And the best code breaker
at the War Office is waiting for this.

:22:05
Oh, if you approve, that is.
:22:22
He only eats once a year, Sir Walter.
:22:26
This is the first breakfast
I've had in a week!

:22:29
Come in.
:22:32
- Good morning, gentlemen.
- Morning, sir.

:22:35
- Care for a cup of coffee?
- No, thank you, sir.

:22:38
- Your clothes, Mr Hannay.
- Thank you.

:22:41
How's Tillotson doing
with the notebook?

:22:44
It was Scudder's own personal code, sir.
:22:46
But Tillotson cracked it half an hour ago.
:22:49
- When shall we have the details?
- He wants to see us at 11 o'clock.

:22:54
That'll leave us 45 minutes!
:22:56
I have a meeting at 10:15,
that usually takes about an hour.

:23:01
Does it have anything to do with
the safety of the British fleet?

:23:07
Mr Hannay, we owe a great debt
to your courage and resourcefulness

:23:11
but there are still some matters
classified as highly confidential.

:23:18
Yes, I do understand that.
:23:20
And you must realise
:23:22
that I'm not exaggerating
about these three Prussians.

:23:25
They are men of
extraordinary courage and devotion.

:23:29
Courage?!
:23:32
Yes, I know.
:23:34
But they are courageous.
And dangerous.

:23:38
- We are taking as many...
- Lomas!

:23:40
Lines of policemen
won't safeguard Karolides!

:23:46
They won't rush up with a bomb!
:23:48
They were chosen as sleepers because
they can pass as natives of this country,

:23:53
not so much by disguise
as by outrageous bluff!

:23:56
Are you suggesting
we shouldn't guard Mr Karolides?
