3
00:01:58,266 --> 00:02:00,598
Excuse me.
This is Park Lane House?
4
00:02:18,119 --> 00:02:20,679
The assignments are ready, Major.
5
00:02:25,193 --> 00:02:29,357
No, no, no. Fill in all 15 forms
and resubmit–in triplicate.
6
00:02:49,784 --> 00:02:53,015
- My name is Stuart. I have
an appointment with Professor Mair.
- Captain Stuart, sir!
7
00:02:53,121 --> 00:02:57,421
The professor is expecting you, sir.
Come this way, sir, if you please.
8
00:03:05,033 --> 00:03:07,365
- Turn seven, miss.
- All right, Sergeant Major.
9
00:03:16,778 --> 00:03:18,712
Professor Mair, sir.
10
00:03:20,815 --> 00:03:23,045
Excuse me, sir.
11
00:03:23,151 --> 00:03:25,119
I think there's some –
somebody at the door.
12
00:03:25,220 --> 00:03:28,155
Mmm. Ask him to come in.
Come in!
13
00:03:28,256 --> 00:03:30,156
Captain Stuart, sir.
14
00:03:30,258 --> 00:03:32,590
All right, Sergeant Major.
15
00:03:32,694 --> 00:03:34,594
Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
16
00:03:34,696 --> 00:03:36,630
You better sit down.
17
00:03:43,504 --> 00:03:45,904
Yes, Taylor. I think you're right.
18
00:03:50,245 --> 00:03:52,145
- I think you're right.
- Thank you, sir.
19
00:03:52,247 --> 00:03:56,115
Professor Taylor's my star pupil with fuses.
20
00:03:56,217 --> 00:03:58,117
Eh, Taylor?
21
00:03:58,219 --> 00:04:00,619
Well, what can we do for you and Strang?
22
00:04:00,722 --> 00:04:03,122
Well, sir, it's a bit top secret, sir.
23
00:04:03,224 --> 00:04:06,284
Oh. Leave us, will you, Taylor?
We'll go on with that later.
24
00:04:06,394 --> 00:04:08,419
- Unless you want to get home.
- Oh – Oh, no, sir.
25
00:04:08,529 --> 00:04:12,295
- Quite sure your wife won't mind?
- No, sh-she'll be all right, sir.
26
00:04:14,736 --> 00:04:17,899
Taylor, put the light on, will you?
27
00:04:19,073 --> 00:04:21,667
So Jerry's dropping
a new secret weapon, is he?
28
00:04:22,506 --> 00:04:24,244
So secret...
29
00:04:24,345 --> 00:04:26,472
we don't know what it is...
30
00:04:26,581 --> 00:04:29,072
or whether he is dropping it or not.
31
00:04:30,451 --> 00:04:33,716
- You got one with you?
- I wish I had.
32
00:04:36,090 --> 00:04:39,253
What I really want, sir,
is a bit of expert guessing...
33
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,296
and some expert advice on how to handle it
when we get our hands on one.
34
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,368
Sammy Rice is your man.
35
00:04:51,039 --> 00:04:52,939
That you, Susan?
Send Sammy up, will you?
36
00:04:53,041 --> 00:04:55,236
- He's gone, Professor Mair.
- Pity.
37
00:04:55,343 --> 00:04:58,073
- Shall I try to round him up?
- Yes.
38
00:04:58,179 --> 00:05:00,511
I'm sending a Captain Stuart down.
39
00:05:00,615 --> 00:05:02,947
Try and get him together
with Sammy tonight, will you?
40
00:05:03,051 --> 00:05:05,110
- I'll try.
- And send up old Taylor.
41
00:05:05,219 --> 00:05:07,187
Straightaway.
42
00:05:08,856 --> 00:05:10,983
Professor Mair wants you, Taylor.
43
00:05:17,799 --> 00:05:20,791
- Can I come in?
- Captain Stuart?
44
00:05:20,902 --> 00:05:23,462
I'm just ringing Mr. Rice's flat.
45
00:05:23,571 --> 00:05:25,539
Thank you.
46
00:05:34,682 --> 00:05:36,673
There's always something wrong
with this line.
47
00:05:56,137 --> 00:05:58,469
One more chance.
48
00:06:13,154 --> 00:06:15,384
Check here for a bottle of brandy. Okay, guv?
49
00:06:15,490 --> 00:06:19,119
I don't care if he is Free French. You gotta pay
cash like everybody else. The Lord Nelson.
50
00:06:19,227 --> 00:06:23,687
- Hello. Is Mr. Rice there?
- Oh, is that you, Miss Susan? Yes, he's here.
51
00:06:23,798 --> 00:06:24,787
- He's there.
- Where?
52
00:06:24,899 --> 00:06:27,060
- I'll take you.
- I say, that's awfully nice of you.
53
00:06:27,168 --> 00:06:29,227
It's not far out of my way.
54
00:06:29,337 --> 00:06:32,898
- Don't let him go, Knucksie. I'm picking him up.
- Trust me.
55
00:06:33,007 --> 00:06:35,703
When can we discuss that, Mr. Moran?
56
00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:38,745
- We'll get around to it.
- Oh!
57
00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:45,412
- I'm dry, Mr. Moran.
- Hey, steam engine's dry. Miles.
58
00:06:48,322 --> 00:06:50,882
- "Propriétaire."
- Hey, Knucksie.
59
00:06:50,992 --> 00:06:52,892
Yes.
60
00:06:52,994 --> 00:06:55,326
- Hey, Dolly.
- Okay, let’s have a drink!
61
00:06:56,464 --> 00:06:58,329
Message for ya.
62
00:07:00,935 --> 00:07:02,903
She says you’re to wait.
63
00:07:06,374 --> 00:07:08,342
How's the foot?
64
00:07:08,443 --> 00:07:10,741
- Which one?
- The tin one.
65
00:07:11,846 --> 00:07:14,041
I saw you kicking at it just now.
66
00:07:15,116 --> 00:07:18,415
Yeah. Well, I've gotta do something.
I can't take it off in here, can I?
67
00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:21,784
- Tried dope?
- You won't give me the dope I need.
68
00:07:22,890 --> 00:07:25,620
No more whisky for you, Mr. Rice.
Not in my bar.
69
00:07:25,726 --> 00:07:28,695
- You can't take whisky.
- No, don’t go, Knucksie. Stay and talk.
70
00:07:28,796 --> 00:07:30,696
Mr. Rice, how can I?
71
00:07:30,798 --> 00:07:32,766
Knucksie, whisky or conversation.
72
00:07:32,867 --> 00:07:35,427
One or the other,
or I start to break the place up.
73
00:07:36,671 --> 00:07:38,605
Miss Susan will be here in a minute.
74
00:07:38,706 --> 00:07:40,674
Coming.
75
00:07:54,555 --> 00:07:56,523
Pardon, mum.
76
00:07:58,259 --> 00:08:00,625
Captain Stuart, Mr. Rice.
77
00:08:00,728 --> 00:08:02,628
- Drink?
- Well, uh –
78
00:08:02,730 --> 00:08:04,823
- I know her tipple.
- Bitter for me.
79
00:08:04,932 --> 00:08:07,332
- The usual, Knucksie, and a bitter.
- Right.
80
00:08:15,676 --> 00:08:17,974
- Mair sent him on to you.
- Oh.
81
00:08:20,214 --> 00:08:22,273
What's it all about?
82
00:08:25,253 --> 00:08:27,221
I'm sober.
83
00:08:30,191 --> 00:08:32,682
It's a bit hush-hush.
84
00:08:33,728 --> 00:08:37,289
All right.
How about my flat?
85
00:08:37,398 --> 00:08:39,366
I'll make you some coffee.
86
00:08:59,186 --> 00:09:02,053
- Well, put me in the picture.
- Yes.
87
00:09:03,157 --> 00:09:06,285
I know it's all a lot of rot, but, um –
88
00:09:06,394 --> 00:09:09,022
Is, uh – Is this what you want?
89
00:09:11,499 --> 00:09:13,467
Yeah.
90
00:09:14,969 --> 00:09:18,302
Well, what's happened is
a kid's been killed in an explosion.
91
00:09:18,406 --> 00:09:20,738
Found a dart
and hit it with a hammer?
92
00:09:20,841 --> 00:09:23,105
We don't think it was quite like that.
93
00:09:28,015 --> 00:09:30,449
We think the kid may have
simply picked it up...
94
00:09:30,551 --> 00:09:32,451
or perhaps only touched it.
95
00:09:32,553 --> 00:09:34,544
Well, why all the cloak-and-dagger stuff?
96
00:09:34,655 --> 00:09:36,680
Accidents do happen in wartime.
97
00:09:36,791 --> 00:09:40,852
- It's hardly in our line.
- We don't think this was an accident.
98
00:09:40,962 --> 00:09:43,396
It's the fourth this week.
99
00:09:43,497 --> 00:09:45,658
And always after Jerry planes
have been over.
100
00:09:45,766 --> 00:09:47,734
You mean they're dropping booby traps?
101
00:09:49,870 --> 00:09:52,771
- Looks like it.
- And always kids?
102
00:09:54,909 --> 00:09:57,070
Three kids and a man.
103
00:09:57,355 --> 00:09:58,868
Hmm.
104
00:09:59,992 --> 00:10:03,860
That's odd it should have been kids
three times out of four.
105
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:09,853
I expect the blasted things are
mocked up as teddy bears or candy bars.
106
00:10:09,957 --> 00:10:11,857
- More?
- No, thanks.
107
00:10:11,959 --> 00:10:14,052
Jerry has a lovely mind.
108
00:10:21,502 --> 00:10:23,800
- No witnesses or survivors?
- No.
109
00:10:23,904 --> 00:10:26,566
- What, nothing at all?
- Well, we did find something.
110
00:10:26,674 --> 00:10:28,574
Oh, come on. Spill it.
111
00:10:29,844 --> 00:10:31,812
After the last incident.
112
00:10:31,912 --> 00:10:34,540
It was in the area of the explosion.
113
00:10:37,018 --> 00:10:38,986
Oh?
114
00:10:47,528 --> 00:10:49,428
- Sammy!
- What?
115
00:10:49,530 --> 00:10:52,465
- Who knows what's in it?
- I do.
116
00:10:52,566 --> 00:10:55,057
Soup. Or coffee.
It's a thermos.
117
00:10:55,169 --> 00:10:57,694
- That's right.
- Oh! I need some coffee.
118
00:11:00,074 --> 00:11:02,872
It fooled a lot of people.
119
00:11:02,977 --> 00:11:06,276
Not you.
It's a Jerry type thermos.
120
00:11:06,380 --> 00:11:10,009
Probably fell out of the aircraft when they
jettisoned the other thing, whatever that is.
121
00:11:10,117 --> 00:11:13,143
- Well, there's only one thing to do
if you want me in on this.
- I do.
122
00:11:13,254 --> 00:11:16,849
Get me in early. Next time it happens,
send me a wire. I'll come, wherever it is.
123
00:11:16,957 --> 00:11:19,687
Thanks.
I'll take you up on that.
124
00:11:19,794 --> 00:11:22,422
Well, I better be moving.
125
00:11:22,530 --> 00:11:24,498
Come back to the local
and have a drink.
126
00:11:24,598 --> 00:11:26,498
No, I must go.
127
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,194
I'm sorry. I don't keep any stuff here.
128
00:11:29,303 --> 00:11:31,396
We're keeping this one for, uh...
129
00:11:31,625 --> 00:11:33,405
V-day.
130
00:11:33,507 --> 00:11:36,305
- No, really, I've got to get back.
- All right. I'll get your coat.
131
00:11:39,447 --> 00:11:42,382
- Can I take you home?
- You have.
132
00:11:42,483 --> 00:11:44,542
Oh.
133
00:11:44,652 --> 00:11:46,313
I live across the hall.
134
00:11:51,258 --> 00:11:53,624
I could put you up
on the settee if you like.
135
00:11:53,728 --> 00:11:56,060
Thanks. I'd sooner get out of town.
136
00:11:56,163 --> 00:11:59,564
- The raids get me down.
- Oh, you get used to 'em, like toothache.
137
00:11:59,667 --> 00:12:01,658
I hate toothaches.
138
00:12:01,769 --> 00:12:05,170
Well, there's nothing like taking a nice
quiet bomb apart to steady the nerves.
139
00:12:06,574 --> 00:12:08,474
- Good-bye.
- Good-bye.
140
00:12:08,576 --> 00:12:12,808
- Mind how you go down the stairs.- It’s a bit dark there. Good-bye, old man.
141
00:12:15,349 --> 00:12:18,876
- Nice chap.
- Mmm.
142
00:12:23,691 --> 00:12:25,659
Oh, dear.
143
00:12:38,305 --> 00:12:40,569
- You know, it's awful about the children.
- Mmm.
144
00:12:40,674 --> 00:12:44,110
Well, if we can get hold of one
of those things and have a look at it...
145
00:12:44,211 --> 00:12:46,805
we can see what it was like
and we could broadcast a warning.
146
00:12:46,914 --> 00:12:48,814
But, Sammy, how would you tackle it?
147
00:12:48,916 --> 00:12:50,816
Oh, damn.
148
00:12:54,355 --> 00:12:56,482
You’ll have the warden after you.
149
00:13:07,568 --> 00:13:10,059
Is it hurting?
150
00:13:10,171 --> 00:13:12,139
Not more than usual.
151
00:13:14,118 --> 00:13:16,018
Why don't you take it off?
152
00:13:22,750 --> 00:13:25,548
- Have you taken your dope?
- No.
153
00:13:28,355 --> 00:13:30,949
Problem.
154
00:13:31,058 --> 00:13:34,221
This dope the doctor gives me
doesn't do my foot any good.
155
00:13:35,296 --> 00:13:37,264
It makes me feel bad.
156
00:13:40,801 --> 00:13:43,463
That noble remedy,
on the other hand...
157
00:13:45,573 --> 00:13:47,541
doesn't do me any good either.
158
00:13:48,676 --> 00:13:51,304
But at least it leaves me not caring
whether it hurts or not.
159
00:13:51,412 --> 00:13:53,972
Would you like a whisky, Sammy?
160
00:13:55,249 --> 00:13:57,376
Mmm. I would.
161
00:14:37,424 --> 00:14:39,654
Why don't you take the thing off?
162
00:14:41,462 --> 00:14:43,987
- You know that helps.
- No.
