Original subtitles

Well, well, if it isn't the Duchess. All hands on deck. Take salute.

Go away.

You're fighting the fish.

You want to watch out. Someday you'll catch one.

Someday I... Oh.

She's got one. I'll have it fried tonight.

I'm awfully sorry. I wonder if you would help me.

I'm looking for a boat called the Bonaventure.

The Bonaventure?

Yes, I believe the skipper's a man called Morgan. I believe he is. Well,

I've been to Griffith Bay and Hawke's Cove, and an old boy told me to try

here. You better ask Habermas. His office is just down there.

Thanks awfully.

Duchess Ahoy.

She's coming to tell us about the one that got away.

Well,

if I'd have known you were coming, I'd have washed the deck. I don't know what

you're up to this time, Morgan, but I thought I'd come and warn you. There is

a man looking for you.

There's a lot of people looking for me, honey, but not as cute as you.

Well, this one has a gun.

I wonder which little nose father that could be. Let's see.

There was that redhead down the next door, then there was... Look here, I

really don't care if you've got six bullets in your head. It might knock

some sense into it.

Oh, now, wait a minute, Dutch. You should... Look out, here comes father.

Hello.

We both got here together, didn't we?

My name's Hobart, Major Hobart. I take it you're Morgan. So?

I wonder if we could have a word together. Free country.

Alone, on that. We're as good as alone now. This is Dusty, my maid of all work,

and this is Miss Lisa. She's a writer. Of course, she's only interested in

romance. You don't happen to have a nice romance for her, do you?

All right, Dusty, check the stores, and I'll meet Chef at the loft. Aye, aye,

Skip. He's too young for the redhead from Exeter.

What's on your mind?

You know, you're a difficult chef to find. I said, what's on your mind? I've

got a job for you. What kind of a job? The kind you specialize in.

Meaning what?

Look here, Morgan, we don't have to beat about the bush. Well, why don't you come

to the point? Who put you on to me? Oh, people.

A rather important chef wants to charter your boat.

Sorry, not for hire. That's not what I hear.

Now listen, you. No, you listen.

Someone wants to pay you a fat price.

Nice to have met you.

Look here, Morgan.

This isn't running a fiddling Swiss watches or cut price liquor. This is

big. How big?

Meet me in London at 11.30 tomorrow, Parliament Square, block of offices

opposite Big Ben.

Doesn't this important chef have a name?

At 11.30 tomorrow.

Quite an important name, too.

Supposing I don't like the job? I think you'll like it. Does he carry a gun,

too? A gun? As a matter of interest, what make is yours?

I'm afraid I don't understand, old man. I just hope you got a permit, that's

all, because anything illegal makes me nervous, old man.

I can see where you're going to get along famously.

Yeah. I love you, too.

I can't stand it. The suspense is killing me. Who was he?

Front for some guy in London. What's the job?

I don't know. Something big, he said.

To bring it in or take it out? We'll know tomorrow.

Don't go walking into some excise trap.

He was too obvious to be excised.

Are we shaving for tomorrow or is there a gala party tonight?

How long you been working for me? Nearly eight years. Have I ever included you in

my toilet arrangements?

Never. Well, then that's why you're the scrubbiest, mangiest-looking fugitive on

the seven seas.

Tell

me

something. Can you keep a secret?

Yes.

Not a single bullet hole.

Look, Morgan, if you came here just to... I came up here to eat.

You came here to eat? That's right.

Tell me, you always cook with a screwdriver?

I'm trying to fix a typewriter. A typewriter? Ah, delicious.

I bring you a small hors d'oeuvre.

Oh, I'd hate to think what's in here. Something you always wanted.

Well, that's an odd way to type. How do you do that? Standing on your head or

with mirrors?

This thing's probably blown a fuse.

I stopped it.

Oh.

Now you've got G trouble.

Everything goes along fine, then all of a sudden you've got G's on top of a

mountain.

Morgan, for heaven's sake.

Kind of cute, isn't she? I thought you might like to say you caught her. I

won't bleed a word. I ought to cook it and make you eat it.

I'd eat more than that, Duchess. Now we said we won't start all this again.

You said, not we said.

Must we have a fish come between us? You are too loud.

Now, Morgan, please.

Okay.

Open it up. I'll get in too.

Oh, you are a big fool.

How can you expect anyone to take you seriously?

Oh, here it comes again. Why don't you get a steady job? You're wasting your

life. You're fighting a losing battle.

It's the only battle I know.

You don't really believe that.

Listen. For two years they taught me how to run blockades and slip patrols. How

to get stuff into occupied Europe. And they gave me medals for it. Then one day

somebody hollers Pax and suddenly the whole job becomes undesirable.

Values change.

Did I change them?

No, but you better accept them.

I'll make you some dinner.

All right.

