00:04:58prove my innocence. We can't get Wyatt. He's been dead eight years. Wyatt dead? Yeah. When did you know him? When you were both convicts in state prison 20 years ago? Dad! Tell them you were never in prison. It's true, June, but don't worry. It's all a mistake, as these men will soon learn. I'll be back quickly.
00:05:28I'm glad you dropped in, Charlie. But you never stay long enough. Only come to say goodbye. Government work keep me hopping like dissatisfied flea from dog to dog. Even now, automobile and assistance outside loaded for trip to distant cities.
00:05:58Uh, automobile loaded, not assistance. Tony, Dad's final appeal has been denied. Why didn't you tell me? Why did you let me learn it from the newspapers? June, dear, I phoned you several times. You were out. Well, we've got to keep trying. June, I know the strain you're under, but breaking down won't help. Dad has only nine days to live. You know that he's innocent. I've always believed that. Or as public defender, I'd never have carried the case so far. If Dad dies, the law will have killed an innocent man. The law convicts only on evidence of guilt.
00:06:29June, this is an old friend of mine, Charlie Chan. Miss Harley. Miss Harley? Oh, I followed Thomas Harley's case all through trial. What did you think of the case against, Mr. Harley? Case seemed quite perfect. Almost too perfect. Dad is innocent, no matter what anyone says. June, dear. We have only a few days left. We've got to do something. Where can I get a good private detective? Well, that idea's useless. Tony, if you won't give me the name of a detective, I'll find one myself. June, we haven't a chance.
00:06:52My entire staff tracked down every bit of evidence that might help. It was no use. I'm sorrier than you'll ever know to have to say it, but there's nothing we can do. One thing can be done. What's that, Charlie? Give young lady name of detective. Who would you suggest? Young fellow whom Mr. Morgan recommend. Call on detective tonight. Charlie, what can one man do against the entire legal force of the state? Ancient proverbs say,
00:07:22What name did he give you? Whoever the man is, he hasn't the ghost of a chance. Then I admire him for trying to do the impossible.
00:07:28All packed, Mr. Chan. Tidy the toothpaste of the tooth. We worked four long hours at it, Pop. Excellent, excellent. It is finest job of packing you have ever done. Thanks, Pop. Thank you.
00:07:55Car, okay? Oh, yes. All oil and grease. Yes, and a tank full of gas. Good. Now we will go back to a hotel. What for? To unpack baggage. I will sit in car while you two enjoy nervous breakdown. Oh.
00:08:14Ain't that something. After we packed the bags, better than we ever packed them before. Now that's what your Pop said. Yep. Then we had to unpack everything. It took us four hours of hard work. Yeah.
00:08:24You know what it told me? I got a headache. A headache? Mm-hmm. I don't know where I got it, but I got one. Always sitting. Wish you would wear out brains instead of seat of pants. Pop, we have been thinking. Most impossible. Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Chan. We've been thinking. And now you have a headache.
00:08:41Hey, how did he know that? Now in a case like this, what would confusion say? It's not confusion. It's Confucius. Every time you open your mouth, it's confusion to me. Hey, you hear that one brain knocking? That's you. That's the door. Uh-oh. That's me.
00:09:00Mr. Chan. Right over that way, ma'am. Thank you.
00:09:07Good evening, Miss Harley. Mr. Chan, I don't know how to thank you. I feel the same way, Mr. Chan. Please, you must not mention thanks until I have done something useful. Mr... Oh, this is Hugh Kenzie, Mr. Chan. I phoned him at the prison immediately after you took the case.
00:09:24I'm a sergeant guard at the state prison. I drove to town as soon as possible to congratulate June on obtaining your services.
00:09:29I wanted Hugh to tell Dad. Mr. Harley feels that he has a chance with you on his side.
00:09:34I'm detective, not magician. You must not expect too much on short notice.
00:09:39But we have only nine days.
00:09:41Honorable grandmother always say, do not think of future. It come too soon.
00:09:47Police report on Harley's case show very little upon which to work.
00:09:51You mean there's nothing you can do?
00:09:53Merely mean we must look somewhere else.
00:09:55But where?
00:09:56Place where you live.
00:09:57Why look there?
00:09:58Mr. Harley taken from there.
00:10:00He is like tooth which has been pulled.
00:10:02Tooth is missing, but gap remained.
00:10:04From gap, we may deduce why tooth is gone.
00:10:07We go now to the hospital.
00:10:09Tooth is missing, but gap remained.
00:10:11From gap, we may deduce why tooth is gone.
00:10:15We go now to Foss Hotel.
00:10:23Sitting assistants, you will please get back containing exhibits and follow me.
00:10:28Okay, Pop.
00:10:29Boy, a murder case.
00:10:30Come on, let's hurry.
00:10:31Hurry?
00:10:32Why do you always have to hurry to a murder?
00:10:35Why can't you just ooze on down to one?
00:10:38I ain't never seen nobody.
00:10:39Every time they start, they got to hurry to a murder.
00:10:45I've told you that's all I know.
00:10:47Very sorry, but urgency of case require I ask few more questions.
00:10:52Being a detective is an ugly trade.
00:10:54Ugliest trade sometimes have moment of joy.
00:10:58Even Gravedigger knows some people for whom he would do his work with extreme pleasure.
00:11:04I'm sorry I said that. It just slipped out.
00:11:06Many such slip might solve mystery. Please continue.
00:11:10That's all I have to say.
00:11:12That's what women always say, yet go right on talking.
00:11:16You are a social worker?
00:11:19Yes.
00:11:20You sometimes take in lodger who is ex-convict, hoping to rehabilitate same?
00:11:26Often. What's wrong with that?
00:11:28Nothing. Very fine civic duty.
00:11:30Mr. Harley lived in this house for fifteen years.
00:11:34So, you must have known he was ex-convict when he first entered this house.
00:11:38I did. I tried to help him.
00:11:40You tried to help him by informing police he is ex-convict.
00:11:44He betrayed my trust in him by committing robbery and murder.
00:11:47After he said he meant to go straight.
00:11:49Fifteen years after.
00:11:51What about note which Mr. Harley received asking him to go to Cary's theatrical warehouse?
00:11:59Same was written on your typewriter, Mrs. Foss.
00:12:02It was, but Tom Harley borrowed my typewriter two days before the bank robbery.
00:12:07Even so, you could have written note before crime occurred.
00:12:11So could anyone else in this house.
00:12:14Thank you so much.
00:12:16Mr. Kinsey, you would please ask all others to come inside.
00:12:20You have no other ex-convict living in this hotel?
00:12:24No, I have not.
