04:29Tell His Excellency I just read the news
04:35Explain that I think my place is home with my own people
04:37If it can be arranged
04:39The general agrees that even though we can't afford to lose
05:09His own people
05:10He will send your official discharge to your quarters tonight
05:12Tell His Excellency how grateful I am
05:14It is not necessary my son
05:17It is for me to thank you for all you have done for myself
05:20And for my people
05:22Thank you sir
05:23Come in
05:36Come in
05:42Oh, hello, Wayne.
05:44Kind of figured it'd be you.
05:46Finding it a little harder to pull out
05:48than you expected?
05:50Yeah.
05:52Sort of seems as though half of me belongs here with your people.
05:54I know.
05:56Because half of me belongs over there, with your people.
05:58Let's cut it out way before I change my mind.
06:00Won't you bring my discharge?
06:02Mm-hmm.
06:06Here's a little something to...
06:08remember us by.
06:10It was my brother's.
06:16Thanks, Wayne.
06:18Ah, before you know it, we'll both be laughing this whole mess off.
06:20Probably back in the States somewhere,
06:22putting a couple of crates through their paces
06:24at some broken-down county fair.
06:26It will be a long time before the Chinese
06:28will be able to laugh off what has happened.
06:30The needless misery, the slaughter, the barbarism.
06:32Yeah, I know.
06:34I know.
06:36I could travel no further, Martin's son.
06:40Why, it's Ram Lau.
06:42You know him?
06:43Well, sure, it's Tommy Thompson's number one boy.
06:44Come on, help me get him over to the bed.
06:46Yeah, he and Tommy disappeared a couple of months ago.
06:48No one's heard from him since.
06:50Better get some water.
06:52This poor old boy's really been through the mill.
06:54Wonder what happened to Tommy.
06:56All right, I think he's coming too now.
06:58I wonder what happened to Tommy.
07:02All right, I think he's coming too now.
07:12I am sorry, Sahid.
07:13After a moment's rest, I shall be going.
07:14Oh, not tonight.
07:15You're not in any shape to travel.
07:16I must.
07:17I have a message from Thompson, Sahid.
07:19for his sister.
07:20Important.
07:21No, no, no.
07:22You just lie there and rest.
07:23I'll find Miss Thompson.
07:24Wait.
07:25Try and get some food into him.
07:26Clear broth, I think, would be the best.
07:27And take care of those little boys.
07:28I'm sorry, Sahid.
07:29I'm sorry, Sahid.
07:31After a moment's rest, I shall be going.
07:34Oh, not tonight.
07:35You're not in any shape to travel.
07:37I must.
07:38I have a message from Thompson, Sahid, for his sister.
07:43Important.
07:44No, no, no.
07:45You just lie there and rest.
07:46I'll find Miss Thompson.
07:48Wait.
07:49Try and get some food into him.
07:51Clear broth, I think, would be the best.
07:53And take care of those wounds.
07:54Right, Jack.
07:57I'll be back in a half an hour.
07:59With Miss Thompson.
08:07I must apologize for my tea service.
08:09For the recent bombings that played havoc with my chinaware.
08:12You're lucky.
08:13I haven't any left at all.
08:15You know, I don't understand your brother leaving you here alone
08:19while he runs around the country on his own.
08:21Oh, I don't mind, really.
08:23It's not as dangerous as most people believe.
08:25For my brother, when he gets off on one of his exploring expeditions,
08:29I doubt whether he even knows there's a war going on.
08:32Hey, guys.
08:33Is Miss Thompson at home?
08:35Why, Jack, how nice.
08:36Hello, Janet.
08:37Miss Miller, you know Captain Martin, I believe.
08:38Well, not in person.
08:39But I have written up a number of his exploits in the air service.
08:43Oh, then you must be the Miss Miller of the syndicated press.
08:46How do you do?
08:47Now, how about some tea?
08:48Tea?
08:49Oh, no.
08:50No.
08:51No.
08:52No.
08:53No.
08:54No.
08:55No.
08:56No.
08:57No.
08:58No.
08:59No.
09:00No.
