:58:01
Thank you, sir.
:58:03
I shall look Mr. Rowley up at once
and give him his instructions.
:58:06
You mustn't. It would be too dangerous.
:58:11
What do we do now, call Scotland Yard?
:58:13
I thought it best to send
Monsieur Krug away.
:58:15
You let him get away? Listen...
:58:17
If what you say is true...
:58:18
then it's important not to rouse
Krug's suspicions.
:58:21
- Van Meer will be killed.
- Dead or alive, it's a story.
:58:24
Johnny, father's right.
:58:25
- Okay. I'll cable them what I've got.
- I wouldn't, if I were you.
:58:29
Van Meer's life may depend on
our keeping this quiet a few hours.
:58:32
Keep it quiet?
:58:34
A famous diplomat's kidnapped right
under my eyes and I muzzle myself?
:58:38
I'm sorry, but this is a story
with facts in it.
:58:40
This is the kind of story I'm here to get,
the kind America's waiting for.
:58:44
It'll be a bigger story if you can
wait a few hours...
:58:47
until we find Van Meer and discover
what's behind this curious business.
:58:51
I know what's behind it.
:58:52
I don't mean who is behind it.
I mean the why of it.
:58:55
Would you get me
all my correspondence with Krug?
:58:59
Do what Father says.
It'll be best for you and Mr. Van Meer.
:59:03
Okay. I'll wait.
:59:09
I'm worried about you, Mr. Haverstock.
:59:11
I'm worried about myself.
I feel weak-minded.
:59:13
You're right. I don't like you dashing about
without some protection.
:59:16
- Forget it.
- Lf you're right, you need protection.
:59:18
I've covered beer mob killings
and race riots...
:59:21
without even carrying a rabbit's foot.
:59:23
These people are criminals...
:59:25
more dangerous than your rumrunners
and house-breakers.
:59:28
They're fanatics.
:59:29
They combine a mad love of country
with an equally mad indifference to life...
:59:33
their own, as well as others'.
:59:35
They're cunning, unscrupulous
and inspired.
:59:43
I couldn't face Mr. Powers again
if you didn't live long enough...
:59:46
to turn in the best story of the year.
:59:49
I'm gonna be a fine foreign correspondent
hiding in an attic.
:59:52
I'm not suggesting you hide anywhere.
Just get somebody to protect you.
:59:56
A nurse? Johnny Jones goes to Europe
and hires a nurse.
:59:58
That's going to look great
on the expense account.
