04:29Tell His Excellency I just read the news
04:35Explain that I think my place is home with my own people
04:37If it can be arranged
04:39The general agrees that even though we can't afford to lose
05:09He will send you a personal decision to do with my own people
05:09He will send your official discharge to your quarters tonight
05:12Tell His Excellency how grateful I am
05:14It is not necessary my son
05:17It is for me to thank you for all you have done for myself
05:20And for my people
05:22Thank you sir
05:23Come in
05:30Come in
05:42Oh, hello, Wayne.
05:44Kind of figured it'd be you,
05:46finding it a little harder to pull out than you expected.
05:48Yeah.
05:50Sort of seems as though half of me belongs here with your people.
05:52I know, because half of me belongs over there,
05:54with your people.
05:56Let's cut it out way before I change my mind.
05:58Won't you bring my discharge?
06:00Mm-hmm.
06:02Here's, uh, a little something to do.
06:04I'm sorry.
06:06I'm sorry.
06:08I'm sorry.
06:10Here's a little something to remember us by.
06:14It was my brother's.
06:16Thanks, Wayne.
06:18Ah, before you know it, we'll both be laughing this whole mess off.
06:22Probably back in the States somewhere,
06:24putting a couple of crates through their paces
06:26at some broken-down county fair.
06:28It will be a long time before the Chinese
06:30will be able to laugh off what has happened.
06:32The needless misery, the slaughter, the barbarism.
06:36Yeah, I know.
06:38I could travel no further, Martin's son.
06:42Why, it's Ram Lau.
06:43You know him?
06:44Well, sure.
06:45It's Tommy Thompson's number one boy.
06:46Come on, help me get him over to the bed.
06:47Yeah, he and Tommy disappeared a couple of months ago.
06:48No one's heard from him since.
06:50Better get some water.
06:52This poor old boy's really been through the mill.
06:54Wonder what happened to Tommy.
06:56All right, I think he's coming too now.
06:57I wonder what happened to Tommy.
06:58All right, I think he's coming too now.
06:59I wonder what happened to Tommy.
07:01All right, I think he's coming too now.
07:02I'm sorry, Sahid.
07:03I'm sorry, Sahid.
07:04I don't know what happened to Tommy.
07:05All right, I think he's coming too now.
07:07I'm sorry, Sahid.
07:08After a moment's rest, I shall be going.
07:15Oh, not tonight.
07:16You're not in any shape to travel.
07:17I'm sorry, Sahid.
07:27I'm sorry, Sahid.
07:28After a moment's rest, I shall be going.
07:30After a moment's rest, I shall be going.
07:34Oh, not tonight.
07:35You're not in any shape to travel.
07:37I must.
07:39I have a message from Thompson's side for his sister.
07:43Important.
07:44No, no, no.
07:45You just lie there and rest.
07:46I'll find Miss Thompson.
07:48Wait.
07:49Try and get some food into him.
07:51Clear broth, I think, would be the best.
07:53And take care of those wounds.
07:54Right, Jack.
07:57I'll be back in a half an hour with Miss Thompson.
07:59With Miss Thompson.
08:07I must apologize for my tea service.
08:09For the recent bombings have played havoc with my chinaware.
08:12You're lucky.
08:13I haven't any left at all.
08:15You know, I don't understand your brother leaving you here alone
08:19while he runs around the country on his own.
08:21Well, I don't mind really.
08:24It's not as dangerous as most people believe.
08:26For my brother, when he gets off on one of his exploring expeditions,
08:29I doubt whether he even knows there's a war going on.
08:41Hey, guys.
08:43Is Miss Thompson at home?
08:53Why, Jack, how nice.
08:55Hello, Janet.
08:56Miss Miller, you know Captain Martin, I believe.
08:58Well, not in person.
08:59But I have written up a number of his exploits in the air service.
09:02Oh, then you must be the Miss Miller of the syndicated press.
09:04How do you do?
09:05Now, how about some tea?
09:06Tea?
09:07Oh, no.
09:08No, thanks.
09:09I really came here, Janet, to take you away for a while.
09:10If Miss Miller will excuse you.
