Secret Agent Page #3

Look, let's understand

each other.

Dozens of people have come here

to do something worthwhile...

...There's no use of you standing

there looking middle aged and...

...bleeding about safety...

- All right, all right.

How do we start?

"I suppose R told you why we're"

here for.

A little. He said you'd tell me

the rest.

Hello.

- How did you get here?

My dear friend. How do you do?

Ashenden! Where have you been all

the time? I haven't seen you...

Yes, yes. Take it easy, General.

How did you get in?

I was sitting on door all the

time, but...

...And I was knocking and barking

but you did not hear.

Too busy in company of beautiful

woman... Lady... Girl...

You know this man, do you?

I believe he's a swindler. He

followed me around the hotel...

...trying to show me some silly

trick with pennies.

Very nice trick.

Your wife?

- How do you know she's my wife?

How do I? Very simple.

Passports in table.

Each one inside each other one.

Just like no other.

- You know him?

Of course I do. He's one of our

colleagues, aren't you General?

General Pompeliu Moctezuma de la

Bella del Conde y de Lonbus...

...as I said before.

I may as well tell you at once

that this lady is not my wife.

Then what?

She has been issued officially to

"me by our old man R."

Issued? What do you mean?

Issued like a passport?

"Or you mean given to you? "

This is too much.

And who has given her to you?

Will you tell me who?

"Maybe perhaps it's R!"

"This R Foul! Merde!"

Incompetent man!

It's awful! This is too much!

For you beautiful woman!

And what for me?! Nothing!

Nobody! Nothing!

Caramba! Caramba!

For you all this!

And nothing for me!

No, no, no.

I resign.

Brodie was a Bachelor, that's why

Ashenden has to be married.

It makes it much safer,

that's all.

This girl has been issued to me

as part as my disguise.

I resign.

She's nothing to me. I'm nothing

to her. Can't you understand?

Maybe perhaps this lie is true?

Well, of course it's true.

What do you mean?

Maybe in this case, affection of

beautiful lady are free for me?

Absolutely, as far as I'm

concerned.

Can't you do anything about it?

Do I look like I enjoy tricks?

General, no love making...

We can't afford to take risks.

The Swiss Police will be on us

in no time.

We have to move on.

What have you done since you got

here, anyway?

I am too much of a gentleman to

tell this in front of lady.

I dare say.

Let me remind you we're here for

a purpose. We start tomorrow.

Our first job is in a village in

the mountains called Langenthal.

In Langenthal there's a church.

In that church we'll find the

"organist who R says is been..."

...working for the Germans but
