Exactly six minutes ago...
:16:05
my devices were automatically armed...
:16:08
by clockwork mechanism.
:16:11
They are now live, active...
:16:15
and waiting for the dawn.
:16:19
It follows that I have the information...
:16:23
that will render the bombs harmless.
:16:27
I will give you this information, Mr. Porter...
:16:31
for the very modest sum...
:16:34
of $500,000.
:16:40
I do not wish to see anybody harmed,
Mr. Porter.
:16:44
Any loss of life...
:16:46
resulting from your company's refusal
to cooperate...
:16:51
will be your responsibility and yours alone.
:16:56
No doubt you will instruct your captain...
:17:00
to make an immediate search
for my devices.
:17:04
He will find seven steel drums.
:17:09
Fifty-gallon drums...
:17:11
painted green
with a yellow band near the top.
:17:17
Once they are located...
:17:19
no attempt should be made to move them.
:17:24
If the position of any drum is altered...
:17:29
it will explode instantaneously.
:17:34
Any attempt to dismantle
any of the devices...
:17:38
will have the same result.
:17:41
An immediate explosion.
:17:46
The devices are booby-trapped
in various ways.
:17:51
I need hardly add...
:17:53
that I would not have embarked
on an enterprise of this kind...
:17:59
if I were not totally confident...
