Hello?
Hello, Cambridge University here.
We're sending another computer pattern.
Cheerio will you, there's a good chap.
I saw on the telly the Russians put up another one last night.
- We know. - How we doing?
How very nice of you to ask, Mrs Mason, very well, thank you.
Good.
Thank you, Mrs Mason.
- Is that it? - Yes, that's it.
Ooh, was ever so much clearer on the telly.
Very clever the Russians aren't they.
Very... Good grief it's nine o' clock!
Now David, don't forget we've got our conference
- at the Ministry of Defence at two. - I won't.
- Professor Garrett, did you do them? - Ah, yes.
Burnley versus Spurs was the tricky one, Mrs Mason.
The computer says Burnley to win, but my calculations make it a draw.
- All right, draw. - Good luck.
Mary says if we have any more of these all night sessions
she's going to cite the Russians as correspondents.
I don't know why they can't launch them in the daylight like everybody else.
Well, I'm going to try and get my head down for a few hours.
How you can go without sleep?
I have a system that does away with sleep entirely.
- What's that? - I faint a lot.
Do you know, he cycles with his eyes shut.
Did I ever tell you what I can do with my eyes shut?
- Everything ready? - All shipshape, Professor.
- Jolly good. See you tonight then. - Yes, sir.
See, he's nice.
The meeting isn't till two o'clock is it sir?
No, but I have another call I want to make first.
What was the address sir?
Sir?
What was the address in London?
Oh, er... Paddington Temperance Hall.
It's just off Praed Street.
Sir? Do you want me to wait?
Do you want me to wait or come back?
Whichever you like. I'll be about an hour.
Oh, could you tell me where the match is please?
Oh, yes sir, up the stairs, first right, sir.
- Thank you. - Oh, don't make any noise sir.
- They're very quiet sort of chaps. - I won't.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
My dear, my dear Professor Garrett, David.
- Hello doctor. - So you've managed to come.
- I'm so glad, I'm so deeply glad. - I can't stay for very long, I'm afraid.
You're here, that's all that matters. You will play, of course?
I came to play.
I've saved a table for you. It'll be just like the old days.
Your black knight is missing.
Doctor?
Sorry... My move.
It's all right, doctor.
No, no, we're not beginners.
I've touched it and it will stand.
I resign.
Everybody! Everybody, please! It's now time for the lunch recess.
We shall recommence promptly at 2.15 to conclude the unfinished games.
- Doctor! - Oh, David.
I was, I was looking for you.
I must go and have a rest before the afternoon games.
- Look out, they're coming for you. - Where?
Doctor Melnicker.
If you'll step this way we can start the lunch.
I'm sorry, I can not.
Oh dear, what a blow.
- Dr Melnicker has a previous engagement. - Oh, yes, yes, I understand.
But I thought he'd accepted our invitation to lunch.
Mrs Webster's been up all night making Hungarian goulash soup for him.
Oh well, she'll have to eat it herself then.
- Eat it? - Oh well let... let her drink it!
Oh, charming.
- My car. - David...
I think perhaps it would be better for you if we just said goodbye here.
Nonsense.
- I'll take you back to your hotel. - As you wish.
Doctor, this is England. You're with friends.
Remember that if you need help.
I'll remember.
I think that the game would have turned out quite differently if you had, er...
realised the importance of my seventh move.
Auf wiedersehen.
- Sir? - Yes.
Sir, Major McPherson wants to see you before your meeting.
Ah, thank you.
- Professor Garrett. - Ah, yes.
- Professor Garrett, sir. - Oh yes, show him in.
Sit down, Professor.
I only have a few minutes, Major, so could we get to the point straight away.
You're always in such a hurry aren't you,
rushing from your laboratory to your rooms.
Your rooms to Paddington Temperance Hall.
You're very efficient.
Thank you, I just about take pride in doing my job well,
you know the sort of thing. Keeping you chaps away from undesirable aliens.
No thank you.
Look, if you mean Dr Melnicker, I'm very proud that I was once one of his pupils.
