1:13 I say, Reynolds, what's this I hear about the Army being interested in this project you're lobbying for? Well, it's not for publication, but they're planning to build an ammunition dump near the dam.
1:23 I thought they were spending all that money just to help out a handful of bombers.
1:30 And when I mentioned to the committee
1:32 all of them.
1:34 station within a mile of the
1:36 Depo, they immediately increased the appropriation by half a million dollars.
1:41 50,000 troops.
1:43 50,000 troops.
1:44 But don't forget Mr. Hanlon.
1:46 All of our shipyards are not located on the coast.
1:48 I don't think I understand. Well, I'll believe it or not.
1:53 We have four shipwaves on the lakes.
1:55 Isn't that turning out an average of a ship a month?
1:58 That explains a lot of things.
1:59 With your influence in Washington, why don't you get a bill passed to increase the old-age pension for Glamour Girls? It's wonderful.
2:07 I would not listen here, girlie.
2:09 We're not following this precarious occupation for, uh, love. What our friend is trying to say is that you ought to organize, start a revolving fund.
2:18 Then you'll be able to speak the language that he understands.
2:21 Right?
2:21 Now that you mention it, it is an ideal location for an air base.

2:26 The enemy could never spot it in the air, and it's out of the range of the naval guns.
2:30 are perfectly
2:32 Coffee is served for now. Oh, coffee. I don't know what that brand name is. Well, come on. Wait for me, blondie.
2:41 Oh
3:32 Well, gentlemen, if you ask me, I would say this has been a most successful day.
3:37 Well, it has for me.
3:38 Now I can postpone that strike until the project...
3:41 has eaten up more of the appropriation.
3:46 But, gentlemen,
3:47 Since war has been declared,
3:48 We've learned one lesson.
3:51 We must proceed cautiously.
3:53 I think we should make plans to slip into some neutral country before the Intelligence Bureau gets after us.
3:57 Perhaps when the war hysteria dies down, they will become more lax.
4:02 These Americans are like children.
4:03 They forget quickly the fire that burnt their fingers. Renate?
4:08 We've actually found a very efficient method of prosecuting our war of nerves. No, no, no. I'm not going to accept all things.
4:14 - Captain, I have insistence we could destroy more ammunition plans before we have to leave.
4:20 Last operation of yours.
4:21 carried out with such finesse
4:24 You look.
4:32 Oh
4:33 Oh, my God.
4:44 I may be detained here for some time.
4:51 Oh, uh, are you going back to Cleveland tonight, Kenny? No, I'm staying over for a couple of days.
4:56 Fine. You stop into my office tomorrow morning?
4:58 A gentleman patient to see you, sir.
5:00 Patient?
5:01 I see patients only at my office during the day.
5:03 Ask him to go elsewhere. I explained you seldom saw patients at your home.
5:07 What's his name?
5:08 Mr. Cologne.
5:09 Or rather, Monsieur.
5:11 Never heard of them.
5:12 It's in very urgency.
5:14 In scissors, a medal of life and death. Why don't you see him and get it all over?
5:18 Oh, very well.
5:19 Be back in a moment.
5:20 Oh, Doctor. Don't forget your bedtime minutes. Oh, no.
5:30 Oh.
5:32 That would be all, Steve.
5:34 Oh, my God.
5:39 Dr. Sanders?
5:41 That's right.
5:42 I'm not in the habit of receiving patients in my home.
5:45 Especially at night.
5:46 I have come a long way.
5:49 to see you.
5:50 Amen.
5:51 plenty of other good doctors.
5:53 I'm a very sick man.
5:57 Sit down.
6:08 You don't appear to be in any danger of dying.
6:11 You are quite wrong.
6:14 All men are in danger of dying.
6:17 The important question is,
6:18 When...
6:25 Amen.
6:27 Oh.
6:31 Who are you?
6:35 Just why did you come here?
6:37 Oh, my God.
6:38 Wallace, how are things with you and Detroit?
6:42 Now, faced with a strike, it may tie up my whole plan.
6:44 10,000 men.
6:46 That's too bad.
6:47 Yes, because I'll have to close one of my factories waiting for parts.
6:51 Trouble is, you boys should hire me as a lawyer. Then you could really wreck your business. Listen to him.
6:58 At that, Van Dyke.
6:59 My plant might be able to use you over in Pittsburgh to throw a few monkey wrenches into the legal machinery.
7:04 Must be mistaken.
