应该指出，议会通过了
关于国内安全的政策
乔治爵士
约翰逊博士曾经说过
爱国贼是卑鄙者的最后护身符
假如这话没有错，站在你们面前的就是这样的人 If this is true, you see before you a villain.
赤裸裸的，而且厚颜无耻 Unmasked and unashamed.
只是对我来说 Except that with me,
爱国主义不是卑鄙者的护身符 patriotism is not a refuge,
而是令人自豪的旗帜 it is a proud vantage point on which I take my stand.
爱国主义不仅是最后的护身符 And certainly it was never last,
而且一直都是 but always,
在担任国会议员的25年里 throughout my 25 years as a member of Parliament,
我一直把爱国主义放在第一位 always first.
它是至高无上、义无反顾的、至关重要的 My first priority, my first endeavor, my first proud duty.
数百年来，国家经受住了外敌威胁 This nation of ours has withstood the shock of foreign arms for many centuries.
但今日我们面临的是 But today we face a subtler
比外敌入侵更有威胁的小人 and potentially much more dangerous enemy.
大家过于自满 I'm referring to our complacency,
并且太容易放弃了！ our permissiveness, and our all too frequent eagerness
我们的价值观、三观 to surrender those values
为了这些信念，很多先烈牺牲了 which many men gave their lives to preserve.
朋友们，我们必须斗争到底！ We must fight, my friends,
跟企图破坏英国生活方式的不法分子 we must fight all those who seek to undermine
斗争到底，绝不手软； the quality of our British way of life,
不管是街上的持枪歹徒 whether they be gunmen in the streets,
还是国外的敌对势力 whether they be subversive elements from foreign lands
甚至是 or whether they be
混迹于我们中间的奸细 weak-kneed men in our own high places.
你好 里尔登先生 - Good day. - Mr. Rearden.
他正在等你 He's expecting you.
请往里面走 Go straight in.
-麦金托什 -里尔登 - Mackintosh. - Hello, Rearden.
史密斯夫人，倒杯水 Bring in some tea, would you, Mrs. Smith?
坐办公室的人习惯喝茶 People who work in offices drink tea all the time.
-史密斯夫人？ -是自己人 - Mrs. Smith? - She's in the know.
-坐灰机舒服不？ -还行 - How was the flight? - Not bad.
好！ Good.
等她端茶进来我们再说 I think we'll wait until the girl brings in the tea before we start.
好的 All right.
-你喉咙没有事撒？ -挺好 - How's your accent? - It's all right.
还算可以，哥们 Fair dinkum, cobber.
想要我唱华尔兹么？ Would you like me to sing Waltzing Matilda?
告诉我 Tell me,
钻石最显著的特征是什么？ what is the most outstanding property of the diamond?
-再说一次 -钻石的特征； - Come again? - The diamond.
钻石恒久远，一颗永流传！ It's forever.
应该是它的尺寸 The size.
可以把价值10万英镑的钻石 You could put diamonds worth 拢100,000
放在稍大于钻石体积的包裹里 into a package hardly big enough
写上地址邮寄出去 to write an address and leave room for a stamp.
他们在邮件中夹带钻石 You mean they send diamonds in the mail?
此事天天有 Every day.
保险公司很信任邮政 The insurance companies have great trust in the GPO.
我们曾派出特工 Used to have couriers,
但是被那些人识破了 but the couriers got to be known by the wide boys.
双方发生冲突，还有伤亡 There were a number of beatings-up and a few deaths.
另外，是人就贪心 Another thing was that, humans being but human,
特工也贪污受贿 couriers could be corrupted.
总之，特工系统由于种种原因漏洞百出 Anyway, the courier system fell through for a number of reasons.
那现行的体系是怎样的？ But what about the present system?
一旦钻石进入邮政物流程序 Once a parcel is swallowed up in the maw of the post office,
没有人能够再找出来 not even God can extract it. And why?
因为那只是通过邮件夹带的钻石之一 Because it is just one of millions of parcels that are passing through the mails.
-明白了？ -知道了 - Do you follow me? - Sure. So far.
邮寄出去的钻石有各种规格形状 The stones are sent in all sizes and shapes of parcel.
包裹也有千奇百怪的标注方式 The parcels are labeled in a multitude of ways.
以扰乱视听，混过检查 Anything to confuse the issue.
关键是邮件收件地千变万化 The most important thing is the anonymity of the destination.
他们大多用临时地址 There are a number of accommodation addresses,
那些接收钻石的地址 having nothing to do with the diamond industry,
无关于钻石制造商 to which the stones are sent.
每个地址只使用一次 And the same address is never used twice running.
有点意思 Very interesting.
比如某个邮递员走在大街上 Take a postman, walking up the street.
看起来没有异常 Not an unusual sight.
