:10:35
Hello. Nervy?
Upset by those shots tonight?

:10:39

:10:40
- You what?
- Yes, to create a diversion.

:10:44
l had to get away
from that theater quickly.

:10:47
There were two men there
who wanted to kill me.

You should be more careful
in choosing your gentlemen friends.

:10:53

some great big state secret.

:11:21
l am here to save a secret
from being divulged.

:11:25
A very important secret
for this country.

:11:27
Not because l love England,
but because it will pay me better.

:11:31
- Thank you.
- The very brilliant agent..

:11:33
of a certain foreign power..

a secret vital to your air defense.

:11:40
l tracked two of his men
to that music hall.

:11:43
Unfortunately,
they recognized me.

:11:45
- That's why they're after me now.
- That was too bad.

:11:48
You ever heard of a thing
called ''persecution mania''?

:11:51
- You don't believe me?
- Frankly, l don't.

:11:54
Go and look down
into the street then.
