00:00Satsang with Mooji
01:30The bank, yes.
01:31That vault popped open like a muffin.
01:33And the police.
01:34They were too fast for me to get clear away, so we'll proceed with the other plan.
01:38All right, come on, get away.
01:40Hey, son, now, please.
01:42One loon dandage flashes in and out of here before you know it.
01:45Now, all I want to know is that...
01:57I know, I know.
01:58I've had a report.
01:59Join the cordon, officer.
02:00Yes, sir.
02:00I'm Nielsen of the yard.
02:02This is Inspector to Dennis.
02:03We're taking charge.
02:03Well, you're a bit late.
02:05The bandit's gone.
02:06Shot away with 10,000 pounds of the bank's money.
02:08Well, he can't get far.
02:10Speed plan completed?
02:11Yes, sir.
02:11One minute after the alarm, our car's established a cordon around the entire district.
02:14Good.
02:15Our man must be inside that line.
02:17The net will close at the rate of one square an hour.
02:20Our fist can't possibly wriggle out of it.
02:21But suppose Mr. Barrows finds you.
02:23He'll know you're not one of his men.
02:25I'll say I'm taking your place because you're ill.
02:27But suppose the police come here?
02:28Suppose...
02:29What if they do?
02:30I'm ready for them.
02:32Mr. Armages, it's...
02:34It's an education to work with a man like you.
02:37Awkwardly.
02:50No, you!
02:51You!
02:52No!
02:53Remember what you promised.
02:55You're not going to play cups and robbers ever again.
02:58No, dearest, only I...
02:59Hugh Drummond, when are we going to be married?
03:01On the 10th, sweetheart.
03:02And how long is that?
03:03A day?
03:04Three days, sweetheart.
03:05Well, you don't forget it because if you do...
03:08Oh, Phyllis, you wouldn't marry that flight to Aldergate, would you?
03:10Hugh, I want to marry you more than anything else in the world.
03:13Oh, I knew you were only bluffing about Aldergate.
03:15But I've promised to marry Mr. Aldergate on the 11th.
03:18If you don't take me on the 10th,
03:19It's your last chance, Hugh Drummond, so help me.
03:22It's the only chance I'll ever need, darling.
03:25Aye!
03:26Aye!
03:28What are you two after?
03:30Cheap suicide?
03:31Pee!
03:31Pee!
03:32Pee!
03:32Pee!
03:33Pee!
03:33Pee!
03:34Pee!
03:34Pee!
03:37Pee!
03:38Pee!
03:38Pee!
03:39Pee!
03:39Pee!
03:40Pee!
03:41No, what, darling.
03:41Now what's the problem?
03:42First, we'll go and see what the decorators are doing to our new home.
03:45Right.
03:49That's Nielsen's car.
03:50Well, what if it is?
03:51Well, didn't you see him wave at me?
03:53He needs me.
03:53He'd never forgive me if I left him in the lurch, fellas.
03:56I'll be back in a jiffy.
03:59In half a jiffy.
04:01Don't hurry back on my account.
04:03You! You!
04:12Hey!
04:13Fishy-fishy in the brook. Papa catching with a hook.
04:16How's fishing, Inspector?
04:17Don't call me Inspector.
04:19Oh, how did you get here?
04:21Well, Colonel, I was having a little look-see at my new flap,
04:23and what did I hear but police cars?
04:25Hugh, isn't the bank robbery on my hands enough
04:28without having you in my hair and under my feet and between my teeth?
04:31Well, now, Colonel, after all I've done for Scotland Yard.
04:34After all you've done?
04:35Look here, sir.
04:36What's that?
04:38Army?
04:40Well, that's a new one, but we won't discuss that now.
04:43Hugh, go home, you young scamp.
04:47Please, go home.
04:48Go and marry that lovely girl of yours,
04:50and don't please come middling in my affairs.
04:53Why, Colonel, I wouldn't bother with a simple bank robbery, because...
04:56Well, because what?
04:57Well, because it might just possibly be a case.
04:59Just possibly, mind you, a case that you could solve for yourself.
05:03That's all right.
05:04Good luck, Inspector. You'll need it.
05:06Good luck, Inspector. You'll need it.
05:07Good luck, Inspector. You'll need it.
05:36Good luck.
05:38Good luck.
05:39Good luck, Captain.
05:40Good luck, Captain.

09:43Murderers!
09:44You're killing me!
09:46Quiet, quiet, quiet.
09:49What is it, Doctor?
09:50Plain case of lead poisoning.
09:52Painters, occupational disease,
09:54mania, delusions, followed by spasms and coma.
09:57And then?
09:58Oh, they usually come out of it in time.
10:00It's a good thing you nabbed him before he did any real damage.
10:03What do you mean, before he did any real damage?
10:07What's happened here?
10:08One of the painters went bar me, sir.
10:10Good.
10:15Oh, my sacred aunt, I might have known it.
10:17If there's trouble happening anywhere, you'll be there.
10:19I'm sorry, Colonel.
10:20No, you're not sorry.
10:21You're only sorry when you miss something.
10:23Well, you're going to miss something now.
10:25Get out.
10:26But you can't throw me out, Colonel.
10:27No, really, why not?
10:28Because this is my flat.
10:29Our flat, darling.
10:30Yes, our flat, Colonel.
10:31Did you catch the bank robber?
10:33Bank robber?
