00:07:10That was my first and last flight.
00:07:12Unless I get more dough.
00:07:15For just a moment. You made a deal.
00:07:17The boss won't pay anymore.
00:07:18There was nothing in my deal about flying under these conditions.
00:07:21You knew that there would be certain risks.
00:07:23Sure, but you promised me a certain amount of protection,
00:07:25which I didn't get.
00:07:26So tell your boss I want more money.
00:07:42I want more money.
00:07:55Perhaps...
00:07:56A thousand welcomes, Mr. Brad.

00:11:50Would you, please?
00:11:52Would you like me to introduce you?
00:11:54That won't be necessary, thank you.
00:12:17Dear Brad, sorry about this.
00:12:22I bet all I can take.
00:12:24Maybe heaven isn't too particular about who they let in.
00:12:29Best of luck to the last of the old gang.
00:12:32Steve.
00:12:59Desk clerk.
00:13:02Mrs. Dunham.
00:13:04Mr. Ellis has already checked out.
00:13:08You better send the coroner up for his bags.
00:13:20That's Mr. Dunham now.
00:13:22Good evening, Mr. Dunham.
00:13:24Evening, Mike.
00:13:30Just one.
00:13:31Is Mr. Ellis joining you tonight?
00:13:33No.
00:13:34Feeling poorly, is he?
00:13:36He never felt better in his life.
00:13:39He's dead.
00:13:43May the saints have mercy on his soul.
00:13:46There were those that didn't deserve to clean his shoes that found fault with him.
00:13:51But he was a fine gentleman.
00:13:54I'll drink to that.
00:13:56With your permission, sir.
00:13:58I'd like to join you.
00:14:13How about a couple drinks, Mike?
00:14:14Coming up, sir.
00:14:24Pretty stuffy around here.
00:14:26Yeah, let's move down there.
00:14:27The climate's better.
00:14:51Will you excuse me just a moment?
00:14:53I'll be right back.
00:14:57Good evening, Mr. Dunham.
00:14:59Did you give my message to you, boss?
00:15:01What message do you mean?
00:15:02There'd be no more flights unless I get more dough.
00:15:05But I told you that was the price.
00:15:07If you haven't got the nerve to tell him I will, take me to him.
00:15:11No one sees the boss and the boss sees no one.
00:15:14He'd better see me.
00:15:16You are in no position to make demands.
00:15:19We had an understanding.
00:15:21Take it or leave it.
00:15:41Louis.
00:15:42Yes, Mr. Brad.
00:15:43In what way can I serve you?
00:15:44You know I flew a plane in tonight, don't you?
00:15:46Well, yes and no.
00:15:49Come on now, Lou.
00:15:49You're a smart little guy.
00:15:50Tell me, where'd they take the cargo?
00:15:53Well, sir, I seem to have heard a rumor.
00:15:56Only a rumor, mind you,
00:15:57that the cargo was delivered to a warehouse
00:16:00on the street of Fallen Leaves.
00:16:02My humble rickshaw is at your service.
00:16:27Mr. Brad, you might find this key of some use to you.
00:16:32Don't wait for me.
00:16:34Don't wait for me.
00:16:38Don't wait for me.
00:16:39Don't wait for me.
00:16:40Don't wait for me.
00:16:41Don't wait for me.
00:16:43Don't wait for me.
00:16:45Don't wait for me.
00:16:47Don't wait for me.
00:16:48Don't wait for me.
00:16:50Don't wait for me.
00:16:53Don't wait for me.
00:17:21Hey, stop!
00:17:27Compliments of Brad Dunham.
00:17:55Yes, Mr. Dunham.
00:18:00What's this rumor I hear about my having to give up my room?
00:18:04Well, uh, I, uh, I, it's a clerical error, Mr. Dunham.
00:18:08We won't say any more about it.
00:18:09I see that you don't.
00:18:20Mr. Cartwrights.
00:18:22I think Mr. Dunham is going to work out very nicely.
00:18:25Very nicely, indeed.
00:18:27Mike?
00:18:27Yes, Mr. Dunham?
00:18:28How would you like to have it take a real scotch instead of that lighter fluid you've been dishing out?
00:18:34I haven't spent an evening with those two boys since before the war.
00:18:37Well, pull up a couple glasses and sit down.
00:18:38Yes, sir.
00:18:51Is it real?
00:18:52That it is.
00:18:54It looks like home.
00:18:55It tastes like home, too.
00:18:58Mike, a glass for the lady.
00:19:00No, thank you.
00:19:02I just wanted to touch it.
00:19:05Homesick?
00:19:06A little.
00:19:07Been away long?
00:19:08It seems like years, but it's not, actually.
00:19:11It's just that everything here seems so, so strange.
00:19:14That's the trouble with foreign countries.
00:19:16Everything's so foreign.
00:19:19You just get here?
00:19:21Yesterday.
00:19:22I'm a field worker with the International Settlement.
00:19:25My name is Arnold.
00:19:26Linda Arnold.
00:19:28Hello.
00:19:30Do you make a hobby of talking to strangers and bars?
00:19:33Not usually, but if you looked American, I saw no harm in it.
00:19:37It's a sense you don't know who I am.
00:19:39Should I?
00:19:41Brad Dunham.
00:19:44Did they mean anything to you?
