Three Faces East (1930) ERIC VON STROHEIM🍕 CONSTANCE BENNETT🍕 ESPIONAGE THRILLER

Added: 2026-05-23

[00:00:02]Friday at Pizza Flicks.

[00:00:09]At the height of the silent era, Eric Monstroheim earned a reputation as a brilliant but notoriously obsessive director whose enormous ambitions and even larger ego derailed his career. No longer trusted behind the camera, he reinvented himself as an actor, becoming the man audiences love to hate. Tonight, he brings that trademark menace and intensity opposite the sophisticated and glamorous Constant Bennett in a World War I espionage thriller filled with deception, undercover agents, and international intrigue.

[00:01:16]Heat. Heat.

[00:02:24]No, there That's what Majesty Hulu, what did it cost to capture this useless sector?

[00:03:24]>> Our loss is my heavy, sir. I imagine between 1,500 and 2,000 men.

[00:03:29]>> But why should I sacrifice 2,000 of my men for the intelligence department? I believe they wanted prisoners, sir. We have got them. Good prisoners.

[00:03:38]>> Good prisoners. There are no good prisoners. They eat too much and take up too much room.

[00:03:43]>> But sir, these talk. They've told us already a great deal. But there's one amongst them that refuses to talk.

[00:03:49]>> They will talk. I will make them talk.

[00:03:52]What are they have got to talk? I have lost 2,000 men for nothing.

[00:03:58]Lieutenant, quick, bring him in there.

[00:04:02]Professor Miracle of Miracles.

[00:04:18]A woman and a woman who will not talk.

[00:04:23]Ryan, come here.

[00:04:30]I warn you. It is my duty to make you talk for under any circumstances. And >> it is my duty to remain silent, sir, under all circumstances.

[00:04:39]>> Well, we have ways of making you open your mouth. Very effective ways.

[00:04:44]>> I am trying to explain, sir. I cannot speak. I am very sorry. But >> sorry, what? What do I care? I have lost men. My men, German men, 1,500 of them.

[00:04:58]And for whom? For >> for a woman. For me. Operator Z1 of the German Imperial Intelligence Service.

[00:05:07]>> You of the intelligence service.

[00:05:11]Impossible.

[00:05:11]>> That general is very easily verified.

[00:05:14]>> Of course. Most certainly, Floyd, if it happens to be the truth. But General, the compliments from his excellency Fon Hindenburg. A communication from general headquarters to operate as EW.

[00:05:27]>> We shall retire.

[00:05:35]>> I suppose you have been successful, Farland.

[00:05:38]>> Oh yes, successful beyond your most hopeful dreams.

[00:05:41]>> Splendid.

[00:05:42]>> I've made many new contacts. Contacts which reach far beyond the lines. It'll be of great use to me sometime soon.

[00:05:49]>> You are magnificent.

[00:05:51]Now, Farland The fatherland has chosen you for a most important task. A task more important than anything you have so far undertaken.

[00:06:01]>> I am honored, General Veta, and ready.

[00:06:09]>> I have been directed to read to you the following instructions from AOK, General Feed Marshall from Hindenburg.

[00:06:17]Excellence.

[00:06:21]Operator Z1 will leave immediately for Villain Hart. Navy plane W367 will bring operator Z1 luggage and necessary equipment to submarine U56, now at C6° east longitude and 58° north latitude.

[00:06:37]Submarine U56 with operator Z1 luggage and equipment will proceed from above mentioned position to a point on Swedish coast contained on Naval Order 389 to the commander of submarine U56.

[00:06:49]Upon landing, operator X12 will deliver to operator Z1 all necessary instructions and provide passage to England. Operator Z1 will travel immediately to London to the home of Sir Winston Chamberlain, first sea lord of the British apparati.

[00:07:06]Do you understand?

[00:07:08]>> Perfectly.

[00:07:16]>> Will that be all, Colonel?

[00:07:18]>> No.

[00:07:20]>> Now, the proposition is this. The son of the first [ __ ] of the British admirery, Sir Robert Chamberlain, died seven months ago while a prisoner in our camp.

[00:07:34]Brea collected and preserved carefully all his belongings, realizing that such an opportunity should not be sacrificed.

[00:07:40]Bele knew that someday it would serve a purpose.

[00:07:45]And that day has come.

[00:07:46]>> And nobody else knows of the boy's death.

[00:07:48]>> A sacred and silent few. His death has been guarded like a secret of state.

[00:07:54]>> And his belongings are to be my visiting guard.

[00:07:56]>> Exactly.

[00:07:57]>> I take it that I was also in turn of the same prison camp with him.

[00:08:00]>> Splendid deduction.

[00:08:01]>> And fell desperately in low.

[00:08:03]Desperately, most desperately, and that bound will be the tie that should knit you to his mother, Lady Chamberlain.

[00:08:10]>> I see. And after I have won the lady's confidence, I am to betray her.

[00:08:14]>> I suppose you can call it that, Filine.

[00:08:18]After all, this is war.

[00:08:22]These are the boys thing. You realize, of course, the importance of safeguarding them.

[00:08:28]>> Yes, thank you. I suppose the rest is simple. All I have to do is to present my calling card and I'm entertained at tea by the first seaord of the British Admiral team. Since when did Blecker make the head of the British Navy one of our operators?

[00:08:45]>> Not yet, but if the war holds out much longer, he will. Marvelous brain that Blecker, have you ever met him?

[00:08:57]>> No, I haven't, but I'd like to. He's aroused my interest.

[00:09:00]>> Permanent interest. Oh, hardly that.

[00:09:03]He's more legend than man. One never sees him.

[00:09:05]>> Very few.

[00:09:06]>> Will I work with him?

[00:09:07]>> No. Under him. Nobody works with Lea.

