0:01:28 > 0:01:32- What's that? - A rabbit's foot, of course.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44PHONE RINGS
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Yeah?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47It's for you.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Hello?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Well, just write the usual letter.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Start thinking about a replacement.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Just a moment. Got a job for you.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Must be a mistake. My name is Whistler, Nicholas.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Yes. Interview tomorrow, 9.00.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52You can't have a job for me!
0:02:52 > 0:02:57- I'm a writer. It says so in my passport.- You know the rules -
0:02:57 > 0:03:03- any job you're qualified for, you've got to go for, or you lose your benefit.- What is it?
0:03:03 > 0:03:08- Glass manufacturers. Trainee executive.- Executive - me?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- That's ridiculous!- Yes!
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Queen to bet.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- I was going to work.- I thought you gave up writing for industry!
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Not on your life. 2/6.- I fold.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I'll see that.
0:03:29 > 0:03:35How did you get on with that bird I saw you with? He's touchy on that subject!
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- Shut up!- When he chatted her up, she said she wasn't feeling it!
0:03:40 > 0:03:45- Not feeling it?- Lorna's a great girl of fine background.
0:03:45 > 0:03:51- She's got a brother in the Navy, an account at Harrods and long legs! - Been round twice a day ever since!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54To release his talent - here she is!
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Have a nice bath, dear?
0:03:57 > 0:04:03Divine, thanks. And don't moan about the mess - I cleaned it all up!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I'll bet 10.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08You really are going mad!
0:04:08 > 0:04:13He can afford it. He's got the love of a good woman and a job to go for!
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Executive in one of Britain's great industrial empires!
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- Managing the fortunes of thousands of investors!- For £7 a week!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23It'll ruin your creative talent!
0:04:23 > 0:04:28- Belt up!- You'll be writing advertising copy for light bulbs!
0:04:28 > 0:04:35- It's the first step on the downward path! - It's not said I'll get the job!
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Good morning, sir. Can I help you?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55I think I've got an appointment with Mr Cunliffe or something.
0:04:55 > 0:05:02- You must be Mr Whistler. - I believe so.- Mr Cunliffe was expecting you earlier.- Was he?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Mr Whistler to see you, sir.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Wheel him in!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Thank you.
0:05:11 > 0:05:18Mr Whistler! So glad you could get here. You interested in this little opening of ours?
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- I don't know what it is yet. - Glass, Mr Whistler, glass.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Oil may be the substance on which our civilisation runs,
0:05:26 > 0:05:30but glass enables us to see where we're going,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33or, with a driving mirror, where we came from.
0:05:33 > 0:05:40- I don't suppose you're aware of the vast technological advances in our field.- No, I'm not.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45We're now in a position to construct a car entirely from glass!
0:05:45 > 0:05:51- Wheels, engine, the entire car!- Be a bit difficult to see it coming!
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Yes, well, that's my side of it.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59- Tell me about yourself. Where did you go to school?- Here and there...
0:05:59 > 0:06:02No particular school at all.
0:06:02 > 0:06:09- A varied background. I like a boy who's been through the mill. Military service?- I was lucky there.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10I...
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- I managed to get out of it. - You don't like the military life?
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- No, I'm a coward!- We're not all cut out to be soldiers!
0:06:19 > 0:06:23The labour exchange says you speak Czech. Is that correct?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Well, I was born there - in Prague.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Delightful city. You're British now? - I'm British now.
0:06:30 > 0:06:36- You're a writer?- Well, I try... - Anything published?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Not recently, actually, no.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Public's not quite ready for you?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Never mind. You seem just the sort of chap who'd fit in here.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I do?!
0:06:47 > 0:06:53Yes. We interviewed a lot of chaps for this job, but none had the imagination we wanted!
0:06:53 > 0:06:59You could go right to the top! There are openings all the time.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04What will you pay while I'm waiting for these openings?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06You'd pull in about £2,000 a year.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13£40...a week?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Yes, that's right. With expenses.
0:07:22 > 0:07:30- That's really very reasonable.- Yes. Why don't you mull it over during the weekend, then come and see us?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34If you think you'd like the job, I'm sure we could start you off.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Yes, all right...
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I'll see you on Monday, then.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Shall we say 10.00?- Fine.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Goodbye.- Goodbye.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Well, what do we make of him?
0:07:54 > 0:07:59He doesn't seem very keen! Do you suppose he's reliable?
0:07:59 > 0:08:05I'll get a security check done, but it's only a one-off job, isn't it?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- He's just a courier.- I suppose so.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11I'd be a lot happier if he'd been to a decent school!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13BUZZ Yes?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15'Russian Embassy, sir.'
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Naughty of them to use this number! Not supposed to know it.
0:08:20 > 0:08:26- Shall I put it through the scrambler, sir? - No! We want them to understand!
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Hello? Yes?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Da svedanya to you too!
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I never heard of him. Who?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Oh, did you?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Good. Thanks for letting us know. Goodbye.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Bloody show-offs!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Pulled in another of our chaps!
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Who?- Carruthers. Romania.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Romania?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55HE HUMS A TUNE
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- All right! I know! - Shall we inform the PM?
0:08:59 > 0:09:04He's busy. We better arrest one of theirs to save face!
0:09:04 > 0:09:11- We don't keep track of them like we did. They're getting thin on the ground.- What about that one?
0:09:11 > 0:09:17Well, we've always maintained he was one of theirs, but the War Office say he's ours!
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Leave him where he is for the moment.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Don't worry. I'll take care of that.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Get a replacement for Carruthers.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Usual chit to the Ministry?- Yes.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34They got at Carruthers through some woman he took up with.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- Try and find someone who's not too susceptible to that!- Right.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43Don't lean too far in the other direction either!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Good morning, Mr Whistler.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53My secretary says you've decided to join us. A wise decision.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58- Thank you.- Go in. I'd like you to meet one of your colleagues.
0:10:00 > 0:10:07Roger, Nicholas Whistler who's joining us. This is Mr Allsop, our personnel manager.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Hello.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Shall we all sit down?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Thank you.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18- You're wondering what you'll do here for the first few weeks?- Yes.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23- Bit of luck you joining now. Mr Jones...- Who?- Mr Jones!
0:10:23 > 0:10:29- Our sales manager! You'll forget your own name next!- Oh, yes...