He also happens to be a friend of mine.
And did you know that your friend's a member of the East German communist party?
I know that very well.
Look, Professor, you're a scientist, astronomer, etc., etc.,
Politics nothing to do with you.
You and Melnicker play chess and so on and so forth
I'm very sorry.
And I quite understand that.
But, er, from shall we say, the point of view of public relations
I wouldn't have anything further to do with him from now on.
- You'll be saying that he's a spy next. - No, as a matter of fact, actually, er...
Rumour has it that he, er...
He's been able to supply money to help political refugees.
Of course, if his government ever found out...
finito for Dr Melnicker.
Surprised you haven't told him.
That's for their security to find out isn't it.
Officially he's a communist and people talk you know.
Guilt by association and all that sort of thing.
My driver tell you that too.
We have many sources of information.
Professor, I know that our methods must seem very irksome to you,
but, after all, you have been engaged in a top secret project
and all our methods are for your own protection.
- Thank you for my little lecture. - It's all part of the job.
Must be quite a change from directing traffic.
- Hello, Garrett. - Hello.
- Ah, my dear Professor. - Hello, Colonel.
Marvellous thing that machine you chaps have invented.
Everyone at the war office is tremendously impressed.
- Nice of you to say so. - The Russians can't catch us napping now.
Nor the Yanks.
- Ah, I see my colleague has arrived. - Yes sir, he's in the erm...
Oh, well as long as he's here.
- Oh, Professor Chambers. - Yes?
Have you seen Professor Garrett? He left this chess box in the car.
Yes, he's in there.
- I will take it. - Thank you.
- Hello, Colonel. - Hello, Chambers.
- You left your chess box in the car. - Ah, thank you.
Your nanny thought you might like a game.
- How was Mary? - Knee deep in tonight's dinner
when I left her.
- 8 o' clock all right for you? - Fine.
Oh, er... David, I think I better warn you
there'll be another unmarried girlfriend at Mary's there.
Oh dear.
I wish she'd appreciate the fact that I'm a very happily unmarried man.
She promises this one's different.
How different?
See you in the minister's office.
Never got on with chess myself.
In India, all the Tarns played it, apparently.
- They were very clean. - Oh.
There was a fellow, Dishowa.
Always playing chess.
Didn't care for him much.
Oh.
Chess is all right for you brainy chaps, I suppose.
Yes.
If I'd been one of the stewards I'd've asked that fellow for an explanation.
A nag like that can't win at 100-6, without some monkey business, Corporal.
I'd a fiver each way myself.
Right, gentleman, if we're all ready?
No David?
He's probably lost his way.
I knew these scientist chaps were mad but not actually barking.
I'll just get your driver for you sir, she's having her tea.
Erm... no, no, um... no don't... don't bother.
David!
How are you?
I wanted the chess match.
Is it in a different room this afternoon then?
We cancelled.
- Cancelled? - Dr Harmonica er... whatever his name is.
He never turned up. Quite a row there was.
Thank you.
Pawn to Kings four.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Knight to Kings four.
Kings square four.
- Kings square four? - I don't know, pontoon's my game.
Thanks for the use of the hall.
Taxi!
- Kings square four. - Kings Square, Chelsea?
I hope so.
Hello! Who is it?
You're early, hang on.
Behind you.
First door on your right.
Just go straight in.
Answer it darling.
- Where do you want it? - What is it darling?
They're from the wine merchants.
Tell them first door on the right, on the table.
They want you to sign for it.
Oh, you sign for it darling, I haven't got anything on.
Afraid I haven't got anything small.
Won't be long now, nearly ready.
Help yourself to a drink.
Thank you.
- Didn't she look lovely? - Radiant.
Look...
I wonder if you could tell me who's house this is?
I've no idea, I'm only a friend of the bride. Why?
Does sound very foolish, but I think I'm in the wrong one.
Ooh... I'm Maggie. Are you leaving?
I'm terribly sorry, but...
but my name is David Garrett.
Well, David Garrett, you can come and help me with some drinks. Come along.