10:34Hugh, was there a...
10:35Ask the Colonel.
10:36No, we haven't got him yet, but he can't possibly get through our lines.
10:39Every house in the whole area will be searched.
10:41We'll have him before nightfall.
10:42How much did he get from the bank?
10:44Man, he said about 10,000 pounds.
10:46Colonel, maybe I can...
10:47Or maybe you can...
10:48You can what?
10:49You're coming with me, Hugh Drummond.
10:50You want me to miss my train?
10:52Are you going to France today, Phyllis?
10:54Yes, I'm joining Aunt Blanche.
10:55Darling, will you do me a favor?
10:57Take him with you.
10:58He'll be over for the wedding on the 10th.
11:01I hope you're coming, Colonel.
11:02Well, if your perfect descent is going to take place, I wouldn't miss it.
11:05If he fails me this time, I'm going to marry Mr. Aldegut.
11:08Serve him right if he did.
11:09Wouldn't it just?
11:10Come on, Hugh.
11:11Oh, oh, just a moment.
11:12You'll need a pass to go through the lines.
11:14I'm afraid you can get through with that one.
11:17There she goes.
11:18How long has this painter been in your employ, Mr. Barrows?
11:21I'm not quite sure.
11:23Oh, some time, I believe.
11:25Have you ever noticed anything unusual about his conduct?
11:27No, no, I can't say I have.
11:29If there's anything I can do for him, Inspector, I'll be very glad to oblige,
11:33if you'll let me know where he is.
11:35I'm sure he'll be grateful.
11:37Thank you, Mr. Barrows.
11:39You'd better have one, too, Phyllis.
11:41There you are, my dear.
11:45Oh, sad case, Captain Drummond.
11:47Very sad.
11:48I assure you, every trace of his ridiculous work will be removed.
11:51Thank you, Mr. Barrows.
11:52Good day, Captain.
11:53Good day.
11:54Oh, Hugh, wait.
11:55Don't leave me like this.
11:56Chill.
12:03Have they caught the bank robber yet, Constable?
12:05Not yet, but he can't get away.
12:12Stand back.
12:13Stand back, Prince.
12:14Stand up for inspection, please.
12:15Everybody must be inspected.
12:16All right.
12:17Beg pardon, sir, but I've had orders to stop all cars from leaving this area.
12:20There's been a bit of a bank robbery, sir.
12:21No.
12:22Oh, you see.
12:23Oh, but in your case, sir, I know it's just a bit of formality.
12:25But I've had orders to stop everybody.
12:26Absolutely everybody.
12:27I'm sorry, sir, but this pass is just for the young lady.
12:28Would you mind waiting here a few moments, Captain Drummond?
12:29No.
12:30No.
12:31No.
12:32No.
12:33No.
12:34No.
12:35No.
12:36No.
12:37No.
12:38No.
12:39No.
12:40No.
12:41No.
12:42No.
12:43No.
12:44No.
12:45No.
12:46No.
12:47No.
12:48No.
12:49No.
12:50No.
12:51No.
12:52No.
12:53No.
12:54No.
12:55No.
12:56No.
12:57No.
12:58No.
12:59No.
13:00No.
13:01No.
13:02investing
13:24No, sir. I lent him one of my suits, sir.
13:27Why, Tenny, I didn't know you had another suit.
13:29Oh, for special occasions, sir. A new grey one.
13:31I see.
13:37Tillie blend, sir.
13:39Oh.
13:47Algy?
13:48Here, old boy.
13:50Oh, what a day, what a day.
13:52Little did I know, little did I dream when I popped in on your new flat.
13:55Keep a stiff upper lip, old boy, because we're popping right back there.
13:58Or anything you say, old boy. What?
14:00Yeah, it's from Phyllis.
14:04Please go to new flat, get portable radio set and send air express
14:08and make sure you aren't getting into more trouble.
14:10Yours until the 10th. Love, Phyllis.
14:14Well, I don't see why we have to go. Why can't Tenny go?
14:17I beg your pardon, sir. I should be very happy to attend to the meadow.
14:20Now, see, this chap Barrows is up to something.
14:22It sticks out like a sore thumb.
14:23And this is a good excuse to have another look at it.
14:25Well, but you know, old boy, I was on my way home, really.
14:27Now, nonsense, Algy.
14:28Don't worry about that painter.
14:29He's safe under lock and key.
14:30Tenny my hat.
14:31Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear.
14:41Well?
14:42Not a trace, sir.
14:43Absolutely nothing.
14:44No, but hang it, old man.
14:45He couldn't get away.
14:46We've tried everything, sir.
14:47The basements, attics, even the housetops.
14:49I can't see how any criminal could get through a cordon like that
14:52with his loot under his arm.
14:53Well, he's a smart one, and that's a fact.
14:55Yeah.
14:56Home secretaries just had me on the phone.
14:59The usual thing, questions, questions.
15:02Tomorrow the press will be doing the same thing.
15:05Have we any clues?
15:06When may we expect an arrest?
15:08What do the police propose to do?
15:09I don't quite know, sir.
15:10Neither do I.
15:11I wonder what young drummer would do.
15:12I beg pardon?
15:13Am I sending?
15:14I don't think so, sir.
15:15All right, then.
15:16Did you bring some clothes?
15:17Sure.
15:18In the car.
15:19Come on.
15:20Not so fast.
