00:00:35THE END
00:01:13Here, here, the lucky numbers. Numbers are quite no favorite. Numbers like love and death. You're poor, they'll make you
00:01:21rich. You're rich, they'll make you richer. Take a chance, take a chance.
00:01:26Luck was your mother's yes to your father. Your father's marriage to your mother. And you? Good evening, Mr. Gallagher.
00:01:35And you? You are the luck of your father and mother. Your luck is here. Take a chance.
00:01:42Thanks, May Lee. Not now. Maybe tomorrow.
00:01:49Lottery. Lottery. Oh, well, that's numbers.
00:02:08You're Johnny Chan, aren't you? That's right. Looking for me? What would you say?
00:02:15I'll take either one of you. Care to flip? Just so you get the whole picture, Mr. Callaghan. Like to
00:02:21come along with us? Nice life? You can't make it rough if that's what you want.
00:02:29Your move.
00:02:30Where would we be going?
00:02:32Somewhere real quiet. We want to provide free transportation.
00:02:59Where would we be?
00:03:00For the biggest ranketeer in Singapore, Chan, you've really got a hoodlum's touch. Perhaps.
00:03:07Perhaps not, but I can't say much for the company you keep.
00:03:10Sorry.
00:03:11He stays.
00:03:12Well, I'm here.
00:03:14What do you want?
00:03:15I want information, and I want it straight.
00:03:18What are you and Julian March doing with a man named Leo Gusick?
00:03:21So you've heard of Gusick, too.
00:03:23I plan to hear more.
00:03:25Not from me.
00:03:27Listen, Callahan.
00:03:29I got nothing against you personal.
00:03:31But you and March and this other guy are getting in my hair.
00:03:33So how's about it?
00:03:34Do you talk?
00:03:35Or do we have to act real unfriendly?
00:03:37Where did you learn to talk at all?
00:03:41Now let's have it.
00:03:46I know of a little village in the jungle.
00:03:48It's like that Belgian village.
00:03:50The enemy killed every male inhabitant of the town.
00:03:53I was in the last company to leave before they arrived.
00:03:56Now the needers won't go back.
00:03:58They call it the village of death.
00:03:59I'm always interested in history.
00:04:02I'm in the rubber business.
00:04:04In a way.
00:04:05And I need a storing place where no one's going to come looking.
00:04:08This village is perfect.
00:04:09But a week ago, Gusick and Paderas showed up with some bandits
00:04:12and took the village over.
00:04:13There was nothing my men could do but get out.
00:04:15And then they were lucky.
00:04:16Gusick with Paderas?
00:04:18They're both strangers in town.
00:04:20But I don't think they're strangers to you.
00:04:22What's the operation?
00:04:23What do they want?
00:04:24They're getting in my hair.
00:04:26You're wasting your time with me.
00:04:28We've got all the time there is.
00:04:30You should have gone after Julian March.
00:04:32Not me.
00:04:32Maybe he knows something.
00:04:34You or March.
00:04:35What's the difference?
00:04:36You worked together before.
00:04:37In Shanghai you were partners.
00:04:39Never partners.
00:04:40Just friends.
00:04:41In Shanghai.
00:04:43How about now?
00:04:44He works on his own.
00:04:46But I've seen you together.
00:04:48For fun occasionally.
00:04:49But never for business.
00:04:50And never with, what's his name, Gusick or Paderas.
00:04:55You could be on the level.
00:04:58Half of Singapore thinks you are.
00:05:01Maybe we could get the information out of March's wife down at the Golden Poppy.
00:05:05The one they call Frenessy.
00:05:07I don't think I'd go near that girl, Chan.
00:05:10Like that, is it?
00:05:11Interpret it any way you want.
00:05:13But don't go near her.
00:05:14I think that's clear enough.
00:05:15And I think this whole conversation is getting a little too personal.
00:05:19Leave March and his wife alone and I'll try to bring you some information by mind.
00:05:27Agreed?
00:05:28Agreed.
00:05:31Do you provide transportation for free both ways or only one?
00:05:36Both ways.
00:05:38No hard feelings.
00:05:40And I bruise so easily.
00:05:54I don't know.
00:05:54Hello there, Mike.
00:05:56What could possibly tear you away from the Fantan games this time of night?
00:06:09Have a busy day?
00:06:18Don't you know the place yet?
00:06:21Have a drink?
00:06:22Thanks.
00:06:22Not without ice.
00:06:25Julian.
00:06:26What's on your mind, old boy?
00:06:27Why wasn't I supposed to see you looking at the map?
00:06:31I'm sorry, old man.
00:06:32You're way over my head.
00:06:33It was my own eyes that saw you tonight.
00:06:35You and a fellow named Guzik.
00:06:38Really?
00:06:39Whereabouts?
00:06:40Off Foochow Road.
00:06:43Oh?
00:06:49Anything wrong with that?
00:06:51I don't want to sound like a boy scout, but once before I pulled you out of trouble.
00:06:56You're a big boy now.
00:06:58I'd hate to see you get in so deep again.
00:07:02Who are you really worrying about, Mike?
00:07:05Me or, uh, Frennessy?
00:07:08If you want to ruin a perfect friendship, it'll have to wait till the morning.
00:07:12Where would you be going now?
00:07:14Right this minute, for example?
00:07:17If you really want to know, I'm not quite sure.
00:07:19Maybe I'm going to meet a charming young lady named Willow Bossom.
00:07:22Or, if the fancy strikes me, I might keep an appointment with a young lady not so charming,
00:07:26but I hear considerably more talented.
00:07:29Perhaps you know her.
00:07:31Her name, Ming Toy, profession dancer, place of employment, the Golden Poppy.
00:07:35Satisfied?
00:07:36That's playing pretty close to home, isn't it?
00:07:39Look, Julian, somewhere, someday, you're going to hurt Frennessy once too often.
00:07:45Since you're acting the part of the family advisor,
00:07:48has the possibility ever occurred to you that I might not want to hurt her?
00:07:52That I might want very much not to hurt her?
00:07:54That maybe I can't help the way I am sometimes?
00:07:58Besides, Mike, do you want to share all my girls?
00:08:02No, not all of them.
00:08:04You shouldn't play Galahad.
00:08:05You're way out of character.
00:08:07Frennessy was never for you.
00:08:09Not after she got her first look at you she wasn't.
00:08:14Look, Mike.
00:08:16I know by most people's standards I'm not what's considered a good husband.
00:08:21But in the strange sort of way I am.
00:08:24But I don't suppose you could understand that, could you?
00:08:27That's pretty tough for anybody to understand.
00:08:30Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:08:32Well, don't worry.
00:08:32I'll never really let her down, or you either.
00:08:35I owe you both too much.
00:08:37Maybe.
00:08:38But I think I'll be keeping my eye on you from time to time, Julian.
00:08:42I think I'll have to, just to protect myself.
00:08:45Like you said, I'm a big boy now.
00:08:48But I do wish you'd believe me.
00:08:50You coming?
00:08:51No.
00:08:52I think I'll stick around and wait for Lee Wong.
00:08:55You're really attached to that little camera character, aren't you?
00:08:58He's proven a friend from time to time.
00:09:10Bye-bye, Mike.
00:09:12Make yourself at home.
00:09:12Sorry there's no ice for the whiskey.
00:09:41The call's way to the mainland.
00:09:47The airport road.
00:09:50That place where you will stop.
00:09:54That's enough for now.
00:10:01You've kept us waiting.
00:10:03Took longer than I anticipated to get here.
00:10:07In an endeavor such as ours, we must have discipline.
00:10:10You'd do well to remember that the orders here are mine.
00:10:14You will be paid only if you carry them out.
00:10:17Why were you late?
00:10:18Well, among other things, I had to make sure I wasn't being followed.
00:10:21What made you think that possibility even existed?
