00:00:00The End
00:00:30Hornet gun
00:01:00Check
00:01:01Hornet sting
00:01:04Check
00:01:08Let's roll, Kato
00:01:30Why do you suppose Herb wants to meet in the park?
00:01:43He's frightened.
00:01:44Doesn't want any eyes or ears around.
00:01:46Yeah, but can you trust him?
00:01:48Two weeks ago, the answer would have been no.
00:01:50Tonight?
00:01:51Who knows?
00:01:51There's the carriage house.
00:02:51Oh, Herc.
00:03:04I wonder what...
00:03:05Hornet!
00:03:05Over here!
00:03:07Wait, wait, wait.
00:03:08It's me, Herc.
00:03:08I hope this will be a friendly meeting.
00:03:17How many friends have you dumped in the river?
00:03:19Look, I'm only trying to do you a favor.
00:03:22Somebody's out to take care of the big racket guys, and you and me are on the list.
00:03:25How do you know about the list?
00:03:27Never mind.
00:03:28But I'm not going to be a pushover.
00:03:30And if you go along with me, neither will you.
00:03:33How do you know about the list?
00:03:35It's bought and paid for.
00:03:37What else have you bought?
00:03:38If we're together, I tell you.
00:03:40Otherwise...
00:03:41We're going to play it my way.
00:03:43You talk first.
00:03:43Who did the killings?
00:03:44Don't push me around, Hornet.
00:03:45You need me.
00:03:46I don't need you.
00:03:47I never have needed you, Herc.
00:03:50And I never will.
00:03:52Don't you forget that.
00:03:53Let's go.
00:03:56Hornet, wait.
00:03:57Listen.
00:04:05Don't touch it.
00:04:06It's poisoned.
00:04:17No.
00:04:19Listen.
00:04:26Come on.
00:04:47Don't lose him.
00:05:08No chance.
00:05:17Nothing we can do here.
00:05:47What gives with the racketeers in this town?
00:05:52What about them?
00:05:53Two weeks ago, Kelton, the trucking racket.
00:05:55He gets it.
00:05:56A few nights later, Al Alberts, jukeboxes.
00:06:00Last Wednesday, Klinger, gambling.
00:06:03And last night, Mel Herc, the numbers boss.
00:06:06Good.
00:06:07If they keep at it, maybe they'll finish each other off.
00:06:10That's not the point.
00:06:11Listen to this.
00:06:12Kelton killed by bow and arrow.
00:06:14Albert strangled with a silk handkerchief.
00:06:16A garotte.
00:06:18Yeah, I guess that's what they call it.
00:06:20Then Klinger buys the whole package with a native spear.
00:06:23And Herc, a poison dart.
00:06:25They're not dying the way they're supposed to.
00:06:27The effect's the same.
00:06:28Yeah, but who's doing it?
00:06:29That's the puzzle.
00:06:31There's a call for you on the private line.
00:06:32Thanks, Miss Case.
00:06:33Excuse me, Mike.
00:06:34Play the story up big.
00:06:35Yeah, sure.
00:06:37Well, what's happened to the good old days?
00:06:42It's a district attorney.
00:06:43I've got the scrambler on.
00:06:46Yes, Frank?
00:06:48I got what you wanted, Britt.
00:06:50The ID on that accident victim that you chased.
00:06:54You sitting down?
00:06:55Why?
00:06:56Who was it?
00:06:57A.J. Clark.
00:06:58A respectable accountant with no mob ties at all.
00:07:01Well, I knew Clark.
00:07:03He was a member of the yacht club.
00:07:04Nice little guy.
00:07:06Was there any chance that you were chasing the wrong man?
00:07:10None, Frank.
00:07:10Thanks.
00:07:11Thanks.
00:07:11There's a pattern forming here.
00:07:16But which way does it lead?
00:07:17To the list that Herc bought and paid for.
00:07:21And to the person from whom he got it.
00:07:26Now, hold on, dummy.
00:07:27Just you listen to me.
00:07:30Herc's dead, you hear me?
00:07:31Herc's dead.
00:07:33From here on in, you're taking orders from me.
00:07:36Now, the operation goes on in the same way.
00:07:40And you just make your collections like always.
00:07:43Yeah.
00:07:46Some of the nutheads you have to do business with these days.
00:07:49Why you?
00:08:05Die!
00:08:07Die!
00:08:08Die!
00:08:08Die!
00:08:13Die!
00:08:14Shoot him!
00:08:44Any more unfriendly greetings?
00:08:47Ah, come on, Hornet.
00:08:49All you had to do was knock.
00:08:51Then you would have misunderstood the purpose of my visit.
00:08:54You didn't waste much time moving in behind Herc's desk.
00:08:57Somebody had to run the operation.
00:08:59I was number two.
00:09:00Maybe with the idea to become number one.
00:09:02You mean, did I knock Herc off?
00:09:04Not necessarily.
00:09:06But maybe you know who did.
00:09:07Oh, you got me all wrong.
00:09:09How would I know?
00:09:10He did.
00:09:11But he was killed before he could tell me.
00:09:14I want to know who told him.
00:09:17Beats me.
00:09:22Wait a minute.
00:09:24You've got ten seconds.
00:09:27Okay.
00:09:29Okay.
00:09:30But I'm only second guessing.
00:09:34Herc got a call from Jockey Tabor.
00:09:36The tout?
00:09:37When he's not touting, he's stolen.
00:09:39I figured Herc would hang up on him.
00:09:42But instead, he sets up this meat.
00:09:53Who do they think they're pushing around?
00:09:56Put your hands up.
00:09:58Keep them up and don't try any tricks.
00:10:01No!
00:10:01No!
00:10:06No!
00:10:11No!
00:10:11No!
00:10:15No!
00:10:20No!
00:10:26No!