[00:09:11]You'll work with Schiller who will communicate with you in England.

[00:09:14]>> I see. And to contact Schiller, the peril will be >> three faces east, >> forwards and backwards.

[00:09:20]>> Right.

[00:09:21]>> Very well.

[00:09:22]>> Uh, just one moment. I have a surprise for you, >> gentlemen. Will you please step in again?

[00:09:34]Um, get us some uh champagne or something for all of us.

[00:09:45]General, I'm about to bestow upon operator Z1 a distinction covered by many, but achieved by sacred few. His majesty the Kaiser has seen fit to honor. Operator C1 for distinguished service rendered the emperor of the fatherland.

[00:10:01]I have the honor to be the bearer of a token of his majesty's most sincere appreciation for your hand.

[00:10:18]I drink from this to you and to your success.

[00:10:28]And I drink to Bleer.

[00:10:59]Johnson Hotry.

[00:11:02]>> My dear, do you know anyone by that name?

[00:11:04]>> Hot?

[00:11:07]>> No, I can't say I do. In fact, I've never even heard of her.

[00:11:12]What's she like? A very charming lady.

[00:11:17]Looks rather sad, if I may say so.

[00:11:24]>> Show her in.

[00:11:26]>> My dear, I suppose if Boulder had said she was ugly, you'd have sent her straight back to town.

[00:11:34]>> If you'll excuse us, Lady Chamberlain, we'll go into the library.

[00:11:41]>> Will you come in, Miss Hartry?

[00:11:52]Miss Francis Hotry, >> how do you do, Miss Hotrick? How do you do, sir Winston? Miss Hotrick, how do you do, Sir Winston? Won't you sit down, please?

[00:12:04]>> Thank you. I understand you wish to speak to me. Yes, and to Sir Winston also.

[00:12:12]I feel sure you think it's very strange my asking to see you like this. I'm a nurse in the army nurse corp and I've just escaped from the German prison hospital at Weisen.

[00:12:25]My my mission is a very difficult one.

[00:12:31]I don't know just how to begin, but I feel that I've known you both for some time. You see, I've heard so much about you.

[00:12:41]>> Yes.

[00:12:43]It It's about your son, Captain Robert.

[00:12:49]And what of him?

[00:12:51]>> He was a prisoner in the same hospital with me and wounded.

[00:12:58]Severely wounded.

[00:13:01]>> You mean?

[00:13:02]>> Come, come, my dear. Please, please sit down.

[00:13:06]Oh, what is it? Tell me.

[00:13:10]Is he Is he?

[00:13:17]>> Yes.

[00:13:21]>> Come, come, my dear. You must be brave.

[00:13:28]Draw the krakens. Open the windows.

[00:13:33]Sweep the floor. Lock them. in the carpet in both rooms, of course.

[00:13:39]That's the furniture.

[00:13:41]And I mean dusted.

[00:13:50]Fresh linen on the bed, scrub the tub, fresh towers and rugs in the bath.

[00:13:56]>> And uh perfume the bed >> and hurry.

[00:14:03]>> Is Mr. Robert coming in.

[00:14:06]>> A good servant never asks questions.

[00:14:11]>> Well, if it's not Mr. Robert, might I make so bold as to ask who's coming?

[00:14:17]>> Hello. Hello.

[00:14:19]>> Are we long yourself?

[00:14:20]>> Say, I bet it's a lady. Of course it is.

[00:14:24]He wouldn't be making so much fuss if it wasn't the old Azy chaser.

[00:14:28]>> And his last request was that I bring these things to you.

[00:14:33]We are proud of him, Winston, aren't we?

[00:14:36]>> Indeed. Yes. And proud of you, too, Catherine.

[00:14:40]>> It's something to feel that those we have loved took their leave courageously.

[00:14:45]>> Oh, I know just how you feel. You see, I loved him, too.

[00:14:57]>> Her ladyship is very particular about these roses, sir.

[00:15:05]Do you think her lady ship will approve of your cutting them, sir?

[00:15:18]Is there a guest arriving, sir?

[00:15:25]I take it it's a lady.

[00:16:07]Are >> you going to stand there all day long?

[00:16:08]>> No, sir.

[00:16:09]>> Well, put it down and get out.

[00:16:10]>> Very good, sir.

[00:16:13]>> Have you two finished?

[00:16:14]>> Yes, we finished.

[00:16:16]>> Well, then don't stand about and gate.

[00:16:17]There's plenty of other work to be done in the house.

[00:16:21]>> Well, whoever's coming, I hope they're satisfied.

[00:16:28]>> Well, I have a lady ship's own special roses. H. Somebody's got a lot of cheek.

[00:16:36]Unless it's the queen herself. What's coming?

[00:19:52]But you're not thinking of going now.

[00:19:54]>> Oh, I think it best. I've done what I promised Robert to. And >> I counted on your staying. It would be so hard on both of us. Please let me go.

[00:20:03]>> There's so many things I want to talk to you about. Things that you will understand. Things that we should say to each other. about Robert.

[00:20:13]>> You make it almost impossible for me to refuse. Lady Chamberlain, >> then you will stay. I'm glad.

[00:20:24]>> General Hlet, may I present Miss Hoffrey?

[00:20:27]>> Miss Hot, >> how do you do, >> Mr. Yates? Miss Hot or Valdar?

[00:20:34]>> Valda, Miss Hotry will be our guest.

[00:20:38]Please arrange for her. Yes, me lady.

[00:20:42]I have taken it for granted that Miss Hartry would stay at least overnight. So I took it upon myself to open the late Captain Rabbit suite. Everything is ready. I also took the liberty of discharging Madmoiselle's cab and carrying for her luggage.

[00:20:58]>> Thank you, Valdo. That was right. Come, my dear. Let me show you to your room.