00:10:25Apparently I have been followed.
00:10:26And quite recently.
00:10:27By whom?
00:10:30Mike Callahan.
00:10:32It's possible he's on to us.
00:10:34To what extent?
00:10:36He saw me tonight with him.
00:10:39If he were curious enough he could...
00:10:41Perhaps his curiosity could be curved.
00:10:45Could be.
00:10:48You have a refreshingly detached attitude towards your friend.
00:10:53Our...
00:10:54I should say...
00:10:55Your undertaking is much more important to me than Callahan.
00:10:59And yet I...
00:11:00I heard a story about a fight in Shanghai.
00:11:05I heard that you owe Callahan your life.
00:11:08I didn't ask him for it.
00:11:09I also heard that before you married her, your wife was his...
00:11:14What does one say?
00:11:15His sweetheart.
00:11:17His light of love.
00:11:18His girl.
00:11:19She was his girl.
00:11:21She is my wife.
00:11:23Yet he...
00:11:24He still hangs around, huh?
00:11:26He's still your friend.
00:11:27Yes, but I didn't ask him for that either.
00:11:32You English are fascinating.
00:11:35Fascinating.
00:11:36But we've not got all night.
00:11:38See?
00:11:41We imagine him to be a vice-regal chauffeur.
00:11:44You be our technical advisor.
00:11:46You do.
00:11:49Now the question of your costume.
00:11:51Where is it?
00:11:52Is it...
00:11:54The regimental badges and buttons are correct.
00:11:57We had it made in Rangoon.
00:11:59After it was completed, the tailor, of course, had to be disposed of.
00:12:04The price of prudence comes high.
00:12:08How long is it since you've worn the king's...
00:12:10I beg your pardon, the queen's uniform?
00:12:12Six years.
00:12:14Well, tonight you will wear it for one hour.
00:12:16For one hour you will be Major Ian Bone of the British Military Intelligence.
00:12:20The plane arrives in two hours and ten minutes.
00:12:25Those I'm not entitled to wear.
00:12:29And those?
00:12:31I have exact duplicates in the top drawer of my bureau.
00:12:36My own.
00:12:40Now what happens about your friend Callahan?
00:12:45Isn't it you, Mr. Bedaris, who gives the orders here?
00:12:50You're right there.
00:12:51I'm not sure.
00:12:52I'm not sure.
00:12:56I'm not sure.
00:12:56I'm not sure.
00:12:58You're not sure.
00:13:03You're not sure.
00:13:05I'm not sure.
00:13:08You're not sure.
00:13:10I'm sure.
00:13:11I'm sure.
00:13:11You're not sure.
00:13:29What do you have?
00:13:30Do you mean to tell me they've got television here already?
00:13:33Yes, Mr. Callahan.
00:14:11You wouldn't be knowing anything about Julian March's activities, would you, Wu?
00:14:15I know, Mr. March. You'd like to pay his bill?
00:14:19That's a possibility. If you wanted to discount it with a little information.
00:14:23So sorry. I'm not giving out information over this bar tonight.
00:14:28Look what I'm giving out over this bar tonight.
00:14:31I don't see so well, Mr. Callahan.
00:14:34It says five on it.
00:14:37What do you know?
00:14:40Here's one that says ten.
00:14:44Well, make up your mind, Wu.
00:14:46Where does March disappear to these nights?
00:14:49It is said there's a girl called Willow Blossom,
00:14:52at least near the canal, in a street of many moons.
00:14:55It is also said that our new dancer, Ming-Toy,
00:14:58occasionally calls him on phone.
00:15:01It's a lesson someone's been teaching you, Wu.
00:15:03Was it March or a lad called Guzik?
00:15:05I'm so sorry. Not knowing any man called.
00:15:08Guzik.
00:15:13They're plum glasses.
00:15:28So whoever they are, they've got you scared too, huh?
00:15:33Too many wives, too many children.
00:15:36Only one Wu.
00:15:38There's only one Wu.
00:15:40There's a joke there somewhere.
00:15:51Too soon to forget the love that was you.
00:16:01Too late to dream dreams no longer knew.
00:16:09Too soon to forget your lips in the night.
00:16:19Too late for your love.
00:16:26Only time.
00:16:27This is Wu.
00:16:29Callahan is here.
00:16:30You want to know about Guzik?
00:16:51You forgot these.
00:16:52I know.
00:16:55Thanks for buying them for me.
00:16:58Forget it.
00:17:00Remember Shanghai?
00:17:02The day you took me out along Bubbling Well Road.
00:17:07Picnic in the orchard.
00:17:09Remember?
00:17:09What do you think I bought them for?
00:17:12Remember.
00:17:13Wasn't it the day after that they shipped me out?
00:17:16Almost makes me cry to think of it.
00:17:19You and a hundred others standing on a dock, waving lace handkerchiefs.
00:17:24And me and a hundred others on a ship waving our dumb arms off.
00:17:28And the next time I see you, you've got a husband.
00:17:31Brother.
00:17:33I just fought the war for the wrong piece of real estate.
00:17:36The guys who fought it here had all the breaks.
00:17:40Have you done what I asked you?
00:17:43About Julian?
00:17:45Of course.
00:17:47Mike Callahan.
00:17:48Private eye.
00:17:50And you discovered?
00:17:51I discovered that your husband is very easily followed in a crowd because of his upright and military bearing.
00:17:58And that he saves the price of the morning papers by grabbing a free look in the reading room of
00:18:02the English Officers Club.
00:18:04And that he can't resist rubbernecking at that excavation for the new department store on Lao Yi Street.
00:18:10And, although I don't know how closely he's tied in with him,
00:18:13he at least has a speaking acquaintance with a character called Guzik.
00:18:18Guzik?
00:18:18A messenger boy, bodyguard, and all-around assassin for one Alexis Pederis.
00:18:23And in case you don't know, one Alexis Pederis is the big operator.
00:18:29I know, I know.
00:18:32But why did Guzik and Julian meet?
00:18:35What do they talk about?
00:18:36It's clumsiness, I admit.
00:18:38But I haven't been able to get close enough to overhear and still stay out of sight.
00:18:44That sounds as though it might be dangerous.
00:18:47You can say that again.
00:18:48Once I was watching him so close I didn't see where I was going and I almost fell down a
00:18:52manhole.
00:18:53And another time I got clobbered by a revolving door.
00:18:55Oh, stop it, Mike. Stop it.
00:18:58I mean for Julian.
00:19:00Well, it could be.
00:19:01Depends on how deep he's involved, what kind of a project they got on.
00:19:05For all I know, Guzik and he were just swapping bets on the dog races.
00:19:09That's what I want you to find out next, Mike.
00:19:12How he's involved with Guzik.
00:19:14Why he meets him.
00:19:14What they do talk about.
00:19:16No, thanks.
00:19:17This was my last day.
00:19:20I'm handing in my badge.
00:19:22Oh.
00:19:24You know, he keeps talking about how he can't keep living on my money.
00:19:30How he should be the one who supports us.
00:19:34I'm really afraid for him.
00:19:36Afraid of what he might do.
00:19:38Okay, suppose I do keep on his trail.
00:19:40And I find out that he's planning to knock over a bank.
00:19:44Whether he shills little children for a sausage factory.
00:19:47Or that he's selling military information.
00:19:49He's a spy.
00:19:50What do I do then?
00:19:51Gumshoe back here and spill it all to you?
00:20:03No, thanks.
00:20:06You see, going along the way we have been, I can always tell myself that I've got some second chance
00:20:12with you someday.
00:20:13But spying on a man through keyholes and coming back and singing to his wife, he'd hate me and so
00:20:21would you.
00:20:34The car from government house is overdue.
00:20:37And our major bone.
00:20:38I'll take care of bone.
00:20:40He just seated Dr. O'Connor.