00:19:46No.
00:19:48Well, let me give it to you fast.
00:19:50Nice girls aren't supposed to talk to me, much less be sane with me.
00:19:54Why?
00:19:56I'm a bottle with a label on it.
00:19:58It says poison, and there's no antidote, unless this is it.
00:20:07I feel no ill effects.
00:20:09Stick around.
00:20:11You will.
00:20:14Cigarette?
00:20:15Thank you, no.
00:20:16Mr. Dunham.
00:20:19Don't go away, baby.
00:20:20You'll see what I mean.
00:20:23This end of the bar is closed.
00:20:25Mr. Dunham, I am very much interested in knowing where you put that certain large package.
00:20:37Didn't you hear me, Mr. Dunham?
00:20:39Where did you hide that package?
00:20:41I talked to nobody but the boss.
00:20:44As I was saying, Miss Arnold, you must allow me to show you the points of interest in Shanghai.
00:20:49We'll start off with the two crummy characters in back of me.
00:20:52The little one is a small-time toughie who was weaned on a water pistol.
00:20:56And the other...
00:20:57Mr. Dunham.
00:20:59Do I talk to the boss?
00:21:03Come with me.
00:21:05Miss Arnold, you take care of those two guys, and I'll take care of these two.
00:21:11Come on, boys.
00:21:27I've been here before.
00:21:37Come on.
00:21:38Follow me.
00:22:24Well, hello.
00:22:26Good evening, Mr. Donald. So nice of you to drop in.
00:22:31You refused to talk to me, Madam Barunov. I had to bring him here.
00:22:35This isn't the first time you've been unable to carry out my orders.
00:22:38Never send a boy to do a man's work.
00:22:40Watch your rotten mouth or I'll...
00:22:41Ramon.
00:22:47And now, Mr. Donald.
00:22:52Shall we get down to business?
00:22:53I made a deal to talk with the boss. Alone.
00:22:59Go. Close the door.
00:23:09Hmm. The black market sure pays.
00:23:13I must say your methods are a little flamboyant, Mr. Donald.
00:23:16You mean stealing the truck?
00:23:18You've got results.
00:23:19I'm talking to the boss.
00:23:23And you might have been killed.
00:23:26Not by the guys you got working for you now.
00:23:30How do you know you're safe with me?
00:23:32How do you know I haven't got a gun?
00:23:37Because your clothes fit you much too well.
00:23:41It's plain to see that you haven't got a gun either.
00:23:44All this is very charming, Mr. Dunham.
00:23:47But it doesn't get me back my truck.
00:23:50It's yours.
00:23:51Just like that?
00:23:54No.
00:23:55Oh.
00:23:57And your condition?
00:23:58I want a cut.
00:24:01How much of a cut do you expect to get for one truck?
00:24:05Half.
00:24:06Partners.
00:24:09You're very amusing.
00:24:12It's not that funny.
00:24:15Look.
00:24:16I flew the cargo.
00:24:18Then hijacked it myself.
00:24:19And now I've got it stashed away where your surly characters will never find it.
00:24:23You must admit that's a pretty good night's work for one guy.
00:24:26I'm willing to admit that.
00:24:28And the night isn't over yet.
00:24:34Do you really think you can talk yourself into a partnership on the strength of one truckload of cargo?
00:24:40No.
00:24:41The truck was the key to your door.
00:24:44But I give you credit for knowing a good thing when you see it.
00:24:47Meaning you?
00:24:49Meaning me.
00:24:52You're much too modest, Mr. Dunham.
00:24:56Modesty doesn't pay off.
00:24:58You should know that.
00:25:00I don't like the trend your conversation is taking.
00:25:03What do you want?
00:25:04Polite conversation or results?
00:25:07Look.
00:25:07I'm the only one that talks your language around here.
00:25:10And it doesn't take an expert to see what your outfit needs as a man's touch.
00:25:15And you're that man.
00:25:17That's right.
00:25:18You've got the black market cornered, but you're not running it right.
00:25:22And you think you could run it right?
00:25:24What do you got to lose?
00:25:25If I double your business and you cut me in for half,
00:25:28you'd still be making as much as you're making now.
00:25:30And I'd be doing all the dirty work.
00:25:32You could just sit back and relax.
00:25:35And stay beautiful.
00:25:45You make it sound very attractive.
00:25:48From where I'm standing, it is.
00:26:02Shall we drink to a successful partnership?
00:26:21That still doesn't prove I'm a partner.
00:26:25You are hard to convince.
00:26:39My partner wants to give you an order.
00:26:41Partner?
00:26:42Yes.
00:26:43Go and pick up the truck.
00:26:44It's in the garage in back of 2300 Rhodes Drive.
00:26:47Hurry back.
00:26:51If he gives orders, I don't take them.
00:26:53Okay, then.
00:26:55You're fired.
00:26:56Get out.
00:26:57It's crowded in here.
00:27:00You heard him.
00:27:09Satisfied?
00:27:12Not yet.
00:27:41She went home, Mr. Brad, about an hour ago.
00:27:43Oh, girls like her don't wait in bars.
00:27:45Oh, that's too bad.
00:27:48Did she leave any message?
00:27:49Yes.
00:27:50She said she'd get in touch with you.
00:27:51She did?
00:27:53You made a hit with the little lady.
