A Lady Without Passport Page #4

Whatever you wish.

Joseph...

if you'd ask me

to stay,

that would outweigh

everything.

Marianne.

Ask me to stay.

Marianne.

Don't go.

We'll find some way.

I'll see you

in a minute.

Go away.

I like to watch you.

You better learn

to do as you're told.

In my family, the men

give the commands,

and if they are

not obeyed-

what happens?

Dear marianne,

each time i see you,

you look lovelier,

more desirable.

I have wonderful news-

a change of plans.

We'll leave

tonight at once.

I've changed

my mind.

I'm not going.

No?

No.

Gombush?

He clutters up

my life.

Because of him, i must

leave a day earlier.

Because of him, i must be

deprived of your company.

I would hate him

if he were not

a member

of the united states

immigration service.

You're lying.

Why do you suppose

he sought you out?

Why does he try

to worm information?

Get out.

You have only

to ask mr. Gombush,

if that is

his real name.

Joseph,

are you police?

Marianne, what-

answer me.

No, i'm not

a policeman.

I was going

to tell-

you deal

in technicalities.

You're an immigration

inspector.

Marianne,

listen to me.

I came to havana

to get palinov,

but when i

met you,

something

happened.

I told you

the truth to-

marianne!

Harry.

Sit down.

If this letter

were mailed,

there'd be no

search for you.

I'll send jos.

Wait for him.

Tomorrow,

mail the letter.

Good night,

mr. Gombush.

Ohh.

Walk over there.

Push your face

through that wall.

Drop it!

You're gonna talk.

But, seor,

i do not know

what this is

all about.

What is it,

seor?

Get the police

- lieutenant carfagno.

S, seor.

Where's palinov?

I do not know.

I swear by

my mother, seor.

He goes tonight.

That i know.

How? As always, by airplane.

From where?

I do not know,

seor.

They-they speak

only of the airfield.

I have never

been there.

If i knew, seor, believe me, i would-

i don't

believe you!

What's the pilot's name?

I've heard them

speak of a seor james.

That we check.

Out!

The other way!

Hold it!

Operator?

Emergency.

Get me mr. Westlake

of the immigration

service in miami.

Karczag. Pete karczag, immigration.

Mr. Westlake?

Karczag, sir.

Palinov and the aliens

are flying out of here

sometime tonight.

The pilot's name

is james.

Hold it, pete.

Jack, that civil

aeronautics folder.

A licensed pilot

named james.

Right.

Know anything about what

kind of a job they fly?

What kind

of a plane is it?

What kind of a plane?

It flies.

It flies.

Thanks.

With that kind

of a load,

it'd have to be a twin engine job.

Hang on, pete, till

we check on that pilot.

Let's see.

1, 2, 3.

Maximum range,

full load.

His home field

will have to be

right

in our district.

Here it is.

Archer delby james,

based right here

in miami.

Twin motor plane,

scenic flights,

flying lessons,

private ferrying jobs.

Out of the city

about half the time.

Plane number

nc54860.

Get through to the south

miami airport. Quick.

Right.

On the nose, pete.

A wrap-up if i

ever saw one.

It better be

a wrap-up.

I'll be back tonight.

You... come on!

That's right.

James.

Plane number

nc54860. right.

Took off 4 hours ago,

didn't file a flight plan.

Yeah.

No idea

where he's going.

Thanks.

Hold it a minute.

He's in flight to cuba for the pickup.

Time's like a dream.

He's our man.

We want him.

Right.

Take this guy,

will you?

And there's a dead man upstairs,

the one who

followed me.

Adelante.

Palinov is

flying out tonight.

Do you know where?

It's probably a private

airfield somewhere.

Can we cover them?

But there are dozens

on the island, seor,

maybe hundreds.

It could be

in a clearing

or a strip through

a sugarcane field.

I can get you

the plane number.

Of what use

if we don't know

where to look?

But i've got to get them

before they take off.

Why not

in the states, seor?

There you get them

on two charges-

illegal entry

and smuggling.

You get not only

palinov,

but the people

he's smuggling in.

Yeah. I thought

of that, too.

Want to have

a look?

cmo no?

Have i forgotten

anything? Check me.

No, sir.

The minute that plane

sets down anywhere

from south carolina

to texas, we've got him.

I figure they'll

take off from cuba

in time to cross the

united states coastline

before daybreak.

An early morning

landing in-

border patrol.

Westlake speaking.

This is east savannah,

georgia, municipal airport.

That airplane you're

studying about-

well, she's been standing

right here on the field

ever since 5:
30

this afternoon.

Sure, i'm sure.

Nc54860.

Hold it.

I don't get this

at all.

Instead of flying

south to cuba,

james has flown north

to savannah, georgia.

Well, maybe he's-

any passengers?

Oh, no, sir, there

were no passengers.

James flew in alone

and headed up to town

like he always does.

I expect he'll be

hitting the spots

for the next

couple of days.

Ok. Thanks.

We've fallen

flat on our faces.

James isn't our man.

James, my friend,

good to see you again.

How was the flight?

Like all of them.

Flew the other plane

to savannah,

left it on the field

like a sitting duck,

then picked up

this one.

Who's gonna shepherd

this flock?

I am.

Huh?

Personal reasons.

Oh.

Please, will

you all board the plane?

This is your pilot.

You are now going

to the united states

without all

the annoying delays

of more prosaic travel

across foreign borders,

without the worries

of custom, health,

or immigration

departments.

Will you all make

yourself comfortable?

You'll have to sit

on your baggage.

We have no seats.

That's right.

A twin engine job.

Pilot and plane

registration unknown.

Carrying 3 men

and 3 women,

descriptions

on teletype.

Please impound plane

and all passengers.

Thank you.

Maybe if we had time

to get these sketches

to every airfield-

well, they've got

the descriptions.

Have you any idea

how many planes

are gonna land in this territory today?

Our only hope is that they'll

come down on a small field

where the attendants know

every plane and every pilot.

But wouldn't they land at a larger field

for just

that reason?

I wonder.

There's one disadvantage

to breaking the law.

It gives you

a sense of guilt.

Your tendency is to be

overcautious and hide.

Now, put yourself

in that pilot's place.

At a big field, there

are too many people.

One of them might be a smart

law enforcement officer.

Remember,

you're a smuggler,

and too many people

watching you

makes you uneasy.

At least i hope

you're uneasy.

If not, you and your load of aliens

are going

to land here,

and there's not

a thing in the world

we can do about it.

My friends,

soon you will be in the

land of your choosing.

Now, there are

a few instructions.

First, the papers we have

so carefully prepared-

you better

check them.

Social security,

driver's licenses,

credit plate,

and bankbook.

Uh-huh.

Everybody got them?

Yes.

Yes.

Good. Now as

to destination-
