- Same old daily bunkeroo.

Mr. Powers says he wants to see that
foreign stuff as soon as it comes in.

for a few minutes.

7
00:02:29,341 --> 00:02:32,720
I could get more news out of Europe
looking in a crystal ball.
8
00:02:32,844 --> 00:02:35,814
That, uh, Stebbins cable
has a morsel in it.
9
00:02:35,973 --> 00:02:39,022
Stebbins makes me sick.
They all make me sick.
10
00:02:39,142 --> 00:02:42,988
Europe about to blow up, and all
I can get out of my foreign staff...
11
00:02:43,105 --> 00:02:45,028
is a daily guessing game.
12
00:02:45,148 --> 00:02:49,073
- I want some facts, Mr. Bradley!
- For instance?
13
00:02:49,194 --> 00:02:51,196
Any kind of facts.
14
00:02:51,321 --> 00:02:54,746
There must be something going on
in Europe beside a nervous breakdown.
15

Mr. Powers?

on economics or something...
17

The Twilight of Feudalism.
18
00:03:04,459 --> 00:03:06,427
Yes. It was very
well received.
19
00:03:06,545 --> 00:03:08,718
Not by me. I don't want
any more economists...
20
00:03:08,839 --> 00:03:11,638

over our cables.
21
00:03:11,758 --> 00:03:14,477
I want a reporter, somebody
who doesn't know the difference...
22
00:03:14,595 --> 00:03:16,268
between an "ism" and a kangaroo.
23
00:03:16,388 --> 00:03:19,642

that's what the Globe needs.
24

That's what Europe needs.
25
00:03:21,476 --> 00:03:24,605

on that bedeviled continent.
26
00:03:24,730 --> 00:03:26,983

might pass for an idea.
28

Who was that fellow that ran down
the payroll robbery last week?
29
00:03:35,198 --> 00:03:36,745
Oh, you mean Johnny Jones.
30
00:03:36,867 --> 00:03:39,495
He beat up a policeman,
didn't he, in the line of duty?
31
00:03:39,620 --> 00:03:42,123
Yes, there's talk at the
City desk of firing him.
32
00:03:42,247 --> 00:03:45,046
Hmm.
Beat up a policeman, eh?
33
00:03:46,126 --> 00:03:48,299
Sounds ideal for Europe.
34

right away.

- Okay.
40

41
00:04:12,819 --> 00:04:16,244
Where's Mr. Jones?
I told you to send him right up here!
42
00:04:21,870 --> 00:04:23,747
- Are you Mr. Jones?
- Yes.
43
00:04:23,914 --> 00:04:26,292

a personal question?

- No.
- Are you married?

00:04:31,338 --> 00:04:33,432
- No luck.
- Single, eh?
47
00:04:34,549 --> 00:04:36,426
- Ever been in Europe?
- No.
48

What's your opinion of the present
European crisis, Mr. Jones?
49
00:04:41,473 --> 00:04:43,225

Oh, that.
52
00:04:48,565 --> 00:04:51,968
To tell you the truth, Mr. Powers,
I haven't given it much thought.
53
00:04:52,109 --> 00:04:54,737
You don't keep up with our
foreign news, do you?
54
00:04:54,861 --> 00:04:58,240
Mr. Powers, if you're gonna fire me,
you can scrap the intelligence test.
55
00:04:58,365 --> 00:05:02,120
It's okay with me. I can get a job
on any other newspaper in town.

- So long.
- Wait a minute.
57

- Nobody fired you.
- Huh?

the biggest story in the world today?
59

- Europe.

but I could do some reading up.

is a fresh, unused mind.

- No. Reporter.

I don't want correspondence.
I want news.

00:05:32,107 --> 00:05:34,610

some news in Europe?

- This is what I mean.

had nothing to say.

00:06:00,552 --> 00:06:02,350
it may mean peace in Europe.
79
00:06:02,512 --> 00:06:05,607
If we knew what he was thinking,
we'd know where Europe stands.

- I'm on the wagon.

I went to the doctor today
about these jitters...
172
00:10:51,634 --> 00:10:55,639
and he said it was the wagon
for a month or a new set of organs.
173
00:10:55,764 --> 00:10:57,687
I can't afford new organs.
174

If I'd known you were on the wagon,
I could've got along without this...

entirely on the level?

- Very much so.
- He seems like a very nice guy.

He is, I assure you.
336
00:19:53,634 --> 00:19:56,308
Well, what is it that
makes him, or you, think...
337
00:19:56,429 --> 00:19:59,353
that an organization like this,
made up of well-meaning amateurs...
338
00:19:59,515 --> 00:20:01,813
buck up against those tough
military boys of Europe?

Nobody listens to the speeches
at the press table. We could talk.
346

our guest of honor today.

to clear up a few misapprehensions...
386
00:22:35,337 --> 00:22:38,432
that seem to have crept into the
public discussion of this movement...
387

of the epithets applied to us...

into the matter as they might.

and tell me just why...

a well-meaning amateur
is any less reliable...

00:23:04,074 --> 00:23:06,577

at a moment like this...

I'm in trouble.
672

get out. For the last time, please go.

Okay, but I want you to know exactly
what's going to happen when I do go.
674
00:49:22,068 --> 00:49:26,448
I'll go back to my room and try to shake
those fellows off, but I won't succeed.
675
00:49:26,572 --> 00:49:30,076
They'll stick to me like a couple
of tattoo marks until they get me.
676
00:49:30,201 --> 00:49:33,580
They'll stop at nothing. I seem to
know too much, and they're right.
677
00:49:33,704 --> 00:49:36,378
I don't know the ins and outs
of your crackpot movement...
678
00:49:36,499 --> 00:49:39,548
and what's wrong with Europe,
but I do know a story...