00:27:55Night, Captain.
00:27:56No, thanks.
00:27:57What I need is some sleep.
00:27:58Good night, Mike.
00:27:59Good night, Mr. Brad.
00:28:33Good night, Mr. Brad.
00:28:37Let me.
00:28:45Brad.
00:28:46Brad.
00:28:49Brad, you son of a gun.
00:28:50It's really you.
00:28:51Right in the flesh.
00:28:52Oh, I'm glad to see you.
00:28:54I'm glad to see you.
00:28:55You know, for a minute I thought I was asleep and having a nightmare.
00:28:58I'm awake looking at one.
00:29:01Ah, gee, four long ears.
00:29:05You know, I really shouldn't talk to you.
00:29:09Why?
00:29:10I wrote you over a dozen letters.
00:29:13I didn't get them.
00:29:15I didn't know what had happened to you.
00:29:19Last letter I wrote came back marked address unknown.
00:29:24Were you killed?
00:29:26Yeah.
00:29:27But I refused to stay buried.
00:29:31Good for you.
00:29:32Where you stand?
00:29:33Right here.
00:29:35Oh.
00:29:37Well, you just got yourself a roommate.
00:29:39Well, what are we waiting for?
00:29:41Come on.
00:29:42Boy, oh boy, this is my lucky day.
00:29:45Remind me to send a thank you note to my guardian angel.
00:29:49Oh, uh, Mr. Andrews is moving in with me.
00:29:51Is that all right with you?
00:29:52Yes, sir.
00:29:53Anything you say, sir.
00:30:01Just like that.
00:30:12You know the only thing missing out?
00:30:14Old Mrs. McGraw and he pounded on the door and yelled,
00:30:17There'd be no cooking in the rooms, boys.
00:30:19And could you be letting me have the loan of a bottle of gin?
00:30:23What happened to the old battle axe?
00:30:25Last I heard of her, she was captain of a landing barge on D-Day.
00:30:29Same old mark.
00:30:31Oh, it's nice to know some things haven't changed.
00:30:35That's your crew?
00:30:36It was.
00:30:37I heard about the rough deal the four of you got.
00:30:40What did you think?
00:30:43You didn't have to ask me that.
00:30:46Parker, Rourke, and...
00:30:50Ellis, too?
00:30:54Oh, that's too bad.
00:30:56How'd it happen?
00:30:58He took his own life.
00:31:00He never really got over it after the four of us got kicked out of the army.
00:31:04He lost everything except his pride.
00:31:06When he lost Thaddy.
00:31:09That's tough.
00:31:11Well, you seem to have come out of it all right.
00:31:14Yeah, I'm all right.
00:31:18Let's hit the sack, huh?
00:31:20That's for me.
00:31:23A real bed.
00:31:25You sheets.
00:31:26Oh, dreamland.
00:31:28Here I come.
00:31:30You know, Brent,
00:31:31this is my idea of the way to cover a story.
00:31:35What are you on now?
00:31:38Didn't I tell you?
00:31:39Oh, they're letting me write my own ticket on the biggest story of the day.
00:31:45Exotic intrigue.
00:31:47Mysterious murders.
00:31:49All the trimmings complete with pictures.
00:31:52What is that, or can't you tell?
00:31:55Sure.
00:31:56Sure, I can tell you.
00:31:59I'd like, Mark.
00:32:02Good night, Brad.
00:32:06Good night, Mark.
00:32:08Good night.
00:32:23Good night.
00:32:49Brought me to you
00:32:51Bringing a new delight
00:32:58You, you were the laurel I luring me on
00:33:05We kissed
00:33:10And my resistance was gone
00:33:14Gone, gone, intrigued, two hearts in league, without a word, clearly we heard the call, and now you're mine, my
00:33:37love,
00:33:40and love is all, intrigue, intrigue.
00:34:02Enjoy your dinner?
00:34:03It was wonderful. I love Chinese food.
00:34:06This is the one place in Shanghai where you can get the kind of Chinese dishes you only can get
00:34:09back in the States.
00:34:15Like to dance, Miss Arnold?
00:34:18Would you like to dance, Miss Arnold?
00:34:21Oh, I'd love to.
00:34:35I've forgotten the people can have fun.
00:34:38I'd sort of forgotten it too.
00:34:42It's hard to believe that you're a social service worker.
00:34:45Why?
00:34:46You dance too well.
00:34:47Thank you. I like dancing. Do you dance a great deal?
00:34:51No, but from now on I will.
00:35:04All right, here we go.
00:35:08Dateline Shanghai, quote behind the black market, unquote, by Mark Andrews.
00:35:16Shanghai pleads for food.
00:35:18Years of war have sharpened China's demand for essential goods from abroad.
00:35:24Every man, woman, and child fights for mere existence.
00:35:27Struggles desperately for the bare necessities of life.
00:35:32As the cost of living soars to fantastic heights, Shanghai bulges with milling crowds eager to buy common everyday articles
00:35:40at prices as much as 5,000 times higher than pre-war.
00:35:45Those lucky enough to possess them exchange their jewels and even their prized family heirlooms for bundles of inflated paper
00:35:52money.
00:35:53The rate of exchange soars to more than 2,000 Chinese dollars for every one American dollar.
00:35:59Openly vending their smuggled and pilfered goods, the black marketeers are one of Shanghai's biggest problems.