163
00:14:47,134 --> 00:14:49,295
You do when you're alone.
164
00:14:49,403 --> 00:14:51,871
Why will you keep it on when I'm here?
165
00:14:58,746 --> 00:15:00,714
It's all right now.
166
00:15:22,002 --> 00:15:24,129
Oh! Look. Look.
167
00:15:26,774 --> 00:15:28,799
- Can we have another?
- Yes, sir.
168
00:15:28,909 --> 00:15:31,673
- Ready with another one, Jack?
- Yes, okay.
169
00:15:31,779 --> 00:15:34,509
Fire!
170
00:15:49,496 --> 00:15:52,795
- You reducing the charge?
- Yes, we'll put it down to 60 grams this time, sir.
171
00:15:52,900 --> 00:15:55,425
- Think that'll be better?
- I think so. Yes.
- How's your shoulder?
172
00:15:59,406 --> 00:16:03,206
- What is the, uh, muzzle velocity?
- 1,500, sir.
173
00:16:03,310 --> 00:16:07,576
Now I suppose you people will send in a report
saying the Reeve's gun is a marvelous weapon.
174
00:16:07,681 --> 00:16:10,741
- Depends on the figures.
- Stop playing with figures, my boy.
175
00:16:10,851 --> 00:16:12,751
- Learn something about soldiering.
- Fire.
176
00:16:16,657 --> 00:16:19,683
- He's on the target all right.
- Yes, in 20 seconds.
177
00:16:19,793 --> 00:16:22,489
- What we need is 10 rounds a minute.
- Fresh target.
178
00:16:22,596 --> 00:16:25,895
- You don't like the Reeve's, I gather.
- Heaven make me patient.
179
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,127
- Have you ever fired at a tank?
- Not in anger.
180
00:16:28,235 --> 00:16:32,035
Well, they move, don't they?
They crawl about. They-They zigzag.
181
00:16:32,139 --> 00:16:35,165
- They don't like being shot at.
- You think the Reeve's is difficult to handle?
182
00:16:35,275 --> 00:16:37,869
- Are you ready?
- I think the sort of chap we have to use...
183
00:16:37,978 --> 00:16:40,412
- couldn't get a moving tank
in his sights in a week.
- Fire!
184
00:16:42,883 --> 00:16:45,943
- Good man.
- Come on. I've seen enough.
185
00:16:47,855 --> 00:16:50,756
Can't quite understand your outfit.
What do you call yourselves?
186
00:16:50,858 --> 00:16:53,827
I don't think we call ourselves anything.
We're just Professor Mair's research section.
187
00:16:53,927 --> 00:16:55,827
- Well, who do you come under?
- Nobody.
188
00:16:55,929 --> 00:16:58,830
Professor Mair's got a lot of contacts, of course.
He's an old friend of the minister's.
189
00:16:58,932 --> 00:17:00,832
I know that, but you haven't got
any establishment...
190
00:17:00,934 --> 00:17:03,528
or terms of reference or anything –
anything old-fashioned like that?
191
00:17:03,637 --> 00:17:06,105
Not as far as I know.
We just tackle any job we're given.
192
00:17:06,206 --> 00:17:08,436
You know, this thing's spreading.
The country's crawling...
193
00:17:08,542 --> 00:17:10,442
with this and that
chap's research outfit.
194
00:17:10,544 --> 00:17:15,004
They don't belong to anybody.
They don't report to anybody.
195
00:17:15,115 --> 00:17:17,811
- Do you?
- No.
196
00:17:17,918 --> 00:17:21,012
No responsibility and lots of power.
197
00:17:21,121 --> 00:17:23,089
It's not right, you know.
It's not right.
198
00:17:24,124 --> 00:17:27,355
- Got any service personnel?
- Yes. A few.
199
00:17:30,030 --> 00:17:32,521
I don't know how it's done.
200
00:17:32,633 --> 00:17:34,601
Figures!
201
00:17:43,444 --> 00:17:45,344
- Morning, Crowhurst.
- Morning, sir.
202
00:17:45,446 --> 00:17:48,381
Morning, Mr. Rice, sir.
Mr. Waring's been agitating for you, sir.
203
00:17:48,482 --> 00:17:50,382
Thank you, Sergeant Major.
204
00:17:56,523 --> 00:18:00,459
Hello, Madeleine?
Hello, darling. Sammy's just got in.
205
00:18:00,561 --> 00:18:03,121
No. No, it's hardly out of my way at all.
206
00:18:03,230 --> 00:18:05,357
I'll get it. Yes, of course I will.
207
00:18:05,466 --> 00:18:08,435
Till, will you stop that filthy row,
for Pete's sake. Hello, darling?
208
00:18:08,535 --> 00:18:10,867
It's Till on that ghastly robot of his.
209
00:18:10,971 --> 00:18:13,371
- There's an extraordinary thing here, Sammy.
- Really, darling?
210
00:18:13,474 --> 00:18:16,409
- Has the Reeve's report come in yet?
- On your desk. Yes, darling.
211
00:18:17,711 --> 00:18:20,077
Sammy.
212
00:18:20,180 --> 00:18:24,344
- Yes?
- You know those penetration of armor plate
figures that E.W.E. Sent us?
213
00:18:24,451 --> 00:18:26,351
Yes.
214
00:18:26,453 --> 00:18:30,355
Well, there's a positive correlation between
penetration and the height of each man firing.
215
00:18:31,492 --> 00:18:34,859
Easy. The taller the man, the more rarefied
the atmosphere, and the less the air resistance.
216
00:18:34,962 --> 00:18:36,862
- All right, darling.
- You think that might be it?
217
00:18:36,964 --> 00:18:38,761
Would be if they hadn't all been lying down.
218
00:18:38,866 --> 00:18:41,596
Oh, they were lying down, were they?
219
00:18:41,702 --> 00:18:44,000
- Yes.
- Oh. How much do you want of it. Hmm?
220
00:18:44,104 --> 00:18:47,540
- How on earth did you manageto get their heights anyway?
- Thought they might be interesting.
221
00:18:49,576 --> 00:18:51,771
How do you spell it?
222
00:18:51,879 --> 00:18:54,575
Spell it, darling.
223
00:18:54,681 --> 00:18:56,581
Yes?
224
00:18:56,683 --> 00:18:58,583
No, of course I've got time.
225
00:18:58,685 --> 00:19:00,846
How was the Reeve's?
226
00:19:00,954 --> 00:19:04,947
Oh, so-so.
Let's get the figures out, Tilly, and we'll see.
227
00:19:05,058 --> 00:19:07,618
- I'd better have a complete analysis.
- Aha.
228
00:19:07,728 --> 00:19:10,629
Sorry, darling. I must go now.
Tea's up. Bye.
229
00:19:13,767 --> 00:19:15,667
Well, I'll be –
230
00:19:15,769 --> 00:19:18,602
- What's the idea of the partition?
- Inner sanctum.
231
00:19:18,705 --> 00:19:23,199
- "R.B. Waring" on the outer door. "State your
business to the secretary," et cetera.
232
00:19:24,778 --> 00:19:27,269
- How'd he fiddle the permit?
- Don’t ask me.
233
00:19:32,619 --> 00:19:34,519
Is he inside?
234
00:19:34,621 --> 00:19:38,182
With four telephones and furniture
to match and a third of my window.
235
00:19:38,292 --> 00:19:40,260
Hmm.
236
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:43,124
Pretty mean.
Free for lunch?
237
00:19:44,898 --> 00:19:47,059
- Busy day?
- You bet.
238
00:19:47,167 --> 00:19:50,364
Not a moment has been wasted from
R.B. Waring's point of view.
239
00:19:51,672 --> 00:19:54,698
- He'll be bagging a carpet next.
- He's got one.
240
00:19:54,808 --> 00:19:56,776
Come in.
241
00:20:00,581 --> 00:20:02,481
Oh, hello, Sammy. Want me?
242
00:20:02,583 --> 00:20:04,483
No, but I've got to have you.
243
00:20:05,719 --> 00:20:07,687
Well, you've gone very grand.
244
00:20:07,788 --> 00:20:09,983
Well, I got fed up with
working off kitchen tables.
245
00:20:10,090 --> 00:20:12,650
Look at the conditions you all
work under. It makes me wild.
246
00:20:12,759 --> 00:20:16,490
Well, it was darn nice of you to get yourself
all this stuff for my sake – and Susan's.
247
00:20:16,597 --> 00:20:19,794
Go on, you bitter old devil. You know
you don't care where you work, but the...
248
00:20:19,900 --> 00:20:21,800
sales side has to impress people.
249
00:20:21,902 --> 00:20:23,836
Our Sue will tell you that.
250
00:20:24,095 --> 00:20:25,962
You’ll be carrying an umbrella next.
251
00:20:26,073 --> 00:20:28,541
You know, Sammy...
252
00:20:28,642 --> 00:20:30,542
young Sue's a remarkable woman.
253
00:20:30,644 --> 00:20:32,737
This is a beautiful job.
254
00:20:32,846 --> 00:20:35,644
Beautiful.
But I need three copies at once.
255
00:20:35,749 --> 00:20:38,274
One for the minister,
one to Professor Mair and one to me...
256
00:20:38,385 --> 00:20:41,582
all marked "most secret," and there’s
a note to go with the minister’s too.
257
00:20:41,688 --> 00:20:43,679
As quick as you can.
How long will that take?
258
00:20:43,790 --> 00:20:47,419
Three hours,
if I don't go to lunch.
259
00:20:47,527 --> 00:20:49,791
Well, must you?
260
00:20:49,896 --> 00:20:52,694
- Girls do eat.
- Well, can’t you send out for something?
261
00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:54,767
I tell you what I'll do.
262
00:20:54,868 --> 00:20:56,995
I'll buy you some tulips for your desk.
263
00:20:57,104 --> 00:21:00,096
- Yellow ones?
- Enormous yellow ones.
264
00:21:01,208 --> 00:21:03,176
All right.
265
00:21:06,546 --> 00:21:08,514
There's a good girl.
266
00:21:11,318 --> 00:21:14,219
You see, Sammy?
Everybody's got a price.
267
00:21:14,321 --> 00:21:17,222
Now tell me about the Reeve's.
Good show?
268
00:21:17,324 --> 00:21:20,122
- Oh, moderately.
- What did you think of it?
269
00:21:21,228 --> 00:21:24,891
- Till will need a few days on the figures.
- Oh, figures. How'd you like it?
270
00:21:24,998 --> 00:21:28,559
- Plenty of snags.
- Oh, it's not perfect yet.
Needs cleaning up. That's easy.
271
00:21:28,669 --> 00:21:32,105
- Holland took against it too.
- Well, luckily the thing’s been soldabove Holland’s level.
272
00:21:32,205 --> 00:21:36,437
- Sold?
- Yes, I made the old man take me roundto see the minister, and I put it across to him.
273
00:21:36,543 --> 00:21:39,103
- He's all steamed up.
- What'd you sell it to him on?
274
00:21:39,212 --> 00:21:42,545
What the stars foretell for this week–
or just intuition?
275
00:21:42,649 --> 00:21:46,050
- No, the idea's right.
- It may be, if the figures say what we want.
276
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,680
- They'll have to. After what I told his nibs.
- What do you mean they'll have to?
277
00:21:49,790 --> 00:21:54,090
Now look here, Sammy.
Don't let yourself be impressed by soldiers.
278
00:21:55,662 --> 00:21:58,426
I've noticed that whenever we disagree
with the military we're always right...
279
00:21:58,532 --> 00:22:01,968
except that they have to use the stuff
and trust their lives to it and we don't.
280
00:22:02,069 --> 00:22:04,936
Medals have an emotional appeal
for you, Sammy.
281
00:22:05,038 --> 00:22:07,563
Now mark my words.
Nobody gets medals for having brains.
282
00:22:07,674 --> 00:22:09,574
- Holland has brains.
- Oh.
283
00:22:09,676 --> 00:22:12,577
- Ganglia. Antennae.
I wouldn't put it higher than that.
- And he knows his job.
284
00:22:12,679 --> 00:22:16,877
Oh, Lord, how sick I am of these people
who know their jobs.
285
00:22:16,983 --> 00:22:18,917
Except you and me, Sammy.
286
00:22:20,020 --> 00:22:21,988
Except you and me.
287
00:22:34,735 --> 00:22:36,760
Look. Look.
288
00:22:39,673 --> 00:22:42,369
Morning, Lascomb.
Hello, Dibley. How are you?
289
00:22:53,587 --> 00:22:55,487
Morning. How are you?
290
00:22:55,589 --> 00:22:58,057
- Morning, Mr. Pinker. Very well, thank you.
- Good. Waiter.
291
00:22:58,158 --> 00:23:00,718
- Yes, sir?
- Is the saddle still on?
292
00:23:00,827 --> 00:23:03,193
- Yes, sir.
- Right, I'll have it, and, uh...
293
00:23:03,296 --> 00:23:05,196
oh, a thick soup,
pint of Hollistry, please.
294
00:23:05,298 --> 00:23:08,165
- Very good, sir.
- Hello, Sammy.
295
00:23:08,268 --> 00:23:10,168
Hello, Pinker. Sit down.
296
00:23:10,270 --> 00:23:13,262
Well, how's everything going
with the back room boys?
297
00:23:13,373 --> 00:23:15,864
- Have we won the war yet?
- Nobody tells me anything.
298
00:23:15,976 --> 00:23:20,037
Well, I think I've made
a substantial contribution today.
299
00:23:20,147 --> 00:23:23,048
- Godshall is going.
- You fired him.
300
00:23:25,452 --> 00:23:27,443
Body was riddled with bullets.
301
00:23:31,091 --> 00:23:34,857
You know, we need
a new permanent secretary.
302
00:23:34,961 --> 00:23:38,829
Higgins is a dear good soul,
but there's a war on.
303
00:23:38,932 --> 00:23:41,867
- Well, why don't you just fire him too?
- He's on the list.
304
00:23:41,968 --> 00:23:44,630
I'm having a drink with, uh –
305
00:23:44,738 --> 00:23:49,072
with the minister's principal
private secretary's cousin tomorrow.
306
00:23:51,812 --> 00:23:54,144
I shall drop a little poison in his ear.
307
00:23:54,247 --> 00:23:57,273
- Gangster stuff.
- No orchids. Master Higgins.
308
00:23:58,852 --> 00:24:02,015
- That boy Waring.
