00:30THE END
01:00Every government has its Secret Service branch.
01:05America at CIA, France, Desi M Bureau, England, MI5.
01:10A messy job?
01:12Well, that's when they usually call on me or someone like me.
01:15Oh, yes.
01:17My name is Drake.
01:18John Drake.
01:30Well, these aren't just forgeries. They're perfect forgeries.
01:38How do you tell them for the real thing?
01:39Only by the numbers.
01:40They started coming through about three years ago,
01:42from banks in Madrid, Rome, London, Paris, Munich, even Tangier.
01:47The grand total lost to the United States Treasury at the moment
01:50stands at something over $25 million.
01:52You have no indication where they've been printed, not even the country?
01:55I'm not even sure which continent.
01:58There you are.
01:59See that man coming out of the Wilmer now?
02:01Uh-huh.
02:01The one with the girl?
02:03That's General Gunther von Klaus.
02:06A very smart cookie, indeed.
02:08And our number one suspect is the guy that's pushing this stuff.
02:11Any proof?
02:12Very little.
02:13Except that the last fellow we had on his tail
02:14was found dead two days ago in a hotel bedroom.
02:17Naturally, we're going to keep on trying.
02:19Naturally?
02:21Who's the girl?
02:21His daughter.
02:23Never leaves his side.
02:25I want you to stay close to them, Drake.
02:27I've got to know where that money's coming from.
02:29I'll do my best.
02:30Well, it looks like you're in for a journey.
02:32They're pulling into the railway station.
02:45Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here?
02:49No.
02:49Most of all.
02:50Thank you very much.
02:58Oh, pardon me, but I feel sure that I've seen you both somewhere before.
03:03Were you staying at the hotel, Wilmer?
03:05Yes, we were.
03:06Oh, I thought so.
03:07So was I.
03:07Did you like it?
03:10Oh, I didn't think much of it, either.
03:14Cigarette?
03:15No, thank you.
03:16No, I don't smoke, thank you.
03:20Do you mind if I do?
03:25Wine, sir?
03:26Oh, yes.
03:27Oh, by the way, sir, would you care to join me in a bottle of wine?
03:32No.
03:34Would you?
03:34No wine, thank you very much.
03:44Are you traveling all the way to Vienna?
03:47Are you going to stop up somewhere?
03:48No, my daughter and I are not traveling all the way to Vienna, Mr. Drake.
03:54Drake.
03:55Drake.
03:56Do you see those lights?
04:07St. Anton.
04:09He's famous for skiing.
04:10I suppose you do a good deal, do you?
04:12No, not now.
04:13I used to when I was younger.
04:15Oh, yes.
04:15Skiing can be pretty tough when you get to your age.
04:17I'm 23.
04:1823?
04:19Are you worried?
04:20Well, well, well.
04:21Oh, it's not that.
04:23It's just that I don't have very much time nowadays.
04:26Well, how do you spend your time then?
04:28Dancing?
04:28Parties?
04:29No, I don't dance.
04:30Not any longer.
04:31Come on, you're joking.
04:33What do your boyfriends have to say about that?
04:35I don't have any friends.
04:36Not at the moment.
04:37Oh, no.
04:37You're an attractive girl like you.
04:39I don't.
04:42It's just that we never stay anyplace long enough for to make friends really well.
04:47Really?
04:48Excellent.
04:49Of course.
04:50So, you travel about a good deal, do you?
04:53Yes, we do.
04:56You know, I don't think your father was very pleased with me introducing myself the way I did.
05:01My great father is always like that.
05:03He's very forbidding.
05:06Perhaps just a little.
05:07He discourages young men.
05:09He does.
05:12This is very silly of him, I know, but it's like that.
05:16Do you think perhaps he doesn't like me?
05:18Oh, I'm sorry to say it's enough.
05:21So, you never get to meet people of your own age, huh?
05:24No.
05:26You see, it is not his fault.
05:27It is his work.
05:29We always visit so many places.
05:32We're always on the move.
05:34He must have a very interesting job.
05:36What does he do?
05:36Well, I don't really know.
05:40You don't know?
05:41No, not exactly.
05:45Mitzi.
05:48Mitzi, what are you doing here at this time of night?
05:50Good evening, Mr. Klaus.
05:51I assure you that everything is all right.
05:53I'm speaking to my daughter.
05:54Oh, we're just having a little talk.
05:57Surely there's no harm in that, is there?
05:59When I want your opinion, I shall ask for it.
06:01Mitzi, go to bed.
06:02And I do not wish you to speak to people whom you do not know.
