: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.

:23:00
Send him a sharp cable, Hawthorne.
:23:02
Men like that who exercise authority,
understand authority.

:23:06
Take this down.
:23:07
Following from "C."
:23:09
Absolutely essential recruit agents
without delay.

:23:12
Send names you propose immediately
for checking.

:23:16
Perhaps I'm being too severe, Hawthorne?
:23:19
The country club cost us
500 pounds entrance fee, sir.

:23:22
Five hundred?
:23:23
Add this, Hawthorne.
:23:25
Unless for recruiting agents, what other
possible use has the country club?

:23:37
Come on.
:23:39
Father!
:23:41
What are you doing here?
:23:43
I thought it was about time
I met my fellow members.

:23:46
- Isn't she lovely?
- Take care with her.

:23:54
Excuse me, sir. May I help you?
:23:56
No, thank you. I am a member.
My name's Wormold.

:23:59
- Oh, Miss Milly's father.
- That's right.