Maybe I do one more job and quit. I said maybe. Put some plates in the oven.

Then maybe I'd make enough out of this job to take some time off and learn

something else. I'm still talking maybe. Then what? The eggs are in the fridge.

Never mind the eggs.

Then what?

Why don't you quit now?

And if I do, what do I get?

You might get me.

And if I don't?

You still get an omelet.

If you pass me the egg.

Didn't expect to see you this morning. Hiya, Bert.

How many?

If you're carrying anything, feed it.

Fill her up. I'm quite empty. That's just what I like, sir.

Empty customers.

Means more money for me.

There's a spot car on the other side of the road.

All right for oil and water, sir?

Yeah, they're fine.

They got McBride this morning.

Who got him? Special branch.

The heat's on.

Well, there you are, sir.

Now, let me see. That'll be, uh, 35 and 8. Never mind about paying. Feed it.

Thank you very much, sir.

for London.

You're late, old man.

He doesn't like to be kept waiting. Neither do I. Let's go.

No, no. This isn't the place.

Well, that's stupid, you know.

You mean it's an act?

What did this guy do? Want a sweepstake?

Tell the Baron we're here, will you? Sir?

Baron? I'd have worn my best suit.

Baron who?

Keller.

20,000 oil wells and he needs me? The Baron doesn't need anyone, old man. He

just hopes you'll do business.

Yeah, I read about some who wouldn't.

No.

No, not one more penny.

So you will crash.

Console yourself.

It will only be a little crash.

What? Mr. Hobart and the gentleman.

Gentlemen in, Hobart out.

Mr. Morgan, pray be seated.

I fear you have had a long and tiring drive. Now I'm here. Of course. I will

come straight to the point.

But first let me explain that this has nothing whatever to do with my business.

It is a personal matter, very close to my heart.

Like money?

No, Mr. Morgan.

There are more important things than money.

Do tell me.

A debt of honor.

And I am a man who believes in paying his debts.

Such a debt I owe to a man who helped me many years back in my own country.

When I had a country.

Until a month ago, I did not even know if he was still alive.

I then discovered that he was in Prague, attempting to escape from that unhappy

city. I have contrived to bring my friend as far as Hamburg, where he now

is without passport or papers, until I can send somebody for him.

Somebody I can trust.

Somebody like yourself, Mr. Morgan, who has experience in these things. Please

help yourself, I am neglecting you.

I realize, of course, that I'm asking you to break the law, and that grieves

me. For I am a child of honesty.

What can I do?

It is not for personal gain, it is a moral obligation.

No opium?

His name is Kudnick.

Paul Kudnick.

He is now hiding at number 17 Ludwigstraße.

Hamburg. Now tell me the real story.

You don't believe me? How much you're paying? Two thousand pounds.

Sure I believe you.

Continue.

Hope you didn't mind my sitting down to wait.

Hiya, Mr. Parkinson.

And to what do I owe this pleasure?

You left your ignition key in, Mr. Morgan.

Very unwise.

There's a lot of crooks around these days.

Yeah, that's true.

Who wants to talk to me now?

Special Branch, Colonel Patchway.

Okay, where to?

Of course. You haven't been there yet. Just make for Kensington.

Egerton Gardens.

I see you came prepared for a siege.

You never know. You might have got lost in the one-way street.

Morgan, sir.

Colonel Patchway.

Take a seat, Morgan.

Thank you.

Just as you like.

I came to arrest you, Morgan, and I want to tell you why.

I just caught a friend of yours, McBride. Another so-called buccaneer.

You and your boat were mentioned in the proceedings.

Names, dates, places.

It's a pity because there are other names and dates and places on your

record.

Your service activities brought you a DSO. Your civilian activities will bring

you a good long jail sentence.

What are you arresting me for? A number of offences. Petty smuggling, aiding

illegal entry. First you've got to have evidence.

You're giving us all the evidence we need.

We have a two-term dossier here and your coming isn't going.

Unabridged and illustrated?

I guess you'll listen to this month.

You outran a French Coast Guard boat on the 5th.

On the 6th, you evaded a customs patrol boat off Penzance.

You docked at Wayneport on the 7th, and you sailed again on the 10th, supposedly

for Portsmouth.

But you turned up in Rotterdam. So you've got yourself a peephole with a

long telescope.

If I dock and sail 24 times a night, is that illegal?

I never assisted a legal entry in my life. Not yet.

Go ahead and arrest me.

This I'd like to see. I think it's some slight misunderstanding. I didn't say

that I was going to arrest you today or tomorrow. Perhaps not this week at all.

But next week or the week after.

Fine. I'll see you then.

Now you go right ahead while the weather lasts and give us all the evidence we

need. You need more than evidence, Colonel. You need a longer telescope.

Well, don't get up. I'm in.