[00:21:07]Of course, we overheard everything. I am awfully sorry, Sir Winston.

[00:21:21]Why the frown man?

[00:21:23]>> General, do you believe her story?

[00:21:25]>> Do I believe her? How can I doubt her?

[00:21:28]>> She has Robert's most intimate belongings and knows all the most intimate details.

[00:21:33]>> She was sent here for a purpose and a pretty bad story. They gave her to get in with.

[00:21:38]>> Oh, not such a bad story. She got in.

[00:21:40]You notice >> by Jo? You're right.

[00:21:42]>> You know, Yates, you surprise me that you don't suspect the chauffeur, the cook, or Valdar.

[00:21:48]>> As a matter of fact, I do suspect Valdar. There's been a leakage. Oh, we all know. I just can't trust him.

[00:21:57]He's German, isn't he?

[00:21:59]>> Yes. Makes no secret of his German ancestry, but he is Belgian. served in the Belgian army and was decorated for bravery.

[00:22:07]>> My dear Yates, there are hundreds like him in London.

[00:22:10]>> Do you think that all the foreigners in England vanished when the war started?

[00:22:14]>> Not into cabinet officers' homes. They didn't.

[00:22:17]>> What about that fellow creps who was executed this morning? He was a butler in Lord Carrington's house. And didn't you tell me that your own housekeeper is a German?

[00:22:27]>> Oh, but I've known her for years.

[00:22:29]>> Well, has been with us for quite some time. And by the way, wasn't it you who recommended him to me, General? Quite correct.

[00:22:37]>> The general doesn't recommend. He orders.

[00:22:42]>> See, I must be going. I have an appointment. But I'll drop back later, Sir Winston. Thank you.

[00:22:49]>> Well, thanks, fellow.

[00:23:01]Elder, do you believe that girl's story?

[00:23:08]It translated, sir. Then keep an eye on her.

[00:23:13]>> Yes.

[00:23:17]>> But really, I feel like an intruder.

[00:23:19]>> Oh, don't say that, my dear. He would have loved to have had you come here and join us.

[00:23:29]That's Arthur. He's three years younger.

[00:23:33]Robert told you of him, I suppose.

[00:23:35]>> Uh, yes. Yes, he spoke of him often.

[00:23:38]>> They were very deeply attached to each other, more than most brothers, I think.

[00:23:43]Now he's all we have left. But he's coming home. We'll be so glad to have him. He's been wounded.

[00:23:49]>> Wounded? Wounded where?

[00:23:51]>> Oh, just in the shoulder, I think.

[00:23:52]>> No, no. I mean, what place? What part of the line?

[00:23:54]>> I don't really know. You see, they are not allowed to give the names of the towns and their letters. I'll leave you now, dear, because you must be very tired.

[00:24:04]>> Yes, I am rather. I'll have Vow call you when dinner is ready.

[00:24:08]>> All right. Thank you.

[00:25:35]Hello, Valdar.

[00:25:38]>> She killed Gran to be home again.

[00:25:41]>> We're glad to see you, sir.

[00:25:42]>> Well, how are you anyway?

[00:25:44]>> Fine, sir.

[00:25:44]>> Good.

[00:25:52]I'm sorry, sir. I hope the wound's not serious.

[00:25:56]>> No, nothing serious, but a good excuse to get home again for a bit.

[00:26:00]>> I see.

[00:26:03]>> Arthur. Arthur.

[00:26:05]>> Mater. Darling, >> I'm so glad you're home.

[00:26:09]>> And so am I.

[00:26:11]>> Hello, governor.

[00:26:11]>> Hello, son.

[00:26:12]>> And your wounds, are they serious?

[00:26:15]>> Oh, no, Mater. Why? My my shoulders a bit sore, but there's nothing to worry about.

[00:26:19]>> I'm glad.

[00:26:20]>> Oh, come now. Tell me all about yourself.

[00:26:34]I made her.

[00:26:44]What's wrong?

[00:26:57]Is it Is it Robert?

[00:27:15]Miss Hotry, >> come. Come, Catherine. We're neglecting our guests.

[00:27:22]Miss Hotry, this is Robert's brother, Arthur.

[00:27:25]>> How do you do, Captain?

[00:27:26]>> How do you do, >> Arthur? My boy. Delighted to see you and looking so fit, too.

[00:27:30]>> Hello, Arthur. It's nice to have you back home again.

[00:27:33]>> Thank you so much.

[00:27:34]>> My job is looking fit, isn't he?

[00:27:37]>> I say, uh, haven't I seen you before?

[00:27:40]>> Oh, no, I think not.

[00:27:42]>> No, really. Your face is familiar.

[00:27:44]Yes. Went your to field hospital at Dwville a week ago.

[00:27:48]>> No, I've been interned for the past two months in a German prison hospital.

[00:27:52]>> But I'm sure I saw you.

[00:27:53]>> Arthur, you must be mistaken.

[00:27:56]>> But it must be. You look like her.

[00:27:58]You're the image of her.

[00:27:59]>> Of whom?

[00:28:00]>> Of a nurse in a field hospital.

[00:28:02]>> I was a nurse, too.

[00:28:03]>> Fancy. That is extraordinary.

[00:28:06]>> Well, I hope you'll forgive me. But you see, I was sure I'd recognize her anywhere at any time.

[00:28:13]She did something most men wouldn't have had pluck enough for.

[00:28:16]>> But what did she do?

[00:28:17]>> Oh, we had to retreat under a terrific drum fire. And she insisted on staying behind with some wounded. Wouldn't desert them.

[00:28:23]>> Stranded.

[00:28:24]>> What happened to her?

[00:28:25]>> I don't know. They took me back to the base hospital that night. And a little later, the enemy captured the town.

[00:28:30]>> I wonder if she was captured.