00:36:05Handbags for the ladies, clothing, shoes, stockings, all kinds and shades for those who can afford them.
00:36:15Knick-knacks for the men, and canned goods by the thousands.
00:36:19Canned vegetables are much in demand, even at black market prices.
00:36:22The main diet is rice, with an occasional bit of green vegetable or fish.
00:36:26The only escape from this suffering and privation is death.
00:36:31The profiteers who control the black market must be singled out and publicly exposed.
00:36:36Those individuals who, blinded by greed, control food, control the lives of innocent men, women and children.
00:36:49And those who control lives, control nations, races, and the course of the world.
00:37:09We could possibly see your way to accepting a few more children in this car.
00:37:13I wish we could, sir, but I don't quite see how we could manage.
00:37:17How many are there in this group?
00:37:18Twenty-two.
00:37:19Twenty-two.
00:37:20But these are not ordinary cases, I assure you.
00:37:23They're orphans.
00:37:24Their parents died of starvation in the Shaanxi province.
00:37:27If something is not done for them, they will die too.
00:37:30Something must be done.
00:37:32Do you think we could take them in, Miss Parker?
00:37:35I think we can manage, if we cut the rations again.
00:37:38Thank you. Thank you very much.
00:37:40We're doing the best we can, but it's not enough.
00:37:43The authorities are making arrests every day.
00:37:46And yet the black market continues.
00:37:48Controlled by a few who place the love of money above the lives of children.
00:37:52Thank you again for your kindness.
00:37:54Madame Barinov, Miss Carr, Miss Parker.
00:38:01Excuse me.
00:38:02It's time to serve our elaborate one-course lunch.
00:38:27Thank you, Miss Parker.
00:38:31Thank you, Miss Parker.
00:38:35Thank you, Miss Parker.
00:39:00I'm glad you came over today.
00:39:02I have a few important problems I'd like to discuss with you.
00:39:05Of course.
00:39:10I'll do anything I can to help the situation.
00:39:12Would you mind looking this over?
00:39:16Children, this is Mr. Dunham.
00:39:18Hello, Mr. Dunham.
00:39:20Hiya.
00:39:21Are you an orphan, too?
00:39:23Yes, I suppose you could call me that.
00:39:26Did your parents die in the hills?
00:39:29Now, Mia, run along and have your lunch.
00:39:32You mustn't mind them.
00:39:34I don't.
00:39:35I was a kid once myself.
00:39:39Excuse me, it's time for the children's games.
00:39:42All right, children.
00:39:44Come along.
00:39:44It's time for games.
00:40:04All right.
00:40:07All right.
00:40:07All right.
00:40:08Now what?
00:40:09We'll choose upsides.
00:40:10Well, we already have our team, sir.
00:40:12Who's the pitcher?
00:40:14I propel the ball from the mound, sir.
00:40:16Well, that's one way of doing it.
00:40:18Anybody around here?
00:40:20The umpire?
00:40:22Well, I can't say that I blame you.
00:40:24If it's all right with both sides, I'll call them as I see them.
00:40:29We have the utmost confidence in your judgment as the arbitrator, sir.
00:40:34It's plain you didn't play in Brooklyn.
00:40:36All right.
00:40:37Then let's play ball.
00:40:37Come on.
00:40:51Strike one.
00:40:52Beg your pardon, sir, but it seemed to me that ball was rather wide.
00:40:56I'll watch it.
00:40:57Thank you, sir.
00:41:12Do they do a hit that way in Brooklyn, sir?
00:41:16Once in a while.
00:41:20Next batter.
00:41:28I've never seen them enjoy themselves so much.
00:41:31I'm having a pretty good time myself.
00:41:33All right.
00:41:34Play ball.
00:41:49Hey, Shorty.
00:41:50Are you all right?
00:41:51I'm afraid baseball isn't quite the game for them.
00:41:55They're not very strong, you know.
00:41:56They don't get very much to eat.
00:41:57Why don't you feed them more?
00:41:59Feed them more?
00:42:00What do you think we do here?
00:42:01Eat it ourselves?
00:42:02There isn't enough to go around.
00:42:04I'm sorry.
00:42:06I didn't know.
00:42:07Many people don't know unless they see it with their own eyes.
00:42:10The black market doesn't touch their lives, but it touches these lives very deeply.
00:42:15Come on.
00:42:15Come on.
00:42:19Come on, children.
00:42:20Back to classes.
00:42:35Thank you for playing with us, Mr. Dunham.
00:42:37That's okay, sweetheart.
00:42:39Are you coming back again, Mr. Dunham?
00:42:42Try and keep me away.
00:42:45Come along, Mia.
00:43:13What do they do?
00:43:16Are you coming back?
00:43:16Let's go, Miss?