I get it or it gets me.

those fellows all right, with luck.
687

We should get some help.

to bring up clean sheets.

I've set mine on fire.
710
00:51:15,222 --> 00:51:19,318

boots to come up and get my shoes.

but I'm simply starved.

00:57:15,582 --> 00:57:18,051
So you were in Amsterdam
yesterday, Mr. Haverstock?
789
00:57:18,168 --> 00:57:20,921
Poor Van Meer. I count his death
a heavy personal loss.
790
00:57:21,088 --> 00:57:22,965
Of all people, why Van Meer?
791
00:57:23,090 --> 00:57:26,390
You can't ask "why" of an assassin.
There's no logic in killing.
792
00:57:26,510 --> 00:57:29,559
We can't spare such men
in a world like ours.
793
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,308
Did you by any chance meet him,
Mr. Haverstock?
794
00:57:32,432 --> 00:57:34,560
Not formally,
but I saw him die.
795
00:57:35,853 --> 00:57:37,230

796
00:57:37,354 --> 00:57:41,234
As a matter of fact, I chased the man
that shot him and almost caught him.
797
00:57:41,358 --> 00:57:44,578
Mr. Haverstock is a newspaperman,
Monsieur Krug.
798
00:57:44,695 --> 00:57:47,014
That would be quite a
coup, bringing in your

We may as well clear it up
in the study. You'll excuse us?
803
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,548
Father, could I speak to you?
It's terribly important.

00:58:04,673 --> 00:58:08,348
This won't take a moment. Meanwhile, see

that man doing here?

It's Monsieur Krug.
808
00:58:13,682 --> 00:58:15,935
- Van Meer isn't dead.
- But I just read...
809
00:58:16,059 --> 00:58:18,107
That was his double.
Van Meer was kidnapped.
810
00:58:18,228 --> 00:58:20,276
I talked to him in a
mill outside Amsterdam.
811
00:58:20,302 --> 00:58:21,803
What has Krug to do with it?
812
00:58:21,899 --> 00:58:24,069
Remember my description
of the man in the mill?
813
00:58:24,095 --> 00:58:25,269
You mean the sweater?
814
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,988
Of course! But that's impossible.
We've known Monsieur Krug...
815
00:58:28,155 --> 00:58:31,101
Mr. Krug brought Van Meer here by
plane last night. He's in England.
816
00:58:31,127 --> 00:58:31,980
They're hiding him.
817
00:58:32,075 --> 00:58:33,132

818
00:58:33,158 --> 00:58:35,695
I was as close to Krug
as I am to you now.
819
00:58:35,829 --> 00:58:38,274
It'd be terrible if we made a mistake.

unless perhaps...
829

may have caused complications.

00:59:08,445 --> 00:59:11,119
It would've been ideal
if she'd been in our confidence.
831
00:59:11,239 --> 00:59:13,116
Leave my daughter out of it.
832
00:59:13,241 --> 00:59:15,915
- I beg your pardon.
- Most unfortunate, his coming here.
833
00:59:16,036 --> 00:59:19,631
I've never had to cope with this sort
of thing before, thanks to you.
834
00:59:19,748 --> 00:59:22,046
Someone has to take care
of the sordid details.
835
00:59:22,167 --> 00:59:26,673
But this is close to home. In fact, it is
my home. After all, I'm only a politician.
836
00:59:26,797 --> 00:59:28,595
In a sense.
837
00:59:28,715 --> 00:59:32,060
And politicians aren't usually
called upon to, uh...

No, sir.

- Rowley?
843
00:59:50,696 --> 00:59:54,371
Yes, the little man who used to work
at your father's stables in Austria.
844
00:59:54,491 --> 00:59:58,621
Yes, I recall he was present
when a mutual friend of ours, um...
845
00:59:58,745 --> 01:00:01,498
accidentally fell off
the high bridge at Bern.
846
01:00:01,623 --> 01:00:03,250
He's retired now.
847
01:00:03,375 --> 01:00:05,628
Lives somewhere in
Clapham here in London.
848
01:00:05,752 --> 01:00:08,426
If Mr. Haverstock could be
induced to hire him...
849
01:00:08,547 --> 01:00:11,141
in the capacity
of a private detective...
850
01:00:11,258 --> 01:00:13,477
- What for?
- Well...
851
01:00:13,593 --> 01:00:17,348
you should warn him that it is
very dangerous to go about London...
852
01:00:17,472 --> 01:00:19,566
with the knowledge
that he has.
853
01:00:19,683 --> 01:00:22,607

- Yes, I see. Yes.
854
01:00:23,603 --> 01:00:26,106
You use the English language
with great delicacy, Krug.
855
01:00:26,231 --> 01:00:29,235
Thank you, sir. I shall look
Mr. Rowley up at once...
856
01:00:29,359 --> 01:00:30,952
and give him his instructions.
857
01:00:31,069 --> 01:00:33,788
But you mustn't.
It would be too dangerous.
858
01:00:35,782 --> 01:00:37,618
What do we do?
Call Scotland Yard?
859
01:00:37,644 --> 01:00:40,108
I thought it best to
send Krug on his way.
860
01:00:40,203 --> 01:00:42,297
You let him get away?
Well, listen...
861
01:00:42,414 --> 01:00:46,294
Don't you see how important it is
not to rouse Krug's suspicions?
862
01:00:46,460 --> 01:00:49,464
- Van Meer will be killed immediately.
- Dead or alive, it's a story.
863
01:00:49,588 --> 01:00:51,261
Johnny, Father's right.
864
01:00:51,381 --> 01:00:54,885
- Okay, I'll cable them what I've got.
- I wouldn't if I were you.
865
01:00:55,010 --> 01:00:57,889
Van Meer's life may depend
upon our keeping this quiet.
866

Keep it quiet?

my own eyes, and I muzzle myself?

