00:01:29Good morning, young fellow.
00:01:32Do you know what fools we mortals see?
00:01:35Huh? Do you? I think you do.
00:01:37Well, don't tell anyone.
00:01:39Let it be our little secret.
00:01:48Good morning, Dr. Baxter.
00:01:49Good morning, constable.
00:01:55Why, you poor little chap, you must be freezing.
00:01:58I've got a good mind to report you to the police.
00:02:00A man has to make a living.
00:02:02Yes, if that kind of living you'll make out here this early in the morning.
00:02:10Hey, hold on a minute.
00:02:13I said hold on!
00:02:31All right, all right.
00:02:33Let's take a look at the hurdy-gurdy.
00:02:36Sure.
00:02:39Go right ahead.
00:02:50Very good. Very good indeed.
00:02:53When he give, his thumb on one side, his finger on the other should leave good print.
00:02:58You're right. It's very well defined.
00:03:02Vivica!
00:03:05He wasn't at all aware of being photographed, was he?
00:03:09He talk to the monkey.
00:03:11He say, what fools we mortals be.
00:03:14And I take his picture.
00:03:16That sounds as if he were our man.
00:03:18I'm sure he is.
00:03:20Frau Hartmann?
00:03:22Please cable Lisbon. We are sending a shipment by air today.
00:03:28He wasn't at all suspicious, was he?
00:03:30No, not at all.
00:03:31But there was a constable. He followed me.
00:03:34Oh, he did?
00:03:35Yes, he ran after me.
00:03:36But you were the faster runner and you got away.
00:03:38No, he caught me.
00:03:40He spotted the camera.
00:03:42But don't worry.
00:03:44While he was bending down looking, I...
00:03:48And he's dead.
00:03:59You were a long time coming, Inspector.
00:04:02And I stopped over to break the news to his wife.
00:04:05How did she take it?
00:04:07How did you expect her to take it?
00:04:09Find anything?
00:04:10Nothing. Nobody saw anything. Nobody heard it.
00:04:13Morning, Thor.
00:04:14Morning, Inspector.
00:04:20Look, you're wasting your time.
00:04:22The Montreal Homicide boys have been over every inch of it.
00:04:24Take it easy, Sarge.
00:04:26How can I? He was my friend.
00:04:28He was my friend, too.
00:04:30I'm sorry. I lost my head, Inspector.
00:04:33Well, find it.
00:04:35You'll need your head if we're going to discover who committed this murder.
00:04:38Well, why would anyone want to kill a decent man like Dan Percy?
00:04:42Perhaps the murderer didn't stop to ask if he was decent.
00:04:49I said a double scotch and soda.
00:04:51I'm sorry. They say no more scotch and soda.
00:04:54I'm sorry. They say no more credit.
00:04:56What do you mean, no more credit?
00:04:58I had drinks before on the cuff.
00:05:00They say the cuff is full.
00:05:02Permit me, Senor. I couldn't help overhearing.
00:05:05You have no money and debt.
00:05:07Some people knock on wood.
00:05:09When I get in the jam, I always get a shoe shine.
00:05:11Just like Aladdin rubbing his lamb.
00:05:13You shine your shoes and here I am.
00:05:15Senor Victor, allow me to offer you the loan of my cuff.
00:05:18Waiter, bring Senor Victor whatever his heart desires.
00:05:21Double scotch and soda.
00:05:23Here, Senor.
00:05:25Thanks, Buster.
00:05:28How did you know my name?
00:05:30Everybody does. The great Joe Victor.
00:05:32Very famous.
00:05:34I was once upon a time.
00:05:36Still, Senor Victor, still.
00:05:39They still talk of you.
00:05:41I guess I was a pretty big wheel at that.
00:05:44Look at you now.
00:05:46They kicked you out of your country for something you didn't do.
00:05:49I wasn't even there.
00:05:51Of course not.
00:05:52What do you expect?
00:05:54With your reputation, if somewhere a crime is committed they cannot solve,
00:05:58whom do they blame?
00:06:00Joe Victor.
00:06:05If only you could go back, huh?
00:06:07Plant your feet on your native soil.
00:06:10Breathe that friendly air.
00:06:14Just for one minute?
00:06:16It's possible, you know.
00:06:18Yes, yes.
00:06:22Who are you?
00:06:35What do you want and what's your pitch?
00:06:38Finish your drink, Senor.
00:06:53Not me. I don't knock anybody off.
00:06:55Knock off?
00:06:57Killing is not my racket.
00:06:59Oh, no, Senor. No, no, no.
00:07:01We don't want you to kill him.
00:07:03All we want you to do is to make him mad.
00:07:06Mad?
00:07:08Mad.
00:07:10Mad.
00:07:12Mad.
00:07:14Mad.
00:07:16Mad.
00:07:18Mad.
00:07:20All we want you to do is to make him vanish right into our hands.
00:07:24And it's possible to get for us whatever it is he's working on.
00:07:31We will pay you well.
00:07:3420,000 in advance.
00:07:3980,000 on delivery.
00:07:51Velvet. Real velvet.
00:07:54That'll take more than money to get me back home.
00:07:56Yes. Your steamship ticket.
00:07:59Your passport with your new identity.
00:08:02You'll be Ernst Steiner, refugee to Canada.
00:08:06What do I do in Canada?
00:08:08It's just across the border.
00:08:10One little step and you are in your native land.
00:08:12What do you say, Senor?
00:08:15This character, what does he do?
00:08:18Does it matter?
00:08:20Sure it does.
00:08:22Who's ever paying the bills must want them awful bad.
00:08:25Maybe I'm working too cheap.
00:08:27Maybe you are.
00:08:29That's the best I can do.
00:08:32I can't pull this job alone.
00:08:35I'll need a few of my boys.
00:08:37And expenses.
00:08:39You're driving a hard bargain, Senor.
00:08:42You'll be on the steamship tomorrow morning.
00:08:49Excuse me, Inspector. Dr. Macklin.
00:08:52How do you do, Inspector?
00:08:54I'm sorry to have inconvenienced you, Dr. Macklin.
00:08:57Oh, if I had something to contribute, I would have come myself.
00:09:01Well, I've requested your presence on the off chance that you might be of help.
00:09:05I've had the area near the hotel on fire.
00:09:08I'm afraid I can't help you.
00:09:10I'm afraid I can't help you.
00:09:12I'm afraid I can't help you.
00:09:14Well, I've requested your presence on the off chance that you might be of help.
00:09:18I've had the area near the hotel on the surveillance.
00:09:21And I find that you've been in the habit of taking a walk every morning...
00:09:25about the same time that Constable Percy was murdered.
00:09:28Remember seeing him that morning?
00:09:30Yes.
00:09:31Where?
00:09:32In front of the hotel.
00:09:33He lived close by and we usually passed each other on our way to work.
00:09:37Was anyone with him?
00:09:39No.
00:09:40There aren't many people about at that hour.
00:09:43Not that I remember.
00:09:44And you don't recollect seeing anyone else?
00:09:49No.
00:09:50Well, a monkey and an organ grinder.
00:09:54An organ grinder? That early in the morning?
00:10:13Welcome to Canada and to freedom, Mr. Steiner.
00:10:37Mr. Du Bois?
00:10:38Du Bois, your sponsor.
00:10:40Okay, buddy.
00:10:41Sponsor one of these.
00:10:43It would not look well for me to carry the luggage...
00:10:46of the man who comes to Canada to work on my farm.
00:10:49Before we go anywhere, Buster, let's get this straight.
00:10:52I didn't come here to milk cows.
00:10:54Just for appearance's sake.
00:10:57No, he's not the man either, Inspector.
00:11:01Well, that's all of them.
00:11:04Are you sure it was an organ grinder?
00:11:07Absolutely.
00:11:09You see, Inspector, I have a conviction...
00:11:12that a civilized man can't have an organ grinder.
00:11:16I don't think so.