7:07 I don't know what you're talking about.
7:09 That's strange.
7:11 I was sure you would remember me.
7:15 The voice seems familiar.
7:18 But I'm positive I've never seen your face before.
7:22 You did see me before.
7:25 I've changed, then...
7:28 Yes, you have.
7:31 Amen.
7:33 - Nature! Hands up, dear! No, no, please! Please, I don't deserve this! Please!
7:47 - Someone squeezed.
7:48 Sounded like a banshee.
7:50 Just a momentary upset.
7:53 Nothing serious.
7:54 Sorry, we intruded. Are you sure everything's all right?
7:58 Yes, quite.
8:00 Gentlemen, please accept my apologies.
8:04 I shall be detained longer than I anticipated.
8:06 But in that case, I think we can go.
8:09 Good night. Good night.
8:10 Good night, mate.
8:29 Well, I hope the doctor knows what he's doing.
8:32 So do I.
8:33 His patient looked crazy to me.
8:35 weird sort of fellow at that.
8:37 like a European.
8:39 Seems to mean I've seen him before.
8:40 - Now let's go. - Over the street.
8:45 I'm going to go.
8:55 Oh,
8:57 Oh.
9:02 Oh, my God.
9:10 and be sure
9:12 If you're serving
9:13 understand the instructions I have given you.
9:23 Dr. Sanders wants you...
9:30 You may prepare the guest room for Monsieur Cano.
9:35 He'll be with us for some time.
9:39 Reversa.
9:47 Oh
9:52 Oh,
10:01 What are you doing in my cab? I thought perhaps you're going in my direction. Well, I'm not going in your direction. Mr. Carney, are you quite sure you know in what direction you're really going? Why, of course I know.
10:16 Incidentally,
10:18 How did you learn my name?
10:21 You have I called you Toko Onitobi?
10:34 No.
10:37 I'm going to go.
10:41 What?
10:45 I'm sorry.
11:25 Oh, my God.
11:33 Well, the taxi driver identified the body.
11:36 Somebody picked him up from Dr. Saunders' place. Then all we have to do is grab this Dr. Saunders and ask him what he knows.
11:41 Sure, and put him on his guard, and then where are we?
11:44 No.
11:45 This is one time that we've got to watch our steps. What do you want me to do?
11:49 Suppose you drop in on the dock and see what you can find out without letting them know that we suspect the place.
11:53 We have a report that a niece lives there.
11:56 You might work too hard.
11:57 Don't tell me. Let me guess.
11:59 50, flat-footed and fat, with buck teeth and probably worth of glasses.
12:03 Now, now, look, Jill.
12:05 This is your first case, and we don't want you to come and up, see?
12:07 We don't expect you to marry the girl.
12:09 Just see what you can find out, huh?
12:11 Hey, Chief, I can dream, can't I?
12:14 Good kid.
12:30 Hello.
12:31 You're Stevens, aren't you?
12:32 I'm Alessandra.
12:34 How do you do, Miss Ellis?
12:36 Won't you step in, please? Thank you, sir.
12:45 It's good to be back.
12:47 Where is the answer?
12:48 He's not very well this morning. He's still in bed.
12:50 I wouldn't disturb him just yet.
12:52 So sorry.
12:54 Is it anything serious?
12:55 Well, I don't know, miss.
12:57 He took a little fight out to the dinner party.
12:59 All do.
13:03 Everything looks just the same.
13:04 Anything new?
13:06 Only myself, I'm afraid, Miss.
13:11 Oh
13:17 - Yes? - Miss Sanders was expecting me.
13:19 Take mine.
13:20 Yes.
13:21 Come in, Mr. Spock. Thank you.
13:24 Miss Saunders, would you see a Mr. Martin?
13:27 How do you do it?
13:28 I'm from the department.
13:29 I'd like to see your father, Dr. Saunders.
13:32 He's my uncle.
13:33 He isn't feeling well.
13:35 Is there something I could do?
13:36 Why, yes. Your uncle gave a dinner party here last night.
13:40 You know who his guests were?
13:42 I just survived myself.
13:43 Maybe Stevens could tell you.
13:45 Stevens, was there a man by the name of...
13:47 Kearney here last night? - Yes, sir.
13:50 - Know anything about him? - No.
13:52 If you could tell me what this is all about, maybe I could help.
13:54 Well, you see, the police found the body of Kearney last night.
13:57 He was either murdered or committed suicide.