- Well, what about him?
309
00:24:02,122 --> 00:24:04,249
- Moving in very high society suddenly.
- Yes.
310
00:24:04,357 --> 00:24:06,985
And old man Mair.
I hope he isn't going political.
311
00:24:07,093 --> 00:24:09,084
That was a good outfit of yours
when it started.
312
00:24:09,196 --> 00:24:11,164
Well, what's wrong with it now?
313
00:24:14,734 --> 00:24:16,702
Is the Reeve's gun any good?
314
00:24:18,472 --> 00:24:22,499
- What do you know about the Reeve's?
- I know Mair and Waring saw the minister about it.
315
00:24:22,609 --> 00:24:24,577
I suppose you were under the table.
316
00:24:24,678 --> 00:24:26,669
You'd be surprised.
317
00:24:26,780 --> 00:24:29,374
Look. You like old Mair, don't you?
318
00:24:29,483 --> 00:24:30,814
- Mmm.
- Yes.
319
00:24:30,917 --> 00:24:33,385
- I'm very fond of him.
- Grand old man of science and all that.
320
00:24:33,487 --> 00:24:36,684
But have you ever thought where your section
would be if there was a change of minister?
321
00:24:36,790 --> 00:24:38,758
Why? Are you gonna have him fired too?
322
00:24:38,859 --> 00:24:42,158
Does, uh, Mair want a knighthood?
323
00:24:42,262 --> 00:24:44,822
- No, I shouldn't think so.
- Well, then who wants what?
324
00:24:44,931 --> 00:24:46,990
Come on. It's pretty obvious
that somebody wants something.
325
00:24:47,100 --> 00:24:50,558
Who's the ambitious boy? Waring?
326
00:24:50,670 --> 00:24:54,629
You're all right. Everybody knows that.
You're the brains of the outfit.
327
00:24:54,741 --> 00:24:56,800
Waiter. The bill.
328
00:24:58,712 --> 00:25:01,704
Bertha, give the bill to
my civil service friend, will you?
329
00:25:01,815 --> 00:25:04,867
Yes, Mr. Rice. John.
330
00:25:05,285 --> 00:25:07,253
- What are you getting at?
- Sammy...
331
00:25:07,354 --> 00:25:10,414
I want you to meet
a very important man – tonight.
332
00:25:10,524 --> 00:25:14,255
Uh-uh. Not tonight.
Never on a Wednesday night.
333
00:25:14,361 --> 00:25:18,661
I have a very important conference
every Wednesday night at the Hickory Tree.
334
00:25:49,529 --> 00:25:51,429
- Waiter!
- Sir?
335
00:25:53,099 --> 00:25:55,226
Oh, never mind.
336
00:26:16,022 --> 00:26:18,718
- I thought you were never coming.
- I didn't leave the office until 8:00.
337
00:26:20,694 --> 00:26:24,460
- What's wrong, Sammy?
- Nothing. But you know how I hate being alone.
338
00:26:31,504 --> 00:26:34,769
- Well, did R.B. Cough up the tulips?
- Oh, yes. He's a man of his word.
339
00:26:34,874 --> 00:26:37,365
- What did you do with them?
- Put them on my desk.
340
00:26:37,477 --> 00:26:40,002
What else should I do with them?
341
00:26:40,113 --> 00:26:43,947
Couldn't find it in your heart to slap his face
sometime when he does that stuff, could you?
342
00:26:44,050 --> 00:26:47,611
- I can't afford luxuries.
- You could get another job.
343
00:26:47,721 --> 00:26:49,985
Would you rather I did?
344
00:26:50,090 --> 00:26:52,058
He doesn't paw or anything.
345
00:26:52,158 --> 00:26:54,183
I should hope not.
346
00:26:54,294 --> 00:26:56,262
So should I.
347
00:26:57,998 --> 00:27:01,229
But, you see, darling,
he doesn't know about us.
348
00:27:23,490 --> 00:27:25,720
Sue...
349
00:27:25,825 --> 00:27:27,816
you could have
such a good time without me.
350
00:27:30,730 --> 00:27:33,028
I take things from you
with both hands.
351
00:27:35,101 --> 00:27:37,569
I always have...
352
00:27:37,671 --> 00:27:39,639
and I always will.
353
00:27:41,975 --> 00:27:44,876
I keep kicking this foot of mine, and...
354
00:27:44,978 --> 00:27:48,436
when I have a bad patch,
I like someone to flutter around...
355
00:27:48,548 --> 00:27:51,016
so that I can be
a perfect swine to them.
356
00:27:53,853 --> 00:27:55,821
And you seem to like it.
357
00:27:57,424 --> 00:28:00,086
But one of these days
you're going to get tired of it.
358
00:28:01,261 --> 00:28:03,525
And when you do...
359
00:28:03,630 --> 00:28:06,827
I want you to be able to put the whole thing
in the wastepaper basket...
360
00:28:06,933 --> 00:28:09,128
and forget about it in 10 seconds.
361
00:28:11,271 --> 00:28:15,765
Wouldn't it be silly to break up
something we both like doing...
362
00:28:15,875 --> 00:28:18,435
only because you think I don't like it?
363
00:28:19,479 --> 00:28:21,504
Yes.
364
00:28:21,614 --> 00:28:25,812
You've got it all worked out
in the way women always have.
365
00:28:25,919 --> 00:28:29,912
They don't worry about anything
except being alive or dead.
366
00:28:30,023 --> 00:28:33,015
And being dead to them
means beginning to smell.
367
00:28:35,528 --> 00:28:38,929
Yes. You take it,
and you make what you want of it.
368
00:28:44,504 --> 00:28:47,166
I don't know why we trouble
to come out at all, Sue.
369
00:28:47,273 --> 00:28:49,741
Let's have an economy campaign
and stay in for a few weeks.
370
00:28:49,843 --> 00:28:52,243
I'll take you up on that.
371
00:28:54,414 --> 00:28:57,076
Hello. I say, our last economy
campaign's not finished yet.
372
00:28:57,183 --> 00:28:59,413
I could have told you that.
373
00:28:59,519 --> 00:29:01,419
- Quick. Talk to me.
- Why? Who is it?
374
00:29:01,521 --> 00:29:03,819
It's Gillian. She's an incendiary bomb.
375
00:29:03,923 --> 00:29:07,450
"I never nursed a dear gazelle,
to glad me with its soft black eye." Um –
376
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,757
- "And when it came to know me well –"
- "...and love me, it was sure to die."
377
00:29:10,864 --> 00:29:15,130
Why, Sue! Fancy meeting you here
after all these years.
378
00:29:15,235 --> 00:29:17,135
Well, I am surprised.
379
00:29:17,237 --> 00:29:19,137
How are you, darling?
380
00:29:19,239 --> 00:29:21,298
Darling, this is Norval.
381
00:29:21,407 --> 00:29:25,275
Norval, do come here.
You must know each other.
382
00:29:25,378 --> 00:29:27,903
- Norval, this is Sue.
- How do?
383
00:29:28,014 --> 00:29:30,448
How do you do?
Mr. Rice.
384
00:29:30,550 --> 00:29:32,450
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
385
00:29:32,552 --> 00:29:34,679
What a piece of luck,
dropping on you, darling.
386
00:29:34,788 --> 00:29:36,779
I simply dragged Norval here.
387
00:29:36,890 --> 00:29:39,723
You see, he’s a simply whizzer dancer...
388
00:29:39,826 --> 00:29:43,922
and has the foulest contempt for any
ordinary two-footed person like little me.
389
00:29:44,030 --> 00:29:46,590
Susan's the best dancer I know.
390
00:29:46,699 --> 00:29:50,760
It would be good for you to dance
with anyone as good as Susan, you snake.
391
00:29:50,870 --> 00:29:53,532
- Care to?
- I don't think so. Thanks.
392
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,098
Oh, but, darling.
Darling, you must dance with Norval.
393
00:29:57,210 --> 00:29:59,144
Dancing with Norval is an experience.
394
00:29:59,245 --> 00:30:02,476
He’s marvelous! He is! Really.
395
00:30:02,582 --> 00:30:05,745
Go on, Sue. One shouldn't miss
experiences like that.
396
00:30:13,626 --> 00:30:16,288
- I don't dance.
- Not at all?
397
00:30:16,396 --> 00:30:18,296
I'm a long-distance sitter-out.
398
00:30:38,218 --> 00:30:40,846
They make a perfect pair, don't they?
399
00:30:53,967 --> 00:30:56,492
Why don't you dance, Mr. Rice?
It's very easy.
400
00:30:56,603 --> 00:30:59,367
- Too old and too lazy.
- It'll be nice for Susan.
401
00:30:59,472 --> 00:31:02,270
- A lot of things would be nice for Susan.
- But you ought to dance.
402
00:31:02,375 --> 00:31:04,275
Why?
403
00:31:04,377 --> 00:31:07,175
Men and women are all the same
when they dance.
404
00:31:12,452 --> 00:31:14,545
Crowhurst! Crowhurst!
405
00:31:15,105 --> 00:31:16,554
Soldier!
406
00:31:16,656 --> 00:31:19,682
Come on, Sammy. We've only got a few minutes.
I've sent Rose out for some whisky.
407
00:31:19,792 --> 00:31:23,558
You know, there isn't even a drink in the place.
Old Mair couldn't sell life insurance to a ghost.
408
00:31:23,663 --> 00:31:25,995
- I'll ring you back.
- Don't tell me the commission's coming.
409
00:31:26,099 --> 00:31:28,294
Commission? What commission?
410
00:31:28,401 --> 00:31:30,733
The minister's coming.
He'll be here at any minute.
411
00:31:30,837 --> 00:31:33,738
The old man's bringing him.
Now you've got to put on a show, Sammy.
412
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,865
Find something he'll understand.
413
00:31:36,910 --> 00:31:40,107
- You gonna have the cap in, sir?
- Yes, I think so.
414
00:31:40,213 --> 00:31:43,307
- A bit queer, isn't it, sir?
- He won't know any different.
415
00:31:56,930 --> 00:31:59,956
Do you think it'll, uh,
amuse the m-m-minister, sir?
416
00:32:00,066 --> 00:32:02,500
Sure to. Probably never
heard of a photoelectric cell.
417
00:32:02,602 --> 00:32:05,332
Uh, sh-shall we clean up, sir?
418
00:32:05,438 --> 00:32:08,896
No. Put out all the fuses you've got.
The more the merrier.
419
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,906
- What's that for?
- Mair's office. My tulips.
420
00:32:17,016 --> 00:32:19,644
- This one too.
- I've mocked up that phony
experiment for you, Sammy.
421
00:32:19,752 --> 00:32:22,687
Oh, thanks. Till, come and be the minister.
Ask some intelligent questions.
422
00:32:22,789 --> 00:32:26,281
Oh. That looks very nice, Mr. Rice.
423
00:32:26,392 --> 00:32:28,360
Uh, what, uh, is it?
424
00:32:28,461 --> 00:32:31,157
Now this, Mr. Minister, is part of
some experiments we're carrying out...
425
00:32:31,264 --> 00:32:34,495
- to produce a new gas
by a process of distillation.
- Mm-hmm.
426
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,194
Now I can quite easily demonstrate
its efficacy for you by...
427
00:32:37,303 --> 00:32:40,397
placing a piece of ordinary
cotton wool in this bowl.
428
00:32:40,506 --> 00:32:43,566
Oh, come on, Tilly.
Play up. Take an interest.
429
00:32:43,676 --> 00:32:46,873
And then you will see that by the addition
of just one drop of this liquid...
430
00:32:46,980 --> 00:32:49,471
it becomes instantly combustible.
431
00:32:49,582 --> 00:32:51,743
Ooh! I say. He ought to love that.
432
00:32:51,851 --> 00:32:55,378
It's a shame we haven't a few paper chains
and a bunch of mistletoe for the old boy.
433
00:32:55,488 --> 00:32:57,422
Hey! Here they come!
434
00:33:02,395 --> 00:33:04,920
Uh, this way, Minister.
435
00:33:05,031 --> 00:33:07,431
Very good. You know,
you get a bottle of wine there.
436
00:33:07,533 --> 00:33:09,228
I always think that helps nowadays.
437
00:33:10,770 --> 00:33:12,829
Ah. Good morning, gentlemen.
438
00:33:12,939 --> 00:33:15,373
So these are the back room boys, eh?
439
00:33:15,475 --> 00:33:18,911
- Yes. This is where all the work is done.
- Yes. Not very luxurious, is it?
440
00:33:19,012 --> 00:33:21,776
Still, I always say the barer the room
the better the work.
441
00:33:21,881 --> 00:33:24,315
- I must remember that.
- It was the best we could get.
442
00:33:24,417 --> 00:33:27,284
Oh, that looks nice.
What's that?
443
00:33:27,387 --> 00:33:30,584
- That, uh, well –
- Sammy, what is this?
444
00:33:30,690 --> 00:33:33,716
Oh, this, Mr. Minister, is part of a series
of experiments we're conducting...
445
00:33:33,826 --> 00:33:37,956
to produce a new gas,
uh, by a process of distillation.
446
00:33:38,064 --> 00:33:40,089
I can demonstrate its efficacy
for you quite easily...
447
00:33:40,199 --> 00:33:43,930
by placing a piece of ordinary
cotton wool in this bowl.
448
00:33:44,037 --> 00:33:48,997
And, uh, then you'll see that by the addition
of just one single drop of this liquid –
449
00:33:49,108 --> 00:33:51,542
Uh, I shouldn't stand
quite so close, if I were you, sir.
450
00:33:51,644 --> 00:33:55,136
Uh, it becomes immediately combustible.
451
00:33:55,248 --> 00:33:58,240
- Oh, that's funny.
- Oh, well, I expect you'll get it right soon.
452
00:34:00,209 --> 00:34:02,143
That's better.
453
00:34:06,159 --> 00:34:09,754
- Uh, do you mind, Minister?
- No, no. Carry on. Carry on.
454
00:34:11,230 --> 00:34:14,927
- Professor Mair's research section.
- Is that you, darling?
455
00:34:15,034 --> 00:34:17,901
Is that you, Joe?
I want to talk to Joe.
456
00:34:18,004 --> 00:34:19,972
Wrong number.
457
00:34:22,842 --> 00:34:26,243
- Oh, that's a Cambridge spark galvanometer.
- Oh, Cambridge. Yes.
