:42:10
I saw you...
:42:12
writing in that book
at the embassy in Cairo...

:42:19
when I had thumbs
and you had a face...

:42:22
and a name.
:42:24
I see.
:42:28
Before you went
over to the Germans,

:42:30
before you found a way to get
Rommel's spy across the desert
and inside British headquarters.

:42:34
He took some
pretty good photographs.

:42:37
I saw mine in that
torture room in Tobruk.

:42:40
So, it made an impression.
:42:44
I had to get back to the desert.
I'd made a promise.

:42:49
The rest meant
nothing to me.

:42:51
What did you say ?
:42:53
That the rest...
meant nothing to me.

:42:57
There was a result
to what you did.

:42:59
It wasn't just another expedition.
It did this.

:43:03
If the British hadn't
unearthed that photographer,

:43:05
thousands of people
could have died.

:43:08
Thousands of people did die.
Just different people.

:43:11
- Yes, like Madox.
- What ?

:43:15
You know he shot himself,
your partner,

:43:18
- when he found out you were a spy.
- What ?

:43:20
[ Breathing Heavily ]
:43:23
Madox thought
I was a spy ? No.

:43:27
No, I was never a spy.
:43:30
It's ghastly.
It's like a witch hunt.

:43:33
Anybody remotely foreign
is suddenly a spy.

:43:35
- So watch out.
- Right.

:43:38
We didn't care about
countries, did we ?

:43:41
Brits, Arabs,
Hungarians, Germans--

:43:43
None of that mattered, did it ?
It was something finer than that.

:43:47
Yes, it was.
:43:51
I'll leave the plane
in Kufra oasis.

:43:53
- So, if you need it--
- Right.

:43:55
Hard to know
how long one's talking about.

:43:58
We might all be back
in a month or two.
