(mystical music)
(dramatic music)
How much longer are we gonna wait?
He's coming now.
[Reporter] Mr Kalinsky, can you tell us the reason
for your visit to this country?
Gentlemen, please.
Mr Kalinsky has not statement to make at present.
Thank you, gentlemen.
[Cashier] Good morning, sir.
Morning.
Thank you.
Mr Kalinsky.
We're delighted to have you here with us again.
Your usual suite is ready.
I'm expecting a Mr Benson to call.
Have him sent up the moment he arrives, will you please?
Certainly, see to that.
[Cashier] Very good, sir.
(knocking)
[Bellboy] The gentleman to see you, sir.
Thank you.
Mr Kalinsky's waiting for you.
[Gregoroff] How are you, Carmen?
Very well, thank you, sir.
[Gregoroff] Am I disturbing you?
Hm?
Oh my dear Gregoroff.
We meet again.
Profitably, I hope?
Very.
You're looking well.
Cigarette?
No, thank you,
I'll give you something really good to smoke.
[Gregoroff] Fine.
Speaking of something good.
The deals and subscriptions from the Key Club
this last year amounted to just under 5,000 pounds.
Excellent.
Lucky for us there's so many fools willing to give money
in the sacred cause of peace.
Present from a certain South American president.
In appreciation of your machine guns huh?
What death stealing inventions have we bought lately
in the cause of peace?
Well, for one thing, we purchased a gun
which kills thousands.
Only it doesn't work.
Then we've acquired a newer and deadlier poison gas.
But which isn't very affective.
Thank you.
The club members were very very pleased.
Good.
May I?
Do.
The sacred cause of peace, huh?
What about the Caldwell aeroplane?
We'll keep that for ourselves.
You're sure that works?
I've seen it.
It's perfect.
We can name our own price to any foreign power.
Splendid.
Now, I'll have the plans for you later this evening.
Then it won't be necessary
for me to go to Scotland tomorrow.
We've done all that's necessary in Scotland.
The inventor went there for secrecy.
Which suited us perfectly.
I understand.
What time is the meeting tonight?
Eight o'clock.
At Hartley manor.
And the club members are anxiously awaiting your speech.
I feel flattered.
By the way.
What is the subject of your sermon tonight?
Finances applied to world peace.
(laughing)
[Paperboy] Kalinsky in London!
Newspaper!
All of London's enlightened!
All of London's investing!
(knocking)
[Colonel] Ha, Good morning, Grayson.
Morning.
Seen the paper, Colonel?
No.
I wonder why he arrived in such a blaze
of publicity this time.
Well, probably to put our minds at ease.
If I had my way, I'd lock him up in a lunatic asylum.
That's where most of his mystery finances ought to be.
What he wants is a firing squad.
What good would that do, Grayson?
Do you know what's wrong with you fellows
at the Intelligence department?
Well, what.
You will not realise, that wherever there's trouble,
there will always be another Kalinsky.
Equally unscrupulous, ready to make war
a profitable business.
(phone ringing)
Yes, who is it?
All right, put him through.
Very interesting young fellow this.
Scotsman, got an idea for a robot aeroplane.
Very hush hush.
Yes, put Mr Caldwell through.
Hello.
He...
Stay right where you are, Mr Caldwell.
Hello.
Get him to the car.
He's been cut off.
Give me exchange again, will you please?
No, they cut me off.
(engine running)
Would you agree, Mr Caldwell?
I'm asking you a question, Mr Caldwell.
Mr Caldwell isn't answering questions.
He will.
(tyres screeching)
(gun firing)
Don't shoot, you fool, you'll kill him.
(glass breaking)
(dog barking)
Quiet, Jocko, basket.
- Good evening. - Evening.
How long have you been here?
[Drummond] Thirty year, come Christmas.
By the door.
[Drummond] Maybe five minutes.
- Seen anyone? - hmm-mm.
Two men. - Two men.
What were they like?
You should know, seen as how you be the two men.
Mind me coming in?
(feet stomping)
Who did that?
Wish I knew.
And you saw nothing at all curious?
Not 'til you came.
Search upstairs.
Can you keep your mouth shut?
I can, sir.
Well, look here, the man who did that,
escaped from an asylum.
It's unpleasant and we rather not have gossip.
I'll be too busy counting these.
Won't take me long though.
That's better.
[Man] Cal!
Did you find something upstairs?
(dog barking)
Gee, certainly they're long gone.
(dog yelping)
Come quick to the car.
Remember.
(feet stomping)
[Drummond] Good for you, boy.
Well, Jocko, what do you make of it?
Cranloch,
history,
Caldwell.
(leaves rustling)
There he is, make it to the car.
(door slamming)
Come out of there.
You're riding in the back this time.
(door slamming)
I wonder if there was a note wrapped around that stone
that went through the window.
(car engine starting)
Well, what do we do now, Jocko?
Walk four miles in the fog to tell the police?
You're right.
We wait until morning.