I'm sorry,
but this is a story with facts...
869
01:01:06,897 --> 01:01:10,652
the kind I was sent here to get,
the kind America's waiting for.
870
01:01:10,776 --> 01:01:13,575
It'll be bigger if you can wait
just a few hours...
871
01:01:13,695 --> 01:01:17,495
until we can find Van Meer and discover
what's behind this whole curious business.
872
01:01:17,616 --> 01:01:20,369
- I know what's behind it.
- I don't mean who's behind it.
873
01:01:20,494 --> 01:01:22,496
I mean the why of it.
874
01:01:22,621 --> 01:01:26,342
Dear, will you get me
all my correspondence with Krug?
875
01:01:26,458 --> 01:01:28,176
Please, Johnny,
do what Father says.
876
01:01:28,335 --> 01:01:30,838
It'll be best for you
and poor Mr. Van Meer.

01:01:31,004 --> 01:01:33,177
Okay. I'll wait.
878
01:01:36,551 --> 01:01:37,537
I'm worried about you.
879
01:01:37,563 --> 01:01:40,251
I'm a little worried about myself.
I feel weak-minded.
880
01:01:40,347 --> 01:01:43,851
You're doing the right thing, but I don't
like you dashing about without protection.

you need protection.

even a rabbit's foot.

an equally mad
indifference to life...

I'm not suggesting you hide anywhere.
Just get somebody to watch out for you.

A nurse? Johnny Jones goes
to Europe and hires a nurse.

That's gonna look great
on the expense account.

01:08:40,892 --> 01:08:42,485
Not yet, boys.
993
01:08:45,230 --> 01:08:49,861
Let's get out of here. I have a luncheon
date and plenty to do before it.
994
01:08:49,984 --> 01:08:53,454
I've got it in mind, sir.
Don't you worry. Really, now, look.
995
01:08:53,571 --> 01:08:56,120
Isn't it worthwhile
coming up here to see it, sir?
996
01:08:56,241 --> 01:08:58,289
There's the houses
of Parliament over there.
997
01:08:58,409 --> 01:09:01,709
And there's St. James's Park.
That green patch. Yeah.
998
01:09:01,829 --> 01:09:03,581
Come along, boys.
999
01:09:09,963 --> 01:09:13,684
You must excuse me getting so scared
when you leaned over just now, sir.
1000
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:16,644
I was once with a man
on a bridge in Switzerland.
1001
01:09:16,803 --> 01:09:18,897
He had a very nasty fall.
1002
01:09:20,139 --> 01:09:23,063
Killed him. Stone dead.
1003
01:09:24,644 --> 01:09:26,863
Always made me
a bit nervous since.

Don't go down just yet, sir.
I'd like you to see St. Paul's.
1006
01:09:46,332 --> 01:09:48,710
There it is,
just coming out of the mist.
1007
01:09:48,835 --> 01:09:52,055
Oh, and look. There's the 'orse guards
approaching Buckingham Palace.
1008
01:09:52,171 --> 01:09:55,675
- See 'em? Down there.
- It makes the backs of me legs go funny.

01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:58,394

Why didn't you say so before?

01:10:00,430 --> 01:10:02,353
Miss,
I know just how you feel.
1012
01:10:02,515 --> 01:10:04,776
Them as has no head for
heights can't help it.
1013
01:10:04,802 --> 01:10:06,340
Nobody ought not
to blame them.
1014
01:10:06,436 --> 01:10:09,690
- What's it got to do with you?
- All right, keep your head on.
1015
01:10:09,856 --> 01:10:12,279
- I was only sympathizing.
- I'm going down anyway.
1016
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,448
- Wait for the lift.
- No.
1017
01:10:20,199 --> 01:10:22,497
No stairs for me.
I'm gonna take the elevator.
1018
01:10:22,619 --> 01:10:24,246
Wait a minute, sir.
1019

You ain't seen
the 'orse guards yet.
1020
01:10:28,333 --> 01:10:30,586
You must see
the 'orse guards, sir.
1021
01:10:31,878 --> 01:10:33,972
Where?
I don't see anything.
1022
01:10:34,088 --> 01:10:36,307
Why, there they are, sir.

01:10:36,424 --> 01:10:38,392

Well, there but for
the grace of God.

01:11:20,593 --> 01:11:24,590
I still don't know what instinct made
me step aside when he came at me.

You need a drink.
1032
01:11:25,765 --> 01:11:28,439
I heard the lift coming up,
and I turned.
1033
01:11:28,601 --> 01:11:31,605
I saw that look in his eye
as he came toward me.
1034
01:11:31,771 --> 01:11:34,695
In that split second, the whole thing
flashed through my mind.
1035
01:11:34,816 --> 01:11:37,114
All I could think of was Fisher.
1036
01:11:37,235 --> 01:11:39,784
"Fisher planned this."
1037
01:11:39,904 --> 01:11:42,657
Then I guess I just stepped aside,
and over he went.
1038
01:11:42,782 --> 01:11:45,126
Over he went, all right.
Did you want this?
1039
01:11:45,243 --> 01:11:46,711
No, thanks.

I thought you were one of those

No. I can understand you not wanting
to drag Miss Fisher into it.

01:12:07,974 --> 01:12:10,318
On the other hand,
she's probably in it already.

- The moll of the gang.
- Why, you dirty...

On second thought, I'm sure not.
I'm sure she's a fine girl...

Mr. Van Meer, come in.