458
00:34:26,345 --> 00:34:29,143
Oh, and that little monster–
is that another invention of yours?
459
00:34:29,248 --> 00:34:31,978
Oh, no, no, no.
That’s an electric calculating machine.
460
00:34:32,085 --> 00:34:34,383
- Does sums, sir.
- Oh, really, really.
461
00:34:34,487 --> 00:34:36,455
Oh, well, we must give it something to do.
462
00:34:36,556 --> 00:34:40,322
Uh, divide, uh, 5162 by, um, eight.
463
00:34:40,426 --> 00:34:42,223
That's 645.25, sir.
464
00:34:43,329 --> 00:34:46,389
Oh, yes, but you mustn't keep a dog
and bark yourself, you know.
465
00:34:46,499 --> 00:34:48,524
Check it up. Check it up.
466
00:34:52,972 --> 00:34:55,236
Oh, I say. That's really first class.
467
00:34:55,341 --> 00:34:57,241
I must have a go at this.
468
00:34:57,343 --> 00:34:59,470
Uh, now then, let's give it
something really difficult.
469
00:34:59,579 --> 00:35:01,479
- One by 17.
- Is that difficult?
470
00:35:01,581 --> 00:35:03,549
Oh, well, we can soon see.
471
00:35:05,865 --> 00:35:08,513
You have to clear it first, sir.
472
00:35:10,556 --> 00:35:14,083
You set up one there,
and you bang out 17 there.
473
00:35:14,193 --> 00:35:16,991
Press that, sir.
474
00:35:25,972 --> 00:35:27,405
0588 –
475
00:35:27,507 --> 00:35:31,273
- .05, sir.
- .05882352941.
476
00:35:31,377 --> 00:35:32,984
Wonderful.
477
00:35:33,202 --> 00:35:35,932
- And all from one.
- Extraordinary.
478
00:35:36,215 --> 00:35:38,308
I wonder if you'd mind
writing that down for me.
479
00:35:38,417 --> 00:35:40,544
I should like to take it home to my wife.
480
00:35:40,653 --> 00:35:43,781
They like it so much, you know,
if you take a real interest.
481
00:35:43,890 --> 00:35:45,790
- There you are, Minister.
- Oh, thank you very much.
482
00:35:45,892 --> 00:35:48,986
I wish you could invent me something
that would write speeches. Good ones.
483
00:35:49,095 --> 00:35:51,086
Ah, yes.
Or answer questions in the House for you.
484
00:35:51,197 --> 00:35:54,462
Yes, that'd be even better.
Well, it's been most interesting.
485
00:35:54,567 --> 00:35:57,593
Thank you so much, gentlemen.
Most interesting.
486
00:35:57,703 --> 00:35:59,603
Uh, oh.
487
00:35:59,705 --> 00:36:01,673
I was with the prime minister last night.
488
00:36:01,774 --> 00:36:05,403
I thought perhaps you'd
like to know he's, uh, very confident.
489
00:36:05,511 --> 00:36:08,412
I'll tell you another place
where they give you a very good meal.
490
00:36:08,514 --> 00:36:11,506
- Now, if you mention –
- Oh, no. This way, Minister.
491
00:36:11,617 --> 00:36:13,585
Yes, yes, yes.
492
00:36:26,566 --> 00:36:29,296
- Hello?
- Hello, darling!
493
00:36:29,402 --> 00:36:32,269
- Hello, Madeleine, darling.
- Joe, was that you just now?
494
00:36:32,371 --> 00:36:34,271
No. Of course it wasn't me.
495
00:36:34,373 --> 00:36:36,841
A minister of the crown...
496
00:36:36,943 --> 00:36:40,640
and he's never seen
a calculating machine before.
497
00:36:54,527 --> 00:36:58,156
- I saw Pinker at lunch.
- He's a gremlin.
498
00:36:58,264 --> 00:37:00,789
- Says the minister's on his way out.
- Nonsense.
499
00:37:10,376 --> 00:37:12,344
Let them off first, please.
500
00:37:15,147 --> 00:37:17,843
What if he does go?
501
00:37:17,950 --> 00:37:19,918
Pretty obvious, isn’t it?
502
00:37:27,793 --> 00:37:31,524
- You know, if the minister goes, the old man goes.
- Well, you don't have to go too.
503
00:37:31,631 --> 00:37:34,429
But I like working for him. It wouldn't
be the same working for anyone else.
504
00:37:34,533 --> 00:37:36,558
You could do it as well
as anyone else – better.
505
00:37:36,669 --> 00:37:40,901
- I couldn't run a fruit machine.
- Oh, you say so. I say you could.
506
00:37:46,612 --> 00:37:48,603
Darling, I'm sorry.
507
00:37:55,054 --> 00:37:57,352
Let's stand.
I can't sit any longer.
508
00:38:11,737 --> 00:38:13,637
I must have a drink.
509
00:38:13,739 --> 00:38:15,639
Ask me to have a drink, woman.
510
00:38:15,741 --> 00:38:17,800
Have a drink, Sammy.
511
00:38:18,911 --> 00:38:20,879
Whisky?
512
00:38:22,982 --> 00:38:27,282
No, thanks, Susan.
I'll have some of my nice medicine.
513
00:38:29,789 --> 00:38:31,757
Sammy.
514
00:38:57,216 --> 00:38:59,184
Darling.
515
00:39:00,853 --> 00:39:02,821
Do you want dinner?
516
00:39:04,156 --> 00:39:06,124
Do you?
517
00:39:17,670 --> 00:39:19,638
Let it ring.
518
00:39:37,757 --> 00:39:39,725
Hello, Snowball.
519
00:40:04,450 --> 00:40:07,578
It’s like a nasty, vicious little man.
520
00:40:07,686 --> 00:40:09,654
It’s like Pinker.
521
00:40:11,690 --> 00:40:13,658
Who cares?
522
00:40:17,830 --> 00:40:19,855
Oh, Sammy, it might be Stuart.
523
00:40:21,934 --> 00:40:23,902
Oh, blast.
524
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,967
Blast and blast.
525
00:40:33,612 --> 00:40:35,637
- Yes?
- Telegrams.
526
00:40:35,748 --> 00:40:37,648
- Yes.
- Telegram for Rice.
527
00:40:37,750 --> 00:40:40,014
- Yes.
- Message reads:
528
00:40:40,119 --> 00:40:44,556
"Bala, B-A-L-A, North Wales,
as soon as you can.
529
00:40:44,657 --> 00:40:46,557
Signed Stuart."
530
00:40:46,659 --> 00:40:49,492
- Shall I repeat that?
- No, thanks. You've done the damage.
531
00:40:49,595 --> 00:40:52,155
- Pardon?
- Granted.
532
00:40:55,868 --> 00:40:57,893
Oh, Sue.
533
00:40:58,003 --> 00:40:59,971
Where on earth is Bala?
534
00:41:41,313 --> 00:41:43,247
That's the place up there, sir.
535
00:42:35,734 --> 00:42:37,634
Mr. Rice, Dr. Ellis.
536
00:42:37,736 --> 00:42:41,433
Very glad to meet you, Mr. Rice.
Very glad indeed.
537
00:42:42,474 --> 00:42:44,374
Who is he?
538
00:42:44,476 --> 00:42:46,740
- Field gunner.
- Pretty young.
539
00:42:46,845 --> 00:42:49,370
Only 19, Mr. Rice.
540
00:42:49,481 --> 00:42:51,574
Poor boy. Poor boy.
541
00:42:51,684 --> 00:42:54,448
Is he badly hurt?
542
00:42:56,655 --> 00:42:59,488
Lord, yes.
The only wonder is he's still alive.
543
00:42:59,592 --> 00:43:04,154
He's as near dead as a human being
can be and still be alive. Yes, indeed.
544
00:43:04,263 --> 00:43:06,959
Has he told you anything yet?
545
00:43:07,066 --> 00:43:10,433
He was conscious for two minutes last night
and another few seconds this morning.
546
00:43:10,536 --> 00:43:13,869
- Were you with him all night?
- Only thing to do.
547
00:43:14,907 --> 00:43:20,106
- Any chance, Doctor?
- No, no. He's fading out. Just fading out.
548
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,513
Extraordinary he's lasted so long.
549
00:43:24,617 --> 00:43:26,585
Extraordinary thing,
the human body.
550
00:43:26,685 --> 00:43:29,518
- Yes, indeed.
- How much has he told you?
551
00:43:31,924 --> 00:43:34,256
The thing was lying in the heather.
552
00:43:35,394 --> 00:43:39,660
It was a cylinder about 18 inches long
and a few inches in diameter.
553
00:43:40,699 --> 00:43:43,361
It looked just like a big flashlight.
554
00:43:45,571 --> 00:43:49,200
Some of it was black
and some bright red.
555
00:43:49,308 --> 00:43:51,936
I didn't get that bit very clear,
but it was certainly plastic.
556
00:43:52,044 --> 00:43:54,012
Did he pick it up?
557
00:43:54,113 --> 00:43:56,081
He hasn't said yet.
558
00:43:57,683 --> 00:43:59,651
I don't think he heard my questions.
559
00:44:01,353 --> 00:44:04,880
He said he first wanted
to leave it alone and report it.
560
00:44:04,990 --> 00:44:08,221
The rest of his battery
were waiting for him on the road.
561
00:44:09,862 --> 00:44:12,729
And then he was afraid
he'd be laughed at as a sissy.
562
00:44:14,233 --> 00:44:16,793
Go and turn in. I'll watch.
563
00:44:19,938 --> 00:44:22,304
What do we ask him,
if we get the chance?
564
00:44:24,476 --> 00:44:26,876
Sooner or later we'll get one of
these things to play with.
565
00:44:27,913 --> 00:44:30,347
We must know
some of the things not to do.
566
00:44:30,449 --> 00:44:33,941
Did he pick it up
or put his hand near it?
567
00:44:34,053 --> 00:44:37,079
And if he picked it up,
was it by the end or by the middle?
568
00:44:40,092 --> 00:44:43,323
Here you are, Captain Stuart.
Quickly.
569
00:44:47,433 --> 00:44:50,425
Look, old man. Did you pick it up?
570
00:44:56,809 --> 00:44:59,539
Did you pick it up?
571
00:44:59,645 --> 00:45:01,613
Try to tell us. It's very important.
572
00:45:06,118 --> 00:45:08,279
Did you pick it up, old man?
573
00:45:10,923 --> 00:45:12,891
Can I do any harm now?
574
00:45:13,992 --> 00:45:16,722
- No.
- Peterson, open your eyes and listen to me!
575
00:45:18,715 --> 00:45:20,842
Did you pick the thing up,
or did you not?
576
00:45:22,970 --> 00:45:25,063
Come on now. Tell me.
Did you pick it up?
577
00:45:25,557 --> 00:45:29,138
- Come on. Speak up, man.
- Yes.
578
00:45:29,405 --> 00:45:31,471
You did?
579
00:45:31,577 --> 00:45:33,807
By the end or by the middle?
580
00:45:38,717 --> 00:45:41,151
By the end or by the middle?
581
00:45:43,889 --> 00:45:46,050
Sir–
582
00:45:50,729 --> 00:45:54,631
- I think he's dead.
- Aye. He's gone.
583
00:45:55,667 --> 00:45:57,828
You got something
of what you wanted?
584
00:45:57,936 --> 00:45:59,904
Excuse me.
585
00:46:01,340 --> 00:46:04,434
Go with him, Mr. Rice.
He – He's had enough.
586
00:46:06,745 --> 00:46:08,838
Aye. Enough indeed.
587
00:46:39,077 --> 00:46:41,045
Hello, Sammy.
588
00:46:41,146 --> 00:46:43,706
Hello, Sue.
Got good ears, haven't you?
589
00:46:43,816 --> 00:46:46,842
Got to have anything,
you better have them good.
590
00:46:46,952 --> 00:46:49,182
How'd you get on?
591
00:46:49,288 --> 00:46:53,418
Drew a blank. No sleep, no soap,
no towel, no breakfast.
592
00:46:53,525 --> 00:46:55,550
- I'm just going to make tea.
- Good.
593
00:46:55,661 --> 00:46:57,629
Stuart all right?
594
00:46:58,697 --> 00:47:01,165
- Why? Interested?
- I like him.
595
00:47:01,266 --> 00:47:03,757
- He's got guts.
- And bright blue eyes.
596
00:47:03,869 --> 00:47:06,633
And two feet.
597
00:47:06,738 --> 00:47:08,706
Now you're six years old.
598
00:47:19,384 --> 00:47:21,978
Don't like it.
599
00:47:22,087 --> 00:47:24,385
- Is Taylor in yet?
- Oh, he's just come in, sir.
600
00:47:24,489 --> 00:47:26,457
Good.
601
00:47:26,558 --> 00:47:28,651
Out, you. Excuse me, sir.
602
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,752
- Could I have a word with you in confidence?
- Of course.
603
00:47:31,864 --> 00:47:33,764
It's about Taylor, sir.
604
00:47:33,866 --> 00:47:37,427
He's been very idle lately. I'm afraid we're
gonna have a bit of trouble with him, sir.
605
00:47:37,536 --> 00:47:40,437
- Trouble with Taylor?
- Trouble at home, sir.
606
00:47:40,539 --> 00:47:42,700
Oh, I see.
607
00:47:42,808 --> 00:47:46,767
- You mean his wife.
- I thought I ought to report it, sir.
608
00:47:46,879 --> 00:47:49,905
- Are you sure that's what it is?
- Why, it's all over the place.
609
00:47:50,015 --> 00:47:52,882
Drink and men and so on.
610
00:47:52,985 --> 00:47:55,385
You know, Taylor's
a very innocent chap, sir.
611
00:47:55,487 --> 00:47:58,513
Mmm. I saw her once.
612
00:47:58,624 --> 00:48:00,717
Must say, she didn't look much like
the vicar's daughter.
613
00:48:00,826 --> 00:48:02,726
Just what I said to myself, sir.
614
00:48:02,828 --> 00:48:05,490
I took one look at her,
and I said, "Hello."
615
00:48:18,176 --> 00:48:20,235
Sidney, Sergeant Major Rose
would like a word with you.
616
00:48:20,345 --> 00:48:22,313
Yes, sir.
617
00:48:26,018 --> 00:48:29,886
Taylor. I'd like your opinion
as a fuse king.
618
00:48:32,190 --> 00:48:34,158
Y-Yes, sir.