13:59 - I'm awful.
14:00 And if I could see your uncle, it might clear the matters up.
14:04 I'll try to see.
14:11 Stephen's worth a dime.
14:13 Isn't that, sir?
14:21 Uncle Bill?
14:23 Mm-hmm.
14:29 Uncle Bill?
14:31 It's Alice. I just got in.
14:33 Oh, what is it, dear?
14:36 Uncle Bill, let me in. I'm back.
14:38 Oh, Alice dear, forgive me.
14:40 but I was dozing.
14:42 Stephen said you didn't feel well.
14:44 No, nothing.
14:45 Serious. Nerves, that's all.
14:49 I've decided to remain in my room for a long rest.
14:52 I'm so glad you're back.
14:54 Yeah.
14:57 Can't I come in for a moment?
14:59 I have so much to tell you.
15:03 It's been so many years since I've seen you.
15:05 - Oh, I...
15:07 I'm...
15:07 Sorry.
15:08 Isn't there something I can do for you?
15:16 Are you a new servant?
15:18 Not exactly.
15:20 Rather, a very old friend of your uncle's.
15:22 Monsieur Coulomb.
15:24 I'm Alice. This is me.
15:26 - Speaking.
15:29 You're very sweet.
15:31 A beautiful young woman.
15:33 You'll excuse me.
15:55 I'm sorry.
16:08 What's your first name?
16:09 Richard, but, uh...
16:10 You can call me Dick.
16:13 Oh, Dick!
16:14 This is Monsieur Colon. He's an old friend of Uncle Bill's.
16:16 Dick Martin.
16:18 - How do you do? - It's a pleasure.
16:19 You hit the dinner party last night?
16:22 No.
16:23 I came late, but...
16:24 Do you know a Mr. Kearney?
16:26 - Honey.
16:27 I'm afraid not. You there, something's wrong. Just a slight case of murder.
16:32 back.
16:33 Can I help in any way?
16:35 Nope.
16:36 Excuse me.
16:38 I'm not sure.
16:43 - I'm sorry.
16:53 Tentable, isn't he?
16:55 I'd hate to meet him in the dark alley.
16:58 Oh, I don't know.
16:59 Make it a moonlight night on a park bench.
17:01 It might be exciting.
17:03 Oh, yeah?
17:07 What's this first name business?
17:09 Well, uh,
17:10 I didn't know him any better than you did.
17:13 How long has he lived here?
17:14 I don't know that either. How about yourself?
17:17 from you.
17:19 Listen, do I see the uncle or don't I?
17:22 He must be terribly ill.
17:23 He wouldn't even see me.
17:25 What is business?
17:28 You scared living here like this?
17:31 You better come along with me.
17:32 I think I can take care of myself.
17:35 What's your name?
17:37 Oh.
17:38 Thank you, Alex.
17:42 See you later.
18:15 for your room, Mr. Salas.
18:18 - Stephen.
18:19 Tell me something about our guests.
18:21 Well, there's not much I know.
18:23 When he came here last evening, I thought he was simply another patient of miracles.
18:28 He's an interesting man.
18:30 Yes.
18:31 - Right.
18:35 I'm going to go.
18:46 - Immediately.
18:48 He's not very well this morning, sir. He's still in bed.
18:50 He'll see me. He'll tell him it won't.
18:51 Yes, sir.
18:53 Will the police wait?
19:06 Oh, my God.
19:34 Oh
19:38 I told you I wasn't the biggest
19:40 Don't.
19:41 Is Mr. Wallace there?
19:42 - He's below.
19:43 Please obey my orders.
19:58 Well?
20:00 - It's possible, sir. Dr. Sanders can't see you. - Don't.
20:22 I'm going to go.
20:45 Oh
20:49 Amen.
20:54 Could the medical history of a sick person possibly interest an industrialist from Detroit?
21:00 You're the man who came here last night. As a patient, Mr. Wallace, as a patient.
21:19 I'm going to go.
21:37 Is this some of you?
21:38 Mr. Wallace, miss. He just left.
21:41 I heard a funny noise.
21:42 Is this room below mine? Yes, ma'am.
21:45 Then it came from here.
21:46 I'm going to go.
21:48 I'm going to go.
21:53 Is there something wrong?
21:55 I heard a strange noise like a body falling.
21:57 Oh, I was stumbling. I was awkward.
21:59 Yes, but there were
22:01 Gurgling sound.