00:10:27too late not very just enough his body's still warm this is no coincidence kato that's what i
00:10:46was thinking now what shake down the room look for a lead any kind of lead
00:10:57i tell you crane this this plan of yours has gone too far
00:11:26we agreed on our list then you went and killed jockey tabor why killing that innocent little
00:11:32man was not on our schedule he was only a waiter here innocent little man you say no danger you say
00:11:39listen to me and listen to me good who do you think you're speaking to that way we're not your
00:11:45servants crane you three men are as deeply involved in this hunt as i am before you go any further
00:11:52remember that before last night there were five of us jockey tabor was responsible for the death of
00:11:58our late fellow explorer aj clark he was discharged for bookmaking three days ago and at that time
00:12:06he approached me and tried to blackmail me it seems he overheard bits and pieces of our conversations
00:12:13and unfortunately totaled them correctly you denied everything of course and threw him out of my
00:12:20office but how does that figure into clark's death simple he found another buyer for the information
00:12:26oh that means we're all in danger isn't that the game we've always played
00:12:32we face the fiercest animals the jungle could offer us and we're still here
00:12:36someday soon we'll be recognized for what we've achieved ridding the city of the scum
00:12:48of the arch criminals that suck the blood from our veins of existence
00:12:52gentlemen i propose a toast to the next target on our list the biggest game of all

00:14:29then maybe you can tell me what i'm curious about
00:14:32the strange way the upper echelon of racketeers has been depleting itself
00:14:36the unusual weapons used
00:14:38odd you should mention that
00:14:41i was puzzling on that myself just this morning
00:14:43it's as though someone were trying to implicate this club and its members
00:14:47what do you think
00:14:49frankly brit i think it's ridiculous
00:14:51i've known every member of this club for too many years

00:17:02yeah yeah
00:17:05i'll let you know
00:17:06sir
00:17:08Come on, Hornet. You're going to break me getting that door fixed.
00:17:23The information I have might make that very unimportant.
00:17:27What are you trying to tell me?
00:17:29What Jockey Tabor told me.
00:17:31But he's dead.
00:17:34We know. We watched him die.
00:17:37You mean you got to him while he was still alive?
00:17:41Just barely.
00:17:43But he managed to whisper a few last words.
00:17:51Quentin Crane.
00:17:53Crane?
00:17:54I just had another visit from the Green Hornet.
00:17:57Never mind about that. What about Reed?
00:17:59Now you listen to me.
00:18:01The Green Hornet says I'm on your list.
00:18:03And you believe him?
00:18:05He said Tabor told him before he died.
00:18:07Listen, Crocker, I took care of Tabor myself.
00:18:11He couldn't have told anyone anything.
00:18:13I'm not a fumbler.
00:18:15And why do you suppose the Hornet said what he did?
00:18:18I can only think of two reasons.
00:18:20One that he wants to come between us.
00:18:23Divide and conquer.
00:18:25Yeah.
00:18:26You could try something like that.
00:18:29Cut in on the action, huh?
00:18:31Or...
00:18:33This is what I want you to do.
00:18:35This is what I want you to do.
00:19:05Well, the spear trap is set.
00:19:07Good.
00:19:08That doesn't get him the snare will.
00:19:09Excellent.
00:19:10You still haven't told us how you're getting the Green Hornet here.
00:19:24The method is unimportant.
00:19:25It's the end result that counts.
00:19:26And a few more minutes will give us the answer.
00:19:30What do you think?
00:19:31Probably the same as you.
00:19:32He knows.
00:19:33He knows.
00:19:34He knows.
00:19:35That doesn't get him the snare will.
00:19:36That doesn't get him the snare will.
00:19:37Excellent.
00:19:38You still haven't told us how you're getting the Green Hornet here.
00:19:39The method is unimportant.
00:19:40It's the end result that counts.
00:19:41And a few more minutes will give us the answer.
00:19:43What do you think?
00:19:57Probably the same as you.
00:19:59He knows he's being followed and that's exactly what he wants.
00:20:13I can see everyone who enters and leaves that gate.
00:20:23Be a marvelous thing to have in the jungle.
00:20:25Sit in the comfort of your lorry until the game shows up.
00:20:28Yes.
00:20:32Who's that?
00:20:33That gentleman is the bait.
00:20:35Bait?
00:20:36What do you mean?
00:20:37Look.
00:20:38To your stations.
00:20:42No guns.
00:20:43Why no guns?
00:20:44We'd have every policeman in the area on us.
00:20:46We'll use bows and arrows.
00:20:47Silent and efficient.
00:20:49Okay, let's go.
00:21:00What's the plan?
00:21:01We'll have to play it by ear.
00:21:03Who knows what they have planned for us.
00:21:05It's not good.
00:21:06We know that.
00:21:08We know that.
00:21:13Don't look now, but there's a television camera up above us in that tree.
00:21:16Our presence has already been announced.
00:21:19Let's stick together.
00:21:20Watch out for traps and snares.
00:21:38Let's work out for traps.
00:21:40Let's go.
00:21:52Let's go.
00:21:53Let's go.
00:21:54Let's go.
00:21:55Let's go.
00:21:57That wasn't me, miss.
00:22:20And deliberate, too.
00:22:22They're steering us, guiding us towards a certain point.
00:22:27There it is, right in front of us.
00:22:32That's where they want us to go.
00:22:33Now listen, listen carefully.
00:22:48We'll get behind them and herd them toward the snare.
00:22:57Hey! Strike!
00:23:15Fire!
00:23:28Freeze! Right there.
00:23:34Well, there's one half of the quarry.
00:23:35Die!
00:24:05Look, Hornet, can't we make a deal?
00:24:24There's plenty for both of us.
00:24:25No deal, Crane.
00:24:26But my position in the community is perfect cover.
00:24:29For more murders, including mine.
00:24:31There isn't room for both of us.
00:24:35Hornet, get me out of here.
00:24:41My wife.
00:24:42Hornet, please.
00:24:44That's one way to get to it, Tom.
00:24:45But it's hitting bottom the hard way.
00:24:48Let's call Scanlon.
00:24:49Let him pick up out here.
00:24:51Get me down from here.
00:24:53Get me out of here.
00:24:55Hornet.
00:25:00As publisher, you have my assurance the Sentinel will give full cooperation.
00:25:04On your charity drive.
00:25:07Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
00:25:10Very truly yours, etc.
00:25:12Shoot a copy of that over to Edwards and Society.