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Our Mr Jones is off to Prague and doesn't speak Czech.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- You could go along.- To Prague?- Yes. No personal reason you can't go?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40No. Indeed, on the contrary...
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Fine.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Isn't Prague behind the thing...?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48The Iron Curtain and all that rot?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50We still trade with those countries!
0:10:50 > 0:10:54The Government doesn't like us to advertise it, but it happens.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59The Czech State Glass Factory will welcome you with open arms!
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Yes, I imagine he'll have an absolutely gorgeous time!
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- When do you want me to leave? - After lunch.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15After lunch? What about visas and things and...?
0:11:15 > 0:11:19We apply for them on a block booking basis and fill in the details.
0:11:19 > 0:11:25- You've got a passport?- Yes. - Well, you'll need some expenses.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28A couple of days...
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Have £100. If you want any more, just ask our Mr Jones.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Yes, of course. ..You'll have some packing to do.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- Come back after lunch. - About what time?
0:11:41 > 0:11:42About 2.15.
0:11:45 > 0:11:53- You've quite a lot of agents on the Continent!- Representatives. We're quite a big business!
0:11:53 > 0:11:57This is no fly-by-night organisation you've joined!
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Goodbye.- Goodbye.
0:12:01 > 0:12:07- Oh, Whistler...you don't speak Romanian, do you?- Romanian? No.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12Just a thought. It's safe to drink the water, but watch the local gin!
0:12:15 > 0:12:21You might have given me a proper briefing! Who's our sales manager?
0:12:21 > 0:12:27Sorry! I dreamt Jones up. I thought our young friend might be reluctant to go off on his own.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Don't worry - I'll scrub Jones.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35You ought to get a padlock for this blind. Might have spoiled it all!
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Look at it!
0:12:42 > 0:12:45You look after Lorna! Ciao.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Afternoon.- Here you are.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58We thought you might be late. Mr Cunliffe's waiting, sir.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I'll leave these here, if I may.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Just in time for a glass of port. Pull up a chair.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Good afternoon, Whistler.
0:13:15 > 0:13:21- Good afternoon.- Been a bit of a hitch. Smith can't make it.- Smith?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Our sales manager.- Jones? - Smith-Jones, yes.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29He's got a touch of the flu. I hope he'll join you in a day or two.
0:13:29 > 0:13:35- No, thank you. I have to go alone? - Yes. There'll be no complications. It's a courtesy call.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39You'll meet a Mr Galushka, manager of the State Glass Company.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44They've promised us some information about a new process.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- I see.- Just one thing that might be tricky...
0:13:47 > 0:13:54Remember I told you the Government doesn't like us advertising what we do?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56They have the same trouble there.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01They like to make a mystery of it, passwords and so on.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05They might prefer to slip the information into this book.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10Politics - not letting your left hand know what your right hand does.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16You mean I have to hand this to Mr Galushka, whatever his name is,
0:14:16 > 0:14:20and he just slips the information inside?
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Sort of East-West co-operation without a word being said?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26It's not quite as simple as that.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30It may not be Galushka. Hence the password.
0:14:30 > 0:14:37- You have to be certain you're speaking to the right person. Slip the password in.- What password?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39You're quite right.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Hot enough for June.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50And the reply?
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Reply?
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- So I know I'm speaking to the right man.- Oh, yes.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Ah, but you should've been here last September.
0:15:00 > 0:15:07- Hot enough for June. Ah, but you should've been here last September. - That's right.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12- I've confirmed your flight. Here's your ticket.- Thank you very much.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Let's see Mr Whistler gets to the airport safely.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Terrible business, this.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- Mmm? - This fellow they jailed as a spy.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47- Expect he knew what he was letting himself in for.- You think so?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- Mr Whistler. You have a reservation for me.- Oh...
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Yes, Mr Whistler. Room 47.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Take the gentleman's bag, please.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- May I have your passport?- Oh, yes.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- Have there been any messages for me?- No, Mr Whistler.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Were you expecting something in particular?
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- Er...no... I just wondered if there was something.- I see.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Nothing.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11SIREN
0:17:26 > 0:17:28KNOCKING
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Good evening, sir. I am Josef, your floor waiter.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- I have a message for you.- Thank you. - It just arrived.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42- Thank you.- Will you require anything else? Glass of beer?
0:17:42 > 0:17:47- Not at the moment.- You plan to make a long stay?- I don't know yet.
0:17:47 > 0:17:54- I hope you do good business. We need the businessmen back. - You seem pretty full.- Delegations.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Different class of people.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01Tipping is capitalist. It has no place in our way of life.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- If you require me, ring, sir. The name is Josef.- Thank you.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- Mr Whistler?- Yes.- I'm Vlasta Simoneva, your driver and guide.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- I'll be totally at your service. - Thank you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Do you mind if I sit in the front?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I'm not a commissar!
0:18:45 > 0:18:49We no longer have commissars in the socialist countries.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52What did you do - shoot them all?
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Don't drive very fast, will you? I frighten easily.
0:19:05 > 0:19:13The transition from commissars to more democratic types of officials was a natural process of socialism.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Shooting was unnecessary.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18How nice!
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- You are going to see Mr Galushka, the director?- Yes, I think so.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- Wilzek his assistant will take you. In there.- Thank you.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52I will come for you at 4.00.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Will you?- Yes.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Thank you.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07This is the merest outline. Mr Galushka will tell you much more.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11He is the architect of our industry, a brilliant man,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14but not perhaps easy to get on with!
0:20:14 > 0:20:17KNOCKING
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Ah! Good morning, Mr Whistler, good morning!
0:20:21 > 0:20:26- Good morning.- Mr Whistler has come from England to see Zapotocky.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Really? Oh...
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I thought he was a spy!
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Sit down, Mr Whistler!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Sit down.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39What do you want to know?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41We are at your service.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Wilzek, have you confirmed with the canteen about lunch?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50But...wasn't it all arranged?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52That's what I want you to find out.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Yes...yes, of course.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05He's a useful little insect, but not as intelligent as he might be.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09I feel more at ease when he's not about!
0:21:09 > 0:21:12What is it you wish to see?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Well...
0:21:14 > 0:21:16nothing particular...
0:21:16 > 0:21:22Mr Jones, our sales manager, will probably decide what he wants to see when he arrives.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- You're expecting him?- Yes.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Aren't you?- No.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Oh...