22:02 Oh, I was humming.
22:05 Is my voice as bad as that?
22:07 Come on.
22:11 - I'm sorry.
22:14 HAVE YOU KNOWN MY UNCLE VERY LONG?
22:17 I'm...
22:18 passed so swiftly, it's hard to say.
22:21 I think I first met him abroad.
22:24 some kind of international meeting, I believe.
22:28 I'm going to have the pleasure of your company very long.
22:31 It depends on...
22:33 Circumstances.
22:36 You sound like a man of destiny.
22:39 One must not flirt.
22:41 at once, destiny.
22:44 with the world in the condition it is today.
22:47 Aren't we all flirting with destiny?
22:50 I suppose I finish my book upstairs. Oh, no, please. I didn't mean to disturb you.
22:55 Excuse me.
23:01 *Tonk*
23:38 Oh
23:41 I'm going to go.
23:52 Love.
23:55 Yes?
23:56 to Van Dijkers of Chicago.
23:58 Put 'em on.
24:01 Hello, John.
24:02 What is the time?
24:04 Nine adds three plus nine.
24:06 And you tell me.
24:09 Okay.
24:10 Listen later.
24:11 Have you seen the headlines?
24:13 I certainly have.
24:14 I never knew Carney had heart trouble.
24:16 It didn't.
24:17 It was only 34. Sound as a dollar.
24:19 That Japanese dagger, what about that?
24:22 One of us ought to go immediately back to Washington.
24:25 I tried to get Dr. Saunders on the phone, but he's sick, according to the butler.
24:29 Wallace is still registered at this hotel, but he's out.
24:32 Maybe we can catch him before he returns to Detroit.
24:36 Both of us should go back.
24:37 I'll grab the first plane out of Pittsburgh here and meet you in front of Wallace's hotel.
24:41 Good.
24:41 See you then.
24:48 Good morning, ma'am, Mr. Ryder.
24:50 Here's the letter. Perhaps it should have been thrown in the basket, but it seemed rather strange.
24:54 Why?
24:55 It's a plastic surgery ad, but it mentions no name.
24:58 That'll be all, Miss Hanson.
25:12 Yes, Mr. Ryder.
25:13 Get me Amos Hanlon in New York, the Exchange Bank.
25:17 I'm going to go.
25:22 Mr. Hanlon, Mr. Ryder calling long distance from Pittsburgh.
25:30 Hanlon speaking.
25:33 Come on.
25:47 Come on.
25:49 Come on.
25:57 Mr. Philip Wallace.
25:58 I think I saw you walk to the elevator a few moments ago.
26:01 You may tell us on his room, if you please. I do.
26:08 Mr. Wallace's room.
26:11 Here.
26:13 What?
26:14 Is that you?
26:15 Who is it?
26:16 Ryder.
26:17 What time is it, Warren?
26:20 Nine, add three plus nine, then you tell me.
26:26 Two, one.
26:29 Van Dyke is with me. We better steal right away.
26:32 Come up to my room.
26:39 I'm going to go.
26:51 No. No.
27:19 Water.
27:33 Wallet.
27:34 No.
27:46 What could he be? He obviously isn't here.
27:50 I'm going to try again to get sauntered.
27:55 I want Dr. Saunders.
27:56 National 6516.
28:01 I want to talk to Dr. Saunders.
28:03 I'm very sorry, but Dr. Saunders is still confined to his room.
28:07 Don't bother.
28:08 I just want to make sure he was there.
28:11 - Hello!
28:15 Put your hand away. I think I was a child. Make good the way you fellow.
28:21 I see it in his hand.
28:35 A Japanese dagger. A Japanese dagger.
28:36 Now, Walter.
28:42 That's it.
28:47 Come on.
29:08 Nothing in the hall.
29:10 I'm gonna call the police, you fool.
29:12 You want them playing around in our business?
29:14 that happened to be like Wallace there.
29:16 Don't you realize we're at war with this country?
29:18 I saw you.
29:20 We're far warned.
29:21 Now we're four armed. I guess you're right.
29:25 He's on the back stairs.
29:28 Come on.
29:57 I
30:02 No!
30:03 Come on.
30:15 Ah! Ah!
30:19 Come on.
30:29 There's someone in my room.
30:43 Oh!
30:44 What's the matter with you?
30:46 There was a horrible something in my room. Are you quite sure it wasn't a nightmare? Oh, it most certainly wasn't.