但是他身上带着10万英镑的钻石 He's carrying say, 拢100,000 worth of diamonds.
他却不知道，其他人也不知道 But he doesn't know it and nor does anyone else.
甚至收钻石的也不知道 Not even the recipient.
而且没有指定任何投递时间 As there's no guarantee of delivery at any specific time.
现在我知道钻石邮寄的时间 Now, I know when a parcel of diamonds is being sent.
而且知道钻石包裹 I know the packaging and it's unmistakable,
还知道收件临时地址 and I know the accommodation address.
并且在那个地方同一层楼租了间办公室 I've rented an office on the same floor...
-你好 -下午好 - Good day. - Afternoon, sir.
这是机票和护照 Your ticket and passport.
把密码记好了 You have to write your number in words.
密码10365. The number is 10365.
密码写在专用支票上，可以代替签名 This number, written on the right check form in place of a signature,
报销上限4万英镑 will release to you any amount of money up to 拢40,000 sterling.
或者等额的其他货币 Or its equivalent in any currency you wish.
里尔登，麦金托什跟我提起过你 I know a good deal about you, Mr. Rearden, from Mackintosh.
说你是最好的特工 He said you are the best.
真是不可思议，老麦一向守口如瓶 That's surprising, he's very close-mouthed.
他信任我 He trusts me.
祝你好运 Good luck.
-想让姐留下来么？ -哥欢迎 - Would you like me to stay? - Sure. I'd be delighted.
这是姐分内之事 That's the least I can do.
-你在可怜哥? -不. - You mean, just an act of mercy? - No.
那样说让姐显得庄重些 I said that to seem less wanton.
行了 Okay.
里尔登 Rearden.
你好 Hi.
有我的信么？我就在里面上班 Anything in there for me? I work inside.
我看一看，你叫什么？ I'll have a look, sir. What's the name?
不必了 No need for that.
-谁？ -找里尔登 - Yes? - Mr. Rearden?
-你是约瑟夫.里尔登？ -是滴 - Are you Joseph Rearden? - That's right.
我们是警察！ We're police officers.
希望你能够配合 We hope you can assist us with our enquiries.
我不明白 I don't see how.
我刚从悉尼来伦敦 I'm a stranger in London. Just got in from Sydney.
这我们知道；里尔登，我们要进来 We know all that, Mr. Rearden. May we come in?
这是侦查员杰维斯 我是布鲁斯奇尔 This is Detective Sergeant Jervis and my name is Brunskill.
谁让你坐了？ Well, why don't you sit down?
我们要问今早... We're making some enquiries about the theft of a package
皮革市场的邮政包裹抢劫案 from a postman in Leather Lane this morning.
里尔登，能够告诉我们具体情况么？ What can you tell us about it, Mr. Rearden?
我什么也不知道 Nothing.
-我说了，刚到这里 -说吧，里尔登 - Like I told you, I'm a stranger. - Come, Mr. Rearden.
-你继续 -好的 - You can do better than that. - All right.
你们教我怎么说呢 You tell me what I'm supposed to have done
我跟着你们说 and I'll tell you whether I did it.
你的指关节怎么受伤的？ How did you scrape your knuckles?
昨晚喝高了，拳头打在灯柱上 Shadow boxing a lamppost. I got a little pissed last night.
不介意我们搜查你房间撒 You won't mind if we search your room, Rearden?
介意 Yeah, I do mind.
-除非你们有《搜查令》 -我们准备了的 - Unless you got a warrant. - I think you'll find this in order.
你们会一无所获 You won't find anything.
不管是不是你做的 Whether he does or not,
你都得跟我“走一趟”！ I must ask you to come along to the police station.
那你们必须先逮捕我 You'll have to arrest me first.
很好，里尔登 Very well, Mr. Rearden, I arrest you on suspicion
现在你因为涉嫌在皮革市场 袭击邮递员而被捕 of assaulting a postman in Leather Lane
案发时间9:30 . at about 9:30 this morning.
-这样满意了？ -先让我搜一下 - Does that satisfy you? - It'll do for starters.
怎么了，里尔登，有些紧张？ What's the matter, Rearden? Nervous?
-还好 -你应该紧张的 - Not really. - Well, you ought to be.
邮递员伤得很重，你下手太狠 The postman's in a bad way. You hit him too hard.
-或许有生命危险 -神马邮递员？ - He may hand in his chips. - Which postman?
我就知道你会装傻；我知道你心思 I knew you'd say that. I'm psychic.
现在医术很发达 We have treatment for that nowadays.
里尔登，那些钻石哪里去了？ What did you do with the diamonds, Rearden?
你既然知道我心思， 我想说啥你也知道 Since you're psychic, you know what I'm gonna say.
