00:15Joe! Mr. Harrop. Yeah, it's me. Surprise. The neatest trick of the week and I fell
00:33for it. A phony conk on the head, a handy doctor, that bandage job and right through
00:39customs comes a half a million bucks in jewelry. Where's Joe? Where's my Joe? Are you kidding?
00:47He's right in there where your friends left him. Joe! Joe! He's dead?
01:09If that's an act, you're terrific. I don't get it. Miss Van Boren. Kathy. Kathy, look
01:21at me. Look at me. I'm your friend, believe me. I want to help you. But you've got to

01:37me. You can't tell me. Stop it. Stop it. Listen to me. Listen to me, Kathy. I didn't

02:20plane. I was in the passageway. Someone in wake of me. I turned around, but it was too
02:33late. Did you see who it was? No. It was too quick and too dark. I wake up. There was a
02:44man with a gun and a woman who... She was bending over me, doing something to the bandage
02:52on my head. I was a crate. I was frightened. And you found the necklace? Yes. Kathy, you
03:03do have that necklace now? Yes. I can only think of one thing. I want to see Joe. Kathy,
03:16do you know anybody else in this country? Do you know someone that you could go to? Nobody.
03:29I'm afraid they'll send you home. In a couple of days. Kathy. There's a man and a woman from
03:49the underground. Now look, Kathy. I'm sending you to a friend of mine. Now listen carefully.
03:58I'll be hung for this, I know. Now go to this address and ask for Mrs. Hoffman. Mrs. Hoffman.