00:11:18I don't think so either.
00:11:20I don't think so either.
00:11:22Inspector, I have a conviction...
00:11:24that a civilized man cannot use his knowledge...
00:11:27to improve the world.
00:11:29He better have remained in the tree.
00:11:31And I remember saying this to the monkey...
00:11:33and dropping a coin in the monkey's cup.
00:11:36Perhaps it wasn't an organ grinder at all...
00:11:39but someone posing as one.
00:11:42Why would a man do that?
00:11:45Why would a man talk to a monkey?
00:11:48Where is he?
00:12:15Who's this joker?
00:12:17He is the man who gives the orders.
00:12:19Joe Victor, Monsieur Hartman.
00:12:21So go ahead. Start ordering.
00:12:24My friend the wine merchant tells me...
00:12:26you drive a hard bargain.
00:12:28Do you know about my associates?
00:12:30Yes. Just give them a minute.
00:12:32I'll be right back.
00:12:34I'll be right back.
00:12:36I'll be right back.
00:12:38I'll be right back.
00:12:40I'll be right back.
00:12:42Do you know about my associates?
00:12:44Yes. Just give their names to Dubois.
00:12:46He'll arrange for them to come to Montreal.
00:12:49Put in a call for Nick Johnis.
00:12:51Club Magnana, Mexico City.
00:12:55This character, where does he live?
00:12:58He's a total chaplain.
00:13:00What kind of a guy is he?
00:13:02Friendly type with a lot of people around?
00:13:04Like solitude. Lives alone.
00:13:06When you say alone, you mean no dames?
00:13:09He's dedicated to his work.
00:13:11There are a lot of guys like that until the right woman comes along.
00:13:15Maybe we can find the right woman for him.
00:13:18Aren't you being just a little primitive?
00:13:24Well, you see, there's a name I got in mind.
00:13:26She'd make anybody turn primitive.
00:13:28You should know, Mr. Victor.
00:13:30I sure do, bud.
00:13:32She gave me a couple of scars, and I still carry them around.
00:13:35Don't forget, one man's meat might be another man's poison.
00:13:40Now, two mornings a week,
00:13:42Mr. Mecklen teaches physics at McGill University.
00:13:45He dines either at the club or the hotel.
00:13:48What kind of a club?
00:13:50Members of the faculty belong.
00:13:53After dinner, he usually plays chess.
00:13:56Chess?
00:13:58An intellectual game you wouldn't know of, right?
00:14:01When the weather is fine, he plays golf
00:14:03two or three afternoons a week.
00:14:05If it isn't, he goes up to Mount Royal to ski or skate.
00:14:10Now you're talking.
00:14:12The dames in the organization go in for sports?
00:14:16Yeah, I guess you would call it that.
00:14:18You sure this guy has no women in his life?
00:14:21I got a one-track mind.
00:14:23Yes.
00:14:25He's got a charwoman.
00:14:28Fat and 40.
00:14:32Try again.
00:14:34That's all.
00:14:35Yes, one moment.
00:14:37Here's your man.
00:14:42Nick?
00:14:43Yeah, who is it?
00:14:45Nick, it's the boss. I'm back.
00:14:47The boss?
00:14:49It's great to hear your voice.
00:14:51What's the pitch?
00:14:53We're back in business.
00:14:55I need you to get in touch with Maury.
00:15:02It's for you, Maury.
00:15:17Jack, if it's a dame, tell her I left town.
00:15:20If it's a dame, she has a bass voice and answers to the name of Nick.
00:15:25It's been a while, Nick.
00:15:28I'm sorry, I was busy.
00:15:30You're not busy.
00:15:32I'm busy with business.
00:15:34You're not busy.
00:15:36I'm busy with business.
00:15:38You're not busy.
00:15:40I'm busy.
00:15:42I'm busy.
00:15:45I'm busy.
00:15:47I'm busy.
00:15:49I'm busy.
00:15:51I'm busy.
00:15:53Send me a gracias, senorita.
00:15:55Por una hora.
00:16:08It's old Saint Nick himself.
00:16:12Well, climb back up the chimney.
00:16:14I don't like your brand of toys.
00:16:16Nice layout.
00:16:18Who's paying the freight?
00:16:20My clients.
00:16:21Clients?
00:16:22Clients. The kind of talent you wouldn't know anything about.
00:16:27All right, Nicky, let's have the bad news.
00:16:29It isn't bad. It's good.
00:16:31The big boy's back.
00:16:34You're kidding.
00:16:36Nope. He's back and he's whistling for you.
00:16:38Well, stick your head in his cell and tell him I'm not listening.
00:16:41But he's not in jail.
00:16:43Then J. Edgar Hoover must be slipping.
00:16:46That was a one-way ticket he gave Mr. Victor.
00:16:49Look, somebody dug up the dough for a round trip to Canada.
00:16:52And whoever it was must be loaded.
00:16:54Because he's paying Joe a bundle for a job.
00:16:56And Joe wants to cut you in for a chunk.
00:16:59For old time's sake.
00:17:01Why not? You know how he goes for you.
00:17:04So much he almost took me to jail with him.
00:17:07He didn't, though.
00:17:08Well, thank him for me.
00:17:12And I'll Nicky goodbye.
00:17:14Say, this is a nice layout you've got here.
00:17:17Real nice.
00:17:19Real classy.
00:17:22Respectable, too.
00:17:24Looks like you're doing real good collecting nickels and dimes.
00:17:27You can't get rich, but it's security.
00:17:30Yes, it is.
00:17:32I like it.
00:17:34That's why I'm staying.
00:17:36If you like it, you'd better listen when Joe whistles.
00:17:39Or I'll put a word in the right place and this joint will fall right under your feet.
00:17:43So hang a sign on the door that you've gone fishing.
00:17:46We're getting out of here tomorrow.
00:18:14Well, that's about it, Inspector.
00:18:19How close a resemblance do you think that is?
00:18:22Pretty close.
00:18:23No, the face is pretty messy. The structure is all there.
00:18:26Do you want a clay model of him?
00:18:27No, no, that's fine.
00:18:29Oh, uh, anything interesting, Paul?
00:18:32Oh, have a peek.
00:18:38Looks like a hair.
00:18:41Looks like a hair.
00:18:43It is. Found it on the dead bloke's head.
00:18:45I don't know anything odd about that.
00:18:47Not if I'd found it on a monkey.
00:18:52Monkey?
00:18:55Michael, give that head a body and a barrel organ.
00:18:59Right.
00:19:02Monkey.
00:19:05I would say he's your man, Inspector.
00:19:08Was.
00:19:10He's dead.
00:19:12He was killed about the same time that Constable Percy was murdered.
00:19:15So you're right where you started, Ralph.
00:19:17Hmm.
00:19:19Charts.
00:19:21Books.
00:19:23Equations.
00:19:26It's wonderful how the human mind can absorb all this abstract knowledge and distill it into fact.
00:19:34I understand you're a great physicist, Dr. Macklem.
00:19:37Great. It's a foolish word.
00:19:40The more we understand, the more we wish we understood.
00:19:43As the mystery clarifies, the more mysterious it becomes.
00:19:47That's the way I feel about this case.
00:19:49These murders are all pieces of the same puzzle, but what that puzzle is stumps me for the moment.
00:19:57Perhaps he saw something he shouldn't have seen in the murder that got rid of him.
00:20:02Yes, perhaps.
00:20:05Well, thank you for your time.
00:20:07Not at all.
00:20:08Good day, Doctor.
00:20:09Good day.
00:20:10Oh, Inspector.
00:20:11Yes?
00:20:12Would you mind giving me a lift to the club?
00:20:13I'd be delighted.
00:20:16If anyone wants me, I'm near the club, Yvonne.
00:20:27We can stop looking for organ grinders, Fred.
00:20:30Yes.
00:21:01It's about time, Maury. Get over to the bus stop.