What do you think of that, Jocko?
No, you wouldn't like him at all.
He's not your type.
Cranloch, history, Caldwell.
Aeroplanes, history.
Air ministry.
(hood clicking open)
(hood clicking shut)
(door slamming)
Jocko.
(dog barking)
It's all right, Jocko.
Oh, forgive me,
but the door was open.
Can I be of any assistance?
My car's broken down.
I wonder if could use your phone?
You could if we had one.
Oh dear, what a morning.
I've come out without my breakfast.
Would you care to share an egg?
I'd share anything.
Let's stick to an egg for the present.
Won't you come in.
Thank you.
Welcome to the castle.
I'll prepare the banquet.
Can the lady in distress help?
The lady in distress needs help.
Oh, I don't know.
I can boil water.
And I can burn toast.
I'm afraid I'm putting you through a lot of bother.
Think nothing of it.
If there's one thing I like more than another,
it's being bothered.
Living alone?
Oh, no, I have protection.
My housekeeper's returning this morning.
In the meantime, I'm headman.
Thank you, Jenkins.
Thank you, madam, but the name is Jeeves.
Indian or China?
What are you having?
Indian, and you?
China.
Correct.
That's a versatile tea pot.
Quite, sugar?
[Doris] Yes, please.
(Jocko yelping)
Oh gee.
I wonder what went wrong with your car.
What usually happens to a car
that refuses to go?
It stops.
Here we are.
Shingled?
Bobbed.
Oh, sorry.
What an attractive bag.
It is, isn't it?
Sort of matches my gloves.
And your eyes.
Let's stick to the gloves.
Well, this is delightful.
It looks a bit strong.
It is strong.
Jeeves will remedy that.
I hope this isn't going to be the end of our acquaintance.
Well, I've done my part.
And I've done mine.
Say when.
When.
I do enjoy a good cup of tea, don't you?
Oh, yes, yes I do.
But you're not drinking yours.
It's cold.
Let me give you some hot water.
Thanks.
Oh hell.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
Careless of me.
I'll have to get out of these if you'll excuse me.
I hope I didn't burn you.
Just a little.
(feet stomping)
(clanging)
(paper crumpling)
Cranloch, air ministry, Caldwell.
Oh, come on me darling, come on Jocko.
Did you think I forgot ya?
Well, indeed I didn't.
Come on in with your mother
and see what I got for you, there me child,
go on, got a lovely bit of meat here for you,
so I have.
Good morning.
Who are you?
Heavens, will you look at the glass?
What's been going on here?
It's all right, Norah.
It's perfectly respectable.
We've only had breakfast together.
Well, this is Norah my housekeeper, Miss...
Thompson.
I'm Hugh Drummond.
Well, I want to know what's happened.
Happened?
Yes, the window.
Oh, the window.
Well, that was a very curious thing, Norah.
A stone came through the window last night
with a message wrapped around it.
Go on.
What sort of message?
It seemed to be for someone named Ints in Mundesley.
How exciting.
Did you call the police, Mr Hugh?
Ah, that's the sad part of it.
Jocko ate the evidence.
What a pity.
Yes, isn't it?
Now, let's see if we can do something about your car.
No, no, it's a messy job.
I've already spilled tea all over you.
Oh, what's a pair of pants between friends?
I don't suppose there's anything really wrong
with the car.
No, I don't suppose there is.
It just stopped.
They do sometimes.
But generally a reason, don't you think?
I suppose so.
It's a good point to start from.
(feet stomping)
You know I've found very few women who can handle cars.
I found very few men who can handle women.
Your starter works.
So I've heard.
You have no spark.
That's the first complaint I've had.
Please, I'm still talking about the car.
I think you'll find they run better
with the wires connected.
(engine starting) Ow!
Oh, I'm sorry.
My hand slipped.
I hope that doesn't happen often.
Not very.
Thank you, Mr Drummond.
Don't mention it.
Good bye, Mr Drummond.
Oh, I hope you don't mind running me into Cambridge.
I wanna collect my car.
After all you had one of my eggs.
So, I did.
I hope you're not nervous.
Oh, not a bit.
(car engine running)
(brakes squeaking)
[Doris] I've got to telephone my uncle.
All right.
You want any pennies?
No, thank you.
Ring up a good hospital for me
while you're about it.
That's an idea.
(phone ringing)
(mumbling)
Yes.
It's Doris.
You didn't get anything?
What the devil do you think we send you there for?
Did you search the place?
Find any sort of message?
Says the fella told her there was no message.
Did you get his name?
Drummond?
Drummond!
Captain Drummond.
Uncle all right?
He needed cheering up a bit.
He was a little worried.
Who isn't?
I'll drop you at my hotel.
Just stop, I'll get out.
(car engine running)
Send the car to the garage.
I hope you enjoyed your ride.
Well, good bye, Mr Drummond.
Oh, I'm not leaving you yet.
I just remembered
I didn't finish my cup of tea this morning.
You surely wouldn't leave me to drink my tea alone.