- Look, I... - Oh! Lots of people.
Now there's lots of lovely fizz for everyone. Here you are.
- Come and get it! - I ought to re...
I... I write songs, what do you do?
I'm a Professor of astrophysics at Cambridge.
- Do you know 'Music McGee'. - No I'm afraid I don't.
I'll sing it for you:
Music McGee is the only one for me.
The only one for me.
Irish eyes are glinting.
I welcome you one and all to my daughter's wedding.
You might have dressed for the wedding, old chap.
You ought to try this, old boy, it's not as difficult as it looks, you know.
Hello lover, are you enjoying yourself?
- Where is he? - Where's who?
That man, the one that was talking to you.
Why I do believe you're a tiny bit jealous.
What an amazing...
Lost something?
On the contrary...
I think I've found something.
How nice.
I love finding things.
I once found a baby alligator on a bus.
What did you find?
I'll answer your question if you answer one of mine first.
Oh, I love puzzles, go ahead.
Who's house am I in?
- Well, mine of course. - And who are you?
Ah! You say one question, it's my turn now.
Who's side are you on?
What?
I said who's side are you on? The bride's or the groom?
Neither.
Well, who are you? I think you're a just a gatecrasher.
- Shame on you. - Look here, miss...
- Maggie. - Maggie.
You know, if you didn't drink so much you'd be quite presentable.
You're a little on the portly side at the minute.
No more bread for you.
- Don't you play any games? - Only chess.
I'm sorry.
I was expecting someone but... with all this I didn't realise.
It's all right... in fact I really enjoyed the party.
Where's Dr Melnicker?
- Oh, he's not here. We had to... - Maggie! Maggie! The time!
We'll be late.
- We'll have to meet later. - Where are you going?
- I'm going to the station to see them off. - But what about Dr Melnicker?
You shouldn't have come so early.
- I'll be back in half an hour. - I can't wait.
Maggie, come on.
Look, I have to go.
But you must telephone me. It's very important.
- Please don't go. - I have to.
Maggie!
Don't forget to ring me!
- Hello. - Hello, Maggie?
Oh, it's you. Why didn't you telephone sooner?
Because two thugs have been chasing me and I only just got away.
- Chasing you. What for? - Probably the money.
Money?
Oh, the money.
Look, I must get it back to Dr Melnicker as soon as possible.
Well, I'm to take you to him at...
Oh...
We'll be late. Look, I'll tell you what, meet me at erm... Have you got a pencil?
Hang on.
Now, go ahead.
Dr Melnicker.
I'm so sorry.
I should think you would need a doctor
if you're in the habit of accosting strangers in public places.
David!
Over here.
Where's Dr Melnicker?
Come on, the train only stops for a minute. Get in quickly.
- Where is Dr Melnicker? - Look, please don't argue.
I'll explain later. Hurry!
This is ridiculous. I'll never... I beg your pardon, I'm sorry.
Look! Hang on!
- Look! Porter! - You can't do that, come in.
- Look, what is all this about? - All what?
I have a dinner engagement this evening.
But you've got something to deliver, haven't you?
- Well... yes, but I... - Well come on then.
I've saved a seat for you.
Sorry.
- Look, let's get one thing straight... - Shush.
I will not shush.
Where are we going?
To see Dr Melnicker.
I realise that but you never said anything about taking a train journey.
You look quite warm and distinguished when you're cross.
Do I?
My mink!
Perhaps you'd tell me where we're going?
Flamborough Head.
Where did you say?
Flamborough Head. You know, in Yorkshire.
I know it's in Yorkshire. But what is Dr Melnicker doing in Yorkshire.
I don't know. Ask him when we get there.
- I am not going to... - Shush.
Flamborough is about eight hours by train.
I doubt very much if this is the right line anyway.
- Then we'll have to change. - Where?
No, I don't care where, I am not going to Flamborough.
I have a very busy weekend ahead of me.
You work too hard.
A nice train journey will do you good.
I'm getting off at the next station.
You're being very difficult.
