But he hasn't..

I mean I don't think he has got very much money

He'll borrow

If he can't borrow?

Sure,he'll shoot himself

You mean you

That would be murder

Don't you feel you are murdering him

That's because you are jealous

Mad with blind less stupidity

You've no right of I have giving you any cause

I've always been loyal to you, it is wicked of you not to trust me

Wicked,petulant and stupid

What shall I do?

Don't you see there is only one thing you can do

Send him a letter saying you've been paid,a receipt

All right

Peter Petrovich you will send it?

You make me very happy

Cpt Ignatoff

I've was told of your loss 80000,they tell me,is that true?

Yes,Sir

Can you pay?

I'll settle it,Sir

I'm not going to read you a lecture, you know your duty as an officer

Yes,Sir

You've 24 hours to settle it in

Yes

Thank You

Ivanovska

Take this round to Cpt Ignatoff

Come in

For Cpt Ignatoff a paper from Brioukow

The captain is not in

All right I'll see that he gets it

Cpt Ignatoff.How nice

Isn't fascinating a lovely dance

There is lot of pretty girls

Forgive an old woman for interfering but I shouldn't stand there if I were you

What do you mean?

You needn't pretend with me can't you see that you are upsetting that poor girl?

I must see her for a minute

Go in there I'll send her to you

Go on

How are you all?

Sit down

No,please don't disturb yourself Mr Brioukow

There's to be wedding bells in three weeks time

No wonder the child looks radiant

What a lovely dress,so neat isn't it?

So unusual.Oh my dear I must tell you

No.Not for masculine ears Mr Brioukow

My dear,wasn't it awful

Mr Brioukow,I'm going to ask you to allow me to steal Natasha for a few moments

There is a very old friend of mine is dying to meet her

Come,Darling,will you

What did you want?

I just want to thank you and say Good Bye

I shall be off tomorrow

You are not going off to the front

They don't change officers at the Ministry for Supplies too often

Don't they

Well I've got my orders

Have you really been transferred?

Yes

Transferred

I couldn't come without seeing you,I know

But I was worried,I was afraid perhaps I made you unhappy

Unhappy? Oh no

Oh,good

Take care of yourself

You've got everything in front of you,Anna

Are you trying to persuade me to marry Brioukow?

It's quite unnecessary,I shall marry him

Oh,I see

Good

Is that all you came to tell me?

Yes,that's about all

Good bye

Good Bye Natasha

Good Bye

Natasha

I am glad you come

You see you detect it sooner or later

Natasha is not going to marry you

She is going to marry me

Natasha

Go away now,Natasha

Of course if you would like to fight

At your will?

No

I'm no gentleman

I'm a tradesman

I always pay my debts

Madame Sabine,excuse me,you've just brought Natasha to see me

You've said something a little while ago

about someone whom you thought may be able to help me

Yes,dear boy

I wonder perhaps after all

You mean you want it now?

Yes.Is it possible?

I think I can arrange it

Could you?

Yes,I'm sure I can

Can you be at my apartment in half an hour?

Yes.Thank you.

There you are,Sir

That's how they pass on the information

Through the beggar

No wonder we draw blank at the post office and the telephone

This is their last message

Genius isn't it?

How did it work?

If you look carefully you'll see the

the 8 underlined then the 5 then the 4

That's just the order for the offensive, 8th army 5th and the 4th corps

I've..Good work Polonsky

Congratulations

I'll see this deaf and dump beggar

What's your name?

What's your name?

He's deaf and dumb,Sir

Got it

Deaf and dumb?

We'll soon have you as eloquent as a tomcat in live

We hang spies here but if you tell us everything

everything,mind you, about the whole system and everyone concerned in it

I'll give you your life,on my word of honor

But you must make up your mind at once

If you won't talk the other fellow will

Now which is it to be?Hanged or talk.

I'll talk

I'm so sorry to be so late, but you do understand

Of course my dear boy,after all this is a matter of life and death,isn't it?

Yes

-Won't you sit down -Thank you

-Cigarette? -No thank you

Where is your friend? This fellow who lends money

My friend? Oh,of course my friend.

Isn't he coming?

No,

I thought you said

There

Soothing,isn't it?

It's only a paper and yet it means everything

Life,career,and settling down with the sweet girl

And she is such a sweet girl,Natasha

And now you can both live happily ever afterward

I don't know how to thank you

How can we arrange it?

I can give you a bill and I can pay you 2000 from my salary now

and 3/4 when I am promoted

You need to worry about the bill

and you won't have to give up any of your salary either

How do you mean?

I strive to help you,my dear boy

I want to feel that you can confide in me

It's like how you get on at home

and in your work

My work?

Yes,it's must be very interesting

I should like to understand something about it

I see

You are in charge of the ammunition supplies,aren't you?

I should be interested to know details of that

You would like to see the documents,perhaps

Oh,no I just want first hand information

Such as what?

No,that big offensive of the 5th army, where are they concentrating the supplies?

Fifth army

Cpt Ignatoff,if you do anything

I should say that you came here to offer me your services

and that you are in my pay

Operator

Your Anna Steinbach

My name is Anna Sabine

Indeed,you are under arrest

Ignatoff?

What are you doing here?

I was just telephoning the staff to get the woman arrested

I am very sorry but I have order to place under arrest anyone I find here

Cpt Ignatoff.You are accused of high treason.Do you plead guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty,Sir

Case for the Crown

Cpt Ignatoff.Did you know the late Anna Steinbach alias Sabine?

Yes,Sir.I knew her as an acquaintance

Was your connection with her more than just an acquaintance?

No,Sir.

Where you not you at the Casino on Tuesday on the Red Cross ball on Thursday?

Yes ,Sir

What happened?

At the casino I lost a considerable amount of money

Madame Sabine came up and asked to help me

What did you say?

I didn't take it seriously

And at the ball?

I asked her to help me

At the casino you refused her help and at the ball you asked for her help

Why did you change your attitude?

Something happened in the meantime

Something in my private life that changed my outlook on the whole question

You asked Anna Steinbach help at about one o'clock in the morning

Yes

This turning point in your private life happened about

At Midnight

How is it then at 10 o'clock in the evening you said to General Kovrin

that you were sure you would pay off your gambling debts

That's not what I said to General Kovrin,Sir

what I said to him was that I would be able to settle my debts

What did you mean by the word settle?

With that answer I intended to kill myself

-and later? - Later I changed my mind
