1:00 I'm going to go.
1:25 Is it going any better, Borden?
1:28 This isn't a battle, it's a slaughter.
1:32 Our men didn't have a chance.
1:34 They never had, do you hear me?
1:36 - There, boy, steady now. - But you don't understand. We planned a surprise attack, didn't we?
1:40 And yet we were the ones surprised.
1:42 Our men walked into a deliberate trap. The Germans knew our objective and our zero hour exactly.
1:49 Well?
1:50 I'd better call up headquarters.
1:53 *throwing*
1:59 Major Andrews speaking.
2:00 This is Captain Stewart, 28th Division.
2:04 Our attack has been repulsed along the entire sector, sir.
2:08 I have to report a complete failure.
2:11 Send in your casualty reporter.
2:16 Captain Stewart reports, sir, that the 28th was beaten back too.
2:20 The Germans must have known of our plans.
2:22 before our own junior offices.
2:25 Captain Lama.

2:27 Everything that's done here.
2:29 all our orders.
2:30 An entire line of campaign, known immediately to the enemy.
2:33 For the last year, every time one of our plans is miscarried, it's been blamed on Strindler.
2:38 Well...
2:40 He must be caught.
2:41 But sir, we're not exactly certain what he looks like.
2:44 But we do expect some results very soon. And until then...
2:47 We are supposed to let the Germans go on learning anything and everything they please. If you'll permit me, sir.
2:53 What about William's?
2:54 He's the best spy we have, but he's the keystone of our whole system in Germany.
2:59 We can't afford to bring him back here. We must bring him back.
3:02 It's well-known that Strindler is working in this vicinity.
3:05 Obviously we shall need our shuddest operator to catch him.
3:09 Williams is the man for the job.
3:11 Notify Williams immediately.
3:13 Yes.
3:13 I met Joe Andrews.
3:15 Instruct Commander Phelps to have a pilot stand by.
3:18 to pick up Williams from behind the German lines.
3:20 Very good, Doctor.
3:26 Uh, Bennett.
3:27 Williams will be waiting for you at the north edge of the woods.
3:30 Outside Bummer Hill at nine o'clock.
3:33 He'll be wearing a white smock so that you can identify him from the air.
3:36 Understand? Yes, sir.
3:39 Good luck.
3:39 Thank you, sir.
3:40 Cheerio, Phelps. Good night, Major.
3:44 Back to headquarters.
3:50 Good luck to your trip. Thank you, sir.
3:53 A jolly little assignment, isn't it?
3:55 Not an ounce of trouble.
3:56 Are you sure you want to do it, Bennett?
3:58 Of course, sir.
3:59 democracy and all that, you know.
4:02 Well, you push on before dawn tomorrow.
4:04 You follow the railroad tracks up the Selbar Valley,
4:07 I will put you above Barmorell at nine o'clock.
4:09 White water.
4:10 Good luck.
4:25 Oh.
4:36 Mm-hmm.
4:59 Gips here.
5:02 Where are you?
5:07 Mrs. von Strändler.
5:22 Notify the air circus that we have work tomorrow at dawn. Whoa!
5:27 Come on.
6:55 I've got to pull right in Saranac. He has a blinking chance in the world. Look at him flip-flopping man.
7:13 God!
7:58 I'll make sure the letter to your mother is posted before I leave.
8:05 This is Alfred Bennett.
8:06 - 9:30 Cumberland Terrace.
8:09 Please.
8:10 Don't go away.
8:11 - I don't know.
8:12 I've got to Frank.
8:14 You've got to be.
8:15 Come on now, close your eyes.
8:18 I'm going to go.
8:21 Won't you?
8:23 Come back.
8:26 Why, Hannah?
8:29 I can't explain.
8:30 I see.
8:31 Keep your eyes closed.
8:34 You know...
8:34 Yeah, I'm...
8:36 I think I'm
8:37 falling in love with you.
8:39 I'm afraid you'll talk to me.
8:42 Try to go to step.
9:17 Finishing the east, one.
9:25 Well, then, Paul Norby.
9:26 Have their own. Addies.
9:31 A recognition for your past services to the Father, Lunt.
9:34 And because of the success of your mission at the English-based hospital at Moranay...
9:39 His Imperial Majesty has ordered me to confer upon you...
9:42 this decoration.
9:46 This, my frulein,
9:47 is the most distinguished honor.
9:51 I am very grateful.
9:52 You have studied these directions?
9:54 Yes, Excellency.
9:55 Repeat them.
9:56 I will proceed to Kiel and report to the commander of submarine U-53.
10:00 He will conduct me to the North Irish coast.
10:02 From there, I will make my way to Liverpool to Henry Thompson,
10:04 who will take care of the London End. Good.
10:06 Hi, Capitan.
10:08 destroy the directions.
10:09 Pretty sure now, Weston.
10:10 Please, set up!
10:13 Henry Thompson is highly esteemed by the British officials.
10:16 He should have no difficulty.
10:18 nor arouse any suspicion in placing you in the Arthur Bennet home.
10:21 Arthur Bennett.
10:22 Yes. Anything wrong?
10:24 No, certainly not, Excellency.