0:21:31 > 0:21:36- Probably a misunderstanding on our side.- Evidently.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41I think we can show you everything you could possibly wish to see.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Well, that's very kind of you.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48I'm sure the people on our side will be very grateful.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54I certainly seem to have brought the weather with me...
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- haven't I?- The weather?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Yes...
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I mean it's almost...
0:22:02 > 0:22:04hot enough for June...
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- isn't it?- You think so?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Considering the time of year...
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Well...
0:22:14 > 0:22:18yes, it's an interesting way of looking at it.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Shall we go?
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Yes...
0:22:34 > 0:22:41What are your feelings about the new continuous-rolling machinery they installed in England?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47I think it's a good thing. I think it's a very good thing.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Mr Whistler, may I see your guidebook?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Mr Pavek, our research director.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Thank you.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Thank you. A very good guidebook.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Czechoslovakia is a beautiful country, is it not?
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Yes, it's very pretty, very pretty indeed.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33We must get on. Mr Galushka has arranged a demonstration.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40It's really very warm.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Yes.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Hot enough for June...?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Is it?
0:23:57 > 0:24:02An entirely new process developed by our comrade from East Germany...
0:24:02 > 0:24:08has enabled us to make this revolutionary unbreakable glass.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11But surely there's nothing new in that?
0:24:11 > 0:24:18Nothing new, true - bulletproof and armour-plated glass have been known for a long time,
0:24:18 > 0:24:23but it has been of great thickness and considerable weight.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Observe, please.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Permit me, Herr Doktor. Certainly, Herr Direktor.
0:24:30 > 0:24:38This glass that our German comrade has developed is little thicker than paper and has the strength of steel.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40May I?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Bitte.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Observe, please.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Please.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04May I?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- You see?- Yes.- Come. We must move on. Thank you, Herr Doktor.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Bitte, Herr Direktor.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30SMASH!
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Nazi swine!
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I hope you had an interesting day.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59I think you saw it all. If there's anything you'd like to see again...
0:25:59 > 0:26:02It's been most instructive.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Could I just wash my hands? - Of course. How thoughtless of me.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09You should have asked me before.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Mr Galushka! Excuse me.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16The comrade from East Germany... Yes?
0:26:16 > 0:26:21He wants to know what luggage to take on his re-education course.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Just a toothbrush, comrade!
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Just a moment, comrade.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39There's dirt on your jacket.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45You're a visitor here, aren't you?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Yes, from London.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52I thought so. You've come at the right time of year. Fine weather.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57- Is that so?- Oh, yes. Most unusual for the time of year. More like...
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I mean, it's almost...
0:27:00 > 0:27:04You mean...it's hot enough...
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- Mr Whistler! Have you finished? - Er...yes.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Tomorrow...
0:27:14 > 0:27:17I'll take you to your car.
0:27:17 > 0:27:23- Oh, yes...- Now you've seen how we work, I hope you'll go out tonight and see how we enjoy ourselves!- Yes.
0:27:23 > 0:27:29I'd like that. You said if there's anything I wanted to see again...
0:27:29 > 0:27:34Could I come back tomorrow and have look at that rolling process again?
0:27:34 > 0:27:39Any time. No, not tomorrow. I have a conference to attend.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- Come Thursday. I shall expect you. - Thursday.- Goodbye.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- I hope you have a nice stay. - Thank you. Goodbye.
0:27:51 > 0:27:57Would it be against the rules for a capitalist to buy you a drink?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Not necessarily.
0:27:59 > 0:28:07Not frightened your friends see you and say, "What is Comrade Simoneva doing with that reactionary hyena?"
0:28:07 > 0:28:14They will know that it is the duty of Comrade Simoneva to drink with foreigners,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16even reactionary hyenas.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25The work of a businessman must be very interesting.
0:28:25 > 0:28:31- It carries its own responsibilities with it. - Do you employ many child labourers?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Not any longer. Too inefficient.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36You must not make fun of me.
0:28:36 > 0:28:41I'm well-informed about England. I read the Daily Worker.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43I see.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Is it true you have to go to Eton to be in the Government?
0:28:47 > 0:28:49It helps.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53And a party member, a Communist, could he go to Eton?
0:28:53 > 0:28:58I've never known anyone who was a Communist and who went to Eton.
0:28:58 > 0:29:07- There were a few were Communists by the time they left.- They went into Government?- The Foreign office!- Oh!
0:29:07 > 0:29:11I'm afraid I'm being a Fascist beast!
0:29:11 > 0:29:15I see you don't know the correct terminology.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18You're too soft to be a beast.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Thank you.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24Perhaps only a lackey of bourgeois reaction?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27You're very, very attractive.
0:29:27 > 0:29:33There is much you have to learn about the ways of our society.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37You could take me out to dinner and start to teach me...
0:29:39 > 0:29:41If you wish.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Now I must make a telephone call and I have to change.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Where shall I meet you?
0:29:48 > 0:29:54At the Golden Cockerel at 9.00. Anyone will tell you where to find it.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Give me Red 6.
0:30:18 > 0:30:24- Good afternoon. I came to see if the maid collected your laundry. - Thank you.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37I want to call England, please.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39To London.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43I told you. We shall be at the Golden Cockerel at 9.00.
0:30:43 > 0:30:50- We shall send an observer.- There's no necessity. I can find out everything there is to know myself!
0:30:50 > 0:30:54That will be for us to decide, comrade! Hello?
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Hello?
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Hello? Hello?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Patience, Plakov!
0:31:06 > 0:31:07Patience!
0:31:07 > 0:31:10PHONE RINGS
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Hello? Allsop speaking.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- It's Whistler.- Is he back? Good!
0:31:19 > 0:31:21He's calling from Prague!
0:31:23 > 0:31:29Hello? Whistler? What the devil is this? Who gave you this number?
0:31:29 > 0:31:31I made a note of it when I was in.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36I thought I'd call to ask when Mr Jones is coming out.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Mr Jones died in his bath today.
0:31:41 > 0:31:48- I-I'm terribly sorry.- Very sad, but you'll have to manage on your own. Nothing else, was there?
