0:06:29 > 0:06:32- I'll be right back.- Oh, um...
0:06:32 > 0:06:37- I guess I won't be seeing you again, Mr Kopeikin.- You never can tell.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Thank you for everything. - That's quite all right. Come.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Don't forget we have an early train.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49- Did you visit many cabarets on your trip, Howard?- No, too busy.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Ah, that's a shame. Howard, where are you going?
0:06:53 > 0:07:00- To the bar.- Bar! I know a better place.- I haven't got my coat and hat.- It's just round the corner.

0:09:51 > 0:09:56- I enjoyed your dancing.- It's wrong to say that Americans are not polite.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00They are clever in business and yet generous and sincere.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02You hear that, Howard?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06The champagne is filthy. I cannot leave with a headache.

0:13:02 > 0:13:07I'm sorry, Howard. I didn't know anything like this would happen.
0:13:15 > 0:13:21This is terrible. You've got me involved in a dirty nightclub shooting. I've gotta call my wife.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54No, thank you. This man is the local agent.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10We know who is trying to kill you.
0:17:12 > 0:17:20Here's his picture. He is a thug, in the employ of a Nazi agent, name of Muller, operating in Sofia.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24He doesn't look very friendly.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Banat?- I thought you said his name was Miller.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Muller is his employer.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34This man's name is supposed to be Peter Banat.
0:17:34 > 0:17:40Hmm. He is an assassin. A professional.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46Mr Graham, some men are natural killers. Banat is one of them.
0:17:48 > 0:17:54He was convicted ten years ago in Yassi for helping to kick a man to death.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00It's said that his price for killing a man has been as low as 5,000 francs...

0:18:06 > 0:18:11..we know a week ago, Muller got in touch with Banat.
0:18:11 > 0:18:17Tonight, we learn Banat is here. It was he who shot at you at the cabaret. A waiter identified him.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21I'm dumbfounded. But I'm dumbfounded every 25 minutes.
0:18:21 > 0:18:27- Can't you arrest him? - We will when we find him. But now we must get you safely to America.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I'll get safely back to America.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35- Whenever we're in a hurry, we come last!- If we miss the boat, we'll sue the government.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17It is little better than a floating slum.

0:19:26 > 0:19:33My dear Graham, if you leave on that or any other train, you will be dead before you reach Batumi.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38This is much the less obvious way of getting you out of Turkey.