10:25 It's just that you startled me with the name of the new cabinet minister.
10:28 While in London, you will take your orders, directly or indirectly, whichever he may choose, from Franz Strandwald.
10:35 Strangely.
10:36 All in question is this.
10:37 No.
10:39 It's just that I thought that he was in France. Strenweiss in London has been for several months.
10:43 The British would give an entire army a car to capture him.
10:46 And all the while, he's another so high noses.
10:49 Constantly communicating with us by wireless to Seybrook.
10:52 I feel very proud, Herr Baron.
10:54 I'm honored to be chosen to work with Strindley.
10:57 May I ask, Excellency, what is my objective in this mission?
11:00 The objective is to deal a death blow to the Allies.
11:04 Aside from Strandler,
11:05 That's all any of us know.
11:07 That's a new password.
11:09 Yes, Herr Beryl?
11:10 Immer vorwärts. Immer vorwärts.
11:13 Always forward.
11:14 The answer?
11:15 Niemals zurück
11:16 Niemals zurück.
11:18 Never backward.
11:19 Victory must be ours.
11:21 We have but one objective.
11:23 to win the war.
11:25 Even if we have to fight the entire world.
11:28 No nation, no group of nations can stop our advance.
11:32 the advance of German culture.
11:34 We are destined to conquer the world.
11:38 If our prize was taken from us,
11:40 A new leader will arise.
11:42 I may not live to see it.
11:44 someday.
11:46 Someday...
11:47 Germany will own the world.
11:57 Stradler should be pleased with your placing me in the Bennet hole.
12:01 You've arranged things very cleverly, Mr. Thompson.
12:03 Oh, it wasn't a very difficult assignment.
12:05 No one suspects me in the slightest.
12:08 How did you convince the Bennets that I should be in their home?
12:10 by telling them the very sad story of Francis Hawtry.
12:14 About her poor old father.
12:16 and her terrible hardships.
12:18 and her amazing escape from those German brutes.
12:22 By the time I'd finished, I had old Bennet on the verge of tears.
12:26 Henry Thompson.
12:27 Aside from myself,
12:29 You're the nicest spy I know.
12:31 think about it.
12:32 Now, in the Bennet home,
12:34 In addition to Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, there's a brother George and a daughter Dorothy.
12:38 Wasn't...
12:40 Wasn't there a son?
12:42 Yes.
12:43 Frank, I think his name is, but he's in France now, in the Air Force.
12:48 We shall be there in a moment.
12:51 Nervous?
12:52 No.
12:53 How to talk.
12:55 I'm going to go.
13:08 Well, I do hope you'll be happy here. I'm sure I will.
13:11 You've been so kind.
13:14 Just wait, will you?
13:26 We miss it
13:27 Miss Hortree and Mr. Thompson to see Mr. Bennet. But of course, Monsieur Mademoiselle.
13:32 Pleased to come in?
13:39 This way, please.
13:44 Permit me, sir.
13:48 you are expect by Monsieur Benfrey.
13:51 Hello, Thompson. I thought I heard your voice.
13:53 - Mr. Bennet, George, may I present Miss Francis Hortrey? - How do you do?
13:57 We've been expecting you...
13:59 Oh, Valda.
13:59 Will you tell Mrs. Bennet that our guests have arrived? At once, Monsieur.
14:03 Shall we go into the library?
14:06 Go on.
14:08 Won't you sit down, Miss Hodgrey?
14:11 Mr. Thompson?
14:15 We're so glad you were able to come to us.
14:16 We hope you'll be very happy here.
14:19 I understand you've had quite a time, but in Germany...
14:22 George.
14:23 It's all right, really. I don't mind talking about it.
14:26 I think this is wonderfully kind of you, Bennett.
14:28 Not at all.
14:29 As I told you.
14:30 Miss Watry and her father were interned in Germany from the very beginning of the war.
14:34 They were treated like cattle.
14:35 wasn't so bad really until
14:37 My father was accused of being an English spy.
14:40 They didn't bother to say how or what he could have spied upon.
14:43 They condemned him to death anyway.
14:45 On July 14th at 8 o'clock in the morning.
14:48 I saw my father dragged from his cell.
14:51 and shot.
14:55 My dear.
14:56 This is Miss France's pottery.
14:58 Miss Hartree, my wife.
15:00 - Welcome, my dear. - Thank you so much.
15:03 And our daughter, Dorothy.
15:05 I'm very happy to know you. You'll be a welcome addition to our family.
15:08 I'll have your thing sent up to your room right away. Oh, they're still at the Savoy.
15:13 You see, I couldn't convince Miss Hortree that she'd be really welcome.
15:16 Well, I'm sure she understands now, don't you?
15:19 I do.
15:20 Bell it off.
15:25 May we, madame? Miss Hortrey's luggage is at the Savoy. See that it's brought here. At once, madame.
15:34 Fear the America.
15:51 They will help, my poor cunt.
15:53 - Hey, Monsieur Bennett. - Yes, Valda.
15:56 If holy I could march with them.
15:58 fight with them.
16:00 Amen.
16:01 Come on.
16:02 Pardon, Monsieur.