[00:28:34]>> Dinner is served. Madame, >> may I have the pleasure?

[00:28:41]I do hope you won't think I was rude about that, but really the resemblance is extraordinary.

[00:28:56]>> Come in.

[00:30:28]is everything as Madmoiselle wishes.

[00:30:30]>> Yes, thank you. Valda, >> if Madmoiselle should need anything else, Madmoiselle need only push the bell by the desk.

[00:30:38]>> Thank you. I shall.

[00:30:42]>> Oddalda.

[00:30:43]Yes, madam. Sir, >> tell me, do those two windows face the east?

[00:30:57]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:30:58]>> There are other windows in the sitting room, are there not?

[00:31:00]>> Uh, yes, Magma. One.

[00:31:02]>> Making three facing east.

[00:31:04]>> No, Magma. To be exact, four. There's one in the back beyond.

[00:31:08]>> Well, only the three that face east interest me.

[00:31:12]I like to catch the light of the rising sun and say a prayer I once heard. It goes something like this. I have three faces. One of mockery, one of hypocrisy, and one molded in thy purity. They look not to the north, nor to the south, >> neither to the west, but for the east.

[00:31:34]Take them, O Allah.

[00:31:37]>> How did you know how to finish that prayer?

[00:31:43]I have lived in the east. It's a prayer to Allah one hears every morning sung from every minret.

[00:31:51]>> You seem to have traveled extensively.

[00:31:54]>> Yes, madam Michelle I have. Will that be all?

[00:32:00]>> Yes.

[00:32:04]>> Sure.

[00:32:12]I may find Magma Var not sure.

[00:32:18]>> Very well then. Valda, how do those three faces east travel?

[00:32:27]>> I'm sorry, Madmoisel. I I don't seem to understand.

[00:32:31]>> I mean, according to the Quran.

[00:32:36]>> Oh.

[00:32:37]East and west. Then they go more slowly forwards and backwards.

[00:32:45]>> It took a long time, Shilla.

[00:32:51]>> I knew you'd been here before.

[00:32:53]>> That reminds me. I have something that belongs to you.

[00:32:58]>> Thanks.

[00:33:00]>> You better reload your gun. One never knows.

[00:33:20]Why were you so evasive?

[00:33:24]>> To test your ability.

[00:33:26]>> And have I passed?

[00:33:28]>> With honors.

[00:33:30]There's only one thing >> and that is >> you are too beautiful.

[00:33:36]>> Thank you.

[00:33:38]>> A beautiful woman has but one loyalty.

[00:33:41]>> That's interesting.

[00:33:43]>> And being forever conscious of her beauty, she remains faithful to it above everything.

[00:33:48]And that I've always counted a danger.

[00:33:51]>> Well, I shall try and make what you call danger a virtue.

[00:33:59]Now that we understand each other, when will I meet Blecker?

[00:34:04]>> Blecker?

[00:34:06]Why should you want to meet Blecker?

[00:34:08]>> Well, I was told I would work for him.

[00:34:10]>> You're working for me under me? Sure.

[00:34:12]You understand? David with Blecker.

[00:34:15]>> You don't like him?

[00:34:16]>> Like him? Who does?

[00:34:18]>> By everyone who's ever heard of him. I, for one, by the mere mention of his name thrills me.

[00:34:23]>> He's a machine. is the personification of duty above everything is without conscience, without heart, without soul.

[00:34:34]He just assumed CU face the firing squad is not if it served his purpose.

[00:34:41]>> Well, perhaps I'm slightly sentimental, but when I was a little girl, I always dreamed of seeing the pyramids or the Great Wall of China. Oh, I can't explain it all. But somehow Blecker has become something like that to me.

[00:35:00]Very good, Miss Auty. I shall bring some coffee and some cake. I won't be but a moment.

[00:35:10]I beg your pardon.

[00:35:15]I didn't know this was your room, Miss Horty.

[00:35:18]I was just passing. I I heard Valdo's voice.

[00:35:22]I've mislaid my pipe. I thought perhaps Belda might have seen it. Have you, Belda?

[00:35:29]>> No, sir. But I recall Mr. Yates smoking his pipe in the library.

[00:35:32]>> Really?

[00:35:33]>> Yes, sir.

[00:35:35]>> Silly of me to lose it. I've looked everywhere.

[00:35:39]Can't sleep without my night smoke.

[00:35:42]>> I shall look for it, sir. I'm bringing Missy some coffee and a bite to eat.

[00:35:46]Perhaps Mr. Yates would like to have something, too.

[00:35:49]>> Oh, no, no, thanks. Nothing to eat. But if you should find my pipe, will you fetch it to me? Very good, sir. Thank you.

[00:35:58]I hope you will forgive my intruding, but I'm sure you understand.

[00:36:02]>> Oh, yes. Quite.

[00:36:04]>> Thank you, >> Cheerio.

[00:36:06]>> Good night.

[00:36:08]>> Pleasant dream.

[00:36:09]>> Thank you.

[00:36:44]My pipe. Well, this is a surprise.

[00:36:49]Where was it?

[00:36:50]>> Right on the table in the library where Mr. Yates must have left it.

[00:36:53]>> Really?

[00:36:53]>> Yes, sir.

[00:36:55]>> Valder, you are priceless.

[00:36:58]>> Thank you, sir. Good night, sir. Good night.

[00:37:15]Now then, tell me, Schiller, what am I supposed to do >> now? Since we must work in harmony, it is most essential that you understand the situation. The crisis of this war has come.

[00:37:39]On the western front, France, England, and the Belgians are hammering in vain against the Hindenburg line.

[00:37:50]Austria holds her own against Italy, Serbia, Romania, Montenegro.

[00:37:56]Russia, the one enemy country with unlimited manpower besides America, is in the throws of revolution. Kinsky is already willing to conclude a separate peace. With Russia out, we can transfer within 4 days 80 divisions from the eastern to the western front.

