Superintendent,
it's Edmund Appleton's house.
:25:10
You've got it wrong this time.
:25:12
He's a successful businessman
and a friend of half the Cabinet.
:25:16
Edmund Appleton
has shot grouse with King George!
:25:22
Scudder told me one thing
about the man we want -
:25:25
he was standing beside Porton
when he was assassinated.
:25:30
So was Edmund Appleton.
:25:43
Hannay! Come here!
:25:58
- Superintendent!
- Yes?
:26:00
Somebody's been trying to copy
Sir Walter Bullivant's signature.
:26:14
Superintendent, the man who took the
minutes of this meeting was Sir Walter.
:26:19
- He wasn't.
- Damn it, I've known him for years!
:26:22
- You must answer our questions.
- "Must"? Are you insane?
:26:27
You may judge that
when Mr Karolides is assassinated.
:26:31
- What was discussed at the meeting?
- Your career is in danger.
:26:35
So is Mr Karolides, sir,
and so is the British fleet.
:26:38
Gentlemen, would you please
just answer three questions?
:26:44
- Did Sir Walter sign anything?
- No. No, he didn't.
:26:49
- Does "the 39 steps" signify anything?
- Really...
:26:53
- Ariadne's Thread?
- Ariadne?
:26:56
- It's the name of a ship.
- What ship?
:26:59
A German cruiser.
She's lying off Gravesend.