09:01No.
09:02No.
09:03No.
09:04No.
09:05No.
09:06No.
09:07No.
09:08No.
09:09No.
09:10No.
09:11No.
09:12No.
09:13No, thanks.
09:14I really came here, Janet, to take you away for a while.
09:16If Miss Miller will excuse you.
09:17Before we've finished our tea, don't be silly.
09:19Janet, this is important.
09:21Ramlal's at my house, too weak to come here.
09:23Ramlal?
09:24Back from Endon.
09:25Is my brother with him?
09:26No, but he brought a message from him.
09:28Just a moment, I'll get a rap.
09:30If you'll excuse me, Trudy, I'll...
09:32Of course, run along.
09:34I'll finish my tea and have the maid call a rickshaw.
09:36Sorry to break in this way, Miss Miller, but really it's...
09:39Don't give it a thought.
09:40I understand perfectly.
09:41Right.
09:42If there's anything I can do to help, don't forget to call on me.
09:45Thanks, Trudy.
09:46Good night.
09:47Good night.
09:48Good night.
09:49I ought to tell you what's the back of all this.
09:52Don't.
09:53I shouldn't think I ought to know.
09:54I do.
09:55Tommy said if things went wrong, I should tell you.
09:57And you'll see if they have.
09:59Hola.
10:08Hito.
10:09Yes.
10:10Can't tell the hey.
10:11No gone.
10:12Dot of joy.
10:13Yeah.
10:14A good night.
10:32Chester, I've come to the window.
10:36My baby.
11:06I ought to tell you that Tommy's in the Australian Intelligence Service.
11:10I suspected as much, but I wasn't sure.
11:13Well, he is. Ramla is in the Hindu service.
11:16Two months ago, they left on the most dangerous assignment they'd ever tackled.
11:20Oh? What was it?
11:22Ever hear the place called Mandan?
11:25Yes. Yes, it's a little isolated province against the Himalaya Mountains. Why?
11:30Well, Ramla unearthed an old legend about Mandan.
11:33The story is that there's a secret route through the mountains from China to India.
11:37A secret route to India?
11:40That would give China another lifeline.
11:42Exactly.
11:43Yeah, but what if the Japs found out about that road and got control of it?
11:47Wouldn't they march straight through to India?
11:48Certainly. That's why Tommy and Ramla flew to into Mandan.
11:52In order to beat them to it.
11:54Boy, oh boy, they've really been playing with dynamite.
12:03You okay?
12:04Sure.
12:06Okay.
12:44Father von Tartler,
12:46I began to think you had forgotten the path of my humble door.
12:49It might have been better for you if I had.
12:52I may have to report that you have failed your country
12:56I have to report that you have failed your country, and the Black Samurai.
12:59So, in what way may I ask?
13:02Have I not urged you to send agents to Mandan to find their secret route to India?
13:05And have I not explained that agents could accomplish nothing against that wild mountain tribe?
13:12When Japan gets ready to invade India, we shall send an army into Mandan and force the secret from them.
13:18Not if our enemies get control of it first.
13:20Our enemies do not even know there is such a route.
13:22The British do.
13:24Why do you think the British know?
13:26When Thompson and Ramlal left Chongqing last month, they went to Mandan, as I suspected.
13:31There is no harm done.
13:33They are foreigners. They will never reach Mandan alive.
13:36But they did reach Mandan. The Hindu returned here tonight.
13:40Do you know whether they learned the way to the road itself?
13:42If they have, the Black Samurai will demand your life, Kageyama.
13:49I will have a report on it within the hour.
13:54I came as soon as I heard Ramlal.
14:07Food and rest are all I need, Man Sahib.
14:21Jack says you have word of my brother.
14:24Is he well?
14:25He is in Mandan, a prisoner and wounded.
14:30I escaped and came out to send him help.
14:34Tommy will get help, all right. We have to fly at home ourselves.
14:37Is he still, is he hurt?
14:39That I do not know.
14:42I have been six weeks returning.
14:47May I speak freely before your friends?
14:52Yes, Ramlal.