09:11Before we've finished our tea, don't be silly.
09:12Janet, this is important.
09:13Ramlal's at my house, too weak to come here.
09:14Ramlal?
09:15Back from Andon.
09:16Is my brother with him?
09:17No, but he brought a message from him.
09:18Just a moment, I'll get a rap.
09:19If you'll excuse me, Trudy, I'll...
09:20Of course, run along.
09:21I'll finish my job, Trudy.
09:22I'll do it.
09:23I'll do it.
09:24I'll do it.
09:25I'll do it.
09:26I'll do it.
09:27I'll do it.
09:28I'll do it.
09:29I'll do it.
09:30Just a moment, I'll get a rap.
09:31If you'll excuse me, Trudy, I'll...
09:32Of course, run along.
09:34I'll finish my tea and have the maid call a rickshaw.
09:37Sorry to break in this way, Miss Miller, but really it's...
09:39Don't give it a thought.
09:40I understand perfectly.
09:41Thanks.
09:42If there's anything I can do to help, don't forget to call on me.
09:45Thanks, Trudy.
09:46Good night.
09:47Good night.
09:48Good night.
09:49I ought to tell you what's the back of all this.
09:52Well, don't unless you think I ought to know.
09:54I do.
09:55Tommy said if things went wrong, I should tell you.
09:57I should tell you if they have.
09:59Hola.
10:08Hito.
10:09Yes.
10:10Gung kui da hai.
10:11Mo gang.
10:12Da dok jai.
10:27Chessa, look at me.
10:32Chessa, let's go to the room.
10:34My thanks.
10:49Wait, mate.
10:57To make things clear, I ought to tell you that Tom is in the Australian Intelligence Service.
11:10I suspected as much, but I wasn't sure.
11:13Well, he is.
11:14Ramla is in the Hindu service.
11:16Two months ago, they left on the most dangerous assignment they'd ever tackled.
11:20Oh?
11:21What was it?
11:23Ever hear the place called Mandan?
11:25Yes.
11:26Yes, it's a little isolated province against the Himalaya Mountains.
11:29Why?
11:30Well, Ramla unearthed an old legend about Mandan.
11:33The story is that there's a secret route through the mountains from China to India.
11:37Secret route to India?
11:40That would give China another lifeline.
11:42Exactly.
11:43Yeah, but what if the Japs found out about that road and got control of it?
11:47Wouldn't they march straight through to India?
11:48Certainly.
11:49That's why Tommy and Ramla flew into Mandan, in order to beat them to it.
11:53Boy, oh boy, they've really been playing with dynamite.
12:09Well, thank you.
12:10Linsen.
12:23Linsen.
12:23Linsen.
12:23Linsen.
12:23Linsen.
12:40I had begun to think you had forgotten the path through my humble door.
12:44It might have been better for you if I had.
12:47I may have to report that you have failed your country,
12:50and the Black Samurai.
12:52So, in what way may I ask?
12:55Have I not urged you to send agents to Mandan
12:57to find their secret route to India?
12:59And have I not explained that agents
13:01could accomplish nothing against that wild mountain tribe?
13:04Yes.
13:06When Japan gets ready to invade India,
13:08we shall send an army into Mandan and force the secret from them.
13:10Not if our enemies get control of it first.
13:12Our enemies do not even know there is such a route.
13:14The British do.
13:16Why do you think the British know?
13:18When Thompson and Ramlal left Chongqing last month,
13:20they went to Mandan, as I suspected.
13:22There's no harm done.
13:24They're foreigners.
13:25They'll never reach Mandan alive.
13:27But they do.
13:28They do.
13:29They do.
13:30They do.
13:31They do.
13:32They do.
13:33They do.
13:34They'll never reach Mandan alive.
13:36But they did reach Mandan.
13:37The Hindu returned here tonight.
13:39Do you know whether they learned the way to the road itself?
13:41If they have,
13:42the Black Samurai will demand your life, Kageyama.
13:48I'll have a report on it within the hour.
14:04I came as soon as I heard, Ramlal.
14:18Food and rest are all I need, Man Sahib.