00:20:42Oh, thanks, old boy.
00:20:43But I've been briefed too, remember?
00:20:47Get set.
00:20:48Car coming.
00:20:51Two flags and a crown.
00:20:53That's it.
00:20:53Let's go.
00:20:59There's no hurry.
00:21:00We're a few minutes early.
00:21:02And I don't want to be seen hanging about the airdrome before O'Connor's plane gets in.
00:21:06Very good, sir.
00:21:07But once O'Connor's in the car, drive as fast as possible.
00:21:10And remember, stop for nothing.
00:21:17Someone's in an awful hurry.
00:21:21All right.
00:21:22All right.
00:21:52Hello, what's this?
00:21:54Huff out and give those chaps a hand.
00:21:56Get them out of the way.
00:21:57Very good, sir.
00:22:05What's going on here?
00:22:07Come on, let's get it out of the way.
00:22:10Come on, come on.
00:22:11Let's move it.
00:22:12Let's move it.
00:22:13What are they doing?
00:22:16Come on.
00:22:18Come on.
00:22:19Get out of the way.
00:22:20We can't wait here forever.
00:22:25Come on.
00:22:31Hurry up.
00:22:32There's a car coming.
00:22:34We've got it off the road.
00:22:47Hurry!
00:23:17You can see the dial, sir.
00:23:25Attention, please.
00:23:26Attention, all disembarking passengers.
00:23:29Will Professor Sean O'Connor please come to the information desk?
00:23:34Professor O'Connor.
00:23:39Professor Sean O'Connor?
00:23:42You are Professor O'Connor.
00:23:44My name is Hayden, Robert Hayden.
00:23:46Yes, of course, sir, but that was just for the flight from Colombo.
00:23:49My name is Bone.
00:23:50I'm attached to the staff of the Governor, Sir Charles Coots.
00:23:55I guess it's all right, Major.
00:23:57Very good of you to meet me.
00:23:59I must say, it was a bit of a surprise to hear my name over the public addresses.
00:24:03I'm sure it was.
00:24:04I have a car waiting.
00:24:05Your luggage is being taken care of.
00:24:07If you're ready, we can leave at once.
00:24:10I'm sorry, Major.
00:24:11I'll have to see your permission to enter this area.
00:24:13The airdrome has been off-limits to all unauthorized military personnel since 6 this evening.
00:24:19I'm under special orders from the Governor, so no pass will be necessary.
00:24:23But allow me to congratulate you, Corporal, on your alertness.
00:24:27I'm sorry, Major.
00:24:28I'll have to have your name and regiment.
00:24:30Freighter shall have to put you on report for being off-limits.
00:24:32Major Ian Bone, 106 Queens Highlanders.
00:24:35Major Ian.
00:24:36And allow me to congratulate you again, Corporal, on your alertness.
00:24:39It may interest you to know that all off-limits reports have to cross my desk.
00:24:43You won't mind if I take my name off the list, will you?
00:24:46Not at all, sir.
00:25:03Delreas says stay out of it, Callaghan.
00:25:05And stay away from Julian March.
00:25:07Next time will be worse.
00:25:11Come on.
00:25:38I used to teach quantum mechanics at Cambridge ten years ago.
00:25:42It didn't matter two pins where I went or when.
00:25:48Now, as a nuclear physicist, I dare and cross the street without having some intelligence chap breathing down the back
00:25:53of my neck.
00:25:55That's what you are.
00:25:56Military intelligence, isn't it?
00:25:59As a matter of fact, yes, sir.
00:26:02I thought so.
00:26:03Well, the Weistriegel limousine and so on.
00:26:08Well, I don't seem to recognize this area.
00:26:12I don't mind if I do.
00:26:23Either my memory is very much at fault, or we are not heading for a government house.
00:26:28We're taking a rather roundabout route, sir.
00:26:31In heaven's name, why can't we drive directly there?
00:26:34You're a security risk.
00:26:36This particular route is guarded every inch of the way.
00:26:38Oh, really?
00:26:41I haven't seen any sign of guards.
00:26:47Quite a coincidence.
00:26:49What's that?
00:26:50A command car.
00:26:51Don't turn here.
00:26:52Drive straight on.
00:26:53We should be there in about ten minutes, sir.
00:26:56Sir Charles is expecting us about midnight.
00:26:58I can't for the life of me understand why we dodge about all these back streets.
00:27:03Take your picture, mister.
00:27:04Very clear, very sharp.
00:27:07Five shillings, please.
00:27:09Twelve o'clock tomorrow.
00:27:10We'll be right here.
00:27:11Very clear pictures, very sharp.
00:27:17Would you like to take my picture, B-1?
00:27:20Now, look here, Major.
00:27:21Where are we?
00:27:22We're almost there, sir.
00:27:23We're in Fuchow Road.
00:27:25That's down near the waterfront.
00:27:27How do you want me to pose?
00:27:29Well, are you going to take my picture?
00:27:30You already have your lucky ticket.
00:27:32Julie and the March.
00:27:34I just don't like it at all.
00:27:37For two pins, I'd get out and take a cab.
00:27:40I'm afraid I couldn't let you do that, sir.
00:27:42I certainly don't see why not.
00:27:49Please, sir.
00:27:50Get out of here.
00:27:55Speed it up.
00:27:55Major Boone, what is going on?
00:28:00Head for the alley and stay off Fuchow Road.
00:28:04Mr. Callahan.
00:28:08Mr. Callahan, you there?
00:28:16I don't know.
00:28:25I don't know.
00:28:25I don't know.
00:28:33Who did this to you?
00:28:35Guzik.
00:28:37Whoever he is, they're not playing for bottle tops.
00:28:41Wait till I show you.
00:28:43You got something?
00:28:44You got plenty, I think.
00:28:45Very clear, very sharp.
00:28:49My good friend, Julian March.
00:28:53But who's the other one?
00:28:54I do not know.
00:28:55But they were in the vice regal car.
00:29:00Where's the negative?
00:29:01In my dark room.
00:29:03Is this the only print?
00:29:04I did not take time to print more.
00:29:06This is an enlargement.
00:29:08Taken down on Fuchow Road.
00:29:11Listen, while.
00:29:13I want you to print a couple of more of these and bring them back here with the negative.
00:29:18You got that?
00:29:19Will you be here?
00:29:21Well, you may have to wait.
00:29:23This, I'm showing to someone.
00:29:25I might have to wait a long time.
00:29:28Look what they do already.
00:29:31That's a good point you're bringing up.
00:29:34If I'm not here an hour from now,
00:29:37take your pictures to Inspector McCollum Police Headquarters, Gloucester Road.
00:29:42Now, beat it and watch yourself.
00:29:45You need help, Mr. Callahan.
00:29:48Any kind of help, you know where to come.
00:29:50You know Lee Wong is your friend.
00:29:53I know Wong, yes.
00:29:55Thanks.
00:29:56Now, on your way.
00:30:00The one was to be left then.
00:30:01But with the approaching car, there could be no shooting.
00:30:04But you march.
00:30:05Mr. Bedaris, listen to me.
00:30:06I'm just a little bored with listening to you.
00:30:09But I tell you there was nothing else I could do.
00:30:10You were instructed to transfer Professor O'Connor
00:30:13into another of our cars in the alley next to Cathay Street.
00:30:16But there was a command car parked not ten yards from the alley.
00:30:19We had to go on.
00:30:20But not into Foo Chow Road, you idiot.
00:30:22The one street in Singapore where you're best known.
00:30:26I've learned many things in life, Mr. March,
00:30:28but never to suffer fools gladly.
00:30:30Professor O'Connor is already in the mainland
00:30:32before they could blockade the causeway.
00:30:35But your bungling could have led them directly to us,
00:30:37or to be more to the point, to me.
00:30:40But you don't know this fellow took it.