06:04Oh, Mr. Klaus, I can give you my credentials.
06:07I can guarantee my very proper intentions.
06:09I assure you that all you were doing was having a little chat
06:11and there's absolutely no harm in a thing like that.
06:13Mitzi, you heard me.
06:14Go to bed at once.
06:16I'm sorry.
06:19Good night.
06:20Good night.
06:20Good night.
06:20Good night.
06:22Good night.
06:23Good night.
06:24Good night.
06:54Good night.
07:09What is this place?
07:11It's a sea hotel.
07:13It runs down to the lake.
07:14Is it a nice hotel?
07:15Well, if you like that sort of thing, full of rich people lying around eating and drinking.
07:21Oh, well, I think I can take it.
07:45Oh, good morning. Good morning, sir. Do you have a room? Have you made a reservation, sir?
07:49No, but I've heard a great deal about your hotel.
07:52Who's from? Oh, a friend of mine. He said I'd enjoy myself here.
07:55I heard he's right, sir. Would you mind signing the register, please?
07:57Thank you. Filling in this form and handing me your passport.
08:00Of course. Thank you very much.
08:02Thank you. I'm obliged.
08:15Well, well, what a coincidence. Good morning to you and to you, sir. Do you mind?
08:21Good morning. Thank you.
08:23Oh, if we had known that you were coming, we would have given you a lift from a station.
08:26Well, if I'd have known, I'd have asked for one. You know, what a lovely spot in the air.
08:31Marvelous.
08:45Who is that young man?
08:53An American tourist, an ill-bred, persistent young fellow.
08:56How did you meet him?
08:57And he was also staying at the Hotel Filme and Sirish.
09:00Afterwards, he forced himself upon us in the train.
09:03Now he's turned up here. That's one meeting too many.
09:06You don't have to worry. It's not me he's following. It's my daughter.
09:09You're deceiving yourself on class. That is precisely what he wants you to think.
09:13You're too nervous. You're always imagining danger.
09:17You say that he's following your daughter. I say he's following you.
09:22We'll put this to the test.
09:24After a little while, you go off by yourself or walk up the mountain.
09:29Your daughter will stay down here by the lake.
09:31We'll soon see whose company he prefers.
09:40Can we have a telegraph form, please?
09:42I believe that dear Mr. Von Garling is making up a party to go on the lake.
09:47I should hate to miss it.
09:49That's quite a right, madam.
09:50The boat will be leaving the hotel jetty at 12 o'clock.
09:53Lunch will be on the boat.
09:54Oh, isn't that exciting, Lottie?
09:57I wonder if this nice young gentleman's coming too.
10:00Well, the young gentleman hasn't made up his mind yet, Lottie.
10:04Would you read that all for me, please?
10:05Certainly, sir.
10:06Keller, American Express, Zurich, romantic interlude, have met my dream girl, forward all-male,
10:12of the Hotel Steinberg's Zee Drake, correct?
10:15All right, thank you.
10:16Romantic interlude.
10:18Oh, Mr. Drake, such a pretty girl, too.
10:20I know them quite well, you know.
10:21Oh, really?
10:22Yes, I come here every year.
10:23I've watched her grow up.
10:25You can't expect true love to run smoother, you know, Mr. Drake.
10:28That father of hers never lets her out of his sight.
10:31Oh, he's a real tartar.
10:34Oh, good morning, General von Klaus.
10:37Going for another expedition up the mountain.
10:43Oh, would you excuse me, please?
10:44I've forgotten something.
11:01Good morning, Mr. Drake.
11:06Good morning, Mr. von Gulling.
11:08Tell me what are you thinking of doing on this very pleasant day, eh?
11:11Oh, I don't know.
11:12You're the very man to advise me, Mr. von Gulling.
11:14What do you recommend?
11:15Well, you could take the cable car to the top of the mountain.
11:18There's a magnificent view from up there, you know.
11:20On the other hand, maybe it would be more pleasant to sit down here in the sunshine by the lake, eh?
11:25It's up to you to decide.
11:27Yes, of course.
11:27I'm obliged, though.
11:28Thank you very much.
11:31Oh, may I join you?
11:34Oh, oh, Mr. Drake, I'm sorry.
11:36I have to ask you not to talk to me like this.
11:40Oh, I'm sorry if I've offended you in any way.
11:44No, no, no, you haven't.
11:44It's just that my father doesn't like it.
11:50Perhaps you could be just a little bit more independent?
11:54Mr. Drake, I have to look after my father.
11:58He's a very lonely man.
11:59He needs me.
12:01Oh, yes, I appreciate that.
12:03I must do as he asks.