Well, the fisherman is a woman. I thought you were in London.

That just shows you how careful you've got to be.

You might have said, Morgan's in London. Now look at all the things that I can

get up to. You want to get a welcome?

No, you do not.

You go outside, knock, and wait till you're told to come in.

I might have found a strange man in here. Instead, I find my favorite

Dutchess working.

I like to have people reading your stuff, huh?

Quite right. Just like painters.

No conceit until it's finished.

I'll trade you a surprise for a kiss.

What sort of a surprise?

What sort of a kiss?

Not even sisterly. You want to bet?

Put a piece of paper in that gadget.

Go ahead. I want you to type something for me.

We'll see how to get this just right put at the top and cash

for sale Newly rigged and fitted

The Bonaventure Welcome glad

type and get the kiss ready

Did it you did it?

Okay, let me get your coat My coat. There's a nip in the air tonight.

Where are we going? We're going to celebrate on board. Dusty's prepared a

farewell dinner in the ex-skipper's cabin. His omelets are torture, but if

you'd care to risk it... I'd risk anything tonight.

Why sentiments exactly?

Admiral aboard.

Is that the best face you can muster? This is a celebration.

Let's smile.

Cheer up, Dusty. There'll be other boats. Not like the Bonaventure that

won't. It's like having a child rested from your bosom. Get below with your man

and watch your tongue.

He's not used to having a woman aboard.

It's no fault of the woman.

You know, I have an idea this is going to be quite an evening.

It's quite an evening already.

Last celebration we had was 1946 when we christened her.

Flutter is served.

Come on.

This we call the banquet room.

And over here...

We call the surprise room.

Surprise room.

Morgan. Duchess.

Look, as soon as we're clear of the harbor, we'll leave. Where are we going?

Next stop, Hamburg.

Hamburg?

This is some kind of a funny joke. Uh-huh. And it's on you.

I suppose asking you to put me ashore immediately is a waste of breath.

Complete.

I'll have to know why.

Sure. Because this is one trip I don't want Hagerton Gardens to know about.

Two miles out, Skip.

Unless she's a channel swimmer, she'll never make it now.

Fine. Let's eat now and discuss your career afterwards.

For a man who is so smart about everyone else, you are incredibly dumb about you.

Listen, Doctor, can't you drop something into his head? Oh, no, ma'am, not a big

mutiny. Remember, it's your duty to warn him that anything he says may be taken

down and twisted and used in evidence against him. I don't think that's fair.

That makes two of us, Duchess.

Sure, I've been dumb, but then I didn't know special branch gave courses in

romance.

Now get below and have your dinner before I return the compliment.

Or don't you have an appetite?

I'd like to give you a news item.

Because I want to see what it does to that bug look on your face.

It's about Interpol.

Interpol, as you know, is international police.

Right now, they're waiting for a man to be smuggled out of the continent.

They don't know from where.

But they're covering the whole coast from Skagarek to Gibraltar.

And they don't know by whom.

But they think it might be why a petty pirate called Morgan on a boat called

upon a bench.

Now let's go below and have dinner.

Or do you have an appetite?

Good morning, good morning.

Never has a hatchway framed such a pretty picture.

Why are we stopped?

Well, I shouldn't really tell you, miss, but it's because this is a very

dangerous position on the move and I can't swim.

What are you doing?

Removing the name.

You're going to sail without one?

Oh, no, no, no.

We're going to give her a new name.

The skipper thought of calling her Interpol, but he felt that might be a

bit impertinent.

Did he now?

Yes, he did.

I trust you're feeling a little more tractable this morning?

For heaven's sake, Morgan, have a little sense.

Do you think that changing your name will fool anybody?

I'll tell you what I do think. I think you better go put on some clothes and

come up on deck.

Because the law has absolutely no dignity with its head sticking out of a

hatchway.

You know, I had an uncle once who got his other end stuck to it. I don't care

to hear about it. How's it coming? Well, hurry up on the other side. We've got to

be in Hamburg before the tides change.

There's a boat.

Customs patrol boat. I'll start the engine. You'll do nothing of the kind.

You'll stop jumping around. If we can see them, they'll be watching us through

glasses right now.

You'll walk very slowly and casually over to the port side and drape a

tarpaulin over the unpainted side.

Oh! Hey!

Open the door!

Be a good girl and shut up! Let me out!

Shut up!

All covered. You're going to kidnap the radio.

You're going to make sure she's quiet. How?

You're a man of the world. Hey, wait a minute! Now listen!

The Pista!

I'm almost tempted to come aboard.

Grasping! Is that any way to treat a lady? And before breakfast?

She's had her breakfast. Two of my fingers.

How were they?

Sorry about that, Duchess.

Just so I can get into training.

Do we have to go through all this again in Hamburg?

No, not if you're a good girl and stay in your cabin.