00:30:41You're not sure.
00:30:43If he did, and it fell into the wrong hands, huh?
00:30:47You see, Mr. March, you'd be arrested at once.
00:30:50And with the future of a man like Professor O'Connor at stake,
00:30:53even the British would forget their cricket for a while.
00:30:56And forgive me for saying so.
00:30:58But I don't think you're the type of man
00:31:00who can stand up to a ruthless questioning.
00:31:02But you don't even know if there is a picture.
00:31:04You're not sure.
00:31:05If there were one chance in a million,
00:31:07I couldn't accept it.
00:31:08And besides, you know where we're taking the professor.
00:31:11Well, that's not really fair.
00:31:13I did my part.
00:31:14Without me, you couldn't have got O'Connor.
00:31:16Without you, we're sure of keeping him.
00:31:19You mean just because there might be a picture in existence?
00:31:21Can you say that there is not a picture in existence?
00:31:24Well, we could find out.
00:31:27Music has to be across the strait by dawn.
00:31:29Well, there's still time.
00:31:31This fellow who took it, I might know where you could find him.
00:31:35Would it conflict with your rather perverted sense of honor
00:31:38if you told me exactly where we can find him?
00:31:41Since you understand that it may allow you to live for a little longer.
00:31:46His name's Wong.
00:31:47Lee Wong.
00:31:48He has a shop over on...
00:31:50Truly lucky they threw me in the water, I suppose.
00:31:53But General Brown should have done what I suggested, Sir Charles.
00:31:56Brought him in under escort.
00:31:57Well, I'm only the governor here.
00:31:59I don't make the arrangements.
00:32:01The other passengers were screened, but O'Connor had a bogus passport.
00:32:04We never dreamt that anybody could pull it off.
00:32:07Is it as bad as that, sir?
00:32:08Well, make no mistake about it, McCollum.
00:32:10We're on the verge of the gravest possible kind of international crisis.
00:32:14First of all, there was the race for the atom bond.
00:32:17Now it's this new kind of horror, and they're after our top brains again.
00:32:21Professor O'Connor is one of the four men in the whole world
00:32:23who know how to detonate the H-bomb.
00:32:25That's what he was on his way to Australia to do.
00:32:27You mean then there is things...
00:32:29Well, who else?
00:32:29Well, we're searching the city thoroughly.
00:32:31I've called every man available on the force for active duty.
00:32:34I'm rounding up all of the planters and every responsible man I can lay my hands on.
00:32:38Well, did you tell them why they're being called?
00:32:39No, not in detail.
00:32:40Just search.
00:32:41National emergency.
00:32:42The first thing we have to do is find your car, sir.
00:32:44Well, what about the causeway to the mainland?
00:32:46The road's blocked.
00:32:47Shut down tight.
00:32:48Bone, what do you think our chances are?
00:32:50Not, not good.
00:33:09Who is it?
00:33:10What?
00:33:15Is Julian here?
00:33:16No.
00:33:20What are you looking for?
00:33:22A uniform.
00:33:24Yeah.
00:33:25Try and make sure he's going to be okay.
00:33:27Well, this is it.
00:33:29Now what?
00:33:32Stay away from Julian March.
00:33:34That's what they said when they finished chopping on me.
00:33:37And if that doesn't sound suspicious enough, take a look at this.
00:33:44When was this taken?
00:33:45Tonight.
00:33:47What does it mean?
00:33:48Whatever it means, it can't be good.
00:33:52We must find him.
00:33:54We've got to help him.
00:33:57Poor Mike.
00:34:00We've got to find him, Mike.
00:34:02We've got to find him and help him.
00:34:05He's not as wise as you are.
00:34:09He can't always take care of himself.
00:34:12You'd defend him whatever he did, wouldn't you?
00:34:15I...
00:34:17I suppose I would.
00:34:19He's my husband.
00:34:21And you picked him, didn't you?
00:34:23What a Lulu.
00:34:24That car's probably stolen, you know.
00:34:27And he's impersonating an officer.
00:34:29Yes, sir.
00:34:31You sure picked yourself a husband.
00:34:33A regular first-class chromium-plated prize winner.
00:34:37Shut up, Mike.
00:34:39Shut up.
00:34:42I can't walk out on him now, can I?
00:34:44Now when he's probably in deeper than he's ever been.
00:34:48You wouldn't think much of me if I did that, would you?
00:34:51No.
00:34:52You couldn't, I guess.
00:34:54I know you.
00:34:55You wouldn't walk out on anybody you...
00:34:59Anybody you loved.
00:35:02Let's say...
00:35:04For my husband and I, liked.
00:35:08Liked?
00:35:12Liked.
00:35:20Are you telling me...
00:35:21That Julian's my husband.
00:35:24After you left Shanghai, Mike, I met Julian and he was sweet to me and nice.
00:35:29And I didn't even know if you'd come back and I was so lonesome for you.
00:35:33Just you, Mike.
00:35:35Frenessy.
00:35:36Are you really saying I've got a chance?
00:35:40It's more than that.
00:35:42Then what's stopping us?
00:35:43Julian's stopping us.
00:35:46We can't run out on him when he's in trouble, can we?
00:35:49You can't, I guess.
00:35:51No.
00:35:54Okay.
00:35:55Can you find out where he is?
00:35:57I know I can.
00:35:58Then I'll try to pull him out of it.
00:36:01And then just the two of us.
00:36:03You and me.
00:36:05Perhaps even tomorrow.
00:36:09Well, how do I know?
00:36:33So simple.
00:36:34It must be a matter of practice.
00:36:35Where's the negative?
00:36:36There is the print.
00:36:37The negative is over there.
00:36:38Could there be more prints?
00:36:39No.
00:36:41This is a new life for Julian March.
00:36:43Do you have the knife on his desk?
00:36:44Yes.
00:36:45Federer says this will secure March's allegiance to us.
00:36:49It's too bad, but he is not yet dead.
00:36:51Only choked a little.
00:36:52Better finish.
00:36:58There, there.
00:36:59We know the car came along here, but not even one of them saw it.
00:37:03Now they all saw it.
00:37:04What are we up against, Inspector?
00:37:06Tell me.
00:37:07What can keep a whole street quiet?
00:37:09Nobody loves us at this end of the town, Major.
00:37:11We must have asked at least 50 people.
00:37:13You didn't ask me.
00:37:16What did you say?
00:37:17I said, you didn't ask me, Inspector.
00:37:20Well?
00:37:21Now, you wouldn't want an informer to go unrewarded, would you, Inspector?
00:37:32Already, you're very lucky, Inspector.
00:37:34I saw the car.
00:37:35I even saw Lee Wong take a picture of it.
00:37:37Lee Wong?
00:37:38That's right, Inspector.
00:38:06The trap has sprung.
00:38:07You sure you don't want me to come into the room, too, Inspector?
00:38:09No, you wait outside on the corridor.
00:38:11We'll follow Bones' instructions to the letter.
00:38:13Yes, sir.
00:38:13But watch him, sir.
00:38:38Callaghan.
00:38:43It's an odd time you're choosing to call, Inspector.
00:38:47Who are you expecting?
00:38:48Why, Inspector, how indiscreet.
00:38:51Actually, I was expecting a lad who sat for his portrait tonight,
00:38:54and maybe one or two of his friends.
00:39:01If you're looking for something in particular, maybe I can help.
00:39:04I'm looking for your friend, Julian March.
00:39:06Oh, what a pity.
00:39:08And him so elusive and all.
00:39:11You've had a good run in Singapore, Callaghan,
00:39:13but this time I think you're at the end of your rope.
00:39:15Where's March?
00:39:16That's something I'd like to know, too.
00:39:18Well, never mind.
00:39:21We'll pick him up.
00:39:22When we do, we'll have the boat with you.
