:19:01
That took me a year.
He's dead.
:19:05
Another man
showed the Germans...
:19:07
a way to get
their spies into Cairo.
:19:10
I've been
looking for him.
:19:13
[ Madox ] You can't get through there.
It's impossible.
:19:16
[ Almasy ] I was looking again
at Bell's old maps.
:19:18
If we can find a way
through the Wadi,
:19:20
we can drive
straight into Cairo.
:19:23
- This whole spur is a real possibility.
- So on Thursday,
:19:26
you don't trust Bell's map, Bell was
a fool, Bell couldn't draw a map.
:19:28
But on Friday,
he's suddenly infallible.
:19:31
- And where are the expedition maps ?
- In my room.
:19:34
Those maps belong to
His Majesty's government.
:19:36
They shouldn't be left lying around for
any Tom, Dick or Harry to have sight of.
:19:39
What on earth's
the matter with you ?
:19:42
Don't be so bloody naive !
You know there's a war breaking out !
:19:51
This arrived this morning.
:19:54
"By order of
the British Government,
:19:56
all international expeditions
to be aborted by May, 1939."
:20:03
What do they care
about our maps ?
:20:07
What do we find
in the desert ?
:20:09
Arrowheads,
spears.
:20:12
In a war, if you own the desert,
you own North Africa.
:20:15
Own the desert ?
Ha !
:20:18
Um, Madox ?
That place--
:20:24
That place at the base
of a woman's throat.
:20:29
You know,
the hollow here.
:20:32
Does it have
an official name ?
:20:36
For God's sake, man,
pull yourself together.
:20:50
[ Announcer ] Nowhere is there any
wild patriotic excitement,
:20:53
but everywhere there is
a deep hatred of war.
:20:55
The answer lies
with one man,
:20:58
and the solid mass of the crowd
surging round his car...