16:11 Valdos, this is very tragic.
16:14 That bear that wooded his cheek.
16:16 He, a civilian, got that and two bullets in his leg from the Germans.
16:21 His wife and baby were murdered before his eyes.
16:24 Colonel Yates heard about Baldur's case.
16:26 asked me to help him by giving him this job.
16:30 I've never regretted it.
16:35 Well, they're certainly a fine bunch of fellows.
16:38 Had to watch them.
16:41 More food for German guns.
16:43 God grant they will be the last.
16:46 My dear, you're quite exhausted.
16:48 Let me take you to your room.
16:52 Mr. Bennet.
16:53 I'm so grateful.
16:56 - Mr. Thompson, I shan't see you again? - No.
16:59 But I shall write to you and let you know how things are going in America.
17:02 Good luck.
17:05 Good-bye.
17:06 See you at dinner.
17:07 Well, I must run along. My trunk's aren't packed yet, and the boat train leaves at seven. Well, have a good trip, Thompson.
17:12 Thank you, I shall.
17:13 Good luck to you both. Thanks a lot.
17:15 Look after Miss Hortree.
17:19 fine man, Thompson.
17:28 Pardon, mademoiselle. I take so long.
17:31 How do you?
17:34 Come on.
17:36 Madness, I wouldn't have it.
17:38 I am very happy she stays.
17:41 Something else?
17:53 Valdor.
17:54 Maybe that was it?
17:57 Mr. Bennett was telling me that you, too, are a victim of German cruelty. I might be sure.
18:03 When I think what they have done to my country, my wife, my baby,
18:07 You certainly have every right to feel bitter, but...
18:10 Don't you think that there might be people in Germany who feel equally better toward the Allies?
18:14 - Toraz.
18:15 We do not kill women and babies.
18:18 No, but...
18:20 the Germans might feel that
18:22 Anything warrants victory.
18:28 That was helpful.
18:29 need anything.
18:31 You have only to push the bell at this...
18:34 I will calm it one.
18:37 Oh.
18:38 And if Mademoiselle will remember...
18:41 always to push the availability, forward motion,
18:43 It will be more easy.
18:44 It is somewhat stuck.
18:46 Please to remember
18:47 Always.
18:48 only.
18:53 Always forward, did you say? Oui, mademoiselle.
18:57 Odd sort of a bell, isn't it?
18:59 No.
19:01 Mademoiselle, perhaps, has had experience with the bell that works?
19:05 some other way
19:07 No, never any other way. Never backwards.
19:18 L.A. Bondor Bia.
19:20 And you?
19:21 Carl Schiller, 7.
19:22 fatherland.
19:23 Better than Coogler told me of you.
19:25 It would be well if Baron Kublai
19:27 I told you not to show sympathy for Germany's.
19:30 - You're right. - Even when we talk like this, always I'll be.
19:36 only way to be someone you are not.
19:38 is to be that person always, even in the presence of Fred.
19:42 But tell me, Suley. Found her.
19:45 Baldock.
19:46 When may I meet Franz Strendly?
19:48 That I cannot answer.
19:51 where is he
19:53 I do not know. He trusts no one.
19:55 My orders are received and my report sent by another.
19:58 We'll transmit them, Mr.
20:00 But I'm so anxious to meet him.
20:04 His work, his method.
20:06 A genius.
20:07 A symbol of blind duty.
20:11 Or a complete patriot.
20:14 That's
20:16 He has no soul, no conscience, nothing.
20:21 It came you or me.
20:23 for duty.
20:28 I don't know.
20:30 Come on.
20:41 Call me Colonel Gates. I did about that.
20:48 Merci, monsieur. Merci.
20:52 You are expected by Monsieur Berry in the library.
20:57 Hello, Yates.
20:59 You're right on time.
21:00 These have all been checked.
21:02 Better put them in the safe.
21:05 Crichton, will you pick them up in the morning?
21:08 - Take them to the war office, Bals. - Certainly, Colonel Yates.
21:33 All these materials get across the channel safely? Without a hitch. Not stored close to any other munitions, are they? No, sir.
21:41 There's too great a concentration to take any chances.
21:43 I promise.
21:48 Volo.
21:51 Be mad, Mississette.
21:57 The heel on my shoe seems to be loose.
22:00 I want a good dictionary. Oh, and of course, mademoiselle.
22:03 I
22:09 You didn't tell me what my duties are.
22:12 You will visit the office
22:14 Been it.
22:14 at least twice a week.
22:17 There you will find his secretary in this restau.
22:21 She of Kurtz.
22:23 I had, of course, but through information.
22:26 I don't know, Kurtz.
22:27 You will.
22:29 You are familiar with Wolfgang telegraphic code.
22:32 I'll do it.
22:35 Deutschland über alles.
22:37 Good.
22:39 As a rule, there are people in Bennett's office.
22:42 So in case it is not empty...
22:44 Miss Rizdorong will click off the information and the keys of her typewriter.
22:48 I understand.
22:50 I may have work for you tonight.
22:53 Colonel Yates, here at the British Intelligence Department.
22:57 He's in the library with Monsieur Bennett.
