An ad appears in a London paper, looking for a woman with a sense of adventure and no ties. A young woman lands the job, says goodbye to her two roommates, and never contacts them again. Six weeks later, one of the other roommates finds the same ad in the paper and applies. She is hired immediately, and despite her close friendship with her roommate, never writes or calls. Four months later, the last roommate sees the ad in the paper again, and determines to get to the bottom of the mystery.

00:01:00I will never see it as decadent.
00:01:03Western music.
00:01:05Brash, certainly.
00:01:07Occasionally mindless.
00:01:09But then it is not intended for the mind.
00:01:12The heart, the emotion.
00:01:15But certainly not decadent.
00:01:20What are you looking at?
00:01:22Mr. Gifford.
00:01:25What's he doing?
00:01:27Doing?
00:01:35Oh, he's digging a grave for you, my dear.

00:02:51Listen to this.
00:02:52Do you have a sense of adventure?
00:02:53Intelligent young woman required for fascinating varied work.
00:02:56Important, no ties, able to travel and work away from home.
00:02:59Look at that.
00:03:01Exceptional opportunity for right girl.
00:03:04Good salary, prospects, phone for interview.
00:03:07That sounds terrific, Babs.
00:03:08What do you think?
00:03:09Hello, Wendy.
00:03:10Hello.
00:03:11Go on, give him a ring.
00:03:12Well, I don't understand it.
00:03:14Went right through the paper today and didn't see this.
00:03:17Hey, hang on.
00:03:22There's a piece missing.
00:03:23Wendy.
00:03:24Won't do you any good.
00:03:25The post is no longer vacant.
00:03:27What do you mean?
00:03:28I had an interview an hour ago.
00:03:29You got the job?
00:03:30I did. I start tomorrow.
00:03:47That's him. He said he'd pick me up.
00:03:49It's been fun sharing with you at rearing house.
00:03:51Give my love to Charlie.
00:03:52I will. You take care.
00:03:55No hard feelings?
00:03:56Of course not.
00:03:57Good luck, Wendy.
00:03:58Hey, have you got everything?
00:03:59Yeah, yeah.
00:04:00All right.
00:04:01Just as soon as I get settled and find out what this job's all about.
00:04:04All right.
00:04:05Look after yourself now.
00:04:06Bye.
00:04:07Goodbye.
00:04:20Well, that's the last we'll see of her.
00:04:22What do you mean?
00:04:23You've never shared a flat before, have you?
00:04:27We live out of each other's pockets for a few months.
00:04:29Then comes along a new job or a new boyfriend,
00:04:33and you never see them again.
00:04:35Ships that pass in the night.
00:04:39Yep.
00:04:40That's the last time we'll ever see or hear of her.
00:04:42I know.
00:04:43I know.
00:04:44I know.
00:04:45I know.
00:04:46Yep.
00:04:47That's the last time we'll ever see or hear of her again.

00:05:25Mr Townsend will be here in a moment.
00:05:27Why not take a seat?
00:05:28Thanks.
00:05:34Good morning.
00:05:35Oh, hello.
00:05:36Do sit down, won't you?
00:05:47I'm here to work for Mr Townsend.
00:05:52His personal assistant.
00:05:54Yes, I know.
00:05:56Do you know him?
00:05:58What's he like?
00:06:00Very pleasant.
00:06:02He's been very nice to work for.
00:06:05Goodness, I'm not taking your job, am I?
00:06:08No, no.
00:06:09I'm taking yours.
00:06:11What?
00:06:13Well, not so much your job, really.
00:06:16As your place.

00:07:27How are you this morning?
00:07:29OK, I guess.
00:07:30There's a couple of letters for you.
00:07:32Nothing for Wendy, though.
00:07:34Who?
00:07:35Wendy.
00:07:36Oh, come on.
00:07:37Wendy Phillips.
00:07:38Oh, it has been six weeks now.
00:07:40Seven.
00:07:41Well, seven, then.
00:07:44She won't write now.
