- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.

:21:20
Come in.
:21:26
You wanted me, sir?
:21:28
Just a gossip, 59200.
:21:33
All going well?
:21:34
I think
we've got the Caribbean network sewn up.

:21:36
Just put me in the picture.
:21:41
I think
you'll find the West Indies over here, sir.

:21:45
I always mix up the East
and the West Indies.

:21:48
Haiti is here, sir.
:21:50
59200l2 is proving very energetic.
:21:53
Here in Martinique, we are working
with the French Deuxieme Bureau.

:21:56
- Only up to a point.
- Of course, sir.

:21:59
Here I am, in Kingston.
:22:01
And here is Cuba.
:22:03
I'm not quite so happy about 59200l5.
:22:06
- Who's he?
- Our man in Havana, sir.

:22:08
He hasn't sent in any reports yet,
or recruited a single sub-agent.

:22:11
What type is he?
:22:14
Commercial. In the import business.
:22:16
I trust he's a man of substance, Hawthorne.
Small men are worse than useless.

:22:20
Oh, definitely, sir. Definitely.
One of those old-fashioned merchants.

:22:26
- But you haven't had any word from him?
- Only one cable, sir...

:22:30
asking us to pay his membership
at the country club.

:22:32
- I rather hesitated about that.
- Why?

:22:35
As a matter of fact...
:22:36
it's about 10 times as expensive
as the best London club.

:22:39
Haunt of millionaires.
:22:40
That's exactly where our man should be.
Right place for contacts.

:22:44
Don't be penny-wise, Hawthorne.
:22:45
That's not the way these old merchant
adventurers built up their business.

:22:49
- Do you read Kipling?
- No, sir.

:22:53
- How does he communicate?
- I taught him the book code, sir.

:22:57
I gave him Tales from Shakespeare.
He seems to be using it for reading only.
