00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00I tell you, sir, you can't make it. The fog so thick down here, you can slice it.
00:01:22But I kind of float around in this hoop like an oyster. Catch off those players, will you?
00:01:26It looks awfully bad. He can't make it. Is he going to try it? Well, he's crazy if he does.
00:01:33He's crazy, all right. I disagree with you, sir. But he'll try it anyhow.
00:01:41He can't cut his way through this. Cut his way through the Borneo jungle to rescue Tillens, didn't he?
00:01:45That's not London Falls.
00:01:50He hasn't a chance, sir. Even with players. Will you please touch them off?
00:01:55You'll crack up, sir. Players or no players, I'm coming down.
00:02:03He's coming down. Touch him off.
00:02:05They'll drop your feet, boys.
00:02:27Oh, Jack, take care of my ship, will you?
00:02:52Not you, aren't you?
00:02:53No, nothing to declare, you can check.
00:02:54Very good, sir.
00:02:55But, Kenny, how are you?
00:02:56We're running again.
00:02:57Good to see you, sir.
00:02:58Where's my car?
00:02:58We'll be there.
00:02:59Good.
00:02:59Now, get a taxi and take my bags home to Rockingham Lodge.
00:03:01I'll be along later.
00:03:03Captain Drummond?
00:03:03Yes, what?
00:03:04Wait a minute, sir.
00:03:05Captain Drummond, can't I just...
00:03:07Oh, please, sorry, boys.
00:03:08We're having a great time.
00:03:08Just a couple of questions.
00:03:09Oh, no, no.
00:03:10This is the same, Captain, have you?
00:03:10Come on.
00:03:11Come on.
00:03:11There you are.
00:03:14There you are.
00:03:18Is he always like that?
00:03:20Captain Drummond is a very dynamic person, sir.
00:03:23What's all the excitement?
00:03:24You think it was a matter of life and death?
00:03:26It is rather like that, sir.
00:03:27He has a friend in the hospital.
00:03:34How is he?
00:03:35He pulled through.
00:03:36It's all right if I see him.
00:03:38I think so.
00:03:42Come in.
00:03:43What's the matter, Algie?
00:03:51Hugh, Hugh.
00:03:52What is it, Algie?
00:03:53Gwen.
00:03:54Yes, yes.
00:03:55Yes.
00:03:57Yes, you see, I...
00:03:59We...
00:04:00I'm going to become a father.
00:04:06No.
00:04:06Well, just buck up, old fellow.
00:04:11Buck up.
00:04:12Millions of fathers have pulled through this.
00:04:14Millions of them.
00:04:15It's all so strange.
00:04:16Yeah, I know.
00:04:17I know.
00:04:18It isn't as if I've been a father before.
00:04:21This is my very first.
00:04:24I thought I'd like to have you around, you know, just for old times' sake.
00:04:28Oh, of course, old boy.
00:04:29One for all, all for one.
00:04:32Damon and Pythias.
00:04:33Yes, that's right.
00:04:37Hello?
00:04:39Who?
00:04:40Colonel Nielsen.
00:04:42Colonel Nielsen for me.
00:04:43Yes, I know.
00:04:44I told him you were coming.
00:04:45Oh, that's how he knew.
00:04:48Ah, Inspector.
00:04:49Now, look here, Master Hughie Drummond.
00:04:51I've known you for ten years.
00:04:53And for ten years I have pleaded with you not to call me Inspector.
00:04:58Right you are, Colonel.
00:04:59It'll never happen again.
00:05:00And what might you be doing in England?
00:05:03Well, what are you up to this time?
00:05:05Well, Colonel, a fatherhood is a sacred institution.
00:05:08A fatherhood?
00:05:09But you're not married.
00:05:11No, but Al she is.
00:05:13Is it a crime that I come home to help him have his baby?
00:05:16No, no, no.
00:05:17Of course not.
00:05:17Well, but you'll find a crime or invent one before the night's over.
00:05:23Oh, I want to see you.