00:12:32You work for a social foundation, Miss Patri?
00:12:35Afternoons as a typist.
00:12:38Strange note received by Mr. Harley asking him to come to Cary's theatrical warehouse.
00:12:44Was written by someone who was excellent typist.
00:12:48Oh, go on, leave her alone, mister.
00:12:50She uses a seek and sock system.
00:12:52I've seen her practicing.
00:12:53On Mrs. Foss's typewriter.
00:12:55You make much money as typist?
00:12:58No.
00:12:59No?
00:13:00Yet you wear most expensive clothes.
00:13:02Most of my clothes are given to me by people at the foundation.
00:13:06Mr. Johnson, you are a public accountant.
00:13:15Yes.
00:13:16You have owned business?
00:13:17Yes, I do all the bookkeeping for several small business firms.
00:13:21One of your business firms is Cary Theatrical Warehouse?
00:13:26But the police knew that.
00:13:28They proved that when Harley was in the Cary place, I was across the city working for another client.
00:13:33Now, Mr. Danvers, you were in both cities of Lamont and Rodden shortly before banks were robbed there.
00:13:43You had me worried for a minute, but you're right, I was in both cities, often.
00:13:50You also visit banks which were robbed, including Citizens State Bank here.
00:13:55I visit banks all over the state on business.
00:13:58The police got those for me during the Harley trial.
00:14:02You sell tear gas bombs and burglar alarm equipment to banks?
00:14:05Yes, sir.
00:14:06It's my job to protect banks.
00:14:08With your knowledge of banks, could you not be a very great assistance to someone wishing to rob same?
00:14:15Now, wait a minute.
00:14:17If you're trying to accuse me...
00:14:19Merely suggest what you could do, if dishonest.
00:14:23Speaking of clothes, Miss Evans...
00:14:28Listen, I buy my own clothes.
00:14:30Nobody gives me anything.
00:14:32Of course, if somebody was to offer me a mink coat, I wouldn't refuse it.
00:14:37During an investigation of Cary Warehouse, a dress with your name on it was found there.
00:14:43Huh? A dress of mine?
00:14:44A very small dress, consisting of a few feathers.
00:14:49Oh, yeah, I remember.
00:14:51Oh, mister, you should have seen me in that outfit.
00:14:55But I had nothing to do with Harley.
00:14:57I wore that costume in frivolous follies.
00:15:00But the show finally flopped.
00:15:02Carey's must have bought the props, scenery, and all the costumes for junk.
00:15:05But your show play, Cities of Lamont and Rawdon, at same time banks were robbed there.
00:15:11In identical manner, which Citizens State Bank robbed here.
00:15:15Listen, are you trying to pin something on me?
00:15:17No, merely that moment trying to figure how you pin upon yourself such very few feathers.
00:15:23Oh, very cute.
00:15:26That will be sufficient for present. All may go now.
00:15:35Did you learn anything that will help, Mr. Chan?
00:15:37No, tomorrow we'll visit prison and interview your father.
00:15:41Tell him not to worry and tell him we're doing everything.
00:15:43I said all may go, which include you, Miss Evans.
00:15:47I heard you the first time.
00:15:50Are you going to leave now, Mr. Chan?
00:15:52Invitation to depart also include you, Mrs. Foss.
00:15:55This is my house, and I'll do as I like.
00:15:59Mr. Chan, if I can be of any help, I'll get a leave of absence from my job and come down here...
00:16:01No, Hugh, you can't afford to do that.
00:16:02Miss Harley is right.
00:16:03You return to job.
00:16:04I send for you when I need you.
00:16:05Mr. Chan, I'm scared.
00:16:06We only have nine days.
00:16:07Take it easy, dear, please.
00:16:08Excellent.
00:16:09I'm sorry, Mr. Chan.
00:16:10I'm scared.
00:16:11We only have nine days.
00:16:12Take it easy, dear.
00:16:13Please.
00:16:14Excellent.
00:16:15Advice.
00:16:16Remember old saying, earthquake may shatter the rock, but sand upon which rock stood,
00:16:22still right there in same old place.
00:16:24You relax, and you survive great ordeal.
00:16:28Mr. Chan, is this the shortest way to prison?
00:16:31No, shortest way to prison.
00:16:33No, shortest way to prison.
00:16:35No, shortest way to prison.
00:16:38No, no.
00:16:39No, no.
00:16:40No, no.
00:16:41No, no.
00:16:42No, no.
00:16:43No, no.
00:16:44No, shortest way is to commit crime.
00:16:46We'll have to try that sometime.
00:16:48What am I saying?
00:16:49You surprise yourself, huh?
00:16:52Usually, you surprise me.
00:17:01Did you see that bee come through here with that jet job motor?
00:17:04Someone's shooting at us, Pop.
00:17:07Where's Birmingham?
00:17:08The car's going by itself.
00:17:09No, it ain't.
00:17:10I was steering by remote control.
00:17:11Do you know who was shooting at us, Pop?
00:17:13How many persons know we come this way are people living at Paz Hotel.
00:17:16This is going to be very, very dangerous.
00:17:43I'm awfully glad to see you, Charlie.
00:17:45I think, uh...
00:17:46As old friend warden came around, you think what?
00:17:49You're throwing away your reputation.
00:17:51I mean it.
00:17:52You haven't a chance in breaking this case.
00:17:54But if I fail, Mr. Harley will die.
00:17:56What is my reputation compared to man's life?
00:17:59Oh, I know how you feel, but I still think you're being foolish.
00:18:02Then why someone shoot at me on way here?
00:18:05Huh?
00:18:06Because they think I'm on right track.
00:18:08Perhaps I am not so foolish.
00:18:11Oh, this is guard Kenzie, Mr. Chan.
00:18:14Oh, I've already met, Mr. Kenzie.
00:18:16Mr. Harley's anxious to see you, sir.
00:18:17Okay.
00:18:18He should get resigned to the fact that he hasn't got a chance.
00:18:20Bill's sitting.
00:18:23Sit again.
00:18:25Remain where you are.
00:18:27Oh, warden.
00:18:28Mr. Barker wanted the print files on that new batch that just came in, sir.
00:18:34Oh, yes.
00:18:35In my office.
00:18:36Go right ahead, Kenzie.
00:18:37One moment.
00:18:38I have seen you before.
00:18:40I don't know.
00:18:41But I've seen you.
00:18:43You're Charlie Chan.
00:18:44And you are...
00:18:45Number 8251.
00:18:49He's Jimmy Slate, a forger.
00:18:51He's a trustee in the fingerprint file room now.
00:18:54Did you see that man give Pop the eye?