22:59 I think that below now.
23:01 Then dinner will be served at eight presads.
23:26 I'll give her little girl, son. That's for you, sonny. That's all I'm going to give. Now, but let's stop him standing here giving out milk. All right, now, I'll be around again tomorrow, and that's all I'm going to give today.
23:37 Good afternoon, sir. Bonjour, monsieur.
23:40 We have one quart extra.
23:42 Today.
23:43 All right, sir.
23:48 Well, I'm Helena, right?
23:51 this afternoon.
23:52 That is good.
23:54 Do you have any further information about the MERS offensive? So far, no people.
24:00 We must know the exact...
24:01 location of the Mer's munition dumps.
24:04 I think I have that for you.
24:07 To a night.
24:17 I'm going to go.
24:30 Hi.
24:32 Oh
24:35 I'm going to go.
24:48 Oh.
25:01 What are you doing?
25:03 I found out there were some important papers in that safe. So?
25:07 I thought you should have it.
25:08 I wanted to get them for you.
25:10 Mademoiselle will pardon when I need help. I ask for it.
25:14 You go back upstairs. I'm sorry, Mrs. Stu. Go at once.
25:39 Come on.
25:45 Good evening, Mr. Bennett.
25:48 Oh, hello.
25:54 My dear, what are you doing down here at this time of night?
25:56 Hi.
25:57 I came after a book.
25:59 I couldn't sleep.
26:00 I just can't realize that I'm free.
26:03 I understand.
26:04 But you'd better run along upstairs, or you'll catch cold.
26:07 I'm so tired, I just can't rest. You must try.
26:12 You'll be yourself again in a few days. Good night, my dear.
26:15 Good night.
26:24 Here.
26:26 What is it?
26:28 Amen.
26:28 I'm so sorry.
26:30 I guess I am exhausted.
26:32 I'll be all right now. You poor child. Come along. I'll take you upstairs.
26:37 Well...
26:38 That is necessary, really it isn't. Now, now, no more arguments.
26:42 Come on.
26:44 Very kind of life.
27:14 I'm
27:19 Evening, Governor. Good evening, Monsieur. Nice night, ain't it? Oui, Monsieur.
27:24 It is a very nice nut.
27:26 Good Lord, Kenneth.
27:44 What's new?
27:45 Plenty. We have a copy of the latest English plans.
27:48 Come on.
27:48 Start the generators. Go.
28:12 Mr. Smyers, I've met a few steps. I've got a right now, I've got a heart.
28:17 Then let's make this is the courage, sir.
28:20 Well?
28:22 Preparatory to a wide advance, the Allies have concentrated large stores of munitions
28:27 At Ponloir.
28:29 Set work to all air trumps.
28:31 That munition stuff must be destroyed. Who will it get on?
28:36 Come on.
29:33 I...
29:43 - Not noon. - Not noon, Miss Hawthorne.
29:45 It's a fair the way of having, isn't it? Yes, indeed.
29:47 Is Mr. Bennett busy, Miss Wisden?
29:49 Mr George is with him now, and then this gentleman has an appointment.
29:52 Oh, perhaps I'd better run along then. Why don't you wait a moment? I'll see if we can squeeze you in.
29:56 You'll find the latest magazines on the table.
30:03 Beg your pardon, Mr. Bennett.
30:05 Your afternoon paper, sir. And Miss Hortry is outside.
30:09 Oh, ask her to wait, will you please? Yes, sir.
30:13 That's all.
30:14 George, listen to this.
30:16 What?
30:17 Any belief that even one person survived among the 740 aboard the ill-fated steamship Victoria was dispelled today.
30:24 Authorities hold that the ship must have been torpedoed without warning by a German submarine.
30:29 This would account...
30:31 What a fearful thing.
30:34 Poor Thompson.
30:36 He told me before he boarded the Victoria that...
30:39 He didn't feel right about the trip.
30:41 England's lost a good man in Thompson.
30:44 So they say.
30:47 George.
30:48 Did jobs never strike you as being a very rich man?
30:50 No, I should say comfortable, but certainly not rich. So he appeared to me.
30:55 His books show him to have been immensely wealthy.
30:58 Oh,
30:59 wealth mostly acquired within the past twelve months. You don't say.
31:05 That's strange.
31:11 Mr. Arthur Bennett's role, please.
31:13 Miss Riston here.
31:16 Oh, yes.
31:17 Yes, Mr. Benn is looking into that matter.
31:21 About an hour ago, you say?
31:23 Yes.
31:24 They caught our man Kurtz at the Orient docks.
31:26 Have the message relayed immediately.
31:28 Very good, sir. I'll see that he gets word.
31:31 Goodbye, sir.
32:26 Goodbye. I'll see you later.
32:28 I hope so.
32:31 I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. That's all right, Mr. Bennett. I've had an interesting time reading it.
32:36 Excuse me.
32:38 Can you still a while longer?
32:40 Mr. Crichton's been here for some time. Oh, it isn't important. I was shopping near here, and I thought I'd stop in and say hello.
32:45 I'll see you at home.
32:46 All right, my dear.
32:49 Goodbye. Goodbye.