00:07:46I thought she might.
00:07:47Especially if the job was going well.
00:07:49To crow over us.
00:07:51She was that kind of girl, wasn't she?
00:07:53The way she got the job in the first place.
00:07:55Hiding it from me.
00:07:57Well, maybe the job didn't turn out as she'd hoped.
00:08:00Oh, she didn't last.
00:08:02She got the sack, look.
00:08:04Do you have a sense of adventure?
00:08:06It's the same ad again.
00:08:07It certainly sounds like it.
00:08:09Oh, it is, I know it is.
00:08:10Precious Wendy Phillips didn't last the course.
00:08:12So the job's wide open again.
00:08:14Hey, what time is it?
00:08:16Nearly nine.
00:08:17Do you think there's anyone there yet?
00:08:19I could try, anyway.
00:08:31Yes?
00:08:33Yes, we did.
00:08:35Well, what about this morning?
00:08:37Shall we say 10.30?
00:08:40Yes.
00:08:41Yes, come to Arendelle Contacts.
00:08:44Yes, that's right.
00:08:45157 Mark Street.
00:08:47We're on the fourth floor.
00:08:49Yes, look forward to meeting you, Miss Bryant.
00:08:53Goodbye.
00:08:5410.30.
00:08:55I'm to be there at 10.30.
00:08:58Oh, my goodness.
00:08:59I'm going to have to move.
00:09:01Oh, cripes.
00:09:02Helen, my best coat's still at the cleaners.
00:09:05Don't worry, you can borrow mine.
00:09:07Oh, thanks.
00:09:14Oh, God.
00:09:18All right, here's the coat.
00:09:20Oh, thanks.
00:09:25Listen, you'd better borrow the scarf, too.
00:09:27You've got to make a really good impression.
00:09:29Oh, thanks, Helen.
00:09:30I love you.
00:09:31Oh, that's Charlie.
00:09:32Oh, OK.
00:09:37I've got the itinerary.
00:09:38Helen, help.
00:09:39I'm stuck.
00:09:40Oh, just a minute, sweetheart.
00:09:41I'll give you a hand.
00:09:42And the hotel reservations?
00:09:43And the cup and the hairspray.
00:09:44Oh, my lipstick.
00:09:45All right, we'll find them.
00:09:46I'm sure my tights have got to run in them.
00:09:48Hi, Charlie.
00:09:49Hi.
00:09:50Well, where are they?
00:09:51Hanging in the bathroom, I think.
00:09:53Well, I'll check.
00:09:55Well, what's going on?
00:09:57Babs, she's got an interview for a job.
00:10:13Oh.
00:10:28Miss Bryant?
00:10:29Yes?
00:10:30You're punctual.
00:10:31I like that.
00:10:32Please come in.
00:10:35May I?
00:10:36Oh, of course.
00:10:43Do sit down.
00:10:58You may smoke, if you wish.
00:11:00No, thank you.
00:11:01I mean, I don't.
00:11:03Barbara Bryant.
00:11:05I should say, perhaps, 25 years old?
00:11:07Yes.
00:11:08British?
00:11:09That's right.
00:11:10Well, Miss Bryant, so you wish to work for us?
00:11:12Well, I need a job, yes.
00:11:14Well, it's a very good job we're offering.
00:11:16A personal assistant to Mr. Townsend.
00:11:18Now, it does not require secretarial talent,
00:11:21so much as intelligence, initiative.
00:11:24And it is very highly paid.
00:11:26But, and I deliberately stress this important but first,
00:11:30it does require your absolute freedom to travel,
00:11:34to move around, perhaps to turn your back on friends
00:11:39and family for a long while.
00:11:41Well, I'm not engaged or anything like that,
00:11:43if that's what you mean.
00:11:44Surely, such an attractive girl as you,
00:11:47there must be boyfriends.
00:11:49No one even half serious.
00:11:51Oh, and family?
00:11:53My father's dead.
00:11:55Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:11:57But your mother is alive, yes?