[00:38:15]The allies know that their morale is going fast. They are blood white. One concentrated onslaught and the war is over. Germany will be victorious.

[00:38:29]Unless the United States succeed in landing reinforcements before we have the chance to crash through in the west. If they succeed in doing this, we are lost.

[00:38:43]The very sight of these Americans, green and untrried as they may be in actual warfare, would raise the dying spirit and morale of France and England to unknown heights and reduce Germany's power of resistance to heaven only knows what. It would act exactly like a blood transfusion.

[00:39:03]Therefore, this influx of these fresh red blood corpses into the depleted veins of our foe must be prevented at all costs. And by all means, >> I understand.

[00:39:15]>> I have information that America's first division comprising 24,000 men waits for sailing orders in New York. When they actually will sail and when and where they will arrive is kept, of course, most secret.

[00:39:28]We can't prevent their sailing. We can't prevent their landing if they ever get that far. But >> you mean you're going to try and sink the transports our route?

[00:39:39]>> Exactly. Except that I don't try. I will.

[00:39:43]Our you boats are lying just off the British coast waiting for the word. Not one American will survive. Then Germany will be victorious.

[00:39:56]But we must know exactly when these transports leave and all the detailed information as to their convoys and their port of destination.

[00:40:06]Now, Sir Winston, as the first sea lord of the British Admiral T receives, of course, daily the most detailed information about everything, including the most secret moves.

[00:40:16]>> Yes, I understand.

[00:40:19]>> While he's recuperating from his recent illness, the Admiral T sends these informations to him daily in a padlocked sealed briefcase.

[00:40:31]The contents, after they are read, are locked into Sir Winston's safe in the library downstairs.

[00:40:38]Now, your duty is to open that safe each night and read each document until you find exactly what I want. That's all.

[00:40:49]The combination of the safe is left and right. 6 10 11 3 2 1.

[00:40:55]>> Left and right.

[00:40:56]>> Don't write that down.

[00:40:58]>> I'm sorry. I forgot.

[00:41:00]>> Don't forget. Don't ever forget.

[00:41:16]>> Any word yet?

[00:41:17]>> Nothing yet, sir.

[00:41:17]>> Well, stand by and call me when you got something.

[00:41:20]>> Yes.

[00:41:24]>> Well, how are you today? Fine, sir.

[00:41:27]Thanks. And uh how is Sir Winston today?

[00:41:29]Greatly improved, sir. I think Sir Winston will be able to go out in a few days.

[00:41:33]>> That's good. Be sure that he gets this immediately. Very well, sir.

[00:41:38]>> Uh good news, sir. Uh yes, I think so.

[00:41:41]Things are looking much brighter. That's fine. Well, well, now I'll see you again, sir.

[00:42:27]But I'm telling you, they they haven't arrived as yet.

[00:42:31]>> They're here now, sir. Winston.

[00:42:32]>> Oh, they've just come.

[00:42:34]>> Well, Valdar, what's the British Navy done to justify itself today?

[00:42:40]>> I can't say, sir. I I haven't read the contents as yet.

[00:42:46]He hasn't read the contents yet, sir.

[00:43:08]>> Yes, sir. Winston, >> thank you.

[00:43:30]My Joe, that's great.

[00:43:34]>> This is news.

[00:43:36]>> Yes, sir.

[00:43:44]>> I think we'd better lock this up.

[00:43:49]Thank you.

[00:44:56]Thunder, what are you after? I heard some strange noises, sir. Did Mr. Yates hear anything?

[00:45:05]>> Nothing at all.

[00:45:06]>> I did, sir, quite often lately. Seems to come from seems to come from the sun room. Oh, let's have a look.

[00:45:45]Velder, let me have your gun.

[00:46:31]We must have been mistaken, brother. You see, there's nobody about.

[00:46:34]>> I'm sorry, sir. I'm positive I heard something in here. Let's have a look elsewhere.

[00:47:02]What you do that for?

[00:47:05]I'm sorry, sir. I'm unusually nervous.

[00:47:18]I heard someone in this room. Turn on those lights. Yes, sir.

[00:47:40]Evidently a woman.

[00:47:51]I wonder if it was she.

[00:47:56]You watch her room. Yes, sir. And uh I'll get Sir Winston. Very good, sir.

[00:48:28]Quick, give them to me. Be on your guard. Yates is coming up to question you.

[00:48:37]Miss Hot, will you please open the door?

[00:48:48]Miss Hot, I am sorry to disturb you like this, but it's most important.

[00:48:57]>> Good heavens, what's happened? What's the matter?

[00:48:59]>> Miss Hoffrey, I I'm sorry to disturb you like this.

[00:49:02]>> Miss Hoffrey, were you in the library a few moments ago?

[00:49:05]>> I in the library? Of course not.

[00:49:07]>> There you are, Yates. What did I tell you?

[00:49:09]>> Pardon me, but I have reason to know that you were there not 5 minutes ago.

[00:49:13]>> 5 minutes ago in the library? Oh, 5 minutes ago I was right in that bed.

[00:49:18]What could I could anybody want in the library at this time?

[00:49:20]>> Town Gates, I I think we've made a mistake. I'm very very sorry to have interrupted you like this, and I I apologize.

[00:49:28]>> Well, it's quite all right, so Winston.

[00:49:29]Mistakes happen in the best of families.

[00:49:31]>> Just a moment. Can you explain this bracelet that I found near the safe in the library?

[00:49:35]>> No, I I can't, but it's it's beautiful, and if an explanation can make it, my I'll find one.

[00:49:41]>> I suppose you never saw it before. No, I haven't. Why? Why? It's German, isn't it?

