Are you sure?

Quite sure?

Well, I guess I must
have been mistaken.

Thank you, goodbye.

Well, you're quite right
Miss Tuppence,

There is no Inspector
Brown in Scotland Yard.

I'm sorry.

I don't understand.

Why would anyone want to steal
cousin Jane's photograph?

Was there anything
special about it?

To me there was,
as far as I know,

is the only photograph
of her in existence

Now what do I do?

We're going to have to
tell him, it isn't fair.

I agree.

I'll tell him you,
you book us in.

When the government find
that a little excessive.

The government, wait a
minute, what are you two?

He said funds within reason.

Yes, I'm not sure that within
reason covers the Ritz.

We're keeping in touch

with Jane Finn's only
living relatives.

[upbeat music]

Well, if you'll excuse me.

Of course.

I'll see you both later,

I'm off to do a little
sleuthing of my own.

My colleague and I will confer,

that's noon, that's
to be ascertained

and then we'll map out
a plan of campaign.

Oh good, good, make
yourselves at home.

Thank you

Just like you to know,

it's a real pleasure
having you around.

I didn't know nice millionaires
existed.

Money has charms.

Now let's concentrate.

To begin with, what
do we have to go on?

Absolutely nothing.

Wrong, we have two
distinct clues.

Have we?

First clue, we know a
member of the gang.

Whittington?

I recognise him anyway.

I don't call that
much of a clue.

Nevermind clue too is
much more promising.

It better be.

Rita, a name Whittington
mentioned.

I know you're proposing
a third investment,

wanted female crook answers
to the name of Rita.

No, I am not,

I propose to reason
in a logical manner.

That man Danvers was shattered
on the way over it wasn't he?

And it was more likely

to have been by a woman
named by a man.

I don't see that at all.

Well, its obvious,
women and children first

and that woman whoever
she was, was saved.

How do you make that out?

Well if she wasn't, how
would they've know

that Jane Finn still
had the papers.

There's something about
the simplicity

of the truly great mind
about you Tuppence.

Thank you, now there's a chance,

I admit it's only a chance
that this woman

may have been retired.

And if so?

We've got to hunt through
the survivors

of the Lusitania
till we find her.

We must have walked
halfway round London

these past few days

and all we have to show
for it is one freedom,

four marriages and a
couple of birthdays.

I'm beginning to
feel discouraged,

I like things to happen quickly.

You must die from this
longing from focus

and safety Tuppence.

Mr. Brown is always
reported to be, its a wonder

he's not even known as to death,

yet here we are unscathed.

Perhaps he doesn't think
it's worth bothering about.

Well, I just have to
show him, won't we?

Who's next?

Mrs. Vandemeyer Number 20

Right, Mrs. Vandemeyer
here we come.

Christian name?

Marguerite, sir.

M-A-R-G-A-R

No, G-U-E.

Marguerite, I see you're French.

Actually on the old
voting register,

we had it as Rita Vandemeyer.

She's mostly known as
Rita but Marguerite

is her real name, so she says.

Thank you, thank you
very much, goodbye.

I know a thing, I feel the same.

It's so lovely to think
things really...

[upbeat music]

What the devil!

Quick follow them, I dare
he might recognise me.

Who are they?

I don't know who
the fair one is,

but the dark one, that's
Whittington.

Waterloo and hurry.

[horse neighing]

[upbeat music]

You busy?

What's your worth?

I have a crime.

Sorry cop but I have a delivery.

[mumbles] come on in, jump up.

Follow that hands carb.

It ain't like that sunny.

It ain't.

Good guys bad guys good cops
bad cops, it ain't that easy.

Isn't it here miss?

Say got dark hair and sous-vide
skins and don't shave proper

they're bad ones.

Even the cops?

Especially the cops miss.

You sound like a bright
young lad, will you?

My name is Albert miss, hey
what's happened to your voice?

My voice?

Which voice, I have
so many voices.

It was an American I mean it.

The next minute am [murmurs]

and in another minute
am Russians.

Because I get a bit confused.

Its isn't the voice of
the confusing Hebert.

Albert.

In all those disguises can
you imagine what it's like

in bed a completely different
person from the person

that got up in the morning.

Are you a film Star
or something?

And you wish I were,

know what this is?

Secret Service.

You shouldn't be
telling me that.

We know the people we can trust

and we never forget a
friend, knew what I'm after?

One of the flats.

Number 20, calls herself
Vandemeyer.

Who is she?

Lady Rita they call her.

Anne he always said
she was a bad law.

Anne?

House bother maid,
she's leaving,

a guillotine Abed said so Anne

was reading her letters,
all she thought

it's so easy to get another.

Yes, how would it be if
you would say that you had

a cousin or a friend of
yours had my soup the place?

You leave it to me miss,

I'll fix the offing
having two ticks .

Oh, good lad, I'll see you
tomorrow morning, 11 o'clock.

In disguise.

[speaking in foreign language]

First off single to
Bournemouth please.

Just abandon.

Just the one.

Your train does not
leave until 330,

so we still have 20 minutes.

Single Bournemouth please
, third class, thanks.

[Operator] Number please.

Hypothec 8181 please.

Hey Julius be there.

Can I help you?

Julius P. Hersheimmer please.

You're British rap beats
all description,

which one's mine?

That holdout chap carries
now, here's your ticket,

I can only afford third
class I'm afraid.

Go on man, run

Nether of them?

Mr. Beresford hasn't
been seen since he left

with you this morning.

He might have riled or something

open that will you please
and Mr. Hersheimmer?

Well, he had a phone
call about 10 past three

and then he just left.

Oh, really is too mean of them,

here am I busting with news

not a single cell to tell it to.

Men really are very
unreasonable Harry.

I am Jeremy Miss.

[footsteps approaching]

[upbeat music]

[door knocks]

Mr. Brown.