15:21I don't know what young drummer would do.
15:22I beg pardon?
15:23Am I sending?
15:24I don't think so, no.
15:25All right, then.
15:42Did you bring some clothes?
15:43Sure.
15:44I don't think so.
15:45I don't think so.
15:46I don't think so.
15:47I don't think so.
15:48I don't think so.
15:49I don't think so.
15:50I don't think so.
15:51I don't think so.
15:52You want to get anywhere in this business,
15:53you must learn not to leave anything behind.
15:54Well, you left the money.
15:55It's safely hidden, my boy.
15:56When the police go...
15:57They've gone already.
15:58All right.
15:59Good.
16:00Come on.
16:01Any news?
16:02I thought you should know, sir.
16:03That painter who went mad.
16:04He escaped from the hospital.
16:05Oh, he's probably gone straight back to his own home.
16:07We thought he'd do that, sir.
16:08But you see, he gave a false address.
16:09He what?
16:10He gave a false address in Peckham.
16:11They've never heard of him out there.
16:12But Dennis, I'm beginning to see daylight.
16:14Oh, what a fool I've been.
16:15What is it?
16:16Why, that painter.
16:17Why couldn't he be the very man we're looking for?
16:18Right out from under our very noses.
16:19But the manager, what's his name?
16:20Barrows.
16:21Yes, I think I'll go and have a talk with Mr. Barrows.
16:22And when I get through with him,
16:23I think we'll know a little more about our bank robber.
16:26Well, what's his name?
16:27Barrows.
16:28Yes, I think I'll go and have a talk with Mr. Barrows.
16:30And when I get through with him,
16:31I think we'll know a little more about our bank robber.
16:34Well, if it isn't the poor mad painter himself.
16:59Recovered quickly, didn't you?
17:01As a matter of fact, I was expecting you, but not quite so soon.
17:06Is this where you hid it?
17:08In the radio?
17:09I don't know what you're talking about.
17:11Oh, yes you do, Mr. Bank Robber.
17:14No tricks.
17:16Well, why don't you call the police?
17:19Why?
17:20Oh, we really don't need them, do we?
17:22Let me see now.
17:24Ten thousand pounds, wasn't it?
17:26Or didn't you have time to count it?
17:28I see.
17:29A split, huh?
17:30You couldn't stop me if I took all of it.
17:31But I'll be generous.
17:32Fifty-fifty, agreed.
17:33You're a smart man, Mr. Barrows.
17:34Oh, you're pretty smart yourself.
17:35You know, it takes brains to do what you did today.
17:37You better turn off that light.
17:38The police know this flat's not occupied.
17:41Did we blow a tire?
17:42There was no blowout, Elsie.
17:43That was a shot inside somewhere.
17:44Come on, we're going in.
17:45You stay here, Tony.
17:46Very good.
17:47What was that?
17:48Something's up there, boy.
17:49No, sir.
17:50You're pretty smart yourself.
17:51You know, it takes brains to do what you did today.
17:53You better turn off that light.
17:54The police know this flat's not occupied.
17:56Did we blow a tire?
17:57There was no blowout, Elsie.
17:58That was a shot inside somewhere.
17:59Come on, we're going in.
18:00You stay here, Tony.
18:01Very good, sir.
18:02What was that?
18:03Something's up, Elsie.
18:04Come on.
18:05Can I hear you, sir?
18:06What was that?
18:07Something's up, Elsie.
18:08Come on.
18:09Can I hear you, sir?
18:10What was that?
18:11Something's up, Elsie.
18:12Come on.
18:19Can I hear you, sir?
18:36Elsie, where's the flashlight?
18:39I thought you had it, Hugh.
18:41Oh.
18:42Must be a light switch around here somewhere.
18:57Nothing here, Hugh.
19:06Don't worry.
19:07Don't worry.
19:16Don't worry.
19:17Don't worry.
19:18Don't worry.
19:19Oh, no.
19:20Ow!
19:30His leg's up, Elsie.
19:31All right, old boy.
19:32I got him, old boy.
19:34I got him.
19:40Alcee, get him!
19:46He's gone, hasn't he?
19:48Yes, Alcee.
19:50Captain Drummond!
19:52In here, Tenny.
19:54Tenny, did you see a man escaping?
19:56Yes, sir.
19:58Well, why didn't you do something?
20:00Because he did it first, sir.
20:04You're not the only one, Tenny.
20:08Alcee, do you suppose he could have fired that shot we heard?
20:10What would he be firing at? There was nobody here.
20:12Let's have a look.
20:14Do you think he's coming back?
20:16Alcee, be sure you tie his ankles this time.
20:30No one took the line?
20:32No one took the line.
20:34No one took the line.
20:36Alcee, come on.
20:38I'm going to take the line.
20:40You won't take the line.
20:42Alcee, the lights.
20:44Yes, sir.
20:46Alcee, Alcee, I'm afraid we've made a mistake.
20:48Alcee, you see, we...
20:50We thought you were somebody else.
20:52Yes.
20:53A natural mistake, sir, under the circumstances.
20:55You see, Colonel, we didn't expect you.
20:56We didn't expect me.
20:58Well, who in blazes did you three hortums expect?
21:01We weren't quite sure.
21:03You see, we heard a pistol shot.
21:04What?
21:04No, no, no, no.
21:06We thought we heard a pistol shot, but it wasn't.
