- I told you I'd wait.
- It may be rather a long time.
1:40:21
- Sit down.
- I prefer to stand.
1:40:23
That's a quotation, isn't it?
1:40:25
You have no right to send her to Jakarta.
1:40:27
- Send who?
- Mrs. Severn.
1:40:29
- She knew of nothing of anything...
- lf you'll allow me to speak.
1:40:33
Thank you.
1:40:35
We've been considering your last report.
1:40:37
When I sent that confession,
it was the first she knew of...
1:40:40
That confession was never received.
1:40:42
Understand that clearly, never received.
I'm speaking of something quite different.
1:40:46
The report in which you said
the constructions had proved a failure.
1:40:50
I never said anything of the sort.
On the contrary...
1:40:53
And that the works, whatever they were,
had been dismantled.
1:40:56
In view of that,
we have decided to shut down your post.
1:40:59
We think the best thing for you would
be to stay here on our training staff...
1:41:03
lecturing how to run a station abroad.
1:41:05
As we always do
when a man retires from a post abroad...
1:41:07
we'll recommend you for a decoration.
1:41:09
In your case,
under the rather special circumstances...
1:41:12
we can hardly suggest
anything higher than the OBE.
1:41:14
Good morning. Good morning, gentlemen.
1:41:17
Are you going back to your office?
1:41:19
I'll walk over with you.
1:41:21
- 59200.
- Yes, sir?
1:41:23
See that these drawings are destroyed.
They must never get out of here.
1:41:27
- I can't say how sorry I am, sir.
- There's nothing to be sorry for, 59200.
1:41:30
Happily, these plans never left our office.
1:41:32
In our service it is essential to bury
the past very quickly and very securely.
1:41:37
We will obviously
have to find a different girl for Jakarta.
1:41:40
The loss of those two, sir,
will create rather a vacuum.
1:41:43
What?
1:41:45
I'm most frightfully sorry, sir.
I really hadn't intended to make a pun.
1:41:48
I only thought, perhaps,
that if we are to make a clean sweep...