00:25:14Anything else?
00:25:17There's a memo from the research department on the driver safety series.
00:25:21I took care of that this morning.
00:25:22How about a drink?
00:25:23What about your date?
00:25:25Plenty of time.
00:25:27We're having a late dinner.
00:25:29Besides, that's the least I can offer you for working overtime tonight.
00:25:32The Sentinel newsroom brings you a special bulletin.
00:25:35An unidentified flying object has reportedly crashed and burned in a field some two miles outside the city limits.
00:25:41Kato, quickly.
00:25:42First report coming in, state eyewitnesses cited the object flying due east just before it crashed.
00:25:47Who's on the city desk?
00:25:48Or a detail on the spot.
00:25:49Get him on the phone.
00:25:49We switch over to our mobile unit at the seat of the crash.
00:25:52Trouble? Sounds like it.
00:25:53This is mobile unit two at the crash site.
00:25:55Flames and a tremendous explosion when the craft reportedly crashed have completely consumed the entire saucer-like object,
00:26:01leaving only debris spread over a wide area.
00:26:04Seconds before the craft exploded and burst into flames, witnesses report,
00:26:08they saw six to eight persons exit the object and race across the open field.
00:26:12Hold on for Mr. Reed.
00:26:14We'll return you now to news center.
00:26:15Bill, what's the story on that crash?
00:26:17Five or six people, including an off-duty cop and a doctor, swear they saw the saucer flying east.
00:26:23Right, then all of a sudden it started to wobble, lost altitude and crashed.
00:26:26A report just came in.
00:26:28There's a rumor racing around town that we're being invaded from outer space.
00:26:32Well, the people are beginning to panic.
00:26:33In the north section, the highways leading out of the city are beginning to jam up.
00:26:37I'll send out all available mobile crews to cover that end of it.
00:26:39Bring the car around front.
00:26:40Get Scanlon.
00:26:41Good evening, Mr. Reed.
00:27:11You've killed him.
00:27:18He's merely stunned, my dear.
00:27:21Thomas just used a minute fraction of her power.
00:27:25Take him over there.
00:27:32You're an extremely lovely young woman, my dear.
00:27:35I hope we will have mutually pleasant memories of our meeting.
00:27:39Who are you?
00:27:40We're wayfarers, Mr. Reed.
00:27:43Wayfarers on an interrupted journey.
00:27:46And what we want is your complete cooperation.
00:27:50Approximately 45 minutes ago, our ship went out of control and crashed.
00:27:54You mean you were in that saucer?
00:27:57Precisely.
00:27:58You don't expect us to believe that you're visitors from outer space.
00:28:02I not only expect you to believe it, I insist upon it.
00:28:07For obvious reasons, we do not wish to remain here any longer than absolutely necessary.
00:28:12And that is why we sought you out, Mr. Reed.
00:28:15Why me?
00:28:16Your television station.
00:28:18You are going to tell your fellow citizens to leave us alone.
00:28:23All we want is safe passage out of the city to some unpopulated area
00:28:28where one of our sister ships can land and pick us up.
00:28:31And if I refuse?
00:28:32Vemma, tell Mr. Reed what would happen if he refused.
00:28:36At this moment, five of our sister ships are hovering high above us.
00:28:40Unless you do exactly as Lita asks,
00:28:43they shall destroy your entire city in an instant.
00:28:47Well?
00:28:49You've got all the answers worked out, haven't you?
00:28:51You are wasting precious time, my friend.
00:29:05Surely the intelligence level here on...
00:29:07Earth?
00:29:09Yes.
00:29:10Is up to accepting simple logic.
00:29:13The highways are filling with panicked people.
00:29:17Panic breeds more panic, Mr. Reed.
00:29:20They're bound to be accidents.
00:29:23Needless deaths.
00:29:26Now, what better thing can you do
00:29:28as a responsible television station owner
00:29:31than to make a simple announcement
00:29:33suggesting that the people remain off the streets,
00:29:37calmly remain in their homes,
00:29:39and arrange to give us clear passage out of the city?
00:29:42Why not be the voice of reason in a moment of panic?
00:29:45You have a television camera
00:29:46to cut into any program for emergency announcements?
00:29:50Why use violence, Mr. Reed,
00:29:52when logic should triumph
00:29:53among the higher animals, at least?
00:29:57Don't you agree, Verma?
00:29:58Logic should triumph among the higher animals,
00:30:01at least.
00:30:08I'll make the announcement.
00:30:11Marvelous.
00:30:12This is Britt Reed,
00:30:29publisher of the Daily Sentinel
00:30:30and general manager of DSTV.
00:30:33Here's a special announcement.
00:30:35Until all the facts
00:30:36of the reported crash
00:30:37of the unidentified flying object are known,
00:30:39I urge all citizens to remain calm.
00:30:43There's no evidence
00:30:44that the city is in any danger.
00:30:46The only danger
00:30:47is from our own panic.
00:30:49I urge all citizens to remain calm.
00:30:58All right, whatever you're up to.
00:31:03Call the authorities.
00:31:04Tell them I want secondary route 210 outside the city
00:31:08and highway 7W and 18 cleared of all traffic
00:31:11for a distance of 15 miles both east and west.
00:31:14They won't do it.
00:31:15Why not?
00:31:16All we want is the roads be absolutely clear
00:31:19when our ship lands to pick us up.
00:31:24We'll take you with us, my dear.
00:31:26The slightest deviation from my request
00:31:32and you'll never see
00:31:33this charming young lady again.
00:31:40Bella!
00:31:41Bella!
00:32:11Let's go.
00:32:41Please sit down, Miss Case.
00:32:48Anything?
00:32:49No signal yet.
00:33:04What happened?
00:33:06Where are they?
00:33:08They got Casey.
00:33:09Cato, get the...
00:33:10Wait, wait.
00:33:11I just had word from the Air Force that they're sending a load of top-secret electronic equipment through this area within the hour.
00:33:17And that includes an H-bomb missile warhead.
00:33:20You know what route the truck is taking?
00:33:22The same one we've just cleared.
00:33:25The leader.