30:54 There was no one in your room, Miss.
30:56 I couldn't find a trace. Shall I look outside? Yes, please do.
31:01 No one.
31:02 You see?
31:03 You think my eyes are playing tricks on me?
31:07 When a young woman's nurse commenced to give way,
31:10 This time, she sought refuge in a strong man's arms.
31:14 I just ran into yours.
31:15 Mine might be dangerous.
31:19 Come on.
31:22 You're a strange man.
31:24 I've been trying to make you out.
31:26 Why try?
31:27 Curiosity killed a cat.
31:29 Right.
31:30 Don't misunderstand.
31:32 I'm not sure as bothering your pretty head about.
31:35 What if I think differently?
31:36 then I would say that you're a silly young creature.
31:39 Why did we leave the cab down the street and walk?
31:42 Just a precaution. I still think we should notify the police. After all, we can prove we're Americans.
31:47 We just can't afford to risk the publicity.
31:59 Come on.
32:03 I want to see the doctor immediately.
32:05 I'm very sorry, sir. If he will, I'll go up to his room. Perhaps I'd better speak to him first.
32:17 Come on.
32:19 Come on.
32:21 Hey.
32:24 Which is his room?
32:26 I won't need you.
32:36 Saunders.
32:37 Ryder?
32:39 Let me in. I've got to talk to you.
32:41 Go ahead and talk. I'm not seeing anyone.
32:44 You know, of course, about Churney.
32:46 He's dead, yes, I know.
32:48 Well, so is Walter.
32:50 Van Dyke and I found him in his hotel room.
32:53 The point is...
32:54 Van Dyke is breaking.
32:56 Lost his nerves.
32:58 wants to seek protection with the police.
33:00 There's only one protection against a weakling rider.
33:04 Take the outside door to my cellar.
33:07 I needn't tell you more.
33:28 I thought he was going to meet us in the cellar. I want to talk to him.
33:30 I thought he was ill, confined to his room. Only a subterfuge.
34:07 Close the door.
34:08 All right.
34:09 Never mind.
34:10 Hurry.
34:15 You seem to know your way around, Ryder.
34:18 I was down here once before.
34:29 Right.
34:31 I have a strange feeling
34:34 This is a trap.
34:36 Where are the lights?
34:38 Right now.
34:40 Why isn't Saunders here?
34:42 The important thing...
34:44 You're here.
34:46 You turn weakling, Van Dyke. We can't afford to take any chances with you.
34:51 Come on.
34:54 Come on.
35:15 Oh, my God.
35:21 You were both very accommodating.
35:24 Mr. Ryder?
35:36 Come on.
35:46 Come on!
36:12 Come on.
36:20 Ah!
36:21 Ha!
36:22 Come on.
36:37 I don't know what it's all about, but I like it.
36:40 There's a body in the basement.
36:42 A what? A body. Right by the cellar stairs. I stumbled over it. Let's take a look.
36:48 Come on.
37:02 It was right here.
37:03 Mr. Murnau?
37:14 Let's get out of here. Oh, Alice, there's nothing to be frightened of.
37:17 Well, I don't like it.
37:18 Come on.
37:20 Come on.
37:28 I'm going to go.
37:38 Come on.
37:42 I'm going to go.
37:50 I can't understand it. I know I stumbled over something.
37:52 Maybe I'm going drafty. Well, here's something else that's darn queer.
37:56 This man, Wallace, was another guest of Yorkville's.
37:59 That makes two of them.
38:01 Oh, this is terrible.
38:03 Stevens, where have you been?
38:04 The dining room, sir.
38:05 You haven't been in the cellar, have you? No.
38:10 Kenneth?
38:13 Boy, that's incredible.
38:16 I know both at that dinner, too.
38:18 Alice, I'm going upstairs and talk to your uncle if I have to break that door in. It might be better if I spoke to Dr. Saunders.
38:24 I might have more influence.
38:26 Monsieur Cologne, I stumbled over a body in the cellar.
38:30 It's still there? No, it disappeared.
38:33 Perhaps it is your nerves, I guess. There's nothing wrong with Miss Saunders' nerves. Of course not.
38:37 Come on, Alice.
38:39 A body in the cellar?
38:49 Come on.
38:54 Come on.
38:58 Come on.
39:02 See that?
39:08 Uncle Bill!
39:09 Uncle Bill!
39:11 Uncle Bill, I have to see you. Something terrible has happened. I'm very tired, dear.