32:51 - Can you come inside? - Thank you.
32:56 I beg your pardon. I'll gather them together. Oh, let me go.
33:05 There we are. All ship-shaped.
33:09 Excuse me? Certainly, Mr. Crichton.
33:15 You'll excuse my office being in this condition, Crichton?
33:18 But I'm closing out my private law practice, you know.
33:21 Try to get out of here by the end of the week, certainly.
33:25 Here's something I just picked up.
33:32 A lot of exits.
33:34 What does it mean?
33:35 It's a code message.
33:36 That's the reason I stumbled over the wastebasket.
33:39 Miss Risdon, you mean?
33:41 She's a German agent.
33:43 But that's not possible.
33:45 I can't believe such a thing.
33:47 Just now.
33:48 She was transmitting a message in the Wolfgern code through her typewriter key.
33:52 The German intelligence are the only ones using that system.
34:03 Who else was in the office?
34:06 Only Miss Hortrey.
34:07 Do you remember when I dropped in to see you earlier in the week?
34:11 Miss Haltrey was also in the office at that time.
34:13 I thought I caught the end of a code message then.
34:16 Now I'm sure.
34:24 Risdon Toohey.
34:27 Tell me, Crichton.
34:29 I realize we can't arrest either of them while there's any chance of them needing us to strengthen.
34:33 But is all this leading us any closer to Strindler?
34:35 Have you any news of him at all?
34:37 We've positive proof that he's in London.
34:39 How long he's been here, of course, we don't know.
34:41 Excuse me
34:45 Yes.
34:46 Put him on, please.
34:48 Hi, Yigits.
34:50 Yes.
34:51 Where?
34:53 Yes, of course, immediately.
34:56 Yes, the Bow Street police station wants us to come over there.
34:59 Right-o.
35:14 I think we've hit on something.
35:17 Brixton here picked up a man on the Orient Pier.
35:19 Chef named Goods?
35:21 How do you find out?
35:22 Through Miss Risdon, Mr. Bennett's secretary.
35:25 She conveyed the information to Miss Hortree through a code message on the typewriter keys.
35:29 She's in it, too? At the Nango, he overlooks her.
35:33 What did you learn from this man Curtis?
35:35 Complete confirmation.
35:37 You were right about Henry Thompson.
35:39 He was the paymaster of the spy ring, got all his money from Germany.
35:43 And Miss Hartree?
35:44 Well, we'll find out tonight whether she's actually leading us anywhere.
35:49 Crichton at 9:30, you and two of your men will be at the front door of Mr. Bennet's home.
35:53 Very well, sir.
35:54 At a given signal, you'll be admitted.
35:56 I'll be nearby to tell you what to do.
35:59 Very likely to get an arrest to make him.
36:00 Write to Archie.
36:02 You understand your end of things, Brixton? Yes, sir.
36:04 Then you intend placing Miss Hortrey under arrest tonight?
36:07 That depends entirely upon what happens.
36:09 I'm afraid I don't quite understand.
36:11 First you're going to arrest her, then you're not.
36:13 I do.
36:15 If Thompson hadn't gone down with the Victoria, we might have been able to clear things up.
36:19 But it is.
36:21 Thompson's not dead.
36:23 He didn't even sail on the Victorians.
36:26 What was that?
36:27 Brixton here was covering the Victoria departure.
36:30 purely as a matter of routine.
36:33 He saw Thompson board the vessel right enough.
36:36 but he also saw him leaving the pier after the vessel had sailed.
36:41 That's when we began our investigation of it.
36:44 Thompson is
36:45 film in England, I'm certain of that.
36:47 *knock knock*
36:48 Yes? Yes?
36:55 You send for me, monsieur?
36:57 I sent for you.
36:58 We're missing it.
36:59 At your service.
37:01 See you at the ward office at 8.30. Right on, sir. You two, Crichton. That's all. Yes, sir.
37:05 Bye, Mr. Bell.
37:13 How did that lead of mine work out? Splendid.
37:17 We picked up that man Kurtz this afternoon.
37:19 He's in back now.
37:21 - Any information? - None.
37:23 He swears he never heard of Miss Fulton. Nonsense. He's lying.
37:26 I've certainly been in touch with each other. Let me talk.
37:29 That won't be necessary.
37:31 I'm satisfied he's a German agent. Of course he is.
37:34 Something about every one of those slimy logs that gives them away.
37:39 It's unmistakable. How important is Kurtz to us?
37:42 Only in so far as he helps us towards Trenton.
37:45 The same for Miss Hortridge.
37:46 That's right.
37:47 Franz Trendler is the man we've got to catch.
37:50 Get Strindler.
37:51 And I'll guarantee to round up every German agent beside the Western Front within a week.
37:56 It's taken a long time.
37:58 But I think we're finally closing in.
38:01 We'll get Strendler soon. We've got to catch him, Colonel Yates.
38:05 In the meantime, they're matters of equal importance to arrange.
38:09 Tomorrow night, the Cabinet holds a meeting secretly.
38:12 in Mr. Bennett's home.
38:14 My men will guard the outside.
38:16 I expect you to keep a close watch inside.