0:31:48 > 0:31:51No, no...nothing specific.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55You might like to know - I finally made contact.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I've got to go back on Thursday.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01They do make a frightful song and dance about it.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06You better ring off. These Continental calls are expensive.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Whistler...good luck, old man.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17What are you waiting for?
0:32:17 > 0:32:24- Get the exchange to transfer that number to the Milk Marketing Board. - Won't he try and call again?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Good evening. This way, please.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Your table, madame.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02- What about that one?- Reserved, madame.- I like it better.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04This one's splendid. Come on.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Your menus.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Thank you.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15This table was specially prepared for you, madame.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Would you like to order now, sir?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Everything satisfactory, Comrade Plakov?
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Did you hear about the prisoner and the secret policeman?
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Well, there was this secret policeman.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Let's say his name was Plakov.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00He had a prisoner brought up from the cells and he said,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02"Comrade, why don't you confess?
0:34:02 > 0:34:06"You have nothing to lose but your chains."
0:34:06 > 0:34:11The prisoner said, "But I thought my chains belonged to the state!"
0:34:11 > 0:34:16And Plakov, who was a very stupid man, said...
0:34:16 > 0:34:18MUSIC SWELLS
0:34:32 > 0:34:34What about your parents?
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- My mother died in the war. - And your father?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43He's a musician.
0:34:43 > 0:34:48He plays in an orchestra. We live in a house outside the town.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Have you got any brothers or sisters?
0:34:51 > 0:34:53No.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55A fiance?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59No.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04I wonder why not.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10CRACKLING
0:35:15 > 0:35:19You see - I have told you everything.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- There are many things I must know from you.- Thank you.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25There's plenty of time for that.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28You can't be sure.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Come and dance.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32- Oh, no. I must go home.- It's early.
0:35:32 > 0:35:37My father may be waiting for me. I have to look after him.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Can I take you home?
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- No, it's better that you don't. - Why?
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Nothing good should be done too fast!
0:35:48 > 0:35:51And tomorrow we have a holiday.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- The back?- Mmm.
0:36:54 > 0:37:00Permit me an observation - Comrade Simoneva isn't taking her assignment seriously.
0:37:00 > 0:37:07- Your observations have been noted - frequently.- Yes, but, with respect, I feel we could do more.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Unfortunately, in your case, the response would be limited.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16THUNDER CRASHES
0:37:56 > 0:38:01- Wait... I'll get you some dry clothes.- Excuse me.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Crikey!
0:38:06 > 0:38:08The Kremlin!
0:38:09 > 0:38:13My father is a very fat man.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19Yes, he is rather, isn't he? Won't he mind?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21He is not here, is he?
0:38:21 > 0:38:25I will dry your clothes... when you're ready.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28I'm going to change.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30THUNDER CRASHES
0:39:06 > 0:39:11- Did you say your father was playing in Pilsen tonight?- Yes. Why?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- When do you expect him home? - I don't.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Nicholas...
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Yes.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Will you light the fire?
0:39:38 > 0:39:40I will.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05PHONE RINGS
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Hello?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Hello? Hello?
0:40:20 > 0:40:23THUNDER CRASHES
0:40:30 > 0:40:33What the hell are you laughing at?
0:40:33 > 0:40:35You look like a Russian!
0:40:35 > 0:40:37I've got news for you!
0:40:43 > 0:40:47The Cold War is about to end!
0:41:06 > 0:41:08What are you thinking about?
0:41:10 > 0:41:12I'm thinking about you.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Anything wrong with that?
0:41:16 > 0:41:18I don't know...
0:41:20 > 0:41:25If you were doing something here in Prague...I mean, something bad,
0:41:25 > 0:41:27would you tell me about it?
0:41:28 > 0:41:33- What should I be doing that's bad? - That's what I'm asking you.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37Your visit to the factory and again tomorrow...
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Isn't there something about that which is...
0:41:42 > 0:41:44I don't know the word.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Suspicious?
0:41:48 > 0:41:49Yes.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53Look...
0:41:53 > 0:41:58I'm going back to the factory tomorrow for the last time
0:41:58 > 0:42:01to see a process that I missed.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03The next day, I fly back to London.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07I shan't have harmed a living soul.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Then, that is what I shall believe.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22TOOTING
0:42:32 > 0:42:35It's my taxi.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Yes, I know.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40I'll see you at the hotel later.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45Yes...but first I have to report to my office.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10What are you up to? You shouldn't be in the road!
0:43:10 > 0:43:13You're not fit to drive!
0:43:13 > 0:43:17Get out of it! Go on! You rotten low-down...!
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Get out of it!
0:43:21 > 0:43:25Your daughter's here, sir. Shall I send her in?
0:43:27 > 0:43:32You tell her, Plakov. You'll enjoy it more than I will!
0:43:32 > 0:43:34Yes, sir.
0:43:47 > 0:43:52The disappointment you're causing your father does not concern us...
0:43:52 > 0:43:59but the failure to obey instructions and your frivolous attitude are viewed with great displeasure.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04You're taken off the job
0:44:04 > 0:44:09and you are forbidden to make any further contact with Mr Whistler.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12That's all. You may go.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20I'm...sorry.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22Wrong car.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25- You are Mr Whistler? - Yes...I... Yes, I am.
0:44:25 > 0:44:29What happened to Vlasta... I mean, my usual driver?
0:44:29 > 0:44:34Driver Simoneva has been detained on other business. Get in.
0:44:50 > 0:44:56- It's exciting, yes?- What's it for? - For the parade tomorrow. Have you not heard?- No.
0:44:56 > 0:45:03It'll be one of the greatest in recent years. 108 contingents from the outlying districts alone!
0:45:03 > 0:45:06By tonight, the town will be full!
0:45:19 > 0:45:22- Mr Whistler...- Yes?
0:45:22 > 0:45:25Driver Simoneva gave me this for you.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27Oh...
0:45:44 > 0:45:47Nothing more I can tell you.
0:45:47 > 0:45:51- Are you staying for the parade? - No, I fly back in the morning.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54Anything to drink in the office? Yes.
0:45:54 > 0:46:00- A drink before you go?- I'd like to. May I wash my hands? Thank you.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14Good morning.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17It's hot enough for June.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24Ah, but you should have been here last September.
0:46:24 > 0:46:29- Good heavens! You're British! - Of course I am, you bloody fool!