你会装傻：“神马钻石”，对不？ You're gonna say, "Which diamonds?" Right?
是滴 Right.
哥讨厌你，里尔登，你是个大骗子 I don't like you, Rearden. You're a bloody crook.
我想单独审你10分钟 I'd like to get you alone, all to myself, for about 10 minutes.
我和里尔登一见如故，警官先生 We've been having a wonderful time together, Inspector. Rearden and me.
可以说气氛很融洽 Lots of jokes and laughing.
可惜我没有幽默感 My trouble is, I got no sense of humor.
但我是骗子的克星， 我喜欢证据确凿 But I'm an absolute bugger for files. I love specific information.
你太谦虚了，里尔登 取得如此成功却这么谦虚！ Now, you've been shy, Rearden. I mean, shy about your achievements.
在哥面前你不必谦虚 You don't have to be like that anymore with me.
从国际刑警组织调来你的档案 I've got your record here from Interpol.
指纹、照片，还有逸闻趣事 Fingerprints, mug shots, lots of juicy gossip.
放下报纸！ I should put that paper down.
逸闻趣事真的不少 One conviction, that's the lot.
你明天乘灰机去瑞士干神马？ Why were you flying to Switzerland tomorrow?
去玩 Because I'm a tourist.
这是你第一次来英国，是不？ It's your first time in England, too, isn't it?
哥讨厌这样，哥要律师 Look, I'm getting sick of this. I want my solicitor.
-有合适的律师不？ -请致电586-7595 - Anyone particular in mind? - Yeah. Call 586-7595.
亚瑟先生 Mr. Usher.
一个在英国呆了不到7天的游客 A tourist in England for less than a week
居然会自己请英国的律师？ and he's got his bloody solicitor ready and fixed?
而且还是私人律师 And the right solicitor, too.
里尔登，请问你小时候 When you were a little boy, Rearden,
理想中的职业是什么？ what did you want to be when you grew up?
警察 A walloper.
当警察！ A policeman.
你当不了警察... But you couldn't make it,
所以退而求其次，去当匪了； so you became the next best thing, a thief.
里尔登，快点招供钻石下落！ Come on, Rearden. Tell us about the diamonds.
如你所说，不过事实正好相反 Well, it's just like you said it was, only it's the other way around.
我就是那个邮递员！ I'm the postman.
那个所谓的邮递员，抢劫了我 The guy you think is the postman, he clipped me,
抢走了钻石，换了衣服 took the diamonds and changed clothes.
他才是要抓的人； 开玩笑 He's the one you want, sport.
我不必马上告诉你，除非你是自己人 I'd have told you straight off, except he's me brother.
法院认为此案很蹊跷， 博伊德先生 It may seem strange to the court, Mr. Boyd,
竟然有傻B用快递邮寄14万英镑的钻石 to send 拢140,000 worth of diamonds through the post.
-这很正常 -确实不正常 - Is that unusual? - Not really.
保险公司信任邮政 The insurance companies regard the GPO quite highly.
这是从统计学的概率来讲 It's a matter of statistics.
只有很少的钻石包裹会寄丢了 Very few parcels are lost.
你们公司如何处理皮革市场劫案？ How would your firm account for the robbery in Leather Lane?
很明显 Quite simply.
罪犯知道内部信息 The thief had inside information.
谢谢，博伊德先生 Thank you, Mr. Boyd.
-请你发问，罗林先生 -法官大人 - Cross examination, Mr. Rollins. - As your Lordship pleases.
事发之时毫无预兆 他趁我不备 Well, he had an advantage over me. I mean, he took me by surprise.
我当时手足无措 I wasn't expecting it.
否则我不会如此狼狈 我可以反击的 Otherwise, I'd have got him for sure. I really would've clobbered him.
伯纳，我想你有还手的能力 I'm quite sure that you would have, Mr. Bugner.
现在言归正传 Now, let us return to this point.
你确定是他袭击了你？ You have no doubts that the man who assaulted you
就是被告席上的约瑟夫.里尔登？ is the man seated there, in the dock, Joseph Rearden?
没错就是他！烧成灰我都认识！ That's him, all right. No mistake about that.
我问完了，法官大人 No more questions, my Lord.
接到举报后，我和侦查员杰维斯 Acting on information received, I went with Detective Sergeant Jervis
到里尔登下榻的旅馆调查 to see Rearden at his hotel.
然后呢？ And what happened then?
他当时语焉不详，所以我们逮捕了他 His answers to my questions were such that I arrested him
因为涉嫌抢劫而被逮捕 on suspicion of having been connected with this crime.
然后呢？ And then?
警察先生，能否回忆一下？ Now, Inspector, may I take you back?
你说“接到举报” You said, "Acting on information received."