00:18:56You mean a tough guy?
00:18:57Yeah.
00:18:58You mean a convict?
00:18:59Mm-hmm.
00:19:00No.
00:19:01Well, Birmingham round.
00:19:02Well, look at old Benjamin.
00:19:03What do you say, boy?
00:19:06Not much.
00:19:07Man, it's sure good to see a new face around here.
00:19:09Yeah, but this face ain't staying.
00:19:11Neither is mine.
00:19:17It's Mr. Chan to see you, Mr. Harley.
00:19:21I've been waiting to see you, Mr. Chan.
00:19:23Sorry to see you here, Mr. Harley, but great pleasure to meet you anywhere.
00:19:27I don't know what I'm going to say.
00:19:29Please, sit down.
00:19:31Yeah!
00:19:32Birmingham, you're always late, even coming to see me.
00:19:35Don't you ever do anything on time?
00:19:36Sure.
00:19:37I bought a car once.
00:19:38How?
00:19:39On time.
00:19:40You know what made me late, Benjamin?
00:19:41What?
00:19:42I had to take my girl over to...
00:19:43No beauty shop can help her.
00:19:44No.
00:19:45Why, no.
00:19:46Why, she got a face that old...
00:19:47Not that bad.
00:19:48The lady at the beauty parlor said that she was going to...
00:19:50They can't recap them wrinkles.
00:19:51No?
00:19:52No.
00:19:53Now, what they should do is...
00:19:54They did.
00:19:55And while we was over there, do you know what...
00:19:57I know, I know.
00:19:59Now, look.
00:20:00Is that the same gal...
00:20:01No, she don't weigh that much now.
00:20:02No?
00:20:03No, all she weighs now is, uh...
00:20:04That's still too heavy.
00:20:06Why don't you get her to go on the same diet my gal used?
00:20:09Get her to take two...
00:20:10Oh, they don't make that stuff anymore.
00:20:12No?
00:20:13No, now, what I want to give her is some...
00:20:14That'll give her hay fever.
00:20:15Yeah?
00:20:16Why, sure.
00:20:17Listen.
00:20:18Hmm?
00:20:19In that case, why don't you take her over to...
00:20:21I did.
00:20:22And you know who I saw over there?
00:20:23Who?
00:20:24I saw...
00:20:25Is he still out there?
00:20:26Yeah.
00:20:27I thought he was...
00:20:28He was, but he got out.
00:20:29Is that so?
00:20:30Yeah.
00:20:31He's staying over with Mr...
00:20:32Is that so?
00:20:33Mm-hmm.
00:20:34They must be charging...
00:20:35No, not that much.
00:20:36No?
00:20:37No, all he's paying is...
00:20:38That's a fair price.
00:20:39Yeah?
00:20:40Well, look here.
00:20:41I got to go now.
00:20:42I'll be over to see you.
00:20:43I'll be working then.
00:20:44Oh, well, I'll be seeing you.
00:20:45I'll be looking for you now.
00:20:46Okay.
00:20:47Who is that man?
00:20:48Oh, he's a fellow who used to hang around my house.
00:20:51That's my brother, Ben.
00:20:52Oh, you're...
00:20:56Your wife died while you were in prison 20 years ago?
00:20:59When June was born.
00:21:01I never told June because I...
00:21:03I meant to go straight.
00:21:05And I have, Mr. Chan.
00:21:07But your fingerprints found in Bank Vault.
00:21:10Yes, I know.
00:21:11I saw the photographs in court.
00:21:13They were my prints, but...
00:21:15I was never in that bank in my life.
00:21:20You don't believe me.
00:21:21Well, I'm beginning to think that maybe I did commit the crimes they sentenced me for.
00:21:26Never believe nightmare, no matter how real it may seem.
00:21:31When you're here 20 years ago, was Warden Cameron here also?
00:21:36Yes, he was.
00:21:38Ready to go, Mr. Chan?
00:21:39Yes, please.
00:21:40Don't you worry, Mr. Harley.
00:21:42Mr. Chan, do you think there's any hope?
00:21:45There is possibility you may suffer for someone else's crime.
00:21:49But if someone else committed a crime, then Mr. Chan...
00:21:52What are you going to do?
00:21:55That moment I'm like man trying to set clock by guess.
00:21:59And as time does not stand still, perhaps better not stand still myself.
00:22:04Are you sure you know what you're talking about?
00:22:09When he says, now let's turn to one corner and you says another.
00:22:13I don't...
00:22:14I wonder where this parade is going.
00:22:16I don't know, let's follow it and see.
00:22:17No, we better not.
00:22:19Hey, Punchy, you know what I heard too? The grapevine?
00:22:23Don't be always interrupting me, Punchy.
00:22:25Charlie Chan is here.
00:22:26You know what I'm going to do when I see that chant?
00:22:31Did you hear what that man said about Pop?
00:22:32I ain't doubt.
00:22:33I think we better follow them.
00:22:34What did you say just a while ago when I said let's follow them?
00:22:36Come on.
00:22:37No, that ain't what you said.
00:22:40Right this way, man.
00:22:49They went in here.
00:22:50Come on.
00:22:51Hey, you don't want to go in there, do you?
00:22:52Look, you heard what they said about Pop.
00:22:54We gotta find out what they're up to.
00:22:55Okay, okay.
00:23:00There they are. See them?
00:23:01Yeah.
00:23:02The men we were following are hiding behind these bales.
00:23:19Maybe we better hide to keep them from falling on us.
00:23:21We'll sneak up on them.
00:23:22There you go.
00:23:23We'll sneak up again, Punchy.
00:23:25How many times do I gotta tell you that ain't the way to do it?
00:23:28You slash once when you want to finish something.
00:23:31Now, do you want to know how to do it?
00:23:33Don't interrupt.
00:23:34You take the stab like this.
00:23:36Once the job is done and it's neat.
00:23:41Do you hear me, Punchy?
00:23:43That's the way you do it.
00:23:45One slash.
00:23:49They are planning a murder.
00:23:50We gotta find out who he's gonna kill.
00:23:52We gonna find out.
00:23:53You gonna find out.
00:23:54Okay.
00:23:55Wait a minute.
00:24:01Come on.
00:24:02Come on.
00:24:03Come on.
00:24:04Come on.
00:24:05Come on.
00:24:06Come on.
00:24:07Come on.
00:24:08Come on.
00:24:09Come on.
00:24:10Come on.
00:24:11Come on.
00:24:12Come on.
00:24:13Come on.
00:24:14They're still coming.
00:24:15They're right behind us.