After all... - I know, the egg.
- Morning, Miss Thompson. - Morning.
Tea for two please.
Oh, but I really ought to be going.
Remember the egg.
Will you excuse me a moment?
I have to telephone my aunt.
(phone ringing)
Hello.
Oh,
hello.
Hugh.
Dear old boy, is it serious?
What do you mean, drinking with a Bodger?
Tried to poison your tea?
I don't like the sound of it at all.
What?
Well, naturally, of course, I'll come at once
and in the meantime, if you meet her again,
fool her, order coffee.
Aunt all right?
Trifle depressed.
I'm sure she needn't be.
This is cosy, isn't it?
Good bye.
Oh, good bye's so final.
Why not make it Au revoir or auf Wiedersehen
or even so long?
Good bye, Mr Drummond.
(feet stomping)
The jury fail to agree.
Waiter. - Yes sir.
How long has Miss Thompson been staying here?
Three or four weeks, sir.
She and her uncle, Dr Belfrus.
(tongue clicking)
Why?
- He's nuts. - Nuts?
- Screwy. - Screwy?
Do you mean batty?
Yes, balmy.
Thinks he can stop wars, sir.
Him and his friends hold meetings about it, sir.
They call themselves the Key Club.
Key Club?
Yes, that's their badge, sir, a key.
The key what unlocks the door to peace.
Lot of hoo wee, sir.
What about your tea, sir?
What time is it?
Half past 11.
Bring me a beer.
Yes sir.
(sniffing)
No, couldn't be the best Indian tea at that price.
All right, lady, we often meet people like you.
Now, here's a sample packet.
Make a cup now and judge for yourself.
Well, mind, if I don't like it, I won't buy it.
All right, lady, I'll be coming back.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
(whistling)
(papers crumpling)
(car engine stopping)
(door bell ringing)
(birds chirping)
Norah, Norah.
(dog barking)
Jocko, Jocko!
(barking)
Come on out.
Feet first.
All right, Jocko.
I ain't done nothing, mister.
I swear, I ain't done nothing at all.
Nothing, where's my housekeeper?
How should I know?
That's what I'm gonna find out.
I don't know where she is, I tell you, governor,
governor, I don't know where she is,
I don't know anything about, I swear I don't.
(Jocko barking)
We'll leave in a moment, Jocko.
Now, who sent you here?
So, that's it.
Perhaps this will put some light on the subject.
Don't do it, governor, don't do it, I'll tell you.
Well.
It's the Key Club.
Go on.
We take our orders from Dr Belfrus.
Yes?
The club's a blind.
Oh, and who gives Belfrus his orders.
I can't tell you, oh, I can't tell you.
All right, all right.
The name of the man who gives the doctor his orders is...
(feet stomping)
(birds chirping)
Now, we'll get down to serious business.
Norah!
Norah.
Drugged.
(door slamming)
(feet stomping)
(door slamming)
Oh dear.
I feel queer, I must be.
I must be getting old or something.
Oh.
(car engine running)
- Ringmond. - Yes.
I tell you these things don't happen in England.
Oh, don't they?
Are you sure the man is dead?
If he's not my name's not Drummond.
Well, you should know, Bulldog.
Where's the body?
There.
He's obviously quite dead.
Obviously.
Just a formality.
[Algy] Oh darling.
What?
Oh, hello, Hugh.
Why the boy scouts?
There was a man in that chair.
There is.
Stop playing the fool.
Suppose you stop playing the fool, sir.
When he arrived there was a man tied in that chair, dead.
No.
Is this your idea of a joke, Mr Drummond?
But I assure you.
I take this a very serious matter at the moment.
Now, wait a moment.
[Norah] What's going on here?
You all right, Norah?
Of course I'm all right.
D'you know, I must be getting old or something,
I got a terrible headache, then I fell asleep.
My goodness, look at the state of the place.
Come along.
You know it's a serious offence to lead police officers
on a wild goose chase?
Don't let it happen again.
[Algy] I don't think he likes you, old boy.
Incredible.
Oh, you're here, are you?
I might've known it.
Once you two get together, there's sure to be trouble.
Ah, but darling, surely you love it.
Ah, go on, out with that, would you.
This is serious Algy.
Got you down, hey?
Got me going.
Good, after you telephoned me,
I got in touch with Grayson.
He'll meet us at the hotel at six.
You think of everything, don't you?
Well, one of us must, after all, don't you think so?
Oh.
Ah, here you are, waiter.
Waiter.
Oh, my mistake.
When Caldwell wasn't put through,
you suspected nothing?
No reason to.
I thought we were just cut off.
Does the name Cranloch mean anything to you?
Caldwell's workshop, it runs from a place
called Cranloch Head.
Cranloch Head.
And Jocko ate the Head.
And you believe this Key Club is mixed up
in this thing somehow?
I do.
I think it's at the back of the whole thing.
Okay, Grayson, what are you smoking?
Sailors' socks?