0:46:29 > 0:46:35- How'd you get stuck in a job like this?- It's a cover! Give! - A what?- Cover!
0:46:35 > 0:46:38What do you mean - cover?
0:46:39 > 0:46:42What the hell do you think I mean?
0:46:42 > 0:46:46- Guard this with your life! - What did you mean?
0:46:46 > 0:46:50Stop playing the fool! I am a spy, the same as you are!
0:46:50 > 0:46:55Spy? I'm nothing to do with being a spy! Legitimate industrial...
0:46:55 > 0:46:57- Espionage?- If you insist, yes!
0:46:57 > 0:47:01It's between one firm and another - it's common in business!
0:47:01 > 0:47:03Tell that to the firing squad!
0:47:03 > 0:47:06- What?- The firing squad! Da-da-da!
0:47:06 > 0:47:08Oh, dear!
0:47:13 > 0:47:17Well, comrade...I wish you luck!
0:47:20 > 0:47:22I... Oh...!
0:47:46 > 0:47:49What's the matter?
0:47:49 > 0:47:51We have to wait for the other car.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38Where have you been?
0:49:38 > 0:49:42Take a rifle. We mustn't be seen talking.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52- What's the matter?- Shoot!
0:49:54 > 0:49:58There is something you didn't tell me last night?
0:50:00 > 0:50:02No, nothing.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04Anyway, it makes no difference.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07- I can't see you any more.- Why?
0:50:07 > 0:50:10I can't tell you. Shoot!
0:50:13 > 0:50:17- Vlasta, tell me - what happened? - Don't look at me! Shoot!
0:50:25 > 0:50:30Don't wait for the plane tomorrow. You must leave today.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32Someone told you something - what?
0:50:32 > 0:50:35It doesn't matter! Do as I say!
0:50:35 > 0:50:37But...
0:50:37 > 0:50:39if I don't see you again...
0:50:39 > 0:50:43please remember that I didn't want this to happen...
0:50:43 > 0:50:45Don't look! Shoot!
0:50:53 > 0:50:55Hey! Stop!
0:50:55 > 0:50:58Stop! You haven't paid!
0:50:58 > 0:51:01I'm sorry.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06For the lady.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08Thanks.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21Josef...
0:51:21 > 0:51:26I'm leaving sooner than I thought. Ask them to make up my bill.
0:51:26 > 0:51:31- Certainly, sir. Shall I bring it up for you?- Yes, do that.- Sir.
0:51:31 > 0:51:35- My passport as well. I'll need that.- Very good, sir.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43- KNOCKING - Who is it?
0:51:43 > 0:51:46- Me, sir - Josef.- Come in.
0:51:55 > 0:52:00- Good evening. I have some questions to ask you.- Yes?
0:52:01 > 0:52:08- Don't I know you?- I doubt it. I represent the state security police. All right, Josef.
0:52:08 > 0:52:11Well, now, Mr Whistler...
0:52:11 > 0:52:13What is it?
0:52:13 > 0:52:15Nothing serious, I hope.
0:52:15 > 0:52:19No, almost a formality, one might say.
0:52:19 > 0:52:24- If you would just sign this, please.- Yes, certainly.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26What is it?
0:52:26 > 0:52:29Your confession.
0:52:30 > 0:52:32My what?!
0:52:32 > 0:52:37What the hell do you mean? What am I supposed to have done?
0:52:37 > 0:52:44Come, Mr Whistler. Let's not waste time. Your activities have been known to us all along.
0:52:44 > 0:52:49Your friend at the Zapotocky Factory has already been arrested.
0:52:49 > 0:52:53You see, you might as well sign.
0:52:55 > 0:52:59- And if I refuse?- Then, we'd have to find an alternative.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02The confession has to be voluntary.
0:53:03 > 0:53:06- There is an alternative?- Of course.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09There's always an alternative.
0:53:09 > 0:53:11I want to show you something.
0:53:15 > 0:53:19You see that man? He's from the news agency.
0:53:19 > 0:53:25He's waiting for this. It's an item from tomorrow's newspapers.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29"Prague, August 12th.
0:53:29 > 0:53:36"Nicholas Whistler was found dead last night beneath his luxury suite at the Hotel Slovenska.
0:53:36 > 0:53:42"Mr Whistler was on a courtesy visit from London to the Zapotocky Glassworks.
0:53:42 > 0:53:47"A police spokesman said foul play is not suspected."
0:53:47 > 0:53:51I liked the bit about the luxury suite.
0:53:51 > 0:53:57Yes. The suggestion of opulence creates a certain animosity towards the deceased.
0:53:57 > 0:54:00Mind you, the style is pure journalese,
0:54:00 > 0:54:03but I think you get the message.
0:54:06 > 0:54:08Yes...
0:54:09 > 0:54:11Yes, I think I do.
0:54:15 > 0:54:19I shall want the message you received this morning.
0:54:19 > 0:54:24- What message?- The little piece of paper in your guidebook.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26Oh, that?
0:54:28 > 0:54:30You can't have that.
0:54:30 > 0:54:35- I thought I made the position clear.- You did, abundantly clear!
0:54:35 > 0:54:39- I disposed of the message. - Disposed of it?
0:54:39 > 0:54:44- Posted it.- Are you insane? Have you any idea what the paper contained?
0:54:44 > 0:54:48- No. Have you?- Never mind. Where did you send it?- To London.
0:54:48 > 0:54:53By express post. I've got the receipt here.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55It's very simple!
0:54:56 > 0:54:58Capitalist swine!
0:55:06 > 0:55:08Enough! Come!
0:55:12 > 0:55:15He's on the fire escape!
0:56:17 > 0:56:19Room service.
0:56:19 > 0:56:24This is Room 52 and the third time I've called.
0:56:24 > 0:56:26'Sorry, sir. I wasn't on duty.'
0:56:26 > 0:56:30- Bring me a Scotch and ginger ale. - 'Right away, sir.'
0:56:43 > 0:56:45- Well?- All the exits are covered.
0:56:45 > 0:56:49Good. We'll take him at our leisure.
0:56:56 > 0:56:59Your whisky, sir...
0:57:05 > 0:57:08SIREN
0:57:19 > 0:57:23- The first floor's clear. We've been right through it.- Good.
0:57:23 > 0:57:28Leave two men on guard there. The others go to the other floors.