00:24:16Yeah, they're in that crowd.
00:24:17We can't see them.
00:24:18Let's go.
00:24:19I can never see them.
00:24:20Good, Chris.
00:24:21They're all inside.
00:24:27Hey, look.
00:24:28They're coming now.
00:24:29Do you see them?
00:24:30Yeah.
00:24:31No.
00:24:32Let's go this way.
00:24:33Down the hall.
00:24:34Come on.
00:24:35Let's go.
00:24:36Oh, please.
00:24:37Get out of here.
00:24:38Here they come again.
00:24:39Goodness, Chris.
00:24:46Feuglers.
00:24:47You better count your money.
00:24:49Don't be always interrupted, Punchy.
00:24:50Count it.
00:24:51Come on, you guys.
00:24:52Get out of here.
00:24:53Come on.
00:24:54Are you two guys following me?
00:24:55No, sir.
00:24:56We got here first, but you can have it.
00:24:57Listen, mister.
00:24:58It's all a mistake.
00:24:59Why do you mean a mistake?
00:25:00I'm not telling you.
00:25:01Look at that, Tommy.
00:25:02This door's locked.
00:25:03How can we get out of here?
00:25:04Hey, fellas.
00:25:05There's a visitor here, and he wants to know how we can get out.
00:25:09Oh, this isn't that funny.
00:25:10Mr. Champs.
00:25:11Hey, Pop.
00:25:12Mr. Champs.
00:25:13Let him have one of your keys.
00:25:15Then you're not quitting the case.
00:25:17No.
00:25:18If you talk with Mr. Harley, I'm convinced a man is innocent.
00:25:21But, Charlie, the law doesn't frame men.
00:25:23Accidents can happen if planned that way.
00:25:27But Harley's fingerprints were found in the bank.
00:25:29My theory is fingerprints were forged and placed at scene of crime.
00:25:33Oh, no, Charlie.
00:25:35That's impossible.
00:25:36Nothing is impossible.
00:25:37Forgery is only solution.
00:25:40Must find out how same is done before too late for Mr. Harley.
00:25:45Pardon me, Charlie.
00:25:53Kevin, what's up?
00:25:54The riot.
00:25:55Well, what started the rioting?
00:25:57Just a reception to some strangers who got in the wrong cell.
00:26:02What strangers?
00:26:03Pop.
00:26:04Mr. Champs.
00:26:05Mr. Champs.
00:26:06Oh, oh, which way?
00:26:07Which way?
00:26:08Mr. Champs.
00:26:09Oh, OK, get up!
00:26:10Mr. Champs!
00:26:11Quiet now!
00:26:12Come on!
00:26:13Quiet now!
00:26:14Quiet!
00:26:15Quiet!
00:26:16Quiet!
00:26:17Quiet now!
00:26:18Quiet!
00:26:19Quiet!
00:26:20Quiet!
00:26:21Quiet!
00:26:22Quiet!
00:26:23Quiet!
00:26:24Quiet!
00:26:25Quiet!
00:26:26Quiet!
00:26:27Quiet!
00:26:28Quiet now!
00:26:29Quiet now!
00:26:30Right this way, Warden.
00:26:31Quiet!
00:26:32Quiet!
00:26:33Quiet!
00:26:34Quiet!
00:26:35Quiet!
00:26:36Quiet!
00:26:37Quiet!
00:26:38Pop, I'm sure glad to see you.
00:26:39Who's that, Mr. Champs?
00:26:40Yep.
00:26:41So.
00:26:42So even in prison you caused trouble?
00:26:44But it wasn't our fault, Pop.
00:26:45Mr. Champs, we followed the wrong parade.
00:26:47First time I hear cuckoos outside of Clark.
00:26:50But Pop, we heard them talking about you.
00:26:51Oh, Charlie, I heard you was here when I saw you.
00:26:53I wanted to shake your hand.
00:26:54Mr. Foggy, why, very great pleasure to see you again.
00:26:58Thanks.
00:26:59I trust you are enjoying vacation?
00:27:01Oh, sure.
00:27:02He put me in here.
00:27:03It took one of the greatest detectives in the world to do it.
00:27:05Oh, Mr. Chan, I want you to meet me pal, Punchy.
00:27:08Mr. Chan, this is undoubtedly the most supreme moment of my entire life.
00:27:14I stand here...
00:27:15Hey!
00:27:16Mr. Punchy, you're...
00:27:17Don't interrupt.
00:27:19Thank you, Mr. Chan.
00:27:20What are we gonna do now, Pop?
00:27:22You will get out of here before they put you in garments suitable to your personality.
00:27:26What kind of garments is that?
00:27:27Straightjackets.
00:27:28That did it.
00:27:30Punchy!
00:27:31You've been going in for illiterature!
00:27:38Your Mr. Thompson in this department has been most kind and helpful.
00:27:42Well, I'm glad, Charlie.
00:27:43We're proud of our staff.
00:27:52Hello.
00:27:53How have you come with the experiments so far, Mr. Thompson?
00:27:56No luck yet, Mr. Chan.
00:27:58I was afraid it couldn't be done.
00:28:00Well, the forging of fingerprints has been tried before, but it's never worked.
00:28:03However, Mr. Chan's theory of how it might be done has possibilities.
00:28:07I cut some rough ridges and whirls in these rubber pads, but...
00:28:14Same thing, no distinguishable fingerprints.
00:28:16No oil.
00:28:17That's right, sir.
00:28:18What do you mean, oil?
00:28:19There is always natural oil in hands.
00:28:22And that oil is what causes the fingerprint to remain after the hand touches the surface.
00:28:26I tried using regular fingerprint ink, but the lack of oil caused the blurring of the ink.
00:28:30No one would take that for a fingerprint.
00:28:32Perhaps if we obtain oil more like natural oil.
00:28:35Well, I tried using a thin mixture of olive oil, but the oil ran and smeared, and the result was no fingerprints.
00:28:41Looks like we're up against a stone wall, Charlie.
00:28:43I don't promise anything, but I'm going to keep on trying.
00:28:46No man can do more.
00:28:48I have more work to do yet in your department.
00:28:51I'm afraid it's no use, Charlie, but what do you want done?
00:28:53Please, have police quietly check back 10 to 15 years on all persons now living at Posse Hotel.
00:29:00Okay, but why?
00:29:01Skeletons in closets always speak loudest to police.
00:29:09I've been thinking, Tommy, you are wrong.
00:29:11You mean you are. You don't even know what a lawsuit is.
00:29:13Sure I do. It's something that the police wear.
00:29:16Are you kidding?
00:29:17Tommy!