Good morning, Stebbins.
How are you, Haverstock?
1055
01:12:30,663 --> 01:12:33,337
Congratulations on your little
set-to with Rowley.
1056

What do you know
about Rowley?
1057
01:12:37,628 --> 01:12:40,256
Very little ffolliott doesn't hear.
He probably even knows about Fisher.
1058
01:12:40,381 --> 01:12:42,179
I was onto Fisher
a year ago...
1059
01:12:42,341 --> 01:12:44,343
but that fellow
with the high-neck sweater...
1060
01:12:44,469 --> 01:12:46,847
- Krug... he's new to me...
- You're onto him too?
1061
01:12:47,013 --> 01:12:49,857
- Followed him to London.
- I thought you were cold on this story.
1062
01:12:49,974 --> 01:12:52,523
On the contrary.
I've been doing a bit of noticing.
1063
01:12:52,643 --> 01:12:55,237
- Remember that tramp asleep in the mill?
- Yeah.
1064
01:12:55,354 --> 01:12:58,528
- He wasn't a tramp at all.
- Van Meer, I suppose.
1065
01:12:58,649 --> 01:13:02,324
Not quite, but I noticed him
do a strange thing for a tramp.
1066
01:13:02,445 --> 01:13:05,289
He dirtied his hands
with some of that nasty Dutch soil.
1067
01:13:05,406 --> 01:13:08,250
I can't follow the workings
of these masterminds.

You'd already disappeared,
so I followed Krug...

but ended up
at the same old mousetrap.

of the Peace Party, Herr Fisher.

Hello, Eddie?
This is Plunger Stebbins.

I want to place a bet
on Flibbertigibbet in the first...

The race is over? What do you know
about that? Okay, I'll call you later.
1078

Any objection to working
the rest of this thing together?
1079
01:13:39,232 --> 01:13:41,735
Catch Fisher, find Van Meer,
that sort of thing?
1080
01:13:41,859 --> 01:13:45,113
All right, but I'd like to know
why they kidnapped Van Meer.
1081
01:13:45,238 --> 01:13:47,741
He was one of the signatories
to a certain treaty.
1082
01:13:47,907 --> 01:13:49,955
The most important clause
was never written down...
1083
01:13:50,076 --> 01:13:52,249
just memorized
by the two people who signed.
1084
01:13:52,370 --> 01:13:54,088
They're gonna
beat it out of him?
1085
01:13:54,247 --> 01:13:57,592
They're going to try. It'd be
a good idea if we put a stop to them.
1086
01:13:57,750 --> 01:14:00,253
It contains information
that would be valuable to the enemy...
1087
01:14:00,419 --> 01:14:02,888
in the war that breaks out tomorrow,
weather permitting.
1088
01:14:03,005 --> 01:14:05,383
What? Why didn't someone
let me in on this?
1089
01:14:05,508 --> 01:14:08,432
- Stebbins, we've got to get busy.
- Plenty of time. Lunch first.
1090
01:14:08,553 --> 01:14:10,851
You mind waiting?
You might be of some help.
1091
01:14:10,972 --> 01:14:13,566
I thought up a little plan
for forcing Fisher's hand.
1092
01:14:13,683 --> 01:14:15,310
Let's have it.
1093
01:14:15,434 --> 01:14:19,029
I think the neatest thing would be
to kidnap Fisher's daughter.
1094
01:14:20,106 --> 01:14:20,841
Oh, yeah?
1095
01:14:20,867 --> 01:14:23,806
One of Fisher's few genuine traits
is his affection for Miss Fisher.
1096
01:14:23,943 --> 01:14:26,116
Easy. You're speaking
to the man who loves her.
1097
01:14:26,237 --> 01:14:28,786
All the better. Give you
a chance to get chummy...
1098
01:14:28,906 --> 01:14:32,501
and keep her out of this mess
while we batter away at papa.
1099
01:14:32,618 --> 01:14:35,167
This is my scheme:
I walk in, let Fisher know...
1100
01:14:35,288 --> 01:14:37,791
his daughter's in the hands
of someone who means business...
1101
01:14:37,957 --> 01:14:41,461
just as he means business when he
kidnaps people. He'll see things our way.
1102
01:14:41,586 --> 01:14:43,666
- Nothing doing.
- I thought you were a newspaperman.
1103
01:14:43,713 --> 01:14:46,216
That doesn't include kidnapping
your fiancee where I come from.
1104
01:14:46,340 --> 01:14:49,389
- It would if your country were at stake.
- This isn't my country.
1105
01:14:49,510 --> 01:14:52,480
It's your story. Don't be gloomy.
She doesn't have to know.
1106
01:14:52,597 --> 01:14:55,817
- Just keep her amused.
- Why not grab Fisher and have a showdown?
1107
01:14:55,933 --> 01:14:59,654
No good. We've got nothing
on Fisher. He'd slip out of it anyway.
1108
01:14:59,770 --> 01:15:02,444
All we'd do would be
to kill Van Meer.
1109
01:15:02,565 --> 01:15:04,442
- Mm.

Scott, he can't stay here.
Tell him how desperate these men are.
1118
01:15:29,133 --> 01:15:31,227
He shouldn't stay another minute.
Take him somewhere.
1119
01:15:31,344 --> 01:15:32,063
I won't go.
1120
01:15:32,089 --> 01:15:34,964
Couldn't you think up some aunt
in the country or something?
1121
01:15:35,056 --> 01:15:37,900
There's my Aunt Margaret at Harpenden.
Let me take you there.

01:15:38,017 --> 01:15:40,019
- How about it?
- Stay out of this.

01:15:40,186 --> 01:15:42,314
It's the only
sensible thing to do.

I'm wondering whether this idea
of your aunt is so good.

Maybe it'd be better further out...
say, Cambridge.

There's no place as
obscure as Harpenden.
1135

It isn't so
much the place...
1136
01:16:13,803 --> 01:16:16,147
as the fact Krug
might connect you with it.

You're right.
Make it Cambridge.