[door bangs]

[upbeat music]

[door knocks]

Well?

Mr Brown.

Second door on the
left upstairs.

[soft music]

[footsteps approaching]

Mr. Brown.

Second door on the
left, upstairs.

[upbeat music]

[footsteps approaching]

Enter.

Your number comrade.

I am number one.

We are honoured,
greatly honoured,

we thought it might be
impossible for you to get here.

One meeting was essential

to define my policy
so let us proceed.

[door bangs]

[soft music]

Now, in the middle of a loan
to an English newspaper,

you have arranged the
details satisfactory Boris?

I think so.

That is good and official denial

from Moscow will be issued
if necessary, and the date?

The 29th.

That is sooner than we planned.

Information reached
us from Mr. Brown

that the government
plans to change

the law we had to move quickly.

I understood there was a
certain document in existence.

That is so, if that
document were placed before

the labour leaders, the
result would be immediate.

They would publish it
broadcast throughout England

and declare for the revolution

without a moment's hesitation.

Government would broken
finally and completely.

Then what more do you want?

The document itself.

It is not in our possession.

No.

But you know where it is.

Only one person perhaps and
we're not sure if its them.

Who?

A girl.

A girl?

And you have a bit of speak.

Where is this girl?

She is.

How did you get into this house?

Better ask your watchdog.

You let him in?

He gave the password
how was I to know?

You deny you were listening
at the door.

Frightfully bad manners I
know but your conversation was

so interesting it overcame
my scruples.

Unfortunately, it was not
a conversation intended

for your ears, which is why
I will now be put to death.

Just a moment.

I ask you, do I really look

as though I thought there
was the least chance

of you're killing me?

Now ask ourselves why I am
so confident, gentlemen,

because I know something
that puts me in a position

to propose a bargain.

A bargain.

My life and liberty
against the papers

that Dan has brought across
from America and the Lusitania.

Danvers I see you've
got these papers,

but you know what they are?

No I do believe I know
where to find them.

And may also remind
you of gentlemen,

that your big day the 29th is
less than a fortnight ahead.

We accept on certain terms,
the papers must be delivered

to us before you go free.

Don't be such an idiot,
how can I search for them

if you keep me locked up here?

What do you expect then?

I made two conditions, one
I must have complete liberty

to go about the business
my own way

and two I must question
the girl.

What girl?

Jane Finn Of course.

[laughing]

I wonder my friend
if you know as much

as you would have us think.

[groans]

See this door, we're right
outside jut remember that.

[groans]

[soft music]

Is the patient ready now nurse?

Yes, certainly, I'll get her.

Apart from the havoc that
wreaked on the shrubbery,

none of your own bones are
broken, a slight spleen

but there's nothing
serious provided

you put no weight on it.

You mean I can't move?

Precisely but don't
worry you'll be up

and about again a
couple of days.

I sure am sorry, Mr.

Doctor, Dr. Hall, this
is my nursing home.

Julius P. Hersheimmer,
glad to meet you, Doc.

Well, I guess you might
be a little curious

as to what I was doing
up that drain pipe.

Well, it had occurred to
me that the explanation

might be a diversionary
interest.

I see doc, it was like
this I met this girl,

it's a very special
girl you understand

on the boat coming over.

She talked to me too I can tell

but her guardian didn't know
he locked her in her cabin

and gave me some guff about
her being mentally disturbed

and needing treatment.

A fair diagnosis of anyone
in love, wouldn't you see?

Anyway, I knew they were coming

to Bournemouth so I
decided to check out all

the nursing homes in the
area, climbed up a drain pipe

to have a look in and
believe it or not,

I thought I saw someone
I knew talking to one

of your nurses.

Mr Whittington I presume.

That's the man.

Mr Whittington has a niece
and staff here he came

to see her.

Is he hanging around still?

No, he went back to
town almost immediately.

Can I get address of his niece.

No, she also left here
tonight with a patient.

I'm so sorry, I thought
you were a friend of mine,

breakfast at last.

About little I'm about
receiving the Lord magnitude,

please don't go, don't
get out yet.

I just want to ask you
something, are you Jane Finn?

My name is Jeanette Finne.

France?

[speaking in foreign language]

Not any length of
time, I'm afraid,

Annette have you heard
that name before?

I have two people mentioned
it as you.

Who mentioned it?

I must go they will
be waiting for me.

[door bangs]

Now that's what I
call a disguise,

best if I don't know you.

Tricks of the trade Caspar
tricks of the trade.

Albert Miss.

Albert, am I your cousin
or am I not?

[upbeat music]

You may sit down.

How did you hear I wanted

a house parlormaid

My cousin's a lift boy,

he thought the place
might suit me.

You speak like an educated girl.

I am an educated girl but
it's difficult these days even

for an educated girl
to get a job.

Your name?

Prudence Cooper mam.

You could come at once Prudence?

Today if you'd like,
I've got my references.

Good, you wanna find
this an easy place,

two afternoons off a
week Friday and Sunday.

I should be out to lunch
today Prudence but tonight

I have a very special
guest coming to dinner.

She's new the girl.

She came today.

Sure she's safe?

The whole party recommended
her, something to guide.

How do you know he
was not bribed?

Why on earth should anybody want

to bribe him, really
Boris sometimes

you are absurdly suspicious.

[faintly speaking]

You exaggerate.

I do not exaggerate,
Sir James Peele Edgerton

is a celebrated liar, he
distinguished politician.

And a delightful companion.

You are a very clever woman Rita

but like many clever
women, you are a fool

where men are concerned,
you must give him up.

I think you have forgotten
something Boris Ivanovitch.

I take my orders from one man
and one man only, Mr. Brown.

And I will tell you what
Mr. Brown would tell you

that Peele Edgerton has
studied crime as no other man

in this country as candidly,
he can smell a criminal,

you've asked if you
can deceive him.

