I've had enough of this.
You can get yourself another assistant keeper.
Now, Peters - look---
Now, wait - wait.
You know me, Herr Kleber...
...a quiet, easygoing man - easy to get along with.
But him!
Oh, what's Kristan been up to now?
Now, get this...
...in those three weeks I work on the island Kristan don't say one word to me.
Not one single, solitary word.
On a lighthouse, mind!
Lonely enough as it is.
But when you haven't got a soul to talk to...
...when you don't hear your own voice for weeks on end - that's like being buried alive.
Ah.
Another day and I'd have been as crazy as he is.
I advise you to go back to the lighthouse until I can make...
...my report and get another man appointed.
Oh, no!
I wouldn't go back to that island for all the tea in China.
All right, Peters - have it your way.
Now, let me see.
Peters... Peters... yes... uh---
[DRAWER OPENING]
[DRAWER CLOSING]
Here's your money.
I've earned it.
See if I'm not right about him being crazy.
[BOOK SLAMS SHUT]
[FOOTSTEPS]
Well.
You've got rid of another good man!
The fourth in the last six months.
What's the matter with you, Kristan?
Why won't you talk to any of them?
I had nothing to say.
Well, the Superintendent will!
There's a war on now.
It's almost impossible to replace an able-bodied man in any kind ofjob.
I can work alone.
Yes. You are crazy!
You've been in the service long enough to know - it takes two men to run a lighthouse.
Now it's up to me again to try and find somebody to help you out...
until a regular man's appointed.
Tonight you will have to run the light alone.
So don't get too drunk before you go back, that's all.
[FOOTSTEPS]
No, my dear, the harbour's not what it---
[DOOR SLAMMING]
- Good day, Herr Kristan. - Flowers.
Oh, I'm sorry - I haven't had a flower in the shop for days.
The farmers used to grow them especially for me, but not any more.
They have to grow potatoes and vegetables - the Government insists. Food shortage!
- Is it in memory of your wife? - Yes.
Then why not let me suggest a nice evergreen wreath?
I've got a beautiful one here.
Now, these leaves won't fall so quickly.
And it'll keep nice and fresh for a long time.
- How much? - Seven marks, even.
[RUSTLING PAPER]
[HE GRUNTS]
[FOOTSTEPS]
He gives me the creeps.
Oh, he wasn't always like that.
I can remember him sixteen - no, eighteen - years ago.
He was an engineer on one of the coastal steamers.
A good looking feller, too.
He had the prettiest wife.
But that hand!
Yes, it was a terrible thing.
The boilers exploded and ripped off the whole lower part of his arm.
I think something snapped inside him, too.
Of course, he was no good for the sea after that.
So they gave him a job as a lighthouse keeper.
Did you ever know her - the wife?
Oh, yes, yes. Sixteen years ago, she was drowned in a squall.
They say he was in the boat at the time, too.
But he couldn't save her.
Maybe he couldn't swim? Like most sailors.
Anyway, they never found the body.
Well, what's he want to buy flowers for then, if he hasn't got a grave to put them on?
They say he just drops them on the water...
...near the place where he last saw her.

[PIANO PLAYING AND SINGING]
- Hello, Kristan. - Rum.
Sorry. You'll have to check that before you can get any rum.
It is on account of what happened here when you were here last time.
[PIANO PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND]
I tell you, it was his hook that did it. Don't you believe me?
Sure... a right hook!
Ahh. Let's see how good he is without his fish hook.
Hadn't you better wait until he's... had a few?
Maybe you're right.

