07:42Good.
07:43We want to question those men.
07:45Mr. Gregory's test proved him sane.
07:47They're crooks.
07:48Hold them, will you please?
07:50Thanks.
07:51I'll be there.
08:07Now, Mr. Green, you're going to tell us the truth about that bill of sale.
08:12You can't make me talk.
08:18Don't you think you'd better talk?
08:21I...
08:22I told you the truth last night.
08:24Danby and I bought the rights from a mechanic named Kelly.
08:28Frederick P. Kelly.
08:30Can you produce this Kelly to back up your statement?
08:33I don't know where he is.
08:36But I know where he is.
08:38He's in jail for murdering Clark.
08:40Great.
08:41That simplifies everything.
08:43Phone Gregory and tell him to meet you and Green at the police station and I'll get more on boil.
08:48We'll have a final showdown.
08:50Go on.
08:51Get back.
08:55We've convinced Gregory that we're the rightful owners of the invention.
08:58I'm not so sure of that.
08:59You know, Gregory was here when the bill of sale was stolen.
09:03Has it ever occurred to you that Gregory might have taken it to destroy our proof of rightful ownership?
09:10Nonsense.
09:11We've heard the last of Gregory.
09:12The last of Gregory.
09:13Look.
09:14That's Gregory's answer.
09:15What can we do against this man?
09:16A thousand threats written by a thousand planes.
09:17And those threats have always been followed by death.
09:18I'm through.
09:19So am I.
09:20Why are you cowards?
09:21Quitters.
09:22I'm going to carry on this fight if I have to do it all by myself.
09:23Go ahead.
09:24I'm getting out of here.
09:25All right.
09:26I'll take over here.
09:27You're not out of here.
09:28You're in the middle.
09:29You're not out of here.
09:30You're not out of here.
09:31You're out of here.
09:32I know what he's done.
09:33You're out of here.
09:34That's broken.
09:35I'm out of here...
09:36You're dead.
09:37Maybe guys will take the long run out of here?
09:39You're dead.
09:40I'm going to carry on this fight if I have to do it all by myself.
09:44Go ahead.
09:45I'm getting out of here.
09:46All right.
09:47I'll take over your shares in this company,
09:50if you're willing to let them go at my price.
09:54What do you mean, your price?
09:57We're going to police headquarters,
09:59and don't try any monkey business on the way.
10:02I'll have a gun in my pocket covering you.
10:04Come on.
10:10Daddy!
10:12Craig's safe.
10:14How do you know?
10:15Henry just phoned.
10:16Craig wants us to meet him at police headquarters right away.
10:19Police headquarters?
10:20Yes.
10:21They've got the eagle.
10:40You've got him.
10:43Nice man.
10:46I'll never be here, sir.
10:48O' its.
10:49Caught him.
10:52I'll never be at the instant.
10:55One last night,
10:56I'll never leave him alone alone.
11:03Get those soldiers out there,
11:04and we're going to take off your house.
11:09We hear you've got Gregory back again.
11:11Gregory?
11:12Oh, yes.
11:13You're the gentleman who brought him here.
11:15If you'll wait just a moment, I'll let you see him.
11:18Oh, yes.
11:19Oh, yes.
11:20You're the gentleman who brought him here.
11:22If you'll wait just a moment, I'll let you see him.
11:39Grandpa, boy!
11:41No, you don't.
11:43Line up against that wall.
11:59And don't even stick your head out that door.
12:01You hear that motor pull out.
12:09Let's go.
12:30We'd better take him along.
12:32Never mind him.
12:34We've got to run for it.
12:36Don't let him get away.
12:50Cut that gun.
13:06Don't let him get away.
13:36Get in the front seat, Moor.
13:41All right, to police headquarters, Moor, and don't spare this car.
13:59Where's Craig?
14:00He'll be along pretty soon.
14:01What's this all about, Henry?
14:03This is the Eagle.
14:05The Eagle?
14:07We want to talk to Pat Kelly, and in the presence of witnesses.
14:11Well, I don't think there's any objection to that.
14:14Donald?
14:16Go with him.
14:25Why, Gene!
14:26Skipper Henry!
14:27Why, seems like the whole car of us come over here to see me.
14:30Say, what's he doing here?
14:32Or what's this all about?
14:34Oh, just a little matter of business, Pat.
14:36Is this the man, Mr. Green?
14:43Yes.
14:44That's the man who sold me the invention.
14:47Well, what are you saying?
14:49That Kelly, my old friend stole my invention?
14:52I can't believe it.
14:53Why, it's a lie.
14:54I don't know anything about it.
14:55Kelly, you know you signed the bill of sale for the plans.
15:01Well, where is this bill of sale you're talking about?
15:04Show me my signature.
15:07I told you he was lying.
15:08He hasn't got anything to back it up.
15:10I don't know.
15:11Oh, Skipper.
15:12Why should I steal your plans?
15:15You've always been my best friend.
15:17Pat, are you sure you're telling the truth?
15:25My father's whole future depends on what you tell now, Pat.
15:29I don't know.
15:32All right.
15:34I'll tell everything I know.
15:37I did sell the plans to Green.
15:40What?
15:42There was another man who knew about it.
15:44And he, and he's been trying to cash in on it.
15:47Who was it, Kelly?
15:49Speak up, Pat.
15:50You've got to tell us.
15:58I'm signing my own death warrant.
16:02But I'll tell for you, Skipper.
16:06The man is...