00:29:18This is the last one, Pop.
00:29:20No more.
00:29:21Today's the 14th, and Harley's scheduled to die the 17th.
00:29:24What can you do reading all this stuff, Pop?
00:29:26Police reports show three banks robbed in past two years.
00:29:30Do you think Harley robbed all three of them, Pop?
00:29:33Son Tommy is noisy woodpecker on family tree.
00:29:36Woodpecker. I've got to remember that.
00:29:39Rawdon bank robbed, and man named Stanley Gray convicted.
00:29:43Lamont bank robbed, man named Stephen Briggs imprisoned.
00:29:47And Harley was set up for the bank job in this city.
00:29:49And all three banks robbed in identical manner.
00:29:52And no money was ever recovered.
00:29:55Also curious coincidence is, each man arrested in each case swear he leave no fingerprints in bank because he never there.
00:30:05Do you think Harley was in with the gang, Pop?
00:30:07Oh, he finished school now he tried to finish me.
00:30:11But, Pop.
00:30:12Mmm, mocho.
00:30:14Also in each case, each man have former prison record.
00:30:18Yes, Harley had been in state prison.
00:30:20Gray and Briggs, also former convicts there.
00:30:24It is only prison where all three men serve time.
00:30:27Want a good suggestion, Pop?
00:30:29Yes.
00:30:30But let me make suggestion first.
00:30:32Keep quiet.
00:30:33Oh, sure, Pop.
00:30:34But if I do, I won't be able to give you my suggestion.
00:30:37That is idea.
00:30:39Very good idea.
00:30:40I believe there is some connection between bank robberies, fingerprints, and the state's prison.
00:30:47What about your idea of forging fingerprints?
00:30:50Oh, for time I nursed theory.
00:30:53Very excellent theory.
00:30:55But now instead of nurse, I fear theory need undertaker.
00:30:59Hello.
00:31:02For you, Charlie.
00:31:05Oh.
00:31:06Charlie Chan speaking.
00:31:07We have that information you asked for.
00:31:09Do you wish to take it now?
00:31:11Yes, go ahead.
00:31:12Miss Petrie is actually the wife of Jimmy Slade,
00:31:15a convict trustee employed in the fingerprint bureau at the state prison.
00:31:19She has been visiting him there every month.
00:31:24Instead of undertaker, doctor arrived.
00:31:27And theory, now very healthy again.
00:31:32I see.
00:31:34Another thing, Miss Petrie, why you lie about clothes?
00:31:37I didn't.
00:31:38They were given to me.
00:31:39I learned different.
00:31:40Where do you obtain money to buy fine garments?
00:31:43I've done nothing wrong.
00:31:44Please.
00:31:45Where do you get money?
00:31:47Just because my husband's in prison, you...
00:31:49I'm not going to say another word.
00:31:51You will talk at police headquarters.
00:31:53Get your hat and coat.
00:31:54Miss Holly, you go with her.
00:31:56You think she's mixed up in this?
00:32:01We soon find out.
00:32:03Mrs. Foss, why you lie when I ask you if any other convict live in this house?
00:32:08I didn't.
00:32:09Miss Petrie's never been in prison.
00:32:11You didn't ask me about her husband.
00:32:13When young lady bear title Miss, she usually have no husband to be mentioned.
00:32:19I've seen Miss Petrie often.
00:32:22She's timid and shy.
00:32:24That's June.
00:32:35What happened?
00:32:36Someone chopped me.
00:32:37Miss Petrie?
00:32:38I don't know.
00:32:39I don't know who it was.
00:32:40It was someone in that room.
00:32:42Clothing undisturbed.
00:32:56What have you there?
00:32:57Nothing, Pop.
00:32:58Just some old telephone numbers.
00:33:03Name of Kerry Theatrical Warehouse appear often in this case.
00:33:07Find anything, Mr. Chan?
00:33:08Mr. Kenzie.
00:33:09You will ask police to locate Miss Petrie.
00:33:12I will try warehouse.
00:33:29Must be a woman by the top.
00:33:31Woman too sweet and gentle for that.
00:33:33No license plates.
00:33:39Mr. Kenzie.
00:33:40Maybe Miss Petrie arrived already.
00:33:49Take a look around.
00:33:50Quietly.
00:34:00Did you hear what Pop said?
00:34:01Sure.
00:34:02Your Pop said look around quietly.
00:34:04And that's just what I'm going to do.
00:34:05Look around quietly.
00:34:06Right here in the light.
00:34:07See?
00:34:08I always want to go in the dark. See, I'm going to look right around here in the night.
00:34:12See that? Ain't nothing to that.
00:34:20Tommy, see? Go ahead. Go in that dark and get lost.
00:34:24I don't care. I'm going to stay out here in the light.
00:34:26Always running around.
00:34:32That ain't real. Oh, boy. Oh, boy, that ain't real.
00:34:36But if anything happens, I want you to stay with me. Be dependable.
00:34:42Hey, Tommy. Tommy! Tommy!
00:35:06Oh, boy. Oh, oh, boy. Don't get excited now.
00:35:23He ain't real. He was real.
00:35:26Don't get excited now. He's in a trance, not us.
00:35:28Just stay with me, and I'll ask you when to go.
00:35:36I never heard of it. Oh, boy. Now, you don't have to worry now.
00:35:38Everything's all right. Just stay with me.
00:35:40I never see. They ought to have a cage or something for them lions around here.
00:35:44This house shorting is terrible. I ain't never... Whoa!
00:35:48Mmm. I heal a monster. This place is getting crowded.
00:35:53Brother, will you just move over just a little bit?
00:35:55Just hold that a little bit. Thank you. That's a plenty.
00:35:58Uh-oh.
00:36:00I'd never see nothing like this before in my life.
00:36:04Tommy.
00:36:06Give me my hat.
00:36:08Tommy, is that you got in my hat?
00:36:11Tommy, please say yes, you got in my hat.
00:36:16It ain't no kidding, either.
00:36:20Well, all of this warehouse you ain't seen get together, cause I'm gonna show it to you.
00:36:40Yeah, now let them come.
00:36:48I got them now where they can't get me.
00:36:50Now, ain't this all right?
00:36:52Wish I could have found this place a long time ago.
00:36:56Look at this.
00:36:58Good evening.
00:37:00Well, ain't this nice?
00:37:02Looks all right.
00:37:04Good gracious.
00:37:06Tommy.
00:37:07Tommy.
00:37:08Tommy.
00:37:09Mr. Doorman.
00:37:10Mr. Doorman.
00:37:11Mr. Doorman.
00:37:12You better open that door.