14:53We learned part of what we went after.
14:56The legend is true.
14:58There is a secret route to India.
15:01Did you find the route itself?
15:03No, Mam Sahib.
15:05It was when they learned what we were after that they imprisoned us.
15:10Gee, it sounds as if those Mandanese are as tough as I heard they were.
15:13They want no traffic with the world.
15:15That is why they are keeping the route to India secret.
15:18Only two living men know where it lies.
15:22Who are they?
15:23Maybe they will tell the secret to save China.
15:25After all, they are Chinese.
15:26They are men of great trust.
15:29One of them is dead."
15:45Oh, my God.
16:15I don't think he's badly hurt.
16:17If we can only...
16:18Hey, Wayne, look at this.
16:19The sign of the Black Samurai.
16:21The first member we've ever taken alive.
16:23The Black Samurai? What's that?
16:25An espionage ring of Japanese nobles.
16:27Controlled by the most dangerous spy in the Orient.
16:29Yeah, what's his name?
16:30It's not a man.
16:31It's a woman called Fräulein von Teufel.
16:33Fräulein von Teufel?
16:35Why, that's German.
16:36We don't know her.
16:37All we know is that she is ruthless, even with her own agents.
16:40If one of them fails, the penalty is harakiri.
16:42Better have these men take him to headquarters.
16:44Maybe we can make him talk.
16:45We can try, but there's not much chance.
16:48All right, you can do it.
16:55Harakiri.
16:56That's why we never take any of them alive.
16:58We've got to report this to the general.
16:59It's getting pretty late, Jack.
17:00We'd better wait till morning.
17:01We can't afford to wait.
17:03Why, the spy that killed Ram Lau probably heard everything he said about the secret route to India.
17:06Yes, I suppose he must have.
17:08Of course he did.
17:09If I know anything about the Japs, they won't wait.
17:11They'll have men on the way to Madden within a few hours.
17:14Toi, go, Willa.
17:17It was as you suspected, Fräulein von Teufel.
17:19Ram Lau and Thompson did go to Madden.
17:21Did they find out about the secret route to India?
17:23Only that there is such a route.
17:26They could not locate the entrance.
17:28Then they know no more than we do.
17:29Not quite as much, Fräulein.
17:32I killed Ram Lau before he could name the two men who know how to reach it.
17:36Good.
17:37There's other news.
17:39That is not good.
17:41What is it?
17:42Yagashi was arrested helping me escape.
17:45The Chinese will recognize the sign of a black samurai.
17:47And act at once to get the man in secret ahead of the Japanese.
17:49We must act first.
17:53Contact our army headquarters.
17:56Contact no one.
17:57We must not trust this message to the air.
18:00It might be intercepted.
18:02Slip down river to our lines.
18:03Make a full report and have them send a plane to Madden at once.
18:06Not one plane.
18:06Fifty at least.
18:07Kajama seems to forget it.
18:09It is I who give orders here.
18:10It is the Fräulein who forgets.
18:12The black samurai is Japanese.
18:14It is a division of Axis espionage and takes its orders from Berlin through me.
18:19Send five men to Madden.
18:21Let them pretend to be Chinese on a peaceful mission.
18:24They are to get the secret.
18:25Or bring back the governor, a prisoner.
18:27of course we will send help into your brother.

22:18Captain Yoshoto will be in charge.
22:20Koshimi will act as envoy.
22:21Pretend to be on a peaceful mission.
22:22But bring back demand on secret if you have to kill the entire governor's staff.
22:28Come on.

22:59They gave us no orders what to do
23:01if the Chinese are in Mandan ahead of us.
23:05They won't be.
23:07Kageyama promised.
23:09Kageyama never fails.
23:29The downdrafts out of these canyons must be terrific.
23:32They are.
23:33Better put your chute on.
23:46Any idea how far we are from Mandan?
23:48Well, if my reckoning is right, we're almost there.
23:59Let's go.
24:15Jeff, I smell smoke.
24:17Yeah, I've been noticing it too.
24:24Take over, Janet.
24:29I'll try and get the jack.