00:43:16what happened we were in the outer harbor signaling for clearance to enter when
00:43:22there was a burst of machine gun fire go ahead the first burst killed the
00:43:27helmsman and got me in the arm then they hoped to and came aboard six of them I
00:43:33did what I could I'm not blaming you recognize any of the men it was too dark
00:43:38and it happened too fast when I came to they were a drift and the cargo had been
00:43:44taken up 8,000 pounds of rice at 90 cents a pound $16,000 American Louie you stay

00:44:29custom of my country you know boats do any of you gentlemen know anything about mr. Dunham's boats

00:44:41what hit him the other may lose an arm and I lost $16,000 worth of cargo that's most unfortunate
00:44:49most
00:44:49unfortunate rice is so difficult to get not for the guys who stole it off my boat and how did
00:44:56you
00:44:56know it was rice my dear mr. Dunham you seem to be laboring under a misapprehension am I are you
00:45:05accusing me of piracy on the high seas that's right this is very amusing mr. Dunham very you have proof

00:51:40I came 8,000 miles to find out
00:51:43and I'm going to
00:51:44well you mustn't mind the way he talks
00:51:48you know
00:51:49I've got a hunch that crazy guy likes you
00:51:53oh he may have a strange way of showing it
00:51:58then he's a strange guy
00:52:07your costume is perfect Mr. Brad
00:52:11the truck should be along any moment now

00:52:15six tons
00:52:16well Mr. Cradion will still owe us two tons

00:53:13Move that animal.
00:53:33Move that animal.
00:53:37Come on.
00:54:03Move that animal.
00:54:33Did you tell that guy a Chinese?
00:54:35I told him he looked like the donkey's father.
00:54:38Nah.
00:54:39His ears aren't long enough.
00:54:47Miss Parker.
00:54:48Miss Parker.
00:54:49Oh, the most wonderful thing has happened.
00:54:51A few moments ago a truck drove in and delivered 500 pounds of rice.
00:54:54This note came with it.
00:54:57Just so the Shanghai Dodgers don't fall down running around the bases.
00:55:02The young part.
00:55:13You got anything for me?
00:55:14Just the cable office called.
00:55:16Oh, good.
00:55:18Get him back for me, will ya?
00:55:19I'll take the call upstairs in my room.
00:55:23Now get me the cable office and put it through to room 33.
00:55:36Yeah?
00:55:38Well, that's Mr. Andrews.
00:55:40No, no, that won't be necessary.
00:55:43Just read it to me.
00:55:44Dateline, Washington, D.C.
00:55:46War Department records of Brad Dunham Court Marshal show syndicate handling smuggled contraband existed.
00:55:52No mention Tamara Baranoff in this connection.
00:55:55If your facts warrant, we will back to limit investigation to clear any former Army flyer.
00:56:00It's signed, Bartry, Chief of Bureau.
00:56:03Okay.
00:56:05Thanks.
00:56:10Mr. Mark Andrews, madam.
00:56:14How nice of you to drop in.
00:56:16How good of you to see me.
00:56:17A drink?
00:56:19No, thanks.
00:56:20Not during business hours.
00:56:23You wish to see me?
00:56:24Do you mind if I get directly to the point?
00:56:27No, I prefer it that way.
00:56:29Good.
00:56:30You're a very attractive and very clever woman.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:34Therefore, I shall try neither to flatter nor outwit you.
00:56:40You're one of the powers in the black market, aren't you?
00:56:43Yes.
00:56:44Previous to that, you were engaged in other more illegal activities, were you not?
00:56:51Yes.
00:56:53Thank you for giving me honest answers.
00:56:56Not at all.
00:56:57If you print any of this, I shall, of course, sue you for libel.
00:57:02I don't intend to print any of this.
00:57:04Yet.
00:57:05Well, then why may I ask, have you come to see me?
00:57:09Coffee?
00:57:09Oh, thanks.
00:57:11I came to make a bargain.
00:57:14I'm afraid you'll have to be more explicit.
00:57:16I intend to be.
00:57:17Brad Dunham is my friend.
00:57:19For almost three years, he's lived under a cloud.
00:57:22The result of a court-martial and dishonorable discharge of which he was completely undeserving.
00:57:29I fail to see in what way this affects me.
00:57:32I believe you had something to do with the cargo on Brad's plane.
00:57:38I?
00:57:40Uh-huh.
00:57:43You can prove that.
00:57:44Maybe.
00:57:47I see.
00:57:54And your bargain?
00:57:56I'll minimize your participation in the black market in exchange for a clean bill of health for Brad.
00:58:09And if I refuse?
00:58:11I'll continue my investigation until they reopen the court-martial.
00:58:14And then?
00:58:15You'll hang.
00:58:16Or do they behead people in this country for smuggling contraband during wartime?
00:58:21You're most insolent, Mr. Andrews.
00:58:23The truth often is.
00:58:25Well, what do you say?
00:58:28I say no.
00:58:31And furthermore, I would suggest that your investigations into my private life stop.
00:58:36No can do.
00:58:37I'm a reporter.
00:58:38I've got a job.
00:58:38You're it.
00:58:40You sure you won't change your mind?
00:58:44I'm disappointed in you.
00:58:45I thought you'd see the advantage in our bargain.
00:58:48I still think you're very attractive.
00:58:51In fact, I believe you will be the most beautiful woman ever to lose her head in the city of
00:58:55Shanghai.
00:59:19Wellington 693.
00:59:24I'd like to speak with Mr. Caridian.
00:59:26Tell him, please.
00:59:27Tell him Madame Baranoff was calling.
00:59:38Come in.
00:59:43Mr. Andrews?
00:59:47Yeah?
00:59:48Forgive us for intruding like this.
00:59:50I doubt very much that if we had announced ourselves, you would have seen us.