Much too difficult for me.
- What do you want? I've had a hard day. - You've had a hard day.
Look, Maggie... Maggie, you can't go to sleep now.
You wouldn't dare.
There goes my dinner date.
Then I'm sure you'll feel better for the sleep.
Have I been sleeping long?
Hours, we've just passed Grantham.
Grantham.
I'll finish it outside.
They're on the train. We're trapped.
Who?
Two men. I think they're secret police.
Ooh, my coat.
There. I'm so frightened.
Quick!
Go on, Maggie. Go on, quick.
Aren't you frightened?
Yes I am a bit.
They'll kill us.
Not on British Railways.
- What on earth did you do that for? - Come on.
Dear, now you've hurt you're ankle.
Well we can't stay here, come on.
- Guards, what happened? - A man and woman jumped off.
- My poor coat... - Shush!
Go on.
Must get to a road some time.
You can get a lift to Flamborough and I can go back to London.
Let's see.
What was that?
I didn't hear anything.
In those trees, listen.
It was an owl.
Do you mind?
Sorry.
- How much further? - Can't be long now.
You said that ages ago.
Blast.
We'll have to get across this fence.
But it's barbed wire.
That I know.
Right.
Well, what are you doing?
Being a man you have no respect for a mink coat.
Oh, come on then, hurry!
- Well, come on. - I can't.
- Why not? - My foot is stuck.
Get me a stick.
A stick.
Don't go away.
David!
I've found it. The road.
- Where are you? - Over here.
Maggie!
- Maggie! Where are you? - Here!
Help!
- Help! - Oh!
Swim nearer then I can get your hand.
I can't swim!
Help!
Don't panic.
I'm not panicking, I'm drowning!
Help!
- You all right? - Splendid, thank you.
- David? - Shush!
They must have heard the splash.
Quickly.
In there.
My father was the keeper of the Eddystone light.
He married a mermaid one fine night.
Out of this union there came three.
Hey! Perhaps he could lend us some dry clothes.
Good idea.
Oh, for the life of the rolling sea.
Mr Boatman.
Ah, have I arrived at Prospero's isle all ready?
Are the spirits calling me?
- Good evening. - Good evening, sprite.
Mr Boatman, my friend and I have just fallen in the canal.
- And we were wondering... - Wonder no more!
Your good Samaritan welcomes you aboard.
Whoa there Daisy and you're honourable. Whoa!
Hold it my friend.
Now pull it ashore.
Oh, you poor, wet spirit.
- Welcome my friend. - Thank you very much.
Ah, I'll get you some dry clothes.
Pardon me.
Here, items.
- And I have plenty of towels. - Thank you.
Now, whilst you disrobe I'll, er... I'll brew a magic potion...
to celebrate our meeting.
Well, come on, get your clothes off.
What?
Oh, come on you big baby, I won't look.
Go over by the fire otherwise you'll die of flu or something.
Do you have a...
Do you have any idea where we are?
Perhaps our gallant captain will know.
It's a pretty odd set up here.
I think it's very cosy.
[indistinct singing]
- I hope you take sugar? - Thank you.
- All right? - Yes.
- You better take this now. - Oh...
Oh, I wonder if the water's spoiled them?
Dry as a bone.
Refreshments for aerial souls.
- And for you, Carreban. - Thank you.
Oh, but Carreban was a horrid person.
Have a drop of rum with your tea, horrid Carreban.
No, thank you. I don't drink.
- Good for a cold. - No, no really...
- Oh, come on! It's Christmas. - No, no...
Well, this is very kind of you.
My name's David Garrett by the way and this is Maggie.
Maggie...?
One name is good enough for anyone. I'm Wilkins.
- What, just Wilkins? - Just Wilkins.
When I said farewell to civilisation,
such as it is, I decided to be just Wilkins.
Noah, had only one name. Well!
Here's to the end of the world.
Ooh, this is lovely. Oops.
Now I never realised that rum was such a pleasant drink.
This is the real stuff, straight from the Vex Bermúdez.
