00:00:00The End
00:00:30THE END
00:01:00All right, Professor Carroll, we're alone. Let's see the formula.
00:01:03I wouldn't risk putting anything as valuable in writing. I keep it up here.
00:01:06Now, this is the heart of the process. It works perfectly.
00:01:11Using this as the basic component,
00:01:14our other chemists will be able to blend their solutions with absolute certainty of success.
00:01:23I shall demonstrate the process to you, and you alone,
00:01:27so that only you and I will know it.
00:01:30Oh!
00:01:43Military intelligence. And hurry!
00:01:47Yes.
00:01:49Just a moment, please.
00:01:51George, would you mind leaving? I'll call you later.
00:01:54For the present, his death must remain an absolute secret. I'll be there to work with you.
00:02:03Right.
00:02:07This is Martin. Let me speak to the chief on his private line.
00:02:12We haven't learned any more about Professor Carroll's death.
00:02:14No. There was no one who would know his work, except a brother, Greg Carroll, in selective service at Camp Madison.
00:02:24Yes, sir.
00:02:24Hey!
00:02:33Say, aren't you the fellow that I saw do those card tricks the other night?
00:02:38Well, yes, sir. I'm Corporal Greg Carroll.
00:02:40Tell me you hail from Boston.
00:02:42Oh, I used to.
00:02:43Well, we got some young recruits from your hometown in today.
00:02:46Why don't you go over and say hello to them?
00:02:47Hey, bring any cigarettes?
00:02:50Plenty.
00:02:50Okay, sods. They'll be welcome.
00:03:11Hey!
00:03:13Whoa!
00:03:15Somehow you'll pull that once too often. I'm going to knock you right out of the nose.
00:03:17Uh-uh. Careful now. Remember me?
00:03:19I'm the guy who drives the colonel.
00:03:21We're going to town tonight in the colonel's car, just you and me.
00:03:23What? Get stuck with that sister again?
00:03:25And spend the evening discussing music and philosophy?
00:03:28Count me out.
00:03:29I'm talking about the other sister.
00:03:31Oh, sounds phony to me.
00:03:33Corporal Greg Carroll, the captain wants you.
00:03:36I'll be right over.
00:03:37Where's this other sister come from?
00:03:40Talk to the kid.
00:03:41Well, what are you waiting for?
00:03:43You. The captain is waiting.
00:03:45Listen, Flunky.
00:03:46Never disturb a regular soldier when he's in conference.
00:03:48Speed it up, soldier.
00:03:50Look what's giving orders.
00:03:53Okay, shrimp.
00:03:54Let's see if you're really built for speed.
00:03:57I'll tell the captain to send a real man next time.
00:03:59Let's go.
00:04:00Hey!
00:04:01Hey, remember Greg at the date tonight?
00:04:03Looking for something?
00:04:15Yes, you.
00:04:17In there?
00:04:18This is no time to be funny.
00:04:19I'm sorry, sir. I couldn't help that one.
00:04:21Just looking at my desk. Can I help you find it?
00:04:23You'd better find it. You're under suspicion.
00:04:26Say, maybe you'd better tell me what this is all about, Lieutenant.
00:04:28What do you want?
00:04:30I'm reporting, sir.
00:04:32Delivering Corporal Greg Carroll to the captain.
00:04:34What delayed you?
00:04:36He ran ahead of me, sir.
00:04:38Wait outside.
00:04:40Come in to the captain.
00:04:47Corporal Greg Carroll.
00:04:50Carol, have you ever opened this private safe?
00:04:55No, sir.
00:04:56Do you know how to open it?
00:04:57Oh, yes, sir.
00:04:58Just where did you learn that?
00:04:59Well, for one thing, I have good ear, sir.
00:05:02Oh, I suppose you heard the tumblers drop.
00:05:03Well, I don't mean that, Captain, but you see, sir, you mumble when you open the safe.
00:05:0818 to the right.
00:05:09Never mind the invitation.
00:05:12Maybe you can tell us how a secret document was taken from that safe.
00:05:15Oh, you mean the paper that was in that folder?
00:05:17Yes, that's exactly what I do mean.
00:05:20Why did you take it out of that safe?
00:05:22Well, I didn't, sir.
00:05:23You left it on the desk, and I just filed it away for safekeeping.
00:05:27It's my job.
00:05:29You get that back right away.
00:05:31Yes, sir.
00:05:32Just a second, Carroll.