你是如何得到举报的 How did this information come to you?
-有人致电我？ -谁? - There was a telephone call. - From whom?
警察先生，是匿名电话么？ Inspector, could it possibly have been anonymous?
是的 Yes.
这就是你的证据！一个匿名电话？！！ You call that evidence! A goddamn phony phone call!
保持肃静！ Silence in court!
-此事一开始就是冤假错案！ -肃静! - The whole thing's been rigged! - You will be silent, sir!
-那个邮递员在撒谎！ -请肃静! - That postman's a lying bastard! - You will be silent!
快制止他! Restrain that man!
-坐下 -哥站着挺好！ - Sit down. - Look, I stood up all right.
我自己会坐，是吧 I guess I can sit down, all right?
如果再扰乱法庭秩序 Any further disturbance,
你会被驱逐出庭 直到安静下来为止 from the proceedings until you can control yourself.
又有人要坐牢了 The prisoner will rise.
约瑟夫.里尔登 Joseph Rearden.
你因抢劫14万英镑的钻石 You have been found guilty of stealing by force
而被判入狱！ a packet of diamonds valued at 拢140,000.
按照法律规定，你犯抢劫罪 In the normal course of events, such a crime as yours, a crime of violence,
应当判刑14年以上！ would be punished by the heavy sentence of 14 years imprisonment.

让哥过过瘾？ How about it, stretch?
N年前姐就不做这了 I'm afraid I stopped being a woman several years ago.
-那就叫别人 -不行，不能这 - Get someone else. - No, that's not possible.
-为啥不行？ -安全起见 - Why not? - Security, obviously.
我不会跟她说话 I don't have to talk to her.
就算不说话，这女的也能见到你 Well, even if she did not speak, she would see you.
可以套个袋子在其头上 Put a bag over her head.
但你会见到她 But you would see her.
给哥也整个头套， 哥憋了15个月了 Put a bag over my head. I've been in prison for 15 months.
貌似你还得再憋1周时间 I'm afraid you will have to control those desires for another week or so.
有没有报纸？ 这要求合理撒？ Well, how about a newspaper? Or is that asking too much?
我们给你买《伦敦时报》 The London Times will be brought to you.
-你的洗澡水弄好了，里尔登先生； -谢谢 - Your bath is drawn, Mr. Rearden. - Thank you.

报纸把你放在头条 Put your name in the headlines
却把老子放在不起眼的角落 and don't mention me till the second paragraph.
卖国贼应该放在最显著的位置 Yes, I'm afraid patriotic criminals always get top billing.
钻石、国家机密，二者有何区别？ 我们都是罪犯 Diamonds, secrets. What's the difference? We're both thieves.
等一下 Oh, quite, quite.
好几天了 A couple of days.

很多用石头建成的墙壁 A lot of rock walls.
可能是南斯拉夫或者希腊 Could be Yugoslavia, Greece.
-或者是科茨沃尔德（英国西南角） -这里离海边不远 - Or the Cotswolds? - No, it's near the sea.
-你咋知道离海很近？ -哥闻的 - How do you know it's near the sea? - I can smell it.
好了 Well,
貌似要多呆几天， 才能上路 seems we're in here for a week and then on to our destinations.
-至少你知道要去哪里； -我要回家 - At least, you know where you're going. - Yes, I'm going home.

你真令人费解，斯莱德特工 I don't know about you, Slade.
我还不想死，剩下的酒我喝了 I'm not ready for death. The rest I'll drink to.
里尔登 Mr. Rearden!
你已经穿戴整齐了，很好 布朗先生要见你； You are dressed, good. Mr. Brown would like to see you.
-布朗不是真名撒？ -当然是真名 - Mr. Brown? Not really. - Of course not.
里尔登，请进！ Rearden! Good. Come in.
-貌似你精神不错，自己来吧 -谢谢 - You're looking fit. Help yourself. - Thank you.

-你还差1.5万英镑 -是滴 - You owe us 拢15,000. - That's right.
像上次那样， 我从同一家银行收到了支票 I've obtained a check from the same Swiss bank as before.
我的判断是对的 I trust my presumption was correct.
你的银行账号？ Your account number?
应该还记得撒？ You haven't forgotten it, I trust?
难说... Hardly. Just...
我还要在这里呆一周，整整1周 致电苏黎世银行 I understand I'm going to be here a week. Why a whole week? Phone Zurich.
他们能告诉你支票真伪 They can tell you whether that check's good or not.
最好用现金 We prefer having cash in hand.
这不仅是钱的问题，里尔登 And it isn't entirely a question of the money, Mr. Rearden.
留在这里是要等最佳时机， 这是对你负责啊 It really is to your advantage to remain here while the dust settles.
什么时候才是最佳时机？ And when it has?