00:39:23For what?
00:39:25Tonight, an officer of the military intelligence
00:39:27was struck down on the way to the airdrome.
00:39:29Someone took his place and kidnapped an atomic scientist
00:39:32by the name of Sean O'Connor.
00:39:34Very few officers in Singapore could impersonate that man.
00:39:38March is one of them.
00:39:39I've heard of Sean O'Connor.
00:39:41Did you ever hear of a girl called Mei Ling?
00:39:43She saw a picture taken
00:39:44of the vice-regal car on Fuchal Road.
00:39:48I went to see the man that took that picture.
00:39:50I'm arresting you for murder, Callaghan.
00:39:53Whose murder?
00:39:54Lee Wong.
00:39:56You and March were in this thing together.
00:39:58You killed Wong to get that picture,
00:39:59the negative of which we've been unable to discover.
00:40:03It was me who sent him back there to be killed.
00:40:07With this inscribed paper knife taken from March's desk.
00:40:11My laboratory tells me that his fingerprints were on it.
00:40:14And yours, too.
00:40:16Now everything's very clear.
00:40:19Very sharp.
00:40:21Shall we go?
00:40:22It's not me you want, Inspector.
00:40:25This is the first I've heard about Wong.
00:40:27Or O'Connor.
00:40:29Then perhaps you could explain this.
00:40:38Come on, let's go, Callaghan.
00:40:40Sergeant Forbes is waiting for you in the hall.
00:41:00Well, it worked.
00:41:02Are you all right, sir?
00:41:03Yes, I'm all right.
00:41:05He'll lead us to O'Connor or March,
00:41:07and then we can hang him.
00:41:08Major Bowen and the others had better not lose him.
00:41:11Let's go, sir.
00:41:15Let's go.
00:42:04Let's go.
00:42:09Sorry, lad.
00:42:45Call it in this entire area.
00:42:46He's in here somewhere.
00:42:48Deploy your men.
00:42:49Seal him up.
00:43:27Who's that?
00:43:28What do you want, Callaghan?
00:43:31Most of all, a shirt.
00:43:33You take a pretty big risk just to get yourself a shirt.
00:43:36You haven't heard anything yet.
00:43:37I'm listening.
00:43:38This time it's me that's wanting information, Johnny.
00:43:41And I want it so bad I'll kill you if I don't get it.
00:43:44So?
00:43:45Mind if I get up?
00:43:47Let's have the pitch.
00:43:48That hiding place in the jungle where you wanted to store your hijack rubber.
00:43:52The village of death.
00:43:53Where your boys saw Guzik and Paderes.
00:43:55Where is it?
00:43:56I was kind of keeping that information for myself.
00:43:58Not anymore, you're not.
00:44:00You'd have to have an angle.
00:44:01I have.
00:44:02My neck.
00:44:03If you're on the run, you don't have many cards left to play, do you?
00:44:05Only this.
00:44:07You wouldn't use it.
00:44:08It's too early in the morning to take you seriously.
00:44:10Where?
00:44:11Where did your boys see Guzik and Paderes?
00:44:13No dice.
00:44:14Better be on your way.
00:44:15You were going to bring me some information, remember?
00:44:19I'll rake it.
00:44:21Why?
00:44:21For what?
00:44:22For information, that's for what.
00:44:23Where is it?
00:44:23Okay, okay.
00:44:24Where?
00:44:25120 miles northwest of here in your e-pool.
00:44:27Tell me more.
00:44:28Let me out of this.
00:44:29I'll talk.
00:45:07Let me out of this.
00:45:10Come on.
00:45:27Julian?
00:45:27No, Mike.
00:45:30Mike, what is it?
00:45:33Hold it.
00:45:47Why did you think it might be Julian?
00:45:49He was here earlier to say goodbye.
00:45:51Julian was here?
00:45:53He changed clothes.
00:45:55Well, didn't you try to stop him?
00:45:56Of course, but I couldn't.
00:46:01How did he explain this, Ann Wong's picture?
00:46:04He said he was smuggling gold.
00:46:06Said he'd be in the jungle for three days,
00:46:08and I was to meet him a week from now in Rangoon.
00:46:11Who are you hiding from?
00:46:12From McCollum's boys, and another fella.
00:46:15Were you followed?
00:46:16Yes, but not here.
00:46:17But they could be looking for me here if they thought of you.
00:46:20Suppose the police do find you with me.
00:46:22Well, they'll be wanting to hang the both of us.
00:46:24You too.
00:46:25You can joke.
00:46:26Tears won't help.
00:46:27They might.
00:46:29We'd better get rid of this uniform, or they will hang us.
00:46:33Wait till you hear the real story, Frennessy.
00:46:36Quite a man.
00:46:38This husband of yours.
00:46:39If there was a war on, I could have a shot.
00:46:41When there was a war on, Sir Charles, I was.
00:46:44You had the entire outcome of this affair resting on this chap Cullin.
00:46:48You let him slip through your fingers on the off chance that he might lead you somewhere.
00:46:52Were you out of your mind?
00:46:54I must take my share of the responsibility, sir.
00:46:56I went along completely with the idea.
00:46:58No, no, no.
00:46:59This was Major Bone's affair.
00:47:01You know, General Brown will probably have you hide for this.
00:47:04Let's hear from you, Bone.
00:47:05What possibly could have possessed you?
00:47:08Callaghan, sir.
00:47:10I'm not sure we're right about Callaghan.
00:47:12Why?
00:47:13The fellow's an out-and-out blackguard.
00:47:16Not according to what I turned up.
00:47:18His name's not Callaghan to start with.
00:47:20It's Corrigan.
00:47:21And when the enemy was here, he gave a very good account of himself.
00:47:24Yes, well, it's now that I'm interested in him, whatever his name is.
00:47:28On his record, he wouldn't commit murder.
00:47:31And he wouldn't act anything like the Sean O'Connor business with...
00:47:34Cullin, what is his record?
00:47:36Well, Callaghan is a combination of beachcomber and soldier of fortune.
00:47:40I've been trying for two years to put my hands on him.
00:47:43He knows the China coast like the back of his hand.
00:47:45He's wanted everywhere, from Batavia to Bias Bay.
00:47:48What for?
00:47:49False pretenses in Shanghai, smuggling in Hong Kong,
00:47:52illegal entry in Canton, and fraud in McHale.
00:47:55Why don't they extradite him?
00:47:57Not enough evidence.
00:47:59What you mean is they really haven't got anything on him at all.
00:48:03That's hardly the record of a murderous traitor.
00:48:06Excuse me, sir.
00:48:07You gentlemen will stop bellowing at each other for a moment.
00:48:09I think we've a visitor.
00:48:10Oh, who is it?
00:48:11I don't know, sir.
00:48:12A strange-looking customer.
00:48:14There's only one chap that I want to see or talk to now.
00:48:17That's General Brown.
00:48:18Look at the time, gentlemen.
00:48:20Two companies of troops out and two squadrons of aircraft.
00:48:23And neither hair nor hide of Mr. Chappacona have they found.
00:48:26There's not a sign of him, between here and Penang.
00:48:30I tell you, gentlemen, every one of you, we must have action.
00:48:34Yes, yes.
00:48:35Mr. Alexis Pederis to see you, Your Excellency.
00:48:38I told the manservant to keep him in the ante room.
00:48:40My apologies to Mr. Alexis Pederis and tell him I will see no one.
00:48:43I believe you'll see me, Sir Charles.
00:48:46How do you do, gentlemen?
00:48:47Permit me.
00:48:50Alexis Pederis, at your service.
00:48:52And what is the meaning of this, sir?
00:48:53Well, you cry for action, Sir Charles.
00:48:57And I've come to supply it.
00:49:00I'm here to discuss the fate of Professor O'Connor.
00:49:04Boner.
00:49:08Now then.