39:15 Please don't disturb me. Dr. Saunders, two of your friends who were here last night are dead.
39:20 Well, it's most unfortunate.
39:22 Harkville, probably.
39:24 I know, Uncle, but there's someone dead down in our cellar. Alice, I'm afraid your imagination is running away with you.
39:30 No, it isn't. Alice, I insist you allow no disturbance to be made. My own condition won't stand it. Matters are quite all right in the house. But, Uncle... Please obey me, Alice.
39:43 Very well.
39:49 That door always been locked since you've been here?
39:51 Yes.
39:52 I haven't even seen him.
39:53 No, I haven't.
39:55 Who takes care of him? Peeds him.
39:57 Stevens or Monsieur Cologne.
39:59 It's okay.
40:00 Fine pair. I don't like either one. I'm gonna take you out of here. It's too dangerous.
40:06 I'm not frightened. I'll be all right.
40:08 If anything happens, you take and call me here.
40:11 All right.
40:12 Good night.
40:13 Good night.
40:27 Good night, young man.
40:29 Good afternoon, monsieur.
40:31 I'm going to go.
40:35 Come on.
40:39 I'm going to go.
40:55 I'm not.
41:38 One time.
41:40 Come on.
41:44 Two more.
41:47 And it was right here I found the body of Mr. Kernion.
41:50 And just about this time,
41:53 No harm further this time. It's murder.
41:58 Jack Daggers.
41:59 Oh, judging by their clothes, there were no tramps either.
42:02 Now get busy, officer. Get on the phone. Right.
42:14 All right.
42:15 But Stevens the butler has disappeared. Do you have any idea where he could have gone?
42:20 No, he just hasn't come back.
42:23 Okay, Alice, watch her step and I'll be over as soon as I can.
42:27 That's a lot of bunkers, is it? Miss Onger says the butler's disappeared.
42:31 Well, this is one time I refused to suspect the butler in the case.
42:34 There's no doubt those men found that the Jap embassy were murdered, but what do you make of those two daggers in their hands? Well, it adds up to only one thing.
42:41 The man who did the job was also responsible for the Kearney and Wallace murders.
42:45 Who was the best guest at Saunders' house that evening?
42:48 Handling the bankers.
42:50 Oh, I think I see what you're driving at.
42:52 It may only be a hunch, but if we take Hanlon to Dr. Saunders, we may force the real murderer out into the open.
43:00 Suppose you grab a plane, Dick, and have a little talk with this handman. Point out to him the danger that he's in and...
43:06 See if you can get him to come to Washington with you.
43:08 I'm going to go.
43:23 Yes?
43:25 Mr. Hadwin, a special delivery letter for you.
43:27 And since the envelope has a black border, I thought you had won it immediately.
43:31 Bring it in.
43:33 Come on.
43:52 I'm going to go.
44:22 I'm not.
44:41 Alice, will you marry me?
44:43 What for? So I can beat you up.
44:45 The only way I can get you out of here. Say, has the butler shown up yet?
44:49 No, he's probably frightened and quit his job. Alice, you were right. There was a body in the cellar last night. You know that?
44:56 I'm positive of it.
44:57 Only there were two bodies.
44:59 They were found on the steps of the Japanese embassy with a dagger clutch in each hand.
45:03 And they weren't killed there.
45:04 Their bodies were dumped there.
45:06 Why should you think they came from here?
45:08 There were two more of your uncle's dinner guests who were here that night.
45:13 Mr. Martin.
45:15 I found this note in the dining room from the butler.
45:20 It's Stevens. He's gone to see a sick friend.
45:23 Brand new alibi, eh? You recognize the handwriting?
45:26 No. Yes, I recognize it.
45:29 You would.
45:30 You doubt me?
45:32 I'm not accusing anyone, Colon.
45:34 All I know is that four men are dead under mysterious circumstances after leaving this house.
45:39 Possible coincidence.
45:40 At most, unfortunately.
45:42 Yes. There's only one guest left alive.
45:45 Handle it.
45:46 Let us hope that Mr. Hanlin escapes the fate of the others.
45:51 Yeah.
45:52 Get your hat, Alice.
45:55 As long as Monsieur Cologne is here, I feel perfectly safe.
45:59 Self-care. So low.
46:06 A nice fellow.
46:08 I hope you'll be happy.
46:10 You're leaving?
46:12 Yes, I must.
46:13 Most unfortunate.