Albers!
Good evening, Herr Harbourmaster.
No, no, don't move. I should have known I'd find you here.
Have you been looking for me?
Yes, I uh... I... have a little job for you.
But I'm starting work unloading those coal barges for Herr Keller tomorrow.
Oh, I already spoke to him.
It's alright for you to take this job.
What sort of a job is it?
Go out to Westerrode lighthouse tomorrow morning and, er...
...help Kristan.
For a few days.
Kristan? I thought he had a new assistant.
Oh, he quit this afternoon.
Didn't like the job because Kristan wouldn't talk to him.
Oh.
I just want you to fill in until they send out a regular.
Well, I don't know the old devil.
But from what I know about him, I'd sooner leave it as it is.
All the same, you'll just have to go out there.
But Kristan's bad!
And me not being familiar with the work, he might take it out on me.
If there's any more trouble he'll get kicked out of the Service.
He knows. I've read the riot act to him, just now.
- You don't have to worry, Albers. - Hmm.
All right, then.
Ha! A little more beer, eh?
Oh... he's drunk already.
If I tell him now you're going out, he'll have forgotten it by morning.
I'll give you a little note.
Hand him this when you go out in the morning. Say, er... around seven.
Drinks are on the lighthouse, by the way.
[LAUGHTER]
- Well... so long, Herr Kleber. - Oh, so long... Albers.
[FOOTSTEPS]
Now we'll see what he can do.

Remember me? Sinbad's the name.
Huh. Where'd yer leave the stiff?

You're safe now, Marta.
My name isn't Marta. My name is Marie.
[QUIETLY] Marta.
First, I see to the lights.
- Then I'll bring you some coffee. - No, thank you.

Good morning.
I must look a sight.
It's a lovely dress. But a little out of date.
You are Marta.
You called me that last night. Who is she?
She's wearing this dress. Is this Marta?
My wife.
Where is she?
Drowned.
As you almost were yesterday.
Sixteen years ago.
The very hour I saw you floating in the water.
Now I look at you. It seems Marta... has come back to life.
Her eyes... her hair... everything.
You're Marta!
I'm terribly sorry. If I had known I reminded you of your wife in this dress...
...I never would have put it on.
Perhaps I had better take it off?
No! No! You musn't - not yet.
- But you're making yourself unhappy. - No, I'm not!
I just want to go on looking at you.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Good day. I'm Erich Albers - the Harbourmaster sent me to help you out for a few days.
I've got a note from him.
What are you staring at?
Nothing. Just looking around.
[FOOTSTEPS AND DOOR CLOSING]
You bunk in the oil shed.
You'll find what you want there. Then report back here.
[FOOTSTEPS]
[THREE KNOCKS]
[DOOR OPENING]
Who is he?
- The new helper. - To stay here?
- Only till the regular comes. - Oh.
We can't keep this up.
I'd better tell you who and what I am...
- ...and why I'm here. - Makes no difference.
I wouldn't want to get you in trouble on my account.
No one knows that you're out here.
But what about this new helper of yours?
When he goes back to the village he's bound to say that...
...there's a woman living in the lighthouse.
He'll be here for several days yet. You're safe.
I appreciate your wanting to help me.
But it's no use, I'm afraid.
[DOOR OPENING, CLOSING AND FOOTSTEPS]
Well, where do I start?
You have your breakfast. I'll have mine later.
[FOOTSTEPS]
- Oh! - And how are you, this fine evening?
No, please don't go.
There's plenty of time and there's plenty of room for two.
- I musn't keep you from your work. - Is that the only reason?
Why, yes.
You're sure it isn't because you're scared of old Kristan?
Scared? Why should I be scared of him?
Well I don't know. He's a kind of peculiar man.
You see? You don't know.
And neither do I know why he hasn't introduced us yet.
After all, there are only three of us here on the island.
I think we ought to become aquainted. Don't you?
Perhaps.
My name is Erich Albers.
Are you related to Kristan?
Why... why... why, yes_
I'm his niece.
I come to visit him once or twice a year.
To bring him some things he needs.
And how long will you stay on here?
- I don't know. - Oh, I don't mean to be nosey.
I'm only asking you because I didn't expect...
...to find anyone here, besides the keeper.
At least... not a girl.
[FOOTSTEPS]
Your niece happened to come up and we talked for a moment. That's all.
I'm in charge of Westerrode.
I give orders. Make rules.
I know, can I help it if---
Question her - you'll regret it.
Go down.
[FOOTSTEPS]
You take... dogwatch.
Right.
[CUTLERY ON PLATES]