为啥？ 因为这样是双赢的 Why? Because it's good business.
You are by no means the first, and you certainly won't be the last
to pass through our hands.
That a spy,
who has penetrated the innermost secrets of the British government,
along with a spectacularly successful jewel thief,
should break out of a high security prison in broad daylight,
bespeaks an inconceivable laxity on the part of
those whose responsibilities cover these areas.
I therefore propose, Mr. Speaker, that a further investigation
be undertaken into the penal institutions of our country,
and into the men involved in their administration.
Hear! Hear!
Mr. Tomasett.
Does the Home Secretary realize that his last reply is totally inadequate?
It is just not good enough to leave it at this.
"That it is within the competence of a general enquiry."
There are two quite separate issues here.
The first...
- Good to see you, Angus. - George.
Is it important?
I've got a question coming up in a few minutes.
Yes, it is.
- Thank you. - We should be all right in here.
George,
I'm going to break security with you on one of our operations.
That's not like you, Angus.
I'm attempting to save you from possible embarrassment,
after the way you've been hammering at the government.
But my greatest pleasure in life is to hammer at the government,
if I think they're being careless or irresponsible.
I assume we are talking about the Slade affair?
Precisely.
Well, if I were later to discover that the Home Secretary
had actually instructed the Governor of Chelmsford jail
to give Slade a leg-up over the wall,
I suppose I might be mildly embarrassed.
- Are you telling me that's what happened? - No, no.
But he'll not make it home.
We've penetrated the organization that ran the escape.
Slade will either be brought back, or killed.
Within the week the network should be blown.
- And if your agent fails? - He won't fail.
We run very tight security.
Only he and I know, and now you, George.
I've always admired your ingenuity.
Now I'm equally impressed by your loyalty.
I'm only trying to help you, George.
You know, a certain few of us over at Whitehall
see you as one of the last responsible voices left in the Commons.
We'd hate to see this matter cloud your career.
You might end up looking rather a fool.
Cloud my career?
We don't want that to happen. No, no.
Pity.
It was a beautifully phrased question.
Mr. Brown would like to see you, Mr. Slade.
Check.
- What's up? - I'm packing Mr. Slade.
We're moving on?
My instructions were only to pack for Mr. Slade.
- Well, what about me? - I don't know, Mr. Rearden.
What the hell?
How dare you kick my dog, you reprobate!
I cannot abide cruelty to dumb animals. You shall be taught a lesson.
And while you get it, let's hear your real name.
Joseph Rearden.
What the hell is going on? Take your hands off me!
- Where're you from? - You know bloody well where I'm from.
Queensland, 1967.
- Who was the oldest lag? - Whitey Reitman.
- Have a cell mate? - Yeah, Danny Logan.
- Who are you? - Joseph Rearden.
- What was Logan in for? - Armed robbery.
- Who are you? - Joseph Rearden.
How many executions during your cut?
Three.
- What's your real name? - Joseph Rearden.
Come on.
Turn around.
Say it.
- Fire! - Louder.
Fire!
After him, Gunner! Get him!
Gunner! Gunner!
Gunner!
Gunner! Gunner, where are you?
Gunner!
Sir!
- Jesus Christ. - Do you speak English?
- Yes. What were you speaking? - Gaelic.
Gaelic.
Wonderful country, Ireland.
I'd like to call London, please.
What number do you want?
01-237-9960.
The line to London is engaged. I'll call you back.
I'm in a pay phone.
You would be. It's the only phone in Roundstone.
Hang up, now. I'll call you back.
Here.
Here. Here's half a quid.
Here's another one.
You get me in there when that phone rings, okay?
...to stand there and watch her go up.
Ardfrye.
First she's burned down in the Troubles, Mr. Brown restores it,
now she's just a shell again. It makes you think.
Pitiful it was, pitiful! Him standing there calling for the dog.
"Gunner! Gunner!" Pitiful!
- Burned to death? - Aye.
What started it? That's what I'd like to know.
Sure, nobody knows.
But the Castle is bound to investigate him. You may be sure about that.
I've always found Mr. Brown a very decent man,
and he was a great Garda.
- Be sorely missed. - Aye.
I said to him, says I,
"It's a great shame, all your fine things gone up in smoke, like that."
He had antiques, oil paintings, the like.
He said it could have been worse, no one was hurt.
- Can you beat that? - Aye.
Maybe he'll build her up again.
Maybe, but from the look of him, all shriveled like, I wouldn't think so.
Stricken, he was.
- What do you think he will do? - The poor man doesn't know.
Miss Gerda and Mr. Taafe helped him into the car
and the three of them just drove off.
- Mrs. Smith? - Yes.
- It's Rearden. I'm in Ireland. - Where in Ireland?