00:11:59Yes, but she lives in Rhodesia.
00:12:01And brothers, sisters?
00:12:03One brother.
00:12:04I don't know exactly where he is.
00:12:06South America, last time I heard.
00:12:08He's a journalist.
00:12:09I see.
00:12:11So, you have no ties at all.
00:12:13No one to pine for you,
00:12:15if we should take you away for a long while?
00:12:17Not really.
00:12:19Well, Miss Bryant, tell me all about yourself.
00:12:23Every little detail.
00:12:25Well, where shall I begin?
00:12:28The first place I want to take you to is,
00:12:30is here, Simmons Yard.
00:12:33Oh, it's fantastic.
00:12:34It just nestles in the Forest of Dean,
00:12:36and down below is the Wye River.
00:12:39There's salmon just come leaping out at you to take the hook.
00:12:42In fact, we could hire a couple of rods.
00:12:44I know a place below the rapids.
00:12:46Charlie, um, you know,
00:12:47this is as much my vacation as it is yours.
00:12:50OK.
00:12:52So we fish for one day, just one.
00:12:55The other 13 are all yours.
00:12:58Oh, there's a great pub across the river now.
00:13:00Saturday nights are fantastic.
00:13:02Now, we could stay there.
00:13:03Charlie, uh, you're doing it again.
00:13:06Well, it's just that it's my country, Helen.
00:13:08I want to show you all the places I think of as being mine.
00:13:11Yes, yes, I know, Charlie.
00:13:13All the pubs.
00:13:19I've got it, I've got it!
00:13:22Is it catching?
00:13:23Shall we have injections?
00:13:24The job, Dopey.
00:13:25It's nine.
00:13:26I start tomorrow.
00:13:33Barbara Bryant.
00:13:36Babs.
00:13:38Yes, best of the bunch.
00:13:41No close ties.
00:13:44Family abroad.
00:13:46Only possible choice.
00:13:49It's terrible, me rushing off like this.
00:13:51I have to find another girl to share now.
00:13:53But I have paid until the end of the month.
00:13:55Oh, please, don't worry.
00:13:57It sounds such an exciting job.
00:13:59Travel abroad, meeting lots of people.
00:14:01Oh, Helen, your scarf.
00:14:04I've lost your scarf.
00:14:08She forgot that.
00:14:10Well, she won't be needing it anymore.
00:14:22Sorry, job's been taken.
00:14:25Well, it was ringing.
00:14:28Now it's dead.
00:14:30Why don't you try again later?
00:14:32I mean, it's really not that important.
00:14:34Well, it is important.
00:14:36It's your scarf, and I lost it.
00:14:38It was silk, too.
00:14:40Hey, I could run over there and pick it up.
00:14:42Babs, you're leaving tomorrow.
00:14:44You're not even half-packed yet.
00:14:46I'll go over there later.
00:14:48Are you sure?
00:14:49Absolutely.
00:14:50Now, come on, let's go.
00:14:52Absolutely.
00:14:54Now, come on, let's get your things together.
00:14:56You didn't tell me if you're going by train or what.
00:14:58No, no, they're picking me up here tomorrow.
00:15:00By car.
00:15:10It's here.
00:15:12We're sitting like punctuality.
00:15:14Well, then don't keep him waiting.
00:15:16Oh, I'm ready, I think.
00:15:18Oh, Helen, there's so many things.
00:15:20Later.
00:15:22I still feel bad about the scarf.
00:15:24Oh, my goodness, I haven't left you the address.
00:15:26For you to go over there and pick it up.
00:15:28I do hope it's still there.
00:15:30Um, 157 Mark Street.
00:15:32Arendelle Contacts.
00:15:34Come on, Babs.
00:15:36It's on the fourth floor.
00:15:38Okay.
00:15:40Now, go over there today.
00:15:42I'll try.
00:15:44And if it's not there, be sure to let me know.
00:15:46I'll buy you a new one out of my first month's wages.
00:15:48Unless you're in Timbuktu or someplace.