14:22Jack says you have word of my brother.
14:25Is he well?
14:26He is in Mandan, a prisoner and wounded.
14:30I escaped and came out to send him help.
14:33Tommy will get help, all right.
14:35We have to fly it to him ourselves.
14:37Is he still, is he hurt?
14:39That I do not know.
14:41I have been six weeks returning.
14:46May I speak freely before your friends?
14:49Yes, Ramlal.
14:52We learned part of what we went after.
14:55The legend is true.
14:57There is a secret route to India.
15:00Did you find the route itself?
15:02No, Mam Sahib.
15:04It was when they learned what we were after
15:07that they imprisoned us.
15:09Gee, it sounds as if those Mandanese are as tough as I heard they were.
15:12They want no traffic with the world.
15:14That is why they are keeping the route to India secret.
15:17Only two living men know where it lies.
15:21Who are they?
15:22Maybe they will tell the secret to save China.
15:24After all, they are Chinese.
15:26They are men of great trust.
15:29One of them is the...
15:44the US$1.
16:00The US$1.
16:03The US$2.
16:04The US$1.
16:06The US$2.
16:08I don't think he's badly hurt.
16:11If we can only...
16:13Hey, William, look at this.
16:14The sign of the Black Samurai.
16:16The first member we've ever taken alive.
16:18The Black Samurai?
16:19What's that?
16:20An espionage ring of Japanese nobles.
16:22Controlled by the most dangerous spy in the Orient.
16:24Yeah, what's his name?
16:25It's not a man.
16:26It's a woman called Fräulein von Teufel.
16:28Fräulein von Teufel?
16:29Why, that's German.
16:30We don't know her.
16:31All we know is that she is ruthless,
16:33even when she is a man.
16:35If one of them fails, the penalty is Harakiri.
16:37We'd better have these men take him to headquarters.
16:38Maybe we can make them talk.
16:39We can try, but there's not much chance.
16:41Harakiri.
16:42That's why we never take any of them alive.
16:44We've got to report this to the general.
16:46It's getting pretty late, Jack.
16:47We'd better wait till morning.
16:48We can't afford to wait.
16:49Why, the spy that killed Ram Lau
16:50probably heard everything he said
16:51about the secret of the United States.
16:52What did he say to you?
16:53What did he say to you?
16:54What did he say to you?
16:55What did he say to you?
16:56What did he say to you?
16:57What did he say to you?
16:58What did he say to you?
16:59What did he say to you?
17:00What did he say to you?
17:01We can't afford to wait.
17:02Why, the spy that killed Ram Lau
17:03probably heard everything he said
17:04about the secret route to India.
17:06Yes, I suppose he must have.
17:07Of course he did.
17:08If I know anything about the Japs,
17:10they won't wait.
17:11They'll have men on the way to Madden
17:12within a few hours.
17:13Toi go, Willa.
17:16It was as you suspected, Fräulein van Teufel.
17:18Ram Lau and Thompson did go to Madden.
17:21Did they find out about the secret route to India?
17:23Only that there is such a route.
17:25They could not locate the entrance.
17:27Then they know no more than we do.
17:29Not quite as much, Fräulein.
17:30I killed Ram Lau
17:32before he could name the two men
17:33who know how to reach it.
17:34Good.
17:35There's other news.
17:37That is not good.
17:39What is it?
17:40Yagashi was arrested helping me escape.
17:43The Chinese will recognize the sign of a black samurai.
17:45And act at once to get the man in secret
17:47ahead of the Japanese.
17:48We must act first.
17:52Contact our army headquarters.
17:55Contact no one.
17:56We must not trust this message to the air.
17:58It might be intercepted.
18:00Slip down river to our lines.
18:01Make a full report and have them send a plane to Madden at once.
18:04Not one plane.
18:05Fifty at least.
18:06Kajama seems to forget.
18:07It is I who give orders here.
18:09It is the Fräulein who forgets.
18:11The black samurai is Japanese.
18:13It is a division of Axis espionage
18:15and takes its orders from Berlin through me.
18:17Send five men to Madden.
18:19Let them pretend to be Chinese on a peaceful mission.