38:19 Understand?
38:20 Perfectly.
38:21 That's all, then. Thank you, sir.
38:24 Oh.
38:26 You only meeting in the library, Monsieur?
38:29 Yes.
38:29 Very good, Monsieur.
38:33 Amen.
38:34 Come on.
38:37 I'm sorry.
38:43 Set your watch.
38:47 The signal will be given at 9.30 exactly.
38:50 Come with me.
38:58 - Have you got everything straight? - Yes, Colonel.
39:00 to exactly as I said.
39:01 When I get to the door and give the signals,
39:03 Star, yes, I can hear you.
39:05 Come on.
39:11 You two with me.
39:35 Come on, open up here.
39:46 Please, please help me.
39:47 Who are you? What do you want? Oh, for the love of heaven, hide me. They're after me. They're going to kill me. Oh, who's going to kill you?
39:51 Who are you?
39:53 Oh, of course.
39:54 You hear of me? Strindler must have told you. There isn't any time to lose. Please hide me.
39:59 Strindler.
40:00 Who's Strindler?
40:04 Francis.
40:05 Open the door.
40:07 Don't give me up.
40:08 Always forward. Never backward. Francis!
40:13 Yes?
40:14 Just a moment.
40:17 In here, quickly.
40:18 I'm going to go.
40:24 Open the door quickly, please. All right, all right, I'm coming. All right.
40:29 I'm going to go.
40:32 Mrs. What's wrong? Did you stay in the body? Did you come in here?
40:36 Why, who?
40:37 A man named Kurtz.
40:39 The German spy.
40:40 the escape while being transferred to the tower.
40:43 I heard a lot of shooting and whistles.
40:47 Is that all?
40:48 Yes, I believe so.
40:50 It was an awful racket.
40:52 Sorry to have disturbed you, Miss Hortry.
40:55 That's all.
40:56 Right you are, sir.
40:58 - Uh, Tony.
41:00 Yes?
41:01 You are the British intelligence department.
41:04 Yes?
41:05 I should think that you would at least insist on looking in the closet.
41:09 I beg your pardon? When I catch someone, he stays caught.
41:15 In there.
41:16 You will need the key.
41:19 Why couldn't you tell us this in the first place?
41:21 He said that he was accused of being a traitor and that
41:24 He could explain everything if I had only concealed him.
41:26 You seem so genuine. Come on. Come on.
41:29 Oh, my God.
41:34 You could have saved me.
41:35 They were going. They would have never found me. Take him along, Crichton.
41:39 Come along.
41:43 You know Miss Hortreid.
41:44 It's always best to report such cases at once.
41:47 I should have known that.
41:48 I'm sorry. Thank you for your cooperation.
41:51 Good night.
41:54 I'm terribly sorry. Coming, Benny. Good night, Francis. Good night.
41:59 I'm going to go.
42:10 Why you give him up?
42:12 That wasn't Kurtz.
42:13 But how did you know? You have never seen him.
42:18 It means only one thing. They suspect me. They have no evidence or they would not set this trap.
42:24 They can arrest me on suspicion.
42:25 I've got to get away from here.
42:26 It is imperative, my Miss Elder, to stay here tomorrow night.
42:32 But why? The British cabinet will come here for a secret meeting.
42:36 Threadler will see they never leave.
42:39 Okay.
42:40 That we will learn from Strangler.
42:42 He will be here.
42:43 themselves.
42:46 But Chiller... That will be all, mademoiselle.
42:55 I still don't think we...
42:57 You failed completely.
42:59 The cabinet meeting? Yes. We'll make certain then.
43:02 No.
43:03 Amen.
43:05 And I rather expect an air raid at the same time.
43:43 Hold up.
43:44 Why you follow me? Take me with you, de Strader. I have told you what to do. Now go back to the house at once. Yes, but you haven't... I've heard my order. Come on.
44:04 Elaine.
44:05 Amen.
44:06 Thompson!
44:10 I've been hiding for three days.
44:13 But I just had to come here and warn you.
44:15 On what?
44:16 I sent you arrive in London.
44:17 Every word you've spoken.
44:19 everything you've done they've all been reported to scoffing yard what
44:22 By whom?
44:24 Well, that can't be. But I tell you, he was with Yates and Bennett this afternoon. He's working with the English. It's impossible. It's not impossible. I know it to be true. But only tonight he told me it was Strindler's final plan. I don't care what he told you, I don't care what he told you.
44:36 We're both in terrible danger, Helene. I'm getting out. I want you to come with me.
44:41 No.
44:42 No, I can't go.
44:43 There's nothing to be gained here.
44:45 You have no ties, neither have I.
44:47 Well, let's go together to somewhere.
44:48 Peacefulness.
44:49 where there's no war.
44:51 I appreciate what you say.
44:54 And I know the risk you took too. Tell me this.
44:57 But I can't leave now. - Think a moment. People work so they may live.
45:02 What good is work such as ours?
45:04 when it leads only to death.
45:06 For Germany. For Germany.
45:08 I'm sick of that phrase. How many millions of people have been killed in the past for those words?
45:14 How many millions more must die?