00:15:50But do write, now, do you hear?
00:15:52Don't be a ship in the night.
00:15:54I won't, I promise.
00:15:56Bye.
00:15:58Goodbye, good luck.
00:16:18Bye.
00:16:48Charlie, I'm so glad to see you.
00:16:50I'm glad to see you.
00:17:04Nothing so sad as an empty nest.
00:17:06Oh, I'll soon fill it again.
00:17:08Put an ad in tomorrow.
00:17:10Want a cup of coffee?
00:17:12Yes, yes, fine.
00:17:20Three can live as cheaply as one.
00:17:22Well, that's a theory.
00:17:24Split the rent and...
00:17:26As it were, with two.
00:17:28Can't live quite as cheaply as three, perhaps.
00:17:30But it could be more fun.
00:17:34Helen?
00:17:36How do you feel about becoming a...
00:17:38British citizen?
00:17:50Charlie!
00:17:52That's...
00:17:54That's the worst, most unromantic...
00:17:58That's the most wonderful proposal I've ever heard.
00:18:00Charlie!
00:18:02Charlie!
00:18:04That's the most wonderful proposal I've ever heard.
00:18:08It had to come.
00:18:10And my thrifty nature brought it about.
00:18:12Now, look.
00:18:14We're off on holiday tomorrow.
00:18:16Now, separate rooms are expensive.
00:18:20So why not make the holiday honeymoon?
00:18:22Why not?
00:18:24Because it's ridiculous.
00:18:26I mean, Charlie, I'm still studying.
00:18:28Helen, people do it all the time.
00:18:30Now, look, we want each other.
00:18:32Why not now?
00:18:34Because, Charlie...
00:18:36Because I hardly earn anything.
00:18:38So we'll starve.
00:18:40But together.
00:18:42Charlie, it's...
00:18:44It's crazy.
00:18:46It's lovely, but it's crazy.
00:18:48I mean, we couldn't possibly arrange it all in time.
00:18:52I do have a special licence.
00:18:56How long does it take to get one of those?
00:18:58About a week.
00:19:00It was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
00:19:04But tomorrow...
00:19:06I mean, there's so many things to do.
00:19:08Helen, there's just one thing to do.
00:19:10Just say yes.
00:19:16Uh, yes.
00:19:20But now, listen, Charlie.
00:19:22It's got to be at least half right.
00:19:24It will be! It will be!
00:19:26We could get, um...
00:19:28Rob and Shirley as witnesses.
00:19:30Already arranged, and they are standing by.
00:19:32But I need a trousseau.
00:19:34You know, something old.
00:19:36Something old? Well, that's me.
00:19:38Well, I am older than you.
00:19:40And something new you can go right out now and buy.
00:19:42Something borrowed?
00:19:44My watch.
00:19:46But I want it back immediately after the ceremony.
00:19:48You understand?
00:19:50Something blue?
00:19:52That's easy.
00:19:54That scarf I gave you is bright blue.
00:19:56Now,
00:19:58I'd better get moving.
00:20:00And so would you.
00:20:02I mean, I want a groomed groom to want to move.
00:20:04A groom groom you shall have.
00:20:08Oh, I wish Babs was here.
00:20:10Oh, Babs.
00:20:12Quote.
00:20:14He started a ship and passed in the night.
00:20:16Unquote.
00:20:18Oh, no, Charlie. Babs is different.
00:20:20She'll write.
00:20:26Help you, miss?
00:20:28Yes.
00:20:30Do you know what time they get back?
00:20:32Arendelle Contacts.
00:20:34Obviously, they're out to lunch.
00:20:36Oh, the office is empty, miss.
00:20:38Arendelle Contacts, they rented this place,
00:20:40oh, let me see.
00:20:42Yes, I remember now.
00:20:44It was about this time last year.
00:20:46Like I said, the place is all empty now, miss.
00:20:48There hasn't been anyone here for almost a year.
00:20:52That's ridiculous.
00:20:54A friend of mine came here yesterday.