46:14 But Durante will understand.
46:16 Will we see you again?
46:18 Who knows in this crazy world
46:30 Oh, my God.
47:12 All right, come on, Cologne.
47:23 Well, that gentleman is my considered decision.
47:27 This institution will not lend its support to any company, even in this emergency,
47:31 which permits itself to be forced into bankruptcy
47:34 because of the demand of its employees.
47:39 What is it?
47:40 There's a gentleman here to see you. No, I'm too busy.
47:43 I think you should see this man immediately, Mr. Hanlon.
47:49 Very well.
47:50 There, there, gentlemen. You see what a slave, even a banker, can be to his secretary.
47:55 We'll continue this talk after lunch.
47:59 I'm going to go.
48:09 And?
48:11 Yes, I'm Dick Martin.
48:14 Sit down, Mr. Martin.
48:16 I don't have to tell you, Mr. Hadlin, but in the past 48 hours, four of your friends have died.
48:22 Well, I'm not exactly illiterate, you know. I can read the newspapers.
48:26 I gather you're not frightened either.
48:28 A busy man has very little time to indulge in feminine emotions.
48:32 Just what do you want?
48:34 I'm hearing your interest, Mr. Hanlon, and possibly the interest of this country.
48:38 In the present emergency, we can't afford to lose any of the much needed business leaders.
48:43 And you think my life is in danger?
48:45 I'm almost certain of it.
48:50 Here's something I received in the morning mail.
48:53 I hadn't intended to speak of it.
48:56 Do you have any idea who the murderer or murderers might be?
49:00 I do not.
49:01 If I had, I would inform the police. Of course.
49:05 As a good American, Mr. Hanlon, possibly you will be willing to cooperate with our department in trapping the criminals.
49:11 Just what have you in your mind?
49:14 Well, we're reasonably certain that these killings have occurred in or near Dr. Saunders' home in Washington.
49:21 I see. And you want me to act as a decoy or bait.
49:25 Is that it?
49:26 Of course, there will be danger.
49:28 Well, I'm not afraid of danger.
49:31 I'd like very much to meet this murderer.
49:35 Even more than you.
49:37 Good. We'll take the first plane back to Washington.
49:39 May I use that phone?
49:52 Chief, you cover the inside of the house. Be sure you keep your eye on handling. I'll take the outside. Okay.
50:07 In there, Hanlon.
50:11 Come on.
50:12 I'm sorry.
50:14 Come on.
50:17 All right, let's have a look at upstairs.
50:19 You're not going to leave me here alone.
50:21 He'll be here with you.
50:32 This is Cologne's room.
50:33 You mean it was?
50:35 Mr. Saunders.
50:39 All right, Saunders, come on out or we're coming in.
50:46 I thought you said this was always locked. It always has been.
50:52 Come on.
51:08 Come on.
51:10 Mm-mm!
51:12 Mmm.
51:14 I thought so.
51:17 Should have been messing you up too, ain't you, old Thomas?
51:20 - Any other rooms? - No.
51:23 Sevens quarters, anything like that? One small one downstairs.
51:28 Come on.
51:29 Listen, Chief. Oh, don't talk to me. You've messed up everything as it is.
51:35 Take it easy, Stevens. Over there on the couch. Hold on.
51:41 No, no, no, no, I...
51:43 I'm all right.
51:44 Who is this?
51:45 Stevens, a missing butler.
51:46 What happened to you?
51:48 He was slugged and tied up in their basement. You didn't happen to do that to yourself, did you? Why, no, sir, I...
51:53 Stevens, did you write this?
51:55 No.
51:57 Cologne again.
51:58 Or Dr. Sanders, who also disappeared.
52:00 Saunders missing? Yeah.
52:03 What do you know about that?
52:05 Why nothing, sir.
52:07 Who fed him?
52:08 Well, I didn't.
52:09 What illness was he suffering from? I don't know, sir.
52:12 When I brought him his food, he always spoke from an anti-roomer or a dark corner.
52:16 You couldn't have possibly have sneaked in there just once and pet him, could you? Well, I... Yeah, you fell down on the job.
52:22 Who, Miss Saunders? Oh, Miss Saunders, my eyes. She's my best girl.
52:25 Your best girl...
52:26 My best girl operator.
52:28 Or was.
52:30 So you're a Flatwood, eh?
52:32 How well did you know Saunders?
52:33 I know him slightly in a business way.