I do not need to deceive him,
I'm a beautiful woman Boris,

that is sir James only
interest in me.

Besides he's extremely rich.

Money, that is always the
danger with you Rita, money.

I believe you would sell
your soul for it.

My soul, Boris have very
whimsical of you.

I believe you would
even sell us.

You're quite safe.

It would take a much
richer man than sir James

to pay the price.

Shall we going in to dinner?

Well, I suppose there's

a kind of beauty in the
all familiar things.

Jeanette, Jeanette look at me,

I want you to help me
get out of this place.

Would you help me, if you could?

You have spied on them,

they are quite right
to keep you here.

Wouldn't you do something

to help another girl
about your own age.

You mean Jane Finn?

It is her you came
here to look for?

Yes, always I hear that
name, Jane Finn.

Then you must know something
about her.

I know nothing, only the name.

Nothing, not a word
from either of them?

No miss, I found a little
fella liked you told me,

[faintly speaking]

Henry but he says there's
still nothing.

It's nearly two whole days,

I would conceal it
from you Wilbert.

Albert.

I'm worried and mind
you do these tests

were an absolute disgrace
yesterday.

Oh yeah, right, well,
I'll begin miss,

promise you.

Good morning Mr. James?

Good morning, Albert.

You're new here surely.

Yes sir.

You've been doing this sort
of work a long I imagine,

nurse perhaps?

Yes sir.

Good place here what
do you think?

I hope so sir.

But just remember there are
always other good places

and sometimes a change
does no harm.

But haven't I just started?

Just a hit that's all,

tell your mistress
am here, will you?

Yes sir.

Dear Mr. Carter, I'm
really worried,

Tommy has disappeared
I saw him two days ago

when we saw Mr. Whittington
and another man coming out.

Just where have you been?

I'll explain all that in
a minute Miss Tuppence,

those don't fools
downstairs would

have their Beresford hasn't
been seen since Wednesday,

is that true?

Don't you know what he is?

I have not one word with him
since we split up the Depo.

Depo?

Waterloo.

What on earth were the pair
of you doing at Waterloo?

Beresford who gave me a call

said he was trailing two crooks.

Boris and Whittington.

Yeah the big one was
mine the one you bluffed,

Beresford shoved a ticket
into my hand and told me

to get aboard the cars, he
said he was gonna sleuth

the other one.

You don't know anything
at all about this?

I knew like, Boris, whatever
his name was,

dined at Mrs.Vandemeyer
last night.

Mrs who?

Rita Vandemeyer was
on the Lusitania

with your cousin Jane Finn,
and she tried to befriend her,

and I'm working her flat
as a parlormaid.

You mean you're a menial?

I'm a special agent
pretending to be a menial.

Do you think this
Boris is likely

to come back to this flat again?

Well I don't know, he might.

Well, we'll just have
to be ready for him.

Look, I'm gonna buy a car,
dress up as a chauffeur

and hang about out outside.

You don't think that might
be trifle conspicuous?

Well, it's just a chance
we'll have to take.

Oh, Miss Tuppence what
kind of car would you like?

[upbeat music]

How did you do it?

Well, you know your
chance of the Exchequer?

No personal no.

Well, I went around to
his house over there

on Downing Street said I reckon

this machine was worth
every bit of $20,000

and I told him I give him
$50,000 if he get out of it.

And?

He got out of it.

Which is why of course he's
a childhood of the exchequer.

Well hop in

I'd like to see the South
oddly mansions of yours.

Oh, no, I've been thinking,

I think we should concentrate

on Mrs. Vandemeyer other
visitors, Sir James Peele Edgerton.

Who the hell's he?

A barrister, an MP expert
at detection,

in other words,

professionals, even
they seem scared of him.

Well he spoke to
me this morning,

and I think he was trying to
tell me something, to warn me.

My dear young lady, as
far as I recollect,

I only mentioned that they
were equally good situations

to be found elsewhere.

But it was a hint wasn't it?

Perhaps, I certainly
didn't expect you

to turn up here only
a few hours later

miraculously transformed

and cross questioning
me about it.

Sir James, I want to know
why you gave me that hint.

Well, if I had a young sister
forced to unhealthy living,

I should not like to see her
in Mrs. Vandemeyer service,

that's all I can tell you.

I see, thank you, thank
you very much.

For now perhaps you would
tell me perhaps

what is worrying you?

Tommy.

Who is Tommy?

He's Miss Tuppence
childhood friend

and what's really
worrying us is.

Where is Tommy?

[humming]

You've done extremely well so
far, but it's rather too bad

of what do you know as Carter?

I think you said Mr.
Carter's a pitchfork you went

to an affair of this
kind, we can only hope

that your friend Tommy is still
alive and we can find him.

But how?

Through Mrs. Vandemeyer,

the one person who in all
probability knows where he is.

She would never tell us.

I think I can promise you
that she will tell me.

And if she won't?

We could try bribery,
she likes money.

Well, that's where I come in.

I was wondering where
you came in.

Jane Finn is my cousin.

And you can count on me
if needed for $1 million.

Mr. Hersheimmer that
is a very large sum.

Well, I don't think
these are the kind

of people you can offer
six minutes to, do you?

He's not pulling your
legs Sir. James,

he is disgustingly rich.

So why don't we get down to it?

What's your idea Sir. James?

Miss, thank goodness you've
turned up she's going.

Who's going?

The crook lady Rita,
she's packing out

and she just sent down
word for me to get a taxi.

You're a brick Albert, come on.

There's a telephone
here isn't there?

In the flats mostly the Romans,

but there's a box just
around the corner.

Go to it at once, call
in the Ritz Hotel

and ask for Mr. Hersheimmer

Mr. Who?

Hersheimmer and when
you speak to him,

ask him to tell Sir.
James to come up once

as Mrs. Vandemeyer is
about to vacate, okay.

