Night Train to Munich Page #9

hang about on ropes, I hope.

I'm not, but they may. There's a

narrow road leads right to the top.

- What's over the top?

- Switzerland.

- Anything in between?

- 6,000-feet drop.

- Well, how can

we, uh - - Skip it.

Skip it?

- There's a car following us!

- Is there? Well, here we go.

Don't let them get away!

I'll have to change the wheel!

Watch the road, Charters.

Hello! Anybody here? Caldicott.

Anybody around?

Switzerland.

Good morning to you, sir. Good morning.

- Are you in charge here?

- Yes. There's only me.

- I want to cross to Switzerland.

- Now, sir?

- Yes, now.

- But we're at war.

I had orders yesterday

to close the teleferic.

My orders come from a higher source.

Higher than the chief of police at Maxberg?

- Gestapo headquarters at Munich.

- Oh.

I have been instructed to show this

lady and gentleman safely out of Germany.

I better ring Christopher.

Yes. Right away.

- There's a car coming. Looks like them.

- There are five of them altogether.

- Keep an eye on them.

- How are the goats, Christopher?

Yes, thank you, Christopher.

I got it. And the butter.

Do you want to be dismissed for incompetence?

They'll be leaving in about

two minutes, Christopher.

I shall require to see your papers,

sir. Have you got your passports?

How long does this take to cross the valley?

- About four minutes.

- Once it's in midair, can it be stopped?

Why, yes, sir, if anyone wanted to stop it.

Will you follow me to the office?

This way, please.

- Can you see them?

- No, but I can hear the engine.

- How does this thing work?

- That shouldn't be difficult.

- Well, how?

- Yes, obviously, this starts it.

Yes?

- Yes. This is the speed regulator.

- Speed regulator, right. Get in quick.

All of you! Quick! Caldicott!

- What about you?

- I'll start it and then jump on.

They're here!

- Come on. Jump in. - Yes, but

they-they'll stop us halfway across.

Get in, will you!

Come on! Quickly!

There it is!

Stand aside!

Olson, go around back!

The tlfriquel

They're potting at us! Duck down!

Get down there and draw his fire.

I'll get in over the roof.

Right.

Come here and stop the machinery! Come back!