The girl puzzles me.
After she tried to poison him.
Just a boy scout old fellow.
I say, waiter, what about a little service?
Maybe I'm wrong.
Do you mind?
Certainly not.
A bit crowded.
Fearful, fearful.
You come here often?
Quite often, quite often.
[Algy] I say, look here.
Excuse me, sir, what is that?
Member of the Key Club, you know, the Key Club.
And what does the key represent?
It represents the unlocking of the door
to a more satisfactory world.
There's a meeting of the local branch tonight.
Very large membership, very large.
What, a meeting here?
No, no.
Hartley Towers.
Local secretary's place.
And who's he?
Dr Belfrus.
Nice chap, nice chap.
There.
And there.
What'll you have, sir.
Thanks very much, I'll have the same.
- There. - Thanks very much.
- This is Mr... - Portside, Reginald Portside.
Cheers.
Cheers, cheers.
Mr Portside is an important member of the Key Club.
You were asking about that only the other day.
Oh, was I?
Oh, so I was, what?
Can you take visitors?
With pleasure, with pleasure.
We welcome recruits.
There's your chance, Algy.
Mr Portside says the Key Club welcomes new members.
If you'll be kind enough to introduce my friend.
Please, please.
Oh, yes, but you've got something else on tonight,
haven't you, Algy?
I'd be very interested.
Then come along, sir.
Come along.
We're leaving at 8:15, 8:15, excuse me.
8:15.
I say, why does he have to say everything twice?
Just doubly anxious, old boy.
[Portside] I didn't quite get your name, mr...
Davenport, Gerald Davenport.
Gerald Davenport, thank you.
Come on.
(crowd chattering)
(knocking)
Ladies and gentlemen.
It makes me very happy to see
such a representative gathering assembled
for our meeting this evening.
(clapping)
That's Dr Belfrus.
The occasion is doubly momentous.
Because we have with us tonight a very distinguished guest
who has promised to address you on a topic
which is very near to all our hearts.
That of world peace.
(clapping)
The famous financier, Mr Ivan Kalinsky.
Members of the Key Club.
It is a great honour and privilege
to address you this evening.
Does your car always break down
just after it's been repaired?
No, it's usually repaired just after it's broken down.
Why not have it repaired first?
Oh, oh dear, oh dear.
Not tired are you?
Oh, no, no, no, I got beyond that miles back.
Oh, thanks, so much, old boy.
What did nature give you two feet for anyway?
One for the clutch, one for the accelerator.
[Kalinsky] And above all, ladies and gentlemen,
simply if I can say...
Oh, Hugh, do you realise
all the people in there are sitting down?
Quiet.
But what is this Key Club, a jamboree for locksmiths?
It's a blind.
You mean something crooked?
Right.
Here, old boy.
[Kalinsky] There it is, ladies and gentlemen.
As simply as I can state it.
There can be no war without weapons.
And no weapons without money.
And the power of money, my friends, is harnessed
on the side of sanity, of progress and of peace.
(clapping)
Jolly good, jolly good.
Coffee and sandwiches now.
I hope.
There she is.
The waitress?
No, the second from the end.
Where do you think you are?
The Folly Bezier?
Who is she?
The woman I had tea with.
Oh, Mrs Bodger.
Oh, Mr Gregoroff, may I present Mr...
Davenport.
Glad to see you here.
Most interesting.
Excellent speech from Mr Kalinsky,
straight from the shoulders, straight from the...
If you'll excuse me.
I'm glad you see it.
How old are these thing?
Fighting boss to give their cooperation.
Yes, I suppose that as for us all.
Excuse me.
Shut the door.
[Kalinsky] What's up?
There's a British Agent at this meeting, named Grayson,
calls himself Davenport.
Are you sure?
I never forget a face.
They're up to something
and we've got to get Caldwell out of here.
Go upstairs, I'll join you presently.
Come on, let's get hold of Grayson,
he'll give us a lift.
My shoes are so full of feet.
Not yet.
But why not, everything's over.
Everything's just beginning.
What's happened?
I just met Gregoroff.
He's tumbled me.
Then we might as well go home.
I've got to go the Inn with our fat friend.
But when I can get rid of him, I'll wait for you
at the cottage.
Better stay at the hotel, there's no phone
You sure you won't want me?
I got Algy.
And I got sore feet.
Well, I'll see you in a while.
I'm sorry I can't stay longer,
but I must get back to London.
Good night.
It's been a great honour, Mr Kalinsky.
Good night. - Good night.
That was the only way to get in that room.
Why not use the open window?
We'd better think of a reason for being there.
Let me think.
I'll save you the trouble.
You've lost your hat.
Here, I say.
Come on, follow me and don't get lost.
I don't like my hair.
Down, Algy, down.
What are we looking for?
Your hat.
(crowd chattering)
Hello, what are you looking for?
I have no idea, sir?
Splendid, fellow.
My friend has lost his hat.
Hat, sir?
Did you look in the cloak room?