21:08It was a backfire.
21:10I see.
21:11Yes, it was a backfire.
21:12You see, Colonel, Phyllis wired me and asked me to come up here
21:14and get a radio set that she wanted.
21:16Yeah, and here it is, old boy.
21:18Marvelous invention, the radio.
21:20Great thing for shut-in.
21:21Yes, I'd like to see all three of you shut-in for six months at Harvey Wood.
21:24Now, Colonel.
21:24Oh, pardon me, sir, your hat, sir.
21:31Hugh.
21:31Yes, Colonel.
21:33What's this about a shot?
21:35Shot?
21:36Oh, nothing, nothing.
21:37Something we heard, a tire blowing, perhaps.
21:38You know, sounds at night, you can't tell a thing.
21:40Yes, yes, yes, yes, but you rushed up here thinking you had a shot, didn't you?
21:43Well, yes.
21:44And when you got here, you found everything quiet and peaceful.
21:47Perfectly quiet, Colonel.
21:48Yeah.
21:50Then what in the name of my sainted aunt, Harriet, is that?
21:53Oh, good heavens.
21:56Well, that's Barrows, the manager.
21:58Hill, that car you heard fires bullets through the heart.
22:03Oh, good heavens.
22:20Hello, Mr. Turay.
22:22Hey, bonjour, facteur.
22:32Hey, bonjour, facteur.
22:34Here's radio for Miss Phyllis Claverine.
22:36Merci, facteur.
22:42Find your man near here?
22:44That's it, colonel, but if he's here, I will.
22:46I know, I know.
22:48You think the bank robber, the painter and your burglar
22:50are all one and the same man?
22:52What did he say last night?
22:54There's an old offender.
22:55He's quite capable of committing both robbery and murder.
22:57Name's Henry Armadies.
22:58He's a dangerous customer.
23:00I'm sorry, inspector.
23:01I don't recognize him.
23:02Well, you couldn't have had more than a glimpse
23:03of the man in your flat last night.
23:04You probably wouldn't recognize his picture.
23:06I'm positive, colonel.
23:07His ugly mug was within an itch of my nose.
23:09Well, since you didn't see the painter,
23:10except with his face completely covered,
23:12we can't be sure they were the same even now.
23:14Colonel, the people at the hospital said that a man
23:16with lead poisoning couldn't get up for a week,
23:18and yet the painter was able to escape.
23:20He wasn't suffering from lead poisoning.
23:23Hugh, they couldn't have been right in both cases,
23:25now could they?
23:26No, they couldn't, colonel, but...
23:27No, no, no, no.
23:28We've given your theory a fair trial,
23:29and we've nothing left to go on.
23:31Colonel, let...
23:32Will you please go home, Hugh?
23:34Please go home.
23:35I've got work to do.
23:37Good luck, inspector.
23:38What?
23:39Well, it's not in the bedroom,
23:40so it must be in here.
23:41Suppose Drummond comes home.
23:42We'll take care of him if he does.
23:43How could he hide a radio in there?
23:44The money could have been taken out of the radio,
23:45my friend, and tacked to the bottom of the drawer.
23:47Well, if Drummond found the money,
23:48wouldn't he turn it into the police?
23:49Drummond's not such a fool.
23:50He likes money as well as we do.
23:51The main thing to remember in searching a room
23:53is that the unlikely places are the likeliest.
24:07When I was serving my apprenticeship, as you are now,
24:09I was sent to find a letter.
24:10A very important letter.
24:11I failed...
24:13because I didn't realize it could have been pinned
24:15into the draperies.
24:16Maybe you could have found a letter.
24:18I failed because I didn't realize
24:20it could have been pinned into the draperies.
24:22Maybe he carries it with him.
24:39Targemont, France.
24:41Darling, thanks for sending radio.
24:44Don't wait until the 10th.
24:46What are you going to do?
24:48Go to Targemont, of course.
24:52I'm going to go to Targemont.
24:56Wait!
24:58Are you leaving that message for Drummond to read?
25:00No, I'll tear it up, of course.
25:02Another thing.
25:04Captain Drummond must not go to Targemont today or undertake.
25:08He might make trouble for us there.
25:10How can we stop him?
25:12Watch.
25:14On the desk, there's some fishing line.
25:16Get it.
25:22You will observe, my friend, that this is train on the door through which Drummond will enter.
25:38I see.
25:40When Drummond opens the door, bingo.
25:42But suppose it gets the wrong person.
25:44Another shooting in a Drummond flat would interest the police, I imagine.
25:48Captain Drummond will be so busy exploiting he couldn't give us much trouble for several days.
25:54Crime and...
25:56What's that?
25:57Blake has the fingerprints.
25:58Good. Send him in.
25:59To Dennis, we're in luck.
26:00They've got fingerprints from the bank.
26:02Here are the fingerprints found in the London and Southminster banks, sir.
26:06Fingerprints from the bank robber?
26:07Definitely.
26:08These prints were taken from the handle of the paintbrush in Captain Drummond's flat.
26:12They're the same.
26:14Then Drummond was right.
26:16The bandit did hide in his flat.
26:17Good work, Blake.
26:18No, it's not all, sir.
26:19Look at these.
26:20Where do you get these things?
26:21From our files.
26:22They're the prints of Henry Armadie's.
26:23They're the same as these others.
26:24Look, line for line.
26:25That's right.
