:28:09
Uniform, sir.
:28:16
Scudder unearthed some
extraordinary stuff - I remember once...

:28:21
- Tillotson...
- Mm?

:28:23
Tell us what you found out.
The Greek premier may be assassinated.

:28:27
Yes, I know,
their timetable is quite remarkable.

:28:30
The volume of background research
these Prussians carried out is...

:28:35
Tillotson!
:28:37
Do you know how they will
carry out the assassination?

:28:40
Ah. Scudder only refers to it
as "the 39 steps".

:28:43
- But what does it mean?
- I don't know.

:28:50
- It isn't in the book?
- No.

:28:57
Do you know how
they're going to reach the Ariadne?

:29:02
No.
:29:10
- It had better be good news.
- It doesn't make sense, sir.

:29:14
- Well?
- After Sir Walter was abducted,

:29:17
he went to his office for 20 minutes
before that meeting.

:29:28
The man at the meeting
may not have been the real Sir Walter

:29:32
but the man who came here
most certainly was.

:29:35
What exactly did he do
while he was here?

:29:38
He read the urgent mail I gave him,
he signed two memoranda I drafted,

:29:42
took a telephone call from his tailor
and signed a Ministry of Works permit.

:29:47
- He signed three papers.
- Let me see those.

:29:50
Please!
:29:54
Gentlemen. Gentlemen, please!
:29:57
We would ask you
to take your seats within ten minutes.
