00:00:00I love a mystery, featuring the adventures of Jack Packard and Doc Long in The Decapitation
00:00:18of Jefferson Monk.
00:00:30I love you.
00:01:00San Francisco, golden gateway to the Orient, where East and West have met and mingled.
00:01:15City of romance and mystery.
00:01:24Get your hurry, Joel.
00:01:25Take your time.
00:01:26All the king's horses can't put that fella back there together again.
00:01:30All the king's horses can't put that fella back there again.
00:01:31Now, let's go.
00:01:32Let's go.
00:01:33Let's go.
00:01:34Let's go.
00:01:35Let's go.
00:01:36Let's go.
00:01:38Let's go.
00:01:39Let's go.
00:01:40Let's go.
00:01:41Let's go.
00:01:42Let's go.
00:01:43Let's go.
00:01:44Let's go.
00:01:45Name, Jefferson Monk.
00:01:49Address...
00:01:51Tell me you just got a new customer, Gimpy. Anybody important?
00:01:53How should I know? Two of these portals pass the known and unknown.
00:01:56The important and the unimportant, eventually.
00:01:58Now, that's a cheerful thought.
00:02:00Your morbid vocation has made a philosopher out of you, Gimpy.
00:02:03Oh, sure, sure.
00:02:04What's the name?
00:02:06Monk. Jefferson Monk. Automobile crash.
00:02:09Coyle Bridge.
00:02:10Bridge?
00:02:11Dead on arrival.
00:02:12That's right.
00:02:13Jefferson Monk.
00:02:14Hey, could that be THE Jefferson Monk?
00:02:18Search me.
00:02:19You mind if I take a look?
00:02:20I'll help yourself.
00:02:27Where's his head?
00:02:28Say, Morgan, how do you spell decapitated?
00:02:44I can't understand it. Mr. Monk. He was such a nice gentleman. He used to come here very often. I think I'd like to see him.
00:03:02I told you already about that, Mr. Monk.
00:03:03I think I told you already about that, Mr. Monk.
00:03:04Six times.
00:03:05The fella's got a right to repeat himself once in a while, but you're overdoing it.
00:03:08Hey, you know, Jack, that fella was right. That prophesied pick the date that Monk was gonna die.
00:03:10Prophecy?
00:03:11He hit it right on the nose.
00:03:12Yes, the prophecy was fulfilled.
00:03:13Now, gentlemen, please, you can't make me believe in such nonsensicals.
00:03:14We didn't believe it either when Mr. Monk first told us about it.
00:03:17Yeah.
00:03:18I thought he was drunk as a hoot, Al. He's satin' right over yonder in booth number 12 with that gal, Jean.
00:03:21Well, you know, Jack, that fella was right. That prophesied pick the date that Monk was gonna die.
00:03:27Prophecy?
00:03:28He hit it right on the nose.
00:03:30Yes, the prophecy was fulfilled.
00:03:32Now, gentlemen, please, you can't make me believe in such nonsensicals.
00:03:36We didn't believe it either when Mr. Monk first told us about it.
00:03:39Yeah. I thought he was drunk as a hoot, Al.
00:03:43He's satin' right over yonder in booth number 12 with that gal, Jean.
00:03:47It was one o'clock in the morning, three nights ago, just three nights ago on the 13th of March.
00:03:58Would that be all, Mr. Monk?
00:04:00For the time being, Paul.
00:04:02How's your Petrushka, Bavaric?
00:04:18Petrushka? Speciality of the house.
00:04:21Petrushka? Well, what is that?
00:04:23Sort of a Russian cheesecake. It's very special. You ought to have some.
00:04:27I'd rather have an introduction to that there little old gypsy pigeon.
00:04:31Which one?
00:04:32That little blonde. One that's playing a fiddle.
00:04:34Oh, you mean charda? You want to meet her? That's done. As soon as she finishes her number.
00:04:40I guess I ought to warn you, Bavaric, Doc is quite a ladies' man.
00:04:43He's left a trail of broken hearts from Hong Kong to Hong Kong.
00:04:52Excuse me, gentlemen. It seems to be a little trouble in number 12.
00:04:56Why'd you say that?
00:04:59Please, don't talk so loud.
00:05:01Excuse me, Mr. Monk. Has everything been satisfied?
00:05:03I've been insulted. This lady's insulted me, called me a coward.
00:05:06Boy, I'm sure such a beautiful lady will never intentionally insult her, Mr. Monk.
00:05:10Of course not. Please sit down.
00:05:11I won't sit down. There's no one here who can make me sit down.
00:05:14I'm leaving. Please, Mr. Monk.
00:05:15Jefferson, don't make a scene.
00:05:16Why not? What's the matter with that?
00:05:18How you like it?
00:05:19Here I am enjoying all this fancy foreign feed
00:05:22and an old-fashioned brawl has to bust out next door.
00:05:25Just because of lush, you can...
00:05:31Gentlemen, do I look to you as if I was afraid of anything?
00:05:38What is bothering you, my table-hopping friend?
00:05:41Take it easy, Doc. The aspersion has been made that I'm a coward.
00:05:45Okay, son. I done counted to ten. But he's begging for it.
00:05:48Oh, gentlemen, please.
00:05:50Mr. Packard, Mr. Monk, may I present you Mr. Jefferson Monk.
00:05:54And Miss, uh...
00:05:55Jim.
00:05:56Ah, Sasha. Right in time.
00:05:59Sasha ran, tell Gregory to turn off the lights.
00:06:03I shall lie at this Café Royale here now
00:06:07in honor of Mr. Monk and our special guests,
00:06:10the famous detective Mr. Jack Packard and Mr. Doc Monk.
00:06:15Detectives?
00:06:17That's right.
00:06:19Miss Jim, ladies and gentlemen,
00:06:22this Café Royale is the speciality of the house.
00:06:26Miss Jim, ladies and gentlemen,
00:06:28Miss Jim, ladies and gentlemen,
00:06:29please, please, that's nothing, just an accident.
00:06:33Nice work, son. Remind me to say thank you.
00:06:36Please, please, that's nothing. Just an accident.
00:06:55Nice work, son. Remind me to say thank you.
00:06:58Do you have any first aid equipment in the kitchen?
00:06:59Yes, the kitchen.
00:07:00Take Doc out there and dress his arms.
00:07:02It's not too severe a burn. Your jacket got the worst of it.
00:07:04You mean I can't sew them for nothing but just a new coat?
00:07:07Only one slave.
00:07:08Please, this way.
00:07:10I think we better be going.
00:07:14I'm sorry I had to bowl you over like that, Mr. Monk.
00:07:17I'm very grateful.
00:07:19That was not sort of an accident.