[PLATES CRASHING AGAINST EACH OTHER]
Let me do that.
Your watch starts at twelve. You'd better get to bed now.
- Good night. - Good night.
[DOOR CLOSING]
I wish you wouldn't hold anything against Albers.
I've been thinking, and I've finally made up my mind.
I'm going to give myself up.
You've been very kind to me.
And I'm really, deeply grateful.
But you still don't know who I am or what I ran away from.
When I tell you, you'll probably regret having fished me out of the water.
It is nothing to me, what you've done.
Even if I tell you that I ran away from a concentration camp'?
That makes everything different. Doesn't it?
I don't know whatever made me think I could get very far without being caught.
But when you've been locked up for months, like I've been...
...when you've had nothing else to do but think.
Of home, of your family.
Then there's only room for one thought in your brain.
How to break out and escape all that filth and misery.
You don't care what may happen. You don't care.
Please. I'll never give you up. I don't care what you've done.
Oh, that's wonderful, Kristan...
...but you're shielding a fugitive!
You didn't know that at first, so nobody could blame you.
But now, you'd really be in serious trouble.
I couldn't allow that, after all you've done for me.
I won't let you go.
But Kristan...
...this arrangement can't go on.
I can't stay here. For many reasons.
Then there is Albers.
I know he suspects something.
The moment he goes ashore he'll tell everybody.
Albers.
Even if he didn't, you said yourself there's another man coming in a few days.
It'll only be the same thing over again.
Kristan, there's only one thing to do.
Give me a little time. I'll find a way.
No.
Tomorrow - take me back.
Tell them you're turning me over because you found out who I am.
That'll clear you.
Good night, Kristan.

All right, here. It's Fletcher.
- Good to see you, Hale. - Thanks, Fletcher - it's good to see you.
How's everything?
- Just like that. - Same with me.
I haven't seen any of our Gestapo friends lately.
They must think I'm the Invisible Man, after this little bit of filching.
- So you got them? - Yes.
There's sixteen photostatic copies.
They show the whole layout.
I don't have to tell you what they mean to us.
I can well imagine.
The place is full of rats.
Make it snappy. What arrangements have been made?
- Where are you staying? - In the lighthouse.
Don't ask me how I did it. It was a wild stroke of luck.
But that works out perfectly.
The motorboat's coming over from Holland at midnight tomorrow.
They'll be waiting for you, as arranged - just off the lighthouse.
Keep a sharp lookout. There must be no slip up.
[MARCHING]
Riemers - you cover this side and the road here.
- If they try to get away, shoot! - Right.
You four - come with me.

You might be there in time to join me.
I'll try to.

- Where are you going? - Let go of that rope!
- Where are you going? - What difference does it make?
I'd like to know.
Give myself up to the police.
- Now, will you let go of that rope? - It'll be very foolish of you.
After you told everybody in the village that there's a woman living in the lighthouse.
Whatever I said on the shore had nothing to do with you.
I give you my word of honour.
Doesn't matter now, anyway.
Please let me talk to you? Perhaps I can help you?
You can - by letting go of that rope.
I'm sorry, I can't let you leave. At least, not yet.
It means a great deal to me, that you'll stay here.
It's also important that Kristan doesn't find out I left the island.
So you're afraid of him, but you needn't be afraid of me.
I can't tell you any more now, but you must trust me.
Nothing will happen to you as long as I'm here.
Now please go back to the lighthouse and forget what happened tonight.
I'll join you shortly.
All right.
Shake on it.
You know, for a moment you had me scared.
Good night.
[FOOTSTEPS ON THE SHINGLE]
Then, you didn't leave me?!
No.

Harbourmaster Weber.
Morning, Kleber.
Sorry to have got you out of bed so early.
But this is important. Sit down.
I understand that you were at the tavern the night before last?
The night before last... er... yes - that's right.
Did you notice a man sitting at the next table to yours? A stranger.
Yes, I think I did notice somebody.
I'm asking you because that stranger was the English spy...
...who got away from us last night.
$0!
Can you give me a description of the man? Think hard.
Uh... now, let's see... he was, uh...
- ...no, he wasn't... yes, he was! - What?
No, he wasn't.
What colour hair did he have?
I think it was dark.
The waiter who served him has just told me he was sure it was fair.
Now, I may be wrong.
To tell you the truth, I didn't pay much attention to the man. I was, er...
...kind of, er, preoccupied.
In other words, you couldn't be sure of anything.
No, I really couldn't.
Everybody we've questioned so far has described the man differently.
Has no one any eyes?!
I don't go round... I don't go round staring at people, unless...
- ...wait! Albers. - Who?
Yes, Albers. He was there before I arrived.
He probably had a good look at him.
And where can I find this... "Albers"?
He's at the lighthouse. I sent him to help out the keeper for a few days.
Thank you very much, Herr Kleber.
I certainly hope you're right about Albers.
I'm pretty sure.
Phone down to the pier and have the boat ready.
[FOOTSTEPS]
Good morning.
- Why don't you clean this? - I did.
Do it again.
You'll have to get the ladder up on the hoist to clean the windows.
So grease the pulleys before you go down.
All right.