Thank you, Scott.
Please, Johnny?

That was a break, her suggesting
they go to the country.

As a matter of fact, old boy,
I suggested it to her...

- What's the matter?
- Nothing.

01:16:58,014 --> 01:17:01,894
You might at least talk to me.
It's unfair to sit there and pout...
1146
01:17:02,018 --> 01:17:04,771
because I've kidnapped you
from your so-called duties.
1147

- You've kidnapped me?
- Mm-hmm.

- Just remember that, will you?
- Please forgive me.

01:17:09,608 --> 01:17:11,736
Why, sure.
I don't think kidnapping's...

01:17:11,861 --> 01:17:15,411
anything to get sore about when done
by the right kidnapper, do you?
1151
01:17:15,531 --> 01:17:17,249
- Not at all.
- Thanks.
1152
01:17:18,784 --> 01:17:20,752
(RINGING)
1153
01:17:24,623 --> 01:17:26,170
Hello?
1154
01:17:27,585 --> 01:17:30,964
No, Mr. ffolliott.
I'm afraid he's not in yet.
1155
01:17:31,088 --> 01:17:32,635
Very well, sir.
1156
01:17:44,602 --> 01:17:46,980
- Johnny, you don't love me.
- You're crazy.
1157
01:17:47,146 --> 01:17:50,696
- You looked unhappy when you kissed me.
- Never happier in my life.
1158
01:17:50,816 --> 01:17:52,989
Won't do.
Johnny, what's happened?
1159
01:17:53,110 --> 01:17:55,704
The war, I guess.
They say it's coming tomorrow.
1160
01:17:55,821 --> 01:17:58,574
So you've changed
your philosophy since yesterday.
1161
01:17:58,699 --> 01:18:01,248
There are more important things
in the world than love.
1162
01:18:01,368 --> 01:18:03,791
- I've got lots to do. Important things.
- Carol...
1163
01:18:03,913 --> 01:18:06,666
Got to get started.
It'll take three hours to get back.
1164
01:18:06,791 --> 01:18:10,011
I'm not going to be misunderstood.
I'm so in love, I'm going mad.
1165
01:18:10,127 --> 01:18:12,505
Won't do.
I suppose it can't be helped.
1166
01:18:12,671 --> 01:18:14,924
You've turned European
on me overnight, Johnny.
1167
01:18:15,049 --> 01:18:19,520
That's unfair. I'm just as big
a jackass as I ever was. Bigger.
1168
01:18:19,637 --> 01:18:22,015
You're not going back
to London to dinner tonight.
1169
01:18:22,181 --> 01:18:24,809
You can't run out
on your kidnapper like that.
1170
01:18:24,934 --> 01:18:27,653
I mean...
Well, you know what I mean.
1171
01:18:27,770 --> 01:18:30,319
If you run out on me now,
I'm going...
1172
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:32,658
straight to London
and let them bump me off.
1173
01:18:32,775 --> 01:18:34,493
Be a relief at that.
1174
01:18:34,610 --> 01:18:37,989
Well, you are moody.
Am I the cause?
1175
01:18:40,616 --> 01:18:44,211
If you knew how much
I loved you, you'd faint.
1176
01:18:52,086 --> 01:18:54,214
There.
What'd I tell you?
1177
01:18:54,380 --> 01:18:57,054
- (KNOCK AT DOOR)
- Come in.
1178
01:18:57,174 --> 01:18:58,801
- Mr. Haverstock?
- Yes?
1179
01:18:58,926 --> 01:19:01,054
- Call from London.
- Have them switch it up.
1180
01:19:01,220 --> 01:19:03,348
Sorry, there's only one phone...
in the office.
1181
01:19:03,472 --> 01:19:05,895
All right, I'll come down.
1182
01:19:06,058 --> 01:19:08,356
Forgive me
for a moment, dear.
1183
01:19:14,316 --> 01:19:16,410
Just a moment, sir.
1184
01:19:23,075 --> 01:19:24,418
Hello?
1185
01:19:24,535 --> 01:19:28,210
Is that you, Haverstock, old boy?
Are you alone? Can you talk?
1186
01:19:28,330 --> 01:19:32,130
I can't get a hold of Fisher.
He's been out all afternoon.
1187
01:19:32,251 --> 01:19:35,596
I'm afraid you'll have to keep the girl
much longer than we'd planned.
1188
01:19:35,754 --> 01:19:39,099
I don't know what time he'll be back.
I've got to catch him alone.
1189
01:19:39,216 --> 01:19:40,889
Keep the girl there
for the night.
1190
01:19:41,010 --> 01:19:43,263
But that's
absolutely impossible.
1191
01:19:43,387 --> 01:19:45,890
We can't let
this thing go now.
1192
01:19:47,099 --> 01:19:50,979
I can't very well explain, but I simply
couldn't pull a thing like that.
1193
01:19:51,103 --> 01:19:55,358
You've got to try. There isn't anything
else to be done. I'm counting on you.
1194
01:19:55,482 --> 01:19:56,950
Hello?