00:07:21It wasn't an accident.
00:07:23The fire and the boiling coffee were intended for me.
00:07:26Why do you say that?
00:07:28He's been talking nonsense like that all evening.
00:07:31Can't we go now, Jefferson?
00:07:32You wouldn't look so skeptical, Mr. Packard.
00:07:34If you knew that accidents like this are constantly happening to me.
00:07:38Why don't you go to the police for protection?
00:07:40That's what makes it all so tragically absurd.
00:07:43I don't know the names of the people who want to kill me.
00:07:46I've never even seen their faces.
00:07:48All I know is I won't be alive three days from now.
00:07:53I've been condemned to death.
00:07:55You don't believe me, but whenever I go anywhere at night, there's a man who follows me everywhere.
00:08:05In his hand, he carries a small black valise, just the right size to hold a man's head.
00:08:12Jefferson.
00:08:12I tell you, I've seen it.
00:08:17He carries a small black valise.
00:08:20You've never seen his face?
00:08:21Never.
00:08:22And he's been following me for nearly a month.
00:08:24Well, how come?
00:08:25You got anything that belongs to him?
00:08:27He thinks so.
00:08:29He's after my head.
00:08:31Now I've heard everything.
00:08:33You don't have to take my word for it.
00:08:35Just follow me and see for yourself.
00:08:38Why, certainly.
00:08:40Will you?
00:08:42I'd be very grateful.
00:08:45You see, sometimes I'm not so sure of myself.
00:08:48I feel confused.
00:08:50Well, you just go ahead.
00:08:52Me and Jack will be right behind you.
00:08:54Anybody following you, well, we'll grab them.
00:08:56One more son.
00:08:59I left my coat in the booth.
00:09:01Would you get it for me, Jefferson?
00:09:03Why, certainly.
00:09:04Excuse me.
00:09:07I've been very patient with him.
00:09:11You are not Mrs. Monk, I take it?
00:09:13No, just a friend.
00:09:14You see, Mr. Monk's wife is an invalid.
00:09:17I hope you're not serious about following us.
00:09:19There really isn't anything.
00:09:20It's all in Jefferson's mind.
00:09:22Yes, I'm sure it is, Miss...
00:09:24Gene.
00:09:25We only agreed to follow him so that he'd leave quietly.
00:09:29Yeah, Gene, but if you need any help in the future
00:09:33while me and Jackie are staying at the Baycrest Hotel,
00:09:35room 1202.
00:09:39Here you are.
00:09:41You haven't changed your mind.
00:09:42You're going to follow us.
00:09:44Oh, sure.
00:09:44Just leave it to us.
00:09:54Come on, son.
00:09:55My arm's beginning to hurt.
00:09:56Let's get on out of here.
00:09:57Wait a minute.
00:09:58Give him time to get a little way ahead of us.
00:10:00Come on.
00:10:00Come on.
00:10:01Come on.
00:10:01Come on.
00:10:02Come on.
00:10:02Come on.
00:10:03Come on.
00:10:03Come on.
00:10:04Come on.
00:10:04Seems like kind of a shame to walk off and leave Mr. Monk.
00:10:23I don't intend to leave Mr. Monk.
00:10:25Or his girlfriend, Gene, who doesn't like to give her last name.
00:10:28Hey, you didn't fall for that stuff he was handing out
00:10:30while he was so drunk.
00:10:32He wasn't drunk.
00:10:33He'd been drugged.
00:10:42I don't hear them.
00:10:43They said they'd follow us.
00:10:45That doesn't mean they'll be stepping on our heels.
00:10:47Do you hear anything?
00:11:00Do you hear anything?
00:11:09Yes.
00:11:12That step.
00:11:14It's him.
00:11:17Do you hear it?
00:11:18I don't hear anything.
00:11:20Are you sure it isn't just in your mind?
00:11:22No, no.
00:11:23It's not in my mind.
00:11:24I tell you, I hear it.
00:11:27Listen.
00:11:29Nothing.
00:11:30Come on.
00:11:31Let's go.
00:11:31Wait.
00:11:33I'm going to stay and face it.
00:11:35Those detectives aren't following you.
00:11:37They're probably home in bed.
00:11:41What?
00:11:42What did you say?
00:11:44They told me they weren't going to follow us.
00:11:46They only said that to get rid of you.
00:11:47You're lying.
00:11:49Say you're lying.
00:11:50Say you're lying.
00:11:51Help!
00:11:51Help!
00:11:52Are you one of them?
00:11:54Help!
00:11:54There he goes, Doc.
00:12:04Head after him.
00:12:15Hey, Jack, is he hurt?
00:12:16No, it just has the width scared out of me.
00:12:18Well, no wonder.
00:12:19Did you get a look at that freak?
00:12:21No, not a close one.
00:12:22Well, I did.
00:12:23Too close.
00:12:24Are you all right?
00:12:25You see, I was telling the truth.
00:12:29Yeah, I guess you were.
00:12:30Well, from now on, Doc and I'll do you worrying for you.
00:12:32Yeah, I can't wait to get my hands on that fellow with that satchel again.
00:12:51Lie down, Hamlet.
00:12:52He's worried about me.
00:13:03What gets me is what you said about that gal, Jean.
00:13:06You sure you ain't never seen her before tonight?
00:13:08Positive.
00:13:09Positive.
00:13:09She sort of attached herself to me at the bar.
00:13:12I see a light in one of the windows.
00:13:14Did the servants wait up for you?
00:13:15No, that lights in Mrs. Monk's room.
00:13:17My wife never goes to sleep until I get home.
00:13:20Ellen's an invalid, paralyzed from the waist down.
00:13:22Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:13:24Nice of it to wait up for you.
00:13:25I'd rather you didn't mention what happened tonight.
00:13:28I don't want my wife to start worrying about me.
00:13:31Well, how about you having just three more days to live?
00:13:33Did you tell her about that?
00:13:34Oh, yes.
00:13:36Ellen knows all about the prophecy.
00:13:38It's connected with her paralysis.
00:13:40Prophecy?
00:13:40Yes.
00:13:42Shall we go in?
00:13:43I'll explain the entire matter to you inside.
00:13:59Turn on the oriental side, eh?
00:14:01Yes, my wife loves everything connected with the oriental.
00:14:04Will we wait a moment, please?
00:14:05I'll tell out of my idea.
00:14:10What did you make of it, son?
00:14:16You got any ideas?
00:14:17I don't know enough about it yet to have any ideas.
00:14:26What's the matter?
00:14:36Who are you?
00:14:39Mrs. Monk.
00:14:40I'm Jack Packard, and this is my partner, Doc Long.
00:14:43We brought Mr. Monk home.