- Who is it? - It's me. Kristan.
There's a motor boat heading for the island.
You stay in your room. I'll see what they want.

- Is Albers around? - Up at the light.
Want to ask him a few questions. Get him to come down.
[FOOTSTEPS ON THE SHINGLE]
Albers!
Come down. The police want to see you.
[DOOR SHUTTING AND FOOTSTEPS]
- Albers? - That's me.
I'm going to ask you to remember somebody you saw at the tavern.
The night before you left for this lighthouse.
I want you to think hard.
A lot depends on your answers.
I'll try to.
Do you remember a man, sitting at the next table, facing you?
- Alone. - Yes. Yes, I do.
Can you describe him?
Sure I can.
Go ahead.
Uh... he was about thirty-four years of age.
Had a small, fair moustache.
You're sure about the moustache?
- Positive. - Go on.
Uh... he was wearing a grey suit and, er... a dark necktie.
And what about his hair. What colour?
Light brown.
And the colour of his eyes?
Uh... they were light... um... blue or grey.
Was he heavily built?
- Well--- - About your weight?
Just a moment.
You've a pretty good memory, haven't you, Albers?
That is... if you are sure of everything?
Sure as anything.
If your information leads to the man's arrest you'll get the reward.
20,000 marks.
That ought to give you an idea that we want him pretty badly.
I'll say it does!
You'll hear from us when we get our hands on him.
I hope you do.
So do we. Another thing...
...we're looking for the body of a young woman who...
...jumped off the pier a couple of nights ago.
She probably drowned and was swept out to sea by the tides.
Keep your eyes open for her.
- Yes. - That's all.

What is it?
I can tell you, Herr Oberst - everything.
You will speak when you are asked.
Well?
We found him in one of the lorries that just came in.
He was tied up in the back.
I've been in it since the day before yesterday.
Silence!
Goon
He was gagged and tied up with these.
But please, Herr Oberst! I can explain everything.
Only answer my questions.
- And be brief and to the point. - Yes, Herr Oberst.
Your name - and where do you come from?
Erich Albers.
I'm from Warnsdorff.
Warnsdorff? That's 400 miles from here.
How did you get into that lorry?
I was on me way home - taking a short cut across a goods yard...
...when a man comes up behind me and knocks me down.
Did you recognise him?
I'd never seen him before.
Stay as you are! Goon
When I came to it was pitch dark and I was moving.
I tried to get my hands and feet free but it was no use.
And the gag was nearly choking me to death.
- Had you any money on you? - A few marks.
In me trousers.
Yes.
It wasn't money he was after.
Have you any personal enemy who may have taken revenge for something?
Never had a fight or quarrel in rne life.
Strange!
Tell me...
...who could identify you in your home town?
Someone who could be reached on the telephone.
Herr Weber.
He's the harbourmaster.
Connect me with Harbourmaster Kleber at Warnsdorff.
Yes. Speaking.
Oh, yes, Herr Oberst.
What?
His name's Erich Albers. Says he's from Warnsdorff and that you know him.
Oh, yes, I know Albers.
But he's working on Westerrode lighthouse.
Are you sure?
Of course I'm sure.
He was seen there early this morning by Group Leader Jurgens.
Thank you very much, Herr Harbourmaster.
I don't know what your game is but we're going to find out in a hurry!
Huh?
Herr Kleber tells me that Albers is working on Westerrode lighthouse.
That's right. I mean...
...that's where I'm supposed to be.
You're lying!
No, Herr Oberst! I'm telling you the truth.
Wait!
I've a letter from the Harbourmaster right here.
- I... had it right here. - That's enough.
Get on the next train for Warnsdorff. Take this man with you.
Make a full report to the authorities there, and turn him over to them.
That's all.