0:57:28 > 0:57:30Yes, sir.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41Sorry. No-one is to leave.
0:57:41 > 0:57:45No...I know... They've got him. He's upstairs.
0:57:45 > 0:57:52- I'm the floor waiter. - Where are you going?- The chemist. He tried to take his life.
0:57:52 > 0:57:56If you don't believe me, call! Call up!
0:57:56 > 0:57:59- But don't stop me!- Wait here!
0:57:59 > 0:58:02SIREN
0:58:04 > 0:58:06Come on! On the double!
0:58:59 > 0:59:01British Embassy.
0:59:03 > 0:59:04Listen...
0:59:04 > 0:59:11- The secret police are after me. They think I'm a kind of spy... - SIREN
0:59:56 > 0:59:59There! That should do it.
0:59:59 > 1:00:06He's trapped. He won't get off the street in those clothes. When the streets clear, we'll have him!
1:00:20 > 1:00:22Out of it!
1:00:28 > 1:00:31WHISTLE Stop!
1:01:07 > 1:01:10SIREN
1:01:46 > 1:01:48Good night.
1:01:59 > 1:02:01Hey!
1:02:01 > 1:02:07- Waiter!- Yes, sir?- Hungarian goulash. - Yes, sir.- With dumplings. - With dumplings.
1:02:13 > 1:02:16- Pronti!- One Hungarian goulash!
1:02:16 > 1:02:19With dumplings!
1:02:37 > 1:02:42I want every man on duty familiar with this face.
1:02:42 > 1:02:44- Have these distributed.- Yes, sir.
1:02:46 > 1:02:51You are already familiar with the face. Is it a good likeness?
1:02:55 > 1:02:59- Not very flattering.- We are not involved in a beauty competition.
1:02:59 > 1:03:02This man is a dangerous spy!
1:04:23 > 1:04:25LAUGHTER
1:04:49 > 1:04:51Papa!
1:04:51 > 1:04:53Papa!
1:05:29 > 1:05:30Nicholas!
1:05:30 > 1:05:34- Why did you lie to me? - I didn't lie to you!
1:05:34 > 1:05:35Lie!
1:05:35 > 1:05:39You told me that your father was a musician!
1:05:39 > 1:05:43Now you'll tell me he was in the secret police band(?)
1:05:43 > 1:05:48- I'm sorry. I'd forgotten I told you that.- Yes, you forgot that!
1:05:48 > 1:05:52What else did you forget to tell me? What else?
1:05:52 > 1:05:56I didn't tell you... that I too work for the police.
1:06:00 > 1:06:03- You do?- Yes, I do.
1:06:03 > 1:06:07And anyway... what right have you to be angry?
1:06:07 > 1:06:09You didn't tell me you were a spy!
1:06:09 > 1:06:11But I'm not!
1:06:11 > 1:06:13You are going to deny it!
1:06:13 > 1:06:15Well, I...
1:06:15 > 1:06:17I...
1:06:17 > 1:06:21- I didn't know that I was. - You expect me to believe that?
1:06:21 > 1:06:24I don't care what you believe!
1:06:24 > 1:06:26I don't care what you believe!
1:06:26 > 1:06:30It's great for you now! You can turn me in - here I am!
1:06:30 > 1:06:34You think I would do that?
1:06:36 > 1:06:38I don't know what you'd do...
1:06:45 > 1:06:47No, of course I don't.
1:06:51 > 1:06:53I...
1:06:54 > 1:06:56- You need sleep.- Mmm...
1:06:56 > 1:07:00- Use my room.- No, I must get to the British Embassy.
1:07:00 > 1:07:04- Why did you come here? - To see you again!
1:07:04 > 1:07:08And because I thought you might be able to help me...
1:07:08 > 1:07:10To deliver secrets to the British?
1:07:11 > 1:07:13No, no...
1:07:13 > 1:07:17Tell me - did you really post that piece of paper?
1:07:17 > 1:07:22- My father turned the post office upside down!- No, I didn't.
1:07:24 > 1:07:29You want me to help you get to the British Embassy!
1:07:29 > 1:07:32So that you can deliver it!
1:07:33 > 1:07:37You are trying to make me... a traitor!
1:07:37 > 1:07:39No, I'm not.
1:07:39 > 1:07:41Well, what will you do with it?
1:07:41 > 1:07:44I...
1:07:44 > 1:07:45I don't know.
1:07:47 > 1:07:50You'd better give it to me.
1:07:50 > 1:07:54It's all right for me to be a traitor, not you...
1:07:54 > 1:07:59- but, for me, it's all right. - I didn't think of that.
1:07:59 > 1:08:01No...
1:08:03 > 1:08:07Will you help me to get to the embassy?
1:08:12 > 1:08:13I will try.
1:08:18 > 1:08:21In that case...
1:08:21 > 1:08:24there's only one solution, isn't there?
1:08:30 > 1:08:36- Do you know - I don't even know what this was all about.- Nor do I.
1:08:42 > 1:08:44Oh, I'm so tired...
1:08:49 > 1:08:51BELL RINGS
1:08:55 > 1:08:59Now, look here! My name's Roddinghead!
1:08:59 > 1:09:02Chrek. How do you do?
1:09:02 > 1:09:06How much longer will these fellows will be here?
1:09:06 > 1:09:11What are they doing here anyway? Waiting for a friend.
1:09:15 > 1:09:17BELL RINGS
1:09:24 > 1:09:26Smiling again, Plakov?
1:09:26 > 1:09:30I like a man who smiles in the face of adversity.
1:09:30 > 1:09:35Our quarry is roaming the streets in waiter's tails in daylight
1:09:35 > 1:09:40and Plakov the eagle-eyed genius cannot locate him! Very good(!)
1:09:40 > 1:09:44What fresh disaster have you to report?
1:09:44 > 1:09:48Not a disaster, sir. It's more in the nature of a joke.
1:09:48 > 1:09:54- A joke!- Yes.- Well, now, this is a new side of your personality!
1:09:54 > 1:09:58Very good, Plakov! Amuse me!
1:09:59 > 1:10:06Well, sir, it seems the staff at the British Embassy have mistaken our men for some kind of riffraff.
1:10:06 > 1:10:10They're threatening to make representations to the Government.
1:10:10 > 1:10:14Only a fool would find that story funny...