26:26That's all, Blake.
26:27That's right.
26:28That's right.
26:29Drummond was right.
26:31He's been right all the time.
26:32Don't forget that you had that idea first, sir.
26:34I know that.
26:35Only I hadn't sense enough to stick to it.
26:37Get me a picture of Armadie's from our files.
26:40I want Drummond to identify it.
26:41You only have one with the beard, and Drummond actually looked at that.
26:43Well, then paint the beard out, man.
26:44He'll recognize it quickly, Lathlin.
26:46I'll have him here in half an hour.
26:47Good.
26:57After you, Lathlin.
26:58After you, Lathlin.
26:59After you, Lathlin.
27:00After you, Lathlin.
27:01After you, Lathlin.
27:18Likes, Tinny.
27:19Yes.
27:20Oh.
27:21Do you think that was meant for a joke?
27:24Joke, Lathlin.
27:25I think it'd been named a few inches lower.
27:27It'd be no joke.
27:28Oh.
27:29Somebody's been here and deliberately ransacked the place, sir,
27:31with a fine tooth comb.
27:32Why, Tinny?
27:33First a new flat, and now this.
27:34Who is he?
27:35What's he want?
27:36I don't know, sir.
27:37Let me see that.
27:38Tinny, have we got any cables recently?
27:40No, sir.
27:41Perhaps it blew in through the window.
27:42Oh, nonsense.
27:43Algy, the window's closed.
27:50What's the matter, old boy?
27:51Did you lose something?
27:52Looks like it, Algy.
27:53Thought perhaps they'd torn up the message,
27:55but they were too smart for that.
27:56Might be from Phyllis.
27:57Do you think, sir, that a cable of ours
28:00has been intercepted by the enemy?
28:02Right, Tinny.
28:03Then may I suggest, sir,
28:04that we call up the telegraph office
28:06and have the message repeated?
28:08Brilliant idea, Tinny.
28:09I'd rather like it, sir.
28:10I'd rather like it, sir.
28:20Be careful, Algy.
28:26Hello.
28:27I want to repeat on a message.
28:28It wasn't quite clear.
28:29Yes, the name's Drummond.
28:30Hugh C. Drummond,
28:31number nine Chesty Mansions.
28:32That's right.
28:35Yes, go ahead.
28:36All right, thank you.
28:39Well?
28:40It's from Phyllis,
28:41thanking me for the radio.
28:42Oh, it's a good thing
28:43it wasn't anything important.
28:45Important?
28:46But it was important, Algy.
28:47Tinny!
28:48Yes, sir?
28:49Get in my bags.
28:50I'm leaving town.
28:51Very good, sir.
28:52What did you find out?
28:53Don't you understand, Algy?
28:54Everything checks.
28:55The bank robber, the mad painter.
28:56That's where he hid the money,
28:57in the radio.
28:58And I sent it to Phyllis.
28:59Oh, where are we going?
29:00We.
29:01Yes, we.
29:02All the way, old boy.
29:03We've just got time to catch the boat train, sir.
29:05No, it's too slow, Tinny.
29:06We wouldn't get there tomorrow night.
29:07I'm going by air.
29:08The three of us, sir?
29:09Why three?
29:10All for one and one for all, sir,
29:11as the saying goes.
29:12Very apt, Tinny.
29:13I rather like it, sir.
29:21I see trouble approaching, sir.
29:26Hello, Inspector.
29:27Afraid I can't stop to entertain you just now.
29:29That's all right, Captain Drummond.
29:30I'm going to entertain you.
29:32Who?
29:33Not arrested again?
29:34No, not exactly.
29:35We want you to look at some photographs.
29:36Oh, delighted, old chap.
29:37Tomorrow, or the day after.
29:38Not today.
29:39You're coming to the yard, Captain Drummond.
29:40Colonel Nielsen's orders.
29:41Well, I was going to take a plane.
29:43Ixte Ithwae Ime.
29:44I trae oh yea.
29:45Mind taking my car?
29:46It's quicker than the underground.
29:47Not at all, if you don't drive too fast.
29:49What did he say, sir?
29:51That is Pig Latin, Tinny.
29:53He said, stick with me, old boy.
29:56I see.
30:02What's the matter?
30:03Is the tank empty?
30:04Oh, there's plenty.
30:05Well, Tony, did you get that new battery?
30:06Yes, sir.
30:07Oh yea, I lay any day.
30:08No, sir.
30:09Get out and give us a push, will you?
30:10Yes, sir.
30:11Well, come along.

37:16Couldn't be the late news broadcast from London you're sitting up for, could it?
37:21I'm not worrying about Hugh.
37:23If he gets himself into trouble, he'll have to get himself out.
37:27Oh, Auntie, why hasn't he answered my cable asking him to come today instead of tomorrow?
37:32Well, you said it yesterday. He's probably in Zanzibar by now, chasing some will-o'-the-wisp.
37:40Monsieur, you'll have to double up. We only have one cell.
37:46You sit there, Mr. Boyd.
37:51Boyd?
37:53Oh, yes, of course, Boyd.
37:55Sure. I know all about you. Word goes around you, though.
38:00I'd be a pretty green one not to avert about you and the big jobs you've pulled.
38:05A person like you, at the top of the profession.
38:09Could teach a fellow like me a lot of tricks.
38:11You think so?
38:13Oh, I know how it is.