00:05:34I'd like to ask you a question.
00:05:35Go ahead.
00:05:36How could you file it properly without reading it?
00:05:38Even if you read it, he wouldn't understand it.
00:05:40But I did know what it was.
00:05:42There were four names on it.
00:05:43Men working on secret inventions.
00:05:45Keep quiet, Carroll.
00:05:46That's something not even the lieutenant should know.
00:05:49Captain, I knew it because my brother's name is on the list.
00:05:51He's a professor.
00:05:53They took him out of technical school to work on this invention.
00:05:55It's a secret explosive.
00:05:57Well, I didn't know that myself.
00:05:59Bring me the file.
00:06:00Yes, sir.
00:06:15Hello, soldier.
00:06:31Hi, Alma.
00:06:33Why didn't you come for this?
00:06:36I've been busy.
00:06:39Well, what happened to the big plate you were giving me?
00:06:42Why the quick freeze?
00:06:43I thought I was in the lieutenant's territory.
00:06:48Don't let that bother you.
00:06:51No?
00:06:53No.
00:07:06There's a file, sir.
00:07:08What was that paper she gave you?
00:07:10Well, that's a list of tonight's entertainment in the recreation hall.
00:07:14Does she come in here very often?
00:07:15Well, every day.
00:07:16You know what's against orders to let any outsider in these offices.
00:07:19Well, I thought the guard outside would have been given instructions if it weren't permitted, sir.
00:07:24Follow me.
00:07:26Lieutenant, bring in the guard.
00:07:27Yes, sir.
00:07:30Captain, I'd like you to believe that no one else saw that list of names.
00:07:32Yes.
00:07:32Yes.
00:07:32Yes.
00:07:32Yes.
00:07:32Yes.
00:07:32Yes.
00:07:32Yes.
00:07:33Yes.
00:07:33Yes.
00:07:33Yes.
00:07:33Yes.
00:07:33Yes.
00:07:33Yes.
00:07:34Yes.
00:07:34Yes.
00:07:35Yes.
00:07:36Yes.
00:07:37Yes.
00:07:38Yes.
00:07:39Look at those names right now.
00:07:41And every man on that list is in danger.
00:07:44Well, luckily there weren't any addresses on it.
00:07:46Yeah.
00:07:46Luckily, I kept those in the safe.
00:07:49Well, those men ought to be protected, sir.
00:07:50We ought to warn them.
00:07:51I suppose you'd like to sound the alarm and scare the daylights out of those poor scientists.
00:07:56No.
00:07:56We'd report this to military intelligence.
00:07:58But, sir, my brother, he's in danger.
00:08:00Can't I telephone him?
00:08:01Definitely not.
00:08:02And if you didn't take that list whoever did will want the rest of it. I'm going to hold you. You can't do any more damage
00:08:10Take him to the guard house
00:08:32I'm going to hold you.
00:09:02Yes, ma'am. Miss Almer, you set for me? Oh, yes, ma'am. I want you to take these shoes to the cobbler for me. What's a cobbler? Sam, a cobbler is a shoemaker. Now do you understand? Oh, that's what you call a cobbler.
00:09:32Now listen carefully, Sam. I want you to take these to him and tell him that they still hurt my feet.
00:09:38If he can stop feet from hurt, I can sure use a cobbler. Now hurry along, Sam. And don't forget, tell him I want him back tomorrow.
00:09:45Yes, ma'am. I am what the captain called a blizzard errand boy.
00:10:02Hey, wait a moment. What is this? You're the cobbler, ain't you?
00:10:19Yeah. Then start cobbling.
00:10:20What is this? You're the cobbler.
00:10:38Hey, if you don't pay attention to me, I'm going to make your life miserable.
00:11:02Listen, you shrimp, get up on your feet and trot over here. I've got things to say.
00:11:13Okay, I gave you plenty of chances.
00:11:18Okay.
00:11:19Yeah, I thought that'd get you. Now listen to me.
00:11:21If you don't cut this out, I'll report you to the captain.
00:11:24Yeah, what'll he do, put me in jail?
00:11:27All right. All right, what do you want?
00:11:30You got change of a dollar?
00:11:32What could you do in there with change for a dollar?
00:11:34I want a nickel to telephone.
00:11:36Are you crazy? I suppose you want me to bring a phone into you.
00:11:38No, I want you to take me to a phone.
00:11:40Listen, it's a matter of life and death.