00:59:53What do you want?
00:59:54To talk to you.
00:59:56I've been reading your articles with great interest.
00:59:58Great interest.
01:00:00Oh, but possibly you do not know who I am.
01:00:02Your manner is very familiar.
01:00:04My name is Caridian.
01:00:06I'm in the importing business.
01:00:08That scowling gentleman leaning against a door is associated with me.
01:00:13May I sit down?
01:00:14You boys get a good price for the rice you lifted off Mr. Dunham's boat.
01:00:18Excellent.
01:00:19We'd turn a very neat profit.
01:00:21But I did not intrude on you to discuss my business.
01:00:25But yours.
01:00:29More facts for your loyal readers?
01:00:31Yeah, if you don't mind.
01:00:34I don't like dirt on my copy.
01:00:36I see.
01:00:37You prefer dirt in it.
01:00:40What a pity to waste a talent like yours on a muckraking business.
01:00:44Well, we don't make the facts.
01:00:45We just print them.
01:00:46What good does it do?
01:00:48Nothing is deader than yesterday's newspaper.
01:00:51Unless it be yesterday's newspaper man.
01:00:55Mr. Caridian, if every man who's threatened me were laid end to end, they'd all look like you.
01:01:00Not a threat, Mr. Andrews.
01:01:02Or to say a business proposition.
01:01:05Sorry, no bribes today.
01:01:07Mr. Andrews, you're not a bright-eyed reporter just out of college.
01:01:11You're a practical man of the world.
01:01:13Your work shows it.
01:01:16Why don't you write my editor? Maybe give me a raise.
01:01:19Exactly. Something tangible to show.
01:01:22You'd have that with me.
01:01:24And plenty of time to devote yourself to a novel or a play.
01:01:28Are not all reporters going to retire and write a play?
01:01:31Not this one.
01:01:33I'll go to my grave turning over flat rocks and exposing vermin like you.
01:01:39To your grave?
01:01:41Why go sooner than you have to?
01:01:44Another point, Mr. Andrews.
01:01:45You may find that your investigations will lead you closer to home than you think.
01:01:54Make that plainer.
01:01:57Your friend, Mr. Dunham, has been extraordinarily successful in the importing business.
01:02:02Has it not occurred to you that he's perhaps been a little too successful?
01:02:07Get out!
01:02:09Ask him.
01:02:13Ask him what he did with six tons of my rice.
01:02:16I'm still two tons ahead.
01:02:19So you see, Mr. Andrews.
01:02:20It would be best all around if you stopped exactly where you are now.
01:02:25Get out!
01:02:30If you do not, I would suggest that you write your own obituary.
01:02:37I have an idea it is going to be printed sooner than you think.
01:02:43Good day, Mr. Andrews.
01:02:49Good day, Mr. Andrews.
01:02:50Now let's go!
01:02:51Now let's go!
01:02:55Go!
01:02:56Go!
01:02:57Go!
01:03:10Go!
01:03:12Go!
01:03:13Go!
01:03:13Go!
01:03:14Go!
01:03:17Good enough, sir?
01:03:32Hiya, Mark. You look very comfortable.
01:03:35Hiya, fella. Have a good day?
01:03:37Okay.
01:03:39Did you just have a couple of visitors?
01:03:42Yeah.
01:03:46What do those two rats want?
01:03:49Social call.
01:03:51I think I've been working too hard, wanting me to retire.
01:03:54In fact, they insisted on it.
01:03:56Think it rough?
01:03:58Only verbally.
01:04:00One of them makes the threats, the other one looks like he can carry them out.
01:04:04That's the one I threw out of the firm.
01:04:08Oh.
01:04:11How about a drink?
01:04:12No, thanks.
01:04:14What else do they say?
01:04:21Come on. Let's have it.
01:04:26Is it true?
01:04:29Yes.
01:04:33It doesn't make sense.
01:04:38It just doesn't make sense.
01:04:40Why doesn't it?
01:04:42If people are willing to pay the price, why shouldn't I take it?
01:04:45Pay the price?
01:04:46Do you know anything about the price they're really paying?
01:04:48What about the price I paid?
01:04:50Do you know what it means to be an outcast, have decent people walk away from you?
01:04:53To be thrown out of your room?
01:04:55To have every legitimate door slammed in your face for something you didn't do?
01:04:59Ever since I got here, I've been working on your case, trying to help you.
01:05:03Trying to clear you.
01:05:04I've almost got this thing licked.
01:05:06What chance have I got if you stick in this rotten racket?
01:05:10Do you want me to go the same way Ellis did?
01:05:13He took the same rap that I did, and finally bought himself a one-way ticket.
01:05:18I got as much right to travel for his cabin as anybody else.
01:05:22And if the black market's my ticket, why, I'm buying it.
01:05:30Get out of it.
01:05:36Get out of it, Brad.
01:05:39You're not the same guy who fought against this sort of thing?
01:05:43Against the little guy getting pushed around?
01:05:45Until I got pushed around.
01:05:51That's it?
01:05:53That's it.
01:05:57Okay.
01:06:01You know, I'll be around here.
01:06:04That guy likes to live with a noisy conscience.
01:06:09I'd have given my life for you.
01:06:12But we're on opposite sides of the fence now.