00:33:27Ten years ago, I covered a story.
00:33:29He was booted out of the Atomic Energy Program for conducting unauthorized nuclear tests.
00:33:34He destroyed a multi-million dollar test center.
00:33:37Two lab assistants were killed.
00:33:39Well, he must have found out about the shipment and...
00:33:42For whatever reason, he's after the H-bomb.
00:33:45And the police are cleared away for miles around.
00:33:47And he has Casey.
00:33:48I'm gonna get on my car radio. We've gotta get him in there in time.
00:33:51Let's go, Cato. The Green Hornet can travel faster.
00:33:54If he harms Casey...
00:34:06Mabuse. That's the leader. Dr. Eric Mabuse.
00:34:13If he gets the H-bomb, what are the chances of it exploding?
00:34:18The warheads are never transported with the detonators on board.
00:34:22But it would be easy for a scientist like Mabuse to make one.
00:34:26He may have a plan he thinks is fail-safe, but his sure-fire experiments have blown up before.
00:34:31If he slips up with an H-bomb, this whole area will be destroyed.
00:34:35Cato, we're dealing with a man of infinite brilliance and infinite madness.
00:34:41He publicly urged the use of nuclear weapons against aggressor nations.
00:34:45He may have some insane scheme to drop an H-bomb on a foreign country.
00:34:50If he does and they retaliate, our entire country may be at stake.
00:34:55Central communications calling Air Force Convoy.
00:35:00Air Force Convoy, come in. Do you read me? Come in. Over.
00:35:05Now what?
00:35:07Well, there's only one way to find out, Sergeant.
00:35:12This is Air Force Convoy. We read you loud and clear. Over.
00:35:17Air Force Convoy. Air Force Convoy.
00:35:20You can't beat this modern equipment.
00:35:25There's only two years more on theChat.
00:35:28You can see that.
00:35:29It motherfucker!
00:35:31Ten years ago, I offered them communications channels that couldn't be jammed.
00:35:34Little fool in his bomb are soon parted.
00:35:37What, signing.
00:35:39Probably some nice ham operator jamming the channels, Sir.
00:35:43OK.
00:35:44I'll leave the channel open. We'll see if it clears.
00:35:48I've always been a man of simple taste, Miss Case.
00:35:53I just like the best. Wine, women, and power.
00:35:59The song is so childish.
00:36:02Martin, do lower our speaker, won't you?
00:36:09Is that the Air Force frequency?
00:36:11Positive.
00:36:13Switch over to the police band.
00:36:17The boost doesn't miss a trick.
00:36:23Lama, go outside and prepare.
00:36:44The scanner signal.
00:36:46Casey, switch over to high beam.
00:36:48We'll try and track her on the oscilloscope.
00:36:53I've armed a triggering mechanism, Doctor. Would you like to check it?
00:36:58Of course.
00:37:00Carefully.
00:37:06Keep the safety switches on to the very last second.
00:37:09Yes, sir.
00:37:11It looks like the Air Force truck and the escort vehicle.
00:37:28Ten minutes early.
00:37:30But that'll throw our schedule off.
00:37:32Just can't depend on people these days.
00:37:34Still, watch ten minutes when you hold the fate of millions in your hands.
00:37:37What are you talking about? What's going to happen?
00:37:40They'll reach us in...
00:37:42Six minutes, ten seconds.
00:37:44Carey, we'll tell them and the men.
00:37:46Right.
00:37:49Well, Miss Case, I hope you enjoy living dangerously.
00:37:52Because in just a few minutes we're gonna take a new passenger aboard.
00:37:55An H-bomb warhead.
00:37:58They'll never let you get away with it.
00:38:00Oh, I beg to differ.
00:38:02They won't have any other choice.
00:38:03Before they know what's happening,
00:38:05I will have armed the warhead.
00:38:08And I, Miss Case,
00:38:10will have my finger on the trigger.
00:38:14What are you gonna do with it?
00:38:16What am I going to do with it?
00:38:18What does one do with an H-bomb?
00:38:22I'm going to drop it.
00:38:24Come now, Miss Case.
00:38:30I insist you join me.
00:38:41Hugo!
00:38:45Be so kind as to kill her.
00:38:50Up the road!
00:38:55It was only the trans-oscillator.
00:38:57No problem.
00:38:59No.
00:39:01No problem at all.
00:39:02No problem at all.
00:39:23Come on!
00:39:32Come on!
00:39:33Come on!
00:39:34Come on!
00:39:44Casey's moving.
00:39:45And fast.
00:39:47She or the scanner.
00:39:48She may not have an order.
00:39:49It's changing direction.
00:40:02It's getting stronger.
00:40:11There she goes.
00:40:32There she goes.
00:41:02The signal's changing direction again.
00:41:08It's coming from over there.
00:41:12Stay with the car.
00:41:16I don't know.
00:41:18It's coming from over there.
00:41:20Stay with the car.
00:41:22It's coming from over there.
00:41:26Stay with the car.
00:41:28It's coming from over there.
00:41:30Stay with the car.
00:41:52Spread out!
00:41:58Help me!
00:42:02Please, help me!
00:42:14He's got her.
00:42:16Let's go.
00:42:17It's the Green Hornet!
00:42:22She's going into the incinerator.
00:42:24Let it burn!
00:42:25Come on!
00:42:28Go on!
00:42:30Cut!
00:42:31Cut!
00:42:32Cut!
00:42:33Cut!
00:42:36Cut!
00:42:38Cut!
00:42:40Cut!
00:42:42Cut!
00:42:43Cut!
00:42:57Boy!
00:43:27Boy!
00:43:57Who the devil are you?
00:44:04Before you do anything foolish, Major, I must warn you, I've armed the warhead.
00:44:10If you make any move to defend yourselves, I shall blow us all to kingdom come.
00:44:15If I press this button, the device on the side of your truck will detonate the warhead.
00:44:22At this range, every man, woman and child in the city will be instantly annihilated.
00:44:28We should not be able to do anything foolish, Major.
00:44:31I must warn you, I've armed the warhead.
00:44:34If you make any move to defend yourselves, I shall blow us all to kingdom come.