00:11:42Yeah, for me too, if I ever let you out of there.
00:11:44Oh, so you want to be tough.
00:11:46Okay, shrimp.
00:11:48All I want to do is get you a telephone. Is there anything difficult about that?
00:11:51Do you want me to get special permission for you from the colonel?
00:11:54Oh, I have special permission from the colonel. Get me special permission from the colonel.
00:11:58I'll cover this floor for somebody.
00:12:00Okay, Sam. I'll let you in this monkey's cage.
00:12:02And one false move out of you and I'll clunk you on the ear with this.
00:12:06Uh...
00:12:08What for you locking me in here for? I haven't done nothing ever.
00:12:13I ever?
00:12:14Put that food down and I'll let you out.
00:12:16Well, where I'm going to put it?
00:12:17Throw it at him if you have to or dump it on the floor.
00:12:20Yeah, put it here.
00:12:24Only mugs like that would give you trouble.
00:12:26Yeah, I don't want no trouble. I want to get out of here.
00:12:29I suppose I tell you how to keep out of trouble.
00:12:31If you know that, how come you in here?
00:12:33Because I went against these cards.
00:12:35Uh-oh. Here it comes.
00:12:37Uh-uh. It's bad luck to walk away from them. They tell you fortune.
00:12:39They told me I was going to meet up with that shrimp there.
00:12:41What's this card?
00:12:42Ace of Spain.
00:12:43That means death and destruction.
00:12:46Death and destruction? For me?
00:12:49Oh, for the man who gets it.
00:12:50Come on. Get out of here. He's a faker, Sam.
00:12:52He said it's bad luck to walk away from them cards.
00:12:55You say your name is Sam?
00:12:57That's right.
00:12:58That's three letters in, Sam.
00:12:59One, two, three.
00:13:01Pick the third card.
00:13:03What does it say?
00:13:04Your life is a happy one.
00:13:07You attract romance.
00:13:09Where can I get some of these?
00:13:11Oh, you can have these cheap.
00:13:13How much money have you got?
00:13:14Oh, let's see. I know.
00:13:16Oh, in that last game, let's see.
00:13:18These dice, rabbit foot, and a nickel.
00:13:20That's just what I want. The nickel.
00:13:22If you don't come out now, I'll keep you in there all night.
00:13:25I'm coming right now.
00:13:27I've got to get rid of one of these cars.
00:13:29You can have this old death and destruction.
00:13:30Come on, though. I don't want it.
00:13:32Death and destruction.
00:13:37Nice trick, soldier, getting that nickel.
00:13:40Now maybe you can pull a telephone out of your hat.
00:13:42Well, when I know the answer to that, I'll remind you of that crack.
00:13:45Death and destruction.
00:13:55Good evening.
00:13:57Good evening.
00:14:25Good evening.
00:14:27Oh, you came to the wrong place.
00:14:34But we couldn't make that mistake.
00:14:36She knows you very well.
00:14:37Her name is Alma.
00:14:39I don't remember the lady.
00:14:41But you tell her I'm sorry.
00:14:43I only repair men's shoes.
00:14:45But you must remember the lady.
00:14:47Why, your name is on her recommendation paper.
00:14:49It's Barton.
00:14:51Alma Barton.
00:14:53Oh, the Barton girl.
00:14:55Alma Barton.
00:14:57I didn't know she was here.
00:14:59You don't keep in very close touch with your friends, do you?
00:15:02Well, young girls forget old men like me.
00:15:05But my wife, she'd be glad to see Alma.
00:15:08You tell her where we are, huh?
00:15:11She's a very pretty girl, Alma.
00:15:13She should be very happy with the many soldiers at your place.
00:15:17Oh, then you did know she was in camp.
00:15:20Oh, yeah.
00:15:21You just told me.
00:15:23You tell Alma, come see us.
00:15:27Don't forget.
00:15:28Don't forget.
00:15:31I won't forget.
00:15:58I won't forget.
00:16:05Hey!
00:16:06Hey!
00:16:07Where are we going?!
00:16:28Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:16:58All yours, boys.
00:17:28Oh, Sergeant Blake.
00:17:37Oh, hi.
00:17:38Hi.
00:17:39You're always looking for news.
00:17:41How would you like to know something?
00:17:42Well, anything you've got to say, it'll be mighty pleasant to hear.
00:17:45You know that young fellow in the headquarters office?
00:17:48You mean your boyfriend?
00:17:49That's him.