00:05:25Oh, never mind about what.
00:05:26You'll find out when you get down here.
00:05:29No, no, no.
00:05:29I had your place at Rockingham Lodge.
00:05:32Right you are, Colonel.
00:05:39I'm in London less than an hour, Algie, and Commissioner Nielsen wants to see me.
00:05:44Well, now that you're going to pull through, all right,
00:05:47let us consider why he might want to see me.
00:05:49A typical crime he wants us to solve, perhaps.
00:05:55That's it, Algie.
00:05:57By joke, I'll wager that's it.
00:05:58Let's go.
00:05:59Oh, but you.
00:06:00Imagine it, Algie.
00:06:01Just imagine.
00:06:02You are together again, as always.
00:06:04Oh, I can see us now, faring forth into the fog-drenched night, finding adventure.
00:06:10You fell through this bored and jaded mind.
00:06:13Come on.
00:06:14Oh, but you.
00:06:15Come on, Harry.
00:06:15We haven't a moment.
00:06:16It moves.
00:06:16It's 40 miles.
00:06:17But you, I'm about to become a father.
00:06:20Oh.
00:06:20Oh, yes, I'd forgotten.
00:06:22Of course, if I thought there was any danger.
00:06:24What?
00:06:25Deserve when duty calls?
00:06:26No.
00:06:27Your place is here.
00:06:30No, old friend.
00:06:31Goodbye.
00:06:33But you.
00:06:34No, Algie.
00:06:35Stay here.
00:06:36Have your baby.
00:06:38Oh, give my love to Gwen, won't you?
00:06:41She'll see you through.
00:06:47Are you all right?
00:07:08Help!
00:07:29Help!

00:12:03In prison?
00:12:04Yes, sir.
00:12:05To Miss Clavering?
00:12:06No, sir.
00:12:07Then to whom, Danny?
00:12:09To whom?
00:12:10Do I have to cross-examine you every time I want to find out something?
00:12:13It helps, sir.
00:12:15Very well.
00:12:16To whom?
00:12:17To one of the gentleman, sir.
00:12:19The one with the beard.
00:12:20Aha!
00:12:21That'd be good, pardon?
00:12:23I said, ha-ha!
00:12:25Quite so, sir.
00:12:27And this was at Greystone Manor?
00:12:29Yes, sir.
00:12:30And something tells me, Teddy, we're going to pay a visit to Greystone.
00:12:33Weasel?
00:12:34Aye.
00:12:35Uh...
00:12:36Quetzals.
00:12:37Good evening, sir.
00:12:38Good evening, sir.
00:12:43Whom do you wish to see, sir?
00:12:44Oh, uh, would you inform Miss Clavering, Miss Phyllis Clavering, that Captain Drummond is here?
00:12:49Will you wait in the drawing room, please?
00:12:52Oh, uh, would you inform Miss Clavering, Miss Phyllis Clavering, that Captain Drummond is here?
00:12:54Will you wait in the drawing room, please?
00:12:56Oh, uh, would you inform Miss Clavering, Miss Phyllis Clavering, that Captain Drummond is here?
00:12:57Will you wait in the drawing room, please?
00:12:59Oh, uh, would you inform Miss Clavering, Miss Phyllis Clavering, that Captain Drummond is here?
00:13:12Will you wait in the drawing room, please?
00:13:15Captain Drummond.
00:13:39Yes, uh, I'm...
00:13:41Permit me to introduce myself.
00:13:43I'm Norman Meridue.
00:13:45We're neighbors, I understand.
00:13:46Well, Rockingham Lodge and Grey Store Manor, friend.
00:13:49Oh.
00:13:50Yes.
00:13:51Will you join me?
00:13:53You, uh, wanted to see Miss Cleverie?
00:13:56Uh, yes.
00:13:58I came to return her bag.
00:14:01Found on the road, perhaps?
00:14:03No.
00:14:05As a matter of fact, in my car.
00:14:07Oh.
00:14:08Oh, I see.