00:44:39If I press this button, the device on the side of your truck will detonate the warhead.
00:44:44We should make contact with the truck soon.
00:44:47Rig for silent running, Kato.
00:44:49From what Casey told us, Mabuse has that truck outfitted with ultra-sensitive detection equipment.
00:45:02This has got to be it. Turn it off.
00:45:07We should be right on top of them.
00:45:10They must have pulled the truck off the road.
00:45:14Turn off there.
00:45:30We have to move carefully, Kato.
00:45:32This room is still open.
00:45:33Use it up to the junction, then you go on ahead, Sugo.
00:45:47Clear?
00:45:48Sugo, I asked, is that clear?
00:45:51Yeah. Yeah, it's clear.
00:45:53Then, along here.
00:45:54A mirror.
00:45:55And a loudspeaker.
00:45:56Don't turn around, Green Hornet.
00:45:57Just throw down your weapons.
00:45:58Your weapons, please.
00:45:59It's all done with mirrors, isn't it, Hornet?
00:46:00I've been an ardent admirer of yours for quite some time.
00:46:02We should get along well, then.
00:46:03And this can only be Kato.
00:46:04You've both wanted far afield, haven't you?
00:46:06We should get along well, then.
00:46:07You've both wanted far afield, haven't you?
00:46:08When there's action, I like to be in on it.
00:46:12You thought if I had dropped the ball, perhaps you'd pick it up?
00:46:13Something like that?
00:46:14If anyone drops this ball, dear friend, I'd like to be in on it.
00:46:15It's all done with mirrors, isn't it, Hornet?
00:46:20I've been an ardent admirer of yours for quite some time.
00:46:25We should get along well, then.
00:46:27And this can only be Kato.
00:46:30You've both wanted far afield, haven't you?
00:46:33When there's action, I like to be in on it.
00:46:35You thought if I dropped the ball, perhaps you'd pick it up?
00:46:38Something like that?
00:46:39If anyone drops this ball, dear friend, they'll pick us all up.
00:46:43In little pieces.
00:46:44You'll never pull this off, Mabuse.
00:46:46Correction.
00:46:47I already have.
00:46:49And not only do I have the Warhead, but I also have the Green Hornet.
00:46:53What about the police?
00:46:54Your concern for my well-being is most touching.
00:46:58In fact, to show my deep appreciation, I think I will allow you to act as my stand-in.
00:47:09What do you think the police will conclude when they discover Shugo in the car with you?
00:47:28Exactly, my friends.
00:47:32Their only conclusion can be that the Green Hornet masterminded the entire operation.
00:47:37What about the Warhead?
00:47:39Gone.
00:47:40Spirited away by double-crossing underlings.
00:47:43A neat solution to my problem, wouldn't you say?
00:47:47The Hornet sting is aimed directly at the car.
00:47:52I've set the mechanism so that after it's activated, the slightest movement inside the car or on the road will trigger it.
00:47:59And the explosives underneath the car will take care of the rest.
00:48:03Please, let me go.
00:48:06After you, gentlemen.
00:48:24Oh, yes.
00:48:25I know the police are staying a few miles back, and as soon as we pull out, they'll move forward a little.
00:48:31But even if you remain as still as statues, they'll be passing through here in a matter of minutes.
00:48:36And the vibration caused by their car will be more than enough.
00:48:55What are we gonna do?
00:49:03The first thing we're going to do is stay calm.
00:49:07There's no way out.
00:49:10Listen.
00:49:19Kato.
00:49:20Yeah?
00:49:21I'm going to fire the rear rockets.
00:49:24The reaction may jolt the car forward far enough to clear the explosion.
00:49:27No.
00:49:28There should be a split second between the time that I fire the rockets and the stingray activates the explosives.
00:49:33In that instant, the car should move away.
00:49:35What if it doesn't move away fast enough?
00:49:37It's the only chance that we've got.
00:49:39When that police car gets in the area, its vibrations are gonna set off the explosives.
00:49:43How close is your hand to the rocket switch?
00:49:45About three or four inches.
00:49:47He said any movement would set that thing off.
00:49:49We're just going to have to risk it.
00:49:54I'm getting out of here.
00:49:56Don't be a fool.
00:49:59I'm getting out of here.
00:50:00Don't be a fool.
00:50:01I'm getting out of here.
00:50:06I'm getting out of here.
00:50:07Don't be a fool.
00:50:08I've got it.
00:50:09I'm getting out of here.
00:50:10I'm getting out of here.
00:50:11I'm getting out of here.
00:50:12Don't be a fool.
00:50:16I've got it.
00:50:30I'm getting out of here.
00:50:39Let's take these ropes off and get out of here.
00:51:09Unload the warhead. Leave it. Put it in the brush over there.
00:51:16Doctor, you can't do it. This isn't what we planned.
00:51:20It was only to be used as a threat.
00:51:23I swore vengeance would be mine.
00:51:26And now it will be.
00:51:34Doctor, I beg you, don't do it.
00:51:36Don't make me a part of it.
00:51:38All right, then. You'll stay.
00:51:45Please, I'll go with you.
00:51:48Oh, no. You're staying. We're leaving.
00:51:53Doctor, please.
00:51:57With that jet cover, he'll never try for a rendezvous at that airstrip.
00:52:09We'll have to double back.
00:52:11It's one of Mabuse's men.
00:52:26Please don't be at me. Where's Mabuse?
00:52:29It is no time. Listen to me.
00:52:31You're gonna tell me where Mabuse is and the warhead.
00:52:33He's gone, and if we don't get out of here by the way, we'll be blown sky high.
00:52:36We'll be blown sky high. Where is he?
00:52:38The warhead's back there in the brush, but he's taken off with the detonator.
00:52:41Can he set it off by remote control?
00:52:43Yes.
00:52:44Can you disarm the bomb?
00:52:45No, and he's gonna wait till he gets far enough away from here and then blow it.
00:52:48Exactly what does he have to do to detonate it?
00:52:50He activates the button and then presses it.
00:52:52Get in.
00:52:54Take off, Kato.
00:53:21Kato, anything?