00:17:50Well, they've put him in the guardhouse.
00:17:53Well, this is news.
00:17:55Why'd they do that?
00:17:56Isn't that a terrible thing for him?
00:17:58It all depends on what he did.
00:18:00That's what I thought you'd know.
00:18:02No, this is the first that I've heard of.
00:18:04Well, thanks anyway.
00:18:08Anything else I can do for you?
00:18:09Not right now.
00:18:12Okay.
00:18:12What's the idea?
00:18:20Why'd you have to blab everything?
00:18:22How'd you know I was in the guardhouse?
00:18:23I got ears and eyes, haven't I?
00:18:24What are you doing here?
00:18:25I want a telephone.
00:18:26You'll get caught.
00:18:27Not if you help me.
00:18:29Wait a minute.
00:18:30Keep down.
00:18:32Hello, Alma.
00:18:33Lieutenant, you're late.
00:18:35I've been looking for you.
00:18:37I'm afraid I'll have to cancel that date with you tonight.
00:18:40Don't say that, Alma.
00:18:41Well, I've made special arrangements.
00:18:43But you're late.
00:18:44For a very good reason.
00:18:46Look, it's for you.
00:18:49Why, it's lovely, Lieutenant.
00:18:52Oh, not Lieutenant.
00:18:55Well, you're very kind, John.
00:18:58May I take you home tonight?
00:19:01Well, I'm sorry, but I have something to do.
00:19:05You call me later.
00:19:07At home.
00:19:09I'll call you.
00:19:17Hey, you know, I've got just about one minute before they close this place.
00:19:20See if the road's clear to the telephone.
00:19:22Why don't you let me telephone for you?
00:19:24Uh-uh, this is important.
00:19:25It's private.
00:19:26Wait a minute.
00:19:28The road's clear.
00:19:29Sneak around that way.
00:19:30Okay, thanks.
00:19:35The road's clear.
00:20:05The road's clear.
00:20:35Is this Gregory?
00:20:36No, your brother's not here.
00:20:38No, I'm worried.
00:20:40He should have been home this morning.
00:20:42Now, why don't you call back in an hour?
00:20:44I can't call again.
00:20:47Tell my brother to be careful.
00:20:49He's in great danger.
00:20:52I'll wait for his call here.
00:20:55Phone me at, uh, Gladstone 1-6111.
00:20:59Phone me at 9 o'clock, 9 o'clock.
00:21:03Come on, break it up.
00:21:05Phone me at 9 o'clock.
00:21:07Break it up.
00:21:08Get going, soldiers.
00:21:09Come on, boys.
00:21:10Phone me at 9 o'clock.
00:21:13Break it up.
00:21:14Get going, soldiers.
00:21:15Uh, that's all right, Sam.
00:21:26I'll lock that up tonight.
00:21:27Miss Elma, I'd like to oblige, but I've got orders.
00:21:30And orders, orders to Sam.
00:21:31I've got to lock it up.
00:21:32I'm sorry.
00:21:33I'll do what they tell me.
00:21:38What's that you've got there, Sam?
00:21:59Miss Elma, here's a package of man at the gate for you.
00:22:02When?
00:22:03Oh, about an hour ago.
00:22:05Thanks, Sam.
00:22:06You're welcome.
00:22:08Thanks, Sam.
00:22:38I'd like very much to examine those shoes.
00:22:48Well, Captain, aren't you just a bit out of your territory?
00:22:52If you must play games, it will start with this pair.
00:22:56I'll accept your word for this pair.
00:22:58You'll accept my word for anything at this time of night.
00:23:00I've been on my feet all day.
00:23:02I'm tired.
00:23:03In that case, I must insist upon you coming to headquarters for military inspection.
00:23:09Well, I've heard a lot of proposals, but it's the first time I've ever heard it called military inspection.
00:23:17Wait a minute.
00:23:18Were you expecting a special phone call?
00:23:23Anything might happen around here.
00:23:26In that event, I'll answer it myself.
00:23:29Don't you leave here.
00:23:30Hello?
00:23:44Hello?
00:23:44Hello?
00:23:45Hello?
00:23:47Hello?
00:23:47Hello?
00:23:48You can stay here all night on three dead telephones.
00:24:01Bring on your military escort.
00:24:02I'm leaving.
00:24:07Turn on that light.
00:24:08Turn it on yourself.
00:24:17Over here.
00:24:22It said to me, Carol, lock me in here.