12:05So, please, it upsets him if he sees us together.
12:10For us, it is only a moment of friendship, no matter how pleasant.
12:15You've been very frank.
12:16I understand.
12:17Well, I came here to do a little bit of climbing, have some exercise, and as I can't talk to you, I suppose I'd better go and have it.
12:26Oh, goodbye.
12:26It's been nice meeting you.
12:57Ah, Mr. Gregg again.
13:22There seems to be a sort of pattern to our meetings. It can't be just coincidence.
13:32Tell me, Mr. Drake, do you believe in destiny?
13:35No, not altogether.
13:37I do. I believe that everything that is going to happen to us in life is unorderably predetermined at birth.
13:43Especially death, Mr. Drake.
13:46Oh, really? You don't smoke, do you, Mr. Von Platt?
13:48Are you sensitive to heights?
13:51Oh, they don't affect me.
13:53That's good.
13:54Last summer, one of the guests at the hotel threw himself out of this car.
13:58Oh?
13:59Yes.
14:00It seems that he couldn't stand heights.
14:02It was his first ride in a cable car.
14:04They think he panicked, you know, caustrophobia, vertigo.
14:07He fell just down there, from where you're standing now.
14:11Sure no one pushed him?
14:13According to Herr von Golding, the owner of the hotel, there was absolutely no question of foul play.
14:18Oh, that's reassuring, isn't it, Henry?
14:20Oh, do be careful.
14:22That door is not very reliable.
14:31Don't worry about me, Von Traus.
14:33I'm not liable to fall unless someone pushes me.
14:36And if anybody does, I can promise you they'll come with me.
14:39There's too well you drank.
14:41And what are you doing here?
14:48I think you know Von Traus.
14:50I think that's what's worrying you.
14:51And what's more, I think you're right to be worried.
14:52I don't understand.
14:53In the last eight months, you've passed five million dollars worth of counterfeit money.
14:57You don't like what you're doing.
14:58You don't like working for Von Golding.
15:00He's not your kind.
15:02Now listen, Klaus.
15:04It's not too late, you know.
15:06You still have a chance.
15:08If you're not too deeply involved.
15:09Involved in murder, I mean.
15:11Now why don't you tell me everything?
15:14There's nothing to tell you.
15:17You know, a lot of people are going to suffer.
15:20Von Traus and none more than, none more than your daughter.
15:24She's a lovely girl.
15:25You must be very proud of her.
15:27You know, if you were to help me now, it would be easier, not only for you, but for Mitzi.
15:33But she's not mixed up in this racket, is she?
15:35Oh no.
15:37You've told me all I wanted to know.
15:40Now provided you help me,
15:42I think I can be of assistance to you.
15:49Think about it, Tarsum.
15:51Think about Mitzi.
15:55You take your walk up the mountain.
15:57I'll be back at the hotel.
15:58I'll be waiting.
16:08Hello?
16:09Hello, Vienna?
16:10One moment, please.
16:11Mr. Kofi will be another.
16:16Hi, Mr. Drake.
16:17Hello, any messages for me?
16:18I thought I should go up in the cable car.
16:19Yeah, that's right.
16:20Any messages?
16:21No, Mr. Drake.
16:22Tell me, did you see General Von Klaus?
16:23Oh, yes.
16:24As a matter of fact, we went up in the car together.
16:25He's a very interesting man.
16:26We had a long talk.
16:27Oh, what did you talk about?
16:28About you, Mr. Von Golley.
16:29Oh, a moment, please.
16:30Mr. Drake.
16:31He wants to call the Zurich number.
16:32No calls.
16:33Hello, what's going on there?
16:34I'm sorry, sir.
16:35It's impossible to connect.
16:36What do you mean?
16:37We're cut off.
16:38There have been floods in the two walls.
16:39The lines are down.
16:40be a thing.
16:41All right.
16:42I want to make a call to the Zurich, please.
16:45Two.
16:46Double.
16:47Double.
16:48One moment, please, sir.
16:50It's Mr. Drake.
16:51He wants to call the Zurich number.
16:53No calls.
16:55Hello, what's going on there?
16:58I'm sorry, sir.
16:59It's impossible to connect.
17:00What do you mean?
17:01We're cut off.
17:03There have been floods in the two walls.
17:04The lines are down.
17:05Is it possible to get through to Vienna?
17:07I'm sorry, sir.
17:08It's impossible at present.
17:09It's possible for the present.
17:39It's possible for the present.
18:09What went wrong?
18:26Or do you still think that he's a simple American tourist?
18:29No, he's anything but that.