00:53:23Not yet.
00:53:24But even at maximum speed, that van can't possibly get away from us.
00:53:28Let's hope we catch up with it.
00:53:30And we have the moment we need.
00:53:32Rig for silent running.
00:53:47He must have picked us up with his radar.
00:53:49He may not have it running.
00:53:50He must have it running.
00:53:52No.
00:53:53I know him.
00:53:54He's got the detonator.
00:53:55He doesn't care about being followed.
00:54:00Kato.
00:54:01Kato.
00:54:02Kato.
00:54:03Kato.
00:54:04Kato.
00:54:05Kato.
00:54:06Kato.
00:54:07Kato.
00:54:09Kato.
00:54:10Kato.
00:54:11Kato.
00:54:12Kato.
00:54:13Let's go.
00:54:43Let's go.
00:55:13Let's go.
00:55:43Let's go.
00:56:13Ouch.
00:56:14Let's go.
00:56:18Let's go.
00:56:20Let's go.
00:56:22Let's go.
00:56:24Let's go.
00:56:26Let's go.
00:56:28Let's go.
00:56:30Let's go.
00:56:32Let's go.
00:56:34Let's go.
00:56:36Let's go.
00:56:38Let's go.
00:56:40Let's go.
00:56:42Let's go.
00:56:44Let's go.
00:56:46Let's go.
00:56:48Let's go.
00:56:50Let's go.
00:56:52Let's go.
00:56:54Let's go.
00:56:56Let's go.
00:56:58Let's go.
00:56:59Let's go.
00:57:00Let's go.
00:57:01Let's go.
00:57:02Let's go.
00:57:03Let's go.
00:57:04Let's go.
00:57:05Let's go.
00:57:06Let's go.
00:57:07Let's go.
00:57:08Let's go.
00:57:10Let's go.
00:57:12Если can happen as quick as possible.
00:57:14What's the matter?
00:57:15Somebody calling about the Senatealin's crusade against their protection racket.
00:57:17The Golden Lotus Cafe.
00:57:18The Golden Lotus?
00:57:19You know it?
00:57:20Yeah.
00:57:21Get the Black Beauty ready.
00:57:38Good.
00:57:39They're closing.
00:57:47Get it, Lo-Sing.
00:57:53What are you doing here?
00:57:54You can't use our tongue this way any longer.
00:57:57That Thoyang is my tongue now.
00:58:00I'm warning you.
00:58:02Nobody warns Lo-Sing.
00:58:08Well...
00:58:17What do you want?
00:58:18A tribute to the benevolence of Thoyang Tong.
00:58:20Benevolence?
00:58:21You mean blackmail.
00:58:23Get out!
00:58:24We're willing to be reasonable, Wing-Hogue.
00:58:26I say get out!
00:58:27Or I'll call the police.
00:58:29I'll call the police!
00:58:30Pee-ah!
00:58:31Ha!
00:58:32Gah!
00:58:33Ah!
00:58:34Gah!
00:58:35Gah!
00:58:36Uh!
00:58:41Gah!
00:58:42Gah, the elephant!
00:58:47No!
00:58:49I'm brave.
00:58:50Ha, ha, ha!
00:58:52Ah!
00:58:54Ah!
00:58:55Oh!
00:58:57Oh!
00:58:58Oh, my God.
00:59:28He's going to be all right.
00:59:55What happened to you?
00:59:56I ran into a little ambush.
01:00:11Jimmy!
01:00:14Oh, Jimmy!
01:00:16It's not mine.
01:00:17You were one of them.
01:00:18My uncle may die.
01:00:20You may have killed him.
01:00:21Oh, no, Mary.
01:00:23I had nothing to do with it.
01:00:25You must believe me.
01:00:26And although the attack on the Chinese restaurant owner had all the aspects of Tong rivalry, long believed obsolete,
01:00:39it is suspected that something more malevolent is really the case.
01:00:43As the Daily Sentinel has reported in a series of articles in recent weeks, there has been a resurgence of the vicious extortion racket in this city.
01:00:51It is the Daily Sentinel's belief that this criminal operation is now attempting to invade the city's Chinese community.
01:00:57Well, I'm certainly glad that your newspaper's taking that position, Britt.
01:01:03I never could buy that Tong war angle.
01:01:06Somebody is using the Tong for his own purposes.
01:01:09There's one person that knows who it is.
01:01:11Jimmy Key.
01:01:11You think so?
01:01:12I'm positive.
01:01:13Well, Mary Chang thinks he's one of the gang.
01:01:15She's wrong.
01:01:16That mask was not his.
01:01:17He was unconscious during the raid.
01:01:18Frank, we've got to find that boy.
01:01:28I've got a hunch we're not the only ones after him.
01:01:30If he poses a threat to the Tong and they're after him, they're going to silence him permanently.
01:01:34Well, I'll have the police put every available man on the search.
01:01:37Good.
01:01:46Kato?
01:01:47Yeah?
01:01:47Talk to Mary Chang.
01:01:49See if she knows where Jimmy Key might be hiding.
01:01:51Okay.
01:01:55You know, if we ever meet up with that masked Kung Fu man again, I want him.
01:02:03You got him.
01:02:10Frank Mantis School of Kung Fu has 500 years of refinement in it.
01:02:14Like our wise founder.
01:02:16You can learn much from watching the Mantis himself at work.
01:02:20Not the tightness of the defense.
01:02:22Tuck!
01:02:24Elbow's well tucked in.
01:02:35My friend.
01:02:37You have a few things to learn yourself.
01:02:41I haven't heard.
01:02:42I haven't heard.
01:02:45Heard what, Mr. Slate?
01:02:47That old man you beat up last night.
01:02:50He's in pretty bad shape.
01:02:53So?
01:02:54So you're supposed to get the merchants down here to buy our insurance.
01:02:58Not to put them in a hospital or a cemetery.
01:03:00I'll handle things my way.
01:03:02As long as you're working for me, you'll handle things my way and don't forget it.
01:03:11I could kill you with one cry.
01:03:14Well, about that kid the cops are looking for, the one that saw you go in the cafe last night.