45:16 Just because one man sets himself above the Almighty.
45:19 so that he may boast of my country, my people. It's happening before. It's happening now.
45:26 It will happen again.
45:27 Amen.
45:28 Let's get out before it's too late.
45:30 How many things do you can't?
45:32 I'm sailing for South America tonight.
45:34 I want you to come with me, Helen.
45:39 Good luck.
45:42 This is final.
45:44 Come on.
45:46 I'll feed us, honey. Throw them.
45:59 Oh.
46:00 Hello, mate. Want a ride? Merci, monsieur. My leg is bad tonight. Come on, Henry. Well, what's happening? A great deal is happening, monsieur.
46:24 Who is it?
46:25 It's Millie Thompson.
46:26 The old friend of milkman.
46:41 Well...
46:42 Hey!
46:44 - You want someplace? - Yes, you told me to.
46:50 That was three days ago, wasn't it?
46:52 Yes, but I.
46:53 I was delayed.
46:55 But I'm going now.
46:57 Oh, you don't say. Where to?
47:01 Why, to Germany, of course. Oh, of course. But I think I'd better see that you go there this night.
47:08 Maybe it would be a good idea if we left together, eh?
47:13 Yes.
47:15 I'm glad you agree.
47:17 Pick up your bags.
47:19 Friend?
47:20 I'm sorry.
47:49 Yeah, that's me, Raviswood Bennett. So long, you creepy lizards, see you tonight.
47:53 Take care of yourself. Good luck driver.
47:55 Hello. Bye.
48:01 Oui, monsieur.
48:03 Oh, cut the French, won't you? There's a good fellow.
48:05 If you've had that kind of talk as much as I have in the last two years...
48:09 Pardon, monsieur. That's all right.
48:11 Oh.
48:12 Who would you be?
48:13 I am Valda. May I ask, who is Monsieur? Oh, that? Oh, I live here. What little living there is to do these days. Bennet's the name, Brent. Frank Bennet's. Oh, Monsieur Milpato, I'm so sorry.
48:23 Permit me.
48:31 Mala!
48:33 Frank! Oh, Frank!
48:35 Frank, my boy, my boy.
48:37 Boy!
48:38 Let me look at you.
48:39 How are you? Fine, Mother.
48:41 If you overlook a couple of ribs I left in France,
48:44 Oh, Dad. Dad, I'm back to see you. Right.
48:47 We're happy to have you home again.
48:49 How are you? Never better. Good.
48:52 But what are you doing in England?
48:53 Well, our whole squadron was ordered over here this morning on the double.
48:56 More than a hundred planes were called back.
48:58 Most of us flew in together from our stand.
49:01 That's rather strange. None of us knows the reason.
49:04 Oh, by the way, I've got to call the war office immediately. You'll let us know what they say. I will, Mother.
49:11 - I'm sorry.
49:13 I'm going to go.
49:20 White hole 9-4-0, please.
49:25 Will you put me through to Major Andrews, please?
49:28 Hello, Major Andrews.
49:30 Mrs. Bennett speaking.
49:33 Yes, sir.
49:34 All right, sir. I'll stand by.
49:36 Yes.
49:37 Thank you, sir.
49:45 I say, you must be Miss Hawthorne. The girl mother wrote me about.
49:48 Yes, I am.
49:50 I'm Frank Bennett.
49:51 I'm awfully glad to know you.
49:54 I have seen you before.
49:56 No, I don't think so.
49:58 I think I have.
49:59 Wait a minute.
50:00 Weren't you at the field hospital in the morning?
50:02 I'm afraid you're mistaken.
50:05 Mother told me we escaped from a German internment camp, but...
50:08 That's correct.
50:10 Look here.
50:11 Do you mind very much telling me the truth?
50:13 You already know my history.
50:15 No.
50:16 You're no more Francis Hawtry than I am.
50:18 Who are you?
50:19 You seem to know everything else, why don't you tell me?
50:22 Your name is Helen.
50:23 That I do know.
50:25 You were the girl who nursed me back for the living after I cracked up.
50:28 That's all.
50:29 I'll start.
50:30 I tried to trace you. I heard you've been captured in the German advance.
50:34 You're making a complete liar out of me, aren't you?
50:37 Call it that if you like, but...
50:38 I can't understand after what you did at Mornay.
50:42 Don't you remember the last time I saw you?
50:44 When I was able to speak for the first time,
50:47 I tell you, I'm mistaken.
50:48 No.
50:51 Really, I wish you'd stop.
50:53 You are Helen.
50:58 Yes.
50:59 I...
51:00 I did know you at morning. I knew it.
51:04 Soldiers often fall in love with their nurses.
51:06 It's contagious, I guess. But they get over it as soon as they leave the hospital.
51:11 Not this soldier and this nurse.
51:13 You're being very silly.
51:15 Am I?
51:16 I'm sorry.
51:16 When you thought I was asleep, you kissed me.
51:19 Do you remember?
51:20 Then...
51:21 Then you were to sleep?
51:22 I tried to call you back. I couldn't raise my voice above a whisper.
51:26 And that was the night you disappeared.
51:30 Helen.