00:49:10I shall be brief.
00:49:11Professor O'Connor is my, uh, guest.
00:49:15I'm keeping him in safe custody.
00:49:17Well, where is he?
00:49:19Where you won't find him, if you were to search for a month.
00:49:24He's for sale, gentlemen.
00:49:26To the Western powers or to the Communists.
00:49:29Are you unhindered, sir?
00:49:31I've been planning this coup for some time.
00:49:33My problem has been, of course,
00:49:35to get my man within geographical reach of both the Allies
00:49:38and, uh, those other possible purchasers at the same time.
00:49:43Now, it's possible here in Malaya,
00:49:45and it's possible along the Iron Curtain itself,
00:49:48and no other place.
00:49:50Why shouldn't you be taken into custody as a maniac, sir?
00:49:54Enough of that, Sir Charles.
00:49:56You have little right to say who is or who is not insane.
00:50:00Uh, to convince you of my authenticity,
00:50:03I, uh, persuaded Professor O'Connor to send you this.
00:50:07He was stubborn, of course, but later on he relented.
00:50:11First class chess player, O'Connor.
00:50:14I'm in the hands of Alexis Paderes, O'Connor.
00:50:17You see, gentlemen, in the old days they kidnapped emperors.
00:50:20Then more recently it's been the custom
00:50:22to hold the children of rich for ransom.
00:50:25Look what I have.
00:50:27The prize of nations.
00:50:29One of the few men on Earth
00:50:31with the secret of the hydrogen bomb.
00:50:33A secret that others would give so very much to learn.
00:50:37I give you 24 hours to get an answer to my terms.
00:50:4024 hours, no longer.
00:50:42And, uh, what are your terms?
00:50:46Five million dollars in gold,
00:50:48payable to me at the Swiss International Bank in Tangiers.
00:50:52Ten days after I receive payment and have left Tangiers,
00:50:55you will learn where to find Professor O'Connor.
00:50:58He will be alive and well.
00:51:01Five million dollars in gold.
00:51:03Precisely.
00:51:04The price, gentlemen, of one day's atomic research.
00:51:08The price of five minutes of atomic war.
00:51:12Um, please see that I am not intruded upon
00:51:16for the next 24 hours.
00:51:18I can sell O'Connor so easily elsewhere.
00:51:21My staff work is a great deal better than General Bryant's.
00:51:26You'll find me at Raffles Hotel.
00:51:28Uh, I...
00:51:31I'm in the Colonial suite.
00:51:34That's ironic, isn't it?
00:51:38All right, Bert, all right.
00:51:41Good day to you, Sir Charles.
00:51:47Phew.
00:51:52He gives us 24 hours.
00:51:55Things never clear up.
00:51:56They've got to be cleared up.
00:51:58And I'm on the hook but good.
00:52:00Three ways.
00:52:01I was with Wong last night.
00:52:03That knife had my prints on it.
00:52:05And I had the picture.
00:52:08Then what can you do?
00:52:09There's only one thing.
00:52:11Get to that village.
00:52:14How?
00:52:15I'm clear in that.
00:52:17And when you do?
00:52:19If you do?
00:52:20Coax the truth out of one of those boys?
00:52:26Suppose...
00:52:27Suppose...
00:52:27Suppose it turned out that...
00:52:30That it was Julian who killed Wong.
00:52:33Well, then that's the way it'd have to turn out.
00:52:37That's a chance we'd have to take.
00:52:39But I don't really think it's that way.
00:52:41I don't think Julian's a murderer.
00:52:44And no matter what else he's done,
00:52:46if he hasn't done that,
00:52:48I'm bringing him back.
00:52:49Safe.
00:52:51But once he's back,
00:52:52he has to face those charges.
00:52:55Well,
00:52:56it's my opinion that when Wong took that picture,
00:53:00everything fell to pieces for Julian.
00:53:02No.
00:53:03I mean,
00:53:05those charges.
00:53:06I know somebody who might fix them
00:53:08if that's all they are.
00:53:09Okay.
00:53:11Let's hope so.
00:53:12I know how you feel about having him safe.
00:53:15And our deal still goes.
00:53:17All the way.
00:53:19I'll slug it out for Julian
00:53:20just like I'd slug it out for myself.
00:53:23Because it wouldn't be good for either of us
00:53:26if we gave him a bad deal.
00:53:32You sold me on that fantasy.
00:53:38You sold me real good.
00:53:42What's wrong?
00:53:45Change your mind?
00:53:47Oh, Mike.
00:53:49Please.
00:53:51I'm worried.
00:53:53It's the first time you say
00:53:55when it seemed I could lose both of you.
00:53:58Take it easy, honey.
00:54:00Both of us you won't lose.
00:54:03Then what can we do?
00:54:05As long as it's day,
00:54:06I can't do a thing.
00:54:10But you can.
00:54:13Go to another telephone
00:54:15and call a gas station
00:54:16on the mainland
00:54:17near Hopang Landing.
00:54:18I'll give you the number.
00:54:19We had him bottled up here
00:54:21in this area
00:54:22bounded by these four streets.
00:54:24Well, it's too late in the day
00:54:25to worry about Callaghan.
00:54:26We're moving heaven and earth.
00:54:28But we have to keep checking on O'Connor
00:54:30and checking on Paderos.
00:54:31Nothing new on Paderos, huh?
00:54:32No, except that he came here from Rome.
00:54:34The other raffles will tell
00:54:35about four months.
00:54:36His papers say that he's an investor.
00:54:38Meaning anything and nothing.
00:54:43McCollum here.
00:54:45Oh, yes, sir.
00:54:47Yes, sir, at nine o'clock.
00:54:49Yes, he's here with me now.
00:54:52Very good, sir.
00:54:54There's a conference
00:54:55at Government House tonight.
00:54:57The military force,
00:54:58civil service, you and I.
00:55:00They're sealing the peninsula,
00:55:02the border, the coast,
00:55:03the air, everything.
00:55:04If, uh, I'm not there,
00:55:07you might make my excuses
00:55:08when they call the roll, will you?
00:55:09Well, where'd you be?
00:55:10Oh, I really botched things up
00:55:12letting Callaghan get away and all.
00:55:13I sort of feel like
00:55:14trying to put things back in order.
00:55:16Oh, nonsense.
00:55:17Callaghan couldn't have gone through us
00:55:19or over us.
00:55:21So somewhere in here,
00:55:24he must have gone under us.
00:56:01The boat will be waiting at the foot of the steps by the fishing wharf.
00:56:04If you're stopped by an MTB on the way across,
00:56:06wings said to go over the side and stay underwater.
00:56:08For how long?
00:56:09What about the car?
00:56:11One of Hussain's men will be in the palm grove with it near the landing.
00:56:14There's something else I'll be needing.
00:56:15A gun.
00:56:16I should have remembered.
00:56:18I can't go back to my place.
00:56:20They'll have it covered for sure.
00:56:25Julian gave it to me.
00:56:26Long ago.
00:56:28I...
00:56:29Taught me to use it, too.
00:56:31Well, good for Julian.
00:56:33How will he get to the waterfront?
00:56:34The same way I baffled McCullum and his boys in getting here.
00:56:38Well, time to say goodbye.
00:56:41Yes.
00:56:43Come back to me soon.
00:56:46Bring Julian.
00:56:48I'll come back.
00:56:49He'll be with me.
00:56:54Frenessy.
00:56:56There were other girls.
00:56:59Lots of them.
00:57:01But for me, you were the only one who was way up there on that hill.
00:57:06The only one who was straight.
00:57:08From beginning to end.
00:57:10Mike.
00:57:13Oh, my God.
00:57:34The only one who went here.
00:57:34Once there was a new one.
00:57:34I messed up.
00:57:34It was a days to come.
00:57:34It was a snow out rather.
