01x10 - The Getaway Boat

[bunniefuu]

Perhaps, captain rogers, in view of everything

it would be better if you returned home

and reassured our wives as much as possible.

What is it, thomas?

The bookworm says he wants to make a statement, sir.

Bring him in.

Right, sir.

Captain rogers...

I still think it would be better if you return home.

Be assured I'll advise you of all developments.

I suppose you're doing all you can.

I guess you're right. I better go.

Do you think we could swim for it?

Not this far down the river.

Father says anywhere below the tower

the tide race is strong enough

to pull even powerful swimmers under.

There must be some way out of this mess.

Say...

I know--you've got an idea.

Sure, I have.

This skiff--

how do we know the hole isn't above the water line?

Well, we don't...

But it looks pretty far down to me.

Yeah, but at least we could try floating it.

The most that could happen is it'd sink.

All right, we'll try it.

Keep well down. We gotta hide.

I wonder what he's coming here for.

I don't like the look of it.

Get a load of that knife.

This case has taken on a more serious turn, at least for me,

from a stolen manuscript to two missing boys,

one of which is my own.

What about my proposition?

I'll make no deals with you.

You came here of your own free will

because you said you wished to make a statement.

Have you anything to add, inspector macintosh?

No, nothing at the moment.

Right, well, go ahead, will you?

We'll take your statement down.

Well, this whole thing began as a business deal with smith.

Then these two boys became involved in it,

and frankly, I'm worried.

Do you know where my son is?

I have no idea where either of them are-- on my honor.

Let's stop this shilly-shallying.

What do you know?

Well, it happened this way--

I wanted an errand boy for work around my shop.

These two lads applied for the position.

Smith was in the shop with the manuscript.

And you were in on the deal?

■

Only in my usual capacity, sir.

You mean, how to dispose of it?

Yes, sir.

How to find a way to get it out of the country.

Go on.

Well, that's where the boys came in.

You involved my son in this?

I didn't know he was your son, sir, at the time,

but knowing the efficiency of your organization,

it seemed a good idea to have the lads

carry the manuscript to camdentown

instead of one of us.

Camdentown--

is that where they've gone?

Yes. Smith was to get there ahead of them.

Are you two working alone?

Yes, sir. Now.

What do you mean, now?

There was a character called kurt and toby jug,

but smith kicked them out.

Hmm. I know toby jug.

Who's this kurt?

He's a german.

Fakes old bookbindings and paintings.

Where can we find him?

Please, gentlemen,■

if they know I'm talking, they'll k*ll me.

I said where do we find this kurt?

A leather goods store in keebler street.

I'll have him picked up.

Now, then, let's get back to the boys.

Where are they now?

I've told you everything I know, inspector.

I sent the boys to camdentown,

and that's the last I've seen or heard of them.

Take the prisoner back to his cell.

Yes, sir.

Thanks for your cooperation.

I wouldn't like anything to happen to those boys.

That's what worries me.

You're under arrest.

[Whistle]

[whistle]

[whistle]

smith?

Hold on a minute. Let me get a ladder.

[Whispering] smith?

It can't be the same smith.

I guess not. There's millions of 'em.

Ladder coming up.

Hello, skipper.

It's toby jug,

and he's got the bag with him.

What do you mean, making out you were smith?

Why, skipper, I thought you'd like a nice little surprise.

Clint, what are you going to do?

I'm going after him.

No. Don't. Please.

The other one's got a knife.

What do you want, fat man?

To talk friendly like.

Smith won't want to be talkin' friendly like

if ever he catches up with you.

I just saw him.

Yours.

He wants me and you to shove off right now.

Don't want to wait for a night.

He'll fly to france and meet us.

So he said that, did he?

Heh heh heh. Come on, you're a man of business.

I'll ask you a simple question.

A shilling'll get you 100 pounds the answer will be no.

Supposin' I put in 100 quid extra and no questions?

Show us your 100 quid.

What's your question?

Here it is.

It's a--heh-- it's a riddle, you might say.

What's the difference between 100 quid given you by a fat man

and 100 quid given you by a thin man?

What have you got in that bag

that you're in such a great hurry to get out of the country?

It ain't jewels or money this time, skipper.

Take my word for it.

I wouldn't take your word for the time of day.

Ah, right you are, my lad.

Now, here's 100 quid from me to you.

And with what smith give you, that amounts to--

what it amounts to is 6 b*ll*ts--

3 for you and 3 for me--

if smith catches us.

Not if we hurry.

Looks like your old tub is it.

All the more reason for not losin' her.

Concerning your police and customs boats, that's my worry.

Concerning crossing the channel,

that's your worry.

How fast can you go?

32 Knots if I have to...

But I hope I don't have to.

Ain't you gonna tow a skiff?

There's more than 40 miles of open ocean between here and calais.

Towin' a skiff will slow us down.

I ain't the swimmer I was.

I'd feel happier with one.

There's that one over there,

but I still don't like the idea.

Well, I do, and I'm the one what's payin'.

Come on, let's have a look at it.