Show me.
They belong to Albers.
- Give it me! - I won't.
Let go, Kristan!
You're hurting me. Let go!
Where did you find them?
I told you. Lying on the floor.
- You're lying. - Suppose I am!
Where did you find them? Tell me the truth!
I'll tell you.
They're mine.
I hid them away when the policeman came.
- Now will you give them back to me? - You're still lying.
That Albers. Or whatever his name is.
He's the spy the police are looking for.
The police are looking for me, too.
And still you sheltered me.
They're not looking for you. They think you drowned.

His gun! He must have a gun.

Wolf Kristan!
Ha! You old pirate. How are you?
We've just come from way up the coast.
I had no idea you were keeper of this old torch until I saw it in the book.
Naturally, I had to say hello!
Welcome, Kapitan Borkmann.
Leutnant Giessler.
Wolf Kristan.
My Chief Engineer during the World War number one.
Kapitan Borkmann has always spoken very highly of you.
Who's this man?
My helper, Kapitan.
Erich Albers. At your service, Kapitan.
Shouldn't you be in the Service?
Big, strapping fellow like you.
I was found unfit for active duty on account of my heart.
Heart, eh? One wouldn't think it.
I regret it very deeply.
Sit down, Kapitan. Leutnant.
We can only stay a moment or two. Got to get back to the ship.
What is she this time, Kapitan?
Oh, just a smelly old fishing tub - but she's got good teeth.
Plenty going on around here, so I understand?
I'm sorry, Kapitan...
...that I cannot offer you a drink. But we haven't got a drop on the lighthouse.
Aha! How's that?
Got it from a British skipper we took aboard.
It's excellent old scotch.
After you.
- Prosit! - Prosit!
Here. Giessler doesn't drink.
No thank you, Kapitan. I'm on duty.
Oh, yes... I forgot.
I suppose the young lady wouldn't care for a little sip?
Now, come, come, Kristan.
We saw her as we were coming up to the island.
Somebody wearing a skirt.
I presume it wasn't one of you!
You're quite right, Kapitan. There is a young lady here.
- She's my fiancee. - Your... fiancee?
She's never been on a lighthouse, so... she's spending the day with me.
So... but is that quite in accord with the regulations?
Especially at times like these?
I suppose not, but she kept after me...
...until finally Herr Kristan gave his permission.
I'm taking her back right after supper.
Ah, well. We were all young once!
Well, why don't you introduce us to your young lady?
We won't bite her!
[DOOR OPENING AND FOOTSTEPS]
I want you to meet Kapitan Borkmann.
My fiancee.
You have my best wishes. Both of you.
Thank you, Kapitan.
You know you're breaking the regulations, young lady?
Still... love's a good excuse!
Well, we've got to get back to the ship.
Good bye, Krista n.
I hope we meet again, soon.
[FOOTSTEPS]
Thank you.
- Both of you. - Don't mention it.
Now that we're all friends and understand each other...
...hand over that packet.
Yaargh!

Good work.
What are you going to do?
Light that lamp and bring it over here.

[CHAINS RATTLING]
Perfect!
Are you going to put him down there?
I can't leave him here. Someone might come.
You'd better come too. I'll need the light.

[CHAINS RATTLING]
Take it easy. Everything will be all right.
Look - you're hurt!
Yes, he caught me with his hook.
You mustn't leave it like that.
Come upstairs.

