cover, sir.
43:36That'll be the woods, then.
43:37Yeah.
43:37Direct all units into this area.
43:39A full sweep.
43:39Begin at the village,
43:40then right across the valley.
43:41Right, sir.
43:42We'll take the back road, Doyle.
43:43Yes, sir.
43:43On.
43:50We'll take the back road,
43:51and we'll take the back road.
44:11It's ironic, isn't it?
44:14Here we are, waiting to die,
44:17because you, Bodie, don't like to lose.
44:22I'm doing this to protect you.
44:24People like you.
44:26You live by violence.
44:29Just like him.
44:29Yes, when you fight fire with fire in this job.
44:32And now, we're all gonna die violently.
44:36You're crazy, crazy!
44:46You live by violence.
44:48Yes, you live by violence.
44:59Bodie, can't we at least-
45:16Oh, the wrong way, damn you!
45:23That's Cowley. I'm sure it's Cowley. He's heading towards the village.
45:28A shot?
45:30No. In a car at this distance, he'll never hear it.
45:33Even if he did, it only confused. Could come from anywhere.
45:39Sarah?
45:40Sarah?
45:43That road, it disappears into the forest.
45:47Does it reappear there?
45:49Yes, and then it dips down again into the village.
45:51Right. That's my only chance. Julie?
45:56Pull it.
45:57If I can just get their attention.
45:59Isn't it too far?
46:01Nearly half a mile, isn't it, Sarah?
46:03Yes.
46:04This thing won't shoot half a mile.
46:06Why are you wasting shots?
46:07It won't shoot, but it'll reach.
46:10That guy ever shot the target once on the range.
46:13Hit a roof nearly a mile away.
46:16That bullet was spent, of course, but it did reach.
46:20Right.
46:22Hold this.
46:23Tight.
46:24Cock it.
46:25Right back, that's it.
46:27Right.
46:28Trajectory.
46:29I can narrow.
46:32Allow for drift on the head of the car.
46:34God, the wind could take it miles off.
46:36Hold it tight. Steady.
46:37Very steady.
46:38Very steady.
46:39Very steady.
46:43Did you hit it?
46:44I dunno.
46:45I dunno.
46:46I dunno.
46:47I dunno.
46:48I dunno.
46:49I dunno.

46:53From where?
46:54We better check that house.
46:55I dunno.
46:56I dunno.
46:57I dunno.
46:58I dunno.
46:59I dunno.
47:00I dunno.
47:01The bullet.
47:02From where?
47:03We better check that house.
47:04I dunno.
47:05I dunno.
47:06Perhaps they heard the shot.
47:07I dunno.
47:08At that distance, not a chance.
47:11perhaps they heard the shot I told you at that distance not a chance
47:32is that going to be our epitaph to birdie not a chance