00:37:13If you don't, you're gonna lose it.
00:37:14Good gracious.
00:37:15Oh, my goodness.
00:37:16Go away.
00:37:17Good gracious.
00:37:18Mr. Jack.
00:37:19Good gracious.
00:37:20Tommy.
00:37:21Tommy.
00:37:22Tommy.
00:37:23Tommy.
00:37:24Tommy.
00:37:25Tommy.
00:37:26Tommy.
00:37:27Mr. Jack.
00:37:28Tommy.
00:37:29Tommy.
00:37:30Good gracious.
00:37:31Tommy.
00:37:32Tommy.
00:37:33Be quiet.
00:37:34Here I am.
00:37:35Oh, Tommy.
00:37:36How did it happen?
00:37:37How did what happened?
00:37:39You ain't got no clothes on, don't you?
00:37:40Don't you catch cold?
00:37:41Birmingham.
00:37:42Tommy, don't do that without you say something.
00:37:43Hey, is this you or is this you?
00:37:44Who is this?
00:37:45This is me.
00:37:46Be quiet.
00:37:47Oh, that you?
00:37:48I just can't help it.
00:37:49Tommy.
00:37:50Tommy.
00:37:51I'm all upset.
00:37:52Good gracious.
00:37:53I never...
00:37:54I never...
00:37:55I never...
00:37:56I never knew it.
00:37:57I never knew it.
00:37:58How many years were you doing?
00:37:59Tommy?
00:38:00Tommy.
00:38:01Tommy.
00:38:02Tommy.
00:38:03Tommy.
00:38:04Tommy.
00:38:05Tommy.
00:38:06Tommy.
00:38:07Tommy.
00:38:08Tommy.
00:38:09I've just got to sit down, I'm telling you, I'm just...
00:38:11Ow!
00:38:12Snake!
00:38:13Mr. Chan!
00:38:14Mr. Chan!
00:38:15Please, please.
00:38:16Didn't I tell you to look around quietly?
00:38:19I mean quietly.
00:38:21Go watch door.
00:38:23Yes, sir, that's the best thing I heard you said.
00:38:39Mr. Johnson.
00:38:57Mr. Johnson.
00:39:01Mr. Johnson.
00:39:07Hey, Pop.
00:39:09Hey, Pop.
00:39:10Oh, here you are, Pop.
00:39:12I didn't hear you come in.
00:39:14Strange you not hear us.
00:39:15My assistant make very much noise.
00:39:17Sorry, I didn't hear what you said.
00:39:19I have sinus trouble.
00:39:21At times, like tonight, it affects my hearing.
00:39:24Makes me slightly deaf.
00:39:26You not hear assistants make noise in warehouse?
00:39:28No, I didn't.
00:39:30No, I didn't.
00:39:31No, I didn't.
00:39:33No, I didn't.
00:39:34No, I didn't.
00:39:36No, I didn't.
00:39:37I couldn't.
00:39:38I'm very sorry for you.
00:39:40I say I'm very sorry for your affliction.
00:39:43Oh, thank you.
00:39:44If you'll excuse me, I have a bit of work to finish.
00:39:47You're deafness too convenient, Mr. Johnson.
00:40:00Good idea, huh, Pop?
00:40:02Yes.
00:40:03Your idea.
00:40:04My dollar.
00:40:05Give.
00:40:06Miss Petrie arrived here yet?
00:40:09Miss Petrie?
00:40:10I know she's never been here.
00:40:12Well, we expect her very soon.
00:40:15Mr. Chan, come quick!
00:40:16Mr. Chan!
00:40:23Mr. Chan, come here quick!
00:40:25That truck just went around and here it comes back again!
00:40:31Miss Petrie!
00:40:32Hey, look out!
00:40:45Miss Petrie is dead.
00:40:46Call the police.
00:40:47Yes, sir.
00:40:48Here's her purse pocket.
00:40:49No.
00:40:50I'm in a lady's purse.
00:40:53No, Mr. Chan, she didn't have her purse when she left.
00:40:56Well, no one went by me into her room.
00:40:59No, I won't say anything.
00:41:01Goodbye.
00:41:04I was right.
00:41:05Miss Petrie not have purse when she leave hotel.
00:41:08You mean she was murdered?
00:41:09By same truck which earlier tried to run down myself for desistance.
00:41:13But, Charlie, why was the purse left at the scene?
00:41:15To leave fingerprints and provide police with convenient murderer.
00:41:19Mr. Chan?
00:41:20Yes?
00:41:21I thought I recognized these prints.
00:41:22They were in my files.
00:41:23They belong to Lewis Mack, ex-convict.
00:41:25Lewis Mack, convict?
00:41:26Where?
00:41:27He served two sentences at State Prison.
00:41:30I'll have the police send out a call on him.
00:41:32No, not necessary.
00:41:33Instead, I myself will go to State Prison early tomorrow morning.
00:41:37What for?
00:41:38To prove someone there is helping to forge prints which convict innocent men.
00:41:43I will telephone you.
00:41:49Here are the cards you wanted from the fingerprint files, Mr. Chan.
00:42:07Four of them?
00:42:08Yes.
00:42:09The cards of Stanley Gray, Steve Briggs, Thomas Harley and Lewis Mack.
00:42:13Was not expecting card on Lewis Mack today.
00:42:16Why not?
00:42:17I got the cards on Gray and Briggs from the dead file.
00:42:20And day after tomorrow, Harley's card goes into that file.
00:42:23Believe Mr. Harley, we'll live longer than you think.
00:42:26You got something, Charlie?
00:42:27Bad men leave marks wherever they go.
00:42:30You will please have all of these cards examined for fingerprints other than those photographed here.
00:42:36Oh, there won't be anybody but mine.
00:42:38And maybe a couple of the trustee, Jimmy Slade.
00:42:41And mine perhaps.
00:42:42Can examine cards quickly?
00:42:44Right away.
00:42:45But Charlie, this business of forging fingerprints can't be done.
00:42:48Believe same has already been done.
00:42:51Through use of these cards to wrongly convict three innocent men.
00:42:56Briggs, Gray and Harley.
00:42:58Gray went out of his head. He died in the psycho ward here.
00:43:01And Briggs was in bad health when he was sentenced.
00:43:03Two months here finished him.
00:43:04I learned both men die protesting innocence.
00:43:07They swear fingerprints found in banks at Lamont and Rodden not placed there by themselves.
00:43:13And now Mr. Harley say...
00:43:15But Charlie, our prison cards couldn't be used to frame these men.
00:43:19We'll see as soon as Mr. Barker finish his examination.