00:14:45Oh, there you are, darling.
00:14:47I went to your room, but I couldn't find you.
00:14:49Jefferson, why are these gentlemen here?
00:14:50Why, dear, they're detectives.
00:14:52Detectives?
00:14:52They promised to help us investigate.
00:14:53Jefferson, are you out of your mind?
00:14:55Do you want every tabloid newspaper in this town to learn our story?
00:14:57But, darling, our business is keeping secrets, Mrs. Monk.
00:15:00Yes, ma'am.
00:15:01Besides, we already know quite a little bit.
00:15:04Mr. Packard and Mr. Long befriended me this evening.
00:15:06I've told them a little of what we've been through the past few weeks.
00:15:09Jefferson and I have been living under such a strain since all this began.
00:15:15I'm afraid I was terribly rude to you.
00:15:18Please forgive me.
00:15:19That's all right.
00:15:19We understand.
00:15:21Dear, if you don't mind, I'd like to tell them the whole story from the very beginning.
00:15:26Well, you see, about a year ago, Jefferson and I took a trip through the Orient.
00:15:30A sort of second honeymoon for us.
00:15:31We didn't know then that it was to...
00:15:35If I could only make you understand...
00:15:37You mustn't talk, dear.
00:15:38I'll explain everything.
00:15:39All right.
00:15:41I'm tired.
00:15:42Will you please excuse me?
00:15:44Good night.
00:15:44Good night.
00:15:45Good night.
00:15:45Good night to you.
00:15:46Please make Mr. Packard and Mr. Long feel at home.
00:15:48Of course.
00:15:53When I see how brave she takes all this, it makes me thoroughly ashamed of myself.
00:15:58I think we'd be more comfortable in the drawing room.
00:16:01Before we begin, can I pour anyone a drink?
00:16:14Not for me, thanks.
00:16:15I don't ever touch the stuff so early in the morning.
00:16:18Mind if I have one?
00:16:19I need something after tonight's little experience.
00:16:21Go right ahead, son.
00:16:22Have a seat.
00:16:23You were saying something about a second honeymoon.
00:16:25Yes.
00:16:27You see, Ellen and I were great travelers.
00:16:29And this trip was deliberately haphazard.
00:16:32We took coast-wise boats and tramp steamers from one seaport to the next, stopping off at wonderful out-of-the-way places.
00:16:39This all started in Backyard, supposed to be one of the wickedest places in the world, certainly one of the most mysterious.
00:16:48It was Ellen's idea that we go there.
00:16:50I hadn't wanted to, but she insisted.
00:16:53She had heard of a thieves' market in Backyard with the marvelous specimens of jade, and she wanted to visit it.
00:17:00Ellen loves jade and is always collecting it.
00:17:02In those days, she was well and walking.
00:17:04It was there in Backyard that a startling thought came to me.
00:17:10A street musician who seemed to be following us looked strangely familiar.
00:17:15In several ports previously, I was certain we had seen him, always playing the same weird music.
00:17:22Suddenly, his presence ceased being coincidental and became deliberate.
00:17:25I was convinced that the musician was following us, and that his music was in some way connected with Ellen and me.
00:17:38We were sailing for home the next day.
00:17:42But somehow I couldn't shake off the eerie feeling that music had given me.
00:17:47Then, one night I heard it again.
00:17:50Here.
00:17:52Right here in San Francisco.
00:17:53It was evening.
00:17:56I was meeting Ellen for dinner in a strange part of town.
00:18:00She was very late and it had grown dark.
00:18:02I was beginning to be nervous when I heard that same music.
00:18:07There coming toward me was a blind beggar.
00:18:12Suddenly, I made up my mind to speak to him.
00:18:14I stepped from my car and threw him a coin.
00:18:18Would you mind telling me what tune that is you're playing?
00:18:20It is music of my people far away.
00:18:24As long as you hear it, no harm will come to you.
00:18:29Do you recognize it?
00:18:31Yes, I've heard it several times.
00:18:33In the Orient.
00:18:34Then if you recognize it, I have a message for you.
00:18:37To my amazement, the note was in Ellen's handwriting, asking me to come to her and implying she was in some danger.
00:18:46My first impulse was to call the police, but the note warned me to come alone.
00:18:52I asked the beggar.
00:18:54Where did you get this?
00:18:56My master.
00:18:57He wishes to speak with you.
00:18:59Who is your master?
00:19:00Where is he?
00:19:01Most high man.
00:19:03Most important.
00:19:05He say you will come to see him.
00:19:08What makes him so sure?
00:19:10He say if you love your wife, you will come to see him.
00:19:14Follow me, please.
00:19:24I suppose everyone has at some time or other been in situations where familiar things suddenly become strange.
00:19:31It was that way with me.
00:19:33I have lived here all my life, and yet I followed that blind man through alleys and along strange streets I had never seen before.
00:19:40I felt as if I had been cut off from the world I knew.
00:19:44I was alone in a strange foreign place, and I was frightened, like a child that awakens and finds itself surrounded by new, unfamiliar faces.
00:19:55Is this where my wife is?
00:20:03Where is your master?
00:20:05Follow me.
00:20:06Follow me.
00:20:06My master is here.
00:20:28My master is here.
00:20:28My master is here.
00:20:58I will tell the master you are here.
00:21:16Just a moment.
00:21:18Who is this master?
00:21:20He will speak for himself.
00:21:22The room I was in seemed to be the basement of a deserted temple or monastery.
00:21:26As I waited, a strange feeling I was being watched came over me.
00:21:45I am the person who sent for you.
00:21:47You may call me Mr. G.
00:21:49Will you kindly tell me where my wife is and why you brought me here?
00:21:52Have patience, Mr. Monk.
00:21:53I have followed you for many months over many thousands of miles.
00:21:56That still doesn't answer my question, Mr. G., if that is your real name.
00:22:00Reality, Mr. Monk, what is it?
00:22:02If you are a skeptic, you say only those things that you can see and feel and taste are real.
00:22:07Believe me, there is more to life than that.
00:22:09There is even more to death.
00:22:11I didn't come here to discuss philosophy.
00:22:13Oh, forgive me.
00:22:14I was indulging myself.
00:22:16Allow me to reassure you that your wife is safe and that she is here.
00:22:20Now, if you'll take me to her, I'll...
00:22:22Everything in due time, Mr. Monk.
00:22:24I have first to make you a proposition, a business proposition.
00:22:28Your business methods are a trifle unique, Mr. G.
00:22:30You may say the same of the proposition I am about to make.
00:22:34You see, philosophers and scientists have for centuries maintained that nature never repeats herself,
00:22:39that her variety is limitless.