00:14:09Then it was your car Miss Cleverie used.
00:14:11Yes.
00:14:11I'll finish the hour.
00:14:33This is Captain Drummond.
00:14:40How do you do?
00:14:43He's brought your bag.
00:14:45Oh.
00:14:46Yes, sir.
00:14:47I believe you'll find everything there.
00:14:48You're very kind, Captain Drummond.
00:15:01Oh, my pleasure, I assure you.
00:15:05That is all, my dear.
00:15:09Then you want to excuse me?
00:15:10Surely.
00:15:10You're puzzled.
00:15:31Definitely.
00:15:33An explanation is in order, Captain.
00:15:35An hour ago, Miss Cleverie appropriated your car and attempted to proceed to London.
00:15:44An extraordinary instant, I admit.
00:15:46But when I explain that she is, uh, suffering from a persecution complex, I think you'll understand.
00:15:52And you were the persecutor?
00:15:54For the moment, she believes that I am responsible for her brother's death.
00:15:58And, uh, she also believes that I am plotting to steal her inheritance.
00:16:06Are you?
00:16:09Miss Cleverie's inheritance is safely invested in war loans.
00:16:14Series D, to be exact.
00:16:15I have some.
00:16:16They're very good, too.
00:16:17Yes, an excellent investment.
00:16:19Uh, Mr. Meridoux, you mentioned a brother.
00:16:21Yes, poor chap.
00:16:23He was accidentally killed while we were hunting several weeks ago.
00:16:26Then Miss Cleverie, perhaps, is a relative of yours?
00:16:29Oh, no.
00:16:29Daughter of an old friend.
00:16:30A very dear friend who died several years ago.
00:16:33Deep grief accounts for her state of mind and is the explanation of our presence here in Greystone.
00:16:37Oh, I see.
00:16:39Ah, Mrs. Selden.
00:16:40My sister.
00:16:41How do you do?
00:16:42Professor Stanton, this is Captain Drummond.
00:16:44How do you do?
00:16:44Happy to meet you, Captain.
00:16:45Professor Stanton is a psychiatrist.
00:16:47He is confident that a few months in the country will see Miss Cleverie herself again.
00:16:51Unquestioned.
00:16:52I see.
00:16:53Of course, Captain, I may count on you to treat the matter with confidence.
00:16:55Gossip has an ugly way of spreading, even in the country.
00:16:58Yes, I think I understand.
00:16:59Well, good night.
00:17:00And thank you so much.
00:17:02And thank you, Mr. Meridoux.
00:17:03Good night.
00:17:04Good night.
00:17:05Good night.
00:17:05Good night.
00:17:06Good night.
00:17:22Do you think that he...
00:17:37Never mind.
00:17:38Were you both in here when she came from the drawing room and went upstairs?
00:17:41Why, no.
00:17:41We were...
00:17:42Never mind.
00:17:42Something happened that makes me believe she tried to.
00:18:01Did you put a note in Captain Drummond's hat?
00:18:02No.
00:18:03Don't lie.
00:18:04I didn't.
00:18:08What did you have in this bag when you left here?
00:18:10Nothing.
00:18:11What was it you hoped that Captain Drummond had found?
00:18:13Nothing, I tell you.
00:18:13Nothing.
00:18:14Nothing.
00:18:17Tenton.
00:18:17What's it you thought of?
00:18:33Don't lie.
00:18:35moon.
00:18:37Don't lie.
00:18:37I didn't dream.
00:19:08Thank you, Drummond.
00:19:15Ah-ha, Colonel.
00:19:18Glad to see you.
00:19:21You know, after a trip like I've had, it's a pleasure to come back and find such a smiling countenance.
00:19:25Yeah, I know all about that.
00:19:27Yeah, now you kept me waiting.
00:19:29An hour.
00:19:29Well, I'm awfully sorry, sir, but you see, I...
00:19:31Oh, I know, I know.
00:19:32You were never on time in your life.