Hello?
1196
01:20:10,289 --> 01:20:12,462
Are you quite satisfied
with your room, sir?
1197
01:20:12,625 --> 01:20:15,674
Well, not exactly.
That is, I mean, yes...
1198
01:20:15,794 --> 01:20:18,217
but I really wanted
another room as well...
1199
01:20:18,339 --> 01:20:20,182
a single room.
1200
01:20:20,299 --> 01:20:22,768
Oh. Mr. Naismith?
1201
01:20:22,885 --> 01:20:25,479
Mr. Naismith, this gentleman
wants another room.
1202
01:20:25,638 --> 01:20:29,017
For the young lady?
How long will you be requiring it?
1203
01:20:29,141 --> 01:20:32,065
(JONES) She'll only be here
just the one might.
1204
01:20:34,772 --> 01:20:37,491
- The gentleman has number 7, sir.
- What about number 8?
1205
01:20:37,608 --> 01:20:39,997
It doesn't really make
any difference, so long
1206
01:20:40,023 --> 01:20:42,309
as it's a good room...
windows and all that.
1207
01:20:42,404 --> 01:20:44,156
I quite understand, sir.
1208
01:20:44,281 --> 01:20:47,080
I think perhaps the room
next to yours would be best.
1209
01:20:47,201 --> 01:20:50,375
It's quite cozy, isn't it,
Miss Pollitt? Number 8?
1210
01:20:50,496 --> 01:20:53,500
- They're all very much alike to me, sir.
- (JONES) Eight'll do.
1211
01:20:53,666 --> 01:20:56,419
Will you bring the young lady
and sign the book, please?
1212
01:20:56,543 --> 01:20:59,046
Yes, I'll... I'll get her.
1213

(PEOPLE CONVERSING, INDISTINCT)
1214
01:21:18,190 --> 01:21:20,363
- Good evening, sir.
- Good evening, Stiles.
1215
01:21:26,115 --> 01:21:29,540
Terrible thing, sir, that poor man
who was here this morning.
1216
01:21:29,702 --> 01:21:32,125
Yes, terrible, Stiles.
My bags all packed?
1217
01:21:32,246 --> 01:21:34,340
- Yes, sir.
- And Miss Carol's?
1218
01:21:34,456 --> 01:21:37,801
Mrs. Stiles packed hers too.
She hopes she's put in the right things.
1219
01:21:37,918 --> 01:21:40,967
It's been such a rush, especially
with Miss Carol not back yet.
1220
01:21:41,088 --> 01:21:43,807
Mr. ffolliott's here now.
He's waiting in the sitting room.
1221
01:21:43,924 --> 01:21:46,268
Another gentleman just phoned.
He wouldn't leave his name.
1222
01:21:46,385 --> 01:21:48,173
I thought I recognized
his voice as the
1223
01:21:48,199 --> 01:21:50,210
foreign gentleman who
was here at breakfast.
1224
01:21:50,306 --> 01:21:53,435
- Did he say he'd telephone again?
- Yes, he said it was urgent.
1225
01:21:53,559 --> 01:21:55,903
Well, show Mr. ffolliott
into the study.
1226
01:22:13,412 --> 01:22:14,013
Hello, sir.
1227
01:22:14,039 --> 01:22:16,441
Scott, you caught me
at a very busy moment.
1228
01:22:16,540 --> 01:22:18,588
I'm getting ready to go
to America tomorrow.
1229
01:22:18,709 --> 01:22:20,586
Are you taking
Carol with you?
1230
01:22:20,753 --> 01:22:24,678
Yes. She doesn't know yet. It's been
such a rush. I'm waiting for her now.
1231
01:22:24,798 --> 01:22:28,098
What's your worry? Must be important,
by the number of times you telephoned.
1232
01:22:28,260 --> 01:22:30,058
Yes, it is, sir.
It's about Carol.
1233
01:22:30,179 --> 01:22:33,433
- I'm afraid that...
- What? Anything happen to her?
1234
01:22:33,557 --> 01:22:36,276
I don't think you'll be able
to take her to America.
1235
01:22:36,393 --> 01:22:38,566
What do you mean?
Why not?
1236
01:22:39,938 --> 01:22:42,942
It'll sound rather silly to you,
but Carol has been kidnapped.
1237
01:22:43,067 --> 01:22:45,820
- Is this a joke of some sort?
- No, sir.
1238
01:22:46,820 --> 01:22:48,618
What do you mean, "kidnapped"?
1239
01:22:48,781 --> 01:22:51,330
I happen to know
she's with her aunt in Harpenden.
1240
01:22:51,450 --> 01:22:53,327
I'm afraid she isn't.
1241
01:23:04,671 --> 01:23:08,642
Stiles, who gave you the message that Miss
Carol had gone to her Aunt Margaret's?
1242
01:23:08,759 --> 01:23:11,478
Miss Carol herself, sir.
1243
01:23:11,595 --> 01:23:14,394
- Thank you, Stiles.
- That's where she thought she was going.
1244
01:23:24,775 --> 01:23:27,244
Get me Harpenden 43422.
1245
01:23:29,988 --> 01:23:32,161
Hello, is that you, Margaret?
1246
01:23:32,324 --> 01:23:33,997
Is Carol with you?
1247
01:23:37,246 --> 01:23:39,169
No. No, I...
1248
01:23:39,331 --> 01:23:42,551
I wasn't' certain. She said
she might run down to see you.
1249
01:23:42,668 --> 01:23:46,093
I didn't know whether
to expect her back for dinner.
1250
01:23:46,213 --> 01:23:48,466
Right. Good night, Margaret.
1251
01:23:50,884 --> 01:23:52,807
No, she isn't there.
1252
01:23:53,846 --> 01:23:55,848
What makes you say
she's been kidnapped?
1253
01:23:58,517 --> 01:24:01,487
Well, sir... I arranged it.
1254
01:24:05,023 --> 01:24:07,276
This has gone far enough.
Where is Carol?
1255
01:24:08,610 --> 01:24:11,409
Carol's being held
as a sort of hostage...
1256
01:24:11,530 --> 01:24:15,501
by some people who are very much
in earnest... as much as you are.
1257
01:24:15,617 --> 01:24:19,542
Don't be so cryptic. I haven't the
faintest idea what you're talking about.
1258
01:24:22,374 --> 01:24:24,672
I want to know
where you're hiding Van Meer.
1259
01:24:29,006 --> 01:24:32,556
(CHUCKLES) So that's it.
You've been talking with Haverstock.
1260
01:24:32,676 --> 01:24:35,930
He was here this morning telling us
about Van Meer still being alive.
1261
01:24:36,054 --> 01:24:38,225
You promised Haverstock you'd
look into it, didn't you?
1262
01:24:38,251 --> 01:24:38,832
Naturally.
1263
01:24:38,932 --> 01:24:42,937
An unusual way of looking into it,
trying to have him put out of the way.
1264
01:24:43,061 --> 01:24:46,611
I realize a life or two is a small
matter, the way you work.
1265
01:24:46,732 --> 01:24:50,703
Well, the people who have got Carol
can take a leaf out of your book.