0:27:03 > 0:27:08- My name is Mr Kuvetli, sir. - My name is Howard Graham.
0:27:08 > 0:27:16- This is Mademoiselle Josette. - My boss cannot speak English and he cannot write - he is ignorant.
0:27:16 > 0:27:23I reply to all favours from England and abroad. But he knows a lot about tobacco. We produce the best.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Try cigarette made with tobacco Ferma Pazah and Company.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31It's stuffy in here. I would like to go outside. You will come with me?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Thank you, Mr Kuvetli. Will you join us?
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Quiet! You are keeping us all awake! Shhh!
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I'm terribly sorry.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- See you later.- Yes.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- I do not like that man. - Personally, I like the Turks.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55- Would you like to go upstairs? - I really ought to get some sleep.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- As you wish.- It's been quite a night.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Wish I'd brought my top coat.
0:28:02 > 0:28:08- It is pretty up there.- Gogo is probably asleep. He will want to play cards with you tomorrow.
0:28:08 > 0:28:14- I'll try to think of a game I play well.- He will win anyway but I have warned you.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17I'll remember that when I lose.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20DISTANT GRAMOPHONE RECORD STICKS
0:28:20 > 0:28:23We can see the sunrise together.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41KNOCK AT DOOR
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Who is it?
0:28:52 > 0:28:56I may come in? Yes.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03I am Colonel Haki.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16Where's Howard? What have you done with him?
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Kopeikin hasn't told you? No.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Oh. Er...
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Kopeikin hasn't told you.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32I, myself, have come to deliver your passport.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Mrs Graham... Yes?
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Your husband, Mr Graham... Yes?
0:29:43 > 0:29:45He has taken the boat. Boat?
0:29:45 > 0:29:49You're to take the train. You have reservations. Yes, but...
0:29:49 > 0:29:55I don't know why he's left me. You're to wait for him at the hotel at Batumi.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Colonel Haki, you can be frank with me. I'm sure I can.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03I can stand it. Why did he go like this?
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Is it...?
0:30:06 > 0:30:11No. Oh, no! No, Mrs Graham.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Who is she? I said nothing, Mrs Graham.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18I'm sure you are wrong.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20What shall I do?
0:30:20 > 0:30:23What's to become of me?
0:30:26 > 0:30:29What's to become of me?
0:30:31 > 0:30:34We'll think of something.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38HE SLURPS NOISILY
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- Hello. - Good afternoon.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Good afternoon.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04My name is Haller. Dr Fritz Haller.
0:31:04 > 0:31:11- Mine's Howard Graham.- I am a German. A good German of the former Germany. I am on my way back to Tehran.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15I am travelling on a League of Nations passport.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18I'm an American.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21This steward is an imbecile.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24The French couple at the next table were placed here.
0:31:24 > 0:31:29They objected to eating with "the enemy", insulted me and moved.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33The food here is very monotonous without conversation.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I agree with you there.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40THEY SPEAK ITALIAN
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- Were you long in Turkey? - A few weeks. I came from Persia.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Oil?- No, Mr Graham, archaeology.- Oh.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53I was investigating the early pre-Islamic cultures.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- I am boring you already?- Not at all.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- War!- >
0:32:02 > 0:32:07It is not businesslike. Makes it very difficult to earn money.
0:32:07 > 0:32:14- Money?!- I take no side. I do not care who wins.- War is terrible. - War is stupid. Bad for business.
0:32:14 > 0:32:20- Voice of the fool with the tongue of the wise. I must check on my wife. Excuse me.- Certainly.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26War is the last refuge of the capitalist.
0:32:26 > 0:32:32He talks like a fool but you should take no notice. He won the silver war badge.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37A piece of silver on the chest to serenade the piece of steel inside.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Women are more ferocious as patriots than men. Don't you agree?
0:32:41 > 0:32:46Me? Please. I am neutral. I know nothing. I have no opinion.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50- I sell tobacco. - Tobacco? In Istanbul? What company?
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- Pazah and Company. Istanbul. - Pazah? I don't...
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Look! There is Trabzon!
0:32:57 > 0:33:02Oh, we should go ashore and get some real food.
0:33:08 > 0:33:15- "Stephanie, dear, I think of you all the time and dream of you at night." - Right. One message, two addresses.
0:33:15 > 0:33:22- Send it right off. - "Looked for wire here but none. All beyond my control..."- Thank you.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26"See you Grand Hotel, Batumi, Saturday. Love you." Very good, sir.
0:33:39 > 0:33:45- The Greek woman over there, her husband was killed in Athens. - Quiet!- Mr Graham...