I'm afraid you have a big surprise coming to you. So have you missed if you

sit on that death charge?

Death charge?

Relax, will you? We only use it to celebrate births, christenings, and

marriages. And we're ready for a christening now.

Lettering's a bit shaky, but I have to finish it left-handed. Ah, trim little

craft, neat lines, cute little stern.

What else could I call it? The Duchess.

Come on over here. Let's do this thing properly.

I rechristen this ship, The Duchess.

Morgan, you're mad.

Don't worry. That one's full of bricks.

We call it the ditch-it-quick machine.

And one peep out of you in Hamburg and I may set you on a real one.

Full speed ahead.

Aye, Skip.

Breakfast for the beautiful spy?

Ah, skip.

Stop, Andrew.

Help,

I've been kidnapped.

Tell Colonel Patchway.

I must be psychic.

You're a silly girl. I was just going to parole you to see the sights.

Look, Morgan, do you think I want to play it this way?

Do you think I get a kick out of seeing you walking headfirst into jail? You

should have joined the Salvation Army. They reform better than the police.

All right, Morgan.

But I warn you, I'm going through with this. I got news for you, Duchess. So am

I. Here's some working clothes. You can give this place the feminine touch.

Oh, uh, just to show you there's no hard feelings. When you get back to England,

you and Patchway can have the exclusive story.

I'll mail it to you.

Okay, Dutty, this is it.

Keep your fingers crossed I'll be back before dark. You mean I can't take a

look at Humber? You take a look at that girl and keep looking. She's just

bubbling over with duty.

Do you want adventure?

Do you crave excitement? Do you wish to see the world? Join the blockade busters

and end up babysitting. Well, that's better than jail sitting in it. What if

she kicks a bolt, Harry? So let her.

She'll get laryngitis. No one's going to hear her in this berth. I'll get Emil to

refuel for you, but nobody else comes near the boat. You've got smallpox on

board or something.

Nobody comes aboard. I'm going to have a fine time, aren't I? Where are you

going? Ludwigstrasse, wherever that is. And have the engines running from 1900

hours onward.

Ludwigstrasse.

Where's that no-good scoundrel you call a boss?

In his office.

The one he eats in or the one he counts his money in?

Money.

One moment, please.

Life is so complicated.

First the French franc goes up, and the March goes down, and the Brésil goes

down, and the Swiss franc goes up.

How can I balance my bundles? I should have your problem. You could make a

useful time. I've got a Swiss contact who wants to run 3,000 watches to

England. I'm not interested.

Why, you come here. I want information, money, and refueling, in that order. How

do I get to the Ludwigstrasse? Well, it's near the Reeperbahn. You take a

taxi, otherwise you get lost.

Now, you can trust the Swiss. 3,000 watches. I'm going to go on my own this

time. What's the safest? No questions. Gate on the docks today.

Well, gate 7. Ask for Fritz.

Pay you in any currency you like. Does this face mean anything to you?

What should it mean to me? I don't cook the movies.

How much money?

500 marks.

Ah, you wouldn't kill me, would you? Yes, I'm trying to forget faces.

But first I have to see faces to be able to forget them.

That I've never seen.

Here, sign.

All this trust I like. Oh, I trust you, but you're not Swiss. No, no offense.

No offense.

Where are you taking this, man?

Who said I was taking him?

But I have to charge you for using my ducks. 500 marks.

Fuel, 600 marks.

Provision, 300 marks. But please, 50 marks. 50 marks. What does it cost me to

braid around?

Oh, money, money, money. What does it mean, money? It's a cipher. I make money

to bribe men because I got to bribe men to make money.

Soft or confusing?

What do I tell my Swiss contact about the watch? Tell him I got a watch.

Excuse me. Where do I find Fritz?

You

Fritz?

Yeah. From Emil.

Give that.

Ludwig Strasse.

You speak English? Uh-huh.

You wait here for me? Uh-huh. I'll go back to the docks.

Oh, is Herr Kudnick here? Nein. I was told that he was.

You want something, please? I want to see Herr Paul Kudnick.

Herr Kudnick?

Who sent you, please?

Look, I'm a busy man. Is he here or isn't he?

Come in, please.

I ask.

In here.

How do you find this place?

My father was a bloodhound.

Please? Nothing.

I want to see Paul Kudnick.

You're a friend of Dr. Herr Kudnick?

No. I don't even know the man.

So sorry.

I send for Herr Kudnick now.

Thank you.

You will sit down, please?

No, thanks.

My blood circulates better this way.

You wish to see me?

I wish to see Paul Kudnick.

I am Paul Kudnick.

Oh.

Well, I feel kind of silly now that I'm here.

There's a fellow down at the docks that owed me some money, 50 marks. He didn't

have it. He said, you see Paul Kudnick and he'll give it to you. I hate to ask

you for it, Mr.