01:03:27What's his name?
01:03:28Jimmy Key.
01:03:29I guess you realize if we don't get him before they do, we're in serious trouble.
01:03:34Jimmy Key will come to me.
01:03:36All I have to...
01:03:36You do it.
01:03:38Don't talk about it.
01:03:42I guess you have this outfit under control.
01:03:45The old men of the Tonga are frightened.
01:03:48The young men are with me.
01:03:49Except one.
01:03:51Now you find him.
01:03:52The young men of the Tonga are with me.
01:04:22Then I decided to go to Tsui Yen.
01:04:33See if I could get somebody there to talk.
01:04:35And when I was walking in, who do you think I saw coming out?
01:04:38Well?
01:04:39Duke Slate.
01:04:40And a couple of his boys.
01:04:42Who's Duke Slate?
01:04:44Among other things, he's the boss of protection racket on the west side.
01:04:47And now he's expanding into Chinatown.
01:04:49Looks like it, doesn't it?
01:04:50Let's keep the lid on this until we get the whole story, okay?
01:04:53Sure.
01:04:54You know, sometimes I can see a bit of your old man in you after all.
01:04:59Rest his soul.
01:05:01I hope you realize that's probably the highest compliment you'll ever receive.
01:05:05I know, Miss Case, and it humbles me.
01:05:16Mr. Reed's residence.
01:05:18Kato, this is Mary.
01:05:20Yes, Mary?
01:05:21I know where Jimmy is.
01:05:22Where?
01:05:23In the old Bula Temple at the Inn of Mandarin Park.
01:05:27He called.
01:05:28Asked me to meet him at 9 o'clock tonight.
01:05:30But what, Mary?
01:05:32I don't know what to do.
01:05:34I can't explain.
01:05:35Something is happening.
01:05:36I have a feeling I'm being watched.
01:05:39Mary, this is Britt Reed.
01:05:40Where are you?
01:05:41The restaurant.
01:05:42Stay there.
01:05:43I'll have Miss Case, my secretary, pick you up.
01:05:45And take you to her apartment.
01:05:47Thank you, Mr. Reed.
01:05:48I'll have Miss Case, my secretary, pick you up.
01:06:18I'll have Miss Case, my secretary, pick you up.
01:06:48Hold it.
01:07:18I'm ready for you.
01:07:31Unh!
01:07:36Fine!
01:07:40Fine!
01:07:42Hi-ya!
01:07:46Ladies and gentlemen, I've just been handed a bulletin.
01:07:52A tremendous explosion of unknown origin rocked this city's financial district at nine o'clock
01:07:58this evening.
01:07:59The blast occurred in an alley behind the Century Bank.
01:08:02Police have not yet determined whether anybody was injured in the explosion.
01:08:06However,
01:08:16Dorothy, my dear, I thought you'd left for the night.
01:08:29I just dropped by to dissolve our partnership, Eden.
01:08:39Get him up to the tangerine room right away.
01:08:46Eden is all set.
01:09:03Nice music.
01:09:04Beethoven?
01:09:06Mm-hmm.
01:09:07I think Eden would like that.
01:09:09So do I.
01:09:16This is a friend of yours, Mr. Eden.
01:09:19A friend in whom you can confide and tell your innermost secrets.
01:09:35Time's up, Eden.
01:09:36Oh, hi, fellas.
01:09:47Hi, friend.
01:09:48Well, how did it go tonight?
01:09:49How did what go tonight?
01:09:50Good job, tonight.
01:09:52Aren't the boys back yet?
01:09:53Not yet.
01:09:54Oh, well, it's a long way back from the racetrack.
01:09:57The racetrack?
01:09:58Yeah.
01:09:59What's the matter?
01:09:59You've forgotten we're knocking over the Riverview harness track tonight.
01:10:03Oh, yes.
01:10:05Yes, we had forgotten.
01:10:06Oh, yes.
01:10:13Oh, yes.
01:10:15It's a beautiful one.
01:10:17It's a beautiful one.
01:10:19Oh, yes.
01:10:19It's a beautiful one.
01:10:21It's a beautiful one.
01:10:21Look, I want to take a look from the moon.
01:10:22Things to enjoy.
01:10:23They're beautiful.
01:10:24You see, Mary, are the many people who do this.
01:10:24I want to take them to come.
01:10:25I don't know.
01:10:26I don't know.
01:10:27You need to tell them.
01:10:29You don't know how to get them to.
01:10:30I don't know.
01:10:31I need to tell them to be honest.
01:10:31I can't do it.
01:10:33I don't know.
01:10:34I can't do it.
01:10:35I can't do it.
01:10:35I think he's hurt badly.
01:10:43Just stunned.
01:10:44We'll take him to Scanlon.
01:10:45Maybe he'll tell Frank what happened outside the Golden Lotus last night.
01:10:49He will.
01:10:49I know Jimmy.
01:10:50Then Frank will have Duke Slate and his Chinese hatchet bin right where he wants them.
01:11:05I know Jimmy.
01:11:35I know Jimmy.
01:11:41Hello?
01:11:42Yes?
01:11:44What?
01:11:47No, you go on home, Miss Case.
01:11:51Mary Chang's been kidnapped.
01:11:53Kidnapped?
01:11:54But why?
01:11:56You think Jimmy Key will talk if it means endangering Mary's life?
01:12:00No.
01:12:01Obviously, Duke Slate and his Chinese friends don't either.
01:12:04Okay.
01:12:05We've got Jimmy.
01:12:07They've got Mary.
01:12:08What do we do now?
01:12:09There's one thing we can't do.
01:12:11We can't turn him over to Scanlon.
01:12:13And although the police refuse to speculate, it is believed the mysterious disappearance of Miss Mary Chang is connected with a protection racket, which has been operating recently in Chinatown.
01:12:25I hope your plan works.
01:12:27It will.
01:12:28Jimmy Key is no fool.
01:12:29Get that.
01:12:39I wouldn't if I were you.
01:12:40What is this?
01:12:41I have a feeling we've met before.
01:12:52Not now.
01:12:54Let's talk.
01:12:55What have we got to talk about?