Over there.
[FOOTSTEPS AND BANGING]
[WATER BEING POURED AND BANGING]
- I can do it. - Don't be silly.
He was after the artery with his hook.
He was out to kill you.
He'd have killed me the first time on the rope if it hadn't been for you.
I still have to thank you for that.
I haven't thanked you either, for what you did for me.
For you... and also for myself!
For yourself?
Yes, you see... I'm not what I'm supposed to be, either.
Oh, I realise now you didn't believe my story about being Kristen's niece...
...but how much do you really know about me?
I think, everything.
Your name is Marie Durand - you escaped from the Waldau Concentration Camp.
- Right? - How did you know?
I heard about it in the village before I came out...
...and put two and two together.
And you still didn't tell those two men.
Why should I put my own neck in a sling?
You see... I'm on the run, too!
On my way back to England.
Then you are English?
Yes. Anthony Hale.
Tony, to you.
What are you doing in Germany?
I mean, here - in the lighthouse.
Oh, that's too long a story to tell now - but I'll tell you one thing.
Everything's arranged for me to leave at midnight tonight.
- The lighthouse? - Yes, and Germany.
For England?
Unforeseen accidents barred, of course.
Would you like to come along?
- Oh! Like'? - You'll be taking an awful chance.
Oh, but what a chance!
To get away from this.
To get to England.
We will. You keep your chin up.
[CHAINS RATTLING AND MOANING]
Listen to me, Kristan - that isn't going to help you any.
You're staying where you are till after we've left the island.
That'll be very soon.
But I promise you, before we go I'll see that you're able to work yourself free.
Marta!
Why won't you look at me?
You're in danger, Marta. I can see it.
Water... water all around you!
You don't want to help me!
Your husband... and you don't want to help me!
You think I am mad?
I know it's because he's your lover!
You betrayed me! You cheat!
Cheat! Cheat!
I've got to look after the light.
You'd better get your coat and come too.
It's a long time to wait till midnight.

Come here! Out there - that light!
"Auf"... "Wiedersehen".
"Prosit".
"Bride"... "and"... "groom".
"Borkmann".
- Borkmann? - Yes.
That's very touching of him.
I'd be much happier if he decided to spend tonight far away from this island.
Doesn't seem to be in any hurry, either.
Now, then - keep your chin up.
Alright. I'll keep thinking of midnight.
Well, we still have twenty minutes before we start.
Tell me something about yourself?
How you you happened to run foul of the Gestapo and so on.
It's all very fantastic.
Still doesn't seem quite real to me.
And what were the charges?
They called it spying.
What really happened was that I was stupid enough to take pictures in a forbidden zone.
They wouldn't believe anything I said.
Finally they took me away and put me in the concentration camp.
How long were you held there?
Nearly three months.
Then, one night I hid in the lorry that came once a month to bring provisions.
Not bad.
It was a chance and it worked.
At least, so far.
Remember... chin.
- Harbourmaster Kleber. - I came as quick as I could--
- Albers! What are you doing here? - I know - it can't be me because I'm not here!
One moment!
Are you positive this man is Erich Albers?
Why, yes!
And this is the man you told to go to the lighthouse?
It's him, all right.
I told you the truth.
Does Kristan know you personally?
No, sir.
Then someone is impersonating you.
The same man who attacked you is using your identity.
Hello! Marine radio station.
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
Marine radio station. Leutnant Gunther speaking.
This is Group Leader Jurgens.
I believe we have located the English spy, Anthony Hale.
Hale? Are you sure?
Yes.
I'll wireless Kapitan Borkmann to proceed to the island at once.
- Is your boat ready to go out? - Yes, it is.
Come on! This time our friend won't get away.
[BOAT ENGINE]
A message from Shore Station, sir.
[BOAT NOISES]
We're going back to the lighthouse.
- Hard to starboard. - Hard to starboard.

Bride and groom, eh?
Well, I'm going to give them a wedding present!

What's that?
That's where you sleep...
...Marta.
She's buried there?
Under the flowers.
He killed her there.
He loved her more than anything in the world.
Because he couldn't bear anyone else to love her, he---
You don't know what you're saying!
Let me go!
Please, Kristan. Let me go!
I'll never let you go again.
Now, you're going back there.
[BANGING]
- Stop, Kristan! Listen to me! - No, no...
Even in death I knew you'd come back to torture me!
No more!
[DIGGING AND MANIACAL LAUGHTER]

Any signs of him?
Not a thing.
It's three minutes past midnight now. He must be around here somewhere?
Hmm. Try circling the lighthouse once.
Maybe he's the other side?

It's the Englishman. I'll say he's in trouble!
- We're still five miles off, Herr Kapitan. - Right.
Forward gun ready on the lighthouse.
Aim lights.
And keep a lookout for enemy craft.