Did you look in the cloak room, Algy?
No.
Where is it?
Over there, sir.
Thank you very much.
(crowd chattering)
[Doris] We're expecting you at the next meeting
of the Key Club.
Thank you, you're doing wonderful work, Doctor.
Good night.
- Good night. - Good night.
Well that's the last of them.
You can lock up now.
Very good, sir.
It's been one of the most enjoyable evenings
I've ever had, Dr Belfrus.
I'm very glad, Miss Thompson.
Gregoroff wants to see you upstairs
as soon as the house is clear.
Anything wrong?
You're asking me?
You'd better be getting up there.
(yelling)
Come on, we're needed.
I don't want to hurt you anymore, Caldwell.
But, I must have the plans.
Algy.
You'll never learn anything about life through a key hole.
What?
Thanks, old boy.
[Gregoroff] Come along, Caldwell,
what did you do with them?
I destroyed them.
Do you expect me to believe that?
It's the truth, do you think I'd keep plans like that?
Well, he can redraw them.
I won't.
I won't do it.
You hear me?
You can do what you like to me, but I won't.
All right, sweetheart.
You've asked for it.
[Caldwell] Oh!
Do you wanna kill him?
A dead man can't talk.
[Kalinsky] You see, you're getting nowhere this way?
Yeah, but we've got...
What do you suggest?
[Doris] Get him back to Cranloch.
What for?
[Doris] Then we can give him the works
just the way we want.
Perhaps you're right.
You stay here with him, Veight.
Veight, get a car for Miss Thompson.
Get in touch with Kalinsky and tell him,
we're compelled to take Caldwell back to Cranloch,
but don't tell him why, understand?
Sure.
Get him to think the Scots express in the morning
and you go to Cranloch with him.
Who pays the fair?
Kalinsky of course.
Yeah, yeah.
I know those millionaires.
I'll take Caldwell up by car tonight and wait for her.
And don't slip up on this.
I'll attend to everything, including Kalinsky.
All clear.
You're not going in.
Why not?
But there may be a gang of thugs in there.
That's what I'm gonna find out.
You can count me in, old boy.
Nothing doing.
On guard, Algy.
I shout, come in, if I don't stay out.
Good.
(thumping)
(groaning)
Look out!
(glass breaking)
What are you doing here?
Well, you see, it's like this.
If he calls me, I'm to go in.
If he doesn't I'm to stay out.
You'll stay out.
(thumping)
(glass breaking)
(thumping)
Algy!
Meredith, bring in Captain Drummond's Algy.
I don't know how you
and your friend got in here, Mr Drummond,
but you're gonna have a much harder time getting out.
Did you enjoy your ride, Mr Drummond?
Shall we say so long?
Auf Wiedersehen?
Or just good bye?
I'll take that.
Put Caldwell in the car.
Help him, Meredith.
All right, Doctor.
Good night, Mr Drummond.
I'll be seeing you.
I wouldn't be too sure of that.
(laughing)
Sorry, you can't join us, Captain Drummond.
(thumping)
That man's dangerous.
Not now.
My mother said I'd never live to a ripe old age.
Who wants to?
(thumping)
These people do things well.
They certainly do.
My jaw aches.
You exercise it too much.
Peace, like war, needs sacrifice.
No, no killing.
We must kill, Doctor.
For as long as these two men are alive,
there can be no peace.
Now, have you forgotten our cause?
The Key Club?
Our sacred trust.
Don't you realise that these men would ruin our plans?
The secret Caldwell is holding from us must be revealed
for the sake of peace in Europe.
For the peace of the world.
I'd give my life for it.
Then why not theirs?
No, there must be no violence.
But gas isn't violent.
It's slow,
gentle,
quiet.
Look, Doctor, don't you remember
when we tested that last gas formula the club bought?
How quiet everything was in the laboratory
when we came back?
How very quiet?
Huh, Doctor,
huh?
Two.
Alcohol.
Oh, alcohol.
We're in a pretty tight fix, Algy.
It might be worse.
(tweeting)
Stop twittering.
Twittering, I resent that, I never twitter.
well, I'll be.
[Drummond] Budgerigars.
Lovebirds, very fond of necking, aren't they?
They're happy.
At peace.
(tweeting)
That's queer, he's dead.
Poor little fella.
(laughing)
Quiet and peaceful now, isn't it?
I tell you, Doctor, you and I have struck a blow
for peace tonight, that'll resound through history.
Let us hope now, that nothing can hinder the cause.
Absolutely nothing.
Enjoy a good night's sleep, Doctor.
Good night.
I suppose the poor little blighters had
to peg out some time.
Look, another one.
And always from the lowest perch.
(tweeting)
Gas, heavier than air and it's rising steadily like water.
Dear old boy.
(phone ringing)
Hello.
I'm sorry, Dr Belfrus has retired.
Good night.
Every inch airtight.
Tight, tight, who's tight?
What's that?
Cotton waste.
Oh, I know sailors wind it round their big toes.