18:22They are to get the secret.
18:24Or bring back the governor a prisoner.
18:26Of course we will send help in to your brother.
18:29Thank you, sir.
18:30We must also get the secret of the man done route.
18:33It is vital.
18:34I'd like to volunteer to lead the squadron in, Your Excellency.
18:35There will be no squadron.
18:36Only one plane.
18:37A private one.
18:38But, Your Excellency, one plane can't do much.
18:41But, Your Excellency, one plane can't do much.
18:48Men down is far from the seat of war.
18:50But they are Chinese.
18:51I would not question their loyalty by threat of force.
18:54Well, they may
19:09not remain a threat of force.
19:10Captain Wing, you will go as special envoy to act for China.
19:14Suggest the governor pay me an official visit.
19:18The airplane will be ready to leave Suchong Airport at dawn tomorrow.
19:23But, Your Excellency, the Japs are bound to send in some troops.
19:26You must reach Mandan first and avoid the Japanese on the way back.
19:32Yes, sir.
19:33Now I have letters to prepare.
19:35Wing, I'll meet you at the airport.
19:37Right.
19:39Hello.
19:43Who are you?
19:44Up in ward your service.
19:45Where's Captain Wing?
19:46Regret to say the general changed plans.
19:48Send me a substitute for Captain Wing.
19:51You have the general's name.
19:53I'm sorry.
19:54I'm sorry.
19:55I'm sorry.
19:56I'm sorry.
19:57I'm sorry.
19:58I'm sorry.
19:59I'm sorry.
20:00I'm sorry.
20:01I'm sorry.
20:02I'm sorry.
20:03I'm sorry.
20:04I'm sorry.
20:05I'm sorry.
20:06I'm sorry.
20:07I'm sorry.
20:08You have the general's letters, I suppose.
20:10And here.
20:11If you care to inspect them.
20:12No, if you have them, that's all that's necessary.
20:14Well, I guess we'd better shove off.
20:16呼吸 on.
20:17What is it?
20:18My God.
20:19That's all.
20:20I'll wait.
20:21I'll wait.
20:22That's all right.
20:23Good.
20:24You're right.
20:25All right, Ty.
20:26You're right.
20:27Good.
20:28Go.
20:29Good, Ty.
20:30By the way, Ty.
20:31Good.
20:32Good.
20:34Good.
20:35Come on, Ty.
20:36I think I take controls now.
20:39No thanks, I'm enjoying it.
20:42I say I take controls now.
20:45You better do what you think, Jeff.
20:47You're a very intelligent young lady.
20:49Please take over while Captain Bell is out.
21:06Never mind shoot.
21:10You wouldn't need it.
21:12Open door.
21:15Wiggly.
21:16I haven't all day.
21:18Well then, I'll be in front of you.
21:20You're out there.
21:21Try it.
21:22I'll take them out on the mineak way.
21:48I don't know what to do with it, but I don't know what to do with it.
22:06Clever people, these Japanese.
22:08But they ought to learn pig Latin.
22:18You have been chosen because you can all pass for Chinese.
22:26Captain Yoshoto will be in charge.
22:28Koshimi will act as envoy.
22:30Pretend to be on a peaceful mission,
22:32but bring back demand on secret
22:34if you have to kill the entire governor's staff.
22:48They gave us no orders what to do if the Chinese are in Mandan ahead of us.
23:06They won't be.
23:08Kageyama promised.
23:10Kageyama never fails.
23:18The downdrafts out of these canyons must be terrific.
23:32They are.
23:33Better put your chute on.
23:45Any idea how far we are from Mandan?
23:47Well, if my reckoning is right, we're almost there.
24:13Jeff, I smell smoke.
24:15Yeah, I've been noticing it, too.
24:23Take over, Janet.
24:34Safety automatic pilots, bail out, Janet.
24:36I'll try and get the jack.
24:45It's no use, Jack.
24:46You can't help him.
24:47Bail out!
25:06And I can get you there.
25:07I can give you three parents.
25:08Yeah, I can speak to that.
25:09I'm gonna get you there.
25:10And I can vote for you.