Let me speak to Mackintosh.
- No, you can't talk to him. - Why not?
He was hit by a car. He is in hospital.
- Is it bad? - Yes. Serious.
Christ! Who do I talk to?
- You can talk to me. - All right. Listen.
A place called Ardfrye House burned down last night.
Near Roundstone. Owned by a man named Brown.
Masquerading as a country squire or something.
There's a photograph of him attending a local flower show, or something.
He knows he's in trouble, so he's on the run.
- Where is Slade? - I wish I knew.
Disappeared into thin air.
Left no forwarding address.
There is an airstrip outside Galway Town, Oranmore.
I'll be there in five hours from now.
- The Artina's coming. - The Artina! The Artina's coming!
Ahoy, Artina!
- Is that you, O'Donovan? - Now, who else?
Sir George wishes to buy all his good friends a drink.
Good man yourself, Sir George.
Whatever they'll have from this moment
till we weigh anchor is on me!
Your obedient servant, sir!
And let no man in Roundstone go thirsty.
Three cheers for Sir George.
- Hip, hip! - Hooray!
- Excuse me. - Do you listen to them?
Cheering that bloody Englishman, and for what?
For a round of free drinks.
Sir George, you'd think he was God Almighty.
- Who might Sir George be? - Sir George Wheeler.
- A politician? - I haven't a clue.
All I know is, he's rich, he's English,
and he comes to Roundstone for the fishing.
Where can I rent a car around here?
You must be joking.
There's no car hire in Roundstone.
I'll take anything with an engine and wheels. Pay in advance.
I could ask the brother-in-law.
What happened?
I'd hoped you would have the answer to that.
- You had a beating? - Yeah. Took a hell of a beating.
Somebody put the finger on me. Who?
No one else knew anything, except Mackintosh and me.
All right.
You know better than I do, it could not have been him.
- So? - It wasn't me.
I only have your word on that.
You suspect me, Mr. Rearden?
- Then, why am I here? - I'm working on the answer.
To kill you, perhaps? Assuming I'm a double agent.
Yet another passport for you.
This time you are a Canadian, a rancher.
What do we do now?
Nothing. Slade's gone.
I was supposed to kill him rather than let him get away,
but they were on to me before I had a chance.
I'm glad in a way, I kind of liked Slade.
Is Brown the only hope of tracing him? What about the others?
They're a couple of half-baked hooligans out there, beating the bogs,
but they wouldn't know anything.
- How's Mackintosh? - He's still in a coma.
Oh, Christ! It'll take weeks to clear me.
Unless he dies.
There is a letter. He always writes one.
It's to be given to the Prime Minister in case of his death.
- Well, who's got it? - His solicitor.
Well, get it. Tell him it's an emergency.
An act of Parliament couldn't open that envelope before he dies.
Fly to London. Smother Mackintosh with his pillow.
No, I wouldn't do that. He's my father.
Everything was working for us until yesterday.
Then things began to happen, bad things.
Slade, you, Mackintosh. Last night was no accident.
None of it was.
What did he do yesterday?
He was in the garden all morning.
We lunched. Then he went into town.
- He had one appointment. - With who?
That stupid ass, George Wheeler.
Wheeler!
- Slade's on that boat. - What boat?
Get in.
- What's Wheeler like? - Never met him.
Well, what do you know about him?
Good family. Inherited wealth. Extreme reactionary.
Mackintosh has known him for years, casually.
- How? - Cambridge, the army during the war.
What was he?
He was a major in the Special Air Service.
He was parachuted into Yugoslavia in 1942.
Fought with them for two years.
Excellent war record.
Hold on. They are going to Malta.
It's been announced in the press.
Wheeler is going to review the British forces there.
Directly to Malta? No ports of call?
Hello. Are there any stops on the way?
He said no.
Thank you.
Do you think they intend to rendezvous with a Russian trawler?
Not with ship's company looking on. No, Malta's perfect.
They can put Slade ashore and make a switch there. Come on.
Do you always drive like this?
Only when we're being followed.
- Wheeler's a spy. - And I am Pharaoh's daughter.
Mackintosh knew he was a spy, except he had no proof.
Look, he broke his own security. That was no slip. It was intentional.
It was a deliberate act to create this situation,
and everything's going according to plan.
Slade and I were the bait.
Wheeler took it and he's running with it.
All that remains now, is for Mackintosh to set the hook,
horse him in.
But he can't do it, 'cause he's in a coma.
The one thing he couldn't foresee.
But we have no proof. Just your suppositions.
No. Conclusions.
When the Artina docks at Valletta, I'll prove them.
Now, let's see how good they really are.
Do you think they can swim, Mr. Rearden?
I hardly think that matters, Mrs. Smith.