00:22:42And yet, at this moment, and in this very room,
00:22:45there are two mortal forms so much alike as to defy explanation.
00:22:51What do you mean?
00:22:53Who are you?
00:22:56I am G., the high priest of the sacred society of the Baruch Khan.
00:23:02Baruch Khan?
00:23:04The oldest secret society in the world.
00:23:06We were old when Marco Polo was young, over 700 years ago.
00:23:11He was the only other white man ever to become a member.
00:23:15What are you driving at?
00:23:17Will you please step up here to the altar?
00:23:32I...
00:23:32I don't understand.
00:23:34Is it a mummy?
00:23:37Not exactly.
00:23:38It is the body of the sacred one, the founder of the Baruch Khan.
00:23:42He has been dead a thousand years.
00:23:45That's impossible.
00:23:47Why it's...
00:23:47I see you notice a certain resemblance.
00:23:50I...
00:23:50I can't tell.
00:23:52It's incredible.
00:23:54The body of the sacred one has been kept eternally young by the magic of the embalmers.
00:23:58Each member of our order makes at least one pilgrimage during his lifetime to the secret tomb, high in the ice-locked mountains beyond Tibet.
00:24:08From every corner of the world they come to view the features of the sacred one.
00:24:11What is this to do with me?
00:24:14Come.
00:24:16I will show you a portrait.
00:24:17Where did you get this?
00:24:24It is of our beloved founder, made during his lifetime.
00:24:28But that's impossible.
00:24:30It's a portrait of me.
00:24:31Precisely, Mr. Monk.
00:24:33That is why we have brought you here.
00:24:35On behalf of the Society of the Baruch Khan, I am prepared to offer you $10,000 for your head.
00:24:42Are you out of your mind?
00:24:43Quite the contrary.
00:24:45Unfortunately, our founder's head is deteriorating in spite of the most marvelous skill of our embalmers.
00:24:51Mr. Monk, the very existence of the Baruch Khan depends upon your accepting our offer.
00:24:56It's crazy.
00:24:58Absolutely insane.
00:24:59You expect me to sell you my head?
00:25:03When you no longer have any need for it, Mr. Monk.
00:25:07When you are dead.
00:25:16I suppose you know when that will be.
00:25:19It is written in the mountain snows, in the bleaching sands of the desert.
00:25:24You will be dead one year from today.
00:25:29You could kill me for my head.
00:25:33We never kill, Mr. Monk.
00:25:35We merely prophesy.
00:25:38Yours will be a great honor.
00:25:40I can promise you glory for eternity.
00:25:42The temple bells of Far Shanxi, tolling each day at dawn and dusk.
00:25:49And the long lines of humble watchers who will come to gaze upon your hallowed features.
00:25:55The whole thing seems so preposterous.
00:25:59The presence of that mummy.
00:26:02The portrait with my incredible likeness.
00:26:04The mysticism of it all.
00:26:06Well, that is the doggonest thing I ever heard about.
00:26:09He insisted I take the $10,000.
00:26:11You mean you agreed to sell your head?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:14Oh, it was all so weird it seemed the easiest way out of the mess.
00:26:17In fact, it was the only way.
00:26:19Mr. G made it quite plain that unless I accepted his offer, neither Ellen nor I would leave there alive.
00:26:25Well, if you ask me, I think you was darn smart.
00:26:29A month ago I received a letter from Mr. G.
00:26:31Reminding me that my time was almost up.
00:26:34And prophesying that my wife would become an invalid.
00:26:37Three days later, my wife was unable to get out of her bed.
00:26:41Her legs were paralyzed.
00:26:43Well, I'll be dead gone.
00:26:45Did you ever try to find the place where you talked to Mr. G?
00:26:48I spent a week going over the entire district, day after day, on foot.
00:26:52There wasn't a trace.
00:26:53You know, one thing puzzles me.
00:26:55If they were so eager to have your head, why didn't they just take it?
00:26:57Yeah.
00:26:58Why spend 10,000 bucks?
00:27:01Why did they let you live any longer?
00:27:02The Baroque can prefer not to use violence.
00:27:05You see, according to Mr. G, there was the possibility that I might be the reincarnation of their revered founder.
00:27:12That's very interesting.
00:27:13Well, believe me, there was much, much more.
00:27:15Mr. G seemed to know everything about me.
00:27:18When and where I was born, and evidently when and where I'm going to die.
00:27:28Your hamlet is kicking up quite a soliloquy.
00:27:35Hey, Jack, look at yonder.
00:27:37We got us a prowler, son.
00:27:38Come on.
00:27:40Be careful.
00:27:42They've never come here to my house before.
00:27:44You wait here.
00:27:44We'll see what this is all about.
00:27:45Was it a man or a woman?
00:27:56He was headed away from the house.
00:27:57I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.
00:27:59Look around.
00:28:00See if we can't smoke something out.
00:28:08Doc, he's headed for the road.
00:28:11Did you see him?
00:28:12Yeah, he was headed this direction, but I lost sight of him.
00:28:23Look out!
00:28:23Hey!
00:28:32Doc, are you all right?
00:28:34I don't know, son.
00:28:36Maybe I should have stayed in bed today.
00:28:38Did you get a look at whoever was driving that car?
00:28:39Uh-uh.
00:28:40I was too busy looking for a soft place to light.
00:28:42Yeah, it's too fast for me.
00:28:44Come on, let's check the house.
00:28:45Maybe some of the servants or Mrs. Monks are the prowler.
00:28:47Yeah, all right, son.
00:28:48Go do that.
00:29:04Are you sure you didn't hear anyone just outside?
00:29:07Or that no one has entered the room through this window?
00:29:10Well, of course I'm sure.
00:29:11No one could have come in without my knowing it.
00:29:13I'm a very light sleeper.
00:29:15I guess that's that.
00:29:17Thanks, Mrs. Monk.
00:29:19Dear, would you ask Asgard to get me a glass of milk?
00:29:21Certainly, dear.
00:29:22Thanks.
00:29:25It's a doggone shame us busting in on you this way.
00:29:28We get to working on a case, we kind of forget about other folks' feelings.
00:29:31Come on, Jack.
00:29:34Good night.
00:29:34No, please stay, Mr. Packett.
00:29:35I'd like to talk to you.
00:29:37Of course, Mrs. Monk.
00:29:39I want to tell you how glad I was that you consented to help us.
00:29:43Jefferson's been so worried.
00:29:45Sometimes I've feared for his sanity, even his life.
00:29:48Suicide?
00:29:50Well, my husband's extremely sensitive.
00:29:52He's tortured himself with the idea that he's responsible for my condition.
00:29:56Does your husband use any drugs or opiates to quiet his nerves?