619
00:48:34,259 --> 00:48:36,159
Sit down.
620
00:48:36,261 --> 00:48:38,252
- Thank you, sir.
- If you wanted to blow me up...
621
00:48:38,363 --> 00:48:40,263
and you were going to use, um...
622
00:48:40,365 --> 00:48:43,300
that as a booby trap,
what sort of fuse would you use?
623
00:48:44,603 --> 00:48:48,300
Oh, there are s-s-several
things I could do, sir.
624
00:48:49,541 --> 00:48:51,975
A simple clock, of course.
625
00:48:53,345 --> 00:48:55,575
It might go off
while I was out of the room.
626
00:48:56,848 --> 00:49:00,841
Hmm. W-Would you be
l-likely to touch it, sir?
627
00:49:00,953 --> 00:49:02,921
I might.
628
00:49:05,557 --> 00:49:07,855
It could be arranged...
629
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,019
so that the I –
630
00:49:11,129 --> 00:49:14,724
lifting of the lid operated the fuse, sir.
631
00:49:15,834 --> 00:49:17,734
That could be either...
632
00:49:17,836 --> 00:49:20,168
ooh, electrical...
633
00:49:20,272 --> 00:49:23,708
or m – me – mechanical
or c-chemical.
634
00:49:23,809 --> 00:49:26,471
Yes, but suppose I won't lift the lid.
635
00:49:28,981 --> 00:49:30,949
Well, what I should do...
636
00:49:32,150 --> 00:49:35,381
is use a t-t-trembler, sir.
637
00:49:35,487 --> 00:49:38,923
That'd work as soon as you
m-m-moved the box.
638
00:49:40,559 --> 00:49:43,619
Otherwise, a-a pho – photoelectric cell.
639
00:49:43,729 --> 00:49:46,664
Only, of course, this thing
w-wouldn't be large enough.
640
00:49:48,467 --> 00:49:52,096
Could you fix it so that you could throw it
through the window and it'd go off later?
641
00:49:52,204 --> 00:49:55,469
Uh, could you fudge up a photoelectric fuse
in a thing a little larger in size...
642
00:49:55,574 --> 00:49:58,441
that'd work any way up
and not be damaged by dropping it?
643
00:49:58,543 --> 00:50:00,443
W-Way up. Yes.
644
00:50:00,545 --> 00:50:02,479
Damage is no problem.
645
00:50:02,581 --> 00:50:07,314
S – Space a little doubtful.
646
00:50:07,419 --> 00:50:10,582
I see.
All right. Thank you, Taylor.
647
00:50:13,458 --> 00:50:16,154
Any–Anything else, sir?
648
00:50:16,261 --> 00:50:18,422
Yes. Is there anything wrong with you?
649
00:50:18,530 --> 00:50:21,761
I understand you’re having
a certain amount of trouble at home.
650
00:50:23,668 --> 00:50:26,762
- Y-Yes, sir.
- Your wife’s not happy?
651
00:50:26,872 --> 00:50:30,308
That's right, sir.
652
00:50:30,409 --> 00:50:32,468
Anything I can do?
653
00:50:32,577 --> 00:50:34,545
No, I don’t think so.
654
00:50:34,646 --> 00:50:36,841
- Thank you, sir.
- You sure?
655
00:50:36,948 --> 00:50:38,646
Yes.
656
00:50:39,017 --> 00:50:41,747
Uh, quite s-s-sure, sir.
657
00:50:43,355 --> 00:50:46,449
- Well, unless, uh –
- Unless what?
658
00:50:48,026 --> 00:50:50,722
Well, if– if you w-w-wouldn't mind, sir...
659
00:50:51,763 --> 00:50:55,824
if I could get away
a f-few minutes early s-sometimes.
660
00:50:55,934 --> 00:50:59,563
Sh-Sh-Sh-She's all on her own,
you see, sir, and...
661
00:50:59,671 --> 00:51:01,639
if I could...
662
00:51:03,809 --> 00:51:05,743
get away a bit early, sir.
663
00:51:05,844 --> 00:51:09,245
Yes, of course.
I'll tell Sergeant Major Rose.
664
00:51:09,347 --> 00:51:12,646
- Today?
- Oh, n-no, sir.
665
00:51:14,453 --> 00:51:18,822
N-Not on a W –Wednesday, sir.
666
00:51:38,276 --> 00:51:40,437
Sue?
667
00:52:12,210 --> 00:52:14,474
I'm darned if I will.
668
00:54:15,967 --> 00:54:18,333
At the third stroke...
669
00:54:18,436 --> 00:54:23,032
it will be 7:53 and 10 seconds.
670
00:56:58,663 --> 00:57:00,961
What's the use?
671
00:57:17,882 --> 00:57:19,873
Sammyl
672
00:57:23,388 --> 00:57:25,015
Oh, Sammy.
673
00:57:26,191 --> 00:57:28,159
Thanks for all your help!
674
00:57:32,864 --> 00:57:34,832
Where are you going, Sammy?
675
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,320
I did try to ring up.
There's something wrong with the line.
676
00:57:58,423 --> 00:58:00,823
- Oh, to hell with the line!
- You didn't drink any, did you?
677
00:58:00,925 --> 00:58:02,893
No, I didn't drink any.
678
00:58:05,663 --> 00:58:08,632
I thought we agreed
never to work late on Wednesdays.
679
00:58:08,733 --> 00:58:11,566
But, darling, it's Tuesday.
680
00:58:11,669 --> 00:58:14,433
- Tuesday?
- Tuesday, the 23rd of March.
681
00:58:14,539 --> 00:58:16,734
I ought to know. I've typed it all day.
682
00:58:16,841 --> 00:58:18,809
Taylor said it was Wednesday.
683
00:58:20,211 --> 00:58:23,078
- What day is it?
- Day? Monday.
684
00:58:23,181 --> 00:58:25,741
- But yesterday was Monday.
- Why ask then?
685
00:58:31,956 --> 00:58:35,050
Where were you going, Sammy?
686
00:58:35,159 --> 00:58:37,753
I don't know.
687
00:58:37,862 --> 00:58:39,796
A woman?
688
00:58:39,898 --> 00:58:41,798
Maybe.
689
00:58:43,201 --> 00:58:45,169
How about me?
690
00:59:08,493 --> 00:59:11,257
Gentlemen, I have called this meeting
on the minister's instructions...
691
00:59:11,362 --> 00:59:13,387
to clear up the position
of the Reeve's gun.
692
00:59:13,498 --> 00:59:16,490
- There have been extensivedemonstrations and experiments.
693
00:59:16,601 --> 00:59:19,035
The question is now
what have those experiments shown...
694
00:59:19,137 --> 00:59:21,037
and what are we going to do about it?
695
00:59:21,139 --> 00:59:23,107
That's all I have to say.
696
00:59:23,207 --> 00:59:26,176
Now you talk and I'll listen.
697
00:59:30,682 --> 00:59:32,149
Professor Mair?
698
00:59:32,250 --> 00:59:34,810
The Reeve's gun, Mr. Chairman...
699
00:59:34,919 --> 00:59:38,047
is one of the most promising
developments I've seen...
700
00:59:38,156 --> 00:59:41,023
from some points of view.
701
00:59:41,125 --> 00:59:43,025
But that's only an opinion.
702
00:59:43,127 --> 00:59:46,961
I should like to hear other people
before being dogmatic.
703
00:59:47,065 --> 00:59:50,057
Um, we don't like the Reeve's,
Mr. Chairman.
704
00:59:50,168 --> 00:59:51,999
You don't?
705
00:59:52,103 --> 00:59:53,730
No.
706
00:59:53,838 --> 00:59:56,739
It has a lot of snags
from the user point of view, and, uh...
707
00:59:56,841 --> 00:59:59,901
we don't think it has sufficient
advantages to offset them.
708
01:00:00,011 --> 01:00:02,036
That's an infernal noise going on here.
709
01:00:02,146 --> 01:00:05,115
One could do with a course of lip reading
at these meetings.
710
01:00:05,216 --> 01:00:07,741
Well, of course,
that's just the question.
711
01:00:07,852 --> 01:00:11,686
What is the balance of advantage
and disadvantage?
712
01:00:12,890 --> 01:00:14,858
Mr. Chairman.
713
01:00:18,029 --> 01:00:20,520
It might be of interest to the meeting
to hear the views...
714
01:00:20,632 --> 01:00:23,328
of the National
Scientific Advisory Council...
715
01:00:23,434 --> 01:00:25,425
for which I have the honor
to be chairman.
716
01:00:25,536 --> 01:00:27,163
Please.
717
01:00:27,271 --> 01:00:29,466
The National Scientific Advisory Council –
718
01:00:29,574 --> 01:00:31,565
For which he has the honor to be chairman.
719
01:00:31,676 --> 01:00:34,236
Is the body officially deputed
by the cabinet...
720
01:00:34,345 --> 01:00:38,281
to offer advice
on all major scientific issues.
721
01:00:38,383 --> 01:00:43,343
There are so many overlapping
and uncoordinated research organizations...
722
01:00:43,454 --> 01:00:48,255
it was felt that science should speak
with one authoritative voice.
723
01:00:48,359 --> 01:00:51,021
I need hardly add that our opinion
upon the Reeve's gun...
724
01:00:51,129 --> 01:00:53,927
was not requested
until very late in the day.
725
01:00:54,032 --> 01:00:57,433
Having been requested, however, my colleagues
and I approached this development...
726
01:00:57,535 --> 01:00:59,435
purely as scientists.
727
01:00:59,537 --> 01:01:02,233
As if everyone else had approached it
as income tax inspectors.
728
01:01:02,340 --> 01:01:06,436
A select committee was formed,
and every facility was afforded us.
729
01:01:06,544 --> 01:01:10,139
- Our conclusion was that,
scientifically speaking...
730
01:01:10,248 --> 01:01:13,809
It was not a sound conception.
731
01:01:13,918 --> 01:01:16,148
Not at all a sound conception.
732
01:01:16,254 --> 01:01:18,484
In fact, I go further...
733
01:01:18,589 --> 01:01:21,456
and say that no scientist
could possibly feel happy...
734
01:01:21,559 --> 01:01:24,153
about many of the principles involved.
735
01:01:24,262 --> 01:01:26,230
I’m interested to hear that, Mr. Chairman...
736
01:01:26,330 --> 01:01:32,098
because from our unscientific point of view,
that’s what we thought.
737
01:01:32,203 --> 01:01:35,434
Just what scientific principles
do you think are unsound?
738
01:01:35,540 --> 01:01:38,634
We're talking about
different sorts of principles.
739
01:01:38,743 --> 01:01:41,177
We didn't like it
because it had user snags.
740
01:01:41,279 --> 01:01:43,611
Yes.
741
01:01:43,715 --> 01:01:48,209
Perhaps Mr. Brine could tell us who were
his colleagues on this select committee.
742
01:01:48,319 --> 01:01:51,550
Professor Charn, Dr. Golder
and Dr. Peace.
743
01:01:52,824 --> 01:01:55,918
One crystallographer...
744
01:01:56,027 --> 01:01:58,461
one vital statistician...
745
01:01:59,497 --> 01:02:02,466
one embryologist and, uh–
746
01:02:02,567 --> 01:02:05,968
Dr. Brine is, of course, one of the best-known
organic chemists in the kingdom.
747
01:02:06,070 --> 01:02:08,402
Good. Now we know where we are.
748
01:02:08,506 --> 01:02:11,839
No love lost between these back room boys.
749
01:02:11,943 --> 01:02:16,243
By the way, your committee did see
the gun firing, I take it.
750
01:02:16,347 --> 01:02:18,315
We were not actually present
at the trials.
751
01:02:18,416 --> 01:02:20,509
But you saw the gun fire?
752
01:02:20,618 --> 01:02:23,314
You didn't just look at it
as a piece of furniture?
753
01:02:23,421 --> 01:02:25,321
Scientific fellows, of course.
754
01:02:25,423 --> 01:02:27,857
No, we did not see the gun firing.
755
01:02:27,959 --> 01:02:29,586
Well, well.
756
01:02:33,698 --> 01:02:35,689
Oh, never mind.
757
01:02:39,237 --> 01:02:41,205
Mr. Chairman, I'm not a scientist...
758
01:02:41,305 --> 01:02:43,466
but my reading
of the figures that I've seen...
759
01:02:43,574 --> 01:02:47,032
shows that in practice we don't get
those advantages that are being talked about.
760
01:02:47,145 --> 01:02:50,706
I think Colonel Holland
is taking altogether too gloomy a view.
761
01:02:52,216 --> 01:02:55,151
Perhaps, Mr. Chairman,
you would allow Mr. Rice and my staff...
762
01:02:55,253 --> 01:02:57,221
to read his summary of the figures.
763
01:02:57,321 --> 01:02:59,312
Please.
764
01:02:59,423 --> 01:03:02,392
These figures are averages
of firings at 85 yards.
765
01:03:03,861 --> 01:03:06,659
Carry on the blackout, sir?
766
01:03:06,764 --> 01:03:09,289
The propellant type throughout
was cordite mark nine.
767
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,425
Charge weight in pounds:2.75.
768
01:03:11,536 --> 01:03:13,970
... 1,980.
769
01:03:14,071 --> 01:03:16,198
Penetration in inches:2.087.
770
01:03:16,307 --> 01:03:20,903
Charge weight in pounds:3.5.
Muzzle velocity in feet per second:2, 183.
771
01:03:21,012 --> 01:03:23,105
Penetration in inches:2.28.
772
01:03:23,214 --> 01:03:25,444
With moving targets,
average range: 90 yards.
773
01:03:25,550 --> 01:03:29,543
Lightest charge weight:2.75 pounds.
Average time per round: Eight seconds.
774
01:03:29,654 --> 01:03:33,454
Heaviest charge weight: Four pounds.
Average time between rounds:22 seconds.
775
01:03:33,558 --> 01:03:36,220
Small charge –
small penetration, minimum interval.
776
01:03:36,327 --> 01:03:39,524
Large charge – greatest penetration,
maximum interval.
777
01:03:46,437 --> 01:03:48,962
The summary will, of course,
be circulated.
778
01:03:49,073 --> 01:03:51,633
I should like to ask Mr. Rice
what it all adds up to.
779
01:03:51,742 --> 01:03:54,176
Why, I think Professor Mair's already
given the view of the section.
780
01:03:54,278 --> 01:03:56,143
And you share that view?