0:33:45 > 0:33:50- Did you enjoy your excursion ashore this afternoon?- Why, er...
0:33:50 > 0:33:53I didn't go. I was, but...
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- Yes?- I want to talk to the captain.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00HE SPEAKS ITALIAN
0:35:00 > 0:35:06- Now what's the matter, monsieur?- It's necessary that I be put ashore. Immediately.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09HE SPEAKS ITALIAN
0:35:09 > 0:35:12RAUCOUS LAUGHTER >
0:35:16 > 0:35:19I want to be put ashore.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21- You're too late.- I'm willing to pay.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26This is a ship, not a taxi. We carry cargo on a schedule.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- This is a question of life and death.- Naturally...
0:35:30 > 0:35:35There's a man on the boat who's here purely to murder me.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38HE SPEAKS ITALIAN
0:35:42 > 0:35:45I am not crazy!
0:35:45 > 0:35:49No, not at all, monsieur. What's his name?
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Banat. B-A-N-A-T.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Now, just a minute.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57What's so funny?
0:35:57 > 0:36:04- There's no-one by that name.- He sat across the table from me at dinner. - Number seven cabin.- I don't know.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Mavrodopolos. He's a Greek businessman.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12Will you please radio Colonel Haki of the Turkish police in...?
0:36:12 > 0:36:15We are not in Turkish territorial waters.
0:36:15 > 0:36:21- Our wireless is for navigational... - The man means to kill me!- Why?
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Because he's been paid to kill me.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29- Who pays him?- The... Can't you speak English? - HE ROARS WITH LAUGHTER
0:36:29 > 0:36:35The captain speaks only Greek, Italian, Russian and Turkish. But I understand.
0:36:35 > 0:36:42- You have perhaps had a bad dream. - I haven't...- I suggest you lie down in your cabin, and remember...
0:36:42 > 0:36:46nobody's going to murder you on this ship. There are too many people.
0:36:46 > 0:36:51Any case, this ship stops in Batumi, not before. Now, please excuse me.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54< Close the door as you go out.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57Boom, boom!
0:37:10 > 0:37:16- Hello, Mr Graham.- Good evening.- It's going to be nasty out tomorrow.- Yes. - My wife doesn't...
0:37:16 > 0:37:21- You will catch cold! Come back to bed!- You go back, cherie.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Have you got a wife, sir?
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- Yes, I have. Excuse me.- Has she got a bad temper?- No.- Ah, you're lucky.
0:37:28 > 0:37:33For years I lived in misery. Then one day I made a discovery.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38There was a socialist meeting and I went to it. Because I was curious.
0:37:38 > 0:37:45The speaker was good. Later we were with friends and I repeated what I heard. My wife laughed in an odd way.
0:37:45 > 0:37:51And I made a discovery. I found out my wife was a snob and more stupid than I'd dreamed.
0:37:51 > 0:37:57She said I'd humiliated her. Her friends were respectable and I must not speak like a working man.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00She wept. Then I knew I was free.
0:38:00 > 0:38:07I bought books and pamphlets to make my arguments more damaging. And my wife became very docile.
0:38:07 > 0:38:14- She even cooked things I like just so I wouldn't disgrace her.- So, you don't believe what you say?- No.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18That's where my little joke comes in. For a while I was free.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23Then a terrible thing happened. I began to believe. I'd found a truth.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28I, a capitalist by instinct, became a socialist by conviction.
0:38:28 > 0:38:34There was a strike at the factory and I, the manager, supported it. I was dismissed.
0:38:34 > 0:38:40I've become a man in my home at the price of becoming a bore outside.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47Josette.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Josette.
0:40:06 > 0:40:12- Remember I said I came on this ship to avoid somebody who's trying to shoot me?- Yes, a bad joke.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15A very bad joke, only it's true.
0:40:15 > 0:40:22- You're lying to me.- I'm afraid not. - What have you done that someone should wish to kill you?- Nothing.
0:40:22 > 0:40:28- Some business competitors don't want me to get back to America. - You ARE lying.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Yes, I'm lying, but not very much.
0:40:31 > 0:40:36- Some people don't want me to get back to the States.- Who are they?
0:40:36 > 0:40:42I only know one. His name is Muller or Miller or something. He lives in Sofia. A Nazi agent.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47- Le salaud! But he cannot touch you now.- I'm afraid he can.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53- That fat man is working for him. - The Greek?- He's not Greek.
0:40:53 > 0:40:59- His real name's Banat. He's been hired to kill me.- How do you know? - I've seen his picture.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- This is not very nice.- No, it's not.
0:41:02 > 0:41:08He knows you suspect him. He was watching you. Kuvetli was watching you also. You looked so curious!
0:41:08 > 0:41:14You mean I looked frightened. Frightened to death. I was, I'll admit it.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19Why shouldn't I be? And besides, someone has stolen my gun!
0:41:20 > 0:41:22You must think I'm a fool.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26No, cheri. I think perhaps you're tired.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31I'm sorry. I guess I was worried about my gun.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Don't worry. I'll tell you something...
0:41:34 > 0:41:41- The fat man doesn't carry a gun. - How do you know?- His clothes are tight. You could see the shape.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45He's got a gun. I know. He must keep it in his cabin.
0:41:45 > 0:41:51- He's in the saloon. I could see he doesn't go to his cabin for a long time.- How?- Gogo will do it.- Gogo?