00:20:56Oh, no, you see for yourself, miss.
00:20:58At least I can't hear.
00:21:06Here we are.
00:21:12You must have the wrong address, miss.
00:21:14No one been here in months.
00:21:24You must have the wrong address, miss.
00:21:30You must have the wrong address, miss.
00:21:54She's here.
00:21:56Yes, I know.
00:21:58And you know what to do, don't you?
00:22:00Not all at once.
00:22:02Take your time.
00:22:04It's better that way.
00:22:06Less panicky.
00:22:08And you seem panicky.
00:22:10I'm okay.
00:22:12Want me to do it for you?
00:22:14No.
00:22:16Anyway, I'll do it.
00:22:18I'll do it.
00:22:20I'll do it.
00:22:22Anyway,
00:22:24I have to do it.
00:22:26That's right.
00:22:28Sooner you're bloodied, then you'll be part of the family, won't you?
00:22:30Do it nicely.
00:22:34In here, please.
00:22:38Mr. Townsend will be along directly.
00:22:40Why not take a seat?
00:22:44Good morning.
00:22:46Morning.
00:22:52I...
00:22:54I hope he's not an ogre.
00:22:56Mr. Townsend.
00:22:58I haven't met him yet. Have you?
00:23:04Oh, this is some office, isn't it?
00:23:08Well, I expect this is where I'll be working.
00:23:10I hope so.
00:23:12It's very nice.
00:23:14Oh, that's why I'm here.
00:23:16To work for Mr. Townsend.
00:23:18But just exactly what sort of work, I've no idea.
00:23:20Talking too much.
00:23:22Nervous, I suppose.
00:23:28Oh, by the way, my name is Barbara.
00:23:30Yes, I know.
00:23:32Oh, you're working for Mr. Townsend, too.
00:23:34Not exactly.
00:23:36Actually, my name is Barbara, too.
00:23:38That's a coincidence.
00:23:40Yes. Most people call me Babs.
00:23:42Me, too.
00:23:44Yes, Babs. Babs Bryant.
00:23:46That's fantastic.
00:23:48That's my name. Bryant.
00:23:50Babs Bryant.
00:23:52I was born in York. In York?
00:23:54My father's dead. My mother lives in Rhodesia.
00:23:56I've got one brother.
00:23:58Timothy. Timothy?
00:24:00He's a journalist. I don't see very much of him.
00:24:02I shared a flat with a couple of girls.
00:24:04I suppose you'd call me a drifter.
00:24:08I've got few friends.
00:24:18There.
00:24:32There.
00:24:34Wasn't so bad, was it?
00:24:36Welcome to the family.
00:24:42Feel like a drink now?
00:24:44No. I don't need a drink.
00:24:46Oh, that's even better.
00:24:48Even I sometimes feel a tension afterwards.
00:24:52Even I sometimes need a drink.
00:24:54Sometimes.
00:24:56Geoffrod!
00:25:02Speed it up.
00:25:10Speed it up.
00:25:12He always needs a drink.
00:25:14But you...
00:25:16You're different.
00:25:18The best they've sent us so far.
00:25:20Yes.
00:25:22I shall enjoy working with you.
00:25:24Oh, here.
00:25:26Take this.
00:25:28Of course, Babs is after all.
00:25:30This has been a momentous day for you, hasn't it?
00:25:32You'll need something to remember it by.
00:25:36That is, of course, unless you don't care to remember it.
00:25:44Come on.
00:25:48Come on, Helen.
00:25:50It's bad luck to be late for your wedding.
00:26:00Hey.
00:26:04You look beautiful.
00:26:06You've got to make an honest woman out of me first, Charlie.
00:26:08Then let's hurry.
00:26:10All right. Well, I've got something for you.
00:26:14What is it?
00:26:18You know, she didn't call.
00:26:20Who?
00:26:22Babs.
00:26:24She said she'd write, didn't she?
00:26:28Charlie, it was so strange going to that place yesterday.
00:26:34Now, look.
00:26:36We've been through all that.