Kudnick, but I've come all this way.

50 marks, eh?

Well, it may not sound like very much to you, but it's a lot of dough. Of course,

of course.

Let me see what I can do for you.

That leaves you owing me about £3,500.

You want another game? No, no, I can't afford it.

All right.

Let's stop playing acting dusty.

You are worried and I am worried.

He should have been back by now, shouldn't he? He would have been back if

I'd been there. Look, he said he was going to Ludwigstraße. Why don't you go

now? Because I've got to stay and watch you.

Who told you? I never told you. What number, Ludwig Strasse? Dusty, what

number? Don't you start trying to work on me. I've been vaccinated against

police women. Look, look, Dusty, we could both go. He may need some help.

Look, I give you my word of honour, I stay by you.

Don't you trust me?

Like my sister.

She's in jail.

Thank you.

Listen, it's impossible.

We have to work faster.

We told you that we have to do it all right, didn't we? Enough!

He said that we will meet the rest in the quarry, in Anbek.

In Anbek? Well, yes, in Anbek. And the rest in America, we will leave here.

Oh, damn it!

Oh, no, I don't believe it.

What kind of havoc have you caused on the boat? What did you do with Dusty? He

got knocked out. I had to move him. Oh, sure you had to.

What time do patchways in the Marines happen? For heaven's sake, I'm here to

help you. Who are those Russians?

Russians? Yes, I heard them talking. You understand Russian?

A little.

All part of the course, huh?

They're taking some men away to Arnbeck.

They're not taking anybody anywhere.

Morgan, if this is serious, we can get some help.

We are not going to do anything.

I didn't invite you to this, Ballra. Don't you see you're going to sit this

dance out? But, Morgan... Listen, will you?

Stay in here.

Probably stop a bullet out there.

You want to play rough, huh?

All right, rough it is!

I think we both ought to sit this one out.

They took him.

Look, drop it. Please, Mark, drop it. I should have got him. I'll get your

doctor. I don't want a doctor. I want Klingbeck. I'm going to get him and

neither of you pass away or Unapola's going to stop me. This place may be

hundreds of miles. This place? What place?

Unbeck. Unbeck?

Yeah. You heard Unbeck.

Yeah.

You would do better to sit down. Sit down?

I've been lying down for hours.

We can do nothing but wait.

How fast do your police work?

I mean, if they got him, would we know yet? And where's Emily?

Emily's busy.

If they got you, Captain, some old telephone and...

Ja,

hallo.

Ja, Captain.

Nein, Captain, Emily's nicht da.

Not at this moment.

Skip? Holy catfish, you had me worried.

Where are you?

The girl got away.

I know.

I'm in a booth in the Reaper Bomb and things are jumping. Are you hurt?

Only me proud. I was joined by a dame.

Yeah, I know. It happens to the best of us. I'm sorry.

She's sorry that you're not hurt. For never, sir, Dad.

Yeah, she's right here. Now, listen. Don't talk. Listen to me.

I've got to have Amy. I'll urge it. If he's not there, find out where he is. I

can't move till I know.

He wants Amy. Quick.

Mustn't interrupt Amy.

Pardon me a moment.

Where is Emil, you square-skulled squire? Where he is, he doesn't want to

be disturbed. He'll be disturbed even if I have to pull him out myself.

All right, all right, I tell.

He's with his fräulein at the Planten und Blumen.

He's at the Planten und Blumen.

The Planten and what?

Spell it!

Spell it? It's enough, I should say it.

Tell him, Squaredead.

Planten und Blumen.

P-L-A-N...

Dusty, she's all yours. Wait, what goes on? Morgan, let me come. I was a help,

wasn't I? Sure you were a help, but you can't play with the big boys. Back to

the ship and don't go near her. Put your food under the door. Look, this is

something bigger than smuggling.

You've got to tell me one thing. Where's Emil? That's a coffee by the fountain.

How are you with the law against me?

Supposing I should ask you the same question?

Right now, I wouldn't know how to answer it.

Take care of him, Dusty.

I didn't mean to hurt you, Dusty.

There'll be others getting hurt before this is done.

Come on.

Fire, bitte.

Danke.

This is urgent.

Morgan, this I don't like. I have an office. There's no time for an office.

Minutes are precious. Later, later. Not later, right now. Listen, if you make a

scene here, I'll have you thrown out. You do, and you'll throw out $5,000.

I have it.

How much? I want to talk.

Alone. Oh, she doesn't understand English. Sit down. People are looking.

Where's Hanbeck?

Hanbeck is a little village six kilometers from the eastern border. How

far from here?

Well, it's just about an hour's ride by car. Have you got a truck?

Yes, why?

I want it. And you?

About this $5,000.