Where is she?
What have you done with her?
1267
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,539

01:25:06,710 --> 01:25:10,431
I think I can get our Dutch friend
to talk if you come along.
1271
01:25:10,589 --> 01:25:14,093
Sorry to drag you here like this,
but I think it's the only way...
1272
01:25:14,218 --> 01:25:16,220
if you want to leave tomorrow.
1273
01:25:16,345 --> 01:25:19,224
When you get here,
ask at the cashier's desk...
1274
01:25:19,348 --> 01:25:21,021
to use the phone.
1275
01:25:21,141 --> 01:25:23,269
They'll show you straight up.
1276
01:25:24,436 --> 01:25:27,610
Very well.
I'll drop in as soon as I can.
1277
01:25:27,731 --> 01:25:30,735
If you want Carol, you'd better
tell me where Van Meer is.
1278
01:25:30,859 --> 01:25:32,721
Bring her back. I'll
give you the address.
1279
01:25:32,747 --> 01:25:34,479
Carol can be home
in three hours...
1280
01:25:34,571 --> 01:25:36,289
but I want that address now.
1281
01:25:36,448 --> 01:25:38,701
You'll have it as soon
as Carol is home.
1282
01:25:38,825 --> 01:25:41,044
I can't possibly
wait three hours.
1283
01:25:41,161 --> 01:25:44,085

to want Van Meer alive.

much for those points for my leader.

What is it that's upset you so?

01:26:51,523 --> 01:26:55,198
I know I'm being silly.
I'm behaving perfectly stupidly.

to go further away.

- Absolutely.

you're English... half English, anyway.

1637
01:48:09,580 --> 01:48:11,328
Right.
Let's get back there.

01:48:43,375 --> 01:48:44,627

1641
01:49:09,652 --> 01:49:11,370

Quick!