00:26:38Now it had to be the wrong address.
00:26:40Yes, I...
00:26:42Another 20 seconds,
00:26:44I go right out through that door
00:26:46and ask the first female I see to marry me.
00:26:48And five seconds later,
00:26:50I'll murder her in cold blood.
00:26:52Oh, you can't take that attitude with me.
00:26:54Remember? Rather scarf.
00:26:56It was mislaid, or I thought it was.
00:26:58Okay.
00:27:00I'll overlook it this time.
00:27:02Let's go.
00:27:06Helen!
00:27:08Yes?
00:27:12What have you got in here?
00:27:14Books.
00:27:16Books?
00:27:18Well, I wondered, I thought...
00:27:20You know that too much reading can ruin your eyesight.
00:27:32All right.
00:27:34Yes.
00:27:36We may have to find a house with bigger grounds.
00:27:38Don't joke.
00:27:40I'm not going to joke about such things.
00:27:42They are human beings.
00:27:44On the wrong side.
00:27:46You haven't forgotten that, have you, Carter?
00:27:48You can't have forgotten.
00:27:50It's a lesson we learned very well.
00:27:52The end justifies the means.
00:28:04You're a pig, Gifford.
00:28:06You're a pig, Gifford.
00:28:08Just a pig.
00:28:10Very efficient pig.
00:28:12Very necessary pig.
00:28:16You couldn't do it, could you?
00:28:18If I had to.
00:28:20Ah, but you don't have to.
00:28:22Not while the pig is here.
00:28:26Funny they both came from the same address.
00:28:28What?
00:28:30This one and the other.
00:28:32When was it? Oh, only two months ago.
00:28:34Wendy Phillips.
00:28:36That's right, Wendy Phillips.
00:28:38Funny they both came from the same address.
00:28:40You didn't tell me that.
00:28:42I didn't know myself
00:28:44until I saw this girl's papers.
00:28:46I picked up the Phillips girl, you see,
00:28:48and you picked up this one.
00:28:50Does it matter?
00:28:52I don't know.
00:28:54I don't suppose so.
00:28:56It's an error.
00:28:58Something overlooked.
00:29:00He won't like that.
00:29:04Who will ever miss them?
00:29:08Now don't move.
00:29:10Stay exactly where you are.
00:29:20Home again, Mrs. Masters?
00:29:26Oh, what a mess.
00:29:28I'd forgotten
00:29:30what a mess it was.
00:29:32No way you and me together
00:29:34can be a mess.
00:29:36If you really believe that, Charlie,
00:29:38you'll help me clean it up.
00:29:40It's terrible.
00:29:42Ten seconds home and I'm being hand-picked already.
00:29:44You know,
00:29:46my mother warned me about dominant women like you.
00:29:48Now I'll make the coffee
00:29:50and then the bed.
00:29:52Charlie Masters,
00:29:54you've got them on track behind.
00:29:56Mrs. Masters, you do nothing but encourage it.
00:30:02Hey,
00:30:08aren't you supposed to be giving me a hand?
00:30:10I was just looking to see
00:30:12if there was a letter from Babs.
00:30:14Is there?
00:30:18Well, no.
00:30:20There you are.
00:30:22Out of sight, out of mind.
00:30:24She did promise to write.
00:30:26Promises, promises.
00:30:28Anyway, it's only been a couple of weeks.
00:30:30A couple of beautiful weeks.
00:30:32But she did promise.
00:30:34Then she won't.
00:30:52You move like a cat, Gifford.
00:30:54No sound at all.
00:30:56Been useful a few times.
00:31:00It's time we went to work again.
00:31:02What?
00:31:04He just called.
00:31:06You know, I wish they didn't always
00:31:08have to be so young.
00:31:10Getting sentimental.
00:31:12No.
00:31:14Just older, I suppose.
00:31:16Tell him the ad
00:31:18will go in this week.
00:31:30Good morning.
00:31:42Good morning.
00:31:48I thought we might have dinner out tonight.