0:41:51 > 0:41:56- I won't tell Gogo about you. He will play cards with him. - Will Gogo ask him?
0:41:56 > 0:42:04I'll tell Gogo I saw this man open a wallet with a lot of money in it. Gogo will see he plays cards.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- Can you keep him there? - I'll make certain.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09You wait here.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Won't you join me, Mr Graham?
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- I'm just getting some fresh air.- Oh.
0:42:21 > 0:42:28Do you see land from a ship? Or do you see a ship from land? I used to like both. Now I dislike both.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33When a man reaches my age, he grows, I think, to resent subconsciously,
0:42:33 > 0:42:39the movement of everything except the respiratory muscles which keep him alive. Movement is change.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42To an old man, change means death.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Excuse me.
0:42:44 > 0:42:49- I think I will say good night.- Good night.- Good night, mademoiselle.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52I must go. I came to tell you it's all right.
0:42:52 > 0:42:57- Come to the saloon afterwards so I know you have finished.- All right.
0:43:16 > 0:43:17Boom, boom!
0:43:17 > 0:43:20HE LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY
0:44:49 > 0:44:52FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:45:11 > 0:45:13Mr Graham, I was waiting for you.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16This is what you have been looking for, isn't it?
0:45:16 > 0:45:19Close the door, please.
0:45:21 > 0:45:26- I thought I had better keep this for Mevrodopolos.- Banat.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29Banat's easier to say.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32I wonder if your name happens to be Muller.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35You have guessed it. I am Muller.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38But I like being an archaeologist.
0:45:38 > 0:45:43I got my speeches from this - the Sumerian Pantheon by Fritz Haller.
0:45:43 > 0:45:48I should not like to think of you being murdered by my employee.
0:45:48 > 0:45:54But as things stand, you will be dead within a few moments of landing at Batumi tomorrow.
0:45:54 > 0:46:00If you die before reaching America, someone would be sent in your place.
0:46:00 > 0:46:05But your work will be delayed. That is all we're interested in.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08Mr Graham, you are a fortunate man.
0:46:08 > 0:46:12- What does that mean?- You are going to catch typhus.- What?
0:46:12 > 0:46:17When you get to Batumi, you will be taken to a small private hospital.
0:46:17 > 0:46:21In six weeks, you will have recovered. How does that appeal?
0:46:21 > 0:46:28- Has it occurred to you that I may not be so stupid as you think? - You're a fool! You know nothing!
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Oh, I don't?
0:46:30 > 0:46:38One thing you do not know is that Colonel Haki installed one of his agents on board to watch over you.
0:46:38 > 0:46:42I tried hard yesterday to interest you in Mr Kuvetli.
0:46:42 > 0:46:48- Are you telling me Kuvetli is a Turkish agent?- I wanted to see you before he made himself known.
0:46:48 > 0:46:54He has his duty to do and will have evolved some plan for getting you to safety.
0:46:54 > 0:46:58I wanted to warn you against telling him my plan.
0:46:58 > 0:47:03It'd be embarrassing if an agent of the government knew our deception.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06You see what I mean, Mr Graham?
0:47:06 > 0:47:10If you let Mr Kuvetli into our secret,
0:47:10 > 0:47:14you destroy your only chance of returning to America alive.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17It's a solemn thought, isn't it?
0:47:27 > 0:47:30- KNOCKING - Graham?
0:47:34 > 0:47:37- KNOCKING - Graham?
0:47:37 > 0:47:41Come to the wall. I'm in the next cabin.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46Well?
0:47:46 > 0:47:50This is Kuvetli. We'll meet on the well deck in five minutes.
0:47:50 > 0:47:55Wait there for me. It's best if our conversations are not overheard.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58Er...all right.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35- Where are you?- Here, Graham.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42If you're a Turkish agent, why didn't you tell me?
0:48:42 > 0:48:47From Colonel Haki. I was to keep my identity secret until necessary.
0:48:47 > 0:48:52- Did you know Muller was aboard?- Not until I saw him talking to Banat.
0:48:52 > 0:48:57Muller wants me to lay low in some private hospital for a while.
0:48:57 > 0:49:01- Did you overhear that too? - He underrates you.
0:49:01 > 0:49:06He tried to persuade you to be murdered in a convenient way.
0:49:06 > 0:49:12Oh. I'll be killed if I accept his proposal and I'll be killed if I don't.
0:49:12 > 0:49:18Not necessarily. Go back to Muller. Tell him you agree to his suggestion.
0:49:18 > 0:49:23- Tell him you do not trust me. Say I threatened you.- What with? Death?
0:49:23 > 0:49:30- That would be a little silly, wouldn't it?- Not so silly, Graham. You must obey my orders.- Well...
0:49:30 > 0:49:35I'm a Turk, Graham. I fought with the Gazi for Turkish freedom.
0:49:35 > 0:49:41I will give my life to protect our work. Do you think it strange that I should not hesitate to give yours?
0:49:41 > 0:49:45- I guess not. I'll do anything you say.- Good.
0:49:45 > 0:49:50Tonight, after seeing Muller, go to your cabin and lock yourself in.
0:49:50 > 0:49:56Tomorrow morning, before we dock, go to the cabin at the end of the corridor. Number 5.
0:49:56 > 0:50:01Stay there. Muller and Banat will have to wait for you on the dock.
0:50:01 > 0:50:08- I'll go earlier on the pilot boat to arrange for their arrest. Do you understand?- Yes, I think I do.
0:50:08 > 0:50:12You feel better now, hmm? Good luck, Graham.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17- You have seen Kuvetli?- Yes.- Well?
0:50:17 > 0:50:22- I've decided to accept your advice. - At Kuvetli's suggestion?- My own.
0:50:22 > 0:50:26- Did he mention me by name? - Yes. He warned me against you.
0:50:26 > 0:50:31- How did you treat the warning?- I'm ignoring it. I'll follow your plan.
0:50:31 > 0:50:36- I don't trust him. We have to throw him off.- Kuvetli will be no trouble.
0:50:36 > 0:50:41The next he will hear of you is that you are suffering from typhus.