781
01:03:56,247 --> 01:03:59,478
- Oh, come. It's scarcely a fair question, is it?
- Why not?
782
01:03:59,584 --> 01:04:02,917
Well, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Rice is one
of Professor Mair's junior officers.
783
01:04:03,020 --> 01:04:05,989
Quite. I don't think you can ask Rice
to argue with his chief, Holland.
784
01:04:06,090 --> 01:04:09,958
Mr. Chairman, I want to be quite frank.
We don't like this gun.
785
01:04:10,061 --> 01:04:12,586
We're told those figures show
that we're wrong.
786
01:04:12,697 --> 01:04:15,495
Professor Mair suggested that his expert
should give us the figures.
787
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:19,036
Surely I’m entitled to know
what those figures mean.
788
01:04:19,136 --> 01:04:22,333
After all, this is an important matter.
789
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:26,638
It is not the prestige of a particular
department that is involved...
790
01:04:26,744 --> 01:04:29,008
but men's lives.
791
01:04:29,113 --> 01:04:33,948
If the Reeve's gun is accepted,
sooner or later men will have to fight with it.
792
01:04:34,051 --> 01:04:38,511
If we've been too optimistic,
they'll be the sufferers. We shan't.
793
01:04:45,363 --> 01:04:49,493
Well, well, Mr. Chairman.
No one wants to hide anything.
794
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:53,400
If Colonel Holland would like Mr. Rice's views,
I have no objection at all.
795
01:04:54,505 --> 01:04:56,166
Well, Mr. Rice?
796
01:04:58,843 --> 01:05:01,038
I agree with Professor Mair
that the idea is excellent.
797
01:05:01,145 --> 01:05:02,840
And the weapon?
798
01:05:09,020 --> 01:05:11,250
I don't think it's right yet.
799
01:05:12,857 --> 01:05:15,917
Would you be happy to see it
accepted in its present form...
800
01:05:19,605 --> 01:05:21,505
on those figures?
801
01:05:23,534 --> 01:05:25,900
No, I shouldn't.
802
01:05:27,605 --> 01:05:31,541
You must realize that you can have ideas
that’ll win the war four times over...
803
01:05:31,642 --> 01:05:34,702
but it still won't do anybody any good
unless you can sell them.
804
01:05:34,812 --> 01:05:38,009
We’re not in a university department now.
805
01:05:38,115 --> 01:05:40,948
No, nor in an advertising agency,
where you belong.
806
01:05:41,052 --> 01:05:44,681
Now, look here, Sammy.
You may think you're a great big scientist
and I'm just a commercial stooge...
807
01:05:44,789 --> 01:05:47,849
but the plain fact is, if you make
a mess of things, I have to clear it up!
808
01:05:47,959 --> 01:05:51,417
And the equally plain fact is the stuff you build
a reputation on comes chiefly out of my head!
809
01:05:51,704 --> 01:05:55,367
I'm not a politician or a salesman,
but neither am I a kid of 10!
810
01:06:09,580 --> 01:06:12,913
Not 10, Sammy, eight.
811
01:06:13,017 --> 01:06:15,611
Ten is what you are
when you're not cross.
812
01:06:17,355 --> 01:06:19,619
Good Lord! It's 4:00.
Miss! Oh, miss!
813
01:06:21,826 --> 01:06:23,794
Pot of tea for two, miss.
814
01:06:23,894 --> 01:06:25,794
It's ready.
815
01:06:25,896 --> 01:06:29,263
Did you hear Sammy
calling me an advertising agent?
816
01:06:29,367 --> 01:06:32,564
As you were both shouting at the tops
of your voices, I could hardly help it.
817
01:06:32,670 --> 01:06:37,334
Oh, no. He was.
I was calm, cool and good-tempered.
818
01:06:37,441 --> 01:06:40,274
You know, Sue,
I'm a much misunderstood man.
819
01:06:40,378 --> 01:06:43,176
I'm not appreciated.
That's my trouble.
820
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,248
I appreciate you.
821
01:06:47,284 --> 01:06:48,444
Both of you.
822
01:07:14,812 --> 01:07:17,804
That's number one.
Do you want number two?
823
01:07:19,116 --> 01:07:21,778
Number two is Pinker and Waring
are dining together tonight...
824
01:07:21,886 --> 01:07:24,354
at your club.
825
01:07:24,455 --> 01:07:27,219
- But Pinker's backing Brine.
- That's number three.
826
01:07:27,324 --> 01:07:30,885
- Brine will take over the section.
- What? That thug?
827
01:07:30,995 --> 01:07:32,895
Want to bet?
828
01:07:32,997 --> 01:07:34,965
Will you resign if he does?
829
01:07:36,333 --> 01:07:38,961
It hasn't happened yet.
I'm not sure.
830
01:07:39,506 --> 01:07:42,198
Well, I am. You won't.
831
01:07:42,306 --> 01:07:44,501
You'll let all this happen,
and when it has...
832
01:07:44,608 --> 01:07:46,838
you'll see there won't be any section
if you go.
833
01:07:46,944 --> 01:07:50,209
So you'll hang around hating it and
expecting everybody else to be sorry for you.
834
01:07:50,314 --> 01:07:52,544
- Stop grousing.
- I won't!
835
01:07:52,650 --> 01:07:55,551
You've gotta see yourself for once
as Pinker and R.B. See you.
836
01:07:55,653 --> 01:07:57,848
They're just using you!
837
01:07:57,955 --> 01:08:00,549
- Everything all right, sir?
- Yes!
838
01:08:00,658 --> 01:08:03,252
You can't expect me to come in with Pinker
to get Mair out.
839
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,090
- You can't stop them!
- Maybe not, but I needn't exactly help them.
840
01:08:07,298 --> 01:08:11,064
You could run the section yourself.
Even Pinker says so.
841
01:08:11,168 --> 01:08:13,068
But you just won't face things.
842
01:08:13,170 --> 01:08:16,401
You go on being sorry for yourself
with everything in the world to live for.
843
01:08:16,507 --> 01:08:18,839
But what’s so special
about only having one foot?
844
01:08:18,943 --> 01:08:20,501
Shut up, you little –
845
01:08:20,611 --> 01:08:23,239
You can't be a professional footballer.
So what?
846
01:08:23,347 --> 01:08:25,781
You think what you're doing
is good and honorable and loyal?
847
01:08:25,883 --> 01:08:28,283
Well, it isn't.
You just haven't got the guts!
848
01:08:29,453 --> 01:08:32,547
- Will you shut up?
- Every word I said is true.
849
01:08:32,656 --> 01:08:35,216
Oh, Sammy, you're such a fool.
850
01:08:36,327 --> 01:08:40,127
Why don't you pull yourself together, Sue?
You're making an ass of yourself.
851
01:09:05,356 --> 01:09:07,824
Why, Mr. Rice!
852
01:09:07,925 --> 01:09:10,792
- Sitting here all by yourself!
- No, Susan's with me.
853
01:09:10,895 --> 01:09:13,864
- But she's gone.
- Right.
854
01:09:13,964 --> 01:09:16,194
There's no good looking at me like that,
Mr. Rice.
855
01:09:16,300 --> 01:09:20,168
We met her leaving,
and she'd been crying.
856
01:09:20,271 --> 01:09:22,364
You can't fool an old campaigner.
857
01:09:22,473 --> 01:09:24,407
Mike, let me have the bill.
858
01:09:41,358 --> 01:09:44,850
Next time you just decide to go home
when we're out together...
859
01:09:44,962 --> 01:09:47,931
I'd be obliged if you'd tell me.
860
01:10:09,887 --> 01:10:13,914
I've been thinking, if you really think
I'm such a poor sap as you said tonight...
861
01:10:14,024 --> 01:10:16,049
we'd better get out of each other's way.
862
01:10:18,295 --> 01:10:20,763
The same thought had occurred to me.
863
01:10:25,336 --> 01:10:28,134
Why can't you get tough
with anyone but me?
864
01:10:28,239 --> 01:10:31,299
Why can't you get tough with Waring?
He gives you cause enough.
865
01:10:32,409 --> 01:10:35,037
You can't quarrel with R.B.
He won't keep it up.
866
01:10:35,145 --> 01:10:37,579
Why should he decide who quarrels?
Why shouldn't you?
867
01:10:38,333 --> 01:10:41,319
I'm no good at rows. I loathe them.
868
01:10:41,552 --> 01:10:43,061
Why?
869
01:10:43,587 --> 01:10:45,487
Well –
870
01:10:47,424 --> 01:10:48,914
Don't you?
871
01:10:50,728 --> 01:10:53,993
Not particularly.
Sometimes I like them.
872
01:10:57,768 --> 01:11:01,704
Look, Sammy. This is it.
873
01:11:01,805 --> 01:11:04,273
You've gotta make up your mind...
874
01:11:04,375 --> 01:11:09,210
whether you're gonna spend the rest of your life
being someone it's just too bad about or not.
875
01:11:25,362 --> 01:11:27,262
Last one, Mr. Rice.
876
01:11:35,906 --> 01:11:40,502
- It's half an hour till closing time.
- Closing time for you right now, Mr. Rice.
877
01:11:42,246 --> 01:11:45,738
What do you mean, Knucksie?
878
01:11:45,849 --> 01:11:49,979
I mean that I like you and Miss Susan
too much to let you get stinking in my bar.
879
01:11:50,247 --> 01:11:52,750
That to Miss Susan...
880
01:11:52,890 --> 01:11:55,051
and that to you, Knucksie.
881
01:11:55,744 --> 01:11:57,712
Two and four pence.
882
01:12:13,277 --> 01:12:15,177
Your change.
883
01:12:17,014 --> 01:12:20,142
Look here, Mr. Rice.
Take a walk home.
884
01:12:20,250 --> 01:12:22,514
Walk will do you good.
885
01:12:26,623 --> 01:12:29,490
You know,
the trouble with you, Knucksie...
886
01:12:30,627 --> 01:12:33,425
is that you're a sob sitting...
887
01:12:35,199 --> 01:12:38,930
- pint pushing –
- Caution! Caution, my friend. Ladies here.
888
01:12:48,312 --> 01:12:50,280
Publican.
889
01:12:51,782 --> 01:12:55,878
- What is he doing?
- Anyone ever give you a sick ear, Knucksie?
890
01:12:57,488 --> 01:13:00,013
Not without paying cash for it.
891
01:13:00,588 --> 01:13:03,560
You go home.
892
01:13:05,229 --> 01:13:07,129
All right.
893
01:13:08,010 --> 01:13:11,241
- Sir.
- Shut up.
894
01:13:11,551 --> 01:13:13,576
That's just what I will do.
895
01:13:13,971 --> 01:13:15,696
Go home.
896
01:13:16,573 --> 01:13:19,804
And you can keep your gut-rot stuff.
897
01:13:21,345 --> 01:13:23,677
I got my own drink.
898
01:13:23,781 --> 01:13:26,511
- It's home.
- That's right. That's right.
899
01:13:26,617 --> 01:13:30,109
♪ Knucksie wouldn't give me
another drink ♪
900
01:13:30,220 --> 01:13:32,245
♪ Another drink ♪
901
01:13:32,356 --> 01:13:36,224
♪ Knucksie wouldn't give me
another drink ♪♪
902
01:13:37,961 --> 01:13:39,861
That's right!
903
01:13:43,434 --> 01:13:46,062
Hmm. My own drink.
904
01:13:49,206 --> 01:13:53,233
♪ Dum-da-di, dum-dum-da-di ♪
905
01:14:14,164 --> 01:14:16,064
Sue?
906
01:14:21,205 --> 01:14:23,537
Sue!
907
01:14:25,075 --> 01:14:26,975
Snowball?
908
01:14:44,328 --> 01:14:46,296
My own drink, see?
909
01:14:54,605 --> 01:14:56,505
All mine.
910
01:14:58,542 --> 01:15:00,442
Flowers!
911
01:15:11,421 --> 01:15:13,651
Just a touch.
912
01:15:13,757 --> 01:15:15,725
Well, get out of it!
913
01:15:44,321 --> 01:15:46,346
Get out and stay out.
914
01:15:55,899 --> 01:15:58,959
Woman, you can ring
till you're blue in the face.
915
01:16:00,003 --> 01:16:04,099
Hello? Hello? Riverside 9090?
916
01:16:06,610 --> 01:16:09,135
Hello? Hello?
917
01:16:09,246 --> 01:16:11,680
Riverside 9090?
918
01:16:11,782 --> 01:16:16,116
Is Mr. Rice there?
Captain Stuart calling Mr. Rice.
919
01:16:16,219 --> 01:16:18,483
Hello! Hello!
920
01:16:18,589 --> 01:16:22,150
Riverside 9090. Hello?
921
01:16:23,193 --> 01:16:26,060
Hello. Riverside 9090.
922
01:16:26,163 --> 01:16:28,597
- Huh?
- What?
923
01:16:28,699 --> 01:16:31,793
- Hello?
- Wait a minute.
924
01:16:31,902 --> 01:16:35,838
Speak up. Captain Stuart,
I've got your Riverside number.
925
01:16:35,939 --> 01:16:37,998
Good. Hello, Sammy.
926
01:16:38,108 --> 01:16:41,908
Look, I've got two of them.
Now listen, old man. I have got two of them.
927
01:16:42,012 --> 01:16:43,946
- What?
- One, two.
928
01:16:44,047 --> 01:16:46,675
- I'm at Chesil Bank near–
- I don't know what you're talking about.
929
01:16:46,783 --> 01:16:48,751
You come from Waterloo.
You got it clear?
930
01:16:48,852 --> 01:16:52,618
I'm gonna have a bash at the first one.
You can have a go at the second, if you're lucky.
931
01:16:52,723 --> 01:16:55,658
Now, are you listening, old boy?
Because it's very important.
932
01:16:55,759 --> 01:16:57,886
- I've got two.
- Wait a minute, Stuart.
933
01:16:57,995 --> 01:17:00,589
What? Oh, hurry up.
934
01:17:34,031 --> 01:17:35,931
What is it, Stuart?
935
01:17:57,020 --> 01:17:59,454
You'd better wait till I get there.
936
01:17:59,556 --> 01:18:03,014
Nothing doing.
We can't do a Laurel and Hardy, old boy.
937
01:18:03,126 --> 01:18:07,756
If anything goes haywire on the first bomb,
one of us wants to be left to get a spanner
on the second.