52:36 Did you know that he was supposed to mysteriously disappear from a ship in the Orient ten years ago?
52:41 Why, that's ridiculous. Something new, Chief?
52:44 No, this is something old.
52:45 See, the real Miss Saunders came to my office.
52:48 She's been living abroad for the last 10 years on the legacy.
52:50 When she saw this picture of her uncle in the paper, she figured something was wrong.
52:54 Well, I figured if somebody was posing as her uncle, I could put someone... This has nothing to do with me. I'm leaving. Oh, sit down.
53:13 We'll find out who you are by 12 o'clock.
53:17 Better get him a drink.
53:18 I'll get it.
53:35 At last we leave. And then... I call you... a saki.
53:47 - That's what was in my room. - Who are you?
53:50 Dr. Saunders! Hang him in there.
53:52 All right, Doc, take it easy. Cologne! Cologne! Look out for Cologne!
54:00 I'm going to go.
54:08 Hold it, huh?
54:11 - The Alham? - Sure, it's Cologne.
54:14 Looks like we're too late.
54:16 - At least your hunch was right.
54:18 All right, come on, you.
54:24 The shimmy in back.
54:26 Yes, yes!
54:28 He's a man!
54:30 Hey, Dr. Nutscher!
54:31 - He is a big shifflon! - Mad.
54:35 Then who will be there?
54:38 It all started some time ago in my homeland.
54:50 I'll hit the...
54:52 I'm fine with that.
54:55 Hey, Peter.
55:00 It was considerate of your Fuhrer to...
55:04 permit you to come here to serve us.
55:07 You're famous.
55:09 plastic surgery, Mr.
55:12 Well-known in lads of rising sun.
55:16 This is my first request of wholesale surgery.
55:20 Are these my subjects?
55:23 Yeah.
55:25 All trusted members of
55:27 The author of...
55:30 Greg.
55:30 Faggots.
55:32 Ready to serve...
55:34 Empire.
55:35 Until...
55:38 Dad.
55:41 And Americans...
55:42 They are to impersonate.
55:44 You have photos of them?
55:45 I will need many angles.
55:47 All right.
55:48 Better than that.
55:50 We have...
55:51 Perfect.
55:52 Bethacus.
55:55 Step back.
55:57 Oh.
55:58 Good.
55:59 I shall be ready to operate as soon as the surgery is prepared.
56:05 This is Dr. Nacuche. He will assist you.
56:13 This way, Herr Doktor.
57:11 I'm going to go.
57:44 Huh?
57:48 Huh?
57:51 Remove your ropes.
58:02 The transformation is...
58:05 Complete.
58:08 A patient.
58:10 Your ability was well-founded.
58:13 Honorable Dr.
58:15 We owe you
58:18 And you're sure, uh...
58:21 Our dire gratitude.
58:24 Come on.
58:25 for what you have done for us.
58:28 Anything I can do to hasten the establishment of our new order...
58:32 and to destroy the archaic democracies,
58:34 honor
58:35 and the privilege.
58:38 Where are you?
58:40 You accompany this man...
58:42 And they will see that you are...
58:45 Peter Gray.
58:47 rewarded.
59:00 Come on.
59:14 Wait here, Doctor.
59:17 What's the meaning of this?
59:21 I'm a member of the party.
59:23 The Fuhrer will hear of this. That's just what we're going to prevent.
59:27 The little trick we learned from you Nazis.
59:29 Leave no evidence behind.
59:31 Let no sentimentality stand in your way.
59:33 You're the only one who knows our real identity.
59:36 This is merely a precaution to make sure that no one else finds them out.
59:40 All right.
59:45 Sorry we have to ask you to do that.
59:47 to share these quarters with someone else.
59:54 But he won't be with us for long, Herr Doctor.
1:00:00 You will pay for this, you apes.
1:00:03 The Fuhrer will wipe you off the face of the earth.
1:00:32 Come on.
1:00:40 I'm
1:00:46 So you get out of here, huh?
1:00:49 He evidently made good his escape to America and set out to kill us one by one.
1:00:56 Oh, I was necessary to the completion of his plans.
1:01:01 Daddy inoculated me with an insidious serum.
1:01:04 which quickly transformed me into this horrid monster you see before you!
1:01:13 And you must go on living.
1:01:17 Hey, no!
1:01:18 Oh!
1:01:19 I want this!
1:01:20 Get out of this!
1:01:22 I lost.