[sighs]

I've got to take mom, so I
thought I better come home

and have a quiet evening.

You'd better go to bed.

I'll be right in the kitchen.

You little fool, do
you think I don't know.

[soft music]

If you struggle or cry
out I'll shoot, sit down.

Put your hands above your head
and if you value your life,

don't move them.

Now clever, I'll
say that for you

I had no suspicion at all

but I think we know
where we stand now,

wouldn't you agree?

What's that?

Something to make you sleep.

You're not going to
poison me, are you?

Perhaps and then again,
perhaps not.

Then I shan't drink it,
I'd much rather be shot,

I refuse to be killed
off quietly.

Do you really think I were
a human cry for murder adapt

to me, it's a sleeping
draught that's all.

Its poison, I know it's poison,

please don't make me drink it.

Stop snivelling

you'll wake up tomorrow
morning none the worse.

Swear it.

I swear it.

Very well.

I think we know where we
stand now, wouldn't you agree?

Supposing we sit down,
our present attitude

is ridiculously melodramatic,
no, not on the bed,

here we are, that's right.

Splendid, now let's talk.

What about?

Money.

Money?

Always useful don't you think?

Particularly when there's
a lot of it.

Do you think I'm the kind
of woman to sell my friends?

If the price was high enough.

You couldn't buy me.

I couldn't but I know
a friend that could,

shall we say 100,000 pounds,

you can take it from me

it's a perfectly genuine
proposition.

What does he want to know?

This friend of yours.

Where to find Jane
Finn, you do know.

Yes, I do know, what's that?

What?

Someone's listening.

How could it be?

You don't know him.

Him who, Mr. Brown you mean?

Forget about Mr. Brown
for a minute and think

about 100,000 pounds.

He'll never let me get it,
you don't know him, he is.

Brandy, quickly.

Its a heart attack I think.

No, not there in the
tantalous in the dining room,

the second, don't bother
I'll bring it myself.

Mr. Hersheimmer would
you open that window.

Here, sir. James.

Thank you.

Miss Tuppence could you help me.

Yes, yes of course.

Drink it, it's only brandy
I promise you.

Its my heart, I mustn't talk.

All we can do now is
to let her rest.

Can we get onto the bed?

Okay, what happened
Miss Tuppence?

I just offered her
100,000 pounds

to tell me where Jane Finn was

when suddenly she
seemed terrified.

So she'd heard something
but it was just you two.

It's not the first time
they've entrances I'm afraid

but we got the message
from young Albert,

who was convinced you
were in danger.

He's right I was but
how did you get in?

Luckily the porter
had master key.

We're not going to get
anything out of it till morning

but I don't think we
will to leave the flat.

She wouldn't clear out
for 100,000 pounds.

She might, she seemed
very frightened Mr. Brown.

Miss Tuppence is right.

You don't think you get
after her between now

and tomorrow morning,
how would you even know?

We have a very formidable
adversary and Mr. Hersheimmer

and we have an important
witness, she must be safeguarded.

Well, there's one thing
I'd like to know,

who put her up to clearing out?

Mr. Brown I suppose,
in another moment,

she would have told
me who he was.

A bit different from
the rats in it.

[upbeat music]

Don't leave,

sleepy, so tired, Mr. Brown.

I shan't leave the flat,
I'll sit up all night.

[upbeat music]

Take the key out please
Miss Tuppence

and lock the door.

Do you have a pocket?

Yes sir. James.

Put the key in it then,
there must be no chance

of anyone entering that room.

Leave him Jeanette.

I just wanted one
last look at him,

you have tied him up so well.

Jeanette.

[speaking in foreign language]

[upbeat music]

Miss Tuppence are you all right?

I'm sorry, he is here,
somewhere in the flat.

I know he is.

But you yourself lock the
door, the key is in your pocket

there's no other way
through to the other room.

Mr. Brown is here,
I could feel him.

[groans]

[door bangs]

Jeanette.

This way.

[upbeat music]

give me the key

He has escaped, he has escaped.

What's going on?

Beresford Richmond
he has escaped.

[upbeat music]

[speaking if foreign language]

[groans]

[gun pops]

Good morning Mrs. Vandemeyer,
I have brought you some tea.

Julius would you open the
other curtains please?

Mrs. Vandemeyer,

Mrs. Vandemeyer, she is dead.

She must have been
dead for some time.

That's impossible, no
one could have got in.

She's on the point of betraying
Mr. Brown when she dies

is it under chance?

But how?

That is what we must find out,

in the meantime when we send
for a doctor, but before we do,

is there anything in this room
that might be of value to us?

She kept her jewels
and things in it.

Keys in the lock.

She was on the point
of leaving remember,

she should be burning some
papers of some kind or another.

Unfortunately, she seems to
have made a thorough job of it.

Anything?

Nothing, its empty.

[upbeat music]

Empty.

That's number one.

Yes Comrade come in.

Who is he sir?

By many he is believed
to be the real author

of the Russian Revolution
but he didn't arrive

in this country till yesterday.

He was at the meeting on
Wednesday, I'd swear to it.

Well, if he's part of
Mr. Brown's organisation,

anything's possible.

Perhaps he is Mr. Brown.

Unfortunately, one of the few
facts of which we're certain

is that Mr. Brown
is no foreigner.

A traitor, we've just
fought a war.

Which some people would
prefer we haven't won.

Now the 29th you say?

Yes sir.

That gives us just over a week.

Well, we can deal with
the general strike manners

but if that draught treaty
turns up we are done for,

England we'll be plunged
into anarchy.

Dr. Hall I wonder if you could
tell me, are you acquainted

with Mrs. Vandemeyer?

I know her slightly.

I have reason to believe

that Mrs. Vandemeyer once
committed a young relative

of hers to your charge.

Janet Vandemeyer, her niece.

When did she come to you?