938
01:18:07,864 --> 01:18:11,231
Don't be so cocky.
Wait till I get down.
939
01:18:11,334 --> 01:18:13,666
I've got a lot of things to suggest.
940
01:18:13,770 --> 01:18:16,671
Fine. You can try them on number two.
Number one's mine.
941
01:18:16,773 --> 01:18:19,435
After all, I found them.
942
01:18:19,543 --> 01:18:21,807
What are the trains?
943
01:18:21,912 --> 01:18:25,473
5:30 a.m. You'll have to
get up early, you lazy hound.
944
01:18:25,582 --> 01:18:27,550
See you for breakfast.
945
01:18:27,651 --> 01:18:29,209
Stuart!
946
01:18:29,319 --> 01:18:34,313
Stuart, be careful, for the love of Mike,
and good luck.
947
01:18:34,424 --> 01:18:36,392
Same to you.
948
01:18:36,493 --> 01:18:38,723
I say, hope you won't need it.
949
01:19:03,754 --> 01:19:05,654
- Mr. Rice?
- Yes.
950
01:19:05,756 --> 01:19:09,715
Oh, my name's Pearson, sir. I've got a car here
to take you on to Colonel Strang.
951
01:19:25,142 --> 01:19:28,373
- Back to the beach.
- Has Captain Stuart done anything yet?
952
01:19:29,713 --> 01:19:31,613
Oh, yes.
953
01:19:32,983 --> 01:19:35,213
Rotten business.
954
01:19:35,318 --> 01:19:38,685
I thought you knew, but, of course,
you couldn't. You were on the train.
955
01:19:41,825 --> 01:19:45,158
- Is he dead?
- Oh, yes. Yes, killed instantly.
956
01:19:45,262 --> 01:19:49,926
Apparently they thought he'd done it,
and then something went wrong and it went up.
957
01:20:14,491 --> 01:20:16,459
Mr. Rice, sir.
958
01:20:17,627 --> 01:20:20,323
How are you?
My name's Strang.
959
01:20:20,430 --> 01:20:22,398
All right, Don. Thank you.
960
01:20:27,170 --> 01:20:29,195
Do you know this part of the world?
961
01:20:29,306 --> 01:20:31,638
No.
962
01:20:31,741 --> 01:20:34,107
But you've heard of Chesil Bank,
I suppose.
963
01:20:34,211 --> 01:20:36,805
Yes, I've heard of it.
964
01:20:36,913 --> 01:20:39,108
Now, well, there it is, you see?
965
01:20:41,017 --> 01:20:43,485
The lagoon there’s called the Fleet...
966
01:20:43,587 --> 01:20:47,614
and that shallow over there
is Portland Bill.
967
01:20:50,026 --> 01:20:52,494
Are you a fuse expert?
968
01:20:52,596 --> 01:20:54,689
I've done a lot of work
on experimental fuses.
969
01:20:54,798 --> 01:20:56,698
Hmm.
970
01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:00,236
Dick Stuart told me last night that he
arranged with you that he should try it first...
971
01:21:00,337 --> 01:21:02,498
then if anything went wrong,
you should have a go.
972
01:21:02,606 --> 01:21:04,597
- Is that right?
- Yes.
973
01:21:04,708 --> 01:21:08,371
Yeah. He says it's all very fine.
974
01:21:08,478 --> 01:21:10,969
But, you know,
we've got plenty of people here –
975
01:21:11,081 --> 01:21:14,050
chaps like young Don Pearson,
who brought you up –
976
01:21:14,150 --> 01:21:17,779
only too anxious to go out there
and give that thing a few good clouts...
977
01:21:17,888 --> 01:21:19,913
with a hammer and chisel.
978
01:21:20,023 --> 01:21:22,617
Only I don't think it happens to be
that kind of a job.
979
01:21:27,063 --> 01:21:29,861
I've been in on this with Stuart
from the start.
980
01:21:29,966 --> 01:21:33,265
We had a fairly definite plan
mapped out.
981
01:21:33,370 --> 01:21:35,895
If I could have his notes,
I think I'd be all right.
982
01:21:36,006 --> 01:21:38,133
Yes.
983
01:21:38,241 --> 01:21:40,903
But, you see, I'm not worrying about you.
984
01:21:41,011 --> 01:21:43,138
I'm worrying about me.
985
01:21:43,246 --> 01:21:45,806
I let you do it, you go out there
and blow yourself to blazes...
986
01:21:45,916 --> 01:21:48,077
what's your family gonna say, hmm?
987
01:21:48,184 --> 01:21:50,152
Your boss, heaven knows who.
988
01:21:51,922 --> 01:21:55,255
No family.
Professor Mair knows all about it...
989
01:21:56,860 --> 01:21:58,828
and heaven can wait.
990
01:22:00,430 --> 01:22:02,898
I've got a list of things here I'd like.
991
01:22:09,039 --> 01:22:10,939
Yes.
992
01:22:12,175 --> 01:22:14,609
All right.
You'd better hear Stuart's notes.
993
01:22:16,846 --> 01:22:19,872
Well, would you like to tell me
how he worked?
994
01:22:19,983 --> 01:22:22,816
He used a field telephone
all the time he was working...
995
01:22:22,919 --> 01:22:26,480
explaining what he was doing
and all sorts of other things.
996
01:22:26,589 --> 01:22:30,616
I'm afraid it's a bit of a jumble.
I – I haven't had time to sort it all out.
997
01:22:30,727 --> 01:22:33,525
The things I saw and things he said.
998
01:22:33,630 --> 01:22:36,030
I have to read it all back to you
as it happened.
999
01:22:36,132 --> 01:22:38,100
Oh, they're your own shorthand notes,
are they?
1000
01:22:38,201 --> 01:22:40,635
- Of course.
- Why, of course?
1001
01:22:40,737 --> 01:22:44,434
- Nobody else could read them back.
- Oh, I see.
1002
01:22:44,541 --> 01:22:46,771
All right. Let's go, shall we?
1003
01:22:51,114 --> 01:22:55,016
"0645 hours.
Wire tested and found in order.
1004
01:22:55,118 --> 01:22:58,087
"Captain Stuart went out,
and we saw him get into the slit trench.
1005
01:22:58,188 --> 01:23:00,554
- 0647 –"
- Slit trench?
1006
01:23:00,657 --> 01:23:04,457
Yes, sir. Captain Stuart
dug them both himself, for both bombs.
1007
01:23:04,561 --> 01:23:07,325
- Oh, I see.
- "0647.
1008
01:23:08,932 --> 01:23:11,196
"Well, here we are at Wembley.
1009
01:23:11,301 --> 01:23:13,201
"It's a lovely day.
1010
01:23:13,303 --> 01:23:16,966
"Sun and a slight breeze blowing
from the pavilion end.
1011
01:23:17,073 --> 01:23:19,473
"Ground looks in beautiful condition.
1012
01:23:19,576 --> 01:23:21,976
"Must be quite
a hundred thousand people here.
1013
01:23:23,313 --> 01:23:25,281
"The king hasn't come yet.
1014
01:23:27,951 --> 01:23:31,318
0648. I'm putting
the reaching rods together."
1015
01:23:31,421 --> 01:23:34,356
Yes, I know all about the tests.
We agreed them together.
1016
01:23:34,457 --> 01:23:37,949
Let me hear from where
he really gets down to it.
1017
01:23:40,030 --> 01:23:43,727
Able-Baker-Charlie-Dog.
Able-Baker-Charlie-Easy.
1018
01:23:43,833 --> 01:23:47,132
Able-Baker-Charlie-George.
Able-Baker-Charlie-Dog.
1019
01:23:47,237 --> 01:23:49,137
- Able-Baker-Charlie –
- Let's check the wire, Sergeant.
1020
01:23:49,239 --> 01:23:51,673
- Yes, sir.
- See they do it properly.
1021
01:24:02,118 --> 01:24:04,348
"0747.
1022
01:24:04,454 --> 01:24:08,413
"Well, unless the electricity
they taught me is all wrong...
1023
01:24:08,525 --> 01:24:10,857
"it ought to be hunky-dory.
1024
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:14,191
"Think I better
just tremble the trembler and see.
1025
01:24:14,297 --> 01:24:16,663
"Yes. Seems okay.
1026
01:24:17,834 --> 01:24:20,234
"0749.
1027
01:24:20,336 --> 01:24:23,237
"Well, boys, unless there's
a very small man inside with a lighted match...
1028
01:24:23,339 --> 01:24:25,239
"I think that's probably all right.
1029
01:24:25,341 --> 01:24:28,003
"There will be special matinees
this week on Wednesdays and Fridays.
1030
01:24:29,846 --> 01:24:32,144
"Just let’s have another look.
1031
01:24:32,248 --> 01:24:34,182

"0752.

01:24:37,353 --> 01:24:39,981
"No. Positively no deception.

1034
01:24:45,361 --> 01:24:47,329
"I don't see...
1035
01:24:48,398 --> 01:24:50,628
"why they wanted so long lead.
1036
01:24:52,202 --> 01:24:54,227
"The insulator?
1037
01:24:59,943 --> 01:25:02,377
"At this point –
1038
01:25:02,479 --> 01:25:04,379

"At the time...

01:25:16,626 --> 01:25:19,151
"Captain Stuart was kneeling upright...

01:25:21,030 --> 01:25:23,498
"with what appeared to be the cap...
1044

in his hand."
1045
01:25:27,513 --> 01:25:29,435
Thanks very much.
1046
01:25:29,539 --> 01:25:31,507
It's all right, sir.
1047
01:25:44,387 --> 01:25:47,254
- Do the clothes fit?
- Yes, they'll do.
1048
01:25:47,357 --> 01:25:50,986
Good. I think we've got
everything you asked for.
1049
01:25:51,094 --> 01:25:54,825
Reaching rods. Clamps.
1050
01:25:54,931 --> 01:25:57,161
That's the very job.
1051
01:25:57,267 --> 01:25:59,735
You'll find the hot pads
in this thermos.
1052
01:26:00,870 --> 01:26:03,771
Where are the pipe wrenches?
Oh, you've got them, Cartwright.
1053
01:26:03,873 --> 01:26:06,501
Sir.
1054
01:26:06,609 --> 01:26:08,577
Yes, they're all right.
1055
01:26:10,246 --> 01:26:13,010
- Shall we go then?
- Yes. Uh –
1056
01:26:14,117 --> 01:26:17,518
A few addresses,
just, uh, in case I don't bring it off.
1057
01:26:17,620 --> 01:26:19,554
Can I be phoned here?
1058
01:26:19,656 --> 01:26:22,124
Yes. Of course. Oh, Tyler.
1059
01:26:22,225 --> 01:26:24,659
- Sir!
- I'll warn the post office.
1060
01:26:25,862 --> 01:26:27,762
- All set.
- Okay?
1061
01:26:47,650 --> 01:26:49,618
Here they are, Sarge.
1062
01:27:03,933 --> 01:27:05,662
Telephone!
1063
01:27:05,768 --> 01:27:07,736
- All right, lad?
- Fine.
1064
01:27:14,444 --> 01:27:16,344
- All set?
- Stethoscope.
1065
01:27:16,446 --> 01:27:18,346
Yes, sir.
1066
01:27:19,682 --> 01:27:23,243
You'll find it'll play out quite easily, sir.
Drop your head when you want to speak.
1067
01:27:23,353 --> 01:27:25,287
- Right.
- Shall I carry the bag, sir?
1068
01:27:25,388 --> 01:27:28,824
- No, give it to me.
- You can see the flag, sir. Good luck.
1069
01:27:28,925 --> 01:27:30,825
- Good luck.
- Good luck, sir.
1070
01:27:30,927 --> 01:27:33,395
- All the best, sir.
- Good luck, old man.
- All right.
1071
01:27:46,142 --> 01:27:48,667
It's a bigger sea running
than this morning.
1072
01:27:50,179 --> 01:27:53,979
Further down the coast,
there's a good stretch for surfing.
1073
01:27:54,083 --> 01:27:57,280
- You ever done any of that?
- Yes, but not for 10 years.
1074
01:28:10,066 --> 01:28:11,966
Stop.
1075
01:28:12,068 --> 01:28:14,662
All right.
Shall I take it now?
1076
01:28:14,771 --> 01:28:17,433
Are you gonna start
with the same tests that Stuart did?
1077
01:28:17,540 --> 01:28:20,338
Yes. There's always the chance
this one might be different.
1078
01:28:20,443 --> 01:28:22,809
That's what I thought.
1079
01:28:22,912 --> 01:28:25,745
Well, you sure you can manage?
1080
01:28:25,848 --> 01:28:27,816
Suppose I'll have to.
1081
01:28:29,118 --> 01:28:31,780
Yes. Well, good luck.
1082
01:28:34,257 --> 01:28:36,657
Good luck, my boy.
1083
01:29:11,094 --> 01:29:13,153
Make way.
1084
01:29:13,262 --> 01:29:15,230
- All right here?
- Yes.
1085
01:29:19,736 --> 01:29:23,103
I'm just testing the wire. Give me a wave
if you can hear me, will you?
1086
01:29:23,206 --> 01:29:27,040
Testing wire, sir.
I hear him loud and clear.
1087
01:29:28,311 --> 01:29:30,176
Right.
1088
01:29:36,986 --> 01:29:39,352
I'm burying the earthing rods.
1089
01:29:46,996 --> 01:29:49,294
I'm now going to test it for metal.
1090
01:30:08,618 --> 01:30:11,382
Says, "These pebbles are the devil.
1091
01:30:11,487 --> 01:30:13,887
"I slipped and nearly clouted it.
1092
01:30:15,896 --> 01:30:17,796
I'm trying now for heat."
1093
01:30:44,454 --> 01:30:47,355
He's out of the trench.
He's about halfway up to it.
1094
01:31:05,208 --> 01:31:08,041
"I am placing stethoscope beside bomb."
1095
01:31:12,815 --> 01:31:17,047
- No ticking, sir.
- Look, all these wires are a bit of a nuisance.
1096
01:31:17,153 --> 01:31:19,383
I'm gonna take this thing off,
put it on the ground...
1097
01:31:19,489 --> 01:31:22,117
and speak into it
when I have something to say.
1098
01:31:34,837 --> 01:31:38,466
First of all, I'll try and get the clamps
on the bomb to hold it...
1099
01:31:38,574 --> 01:31:41,008
and then work on it with the wrenches,
just like Stuart did.