It's yours for transport and help. Good, strong help. Right now.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

35,653 inhabitants.

The six men, you, France, and me, we only got to question 3,000 each. If it

was easy, I wouldn't need you. Let's get moving.

How many frontier checkpoints are there? Two, but something is not right. Anvik

is no place to pull people across the border.

The old war fortifications run three ways around the town. Here.

They're going to try to find some way to get him through a checkpoint. You all

set?

Let's move.

Yeah, but why do they make it so difficult? No, no, something is not

right. All right, so we play, Hunter. Okay, for $5,000, I play anything.

Never mind it. Get the lighter ready. Let's tromp on it.

We've gone off the main road.

Well, let's find it again.

What's the map say? I think we're lost.

Oh, fine.

Wait a minute. Listen.

Switch off your motor.

Switch it off, quick.

It's a car.

That's no car, my friend.

This is going to be on foot. I just hope you got the right party. I hope I got

the right hunch.

Bring him through the woods.

then now that's when you do it.

You're gonna run it, Javier. Can you make it? I try.

Okay, Pop.

Up you go.

Come on, get this thing turned around.

Come on, Pop. Wake up.

Wake up, Pop.

Be aboard and away soon.

You will never get me away from them. They are everywhere.

So am I. Just you relax and take it easy. Before you know it, you'll be safe

at sound and Keller's office.

Sometimes I think it would be better if... Ah, there.

Wipe your face.

Come

on,

Doc. Put on some kind of a smile. They are everywhere, I tell you.

If it's trouble, step on it and duck.

Tell him

to get

going.

for Brits not to be on Gate 7.

Brits don't go out till lunchtime.

Make yourselves scarce, Pop.

How is that?

It's normal.

Go right up. I can kiss you, Brits.

Get moving, Frank. Straight to the boat.

Let's hope those engines are running.

For the love of Pete.

million American cigarettes.

Never mind your cigarettes. How do we get to the boat past that lot? Why today

of all days.

Watch out.

Can you turn in this space?

Just about.

Then get your wheels turned and stand by.

Wait a minute. I agree with you, but a gun won't help us now. Don't ask any

questions. Get out of here. Aren't you a little late with such obvious advice?

Move, you fools. Move. The boat's gone.

Quick, away.

Oh, good. Gone where?

Oh, good. You heard me.

Gone where?

Down into the old landing stage.

My landing stage? Yes. A man came, one of the old men. Told us there was a raid

coming. Oh, good. I can't breathe.

It's a police car.

Now how do we get out of here?

There's a railroad that runs up the main walk. You have to take a chance up that

line. Never a done woman with you, is there? I told him all about it. Where's

Dusty? He went with the man.

He and Dusty took the boat. How do you say to tell the police? I say to tell

you. Well, he'd better be at that line of states that just sucks all. He just

better be.

When did they leave, Duchess? About 20 minutes before you. You're playing a

dangerous game, Duchess. Dangerous and... Si.

Get down, quick.

Keep quiet.

That's not my boat. I know our engines.

Put it on the bill.

You're okay?

Oh, sure, fine. Broken skull, broken shoulder. How are you, Doc?

I have not been shot.

These are brave men. You're all right yourself, Doc.

Come, we're far now. I understand you. Come, we're far now.

How soon do we get there?

We're getting closer. The fog has stopped us. In five or six minutes,

depending on the current.

Oh, fine. I'll have six of those and vinegar.

Last day.

Did you hear that? We're here.

Over there.

There you go, Pop.

Hallelujah. I'm glad to see you, Skip.

$5,000.

Next week.

Don't you trust me?

Yes, because I'm weak from loss of blood.

I'll be the same, you old shy lot. Be seeing you.

Yeah, you bet. You ought to pay me for the use of landing stage and Otto's

pilot.

Man. Here.

Have it easy, guy.

Last day.

In the wheelhouse, Kim.

What's going to happen now about me and him?

Well, that depends on several things.

For instance, are you for or against Operation Kudnick?

I'm against killing.

I saw my father shot you in the war. That's why I helped you over here.

Who am I? Who shot him?

The kind of people you were fighting last night.

He was working for Colonel Batchway. I asked if I could take his place.

Well, I'm glad we had something in common, he and I. You had nothing in

common.

Look, Morgan, I don't know who Kudnick is or what he's done, but it's obviously

a political issue. It's your job to turn him over to the authorities.

Why don't you write a message and put it in a bottle and throw it over for

Patchway? He knows it already. He'll be what you could wait for.

Think it over.

How much further do you think you can drive yourself?

Morgan!

Oh, hi.

Dusty! Leave Dusty alone.

You're going to get some, please.

Look at these.

Swiss watches under the potatoes.

There's thousands of them.

Three thousand, I think, Emil said. Well, but... Dusty, take over the wheel.