00:21:04And when you get aboard, keep your eyes and ears open.
00:22:01Have you been packing that around?
00:22:03Sure.
00:22:04Where do you think you are, in L.A.?
00:22:11Any luck with the women?
00:22:12I think I hit pay dirt.
00:22:13One of them's Macklin's secretary.
00:22:15And she's single.
00:22:16Did you get her name?
00:22:17Yep, and a starting place for Jack.
00:22:19She's going dancing tonight at the Chalamar.
00:22:21Yeah.
00:22:22Point her out.
00:22:23Take a look, Jackie.
00:22:25You're going dancing.
00:22:28With that?
00:22:29Take her to a restaurant where they burn candles.
00:22:32Heavy dame looks beautiful in the dark.
00:22:34I sure hope she can dance.
00:22:53You can at that.
00:22:54Can what?
00:22:55Dance.
00:22:57You're a pretty good dancer yourself.
00:23:00You know what they say.
00:23:03It takes two to tango.
00:23:06I don't even know your name.
00:23:08Jack Allen.
00:23:09I'm Yvonne Tendley.
00:23:12Hi.
00:23:14Hi.
00:23:15Hi.
00:23:16Hi.
00:23:17Hi.
00:23:18Hi.
00:23:19Hi.
00:23:20Hi.
00:23:21Hi.
00:23:22Hi.
00:23:24You're French, aren't you?
00:23:26French-Canadian.
00:23:29No doubt what you are.
00:23:31American.
00:23:34You look lonely.
00:23:36Are you lonely?
00:23:38Yes.
00:23:40That's why I said yes when you asked me to dance.
00:23:43Would you say yes if I asked you again?
00:23:47If you won't think bad things about me.
00:23:50How could anybody think bad things about a girl who has eyes like yours?
00:23:58My sister doesn't like me to wear makeup.
00:24:01She's awfully strict.
00:24:03If she knew I let you pick me up tonight, she'd have a fit.
00:24:07She thinks I'm at the library.
00:24:09Which means you have to be home early.
00:24:129.30.
00:24:13Takes an hour to get home on the bus.
00:24:15How long by car?
00:24:17Well, half that.
00:24:19I've got a car.
00:24:32No, don't get out.
00:24:34Well, it's been swell.
00:24:36I was beginning to think this good neighbor policy you hear so much about was a lot of nonsense.
00:24:40How about tomorrow night?
00:24:41Same place?
00:24:43No.
00:24:44Some place where they burn candles.
00:24:47I'll be waiting just up the street.
00:24:52Night, neighbor.
00:25:08Hi, baby.
00:25:09Hi, boss. Jack.
00:25:10Oh, it's you.
00:25:11You're early.
00:25:12What's the matter? Didn't the girl like your brand of bait?
00:25:14She loved it.
00:25:15But her sister makes her check in by 10.30.
00:25:17Afraid the wolves will get her.
00:25:18I get it.
00:25:19I think the prettiest pair of legs in town is coming right through my door.
00:25:23Boss, am I glad to see you.
00:25:25Baby, what I've been missing.
00:25:31What's the matter?
00:25:33Aren't you glad to see me?
00:25:34I am not.
00:25:36Well, why did you come?
00:25:37Ask Nick.
00:25:40What have you been telling her?
00:25:41She wasn't going to come, boss.
00:25:43Why, get out of here.
00:25:45Go on.
00:25:54Honey, you didn't think I'd pull a trick like that, did you?
00:25:57You've done worse.
00:26:00But not to you.
00:26:03Let's start all over, beautiful.
00:26:14The old charm is still there.
00:26:17Yes, it is.
00:26:20But I'm not buying it.
00:26:23The Hartmans are waiting in the car for me.
00:26:26They say I'm to stay at their house.
00:26:29Oh.
00:26:31They brought me here so you could tell me what you wanted.
00:26:34Can't you guess?
00:26:37Come on, now.
00:26:38Why did you send for me?
00:26:40Come on, now.
00:26:41Why did you send for me?
00:26:42There's a couple of reasons.
00:26:44One...
00:26:45Skip one and go on to two.
00:26:47I've latched on to something awfully big.
00:26:49Something that'll keep you and me and me in caviar.
00:26:52Where do I come in?
00:26:53This needs a woman's touch.
00:26:54A guy that doesn't go for a dame.
00:26:56But I figured you could make him change his mind.
00:26:59I've lost my touch.
00:27:01You better get yourself a dame.
00:27:06Go ahead.
00:27:07But if you go through with it...
00:27:09I'll ask Nick what he told you and I'll tell you in spades.
00:27:13I don't want you to be making love to this guy.
00:27:16I don't want you to make love to anybody but me.
00:27:19Me?
00:27:20I'd rather make love to anybody.
00:27:22But anybody but you, even if he had two heads.
00:27:25He practically has two heads.
00:27:28He's a chess player.
00:27:29You wouldn't go for him.
00:27:32What makes you think you'll go for me?
00:27:35He will.
00:27:39What am I doing that's wrong?
00:27:41Everything.
00:27:44Good morning, Renée.
00:27:45Good morning, Mr. Macklin.
00:27:49Now, try again.
00:27:55I'll never learn.
00:27:57Two years ago, you told me you were going to marry me.
00:28:00Now you're going to marry me.
00:28:04I'll never learn.
00:28:06Two years ago, that's what he said.
00:28:08Look at him now.
00:28:13Watch him for a while.
00:28:14I haven't had a listen to him.
00:28:15Do you think he'd mind?
00:28:17Oh, Mr. Macklin, does an audience bother you?
00:28:20Not at all.
00:28:21Miss Geary, Mr. Macklin.
00:28:23How do you do?
00:28:24How do you do?
00:28:25Tomorrow, same time.
00:28:29I don't believe it.
00:28:31That you ever were a duffer.
00:28:33I was.
00:28:34The worst.
00:28:35Not as bad as I am.
00:28:37Show me how bad you are.
00:28:39You promised not to laugh.
00:28:41I promise.
00:28:42All right.
00:28:49No, hold it.
00:28:50No, your grip.
00:28:51It's wrong.
00:28:52Hold it.
00:28:54No, hold it.
00:28:55No, your grip.
00:28:56It's wrong.
00:28:59Here.
00:29:00Lock your little finger.
00:29:02Now, keep your arm stiff.
00:29:05Like this.
00:29:10Miss Geary, telephone.
00:29:12I'm coming.
00:29:15Oh, Mrs. Hartman, would you mind closing the door?
00:29:25Hello?
00:29:26Hiya, beautiful.
00:29:28Oh, it's you.
00:29:30What's on your mind?
00:29:32Who are you expecting to call?
00:29:33The chess player?
00:29:34You said goodnight to him.
00:29:36I did?
00:29:37Yeah, you did.
00:29:39He calls every night to say goodnight.
00:29:41Do you mind?
00:29:43No, I don't mind.
00:29:44What do you find to talk about?
00:29:46He's teaching me to play chess.
00:29:48Now, what are you teaching him?
00:29:51Listen, baby doll.
00:29:53You can teach him anything you like.
00:29:55Just so you don't forget that you're doing a job.
00:29:59That should be Jackie.
00:30:01I hope he's more efficient than your friend.
00:30:04Don't you worry about Joyce.
00:30:06I'm not worrying.
00:30:07You are worrying.
00:30:12Well, looks like you did all right.
00:30:14What up, babe?
00:30:15I hope you brought back something besides that lipstick.
00:30:17I didn't get around to asking any questions.
00:30:19What did you get around to?
00:30:20Joe doesn't know that a woman must be pursued quarter than one.
00:30:23That takes time.
00:30:25How much time does it take?
00:30:26She's cagey, boss.
00:30:28She just can't believe that a good-looking guy like me would go for her.
00:30:32Perhaps you should make the supreme sacrifice and ask her to marry you.
00:30:36That'll convince her.