38:14You think I'm not worth bothering about.
38:17Well, maybe I'm not, Mr. Boyd.
38:19But the man I'm with, he's a big shot.
38:23Even you'd know his name if I told you.
38:25Yes, I imagine so.
38:26He won't let me stay in this rock no long.
38:29He needs me on a little job we were going to do.
38:32Just like the one we did in London three days ago.
38:34Uh, when did you come to Tajemont?
38:37Yesterday.
38:38We'd be on our way back now.
38:40Only I had some bad luck.
38:42We'll do the job properly this time.
38:48Good morning, sir.
38:50Morning.
38:51Well, what are you so cheerful about? Have you caught Amadeus?
38:53No, sir. Not yet.
38:54But he has a cablegram from the French police.
38:56They hold a suspect in Tajemont.
39:00Holding George Boyd alias Henry Jones claims name is Hugh Drummond.
39:05Please advise immediately how much reward you offer
39:08and when you will arrive to extradite him.
39:11I thought you'd see the joke on Drummond,
39:13giving me the slip and then getting nabbed.
39:16The joke's on your prey.
39:18Imagine anybody offering a reward for Drummond.
39:20Now, if they'd offer a reward to...
39:22This must be the house.
39:23Looks sort of Drummond-esque, don't you think, Tenny?
39:25If you say so, sir.
39:26Can you see two chimneys, old boy?
39:27No, sir.
39:28Don't you think it'd be better, sir,
39:29if we have a house?
39:30I'll see you.
39:31I'll see you.
39:32I'll see you.
39:33I'll see you.
39:34I'll see you.
39:35I'll see you.
39:36I'll see you.
39:37I'll see you.
39:38I'll see you.
39:39Don't you think it'd be better, sir,
39:40if we ask at the door?
39:42Perhaps you're right.
39:47I hope we find the radio before Hugh gets here.
39:49He'll have no heart for the marriage if it's gone.
39:51For Miss Felicity's sake, sir,
39:52we'd better not say a word about Captain Drummond being in jail.
39:56You can trust me, Tenny.
39:57I hope so, sir.
40:02Remember, sir, not a word about Captain Drummond.
40:05Oh, not a word.
40:06I'm Blanche.
40:08It's Hugh.
40:14Oh.
40:15What a trip.
40:16What a...
40:17Oh!
40:18Help!
40:23Tenny, where's Captain Drummond?
40:25He won't belong, Miss.
40:26Oh, no.
40:27Don't you worry, Phyllis.
40:28He'll be here soon.
40:29Colonel Nilsson will get him out in no time at all.
40:31Of course, it was most unexpected.
40:32But he won't cause any real delay.
40:33Huh?
40:34Tenny, when you've removed your foot.
40:37I beg your pardon, Miss.
40:38Would you mind telling me what Colonel Nilsson is getting him out of?
40:41Well...
40:42Jail, if I know Hugh Drummond.
40:44How did you guess?
40:45Tenny, is Captain Drummond in jail?
40:48Well, look.
40:49You see, there...
40:50There has been a little misunderstanding, Miss.
40:53Just a temporary guest.
40:55Nothing serious.
40:56Bravo.
40:57Hugh Drummond adds another jail to his collection.
41:00Poor Hugh, he needs me.
41:02Well, where are you going?
41:04To the jail.
41:05Oh, Phyllis, I forgot.
41:06The radio.
41:07Where is it?
41:08I'll blast.
41:09The radio.
41:10The one that came from London.
41:11Where is it?
41:12Oh, that?
41:13It is gone.
41:14Gone?
41:15Yes, my guest on took it to the jail.
41:16Do they take everything to the jail?
41:17He'll fix him.
41:18Fix it.
41:19Fix it.
41:20Oh, he's probably got it all apart.
41:21Operating on it.
41:22We'll go, sir.
41:23Hold the time down.
41:29This English.
41:30Oh, mad.
41:35You tell me there's nothing really criminal about this young man, this Captain Drummond?
41:40Nothing, monsieur.
41:41In fact, he's been of considerable assistance the Scotland Yard in many cases.
41:44Then why?
41:45Because I want to teach him a lesson.
41:47In behalf of a beautiful young lady who expects to marry him.
41:50Ah, a lady?
41:51Here, monsieur, here in your most beautiful village,
41:55she hopes to marry him tonight.
41:57It is not too cruel, this lesson of yours,
42:00to ask me to keep the bridegroom in jail
42:03while the young lady waits, perhaps weeping.
42:07That's just the point, monsieur.
42:11Many of the time, he's kept out waiting, monsieur.
42:15Weeping and waiting, even at the church.
42:18The monsters.
42:20Two monsters, monsieur.
42:22Bless you.
42:24Why?
42:25Why should he see a crime committed?
42:29Even the last moment, he'll forget all about his fiancรฉe, monsieur,
42:32go chasing her about the criminal.
42:35Ah.
42:36And it is to prevent such a thing this time
42:40that you ask me to keep him a prisoner.
42:43You said it.
42:44This time, I assure you, as mayor of Targemone,
42:47I will see that the beautiful lady is not disappointed.
42:50This heartless Captain Drummond will be forced to keep his vows.
42:55I, Jean-Philippe Louis-Napoleon Duprรฉ, mayor of Targemone,
42:59I will see that they marry.
43:01Splendid, monsieur Lemaire.