These are unsafe.

Well, I'd better throw those in the canister in case we want to ditch them

in a hurry.

Okay, Skip, you take them now.

Thank you, thank you, but I've been undressing myself ever since I was five

years old.

Captain. Hi,

Pop.

You get any sleep?

Thank you, yes.

You haven't slept.

I will.

You must sleep.

You need it.

Captain Morgan, why did you do all this for me?

Mr. Keller paid me.

Keller, you mentioned his name before. Who is Keller?

Who is he? He's your buddy. Got you out of Poland.

Perhaps he did. Somebody certainly did.

Tell me something, Pop.

Why is everybody chasing you? You?

Discovered how to make gold?

Yes, I suppose you can say that. You know something of polymerization?

Oh, sure.

It is a process of chemical change where two or more substances combine in such a

way that their whole atomic structure is altered.

And so, of course, a new chemical exists.

A new substance.

What could be simpler?

I was a physicist at the fuel research laboratories in Prague.

I evolved by a similar process of fuel with the most highly volatile mineral

elements known to men. I've evolved the means of multiplying an aircraft's range

by a factor of six.

And now you're the life and soul of the party.

They were too killed as we crossed into Germany.

Yeah.

Pop, if you had your choice, where would you like me to take you?

What does it matter? They'll get me wherever I go.

Would you feel safe with Keller?

I'm in your hands, Captain Martin.

Ah, no.

That's what worries me, Pop.

I want to dress that wound.

Putting me up for the kill, huh?

Wait a minute.

I guess I just get a kick out of fighting with you. I'm sorry.

Come on.

Do me a favor.

Would you?

Please?

You know, sometimes I think what an awful waste of good material you are.

This is going to hurt.

Funny thing, I was just thinking the same about you.

Now, hold it.

Have you decided yet?

Decided what?

What you're going to do about Kudnick.

Oh, sure.

Take him to Keller.

Sell him to Keller. Listen, I took on a job and I get paid for a job. Kudnick

knows where he's going. He doesn't mind. I ask him.

Do you know why he's going there?

Do you?

No.

But I can guess.

He's a scientist, isn't he? On this boat, he's a passenger.

Now, that makes two of us.

Do it again, I like to.

She loves me. She loves me not.

She loves me.

She loves me not.

Say what you like about them continental holidays.

It's always nice to be back again. Yeah, fine.

Now listen. If that girl's telling the truth, they're waiting for us at

Wayneport. As long as she's kept here, they'll go right on waiting. This is

where I came in. She's asleep. I locked her in. Here.

Let's see. Four hours.

Check your watch.

6.47.

Exactly eight hours from now, I want you to turn her loose.

And I'll loose you. Go straight to patchway. That's what I hope.

Keep your engines warm and get the boat turned around.

But, sir, the bandit is about to have his breakfast. Well, fine.

But, sir, you can't. All right, I have a card.

Good morning, Morgan. Not very good coffee. You ought to speak to him about

that. Tell me, does he drop the coffee into the water or pour the water over

the coffee? Where's Goodman? Where I left him.

Some people like drip coffee. Don't play the fool with me, Morgan. Have you got

him? Uh-huh.

Now, I have come to talk terms. Terms?

We talked terms before you went. Yeah, we also talked a lot of guff about

conscience and debts of honor. What exactly do you mean? I mean you're a

liar, Keller.

It was supposed to be a simple job of collecting a runaway pal and slipping

out of the country.

Your, uh, your pal doesn't even know you. You were hired at a price. Price

has gone up.

Enough to cover blackjacks and bullets.

They were shooting?

Where? Oh, you'll read about it. They can't hush this up. There's a whole pack

of them hunting Kudnick. You're just one of them. He's got something that all of

you want, and I know what it is.

Furthermore, I have Kudnick.

Hadn't figured on that, had you?

How much do you want, little man?

100,000 pounds.

How little does that make me? You're a madman. You're so right.

I'll give you just 30 seconds to make up your mind from...

Now. And if I say no?

I'll turn Kudnick over to the authorities. Don't try and bluff me,

Morgan. I'll have you thrown into jail. Oh, no, you won't.

There's a million in this for you, and you know it.

Five to go.

Okay? See you on Wall Street.

Morgan.

Have the money here in cash today.

Then you can take him where you like and how you like, but I'm out of it. Very

well.

Major Herbert will be here at 3 o'clock. I'll give Kutnick to you, not Hobart.

And there'll be no money until you do.

Check. Tell him to bring a car.

With gas, the price it is, it's an expensive drive until you get Kutnick on

the market, huh?

Hobart. Here, three o'clock. Bring a car.

And a gun.

If you promise no funny business, there's tea and sandwiches.

No funny business, Dusty.

How long are you going to keep me here? Only till this evening, miss. They'll

all be back by then.