00:30:37Suppose she'd take me up?
00:30:39So you marry her.
00:30:40You'll ditch her right after we pull this job.
00:30:51You're home early.
00:30:52I caught a ride.
00:30:53With whom?
00:30:54One of the boys at the plant.
00:30:56That wouldn't be him waiting down the street.
00:30:58Oh, no.
00:30:59He went home.
00:31:00I've got to go to the drugstore.
00:31:01I'll be right back.
00:31:20I'll take it with my rook.
00:31:45I'm worse at this than I was at playing golf.
00:31:49More brandy?
00:31:50Please.
00:31:53How long did you say you've lived here?
00:31:55Three years.
00:31:56And I'm the first woman to have crossed your threshold.
00:32:00Yes.
00:32:02Oh, I forgot the cleaning woman.
00:32:16Why, Miss Tendley.
00:32:17I'm sorry to bother you.
00:32:18I wouldn't have if I weren't terribly worried about Yvonne.
00:32:21Won't you come in?
00:32:23Miss Tendley, Miss Geary.
00:32:25How do you do?
00:32:26Won't you sit down?
00:32:27No, you've got company.
00:32:29What's this about Yvonne?
00:32:30Well, she came home early.
00:32:32Then she drove off in a car with a man I'd never seen before.
00:32:35She's never stayed out this late in her life.
00:32:37Oh, it isn't very late.
00:32:38It's only a little past 11.
00:32:40But she lied to me.
00:32:41She said she was only going to the drugstore.
00:32:43Then she climbed into this car and drove away.
00:32:46Did she get into the car willingly?
00:32:48Yes.
00:32:49Well, apparently she knew him.
00:32:51So I don't think there's anything to be upset about.
00:32:53She'll be along pretty soon.
00:32:55Then you don't think I should call the police?
00:32:57The police would be awfully busy if they spent their time hunting for every young lady that stayed out late.
00:33:03But this is different.
00:33:05My sister never goes out with men.
00:33:07Maybe she just found out what she's been missing.
00:33:12Come to think of it, Yvonne has been starry-eyed in the last few days.
00:33:16As a matter of fact, there's been an epidemic of starry-eyes in my office lately.
00:33:23I suppose I am being foolish.
00:33:25Forgive me for intruding.
00:33:26Oh, not at all.
00:33:28Good night.
00:33:29Good night, Miss.
00:33:33Who's Yvonne?
00:33:35My secretary.
00:33:37How nice.
00:33:38She's found a fellow.
00:33:41She's not exactly the romantic type.
00:33:43No one has ever given her a second look.
00:33:48Now, where were we?
00:33:51You, Professor, were about to sweep me off my feet.
00:33:56Yes, I was.
00:33:59Wasn't I?
00:34:10Jack?
00:34:12Huh?
00:34:13Tell me something.
00:34:15What do you want me to tell you?
00:34:18You know.
00:34:22I love you.
00:34:25There are lots of prettier girls in Montreal.
00:34:29Yet you picked me.
00:34:31Why?
00:34:34Because I love you.
00:34:36I want to marry you.
00:34:40You liar.
00:34:42I love you.
00:34:44I love you.
00:34:46I love you.
00:34:48I love you.
00:34:50I love you.
00:34:52You liar.
00:34:54Oh, you wonderful liar.
00:34:58When?
00:34:59Tell me when.
00:35:01Anytime.
00:35:02You name the day.
00:35:16What's the matter?
00:35:19You don't trust me, do you?
00:35:24Okay, that's the way you feel.
00:35:26Oh, I trust you.
00:35:27Really, I do, Jackie.
00:35:30It's just that I'm worried about my sister.
00:35:34If I go to the States with you, she won't like it.
00:35:37What about your boss?
00:35:39He won't like it either.
00:35:40Oh, he wouldn't miss me.
00:35:42All I do is write his letters and answer his calls.
00:35:45Any girl could do that.
00:35:47You never say much about him.
00:35:49What kind of guy he is, the work he does.
00:35:52He never discusses such things with me.
00:35:55That plant where you work.
00:35:58I can't figure how they test anything.
00:36:01If something went wrong, it might blow up the whole town.
00:36:03Oh, they don't test in the town.
00:36:05They go out.
00:36:06Where?
00:36:07Oh, way out.
00:36:09To a place near Pointe-aux-Champs.
00:36:17Jack, wait.
00:36:23You're not going to marry me, are you?
00:36:29You've just been stringing me along.
00:36:31Making love to me so I talk.
00:36:33So I tell you things I shouldn't.
00:36:37Is that the kind of guy you think I am?
00:36:40You're a nice kid.
00:36:42We've had lots of laughs.
00:36:44Remember that and you'll stay out of trouble.
00:36:47You're very clever.
00:36:50If I had known something, I might have told you.
00:36:54You got me all wrong, baby.
00:36:57I think Dr. Macklin should know about you.
00:37:00Listen to me.
00:37:01Let me go.
00:37:02Wait a minute.
00:37:03I think Dr. Macklin should know about you.
00:37:05Listen to me.
00:37:06Let me go.
00:37:07Wait a minute.
00:37:34Come in.
00:37:40Well, look who's here.
00:37:42How did you make out, Romeo?
00:37:44Place you want is between here and Ottawa.
00:37:46Just beyond a town called Pointe-aux-Champs.
00:37:49Good boy.
00:37:50What did you do with the girl?
00:37:52I left her where we spent the night.
00:37:54You can't run out on her yet.
00:37:56Who said I was running out on her?
00:37:58Well, get back to work.
00:38:00Married man needs dope.
00:38:02As soon as you pay me off, I'm picking her up and taking her to L.A.
00:38:11What's your hurry, Jackie?
00:38:14You didn't do anything wrong.
00:38:16No.
00:38:17But my job is done.
00:38:19I got you the dope you wanted.
00:38:21Suppose the dame isn't there when you get back.
00:38:24She'll be there, boss.
00:38:26Don't take that car across the border.
00:38:28It's a red job.
00:38:29I'm not exactly dumb.
00:38:32You did a good job.
00:38:34Just see that the dame doesn't get suspicious.
00:38:39She won't.
00:38:5638 caliber.
00:39:19She died with those in her back.
00:39:21How old was she?
00:39:22Oh, 21 or thereabouts.
00:39:24She wore a tan sweater, a dark skirt, brown coat, light hat.
00:39:28Carried a large handbag.
00:39:30Now, this is on her third finger right hand.
00:39:38Fred, bring Miss Tombley in.
00:39:42Three murders in a month.
00:39:44Constable beaten to death in an alley.
00:39:46Nog and grinder in a field.
00:39:48Now this girl.
00:39:49What has she got to do with the others?
00:39:51In every murder, there's an innocent bystander.
00:39:54But in this case, the bystander happens to be the same for all three.
00:39:59And his name is Macklin.
00:40:03Come in.
00:40:06How do you do, Miss Tombley?
00:40:10Won't you sit down, please?
00:40:16Would this be your sister's ring?
00:40:18Yes.
00:40:24Is she dead?
00:40:26I'm afraid so.
00:40:33If you prefer, we'll talk about it later.
00:40:36I saw the man who killed her.
00:40:40I want him caught and hanged.
00:40:44Our business is to catch him.
00:40:45Our business is to catch him.
00:40:46We leave the hanging to the courts.
00:40:50Could you describe him?
00:40:52Yes.
00:40:53Good.
00:40:54I'll have you tell it to one of our artists and then he can make a sketch.
00:40:58Now, about this car of his, what make was it?
00:41:02Ford, light blue, convertible.
00:41:06Get started on the car.
00:41:08I'll turn you over to one of our artists now.
00:41:15All right.
00:41:46Has the man from the FBI arrived yet?
00:41:49Yes, sir.
00:41:51Would you please go in?
00:41:58Well, thanks for dropping in, Frank.
00:42:00Always a pleasure, Inspector.