"One of the brightest occasions of this winter season will take place tomorrow,
"aboard Sir George Wheeler's yacht, the Artina.
"Among the distinguished guests will be cabinet ministers,
"church dignitaries, as well as members of Malta's elite.
"The Baroness de Vero has promised to wear the Cisconia diamonds,
"including the fabulous eight-pointed Star of Sicily."
Well, now, where on Earth would she put that?
That's where Mackintosh met my mother.
She was in the Resistance.
They were married in Paris.
Code names, both wanted by the Gestapo.
- Waiting for the knock on the door. - They enjoyed it.
Like us.
- Well, we're addicts, Mrs. Smith. - Yes. Hooked.
But maybe one day it would be nice to say, "I love you" to someone.
- What? - Nothing.
- You said something. - A murmur of contentment.
I am at peace, body and soul.
- Is that true? - No.
- Pity. - Liar.
How long do you say you could stand this?
I don't know. About as long as you could.
Right on time.
"Sleep after toil, port after stormy seas."
It's the end of the line for Slade, poor bastard.
And if he isn't onboard?
Be the biggest cock-up since Burgess and Maclean.
- George Wheeler's such a nice man. - Oh, fine chap.
Oh, mes gants!
- I beg your pardon? - My gloves.
- I forgot them in the car. - Oh, yes.
- The black Mercedes. - Yes, of course.
Oh, I'm sorry.
- Sorry. - Are they gone?
- No gloves. - Oh!
I probably have left them at home.
- I'm sorry to trouble you. - Not at all. No trouble.
It's really a pleasure.
- Summers. - How nice to see you.
- How's Stu this year? - Oh, very well.
- Same as well as last. - Yes.
- How do you do? - How do you do?
Sir George Wheeler. Mr. and Mrs...
I'm dying to see the inside of it, aren't you?
It's really fantastic.
Do you know, I've known Veronique since she was a little girl.
When she was at school with my daughter, you know.
Yes, we used to spend every summer in Antibes together until her mother died.
- How is your father, dear Mackintosh? - Tr猫s bien.
You know her father was incredible during the war.
He has the Croix de Guerre,
the Croix de la Lib茅ration and the Croix de R茅sistance.
You know, dear, we always talk about you.
Did you know that Colette was married last year?
- No. - No?
Oh, and what about yourself? Are you still Mackintosh?
- Mrs. Smith. - Oh, I'm delighted for you.
I'd like to meet him. Is he here?
I'll find him for you. I'll bring him to you.
Oh, yes.
All right. Excuse me.
Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Mrs. Smith.
This really is an unexpected pleasure.
I've just been told that your father was Angus Mackintosh.
- Have a drink. - Thank you.
I've known your father since before you were born.
We worked together during the war. Special Operations.
I was in the Balkans, your father was in France.
I heard about the accident. I'm terribly sorry.
Some of these motorists are criminally irresponsible.
- How is the dear fellow? - He's still in hospital.
Well, I'm sure it can't be too serious.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be here, would you?
To his speedy recovery.
He's a tough old bird, your father.
I always hoped he'd come into politics, but that world is not for him.
Even the best of politicians have to compromise sometimes.
It's something that he simply couldn't do.
I want to see the Commissioner.
- Have you got an appointment? - No.
What is the nature of your business?
I wanna report a crime.
- Your name, please? - Rearden.
First name?
I must see the Commissioner. I must see him now.
Go upstairs, to your right and ask for Sub-Inspector Tanti.
Inspector Tanti?
Excuse me.
I have information as to the whereabouts of Ronald Slade.
- Slade? - Yes.
The convict who escaped from Chelmsford three weeks ago. He's in Malta.
Where?
With all due respect, I'd prefer to tell the Commissioner.
Just a moment.
Your father's the...
He's the straightest person I've ever known.
Yes, I'm sure.
He came to see me on the day of the accident.
He spoke about you with the greatest affection, as he always does.
Now, what brings you to Malta?
Is something the matter? Are you feeling all right?
- Can I help you? - I'm sorry.
Just come in here and rest for a while.
You'll be all right. That's a girl.
What is the source of your information? How are you connected with this matter?
- Let me answer those questions later. - Who are you?
I'm a British intelligence officer, incognito.
My passport is false. I have no proof of my real identity.
You are not, perhaps, out of your mind?
Look, detain me. Lock me up.
But for God's sake, search the Artina. Slade is onboard.
Impossible, without instructions from a governmental authority.
We must have material evidence.
Evidence? You want evidence?
My name is Joseph Rearden, also wanted in England.
Slade and I escaped Chelmsford together. Get my file from Interpol.
Ahoy, Artina!
- Come aboard, Commissioner. - Oh, there you are, Sir George.
To what do I owe this honor?
Excuse me, but how many are in your party, Sir George?