[00:49:46]>> Quite. And it has the German Imperial monologue.

[00:49:50]>> I beg your pardon. It is mine.

[00:49:52]>> Your bracelet, Valer?

[00:49:53]>> Yes, sir Winston. I must have dropped it out of my Westuit pocket when I arranged the library tonight.

[00:49:57]>> Elder, what does this mean?

[00:49:59]>> It can only mean one thing.

[00:50:00]>> I'm sorry, Mr. Yates, to disappoint you, but it is a souvenir of the war, like this iron cross I carry as a watch fob.

[00:50:08]I took both from a Prussian officer. Uh, it's a little tight and the clasp doesn't hold. I couldn't very well complain about the misfit as I had already killed the owner. But that's why I carried sort of a luck charm.

[00:50:26]>> I say that's rich. It's one on you, Yates.

[00:50:28]>> Come, come, Yates. This has gone far enough. It's time we were all in bed.

[00:50:32]Very well, sir. Good night, Miss Hot.

[00:50:34]>> Good night, sir. Winston.

[00:50:35]>> Good night, Miss Hutry.

[00:50:36]>> Good night, Mr. Yates.

[00:50:41]I say, Miss Hortry, please don't be worried or upset about all this. You see, Yates was certain he heard someone in the library, so he had to investigate. You understand?

[00:50:50]>> Yes, but it's awfully nice of you to take the trouble to explain.

[00:50:53]>> Oh, I don't call it trouble. It's a pleasure. Good night.

[00:50:57]>> Good night.

[00:50:59]>> Odd.

[00:51:00]>> Yes, Madmoiselle.

[00:51:02]>> Will you light the fire in the next room, please?

[00:51:04]>> Very good, Madam Michelle.

[00:51:11]General Hulet Yates.

[00:51:14]>> Well, what is it?

[00:51:15]>> I have positive proof that Belda, the butler, is an enemy agent.

[00:51:19]>> What makes you think so?

[00:51:21]>> I confronted him with a bracelet with a Kaiser's monogram. He gave me some cockenbull story about having found it on a dead Prussian officer. I'm going to place him under arrest at once.

[00:51:32]Well, you just forced me to divulge a secret that I was trying to keep from you. Valdar is an undercover man for the British Secret Service.

[00:51:41]>> What?

[00:51:49]>> Well, here's your bracelet. Good night.

[00:51:53]>> You seem angry.

[00:51:55]>> Yes, if you're curious enough to know. I hate inefficiency.

[00:51:59]>> Inefficiency? Yes. On a most important mission, you lost the one thing that could have sent you before the firing squad.

[00:52:05]>> And would you have cared?

[00:52:07]>> This is not the time nor place to discuss personalities and emotions.

[00:52:11]>> No, Shell, your crew.

[00:52:14]>> Then I shall be kinder. And I shall tell you that your eyes are blue like the waters of the Mediterranean, and that your hands are white like alabaster, that your fingers taper, that your hair is like fine spun gold, that your body is life and supper like that of a young tigress. You like that better?

[00:52:30]>> You're a coward.

[00:52:32]>> What do you mean?

[00:52:33]>> I mean that you're in love with me and afraid to admit it.

[00:52:36]>> How can I help it? Yes, I'm conscious of your sex. You've deliberately made me so. After all, I'm only flesh and blood.

[00:52:44]But I refuse to be ruled by you or by any other woman. You're taking orders from me. Sure. You understand?

[00:52:51]>> Sorry.

[00:52:52]>> Leica should have known better than to send me a woman as good looking as you.

[00:52:56]Instead of helping me, you made things more difficult and aroused their suspicion. In short, you failed.

[00:53:01]>> I failed. But I haven't. I have the information that you want.

[00:53:05]>> Didn't you tell me before?

[00:53:06]>> You didn't give me the chance.

[00:53:08]>> Well, what is it?

[00:53:09]>> The first contingent of American troop transposes already left New York Harbor.

[00:53:12]They're now on the high seas.

[00:53:14]>> The details. Number of men.

[00:53:16]>> 15,032 with full equipment. The first division under the command of Major General Cybert.

[00:53:20]>> Number of transports.

[00:53:22]>> 17.

[00:53:22]>> Names: >> Pandora, Saratoga, Hera. convoys.

[00:53:26]>> 13 destroyers, four cruisers, and two converted yachts.

[00:53:28]>> How did they sail?

[00:53:29]>> In four groups, two hours apart consecutively.

[00:53:33]>> Destination: >> Liverpool via the north coast of Ireland.

[00:53:40]>> Where are you going now? To Bleer.

[00:53:42]>> Yes, to Blecker.

[00:55:07]Captain, XAV calling Well, is he here?

[00:56:03]>> Yes.

[00:56:13]Now, you remember what I told you. You run, we follow. Her rooms are on the left wing of the house.

[00:56:23]Well, I still think it's a beastly unfair trick, and I wish I hadn't been a party to it. Oh, >> but you're not going back on me now. You gave me your word of honor. I know my suspicions are correct.

[00:56:32]>> Well, I wish I hadn't. I think we've bothered the girl quite enough as it is.

[00:56:34]>> Oh, please. Now, you're sure you understand?

[00:56:37]>> Yes, sir.

[00:56:37]>> Are you ready?

[00:56:38]>> Yes, sir.

[00:56:38]>> Right. Run.

[00:57:13]Please, miss, let me hide. Please.

[00:57:16]>> Who are you?

[00:57:17]>> They're after me. They kill me. Who? Who kill you? What for?

[00:57:21]>> I'm one of Blecker's men. They're after me.

[00:57:23]>> Blacker? Who's Blecker?

[00:57:25]>> You know, you know. There's no time.

[00:57:27]Quick, where can I go?

[00:57:33]>> Miss Francis, will you please open the door?