00:30:01Jefferson refuses sleeping medicines.
00:30:02He thinks they're a sign of weakness.
00:30:04Perhaps if your physician prescribed something, he'd be willing.
00:30:08Well, I'll speak to Dr. Hahn about it.
00:30:10He's the family physician.
00:30:11I think that'd be wise.
00:30:13Good night.
00:30:14Good night.
00:30:19Good night.
00:30:49You wouldn't have called if it hadn't been urgent.
00:30:54What's that?
00:30:58Say it again, slowly.
00:31:05Tomorrow I'm going to see what's behind Mrs. Monk's supposed illness.
00:31:08Supposed?
00:31:09You mean you think maybe she ain't sick?
00:31:12Could be.
00:31:13Well, that's part of the prophecy.
00:31:15Maybe it is and maybe it isn't.
00:31:16All I know is that Ellen Monk wouldn't be the first woman who hated her husband,
00:31:20pretended to be sick or paralyzed to keep him away from her.
00:31:23Oh, man.
00:31:25I ain't never seen a woman act more in love with her husband.
00:31:28Maybe that's the word for it, Doc.
00:31:30Act.
00:31:30Now go to sleep.
00:31:31There, didn't you hear it?
00:31:57Well, I hear a symphony.
00:31:59But what of it?
00:32:00Listen to it again.
00:32:01Your sacred music of Nervasa, which is supposed to be a thousand years old, was written by Tchaikovsky.
00:32:18I don't get it.
00:32:20A few notes of music appear in a Russian symphony, but what does it prove?
00:32:23Well, maybe nothing, maybe a lot.
00:32:25Let's look at it this way.
00:32:26I'm a detective.
00:32:27I know a lot of fantastic happenings are supposed to come out of the so-called mysterious East.
00:32:32Things that have never been explained.
00:32:33But you refuse to accept them as facts until they can be proved.
00:32:36Is that it?
00:32:37Exactly.
00:32:39Can you explain my wife receiving a letter prophesying that she'll become paralyzed?
00:32:43No, I can't.
00:32:44But I'd like to see that letter.
00:32:46I have it right here.
00:33:01It won't be necessary to show you the other letter, Mr. Packard.
00:33:04Here is a later one, just like it.
00:33:06Aren't you going to read it?
00:33:08I know what it will say.
00:33:09You open it.
00:33:10The temple bells of Far-Shansi, told twice daily for the souls of the Barokan, at dawn
00:33:17and at dusk, when they have rung four more times, you will come home.
00:33:23Temple bells of Far-Shansi.
00:33:26How did you know the exact wording of this?
00:33:28I have a very good memory.
00:33:30The letter prophesying Ellen's inlets began exactly the same way.
00:33:34May I come in?
00:33:36I hope I am not interrupting.
00:33:38Not at all.
00:33:38Well, please come in, doctor.
00:33:41This is Dr. Hahn, attending Mrs. Monk.
00:33:44Mr. Packard, Mr. Long.
00:33:46Mrs. Monk has told me of your exploits, gentlemen.
00:33:49I am glad to meet you both.
00:33:50How do you do, doctor?
00:33:51Hi.
00:33:52I hear we haven't been sleeping well lately.
00:33:55Oh, that's all changed now, doctor.
00:33:57Mr. Packard has promised me an amazing cure for all my troubles.
00:34:00Oh, I'm most impressed.
00:34:02Mr. Packard, are you by chance a medical man as well as a detective?
00:34:05I'm only a medical amateur.
00:34:07What field of medicine do you prefer, Mr. Packard?
00:34:09The human mind, doctor.
00:34:10Oh, psychiatry.
00:34:12My branch fascinating.
00:34:14If you'll excuse me for a moment, I'll look in on Ellen.
00:34:16Oh, certainly.
00:34:17Tell me more about your and Mr. Long's experiences.
00:34:23Well, I started out to be a musician.
00:34:26Are you a musical doctor?
00:34:27Now, it's my turn to plead amateur.
00:34:31I understand, doctor, that you're Russian.
00:34:34I suppose you took your medical training at the University of St. Petersburg.
00:34:39This is a very shrewd guess, Mr. Packard.
00:34:43Am I correct?
00:34:45Yes.
00:34:46Do you mind if I make another shrewd guess?
00:34:48I don't believe there's anything the matter with Mrs. Monk.
00:34:51I believe she could get up and walk tomorrow if she wanted to.
00:34:54It's hardly proper for me to discuss my patience.
00:34:57If you'll excuse me.
00:34:59G'day verodilis, doctor.
00:35:02What?
00:35:07What did you say?
00:35:08I asked where you were born, doctor, in your native tongue.
00:35:11I'm also an amateur linguist.
00:35:13I was born in the province of Uzbek.
00:35:16Have you ever heard of or had any dealings with the Baruchans?
00:35:21The Baruchans?
00:35:23It's a secret organization of professional thieves and cutthroats.
00:35:26Their members are everywhere, I've heard.
00:35:28My travels haven't been as extensive as yours, Mr. Packard.
00:35:33Is there anything further you wish to know?
00:35:35No, thank you.
00:35:41But if there's ever anything you wish to tell me, doctor, I receive all messages at the silver samovar.
00:35:46Well, you done struck oil there, son.
00:35:53Yeah, he's in this up to his neck.
00:35:54What's more, he's no Russian.
00:35:55He's probably Eurasian.
00:35:56Well, how many's mixed up in this, anyhow?
00:35:58I don't know, but that's what we're going to find out.
00:36:00I'll meet you tonight at the silver samovar.
00:36:02In the meantime, try and pick up the trail of that girl.
00:36:04Oh, Gene?
00:36:05Oh, son, that's mixing business with pleasure.
00:36:07Well, is that bad?
00:36:08No, I'm glad you're not, but...
00:36:10Hey, lady.
00:36:23I've been looking for you.
00:36:25Hello.
00:36:26I was looking for you.
00:36:27You was looking for me?
00:36:29Yes.
00:36:30I wanted to ask you how you got along with my drunken boyfriend last night.
00:36:33What makes you say he's your boyfriend or that you're a friend of his family?
00:36:39Because I'm a liar.
00:36:41I've been a liar ever since I can remember.
00:36:44Let's see if we can get a booth before they're all taken.
00:36:47All right.
00:37:03Hey, son, look at what I found.
00:37:09Congratulations.
00:37:10Good evening, Gene.
00:37:11Hello.
00:37:13How about answering a few questions?
00:37:15Why don't you two big, strong fellows mind your own business?
00:37:18At the present, our business is Mr. Monk.
00:37:21He'll be here in a few minutes.
00:37:23Well, I guess that lets me out.