01:06:15I came here to do a job, and I'm going to do it.
01:06:17No matter what it costs me or you.
01:06:21You see, Brad, there's no price tag on my principles.
01:06:25I'll send for the rest of my stuff later.
01:06:48Where's Parker?
01:06:51Rock.
01:06:54Van Ellis.
01:06:57Now me.
01:07:01Well, what do you think?
01:07:04Incredible.
01:07:06Fantastic.
01:07:08Mr. Andrews, this is shocking.
01:07:10I meant it to be.
01:07:12You sure you can substantiate these facts?
01:07:15I can.
01:07:15All of them.
01:07:17But this is a bombshell.
01:07:18It will blow this town wide open.
01:07:20I hope it does.
01:07:22People have a right to know the truth.
01:07:23Of course.
01:07:25But men, women, and children are starving.
01:07:28And when people read names, dates, and places...
01:07:31You've got to break the stranglehold that's keeping food out of the people's mouths.
01:07:37Mr. Andrews.
01:07:39If you're willing to take the risk, I am, I'll print it.
01:07:47Oh, Mr. Andrews.
01:08:00And may I sound a note of warning?
01:08:03These people aren't going to take this lying down, you know.
01:08:06Well, we'll just see who's the more powerful.
01:08:09They are the press.
01:08:11Sergeant.
01:08:12Sergeant.
01:08:12And be careful.
01:08:13I'd hate to lose you.
01:08:14The old reporters never die.
01:08:17The ink in their veins preserves them.
01:08:20Remarkable man, Mr. Andrews.
01:08:22He could not be bought, and he could not be intimidated.
01:08:25I dislike harming him, really.
01:08:27But he leaves us no alternative.
01:08:30I would like that job very much.
01:08:40It's yours.
01:08:42You know, if you look at it a certain way, he's really committing suicide with a typewriter.
01:08:52Madam Baron, open side.
01:09:02What are you doing here with these rats?
01:09:04Raymond.
01:09:05You left me no alternative.
01:09:06Make that clear to me.
01:09:08I warned you Mr. Andrews would become dangerous.
01:09:10You said you'd handle it.
01:09:12You didn't.
01:09:12Somebody has to.
01:09:14Black markets certainly make strange bedfellows.
01:09:16Just good business.
01:09:18Mark Andrews is our common enemy.
01:09:19Stay away, Mark Andrews.
01:09:20We've got to work together.
01:09:22And you'll die together.
01:09:23Just remember that.
01:09:24How dare you speak to me like that?
01:09:27You were nothing when I took you into the firm and gave you a chance to get the things you
01:09:30said you wanted.
01:09:31You wanted money, didn't you?
01:09:33And your self-respect back.
01:09:34Well, you've got them.
01:09:35But nobody hands you those things on a silver platter.
01:09:38They've got to be paid for.
01:09:40But Mark isn't paying for it.
01:09:42And if anything happens to him, you'll answer to me.
01:09:46Each one of you.
01:09:48Okay.
01:09:57It would appear we have quite a problem.
01:10:03Two problems.
01:10:19Mr. Dunham.
01:10:21Mr. Dunham.
01:10:29You did come back.
01:10:31Yes, I did.
01:10:35Go on.
01:10:35Get back to bed.
01:10:36You took us in.
01:10:39All right.
01:10:44All right.
01:10:54Now, go on back to bed.
01:10:56Tell us a story.
01:10:58I don't know any stories.
01:11:00Please tell us a story.
01:11:02Tell us a story.
01:11:04Tell us a story.
01:11:06Okay.
01:11:20Well?
01:11:23Well, once upon a time there was a flyer.
01:11:26Was he a dragon?
01:11:28Some people thought he was.
01:11:30Dragons don't fly.
01:11:32Well, this one did.
01:11:34Who's telling this?
01:11:35I'll keep quiet going.
01:11:38Well, this flyer, this dragon, I mean, got into a lot of trouble for something he didn't do.
01:11:43And it changed his whole life.
01:11:46Then he got mixed up with a lady dragon.
01:11:48And the flyer went to work for the lady dragon because he had to eat and have a place to
01:11:52live.
01:11:52Did he do wrong things?
01:11:54Some.
01:11:55Then he met a girl.
01:11:57Was the girl a dragon too?
01:12:00No.
01:12:00Oh, she was very pretty and very sweet.
01:12:04Like a princess?
01:12:05Yes, like a princess.
01:12:08But she thought the flyer had done something bad to her brother.
01:12:11Did he?
01:12:12No.
01:12:13The flyer was innocent.
01:12:15And he wanted her to believe that because...
01:12:17Because he loved the princess?
01:12:23Did she love him?
01:12:25I don't know that part of the story yet, sweetheart.
01:12:39Does the story have a happy ending?
01:12:43You go to sleep, sweetheart.
01:12:58I don't blame you.
01:13:00My record hasn't been so good.
01:13:15Brad?
01:13:22I'm sorry, Brad.
01:13:23I'm sorry I misjudged you.
01:13:26In my heart, I didn't want to believe it.
01:13:32You're the first fine thing that's come into my life since the day I thought it was over.
01:13:38And I'm not going to let you out of it.
01:13:49Oh, hold your horses.
01:13:54Hello?
01:13:56Yeah, speaking.
01:13:59Well, I've been out all day.