I have 136 cases aboard.
You must be going on a very long journey.
To the end of the rainbow, sprite.
I shall drop anchor, refill my glass,
and read my Shakespeare again.
What is this life if full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows.
Ah! A Stroller!
- Goodness this rum is strong. - It's the best money can buy.
Quiet in there!
What is it?
The merry, merry pipes of Pan.
And we'll just have another one.
And follow them to the enchanted forest.
- Yes! Rosalind and Orlando! - How do you do?
And over here we have, er...
- Desdemona and Othello. - Charmed.
And here we have, er... Beatrice and Benedict.
There seem to be two of everything.
You may not know your Shakespeare but you certainly remember your bible.
You're not entirely without hope.
It's Noah's Ark.
Oh, what a lovely furry thing. What is it?
She is a grass cutter.
A sort of cross between a porcupine and a Chinese rat.
Do you like Ruby?
Only animals of good will accompany me to my magic island.
Where no bombs will fall.
And Pearson is just a memory.
Who is Pearson?
Pearson was the school history master.
Wasn't for you, fellow.
He was also in charge of the school civil defence programme.
He said, that if a 50 megaton bomb exploded...
over the school during assembly,
it wouldn't necessarily prove fatal,
provided we were all adequately covered with brown paper.
There's an element of truth in that.
Which makes it all the more unbearable.
Well, anyhow...
I decided to exchange my brown paper and my green paper,
and every other scrap of paper for this barge and all it's contents.
To sail to the end of the rainbow.
Health, goodbye.
My wine merchant looked a bit surprised when I ordered 136 cases of rum.
I told him that my Grandmother had a very heavy cold.
I have heard people saying they want to get away from it all.
But you've actually done it.
- That's all right. - It surprises me I never did it years ago.
Anyhow, now you're here.
You'll stay the night of course.
We'll get arrested if we walked about like this.
I'll show you to your beds.
There we are.
Come, why not come all the way?
The sprite here can practise her spells.
You and I can discuss the Bard!
- All 136 cases of them. - Exactly.
And now, if you'll excuse me I must spend the night with my horses,
Daisy and Joseph.
Don't you ever stop?
Oh, just for a couple of hours during the day, sprite.
But we must press on. There's not much time left.
Sweet dreams, my spirits.
Should have asked him to give us a shout if he passes a village or something.
Yes, well later.
Madam...
I am the Professor of astrophysics in the University of Cambridge.
- Good evening to you, sir. - I am delighted to make your acquaintance.
And I, yours.
You are probably asking yourself, good lady...
why I should be pounding on your door at this unseemly hour?
Not at all.
Must get some air.
Feeling better now?
Yes, thank you.
Getting a bit too hot in there.
Do you know much about Dr Melnicker?
No... Not much.
How did you get mixed up in all this?
Money.
You're being paid?
Why not? It's a hard world.
- Who pays you? - A man called Marek.
- Marek? - Yes.
Dr Melnicker was with him in Flamborough.
Do you do much of this sort of thing?
No... you're the first one I've ever kidnapped.
- Maggie? - Yes.
I'm going to take you to Flamborough.
We'll deliver the money together.
Why?
Cos I want to.
Maggie?
Yes.
I think...
you're very, very beautiful.
If anybody had told me this morning,
that I'd be saying that to a girl
later in the day,
I'd have thought they were stark raving mad.
But you are.
Are what?
Mad.
Oh, no...
I'm not mad.
Anyone have any idea where we are?
Well...
Ooh... no sustenance for the sprite.
Do we have to have all that noise?
Oh, I'm sorry.
But I like to be reminded of,
of the scholastic atmosphere every now and then.
We should be somewhere near the main road to Flamborough.
Oh, we ought to be there in a couple of hours now.
Good.
- Something wrong? - Why should there be?
I think we ought to go.
Alas! With parting such sweet sorrows.
I'll show you on your way.
Head for those trees. You'll find that road about a mile beyond.
You've been very kind to us.
I wish you'd let me give you something.