00:43:23Okay, okay. This looks okay, huh?
00:43:26Let's sit down.
00:43:27Yeah, let's stay right here and keep out of trouble and wait for Mr. Chan.
00:43:30Well, Birmingham Brown.
00:43:32Oh, no.
00:43:33Not again.
00:43:34Well, look at old Benjamin.
00:43:37Hi, boy.
00:43:38How are you?
00:43:39I'm sure glad to see you.
00:43:40Yeah?
00:43:41Yeah.
00:43:42Is you still in?
00:43:43Is you still out?
00:43:44Oh, sure.
00:43:45Say, while you were out, did you run into him?
00:43:46Oh, yeah.
00:43:47I went over and I saw him.
00:43:48You see, nobody introduced us, so I walked up to him and I said...
00:43:51That's the wrong approach.
00:43:52Yeah?
00:43:53Sure.
00:43:54Why didn't you ask him that?
00:43:55I did.
00:43:56And we killed it.
00:43:57No.
00:43:58So I tried to borrow his...
00:43:59I thought the finance company got that.
00:44:00Oh, they did, but he got another one.
00:44:01Oh, I see.
00:44:02Mm-hmm.
00:44:03Say, is he still going...
00:44:04No, I'm keeping company with her.
00:44:06No.
00:44:07Yeah.
00:44:08I thought all the time you...
00:44:09Oh, she's married.
00:44:10No.
00:44:11Yeah, she married a fella by the name of...
00:44:12He's a nice fella.
00:44:13Oh, he is?
00:44:14Yeah.
00:44:15Wait a minute.
00:44:16Hmm?
00:44:17Let me tell you something.
00:44:19What's that?
00:44:20You know what I heard?
00:44:21What?
00:44:22I heard...
00:44:23Not until Christmas.
00:44:24No.
00:44:25No.
00:44:26I never did believe that term.
00:44:27I don't believe anything he says either.
00:44:28No.
00:44:29In fact, I don't believe that he...
00:44:30Who?
00:44:31He?
00:44:32Who's he?
00:44:33Watch him a call.
00:44:34Oh, him.
00:44:35Sure.
00:44:36Oh, I didn't know who you were talking about.
00:44:37No.
00:44:38No.
00:44:39I never did know him.
00:44:40I don't know him myself.
00:44:41He's been strangest for years.
00:44:42Yeah.
00:44:43You know what, Benjamin?
00:44:44What?
00:44:45That's why I like to talk to you.
00:44:46Yeah.
00:44:47Cause me and you seem to agree with each other.
00:44:48We sure do, don't we?
00:44:49Yeah.
00:44:51You sure you're right, partner?
00:44:52Absolutely.
00:44:53Our file cards have been tampered with.
00:44:55This one has been wiped clean.
00:44:57And this one...
00:44:58That's Louie Schmack's card.
00:44:59Yes, sir.
00:45:00And on it are a thumb and index print made by someone not in this prison.
00:45:04Preserve this card.
00:45:05It is proof that someone tried to falsely accuse Lewis Mack of Miss Petrie murder.
00:45:10When Kenzie gets back here with Slade, I'll get to the bottom of this.
00:45:13If I have to make...
00:45:14The guards can't locate Slade.
00:45:15He must know why we want him.
00:45:17Well, I'll find him.
00:45:18I'll call a general lockup.
00:45:23Kevin!
00:45:27Uh-oh.
00:45:28Gotta go.
00:45:29Can't be late in this school.
00:45:30No.
00:45:31Well, so long, Ben.
00:45:32Be good.
00:45:33Show a lot of bells.
00:45:34Yeah, I wonder what they're celebrating.
00:45:35I don't know.
00:45:36Maybe there's another one in Paris.
00:45:37This is one we're gonna stay out of.
00:45:39That's the best thing that I heard you say here.
00:45:41Look, let's play John Ken Paul.
00:45:42John Ken Paul.
00:45:43Yeah, he's out.
00:45:44Yeah, he's out?
00:45:45Yeah.
00:45:46Okay.
00:45:47Yeah, he's out.
00:45:48I'll get you there, sir.
00:45:58Yeah, he's out.
00:45:59Oh, no.
00:46:00Oh, yeah.
00:46:01Yeah, he's out.
00:46:04A lot of sirens.
00:46:05Yeah.
00:46:06But we will stay right here.
00:46:15Slade missing?
00:46:16Yes, sir.
00:46:17We're checking to see if any of the others are.
00:46:18Alerting the guards have located Slade.
00:46:20He's heading for the baling shed.
00:46:21Come on.
00:46:22Let's do that.
00:46:23Let's do that.
00:46:24Let's find Pop.
00:46:25Come on.
00:46:26Let's find Pop.
00:46:27Come on.
00:46:28Let's find Pop.
00:46:29Come on.
00:46:30Come on.
00:46:31Come on.
00:46:32Let's find him.
00:46:33Come on.
00:46:34Let's go.
00:46:35Let's do that.
00:46:36Let's find Pop.
00:46:37Come on.
00:46:38We better go and find Pop.
00:46:39Huh?
00:46:40Let's do that.
00:46:41Let's find Pop.
00:46:42Come on.
00:47:08Watch out warden, he's up on the bale.
00:47:29Hold your fire, boys.
00:47:34Slade, you better give up.
00:47:37You haven't got a chance.
00:47:39Yeah?
00:47:41Come and get me.
00:47:52He's hit.
00:47:53He still may be able to talk.
00:48:07You're not gonna make me take the rap for all this.
00:48:14This lady's dead.
00:48:15Just as well for him.
00:48:22Gun barrel plugged.
00:48:23Gun explode.
00:48:24He'd kill self.
00:48:25Hiya, Pop.
00:48:26Did something happen?
00:48:27A dead man.
00:48:28Guess something did happen.
00:48:29Yeah, we better go before something happened to us.
00:48:31It is too bad.
00:48:32Mr. Slade was only one who could tell us how prison cards used in fingerprint forgeries.
00:48:38But if there was something wrong.
00:48:39State's attorney demand absolute proof.
00:48:40At present, I have no proof at all.
00:48:41You mean there's nothing more you can do?
00:48:42Only convincing proof now would be real murderer.
00:48:43What do you want now?
00:48:44Your fingerprints, please.
00:48:45Why?
00:48:46Why?
00:48:47I'm looking for murderer.
00:48:48Well, that lets me out.
00:48:49One moment, Miss Evans.
00:48:50I'm sorry.
00:48:51I'm sorry.
00:48:52Mr. Slade was only one who could tell us how prison cards used in fingerprint forgeries.
00:48:55But if there was something wrong...