18:30Then who is he?
18:31I don't know who he is, but he knows all about us.
18:33About the money, the amount of counterfeit passed, and all about you.
18:36Why didn't you push him out of that cable car when you had the chance?
18:38I will be mixed up with no more killing.
18:41Von Klaus, did anybody else know that you were coming here?
18:44No.
18:45Drake has not been able to send any messages since he got here.
18:48I made sure of that.
18:49So nobody else knows anything that he might have found out.
18:52Nobody else knows he's here.
18:54All we have to do is eliminate him.
18:56I will not let you do it.
18:57Don't worry, General.
18:59His body won't be found anywhere near here.
19:01No, Von Garling. This is the finish.
19:03You're right, General.
19:05After all, you are the only link they have with us.
19:08This is the finish.
19:10This is the finish.
19:40The finish.
19:41The finish.
19:42The finish.
19:43The finish.
19:44The finish.
19:45The finish.
19:46The finish.
19:47The finish.
19:48The finish.
19:49The finish.
19:50The finish.
19:51Oh, is that the operator?
19:52The finish.
19:53This is an emergency.
19:54Would you get me the police, please?
19:55Can you get me the police, please?
20:05Oh, please. This is the Sea Hotel Steinberg.
20:08See, a man has been killed here.
20:10Yes, a murder.
20:12And if you don't hurry, there might be another one.
20:14How long will you be?
20:15Ten minutes.
20:17Might be as quick as you can.
20:25Oh, Mr. Drake, have you seen my father?
20:32I saw him coming upstairs. He's not in his room.
20:34Yes, I did see him, Mitzi. I'm afraid there's...
20:36there's been a bit of trouble.
20:38What trouble?
20:39Please.
20:43Come on, quickly, please.
20:46What is it?
20:48I'm sorry, Mitzi, but I can't explain now.
20:51You may be in great danger. Your father asked me to take care of you.
20:54My father, but I don't understand what is happening.
20:56Did you know that your father and von Golling were doing business together?
20:59No.
21:00You come often to stay in this hotel, don't you?
21:02Oh, yes, we call about once a month.
21:04Sometimes we visit in the winter.
21:07But it's closed then.
21:08Officially, yes, but my father and Herr von Golling are great friends.
21:11Any idea why he comes to stay at a place like this in the winter?
21:14Yes, he likes to test his theory.
21:16He believes that they are the remains of an old Roman city under the lake.
21:19Under the lake.
21:21Oh, yes.
21:23What does he do?
21:25Go diving in the middle of winter?
21:27Yes.
21:28Oh, this is grand.
21:31Where are you after?
21:33Surely you haven't forgotten, Mr. Drake.
21:35It's the trip to the lake.
21:37Got to get you on that boat.
21:39No, no, I can't go.
21:40I must find out what's happened.
21:41Now, listen, Mitzi.
21:42Your father wants you to stay with the other guests.
21:43Your life may be in danger.
21:44Now, come on.
21:45Why? Why?
21:46I must know.
21:47Where is my father?
21:48Yes.
21:49All right, you do exactly as I said.
21:50You get on that boat.
21:51Now, come on, quickly.
22:08This way, move.
22:10Now, I'm running a Rocky.
22:26Now, do a nice little game of hide-and-seek.
22:28You just stay there, Mitzi.
22:29Don't make a sound.
22:30Let's go.
23:00Mr. Drake?
23:16Mr. Drake, if you could spare a moment, I'd like a word with you.
23:19Master key.
23:23This key's on the inside.
23:25They're in there.
23:27Open up, Drake. We know you're there.
23:30Take it down.
23:54Another two minutes.
23:55We'll be safe.
23:58Bring it up, Drake.
24:01I can't. It's jammed.
24:05It's some tools, Nancy.
24:09The collectors will be here now.
24:10No.
24:11Police.
24:11Over there.
24:37You all right?
24:38I don't think so.
24:40Welcome, gentlemen.
24:42All right.
24:45Nice of you to come.
24:49We dredged the lake for the next three weeks.
24:51We brought up no Roman antiquities.
24:53No signs of an ancient city.
24:55Just packing cases.
24:56Each one loaded with millions of dollar bills.
24:59These were made by order of Himmler during the war.
25:02By expert technicians who were prisoners in the concentration camp that once stood on the side of Steinbergsee.
25:07As the Allies marched in, the Nazis dumped the residue of their counterfeit fortune in the lake.
25:13Now I had the job of telling Mitzi about her father's death.
25:18Come on.
25:20Well, let's come.
25:30Let's do it.
25:40Come on.
25:40The End