Happiness is the only true kind. Come on Joe.
Fortune be with you elves, until we meet again.
Goodbye Wilkins, and thank you.
- David? - Aha.
Would you like me to take the money.
Why?
Well... with all your appointments and everything, I can deliver it alone.
Is that what's been worrying you.
It's nothing.
Not much traffic.
I wonder which way is Flamborough?
- Ah! - I'll go.
Which way do we go?
That way.
Thanks very much but we're going to Flamborough.
So am I. You're heading the wrong way.
Next time I'll do the looking.
- David... - Now come along. Come on.
It will be very kind of you. We're on our way to...
You're a difficult man to find, Professor.
Get in.
Both of you.
You drive.
Pull over to the right.
Get on to the grass.
Over the verge. Get up there.
- Paul. - Keep still.
Get out.
- Look here. - You too.
Come out.
- Over there. - I won't.
Give me the money.
The money!
- Paul... - Oh, shut up!
Maggie!
Just a minute.
Ah, morning sir. Bit nippy isn't it.
- There's been an accident. - Oh, nothing serious, I hope.
A man's dead... Back there.
- He attacked me and we fell off the cliff. - I say.
It was self defence. He...
Well, I was just going for my lunch.
Come on then, we better go and see.
- He slipped over there. - Nasty drop.
No sign of him now and tides out.
- Tried to rob me. - Rob you too.
Self defence you say. Not much evidence to go on is there?
- Yes, but there was a witness. - Ah, a witness.
- A girl. - Where's she to be found then?
I don't know.
You don't know? Oh dear. What's her name.
- Maggie. - Maggie.
Maggie who?
I don't know.
Oh well, I suppose it'll all come out in time, sir.
- She was meeting someone in Flamborough. - Oh, a very popular place is Flamborough.
I know that but there must be some way of finding her. You've got to help me.
I will sir. I'll help you all I can.
My name's David Garrett and here's my identification.
Maybe we could get the coastguards to drag for the body.
A very good idea. Some very naughty tides and currents round here you know.
Are you positive you want to report this?
You see if you do, someone will have to order it till the body turns up.
Could be a body will never turn up.
Couldn't prove murder then.
Murder!
This wasn't murder, it was self defence.
Ah, if you say so. Come on let's find a telephone.
Is it much further?
Well, we can call in to the Portland Inn.
I know the owner.
Look, there it is you see.
Up there, see it?
Hello Mrs Cromer, how are you these days then?
Better I think. Rex has caught my cold though.
Well I'll wait till I should give him a mustard bath.
Can I use your telephone on official business?
Better use the office then. I'll get you a line.
Are you a criminal?
Oh... No, no, no... No, I'm not. No.
I thought perhaps as you were with the constable.
May I use that to make a call to Cambridge please.
- Well, as long as you're not a criminal. - Thank you.
Professor Chambers please.
David! Where the hell have you been?
John, look, I'm in a bit of a mess.
You're in a bit of a mess here too. Have you gone mad or something?
Look, I can't explain now but no matter what you hear
there's a perfectly good explanation for everything. Please believe me.
Well, there'd better be. The minister was furious when you didn't show up
and McPherson practically had a heart attack.
Well, once I get back I'll soon clear things up. You know me.
Well, I'm not so sure I do.
Well, where are you anyway? I've got to let security know.
Look, look tell them everything's all right. I'll call you later. Goodbye.
Maggie!
- David, I... - What are you doing here?
I told you to go back, I told you...
Don't you realise what's happened?
Why did you run away?
I'm trying to explain. It's too late.
Love.
It makes the world go round, doesn't it.
When it doesn't stop it completely.
Who are you?
Marek.
Hubert Marek.
How pleasant to meet you, Professor Garrett.
I've heard so much about you.
Why not come in to the lounge?
It's more comfortable there than standing here in a draughty hall.
Since you know everyone here.
David, I...
What is all this horseplay?
What a wonderful expression.
The American's have Coca-Cola.
The Russians have Sputniks.
The French have romance.
