I was in a hurry and had to get something.
Mr. Wormold, please attend.
Now, think of a message you might be
sending to me, and we'll put it into code.
Received your esteemed order
of the 23rd inst.
Really, Wormold,
you'll have to do better than that.
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.
Come in.
You wanted me, sir?
Just a gossip, 59200.
All going well?
I think
we've got the Caribbean network sewn up.
Just put me in the picture.
I think
you'll find the West Indies over here, sir.
I always mix up the East
and the West Indies.
Haiti is here, sir.
Here in Martinique, we are working
with the French Deuxieme Bureau.
- Only up to a point.
- Of course, sir.
Here I am, in Kingston.
And here is Cuba.
I'm not quite so happy about 59200l5.
- Who's he?
- Our man in Havana, sir.
He hasn't sent in any reports yet,
or recruited a single sub-agent.
What type is he?
Commercial. In the import business.
I trust he's a man of substance, Hawthorne.
Small men are worse than useless.
Oh, definitely, sir. Definitely.
One of those old-fashioned merchants.
- But you haven't had any word from him?
- Only one cable, sir...
asking us to pay his membership
at the country club.
- I rather hesitated about that.
- Why?
As a matter of fact...
it's about 10 times as expensive
as the best London club.
Haunt of millionaires.
That's exactly where our man should be.
Right place for contacts.
Don't be penny-wise, Hawthorne.
That's not the way these old merchant
adventurers built up their business.
- Do you read Kipling?
- No, sir.
- How does he communicate?
- I taught him the book code, sir.
I gave him Tales from Shakespeare.
He seems to be using it for reading only.
Send him a sharp cable, Hawthorne.
Men like that who exercise authority,
understand authority.
Take this down.
Following from "C."
Absolutely essential recruit agents
without delay.
Send names you propose immediately
for checking.
Perhaps I'm being too severe, Hawthorne?
The country club cost us
Five hundred?
Add this, Hawthorne.
Unless for recruiting agents, what other
possible use has the country club?
Come on.
Father!
What are you doing here?
I met my fellow members.
- Isn't she lovely?
- Take care with her.
Excuse me, sir. May I help you?
No, thank you. I am a member.
My name's Wormold.
- Oh, Miss Milly's father.
- That's right.
Sorry, sir.
I did it! Did you see me?
Oh, it's such a great feeling.
It's a difficult situation for any ministry.
A full report has been sent through
to the government.
Forgive me.
I couldn't help overhearing what you said.
Perhaps we could have a word privately.
Haven't I met you somewhere before?