00:24:25Are you sure you didn't let him go?
00:24:26I'll tell you, he had a key.
00:24:27Hello?
00:24:33Yeah, this is Greg.
00:24:36Has my brother come home yet?
00:24:38No, Gregory.
00:24:39Your brother again.
00:24:40Shall I call the police?
00:24:42No.
00:24:42Wait until I can get to you.
00:24:44He's in danger, all right.
00:24:46But you can't tell the police about it.
00:24:48Well, can I phone you back at this same number when he returns?
00:24:51No, they've closed this place.
00:24:53I'll have to get in touch with you.
00:24:55Take care of yourself.
00:24:56The wrong kind of people want to know what you're working on.
00:24:59Don't let anyone in the house right.
00:25:26I can't understand it.
00:25:37Couldn't have gotten off the gate.
00:25:38There's a light.
00:25:39In a recreation hall.
00:25:49It's locked.
00:25:50I've got a key.
00:25:51Hurry.
00:25:51Where's the light?
00:26:19On the wall, sir.
00:26:27Lieutenant, look here.
00:26:29This is the crash we heard.
00:26:34He must have got out this way.
00:26:36Send an alarm.
00:26:37Give a description of Corporal Greg Carroll.
00:26:40Yes, sir.
00:26:40You know, Sergeant, that fellow worked fast to escape.
00:26:49He was in this room and we saw that light.
00:26:52And now that light is out.
00:26:54Why did he risk turning on the light?
00:26:58And why did he stop to turn it off?
00:27:01Lieutenant.
00:27:01Lieutenant.
00:27:01Captain Bryant.
00:27:22What's this about an escaped prisoner?
00:27:24It's worse than that, Colonel.
00:27:25We just found Captain Bryant murdered.
00:27:33Sergeant.
00:27:34Go over to medical department and report this to Major Fallon.
00:27:38He'll have to make an examination before we can touch the body.
00:27:40Yes, sir.
00:27:44This man who escaped.
00:27:45What's his name?
00:27:46Corporal Greg Carroll.
00:27:47You think he did the killing?
00:27:48Very likely.
00:27:50The captain used to stealing.
00:27:51Introduce me.
00:28:10Hello?
00:28:12Oh, hello, Lieutenant.
00:28:15Then you didn't forget to call.
00:28:17Alma.
00:28:19Wait, Alma.
00:28:19I've heard of time.
00:28:22Listen.
00:28:23When is the last time you saw Captain Bryant?
00:28:26Did you see him tonight?
00:28:28No.
00:28:29No, I was asleep.
00:28:34No.
00:28:35No, I didn't see the captain.
00:28:36I never talked to him.
00:28:40You sound so serious.
00:28:42What time did you leave the recreation hall?
00:28:45Now, listen carefully.
00:28:47No matter what happens, don't get excited.
00:28:50Tell them you did not see the captain.
00:28:52This is important for your sake.
00:28:54Captain Bryant has just been murdered.
00:28:57They'll question you.
00:28:59I'll try to be assigned to the case.
00:29:00Hey, turn that light out.
00:29:27Shh.
00:29:28Hey, you jeepers, you of all people.
00:29:31The bloodhounds are after you for murder.
00:29:33Get out of this place.
00:29:33They've been here looking already.
00:29:34Well, they won't come back again, then.
00:29:36Listen, we got work to do.
00:29:37Oh, we have?
00:29:38Yeah.
00:29:38I want you to drive the train of the car out the gate with me in it.
00:29:41And I get here running away.
00:29:42I have to.
00:29:43Lieutenant's got his hand mixed up in this some way.
00:29:45I don't have a chance around here.
00:29:47Okay, Greg.
00:29:48I ain't let a pal down yet.
00:29:49But give me a promise.
00:29:50Come to my hanging.
00:29:52All you have to do is get the car ready and wait.
00:29:54I have to get something out of the captain's safe.
00:29:56Hey, you dapper, you're in enough trouble.
00:29:57What's in the safe that's so important?
00:29:59It's a paper with some addresses.
00:30:00And when the captain's dead, I can't let anyone else see it.
00:30:02Oh, brother, this is worse than a movie melodrama.
00:30:05Well, I'm in this deep.
00:30:06Get going.
00:30:07I'll get the car.
00:30:08Oh, thanks.
00:30:08Everything all right?
00:30:29Yeah.
00:30:29We haven't got all night.
00:30:38Special trip for the colonel.