01:14:04What?
01:14:05Stolen?
01:14:06Well, hold the phone.
01:14:09I'll see if I can find a carbon copy.
01:14:21Hello.
01:14:22Yeah, I got it.
01:14:24No.
01:14:25No, I'll bring it down myself.
01:14:27This time I'm sticking around until it's printed.
01:14:53Mark, I may be down in your book as a rat.
01:14:55It doesn't matter about me.
01:14:58But for your own sake, be careful.
01:15:00Don't worry about me.
01:15:12Mark.
01:15:14Brad.
01:15:15Here.
01:15:17Get this.
01:15:18My paper.
01:15:20Louie, get a man once quick.
01:15:32You can't go in yet, sir.
01:15:47How is he?
01:15:47He suffered a great loss of blood.
01:15:49You can give it to me straight, Doc.
01:15:51What are his chances?
01:15:52Not so good.
01:15:54May I see him?
01:15:55Yes, you can go in.
01:15:58Come on.
01:16:02Come on.
01:16:03Come on.
01:16:03Come on.
01:16:11Brad.
01:16:13Brad, did you get the article of the paper?
01:16:15Yes, they got it.
01:16:18Thanks, pal.
01:16:27Did you get a load of the cute nurse?
01:16:34Yeah, sure.
01:16:36Oh, don't let it get you down.
01:16:39How do you expect me to feel?
01:16:42If I'd gotten out of it when you asked me to, maybe this wouldn't have happened.
01:16:45Uh-uh.
01:16:46This is the only way they can stop me, whether you were in it or not.
01:16:55Brad, listen.
01:16:57Madam Baranoff was behind the smuggling in your plane.
01:17:03And the guilty member of your crew was Rourke.
01:17:08It's all in the article.
01:17:13But I wanted you to hear it from me.
01:17:18Mark.
01:17:20Mark, you can't check out on me again.
01:17:22You can.
01:17:23You're dead.
01:17:25Old reporters never die.
01:17:30Did I do all right for an old saint or not?
01:17:47Yeah.
01:17:51You did all right.
01:18:04Well, Mr. Smith...
01:18:06Oh.
01:18:07Oh, I can't believe you.
01:18:15You did all right.
01:18:19Come on.
01:18:19Ooh.
01:18:27Mark Andrews, they're coming in.
01:18:32I warned you, Mr. Andrews would become dangerous.
01:18:35You said you'd handwrite it.
01:18:35You didn't.
01:18:36Somebody has it.
01:18:45Many people don't know unless they see it with their own eyes.
01:18:47The black locker doesn't touch their eyes, but it touches these eyes very quickly.
01:18:59This is no penny antirex, you know.
01:19:01It covers the whole world and every country that's trying to get back on its feet.
01:19:06It's a lot worse than the old days of Prohibition.
01:19:09Not everybody drinks, but everybody eats.
01:19:20No guy likes to live with a noisy conscience.
01:19:27Do you know anything about the price they're really paying?
01:19:32Ever since I got here, I've been working on your case trying to help you.
01:19:36Trying to clear you.
01:19:37What chance have I got if you're sticking this rotten racket?
01:19:43Get out of it, get out of it, Brad.
01:19:46Get out of it, Brad.
01:19:52Mr. Brad.
01:19:55Mr. Brad, do not go in there.
01:19:57They'll kill you.
01:19:58It's in the papers.
01:19:59All of their names.
01:20:00They will kill you.
01:20:15Louie, tell these people to take the food.
01:20:17I want them to have it.
01:20:19All of it.
01:20:21Yes, sir.
01:20:21Jen, Jen!
01:20:23Jen, Jen!
01:20:25Kidak!
01:20:26$1,000 horses!
01:20:31Kidak!
01:20:32Get your foot!
01:20:36Check that!
01:20:36Get right!
01:20:37Get your dog chief!
01:20:43Get your dog chief!
01:20:52Get your dog chief!
01:21:02Let's go.
01:21:45Yes?
01:21:46Raymond, is the plane ready?
01:21:49We'll get over here just as quickly as you can.
01:21:53What?
01:21:54The police got Caridian?
01:21:56Well, they won't get us.
01:21:59Yes, darling, just you and I.
01:22:11Brad, darling, I knew I could count on you.
01:22:15Just you and I, darling.
01:22:17I can explain that, Brad. You see, I was...
01:22:19Shut up!
01:22:21You're going to write a confession that's going to clear me.
01:22:25Don't dig up the past. It's over. It's over and forgotten.
01:22:27You heard what I said?
01:22:29Brad, listen. I've got money. All the money we'll ever need.
01:22:31We can go away together somewhere.
01:22:34You're going to write what I tell you.
01:22:36You're insane.
01:22:39Start writing.
01:22:41I, Tamara Baranoff,
01:22:44do hereby confess.
01:23:15That Raymond,
01:23:39I'll take that.
01:23:44I'll take that.
01:23:48I'm afraid, Mr. Dunham, that this confession will never see the light of day.
01:24:17Let's go.
01:25:02Mr. Dunham, where is he? Is he inside?
01:25:04Don't go in, miss. Please don't go in.
01:25:43I'm afraid, Mr. Dunham.
01:26:00I'm afraid, Mr. Dunham.
01:26:01I'm afraid, Mr. Dunham.