00:37:25You're not afraid of meeting him.
00:37:27Haven't you read the gossip columns?
00:37:30Gene and Jefferson have...
00:37:31Suppose you let me give you a little advice.
00:37:36Stay away from that man.
00:37:38He's stark, raving mad.
00:37:40I'm not at all surprised.
00:37:42What with pretty ladies doping his drinks and trying to scald him to death.
00:37:53Hey, hadn't we better nab her?
00:37:54No.
00:37:55We have far more important work to do.
00:37:57Okay, son.
00:37:58What is the program?
00:37:59Monk is meeting us later.
00:38:01Tonight, we're going to set a trap for the gentleman with the pegged leg.
00:38:05Monk has agreed to be the bait again.
00:38:06Oh, now, that's something like it.
00:38:08You know, Doc, someone with an oriental eye for refined cruelty is trying to drive Monk to suicide.
00:38:14Hey, you mean all that stuff about the prophecy is just so much razzle-dazzle?
00:38:18That's the way I figure it.
00:38:19I looked up the Monk will.
00:38:21There's $2 million in the estate, and the entire estate is held in trust.
00:38:25Monk's father didn't believe in divorce.
00:38:28Now, if Monk or his wife ever hits the Reno trail, the entire estate goes to charity.
00:38:34What meaning?
00:38:36If one of the other dies or is murdered, the entire estate automatically reverts to the other.
00:38:44But murder usually carries a penalty which costs the life of the killer.
00:38:49Now, if Monk could be made to commit suicide...
00:38:52Oh, hey, now a lot of things begins to make sense.
00:38:55Well, when and where do we start at?
00:39:00I gave Monk a whistle and told him to use it if pegged leg shows up.
00:39:22Well, I was like, Ben, now I don't know where I'm going to go.
00:39:26I gave it my wife.
00:39:29Yes, I gave it my wife.
00:39:35I gave it a lot.
00:39:37So, I gave it a lot.
00:39:41I gave it a lot.
00:39:43I gave it to my wife.
00:39:46OK.
00:39:46Got it.
00:39:47Let's see.
00:39:49Get it.
00:39:50What was that?
00:40:07Wish that banked the corners around this block.
00:40:09I think we've fallen for a very old but very effective trick.
00:40:12Somebody wanted to get us off Mr. Pegleg's trail.
00:40:14Yeah, that wasn't Monk at hearted, that was a woman.
00:40:16We'd better get on back to where we're supposed to meet, Mr. Monk.
00:40:20Let's grab that cab. Monk must be somewhere about.
00:40:51Taxi.
00:40:55Come in and share the ride. I'm the neighborly type.
00:40:58Hey, this is the way every taxi cab ought to be furnished.
00:41:02Sister, you do get around.
00:41:04Didn't we just hear you scream a few minutes ago?
00:41:06Possibly. Every once in a while I feel like screaming.
00:41:09And when I do, I just let fly.
00:41:11You're liable to bust your pretty little neck yelling that away.
00:41:13Yeah, scream yourself right into jail.
00:41:16If anything happens to Monk and the police get in and...
00:41:17Don't take yourself so seriously.
00:41:20What is this, a pressure group?
00:41:22Sorry, gentlemen. Three's a crowd.
00:41:24I hope I won't be seeing you.
00:41:25Don't never say we didn't warn you.
00:41:28Cruise around the block, driver.
00:41:29We're looking for someone.
00:41:30Come on.
00:41:51Come on.
00:41:53Let's go.
00:42:23Let's go.
00:42:53Let's go.
00:43:23Let's go.
00:43:53Let's go.
00:44:23Let's go.
00:44:24Let's go.
00:44:25Let's go.
00:44:26Let's go.
00:44:27Let's go.
00:44:28Let's go.
00:44:29Let's go.
00:44:30Let's go.
00:44:31Let's go.
00:44:32Let's go.
00:44:33Let's go.
00:44:34Let's go.
00:44:35Let's go.
00:44:36Let's go.
00:44:37Let's go.
00:44:38Let's go.
00:44:39Let's go.
00:44:44Let's go.
00:44:45Let's go.
00:44:46Let's go.
00:44:47Let's go.
00:44:48Let's go.
00:44:49Let's go.
00:44:50Let's go.
00:44:51Let's go.
00:44:52Let's go.

00:45:53last night Jason Anderson known in police circles as pop or peg leg or the face due
00:46:06to the numerous weird disguises he affected was found dead at 420 this
00:46:09morning in his rooming house so Jean is his daughter yeah doc you better get on
00:46:19over to the police station and see what other information you can pick up okay

00:46:28understand this sudden switch a murderer murdered what do you think it means I
00:46:34don't know but according to my calculations the wrong people are getting killed
00:46:40well gentlemen thank you for the use of the hall doc I've been wanting to ask you
00:46:51doctor about drugging a man into a condition where he reacts hypnotically
00:46:54to suggestions he's going to die for a medical amateur you possess the most
00:46:58professional curiosity mr Packard thank you doctor I didn't really need to ask you
00:47:03that I could have told you a man told over and over again that he's going to die
00:47:07finally becomes hypnotized to the idea I could also have told you that playing
00:47:13with a barrel can is dangerous business man got his throat cut last night there's no
00:47:19telling who'll be next
00:47:26may I help you sir yes I'd like to see mr. Justin Reeves is he in have you an appointment no just say it's Jack Packard friend of Mrs. Jefferson Monk tell him it's important
00:47:33I'll see if mr. Reeves is free
00:47:57you wish to see me mr. Reeves yes my clerk tells me that you mentioned the name of Mrs. Monk
00:48:17yes when I saw the word orientalist on your window I half expected to see someone done up in embroidered robes and eating with chopsticks really mr. Packard
00:48:24what can I do for you you can help me if you will mrs. Monk said you're the finest
00:48:28authority on the orient the city mrs. Monk is very kind yes isn't she you know I've
00:48:34been to a dozen shops like this before I came here but yours is the first where
00:48:37anyone knew mrs. Jefferson Monk's name right off that's odd mrs. Monk is quite a
00:48:42collector of oriental art I know but they don't seem to know her at any of the
00:48:45other stores she said you might be able to give me some information about a secret
00:48:49religious organization known as the Baruchan oh the orient is full of secret
00:48:54religious societies there may be a Baruchan although I've never heard of
00:48:58it but then why should I if it's a secret society just what I told mrs. Monk
00:49:03what do you play mr. Reeves a little do you recognize this
00:49:12should I Jefferson Monk heard it played by a street musician in Bakyab now what do
00:49:19you suppose a street musician in far-off Bakyab was doing playing an oboe part
00:49:23written by Tchaikovsky what do you want why I told you mrs. Monk
00:49:29mrs. Monk didn't tell you anything that's a rather positive statement mr. Reeves one
00:49:34doesn't make positive statements without foundation I take it you've had occasion
00:49:38to talk to mrs. Monk recently well you see I I happen to know mrs. Monk very well she
00:49:44would have told me don't bother it's out of my hands now anyway what do you mean
00:49:49the thieves have fallen out the one called the face got his throat cut last
00:49:53night there may be others there's no Chinese proverb better one more good man
00:49:59on earth than another angel in heaven good day mr. Reeves or should I say mr. G
00:50:05there's certain to be more murders and soon we've got to act quickly evidence points to both
00:50:33killings being by the same person which bears out what you've just told me I don't
00:50:38know who killed gene and peg leg but I have an idea for finding out it's a long
00:50:41chance but it may work if it does we'll have saved a couple of lives that's the
00:50:44business of this department what are you suggesting but you arrest me what I'm not
00:50:50kidding
00:50:54what's new captain anywhere in the killing with this case we've just had our
00:50:59first break in the knife murders I'm holding a man as material witness who
00:51:03knows the identity of the killer who is his name who is he however this man is
00:51:07standing on his constitutional rights and refuses to talk what's his angle say
00:51:10that again the man who's withholding the name of the killer is Jack Packard
00:51:14Jack Packard let me out
00:51:16packard you're a nine-day wonder what are the headlines you want to know you made
00:51:30them good you know somewhere the killers read one of those newspapers he thinks I
00:51:36know who he is naturally he wants to get to me before I decide to talk I want to
00:51:40fix it so he can get to me but you'll have to cooperate 100% what do I do
00:51:45tonight at nine o'clock I want a few backs turned in this jail
00:51:50in tune it's downright cozy all the comforts of home how'd you fix it place belongs to Munk
00:52:19I had to tell him your plan to get to borrow the joint.