00:42:02What can I do for you?
00:42:04This.
00:42:05These are prints that we found on a car in which a girl was driven to her death.
00:42:09The man who left them there may be a citizen of the United States.
00:42:12What makes you think so?
00:42:13Well, the clerk at the agency where he rented the car thinks so.
00:42:17Didn't he show a driver's license?
00:42:19Yes.
00:42:20Canadian license.
00:42:21It was a fake.
00:42:22He gave the name of Jack Allen.
00:42:24Probably a fake, too.
00:42:26We have no record of his fingerprints, so will you check Washington for us?
00:42:30Glad to.
00:42:31I'll get it off right away.
00:42:32Thanks.
00:42:44Yes.
00:42:45This is the man I saw.
00:42:47But why?
00:42:48Why did he kill her?
00:42:50Well, we've asked the American authorities to find him and hand him over to us for questioning.
00:42:55I'll keep in touch with you.
00:42:57Drive Miss Tomlin home, please.
00:42:59Thank you for coming in.
00:43:01Thank you for coming in.
00:43:03Thank you for coming in.
00:43:05Thank you for coming in.
00:43:07Thank you for coming in.
00:43:09Thank you for coming in.
00:43:11Thank you for coming in.
00:43:14Thank you for coming in.
00:43:16A hoodlum comes from Los Angeles to Montreal, meets a girl on the sly and kills her.
00:43:21Doesn't make sense.
00:43:23Well, not to mention Constable Persig and a nameless organ grinder.
00:43:27Dead deaths didn't make any sense either.
00:43:29Oh, tell me, what do you know about this fellow?
00:43:31What's his M.O.?
00:43:32Some people prefer to work alone.
00:43:34He was a member of the Victor Mob.
00:43:36We broke up the mob, kicked Victor out of the country.
00:43:38Kicked him out where?
00:43:40Last we heard, he was in Lisbon.
00:43:41Is he still there?
00:43:42I'll check.
00:43:44I'd like I.D. cards on Joe Victor and all of his associates.
00:43:47I'll get on it right away.
00:43:48And please call me the minute that you get a line on Jack Allen.
00:44:01Which would you prefer?
00:44:03A change of clothes or a hot battered rump?
00:44:08You chose pleasure before comfort.
00:44:10That makes you a sybarite.
00:44:12What's a sybarite?
00:44:14A person whose life is dedicated to pleasure.
00:44:17Now, if I were bolder, I'd hold your hands.
00:44:20Oh, come on, Professor.
00:44:22Sweep me off my feet.
00:44:24Me and my empty threats.
00:44:26Don't tell me you're shy.
00:44:36Te quiero.
00:44:37Te quiero, that means I love you.
00:44:39I'm slightly out of practice,
00:44:41but I believe I could still kindle some of the old fire if I tried.
00:44:46But even if I were younger and more callow,
00:44:51there I go again with my empty threats.
00:44:55When I was very young and full of girlish laughter,
00:44:58I couldn't wait for the goodies to begin.
00:45:00You know, first boy, first love, first kiss.
00:45:03My inspector.
00:45:05How do you do?
00:45:06Miss Geary, Inspector LeDuc.
00:45:08Good afternoon, Miss Geary.
00:45:09Why don't you sit down and join us for a drink?
00:45:11Well, thank you.
00:45:13Haven't you wondered what's happened to your secretary?
00:45:16Has something happened to her?
00:45:18Did she come to work yesterday?
00:45:20No, as a matter of fact, she didn't.
00:45:23I thought she'd gone off with a handsome young fellow
00:45:25and I wasn't sure what to do with her.
00:45:27Well, I'm sorry.
00:45:28Well, as a matter of fact, she didn't.
00:45:30I thought she'd gone off with a handsome young fellow
00:45:32and I was wishing her well.
00:45:34Well, we've been trying to keep it a secret,
00:45:36but you've broken the papers just now,
00:45:38so I might just as well tell you.
00:45:40She's been murdered.
00:45:47Will you gentlemen excuse me, please?
00:45:59Nine, please.
00:46:01Suppose we play a new game of cards
00:46:03with a new set of baseboards.
00:46:06Ace, Joe Victor.
00:46:08King, Nick Johnos.
00:46:11Sorted knaves.
00:46:13The rest of Victor's filthy and marked deck.
00:46:17You should have a card in here for me.
00:46:19Several people died in the way I'm responsible.
00:46:23Are you working on any project just now?
00:46:25Well, then it's your head thereafter.
00:46:28Is there to be a test soon?
00:46:30It's possible.
00:46:32Well, the sooner the better.
00:46:34That will bring the mountain to the open
00:46:36and perhaps we can find out who Victor is working for.
00:46:38Oh, by the way,
00:46:40don't be surprised
00:46:42if you see a little man following you around.
00:46:45We have to protect that head of yours.
00:46:48Good afternoon, Mr. Baker.
00:46:50Good afternoon, Mr. Baker.
00:46:52Good afternoon, Mr. Baker.
00:47:10Have you seen this?
00:47:21So what?
00:47:23Amazing how calm you are.
00:47:25Doesn't it raise your pulse even slightly?
00:47:28I don't have any pulse.
00:47:30What a stroke of genius to kill that girl.
00:47:34It was your idea, wasn't it?
00:47:36It is.
00:47:38But you brought him here.
00:47:40It paid off, didn't it?
00:47:42What good is it going to do us
00:47:44when they find him and make him talk?
00:47:46Don't get excited.
00:47:48You feel we shouldn't get excited?
00:47:49Sure, when you get excited, you get ants.
00:47:52And when you get ants, you get rattled.
00:47:54I'll handle Jackie.
00:47:56You run along.
00:48:06Get on the phone.
00:48:08Not from here, you sap.
00:48:10From town.
00:48:12Find the busiest place you can.
00:48:20Get on the phone.
00:48:38Inspector.
00:48:40Here's a list of the telephone records
00:48:42that we subpoenaed.
00:48:44Oh, thanks.
00:48:46Stick your head into the hauling, Alpha Fred.
00:48:47Yes, sir.
00:48:51Oh, Fred.
00:48:54Fred, the inspector wants to see you.
00:48:56All right, thanks.
00:49:00Oh, sit down a minute, Fred.
00:49:04It's too bad our man was liquidated.
00:49:06Sometimes bad news can be changed into good news.
00:49:10Here's a list of telephone calls
00:49:12made to Los Angeles last night.
00:49:15This one looks promising.
00:49:17Made from a coin box
00:49:19in the nightclub on Montcalm Street
00:49:21to a haberdashery shop on Sunset Boulevard,
00:49:23station to station.
00:49:25He paid for the call, so he didn't have to give his name.
00:49:27The way our luck's running,
00:49:29he'll probably turn out to be a customer
00:49:31ordering a dozen shirts.
00:49:33Well, my guess is he was ordering
00:49:35a shroud for Jack Allen.
00:49:43Oh, Rosie.
00:49:47These gentlemen are from the police.
00:49:49They're interested in your yank.
00:49:51He's not my yank.
00:49:53Oh, come off it, Rosie.
00:49:55He's blown enough money on you the last few nights.
00:49:57Well, we're only interested in what happened last night.
00:49:59Do you know whether he made a phone call from the booth?
00:50:01He was in it for a while.
00:50:03Remember the time?
00:50:05Between 5 and 5.30.
00:50:07He was in the booth when I came to work.
00:50:12Your boyfriend, mademoiselle?
00:50:14Husband.
00:50:16Do you mind introducing me to him?
00:50:18Sure.
00:50:20Come on.
00:50:24There's a lot of him, isn't there?
00:50:46Take your dirty hands off her.
00:50:48Scram, chum.
00:51:16Why don't you ask that dame right away
00:51:18who started the ruckus?
00:51:20Why'd you let me crew my heels in jail all night?
00:51:22A bit of an oversight, sir.