As far as I can remember,
June or July of 1915.

Was she a mental case?

She was perfectly sane
if that's what you mean.

I understood from Mrs.
Vandemeyer, that the girl had been

with her on the Lusitania when
that ill fated ship was sunk

and she has been in a state
of severe shock ever since.

What kind of shock?

Janet Vandemeyer is suffering

from a complete loss of memory.

What?

She remembers nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Or maybe seeing someone
from back home might.

I'm sorry, Mr. Hersheimmer
I thought you understood,

Mrs. Vandemeyer is no
longer in my care.

When did she leave?

The same evening that you
fell off my drain pipe,

a very urgent message
arrived from an aunt

and the young lady and the
nurse who was in charge

of her lift by the night train.

I remember now,

you said nurse Edith
left with the patient?

My God we have been so near.

Right, whereas I thought
the birds have flown,

a strip the house
in Soho and gone.

And only one thing puzzles
me, when the mood changed when

they tied me up, Conrad said
something about bit different

from the Ritz, but how
could they have known?

[engine roaring]

Miss Tuppence, do you think
I'm ever gonna find Jane?

Of course you will find her.

How long can you live on dreams?

That's what I'm asking myself,
I'd have a mind to go back

to the States right now.

You can't, we've got
to find Tommy.

Well, I clearly forgot Tommy.

[engine roaring]

Miss Tuppence, do you mind
if I asked a question?

Far away.

You and Beresford,
what about it?

Tommy and I, well were just
good friends, that's all.

But supposedly we never
find him and.

And he's dead, it's alright
said I can face facts, well.

And all this business
fizzles out,

You could be kind of lonesome.

Oh I'll be all right

I intend to marry of course,

if I can find anyone rich enough
to make it worth my while.

What kind of figures
do you have in mind?

Figure?

You mean, tall or short?

No, income.

Oh,

What about me?

About you?

I admire you immensely
Miss Tuppence.

Thank you very much I.

I am proposing to you,
will you be my wife?

Oh, I'm sorry, I couldn't.

Because of Hersheimmer?

No, it isn't that, well,

thank you very much on that but
I'm afraid I have to say no.

I'd be obliged if you
do me the favour

to think about it
until tomorrow.

[engine roaring]

An intriguing request.

What are old friends for
accept to help one another.

Now, as you've helped me
many times in the past.

You're looking tired, Anthony.

No, I've just had the Prime
Minister on the phone.

This are grave times, six
months ago general strike would

have seemed inconceivable.

But not now, now its reality.

So your problem, whatever
it may be,

may provide a little
light relief,

what is it you're trying
to find out?

Three weeks ago, a man's
body was found near

the docks in New York.

[upbeat music]

Took one for you miss.

For me?

Tommy, get me an ABC Henry.

[soft music]

Taxis waiting miss,
what should I tell him?

Charing Cross.

[upbeat music]

Excuse me, is Miss
Cowley in her room?

I'm sorry Sir, Miss
Cowley has just gone out.

Beresford, my God
is it really you?

Why on earth shouldn't it be?

You've been given up for dead.

Who thought I was dead?

Miss Tuppence.

Do you remember the
proverb about

the good dying young I
suppose, yes well there must

be a certain amount of original
sin in me to have survived.

Anyway, I've missed her
she's gone out It seems.

Shopping I suppose.

At lunchtime?

That doesn't sound
like Tuppence.

I'd like to know where the
hell you've been all this time.

Look here, would you
mind if we discussed

it over lunch time,
I am rather hungry.

Lost her memory.

That's what the man said.

And that explains why they
looked at me so oddly,

when I spoke of questioning her.

They didn't give you any
sort of idea where Jane was.

I'm an ass, I know, I ought
to have got it out of them.

Somehow, when I came round,

all I could think about was
the Cromenon wasn't there?

Who's Cromenon?

Mr. Carter says he's the man
behind the Russian Revolution

but I think Because Mr.
Browns spokesman,

not the mastermind himself,
Moyes masters voice

if you know what I mean.

Excuse me sir, the young
lady asked me to tell you

that she's gone away.

Gone away?

Yes sir.

She asked for a taxi,
said Charing Cross,

so I thought I mean when
she asked for an ABC.

When did you ask for an ABC?

When I gave her the
telegram sir.

Telegram?

Come at once, mode
has every auction,

great developments Tommy.

You didn't send it?

Of course I didn't send it.

They've got her, damn
they've got miss Tuppence.

Then will just have to
get her back, won't we?

Beresford?

Mmh

I wasn't going to tell you

this but considering what's
happened, I think I should.

This morning, I asked
Miss Tuppence to marry me.

I'd like you to know that
before I suggested anything

of the kind I made it quite
clear that I in no way wanted

to but in between
the two of you.

Tuppence and I are
pals, that's all.

The girl always refuses
what she wants, doesn't she?

You know sort of convention.

Refuses, did you say refuses?

Yeah, didn't I say that?

Yeah, she is wrapped out of note

without any reason to it,
then she left me a note,

I find out what I went
upstairs to pack.

What did you say in the note?

Right here, I've got it
right here see for yourself.

Dear Julius, it's always
best to have things in black

and white, I don't feel I
could be bothered to think

of marriage until
Tommy is found.

Lets leave it till then,

yours affectionately Tuppence.

I thought I'd let you know
that I had my own reasons

for wanting to find her.

Thank you.

Julius, Henry said Tuppence told

the taxi drivers to take
her to Charing Cross.

Well?

Trains for Yorkshire
leave from Kings Cross.

[engine roaring]

I don't think Miss Tuppence
has ever been near this place.

She must have been,
this is the motor house

and maybe a caretaker
or something.

Caretaker, you gotta be kidding,

look around you, who has been
taking care of this place?

Look at that dust, that's
pretty thick,

not a sign of a foot mark.

Let's have a look around.