0:52:49 > 0:52:54- Good morning. May I speak to you? - Of course. You look serious.
0:52:54 > 0:52:57- I'll be back in a minute.- In here.
0:52:57 > 0:53:03- I need your help.- Certainly. - Can you take a message for me? - All right.
0:53:03 > 0:53:06Mr Matthews, in a way...
0:53:06 > 0:53:10at the moment, I'm at the joint services of the Allied governments.
0:53:10 > 0:53:14When I get off the ship, I may be killed by German agents.
0:53:14 > 0:53:21- You're in the secret service?- I want you to go to the Turkish consul. Will you?- What's the message?
0:53:21 > 0:53:23Tell him to tell Colonel Haki...
0:53:23 > 0:53:27- Haki.- H-A-K-I, in Istanbul... - Istanbul.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30- ..that I'm in trouble. - Is that all?- Well...
0:53:32 > 0:53:37In the event of my death, ask him to notify the American consul.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40Of course, Mr Graham.
0:53:40 > 0:53:47- I'd like to say something about my wife.- Oh, I understand. One doesn't confide these things. I'm not a fool.
0:53:47 > 0:53:55- Let's take our revolvers...- Wait! Did you say you had a revolver? - No, I haven't got a revolver.
0:53:55 > 0:54:00- Oh.- But I thought, of course, that you had. I'm sorry, Mr Graham.
0:54:00 > 0:54:03I'll deliver your message though.
0:54:03 > 0:54:05Thanks.
0:54:44 > 0:54:48She will come back. You don't understand, eh?
0:54:48 > 0:54:54- What?- She is very pretty, no? But she has no sense. Women do not understand business.
0:54:54 > 0:55:00I am Josette's partner so I have an interest in Josette. You wish to marry her?
0:55:00 > 0:55:08- What?- I do not give her up for nothing. Together, Josette and me, we earn 2,000 francs a week.
0:55:08 > 0:55:13- Look...- But I will...- Have you got a revolver?- A revolver?- Yes.
0:55:13 > 0:55:18- You do not believe we earn 2,000 francs a week?- Sure. Only...
0:55:20 > 0:55:25Why don't we all get off the boat together and discuss this later?
0:55:25 > 0:55:30- Well, cheri, is everything settled? - He wants us to meet him later.
0:55:30 > 0:55:32- No...- The car is waiting, Mr Graham.
0:55:32 > 0:55:36Go on, cheri. We'll all meet later.
0:55:40 > 0:55:43- Excuse me. - We will join you on the dock.
0:55:48 > 0:55:50Mr Graham.
0:55:56 > 0:56:00I'm sorry about the gun, Mr Graham, but I do have a knife.
0:56:01 > 0:56:03Please take it.
0:56:06 > 0:56:10- I know. Take it anyway.- Thanks. - One thing more.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12I have this.
0:56:14 > 0:56:20- I don't know what I'll do with that. - Nor do I but I put a point on it.
0:56:20 > 0:56:25- Good morning.- Goodbye. I'll be discreet.- Discreet?! What about?
0:56:25 > 0:56:31We are going to blow up the Bank of England, seize Parliament and set up a communist government.
0:56:31 > 0:56:38- You should not say such things even as a joke!- A joke?! Wait till we shoot them down!- Someone might hear!
0:56:38 > 0:56:41Let them hear!
0:56:41 > 0:56:44- Goodbye, Mr Graham. Good luck. - Thank you.
0:56:57 > 0:56:59Sorry.
0:57:46 > 0:57:49I haven't seen Mr Kuvetli today.
0:57:49 > 0:57:54- I hope everything's going to be all right.- This way, please, Mr Graham.

1:01:10 > 1:01:12< Oh, Howard...
1:01:12 > 1:01:14Yes, Stephanie.

1:01:19 > 1:01:22I'm invited downstairs for a cocktail.
1:01:22 > 1:01:26I am perfectly willing to spare your wife.
1:01:26 > 1:01:30..I couldn't really refuse. You'll forgive me, Mr Ridgeley?

1:02:20 > 1:02:24- Of course, if you put it that way. - Thank you.