1:10:14 > 1:10:16you fool!
1:10:16 > 1:10:20It's clear Whistler has contacted his embassy,
1:10:20 > 1:10:25they're expecting him, and they want rid of the riffraff,
1:10:25 > 1:10:29whom they know perfectly well to be our secret police!
1:10:29 > 1:10:35If they should make representations to the Government, and we refuse to move those men,
1:10:35 > 1:10:39we shall have disclosed the importance of this case.
1:10:39 > 1:10:47We therefore need a reliable man to go to the embassy and explain the necessity of keeping the men there.
1:10:47 > 1:10:51- Any suggestions?- If you permit me, sir...- Never mind, Plakov.
1:10:51 > 1:10:54I'm going myself.
1:10:54 > 1:10:57I don't say this will happen,
1:10:57 > 1:11:04but if, while I'm out, a young man drops in dressed in waiter's tails, answering to the name Whistler...
1:11:04 > 1:11:07- Whistler?- Whistler... ..Do try to arrest him(!)
1:11:07 > 1:11:10KNOCKING Come.
1:11:13 > 1:11:17Excuse me, sir. A fellow about those people on the corner.
1:11:17 > 1:11:20Said his name is Simoneva. That old blackguard!
1:11:20 > 1:11:24Do you know him? He's my opposite number!
1:11:24 > 1:11:30I was going to say to speak to him, but, if he knows who you are, we shouldn't let on you're here.
1:11:30 > 1:11:34It's all right. Diplomatic privilege. Show him in!
1:11:35 > 1:11:37Simoneva...
1:11:37 > 1:11:41That old rascal... What's he got up his sleeve this time?
1:11:42 > 1:11:45DOOR OPENS
1:11:47 > 1:11:52What a delightful surprise! You're looking younger than ever!
1:11:52 > 1:11:59- Thank you. I didn't know you were in the diplomatic corps.- Oh, yes! Sit down. Let me get you a drink.
1:11:59 > 1:12:04Yes, it's a young man's job, this intelligence business.
1:12:04 > 1:12:09- They pension you off, did they? - That's about the size of it.
1:12:09 > 1:12:12- Vodka?- Scotch, please!
1:12:12 > 1:12:17- Well, what can I do for you? - We were told you wanted to see us.
1:12:17 > 1:12:19Oh?
1:12:19 > 1:12:21Yes, those people on the corner.
1:12:21 > 1:12:24Your people aren't happy. Why?
1:12:24 > 1:12:28The ambassador finds it a bit upsetting.
1:12:28 > 1:12:33It's too much having riffraff hanging round the embassy.
1:12:33 > 1:12:37I understand your feelings. Sorry I can't have them moved.
1:12:37 > 1:12:41- Surely it's a simple police job? - Yes, of course,
1:12:41 > 1:12:48- but, between you and me, they are not riffraff, but secret policeman. - You're joking, of course?
1:12:48 > 1:12:52No, they are - really. And they are there for your protection!
1:12:52 > 1:12:55Let me tell you the rest!
1:12:55 > 1:13:02There's an element of anti-British fanatics, pledged to assassinate the ambassador and his staff!
1:13:02 > 1:13:09- In order to prevent this, the secret police are guarding the embassy. Correct?- Something like that.
1:13:09 > 1:13:12It's nice to know we won't be murdered in our beds.
1:13:12 > 1:13:17- Don't you think that dodge is a bit played out?- Yes...
1:13:17 > 1:13:19but what can we do?
1:13:19 > 1:13:26- Have you come across a fellow called Whistler?- No, I don't think so - one of yours.
1:13:26 > 1:13:30One of yours. I thought you might know him. Had an accident.
1:13:30 > 1:13:33I am sorry! Anything serious?
1:13:44 > 1:13:48- You sure it's all right?- Yes. - They'll be on time?
1:13:50 > 1:13:52At 3.00, then.
1:13:58 > 1:14:04In exactly two minutes, you will leave here and go to the embassy.
1:14:04 > 1:14:10Don't take notice of anything in the street - just go straight to the embassy.
1:14:10 > 1:14:12What if something goes wrong?
1:14:12 > 1:14:18- It won't, but if it does, there is an old loft at the back of this cafe...- An old what?
1:14:18 > 1:14:22Loft! Go there and I'll be waiting for you.
1:14:22 > 1:14:24In there?
1:14:24 > 1:14:26Yes, in there.
1:14:26 > 1:14:28Goodbye, Nicholas.
1:14:34 > 1:14:38Don't forget your tools. You're supposed to be a plumber.
1:14:42 > 1:14:44Thank you.
1:15:14 > 1:15:16Hey!
1:15:29 > 1:15:31Yes?
1:15:31 > 1:15:35Hold them, all of them! I'm coming immediately.
1:15:35 > 1:15:38Get them!
1:15:47 > 1:15:49SIREN
1:16:27 > 1:16:30Good afternoon, Mr Whistler.
1:16:33 > 1:16:35Stop that man!
1:16:41 > 1:16:45- We got all of them, sir! - You let him go! Idiot!
1:16:48 > 1:16:51Who put you up to this?
1:16:51 > 1:16:55No-one, sir! They told me the embassy was employing waiters!
1:16:55 > 1:17:00You'd all to come at the same time? Yes, sir. 3.00 - in tails.
1:17:00 > 1:17:03BRASS BAND PLAYS
1:19:07 > 1:19:14- Circulate this description.- Yes, sir.- He'll go where the crowds are. I want men at every public event -
1:19:14 > 1:19:20- football grounds, swimming pools, beer gardens, everywhere!- Yes.
1:19:57 > 1:20:00That's mine, comrade!
1:20:00 > 1:20:02Oh, yes...
1:20:45 > 1:20:50- What's wrong?- You burned me, you fool!- I'm sorry. My cigarette...
1:20:52 > 1:20:56- Put some of this on. - You want to be more careful.
1:20:56 > 1:20:58I know. I'm sorry.
1:20:58 > 1:21:00You won't feel a thing.
1:21:04 > 1:21:07Sorry.
1:21:20 > 1:21:23These are number 400 - that's right, isn't it?
1:21:23 > 1:21:26Yes...
1:21:46 > 1:21:48Police!
1:21:48 > 1:21:51This way! Hands off!