00:19:35Well, now that you made yourself at home and I'm here and you're here,
00:19:37let's begin.
00:19:39Sit down.
00:19:41Uh, Hugh, I, um...
00:19:43I want you to do something for me.
00:19:46Gladly, sir.
00:19:47Go away.
00:19:48What?
00:19:50You mean leave London?
00:19:52Leave England.
00:19:53But why?
00:19:54Because whenever you come back from having been somewhere, things begin to happen.
00:20:00Oh, is that all you wanted to see me about?
00:20:02Now, as a favor to me, go away.
00:20:05Anywhere.
00:20:06Drive back to, uh, to, to Borneo for a couple of weeks.
00:20:09Anywhere.
00:20:10Now, won't you?
00:20:11Oh, but Commissioner, I...
00:20:12Ah, please.
00:20:14I, I, I, I'm on a vacation.
00:20:16Yes, I, uh, I want to concentrate upon my golf.
00:20:20Now, you know that slice of mine.
00:20:22Well, I'm determined to get rid of it.
00:20:24Now, like a good fellow.
00:20:26Fly that airplane of yours back across the channel to, uh, uh, to, to Paris.
00:20:32Uh, uh, yes, that's it.
00:20:33Paris.
00:20:34Yes, you like Paris, Hugh.
00:20:35Yes.
00:20:37Uh, Colonel.
00:20:39You know, I have a sneaky suspicion that you're dealing from the bottom of the deck.
00:20:44What's that?
00:20:46You're quite certain you're not down here in a big case?
00:20:49Oh, rubbish, rubbish.
00:20:51I, I, I'm on a vacation, I tell you.
00:20:53And, and I don't want it ruined by you.
00:20:55But why should I go away when within two hours of my homecoming?
00:20:59I knew it.
00:21:00I knew it.
00:21:02Now, I suppose you're going to tell me that you've met a girl.
00:21:06I have met a girl.
00:21:08Oh, yes, yes.
00:21:09And the girl's in distress, I suppose.
00:21:12She is in distress.
00:21:14Ah, yes.
00:21:15And you are going to rescue her from some bearded villain, eh?
00:21:19Colonel, he is bearded.
00:21:24What's this?
00:21:26Where'd you get this?
00:21:28You, are you asking me to believe that this girl you've met
00:21:31is in prison at Greystone Manor?
00:21:34That is exactly what I'm asking you to believe.
00:21:36Ten minutes ago, I saw, uh...
00:21:39Yes, well, never mind what you saw.
00:21:40Where's this envelope?
00:21:41Oh, it wasn't there.
00:21:42Wasn't where?
00:21:43In my car.
00:21:43Oh, my hat, you are an adult ape.
00:21:49Now, look here, Hugh.
00:21:50There's nothing wrong at Greystone Manor.
00:21:53Norman Marriedew is a friend of mine.
00:21:55Well, I've known him for years.
00:21:57Why, he's the only man I can beat at golf.
00:22:00Ha, ha, yes.
00:22:01No, no, he, he and his sister are doing a fine thing.
00:22:06But, Inspector...
00:22:07Don't call me Inspector.
00:22:11This fine thing you speak of, uh,
00:22:14does it concern Miss Clavering?
00:22:16Oh, why in the name of my sainted aunt
00:22:21have you come back to torment me?
00:22:25Well, here, yes, Hugh,
00:22:27it does concern Miss Clavering.
00:22:31And I want you to listen to me.
00:22:33Sit down.
00:22:33Huh?
00:22:35Huh?
00:22:35I want you to listen to me.
00:23:05Oh, my dear Hugh, if you will only scotch the wheels of your imagination, you may understand
00:23:20that this girl is not responsible for anything she said or does.
00:23:25But, Colonel, I tell you that you're telling me.
00:23:28I'm telling you, Hugh Drummond.
00:23:31Oh, Commissioner, now where's your wrong man?
00:23:34Romance.
00:23:35That's the trouble with you, my boy.
00:23:38This eternal quest for melodrama and romance.