51:32 What are you doing here?
51:40 I...
51:42 I'm a British Secret Service agent.
51:44 Even your father doesn't know. But why?
51:47 I can't say anything more now.
51:49 Believe me, I would...
51:57 Pardon not, Miss Elf, but Nathan Dorothy is asking.
51:59 Were you upstairs?
52:18 Monsieur.
52:20 And you are here for the meeting?
52:22 There he is, Lord Sundry.
52:23 This way, your lord.
52:29 Well, Osanbury, sit down.
52:38 Well, that's the last of them.
52:39 All you be this there are you ever sitting
52:41 Yes?
52:43 Keeping track of a poetry girl, right?
52:45 We'll see.
52:47 You sure it wouldn't be better to arrest Ringgit? No, please. Give me two more hours.
52:53 Then I know all I need to know.
52:57 Oh, good evening, Miss Harder. - Good evening. - Hello, village. Shall we go inside?
53:01 You'll excuse us, Francis.
53:02 Frank's home. He wanted very much to see you, but he was called back to the war because about an hour ago.
53:06 I can understand that.
53:09 I'm going to go.
53:15 Have you anything to tell me?
53:18 No.
53:18 Nothing new is developed. You are sure of that? Yes.
53:28 Air raid alarm. That means in five minutes, all electric power will be shut off.
53:34 One will spend every year. Soon, mademoiselle. As soon.
53:38 Then I'm to meet him?
53:41 That was not the plan.
53:44 I think maybe you had better.
53:46 Come.
53:48 I'm going to go.
53:56 Oh, Baldar, if you only could.
53:58 If you'd only arrange it. I will, mademoiselle.
54:01 Turn around, please.
54:03 And go down into the cellar.
54:05 I'd advise you to make notes, sir.
54:08 If you please.
54:25 And now, my dear Fräulein von Lobbier,
54:28 Who are you?
54:30 My congratulations.
54:33 I might have known you were a British agent all the time.
54:35 I asked you.
54:36 question.
54:37 Who are you?
54:39 Helene von Lorbeer.
54:40 Servant of the Fatherland.
54:42 I see.
54:46 Where did you meet the Bennett boy?
54:50 I have nothing to say.
54:51 I heard you in the library.
54:52 when you told him you were a member of the English Secret Service.
54:57 What would you have me do? Tell him I'm a German spy, Mr. Veldar?
55:02 Excellent.
55:04 But I'm afraid it won't quite do.
55:07 No, I suppose it won't. You've caught me all right. Do you know what it means?
55:13 Nothing.
55:15 You may trap every German agent in England.
55:17 one by one.
55:19 But there were places just as rapidly.
55:22 Transgender will see to that.
55:24 and you'll never take him.
55:26 traffic in.
55:31 Very, very good.
55:33 Have you anything else to say?
55:37 In case you are still in doubt.
55:44 For my name.
55:45 My deepest regrets.
55:49 When Strindler is wrong, he admits it.
55:52 You are Franz Strindler. Exactly.
55:56 They have sighted our saplon.
56:20 What are you going to do?
56:21 In approximately three minutes,
56:24 This house and the entire British cabinet will be destroyed.
56:27 and the plans for the spring offensive.
56:30 We'll be on their way across the channel.
56:32 Colonel Giggs, Valder's a man, sir. He just told Miss Hortrey that he's Friendler.
56:37 Up the stairs.
56:39 It's very tiring to get away.
56:48 That's why you picked up the coal chute.
56:58 The bomb on the table, quick! Where did he go? Out the coal chute!
57:12 Look after her, Bennett. She's the best agent we have.
57:27 Dr. Colby.
57:30 still here in the goblin.
57:31 Quickly, men. We'll stretch the ground.
57:35 There he goes, men.
57:47 Get on the trail. Come on, you men.
58:17 - Caposo!
58:18 Pass it off!
58:40 They're getting along famously aren't they Bennett?
58:42 Yes, they are.
58:44 He's a fine boy. And Helen...
58:47 Well, she is a remarkable girl. I wish I'd known more about her from the start, though.
58:52 I'd have felt far more comfortable.
58:54 Sorry I had to keep you in the dark, but as strendler as the prize,
58:58 That's the way it had to be.
59:00 No one else knew? No.
59:01 When I gave her the assignment, I told her to play her part, regardless of cost.
59:07 There were occasions...
59:09 such as the stolen plans when the cost was heavy.
59:12 There were times...
59:13 Such is the night we set the bogus trap for Helen.
59:17 And we almost overplayed our parts, trying to be too clever.
59:20 But it worked out all right in the end.
59:24 We had to get Strangler, and we got him. But tell me, Yates.
59:29 These sacrifices we are all making...
59:31 Do you think they will eventually mean something to mankind?
59:34 I wish I were able to answer that question.
59:37 We want to help humanity.
59:39 We fight wars only because we crave peace so ardently.
59:43 And we pray that each war will be the last.
59:47 but always in a strange scheme of things.
59:50 some maniac with a lust for power arises.
59:54 and in one moment destroys the peace and tranquility
59:58 We've created through the years.
1:00:00 We hate war.