00:51:24No hard feelings, I hope.
00:51:26Well, stop hoping and dig out my pictures
00:51:28and fingerprints you took.
00:51:30That's the least we can do.
00:51:32You know, sir, we all make mistakes once in a while.
00:51:34Would you like me to send you home in a police car?
00:51:36No, thanks.
00:51:38I'll take a cab.
00:51:40I'll take a cab.
00:51:42I'll take a cab.
00:51:43No, thanks.
00:51:44I'll take a cab.
00:51:52He's on his way.
00:51:58Oh, Inspector?
00:51:59Yeah?
00:52:00We've had a bit of luck.
00:52:02A farmer named Dubois sponsored a refugee named Steiner.
00:52:05Came into Canada about three weeks ago
00:52:07to work on his farm.
00:52:09From where?
00:52:10Lisbon.
00:52:11Could be, Victor.
00:52:13Send a man out to cover the farm.
00:52:15Right.
00:52:36Gray Sedan 733-055
00:52:39heading north on Champlain Street.
00:52:42Check.
00:52:53Nick Grannis just picked up Maury at his hotel.
00:52:56Crocker following.
00:52:58Now going south on Royal.
00:53:07Now crossing intersection of Montcalm.
00:53:10Montcalm.
00:53:21Adams car taking over from Crocker.
00:53:25Continuing south toward Victoria Bridge.
00:53:34Adams following over Victoria Bridge.
00:53:40Now heading out of town going south.
00:53:42Who's covering there?
00:53:43Carson.
00:53:44Good.
00:53:45Tell him to watch out for the Gray Sedan.
00:53:46Yes, sir.
00:54:10Gray Sedan just turned right into Old Mill Road.
00:54:23The Gray Sedan just stopped at Maple Leaf Farm on Old Mill Road.
00:54:26Until further orders we'll take our position on telephone pole.
00:55:09Is the phone out of order?
00:55:11It wasn't two hours ago. Why?
00:55:13There's a man working on the line near the gate.
00:55:15Wait a minute.
00:55:16There was a truck parked on the main highway.
00:55:18We passed it just before we turned in here.
00:55:20Don't touch it.
00:55:22Even if it rings, don't touch it.
00:55:24You two guys get back into town.
00:55:26Watch out for any tails.
00:55:28And call me tonight at this number.
00:55:30From a phone booth.
00:55:32Right.
00:55:34We'll be in touch.
00:55:36We'll be in touch.
00:55:37From a phone booth.
00:55:39Right.
00:55:56The Gray Coup is just leaving the farmhouse, Inspector.
00:55:59Can you have a look inside the farmhouse without being obvious about it?
00:56:02I want to know who's in there.
00:56:04I'll call you back, Inspector.
00:56:05Good.
00:56:08Good.
00:56:34Is the telephone working?
00:56:35It was this morning.
00:56:36I haven't been calling since.
00:56:38The squirrels have been chewing at the cables again.
00:56:40We'd better check it.
00:56:58It's dead, all right.
00:57:00Go ahead and fix it.
00:57:02I've got to go to the village for another load of barley.
00:57:06All right.
00:57:16Hey, the watch.
00:57:21There is something wrong with the line.
00:57:23Maybe, maybe not.
00:57:25But I'm fed up with farm life.
00:57:27Come on, let's go.
00:57:37Inspector, they've cleared out.
00:57:39What about Dubois?
00:57:41He just drove off in the panel truck.
00:57:43Well, put out an all-points call to be on the lookout for a truck.
00:57:47Get your hat and coat.
00:57:49We're going for a ride.
00:58:06Come on.
00:58:24Come in.
00:58:27Good morning, Inspector.
00:58:29That morning would be a better greeting.
00:58:32Victor and his men have their window.
00:58:34Oh, you can find them?
00:58:35Oh, we'll find them, all right.
00:58:37But I'm more interested in something else.
00:58:41Mind if I get personal?
00:58:43Not at all.
00:58:45I was thinking of Miss Geary.
00:58:47I met her at the golf club yesterday, if you remember.
00:58:49Yes.
00:58:51Charming.
00:58:53Yes, she is.
00:58:55What do you know about her?
00:58:57Very little.
00:58:59And the little I know, I like.
00:59:01Well, I can't say that I blame you.
00:59:03Women make it a pleasure to be a man.
00:59:06Have you seen her since yesterday?
00:59:09Oh, yes.
00:59:11She returned right after you left.
00:59:13Poor girl.
00:59:15She was terribly upset.
00:59:17When did you first meet her?
00:59:19About two weeks ago.
00:59:21I was playing golf, and she was trying to.
00:59:23And you're helping her with a game.
00:59:25She's an American, isn't she?
00:59:27Yes.
00:59:29She's here visiting some relatives.
00:59:30Eric Hartman, the rare book dealer, is her uncle.
00:59:35Why do you ask, Inspector?
00:59:37Well, in my profession, you ask questions.
00:59:42I'll leave you to your equations.
00:59:46Good day.
00:59:48Good day.
01:00:01Miss Gary, please.
01:00:03May I tell her who's calling?
01:00:05Dr. Macklin.
01:00:10Yes?
01:00:12Dr. Macklin's calling you.
01:00:14Tell him I'm out.
01:00:19Well, tell him I'm out.
01:00:21Yes, tell him I'm out.
01:00:23Tell him I'm out.
01:00:25Tell him I'm out.
01:00:27Tell him I'm out.
01:00:29Miss Gary's out.
01:00:31I'll tell her you called.
01:00:35What are you doing here?
01:00:37Moving in.
01:00:39It's too hot out on the farm for me.
01:00:41Was that Macklin?
01:00:43Yes.
01:00:45Where's Joyce?
01:00:53Your knuckles sore?
01:00:55No.
01:00:56I can't go out and bang them on the door.
01:00:59You going somewhere?
01:01:01You bet I am.
01:01:03I'm getting out of here before everything blows up in my face.
01:01:05Me too, as soon as I finish.
01:01:07You sure you don't want to stick around?
01:01:09After this is all over, I can show you a good time.
01:01:12Please.
01:01:14Don't do me any favors.
01:01:21It's Dr. Macklin again on the phone.
01:01:23He seems extremely disturbed.
01:01:24He knows I'm leaving.
01:01:26We already said goodbye.
01:01:28Tell him I've gone.
01:01:30She'll talk.
01:01:34Get smart, baby.
01:01:36Let him take you to the plane.
01:01:38Keep him out of the way.
01:01:40Then there's no chance of his getting hurt.
01:01:45What's the matter?
01:01:47You carrying a torch?
01:01:50I'm sure you don't care about your neck.
01:01:51But if you don't want anything to happen to his,
01:01:53you'll talk.
01:02:02Hello, Carl?
01:02:04Hello. Are you all right?
01:02:06Oh, yes.
01:02:08Yes, I'm fine.
01:02:10I was afraid you might be in some kind of trouble.
01:02:13I hope you weren't worried.
01:02:15I just went to pick up my flight ticket.
01:02:17Oh.
01:02:19When do you leave?
01:02:21At four.
01:02:23Now, if I were bold,
01:02:25I'd offer to take you to the airport.
01:02:28Why don't you be bold?
01:02:30Sweep me off my feet.
01:02:34Oh, and you'll have to hurry.
01:02:37We haven't much time.
01:02:39Goodbye.
01:02:41I'm already on my way.
01:02:43Goodbye, Carl.
01:02:45I'll be back after dinner,
01:02:47if someone wants me.
01:02:49Me and my shadow.
01:02:51I'm going to the airport and watch the planes go by,
01:02:53in case I lose you.
01:03:15Go ahead.
01:03:17Pretty up for him.
01:03:19I can't figure you out,
01:03:21going for this chess player.
01:03:23It just doesn't make sense.
01:03:25Joyce isn't quite ready yet,
01:03:27so you have time for a drink.
01:03:45How do you do, Miss Macklin?