Oh, what? Sorry I've got to keep you cooped up. But you're such a headstrong

girl, you know.

Oh, well, there's nothing much I can do now.

Morgan's in London, and heaven knows where Kulnick is by now.

Heaven and me, miss.

This is his cup of tea.

Wake up, Doc.

Here's a good old English cuppa.

Well, certainly, Adam, please.

You must have needed it.

Special branch 5B.

Colonel Patchway. Who is that?

Great Scott.

Yes. Yes.

Get this on tape.

Are you all right?

Fine.

I'm still on board. What now?

Falcon, in here.

Where are you talking from?

Somebody at the Thames Estuary.

The exchange is Marsh Fleet.

M-A-R-S-H... Yes.

He left for London early this morning.

Back tonight.

Bringing some other people.

I don't know.

All right.

Now go back to the boat.

Yes, immediately.

If not to leave, then you're not to let the men out of your sight till we get

there. Good luck.

The Bonaventure, Marsh Fleet.

Call a two-county road check, Kent and Essex. Do we know his car? Not a clue,

but there can't be that many cars going to Marsh Fleet. Special Branch, calling

Mobile. He's to be followed, not stopped. Right.

Kestrel, alert Sheerness. Stop powerboat Bonaventure possibly leaving Estuary.

Where have you got this man?

Land's end? No, it's not far now. How far?

Well, to catch a ferry, it's about 15 minutes. If not, it's a half hour.

Hobart will catch it.

All in one piece, if you don't mind. We got a valuable cargo aboard.

I mean the money.

Black Humber making the Marsh Fleet Ferry. Three men and following.

Last one on.

Done. You got contact with the other side? No, sir. Where's the next place

across? Oh, 12 miles up the river. 12 miles?

Well, the ferry will be back before then.

Okay, this is it.

Cash on delivery.

Wasn't that the deal, old man?

Come in, gentlemen, and stay in. What?

First move, stop the bullet. What kind of a trick is this?

The gentleman asked you a question, Duchess. Just sit down.

What goes, Dusty? You said let her go, Skip, so she came back. It is as simple

as that, Morgan. Now sit.

Now you, Kutnik.

So much trouble I cause.

Just sit down, please.

I get cramps easily.

You can last 15 minutes.

Now listen to me.

Drop that gun on the table. Then stand still.

You heard what the man said.

Everyone, still!

All right.

Now everybody does as I say.

Dr. Kutnik, over here, please.

I am delighted to meet you at last.

Baron Keller.

Keller, I owe you my liberty.

You have no more fears, doctor. You are a free man. So I am. And now, my friend,

Sherbrooke. I have a ship clearing there tonight and we're meeting it. What's the

matter with you? Our deal finishes right now. Our deal finishes in South America.

Are you crazy?

See, sir, if it was men without them, I wouldn't be here. You owe them nothing.

You owe me everything.

And you're going to repay for your life with your knowledge. Yes?

Yes. I have plant and laboratories waiting for you.

Now get moving, Captain.

Morgan, they can't sail without you. Why don't you shut up for a while?

Start your engine, Shorty.

What do you want, Skip?

I'll chance it.

Do what he says.

Thank you.

I'll give you your course.

Up to you, Captain.

Not on deck.

You steer from here. Nobody on deck.

This is a matter of interest, Baron. When do I get my money?

You get me to Cherbourg, and I'll spend it.

Doc, I feel kind of sorry for you.

Making a fortune is good, but working with slime is not so good. What's that?

Shit!

Tell him to give more speed.

He can't. You're right, I can't. We must have more speed.

Then get up and push.

Change course. Avoid it.

It's a bit terrible. First time I've been glad to see one. Well, let me get

away. Shut up. It's all right for you. You talked your way out of it with your

checkbook and your lawyers. Stop wearing that gun about to go down on the floor.

You did it, not you. Oh, no, not you. You got me into this and you leave me in

it. You're Baron Kelly. You've got millions. The millions can't stop her.

Pull it back.

through Chateau.

All right, now, I warn you.

I shoot anyone who makes a false move or just show when that boat passes. What

makes you think it's going to pass?

It's a bar bird, all right, but it's not a Bonaventure.

You're doing fine, Morgan. Just keep going.

Dusty, custom troll boat.

Usual avoiding action.

Aye, aye, Skipper.

We've been hit!

Dusty, they put a six-inch brick in us. Any damage, Julian?

Everything seems to be okay.

Cover it in bathtub, see what the damage is.

Okay, Dusty, heave to.

Right.

I'm sorry, Mom. Sorry?

You ought to be ashamed of your department for taking so long. I counted

on the police getting here a lot sooner. What's the matter? Was Patchway in bed?

Good girl you got there, Colonel. Greetings, sir.

Awful waste of talent, her working for you people.