43:03It will be an honor for both.
43:08Phyllis.
43:09Where's Hugh?
43:10He's perfectly safe, my dear.
43:11The mayor has promised to see that you're married.
43:13Ah, mademoiselle, you have come for Captain Drummond.
43:16He's here in Targemone's impregnable jail.
43:18Believe me, Seth, for you.
43:20Never again shall mademoiselle weep for her truant lover.
43:23You shall be married here at once.
43:26Here in jail?
43:27It's the only way you'll ever get him.
43:29That face is right, my dear.
43:30There will be no failure this time.
43:32He is my prisoner.
43:33I release him only when he is your prisoner for life.
43:37This gentleman will act as witness.
43:40Attention!
43:41The court civil, summon the clock of the court.
43:44Order a guard of honor.
43:51Now look here, my men.
43:52There's been a mistake.
43:53I've got to get out of here.
43:55You'll pay for this, all of you, do you hear?
43:57Don't take it so hard, Mr. Boyd.
43:59Look what's here.
44:00Didn't I tell you Mr. Armages wouldn't forget me?
44:03Well, thank you.
44:04Oh, it's a pleasure to share with you, Mr. Boyd.
44:08Hello?
44:09Oh, excuse me.
44:14Oh, excuse me.
44:23News from home?
44:24News?
44:25That's half.
44:33Mr. Armages says you should all swallow messages.
44:35Oh, yes.
44:36I believe it's the accepted practice everywhere.
44:37We must hurry.
44:38We've got to get out of here.
44:39We?
44:40I wouldn't leave you behind, Mr. Boyd.
44:43At the risk of disturbing your admiration for my talents,
44:46I must confess I don't quite see how...
44:48You will.
44:49We've got a big job for tonight.
44:51We're going to get a fortune and blast every witness
44:53out of this world all at once.
44:55A bomb, eh?
44:56Half a dozen bombs planted where nobody suspects.
44:59Then?
45:00Yes, but I don't see how you expect to keep your appointment with Mr. Armages.
45:03I'll show you.
45:15Isn't that something?
45:17Set the catch.
45:18Press this.
45:19And bingo.
45:20Amazing.
45:21And that's how I robbed the London and Southminster bank, eh?
45:22Right.
45:23Nobody would think of looking for a bomb in one of these strict wine bottles.
45:26I guess those people would be surprised tonight, eh?
45:28Well, someone's due for a surprise.
45:29Tell me, how are you planning to get out of here?
45:31Just watch.
45:32We are both getting out of here.
45:33Right now.
45:34This'll want to do it.
45:35Looks rather small but it's a distribute.
45:36Tell me, how are you planning to get out of here?
45:39Just watch.
45:41We are both getting out of here, right now.
46:01This will want to do it.
46:03Looks rather small, but there's a strong wall.
46:05You wait.
46:06It's made so you can direct the explosion outward.
46:11Hey, son, we must not keep the lady waiting.
46:14Oh, certainly not, Mr. Le Maire.
46:16Is the guard ready?
46:17Oui, all ready.
46:21All right, what's up?
46:22Let us go.
46:23This is a great day for Targemont.
46:25Yes, sir.
46:31Let us go to the prisoner.
46:33All we have to do is to set the timer.
46:40That will give us time to pack it between those stones.
46:44Give me a coat, sir.
46:45Folks, this will be a joke on the maire.
46:58I hope we'll be in a condition to enjoy it.
46:59We'll never leave you here.
47:18We'll never leave.
47:19I don't love this.
47:22I'm in a beautiful jail.
47:26You!
47:28Rascal!
47:29Oh, Phyllis!
47:30Stop him!
47:31Catch the Rascal!
47:32Don't let him escape!
47:33Cover him!
47:41Oh, Phyllis, he'd only waited a minute longer.
47:44Oh, Phyllis, what does it take to convince you
47:47that he really doesn't want to get married?
47:50Get him!
47:51We have him!
47:52We have him!
47:53We have him!
47:54We have him!
47:55Get him!
47:56Get him!
47:57Get him!
47:58Get him!
47:59Get him!
48:00Get him!
48:01Get him!
48:02Bravo!
48:03Bravo!
48:04We'll get to my office.
48:05We'll marry him dead or alive.
48:07Bravo!
48:08Let me go, please.
48:10Behold, we have him saved.
48:12Oh, you.
48:14One would almost believe immensely.
48:16It's like Wiley Iron's heart, Monsieur.
48:18I will.
48:19Attention!
48:20Captain Drummond, you cannot escape again.
48:23My men surround you.
48:24You are to be married here now, this instant.
48:27Gladly, Monsieur, but first...
48:28There's no first, Monsieur.
48:30You cannot desert this beautiful young lady again.
48:33For shame, Monsieur, to even think of it.
48:35Yes, you're perfectly right, Monsieur.
48:36I'd be a fiend.
48:37But first, there's a radio of such importance that even...
48:38A little of you, don't you, Roger?
48:39That's quite all right.
48:40We're told, sir, the radio is quite safe here in the jail.
48:43What on earth are you talking about?
48:45Phyllis, is that right?
48:46That radio I sent you from London, is it here?
48:48Well, Gaston took it for evidence.
48:50Have enough here, Monsieur.
48:51I have it.
48:52It's in there.
48:53Well, splendid.
48:54Phyllis, in that case, will you be an adorable, sweet, lovely little lady...
