He pulled a gun on me,
he said men were after his blood

:21:03
and something about the 15th
and a plot to murder Karolides.

:21:07
- You can prove that?
- Why else would they kill him?

:21:11
- But you didn't believe him.
- Of course I...

:21:16
Well, I... I wasn't quite sure
what to believe then.

:21:21
So you emptied his gun, locked him in
and booked passage to Cape Town.

:21:27
When he escaped you prepared
a second chance for them at St Pancras.

:21:31
Why would I want Scudder killed?
:21:43
I've been in England for ten weeks.
:21:45
I was bored so I decided
to go back to South Africa.

:21:49
That is why I booked
a passage to Cape Town.

:21:51
- Have you lived in South Africa long?
- 25 years, since I was a child.

:21:56
- How many years in the German colony?
- Five.

:22:00
- Doing what?
- I'm a mining engineer.

:22:02
- Prove it.
- Do you want me to sink a shaft?

:22:04
- Write to them! Ask them!
- The German authorities in Africa?

:22:09
- What are you trying to say?
- What are you trying to say?

:22:12
Can't you get it into your head
that Scudder was on to something big?

:22:17
So big it involves a war
between this country and Germany!

:22:21
- And Scudder told you this.
- It was in his notebook.

:22:25
The black notebook he was trying
to give me when he was killed.

:22:29
- We didn't find any notebook.
- I don't believe this is happening.

:22:36
- Ich glaube, Sie lügen.
- Und ich glaube, dass Sie unfähig sind.

:22:40
- Where did you learn your German?
- In Africa, where did you learn yours?

:22:52
Right...
:22:53
I want a solicitor and I want bail.
:22:56
Everything you've said and done is
involved with the defence of the realm.