00:30:47Hello.
00:31:09Now, get this carefully.
00:31:11The girl that works in the recreation hall, Alma.
00:31:14Alma Barton.
00:31:15She was the last one to see the captain alive.
00:31:17I know the girl.
00:31:19Yes.
00:31:20Yes, I understand.
00:31:22But how can I reach you afterward?
00:31:24Give me that again.
00:31:29All right, I'll meet you there.
00:31:34Mamie?
00:31:36Oh, Mamie?
00:31:38If anybody calls for me, I won't be back until late.
00:31:40I'll just know it.
00:31:42Every time that man calls, my heart does a power die.
00:31:45Oh, Mamie, you and I have to eat, and I have to earn the money.
00:31:47Yeah, we eat, and someday they may both stop eating.
00:31:49Oh, Mamie.
00:31:52Why do I say them things?
00:31:54What's the matter with me?
00:31:56Now I'm going to have one of my worrying nights again.
00:32:01I'm in.
00:32:02Sorry you have such difficulty in finding me, but we have had a tragedy.
00:32:10Captain Bryant was murdered.
00:32:11Oh, yes, yes.
00:32:12So I just heard.
00:32:13Well, maybe I can help you.
00:32:15My name is Wallace.
00:32:15I'm from military intelligence.
00:32:17You're Colonel Longstreet?
00:32:18Yes.
00:32:19Well, you certainly jumped onto this case quickly enough.
00:32:21Well, that isn't why I'm here.
00:32:23You have a young soldier in your camp by the name of Greg Carroll.
00:32:25Why, yes.
00:32:27He's the man we think killed Captain Bryant.
00:32:30No, that doesn't check with my record.
00:32:32He's the brother of a very important government scientist who was killed last night.
00:32:38Maybe there's some important connection between the two cases.
00:32:42Yes, it could be.
00:32:44But, of course, for the moment, my interest is in your soldier, Greg Carroll.
00:32:48It seems that he previously worked for his brother and has some knowledge of a secret formula.
00:32:54I wish I could help you, but he's just escaped.
00:32:57And my orders were to turn heaven and earth to find him.
00:33:00Well, excuse me a moment.
00:33:02Yes.
00:33:02Yes.
00:33:11Say, I've been thinking as long as those papers are so important, why don't you give them to me before they catch you?
00:33:22Oh, then they're going to catch me?
00:33:24Besides, I haven't got the papers.
00:33:25I'd burn them.
00:33:26Well, that's kind of dumb, isn't it?
00:33:28Oh, I don't know.
00:33:29I'm the only one who knows it.
00:33:30And it's right in here.
00:33:32Well, are we on a picnic or am I hauling a fugitive?
00:33:34Where do we go from here?
00:33:35I want to go to 328 Woodbury Street.
00:33:36Oh, you'll be sorry.
00:33:38Why?
00:33:38That's Alma.
00:33:39That's one gal you better hide from while you're in this pickle.
00:33:41Oh, yeah, Alma can be a big help to me right now.
00:33:43Okay, brother.
00:33:44Hop in.
00:33:45I'm now the driver of a suicide wagon.
00:33:47But I'm not going to drive through town with a criminal in uniform.
00:33:49You're going to hike it part of the way.
00:33:59Come in.
00:34:04I'm just going through the captain's papers to see if I can find some reason for this tragedy.
00:34:07Somebody pick her over there.
00:34:10Be careful and don't touch her.
00:34:11I want to leave it for military intelligence.
00:34:14Colonel, I'd like to ask a special favor.
00:34:17In civilian life, I run a newspaper.
00:34:18And that training might be useful to me right now.
00:34:21I'd like to help you with this case.
00:34:22Well, I admire your spirit, Sergeant.
00:34:24Lieutenant Harmon had the same idea.
00:34:27Why don't you work with him?
00:34:28Oh, thank you, sir.
00:34:29We'll go over to this address and join him.
00:34:31I sent two soldiers over with him.
00:34:35That's this girl, Alma.
00:34:36Yes, the girl from the recreation hall.
00:34:38Do you know the apartment number?
00:34:40I've checked it.
00:34:41It's 77, sir.
00:34:42Correct.

00:58:08the patient becomes lightheaded and delirious
00:58:11then he's ill and talks like a delirious person
00:58:14if he doesn't say what we want to hear
00:58:16then we run the temperature up to 150 or more
00:58:18then his patient dies