Cotton.
Were you ever at school?
The best in the country, I've had them all.
Did you ever do stinks?
I say, really old boy.
Oh, you mean chemistry.
Did you ever make gun cotton?
Never made a thing in my life.
Well, you're gonna make some now.
Help me with this.
Get me the nitric acid.
(sniffing)
Hardly my kind of beverage.
What are you doing, writing home?
The action of those two acids
on cotton waste gives us C6H702NO83.
Gun cotton.
Enough to blow our way out of here.
We're in time.
Are we to be present during the fireworks?
[Drummond] We are.
I would prefer to die in one piece.
However.
(door bell ringing)
How's the tide, Algy?
Rising rapidly, old boy.
We may have to finish this job out of our depth.
Pity we can't float on the stuff.
I'm so good at floating.
This will help in a pinch.
And yours old boy?
There's only one.
And you think I'd better use it?
Sure.
You're jolly well mistaken.
Perhaps one of the lady lovebirds will like it.
How do you tell which for which?
If we ever get out of here,
I'll tell you the facts of life.
Oh.
(door bell ringing)
Good evening, governor.
You remember me, Davenport?
Yes.
Well, may I come in?
I'm tired.
Would you be good enough to state your business?
Certainly.
Two of my friends came here this evening
and they haven't returned so I thought
perhaps they might have stayed on.
No, there's no one here.
Mind if I have a look?
[Dr Belfrus] Look, I told you there's no one in the house.
Well, then you won't mind if I have a look 'round do you?
Either you leave the house immediately
or I call the police.
Police, hey?
Yes.
Yes, operator.
Give me the police.
What happens next?
We'll sit and wait for it to dry.
How's the tide?
Great scot, quick, let's save the birdies.
(shuffling)
We'll have to make a split for it.
Keep your head well up, Algy.
I should be all tiptoed in a minute.
Pity I'm not a ballet dancer.
And despite the fact that there is no one here,
this man, Major Grayson, Intelligence department.
If you have nothing to hide,
why not let us search the place?
Sorry, can't do that, sir, we've not search warrant.
I'd welcome a search now that authority is here.
You invite us to search your house?
Well by all means.
Come along.
We've gotta wait a while now.
Let's keep that mask handy.
I'll stand on the counter.
And by the way, in case of accident,
do you mind if I shake your hand?
Not at all.
Are you satisfied now, sir?
[Grayson] Yes.
I demand an apology.
And let me tell you, sir, I resent your attitude,
your interference, your suspicion,
intolerable.
[Grayson] I'm sorry, Doctor, I must've been mistaken.
Well, then you...
But I'm still worried about my friends, Drummond.
Did you say Drummond?
[Grayson] Yes, Captain Drummond.
Have I been looking for Drummond?
Well, that settles it.
Come on.
(coughing)
I don't want to hear anymore, Captain Drummond.
Good night.
(coughing)
(room exploding)
(train running on tracks)
Nice and soothing, sir?
Hmm.
Morning, sir.
This going to be long?
Just finishing.
Too close a shave, sir?
Don't worry, I'm used to it.
I advise you to have a mudpack put on that mug of yours.
Permanently for preference.
Hurry up, Joel.
On the way, madam.
Have you a cigarette?
If anyone had told me I should've enjoyed
this journey to Scotland.
You dislike travelling?
It all depends upon my company.
(singing)
Beer, Charlie.
Yes, sir.
And in flew a dead duck.
Well, good morning.
Mr Kalinsky, this is Captain Drummond.
How do you do?
Very pleased to meet you.
Will you join us in a drink?
No, thank you.
Just lately I've learned to be very careful
about what I drink.
Your beer, sir.
Well, happy landing.
Do you go to Scotland often?
Not as often as I should like.
Grand place, thought I'd slip out for a breath of fresh air.
I need it.
And a shooting?
I may have to do quite a lot of shooting.
I hear the birds are in fine condition.
I've taken every care of it.
Oh, Charlie, my travelling companions.
(tweeting)
They're a honeymoon couple.
So you're a bird fancier, Captain Drummond.
In Scotland it's my firm intention
to kill two birds with one stone.
You're very ambitious.
Well, if you'll excuse me I have a few matters
to attend to.
I hope to see you in a few minutes.
I'll come to your compartment.
[Kalinsky] Keep the change.
An amusing little playmate.
Quite.
Cigarette?
They're quite harmless.
Thanks, just the same.
But I have to be very careful of what I smoke.
There's a gentleman, named Drummond on the train.
Hmm?
Gentleman named Drummond interfered with your plans
once before, I remember.
You must see to it that he doesn't interfere
a third time, Conrad.
What do you suggest?
There's a short tunnel further up the line.
Keep away from Kalinsky, please.
But we've only just met.
Oh, I'm not joking.
Don't try to follow him.
If he asks you to go to his carriage,
don't go, please.
Why this sudden solicitude for my welfare.
Put it down to my conscience anything you like.
But take what I say seriously.