00:31:50We could meet in town about 6.30
00:31:52and maybe go to the Greek place.
00:31:56Right, Charlie.
00:31:58What a good idea, Charlie.
00:32:00Helen.
00:32:02Now, look,
00:32:04I know we've been married
00:32:06four whole months.
00:32:08Look at this.
00:32:10It's the same ad, isn't it?
00:32:12Have you a sense of adventure?
00:32:14The same ad
00:32:16that Babs answered in Wendy?
00:32:18Oh, yeah.
00:32:20Well, it is the same.
00:32:22So it's the same.
00:32:24But it got rid of her, too.
00:32:26Got rid of her?
00:32:28Fired her.
00:32:30Dispensed with her services.
00:32:32Well, we never did hear from her, did we?
00:32:34Now, what about dinner?
00:32:36Tonight.
00:32:38The Greek place.
00:32:40Oh, yes.
00:32:42That'll be fine.
00:32:44I mean, I'll be in town anyway.
00:32:46I've been meaning to do it for ages.
00:32:48Go to the embassy and let them know
00:32:50I have dual nationality.
00:32:52Does that matter?
00:32:54The passport has to be changed
00:32:56from single to married.
00:32:58I wouldn't want to suddenly find out
00:33:00I couldn't get back into my own country
00:33:02because of technicalities.
00:33:04I see.
00:33:06So you're thinking of leaving me already?
00:33:16Can I help you, miss?
00:33:18Uh, yes.
00:33:20Passport control.
00:33:22Good morning.
00:33:24Hi.
00:33:26I'm Helen Tarek.
00:33:28Or at least I was.
00:33:30I'm Mrs. Masters now.
00:33:32I've brought my passport.
00:33:34So you got married, huh?
00:33:36I'm not surprised.
00:33:38If I was about ten minutes younger,
00:33:40I would have snapped you up myself.
00:33:42I married an Englishman.
00:33:44Oh, dear.
00:33:46We may have to have you appear
00:33:48before the Un-American Activities Committee.
00:33:50Not my department, though.
00:33:52Just a stranger passing through.
00:33:54Babs. Miss Bryant will attend to you.
00:33:56Babs!
00:33:58Doctor before you.
00:34:00Morning. Can I help you?
00:34:02Miss Bryant?
00:34:04Yes.
00:34:06Babs Bryant.
00:34:08That's right.
00:34:10You're not an American, are you?
00:34:12No, I'm English.
00:34:14Well, from York, actually.
00:34:16We have quite a few English people
00:34:18What's the problem, miss?
00:34:20Masters.
00:34:22Mrs. Masters.
00:34:24Oh.
00:34:28OAC. Change of status.
00:34:30Single to married.
00:34:32Oh, well, we need a few details.
00:34:34And your marriage certificate.
00:34:36But it shouldn't take long.
00:34:40I'm sorry, Charlie.
00:34:42Really.
00:34:44So you ought to be.
00:34:46I'll be sorry.
00:34:50Do you want a drink?
00:34:52No.
00:34:54You've done nothing all night but prattle on
00:34:56about this girl at the embassy.
00:34:58I know, but...
00:35:00It was a coincidence!
00:35:02Coincidence?
00:35:04Babs Bryant, about 25,
00:35:06brunette, from York?
00:35:08It was a coincidence.
00:35:10It has to be.
00:35:12There's no other possible explanation.
00:35:16It just hit me,
00:35:18hearing that name,
00:35:20and not having heard from Babs...
00:35:22Now drop it, Helen!
00:35:46No!
00:36:10No!
00:36:12But I saw her
00:36:14with the same man that picked up Babs.
00:36:16The real Babs.
00:36:18What do you mean, the real Babs?
00:36:20Helen, you are losing
00:36:22your marbles.
00:36:24No, I'm not.
00:36:26There's something funny going on.
00:36:28Yes, up there.
00:36:32Anyway, I told you to drop it.
00:36:36I do what I want, Charlie.
00:36:38Here we go.