48:57...and let Monsieur Dupre marry us?
48:59It's the nearest we've got to it yet.
49:01Carry on, Monsieur.
49:02You mean you are prepared to surrender?
49:04Unconditionally.
49:05We await your benediction.
49:07Clerk of the court.
49:08Here, Monsieur Le Maire.
49:09Prepare to read the marriage act.
49:12Le contrat de mariage est datรฉ du 25 aoรปt.
49:16In conformity with the law, I am going to read Chapter 6 of Book 1 of the Civil Code.
49:21While I am reading, everybody is requested to stand up.
49:24Monsieur Le Maire, everybody is standing up.
49:26Oh, I beg your pardon.
49:28The married couple owe each other fidelity, help, and assistance.
49:34The husband must protect his wife.
49:37The wife must obey her husband.
49:39The husband is obliged to supply all the necessary means of living according to his possibility.
49:48What was that?
49:49Oh, my uncle!
49:51Stop him!
49:53Stop him!
50:03After him, the final assault!
50:05After him!
50:06He's working for the cavalry.
50:08Bring him to my office.
50:10We'll marry him dead or alive!
50:23You!
50:24Come back!
50:25You!
50:40You!
50:41Don't worry, dear.
50:42He's enjoying himself.
50:51You!
50:52Don't stand there doing nothing.
50:53Help him!
50:54You shall not escape.
50:55Come with me.
50:56We'll marry him dead or alive!
50:57Please, freeze it, that man!
50:59Oh!
51:00Oh!
51:01Oh!
51:02Oh!
51:03Oh!
51:04Oh!
51:05Oh!
51:06Oh!
51:07Oh!
51:08Oh!
51:09Oh!
51:10Oh!
51:11Oh!
51:12Oh!
51:13Oh!
51:15Oh!
51:16Oh!
51:17Oh!
51:18Oh!
51:19Oh!
51:20Oh!
51:21Oh!
51:22Oh!
51:23Oh!
51:41Oh!
51:42Help! Help! Help!
51:47Oh, Daddy! Daddy!
52:12You! You!
52:14You! You!
52:16You! You!
52:18You! You!
52:22You!
52:24You! You!
52:26You! You!
52:28A monster of a man.
52:30So you tried to escape the brave, did you?
52:32But the man's a murderer.
52:34And what are you, scoundrel, that you tried to escape a beautiful woman?
52:36I have seen it with my own eyes.
52:38Hold him, Mesophon.
52:40We will resume the wedding service.
52:42Do you, you see the woman?
52:44Take this woman, please.
52:54Captain Drummond!
52:56The radio, sir!
53:12Hello, old man!
53:14Hello!
53:15Are you all right, sir?
53:16I say, Hugh!
53:18Hugh, old boy!
53:19What's this about?
53:20Don't be a fool, Hugh!
53:22Stay here and get married!
53:23That's Armides, the bank robber.
53:24What?
53:25Come on!
53:40Opposition.
53:41In the name of the loan.
53:42Oh, never mind that now.
53:43Audio men to find Armides.
53:44The service will proceed.
53:45And the man's a robber!
53:46A murderer!
53:47Silence, Monsieur!
53:48Do not interfere!
53:49We began this ceremony in the jail, but we'll finish it in your own home.
53:52Come on!
53:53But, Madame!
53:54I'm her nearest relative.
53:55Do as I say, or I withdraw my consent to the ceremony.
53:59All right.
54:00Very well, Madame.
54:01Allons.
54:10Now, Monsieur, this time we finish.
54:12Put in there.
54:13Mademoiselle, s'il vous plaรฎt.
54:15Nada.
54:16Les gardes de la force.
54:18Monsieur le maire.
54:19Monsieur le maire.
54:21Attention!
54:22We proceed.
54:24In the name of the law,
54:25I declare you see Drummond
54:27and Phyllis Clavering bound by Murray.
54:30Hooray!
54:31Hooray!
54:32Hooray!
54:33Kenny!
54:34They've done it at last.
54:35Thank you, Colonel.
54:36May I remind you, sir?
54:37Oh, yes.
54:39What's that thing?
54:40End of the trail, Colonel.
54:44Good heavens!
54:45The Londoner South missed the bank money.
54:47Exactly.
54:48Now, we are going to dream to the health and happiness
54:58of Mr. and Mrs.
54:59What do you call those?
55:00Oh, Bulldog Drummond.
55:03Tulane!
55:04You're married!
55:05Well, darling, you all right?
55:06Yes.
55:07Well, we're rarely married, huh?
55:08A quiet wedding with a few intimate friends.
55:09Won't Aldergett be sunk when he finds out?
55:10Well, there isn't any Aldergett.
55:11I made him up.
55:12You what?
55:13I made him up to make you jealous.
55:14Well, I'll be hanged.
55:15Have a drink, old boy.
55:16Have a drink, old boy.
55:46Have a drink.
55:48How do you call him?
55:49In color, oh.
55:50Must be fun.
55:51Go ahead.
55:52Okay.
55:54Okay.
55:55Rain risters,
55:58Moon Zoom,
55:59tell me that you'll have a reality to the crisis.
56:01Just take a moment,
56:04see?
56:05Energy must be battle.
56:07All this wrestling stuff's been along.
56:09I did not anymore.
56:11Let's begin.
56:12That war.