00:23:42Now, you will do what I ask, won't you?
00:23:44But, uh...
00:23:45No, I don't hear another word about it.
00:23:46No, I'm on a vacation, and I want peace and quiet, Hugh.
00:23:50Please, peace and quiet.
00:24:04Oursant!
00:24:11It's yours, sir.
00:24:12Is it a boy or a girl?
00:24:12Neither, sir.
00:24:13It's Captain Drummond calling from Rockingham Lodge.
00:24:18It's yours, sir.
00:24:25Is it a boy or a girl?
00:24:26Neither, sir.
00:24:27It's Captain Drummond calling from Rockingham Lodge.
00:24:30Oh, thank you.
00:24:34Hello, Q.
00:24:37What's that all, fella?
00:24:39Oh, but I couldn't now.
00:24:41Oh, but, Algy, I'm depending on you.
00:24:44Imagine this.
00:24:45The road to Danmore.
00:24:46Fog.
00:24:47And such a fog, Algy.
00:24:48A dank and dismal dusk on the depressing stretches of dreary Danmore.
00:24:53Quite a few Ds, don't you think?
00:24:54Oh, yeah.
00:24:56And then, Algy, appearing suddenly from nowhere like an angel from the clouds, a girl.
00:25:01A beautiful girl.
00:25:03A lovely, ravishing girl.
00:25:05A girl?
00:25:06But, Hugh, you know, tonight's a sort of crisis in my life.
00:25:10You know, it isn't every day that chap becomes her father.
00:25:12I've just got to be here, don't you think?
00:25:15Or do you?
00:25:16You're right, Algy.
00:25:18Of course you're right.
00:25:19If there's danger to face, I'll face it.
00:25:23Alone.
00:25:23Oh, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.
00:25:36Operator.
00:25:37Operator.
00:25:38Did you ring, sir?
00:25:39Yes, Tenny.
00:25:40That's delightful atrocity donated by our aunt.
00:25:43There are people who hold us no more.
00:25:44May I express approval, sir?
00:25:45You may.
00:25:46Very well, sir.
00:25:47I approve, sir.
00:25:49It's all I tell you, it's Algy.
00:25:51He thinks I'm shot.
00:25:52Are you expecting Mr. Longworth, sir?
00:25:53If he's the Algy I know, he'll be here.
00:25:55And when he comes, tell him I've gone to Greystone Manor.
00:25:58Very well, sir.
00:25:59He'll need a gun, I doubt it.
00:26:01Yes, excellent idea.
00:26:02Yes, I will, I think so, sir.
00:26:03Nurse!
00:26:05Yes, Mr. Longworth?
00:26:05My friend, Mr. Dorman, he's been shot.
00:26:07He needs me.
00:26:08Well, then why don't you go to him, sir?
00:26:10The baby!
00:26:10Don't you think that I ought to...
00:26:11There's nothing, sir, that you can do for five or six hours.
00:26:14Are you sure?
00:26:15You can take my word for it.
00:26:17The meantime is in the drawing room, sir.
00:26:19Right.
00:26:23Captain Dorman.
00:26:25Oh.
00:26:25You've come here to see me concerning the note left in your hat by Miss Clavering.
00:26:29Colonel Nielsen was kind enough to explain.
00:26:32This gentleman has tried to convince me that Miss Clavering's attempt to leave here this afternoon
00:26:35was due to some mental condition.
00:26:38Frankly, without mincing matters, my dear sir, I don't believe a word of it.
00:26:42I've seen the young lady twice, and she's just the same as you or I.
00:26:45Do you know what you're saying?
00:26:47I've had this speech very carefully prepared.
00:26:49Now, look here.
00:26:50Colonel, one moment, please.
00:26:52You believe Miss Clavering is being held here against her will.
00:26:55You've stated very clearly.
00:26:57And you've come to convince Colonel Nielsen that I am, what shall I say, a scoundrel.
00:27:01A bearded scoundrel.