[upbeat music]

It's Tuppence's

Are you sure?

Absolutely, we found it
together in the park.

Well, that settles it,
she came here anyway

someone must have seen her,

We will raise hell around
here till we find her.

Do you realise we've been
here for two whole days?

We are not nearer
to finding her,

the next Sunday is the 29th,
if we're gonna get her back,

I've got to do it before then.

Her life wouldn't be
worth anything afterwards.

We need help, professional help.

I'm gonna do what we should
have done when we first found

the pouch, go to Scotland yard.

What about Sir James?

What about him?

You said, Tuppence trusted him.

I didn't say I did.

[upbeat music]

Where did you get this clothes?

Where did you find them?

Let me handle this Beresford

[murmurs], its okay honey,

we just wanna know where you
found the clothes, that all.

Over there, by the rocks,

the sea brought them in,
they were wet and sandy.

Didn't think they
belong to anyone?

Was there anything else?

Are you sure,

No one's gonna be
angry with you.

There was something
in this pocket.

There was compact.

The treaty.

Have you a knife Tommy?

Yes.

With the compliments
of Mr. Brown.

[James] Beresford, you
and I have never met,

but I've heard a great
deal about you.

I've just learned from my
friend Carter the tragic news

of miss Cowley's death, I
will not try to comfort you

with platitudes, she was an
unforgettable young woman

and she will not be forgotten.

Time will heal, but possibly

a change of scene might
help it heal more quickly.

I have business interests
in Arizona.

Arizona?

[James] And one ranch
in particular,

which needs a good man who
might take over as a manager.

If you are interested come to
see me, James Peele Edgerton.

Dear Sir James, thank
you for your letter.

I appreciate the thought
that went behind it,

but I'm afraid I must
stay here until I find.

[door knocks]

Julius, look here so
have I'm sure I have.

Julius?

Oh damn.

[upbeat music]

It was a photograph of Jeanette,

the girl who saved my life.

Young man, take my advice
let others fight

this secret battle, its bad
enough that one young life would

have been lost unforgivable
if they were two.

Accept my offer, go to
Arizona concentrate

on your own future, let those
of us like Katherine myself,

whose lives are more
than half over worrying

about the countries.

Don't think I'm not grateful
Sir but I must find out

what happened to Tuppence.

If she is what they
said is true,

then that's something
that has to be avenged.

What about the telegram?

Telegram?

The guard said she received
the telegram,

the one that lured her away?

I don't understand.

It's just possible that
the telegram that you read

was not the telegram was sent.

Perhaps that's why
Henry said Tuppence told

the taxi driver to take her

to Charing Cross when
logically she should

have said Kings Cross, come
on check something like that.

Some men have more power
outside the cabinet than within.

It may take an hour or so.

Probably not the next days or
the price but he was the one

that brought a message
with Miss Kelly

and she hasn't been
back and is no one

in that way is flat
and he is worried.

We're leaving Henry.

This is why you should.

Thanks.

[James] Come at once,

ask the me priors gatehouse
Kent great developments Tommy,

good luck, James Peele Edgerton.

Come in, hello.

Albert sir.

Albert, you knew Miss Kelly?

He was gonna recruit me sir.

Recruit?

For the Secret Service sir.

The crooks haven't gone,
have they sir?

I'm afraid they have Albert.

In the underworld?

They dash it all in this world,
now then I need a good man

to rely on, do you think you
could invent a sick grandmother

or something and get
a couple of days off?

I'm your man sir.

Excellent now Henry, I'm gonna
write a couple of letters,

but I don't want them
delivered until Albert

and I are safely out of the way.

Yeah I am your man sir.

[Beresford] Dear Hersheimmer,

I've tried telephoning
but you were out,

something extra ordinary
has happened.

I've been offered
a job in Arizona

and in the present circumstances
I've decided to take it.

I leave immediately,
goodbye, Tommy Beresford.

Damn fool.

Oh yes about that
party in New York

I couldn't get much I
am afraid right, on top

of about 35 poorly dressed
face very badly disfigured,

still hasn't been identified.

I could identify him,
I can't prove it yet,

but I could identify him.

You're a devious animal,

sometimes I wonder why
we get on so well.

Old School friendships
never die.

True as I've always wanted
if anyone was to run

the elusive Mr. Brown
down, it would be you.

And you my friend
will be the first

to know I promise you, goodbye.

Goodbye.

This arrived for you by hat.

Thanks a lot.

[Beresford] Dear Mr.Carter
something's turned up

that's given me a jar,
I think I know where

the real Jane Finn is and
what's more, I've figured it out

that Tuppence is no more
drown than I am.

I'm going to try to find
her, I've even got an idea

where the papers are,
the last Sunday

I guess and I may be making

an awful ass of myself.

But anyway, I enclose
it in a sealed envelope

for what it's worth.

I'm going to ask you
not to open it until

the very last moment,
midnight on the 28th.

They're desperate to get
hold of the treaty you see

and if they thought that the
papers have been recovered

by us, Tuppences life wouldn't
be worth an hour's purchase.

One last thing, please
have that house

in Soho watched day and night.

Yours, Thomas Beresford.

[upbeat music]

Looks very quiet sir.

Yes, too quiet.

I still have to draw
the enemies far,

you stay here, just watch.

Wish me luck.

Good luck sir.

[faintly singing]

Now go back to whichever
[mumbles]

was you've just crawled out of.

The moment I was running you
off, somebody open the window

and check this out was that
random paperweight yet.

Tomorrow same time.

Albert did you see who threw it?

I couldn't tell who
it was scarf,

anyway selling old to
me because I replied.

You did what?

Well I scribbled a
message wrapped it around

a paperweight and tracked
it back through the window.

What does it say this
message of yours?

That day, whoever it was,
could find it zeroed in.

Your zeal Albert could
be the undoing of us.