[00:57:41]Open the door quickly, please.

[00:57:50]Pardon me. We caught a man snooping about the library. He broke away and headed for the garden.

[00:57:55]>> We spotted him on the balcony. He must have come in here, >> didn't he?

[00:58:00]Didn't you see him?

[00:58:02]>> Do I act as though I had?

[00:58:03]>> Didn't you see anybody?

[00:58:05]>> I heard a lot of shooting. But who is the man? What has he done?

[00:58:08]>> Well, he's You tell her yet.

[00:58:11]>> He's a German agent, one of Blecker's men.

[00:58:14]>> Who really spies again? It's practically derby day for you, isn't it, Mr. Yates?

[00:58:19]You find spies everywhere.

[00:58:26]>> Well, I suppose that's all. You better be going, Ed, >> right?

[00:58:33]>> Sorry to have disturbed you again.

[00:58:34]>> Oh, that's quite all right. I'm getting used to it now.

[00:58:39]Oh, Mr. gates.

[00:58:43]>> I should think an old spy hunter like yourself would at least insist upon looking in the closet.

[00:58:49]>> In the closet? There you are. Yates, she's got him.

[00:58:56]>> Well, you'll need the key.

[00:58:58]>> Oh, thanks.

[00:59:05]>> Cut, come out.

[00:59:08]I knew we'd get you sooner or later.

[00:59:11]>> Why did you give me up? You You could have saved me. They'd never have known you belong yet.

[00:59:18]>> I thought for the moment you were mixed up in this. Evidently, I was wrong.

[00:59:22]>> All is forgiven, but really you're the most absurdly suspicious man I've ever met.

[00:59:26]>> Get along.

[00:59:32]Remember, I'll get even. Go on. Go on.

[01:00:02]Look here. I do wish you'd tell me the truth.

[01:00:05]>> The truth? The truth about what?

[01:00:07]>> Well, I hate to mention it again, but I know I've seen you before. Now, please, what are you doing here?

[01:00:13]>> Just what do you mean?

[01:00:16]>> You never knew my brother, Robert. You never even saw him. Now, why'd you pretend you did?

[01:00:21]>> That's not a very nice thing to say. Do you think it was very nice of you to make father and mother believe that Robert was in love with you? To go on pretending it when all the time you've got his things all around you?

[01:00:31]>> Please don't.

[01:00:33]>> You see, there's something even father and mother don't know. Robert was married.

[01:00:38]>> Married?

[01:00:38]>> Yes. To a typist in London. He was mad about her, but she wouldn't let him reveal their marriage until after the war. And he made me swear not to.

[01:00:46]>> Oh, but I don't see how all this concerns me.

[01:00:49]>> Don't you understand? I've got to tell them now. It's only fair to her.

[01:00:52]Robert's gone. She's got no one to look after her. Happy to tell. And I can't without >> without making a liar of me. Is that it?

[01:01:01]>> Yes.

[01:01:03]>> Very well, then. I'll be truthful with you. I'll tell you something. Something you must promise never to repeat.

[01:01:11]>> I promise.

[01:01:12]>> I'm an agent. A British agent.

[01:01:16]Even Yates doesn't know that. That's how we must work.

[01:01:20]>> Oh, I thought it was something like that. Yes, but what are you doing here?

[01:01:25]>> Oh, I've told you all I can. You must trust me.

[01:01:32]>> You probably won't believe me, but ever since that first time I saw you in Dwville, I've thought of you many times.

[01:01:40]>> That's sweet of you, Arthur.

[01:01:41]>> Oh, please. You needn't treat me quite like that. Sweet is harder the word, is it? You don't know how I thought of you.

[01:01:50]Yes, but Arthur, we we mustn't talk about that now.

[01:01:54]>> All I know is that since I first saw you, I haven't been able to think of another woman.

[01:01:59]>> You can laugh at me if you like, but I love you.

[01:02:03]>> I'm not laughing, Arthur, dear. But we mustn't speak of this now. Some other time.

[01:02:10]>> Very well.

[01:02:12]But some other time, I won't give up so easily.

[01:02:22]Good night.

[01:02:23]>> Good night.

[01:02:57]Why so surprised?

[01:02:58]>> I've seen you at this time.

[01:03:02]>> Could I have chosen a more appropriate moment?

[01:03:04]>> Ears dropping.

[01:03:06]>> Our closed door is our worst enemy these days.

[01:03:10]>> And did you believe what you heard?

[01:03:13]Why not?

[01:03:14]>> What do you propose to do?

[01:03:16]>> What would you do if I had betrayed you?

[01:03:20]>> I would kill you. Is that what you propose doing?

[01:03:24]>> Possibly.

[01:03:26]>> Of course. You realize that at this moment I need but call out and your life and cause would be lost.

[01:03:32]>> In that case, I would resort to this.

[01:03:35]>> Surely you're ridiculous. But more than that, you're jealous. Just because a silly boy is infatuated with me.

[01:03:42]>> Infatuated?

[01:03:43]>> Yes. He recognized me as a nurse that he saw in Wville, laboring under the stress of heavy fire. It appealed to his dramatic sense, and he's in love with a heroine. Oh well, think what you like.

[01:03:53]But what was I to do but lie to him and tell him I was a member of the British Secret Service?

[01:03:57]>> I'm not talking about that. But you do love that boy.

[01:04:02]>> What interest is that of yours? I'm still faithful to our cause. You cannot love two things at the same time and be faithful to both.

[01:04:10]>> Shilla, you love me. All the little things you do prove it. So stop pretending.

[01:04:17]>> Pretending?

[01:04:18]>> Yes. Pretending that you've lost all human qualities. That war and duty have absorbed all your finer emotions.

[01:04:27]>> It's simply to see it hasn't absorbed yours.