00:36:40Now suppose it's a women's lib bit.
00:36:42Don't mock me, Charlie. This is serious.
00:36:44Very serious.
00:36:46This is the second round we've had in two days,
00:36:48not because of this stupid Babs business.
00:36:50It isn't stupid.
00:36:52No, I take that back. It's insane.
00:36:54If you would only listen. Examine the facts.
00:36:56I'm going to bed.
00:36:58I said, I'm going to bed!
00:37:12There we are, miss.
00:37:20Looking for anything particular, miss?
00:37:22I've got a good memory and I might
00:37:24save you some time if I...
00:37:26The want ads.
00:37:28Jobs available
00:37:30over the past year.
00:37:32I hate to state
00:37:34the obvious, miss, but
00:37:36over the past year, all those jobs
00:37:38have been taken by now.
00:37:40Yes.
00:37:42And this one
00:37:44with uncanny frequency.
00:37:46I didn't bother
00:37:48going back any further.
00:37:50I thought one year would be enough.
00:37:52Oh, thank you.
00:37:54Enough for what?
00:37:56To convince you.
00:37:58You're not eating?
00:38:00No.
00:38:02The same ad
00:38:04every time.
00:38:06I'm not eating.
00:38:08The same ad
00:38:10every time.
00:38:12Have you a sense of adventure?
00:38:14Yes. But each time
00:38:16a different telephone number to ring.
00:38:18Doesn't that make it more suspicious?
00:38:20Suspicious?
00:38:22In what way?
00:38:26I don't know.
00:38:28But the way it's worded.
00:38:30Important.
00:38:32No ties. Now what kind of a girl's
00:38:34going to answer that?
00:38:36No, Charlie.
00:38:38A lonely one.
00:38:44What do you think?
00:38:46I think
00:38:50just a touch too much garlic.
00:39:06Yes?
00:39:08Hello. You must be Helen.
00:39:10Yeah. Slim.
00:39:12Attractive. Very attractive.
00:39:14Yes, the girl
00:39:16who has everything.
00:39:18Including her husband.
00:39:20Oh, really? That's a new development.
00:39:22She didn't mention that.
00:39:24Who exactly are we talking about?
00:39:26Babs. Barbara Bryant.
00:39:28I'm her brother, Tim.
00:39:32Come in, won't you?
00:39:34Thanks.
00:39:40Well, where is she?
00:39:42You don't know?
00:39:44No, I just flew in this morning. A surprise visit.
00:39:46Last I heard, she was staying here.
00:39:48Well, she hasn't been here
00:39:50for at least four months.
00:39:52Oh. Oh, well, I
00:39:54move around a lot. Mail chases
00:39:56me for weeks sometimes.
00:39:58Where is she now?
00:40:00Well,
00:40:02we don't know.
00:40:04Good morrow, Kate.
00:40:06I found an office for next week's interviews.
00:40:08Empty at the end of the corridor. Should be able to move
00:40:10the furniture in fairly easily.
00:40:12Fine.
00:40:14You're becoming anglicized.
00:40:16It's educational. The work
00:40:18of a fine writer.
00:40:20His works are translated
00:40:22for us.
00:40:24Oh, you are rubbish.
00:40:26You are here
00:40:28to obey orders
00:40:30and observe and report.
00:40:32I run the system
00:40:34and the system functions perfectly.
00:40:44What do you think?
00:40:46I've told you what I think.
00:40:48It's crazy. Oh, come on.
00:40:50I've been mixed up in stories that make this seem like
00:40:52common sense.
00:40:54That's what I thought.
00:40:56There's something wrong.
00:40:58Terribly wrong.
00:41:00Look,
00:41:02you followed this other girl home.
00:41:04Yes, and I saw her
00:41:06meet the same man. Where is this house?
00:41:08St. Andrew Street.
00:41:10What number?
00:41:12I don't remember.
00:41:14But the house has a yellow door.
00:41:16You can't miss it.
00:41:26.
00:41:28.
00:41:30.
00:41:32.