I take you very seriously.
And Kalinsky takes you very seriously.
Well, it's arranged,
but I think it might be safer if we took his gun away
from him first.
You'd better go to the bar and buy yourself a drink.
Smart, governor.
And you'll need this.
My dear girl, nothing on earth could stop me
going to Scotland.
I hope to see quite a lot of you and your friends there.
We shall see.
Quite a lot of each other, I hope.
Watch out for yourself on the train.
Once you're off, I'll fix everything.
Good bye, Hugh.
Let's see those lovebirds, Charlie.
Yes sir.
Pretty little things, aren't they?
Lovebirds give me a pain in the neck, I'm married.
- Gin and mix. - Yes sir.
(tweeting)
Ow!
Funny how these folk dancers seem to be catching on.
(whistling)
You're okay, sir?
You sure nothing can go wrong?
Pete'll deal with him.
Nothing will be heard.
There'll be plenty of noise in the tunnel.
Can he approach without raising suspicion?
You leave it to Pete, he knows his job.
Arrangements are being made.
And we can look forward
to a quiet little holiday at Cranloch.
Look out, here he comes.
Your beer sir.
Give it over here.
Excuse me sir.
Give us his coat, quick!
Hurry up.
May I come in?
Why certainly.
Thank you.
I think there's a tunnel coming.
Only a very short one.
Calton.
It may sound silly, but they make me terribly afraid.
Won't you have a smoke?
Nothing like tobacco for the nerves.
That's right.
Afraid I haven't a match.
Here's the steward.
Oh, steward, give the lady a light please.
Anything else, sir?
Not for the moment, thank you.
What are you reading?
My favourite fiction, crime.
Marches on.
(train siren wailing)
(yelling)
Hey,
hey what's the matter with you?
Help, help.
Help, help, help.
Are you crazy?
(steam blowing)
Hello, hello, hello, another cow on the line.
Hello, she stopped.
That's not usual here is it?
No, sir.
No one's safe with a man like that.
He ought to be shot.
You said it, lady.
I shall have to detain you
until the police meet the train at Edinburgh.
You can charge him there, Miss.
This is disgraceful.
You poor child.
Drummond, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Will you come along, sir?
Certainly.
Now I'll come quietly.
Are you all right?
Yes, yes, I'm all right.
That was neat.
Very clever of you.
Hm?
Getting him off the train.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And to think he goes around with lovebirds.
Looking forward to our stay in Cranloch and you?
Very much.
Sorry we should be so numerous.
First time so many of my assistants will be gathered
in one place.
I've given instructions that will ensure privacy
for you and me.
Everyone enjoys privacy.
Except in prison.
(banging)
Let me out of here.
It's urgent, vital.
You tell that to the court in the morning.
But I've got to get to Cranloch on important business.
(banging)
(doorbell ringing)
Is everyone here?
Everyone.
You've obeyed my last instruction?
Pete's arranged everything.
And Caldwell?
He's upstairs.
All right, we see him first.
Come on.
So, you're Caldwell.
And he's very stubborn.
He's a Scotsman, I think I can make him more reasonable.
Let me try.
I know it's tough, Caldwell.
Think it over, carefully.
They'll wait.
We'll give you ample time.
Miss Thompson knows that I can wait.
I don't care about myself.
You can kill me, but what are you gonna do to my mother?
His mother's here?
We found it advisable to detain Mrs Caldwell
and we occupied Cranloch and took Caldwell away.
Send for her.
Leave me here with him until his mother comes.
You know.
Yes, but look here.
A woman can talk to a woman.
He's our trump card.
If that fails,
he'd do anything rather than...
Rather than see her put to any discomfort.
If I were you, I'd keep an eye
on our good friend, Gregoroff.
Oh?
Why?
Just that.
Nevermind what's happened, Caldwell.
All I want you to know is that you can trust me.
[Caldwell] You know very well that line's dead.
Is there any other way of sending a message?
No.
This way, madam.
Now, listen Mrs Caldwell.
Just a minute
What's the matter?
You're to keep out of this.
I'm to keep...
Kalinsky's orders.
Through you?
Through me.
Thanks.
Say, sweetheart, I just had a little surprise.
Did you tell that girl to give me orders?
I did.
If you'll only do as I ask,
there'll be no more trouble, I promise you.
Just stall for time, I'll take care of the rest.
Looks like things are changing around here.
They are, Gregoroff.
You've bundled this job every inch of the way.
Thanks.
Now she's gonna take over, huh?
Exactly.
So, you fall for her and try and throw me out.
You're getting pretty big, aren't you, Kalinsky?
I'm big enough to give orders.
Well, don't get too big.
He's ready to talk,
and if you don't mind I don't want to be present.
Neither of you have anything to fear.
Make him tell them what they want to know.
I leave them to you.
And don't bundle it this time.
So that was what he was charged with.
Ay, that was it.
Well, I've always heard the air
in Scotland is very bracing
but by Jove.
Hugh.
