"No, we looked in on Lisbon and Rome." " (Hank) And Casablanca." " And Casablanca." "I hope you will have time to truly enjoy Marrakech." "Let's see." "We'll have, at the most, three days." "You will, naturally, be stopping at the Hotel Mamounia or Le Menara?" "Why do you ask?" "Because they are hotels for tourists of good taste." "Oh." "Do you live in France, Mr Bernard?" " Sometimes." " Do you eat snails?" "(Laughing) When I'm lucky enough." "If you ever get hungry, our garden back home is full of snails." "Thank you for the invitation." "That's alright."

"I know Marrakech." "I can show you an Arab restaurant where the food is different and the manner of eating exotic." "That's what we came here for." " How about one of those Arabian nights?"

"(Horn Honks)" "Well, I just saw Louis Bernard talking to that Arab." " What Arab?" " The one that was shouting at Hank." "They were talking like they were dear friends." "Well, he probably knew him before." "What does that mean?" "It means that Mr Bernard is a very mysterious man." "What?" "He seemed perfectly normal to me." "Now, what do you really know about him?" "What do I" " I know his name." "We were sitting there, we were talking." "You don't know anything about this man, and he knows everything about you." "Oh, wait." "He knows that you live in Indianapolis, Indiana." "He knows you're a doctor at the Good Samaritan Hospital." "He knows that you attended a medical convention in Paris, and that you stopped off in Rome, Lisbon and Casablanca." "Alright." "He knows that you served in North Africa in an army field hospital." "Honey, it was just a casual conversation, that's all." "Darling, you weren't just talking casually." "He was asking all kinds of questions, and you were answering them."

"Assuming that Bernard trusted me as implicitly as you say, then I'd never reveal anything he said to me." "Even Americans, I suppose, find it sometimes desirable to betray a confidence." "Let's get some things straight here." "I'm a tourist." "I'm travelling for pleasure."

"If I find anything out before you get back, I'll telephone you here." " Don't waste any time." " Goodbye." "Who was it, Ben?" "It was the, uh... the, uh... concierge at the hotel." "He found out we were being held by the police." "He just called to see if there was anything he could do." " That's very nice of him." " Yes, I thought so."

"We should go back to the hotel, pick up Hank and get out of here." " Maybe." " Think about Hank." "What a terrible thing this is for him, seeing a man murdered right before his eyes." " It's a horrible shock to a little boy." " I know." "Why don't you take that note, give it to the American Consulate, and let's not get any more involved, please." "Why don't you get the key?" "I'll take care of the driver." "Alright." "Say, uh... you know a Mrs Drayton?" " English lady." " That's right." "Did you see her coming from the marketplace in the last hour?" " No, sir." " Wait a minute." "This is very important." " She had my little boy with her." " No, sir." " What about Mr Drayton?" " Mr Drayton checked out." " He what?" " Checked out." " But he couldn't have." " Yes, sir, he did." "Mr Drayton, the Englishman with the horn-rimmed glasses." "Yes, sir." "He checked out." "(Sighs) I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted." "I'll call Mrs Drayton, tell her she can bring Hank back." " Just hold that call a minute, Jo." " Why?" "Because I asked you to!" "Ben, are we about to have our monthly fight?" "I hope not." "Well, then stop acting like that." "I merely said I was going to call Mrs Drayton." "Just a minute." "Wait a minute." "Just a minute." "Just a minute." "I want you to take these." "They'll relax you." "Relax me?" "I'm so relaxed I'm tired." " Maybe you need them." " These are for you, Jo." " I'm the doctor." "Here." " Ben " "You know what happens when you get excited and nervous." "Here." "Do me a favour." "Six months ago you told me I took too many pills." "Six months ago you weren't a witness to a murder."

"You'll feel better if you take these." "You don't think you will - I'll make a deal with you." "We'll make a deal." "What is this?" "There's something about this Louis Bernard, the police station and this whole spy business I haven't told you yet." " What?" " Here's the price of curiosity." " What is it?" " There's one way of finding out." "Alright, Dr McKenna." "I'm now relaxed and listening." "There's been something strange about this whole thing from the very beginning." "It wasn't any accident Louis Bernard came up to us, helped us on the bus and started up a conversation." " You were right about him." " You see there?" "I know." "I know." "That's what I said." "You were right." "He was strange." "Yes, I know all that." "But what were you going to tell me?" "He started to talk to us, and the reason he started was because he was on the lookout for a suspicious married couple." "There's nothing very suspicious-looking about us, is there?" "No, because he was wrong." "It was a different married couple." "Oh." "And he was killed before he found them?" "No, he found them." "He found them, all right." "It was in the restaurant where we had dinner last night." "That's one of the reasons he was killed." "You'll be telling me next it's Mr and Mrs Drayton." "That's who it was, Jo." "Ben, if this is your idea of a joke, it's not a very funny one." " I think I'll lie down." " Now, listen to me, Jo." "Now, listen to me very carefully." "That phone call at the police station, that wasn't the concierge at the hotel." "That was a man with a foreign voice." "He told me if I mentioned one single word of what Bernard told me in the market, that something would happen to Hank." "Hank?" "Why Hank?" "They've taken him away." "But Mrs Drayton brought him back to the hotel." "Mrs Drayton never got back to the hotel and neither did Hank." " But Mr Drayton " " Listen, Jo." "Mr Drayton checked out of the hotel 40 minutes ago." "Now, come on, Jo." "Sit down." "I could kill you!" "You gave me sedatives!" " Sit down." " You did!" "Let go!" " Why didn't you tell me?" " I wasn't sure." " You did!" "You did!" " Jo, please!" "Please!" "Let go of me!" "Let go!" "(Sobbing)" " Ben!" " Lie down, Jo." "Oh, Ben, let me find my baby!" "Oh, dear God!" " I want my boy!"

"(Drawers Rattling) The Draytons are definitely gone." "The register in the hotel says they came from London." "Drayton told the concierge he was a college professor." "I don't think there's anything we can do here, Jo." "I can't bring the police in." "I'd even thought of taking that chance." "But the minute they connect Hank's disappearance with Louis Bernard's murder, then the first thing they'll do is make me tell them what Louis Bernard whispered to me in the market place." "That won't do Hank any good." "We're going to London." "The Draytons had a private aeroplane." "I found that out." "That's how they got Hank out of here." "It could land anyplace, no trouble with passports or anything." "So we're going to London to find him." "Now, Jo... now listen to me." "This is what Bernard said." ""A man, a statesman, is to be killed, assassinated, in London soon, very soon." "Tell them in London to try Ambrose Chappell."" "That's the fella we've got to find." "If he knows anything, I'm gonna offer him every penny I have to get Hank back." "The Chappell guy's our only hope." "Do you understand?" "I've got a car waiting downstairs." "I've paid the hotel bill." "We get packed, we'll be all set." "Honey?" "We don't have much time." "You'll have to get up and get ready." "Please, Jo." " Please, Jo."