01:12:57Mary Chang.
01:12:58Who?
01:12:59And the reason she's been kidnapped.
01:13:01I don't know what you're talking about.
01:13:03You kidnapped Miss Chang to force Jimmy Key into giving himself up in exchange for her release.
01:13:07Then you plan to kill him to keep him from talking.
01:13:10You sure you're at the right address?
01:13:12It won't work, Slate.
01:13:13Key can't give himself up to you.
01:13:15I have him in my possession.
01:13:17What's your interest in Jimmy Key?
01:13:19Purely monetary.
01:13:21What does that mean?
01:13:22It means I'll be happy to turn him over to you for $25,000.
01:13:26For $25,000.
01:13:28Get out.
01:13:30Friend of yours?
01:13:31He works for me.
01:13:32You should teach him some manners.
01:13:34Hold it.
01:13:36You're not going to deal with him?
01:13:39You got any better suggestions?
01:13:41Yeah, let me handle them.
01:13:45What are you laughing at?
01:13:46You.
01:13:48Now stay out of it and shut up.
01:13:49All right, it's a deal.
01:13:55One more thing.
01:13:56I want Mary Chang.
01:13:58She should be worth some dollars to her uncle when he recovers.
01:14:01If he recovers.
01:14:03Now about the delivery of Jimmy Key.
01:14:05Where and when?
01:14:06Midnight tomorrow night at Tsou Yen headquarters.
01:14:09No, I prefer a more neutral territory.
01:14:12Say the Buddhist temple.
01:14:14The end of Mandarin Park.
01:14:17Don't do it!
01:14:19Until tomorrow night.
01:14:25Until tomorrow night.
01:14:34You've got Jimmy Key here?
01:14:36In the basement.
01:14:37Kato fixed up a guest room for him.
01:14:39It's comfortable.
01:14:40And escape proof.
01:14:40Do you have any idea where he is or who you are?
01:14:43No.
01:14:44He was unconscious when we brought him here.
01:14:45What makes you think you'll be able to spring Mary Chang?
01:14:48Lo Sing will have his whole gang of thugs there at the temple.
01:14:50You can't handle them all.
01:14:52From what I've seen of Lo Sing, I don't think we'll have to worry about that.
01:14:55All right.
01:14:56I'll have a couple of police cars standing by.
01:14:58And I'll, uh, keep these handy.
01:15:00Where are you taking me now?
01:15:20Well, you'll see.
01:15:21My father was head with Tsai Yen for 30 years.
01:15:24I'm glad he didn't live to see what you and Lo Sing have done to our Tom.
01:15:29Lo Sing and her?
01:15:31Don't kid me.
01:15:32You're partners.
01:15:35Lo Sing's gonna be pretty surprised to hear that.
01:15:37No, wait.
01:16:06Wait until they get on the steps.
01:16:07Good evening, Mr. Slate.
01:16:18Get out.
01:16:20You too, Slate.
01:16:20What is this?
01:16:48A meeting of the Taoyang.
01:16:55What's he saying?
01:16:56He's calling Lo Sing a traitor to the town.
01:16:59And he's telling others to remember
01:17:01Zheying's honorable history.
01:17:05He's pleading others to overthrow Lo Sing.
01:17:11I don't want. I don't want.
01:17:13Mary, what's up?
01:17:15Jimmy!
01:17:21All right, let's get this over with.
01:17:22I'll take the money and the girl and...
01:17:38All right, what is this? Where's the money?
01:17:40I do not pay tribute to anyone.
01:17:43Take a photo.
01:17:52We're safe.
01:17:53It's not going to leave.
01:17:54We'll go to the next show.
01:17:55You're safe.
01:17:56Listen to me.
01:17:57You're safe.
01:17:58I'm alone.
01:17:59You're drinking.
01:18:00Let's go to the house.
01:18:01You're in okay?
01:18:02What's her?
01:18:03I'm looking for something else.
01:18:04Who is in it?
01:18:05Who is in it?
01:18:06Who was in it?
01:18:07Who is in it?
01:18:08Who is in it?
01:18:09Who is in it?
01:18:10Who are in it?
01:18:11All right, this has gone far enough.
01:18:20Now give him the money and let's wrap this up.
01:18:24You better listen to him, Lo Sing.
01:18:26I no longer take orders from Mr. Slate.
01:18:30Big talk.
01:18:32That's all that it is.
01:18:34Lo Sing, you are nothing without me.
01:18:38He's nothing with you.
01:18:39I was willing to let you two operate, provided you played it straight with me.
01:18:44As of now, you're out of business.
01:18:46Now, who makes the big talk?
01:18:48Is that all you think it is?
01:18:49How would you stop us?
01:18:58Kung Fu?
01:18:59Isn't that the traditional way?
01:19:01All right, hold it.
01:19:04Now, we're not playing any games.
01:19:05Stay out of this, Slate.
01:19:07What do you say, Lo Sing?
01:19:09Man against man.
01:19:15Slate is right.
01:19:17What's the matter, Lo Sing?
01:19:19The stake's too high?
01:19:21You afraid you might lose?
01:19:23I'll kill him as I would to fly.
01:19:26More big talk.
01:19:28This man is your leader, your hero.
01:19:31He backs down like a woman.
01:19:33He looks so high.
01:19:40Enough!
01:19:42Enough!
01:19:42Let's go.
01:20:12Any questions?
01:20:29Untie me.
01:20:36What now?
01:20:38That's up to Jimmy.
01:20:40Lo Sing is finished.
01:20:42So ends the evil times this town has fallen upon.
01:20:46Now let's be wise enough to return the toy yen to the tradition it represents.
01:20:51The tradition of my father.
01:20:56Okay, move in.
01:21:06We're not needed here anymore.
01:21:12We're not needed.
01:21:13We're not needed.
01:21:20If we take it away, you'll be able to return the toy yen to the toy yen.
01:21:24We're not needed.
01:21:26We're not needed.
01:21:27We're not needed.
01:21:28The End
01:21:58The End
01:22:28The End
01:22:58The End
01:23:03The End
01:23:08The End
01:23:17The End