01:03:47Mr. Hartman.
01:03:49Class sharing?
01:03:53It's not a very happy occasion.
01:03:55You don't like to lose Joyce.
01:03:57It's between us.
01:03:59I'm going to try to change your mind.
01:04:01Good luck.
01:04:03Proceed.
01:04:08Where's Carl?
01:04:10He just called.
01:04:12He said he wasn't coming.
01:04:14There was somebody else.
01:04:32Look who was going to
01:04:34sweep you off your feet.
01:04:37It's perfectly all right.
01:04:39I just put him to sleep for a while.
01:04:50Poor Carl.
01:04:52For all of his intelligence,
01:04:54he couldn't see through me.
01:04:57Well, I finished my part of the bargain.
01:04:59Now if you'll pay me off,
01:05:01I'll be on my way.
01:05:03It's funny.
01:05:04I figured he had something for you.
01:05:06Not for me.
01:05:08I guess I've been around too long.
01:05:10I liked him.
01:05:12I liked him a lot.
01:05:14But not as much as this.
01:05:16Thank you, Joe.
01:05:18And, uh, goodbye.
01:05:21Encore, encore.
01:05:24You gave a great performance, baby.
01:05:26You ought to be on stage.
01:05:29Before you go, give me that letter.
01:05:30I'll mail it for you, if you don't mind.
01:05:32I haven't the slightest idea
01:05:34what you're talking about.
01:05:36Give it to me.
01:05:56You might as well sit down, baby.
01:05:57Take off your shoes.
01:05:59Relax.
01:06:01You're going to stick around here for a while.
01:06:20Hello, Captain.
01:06:22When do we sail?
01:06:24Do not sail until 8 miles.
01:06:25They'll go aboard now.
01:06:27I'll be back later.
01:06:29Give me a hand.
01:06:40Who is she?
01:06:42His wife.
01:06:44You said nothing about the man's wife.
01:06:46When a man is ill, he needs his wife.
01:06:48Please take him aboard.
01:07:13Give me a cover on this jacket.
01:07:15I'm going.
01:07:17Macklin lost the Shadow.
01:07:19Now we've lost Macklin.
01:07:21And we've lost the Hartmans and the girl.
01:07:23Our only hope now is Victor and his boys.
01:07:25How's it going?
01:07:27It's going well.
01:07:29We'll keep working as long as the batteries last.
01:07:31It's good for about three hours.
01:07:56Are you sure they're picking up our signal, sir?
01:07:58I hope so.
01:08:04That's their beam.
01:08:06It's coming in great.
01:08:20We're going to have to wait.
01:08:22We're going to have to wait.
01:08:23We're going to have to wait.
01:08:41Shall I go through, sir?
01:08:43No.
01:08:44It may be a trap.
01:08:45Let them spread it.
01:08:48They're making their move.
01:08:50We've just left the town of Lamson.
01:08:51Follow, but don't close in.
01:09:00What is it, Constable?
01:09:02This.
01:09:05Get out.
01:09:07Both of you.
01:09:16Walk to the back of the truck.
01:09:22Open it up, Nick.
01:09:25From here on, you two guys ride inside of the truck.
01:09:28Come on, get going.
01:09:35Nick, you take the wheel.
01:09:37Maury, you ride with Nick.
01:09:39And ditch those clothes.
01:09:41I'll follow in the other car.
01:09:44Done with neatness and dispatch.
01:09:47That's American know-how for you.
01:09:49How long did they say those batteries on the beam would last?
01:09:52Oh, three hours.
01:09:55We have a half an hour to go.
01:10:04It's fading out.
01:10:07See if you can get a fix, Mac.
01:10:12Hello, car porting.
01:10:13Go ahead.
01:10:15Hello, car porting calling.
01:10:17What's the last fix on the truck?
01:10:1925 miles north, a mile west of Montreal,
01:10:22traveling northeast.
01:10:24Is the beam coming in?
01:10:26Very faint.
01:10:28Only two cars are picking it up now.
01:10:33A lot of beep out of it.
01:10:4012.30.
01:10:42Kill the engine?
01:10:45We're near a harbor.
01:10:48Could be Quebec, the amount of time we've been traveling,
01:10:51or Montreal, if we've been going around in circles.
01:10:54Well, wherever it is, this is it.
01:11:15It's coming aboard.
01:11:17That's good.
01:11:19Now maybe you won't be so jumpy.
01:11:22Pick up any tails?
01:11:24You know us better than that, Joe.
01:11:26What'd you do with the two guys?
01:11:28We left them in the back of the truck.
01:11:30Get them out of there.
01:11:32Bring them up here and lock them in a cabin.
01:11:42Easy, easy.
01:11:44Easy.
01:11:49All clear?
01:11:51Yes, sir.
01:12:06Come in to headquarters.
01:12:08Headquarters?
01:12:10What is it?
01:12:12Headquarters calling LeDuc.
01:12:14Headquarters calling LeDuc. Over.
01:12:16Come in, Headquarters. This is LeDuc speaking.
01:12:20Headquarters calling LeDuc. You are not coming in.
01:12:23I repeat, you are not coming in. Over.
01:12:26Come in, LeDuc. Please come in. Over.
01:12:29We're, I'm afraid, tied up to a mooring.
01:12:32This is Headquarters calling Inspector LeDuc.
01:12:35Headquarters calling Inspector LeDuc.
01:12:37You are not coming in.
01:12:39I repeat, you are not coming in. Over.
01:12:44This is LeDuc calling Headquarters.
01:12:48There's someone coming, sir.
01:12:50Try and stall him for a minute.
01:12:52Right.
01:12:54Calling Headquarters.
01:12:56Come in, Headquarters.
01:12:57This is LeDuc speaking.
01:12:59Come in, Headquarters.
01:13:04This is LeDuc calling Headquarters.
01:13:06Calling Headquarters.
01:13:08Over.
01:13:10LeDuc calling Headquarters.
01:13:13Come in, Headquarters.
01:13:15This is LeDuc speaking.
01:13:27Where's the other guy?
01:13:34Colley headquarters.
01:13:35In the shed.
01:13:36Colley headquarters.
01:13:37Billy Duke speaking.
01:13:38Can you hear me, Fred?
01:13:39All right, that's all.
01:13:40Oh!
01:13:41You've got the scientist and you've got his little gadget.
01:13:48All wrapped up in a nice little package.
01:13:50And now you'd like your money.
01:13:53Oh, Inspector.
01:13:55Greetings.
01:13:56I know these men, but who are you?
01:13:59Eric Hartman.
01:14:00D-Land rare books.
01:14:01He had a radio phone in the truck.
01:14:02He was trying to use it.
01:14:03Deep down in the hold, he couldn't get out much of a message.
01:14:08Where's the other guy?
01:14:10Captain, they just murdered one of my men aboard your ship.
01:14:14I'm Inspector LeDuc.
01:14:16Murdering police officers was not part of our bargain.
01:14:18Captain, why don't we go to your quarters where we can discuss this quietly?
01:14:22Wait a minute, Buster.
01:14:23You and I got some unfinished business.
01:14:25I'll be back, Mr. Fixter.
01:14:34What's biting you?
01:14:36You have some unfinished business to transact with a book dealer.
01:14:41I'm going to collect the payoff.
01:14:43Wind up the deal.
01:14:44And after you wind up the deal, we got plans.
01:14:47Do you mind if I make one guess?
01:14:50You're going to slip across the border.
01:14:52Do all the spots.
01:14:54Meet all of your friends.
01:14:56Have yourself a good time as long as the money holds out.
01:14:59Right?
01:15:01And after that, what?
01:15:03The deluge.
01:15:05Right?
01:15:08Takes money, Joe.
01:15:10Lots of money.
01:15:12I hope Mr. Hartman's paying you well.
01:15:16He is.
01:15:18You sure he'll pay?
01:15:22What do you think, Maury?