But the English have horseplay.
Professor, to describe my work as horseplay
is like asking Rembrandt to paint your bathroom.
He could have destroyed everything I've worked for.
And this money really is for refugees.
Grandmasters never apologise. Never.
Doctor!
Are you forcing me to stay here?
Force is an ugly word.
It reminds me of the Gestapo. Amateurs.
Our's is age of professionals.
And what could be more professional than the submarine.
That will be here for just before dawn.
You mean you're kidnapping me.
To me the word kidnapping suggests a person
snatched from the bosom of his family by force.
Whereas you, you kidnapped yourself.
- Don't... - Come on.
Is the water hot enough?
You had me kidnap myself but you won't let me catch cold.
Is that fair?
It isn't according to the rules.
But up to now, I've played very strictly according to the rules.
My problem, Professor, was to capture the king.
You.
But I wanted the king never to suspect this, I knew he was an able opponent.
I had the advantage.
But I knew a great deal about him and he knew nothing about me.
Why did you start with chess?
Your love of the game, your respect for Melnicker.
My former respect, you mean.
Oh, but what he told you was quite true.
He really helps refugees.
We all have our hobbies.
Unfortunately for Melnicker I found out about his and...
so in my hour of need...
he was happy to help me.
How did you know that I wouldn't take that money belt straight to the police.
You're a man of honour.
You knew that going to the police would incriminate Melnicker.
You also knew that he was in danger.
However, nothing else would have happened.
You doubtless would have gone to the police.
So I had to introduce...
The queen. Quickly.
- Maggie. - Exactly.
To distract... the man.
But even there I couldn't rest, hence the two pawns.
Who made your tour of Chelsea so breathless.
You know, I very nearly didn't get on that train.
Oh, I knew you would.
Just as I knew that moving two knights would get you off the train.
But I got off the train in order to get back to London.
Of course, that's why Wilkins had me waiting on the tow path for six hours.
I knew you'd get on well with him.
And with Maggie.
The purpose of the barge was to seal you off from the outside world.
The queen was very well trained.
But not by me, huh?
Then I killed dear, old, immortal, Paul.
A brilliant scene. To believe you killed a man.
It shocks the emotions.
It paralyses the mind. It must be a dreadful experience.
- It was Paul's idea, you know. - What about Maggie?
The queen, yes.
At that moment, the queen made a move on her own.
- She set you free. - On her own?
Ha, who would have thought it Professor, that in to your austere and devoted life.
A little love would suddenly fall.
Ha! Almost cost me the game.
I had to promote a pawn.
And create police constable Pottle to fill the breach.
And force your final move. A key one I can assure you.
The telephone call to the observatory.
Thus capturing the king.
All's well that ends well.
A most exciting game.
I'm quite exhausted.
Here, put this on.
Oh, I always dress for dinner, by the way.
Whenever I'm in England I feel I owe it to my staff.
You'll find a dinner jacket in the cupboard.
- Will it fit me? - It ought to, it's yours.
Couldn't you have saved yourself a lot of trouble
by just hitting me on the head in Cambridge.
Oh, nobody wants a man who's been abducted by force.
But anyone who studies your recent behaviour
can see quite clearly that you defected voluntarily.
No other conclusion is possible... by your security people.
As a matter of fact, if I was a member of your MI5
I would be most impressed by the care with which you arranged your escape.
Professor! Please Professor! Go on quick!
That was a nice try Professor.
We'll be having drinks on the verandah before dinner.
Oh, David, I'm so glad you're being sensible.
I didn't choose this place for it's old world charm.
It's a natural fortress.
On three sides a sheer drop to the rocks and sea.
In the cove below there is a launch. You'll be using it later.
Oh, Maggie, you look wonderful.
Doesn't she sparkle.
Oh, why don't you leave him alone?
I love your British sense of humour.
That's very flattering.
Professor, I remember I was walking down the Via Tornabuoni...
You know Florence?
Charming city.
I once paid the salary of it's entire police force for one year.
What has all this got to do with me?