00:52:22I'd like it better if no one knew.
00:52:24Monk will keep his mouth shut.
00:52:25Besides, he's the only one who could fix it with the night watchman.
00:52:28Listen, I want you to send identical telegrams to Ellen Monk, Reeves, Dr. Hahn, and Osgood, the nurse.
00:52:35Tell them I'm hiding here and that I'm ready to talk business after 12 o'clock tonight.
00:52:40Okay.
00:52:49Is Monk here?
00:52:55He hasn't left the house all day.
00:52:57Stay shut up in that drawing room playing his violin.
00:53:00Just in case...
00:53:00No, no, no, not here.
00:53:01I'll see you when I leave.
00:53:19Good evening, Osgood.
00:53:29Keep your hands off me.
00:53:33Is everyone here?
00:53:35Yes, we're all here now.
00:53:43Well, I think we should drop the whole secret.
00:53:45Please!
00:53:46If we quarrel among ourselves, everything will be lost.
00:53:52Well, as far as I'm concerned, everything is lost now.
00:53:55I say it's not.
00:53:56Don't you see the fact that Jack Packard sends each of us a telegram proves that he's bluffing?
00:54:00He doesn't know who the killer is.
00:54:03Yes, but it also proves that Packard suspects one of us.
00:54:06He must have a reason.
00:54:08He hasn't any reason.
00:54:10We're not going to stop now.
00:54:13Not when we're within one day of two million dollars.
00:54:16I'm more interested in knowing there's someone who kills off two of our members.
00:54:21Who gains by their death?
00:54:23Except someone in this room.
00:54:26Don't look at me.
00:54:27That's no way to get exactly...
00:54:29Listen.
00:54:29We'd better go.
00:54:32We shouldn't find us here.
00:54:34Justin, stay.
00:54:35The rest of you go.
00:54:37And remember, tomorrow we go ahead as we planned.
00:54:40What do you think they are plotting now?
00:54:52Which one of us will be next?
00:54:53You must be insane to talk about going ahead with this.
00:55:01Those two detectives have seen through everything.
00:55:03They're suspicious, but they can't prove a thing.
00:55:06I should think you'd be as eager as I am.
00:55:08Think what it means to both of us.
00:55:10Now they're too less to share.
00:55:12Who is it?
00:55:13It's I, Ellen.
00:55:14May I come in?
00:55:15Over there behind the drapes.
00:55:17Wait a minute.
00:55:23I'll press the buzzer.
00:55:34Oh, are you alone?
00:55:37I thought I heard voices.
00:55:39A man's voice.
00:55:42I suppose a man who's scheduled to lose his head tomorrow is apt to hear all sorts of things.
00:55:46Jefferson, please.
00:55:48I forgot.
00:55:49It distresses you to be reminded of my fate, doesn't it, dear?
00:55:53Forgive me.
00:55:58I can't get it out of my head that I heard a man's voice.
00:56:05I was thinking of that wonderful story by Balzac.
00:56:08Of the man who suspected his wife's lover was hiding in her room.
00:56:12When she denied the man was there, he asked that I swear on the Bible.
00:56:15And she did.
00:56:17Then he sent for a stonemason and had the closet where the lover was hiding sealed up with bricks.
00:56:29Would you like to swear?
00:56:32Jefferson, please don't joke about such things.
00:56:36I didn't intend to upset you.
00:56:40Good night.
00:56:41He would have been quite dramatic, if you had sworn, wouldn't he?
00:56:48I tell you, Packard put him onto us.
00:57:01How could he when he doesn't even know himself?
00:57:03But what he doesn't know, he's guessed, and that's enough for me.
00:57:06Besides, there's Pop Anderson and Jean.
00:57:08I don't know who killed them, but I'm not taking any chance on being next.
00:57:12I'm getting out.
00:57:12You can't, Justin.
00:57:13You can't.
00:57:14You've got me into this.
00:57:16You've got to stand by me now.
00:57:19I'm sorry, Ellen.
00:57:20Though I know when I've lost.
00:57:23Goodbye.
00:57:23Justin!
00:57:24Wait.
00:57:25Justin!
00:57:26Wait.
00:57:27Justin!
00:57:28Justin!
00:57:29Justin!
00:57:30Justin!
00:57:31Justin!
00:57:32Justin!
00:57:33Justin!
00:57:34Justin!
00:57:36Justin!
00:57:37Justin!
00:57:38Justin!
00:57:39Justin!
00:57:40Justin!
00:57:41Justin!
00:57:42Justin!
00:57:43Justin!
00:57:44Justin!
00:57:45Justin!
00:57:46Justin!
00:57:47Justin!
00:57:48Justin!
00:57:49Justin!
00:57:50Justin!
00:57:51Justin!
00:57:52Oh
00:58:22Who is it?