00:48:56State's attorney demand absolute proof.
00:48:59At present, I have no proof at all.
00:49:01You mean there's nothing more you can do?
00:49:03Only convincing proof now would be real murderer.
00:49:07What do you want now?
00:49:08Your fingerprints, please.
00:49:10Why?
00:49:11I'm looking for murderer.
00:49:13Well, that lets me out.
00:49:14One moment, Miss Evans.
00:49:16I desire your fingerprints also.
00:49:18Look, mister.
00:49:19I never let policemen hold my hand.
00:49:21Have you got a warrant?
00:49:22No, but...
00:49:23Are you going to book me for something?
00:49:25No.
00:49:26Okay, then I'm standing on my rights and not giving you my prints.
00:49:28Excuse, please.
00:49:32So you work for the government.
00:49:33Who doesn't these days?
00:49:35You should see my withholding tax.
00:49:38Okay, toots.
00:49:39When you get a warrant, give me a buzz.
00:49:42Ta-ta.
00:49:43Miss Evans too smart for her own good.
00:49:47I have her fingerprints now.
00:49:49Here.
00:49:50I desire fingerprints of everyone else in this house.
00:49:54Everyone else is out.
00:49:55No matter.
00:49:56This gentleman is expert at finding fingerprints in rooms.
00:50:00We go upstairs, please.
00:50:02You two not afraid?
00:50:06Afraid of what, Pop?
00:50:07That you sit down so often you get concussion of brain.
00:50:11Pop, I got a swell idea.
00:50:12Good.
00:50:13Save it for old age.
00:50:16Look, save one for me too.
00:50:19Any luck?
00:50:33Not yet, sir.
00:50:34Has anything been heard from Posse Hotel yet?
00:50:37Nothing.
00:50:38The prints on Louis Mack's prison card were those of Johnson,
00:50:40but he hasn't shown up at the hotel yet.
00:50:42Excuse, please.
00:50:50Hello.
00:50:51Oh, Mr. Chan.
00:50:52No, Mr. Johnson hasn't come back yet.
00:50:54Why, Mrs. Foss said Danvers went away on one of his regular trips.
00:50:58But I'm worried it's getting...
00:51:00Please, please, you must not worry.
00:51:02Everything now in lap of gods.
00:51:04Very soon I give very hearty shove.
00:51:07Perhaps Clue fall off of laps.
00:51:10Your idea is partly right, Mr. Chan.
00:51:12As you suggested, I photographed and engraved a set of fingerprints on these pads.
00:51:17Those are genuine fingerprints.
00:51:19But when pressed against an object, they still leave no print marks.
00:51:21That's right.
00:51:22The lack of oil, huh?
00:51:24I tried using vegetable oil and mineral oil,
00:51:27and if this test doesn't work, I'm afraid the experiment has failed, sir.
00:51:31No experiment is failure until last experiment is success.
00:51:36Now, this is a combination of animal oil.
00:51:48Now, if the print remains after the powder is blown off...
00:51:57Now, those are forged fingerprints.
00:52:00But any expert not knowing what we did would swear that they were the real thing.
00:52:03Then we can clear Harley.
00:52:04No, no.
00:52:05We make successful experiment.
00:52:06But this is no proof that Mr. Harley was convicted through forgery.
00:52:10But, Pop, if the detective at the Force Hotel arrests Johnson...
00:52:12I fear Mr. Johnson gone by this time.
00:52:14This engraving and photography on rubber, you do all of that here?
00:52:17No, sir.
00:52:18I use an engraving plant.
00:52:19I had to have cameras, engraving tools, and several vats for the acid.
00:52:22Such things could not be hidden in small space.
00:52:24No, sir.
00:52:25They'd have to be stored in a pretty large place.
00:52:26Large place.
00:52:27Large place.
00:52:28Large place.
00:52:29You remain here and try contact Governor of State.
00:52:31I'm not sure that Mr. Harley was convicted.
00:52:33I'm not sure that Mr. Harley was convicted.
00:52:35If detectives at Force Hotel arrest Mr. Johnson, telephone me to Carey Warehouse.
00:52:49Carey's?
00:52:50What are you going out there for?
00:52:51To try and prove.
00:52:53Mr. Harley's fingerprints forged exactly as we do tonight.
00:52:57Thanks to Mr. Thompson.
00:52:59Very fine job.
00:53:00You know, Pop, believe it or not, that's the same idea I had.
00:53:04You told me?
00:53:07Now I've heard everything.
00:53:14Pop, that's the truck that almost ran over us.
00:53:16Shrewd observation.
00:53:17This is truck which killed Miss Petrie.
00:53:19Look inside.
00:53:21Four big cameras.
00:53:23Hey, what are them tubs doing in there?
00:53:25That is paraphernalia used in forging fingerprints.
00:53:28You two remain here on watch.
00:53:30If I call, come quickly.
00:53:32Yes, sir.
00:53:33You know, I think Pop's got someone.
00:53:37There must be some clues around here.
00:53:38Let us do some investigating on our own.
00:53:40Come on.
00:53:41Let us you go and let us me stay here.
00:53:43I'm gonna wait right here.
00:53:44You're always talking about let us do some investigating.
00:53:47Second thought, I think I'll follow Mr. Chan. It's safer.
00:53:51See here right now, Mr. Ceefe.
00:54:10Maybe.
00:54:12Birmingham, it's me.
00:54:42I wonder where Pop is.
00:54:58Hey, Pop!
00:55:00Hey, Pop!
00:55:04No, I know you ain't real.
00:55:08Couldn't be real.
00:55:10Oh boy, not now.
00:55:16But when I ask you to make your departure, do not leave me here.
00:55:20Birmingham!
00:55:22Now this is exactly what I need, a removable foxhole.
00:55:26It's real.
00:55:40Now is the time.
00:55:50Oh my goodness, it can be.
00:55:52I know it ain't true.
00:55:54Don't know if I'd believe it.
00:55:56I don't believe it.
00:55:58I see where the bullets are coming from.
00:56:00I see where the bullets are coming from.
00:56:02Yeah, but I don't want to look no bullets in the eye.
00:56:04Look, in the truck.
00:56:06I got an idea.
00:56:08Good idea.
00:56:10Good idea, Tom.
00:56:12Good idea, Tom.
00:56:14That's right, Tom.
00:56:15Back it out.
00:56:16Right straight through that door.
00:56:18I'm going to run down that killer.
00:56:20That's what we do.
00:56:21What?
00:56:22Get him, Tommy.
00:56:23Don't miss him, Tommy.
00:56:24Don't get him.