01:50:43,871 --> 01:50:46,374
No good staying on here.
She's going under.
1646
01:50:46,498 --> 01:50:47,966
Quick! Onto the wing!
1647
01:50:55,799 --> 01:50:57,676
(EXCLAIMING)
1648
01:51:41,428 --> 01:51:43,681
Look! There's the pilot!
1649
01:52:10,457 --> 01:52:12,966
Don't let him on, fools!
We shall all go down!
1650
01:52:12,992 --> 01:52:14,112
Shut your mouth!
1651
01:52:14,211 --> 01:52:16,680
- I'm gonna throw that swine off.
- No, he's right.
1652
01:52:16,797 --> 01:52:19,425
It won't hold us.
I'd better slip away.
1653
01:52:19,550 --> 01:52:22,850
Quickly move to the other end.
That might make it lighter here.
1654
01:52:41,071 --> 01:52:43,574
Hurry! He's gone!
1655
01:52:54,084 --> 01:52:57,384
Johnny, don't go!
You'll be washed away!
1656
01:53:04,011 --> 01:53:05,604
Johnny, come back!
1657
01:53:38,420 --> 01:53:40,138
Look!
1658
01:53:42,591 --> 01:53:45,310
It must be the enemy
coming to pick us up.
1659
01:53:46,303 --> 01:53:47,850
Is it the enemy?
1660
01:53:47,971 --> 01:53:50,394
We're all right.
She's American.
1661
01:53:54,353 --> 01:53:57,653
(MAN) American ship Mohican picked
us all up, taking us back to London.
1662
01:53:57,773 --> 01:54:00,151
I can't tell you what happened.
We're not allowed.
1663
01:54:00,317 --> 01:54:03,491
I'll wire from London
in a couple of days. Bye, Franklin.
1664
01:54:03,612 --> 01:54:06,957
This is awkward. I've just been
having a dirty row with the captain.
1665
01:54:07,074 --> 01:54:09,076
The fellow insists on acting
the true-blue neutral.
1666
01:54:09,201 --> 01:54:12,171
"Enemy waters." Not a line
to the press from his ship.
1667
01:54:12,287 --> 01:54:13,482
Can't send out any stories?
1668
01:54:13,508 --> 01:54:15,987
We can only use the wireless
for private messages.
1669
01:54:16,083 --> 01:54:19,087
"Hello, Aunt Effie. Safe aboard
the Mohican. Feeling tip-top."
1670
01:54:19,211 --> 01:54:23,762
I ask you! Two days before we get to
London, we get scooped on our own story.
1671
01:54:23,882 --> 01:54:25,993
Why don't you have a
crack at brass buttons?
1672
01:54:26,019 --> 01:54:26,956
What's the use?
1673
01:54:27,052 --> 01:54:29,521
What good will it do me?
My hands are tied.
1674
01:54:29,680 --> 01:54:31,353
- What are you talking about?
- Carol.
1675
01:54:31,473 --> 01:54:33,271
I came 4,000 miles
to get a story.
1676
01:54:33,392 --> 01:54:35,861
I get shot at like a duck,
pushed off buildings...
1677
01:54:35,978 --> 01:54:38,731
I get the story,
and then I got to shut up.
1678
01:54:38,855 --> 01:54:42,234
What are you grinning at? I'm not
gonna throw her father up for grabs.
1679
01:54:42,359 --> 01:54:45,738
He died like a hero to save
her and the rest of us.
1680
01:54:45,862 --> 01:54:48,365
I guess I'm talking
through my hat.
1681
01:54:48,490 --> 01:54:50,538
The whole point is
he was her father...
1682
01:54:50,659 --> 01:54:53,128
and I'm not gonna play
Judas to the only girl...
1683
01:54:53,245 --> 01:54:55,122
I'm glad you've said that.
Very glad.
1684
01:54:55,247 --> 01:54:57,375
- You dry? You all right?
- I'm all right.
1685
01:54:57,541 --> 01:54:59,794
I want you to send it,
the whole story.
1686
01:54:59,918 --> 01:55:02,012
- We'll talk about that later.
- No, please.
1687
01:55:02,129 --> 01:55:05,178
You can't help me
by protecting my father.
1688
01:55:05,299 --> 01:55:09,725
Listen, I'm in love with you. I can't hit
you with a scandal for a wedding present.
1689
01:55:09,845 --> 01:55:13,566
Johnny, my father fought
for his country his way.
1690
01:55:13,724 --> 01:55:16,603
It wasn't a straight way,
but it was a hard way.
1691
01:55:16,727 --> 01:55:19,856
And I've got to fight
for my country a hard way.
1692
01:55:19,980 --> 01:55:22,654
Okay, if that's the way
you feel about it.
1693
01:55:22,774 --> 01:55:25,402
- (PHONE RINGING)
- I guess that's for me.
1694
01:55:25,527 --> 01:55:28,997
I put in a call to my uncle...
Uncle Powers.
1695
01:55:29,114 --> 01:55:31,583
Hello? Hello?
1696
01:55:31,700 --> 01:55:33,418
Johnny Jones
calling from the Mohican.
1697
01:55:33,577 --> 01:55:37,582
What the deuce is he doing there? Wait.
Johnny wouldn't call if it wasn't a story.
1698
01:55:37,706 --> 01:55:40,209
Tell them to hold the presses.
Send Bradley in.
1699
01:55:40,334 --> 01:55:42,632
Tell him we're breaking up
page one. Hello?
1700
01:55:42,753 --> 01:55:44,755
Hello, Mr. Powers.
This is Johnny Jones.
1701
01:55:44,880 --> 01:55:46,427
Easy.
Here comes the captain.
1702
01:55:49,217 --> 01:55:51,561
Mr. Powers, keep your ear
glued to this phone...
1703
01:55:51,678 --> 01:55:53,430
and don't hang up.
1704
01:55:58,935 --> 01:56:01,284
Mr. Haverstock, I
want to talk with you.
1705
01:56:01,310 --> 01:56:01,964
Yes, sir?
1706
01:56:02,105 --> 01:56:03,877
I've just found out
you're a newspaperman.
1707
01:56:03,903 --> 01:56:04,974
I guess that's right.
1708
01:56:05,067 --> 01:56:08,037
Why didn't you tell me that
when I questioned you?
1709
01:56:08,153 --> 01:56:10,576
- You lied to me, sir.
- My dear captain...
1710
01:56:10,697 --> 01:56:13,951
when you've been shot down in
a British plane by a German destroyer...
1711
01:56:14,117 --> 01:56:17,121
300 miles off the coast of
England... latitude 45...
1712
01:56:17,245 --> 01:56:19,794
and have been hanging on
to a half-submerged wing for hours...
1713
01:56:19,915 --> 01:56:22,964
waiting to drown with half a dozen
other stricken human beings...
1714
01:56:23,126 --> 01:56:25,845
you're liable to forget
you're a newspaperman for a moment.
1715
01:56:25,962 --> 01:56:29,933
You're gonna have to forget it
for as long as you're on this ship.
1716
01:56:30,050 --> 01:56:31,973
I can't understand
your attitude, sir.
1717
01:56:32,135 --> 01:56:35,014
You performed a heroic rescue.
Captain John Martin.
1718
01:56:35,138 --> 01:56:36,326
You took us out of the sea.
1719
01:56:36,352 --> 01:56:38,508
You're not sending
anything from this ship.
1720
01:56:38,600 --> 01:56:40,853
- That's final.
- You're absolutely right, Captain.
1721
01:56:40,977 --> 01:56:43,321
We mustn't embarrass
the United States government.
1722
01:56:43,438 --> 01:56:44,860

You know who the head of that movement
was in London? Stephen Fisher.

What? You mean the man who ran the
Universal Peace Party? That's preposterous!
1729
01:57:04,126 --> 01:57:07,130
Yes, the same Mr. Fisher
who was drowned a few hours ago.
1730
01:57:07,254 --> 01:57:10,349
He was using the Peace Party
as a cover-up for spies and traitors.
1731
01:57:10,465 --> 01:57:12,718
He was going to be arrested
and sent back to England.
1732
01:57:12,843 --> 01:57:13,844
Those are facts.
1733
01:57:13,870 --> 01:57:16,998
I can't believe it. He
was a friend of mine.
1734
01:57:17,097 --> 01:57:20,692
The same Stephen Fisher who engineered the
kidnapping of Van Meer, the Dutch diplomat.
1735
01:57:20,809 --> 01:57:22,536
You don't expect
anybody to believe that.
1736
01:57:22,562 --> 01:57:23,383
It's the truth.
1737
01:57:23,520 --> 01:57:25,443
- I refuse...
- Captain, wait a minute.
1738
01:57:25,564 --> 01:57:27,572
This young lady should
know whether my friend
1739
01:57:27,598 --> 01:57:29,344
is speaking the truth
about Mr. Fisher.
1740
01:57:29,443 --> 01:57:32,743
Yes, I ought to know.
Mr. Fisher was... my father.

I've been watching a part