00:27:03Commissioner, the notes you read refer to an envelope addressed to you.
00:27:07Here it is.
00:27:18Read that.
00:27:25Go on, out loud.
00:27:26Diggory, diggory, dock.
00:27:34The mouse ran up the clock.
00:27:37And when she got there, the cupboard was bare.
00:27:39And so the poor doggie had none.
00:27:41I warned him not to annoy you, Mary Dugh.
00:27:45And my word for it, he won't do it again.
00:27:48Drummond, this has gone beyond a joke.
00:27:51You leave here immediately.
00:27:52And that's an order.
00:27:54Leave here.
00:27:58All right.
00:27:58I, uh, suppose I should be angry, Captain.
00:28:06But you're not.
00:28:07I quite understand the romantic interest that you so chivalricly display.
00:28:11Yes.
00:28:12On the other hand, you look as impetuous and, uh, sometimes foolhardy.
00:28:17So, reading between the lines, I should mind my own business.
00:28:20Virtues at such a cost have undeniable advantages.
00:28:23Yes, I dare stay.
00:28:27I dare stay.
00:28:29Well, au revoir.
00:28:31You too, pickled face.
00:28:53I dare stay.
00:29:19Oh, my God.
00:29:49Phyllis.
00:29:50Who's that?
00:29:52I loaned you my car tonight.
00:29:54Remember?
00:29:55Captain Drummond.
00:30:03Can you please go away?
00:30:05If they find you here...
00:30:06The genuine host believes I've gone.
00:30:08And besides,
00:30:10they're all downstairs discussing golf sticks with Colonel Newton.
00:30:13You know Colonel Newton?
00:30:15You gave him the envelope?
00:30:16He's got to have drawn caught on me.
00:30:18Why?
00:30:19Didn't you read what was in it?
00:30:20Well,
00:30:21the envelope contained in the sort of mother goose rhymes.
00:30:25Oh.
00:30:27Then someone must have...
00:30:29Substituted them for what you wrote.
00:30:32That's the only way it could have happened.
00:30:34Ah.
00:30:36Now,
00:30:37let's get to the bottom of it, shall we?
00:30:38Who wants to be murdered tonight on the morse?
00:30:46Solis.
00:30:48Shelford.
00:30:49He was helping the escape.
00:30:51You're being held here against your will.
00:30:52Isn't that it?
00:30:54Why?
00:30:54Well, I...
00:30:56I don't know exactly.
00:30:59I'm feeling the way I do.
00:31:01You see, um...
00:31:03My brother...
00:31:05It does sound a bit queer, doesn't it?
00:31:08Well...
00:31:09A little mixed, shall we say.
00:31:12Do you think I'm crazy?
00:31:17Well, if you are, I...
00:31:18I'd rather like it.
00:31:20Well, and until his death...
00:31:22Two months ago...
00:31:23He had...
00:31:24That was my brother.
00:31:25He was Mr. Meridue's secretary.
00:31:27How did Ted die?
00:31:29He was shot during a hunt.
00:31:31You think it was an accident?
00:31:34No.
00:31:35Meridue murdered him in cold blood.
00:31:37Why?
00:31:39I don't know.
00:31:43What was in those papers you were so anxious for Colonel Middleton to see?
00:31:46I don't know that either.
00:31:48But if you wrote them...
00:31:49I didn't.
00:31:50Ted wrote them weeks ago.
00:31:51Well, he sent them to me.
00:31:52You must know what was in them.
00:31:53He didn't send them to me.
00:31:55I found them in the garden.
00:31:56The envelope had come apart.
00:31:58And the writing was so blurred.
00:32:01And so covered in mud that I couldn't read most of it.
00:32:03Anyway, what could you make out?
00:32:05Anything?
00:32:06Well, there was, um...
00:32:08An astounding discovery concerning Nathan Meridue.
00:32:12And two whole pages of numbers.
00:32:14A series of numbers, it seemed to me.
00:32:21After Ted died, Mr. Meridue sent for me.