1100
01:31:42,879 --> 01:31:46,679
He'll be in trouble with the clamps
on those pebbles.
1101
01:31:46,782 --> 01:31:49,580
He's got the clamps
and the pipe wrenches out.
1102
01:31:53,589 --> 01:31:57,457
He says, "I've got the jaws in line.
Now I'll tighten them."
1103
01:31:59,495 --> 01:32:02,225
Says, "This is trickier than I thought.
1104
01:32:02,331 --> 01:32:05,027
They're bound to pull the bomb a bit
when they grip."
1105
01:32:05,134 --> 01:32:07,034
Well, here goes.
1106
01:32:10,473 --> 01:32:12,100
Crikey!
1107
01:32:18,481 --> 01:32:21,348
Well, that's got the first one on.
1108
01:32:21,450 --> 01:32:23,509
It moved a bit, but, uh...
1109
01:32:23,619 --> 01:32:26,588
as you all gather, nothing happened.
1110
01:32:26,689 --> 01:32:29,089
I'm sweating like a pig.
I must mop off.
1111
01:32:44,941 --> 01:32:47,068
Now for the second clamp.
1112
01:32:47,176 --> 01:32:49,474
I'm going to move some of these pebbles.
1113
01:32:58,154 --> 01:33:00,054
You dare.
1114
01:33:00,156 --> 01:33:02,750
"I'm putting on the second clamp.
1115
01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:06,685
"Much easier.
1116
01:33:06,796 --> 01:33:08,764
"Okay, it's on.
1117
01:33:10,366 --> 01:33:12,334
"Now for the wrenches.
1118
01:33:14,203 --> 01:33:18,003
I'm going to unscrew the cap
exactly as Stuart did."
1119
01:33:36,626 --> 01:33:38,753
Says, "Very difficult.
1120
01:33:39,962 --> 01:33:42,692
Should have waited a bit
before starting again."
1121
01:33:44,300 --> 01:33:47,428
Says, "Too much whisky.
Could do with one now."
1122
01:34:06,489 --> 01:34:08,957
Done it! Done it, sir!
1123
01:34:48,731 --> 01:34:51,559
Yes, it's just as Stuart says.
1124
01:34:51,967 --> 01:34:53,935
The clock mechanism is in the head.
1125
01:34:54,036 --> 01:34:56,436
There's a long lead coming out of it...
1126
01:34:56,539 --> 01:34:59,736
with two flat bits attached,
which may be insulators.
1127
01:35:01,343 --> 01:35:05,575
In the top of the body there's a simple
trembler tongue lying between terminals.
1128
01:35:06,782 --> 01:35:08,750
I'm earthing them.
1129
01:35:23,499 --> 01:35:25,694
And this is where Stuart went wrong.
1130
01:35:27,036 --> 01:35:29,698
I can see the hole
going down into the body.
1131
01:35:31,674 --> 01:35:34,700
And as Stuart says,
the long lead seems too long.
1132
01:35:37,279 --> 01:35:39,179
Now what?
1133
01:35:39,281 --> 01:35:41,545
Says, "I think I've got it.
1134
01:35:43,319 --> 01:35:46,117
"There's a shorter and a longer lead.
1135
01:35:47,389 --> 01:35:51,189
"The shorter lead
winds right up into the clock...
1136
01:35:51,293 --> 01:35:53,557
so that no lead is left showing."
1137
01:35:53,662 --> 01:35:56,722
That's what fooled Stuart.
1138
01:35:56,832 --> 01:35:59,596
I can just see the ends of the insulators.
1139
01:36:01,504 --> 01:36:05,338
The lead which Stuart found
must go to a second trembler fuse in the body.
1140
01:36:05,441 --> 01:36:07,341
It's a double booby trap.
1141
01:36:07,443 --> 01:36:10,241
"Jerry certainly is no gentleman.
1142
01:36:11,914 --> 01:36:15,350
I am going to look for another way
into the body."
1143
01:36:21,991 --> 01:36:24,960
Yes. There is another way in.
1144
01:36:27,229 --> 01:36:30,528
There's a cap on each end –
only one's obvious, and the other isn't.
1145
01:36:32,535 --> 01:36:35,629
Well, I suppose this is where I go to work
with the pipe wrenches again.
1146
01:36:35,933 --> 01:36:38,993
"I am now going to unscrew
the second cap.
1147
01:36:40,743 --> 01:36:44,907
Stand by.
This is where we came in."
1148
01:36:45,346 --> 01:36:47,041
Steady.
1149
01:36:52,521 --> 01:36:55,149
Wait a minute.
1150
01:36:55,257 --> 01:36:57,623
Christmas, this may not be so easy.
1151
01:37:00,529 --> 01:37:04,618
If the second trembler's in the body,
then it's all right to unscrew the cap.
1152
01:37:04,834 --> 01:37:08,065
But if it's in the cap, then unscrewing it
will send the whole thing up.
1153
01:37:08,170 --> 01:37:11,606
So I've gotta make up my mind whether
to hold the body still and unscrew the cap...
1154
01:37:11,707 --> 01:37:14,301
or hold the cap still
and unscrew the body.
1155
01:37:14,410 --> 01:37:18,506
"Three-to-one
that it's the cap I have to unscrew.
1156
01:37:20,582 --> 01:37:21,815
Any takers?"
1157
01:37:24,253 --> 01:37:26,187
He's got the pipe wrench
on the other end.
1158
01:37:34,330 --> 01:37:37,197
I must do it. I must!
1159
01:37:37,299 --> 01:37:39,028
He's all in.
He'll never make it.
1160
01:37:48,811 --> 01:37:51,336
I must.
1161
01:37:51,447 --> 01:37:54,143
If that wrench slips, he's had it.
1162
01:38:02,791 --> 01:38:04,759
- He's down.
- Stand clear!
1163
01:38:11,967 --> 01:38:14,265
Hold on, Rice! I'm coming!
1164
01:38:15,304 --> 01:38:17,272
Interfering son of a –
1165
01:38:20,676 --> 01:38:23,907
- I think you've done enough.
- Stay where you are.
1166
01:38:34,089 --> 01:38:36,057
There is a second trembler.
1167
01:38:37,993 --> 01:38:41,952
And I've only got to bang it
to send the whole thing up.
1168
01:39:22,905 --> 01:39:26,102
Satisfied?
1169
01:39:26,208 --> 01:39:28,108
Sorry.
1170
01:39:29,411 --> 01:39:32,141
- It was a personal matter.
- Yes.
1171
01:39:32,247 --> 01:39:34,215
Yes, I know all about that.
1172
01:39:35,484 --> 01:39:37,452
Dick Stuart just the same.
1173
01:39:39,321 --> 01:39:42,154
Well, and what do we do now?
1174
01:39:43,258 --> 01:39:47,695
Oh, you just get your chaps up
and steam the charge out.
1175
01:39:47,796 --> 01:39:49,764
That's all, is it?
1176
01:39:51,433 --> 01:39:53,333
That's all.
1177
01:40:11,286 --> 01:40:13,254
- Got everything you want?
- Yes, thanks.
1178
01:40:13,355 --> 01:40:15,823
Book, bun, sandwiches.
Did the mess sergeant give you a drink?
1179
01:40:15,924 --> 01:40:18,119
Yes. And I think I'll go
and put my feet up.
1180
01:40:18,227 --> 01:40:21,196
Yes, I should if I were you.
You've earned it.
1181
01:40:21,296 --> 01:40:25,198
Well, good-bye, my dear fellow.
1182
01:40:26,268 --> 01:40:29,931
Look here. Anybody ever has
any doubt about what you can do...
1183
01:40:30,039 --> 01:40:34,976
with your hands, your arms
or any other part of you...
1184
01:40:35,077 --> 01:40:37,045
you send them along to me,
do you see?
1185
01:41:01,537 --> 01:41:03,505
Hello. Who’s that?
1186
01:41:03,605 --> 01:41:06,096
Uh, Taylor, sir.
1187
01:41:06,208 --> 01:41:08,642
Oh, hello, Taylor.
Anybody still here?
1188
01:41:08,744 --> 01:41:12,077
- Mr. Till and Miss Susan, sir.
- Right.
1189
01:41:12,181 --> 01:41:15,639
- Excuse me, sir. Could – Could I –
Could I trouble you for a moment?
- Of course.
1190
01:41:15,751 --> 01:41:19,482
I – I understand that the fuse work
is being transferred away from here, sir.
1191
01:41:19,588 --> 01:41:22,250
Mmm. Professor Mair's
taking it back to his own lab.
1192
01:41:22,571 --> 01:41:26,657
He very kindly said he'd take me along
with him, sir, to carry on the fuse work.
1193
01:41:26,762 --> 01:41:29,060
That's what they told me.
1194
01:41:29,164 --> 01:41:32,463
Oh. They–They won't let me, sir.
1195
01:41:32,959 --> 01:41:34,927
What do you mean
they won't let you?
1196
01:41:35,231 --> 01:41:39,429
Well, they said because he can't have
uniformed men with him, sir.
1197
01:41:40,109 --> 01:41:43,169
- I'm to go back to general duties.
- That's ridiculous.
1198
01:41:44,213 --> 01:41:46,272
Yes, sir.
1199
01:41:46,381 --> 01:41:50,477
But I – I can't leave home
just now, sir...
1200
01:41:50,586 --> 01:41:52,554
not with the way things are.
1201
01:41:54,823 --> 01:41:56,916
I'd rather do anything.
1202
01:42:00,195 --> 01:42:02,163
I don't know, sir.
1203
01:42:03,899 --> 01:42:05,867
Can't go. I just –
1204
01:42:07,002 --> 01:42:09,800
Taylor. Leave this to me.
1205
01:42:10,906 --> 01:42:14,342
Don't worry, and don't do anything rash.
1206
01:42:14,443 --> 01:42:16,411
I promise you it'll be all right.
1207
01:42:18,814 --> 01:42:22,215
Well, thank you, sir.
1208
01:42:22,317 --> 01:42:25,445
Now get along home.
There's a good chap.
1209
01:42:41,003 --> 01:42:42,994
- Evening, Crowhurst.
- Evening, sir.
1210
01:42:46,108 --> 01:42:48,338
- Hello, Till.
- Hello.
1211
01:42:48,443 --> 01:42:50,673
- How'd you get on?
- Oh, all right.
1212
01:42:50,779 --> 01:42:52,576
- Good.
- Any news?
1213
01:42:52,681 --> 01:42:54,581
Holland phoned twice.
1214
01:42:54,683 --> 01:42:57,049
Madeleine phoned seven times.
1215
01:42:57,152 --> 01:43:00,212
There's a rumor Mair's out
and Brine's in.
1216
01:43:00,322 --> 01:43:02,222
- Anyone ask after me?
- Susan.
1217
01:43:02,324 --> 01:43:04,315
- She did?
- I didn't tell her though.
1218
01:43:04,464 --> 01:43:06,432
Good old Tilly.
1219
01:43:27,249 --> 01:43:29,717
- Hello.
- Hello.
1220
01:43:31,720 --> 01:43:34,348
Well?
1221
01:43:34,456 --> 01:43:38,916
Colonel Holland wants you to go
to the War Office as soon as you come in...
1222
01:43:39,027 --> 01:43:40,995
no matter how late.
1223
01:43:42,231 --> 01:43:44,597
Room 583.
1224
01:43:46,001 --> 01:43:48,368
What do you want?
1225
01:43:48,877 --> 01:43:50,845
I want you to go.
1226
01:43:52,874 --> 01:43:54,842
Don’t knock. Come in.
1227
01:43:57,045 --> 01:44:00,139
Sorry to be late, sir. I've been out on a job.
I didn't get your message till I got back.
1228
01:44:00,249 --> 01:44:02,547
All right. Don't waste words.
Sit down.
1229
01:44:04,086 --> 01:44:05,713
Sit down, sit down.
1230
01:44:05,821 --> 01:44:07,584
What did you make of Strang?
1231
01:44:10,158 --> 01:44:13,457
- He's all right.
- Yeah, he feels the same about you.
1232
01:44:15,897 --> 01:44:19,560
Now then, it may or may not
have escaped your notice...
1233
01:44:19,668 --> 01:44:22,660
that up till now
we have been losing the war.
1234
01:44:22,771 --> 01:44:27,174
Nevertheless, it is the intention of
His Majesty’s government that we shall win it.
1235
01:44:27,276 --> 01:44:30,575
And contrary to the impression
conveyed by the popular press...
1236
01:44:30,679 --> 01:44:33,671
it will be won by the army,
the navy and the air force.
1237
01:44:36,685 --> 01:44:38,653
In that order.
1238
01:44:50,098 --> 01:44:54,091
Now then, the army is to have
its own research section.
1239
01:44:54,202 --> 01:44:56,762
The man in charge
will have a free hand, equipment –
1240
01:44:56,872 --> 01:45:00,569
- Personnel?
- Anything. We want results.
1241
01:45:00,676 --> 01:45:04,339
Of course, you’ll, um –
you’ll have to be in uniform.
1242
01:45:04,446 --> 01:45:06,676
Otherwise you’ll never get anything.
1243
01:45:06,782 --> 01:45:08,750
We’ll make you a major or something.
1244
01:45:10,686 --> 01:45:13,484
- Well, what do you say?
- I accept.
1245
01:45:13,588 --> 01:45:15,613
You do?
1246
01:45:15,724 --> 01:45:18,818
- I never thought you would.
- Nor did I.
1247
01:45:23,398 --> 01:45:26,697
- Well?
- Well?
1248
01:45:28,537 --> 01:45:31,165
I want to talk to you.
1249
01:45:31,273 --> 01:45:34,174
- All right.
- Hickory Tree?
1250
01:45:35,744 --> 01:45:37,644
Lord Nelson?
1251
01:45:39,414 --> 01:45:41,382
Home?
1252
01:45:45,220 --> 01:45:47,745
- One thing I don't like.
- Only one?
1253
01:45:47,856 --> 01:45:51,292
- Your coming back on condition.
- What condition?
1254
01:45:51,393 --> 01:45:54,089
- That I went to the War Office.
- Come on in.
1255
01:46:14,383 --> 01:46:16,351
Oh, Sue.
1256
01:46:29,708 --> 01:46:32,199
Even the whisky.
1257
01:46:33,707 --> 01:46:35,675
Have a drink, Sammy.