The sergeant's just been telling me, fie on you, fie.
Are you bailing me out?
There'll be no need for that, Captain Drummond.
The charge has been withdrawn.
What?
You got a car here?
Dear old boy, you don't think I walked.
Come on.
Where to?
Cranloch castle.
Hey, you're forgetting your lovebirds.
Let her go!
I'm afraid we'll need her.
Unless you talk.
Well, are you gonna tell us?
(beeping)
(clicking)
Well, and what happened then?
Well, we trailed him as far as Edinburgh
and then he vanished.
Come in.
There you are.
Cranloch Castle.
The whole lot of them.
Is that the home office?
Give me the emergency department, Scottish division.
And what about Drummond.
Oh, don't worry about him, he can take care of himself.
We're doing 90.
Step on it, old boy, don't loiter.
Good, Doris.
Do you mind?
I'll open a window.
That thing's likely to go off.
Whew.
I got dizzy looking down there.
I thought I was dizzy enough.
In the old days people used to build
their houses high in the mountains
to protect them from their enemies.
Everyone has enemies.
Are you sure you've built your house high enough?
Hm, I think so.
You only have one enemy to fear.
Well, as soon as Caldwell talks,
I shall have no use for Gregoroff.
There's plenty of time.
Here's how.
Time's up, Caldwell, take his mother away.
What are you gonna do to her?
Alec.
Stop, I'll tell you what you want to know.
Yes?
I haven't got any plans.
I destroyed them.
You what?
You see, when I built the plane...
Where is the plane?
Chateau Lafite 1920.
An incomparable wine soft as silk.
Exquisite bouquet.
A wine for lovers.
To the success of our venture.
I'll drink to that.
Listen, Kalinsky.
I shall have to teach you manners one day.
I'm here on business.
Caldwell's come across. - And?
The plane's down the valley of Secret Hanger,
all tuned up and ready to go.
Let's be on our way, you can have your tete-a-tete later.
I give orders, I don't take them.
You'd better remember that, Gregoroff.
I'm gonna learn to dislike you.
Come on, cut the girl and let's go.
Run the car undercover and wait for me there.
If you see the girl,
try and keep everything under control, old boy.
Why don't you get wise to yourself
and stop pushing me around?
You're not important to me.
This girl's kidding you and she's not to be trusted.
I'll ask for your advice when I want it, get out!
You think you can split with her
and cut me out of this racket?
You're crazy! - Get out!
I'm not your dog, Kalinsky,
don't you order me around like one.
I've told you once, I'm not gonna tell you again.
Go on, get out!
Why! (gunshot firing)
Maybe,
I'm not
so tough.
(gun shots firing)
(fumbling)
(yelling)
And now I guess, I'll settle with you.
You've already settled for what I came for.
[Gregoroff] What's that?
Kalinsky and you know it.
The only thing I know is I'm gonna take that plane
and you're coming with me, come on.
Oh, no, I'm not.
Then I guess I'll coax you.
All right, if you wanna stay, stay.
I think you'll find it warm enough.
Where's the key to the hanger?
Give it to him, mother.
Thanks.
Look after him, boys.
Where's the boss?
Taking a rest.
Wait here and keep your eyes skinned.
Sure, governor.
(car engine running)
Where has he gone?
Caldwell's come across.
Gregoroff's gone to the hanger.
Where's the girl?
Look, I'm choking.
Help, help, let me out!
Get up.
Take me to the hanger and keep your hands well up.
(yelling)
The whole place is alight.
You seen the girl?
Good, God, in the room beyond.
(banging)
(fire crackling)
Where's Kalinsky?
Gone.
He took the jump.
That's what I should've let you do.
You poor sap.
But you're awfully nice.
I wanted to keep you out of this.
Catch these birds myself.
But I'm so glad you came anyway.
(aeroplane engine starting)
Stand clear.
But where do I come in all this?
Go back and ask Kalinsky.
(aeroplane engine running)
It's Gregoroff.
Then he wins.
He can't win, he can't win.
There's still one thing I haven't told you.
Come on, quick.
You take care of his mother.
(aeroplane engine roaring)
What the devil is this?
This is the really secret of my invention.
Then the aeroplane just to bluff.
I'll use that third spin tactically.
When I tell you, throw it in.
Bring it down?
I'm gonna crash it once I can get the range.
(air plane engine roaring)
(beeping)
Now! (banging)
(engine stopping)
(yelling)
(crashing)
(fire crackling)
Well, Larry, looks as though your invention's gonna be
a great success.
It was quite a simple idea really.
Don't be so secretive about the next one.
Or you'll be getting very unpopular with my department.
And what may I ask is your department?
Oh.
In that case I have to doubly congratulate you.
But I shall be very sorry to lose
such a brilliant and charming officer.
Thank you.
(laughing)
Where to, Captain?
London, important business.
Hey, Algy!
Don't tell me, don't tell me.
For once I'm ahead of you.
I bought you a wedding present.
(mellow music)