Myself and a complement of four.
Three crew members and one cook.
- I mean, how many are aboard? - One, beside myself.
The rest are on shore sampling
the fleshpots of Valletta.
- How well do you know them, sir? - Oh, I know them very well indeed.
This man, Cox, is the latest addition.
And you've been with us, three, two years, is it?
Yes, sir.
Why all the questions, Commissioner?
Allegations have been made, sir, that Ronald Slade is aboard.
But that's the most absurd thing I ever heard in all my life.
And my own opinion, Sir George.
- And where did such an idea come from? - This man.
- And who might this man be? - Joseph Rearden.
Joseph Rearden?
Well, have him come aboard. Let's have a look at him.
Bring him here!
It is Joseph Rearden.
I've seen your picture in the newspapers.
You're the famous jewel thief who escaped from Chelmsford.
He's a wanted man. Congratulations, Commissioner!
Thank you, Sir George.
This is a terrific coup for the Maltese police.
Search the ship.
- Oh, no, Sir George. - Please, I insist.
I insist. Do a thorough job.
So you insist that I have Ronald Slade onboard?
How did you arrive at this ridiculous conclusion?
I like to study the workings of the criminal mind at close quarters,
whenever I have the opportunity, so please, speak out.
Oh, you're very good, Wheeler.
You're better than good, but then you've had a lot of practice.
More than anyone else in Great Britain today, I stand for law and order.
Consequently, I have become the criminals' favorite target.
I'm the arch enemy, whom you and all your underworld colleagues
are so pathetically determined to abuse and damage.
- Where's Mrs. Smith? - Mrs. Smith?
Yes, I believe there was a Mrs. Smith here today,
but she left with the other guests.
Where are they?
The church at Marsaxlokk.
Show me. Come on.
Get out.
Hold it.
Go on.
Well done, Cox.
We've been expecting you, Rearden.
If you value this girl's life, you'll lower your pistol.
She and Cox will be the first victims, if we start to exchange bullets.
Then you and Wheeler kill each other
and I could beat the drums like the last act in Hamlet.
Barbaric and unnecessary.
Cox, go to my speedboat and signal the seaplane with a flashlight.
Let him go. He's not serving any useful purpose.
Your companion, Mrs. Smith, has been a mine of information.
However, she's made one statement that requires corroboration,
so I'm going to ask you some questions.
If you so much as hesitate before answering,
I shall assume that Mrs. Smith has been lying.
Am I to understand that Mackintosh wrote a letter?
He did.
What were the contents of this letter?
His suspicion of you. My role in the affair.
Enough, after what's happened, to put you away for a long time.
- Who has it now? - His solicitor.
- The firm? - Cranston and James.
To whom would they deliver it?
Commander Pearson, head of counterintelligence.
- And he in turn gives it... - To the Prime Minister.
I see.
- Is Mackintosh dead? - Yes.
5:00 this evening, before I left the Artina.
- Well, you've had it, Wheeler. - To a degree.
When I told Cox to wait for you and bring you here,
I thought to have you and Mrs. Smith disappear with Slade.
Vanish from the West, tonight,
and I'd go back to London.
But now it seems that I shall have to go with Slade,
instead of you and Mrs. Smith.
It's a relief, in a way.
At least I won't have to play the pompous ass any longer.
I can be myself for a change.
I can say and do what I believe.
Perhaps it's for the best.
Kill him, Rearden!
We're all in the same game, Rearden. We're all expendable.
But killing won't solve our differences.
They'll continue long after we're dead.
We could make a realistic agreement now.
Such as?
Well, we could lay down our arms and go our separate ways in peace.
Slade and I could walk out of that door, go to our new lives,
and you and Mrs. Smith could do the same.
Or would you rather be the good soldier, kill and be killed?
Unquestioningly obedient, Rearden.
No personal choice.
Let's break the rules tonight, eh? Just this once.
Our deaths would mean little or nothing to anyone, anywhere.
Only to ourselves.
Traitors!
Oh, dear! The voice of fear and anger. The fanatic in our midst.
Rearden, I've a pretty good idea of how your mind works
from our chess games together.
I'm going to take a chance.
Will you kill me now?
I did what I believed in.
Are you going to punish me for that?
Can you pull the trigger? I think not.
This is a standoff, Rearden.
So far as you and Mrs. Smith are concerned,
this is no more than a minor setback.
Compare that with what I'm losing.
So, please, don't imagine that I'd settle for spending the rest of my life in jail.
I'd rather you shot me.
Prison, Rearden. You've had a taste of that.
The stakes are still high.
Wheeler, play out the hand.
Good luck.
Wheeler died trying to get Slade.
That's how Mackintosh would have wanted it.
You were going to let them get away.
I should have killed you, too.