Professor, you are a key member of one of the world's great astronomy teams.
I was very much impressed with a report your team sent to the ministry
about the space project.
You've seen it?
I wanted to be sure you were the right man to sell.
Sell!
Not bad, huh?
How do you go about selling a man?
The same way you sell anything, Professor.
I'm a very orthodox business man.
I thought somebody had abolished slavery.
Maggie, could you bring the thyme, the sage and the vinegar.
Who talks about slavery, Professor?
The minute you get off the plane in Moscow, you will be waving and laughing.
No, Maggie. The sage not the mixed herbs.
You defected of your own free will, remember.
- Moscow. - Oh, you don't like the cold.
Maybe he doesn't like Russia.
I can never understand why people skimp with butter.
- Do you like cooking, Maggie? - I think I could get to like it.
Cooking provides one of life's rare opportunities
to come to grips with eternal truth.
You obviously don't do much cooking then.
Oh, enough to fill a craftsman's pride in his work.
The garlic please, Maggie and er...
could you see where the wretched woman put the peeled tomatoes.
Here.
Thank you.
Oh...
I sometimes like to imagine that heaven would be just one big kitchen.
With you roasting on a spit in the middle.
Oh, Maggie, only the wicked would deserve such a fate.
You're very lucky the Americans didn't bid more for you.
They would have bought you, shot you and said the Russians did it.
Chop up some parsley, quickly.
Suppose no one wanted to buy me.
Then we would have gone to East Berlin together.
They would have been delighted to see two people coming the other way.
- How much did you get for David? - 200,000.
- 200,000 what? - Pounds. Thank you.
Maggie, watch this for a second.
Believe me, you're worth every penny.
Thank you very much.
If I had enough money, I would have bought you myself.
He's so generous.
Oh.
News from your submarine, they want you to be aboard before sunrise.
The British coastguard are very alert.
All right, I'll go and tell them you'll be ready.
One of the tragedies of our age is...
that business has to come in to almost everything.
I would feel much happier...
if I could remember our relationship...
as a meeting of minds rather than an exchange of convertible currency.
- Go to your room. - No, no, no.
Let him enjoy our last few hours together.
Why take chances?
There's no more moves, Paul, have you Professor?
The game is truly ended.
David...
Sorry.
Everything has to be packed up tonight.
I can not believe that this is happening.
David, do you really forgive me?
Marek said you did but he's such a liar.
Do you?
Yes, I suppose I do.
Look.
What are those for?
I don't know. I stole them from Marek's coat in the kitchen.
Do you think one of them might fit the launch?
Might.
Then maybe he's wrong.
Maybe the king does have another move.
What?
Give them to me.
Will you take me with you?
- If that's what you want. - Wherever you go?
Of course.
- Professor, our revels soon are ended. - He's not here.
They've gone. I told you to lock him up.
That's absurd.
Keep down here.
- Professor Garrett! - They're not outside.
- Did you check the boat? - It's OK.
Then he's in the hotel.
Search it from top to bottom. Rip it to pieces!
Find him!
Maggie, David.
The swine aren't here!
He isn't a sportsman.
I beat him and...
he doesn't play the game.
- Oh, you see what he's done? - What?
He's castled. The king was in check, he's done an illegal move.
He's castled himself.
Must be in the bloody castle.
Get the boat.
There! There they are!
- Swimming to the island. - But he can't swim.
But he's a scientist, maybe he's invented something. Get the boat.
Hurry! Getting light!
Faster, faster!
David.
You can't escape. Give up.
You're a man of honour. I'll ruin both our reputations.
It's a trick, they must be there. Look around.
Hurry!
I think you know everybody here.
Come back! He was here all the time!
They'll never make it.
Don't worry, we deliver.
Fortunately there's still time.
- What time is it darling? - I haven't got my watch.
It's on the boat.
Maybe this will help.
Check-mate.
Hubert.
- What are you going to do now? - Pack my suitcase, pay my bill and...
Start all over again.
Hubert.
If I could afford you, I'd buy you myself.