00:32:24He's an old friend of my father's.
00:32:26He asked a lot of strange questions.
00:32:30I guess my answer must have made him believe that I knew what Ted had written.
00:32:34Because I've been a prisoner here ever since.
00:32:35But I told you, Mr. Longworth, Captain Drummond left just a few moments ago.
00:32:40But wasn't that his...
00:32:40Oh, I see.
00:32:43He's gone, you say?
00:32:44Yes, Mr. Longworth.
00:32:46Oh, thank you, yes.
00:32:47The pogs up this way are very similar to the pogs in London, aren't they?
00:32:50Quite similar, sir.
00:32:52Yes.
00:32:56Have you seen anything unusual?
00:32:58No.
00:32:59No, I haven't.
00:33:00But sometimes at night, there are the most peculiar noises.
00:33:05Like something shrieking.
00:33:08Then the lights go down and up.
00:33:10Then it'll stop and start all over again.
00:33:14Shh, I'm not coming.
00:33:16Go, please.
00:33:28Are you comfortable, dear?
00:33:29I'm all right.
00:33:31And have you taken your ready for me?

00:33:36To find your way back to health and happiness, you must do exactly as he says.

00:50:16Why you?
00:50:41Take Phyllis for a dropper.
00:50:43Phyllis?
00:50:43God, I got her with your very life.
00:50:45Where would I take her to?
00:50:46If those constables regained consciousness...
00:50:48I know the jail.
00:50:49I took the keys from the constables, sir.
00:50:50Kenny, you have wonderful ideas.
00:50:52I love them.
00:50:52I like them, sir.
00:50:53Now, come on, they'll never find her there.
00:50:54Yeah, then I can follow the hospital.
00:50:55Hospital, hurry, hurry.
00:50:57All right.
00:50:57Sounds like you.
00:50:58All right.
00:51:01Bye.
00:51:01I'm going to break him.
00:51:02I'm going to be playing.
00:51:02Students first come under me.
00:51:03I'll walk under me.
00:51:04I will be in bed.
00:51:05All right.
00:51:05I rule me out.
00:51:06Let's go under me.
00:51:06I need you to walk behind him.
00:51:07All right.
00:51:38Captain Donald.
00:51:39Phyllis.
00:51:42Are there two of you?
00:51:44Two of me?
00:51:45Three minutes ago I rescued you from your room.
00:51:49Oh, that was Natalie.
00:51:50Asleep in your room?
00:51:52No.
00:51:53A little while ago Professor Stanton gave me a sleeping tablet.
00:51:56I held it in my mouth.
00:51:58And when Natalie came to see if I was asleep,
00:52:00I smashed her off the head with a night lamp.
00:52:04Phyllis, you're wonderful.
00:52:04You're one of us.
00:52:06One of you?
00:52:06Yes, the bounty is coming in.
00:52:11Come on.
00:52:29Are all the doors and windows locked?
00:52:31Everything.
00:52:32It's getting to be funny the way you keep healing things.
00:52:35Let's dive some progress to damage.
00:52:36Well, go upstairs and see whether everything's all right.
00:52:44Well, it looks like you might be here for quite a while, Phyllis.
00:52:48Be seated.
00:53:02Dust.
00:53:03Dust.
00:53:19Dust.
00:53:21Dust of the ages, my dear.
00:53:23A lie over the romantic past of these ancient walls.
00:53:26I must leave it, too.
00:53:27I suppose this beehive of industrious skull battery will eventually quiet down.
00:53:33Now we can get out of here.
00:53:35It seems to come from below.
00:53:49It does come from below.
00:53:51Yes.
00:53:53But don't you think we're talking too much?
00:53:55That's a very wise remark.
00:53:59But before we settle down to wait, may I ask just one simple question?
00:54:03Maybe it doesn't take too long an answer.
00:54:05Oh, it doesn't.
00:54:09Do you, Cook?
00:54:10Oh, it's too bad.
00:54:20Well, we will now meditate.
00:54:22About what?
