- Of course I did, don't be silly.
The part that concern you says...
to round off you new character.
What else does it say?
Your wife comes a fighting stock.
A regular fighting time factor.
I look to you to direct her in
the right channel.
Be as canuvial as possible.
"Yours, R."
"What does canuvial mean?"
Luxurious.
What does that mean?
Speak English.
Affectionate. In a big way.
So, what do you think of your new
husband?
I'm incredibly surprised.
- Thank you.
I've read your books for so many
years, I thought you were older.
I'm glad about it, that's all.
That's very kind of you.
What do you think of me?
I don't know. I'll tell you when
you finish putting on your face.
Why did you really take this job?
I wanted to do it.
Well, you might have been a nurse
or something.
Me? I'm no ministering Angel.
I'm in Switzerland for a thrill.
- Think I'm gonna give it to you?
No. You're the means to an end.
- The end? Being?
Excitement, Big risks, Danger.
Maybe being a little...
This sort of thing maybe not as
amusing as you think.
Look, let's understand
each other.
Dozens of people have come here
to do something worthwhile...
...There's no use of you standing
there looking middle aged and...
...bleeding about safety...
- All right, all right.
How do we start?
"I suppose R told you why we're"
here for.
A little. He said you'd tell me
the rest.
Hello.
- How did you get here?
My dear friend. How do you do?
Ashenden! Where have you been all
the time? I haven't seen you...
Yes, yes. Take it easy, General.
How did you get in?
I was sitting on door all the
time, but...
...And I was knocking and barking
but you did not hear.
Too busy in company of beautiful
woman... Lady... Girl...
You know this man, do you?
I believe he's a swindler. He
followed me around the hotel...
...trying to show me some silly
trick with pennies.
Very nice trick.
Your wife?
- How do you know she's my wife?
How do I? Very simple.
Passports in table.
Each one inside each other one.
Just like no other.
- You know him?
Of course I do. He's one of our
colleagues, aren't you General?
General Pompeliu Moctezuma de la
Bella del Conde y de Lonbus...
...as I said before.
I may as well tell you at once
that this lady is not my wife.
Then what?
She has been issued officially to
"me by our old man R."
Issued? What do you mean?
Issued like a passport?
"Or you mean given to you? "
This is too much.
And who has given her to you?
Will you tell me who?
"Maybe perhaps it's R!"
"This R Foul! Merde!"
Incompetent man!
It's awful! This is too much!
For you beautiful woman!
And what for me?! Nothing!
Nobody! Nothing!
Caramba! Caramba!
For you all this!
And nothing for me!
No, no, no.
I resign.
Brodie was a Bachelor, that's why
Ashenden has to be married.
It makes it much safer,
that's all.
This girl has been issued to me
as part as my disguise.
I resign.
She's nothing to me. I'm nothing
to her. Can't you understand?
Maybe perhaps this lie is true?
Well, of course it's true.
What do you mean?
Maybe in this case, affection of
beautiful lady are free for me?
Absolutely, as far as I'm
concerned.
Can't you do anything about it?
Do I look like I enjoy tricks?
General, no love making...
We can't afford to take risks.
The Swiss Police will be on us
in no time.
We have to move on.
What have you done since you got
here, anyway?
I am too much of a gentleman to
tell this in front of lady.
I dare say.
Let me remind you we're here for
a purpose. We start tomorrow.
Our first job is in a village in
the mountains called Langenthal.
In Langenthal there's a church.
In that church we'll find the
"organist who R says is been..."
...working for the Germans but
is now on our side.
When we get in touch with him...
He'll put us on the track to
find the man we're after.
What do I do?
Nothing. You stay here and wait
in case there's a phone call.
Thank you. That should be a good
start.
Mind removing your friend so I
can go on with my dressing?
Go on, General.
Well?
- Well?
How does Mrs. Ashenden look now?
This has all been done for your
special benefit.
Very kind of you, I'm sure.
You're fond of yourself, aren't
you?
Married life has began.
All right. Shout about that as
much as you like.
You've a job to do, and part of
it is to keep it secret...
...no matter what happens.
What do we do?
Light three candles over there.
He'll see us in his mirror.
Do you know any prayers?
Do not incite me, please.
I know some, so do you?
Put those back, you foul.
legs very angry.
We better look out. He might be
waiting on the other side.
Strangled.
Nice work.
Neat. Very neat.
Someone did not want us to speak
to him.
That's what it looks like,
doesn't it?
Look.
- What's that?
Not so neat after all.
Me, better. Much better.
The man who owns this, is the man
who killed him.
Yes, Sir. He is also the man we
are looking for.
You're right. That's the motive.
One way of stopping a fellow's
mouth.
Look, someone's coming.
We'll have to stay up here for
hours!
I said, we shall have to stay up
here for hours!
But your wife shall wonder what
happened to her little General!
Let's do stay a little longer.
- All right.
Switzerland. The people are nice.
Yes, specially Charlie, there.
Hey, Fred...
Do you mind moving up a bit so we
can see the scenery?
Oh, no, don't. It's nice.
Are those your own teeth?
Course they are. Don't be silly.
I bet yours aren't.
Well, I never thought you'd look.
Wait a minute.
Do you mind holing them for me?
You're so disgusting.
Look at that nose.
Bet if you squeezed it you'd get
a quarter of whiskey out of it.
Sam, or George... Whatever...
Give me some smoke. Will you?
Smoke.
Voulez-vous...
He's fond of you.
I was afraid of that.
No, you don't understand...
Cigar... Cigaruchen.
Compris.
What is this strange bond you
have over coachmen?
No mystery, lady. Just a well
equipped man in every language.
Bad language.
- Why you...
strike woman.
What's the matter? Winned?
No, love.
- Again?
Why not?
Speaking of love...
You think your bow legged husband
would mind if I kissed you?
He's not bow legged!
I'll call the police!
He's too bow legged.
If you don't let me kiss you,
mind if I bite your adam's apple?
Speaking of your husband, if you
keep defending him like that...
...the idea might get around that
you love him.
I think I do.
How long has this been going on?
- Since yesterday.
Yesterday? That's defying after
the way you flung yourself at me.
Oh, I'll call the Police...
Home, James. I mean, the casino.
Can you play the...
Diablos, she's not in dinning
room.
Where can she be?
I don't know.
What's the matter with you?
All right, all right. Calm down.