1:21:51 > 1:21:53Take your hands off me!
1:21:53 > 1:21:55Help! Police!
1:22:29 > 1:22:31Milk!
1:23:03 > 1:23:05Vlasta?
1:23:05 > 1:23:07Oh, darling!
1:23:07 > 1:23:09I thought they'd caught you!
1:23:09 > 1:23:14I'm all right. I saw your father and just ran!
1:23:14 > 1:23:16I'm all right now, really!
1:23:16 > 1:23:19But where did you find these?
1:23:19 > 1:23:23- I'll explain later.- I'm sorry... - No, it's not your fault.
1:23:23 > 1:23:28I've a plan to get into the embassy. It doesn't involve you.
1:23:28 > 1:23:32It means I have to stay here till, well, dawn.
1:23:36 > 1:23:39CHINKING OF BOTTLES
1:23:41 > 1:23:43There's the milkman.
1:23:43 > 1:23:466.00. Yeah...
1:23:59 > 1:24:01This time I better not say goodbye.
1:24:03 > 1:24:05This time all will go well.
1:24:05 > 1:24:08You think?
1:24:08 > 1:24:10Take care.
1:24:15 > 1:24:17I love you.
1:24:31 > 1:24:33Milk! >
1:24:35 > 1:24:37Milk!
1:24:40 > 1:24:42Milk! >
1:24:57 > 1:25:00Milk!
1:25:08 > 1:25:11Milk!
1:25:16 > 1:25:19Hey, milkman!
1:25:21 > 1:25:25- What is it, comrade?- I want you...
1:25:28 > 1:25:31..There's something you ought to know...
1:25:31 > 1:25:33What's that?
1:25:34 > 1:25:39- There's a man in there! - Oh, you're drunk!- No...
1:25:44 > 1:25:47CRASH!
1:25:47 > 1:25:52Don't you hear anything? A voice in my head...
1:25:52 > 1:25:54It says, "Go home!"
1:25:54 > 1:25:56Milk!
1:26:16 > 1:26:18Morning.
1:26:18 > 1:26:20Milk!
1:26:32 > 1:26:35BELL RINGS
1:27:15 > 1:27:18You! Milkman! What are you doing?
1:27:18 > 1:27:22- Leave your milk and come away! - They asked me to call!
1:27:22 > 1:27:28- Put it down - leave!- They're having a reception. They want cream!
1:27:28 > 1:27:31Get me out of here, someone!
1:27:53 > 1:27:59- That's better. - Oh...do you think so? - Better than the Robin Hood outfit.
1:27:59 > 1:28:01Yes, I suppose it is.
1:28:01 > 1:28:06- It's very kind of you to lend them to me.- Looks more British, anyway.
1:28:06 > 1:28:10- I rather thought it did. - They're my golfing things.
1:28:10 > 1:28:15- I have a match on the 23rd, so bung them back as soon as possible.- Yes.
1:28:15 > 1:28:21- Don't wrap them in paper. Use a cardboard box.- Yes. - They're inclined to burst.
1:28:21 > 1:28:23What are?
1:28:23 > 1:28:25Paper parcels.
1:28:27 > 1:28:32- I'll take the greatest care. - Good chap. Remember - the 23rd.
1:28:32 > 1:28:34Against the Turks.
1:28:34 > 1:28:40- Thank you again. I'll remember. - Not at all. We had to make you presentable.
1:28:40 > 1:28:44There you are! You took your time getting here.
1:28:44 > 1:28:50- I thought you weren't going to come. I'd no idea...- Neither did I! I want to talk to you!
1:28:50 > 1:28:53I want to talk to you too! Sit down!
1:28:53 > 1:28:58Now, then, about the message... Have you got it?
1:29:00 > 1:29:02Well, in a way...
1:29:02 > 1:29:06- How do you mean - in a way? - I swallowed it.
1:29:06 > 1:29:10- Swallowed it! - They were trying to arrest me!
1:29:10 > 1:29:14I suppose there's no chance of... No... Never mind. Can't be helped.
1:29:14 > 1:29:20You did your best. Coffee? Before I forget... This is important.
1:29:20 > 1:29:25The money I gave you - I shall need chits for it. It's all accountable.
1:29:30 > 1:29:35- Whistler, there's a paper on the table I'd like you to glance at.- Oh?
1:29:35 > 1:29:37What is it?
1:29:37 > 1:29:40The Official Secrets Act.
1:29:40 > 1:29:42Oh, really?
1:29:42 > 1:29:47- Got the gist of it?- Hardly. It's long.- Bit of a rigmarole.
1:29:47 > 1:29:49Just put your name at the bottom.
1:29:49 > 1:29:55- I never sign until I read the small print.- You can't go home till you sign.- Home?
1:29:55 > 1:30:02- You can't stay - we're exchanging you for a fourth attache at the Hungarian Embassy!- Is that good?
1:30:02 > 1:30:04Yes. Quite a feather in your cap!
1:30:04 > 1:30:10By the way, that formula you were carting about, did you look at it?
1:30:10 > 1:30:15- I did give it a sort of brief glance.- Any idea what it was about?
1:30:15 > 1:30:18No. Not the faintest.
1:30:18 > 1:30:20What a pity!
1:30:20 > 1:30:22- You mean you didn't know?- No.
1:30:22 > 1:30:30A chap in Naval Intelligence gave us the tip. Thought it might be important. Never said what it was.
1:30:41 > 1:30:47Since you're going to London, leave that at the War House, will you?
1:30:52 > 1:30:57You can drink the gin, but be careful of the local water!
1:30:57 > 1:30:59Yes, Father.
1:31:04 > 1:31:08- What are you doing here? - Seeing someone off.
1:31:13 > 1:31:17Bit suspicious! Never any intention of keeping him here.
1:31:17 > 1:31:22No, it's my daughter. Got her a position with our trade mission.
1:31:24 > 1:31:27Whistler! Keep the briefcase away from her!
1:31:31 > 1:31:36Never mind. They tell me the waiting room is neutral territory.
1:31:36 > 1:31:39This time, the drinks are on me.
1:31:39 > 1:31:44Did you say you were going to England on a trade mission?
1:31:44 > 1:31:47Yes, a place called Aldermaston.
1:31:50 > 1:31:53Well, you won't need this!
1:31:58 > 1:31:59Look...