01:15:23Don't pay no attention to him, boss.
01:15:25He's trying to needle you.
01:15:26Well, it's easy enough to prove.
01:15:28Has he got the money?
01:15:44The money you are to receive.
01:15:46Perhaps if I were to double it, you'd feel better.
01:15:50Perhaps if I were to double it, you'd feel less disturbed.
01:15:58My hand's out.
01:15:59My palm is itching.
01:16:00$100,000.
01:16:02Less the advance our friend in Lisbon gave you.
01:16:05Less nothing.
01:16:06Plus expenses.
01:16:07Come on, pay off.
01:16:20$100,000.
01:16:22Correct?
01:16:24Correct.
01:16:35There's nothing like a voice to clear the mind.
01:16:38The open sea, the wind.
01:16:41The air.
01:16:43The air.
01:16:45The air.
01:16:47The wind.
01:16:49Oh, I was just telling Nick and Maury the joys of a sea voyage.
01:16:53Only this is one journey I would prefer not to take.
01:16:56See these tears?
01:16:57I'm crying.
01:16:58Come on, boys, we're getting off.
01:17:00Bon voyage, Inspector.
01:17:09Tell the captain to hold the ship.
01:17:10We're getting off.
01:17:11Don't get excited, Mr. Victor.
01:17:13As you said yourself, if you get excited, you get ants.
01:17:16If you get ants, you get rattled.
01:17:18You'll be taken off in good time.
01:17:20You'll be put off all right, but you won't be having a good time.
01:17:26There's no way to get off the boat.
01:17:29We'll go to the side.
01:17:31You'll be cut to pieces by the propeller.
01:17:34You tell the captain I will.
01:17:41Tell me, Mr. Hartman.
01:17:43You employed, Victor.
01:17:45Yes, sir.
01:17:47Mind my asking you who employs you?
01:17:50You work for someone.
01:17:51You're getting paid.
01:17:53I'm a man of principle.
01:17:55I work without pay.
01:17:57Of course, how stupid of me.
01:18:00Tell me, what do you intend to do with the device on the truck?
01:18:04Are you going to use it to frighten the world?
01:18:07To bring it to its knees?
01:18:09The instant I saw you, Inspector, I knew the device was a fraud.
01:18:14No matter.
01:18:15We have the real treasure.
01:18:17Dr. Macklin?
01:18:20You have him on board this ship?
01:18:25You realize, of course, Dr. Macklin will never consent to work for you.
01:18:29One thing you cannot enslave is the human mind.
01:18:32With us, Dr. Macklin is going to work for peace.
01:18:35Peace?
01:18:36Hmm.
01:18:42You're the captain of the ship.
01:18:44All you have to do is give the word.
01:18:46I'll pay you well.
01:18:48Ten thousand.
01:18:50Twenty thousand.
01:18:51I'm sorry.
01:19:02Let us off.
01:19:07All right, Mr. Victor.
01:19:16Take this man to the saloon.
01:19:19Take this man to the saloon.
01:19:36You're in trouble, Jill.
01:19:38Serious trouble.
01:19:42Didn't it occur to you to ask what you were doing?
01:19:44Well, Macklin, why?
01:19:45Why Hartman wanted him?
01:19:46For what reason?
01:19:47Didn't you wonder?
01:19:50Who cares?
01:19:51I was doing a job.
01:19:52Yes, what kind of a job?
01:19:54You were to kidnap a man.
01:19:56What kind of a man?
01:19:58Of all men, why is he so important?
01:20:01Didn't you ask yourself that question?
01:20:05Men like Hartman are masters of deception.
01:20:10They tell lies.
01:20:11They corrupt people's minds.
01:20:14That's no skin off of my nose.
01:20:16Then it's more than the skin of your nose that's in danger, Joe.
01:20:19It's you, all of you.
01:20:20All of us, all of humanity.
01:20:22Oh, shut up for a while, will you?
01:20:24I'm trying to think.
01:20:27There's a way to save Macklin.
01:20:29All I want to save is my own neck.
01:20:31Well, now you're talking.
01:20:33If we can get Macklin off this ship,
01:20:35you can save your neck.
01:20:38I'll see to it that you get a fair trial.
01:20:41Listen to him.
01:20:43If I get a fair trial, I'm dead.
01:20:45What I need is an unfair trial.
01:20:48Joe, you've pulled all kinds of deals during your lifetime.
01:20:51Gambling, a numbers racket,
01:20:53smuggling, an occasional rub-out.
01:20:56But all these are petty crimes to the one you committed
01:20:58when you handed Macklin over to this mob.
01:21:04Why don't you do something decent for a change?
01:21:10Like what?
01:21:13There's a radio on the back of the truck.
01:21:15If we can get it working, I can get a message to the river patrol.
01:21:20Then the captain will have to stop the ship.
01:21:22If he doesn't, he'll have the whole Canadian Navy on his neck.
01:21:29All right, Inspector.
01:21:31Let's give it a try.
01:21:42All right.
01:22:04Nick.
01:22:05The deck lamp. Put it on. Shine it in their eyes.
01:22:08Take it, Nick.
01:22:12Aah!
01:22:32This is his party.
01:22:33The minute the boat stops, we'll go over to the side.
01:22:42All right.
01:23:00What were you going to do, Inspector?
01:23:02Connect the battery to the homing device?
01:23:05It's no use.
01:23:07I took the precaution of smashing your equipment.
01:23:13All right, men. Cover their heads.
01:23:20Don't worry about the distress signal.
01:23:22Keep them low, Captain.
01:23:24That will bring the river patrol.
01:23:26Signal dead slow.
01:23:27Yes, sir.
01:23:31That was very stupid.
01:23:33I'm sorry, Captain.
01:23:35I'm sorry, Captain.
01:23:37I'm sorry, Captain.
01:23:38I'm sorry, Captain.
01:23:39I'm sorry, Captain.
01:23:40That was very stupid.
01:23:42You just signed Macklin's death warrant.
01:23:45Let's go before that patrol gets here.
01:23:47If we cannot have him, no one will.
01:23:51Look out.
01:24:02He's going to kill that guy.
01:24:03You and your brothers keep it.
01:24:05Here.
01:24:06You're going to need some dough.
01:24:07Where are you going?
01:24:10He said something.
01:24:11About being a hero?
01:24:12Don't be a sap, Joe.
01:24:14So long, Murray.
01:24:21Dr. Macklin, please come with me.
01:24:23Where are you taking him?
01:24:25Carl, don't go.
01:24:33There are some disadvantages to being a man of intellect.
01:24:39After you.
01:25:09Hi, Inspector.
01:25:10How are you?
01:25:11I'm fine.
01:25:12I'm fine.
01:25:13I'm fine.
01:25:14I'm fine.
01:25:15I'm fine.
01:25:16I'm fine.
01:25:17I'm fine.
01:25:18I'm fine.
01:25:19I'm fine.
01:25:20I'm fine.
01:25:21I'm fine.
01:25:22I'm fine.
01:25:23I'm fine.
01:25:24I'm fine.
01:25:25I'm fine.
01:25:26I'm fine.
01:25:27I'm fine.
01:25:28I'm fine.
01:25:29I'm fine.
01:25:30I'm fine.
01:25:31I'm fine.
01:25:32I'm fine.
01:25:33I'm fine.
01:25:34I'm fine.
01:25:35I'm fine.
01:25:36I'm fine.
01:25:37I'm fine.
01:25:38Hi, Inspector.
01:25:41The doll, Joyce.
01:25:44She wrote you a letter.
01:25:49Looks like I'm not going to make it back to the States.
01:25:53Do me a favor.
01:25:54Yes, General.
01:25:57Can you dump my ashes across the board?
01:26:00Sure.
01:26:02Hank.
01:26:09He died a hero.
01:26:11Maybe just as well.
01:26:13Had he lived, he might not have known how to grace the part.