[soft music]

[faintly speaking]

Take this to the gentleman

at the end he will give
you 10 shillings.

Dear Tommy, I knew it
was you last night,

they're taking us
away this morning,

I heard something about Wales
Holyhead I think I'll drop

this on the road if I get
a chance yours, Tuppence.

We found this sir,

What about my 10 shillings?

Here's a bob, it was
a very short note.

Thanks very much sir.

Anything the matter sir?

How do you spell
Tuppence, Albert?

T-U-P-P-E-N-C-E

Yes, it's actually
spotted, now look at this.

T-W-O-P-E-N, that's not
right, is it sir?

Someone made a mistake
and I know who.

This is an outrage, do
you mean to kill me?

You didn't worry chromatin
I'm not proposing

to kill you yet, if
you're reasonable that is.

What do you want, money?

No, I don't, I want Jane Finn.

I have never heard
of this, Jane Finn.

You'll tell me now and I mean
now where I can find her.

I dare not, you ask
an impossibility.

Afraid, of whom?

Mr. Brown?

He would kill me.

Glad to hear it because
that makes two of us.

I'm gonna count to five if
you let me get past four,

you won't need to worry
too much about Mr. Brown.

One, two, three, four.

I will do as you wish.

Where is she?

At the gate house, in camp.

[engine roaring]

Now listen to me,

I'm gonna tell you just
exactly what I want you to do,

you're gonna drive
straight up to the house

and you're gonna ask
for the girls.

I never have.

Now listen, you're gonna
ask for the girls

and you sure as hell
better make it good.

Now relax, I'll tell
you a story about a man

I shot once in Alaska.

What are you doing here?

Bring down the girls at once,
there is no time to lose.

Surely you know the plan.

The plan has been changed,
we have been betrayed,

the girls at once because
that's the only chance.

You have orders from him.

Should I be here otherwise?

Hurry.

Come on move, move.

Hold right there.

Julius.

Take it away Miss
Tuppence, move over calmly.

Hold it,

[gun fires]

I said hold it.

[engine roaring]

Don't let them get away

[gun fires]

Are you all right Miss Tuppence?

Of course I am, where's
Tommy and who's this?

Tommy's on his way to Arizona.

Doing what?

Tommy thought you turned
up your toes.

[gun fires]

Lean in everyone.

It's your covenant,
I persuaded him

to come on this trip for
the sake of his house.

They know I have betrayed them,

my life won't be safe
an hour on this country.

My advice to you
is to make tracks

for Russia and fast,
pull up miss Tuppence.

[upbeat music]

Stop, stop.

Jeanette are you all right?

Jeanette, is that
what you call her?

Its her name isn't it?

This is a real original
James Finn you're looking at.

[tyres screeching]

[upbeat music]

[gun fires]

Let me out its me
they are after,

let me out and you will be safe.

I guess there's nothing wrong
with your memory is there?

Been fooling them all this time.

Well you listen to me,

cousin Jane, I've come all
the way over here to here

to try and find you and sure

as hell I'm not going
back without you.

[upbeat music]

Is it left or right Julius?

Right,

Sorry.

Tommy.

Hello.

Where the hell have you
come from Beresford?

I was in the bushes by
the drive, hung on behind,

couldn't let you before
the pace you were going,

rocking shots, a lot of them.

Now then you girls, get out.

Out?

There was a station
just up that road.

You don't think you can fool
them by leaving the car.

You and I aren't going to leave.

You are out of your mind,

you can't let the girls
go off alone.

Take her with you and
do just as I say,

take the train to London,
go straight

to Sir James Peele Edgerton,
you'll be safe with him.

You're crazy, Jane
stay where you are.

Get out both of you
or I'll shoot.

Come on it's all right,
if Tommy sure he is sure.

What the hell?

Dry up Hersheimmer, I
want a few words with you.

At first, well I had no
suspicions but on the boat

to Hollywood I began
to get frightened,

this woman, Mrs. Vandemeyer.

Rita.

She tried to make
friends with me,

but there was something
about her I just didn't trust

and she'd been near me

on the Lusitania when Mr.
Danvers gave me the papers.

I ripped open the oil scan
packet, took out the treaty,

there were only two pages of it

and slipped it between
the pages of a magazine

[upbeat music]

And in the end, I found myself

in the same railway carriage
with Mrs. Vandemeyer after all.

[upbeat music]

After a few moments,
I began to feel uneasy

so I decided to leave
the carriage.

As I tried to get out,
I felt a terrific blow

on the back of my head.

When I came to I was
lying on a bed

in a dirty squalid room
with no windows

and I could hear two
people talking,

one of them was Mrs. Vandemeyer.

They hadn't found the
papers yet and were speaking

of torturing me until they
found out where they were.

Suddenly, something put the
thought of loss of memory

into my head, I opened my eyes

and started babbling in French.

[speaking in foreign language]

Mrs. Vandemeyer called to
the man she has been speaking

to, spoke to me in
French, he asked my name

and I didn't know that I
couldn't remember anything at all.

Suddenly he took hold of my
wrist and began twisting it,

I don't know how long
I could have gone

on but luckily I fainted.

Mrs. Vandemeyer was sweet
as honey to me,

she told me I'd been in
shock and was very ill

and then she left the room.

I saw my coat lying on a chair

the magazine was still
rolled up in the pocket.

I got up as softly as I could,

very gently I took hold

of one of the pictures
in the room.

One of Marguerite with
her casket of jewels,

the back of the picture
was quite loose.

I took the treaty out
of the magazine

and slipped it between the
picture and it's back end.

[soft music]

Then the paper are still in
the back of that picture,

We must get that at once.

Tonight?

Tomorrow may be too late,
besides by going tonight we have

the charts of capturing Mr.
Brown I'm sure it is his plan

that we have laid him
and he imagines the risk

is not great since he will
enter in the guise of a friend.

