Journey Into Fear Page #3

---

I'll get safely back to America, don't you worry.

It is always the same. We are the only ones in a hurry, so we are the last.

If we miss the boat we can sue the government.

- Mademoiselle...

Yes, we are leaving tonight for Batoumi.

This man is your husband?

We are partners.

My car is at your disposal.

Good night, Mr. Graham.

- Good night.

The Talisia belongs to a private company

which fronts a weekly service to small cargo boats between here and Batoumi.

I'm afraid it is little better than a floating slum!

Yet they carry a few passengers, twelve at most.

We have checked the list on the sailing... Every one of them is harmless.

What do you mean, go by boat? I've got a reservation on the morning train.

My dear Graham, if you are to leave on that or any other train,

you would be dead before you reached Batoumi.

This is much the best obvious way of getting you out of Turkey.

The middle of the Black Sea would be just as safe

as your own office.

Oh I don't know... That's quite a decision!

Graham... I'm not asking you to decide anything,

I'm telling you what you must do.

You are, I must remind you, of great value to my country.

In your present state of health you must allow me to protect my country's interests in my own way.

I do not wish to harass you,

but if you do not care to follow my instructions,

I shall have no alternative but to have you arrested.

I'll have an order issued for your deportation

and have you put on board The Talisia under guard.

- I hope I make myself clear...

- Quite clear!

Would you like to handcuff me now?

You'll just have time if you hurry.

- Well, what...

- ... Arranges the best way for both of you.

- Now look here, Colonel...

- Haki.

- Colonel Haki...

You two know each other?

- How do you do? - Oh, yes.

What about my...

I've just got to see... I've got to talk to her!

That man Kopeikine, he's with her at the hotel now...

Putting her mind at rest.

Haki thought he'd fool the Nazis

by getting me out of Turkey

through the Black Sea.

He didn't even let me

call you up to say goodbye.

That girl Josette

had nothing to do with it.

She and her partner just

happened to be leaving on the same boat.

I thought you were going by train, Mr. Graham?

Maybe the police thought the sea air would do him good.

Come on, let's get our baggage through the customs.

- That's one thing I won't have to worry about...

Howard, wait!

I came to say goodbye.

Ain't it nice for everything to have been arranged so quick?

Do you approve of my going on this boat?

I do, Howard.

By the way, have you a gun in your luggage?

I haven't got any luggage!

Then you better take this...

I picked it up on my way to see your wife. It is completely loaded.