[01:04:29]>> No. Thank heaven.

[01:04:30]>> You still can love.

[01:04:31]>> Yes, but not a boy.

[01:04:34]>> Don't lie. You love that boy.

[01:04:45]>> You You who are supposed to know all about human beings presume to guess their innermost thoughts and desires.

[01:04:52]Why you're blind?

[01:04:55]>> Yes. And the things he said to you and the things I saw.

[01:04:58]>> What do his babblings mean to you?

[01:05:02]>> Nothing.

[01:05:04]Nothing at all.

[01:05:06]What do I care what you do? What do I care whom you love?

[01:05:11]I'm not thinking of that.

[01:05:14]I'm thinking of my duty. And I'm thinking of you.

[01:05:26]Of me.

[01:05:58]Turn on those lights.

[01:06:04]Somebody's been in this room. That open window proves it. You have a look outside. See if you can see anyone.

[01:06:18]Nothing's been touched. Everything is just as I left them.

[01:06:21]>> Possibly somebody scared them away before they got what they were after. By the way, where's Valda?

[01:06:26]>> I have no idea.

[01:06:27]>> I'm going to have a look around.

[01:06:31]>> Stop, Francis. Stop.

[01:06:32]>> What are you doing here?

[01:06:33]>> That's for me to ask. Where are you going in such a hurry?

[01:06:35]>> Oh, I'VE TOLD YOU ALL I CAN. YOU MUST trust me and keep out of this. So, you're still a British agent, I suppose.

[01:06:41]>> Oh, you shouldn't have done that.

[01:06:44]>> What are you doing here?

[01:06:46]>> Oh, something dreadful has happened.

[01:06:47]I've had to find you.

[01:06:48]>> Well, what is it?

[01:06:49]>> The route of the transports has been changed.

[01:06:51]>> Changed? I That's impossible. What do you mean?

[01:06:54]>> Well, it's true. They've been changed.

[01:06:55]They're not going to Liverpool. They're going to San France.

[01:06:58]>> You realize what you're saying? Are you sure?

[01:07:02]>> Yes. Yes. I read the last dispatch that arrived at 7:00 this evening.

[01:07:07]Stand this air.

[01:07:11]>> So Winston, I've searched the entire house. Valdder and that girl are missing. I swear they know something about this.

[01:07:17]>> General Hulet say that Valdar belong to the British intelligence.

[01:07:20]>> Yes, but my deductions are these. Valder was placed here by General Hulet in good faith. But Valdder is a member of the German intelligence staff. Those decorations and his service in the Belgian army served as a clever ruse to avoid suspicion and gain him admission into your house as a trusted servant.

[01:07:46]Well, Francis, we've won.

[01:07:49]In 24 hours, they'll be selling X's in the streets. Germany victorious. In 5 minutes, we'll be out of here. There's a car waiting down the road to take us to London. Then Ireland. I have arranged a plane. Then U53.

[01:08:05]And then Veland again.

[01:08:09]Berlin.

[01:08:12]You and I.

[01:08:14]Our honeymoon in the Black Forest.

[01:08:18]I've always dreamed of it ever since I was a little boy.

[01:08:33]But you said Blecker would be here.

[01:08:34]Where is he?

[01:08:38]>> He is here.

[01:08:41]I am Blecker.

[01:08:43]>> You Blecker.

[01:08:45]It isn't true. I can't believe it.

[01:08:50]>> But it is true.

[01:08:52]Would anyone but Blacker have such authority?

[01:08:56]>> What do you mean?

[01:08:58]>> In a few moments, I will be in direct communication with our Ubot. They will obey Blecker's orders without question.

[01:09:08]My words, >> what's the matter with you? Are you crazy?

[01:09:24]>> What does this mean?

[01:09:25]>> It means that I arrest you, Bleer.

[01:09:29]>> You arrest me? What are you talking about?

[01:09:31]>> Put up your hands.

[01:09:37]Stand away from that wireless.

[01:09:40]All that you heard me say to Arthur is true. I am a British agent assigned to get Blea to get you.

[01:09:51]>> Oh, you you cheat.

[01:09:55]You rock cheat.

[01:09:57]>> Doesn't make any difference what you call me now, Bla. Our little game is over and you've lost.

[01:10:03]>> Since you cast yourself for the part of Judas, act it out.

[01:10:08]>> You send that message, I'll kill you.

[01:10:09]>> Go ahead. Shoot.

[01:10:34]I'm sorry, Bleera. Terribly sorry.

[01:10:44]That's right.

[01:10:47]Francis, I'd have done this same thing to you.

[01:10:57]>> It was splendid, Francis, and I congratulate you.

[01:11:00]>> Thank you. There was only one time I nearly slipped. I could hardly keep from laughing when they introduced me to you, General.

[01:11:08]>> Oh, yes. I remember that quite well. I say, wasn't that about the most difficult assignment you ever had?

[01:11:13]>> No, on the contrary. There was Count Tevier in Paris. He was difficult. And Sikowski in Russia. Oh, a horrible creature. To say nothing of Betto in Rome. He was a handsome devil. No, there have been any number more difficult than Blesser.

[01:11:29]>> I say, Francis, you got to hurry up.

[01:11:31]Your boat leaves in half an hour.

[01:11:33]>> Yes, that's right.

[01:11:35]Sweden, Stockholm, the Imperial Hotel. It's been a long time since I've been there.

[01:11:44]What did you say this man's name was, General?

[01:11:47]>> Dr. Paul Swenson.

[01:11:50]>> Dr. Paul Spencson.

[01:11:53]>> And before you go, a toast.

[01:11:56]>> Splendid. Thanks.

[01:12:00]>> Thanks. We drink to you and to your success.

[01:12:05]>> To you.

[01:12:06]>> And I drink to Dr. Paul Spencson.