You knew who Mr. Brown
is, don't you?

I've been certain for some
time, ever since the night

of Mrs. Vandemeyer's
mysterious death,

there we were up against
the logical facts,

either she took the
chloral herself or else.

Yes.

It was administered in
the brandy you gave her,

only three people touched
that brandy.

You Miss. Tuppence, I
myself and one other.

Julius, what are you saying?

That Julius is Mr. Brown?

Julius my cousin?

Not your cousin,

the man who calls himself
Julius Hersheimmer

is no relative of yours.

I don't believe you.

Or the real Julius set out
to look for you that much

is true but three weeks ago,
his body was found in New York.

Sharply dressed, the
face disfigured

to prevent identification.

Julius Hersheimmer
ceased to exist,

Mr. Brown took his place.

[upbeat music]

Upstairs.

No one has come into the
house so far the police

are quite sure of that,
anyone who attempts

to enter after us will be
arrested straight away.

I've got it, at last.

We've succeeded

It was in this room

that our young friend
was confined

for long, is it not?

The Truth is in this room,
you'll notice the absence

of windows and the thickness
of the close fitting door,

whatever took place
in here will never

be heard by the outside world.

You've sensed danger Miss
Tuppence, so does miss. Finn.

You feel, as we all feel
the presence of Mr. Brown.

In this house.

In this room.

You?

That's right miss
Tuppence, I am Mr. Brown.

Who said just now
we had succeeded?

I have succeeded, the
draught treaty is mine

and in two days time this
country will be mine.

But that's madness.

Absolute power, is that
so mad to dream?

Many men have had that dream,

I shall be the first
to realise it.

You will never get away with it.

People trust me my dear, you
did, your friend Tommy did,

the only one who didn't
was the American

and he will soon be dealt with.

And us?

Neither of you will leave
this room alive.

Should I tell you
how it will be?

Sooner or later the
police will break in

and they will find three
victims of Mr. Brown.

Three, not two you understand?

Fortunately the third will
not be dead only wounded,

and will be able to describe

the attack in a wealth
of detail.

The treaty of course

is in the hands of the
assassin Mr. Brown.

Once you outwitted me,
you will not do it again.

[screams]

[gun fires]

You.

[speaking in foreign language]

[upbeat music]

[speaking faintly]

Beresford, Beresford,

please tell me when did you
first cast me as the villain?

Oh, well, like you,

I suppose I realised

that Mrs. Vandemeer
hadn't committed suicide,

only two people could
have killed her.

One was Sir. James

pillar of the establishment

seemingly totally above
suspicion and you.

About whom we knew very little.

Thank you.

Well, we knew he was the
third richest man in America.

[laughs]

We knew he claimed to
be, sorry Julius,

then I found that a photograph
of Jeanette in the drawer

and realise she had
to be Jane Finn,

even if you didn't
note yourself.

But you said that that
photograph had been taken

from you by inspector Brown.

Well, I was telling you
the truth it had.

Then how did you get
it back again?

Believe it or not, I found it.

In the safe in Mrs.
Vandemeyer's bedroom?

Right.

I knew you were lying when
you said you'd found nothing.

The one thing

that always puzzled me was how
they linked me with the Ritz.

Now, as far as I was aware,
only three knew, Tuppence,

Julius and Mr. Carter, it
wasn't until after I got free

that I discovered one other
person knew, Sir. James

and that it was immediately
after he'd been told

that I was ordered to be killed.

I couldn't quite make a
decision, Sir. James or Julius?

Well, I had one big
advantage over you,

I knew it wasn't me.

[laughing]

Yes, well, I kept an open mind,

I left that note about Arizona

for you so you'd think
you had a clear field,

then went see Sir. James and
told him everything I knew.

Everything?

Except where I thought
the treaty was.

But when did you know
it wasn't Julius?

When I got the bogus note it
was printed, not handwritten,

but it was really the signature
that gave it away, Tuppence.

Good thinking Tommy.

Well, it's the right way
to spell it, isn't it?

T-W-O-P-E-N-C-E,

but only someone who had
never seen your signature

would have spelled it like that.

Julius had seen it, you
wrote him a note once.

How do you know about that?

Oh, there's quite a lot I know
that you don't know I know.

If you knew it wasn't Julius,

why did you hold him
up at gunpoint?

I knew that unless Sir.
James was actually caught

in the act so to speak, Mr.
Carter would never believe I'd

have him on my word alone.

Yes, to my eternal shame,
you're right.

The girls had to lead
Sir. James to that house

and the Marguerite picture,
on the way up I told Julius

the whole story.

The Bears would have
said that I would never

have believed Sir James Peele
Edgerton would be guilty,

unless he was caught in the act.

Well, he was an old friend,

a close friend but I didn't
know that he was also a madman

and in this diary of his where
all the details of the coup,

the courage of you young
people has reverted

to be no general strike
now, no revolution.

The country came perilously
near it.

So I'll give you a
toast, the joint venture,

which has so amply justified
itself, by success.

[Everyone] Joint venture.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That was fun wasn't it?

Rather.

I like Julius.

You're not to marry
him, do you hear?

I forbid it, absolutely,
do you understand?

He doesn't want to marry me,

he rarely only ask
me out of kindness.

Oh really?

It's quite true, he's head
over heels in love with Jane.

I expect he's proposing
to her now.

They'll do for each
other very nicely.

Don't you think she's the
loveliest creative ever seen?

I dare say.

But I dare say you prefer
sterling worth.

Don't you tell Tuppence
you know.

By the way, what
will you do now?

As your uncles decided
to give you

an allowance will you
accept Carter's offer?

Or Julius's invitation
to work in America?

I shall stick to the
old ship I think

but it's awfully good
of Hersheimmer,

besides I feel it'd be
more at home in London.

I didn't see where
I come into it.