00:58:52Oh
00:59:00Why Ellen
00:59:02You're standing
00:59:06What a miraculous recovery
00:59:10I heard a cry outside
00:59:12Jefferson, please, may I have my chair?
00:59:18Why?
00:59:20You don't need it anymore
00:59:22In fact, you never did need it, did you?
00:59:38How you must have hated me
00:59:40Resorting to such cruelty
00:59:44Driving me to insanity or suicide
00:59:46It's not true
00:59:48I let you suffer
00:59:50The way you let me suffer
00:59:52I want you to feel a cold breath of fear
00:59:54As I felt it
00:59:56Day after day
00:59:58Night after night
01:00:00Until your nerves scream as mine screamed
01:00:02You're guilty
01:00:04Down to the last bitter drop
01:00:08You're mad
01:00:14When I found out what you were trying to do to me
01:00:16My fear became courage
01:00:18The courage to kill
01:00:20All of you
01:00:22Justine Reeves
01:00:24Justine Reeves is outside there
01:00:26Dead
01:00:28His throat
01:00:30His throat
01:00:32Then...
01:00:34Then you're the killer
01:00:36Yes
01:00:56Okay, reach
01:00:58What are you doing here?
01:01:00You startled me
01:01:02I was looking for you
01:01:03What's the matter?
01:01:04There's been a change of plan
01:01:05The police have surrounded the killer
01:01:07Out on Cloverdale Road
01:01:08Oh, that's what all them sirens was about
01:01:10Well, I better go tell Jack
01:01:12Well, I better go tell Jack
01:01:42Stay as you are, please
01:02:10I'll have to borrow your gun
01:02:12I like to hold all the trunks
01:02:15So you're the gentleman who's so handy with a knife
01:02:18I should have known
01:02:19Don't apologize, Mr. Packard
01:02:21When your friend asked to borrow the warehouse
01:02:24I gathered there was an elaborate ruse to smoke out the killer
01:02:27If you knew I didn't suspect you
01:02:28Why did you come here and expose yourself?
01:02:30Because I knew that if you didn't suspect me now
01:02:33It was only a matter of time until you did
01:02:35You see how I respect your detecting ability
01:02:38So I said to myself
01:02:40Why wait?
01:02:41Mr. Packard must be killed
01:02:46Step over there, please
01:02:50The light's better
01:02:51And I'd feel a little more comfortable with the piano between us
01:02:54You're not going to get away with this
01:02:57You're not going to get away with this
01:02:59The neighborhood is alive with policemen
01:03:02No, Mr. Packard
01:03:04They've all gone
01:03:06Someone told the police about another knife killing
01:03:09Out near my home
01:03:11Who was it this time?
01:03:12He called himself an orientalist
01:03:15He also called himself Mr. G
01:03:20Yes, it was Mr. G
01:03:22But as Mr. Reeves, he and I had never met
01:03:25That is until tonight
01:03:26I
01:03:29I suppose you're going to kill them all
01:03:31Your wife included
01:03:33Yes
01:03:35After a while
01:03:37My wife too
01:03:39What are you waiting for?
01:03:41Come on, get the killing over with
01:03:42I want to appease my curiosity
01:03:45I understand your deductions about the music
01:03:49But how did you come to suspect my wife?
01:03:52Your portrait on the miniature
01:03:54Why?
01:03:56Your wife had someone copy your photograph on ivory
01:03:59I knew from your description it was neither old nor oriental
01:04:03The ancients did not use lights and shadows
01:04:06Chiaroscuro as Wade Yeo
01:04:09Then when I saw the footprint on your wife's windowsill
01:04:12What a mind you have
01:04:14It's a pity, Mr. Packard, to stop it from working forever
01:04:18Or really a pity
01:04:22For the first time, we're in complete agreement
01:04:25Tell me, how did you arrive at the same conclusions I did?
01:04:29I went to Dr. Hahn and offered him more than the others were giving him
01:04:33He told me everything
01:04:37Bribery hadn't occurred to me
01:04:39None of them realized they were hanging me the opportunity for the perfect murder
01:04:43The murder without suspicion
01:04:47Really?
01:04:49So you see, Mr. Packard
01:04:51Why you too must be killed
01:04:53Are you ready?
01:04:55You ain't never gonna get me
01:04:59L servicio
01:05:01You're gonna get me
01:05:03If he's killed
01:05:05No endroit
01:05:07You're gonna get me
01:05:08Not in the middle
01:05:10You're gonna get me
01:05:12Oft
01:05:14Good
01:05:16You're gonna get me
01:05:18I'm gonna get you
01:05:20I'm gonna take me
01:05:21Come on.
01:05:51Come on.
01:06:21I have your partner, Mr. Packard.
01:06:30Are you coming out?
01:06:33Or shall I kill him with your gun?
01:06:36Don't do it, Jack. He's got to shoot me anyhow.
01:06:39I'll count three.
01:06:42One.
01:06:45Two.
01:06:46Stay where you're at, Jack.
01:06:47One, two, three.
01:06:58There he goes.
01:07:10Yeah, he won't go far. In a few minutes, every cop in town will be looking for you.
01:07:22Oh, how horrible.
01:07:24Take me away. I can't look.
01:07:26His head.
01:07:27It must have happened when he was thrown through the windshield.
01:07:41Money, money.
01:07:42All the world is meant for money.
01:07:45Except Mrs. Monk and her friends.
01:07:47As guests of the state, they won't need any.
01:07:50Doggone.
01:07:51What started out to be a real honest-to-goodness mystery just boils itself down to being as simple as A, B, C.
01:07:57Maybe.
01:07:57But there's one note of mystery that's not been explained.
01:08:01What happened to Jefferson Monk's head?
01:08:04Hey, you mean the prophecy?
01:08:07Maybe there was something after all?
01:08:09Who can say?
01:08:12The simple bells of far shone sea toll a dawn and a dusk.
01:08:17The simple bells of刀ok.
01:08:30You may be okay.
01:08:30Go现arner.
01:08:31You may be okay.
01:08:31Over him.
01:08:32Okay.
01:08:32Hey, you are gonna love him.
01:08:33Hey, you are gonna love him.
01:08:34I'll love you.
01:08:35That's good.
01:08:35muss me.
01:08:36Ha, you are gonna be okay.
01:08:36Oh, come on.
01:08:37Who can you ahead?
01:08:38Bet you may be okay.
01:08:39Will have me, what do you need?
01:08:40Mountips.
01:08:40You may make this new song.
01:08:41Theichtlich.
01:08:43Well, I feel wise, man.
01:08:44The bayou.
01:08:45That's great.
01:08:45God.
01:08:46And you, I, I pray.
01:08:47Yeah.