00:57:38But the first.
00:57:40That was very exciting.
00:57:40It's funny.
00:57:42I've got to make an old one.
00:57:44I thought it was a town for him.
00:58:07Callahan, that's me.
00:58:09Must hurry to catch Tide at Hoping Landing.
00:58:11Thanks.
00:58:13Oh, my God.
00:58:23Hoping Landing, huh?
00:58:26Well, I'll be there afore you.
00:58:58Car coming, George.
00:59:12Who's in command here?
00:59:13I am, sir.
00:59:14I'm Major Bone, Military Intelligence.
00:59:16Yes, sir.
00:59:17I've just come from Hoping Landing.
00:59:19Has a fellow passed through here in the last ten minutes driving an old, open car?
00:59:22No, sir.
00:59:23Oh, I took the wrong talk.
00:59:25He has to be on the coast road.
00:59:26Look, Sergeant.
00:59:27Get on the wireless.
00:59:28There's a roadblock on the coast road between Amgong and Kota Lumpur.
00:59:31Tell them I'm on my way.
00:59:33Tell them that the man driving the car, S-32659, has to be let through.
00:59:39Have you got that?
00:59:39S-32659.
00:59:41Yes, sir.
00:59:41Where's the nearest track through to the coast?
00:59:43About two miles north from the right, sir.
00:59:45All right, Tommy.
00:59:53Here he comes.
01:00:03What's the travel?
01:00:04No travel.
01:00:05No travel.
01:00:05Everything's in order.
01:00:06Just a routine check.
01:00:08What's your destination?
01:00:09Van Diong.
01:00:10Everything's in order.
01:00:12Any more roadblocks?
01:00:13Not standing.
01:00:14You might strike a patrol.
01:00:15Go ahead.
01:00:16Go ahead.
01:00:22That was the man, all right.
01:00:24I hope Major Bo knows what he's doing.
01:00:37You're ten minutes behind him, Major.
01:00:39Radio ahead.
01:00:40It's all near the road.
01:00:41Tell them to be on the lookout for him.
01:00:42There's a squad near Bandiong and another one about ten miles south of Ipu.
01:00:46See that they're warned.
01:00:47If he leaves the road before I catch him, I want to know about it.
01:00:50Yes, sir.
01:01:06That was him, Harry.
01:01:07Bandiong patrol to Major Bone.
01:01:09Bandiong patrol to Major Bone.
01:01:10Over.
01:01:12Getting you.
01:01:13Over.
01:01:14He's just past us now, Major.
01:01:15As hard as he could go.
01:01:16Over.
01:01:17Watch for me, soldier.
01:01:18I want to know how far he is ahead.
01:01:21Over.
01:01:22You're coming up on us now.
01:01:24He's about a minute in front of you.
01:01:25Over.
01:01:26Good.
01:01:27Out.
01:01:29Heading for Ipu.
01:01:56Wood.
01:02:00Over.
01:02:06Over.
01:02:12Wood.
01:02:15Wood slump.
01:02:18Wood slump.
01:02:20Morning.
01:02:22Morning.
01:02:27Let's go.
01:02:56Bone to Ipru Patrol.
01:02:59Bone to Ipru Patrol.
01:03:01Over.
01:03:03Ipru Patrol.
01:03:05Come in.
01:03:06Bone to Ipru Patrol.
01:03:08Over.
01:03:22Ipru Patrol.
01:03:24Looking for someone?
01:03:27I wouldn't move, Mac.
01:03:30The name's Bone.
01:03:31Major Ian Bone.
01:03:32Yeah, I know you.
01:03:33You're the character that organized that hunt from Foo Chow Road last night.
01:03:36You're a long way from Foo Chow Road, aren't you?
01:03:38But you caught up.
01:03:39At last.
01:03:40Don't you think it's about time?
01:03:41You can say that again.
01:03:43Now, Major, you're not taking me back, you know.
01:03:45Not yet, anyway.
01:03:47If I knew just what to make of you, perhaps I wouldn't want to.
01:03:50Or even have to.
01:03:51Whatever you're making me, Major.
01:03:53I'm going in after a fellow called Guzik.
01:03:56Well, where do you stand?
01:03:58Right where you do.
01:03:59On very thin ice.
01:04:01You know, I was supposed to bring you in, not follow you.
01:04:04Is O'Connor in the village?
01:04:06I think so.
01:04:07Probably an old shack at the other end of town.
01:04:10What made you think you could take them alone?
01:04:13Ah, it's a little pistol practice I'm needing.
01:04:16Should we go, Major?
01:04:18Why, certainly.
01:04:19After you.
01:04:20Uh, this way.
01:04:28All right, men.
01:04:29Fall out.
01:04:30Try Major Bone again.
01:04:32Ifu Patrol calling Bone.
01:04:34Ifu Patrol calling Bone.
01:04:36Over.
01:04:40It's no use.
01:04:41We're running out of juice.
01:04:42Are you sure you're all right?
01:04:44I can get everything.
01:04:45It's Major Bowen's hat that's no use.
01:04:47Hmm.
01:04:48I don't like this much.
01:04:48He was heading this way when he turned off the Ifu Road.
01:04:52All right, men.
01:04:53Let's move.
01:04:53Oh, what a man.
01:04:56Oh, what a man.
01:05:02You can follow me now, Major.
01:05:04I'm sorry.
01:05:30I am sorry.
01:05:31But I'm sorry.
01:05:33There's a lad up there on the roof that hasn't eaten their food.
01:05:42By the way...
01:05:44Huh?
01:05:45I'll never get any credit for it, you know.
01:05:48But I told McCollum he didn't understand the Irish.
01:05:51Should we go in after a corner together?
01:05:55Right.
01:06:11The lad on the roof is mine.
01:06:12You get him, I'll take the sentry.
01:06:35Oh, he's got him.
01:06:36Oh, yeah.
01:06:37Oh, yeah.
01:06:38Right?
01:06:38I'll give it to you.
01:06:39I'll give it to you.
01:06:47There's four more in the hut on the left.
01:06:48Cover me.
01:06:49Right.
01:07:26Let's go.
01:08:02Oh
01:08:04Time we heard from Paderis. Take it easy. We'll hear from him. I can't stand this waiting if Wong hadn't
01:08:11taken that picture
01:08:12We've paid him off in full, but if anything goes wrong, I'll hang too. I was hired to get O
01:08:17'Connor from the airport not to hang
01:08:19Bye-bye
01:08:44Hold it
01:08:49That yell, what was it? You're kind of nervous. What was it? A leopard eating a monkey
01:09:12Mucho! Understand?
01:09:19You think they might have heard that yell in the shack? It's going to be a little sticky if they
01:09:22did
01:09:26Hey, what do you got there? Grenades
01:09:29Oh, fused? Uh-huh
01:09:31Where did you learn to handle grenades? Well, my father was a general in the Irish Republican Army
01:09:35My father was a colonel in the Black and Thans
01:09:37Well, as they say, rank is everything in life. Next stop, the shack
01:09:40Next stop, Sean O'Connor. You go to this side. I'll take the other
01:09:43Let's go
01:10:00That was no monkey
01:10:01Take your position. Shoot anything and see a wolf
01:10:09I'll get you fixed up there
01:10:11I would in trouble
01:10:13I should have seen him
01:10:15We both should have seen him
01:10:26There are two of them coming out from behind the Jeep
01:10:28Get him! Get him!
01:10:36Get him!
01:10:40Well, you're on your own, Mouse
01:10:43Good luck, soldier
01:10:45I can't leave you like this
01:10:46You can't do anything else but leave me
01:10:50I'll wait here for you
01:10:51I'll be back to get you, one way or another
01:10:54I won't move
01:10:56I'll be right here when you get back
01:10:59Yeah
01:11:02Yeah, sure you will
01:11:08See anything move?
01:11:10No
01:11:10Go out and see what's happening
01:11:11I'm not going through that door
01:11:13I give the orders
01:11:14No, if I leave this shack, I'm heading straight for the jungle
01:11:17If you see anything move, shoot
01:11:21Getting through?
01:11:22Yes, sir
01:11:23EPO patrol to brigade
01:11:25EPO patrol to brigade
01:11:26Over
01:11:27And your patrol over
01:11:29EPO patrol moving north to investigate shooting
01:11:32Estimated
01:11:331 mile
01:11:34168 degrees
01:11:36From grid reference
01:11:38224
01:11:39227
01:11:40Over
01:11:41Somebody's right towards us
01:11:43Just one man
01:11:43Get him! Get him!
01:11:45Get him!
01:12:04Whoever it is, we can't see him now
01:12:06He's too close to the wall
01:12:07Are there others?
01:12:07Can you see any others?
01:12:16Where is he?
01:12:17Where can he be?
01:12:36That was the army out there
01:12:38That was the army out there
01:12:38I...
01:13:14I'm not gonna do it
01:13:14If that doesn't matter
01:13:20How's he sure
01:13:20They don't even look so
01:13:20They'll be very happy
01:13:20He was happy
01:13:20And it was like
01:13:21That's not funny
01:13:21I want to be having a cut
01:13:22No matter if he's around
01:13:22Who am I?
01:13:46Hello, Julie.
01:13:48Am I intruding?
01:13:53Be careful with those guns, gentlemen.
01:13:57What's the matter, Guzik?
01:13:59Is it the shock of your life I'm giving you?
01:14:02Raise your hands.
01:14:04It'd be a pleasure.
01:14:07The pins are out.
01:14:09They only have to fall out of my hand.
01:14:11Anyone care to let fly?
01:14:14Guzik!
01:14:15He has the right idea.
01:14:18If I drop these things, they'll blow the four of you to kingdom come.
01:14:21And you too.
01:14:22I'm willing. Are you?
01:14:26Where is Sean O'Connor?
01:14:33I'm gonna drop him.
01:14:35He's in there!
01:14:36O'Connor?
01:14:38I'm in here.
01:14:40So you know he's still alive.
01:14:42O'Connor's gonna walk out of this place.
01:14:44Through the village, through the jungle, to my car.
01:14:48You can guess the rest, can't you?
01:14:50We wait here until he sends someone back with troops.
01:14:53The terrorist would pay.
01:14:55He would make you rich for life.
01:14:57What's in it for you, Mike?
01:14:58O'Connor's life doesn't mean anything to you.
01:15:00Maybe.
01:15:01But Frennessy's life and the way she lives means a lot to me.
01:15:05And right now she wants you out of this.
01:15:07Safely out.
01:15:09Throw those grenades out of the window and we can all get out of this.
01:15:11Not until I find out who killed Wong.
01:15:16Guzik did it.
01:15:17And you too?
01:15:18No, I didn't know they were gonna kill Wong.
01:15:20But you know where they could find him.
01:15:22Guzik knifed him.
01:15:24Mr. Marsh, you talk too much.
01:15:26Let him talk.
01:15:27What difference does it make?
01:15:28The show is over.
01:15:30There's only one way out.
01:15:32Only one way out, Julian.
01:15:34Only O'Connor could save your neck now.
01:15:38Guzik, go get O'Connor.
01:15:40But he'll kill him.
01:15:41Bring O'Connor out here.
01:15:43But he'll kill him, I tell you.
01:15:44Only if you let him.
01:15:46Get moving, Guzik.
01:15:47Now.
01:15:49But he's a complete fanatic.
01:15:50He'll never let you get O'Connor alive.
01:15:52This is your chance, Julian.
01:15:54You're one way out.
01:15:55Stop Guzik or hang.
01:15:57Take the chance, Julian.
01:16:05Now you, Mike.
01:16:06They won't hang me because you'll be dead.
01:16:08I'll be the rescuer of O'Connor.
01:16:09I'll be a national hero.
01:16:11Stand back, Julian.
01:16:12After you, there won't be any more.
01:16:13And Frennessy will never know.
01:16:15Frennessy knows you can't be a hero.
01:16:23On the double.
01:16:31Hold it up.
01:16:31Hold it up in there.
01:16:32Hold it up.
01:16:33All right, Ben.
01:16:34Get that block.
01:16:41O'Connor?
01:16:50That sounds as though you'd be in good hands.
01:16:53They'll bring you too.
01:16:56And I wouldn't be making a good hero, Evie.
01:17:11So long, Julian.
01:17:26Mike.
01:17:27Oh, Mike.
01:17:28They told me you were back.
01:17:30I just came from someone close to the Governor General.
01:17:33They promised to fix it so Julian will only be charged with impersonating an officer.
01:17:37You see, I knew you'd bring him back safe.
01:17:42I have to talk fast before Julian gets here, don't I?
01:17:46In Shanghai, after you left, I had a little problem of earning a living.
01:17:55Finally, I discovered that for a girl who had no parents, no profession or training, there were certain problems.
01:18:08I solved those problems in the only way I could.
01:18:14Julian, when he came along, knew about that.
01:18:19Yet he...
01:18:20He said he loved me and he asked me to marry.
01:18:24Oh, Mike.
01:18:26Our orchard, our plum blossoms, they were nice.
01:18:29But imagine, Mike, if I'd waited for you and then I told you.
01:18:32How you'd have detested me for not being as you remembered.
01:18:36How I eventually would have detested you.
01:18:41That's why I lied to you the other night.
01:18:45That's why I love Julian.
01:18:47Because he...
01:18:48He loves me as I really am.
01:18:53When will he be here?
01:18:55He won't be here.
01:19:08How did he die?
01:19:10Quickly.
01:19:13You killed him.
01:19:14He really killed himself.
01:19:17I could have pulled him through.
01:19:19I would have stood up for him.
01:19:21Lied for him.
01:19:22Covered him.
01:19:24You killed him.
01:19:26I only did what I had to.
01:19:29You murdered him.
01:19:32He could make you love him.
01:19:34But when it came to the showdown, he turned traitor.
01:19:37He tried to kill me.
01:19:40You...
01:19:42You don't breathe a word against him.
01:19:46Picnics.
01:19:47Plum blossom.
01:19:49Way up on a hill am I.
01:19:51Looking at me as if I was a saint.
01:19:54Couldn't you see?
01:19:56The way I looked.
01:19:57The way I sang what I was.
01:19:59No.
01:20:02That gun I gave you.
01:20:04You didn't think I learned to keep that under my pillow before I ever met Julian.
01:20:08How do you think I could be so friendly with someone close to the governor?
01:20:14You...
01:20:15You weren't in love with me.
01:20:18You were in love with some goofy 18 year old.
01:20:21A lily white doll in your own mind.
01:20:24Will Julian love me?
01:20:32He'd come.
01:20:37Until I die, I'll love him.
01:20:42And you...
01:20:44You murdered him for me.
01:20:47Well, this is all you'll ever get of me.
01:20:49Murder him! Murder him! Murder him!
01:20:51Get out! Get out! Get out!
01:21:21Good evening, Mr. Callahan.
01:21:23It is said you are in need of a friend.
01:21:25Do not worry.
01:21:27You are the luck of your father and mother.
01:21:30Your luck is here.
01:21:31Take a chance, Mr. Callahan.
01:21:33Thanks, Mei Ling. Not now.
01:21:36Maybe tomorrow.
01:21:41Love is a white bird.
01:21:43Yet you cannot buy her.
01:21:52Good evening, Mr. Callahan.
01:21:54Make a light.
01:21:55We'll walk a little bit.
01:21:55We'll be ages too early.
01:21:58Gonna be sick!
01:21:59Go!
01:22:01Go!
